Comprehensive fear: this dead heroine

The screams of that thing were continuous, and before Zuo Si had time to see the real face of that thing clearly, it had already turned into green smoke and dissipated in the air.

The raging resentment in the room re-entered her body.

The resentment disappeared, and the guy pretending to be Alice also disappeared. Zuo Si's body softened and fell on the bed. She sat there, her mind was empty, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

She thought she had forgotten it, but when she saw that person's appearance, Zuo Si realized that she had never forgotten her appearance. Those memories seemed to be something that happened yesterday, and she seemed to have returned to her. When I arrived in that world, I returned to the days when I was with Alice.

Zuo Si had already forgotten how to break away from that world. The only memory left for her in that world was about Alice.

She lowered her head, looked at the faded wooden floor under her feet, and the tears in her eyes slid down silently.

Why do you cry?

She didn't know, but those tears were not controlled by her consciousness at all, and kept falling down.

She is sad.

Sitting on the edge of the bed shed tears for a long time, I don't know when, those incessant tears finally stopped, Zuo Si raised his hand, touched his wet cheeks, and slowly walked into the bathroom middle.

She stayed in the bathroom for a long time, until it was getting darker and darker, and she just came out of the bathroom.

When looking in the mirror, Zuo Si saw that his eyes were a little swollen, but when he reached out to touch them, he didn't feel any pain.

Looking at the strange figure in the mirror, she twitched the corners of her mouth, revealing a stiff and weird smile.

Zuo Si quickly sorted out her emotions, she had left that world for a long time, she would not see Alice again, she could only remain in the depths of her memory.

There is nothing that cannot be forgotten, time will slowly erase everything, those pasts will be hidden deep in the memory, and when you think you have forgotten everything, they will come back again.

Lying on the big soft bed, Zuo Si slowly closed her eyes. Her mind was in a mess. She thought she would not fall asleep, but after lying down for a while, she fell into a dark and sweet dream. .

It was already late at night, and almost everyone in the small town of Derry had fallen asleep. In this deserted and remote town, there was no entertainment at night, and even the bars in the town would be open at ten o'clock. close the door.

It seems that people have nothing more to do than sleep.

The town was plunged into darkness, except for the lit street lights on the main road, the other areas were completely swallowed by darkness.

The dark area without light is a forbidden area that humans cannot enter. The monsters lurking in the darkness grow in the darkness, and the monsters bred by the darkness look greedily at the small town named Derry.

People in their sleep are unaware of this, unaware that they have become the target of predators.

The next day was a cloudy and rainy day. Thick dark clouds hung over the town, and continuous drizzle fell from the sky. Looking out of the window, the outside was so foggy that even the houses opposite were not clearly visible.

Zuo Si sat on the bed for a few minutes, his sanity slowly returning to his cage.

The alarm clock on the bedside table sounded respectfully, the jingling sound made people even more headache, Zuo Si stretched out her hand, closed her mind, the world became quiet, she took a few deep breaths, walked Wash in the bathroom.

When she went downstairs, Alice had already prepared breakfast. While Zuo Si was still asleep, Alice had already gotten up to prepare breakfast for her.

Today's breakfast was no different from the previous two days. Zuo Si sat there, slowly eating the food placed in front of him.

She seems to be too silent today. Alice, who was sitting across from Zuo Si, noticed something wrong with her. She looked up at her son, and saw her eyes were red, as if she had cried. Alice felt distressed for a moment. , asked, "Stan, what's wrong with you?"

Zuo Si, who was eating, raised his head in a daze, and looked at Alice, who had the same name but was a different person, Zuo Si looked a little dazed: "What?"

"Stan, are you crying? Who bullied you, you tell mom, I will help you."

Her heart is good, but she can't help her.

Zuo Si shook his head and said, "No one bullies me, I'm fine now."

She didn't want to chat with Alice about this matter, so she speeded up and ate up the food in front of her.

"The school bus is coming, I'm going to wait for the school bus first."

After finishing speaking, Zuo Si picked up the schoolbag on one side and prepared to leave.

"Stan, wait a minute."

Alice stopped Zuo Si, knowing that she didn't want to talk about her eyes, and Alice didn't force her to ask. Stan was already a 13-year-old boy, and it was normal for him to have his own secrets.

"It's raining, take an umbrella with you."

"Ah."

"Be careful on the road."

"Ah."

"Goodbye."

"Ah."

When he came out of the house, Zuo Si couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. Alice was a good person, but she was Stan's mother, not hers. Getting along with Alice would make her feel very awkward.

The relationship between the two of them must be maintained on a line, if it crosses that line, Zuo Si will feel uncomfortable.

Opening up the big red umbrella in his hand, Zuo Si walked into the rain curtain. The drizzle fell on the umbrella, making a rustling sound, as if insects were eating the umbrella cloth.

She didn't wear rain boots, and the rain on the ground came in through the gaps in the shoes. The cold rain soon soaked through her socks, and the wet socks stuck to her feet. Every time she took a step, she made a slight creaking sound.

She quickly walked to the platform. There were already many students waiting here. The umbrellas of different colors were like blooming flowers, dyeing the gray world with bright colors.

There were no acquaintances of Zuo Si in this group of children, she stood quietly at the back, watching the rain curtain in the distance in a daze.

"Stan!"

Ricky's voice came from behind, and Zuo Si turned his head to look over, only to see Ricky running over from a distance in the rain.

Zuo Si looked sideways at Ricky, his eyes fell on his rain-wet clothes, and he asked a little puzzled, "Why didn't you bring an umbrella?"

Ricky got under Zuo Si's umbrella and stood next to Zuo Si.

"I came out in a hurry in the morning. I forgot to bring it. Didn't you bring it? I'll just hold an umbrella with you."

Zuo Si hummed, but didn't say anything.

When he just ran over, his body was covered with a lot of rain. The rain did not look heavy, but in fact, the rain was fine. He just ran over from the door, his hair was already soaked, and the rain fell into his neck along the ends of his hair. She shrank her neck, feeling a little cold.

After sneezing several times in a row, he finally felt much more comfortable. Ricky sniffed, glanced at the big red umbrella above his head, and said with a bit of a mouth: "Stan, why do you think you are becoming more and more like a little girl?" Is it? Such a big red umbrella, only a little girl can hold it, right?"

Zuo Si lowered his head, glanced at the somewhat pale Ricky, and silently moved the umbrella to his side.

The cruel reality has taught Ricky to be a man.

"Ah, Stan, I was wrong, I was wrong, hold up the umbrella for me

! ! ! ! "

The school bus arrived soon, and the two got on the bus together with the flow of people, and sat down in the last row. Ricky looked at Zuo Si sadly, and murmured, "Stan, you've gone bad."

"Stan, that's not what you look like."

"Stan, I don't think I know you anymore."

Zuo Si looked at Ricky complaining indifferently, she really didn't know why this guy had so much to say.

After chatting for a long time, seeing that Zuo Si didn't respond, Ricky finally sensed that something was wrong, he scratched his head in embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "Stan, did I mean something wrong?" too much."

Zuo Si nodded.

Ricky: "..."

Ricky closed his mouth and stopped talking. Time passed by. Everyone else in the school bus was chatting lively, and only the two of them sat there so unembarrassed. Ricky felt very awkward. , After being quiet for less than 5 minutes, he couldn't help but ask, "Stan, what's wrong with you? Why have you been acting weird all day?"

What happened to her, she would not tell Alice, and naturally she would not tell Ricky, Zuo Si shook his head and lied: "I didn't sleep well last night."

Seeing Zuo Si's sleepy expression, he made it clear that he didn't want to talk more, Ricky didn't hesitate to chase after her and kept asking, he closed his mouth, and finally stopped talking this time.

After a while, the school bus drove into the school's parking lot, and Zuo Si and Ricky didn't get out of the car until everyone on the bus got off.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, Zuo Si held a red umbrella to cover himself and Ricky, the raindrops fell on the umbrella cloth, making a crackling sound.

Ricky glanced at the rain outside, with a worried look on his face.

"It's only been sunny for a few days. Why is it raining again? It's really annoying."

Zuo Si didn't say a word, and walked towards the teaching building with Ricky holding an umbrella.

It was raining heavily, both the students and the teachers walked in a hurry, the muddy water splashed on the ground, soaking their school uniforms and trousers.

The wet clothes were attached to the thighs, and the rough cloth rubbed against the delicate skin as it moved. The sore and numb feeling made people feel uncomfortable. Zuo Si frowned slowly, and subconsciously stretched out his hand and pulled it. Pull your own pants.

Ricky saw Zuo Si's movements, and held back for a long time before he uttered two sentences out of his mouth.

"Well, Stan, your pants are all wet. I have spare pants in my school. Let me change them for you right away?"

After being silent for a while, Do nodded and accepted Ricky's kindness.

"Well, thank you."

When he arrived at school, Ricky turned out the trousers that had been left at school some time ago, and handed them to Zuo Si. The trousers had been put on for a long time, and exuded an indescribable smell. Zuo Si looked at the trousers as if, After a moment of silence, she changed her mind and declined Ricky's offer to lend her clothes.

"Thank you Ricky, I don't think I need it now."

Ricky: "?????"

During today's class, Zuo Si was absent-minded all the time. She didn't know what she was thinking. Her mind seemed to be full of things, but at the same time, there seemed to be nothing.

Ricky, who was sitting on the other side, didn't pay attention to the class either. He almost focused all his attention on Zuo Si. He felt that his good friend seemed to be getting more and more strange.

Is he still Stan?

Ricky was taken aback by the thought, who would she be if she wasn't Stan?

He must be crazy to come up with such an idea. This is not a science fiction novel. Could it be that the person in front of him is a clone, a replicant, or a genetic creature made by some abnormal scientist?

Shaking his head, leaving those messy thoughts in his mind behind, Ricky exhaled a long breath, turned his head in one direction, and looked out the window.

It was still raining outside, and the raindrops fell on the windows, making a crackling sound.

There was a temperature difference between the outside and the inside of the house, and a thin layer of mist was covered on the glass windows, and the scenery outside became blurred. He could only hear the sound of rain, but he couldn't see what existed outside.

On rainy days, the air becomes damp, and the water vapor that fills the air diffuses everywhere, penetrating into their bodies through the pores, and their bodies, which originally felt very light, become bulky due to the excess water. .

What a nasty rainy day.

It rained continuously for three days, and when it finally cleared up on Friday, the few of them were already suffocating, so after school, they went directly to the grove outside the town.

Their dam was only half built, and the other half was not finished. Unfortunately, the rain came, and the half that was built was washed away by the rain, and some were destroyed.

Billy has a single-minded temperament. If he is sure about something, he will keep walking with his head depressed. He doesn't know which muscle is twisted. He only wants to build this useless dam. The children had no fun, so they took Billy's goal as their own.

Zuo Si has no interest in building a dam, but just looking for something to do with those friends. A few friends have made an appointment, and they will work together to build the dam in the past two days. Zuo Si also follows the trend and expresses I will be involved in this great project.

After getting along with each other for the past few days, Beverly's interest in Zuo Si has diminished, probably because she finally realized that Zuo Si is a boring guy. When she and Zuo Si stayed together, they could only chat awkwardly except for silence.

The little girl would not like a little boy like Zuo Si, so she quickly changed her interest and changed her target to Billy.

She probably had an innate liking for little boys with blond hair. The first Stan she fell in love with had blond hair, and the last Ricky she fell in love with also had blond hair.

But all of this has nothing to do with Zuo Si.

Beverly didn't come to look for her, and she didn't mean to look for Beverly. Their relationship was just normal, they were friends, and they were just friends.

In the past few days, Zuo Si's life was relatively ordinary. The guy who had been trying to get her to accompany it and float underground disappeared.

Zuo Si knew very well that when that thing pretended to be Alice that day, she wanted to kill it. However, the ending of that day was somewhat unsatisfactory. She didn't succeed in killing that thing. It escaped and hid in the into a dark corner.

That guy should be something born in this small town. It should have the ability to spy on people's thoughts, and then transform into things that person likes or fears according to what it sees.

It's just that Zuo Si didn't quite know why it did all this, was it purely a prank, or did it have some other purpose?

Before finding out what that thing was, she wasn't sure what it was trying to do.

Zuo Si had been busy at the dam until dark, and Zuo Si just went home with his friends.

Alice had already arrived home. Seeing Zuo Si who opened the door and entered, the expression on Alice's face became serious.

"Stan, where have you been? Why are you back so late?"

After being a Stan for so long, Zuo Si had never seen Alice showing such a serious expression. She walked over slowly and stopped two or three meters away from Alice.

Every time she came back these days, Alice would prepare dinner and wait for her. Today, the dining table was empty and there was nothing there. Alice sat on the chair at the dining table, looking at Zuo Si with a cold face.

"Stan, where have you been? Why did you come back so late."

She asked again, her tone a bit colder than before.

"I went to play with Ricky and the others."

The construction of the dam is a secret among several friends, and she promised them not to tell it.

"With Ricky and the others? Who else but Ricky?"

This is not a secret, it's okay to say it, Zuo Si said honestly: "There are also Billy, Eddie, Ben and Beverly."

Every time she said a name, the cold expression on Alice's face became less. When Zuo Si said that she had always been with those friends and never acted alone, Alice breathed a sigh of relief. Said: "Stan, you listen to your mother, it's best to come back earlier these days, and don't stay outside for too long."

Zuo Si was silent for a while, then looked up at Alice: "Did something happen?"

Alice's eyes flickered for a moment, she shook her head, and said, "No, what can happen in a small place like Derry? You are already in the sixth grade, and you will soon become a junior high school student. It's tight, if you are at home, you can read more books, I heard from Teacher Daniel that your grades have shown signs of decline recently."

Stan's grades are excellent, but although Zuo Si has become Stan and has all of Stan's memories, IQ is not something that can be inherited with memories.

She was a little ashamed and lowered her head.

"sorry."

Obviously, she also listened to the lectures in class, and wrote homework seriously, but her talent was really not high, and she couldn't reach the level that Stan had reached.

Seeing Zuo Si's pitiful appearance, Alice's heart instantly softened. She stood up and walked towards Zuo Si.

Stretching out his arms, before Zuo Si could react, he hugged her into his arms.

"Stan, you are the only mother, I hope you can grow up healthy and healthy."

Zuo Si's body stiffened, Alice's embrace was very warm, her tone was very gentle, Zuo Si leaned in her arms, his body slowly softened.

"I will."

She will grow up to be a healthy adult.

In the following weekends, Zuo Si continued to build the dam with his friends. After two full days of busy work, the dam was finally completed.

Several friends cheered, as if they had accomplished some great task, even Zuo Si had a few smiles on his face.

I have been working hard for one thing, and when the expected results are achieved, the sense of satisfaction cannot be described in words.

The dam has been repaired, although it is a miniature dam, but according to Billy, this dam can intercept the water of this creek, and in time, it can overflow the lawn not far away, and the pool next to the water tower connected together.

"We've done a big job."

Billy concluded with one sentence.

The friends cheered again, and to celebrate, Billy rode his bicycle to the store in the town and bought some popsicles for everyone.

Six people sat on the fallen tree stump by the pool, chatting with each other.

Zuo Si sat next to him, silently eating a sweet popsicle.

"What are you doing here?"

A voice came over suddenly, and the friends were startled, and immediately jumped off the tree trunk.

The person standing on the small dirt slope opposite was Police Officer Nair from the town. He frowned and looked at the children below, then turned his eyes and landed on the small dam behind.

"What are you building a dam here for? Could it be that you want to flood the town?"

Several children hurriedly shook their heads: "Officer Nair, you misunderstood."

"It's not like that, Officer Nile."

After all, they were children, and Police Officer Nair was an adult and a policeman. They would feel a little afraid of him in their hearts.

Officer Nair waved his hand and continued: "The town is not peaceful recently, and several children have disappeared. When you go out to play, you'd better go together. You must go home before dark."

Hearing Police Officer Nair say that a child had disappeared in the town recently, Zuo Si's expression moved, and she fell into deep thought when she remembered what Alice had told her.

Got a child missing?Could these things have something to do with the clown Ricky met, and the thing she met?

Officer Nair explained a few more words before leaving.

After he walked away, Beverly breathed a sigh of relief, her body softened, and she leaned against the tree stump behind her.

"Oh my god, Officer Nair really scared me. Who would have thought that he would appear out of nowhere."

Ben leaned against my Beverly and stood there next to her.

"Yeah, I was really scared just now, thinking that Officer Nair would let us remove the dam."

Eddie pushed his glasses, and looked at Billy next to him worriedly, afraid that he would remember those sad things.

The smiles on Billy's face disappeared, and he looked in the direction of Xiao Tupo, lost in thought.

Eddie sighed, walked over and put his arm around Billy's shoulders.

"It's over, Billy."

Billy turned his head and glanced at Eddie, showing a smile that was not much better than crying: "I'm fine, Eddie."

The originally happy atmosphere has become a bit weird. Everyone originally wanted to stay here and chat for a while, but now it has become like this, and everyone is not in the mood to chat. After a few words, they each return home.

She came back early today. Alice was sitting on the sofa reading a book. When she heard the door open, Alice looked up.

"Stan, are you back?"

Zuo Si nodded, she walked over slowly, and sat down beside Alice.

Alice closed the book in her hand and looked up at Zuo Si.

"Stan, what's wrong?"

After being silent for a while, Zuo Si still asked out his doubts.

Based on her IQ, if she only thinks on her own, it may take a lot of effort, and sometimes she has to rely on the information she gets from others to infer many things.

"Mom, are there a lot of children missing in the town recently?"

As soon as Zuo Si asked, the expression on Alice's face changed immediately, she sat up straight, and blurted out: "Who told you these things?"

"It's Officer Nair. We were playing in the grove. He suddenly appeared and told us, and said something similar to my mother." Zuo Si paused, and then continued to ask: "Are there a lot of children in the town recently?" Missing? Or, not missing, but dead?"

Alice looked a little anxious, and she took a few breaths to calm herself down.

"These things have nothing to do with you, Stan, you don't have to think about these things that have nothing to do with you. All you have to do is to study hard and grow up safely and healthily. This is what you should do."

Alice didn't want to talk too much about this matter. Her attitude of avoiding talking about it made Zuo Si feel a little strange. She always asked her to pay attention to it, but she didn't tell her to pay attention to some things, those things that could not be said Something, is it a secret, or is there some other reason?

Zuo Si didn't know, she was still wanting to ask, Alice got up and went to the kitchen under the pretext of cooking, but she didn't have time to ask what she wanted to ask, the person who asked had already left.

It seems that those things that Alice knows, don't want her to know.

why?

Zuo Si Si didn't understand, she turned her head and glanced at Alice standing in front of the kitchen sink in a daze, she didn't say anything, and turned back to her room upstairs.

Although she didn't ask anything useful, it can be seen from Alice's reaction that she should know something.

Zuo Si rubbed the center of her brows, she had a premonition that there was an 80.00% possibility that this incident had something to do with the thing she encountered.

It seems that the purpose of that thing is not a prank, but a hunt.

The possibility of those missing children surviving is less than [-]%. Zuo thought about the balloons that had been held in her hand all the time, and the immature faces that were revealed when those balloons turned around that day, she felt very sad in her heart. uncomfortable.

The missing ones seem to be children. Could it be that that thing feeds on children?

When eating dinner, Zuo Si was still absent-minded and kept thinking about the monster. Seeing Zuo Si like this, Alice couldn't help but said, "Stan, what are you thinking about?"

Hearing Alice's words, Zuo Si raised his head and looked at Alice with a worried face.

"I'm not thinking about anything."

She didn't mean to tell Alice what she was thinking, Alice wouldn't tell her what she knew, and in such a situation, telling Alice what she was thinking would only cause more trouble .

The conversation between the two ended here, until after the meal, before Zuo Si was about to go back to the room, Alice finally spoke.

"Stan, it's for your own good that mom doesn't tell you. Those are things that have nothing to do with you. You don't have to worry about them at all."

Zuo Si hummed, and said without looking back, "I see."

"Then you go back to sleep and rest early."

"it is good."

While waiting for the school bus the next day, Ricky came to Zuo Si's side again. His face was abnormally pale, and there was only an extremely light layer of blood on his lips. He looked like he was overly frightened appearance.

"Stan, I saw that thing again."

Zuo Si looked at Ricky a little strangely, not quite understanding what he meant: "Did you see that thing again? What is it?"

Ricky's face turned even paler, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

"Werewolves, clowns, no, clowns, no, werewolves..."

Ricky is a little incoherent. Although he has experienced it once, he will still feel fear and fear when he experiences it again. The scene that happened last night kept reappearing in front of his eyes. He obviously wanted to forget, but those pictures always It was uncontrollably appearing in front of her eyes.

"Stan, I'm scared."

Ricky performed better this time than last time, and he was not so frightened that he cried out. He kept moving closer to Zuo Si, as if he wanted to shrink into Zuo Si's arms.

Seeing that the school bus had already driven in front of the two of them, Zuo Si half-supported and half-hugged Ricky onto the school bus.

"what's going on?"

Probably because Zuo Si's appearance was too calm and calm, Ricky sat next to her, the heat from Zuo Si's body was continuously transmitted to Ricky's body, his tense body slowly eased, and the fear in his heart It also dissipated a lot.

"I saw that werewolf again. It was scary. It was really scary. He kept telling me to go with him. If I didn't go, he would eat me."

Zuo Si looked at Rich and asked, "You promised him?"

Hearing this sentence, Ricky shook his head violently: "How is it possible? Although I am very scared, how can I agree to such a thing casually?"

"You did very well."

Zuo Si praised him, but this compliment did not make Ricky's tense mood any better.

"It's such a time, and you still tell me this? Stan, what do you think I should do? What is that thing? What is that clown, that clown that can turn into a werewolf?"

It was very noisy inside the carriage, Ricky deliberately lowered his voice, and did not let the people in front hear these words.

Zuo Si stared at Ricky for a long time, and when Ricky was about to be shown by her, she suddenly asked, "Ricky, tell me the truth, are werewolves the thing you are most afraid of?"

Ricky was stunned. After a long time, he finally mustered up the courage and said, "Well, yes, werewolves are the thing I'm most afraid of."

Stan is his best friend, and Stan saw his embarrassment last time, telling her what he is afraid of is not a shameful thing.

After hearing Rich's words, Zuo Si fell into deep thought.

Ricky saw that Zuo Si was thinking about something, so he obediently stayed aside without speaking.

After a long time, Zuo Si raised his head and turned his attention to Ricky: "Ricky, I don't think a werewolf is the original face of that thing, but a clown should be its original face. The reason why it turned into a werewolf is because Because you're afraid of werewolves, that's why it looks like the thing you're most afraid of."

Ricky's eyes widened. He was smarter than Zuo Si, and he quickly understood the meaning of Zuo Si's words: "Stan, what do you mean, that thing can see what people are thinking?"

"Ah."
