[Infinite] End Game

Tang Yu and the others followed Alex in the promenade. Through the window, they could see that a large piece of the lawn outside had been cleared, the ground was burnt to blackness, and the smoke and dust in the air had dissipated a lot. The direction of the blowing revealed a clean sky.

Tang Yu was taken to a living room, and was forced to drink hot water wrapped in a blanket. Alex just looked at them coldly and went out to prepare food for them. Tang Yu disappeared when Alex's figure disappeared. Behind the door, he quickly raised his eyes to look at Louis.

——He is eager to know what happened in the past two days, because since he talked with Lin Xiwen, no one really cares about them.He didn't get any news for two whole days, and he felt very bad about being isolated while knowing that the outside world was undergoing tremendous changes.

"What's the situation now? Where are the others?" Tang Yu asked softly after taking a sip of water.

"...The plague is over." Louis also sat down, threw himself into the soft cushion, and said with a calm after exhaustion, "Just last night."

"How come?" Tang Yu slightly opened his eyes slightly in surprise, but he quickly realized: "Is it because of Lynn?"

"You can put it this way," Louis looked at Tang Yu and sighed, "But it's mainly because of Terry...he's dead."

Tang Yu: "..."

Louis' words instantly brought him back to a few days ago, when they were in the tent listening to Wei Liu and Lin Xiwen talking about the information obtained from the drunkard. In the plague more than 20 years ago, the neighboring villages and towns suffered heavy casualties, but the plague in Harlem was eliminated overnight. The only special thing was that a little girl named Angelina died.

Now Terry's death is almost like a repeat of the events 20 years ago.

"Mr. Pastor, are you gone?" Tang Yu still had one question. No matter how shallow the family relationship was, Terry was Mr. Pastor's child after all. As a father, he would never watch his child die. The only answer Something happened to Mr. Reverend.

"...not just Mr. Pastor, the mayor also passed away early yesterday morning." Louis's eyes were bloodshot, obviously he hadn't rested for a long time, he raised his fingers and rubbed his swollen temples, and then put the two The story of the day was slowly told.

The day when the plague broke out was supposed to be the third performance of the circus, but everyone stayed in the tent because of the plague. Only Louis was left in the church because of his status as a doctor. Perhaps because he had too frequent contact with patients, the mayor and pastor They all developed a high fever, and to further ferment the matter, the missing child was found the next day.

To be precise, only the two children of the Denas family escaped, and according to their identification, the person who kidnapped them was Terry.

Hearing this, Tang Yu thought it was ridiculous. Although Terry couldn't be said to be a good person, he was obviously full of affection for this town and even the people in the town. No matter how you looked at it, it was impossible for Terry to do such a thing.

It's not that the children of the Denas family deliberately lied to frame Terry, but that the children's thinking is relatively simple and they are easily misled.If they didn't see their kidnappers clearly at the beginning, but when they escaped, they saw something that could testify against Terry, and after learning of the death of their parents, the hatred for Terry would only reach its peak, and there would be no There is no doubt whether this uncle who usually looks like a good man is the real murderer.

What really made Tang Yu feel ridiculous was that Terry admitted it.

"Not only did he admit it, but he also led us to find the bodies of the other children. It's just that twelve children were lost in the town and buried in the woods, but when we dug, thirteen children were found. The extra one was rotten and only the bones were left. Lynn said that it was Angelina. He killed Angelina to stop the plague, and now he kidnapped and killed those children for the same reason. Stop the plague."

"Because of the mayor's fault, Brant lost the right to speak in the town. Instead, he was elected by Alex and the townspeople who moved here 20 years ago. The witness testified, so he was executed by the townspeople on the spot. Strange to say, as soon as Terry's body fell to the ground, a group of rats came out from nowhere and devoured Terry in front of us."

Of course, the rats that eat people cannot be kept, but just when the townspeople were about to hunt and kill the rats, the rats suddenly turned around and ran towards the church as if they had received some unified order.

The fire that was raised there to burn the corpses lasted all night, and Louis and the others watched helplessly as the rats scrambled into the fire, and the fur and grease were roasted by the flames, making crackling, creaking The screams kept echoing in everyone's ears, until the last mouse was burned to ashes, and everyone realized it as if they had just woken up from a dream. The plague in the town was over like this. Mr. Pastor only found out that he had also hanged himself...

In short, just as Tang Yu thought, many things did happen in the past two days.Tang Yu couldn't recover for a while after listening, but not long after, Alex came back with two servings of bread and bacon.Tang Yu didn't have much appetite, so Alex grabbed their plate after he barely ate it, and said to the three people including Louis angrily, "Hurry up and leave after eating!"

The momentum is still as strong as ever.

Of course Tang Yu wanted to go out and have a look, even if Alex didn't chase him away, he would take the initiative to leave.He and Chang He planned to visit Terry's house, and Louis waved to them as soon as he left the church and separated from them.He had barely slept for the past three days, and now that the dust had settled, he couldn't bear it any longer and had to go back to rest.

Tang Yu and Chang He walked side by side on the street. They saw that some people had already started business in the shops on both sides of the road, and the pedestrians who brushed shoulders with them walked in a hurry, but there was not much panic on their faces. They couldn't help but sigh a little. The acceptance of suffering that has nothing to do with oneself is really high.

I heard from Louis that nearly 60 people died of the plague during this period, and I don’t know if it was a coincidence. The dead were all aborigines in the town 20 years ago. Cheer up and live your life as if nothing had happened. I don't know whether to admire or feel ironic.

But no matter what, the shadow of death really enveloped this medieval town, and it was like a cloud, and soon drifted away with the wind. After a long time, the stories here may become fairy tales and be passed down. .

Terry's house is in the direction opposite to the woods and the river. It is well maintained, and the walls are covered with wisteria flowers. It usually stands on the street and attracts attention, but at this time it seems to be forgotten. .

Tang Yu opened the door and walked up the stairs to the second floor, but met an unexpected person.Lynn didn't paint his clown makeup today. He was wearing a silver mask and stood upright in Terry's room. He was bathed in the sunlight coming in from the window, and the madness and chaos that could not be seen in his eyes Most of them dispersed, which made him finally seem to have a sense of calm. After seeing Tang Yu and Chang He, Lin En did not show the slightest surprise, but bent his eyebrows and said softly: "You guys Here we come."
