“…”
Looking at the window in front of him, Fang Zheng was silent for a moment, then he walked forward and knocked on the window gently. Soon, the little girl's expectant voice came again.
"Hello, Mr. Hunter, still can't find my mother?"
“…No, this…”
Hearing the little girl's expectant voice, Fang Zheng couldn't help but hesitate. He turned his head, glanced at the old man behind him, and then sighed.
"Sorry... I haven't found her yet..."
"Why……"
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the girl's voice was obviously a little disappointed. But even so, she still tried to cheer herself up and answered.
"Okay, Mr. Hunter, I'll wait. But is there anything I can do? Maybe Mom and Dad are trapped outside...waiting for me to find them. What do you think, Mr. Hunter?"
"If you ask me, I think they would rather you be safe."
Fang Zheng shook his head and continued softly.
"Little guy, it's very dangerous here. I'm going to take the others to the Orton Chapel. It's relatively safe there, and you're not alone. Believe me, they don't want to see you in danger, otherwise, they wouldn't leave you alone at home, right? How about you come with me? It's very dangerous to be alone on the street. I can take you to church..."
"Um……"
After hearing Fang Zheng's words, the little girl's voice became much more cheerful.
"Okay, I'll be there! Thank you, Mr. Hunter, just wait a moment, I'll be there soon!"
After a while, Fang Zheng saw the light in the window go out, and then the locked door slowly opened. A little girl with long golden hair and a white ribbon poked her head out. After seeing Fang Zheng and the old man beside him, the little girl smiled happily and hurriedly trotted over to the two of them.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr. Hunter...Ah, Ms. Sophie!"
Seeing the old man standing behind Fang Zheng, the little girl seemed to finally relax a lot. Perhaps because she saw someone she knew, the little girl was not as nervous and scared as before. She hurried to the old man's side and looked at her happily.
"Are you going to the chapel, too?"
"Yes, my child."
Looking at the little girl in front of her, Ms. Sophie showed a loving smile on her face. She reached out and touched Cecilia's hair.
"Come with me, Cecilia."
"OK!"
"Then let us go."
Seeing the happy look of the little girl in front of him, Fang Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that bringing this old man here was the right choice. If he was alone, it would be difficult to find a topic to divert the little girl's attention. But now it seemed that he didn't have to worry about this matter anymore.
Fang Zheng did not plan to take the two back to the chapel by the original route. Firstly, the route was full of ladders, which was not suitable for the elderly and children to climb. On the other hand, if they took that route, they would have to go through a long sewer. There might be monsters hiding everywhere, and if they were not careful, they could be easily attacked by the monsters above. Therefore, after careful consideration, Fang Zheng planned to take the two back to the starting point along the ramp, and then take the elevator to the church from the other side of the bridge.
Although that route is a bit roundabout, it is safer. Moreover... this world does not seem to have any time limit. At least for now, Fang Zheng does not think that the way time passes in this world is the same as in the ordinary world.
Of course, the speed of an old man and a child was not very fast, but Fang Zheng was not in a hurry. He held two swords and walked in front of the two people, while watching the surroundings vigilantly. There were originally many crazy villagers here, but Fang Zheng had considered this problem before, so he cleared them out in advance. Judging from the corpses on both sides of the street, it was obviously not time for these villagers to "refresh".
"How pitiful...they have gone mad..."
Looking at the bodies on both sides of the road, Cecilia whispered, and Ms. Sophie held her hand.
"Don't worry, kid, everything will be fine. The night of hunting will eventually pass, and dawn will eventually come..."
"How long will it take for the hunting night to pass?"
Fang Zheng asked without turning his head. He could already tell that this "hunting night" was obviously not referring to a certain night. If we counted the time, it would have been almost twenty hours since Fang Zheng woke up in this world. Unless the calculation of time in this world was different from that in Fang Zheng's world, this "hunting night" should have passed long ago. But now it seemed that the situation was obviously more complicated than Fang Zheng thought.
"I don't know either, but... the night will always pass."
Ms. Sophie gave Fang Zheng an ambiguous answer. Obviously, she had no clue about it. After hearing Ms. Sophie's answer, Fang Zheng didn't say much. Civilians like Ms. Sophie and Cecilia probably wouldn't know much. If he wanted to get more clues about the hunting night, he probably needed to find someone who was related to the hunting and was still sober.
Well, the latter condition is quite important.
Thinking back to the mad Father Gascoigne before, Fang Zheng silently made a check mark in his heart. He didn't want to be attacked by someone for no reason again.
At this moment, Cecilia's voice suddenly rang in Fang Zheng's ears.
"Ms. Sophie, Mr. Hunter, there's a strange man over there."
"Um?"
Hearing Cecilia's voice, Fang Zheng raised his head and looked in the direction the girl pointed. He saw a figure wrapped in a black raincoat passing by the gate at the bottom of the ramp like a ghost and walking to the other side.
"Another stranger..."
Ms. Sophie seemed to be used to this. She snorted coldly, shook her head and said nothing more. But Cecilia, with her fingers in her mouth, spoke in a low voice.
"That guy doesn't look like a good guy... Mr. Hunter, should we go check it out? The place he went to seems to be Dr. Yusefka's clinic..."
"Clinic?"
After hearing Cecilia's suggestion, Fang Zheng thought about it for a while, and then he remembered that if he was right, that should be the place where he first woke up... Well, it did look like a clinic.
But, is there anyone there?
Fang Zheng never went back after he left. He had been to the second floor before and the door was locked, so Fang Zheng instinctively thought that no one was there. If there was someone...
A doctor should know these things better than ordinary people.
"Let's go and take a look."
Considering that it was on the way, Fang Zheng certainly would not miss this opportunity. He led the two of them out of the door and then headed to the clinic next door.
Fang Zheng saw that the entire clinic had not changed at all from the time he left. To Fang Zheng's surprise, the werewolf he had killed when he first arrived here did not "refresh", but was still lying there as a dead body. In order to prevent it from pretending to be dead, Fang Zheng drew his sword and hit it, but the werewolf did not react at all, and was obviously dead.
The door to the second floor was still locked and did not open. However, after the troubles in Yharnam Town, Fang Zheng already understood why it was locked. Just as he was about to knock on the door and call for help, suddenly, a dull sound came from above their heads, as if someone was attacked, and then there was a "bang!" collision sound.
What's going on?
Hearing the voice from above, the three of them were stunned. Just when Fang Zheng was about to break into the room, suddenly, a voice sounded from the other side of the door.
"Oh, hello... Hunter, that's great, please do me a favor..."
"Who are you?"
Hearing the voice coming from the door, Fang Zheng frowned and asked, and the voice from the door paused for a moment before continuing.
"I am Doctor Josephka, Hunter. I see two survivors behind you. They can come in. According to my Hippocratic Oath, as long as they are still human, I will take care of them and even treat them..."
"this……"
After hearing the doctor's answer, Fang Zheng hesitated slightly, and at the same time, the female voice sounded again.
"This disease, these monsters, they are not worth being afraid of. This night is very long, I may be stuck here, but I have to do something. Come on, survivors, come in and rest, you must be very tired..."
"You're lying!"
However, before the doctor could finish her words, the little girl suddenly interrupted her loudly.
"You're not Dr. Josephka at all. I know her and she doesn't sound like that!"
"What?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng was suddenly startled, and at the same time, the voice behind the door also trembled instantly.
"Oh, sorry, my dear, I just have a hoarse voice because I have been overworked recently..."
"Then tell me my name!"
But Cecilia held Mrs. Sophie's hand tightly and stared at the door in front of her.
"If you were Dr. Joseph Ka, you would know my name!"
"this……"
If Fang Zheng still couldn't tell there was something fishy going on, then he was really mentally retarded. So he kicked the door of the clinic without hesitation. With a "bang", the door was instantly kicked open by Fang Zheng. Then, a woman in a white doctor's uniform and with a panicked look on her face appeared in front of Fang Zheng!
