Chapter 134 Chapter 134

Fanny drew the location of the underground cave on a piece of paper, and even drew a marker to make it easier to find. Then the people who went to look for it, after a heated argument, finally decided to go over with more than 20 people.

Families whose children are missing and those who want to help solve the problem are all strong people, and Anaïs is one of the weaker ones.

According to Fanny, the entrance to the cave was relatively narrow, and considering the possibility of needing to dig a larger hole, everyone brought shovels and some even took weapons.

Anaïs took the simple map that Fanny had drawn in her hand, and a group of people followed her in a mighty procession.

"You don't have to come with us." Anaïs said to Gerard beside her while looking at the map to identify the location.

Gerard: "Of course I'm going. How can I leave you and Sylvia alone?"

Anaïs glanced at Gérard with gratitude in her eyes.

Most of the town residents' vineyards are concentrated in this area. Anaïs led a group of people through two vineyards according to the content drawn on the paper. After seeing the red cloth on the shelf of the third vineyard, they turned right and walked straight along the path. After seeing a large triangular stone, they turned left and entered the small woods.

I had only taken two steps into the woods when I heard someone behind me anxiously say, "This is my child's hairpin! She really came here!"

Anaïs looked back and said, "Yes, I think we are on the right path. Let's keep going."

The man picked up the hairpin and put it in his pocket, then held the shovel tightly in his hand and nodded.

[I was so nervous watching the live broadcast. This place is so eerie. 】

[After entering, the sunlight dimmed. Is this an illusion? ]

[If there is something weird, it is definitely not. ]

Are those children still alive?

【have no idea.】

[Such a serious matter, why didn't the local authorities take care of it? 】

[Wait, this seems to be a grape-producing town in Sri Lanka. I saw on the news that they have noticed this live broadcast and the road to this town has been blocked.]

[Hmm? Lockdown? Isn't it to save people? ]

【They said the road was blocked to prevent travelers from accidentally entering. 】

【Who wants to travel when there are such weird things everywhere?】

【Travel agencies are no longer popular now. 】

[Some also said that they would send rescuers and that they were on their way.]

[Is it too late? ]

[So, if you encounter something strange, don’t even think about rescue. Save yourself first.]

【They found the entrance to the cave.】

Fanny's mark on the paper about the location of the cave was very vague, only writing that there were three trees next to the cave. Anais led a group of people around the woods three times before finally finding the three adjacent trees and the small cave.

The hole was very narrow. Anaïs folded the paper and put it in her trouser pocket, then leaned over to look at the hole and estimate its width.

It should be no problem for her to get in by herself, and Gerard should be able to get in as well, but middle-aged men with a slightly higher body fat percentage and who are older and less agile may just have to watch from the outside.

"I'll go in and take a look first," Anaïs said.

Gerard immediately grabbed her and said, "No, it's too dangerous for you to go in alone. You'd better dig the hole a little wider first." After saying that, he stuck his head and looked inside.

"It's still very spacious inside. As long as we dig the entrance, we can all go down." Gerard emphasized again.

"I understand, get out of the way." A sturdy man came over wielding a shovel and started digging the hole.

He took the lead, and the others with tools immediately followed. They shoveled one after another. The narrow entrance of the cave was very shallow, and it didn't take long for them to dig until two people went in together and there was enough space for them to dig, so everyone stopped.

"I'll go down first." The strong man said this and jumped down first.

The others followed closely behind, leaving Gerard and Anaïs at the end.

As soon as we entered the cave, the person in front of us immediately turned on the flashlight. Although the entrance seemed narrow, it was really wide and deep inside. It was a natural underground cave.

The path was difficult to walk on, and it was a bit steep as it went down. The cave was winding, but there were no forks, so there was no need to worry about getting lost. However, after turning a few corners, the cave became completely dark, and only the flashlights in the hands of the group could provide light.

The road beneath their feet no longer sloped downward, but became flat, and even curved upward. Anais guessed that they might have reached the deepest end of the cave. Of course, it was also possible that the cave would lead to another place, with other exits ahead.

A thumping sound came from the dark cave ahead; it was the sound of someone walking.

The people standing in the front stopped, and the sturdy man held the shovel tightly, with the metal head thrust forward, holding it like a weapon.

The footsteps got closer and closer, and finally, the person who made the sound appeared within the light range. The man in the front waved his flashlight, illuminating the person's face.

The boy's messy chestnut curly hair and two black moles on his face caught everyone's attention.

The moment they saw this man appear here, everyone's memory was unlocked, and even those who were unfamiliar with the boy immediately remembered who he was.

Gabriel, the son of a middle-aged man, always kicks the ball into other people's yards and occasionally does some pranks. He is different from Sylvia, and many people don't like this naughty boy.

But he is not a bad kid by nature.

"Gabriel!" The middle-aged man walked forward, calling his son's name, "Are you okay? My God, your clothes are torn, is your hand injured? How could I forget you, come home with me, I will..."

The middle-aged man began to cry as he spoke. His wife passed away two years ago. He promised his wife that he would take good care of Gabriel, but in the end, he had to encounter this kind of thing.

"Gabriel, have you seen my child?" Someone walked up anxiously and asked, "You should remember him. He often played with you, Gabriel?"

However, the young man in front of him said nothing, and there was no expression on his face. He just stood there blankly, with one hand hanging down and the other hand behind his back.

Even though everyone surrounded him and kept asking questions, he didn't give any response.

This is not right.

Anaïs walked forward and stared at the boy. Suddenly she realized something, her face changed drastically, and she shouted to everyone, "Stay away from him!"

The people who were called out looked confused.

The middle-aged man realized something, but he didn't want to believe it. He said with an ugly expression: "What's wrong? My son, he is standing here fine...he..."

Before the man could finish his words, Gabriel finally moved. His hand, which had been hidden behind his back, suddenly stretched out, grasped something and stabbed it fiercely into the middle-aged man's abdomen.

Even the strong man closest to them was unable to react to this sudden change.

Just as the thing was about to hit the middle-aged man hard, suddenly, a sharp scream was heard, and the miserable wail pierced the eardrums directly, shocking everyone to cover their ears. Gabriel, who was about to attack the middle-aged man, knelt down with his body trembling as if he had been hit hard, unable to move.

[I’m just hasty——]

[My eardrums are about to explode!!!]

【Help--】

【shw23%$#_】

The shrieking was an indiscriminate attack, but the pain felt by the audience behind the screen was somewhat reduced. Anais and others who heard the sound directly at the scene had their heads buzzing with the sound even after the screams stopped, and they probably couldn't hear anything for a while.

Because of their temporary deafness, they could only see with their eyes. Several flashlights that fell on the ground illuminated the ground, and there was a pair of slender feet with webbed toes, dry split fins at the ankles, and light blue feet.

They looked up along the feet, the light blue gradually faded, and the beautiful thighs were covered with dark red lines shaped like flames.

Looking up at the person who came, I saw a beautiful woman who looked like an inhuman, but her expression seemed rather cold.

She didn't even look at these people, but walked straight to Gabriel.

"No, he is my son..." the middle-aged man said in a hoarse voice, "Please..."

The Banshee heard it, she lifted up Gabriel with one hand, and pointed with the other hand at a particularly sharp wooden thorn that Gabriel was holding in his hand.

If she hadn't screamed in time, the young man would have stabbed it into the middle-aged man's abdomen. If a vital organ was injured, no one could have saved him.

No, the medicine in the mall can cure it.

But apart from him, there is really no one who can heal.

The middle-aged man knew it very well. He trembled and said, "That's my son. He... was just controlled."

Anaïs covered her head with her hands and clapped her ears several times, but she could only hear a buzzing sound and no other sounds. She looked at the others and guessed that they were in the same situation as her.

The middle-aged man was talking, but Anaïs only saw him open his mouth and had no idea what he was saying. So she could only walk up to him and write on the ground with her fingers: Gabriel, dead.

The middle-aged man's pupils twitched, and he kept saying no, wanting to scold Anaïs for lying to him. But when he turned around, he saw Anaïs's face full of tears.

He then remembered that Anais's sister and his son disappeared on the same day. If his son was dead, then Anais's sister...

Anaïs' tears fell to the ground and she traced the ground with her fingers: his eyelids did not move and his pupils were dilated.

If these are not enough to prove that the boy is already a corpse, then what about his chest that has never risen or fallen?

Further evidence is that the bruises on the middle-aged man's arm, which he thought were injured, were actually corpse spots.

Gabriel was indeed controlled, but it was not the living Gabriel who was controlled, but the corpse Gabriel.

"Whether you admit it or not... that's the truth." Anaïs fell to the ground and cried, her voice hoarse, "We are late."

The middle-aged man couldn't hear it, but she knew that the other party had understood.

Banshee put Gabriel down, yes, they were late.

The monsters living here have no concept of 'storing captured people as food'; these people were already dead when they were captured.

Fanny's friend Gabry is actually a controlled corpse. Many children make friends without caring whether their friends can speak or behave like normal people. Otherwise, some children would not name their dolls and make friends with them.

Children are all dreamers, their perception of the world is different from that of adults, and their expressions may also be slightly different. Therefore, Fanny's words gave them the illusion that things could still be salvaged.

Really, very sorry.
