between men

A voice sounded from behind, I don't know who it was talking to, those two hands lifted me up and walked to the side, I struggled hard, at this moment the light bulb increased a little brightness, illuminating the entire back room.

I saw a group of robed men standing in two lines on either side of a huge crucifix on top of a pile of skulls, and the two of them led me forward and bound me to the crucifix.

They all knelt down.

A man came forward on his knees, "Great Father," he said loudly, "forgive us for the sins we have committed, we let the devil escape from the holy place, but now he is forced to return, we beg you to forgive us guilt."

"Forgive us our sins—"

A man stood up from behind with a knife and walked towards me. He walked behind me and put the knife across my neck. The pace of things was so fast that I didn't even react.

"Evil will eventually—"

boom! ——

The knife fell with a jingle, and then James slammed open the door and walked in. Before the man kneeling in the middle could say, "Stop him!", he was shot in the head by James, and the scene suddenly became chaotic. They fired, and the group of robes fell to the ground after a while, and a guy lay on the ground and cursed James for the rest of his life and no one answered.

"Oh, no, I don't need to talk to you." James smiled, "As long as I can talk to others."

After he shot the man, James ran up and released me, "Are you all right? The cult didn't do anything to you, did it?" he asked nervously.

"No, it's okay." I was in a trance, "Let's go out."

He nodded, then hugged me and walked out.

"Why did you come here?" He suddenly asked angrily. I touched the note in my pocket, thinking I should tell him to forget it, so I was about to take it out, but at this moment he My body stopped suddenly, and I turned my head to look, and found that the townspeople who hadn't seen before were blocking the front with sticks and sticks, looking at James with an unfriendly expression.

"Don't look, okay?" James said while holding my head. I didn't know what he was going to do, but I nodded in response.

His body moved immediately, and then he hugged me with one hand, and took out a black box-like thing from his pocket with the other hand, and he shook the box violently, and suddenly the box became A submachine gun, he pressed a place on the gun, and the bullets flew out like a rainstorm.

"Folding submachine gun," he said with a smile, still pressing my head tightly with his left hand to prevent me from looking at it. The townspeople shouted loudly. After scanning for a while, he stopped and rubbed the gun on his clothes. A few times, and then he threw the gun aside, I raised my head and tried to take a sneak peek, but he quickly covered my eyes.

"Not suitable for children, don't look," he said, "but if you want to hear me describe it, I will tell you that there are 26 corpses in total, and once I take my hand away, you can see their eyes widen Yes, looking at you with fear." He paused, "Do you want to see?"

But he didn't care about my answer after he asked, he hugged me to the side of the car and stuffed me in, the wound on my leg was hurt a little by him, but I didn't say it, so he didn't know .The car drove up more than ten seconds later. From James' expression, he had already had great doubts about the purpose of my trip.

"Did you come here just to have your throat cut?" He said angrily, "Or do you want to amuse me?"

"No, I didn't think about it that way." I hurried back, and then took out the note from my pocket, "I found it in your mailbox, it was sent to me by my dad, he asked me to come back, I don't Knew it would be like this."

He took the note and looked at me suspiciously. I watched him open the note, and immediately saw him say angrily, "Are you kidding me? It's just a blank piece of paper! "

After he finished speaking, he threw the paper over. I was taken aback for a moment, then picked up the paper and took a look, "No! There are words!" I pointed to the words on the note and said to him, "There are words There are so many, how can you say it is a blank sheet of paper?"

James stopped the car abruptly. He took out the piece of paper from my hand, then tore it apart and placed it in front of me, saying each word in a word: "It, above, above, no, the word—"

I just wanted to refute him, and then I was surprised to see that there was indeed no words at all on the paper. I rubbed my eyes vigorously——still nothing.

"No—I see it has—I see—"

"What's the matter with you?" He looked into my eyes and asked. I was in a daze for a long time and didn't know what to say. He immediately started the car again.I pulled the paper tightly, and the blank content on it was as frightening as the devil in the mouth of the church.

It was past five o'clock in the afternoon when we got home. James drove very slowly and didn't get on the highway.I didn't ask him what was wrong, because his expression showed signs of anger along the way.

"Go take a shower," he pushed me into the bathroom, "I'm going out to do some shopping, and I'll be back after you take a shower."

I responded, and then I heard him go out, and the door was closed loudly.

I was a little puzzled when I heard the sound of him going out, is he really angry?So what did I do wrong, I didn't know that there was a cross on the pile of skulls in the house, and I didn't expect that the piece of paper could hide the words.Thinking of this, I took out the piece of paper and looked at it again. It was blank, and I couldn't see any traces of writing.

"Okay." I said to myself, and then put on the water to wash, I don't like to use hot water, it makes me feel very wrong.

When I went out, James hadn't come back, but there was someone sitting on the sofa. I was quite surprised to go over and find that it was Ice Wolf sitting there.

"Why are you here?" I said as I walked over and sat on the sofa, he took a sip of the water on the table, "James called me here," he said, "I don't know why, but he called I'm coming... Oh! By the way." He suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly took out three air tickets from his pocket, "Our air ticket departs at two o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, from Shanghai to France."

"Us?" I took the ticket and asked in wonder, "You mean us? Do you want to go too?"

He grinned, "Of course, I miss Mrs. Loveant very much, and James agreed to accompany me all the way—as a light bulb."

"But it's two o'clock in the morning...isn't it too late? I still have to go to Shanghai. Shall we leave tomorrow morning?"

"No," he shook his head with a smile, "To be precise, it will be seven o'clock tomorrow night. You have seen James' driving skills. He can drive from Yunnan to Shanghai in seven hours. Since that Oates was taken by him It hasn’t hit top speed since it was modified, and I bet you’ll be surprised.”

"And what about after that?" I asked, "After the three of us left, we left the car there?"

He threw an apple over, and I caught it. "I want to be beautiful," he said, "Wind Wolf will wait there, and he will drive back as soon as we leave."

I nodded. James opened the door and walked in. He didn't hold anything he bought.I saw him go straight into the kitchen, and then called the ice wolf's name, and the ice wolf stood up immediately and walked in.

Well, there's something they don't want me to know.I stared at the kitchen and kept thinking, and suddenly a sense of loss surged up in my heart, so that I took a bite of the apple in my hand.

They talked inside for more than ten minutes before they came out. After James came out, he went directly to the second floor. Ice Wolf walked up to me and sat down, looking at me with a heavy face.

"You—can you tell me the real reason for coming back to the town next time?" He asked suddenly.

I subconsciously looked at the second floor, James was packing his things.

"Er—I..."

I don't know how to say it, but the ice wolf's eyes are fixed on me, and I dare not look at him.

"I don't know," I said, "just to see, I—"

"I bet you wouldn't want to go to the old house," he interrupted, "James said you saw writing on a blank page, can you tell me what you saw?"

"Uh... I remember you going back?" I changed the subject, "How did you come here so soon?"

"I'm downtown," he said with a smile, clasping his hands. "What do you see?"

……

"Or can you show me that paper?"

I breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stood up and walked into the bathroom and took out the paper to him. He took the paper and looked at it carefully. After a few minutes, he put the paper on the table. Obviously, he didn't see anything. .

"Okay," he said suddenly, "I won't ask you about the content on it, but can you tell me if you saw patterns on it? Similar to signs, totems and the like."

He was talking about the crucifix on the skull, and James had probably told him all about it.But... since he wanted to know, why did he let the ice wolf ask?

"No," I said, "no totems or signs, have I seen them? No! I—"

"You're lying." He stared into my eyes and said, "You're talking nonsense, trying to stall for time and find a suitable reason to perfuse me. Let me ask again, what is that pattern?"

"NO, I have not--"

"Xiaoyuan!"

His eyes looked at me oppressively, and I could feel his impending anger in it.

"Okay," I had no choice but to lower my head,
