Kent wanted to get close but somehow couldn't move, his whole body was like petrified.
Then, Kent suddenly realized that his left hand was holding something. Looking down, he saw that he was holding a fruit knife, that's right, suddenly a knife was in his hand.
The knife in his hand was stained with blood, and Kent wanted to throw it away but could not move or let go of the knife, like the knife was glued to his hand.
Ann Reed's head was crying more and more, but in the eye sockets were all black blood. The hair on her head gradually tied Kent down, Ann Reed's head being pulled up by her hair and fixed in the air.
Their eyes met, Kent's face was only a few centimeters from Ann Reed's head, Kent could clearly feel her cold breath on his face.
Kent saw Ann Reed's face in front of her with mixed emotions, both fear and longing. Anyway, Ann Reed is also Kent's girlfriend, in his life, there are not many relatives, so Kent soon considers Ann Reed as a family member, except that he is not currently married.
However, Ann Reed's current face was scary, it was a white face with no blood, eyes only white.
Kent was extremely scared, sweat soaked his shirt but Kent still felt extremely cold like in the refrigerator, he couldn't move either.
Suddenly, Ann Reed's head opened its mouth, Kent felt something in his body about to fly out, a kind of sense of loss and death clearly appeared in his mind.
At this moment, a mist of white smoke like mist flew out from Kent's eyes, nose and mouth, and then into Ann Reed's wide open mouth.
Ann Reed sucked the smoke out of Kent for three seconds, then stopped, the remaining smoke hung in the air for a while and then flew back to Kent.
Although everything happened quite quickly, at this time Kent realized that he had just lost something very important, like a part of his own life was lost.
“Ha ha ha …”
Suddenly Ann Reed smiled a fierce smile, that smile was once the most beautiful smile Kent had ever known, but now in Kent's eyes there was a look of terror and scary.
KENG!
The space suddenly shattered into pieces like broken glass.
"Cough!"
Kent opened his eyes in surprise, he found himself standing outside the living room, holding a knife in his hand.
“Thup!”
Kent sat down on the ground, his whole body shaking, his T-shirt soaked with sweat then he fainted.
“Um…”
Kent wearily opened his eyes, and found himself lying on the living room floor, still clutching the knife in his left hand.
Kent struggled to sit up, seeing the sunlight coming through the living room window made Kent feel a little warm.
Perhaps after experiencing horror last night, Kent felt the darkness was too horrible, too scary.
So, now Kent feels the rays of the sun so warm. Seeing the sun means he's alive.
"Tsk!"
Kent felt his head hurt like a hammer. Kent staggered to the bathroom to wash his face to wake up.
Looking at her own face in the mirror, Kent was a little startled. Kent's face is still the same, but he doesn't understand why he finds his face a bit strange, like the person in the mirror isn't himself.
“What am I thinking?” Kent thought to himself: "It must be because I'm so tired that I feel strange."
After washing his face, Kent went out of the living room and lay down on the sofa tiredly.
Kent looked at his phone, inside there was a new notification from the System. He moved his finger to open the message, and an announcement immediately appeared.
Kent looked at his phone, inside there was a new notification from the System. He moved his finger to open, and a message immediately appeared.
[Congratulations to Mr. Peter Kent for surviving until now. However, it's not over yet. On the contrary, your current condition was extremely dangerous. Half of your soul has been swallowed up by Ann Reed. If this situation continues, within a month, the rest of your soul will also be eaten by Ann Reed.]
Kent saw the message, his body suddenly trembled, fear covered his mind.
Thinking everything was over, this nightmare would no longer appear. But that's just Kent's thoughts, things are even worse.
Kent sensed Death standing very close to him. Not a skeleton wearing a black cloak, holding a scythe. The Death is Ann Reed.
Kent asked the System dejectedly, "Is there any way to keep me alive?"
[Ting!]
Kent's phone immediately had a new message.
[If you want to continue living, there is a way.]
Kent seeing the message from the System immediately rejoiced, a bright path opened up right before his eyes. Kent did not have time to wait, immediately asked: “How? Say it quickly!"
[Makes Ann Reed no longer hungry.]
“No longer hungry?”
[Right. Ann Reed is very hungry right now, she wants to eat a lot of soul energy, your soul being eaten by Ann Reed just calmed her down a bit. If there is no other soul energy, she will continue to eat the remaining half of the soul you have.]
Kent thought for a moment and then asked, "So… does that mean I have to sacrifice someone else's soul to Ann Reed in order to continue living?"
[Not. Kent, what you need to do now is find other demons to feed Ann Reed.]
"What? Are you kidding?” Kent screamed in fear. In Kent's mind, surviving from Ann Reed's evil hand was already very difficult, now the System said he had to find other demons as food for Ann Reed to have a chance to live.
This is like: “Out of the frying pan into the fire.”
No way, that can't be. If he did as the System said, he would die sooner or later, if not by Ann Reed, he would also die by other demons.
[Don't be so pessimistic, don't you already have a new weapon?]
“New weapon?”
[Yes, that is the knife.]
"Knife?" Kent heard that and looked at the fruit knife lying on the table, it was the knife he was holding when performing the demon interrogation ritual.
[You haven't been able to ask what Ann Reed needs from you, so the "ask the devil" quest has not been successful. That's why his life was in danger. However, the other knife has been partially infected with Ann Reed's energy, which can deal damage to entities like Ann Reed.]
“Does that mean that knife can kill demons?”
[It can be understood as such.]
“But why did that knife appear in my hand?”
[Because it was the weapon that killed Ann Reed.]
Kent was surprised, does it mean that he was holding a weapon?
Ding Dong!
Kent didn't have time to rejoice when the doorbell rang, he quickly hid the knife under the sofa and shouted: "Who is it?"
“Are you Peter Kent? We are the police.” Outside the door came the voice of a man.
Kent was startled, he didn't know why the police came to find him, was it something bad? Or… because he was holding the knife, the weapon that killed Ann Reed?
Although she did not know why the police came to find her, Kent was still very worried. He hurriedly hid the knife under the sofa, then stabilized his emotions, trying to calm down. Kent said to himself, "I'm not breaking the law, this knife was given to me by the System." After he calmed down, Kent took a deep breath then headed out the door. The main door opened, standing at the door were two familiar policemen. These two policemen are David and Andrew, they are also the ones who announced the murder of Ann Reed, after which Kent also had a long time working with them. That's why David and Andrew are no strangers to Kent. Although Kent is usually very cooperative to find out the killer who killed Ann Reed, Kent is now
Kent frowned in confusion, because with current information and technology, anyone can be tracked by the police if they use the internet. Even if this person does not use the internet, the huge number of security cameras can help the police find his whereabouts. A person who is missing or has not been found has only one reason, that is, this person does not appear in the city and does not have access to the internet. Soon after, Kent pulled out a map from a bookshelf, which according to police records, Doris is said to have last appeared in a northern town called Reiv. Reiv is a small town more than 100km north of the city, not only that, to reach that town besides 100km by highway, you have to walk another 10km to reach this town. Kent opened the phone to look for m
In front of him was the shadow of an unknown creature, its gait similar to that of a monkey but much thinner, its height estimated to be more than two meters tall, the thing on its hand that Kent could not identify was a claw. or the fingers are twice as long as the average person.It looks like a… Chimpanzee.“Is it a wild animal or… a demon?” Kent was silent as he watched the dark figure moving around the tent while thinking.Suddenly, the shadow leaned against the wall of the tent, and Kent almost cried out in fear. Kent tried to get close to the back, but this time things took a different turn.Kent didn't notice that in the back there was a face imprinted on the wall of the tent, the face trying to rush in causing the wall to stretch. He doesn't know what's going on behind his back because Kent is paying attention to the black shadow of an unknown creature in front of him.Full of fangs and claws, that was Kent's thoughts whe
Hearing this, the crowd stopped moving, and an old man about seventy years old came out from the crowd. The old man with an old look, with white hair, a bent back, and a walking stick in his hand, walked out.Although the old man looked very old, his eyes were extremely sharp. Kent was stared at by the old man, a little annoyed but also a little scared. Just now, Kent, of course, seeing that the old man only needed to shout once, these people stopped, which shows that this old man's position is not low."Is it the Mayor?" Kent thought. After all, only the Mayor could make all the others obey.“Are you from outside?” The old man spoke, his voice hoarse, making it a little difficult for Kent to hear the words, but he was reluctant to hear them."Outside? You mean from outside this town?” Kent asked again, even though he talked to the old man, his hand still held the jungle knife to prevent the crowd around suddenly going mad to a
“Is this Doris?” Kent asked.Nas shook his head: "No, that's Doris's mother."Kent listened attentively to the picture, he felt that Nas' words could be trusted because the picture was so old, Kent was sure that this picture was taken with an old-fashioned camera, the kind of camera that by film. That kind of camera was very popular a long time ago, about 20-30 years ago, now everyone has a smartphone that can take pictures.Nas continued: “Eighteen years ago, Doris's mother was named Dosy, and she brought with her two daughters, one four years old and one seven years old. At first, she came here alone, without relatives and without anyone to help, so I let her stay in this town, even then I let her stay in my house. .”“However, four years later, a group of people came to take a little girl away, I asked them who they were and why they took the other girl away, and Dosy only replied that she could not raise two children, so one for
“Okay, you can choose any room to stay in, but don't wander around in town, I can't guarantee your safety. At least the townspeople won't harm you, as for the other creatures I don't know."Nas leaves a threat and turns to leave the house, Kent doesn't know where he's going but he doesn't care because he has a lot of work to do. Kent walks around the house, looking for a clean room to live in. Kent stood in the hallway, it was dark around, although it was noon but in the corridor there didn't seem to be any light source so Kent had to turn on the flash of his mobile phone to light the way.Kent didn't notice before because he was following behind old man Nas, now he has a chance to see this house clearly. There were traces of dried blood mixed with red and black everywhere. Kent's brow furrowed tightly, he followed the flash of his phone walking down the hallway, the two sides of which were wooden walls that smelled musty and hard to smell.Sud
Kent was surprised to see that one of the two children was very similar to Ann Reed, no, not the same, but it was Ann Reed who could not be wrong. Because Kent has been with Ann Reed for a long time, he loves her very much, so Ann Reed's gestures, actions, preferences or voice are all well understood and remembered. That's why when he saw this child, he immediately recognized it as the young Ann Reed.“If it's Ann Reed then it's Doris, so is this woman your mother?” Kent began to grasp the details and judge. However, then he felt strange again and wondered: "Wait, if so, who was Ann Reed's family before? Who is this woman?"Many speculations ran through his mind, but Kent wasn't sure because he had so little information right now, and the overlapping details made it even harder for him to guess.Suddenly, the other woman did not care about the two children but looked directly into Kent's face. He was startled, because until now he thought everything wa
“Hope someone sees this diary?” Kent was confused when he saw the words that Dosy wrote. How is this different from wanting others to find out about her diary?Although it was difficult to understand, Kent continued to watch.[This is the first day I am writing a diary, but I will make many things clear, there are things that I have hidden in my heart for a long time and will not later reveal to other people, but the more I hide it, the more things develop to the point where they don't exist. Hopefully, the person reading this diary can help me.]Reading this far, Kent suddenly felt that there was a woman alone in the dark corners of the room where the light could not reach. The temperature of the room suddenly dropped, making him uncomfortable. But Kent still didn't give up. In the diary, it was not Dosy who said that he wanted someone to read and bring out the light inside. Kent trusted Dosy, saying that they would not hurt her.[Dream Orphanage is not a peaceful place either. Dream
