Chapter 220 Isn’t it right behind you?
"What happened to him?"
Charles retracted his gaze and asked Lin Jiu in a low voice.
Lin Jiu shook his head: "I don't know, but he seems to know the man in the painting."
Hearing this, Charles subconsciously looked at the imitation painting.
Frowning slightly.
"You say, could it be...?"
Charles was hesitant and didn't say it directly, but Lin Jiu understood what he wanted to say.
“Anything is possible here,” he said.
.......
at the same time.
Todd in the room was tossing and turning in bed.
He frowned slightly, placed the back of his hand lightly on his slightly hot forehead, and his breathing became a little rapid.
Todd stared at the ceiling, his eyes narrowed slightly.
There's no mistake, he will never forget that face...
Although the faces of everyone in the painting became blurry when he recalled it, the face in Todd's memory was extremely clear.
Looks like, so much like...
It's not just similar, it's exactly the same.
Todd sat up suddenly, his messy thoughts making him feel slightly uncomfortable.
He was once again forced to recall what happened on that Blessing Festival night fifteen years ago.
The Blessing Festival is a very important festival in the weird world. On this day, weird people will pray for a safe future for themselves and their friends and family, or pray for the weird world itself.
In Todd's hometown, there is a custom of "going to sleep with blessings".
Therefore, Todd went to bed early that day.
When he was awakened by a strange noise outside the room, he followed the sound to his parents' room. When he opened the door, he saw two bodies that were gradually losing their temperature and the figure standing in front of the window.
There's no mistake about that face...
The murderer who killed his parents had the same face as the man in the painting!
Thinking of this, Todd felt his head hurt even more.
Whenever he recalled the tragedy that happened that year, he would get a severe headache.
Todd lay back down and relaxed for a moment.
He opened his eyes, thinking about his next move.
If Essen Smith is that man....
Todd slowly closed his eyes and fell into deep thought again.
.......
The perspective returns to the living room.
Lin Jiu left the living room for a while.
When he came back, he returned the washed handkerchief to Charles.
At that time, Lin Jiu wiped his hands with the handkerchief and put it away casually, but he did not forget to return it.
The living room is very quiet.
Everyone was sitting or resting against the wall.
Lin Jiu was the only one who was moving around, seemingly simply unable to sit still.
More than ten minutes passed like this. Hicks looked around and suggested, "Let's patrol again?"
There was still some time until four in the morning, and they couldn't just sit there and wait.
Lin Jiu was thinking the same thing, so the two groups selected two more people to patrol the third floor.
This time it was Charles and Eugene.
Reginald and the newcomer sat in the living room, continuing to guard the painting.
Charles and Eugene were extremely silent together.
Eugene is a quiet person, and Charles is not a talkative person either. When the two of them act together, they will only speak when there is something important.
As expected, the live broadcast room of the two was so quiet that the audience couldn't help but remain silent.
However, as an old player, the popularity of the live broadcast room is still quite high.
Charles and Eugene reached the third floor and stopped at the same time.
They glanced at each other, and the audience in the live broadcast room didn't know what they exchanged glances, but they heard Charles ask, "Go and have a look?"
Eugene nodded in response: "Let's go and see."
Audience in the live broadcast room: ???
I'm begging for a tutorial on cracking encrypted conversations.
Charles and Eugene's target was the Smiths' bedroom, but when they got close, they saw Anna standing at the door of the room holding a teddy bear.
The two of them stopped at the same time.
After another brief three seconds of eye contact, Charles and Eugene walked over.
"It's so late, aren't you going to bed?" Charles walked forward, smiled slightly, and asked softly.
Anna held the doll and looked up at the two of them without saying a word.
Charles was a little confused: "Anna?"
"Because it kept asking me to play with it." Anna said, "I wanted to sleep, but it kept pestering me, so I came to accompany it, but it said it wanted to find more playmates."
Hearing this, Charles and Eugene were stunned.
They did not take this as childish nonsense.
This is a weird world.
"Who is it?" Eugene asked.
Anna shook her head: "I don't know."
Hearing this, Charles and Eugene frowned slightly.
Anna didn't seem to care about why a "stranger" appeared in the house. Instead, she asked the two: "That's strange, didn't it call you up?"
Charles and Eugene were even more puzzled.
"No, it didn't call us up." Charles shook his head.
Eugene asked, "Did it say it was going to find us on the first floor?"
Unexpectedly, Anna tilted her head and said in confusion: "It's right behind you, didn't you come up together?"
The childish voice that only belongs to a child now reveals a strong sense of weirdness.
In an instant, Charles and Eugene felt a chill run down their heads.
They both turned their heads and looked behind them.
Nothing.
Charles and Eugene both tensed up. They turned around to ask Anna what was going on, but unexpectedly, they saw Joel.
A strange and creepy atmosphere permeated the third floor.
Charles and Eugene even subconsciously held their breath.
Looking at the two people who were a little stiff, Joel chuckled.
The rules mentioned that Joel liked to play, and Eugene couldn't help but wonder if these two children were playing a prank on them.
"You guys are so stupid." Joel said after laughing.
Charles and Eugene said nothing.
Joel curled his lips as if he found it boring.
He said, "It's so boring. I don't want to play with you anymore," and ran past Eugene.
After a while, the sound of a door closing was heard from the direction of Joel's room.
Even so, Charles and Eugene did not dare to relax.
"I'm sorry, brother." Anna suddenly appeared again without knowing when.
This really scared Charles and Eugene.
"I'm going to take care of Joel, don't be angry."
"No, we're not angry." Charles shook his head slightly.
They were just scared.
Hearing this, Anna smiled and said, "I'm glad you're not angry. Then you guys can play with it. I'm going to sleep."
After saying this, Anna ran away in the somewhat stiff expressions of Charles and Eugene.
Apparently, she's sleeping with Joel now.
The door slammed again.
Charles and Eugene did not move.
