Quenched long order

Chapter 222 People in the Tower

Faced with April's threat, Daniel raised his hands and said apologetically:

"Miss April, I don't want to see such a result, but you must have seen that this town is so weird now. Some trivial actions may cause a storm in the town. Even if you kill me, it won't help. We need to work together and maybe we can find a way to escape from the town."

While speaking, Daniel kept explaining April, a girl whose face no longer looked immature.

Same goes for April.

After a brief silence, the two sides seemed to be in a temporary stalemate. However, this did not last long because the ceiling of the tavern began to shake. Perhaps, it is inappropriate to describe it as shaking. Strictly speaking, it was dancing, and the hard wooden boards were like snakes. Crawling, twisting from side to side.

If this continues, the entire tavern will collapse.

April took a deep breath and released her left hand.

"Let's go out first." Daniel stood up, but this time, the tavern was not shrouded in darkness.

April noticed this but didn't mention it.

The three of them left the tavern and came to the dark street. The cold and silence continued to intertwine and surrounded the three of them.

The tavern gradually collapsed, and heavy wooden boards fell, smashing the wine tables and hitting the bar.

"That man..." Mark thought of the man standing behind the bar.

"Don't worry." Daniel's low and magnetic voice was hidden in the cold wind and blew into their ears. "He won't die... No, that may not be appropriate to say. To be precise, he has already been with this person." The town merges into one and becomes a part of the town, so it will not die, but it will not be able to detect the weirdness of the town. Do you understand what I say? Even if we discuss the weirdness of this town in front of their eyes, even if we will The facts are before them, but they seem unable to see or understand them, and they don’t even regard us as weirdos.”

Eerie, depressing, terrifying and deadly silent.

This strange town becomes even stranger after getting to know it.

Mark shrank his neck and turned to look at Daniel, with a hint of worry in his eyes. At the age of 8, he could already understand some things:

"Mr. Daniel, what would happen if...if we stayed in the town?"

On the way, he swallowed. It seemed that at this moment, he had an illusion that as long as he didn't ask, the result would not happen.

April felt Mark's fear. Mark's hand tightly grasped her palm, as if he was afraid that she would disappear in the next second.

"Ahem." Daniel coughed twice and looked up at the dark night sky. The howling in the wind was like an evil spirit wailing. He looked away and replied in serious and clear words:

"We will become like the bartender, a part of this town, never able to escape, no, not even aware of the weirdness of this town, and then everything will be taken for granted to us, When the next victim comes here, we may, like the bartender, become objects in the eyes of the new victim, constantly changing through various incomprehensible causal connections, sometimes living and sometimes dying.”

Daniel's words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the hope in Mark's eyes.

In less than an hour from entering Twin Towers Town to now, despair has enveloped the entire night sky like a curtain.

"Mark, it's okay." April comforted her, but her comfort seemed so weak, like a dead branch holding up a boulder, shaky and ready to break at any time.

Mark hugged April's waist, buried his head in April's belly, and said a vague apology, "I'm sorry."

April touched Mark's head with her left hand and did not answer. She turned to look in the direction she came from, but was blocked by Daniel. At this time, Daniel was looking at the two siblings, and April's face showed displeasure. With an expression on his face, he looked beyond Daniel and looked farther away.

The road out of town is winding.

If I hadn't come in at that time, would the situation have been different?

The thought crossed her mind, but for some reason she thought the answer was no.

Suddenly, an idea came to her mind, so she quickly asked:

"Daniel, how do you know this? How long have you been here?"

The weirdness of Twin Towers Town attracted her attention, causing her to relax her vigilance towards the strange man in front of her.

"Although this is the first time you have met me, in fact, this is not the first time I have met you. These things were actually told to me by you." After Daniel finished speaking, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

The gentle tone was like a steel knife thrust into their chests.

"I don't understand." Mark loosened his hands and looked into Daniel's confused eyes.

"I am a mystic and a temperer, but my ability is not focused on fighting like Miss April, but, how to explain... I can peek into a person's memory, don't be nervous , the process is very complicated, and you definitely need permission to do it." Daniel spread his hands, with helplessness written all over his face.

"Then what?" April crossed her arms on her chest.

"Actually, like you, I came to Twin Towers Town by mistake, and now I'm trying to figure out how to save myself." As he spoke, Daniel sighed.

"Why didn't you tell us earlier?" Mark asked.

"Mark, your sister is not as trusting as you." Daniel laughed dryly, the ice pick just now still vivid in his mind. "Sister won't hit anyone casually. It wasn't because you were pretending to be mysterious that you did it. If you had told us earlier, there would have been no misunderstanding." Mark pouted, a little angry, but his childish face made him angry. It doesn't look intimidating, but a little cute.

"Then...where did you meet us before?" April's expression remained the same.

"There." Daniel pointed to the darkness not far away.

April took two steps back, distanced herself from Daniel, and then turned her head to look into the darkness. In the darkness of Twin Towers Town, a tall tower loomed.

"Twin Tower Town..."

She said softly.

Daniel lowered his eyebrows and said in a solemn tone: "It's hard for me to explain. Let's go and take a look. Then you will understand everything."

……

The three of them walked towards the tower in the darkness.

April looked ahead. For some reason, she felt that the closer she got to the tower, the stronger the strange feeling in her heart became. This feeling was like an auditory hallucination in her ears before an earthquake, or the moment of palpitations before danger. Like a warning from the spirit, she would have followed this unspeakable premonition of danger outside the town of Twin Towers, but now, she had no choice.

When Daniel proposed to go to the tower, April did not agree. Instead, she and Mark tried to leave the town of Twin Towers. As a result, as Daniel said before, no matter which way or backwards, they could not leave. This eerie and silent town.

The tower is the only target.

Black, but like a bright light.

The tower is located on the edge of Twin Towers Town, with relatively few houses around it. The color of the tower tends to be purple-black, almost blending in with the night, but its looming outline can always be seen in the darkness.

April looked up at the fifty-foot tower in front of her, and was surprised to find that there was a dilapidated house below the tower. The house was badly damaged, and most of the place was occupied by the tower. It seemed that this tower happened to be the same as this one. Houses compete for the land beneath their feet.

"Enter here." Daniel stood under the tower.

April stared in the direction of Daniel's finger, but didn't see any door.

When she got closer, she discovered a long and narrow gap that could allow a person to pass through. The gap had a weird shape. For some reason, she felt that the gap looked like a mouth.

Daniel walked in through the gap, leaving the two of them outside the tower.

Mark glanced at April.

April held Mark's hand and walked towards the gap.

When she arrived at the tower, she felt that the tower in front of her was not made of stones. The entire outer wall was streamlined, like twisted paper. More importantly, there were almost no gaps to distinguish the stones. , as if this tower was not built piece by piece, but was originally built like this.

"Don't worry, it's safe inside." Daniel's voice came from the gap.

April held Mark's hand tightly and walked in through the gap.

What surprised her was that the gap did not feel hard. On the contrary, it had a unique feeling of hard on the outside and soft on the inside. It was not a stone, but like... a piece of meat.

The two people squeezed in through the gap. During the whole process, the imagined crowding did not appear. When the body entered one third of the way, the gap seemed to have a suction force, sucking the two people in easily.

Inside the tower, there is a yellowish light that emanates from within.

April was about to observe the inner wall, but her eyes caught a glimpse of Daniel...and the two stiff corpses sitting next to Daniel.

"Ah!" Mark also saw it, and he couldn't help but scream.

The two corpses wore the same clothes as April and Mark, which were made of warm fur. Not only that, but their body shapes were almost exactly the same.

April suppressed her inner fear and walked over slowly.

As the distance got closer, the stiffened faces of the two corpses became clearer, and they were exactly the same as the two people who had just entered the slit.

"As I said just now, this is not the first time I have seen you." Daniel stood a little aside.

April's pupils shrank, staring closely at the two corpses sitting on the ground.

Daniel did say what he just said, but he did not say that what he saw was a corpse.
