The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven
Chapter 512 Behind Him
Chapter 512 Behind Him (XV)
There's big news in the town of survivors.
That is, the position of the old mayor was passed on to his wife after his death.
At first, everyone found it incredible.
After all, everyone knows what kind of old lady Susan is. Although I heard that she has regained her sanity, I still feel that she is not reliable.
However, the Lord Servant of God said that Old Susan recovered thanks to God's protection and even gained extremely powerful abilities.
When the people in the town saw that old lady Susan seemed to have recovered as normal and was even more clever than before, and was able to raise her hand to rescue the person trapped under the inexplicably collapsed house, they had to believe in the power of God.
"It is indeed God. He is caring for us. It looks like He will soon lead us out of the cold night."
"God, please, let us live..."
They were now in the market-place, a rare place for them to gather apart from the church.
Humans are still social animals, and even if the cold night blocks most of the communication, they will still find ways to create opportunities for themselves.
A group of people were at the entrance of the market, chatting while purchasing supplies.
"But don't you think more and more people are dying recently?"
"I don't think there are that many deaths, but more and more people are missing!"
"I suspect the church...can no longer protect against spooky creatures."
"Yes, because of this, I even installed the evil-repelling mirror. I think it is really useful."
"That's right. Almost all my neighbors have installed it. It's strange, since they installed it, no one has died in their homes."
"It sounds like I want to install one too!"
"We're looking for that Ms. Huo. She's over there in the woods."
"But I still find it very strange..." Someone said hesitantly, "I think that even though no one is dying, many strange things are still happening..."
At this time, a woman stood up and said with disdain: "You'd better stop talking nonsense. Only those who are not pious enough will be killed by strange creatures."
"The Lord God Servant also said that this is because they have sinned. God has withdrawn his protection and is cleaning out the believers who are not pure enough."
"So even if you install that evil-repelling mirror, it's useless. You still have to keep your heart pure and be absolutely pious."
After hearing this, everyone said that they still had to install an evil-repelling mirror.
Who can guarantee that they are pious enough?
"Is that evil-repelling mirror you're talking about really useful?" A weak, duck-voiced voice sounded nearby.
Everyone looked and saw that it was Andy, the youngest son of the Anderson family.
"I think it's useful. At least fewer people die in my family." Someone said directly, "What's wrong? Do you feel the need too?"
"Yeah... I feel like more and more strange things are happening..." Andy nodded, looking very uneasy, and whispered, "I feel like there's something else at home. Sometimes my books are clearly in the cabinet, but suddenly they all fall out..."
"And my parents are still sleeping. They have been sleeping for a whole day and night. I have no choice but to go out and buy food by myself."
The more he spoke, the more flustered he looked, and he looked terrible. His hair hadn't been cleaned in who knows how long, and it was stuck in wisps to his freckled face.
"It's normal to be sleepy in winter. You're just too dependent on your parents."
"Maybe you have sins!" another person said, "My wife had the same crazy thoughts before, but I sent her to the church for purification, and now she is fine."
"Come to think of it, isn't your sister a priest? Why don't you go to her for purification?" Someone even suggested to Andy.
Unexpectedly, when Andy heard the word "sister", he immediately reacted as if he had been electrocuted. He shook his head violently, his eyes filled with fear and panic.
His reaction made everyone more suspicious, and they unanimously decided to send him to the church.
Kuang Bowen watched from afar, seeing a large group of strange-looking people twisting together, and then pushing someone who looked completely deformed out of the market. He slowly retracted his gaze and looked at the two-headed man in front of him.
"Did you pick these things up from outside?" The man's head asked doubtfully, "I heard that the exploration team hasn't returned recently."
"I naturally have channels to collect them from outside the town. Although they are not from the exploration team, the stuff is genuine, isn't it?" Kuang Bowen said calmly.
The other woman nodded and said, "It is indeed a good thing. I thought that you, Bowen, would not dare to go out. I don't know who is so powerful to find so many good things."
They picked up a dirty rubber doll from the stall. The doll was wearing a blue dress and had golden hair in a knot. With a slight twist, it could be transformed into a big truck.
"Look at this truck doll. It was my favorite toy when I was a kid. I didn't expect to see it again. How about buying one for my daughter?"
The man pushed it away with his other hand: "You can't eat or wear this thing, why buy it? It's a waste of money!"
As a result, a burst of crying was heard from them, and they quickly opened their clothes, revealing a head hidden in their chest.
It was a little girl, crying and making a fuss for the doll. In desperation, they bought it and stuffed the truck doll into her clothes, and the crying finally stopped.
The two heads breathed a sigh of relief and zipped up their clothes.
Then he picked up a few things from the stall that were rare in the town before leaving.
"Master Jin is really amazing. He was able to find so many good things and made us a lot of money." Kuang Bowen suddenly said.
I don't know who he is talking to.
At this moment, a muffled sound came from under the stall, and a head popped out from the pile of rubbish on the stall, saying with regret: "Unfortunately, there is a limit."
Kuang Bowen knew that what Professor Jin was talking about was that there was a limit to what could be found, so he could only smile bitterly: "That's right, we have to find a solution quickly."
As he was speaking, he saw a father and daughter walking into the market.
Professor Jin immediately hid his head.
Kuang Bowen then waved enthusiastically: "Mr. Ling...Mr. Lindel, are you here to buy anything today?"
Frank Lindell nodded, looking nervous, and came over to look around his stall, his eyes lighting up.
He picked up a worn-out compass, examined it, and found it was still in working order, so he asked, "How much is this?"
He picked up a multi-purpose knife and opened it to see that it did have many useful gadgets with different functions. He asked again, "What about this one?"
"30 for a compass, 170 for a multi-purpose knife."
"It's so expensive!" Frank frowned. "Since we are neighbors, can you make it cheaper?"
Kuang Bowen glanced at Ling Yuke who was rolling her eyes beside him and hesitated.
Taking advantage of this hesitation, Frank successfully bought the knife for 170 yuan and gave it a compass.
"Mr. Lindel, are you ready to go out for an adventure?" Kuang Bowen suddenly asked.
Frank smiled and said casually, "Just curious."
Then he left with his daughter.
"The reason is so bad..." Professor Jin's voice came faintly from under the stall.
"It's a pity that when he really leaves, he will know..." Kuang Bowen whispered to himself.
……
"Remember, don't tell anyone we are leaving!" Frank whispered a warning to his daughter Claire as he walked, with obvious nervousness in his tone.
"But the things we bought...it looks like we're going to run away!" Ling Yuke said bluntly.
"You can't admit it! You can't admit it!"
Frank spoke in a more serious tone and looked around, his heart beating like a drum, as if he was afraid that the increasingly strange townspeople around him would hear something.
He lowered his head and walked hurriedly, trying his best to avoid looking at the residents passing by on the street.
When we walked a little further away, there was no one on the street. We only saw faces pressed against the windows of the houses on both sides, as if they were trying hard to squeeze out of the glass and get in front of them.
Fortunately, they were almost at the door of their home. Frank took out his keys, his hands trembling slightly, and looked around, as if he was worried that something would follow him.
"We must leave here." Frank said to his daughter again firmly, "and take your mother with us."
Ling Yuke's expression suddenly became complicated, and she seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
The key was inserted into the keyhole, and with a click, the door opened.
The warmth of the house hit me, and the aroma of meat cooking filled the air.
On the dining table, a plate of steaming barbecue was emitting an enticing burnt aroma.
A woman came out of the kitchen with another plate of food in her hands and a smile on her face.
"Frank, Claire, you're back!"
Frank walked over very naturally, kissed the woman on the face, and said, "Honey, I'm back and I bought some things."
He paused and added in a low voice: "We will be able to leave here soon."
"That's great!" The woman smiled happily, turned to Ling Yuke who had been standing at the door and said, "Silly child, why are you still standing there? Go wash your hands!"
Ling Yuke looked at "Frank" hugging the woman covered with corpse spots, and again hesitated to say something, then turned around and went to wash her hands.
