The angel on the mural ran out?
This thought flashed through Chester's mind.
Immediately after, he shook his head with a smile and discarded this outrageous idea from his mind.
It was not like he was writing the "SCP Gene Association". How could such an outrageous thing happen? It was probably just a coincidence that he remembered wrongly.
Although he comforted himself in his heart, Chester still kept an eye out. He took out his mobile phone and took a photo of the mural in front of him. Then, he hurried back in the direction he came from.
At this time, the sun outside the window was almost completely gone, leaving only a little afterglow that stubbornly remained in the sky. Moreover, it was fading toward the mountain at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was as if the sky had shed its white gauze, leaving only solidified indigo all over the sky.
When Chester walked past the angel covering his eyes, he deliberately took a few glances, but no matter how hard he looked, he could only see a statue carved out of marble in front of him.
Although it was lifelike, there was absolutely no abnormality!
Seeing this, Chester breathed a sigh of relief and was completely relieved.
He composed himself and walked in front of the statue. Then, he passed through the fork formed by the pile of goods and walked to the main road of the warehouse.
However, what he did not know was that during his short delay, the last ray of sunset outside the window had finally faded...
In an instant, the whole world seemed to have fallen into complete darkness. Chester had to turn on the front camera of his mobile phone again and shone it on the somewhat messy warehouse floor. He walked out one step at a time.
Thud, thud, thud...
The sound of footsteps under him was still coming at an unhurried pace. In this enclosed darkness, it exuded an inexplicable eeriness.
Just as Chester was about to walk out of the warehouse, there was a sudden "gurgle" sound somewhere behind him, as if something round had fallen to the ground and rolled slightly on the ground.
Then, the sound disappeared again.
The moment he heard this sound, Chester stopped in his tracks. He slowly turned his head, but he could only see the darkness in the direction he came from. He could not see anything clearly.
Perhaps, some junk had just loosened and fell to the ground?
Chester shook his head, then turned his head again and walked toward the warehouse door.
Dong, clang!
However, just as he took a step forward, the sound of an item falling to the ground came from behind him again. Not only that, but the sound was much louder than before, and it even caused echoes in the warehouse!
Chester's heart tightened. He quickly turned around and at the same time, raised the phone in his hand and shone it into the corridor behind him. However, he found that the light from the phone did not penetrate and could only illuminate a distance of four or five meters in front of him.
Beyond this distance, all he could see was darkness.
"…"
Chester pursed his lips, his heart thumping wildly. He vaguely felt that the voice seemed to be closer than before.
Could it be that someone was following him?
The murderer who killed Leon was still hiding in the warehouse?
This thought flashed through his mind, and then Chester only felt a chill in his heart. He no longer hesitated and immediately strode out of the warehouse!
However, as he ran, he no longer heard any more sounds. All he could hear were his own footsteps and breathing. These sounds were amplified by the warehouse and covered up all movement.
The more one ran, the more flustered one would be. This was human instinct. However, he did not know whether it was the blessing of an angel or he was scaring himself. In short, when Chester ran out of the warehouse completely, nothing happened.
"Huff, huff, huff..."
Chester, who lacked exercise all year round, panted heavily. He stood outside the warehouse and looked at the dark door of the warehouse in shock. He simply gritted his teeth and turned on the lights of the warehouse at the door.
Suddenly, dozens of sun lamps in the entire warehouse No. 9 lit up one after another, illuminating the warehouse brightly and brightly!
When he saw the empty corridor in the warehouse, Chester's heart suddenly relaxed.
It was only then that he was sure that there was nothing at all in the warehouse except for a large pile of goods and the main road that could be seen at a glance.
There was no so-called "killer", and there was no monster that he imagined as a child.
All of this was just him scaring himself...
Seeing this, Chester was completely relieved. He smiled and shook his head, then turned off the lights of the warehouse again. Then, he stepped over the divider in front of the door and prepared to get in his car and leave.
However, it was not until he walked to his pickup truck that he remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to lock the door. If the foreman saw him entering warehouse No. 9 without permission tomorrow, he did not know how badly he would scold him.
Thinking of this, Chester turned around speechlessly and prepared to lock the door of the warehouse again before leaving.
However, when Chester turned around, he completely stopped in his tracks.
This was because in front of the divider outside the warehouse door, there was a statue at some point. It was an angel statue with its hands folded in front of its chest and a pair of slightly stretched wings on its back.
This statue was almost identical to the statue in the warehouse, but this statue had its back to the door and happened to be facing sideways to Chester. It was as if it had just walked out of the warehouse. Coupled with a pair of slightly opened wings, it looked very lifelike.
Seeing this strange scene, Chester was a little surprised. He slowly approached the statue and tried to touch the arms and wings of the statue.
It was hard and very cold, without any mechanism.
At this moment, Chester suddenly had some doubts. Was this statue standing here when he entered, or did someone move it here after he entered warehouse No. 9?
Also, why did he not notice it when he came out?
Chester was completely dumbfounded. He also wondered if this statue was the one he had seen in the warehouse before, but when he touched it thoroughly, he was certain that it was definitely not the one he had seen before because he did not find any movable mechanism on the statue.
Could it be that the angel had manifested itself?
Chester scratched his head, but for the sake of his job, he still stared at the statue while crossing the divider and fumbling to lock the door of the warehouse.
Even after he completely closed the door, the statue still did not move at all. Gradually, Chester was relieved. At this time, thinking about it carefully, it was very likely that this angel statue was a pair with the one in the warehouse itself. It was just that the police moved it out for some reason, and it was precisely because he wanted to go in and investigate that he ignored the statue at the door.
Thinking about it this way, everything could be explained.
Thinking of this, Chester shook his head, withdrew his gaze completely, and walked toward the car. However, he had only taken a few steps when he suddenly heard a "snap" behind him.
Chester turned his head subconsciously, only to see that one of the warning belts had broken for some reason!
However, this was still secondary. Then, Chester felt that something was wrong because he noticed that the statue behind him seemed to have moved a few steps, and at the same time, the other party's movements were a little different from before.
Was there something wrong with his eyes?
Chester rubbed his eyes in disbelief, but when he put his hand down again, he only felt a chill all over his body. The angel statue had completely changed its angle in the two seconds he rubbed his eyes!
If the angel statue was facing him sideways before, then at this time, the angel statue had completely become facing him head-on!
"Wodeh?"
Chester sucked in a breath of cold air. He stepped back step by step until he was in front of his car. Only then did he calm down a little. He hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised his hand again and covered his eyes.
This time, Chester only covered his eyes and quickly withdrew it. Even so, it still made all the hair on his body stand on end!
This was because he saw that in the short second that he covered his eyes, the angel statue was already less than two or three meters away from him. Moreover, it no longer had the peaceful expression from before. Instead, it opened its mouth wide, revealing a ferocious expression. At the same time, it made a forward posture as if it would pounce in front of Chester in the next second!
There was definitely something wrong with this statue!
Chester only felt a chill rising up his spine. He no longer hesitated and jumped into the car directly. Then, he started the car without thinking about it. While staring at the statue, he quickly drove down the road!
It was not until the figure of the statue was no longer in the rearview mirror that Chester heaved a heavy sigh of relief. The car sped forward at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour. At the same time, he looked behind him with lingering fear, only to see that the road he came from was already dark. Only a few faint lights flickered, indicating that there were still workers working nearby.
"What the hell is that damn thing?"
Chester muttered in a low voice. He quickly turned his head, but the moment he turned around, he suddenly saw that the statue was standing in the middle of the road. The distance between the two was less than ten meters!
As if it was a conditioned reflex, Chester hurriedly turned the steering wheel. Suddenly, the pickup under him completely lost control and crashed into the wall of the warehouse next to him!
Boom!
A deafening crash came and Chester hit the steering wheel in front of him heavily. He only had time to sigh in his heart, "It's over." Then, he completely lost consciousness...
...
The next morning, Rowling Kate yawned and sat up in bed.
She first shook her dizzy head, then went to the bathroom to get a glass of water and gulped it down according to her usual habit. Then, she turned on the TV and went to the bathroom to wash up while listening to the morning news on TV.
"This is ABC News' Good Morning North America. I'm Marilyn. This morning, the new President of North America, Ms. Ivanka, will fly to the North Sea Continent for a visit...
"Vice President Trump tweeted today that the This Man effect that once happened is actually a kind of group hypnosis. He said that, as he predicted, This Man has miraculously disappeared. Everything in North America is beautiful. Even if This Man really exists, it should be from the Mainland..."
After washing up a little, Kate walked out of the bathroom with a towel while wiping her face. However, at this moment, she suddenly saw a new piece of news on the TV.
"Urgent news. Just this morning, a number of vicious homicides were found in the suburbs of Los Angeles. The cases are all located in the Herrank Warehouse District in the suburbs of Los Angeles. At present, the police have found eight bodies in the Herrank Warehouse District..."
Immediately, the TV screen switched and showed a shot of the scene. A beautiful blonde presenter was standing in front of a row of warehouses, stating with a serious face, "Just this morning, the Los Angeles police suddenly received a homicide report. The person who reported it was Mr. Connor, the manager of the Herrank Warehouse District. He claimed that someone had committed multiple crimes in the warehouse district, and then the police went to investigate."
Following the presenter's narration, the cameraman also moved the picture away from the presenter and focused on the busy figures of dozens of police officers behind the presenter, as well as a large area of isolation tape.
"At present, eight bodies have been found, and each body died in the same way, that is, their necks were twisted, and the angles of twisting exceeded 360 degrees. It was very cruel..."
After this statement, the cameraman continued to zoom in. Kate immediately saw that in a yellow isolation tape, there was a small truck that had crashed into the wall. The front of the truck had been dented, and in the car, a body with a severely dislocated head could be seen.
"At present, the police are fully investigating..."
After reading this news, Kate shook his head and did not take it to heart. After all, this was Kansas City, not Los Angeles. The distance between the two was 2,600 kilometers. Even a plane would take two hours to fly there, not to mention the fear of murderers from there.
But on second thought, Kate observed a moment of silence. If he remembered correctly, the headquarters of the company he worked for was in Los Angeles. He could only hope that his colleagues there could pray for themselves.
Thinking of this, Kate had already finished washing up. He turned off the TV, then put on his coat, turned around, and went out.
Although it was already a rest day, Kate did not complain because he had to work overtime. In his company's pharmaceutical laboratory, there was a very important experimental project that was about to be conquered, and it was almost at the last step.
It was an experimental project that was enough to shock the world. Once it was conquered by their experimental team, next year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine might be his team's...
At that time, everyone would be able to make a name for themselves, and their future prospects and money would come rolling in. At the same time, their own experimental team would be promoted to the ranks of world-famous biologists, and even occupy a place in the history books a hundred years later.
Thinking of this, Kate was already full of motivation. He stepped on the accelerator, and his car made a "hum" sound as it drove forward along the road...
