Chocolate has always hated the cold environment, and even Jenkins has to accommodate its preferences. The ghouls outside have violated a taboo.
Without these two humans behind him, the cat is guaranteed to tear the outside to pieces. But it has to take care of Jenkins's thoughts, so it can't even modify the memory after the fact. In this family, cats and people take care of each other.
In the dark, the cat walked past the women, opened the drooping clothes with the cat's head, and came to the door of the closet. Because of the pads on the soles of its feet, its footsteps were so soft that Miss Michael and Miss Lawrence did not notice that the little creature was voluntarily walking towards danger.
The bedroom is not big. After checking the outer curtains and the bottom of the bed, the creature outside walked straight towards the wardrobe. Miss Michael could almost hear the beating of Miss Lawrence's heart in her arms, without realizing that it contained her own.
"God~"
She groaned inwardly, remembering her brief groan, her parents, her lover, and finally Jenkins' expressionless, goofy look.
"I… "
"Meow~"
The meowing interrupted her wild thoughts, and the two women looked at the source of the sound at the same time, only to see Chocolate standing bravely in front of the cabinet door, furrowed and roaring at the wooden door.
"Roaring" was of course imagined by Ms. Michael and Ms. Lawrence. Chocolate is petite, and no matter how hard he tries, it is impossible to make a loud noise.
As if a miracle had come to this small space, and it seemed that the gods were saving it, after the cat meowed, the footsteps outside the cabinet door suddenly stopped. The women tried their best to suppress their violent panting, trying to hear some more sounds, but all they could hear was their own heartbeats.
"What happened today?"
Miss Lawrence's experience today is more exciting than in the past 20 years, but she really longs for that peaceful daily life now. Miss Michael thought there were ferocious criminals outside, but she knew exactly what kind of monster was outside. Therefore, the only one who can get rid of that thing is the cat left by Jenkins.
She really wanted to reach out and hold the chocolate in her arms and not let go all night, but her body was already frozen with great fear. She believed that Miss Mihail was the same, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the actions of the two of them at this moment.
Boom~
Miss Lawrence and Miss Michel had the illusion that their hearts had stopped at the same time. After tens of seconds of silence, the sound of footsteps outside the closet reappeared. Although the forward speed is very slow, it is obviously coming in this direction.
"Meow~"
Chocolate yelled "violently" again, but the cat's voice no longer worked. Miss Lawrence could barely see in the dark, and the fur on Chocolate's back was blown up, which was a small animal's instinctive reaction to danger.
"Whoever it is, please help me..."
The sound of footsteps came outside the door half a minute later, and after three seconds of silence, a heavy voice came from the front of the closet, and someone put their hand on the handle.
The two ladies closed their eyes at the same time, preparing to face the tragic future in a few seconds, while the chocolate still "roared" at the cabinet door "bravely". In fact, except for the first sound, which uses very little force, the rest of the sounds are ordinary meows. it has heard-
"Ah, what is this? Jenkins, come on!"
Hathaway's angry voice came from a more distant place, followed by deafening gunshots.
The outside of the closet immediately became a mess, and the flickering light of candles and oil lamps shot into the closet through the crack in the door. After an astonishing scream, the sound of glass being broken came from the other end of the room. The women stared wide-eyed into the darkness, and then the dazzling light was let in. Jenkins' face appeared first, and he reached out and carried his cat out of the closet; Hathaway also quickly squeezed to the closet door, surprised Uncertainly looking at the two girls hugging each other.
The piercing night wind blows into the house through the broken glass windows, whistling and making the curtains and snow flakes fly together. Jenkins and Hathaway stood side by side facing the faint moonlight, with a messy bedroom and black blood stains behind them.
Blown by the night wind, Miss Lawrence and Miss Mihail shivered, feeling that sweat had soaked their clothes. They were pulled up by the men and women who stretched out their hands, and their legs felt weak.
Only then did I realize that there was some other light besides the moonlight outside the window. Looking carefully, it seemed that something was burning under the building.
"Oh, this matter is very complicated to explain, but I have figured it all out, and there is only one truth."
Jenkins took the coat from the servant at the door and handed it to the two ladies. While leading them to a safer bedroom, he hurriedly explained, "Well... Actually everything is caused by the doctor, that is a mad scientist... you guys You should understand what this means, right? On the surface, he lives in the villa, but in fact he uses the nearby wild animals to carry out terrible live experiments. He found some strange viruses in the nearby animals. The person who broke into the room just now It's just infected with a virus, that's why it becomes aggressive..."
"Is fear of cats also a characteristic of that virus?"
Miss Michael looked at the chocolate in Jenkins' arms and asked, the extreme fear consumed her spirit again, and she was now on the verge of waking up and falling asleep. If it wasn't for being held by Hathaway, she would faint now.
"Um?"
Jenkins immediately understood what she meant:
"Yes, it just so happens that the virus regards feline animals, such as tigers, as its natural enemies. The feces of such animals are the killer of the virus. Therefore, even if it infects humans, it will definitely not approach cats easily."
All the above-mentioned things were lies fabricated by Jenkins in one breath, and the priesthood of lies convinced Miss Mihail of this, and she did not link this accident with the occult at all.
Because it was too disgusting, she didn't see the burning ghoul wrapped in curtains and thrown out of the window, nor did she see Miss Lawrence looking at Jenkins in awe.
But at least the view that "the culprit is Doctor Bray Deckert" is true, and whether it is the manic wolves in winter, the raised cliff spiders, or the ghouls just now, they are all determined to become experts in necrology The Giver is playing tricks.
After leaving the bedroom on the second floor a few hours ago, Jenkins and the others discovered a secret passage behind a cupboard in the basement, and after exploring, they found that the passage inside had collapsed. Just when everyone returned and passed the main entrance hall of the villa, Hathaway suddenly pushed open the gate of the villa and returned from the snowstorm. She revealed to Jenkins what happened earlier today and the doctor's secret.
