Zuo Si ate much faster than Alice. She had already eaten all the food in front of her, while Alice on the opposite side had only eaten half of it.

Being with Alice felt better than being alone. When Zuo Si was alone, he was always prone to thinking wildly, and he just couldn't think of any way to solve those crazy things.

There is a word called mediocrity, which is the most appropriate to describe her.

Instead of going back to the room and thinking wildly, it would be better to stay with Alice and not think about anything.

After a while, Alice also finished her food. She wiped her mouth and looked up. Seeing that Zuo Si was still sitting there, Alice raised her eyebrows and asked strangely: "Stan, Why didn't you go back to your room?"

Zuo Si blinked and replied honestly: "I want to stay with you for a while."

Hearing Zuo Si's words, Alice was stunned for a moment, and then a doting smile appeared on her face: "You child..."

Her son wanted to stay with her, so there was no reason to drive him back. Alice put the dishes on the table into the sink in the kitchen. She was not busy washing the dishes. After putting them in, she left the kitchen , and then sat down on the chair opposite Zuo Si.

She looked at Zuo Si who was lazily sitting there with a smile on her face, and asked, "Stan, why did you remember to sit with your mother for a while today?"

Alice's appearance is that kind of very gentle type. When she smiles, there are shallow pear dimples on her cheeks, giving people a sweet feeling, making people feel very warm and comfortable.

Although Alice concealed a lot of things and refused to tell Zuo Si, Zuo Si knew that she didn't have any malicious intentions, she was just protecting her child.

Zuo Si sat there, she thought for a while, and was about to inquire around, to see if she could get the information she wanted to know.

"Mom, wasn't Derry very prosperous in the past?"

Alice nodded and said, "Yes, Derry used to be a very prosperous town. Many people built factories and mines here. The town is not as deserted as it is now. I remember when I was young, Even at night, the streets are always full of people."

Alice is from the town of Derry. She was born in this place, grew up in this place, married and had children in this place. She knows a lot about the town of Derry.

Once the conversation started, Alice began to talk about it, and she hadn't said these things to anyone for a long time.

Alice kept talking about the past, Zuo Si didn't feel bored, she listened patiently to Alice's past.

After what Alice said came to an end, Zuo Si just asked, "What happened later? How did Derry become desolate?"

In Stan's memory, when he was born, Derry was in this clear and cold state. Without those factories and mines, there would be no workers here. How many local residents would there be in a small town like Derry? indivual?

Zuo Si thinks that all of this should have something to do with the monster that turned into a clown. Maybe the prey of that clown used to be adults, too many people died, and too many things happened, which led to the relocation of factories and the like. .

Or it is precisely because of this reason that that thing will replace the recipe with children. After all, children are very fragile and will always die due to various accidents.

These are all guessed by Zuo Si, she thinks it is reasonable, after all, hunting adults is a very dangerous thing, adults will run away and resist, maybe it is afraid that they will be killed by adults.

Zuo Si was thinking wildly there, and soon, she realized that she seemed to be thinking a little too much, she hurriedly pulled her thoughts back, and then turned her attention to Alice on the opposite side, waiting her answer.

Alice originally had a smile on her face, but when Zuo Si asked why Derry became desolate, those smiles on her face disappeared, and something appeared in her eyes, just when Zuo Si thought she would While telling herself something, Alice changed the subject.

"Stan, did you do your homework?"

Zuo Si: "...No."

"It's time for you to go back and do your homework. Finish it early, go to bed early, and get up early to go to school tomorrow."

After going around in a big circle, Alice still didn't tell her anything. Zuo Si sighed inexplicably, but there was no solution. Alice didn't want to say anything, and she couldn't find a way to formulate something out of it. .

Just from her attitude, Zuo Si could be sure that Alice definitely knew something.

In other words, people of Alice's age knew something.

What are those things that they deliberately concealed and refused to say?

The originally warm and harmonious atmosphere turned cold, and the warm smile disappeared from Alice's face. Her expression was full of defense, and there seemed to be something hidden in the eyes of Zuo Si that she couldn't see clearly.

Zuo Sisi wanted to see what those things were, but obviously, Alice didn't want her to see them. She stood up, and the sense of repulsion emanating from her body was even stronger. She seemed to be suppressing something and refused to let her see it. Tell Zuo Si the secret things she knows.

"Go upstairs," she said, and a few seconds later she added: "All this will pass, soon."

After saying such endless words, Alice turned around and went into the kitchen. The sound of splashing water came from the kitchen, and the crisp sound of the bowls and plates colliding seemed to fall on Zuo Si's body.

She felt heavy in her heart, as if something was being suppressed. Those things were brewing and fermenting in her body, and they would gushe out at some point, engulfing her whole body.

Zuo Si couldn't understand Alice's concealment at all.

If she knew about that clown, about that monster, why wouldn't she tell?

She sat on the chair for a long time, and the sound of water in the kitchen had stopped, but Alice did not come out of it.

It was already dark, the lights in the kitchen were not turned on, and the people inside did not make a sound.

The lights in the restaurant were on, but the warm light couldn't penetrate the darkness and shone into that space, as if there was an invisible barrier blocking it, separating the restaurant and the kitchen into two worlds.

Zuo Si knew that Alice was avoiding her on purpose. If she continued to stay here, Alice would stay hidden in the kitchen forever. She sighed, stood up, and walked upstairs slowly.

Children even have secrets they don't want to tell adults, and things they want to hide, let alone adults?

Don't want to say, can't say, don't want to say.

No matter what the reason was, she couldn't get the truth from Alice's mouth.

The stairs going upstairs were still creaking, as if they could not bear her weight and would collapse at any moment.

Zuo Si knew that it was just her illusion. These stairs looked like they might collapse at any moment. After stepping on them for so long, there was no sign of collapse. Even the creaking sound was no different from the first time. .

Zuo Si suddenly felt that maybe the creaking sound was the sound of the stairs speaking, a language completely different from that of human beings, and to human ears, it was just those meaningless creaking sounds.

The stairs were not long, and she walked through them quickly. Standing at the stairs on the second floor, Zuo Si felt something strange in her heart. She turned her head and saw Alice standing under the stairs looking at her.

From such a long distance, Zuo Si could clearly see the expression on her face.

She froze, opened her mouth, and wanted to say something, but finally found that she didn't seem to have anything to say. She turned around and walked towards the room. The gaze that was glued to her disappeared. Zuo Si breathed a sigh of relief, feeling heavy in his heart.

That night, Zuo Si slept very restlessly, and went downstairs with two big dark circles under his eyes the next day.

One night passed, and yesterday's events seemed to be turned around. The Alice who was full of defense against her disappeared, and she returned to that gentle mother.

The two of them had a very tacit understanding of what happened yesterday, and neither of them mentioned it. The two just maintained a superficial calm.

After breakfast, Zuo Si talked to Alice, left the house, and went to stop for the school bus.

Beverly and Ricky have already arrived, and they also have big dark circles on their faces. It can be seen that they didn't sleep well yesterday.

When the three meet, you look at me, I look at you, and suddenly burst out laughing.

Ricky pointed to the dark circles on Zuo Si's face and laughed loudly: "Stan, I thought you wouldn't be afraid, so you are too..."

Zuo Si looked too calm before, as if those terrible experiences were nothing to her, which made Ricky feel very unreal, and felt that Zuo Si was different from them, and even felt that Zuo Si and them were not a species , Now that Zuo Si appeared like them with two dark circles under his eyes, Ricky really felt that Zuo Si was the same as them.

Zuo Si looked at Ricky and said solemnly, "I'm not afraid."

Ricky put his arms around Zuo Si's shoulder: "Okay, okay, you are not afraid, you are the bravest."

Zuo Si: "..."

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Beverly who was standing next to her burst out laughing, and the depression accumulated between her brows decreased a lot.

After deciding to deal with the monster, the seven of them would often gather together after school to share the useful information they had collected.

Billy and Mike are the brains of the team, pulling all the data together and picking out what works and putting it together.

In the past week, two children have disappeared one after another. Mike said that this is the second missing case of No.30 in the past few months.

"In addition to these missing children, I also found other things. In the past few months, more than 20 children died."

Billy opened the notebook in his hand, took a deep breath, and continued, "Among the 26 children, only two died of illness, and the remaining 24 died of accidents."

Having said that, Billy's emotions became a little agitated. He thought of his dead brother George, and his eyes turned red instantly.

George's arm was forcibly ripped off, and he lost blood and died. They called the police, but the police said that George's death was an accident. The case was closed soon, and no one continued to investigate. George was so unclear. Died in vain.

Billy thought that was just an exception, but when he started investigating, he realized that those were not exceptions.

The 24 children died in all kinds of strange ways, but in the end the conclusions given by the police were all accidents.

In this world, where are there so many accidents?

Billy couldn't go on talking anymore, so Mike replaced Billy and continued to tell the things he investigated.

"So far, we can basically be sure that those missing or dead children are related to that monster. The adults in the town should know about the clown, so they closed the case in a hurry and refused to investigate."

This is something that a few half-grown children can't understand at all. If those adults know about that monster, why don't they go out and kill that monster?Why let it devour those innocent children over and over again?

The seven people were in the abandoned mine on the back mountain of the school. The place here is spacious and the view is very good. If someone comes, they can see it at a glance. They don't have to worry about what they are discussing being heard.

Eddie huddled beside Billy, his expression was a little cowering, obviously he had a great psychological shadow on that terrible monster.

"Will that monster be raised by those people? Just like in the movie, they keep the monster as a pet, and we children are the rations of that pet..."

As Eddie spoke, he almost burst into tears. He was terrified and terrified. It was obviously just his guesses, but he took those guesses as reality and let the fear swallow him up.

Several other people were also frightened by what Eddie said, but Billy was the first to wake up, he shook his head, and said firmly: "It can't be like this, from what we got now It can be inferred from the information that the monster should have existed for a very long time, at least more than 100 years old, if it was really raised by humans, who can raise it for such a long time?"

The rest of the friends nodded, thinking that what Billy said made sense.

Zuo Si also felt that the monster was not raised by humans. If it was raised by humans, what purpose did the people who raised it have?That monster seems to be very capable, but Zuo Si has fought against it a few times, and he knows that the monster can only cause people to hallucinate. Kill that monster.

After all, if the ability is very strong, it will directly eat people, so why do you need to make so many twists and turns?

There should be other reasons why adults avoid talking about this matter.

Mike glanced at Billy, spread out the book in his hand, and motioned for Zuo Si and the others to come over. After they all gathered around, Mike pointed to the densely packed materials written on the book and said: "Since there are records, Derry Every 30 years, something big happens in the small town, and almost every time a lot of people die, and almost every time there are no bones left.”

Mike circled the data with a pen, and continued: "This small town of ours is most likely its hunting ground. It will appear every 30 years and take countless lives. These events are ultimately without exception. , all ended in accidents."

Billy took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions: "This is definitely not a coincidence. In the past 100 years, there should be many people like us who have seen that monster and survived. They know it is What happened, but I chose not to say it, maybe because I thought they would not be the opponent of that monster, and thought that after a period of time, the monster would leave soon, and then they would have another 30 years of peaceful life You can pass."

Billy's guess is very reliable. After all, the older people are, the more things they think about, and they will lose the courage to move forward.

Mike asked the few of them in detail about what happened when they met the monster. He wrote and drew on the notebook, and quickly wrote a large piece. Everyone gathered around and didn't dare to disturb his thoughts.

After about ten minutes, Mike finally finished writing. He took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked at Zuo Si and the others.

He didn't go around the corner, and said directly: "That monster seems to appear anywhere in the town. According to my analysis, that monster is likely to exist in Derry's sewer."

The sewers extend in all directions, and can reach any place in Derry, and the space inside the sewers is large enough. After the monster catches its prey, it can be brought into the sewers.

Billy felt that Mike's reasoning was very reasonable, because his younger brother George was found at the entrance of the sewer. He clenched his fist and said angrily, "We must kill it, we can't let it live in this small town." Ramp up."
