Looking at the black hole of the gun pointed at his head, Jamie seemed frightened and just sat on the ground with his mouth open. And Ella looked at Xie Lun, who had a solemn expression, and smiled faintly: "Okay, let's shoot. Anyway, I will definitely not be the one who dies in the end."
Xie Lun raised his eyebrows and was about to pull the trigger immediately.
"Wait a minute," Ella sighed and said helplessly, "You are so boring, you can't even make a joke. Don't forget, you are a police detective, why are you so cold-blooded."
Xie Lun sneered: "A guy who makes a real life into a puppet seems to have no right to call others cold-blooded."
"That's art, you mortals don't understand."
Ella shook her head seemingly resentfully.
"Stop talking nonsense," Sherron said coldly, "Either let us go, or I'll drag Jamie along and die together. You choose one."
Ella pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't be so impatient, Mr. Detective. Didn't you just say that this matter can still be discussed. So, just say what you want, as long as I can do it, Guaranteed to satisfy you.”
"real"
"real"
"Okay," Sherron said solemnly, "I want to know everything about Mary Shaw, including the reason why you lured Jamie back."
Ella's expression changed instantly, and she looked at Xie Lun coldly: "You have no intention of handing Jamie over to me at all?"
Sherron shrugged: "I am a police detective, and pursuing the truth is my mission. Don't worry, as long as you tell me everything, I promise to leave Jamie to you."
"No, you're lying"
Ella suddenly changed from a beautiful blond woman to an eerie white-haired old lady. With a piercing scream, the long tongue shot out and stabbed Sherron's throat.
"Jamie, now"
Sherron fired wildly at the transformed Ella, and Jamie, who had been playing dumb, turned around and slapped the wooden door hard after hearing Sherron's shout.
Only then did Ella see that Jamie had drawn a strange symbol with blood on the wooden door behind her at some point.
"takakπνeμataδiaσkopπζoνtai. The evil spirits retreat"
Jamie almost shouted this Greek sentence at the top of his lungs, and the runes under his palms immediately emitted scarlet light, followed by an invisible wave of air that suddenly burst out.
"No"
Ella seemed to be hit head-on by an invisible truck, and flew back into the sea of fire. At the same time, the wooden door that had been closed finally opened.
"run"
Sherron and Jamie rushed out without saying a word. But as soon as they rushed out of the narrow corridor, there was a faint scream behind them.
"Hurry, hurry, that monster is going to catch up."
The two people ran out of the corridor quickly, one behind the other, and just stepped onto the sky bridge. Suddenly the overpass began to shake violently for no apparent reason. The two of them managed to hold on to the chains on both sides to prevent themselves from falling off the overpass.
But then, a tongue shot out from the darkness on the other side of the overpass, whizzing towards Jamie.
At this critical moment, Sherron grabbed Jamie, jumped out of the overpass, and pulled the curtain down quickly from the top.
There was a crisp "click" sound, and the wooden board, which had been corroded by moisture all year round, failed to withstand the impact and broke directly this time.
With a "plop", Sherron and Jamie fell heavily into the lake below the theater.
"Swim, don't look back, swim quickly"
Sherron pushed Jamie, then pulled the grenade away, and threw it up through the hole in the floor with his backhand.
"Rumble"
The shock wave generated by the explosion forced Sherron and Jamie to dive underwater. When they couldn't hold their breath anymore, the two of them surfaced. At this time, the two of them had already swam out of the theater's foundation. By the light of the burning theater fire, the two of them swam hard toward the lake.
The lake water was freezing cold, but Xie Lun was able to withstand it thanks to his extraordinary physique and amazing endurance. But Jamie soon died, and in the end it was Sherron who dragged him, finally swam to the shore, and climbed up with difficulty.
After lying on the ground and resting for a while, Sherren stood up again. He must find a way to find a warm place or build a bonfire, otherwise Jamie will be in trouble if he gets hypothermia.
Just as Sherron dragged Jamie and walked inside, suddenly a person emerged from the tall grass in front of him. The sawed-off shotgun was pointed at Sherron's head, and a somewhat familiar voice sounded: "It's you."
"John" Sherron breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't point the gun at me and come and help. I'm warning you, there is an evil spirit chasing us behind us. If we don't run away quickly, we will be in trouble."
John looked at Jamie lying on the ground, his whole body trembling slightly, sighed helplessly, and together with Sherron, he lifted Jamie up and walked quickly inland.
After passing through the tall grass, a narrow path appeared in front of us, and a yellow car parked on the path.
After the three of them got into the car, John didn't say anything. He quickly started the car, backed from the path onto the road, and then sped forward along the road.
"Do you have any dry clothes?" Sherron touched Jamie's forehead and said in a deep voice, "We have to find a warm place to change his clothes, otherwise we will be in trouble if we continue like this."
John sighed: "I know, otherwise where do you think I would drive?"
Soon, buildings appeared on both sides of the road. At first, Sherron thought he was in the small town of Falravens again. But after careful identification, he soon discovered that he was wrong.
Most of the buildings in the small town of Falravens are dilapidated and covered with spider webs. The buildings here are still very neat. Although they are not new, at least there are people cleaning and overhauling them.
"Thank God," Sherron let out a long breath, "I finally came out of that unfortunate place in Falravens. John, you don't know what I encountered in that damn town."
John's expression was ugly: "Don't be too happy, Agent Xie. I bet you that you will regret coming to this town soon."
Xie Lun's face changed: "Damn it, don't say, this town also has problems."
John didn't speak, just drove the car.
After John's reminder, Sherron immediately discovered the suspicion. That's right, although I don't know the exact time now, it is definitely late at night. But in this small town, in addition to the street lights, every house also has lights on.
Don’t people in this town need to sleep
What's even more striking is that no one ever passes by the window. It was as if all the residents in the town were sleeping, just with the lights on.
The car turned left at the crossroads in the center of the town, drove to the end, and stopped in front of an imposing and tall building.
Xie Lun stuck his head out and took a look, and saw a sign standing at the door of the building with a series of large English letters printed on it.
"Ambrose Wax Museum"
Xie Lun didn't know why, but he suddenly shivered, and an unknown feeling passed through his heart.
