American comic mercenaries

At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Mengzu drove at high speed and finally followed the map to Revansfell, a small town or a larger village.

Driving the car to a supermarket, Meng Zu got out of the car and walked towards the supermarket. At this time, a middle-aged strong man came out of the supermarket. As he passed by, Meng Zu suddenly felt a slight feeling in his mind. The sound of surging electricity made Meng Zu's pupils shrink and his muscles tightened instantly.

At this moment, when Meng Zu was concentrating, he noticed a faint eerie and cold aura from the other party. However, this aura disappeared as the other party moved away, and the sound of electricity in Meng Zu's mind also disappeared.

"The danger sense was activated just now. Could it be that he is the dark wizard?" Meng Zu turned his head and looked at the back of the strong man retreating, thinking in his mind.

However, Meng Zu did not follow him. Instead, he pushed open the supermarket door and walked in. Wandering around in the dark wizard's territory was an act seeking death, so he had better collect some intelligence to understand the situation first.

There were only two people in the supermarket. A middle-aged fat lady wearing a blue vest was at the checkout counter. Another young man also wearing a blue vest was loading goods on the shelves. Meng Zu took a bottle of water from the water tank and came. Go to the cashier to pay.

When Meng Zu paid the bill, the middle-aged aunt Emma looked at Meng Zu's unfamiliar face and asked, "You are not from here, are you?"

"Yes, I came here for fun." Meng Zu handed the money to Emma and said with a smile.

"Have fun! It's better for you to leave here as soon as possible." Emma persuaded Meng Zu.

Meng Zu's eyes lit up when he heard this. It seemed that the middle-aged aunt Emma knew something, so she showed a curious expression and asked, "Why?"

Emma glanced in one direction of the supermarket, her face became a little serious, and she didn't explain the reason. She just lowered her head slightly and whispered to herself: "Don't be curious about the reason. It's best to leave here before dark. If you stay Come down and stay quiet at night in the hotel and don’t make a sound no matter what happens.”

Before Meng Zu could ask again, Emma stood up and left the checkout counter, shouting to the young people in the supermarket: "Chris, you are moving too slowly, let me help you."

Seeing that Emma didn't want to say more, Meng Zu didn't ask further questions. He left the supermarket with water, drove around the town and found a hotel.

After Meng Zu paid, the hotel owner handed him the key and said to him: "Your room is on the third floor of the top floor, and the room number is written on the key."

"Thank you."

After seeing Meng Zu walking up the stairs and disappearing around the corner, the hotel owner picked up the landline phone at the front desk and dialed a number.

"Donnie, a young Asian man from out of town just stayed at my hotel. Come over and tell him the rules here."

"I know Matthew, I'll come over now."

Meng Zu stood at the corner of the stairs and listened quietly to the call from the hotel owner Matthew, "It seems that everyone here knows something." Meng Zu continued to walk upstairs quietly, came to the room and sat on the bed Bian waited quietly for the arrival of the man named Donnie.

About 10 minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Meng Zu stepped forward to open the door and saw a middle-aged man in his 40s wearing a police uniform standing at the door.

"Hello, my name is Donnie. I am the sergeant of the Revansfell Police Department. I need to talk to you about something."

"Hello, Chief Downey, my name is Meng Zu. I don't know if I need to trouble you to come to me?"

Seeing Meng Zu standing at the door blocking the entire door with no intention of getting out of the way, Chief Downey felt a little helpless, but he was already used to this kind of thing, so he said: "Can you invite me in? These things It’s not appropriate to talk outside the door.”

"Of course, please come in." Meng Zu stepped aside to get out of the way. After Chief Downey came in, Meng Zu closed the door behind him.

Sheriff Downey asked: "Mr. Mengzu, is this your first time coming to Revansfell?"

"Yes, I was traveling and happened to pass by here."

"Well, Mr. Mengzu, there are two things you need to remember in Ravensfell. It's best not to go out after dark. It's best to stay in your room. If you encounter something strange in the room, cover your mouth and be sure not to make a sound." Sheriff Downey ordered with a serious face.

"It's strange. When I was buying things in the previous supermarket, the aunt told me the same thing. Why did she do this?" Meng Zu asked doubtfully. Could it be that the dark wizard cast a curse?

"Supermarket! The person you are talking about is Emma, ​​and Emma is a kind-hearted person." Sheriff Downey said with emotion, "There is no reason, this is for your own good."

These words made Meng Zu even more curious, "Chief Downey, actually, I am a private detective. I came here specially to Ravensfair. This child's name is Sam. He lost contact with his parents three days ago. Yesterday, his parents came to our company and asked us to find Sam and bring him back. After my investigation, I found that Sam was secretly sent to Revansfell."

Meng Zu took out Sam's photo and handed it to Chief Downey, "The strange rules here make it easy for me to be linked to Sam's disappearance. In order to find this child, I will definitely investigate secretly."

Sheriff Downey looked at Sam in the photo and sighed, "It's too late, I'm afraid the child is already dead."

"What?! This child only arrived at Ravensfell an hour or two ago at most." Meng Zu was a little surprised. The dark wizard did it so quickly?

"An hour or two ago?" Sheriff Downey Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

"Yes!" Meng Zu(;￢＿￢)

"I thought he was sent to Ravensfair three days ago." Sheriff Downey said a little embarrassedly, knowing that he had made an own mistake.

"Chief Downey, you just thought Sam was dead. Can you tell me why? Is it related to the rules you told me?"

Sheriff Downey's face became a little ugly, he frowned and thought, and finally let out a weak sigh.

"This child should still be alive. If you go to find the child, you will definitely encounter it. Why don't I tell you, and I hope you can make a decision after listening to it."

"The thing is, in the 40s, Ravensfield built a theater. There was a ventriloquist puppet performer named Mary Shaw in the theater. This woman was lonely and alone. She had no husband or children. , maybe it is infertility, maybe it is death at an early age, but who knows, anyway, no one cares about it. "

"She was always accompanied only by dolls. She always regarded the dolls and props as her own biological children. Perhaps because of this true investment and dedication, the professional talents she displayed were beyond those of ordinary ventriloquists. She can be compared, so the theater is still willing to hire her to perform, and she has settled down in our small town."

"Life was so peaceful until one day, during her performance, a child said to Mary Shaw that your performance was fake. I saw your lips moving. A few weeks later, this child The child disappeared mysteriously, and the child’s family was a local family with a large number of people. They quickly found Mary Shaw and determined that she had kidnapped the child.”

"They thought the child should have been killed. The angry villagers captured Mary and brutally cut out her tongue, killed her, and finally buried her with her puppets."

"I thought things would end there, but who knew that this was the beginning of a nightmare. In the next few decades, the entire town seemed to be cursed by Mary Shaw, and all the puppets that were buried with her were no longer there. He disappeared from the grave and began to appear strangely in the homes of small town residents. On each floor, someone would die, just like Mary Xiao who had her tongue ripped out and died miserably at home."

"There is such a scary nursery rhyme circulating here: Be careful of the gaze from Mary Shaw. She has no children, only dolls. If you see her, don't scream, otherwise she will open your mouth and tear out your tongue. .”

"Wait, if that's the case, why don't you leave here?" Hearing this, Meng Zu asked. Meng Zu himself believed in such weird things. He had also seen vampires and some weird things, and he had never seen them before. The clues he learned from the bartender were related to the strong man he met in the supermarket, so Meng Zu did not suspect that Chief Downey was making up stories to lie to him.
