[Comprehensive British and American] I open a haunted house in the superhero world

"What happened?" Nick Fury asked.

"I heard someone behind me," replied the agent who had called out earlier.

"This is a haunted house, maybe it's the employees inside." Nick pressed his hand, signaling them to put down their guns.

Before entering the haunted house, you must put down all the things you bring with you. This is to prevent customers from getting emotional and hurting people in the haunted house.

But considering the special identities of each one, West just let them go after a simple check.

After all, you want him to find a weapon from an agent, which is really difficult.

Although I am very worried about my haunted house, but think about it, no matter how lethal the agents are, they are not as powerful as Superman, right?

……Maybe.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents put away their guns obediently after hearing what Fury said.

Hill gestured for Fury to look up at the monitor that West used as decoration above his head. Fury shook his head: "Although I don't know how he did it, this little boss guessed our identities."

Even so, he didn't want to doubt the other party in his mind.

"I'm making excuses for him, see, even though my head doesn't feel right, my body tells me more than anything to believe him," Fury told Hill.

"It's weird," Hill replied.

"It's not weird, it's weird—my mind tells me that, and my emotions ask me why it's weird," Fury said, turning his head away from the question, not sure if it was his mind or his own. Sensibility is so determined, "Everyone calm down, put away your guns, this is a haunted house, someone else's place."

Everyone put their guns back, only the agent who yelled just now was still holding the gun in his hand, looking at the open space not far away in a daze.

"Jordy? Jody!" Fury called out, and the Jody he was talking about was the agent he called just now.

"Yes, I'm here." Fury yelled a third time before Jody came back to his senses.

Fury looked him up and down, and found that the agent was nervously clutching the gun in his hand, looking terrified.

"Didn't you hear what I just said?" Fury asked.

Who knew that after saying this, Jody held the gun even harder.

These agents were all brought out by him, and many of them had been sharpened on the battlefield. He knew them well, and it was impossible for him to be frightened by a haunted house.

So, more likely because of something else.

"What happened?" Fury asked, frowning.

Jody pursed her lips and said in surprise, "I, I feel like there are people around."

Someone, he is not feeling, but sure.

From the moment he walked in, he felt that someone had been watching him.

When he got to the front of the row of small buildings, the person or thing who looked at him seemed to have the courage to pull the corner of his clothes.

Fury looked at the expression on his face, and after making sure that he was not lying, he pricked up his ears and observed carefully.

But apart from the row of small buildings, he never heard any sound other than their breathing.

"There's no one here." Fury said, he believed in his own judgment, he had this confidence, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sit where he is now.

"Impossible." Jody replied subconsciously, completely forgetting who was standing in front of her.

"I said there is no one here." Fury took a deep look at Jody, "At least the owner of the haunted house hasn't sent anyone here yet."

Although I have never played a haunted house, it is common sense that there will be some real people playing ghosts in the haunted house, and Fury is still very clear.

"But..." Jody swallowed the following words. Everyone here knows Fury's ability, and naturally knows that since he said there is no one here, then there must be no one here.

What if it's not a person?

This idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

"Squad." Fury said, there are eight of them in total, and there are four houses in front of them, just enough for two people to share.

What was the task that the boss mentioned just now?Find the eight balloons that Pennywise is about to send, and survive "it" after them.

Why didn't he say "survive 'it' and find the eight balloons that Pennywise was about to send"?The order of the sentences before and after is very interesting. First find the balloon, and then survive.

In other words, the pursuit is likely to start with getting the balloon.

It has to be said that as an agent, Fury's observation and reasoning abilities are far better than that of a reporter. West couldn't even think of the order of his words. Fury has already guessed the way to start the hunt.

But Fury still chose the team without hesitation. The time is only four and ten minutes, but there are four houses and eight balloons.

It would be a waste of manpower if he didn't divide into teams, and he didn't think the agents he had trained would be unable to deal with some dangers.

Therefore, the team is imperative.

Everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D. is very obedient to Fury's words, and they believe in his judgment.

Originally, Jody was also a very obedient member, but he was very uneasy...

"Any questions, Jody?" Fury asked, raising his voice.

Years of habit made Jody answer almost instinctively: "No, no."

"Is there still a human voice now?" Fury asked again.

Jody listened carefully for a while, then shook his head.

The voice that was still there just now seemed to have disappeared.

Fury looked at him thoughtfully, but instead of wasting time, he started grouping, and then eight people were divided into four groups.

Fury was naturally with Hill, and Jody was assigned a young man with glasses named Harris.

After each group selected the houses of each group, they walked in towards their goals.

Jody and Harris chose the third house in the middle. In fact, the appearance of the four small buildings is almost the same, except for the things placed in the yard at the entrance.

There is a children's swing at the door of the first house, and there are two toy cars around it.

There is a huge sandpit at the door of the second home, and there are some obstacles in the house that look like they are used for military training.

There is a huge dog cage at the door of the fourth house, and there are some scattered hairs around it.

And the third door that Jody and Harris chose had nothing but scarecrows on the walls.

When they got to the door, Jody gave the scarecrow a special look.

Scarecrows are mostly used by farmers to prevent birds from spoiling crops such as food, and those standing next to rice fields are usually made of straw, so they are called scarecrows.

Why would this seemingly non-agricultural family place scarecrows around the house?

Jody stared at the scarecrow in front of him, a little dazed.

"Jody?" Harris, who had already walked to the door, looked back at Jody who was staring at the scarecrow in a daze, and called out.

Jody came back to his senses and hurriedly followed.

When he was almost there, he still couldn't hold back, and looked back at the scarecrow.

Why did he feel...that scarecrow seemed to be looking back at him?

"You've been restless since just now. Why are you scared by the haunted house?" These eight people are familiar with each other, and Harris and Jody have also been on missions together. Seeing him distracted at this time is naturally a joke. asked, "The atmosphere of this haunted house is well done, it can easily arouse our defensive psychology, you are sensitive."

Jody shook his head. He was the first to notice something was wrong, but he seemed to be the only one.

Maybe he was really too sensitive, Jody smiled wryly, but no matter how he told himself to calm down, what lingered in his mind was the scarecrow at the door.

I should have gone to check it just now, and Jody felt a little regretful.

He panicked, so Harris ran in after him as soon as he called out. According to the process, the first step they had to do was to check everything they saw and not miss any clues.

But he didn't think of this in a panic, why didn't Harris think of it?

While he was thinking about this, Harris had already led him to the living room on the first floor.

The living room is very tidy and clean, without any mess. It can be seen that the owner loves cleanliness at a glance.

Jody walked around, and then found some white granular objects around the door and windows, which seemed to be salt.

The family sprinkled salt in the house?

It is said that salt has the function of blocking evil spirits. If you sprinkle it on the door and windows, evil spirits will not dare to enter from there.

So, this family is guarding against evil spirits?

"Look here." Harris yelled, and he walked to the coffee table in the living room opposite the door, and picked up some papers from it.

Jody hurried over to Harris to see what he had found.

Children's drawing?

The painting is drawn with crayons, and from the way it is drawn, it belongs to a child of three or four years old.

The first painting headed is a house with four people.

Four people stood directly in front of the house, as if they were just about to move in.

The child can't draw, and the people he draws are stick figures with thin arms.

Standing together, the four of them could only tell from their height that they should be a family.

With the sun above their heads, the sun is shining brightly, and this family is considered happy.

The thought flashed through Jody and Harris at the same time.

It's just... Jody stared at the shortest one in the painting, which should be the child of this family.

There is an obvious shadow under the child's feet, which makes people feel uncomfortable no matter how you look at it.

The next few pictures are somewhat similar, most of them are four people together, sometimes four people watch TV together, sometimes they are kite together.

They are all very happy, but there is always a shadow under the child's feet.

"Show me." Jody stretched out his hand to take it over and take a closer look.

Harris was about to give it to him, but when he let go of his hand, suddenly a piece of paper floated from his hand to the ground.

Subconsciously, Jody immediately bent down to pick it up.

It didn't matter if he picked it up, he was stunned the moment he lowered his head.

Under the coffee table, there are all kinds of drawing paper densely packed.

Picking up the one closest to him, Jody's scalp was numb and his whole body was cold.

The whole painting is dominated by black, and there is a stickman in the large black.

Judging from the height, it is the child in the painting.

The wooden man is in the middle of the picture, squatting on the ground, as if observing a large pool of red water on the ground, like blood or red ink.

Over the red water floats a balloon, half white and the other half red.

And the balloon rope fell into the red water.

Jody turned the picture over, and at the end of the picture it said [They don't like the red balloon I sent].

What does this sentence mean?
