The Demon’s Menu

He He……

The voice was stuck in the throat of the young police officer, like a hard stuff, until Bundy's eyes swept over, the young police officer spit out loudly.

he died.

Suddenly, Jason saw Bundy clench his fists.

where?

Bundy asked bluntly.

Cross Square!

The young policeman answered.

Without further ado, Bundy walked straight out, and Jason followed quickly.

The anxious Bundy did not choose to walk, and the sheriff took Jason directly into the carriage.

The young police officer was in charge of the car.

With the sound of the whip, the carriage drove straight to Kensington Street.

Kensing Street, Lord's once and now most prosperous street, can pass two carriages side by side, and at this moment, when facing the carriage with the police badge, all the vehicles are even more avoided.

Like lightning, the carriage drove through the streets filled with dense shops and came to the center of Kensington Street: Cross Square.

Unlike the streets with all kinds of traditional or emerging shops, the Cross Square is wide enough, and the most eye-catching is the 20-meter-high clock tower.

At this moment, whether it was the gentlemen in black tuxedos and the same-colored silk top hats, or the ladies with lace cuffs, or the ordinary people with long sleeves and sarongs, they all looked at the clock tower, and their eyes were full of horror. .

An incomplete body hangs there.

The head was inserted at the highest point, and the limbs were interspersed on the pillars below.

Jason jumped out of the carriage and saw the body at a glance.

follow me!

Bundy said, and rushed to the clock tower, followed by Jason.

Sir!

Sir!

After the police officers who blocked the crowd saluted Bundy one after another, they made way for Bundy and Jason to pass through the interior of the clock tower.

The door of the clock tower has been opened.

The door lock was hung on the iron fence gate, and there was no sign of damage.

The ground is messy, and building materials and tools such as masonry are piled up at random.

In order to make the city of Lord look more modern, the mayor is going to install a clock for this century-old clock tower: on the premise of retaining the 'clock', it is sealed on all sides, and the hour, minute, and second hands are installed.

According to the process, it will be completed by the end of the month.

However, this time, it seems that it has to be postponed.

Bundy immediately explained when he saw Jason who was looking at those building materials.

Jason nodded, didn't ask any further questions, and continued up behind Bundy.

The stairs are wooden and very old, and there will be creaking and creaking noises when you step on them.

This made Jason even more careful.

He didn't want to step on his heels.

After three turns, Jason came to the top of the clock tower.

Here, you can see the entire city of Lord, with busy construction sites and busy people everywhere, a thriving look. It would be better if there were no arms, legs and feet on the pillars.

The arms, legs and feet were pierced by iron drills and plunged into two of the four pillars of the bell tower, while the head was simply inserted into the lightning rod on the top of the building. Eyes looking at the sky.

Undoubtedly, the unfortunate man's celestial cover was pierced.

It is worth noting that, like the head down, the arms, legs and feet are opposite.

Simply put, the left arm and leg are placed on the right, and the right is placed on the left column.

Climbing with the rope ladder, Jason, who checked the situation, returned to the clock tower again.

Have you found anything?

Bundy asked immediately.

Facing the sheriff's expectant gaze,

After thinking about it, Jason said: We should have been deceived last night, what it wants to do is this, the little monster I killed was to attract our attention, and at the same time... also to test me. .

Saying that, Jason paused.

Besides you, who else knows the news of my coming here?

he asked.

Are you suspicious of my subordinates?

impossible!

They are all loyal and reliable people.

Bundy froze for a moment, then immediately retorted.

For such a rebuttal, Jason had reservations, just like the sheriff in front of him.

A year in the city that never sleeps had taught him not to trust strangers.

Ignoring the sheriff, Jason continued to ask.

Did the people here find anything?

Since this place is being remodeled, people will naturally be left behind.

Even at night, there should be people on duty.

Finch?

cried Bundy.

Immediately, they had been informed before, the young police officer who was driving for them ran over.

The young police officer in a police uniform stood up straight, saluted Bundy, and then nodded to Jason.

The other party has thick eyebrows, bright eyes, and a more immature face with a seriousness similar to Bundy. Even the walking and standing postures are somewhat similar to Bundy.

imitate?

Jason guessed.

There is no doubt that this is a young man who idolizes Bundy.

Did the people here see anything?

Bundy asked bluntly.

No!

The night man was very drunk yesterday.

In fact, if it wasn't after dawn, the people outside the clock tower found out that he was still drunk.

Finch replied.

call, call.

Such an answer made the sheriff's breathing quicken for a few minutes. He blushed and his fists were clenched. However, after a while, the other party stood there like a deflated ball.

Obviously, the sheriff understood that it was extremely unwise to get angry at an alcoholic.

Let the painter come, and you help record everything here.

Bundy said to the young man.

Yes, sir.

The young man salutes again.

Bundy nodded and walked down.

There are more and more people gathered under the clock tower, and he needs to come forward to solve it, and the reporter who came to hear the news needs him to be able to deal with it. He doesn't want the young people under him to do anything unnecessary because of impulsiveness. mistake.

Jason didn't follow him this time.

He's not good at dealing with those.

Your Excellency Jason.

The young man suddenly spoke up.

Um?

Jason looked at each other.

We all know the news of your arrival-because, with regard to Punk and the others, everyone has been in a panic these days, and the sir hopes that we can feel at ease.

But please don't misunderstand sir.

He's a nice guy who deserves the most respect.

The young man stressed.

Um.

Jason nodded to show his understanding, but this didn't make Jason relax his vigilance. He stared at the young man for three full seconds. After the other party felt uneasy, he spoke again.

Do you know who was the first to show panic?

Or……

Who was the first person to say these things?

Jason made his voice low, and the way he spoke was to spit out word by word.

Undoubtedly, this way of questioning is full of oppression.

The young man, who was already a little uneasy, immediately became nervous.

Yes...Joff!

Yes, it's Joff!

When the second case happened, he said in the cafeteria, 'Where could it be done by humans, it must be those legendary monsters'!

After thinking for a moment, the young man said with certainty.

Joff was the third police officer killed, the one with only one head left.

Jason took the name down again.

Then he went on to ask:

What do you think of 'those legendary monsters'?

As you described, it should only exist in legends and stories.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes...I wouldn't have believed such a thing at all.

The young man smiled wryly.

Sure enough, these existences have been unknown to ordinary people for a long time, but they are not secrets to some people!

Jason is pretty sure of that.

Otherwise, the sheriff would not have asked for help from his 'night watchman'.

The existence of the 'Night Watchman' proves that the world in front of us is divided into 'outside' and 'inside'.

table, as it is known.

As for Li?

That is……

boom!

A gunshot interrupted Jason's thoughts.

The gunshots came from under the bell tower.

Jason immediately stuck his head out, and saw the sheriff fell in a pool of blood, surrounded by chaos, and they avoided a gun-wielding figure, making the other party extremely conspicuous.

Jason pulled out a gun directly.

But before he could aim and shoot, a greasy 'rope' was wrapped around his neck and tightened suddenly.
