"We are cursed and have no way to leave here." Sheriff Downey showed a bitter smile, "Some people decided to leave at first, but for some reason those people came back in a daze a few years later. These people were Mary Shaw was targeted, puppets kept appearing in these people's homes, and strange things often happened in the town, which did not end until these people died."

"This is Mary Xiao's warning to us. Let us stay here forever. As long as we strictly abide by the rules here and don't think about escaping from here, we can at least live normally."

"According to what you said, this Mary Xiao is an evil spirit. Why don't you go to the church people? They are very good at this." Meng Zu asked doubtfully.

"There was no church in our town. A young priest once came here. After several people told the priest about Mary Xiao, the priest planned to perform an exorcism to eliminate Mary Xiao, but the priest finally He was still killed by Mary Xiao, and all those who told the priest were killed by Mary Xiao, who was watching us secretly."

"And the people in our town will lose their memory of Mary Shaw as long as they leave the town, so even if we want to tell the church these things, we can't." Sheriff Downey said helplessly.

"Wait, according to what you said, outsiders like me will be targeted by Mary Xiao when they come here. Your town must have had many outsiders come here over the years, and those people were killed by Mary Xiao. , it is impossible for such a large number of people to go missing without attracting the attention of the government. Once the government discovers something strange, it will definitely ask people from the church to come over."

"That's not the case. In fact, as long as outsiders come to us and abide by the rules, usually seven or eight people will be killed by Mary Shaw in a year, and those who survive will leave here the next day. Once they leave, Ray Vansfair's story about Mary Shaw and those killed by it will disappear from memory. We also discovered that outsiders do not come back like those in our small town. Seven or eight people die a year. It won't attract the attention of the government," Downey explained bitterly.

Meng Zu agrees with this. In the United States alone, tens of thousands of homeless people die quietly every year. These people cannot attract the attention of the government. Seven or eight people are missing, and no one calls the police, so no one will take care of them.

"What about the phone, or use a computer to write down these things and tell the government?" Since you have no memory after leaving, society now does not need people to express things verbally like before, and tell things directly from here.

"It's useless. As long as the phone or computer says something about Mary Shaw, it will malfunction and cannot be transmitted at all. Moreover, we have also written letters, but the words on the letters will disappear as soon as we leave the town, and the person who wrote the letter will People will eventually be killed by Mary Shaw.”

This is to keep the people here in captivity. According to what Sheriff Downey said, this Mary Xiao's ability is really terrifying. Now it seems that Sam's disappearance is related to this Mary Xiao. Meng Zu suddenly feels that things are a bit tricky. Wow, a small matter of finding someone actually got involved in this kind of thing.

"Only when outsiders come to your place will they be targeted by Mary Xiao. This child Sam has never been here before, why was he sent here?"

"That's because someone turned to Mary Shaw and specifically found people from outside for it."

"Someone would actually take refuge in the resentful spirit!" Meng Zu(?д?;)

Sheriff Downey said sarcastically: "There are all kinds of people in the United States, and there are still people who believe in the devil."

This is true. The most indispensable thing in the United States is faith. Because of freedom of belief, there are all kinds of weird beliefs. Moreover, there are real supernatural things in this world, so naturally some people will believe in these things.

"Chief Downey, do you know who these people are?" Meng Zu asked.

"We don't know this anymore. We just found that some figures carried large packages to Mary Shaw's residence at night. Because of Mary Shaw, we didn't dare to catch up and check." Sheriff Downey shook his head.

Originally, Meng Zu wanted to target these people, but it seemed that there was no hope. "Chief Downey, does Mary Xiao only kill people at night?"

Sheriff Downey thought for a while, "Yes, those people were killed by Mary Shaw after dark."

This made Meng Zu breathe a sigh of relief. At least Mary Xiao, a resentful spirit, couldn't kill people during the day. "Chief Downey, where is Mary Xiao's residence? It's not dark yet. I want to go and check."

Sheriff Downey persuaded Meng Zu: "I think it's better for you not to go yet. Since this child has been taken to Ravensfair, he has been completely targeted by Mary Xiao. If you are involved in If you get into it, you will be watched thoroughly by Mary Xiao.”

Meng Zu thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter. I'll go see if I can find Sam. If I find him, I'll take him out of here immediately. If I don't find him, I will leave here before dark."

It's not dark yet, so I still have time. Mary Xiao's home court is tonight. It would be best if I could take Sam away. If I can't, I'll give up the mission and leave. Meng Zu is not good at dealing with resentful spirits. If it's Ordinary wraiths can be dealt with by themselves using holy light bullets, but this Mary Xiao is obviously a very powerful wraith. She may use up all her energy and still not be able to kill the other party. There is no need to put herself in danger for 50 employment points. middle.

"Well, there is a theater on the far west side of the town. That is the place where Mary Xiao performed before her death, and it is also where she lived. I'm sorry that I can't accompany you there. You can only find it yourself. If you If you don't find this child, leave here before dark." Chief Downey said apologetically.

"it does not matter."

Meng Zu didn't have any contempt for Sheriff Downey's behavior. A real and terrifying ghost had caused indelible fear in the hearts of the residents of the town for decades.

Meng Zu drove west along the road and came to the theater. The theater had been abandoned for many years, and the outer wall surface had been corroded to some extent. There was a lake not far from the theater, and the big trees around the lake had long fallen out due to winter. The leaves were gone, leaving only the bare trunks and branches.

There were more than a dozen pitch-black North American crows standing on the tree. All of these crows looked directly at the car in front of the theater. Meng Zu got down and walked to the front of the theater. He smelled a faint smell of decay, something like The wood becomes moldy in damp places.

Meng Zu stretched out his hand to push open the door. The door made a rattling sound. After entering the door, he immediately felt that someone was peeping at him. Meng Zu was already very familiar with the feeling of peeping. A person looking at him casually would not be able to arouse him. In response, only when you focus on yourself, you will feel that someone is peeping at you.

Meng Zu turned his head and looked in the direction of his peeping. He saw a figure standing at the window on the second floor, but in the blink of an eye the figure disappeared, and at the same time the feeling of peeping disappeared.

An ordinary person might think that he saw it wrong, but Meng Zu was very sure that someone was looking at him at the window just now.

"Mary Shaw?"

At this time, Meng Zu activated the clue guidance skill. If Sam was here, he could only go in and have a look. If he wasn't there, there would be no need to enter the theater.
