Chapter 359 13, Beasts (Part 1)
The children were celebrating the success of the magic potion on the grass, but at this moment, in the distance, a few untimely black spots appeared on the dirt road on the horizon. When Hoffa saw those black spots, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his brows frowned slightly.
The black spot got closer and closer, and finally turned into three jeeps, which stopped a dozen meters away from the camp.
A dozen or so men in black clothes jumped out of the vehicle. Those men put their hands in their pockets and held something. On the jeep in the middle, a doctor in a white coat got off.
Seeing this group of people, Hoffa's expression changed. The group of men in black were dressed exactly like the ones who had taken him to the hospital when he had just woken up from King's Cross Station. And the guy dressed as the doctor was even more familiar. It was the doctor who taught him when he was treated in the psychiatric hospital. Although they were not the same person, they were dressed exactly the same.
Hoffa never thought that he would see them again in this place where nothing shit happened. Could it be that what he did in London exposed his existence? Or is it that he was recognized on the train, and someone informed and attracted these guys from the mental hospital.
After getting out of the car, the man in white looked around, and the peasant woman who was forking licorice also put down her work and looked at the strange visitors curiously.
Afterwards, those men in black came to the farmer women and chatted enthusiastically with them, writing and drawing with lists in their hands.
Hoffa grew wary, arching his back, ready to flee.
Contrary to him, the peasant women on the other side gradually let go of their guard. The doctor didn't know what he said to them, which made them smile, and shouted and called their children by their names.
The children gathered by the small hearth in the bushes heard their mother's call, and ran out of the bushes to where their mother was.
At this time, a woman wiping tears walked out of the wooden house with the support of two young girls and came to the doctor. The doctor said a few words to the woman with a smile on his face, and the woman began to greet her.
"Arthur, Arthur, where are you, come here, come here quickly, the doctor wants to give you a physical examination!"
It was only then that Hoffa realized that the boy named Arthur was the son of a soldier. He thought about what happened to him in the hospital, and saw the messy stove on the ground, so he couldn't help but grab the boy named Arthur, low He said, "Don't go there."
"Why, sir."
Arthur asked confused.
Hoffa panicked for no reason. The panic was even worse than when the group of people found him in person, "You can't go there, those people will kill you!" He threatened.
Not far away, a man in black opened the trunk of the jeep and took out bags of fruit candies. Those fruit candies looked colorful and delicious. They took fruit candies and distributed them to the children one by one.
The children who got the candy cheered and tasted it happily. The doctor knelt down and held a child's hand, asking kindly what.
A girl left the crowd, with her head down, her hands in her pockets, and she walked towards Hoffa casually.
Headache and restlessness filled Hoffa's mind, and he held Arthur's hand tightly, for fear that he would leave. However, this made Arthur feel terrified. He struggled and twisted, and said in fear: "Sir, my mother is calling me, please let me go."
Hoffa didn't let go. Instead, he pulled Arthur back and kept repeating: "They will kill you, they will kill you, they will kill you"
The girl quickened her pace. When Hoffa saw her coming, his fear erupted again. He covered Arthur's mouth, hugged him horizontally, bowed his waist and got out of the bushes, and was about to take him away from here.
The girl speeded up suddenly, rushed to the hunched Hoffa with a stride, and stopped him with her arms outstretched.
The doctor in the distance cast his eyes casually at the place where the two faced each other.
At this moment, the boy named Arthur was held in Hoffa's arms, covered his mouth, and looked at the girl with tears in his eyes.
"Are you crazy, Hoffa?"
The girl frowned and said in a low voice: "Those people are all carrying guns, can you run like this?"
Hoffa looked around. Several men in black put their hands in their pockets and slowly surrounded them from the bushes in the distance.
The severe headache made Hoffa panting heavily. He didn't care about other things at the moment, and just said, "Get out of the way!"
"It's too dangerous to force them. They are not the organ traffickers that night."
The girl stuck to Hoffa's ear and whispered: "Listen to me, Hoffa, not all the doctors are from London. I just eavesdropped. These people are from Sheffield. They don't know me. , most likely don’t even know you.”
Hoffa shook his head vigorously, barely suppressing his headache, and said, "What are you going to do?"
The girl thought for a while and said, "It's very simple. Let's follow what they said and get away with it. If you ask, you can say that you are my younger brother Miller Gorshak, and we will be safe if we confuse the inspection."
The girl said something else, but Hoffa couldn't listen at all. When the girl said her brother's name, it was as if he was struck by an invisible lightning bolt, and he froze in place.
Miller Gorshack Miller Gorshack.
This unremarkable information is like a small stone thrown into a calm pool of water, but there is a sensitive and crazy monster living at the bottom of the pool, which turned the pool upside down in an instant.
Arthur fell from the sluggish Hoffa's arms to the ground, and he rushed out of the bushes in panic and ran towards his mother.
"Hoffa, Hoffa, do you understand?"
The girl was still whispering, trying to get an affirmative answer.
Hoffa stood there blankly, accompanied by the piercing pain, a trace of nosebleed slowly seeped out from his nasal cavity, which was not conspicuous.
The plainclothes in black slowly approached the suspicious two.
The girl stomped her feet, gritted her teeth, grabbed Hoffa's hand, and pulled him towards the camp.
Hoffa followed the girl like a corpse, his blank brain was constantly stimulated by the appearance of this new information, some broken information began to be pieced together because of this name, like a pile of broken puzzles began to reassemble.
He seemed to see a faceless man smiling at him in the void, he seemed to smell the aroma of violets lingering at the tip of his nose, he seemed to hear the crazy cry from the bottom of his heart, the wild roar of the beast——Liar! ! fraud! ! fraud! !
The girl took Hoffa to the camp and stood beside the jeep.
At this moment, the doctor is asking the children all kinds of questions one by one, from name, to age, to place of origin, to belief, to education level.
After asking all the questions, the doctor stood in front of the crowd and said in a gentle and gentle manner: "As entrusted by the royal family, from now on, our hospital will cooperate with many universities in Sheffield. In Yorkshire, children who have reached the age of eleven must enter the community. School to study, tuition and miscellaneous fees will be exempted."
The mothers who worked in agriculture clapped their hands and looked excited when they heard this.
The doctor stretched out his hand and suppressed the cheers: "Of course, adults are no exception. We will carry out adult education and training activities, and set up special adult schools in the community for adults to learn and communicate. When the time comes, you all have to go to the appointed Sign up at the location, understand?"
The peasant women looked at each other in blank dismay, they did not expect that they would also participate. Susanna stood up and asked, "Sir, what about the farm work?"
The doctor said coldly: "I don't know about this, I arrange my own affairs. It is a great grace to be able to receive education. I hope you will not let us down."
The peasant women present whispered, Arthur raised his hand timidly in the crowd and asked, "Sir, can I take the stove and broom to school?"
"Stove and broom? Why did you bring those things?"
"Because they are my good friends."
broom
The conversation between the doctor and Arthur fell on Hoffa's ears, and no amount of information, no matter how small, could trigger an earthquake-like frenzy for the crazy beast. In a daze, he saw a silver-haired girl standing in front of him holding a golden ball amidst the fluttering snowflakes.
"Did you see it? Did you see it? My last upside-down broom movement!"
Hoffa raised his head, the dazzling sunlight cut his skin like a knife, blood flowed from his nasal cavity, and flowed silently along his neck to the back of his hand.
The conversation between the doctor and the boy continued.
Doctor: "What did you say?"
Boy: "The broom and the stove are my best friends."
Doctor: "Why do you make friends with the stove and the broom."
Boy: "Because."
Doctor: "Remember, humans are not allowed to be friends with stoves and brooms. Humans can only be friends with humans, understand?"
"But."
The doctor raised his hand and stopped the boy's defense. He asked directly, "Arthur, do you believe in magic?"
The boy's eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice and asked excitedly, "Magic, have you seen magic?"
Unexpectedly, this sentence made the doctor's face change suddenly, and the gentleness just now disappeared without a trace, like a porcelain doll with paint peeling off.
"There is no magic in this world!!"
The doctor growled, so loudly that everyone's attention was drawn to the doctor's growl. Naturally, this sentence also reached Hoffa's mind.
In his mind, flames flickered in the dark underground space. The Faceless Man's face twisted in the flames, and the beast roared at the Faceless Man—"Miller!"
"I'm glad you finally got my name right, Hofferbach"
Those fragments gradually took on a little bit of shape, but that shape made the beast roar almost desperately, it was so crazy and painful that the newly formed shape was kicked away by it.
But in reality, under the brutal sunlight in the afternoon, Hoffa held his head up, and blood flowed uncontrollably from his mouth and nose, as if the blood vessels in his body had burst in severe pain.
The girl who was pulling her suddenly felt that her hand was sticky. She looked down and saw the bright red blood in her hand. She couldn't help but gasped, and immediately turned her head to look at the man beside her. Hoffa has completely lost consciousness, blood is stained on his chin, flowing happily from his neck like a stream.
The Faceless Man was laughing maniacally in his head, fighting on flying steps in an empty castle. On the wall, stone hands stretched out continuously. He stepped on the stone and climbed up the tower step by step. On the tower, a thin girl stood with her back to him, and the beast stretched out its claws.
"Miranda, come back with me."
A certain memory node was touched, and after that memory node was connected to an endless abyss, the abyss was filled with fragrance and probing towards him like tentacles, as if to drag him back to an invisible world.
No! ! !
The beast howled.
The wind blew across the wheat field, and the doctor pulled the boy up from the ground, almost touching his face, and said with spittle: "There is no magic in the world, not in the past, not now, and never will be in the future!
"Cocoa"
Arthur pointed to the doctor's ear and cried, "What is that?"
The doctor was taken aback and turned his head away.
He didn't know when there was a stone floating in mid-air next to his ear.
The stone was so inconspicuous, but the doctor let go of his palm, and he backed away in horror, staring at the floating stone, as if he had seen a ghost during the day.
This is not over yet, with the tumbling waves of wheat, small stones popped out of the ground one after another. It formed a small river and galloped away in one direction.
