"…"
Looking at the window in front of him, Fangzheng pondered for a moment. Then, he stepped forward and gently knocked on the window. Soon, the little girl's expectant voice sounded again.
"Hello, Mr. Hunter. Still can't find my mother?"
"… No, this …"
Hearing the little girl's expectant voice, Fangzheng couldn't help but hesitate. He turned around and looked at the old man behind him. Then, he sighed.
"Sorry … I haven't found her yet …"
"Sigh …"
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, the little girl's voice was obviously disappointed. But even so, she tried her best to pull herself together and answered.
"Alright, Mr. Hunter. I will 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 it were up to me, I think they would rather you be safe and sound."
Fangzheng shook his head and said softly.
"Little one, it's dangerous here. I'm going to bring the others to Orton's small church. It's relatively safer there and you're not alone. Believe me, they don't want to see you in danger. If not, they wouldn't have left you alone at home, right? Why don't you come with me? It's dangerous to be alone on the streets. I can bring you to the church … "
"Okay …"
Hearing Fangzheng's words, the little girl's voice became much more cheerful.
"Okay, I'll go! Thank you, Mr. Hunter. Please wait, I'll be right there! "
After a few moments, Fangzheng saw the lights by the window extinguished. Then, the originally locked door slowly opened. A little girl with long blonde hair and a white ribbon peeked out. After seeing Fangzheng and the old man beside him, the little girl revealed a happy smile and hurriedly trotted to them.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Hunter … Ah, Miss Sophie!"
Seeing the old man standing behind Fangzheng, the little girl seemed to finally relax a lot. Perhaps it was because she saw someone she knew, but the little girl didn't seem as nervous and scared as before. She hurried to the old woman's side and looked at her happily.
"Are you going to the chapel too?"
"Yes, my child."
Looking at the little girl, Sophie revealed a loving smile. She reached out and stroked Cecilia's hair.
"Come with me, Cecilia," he said.
"Alright!"
"Then, let's go."
Fangzheng heaved a sigh of relief when he saw how happy the little girl was. It seemed that bringing the 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 need to worry about this anymore.
Fangzheng didn't intend to bring them back to the chapel from the original path. First of all, there were ladders everywhere, which wasn't suitable for old people and children to climb. Second of all, if they were to take that path, they would have to go through a long sewer. There could be hidden monsters everywhere, and if they weren't careful, they could easily be ambushed by the monsters above. Therefore, after much consideration, Fangzheng decided to bring them back to the original path and then take the elevator from the other side of the bridge to the chapel.
Although the path was a bit long, it was safe. And … this world didn't seem to have a time limit. At least for now, Fangzheng didn't think that the way time passed in this world was the same as the normal world.
Of course, the speed of an old man and a child couldn't be fast, but Fangzheng wasn't in a hurry. He held two swords and walked in front of them while vigilantly looking around. Originally, there were a lot of crazy villagers here, but Fangzheng had already considered this problem, so he cleaned them up in advance. Looking at the corpses on both sides of the road, it was obvious that these villagers hadn't 'respawned' yet.
"So pitiful … they've gone crazy …"
Looking at the corpses on both sides of the road, Cecilia whispered. Sophie held her hand.
"Don't worry, child. Everything will be fine. The night of the hunt will pass, and dawn will come … "
"How long will it take for the night of the hunt to pass?"
Fangzheng asked without turning his head. He could see that this' night of the hunt 'wasn't referring to a certain night. If he were to calculate the time, it would be about 20 hours since Fangzheng woke up in this world. Unless the calculation of time in this world was different from Fangzheng's world, this' night of the hunt 'should have passed by a long time ago. But now, it seemed that the situation was more complicated than what Fangzheng thought.
"I don't know, but … the night will pass by eventually."
Madam Sophie gave Fangzheng an ambiguous answer. Clearly, she didn't have a clue about this either. Hearing Sophie's answer, Fangzheng didn't say much. Perhaps civilians like Sophie and Cecilia wouldn't know too much. If he wanted to get more clues about the night of the hunt, perhaps he would need to find someone who was related to the hunt and had a clear mind.
Yes, the latter condition was rather important.
Recalling the crazy Father Gascoigne, Fangzheng silently ticked a box in his heart. He didn't want to be attacked for no reason again.
At this moment, Cecilia's voice sounded in Fangzheng's ears.
"Ms. Sophie, Mr. Hunter, there's a strange person over there."
"Hmm?"
Hearing Cecilia's voice, Fangzheng lifted his head and looked in the direction of her finger. At the entrance at the bottom of the ramp, a figure wrapped in a black raincoat passed by like a ghost and headed to the other side.
"Another outsider …"
Ms. Sophie didn't seem to be surprised by this. She snorted and shook her head, not saying anything. Cecilia, on the other hand, was sucking on her finger as she spoke softly.
"That, that person doesn't look like a good person … Mr. Hunter, should we go and take a look? The place he went to seems to be Dr. Yousefka's clinic … "
"Clinic?"
Hearing Cecilia's suggestion, Fangzheng pondered for a moment. Then, he remembered that if he wasn't wrong, that should be the place where he first woke up … Yes, that place does look like a clinic.
But, is there anyone there?
Fangzheng didn't return after he left. He went to the second floor before, but the door was locked, so Fangzheng instinctively thought that there was no one there. If there's someone there …
A doctor should know more about these things than ordinary people.
"Let's go and take a look."
Considering that it was on the way, Fangzheng certainly wouldn't let go of this opportunity. He led the two of them out of the door and then went to the clinic next door.
In Fangzheng's eyes, the entire clinic didn't seem to have changed at all. To Fangzheng's surprise, the werewolf he killed when he first arrived here didn't 'respawn'. Instead, it was still lying there as a corpse. In order to prevent it from playing dead, Fangzheng even pulled out his sword and stabbed it. However, the werewolf didn't react at all. Apparently, it was completely dead.
The door leading to the second floor was still locked and didn't open. But after experiencing the troubles in Yanan Town, Fangzheng finally understood why this place was locked. Just as he was about to knock on the door and call for help, a dull thud came from above their heads, as though someone had been attacked, followed by the sound of a collision.
What's going on?
Hearing the sound from above, the three of them were stunned. Just as Fangzheng was about to break in, 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?"
Upon hearing the voice coming from behind the door, Fangzheng frowned and asked. The voice behind the door paused for a moment before continuing.
"I'm Dr. Joseph Ka, Hunter. I see two survivors behind you. They can come in. According to my Hippocratic Oath, as long as they are human, I will take care of them and even treat them … "
"This …"
Hearing the doctor's answer, Fangzheng hesitated for a moment. At the same time, the woman's voice sounded again.
"This disease, these monsters, they're not worth being afraid of. This night is long, I may be trapped here, but I have to do something. Come on, survivors, come in and rest. You must be tired … "
"You're lying!"
However, before the doctor could finish his words, the little girl suddenly interrupted him loudly.
"You're not Dr. Joseph Ka, I know her, her voice is not like this!"
"What?"
Hearing this, Fangzheng was shocked. At the same time, the voice behind the door trembled for a moment.
"Oh, I'm sorry, my lovely baby. It's just that I've been working too much recently, so my voice is a little hoarse …"
"Then, tell me my name!"
But Cecilia held Madame Sophie's hand tightly and stared at the door in front of her.
"If you're Dr. Joseph Ka, you should know my name!"
"This …"
