Han Dong was a perceptive person.
The [Maniacal Laughter] attribute he obtained from Count increased his perceptive ability to a whole new level.
Cass and Diane didn't sense anything.
Han Dong vaguely felt that he was being spied on by something, as if it was in this convenience store.
"You guys eat first … I'll go to the bathroom."
Han Dong deliberately walked among the shelves and came to the back of the convenience store … The back door opened slightly as if someone had just slipped out from the back door.
Just as Han Dong pushed the door open.
A black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him.
It wasn't a terrifying existence, but an old man dressed as a farmer. He was carrying a scarecrow with difficulty … The scarecrow seemed to have been pecked by crows, so it was brought back for repair.
Now, it was repaired and sent to the corn field.
"Hey, young man! Can you help me? This scarecrow is too heavy. "
"Sure …"
Logically speaking, a scarecrow was made of straw tied to a long wooden stick with tattered clothes. Its purpose was to chase away birds.
Two people were more than enough to carry it, but when Han Dong took it, it felt unusually heavy.
"Your scarecrow is a bit heavy?" Han Dong couldn't help but complain.
"We just added new straw. Besides, with your thin arms and legs, I can tell that you're from the city. It's normal that you're not used to this kind of rough work … But I really have to thank you. Now that I'm old, I can't even carry a scarecrow.
Young man, you're only staying here for a short while, right? After all, many people want to leave Maine as soon as possible. "
"No, we might stay here for a day. My friends and I don't care about the disappearance." Han Dong deliberately pointed at the store, indicating that his friends were still inside.
The old farmer's voice changed slightly and sounded a little low.
"Disappearance? No … I advise you to leave here as soon as possible … What happened here is not as simple as disappearance.
Don't you think the scarecrow is a bit heavy?
Besides, who would bring a scarecrow back from a farm to repair … This isn't an ordinary scarecrow. The one carrying us is my son.
Three months ago, he was infected with 'Rice Straw Disease'. Every day, rice straw would grow out of his pores … Even if he cut it off, more would grow out the next day.
Until a week ago, he completely turned into a scarecrow. "
As soon as he said this.
Han Dong also immediately pretended to have a change in emotions that a normal person would have. His face was filled with fear, and he almost let go.
Suddenly, the old farmer laughed loudly. "Hahaha! Forget it, I won't scare you … How could there be such a strange thing? My son went missing a week ago.
After much consideration, he decided to put his clothes on the scarecrow.
It was good that he could continue to stay in this field, watch over this land, and accompany me.
Young man, quickly leave this place … "
When the old farmer said this, he used his free hand to scratch his cheek forcefully … In a very fast movement, he cut off the straw that had just grown out of the pores on his cheek.
After helping to fix the scarecrow in the empty space in the cornfield, the old farmer signaled Han Dong to stay for a while and asked him to leave on his own.
When Han Dong returned alone, he kept an eye on the situation behind him through the magic eye.
However, what the magic eye saw was the father and son leaning against each other … Both of them were also covered in straw.
"How troublesome … It seems that from the moment we entered the country road, we have officially entered this special farm area.
If we leave now, Miles will lose his target when he reappears. Because the moonlight mark has been removed, it is very likely that he will no longer pursue us.
It wasn't easy to recruit a bodyguard, I don't want to give up so easily.
Let's wait for half a day … When the moon rises, we will immediately set off. "
Scarecrow …
It was one of the most common monsters in foreign horror stories.
However, in this field, there seemed to be an unusual existence … Perhaps it was a hundred times more terrifying than a scarecrow in the conventional sense.
"Don't tell me we have met another resident …"
When Han Dong returned to the convenience store, he happened to run into Cass, who was looking for him.
"Is everything okay?"
"There is a little problem. We will talk about it later. Did the owner help us find a place to stay?"
"I have already contacted an 'uninhabited farmhouse'. It seems that the whole family disappeared … We can just stay there for a day."
"That's fine. An empty room is even better. As soon as the moon rises tonight, we will set off immediately. "
The owner helped them find an empty room, and Han Dong also gave him a small tip.
After passing through the country road that was a few hundred meters long, they arrived in front of a two-story farmhouse with a cornfield. The wooden windmill in the courtyard was still slowly turning.
"This family's luck isn't too good. They have been missing for a week … Since you have come all the way here, I'm sure you won't mind this situation.
Feel free to stay here. If you have any problems, just contact me by phone. "
"Thank you, Boss."
The entire farmhouse was not locked at all, so there was no need for a key.
Han Dong first parked the Mercedes-Benz with a full tank of gas in the front yard. Then, he carefully checked the gas tank to make sure that it was not straw that had been added to the gas tank.
It was a farmhouse with a redwood roof.
The three of them squeezed into the relatively spacious main hall. Han Dong described what he had just seen and heard.
"Scarecrow …" Diana touched her chin with her index finger and then said slowly, "Before I broke my seed, I experienced a fate related to scarecrows called 'Demons and Demons at Work.' It was about scarecrows being possessed by demons lurking in the farm and working with crows to kill people."
"The situation here is a bit different. The problem is not with the 'dead' scarecrows.
Instead, it seems that living people will slowly turn into scarecrows for some reason. "
As he spoke, Han Dong led the two of them to the top of the farmhouse. From a higher vantage point, they looked down at the cornfield around them.
It was very crowded.
Compared to the cornfield that everyone was familiar with, the number of scarecrows here was at least ten times more than the cornfield that they were familiar with.
"The area involved is very wide. It shouldn't be something that can be easily dealt with … When the moonlight falls, we will immediately drive out of this area.
Even if scarecrows appear at night, our bodyguards will be able to kill them all. "
Han Dong still had a lot of trust in Miles.
They had to make full use of every minute and second.
The three of them first conducted a thorough inspection of the farmhouse. Then, they released the crows to perch on the farmhouse and the scarecrows nearby to monitor everything within a 500-meter radius.
They took turns to sleep in the main hall.
"Hey! Nicholas, hurry up and wake up. Something is wrong … "
When Han Dong woke up from his sleep, not a single crow had sent him any information about the crisis.
"What's wrong?"
"Tonight … there seems to be no moon."
Han Dong followed Cass' gaze and looked out of the window.
Dark clouds had completely covered the moon. The professional bodyguard that he had hired with great difficulty had actually taken leave on the second day of work!
