The huge white monster stood in the middle of the road. The rain could not reach it, and its belly was bulging out like a pregnant woman in her tenth month.
One of its hands was gently stroking its belly, and it was unclear whether it was comforting the 'fetus' or lamenting that it was too full. In any case, its body slowly turned over. Qiongzhi took advantage of the gap in reading the diary to observe it with her peripheral vision, and it started to move again.
Ni Jie scrambled into the car, the sound of the door opening and closing drowned out by the heavy rain, and the car seat was completely soaked. Without a word, Renault started the car, swerving around the center of the road and heading towards the distant school.
Inside the car, Qiongzhi stretched her neck and observed the huge vehicle through the rearview mirror with her peripheral vision.
It didn't catch up, but the slit of its eye met Qiongzhi's gaze, and it slowly gave him a familiar smile, as if expecting something with ill intentions.
Qiongzhi trembled, sat up straight again, crossed her hands and rubbed her arms vigorously, and then she felt her whole body warm up a little.
His hair was completely wet, with water dripping down and sticking tightly to his skin, so that the natural curls were no longer visible. Fortunately, his clothes were also soaked, and the water droplets dripping from his hair could not make it any wetter.
The school in the town is actually not very big, but it is the largest building in this town. The library in the school is naturally larger than the previous one and is also quite tidy, but the drive here is much farther than to that library.
Fortunately, they had Childe to show them the way.
There used to be many children going to school in the town, so the school was built big, but now there are not many students. Only children like Qiongzhi who cannot join the army and go to the battlefield study in school.
And normally, when they grow up, they won't continue to study, after all, the environment outside has changed. So the school that Qiongzhi and the others saw at this time seemed a bit depressed.
The flower beds were overgrown with weeds, some of which had already grown outside the boundaries. The bricks and tiles on the road were some of them warped and some were broken, and it was obvious that they had not been repaired for a long time.
The doors and windows of the classrooms were closed. The library was a separate small room right next to the teaching building. Because it was a public place, it was not locked.
"There's a catalog you can check." Childe went to the small front desk and got a catalog of the book collection. The books were all classified, so although there were more books than before, it wouldn't be difficult to find them.
What’s important is that the books written by the small town people themselves, although still without titles here, have a separate category and bookshelf to put them together.
Qiongzhi focused her attention on the town's self-compiled book section and discovered that in addition to the books, the school library also had a collection of old newspapers previously published by the town.
According to the numbers on the catalog, they found the books that specifically recorded the history of the town, but they were divided into several types, recording celebrities, who funded what, or who made great contributions to the construction of the town.
There is also the evolution of the town’s customs and culture, including habits, natural scenery, unique songs and dances... In short, such a small town unexpectedly has many things that can be included in the book.
【The production team also took great pains. 】
[It's so detailed, it's not just a shell book.]
【Nightmare Game Production Team is awesome! 】
"Is this it?" Renault found a book with a yellow-brown cover among all the books. It contained nursery rhymes, stories, and legends from the small town...
Qiongzhi opened the book. The records in this book were not simply copying those things in, but on this basis, the origins of these stories and legends were recorded in great detail.
They flipped through the pages and finally came across a story called "The Red House in the Cornfield."
Hidden in the cornfields of a small town is a house with a red roof, so everyone calls it the Red House. In the Red House lives a beautiful, wealthy, and very kind woman. She even gave some of her wealth to help build the town.
But beauty and wealth also brought her troubles.
First of all, there are those so-called suitors, whose purpose is nothing more than beauty and money, but they block the woman's door every day in the name of love. The woman has rejected these people's pursuit countless times, and because of them, she goes out less and less.
Some of these suitors were even married men, so the woman was branded with a bad reputation and now she had to stay indoors completely.
But those evil-minded pursuers did not give up. They took advantage of the night to pry open the door of the red house and sneak into the woman's home.
However, they didn't expect that the layout of the woman's house was very strange. Not only did they fail to succeed, they were also driven out by the angry woman and her "pet".
It turned out that the woman was a witch. She had existed here earlier than these people. The cornfield outside also belonged to her, but she was generous enough and didn't mind these people picking her corn.
After knowing the identity of the woman, the people in the town began to feel scared. They were afraid of the woman's strange "pets" and terrifying spells. They might be killed by the angry woman!
Those people began to regret their actions and words, but soon fear gave rise to another dark thought: if the witch died, wouldn't they no longer have to worry?
The woman was very powerful, but she was outnumbered and was eventually caught.
She was tied to a wooden frame used to support the scarecrow, and people set her on fire and burned her to death, burning up the cornfield. Everyone thought that the matter was over, the evil witch was gone, and their lives would be peaceful.
