Hearing this, the crowd stopped moving, and an old man about seventy years old came out from the crowd. The old man with an old look, with white hair, a bent back, and a walking stick in his hand, walked out.

Although the old man looked very old, his eyes were extremely sharp. Kent was stared at by the old man, a little annoyed but also a little scared. Just now, Kent, of course, seeing that the old man only needed to shout once, these people stopped, which shows that this old man's position is not low.

"Is it the Mayor?" Kent thought. After all, only the Mayor could make all the others obey.

“Are you from outside?” The old man spoke, his voice hoarse, making it a little difficult for Kent to hear the words, but he was reluctant to hear them.

"Outside? You mean from outside this town?” Kent asked again, even though he talked to the old man, his hand still held the jungle knife to prevent the crowd around suddenly going mad to attack him.

The old man listened to Kent's words and did not respond, but just stared at him as if he were some strange creature. Although Kent is scared, he thinks that now that he shows his fear outside, the people around him will definitely notice this, if there is a negotiation, he will not be able to capture any whatever good place. That's why Kent tries to appear calm.

After a while, the old man turned around, he turned to the people around him and said: "Go! This person is my guest."

The people around heard that, although it was very difficult to understand, they looked at each other and talked for a while, but also obeyed the old man's words and left.

"Follow me." The old man said, Kent doesn't know what's going on, just know that now if you want to know any more information, you can only ask this old man.

Kent did not know where the old man led him, but the whole way Kent did not ask or say a word, both were silent. However, as Kent walked and looked around, he could see that this town was suffering from a famine.

Yes, it sounds incredibly hard to believe. In the 21st century, when food is something that is never lacking, it is harder to say that there is an excess of food. Even the national road is only 10km from this town, it can be reached by walking half a day. Not to mention in the town there are also abandoned wheat fields.

Although it was difficult to understand, Kent did not say it, but quietly followed the old man. After walking for a while, the two came to a wooden house in the center of town. The old man pushed open the door to enter, Kent suddenly felt a cold air blow out from inside the house, making him shiver.

The old man who was entering the door suddenly stopped, turned around and said: "Come in!"

Kent looked at the house, took a deep breath, and followed behind the old man. Inside the house was dark, with a strong musty smell that made Kent cover his nose as soon as he entered the house. The windows in the house are almost all covered with newspaper, not only the windows but also the places where the light can enter are sealed, making the house extremely anaerobic. The suffocating air made Kent extremely uncomfortable, he felt that if he stayed in this house for a long time, he would die from lack of oxygen.

The suffocating air made Kent extremely uncomfortable, he felt that if he stayed in this house for a long time, he would die from lack of oxygen.

He followed the old man to a small room, the furniture inside was all smashed, nothing was intact, there were many scratches on the wall that I don't know what animal caused.

The old man brushed the ground, leaving a "clean" space on the old carpet, on the carpet there were still many traces of years of fear that even bleach could not be removed.

Kent also followed the old man, sitting cross-legged on the rug across from him. The old man did not invite guests to tea, but just sat still and stared at Kent, although he did not know why the old man was looking at him, but Kent felt extremely uncomfortable, after all, being looked at by someone like that was not uncomfortable, so strange.

After a long while, the old man sighed and said, "Young man, what's your name?"

Kent had originally intended to say that the old man should say his name before asking someone else's name, but right now he couldn't say it. After all, he was in the town of Riev, this place was extremely strange, it was not too much to be careful.

“Kent!” Kent replied.

The old man nodded and said: “My name is Renas, you can call me Nas. Names aside, I have a question that I hope you can answer honestly." As he spoke, he stared at Kent with sharp eyes, as if he was seeing through all of his thoughts.

Although it is summer, when Kent sits in this room and faces old man Nas, Kent feels the temperature is a bit low, as if it is autumn now. Kent swallowed a mouthful of saliva and replied, "I have a few questions too, I hope you can answer."

The old man nodded, then asked him in a hoarse voice, but his face was very serious: "Did you come here by the way through the forest?"

Kent also made no secret, he replied: "Yes!"

"Haven't you come across strange things?"

Kent knew what the old man was talking about, but he still pretended not to understand. Anyway, it was so horrible and so unbelievable, he didn't know if it was a wise decision to talk about his encounter with the devil last night, so he decided to keep quiet for the time being.

"What weird thing?"

Nas saw Kent's expression and realized he was faking it. Nas's face suddenly froze, his voice threatening: "Boy, don't think you're smarter than me. I have been the Mayor of this town for more than forty years, the type of person that I have met and seen a lot of things. Strange things, horrible things that even if I told you, you wouldn't believe they existed. So…don't lie to me, young man.”

Nas spoke to the point of rapid breathing, spitting everywhere, face red. But it's also true, this Riev town from the moment Kent stepped in was filled with a

Kent pursed his lips and sighed, he nodded and replied: "It is true that there are strange things."

Nas bed seemed to have calmed down, he sighed trying to suppress his hands shaking from old age. Nas looked Kent in the eye and asked, "What did you see?"

Kent thought about what words to use to describe it, but thought about it again and again and finally said: "Devil."

Kent thought that this phrase clearly represented what he had encountered last night. Unnamed creatures, the horrors Kent went through, and Ann Reed's protection. Therefore, he can only use the word "Devil" to describe the things Kent has encountered.

Kent thought that when he said the word, Nas would think he was crazy. But no, Nas's face showed fear, to be more precise, horror, his eyes gradually paled and then turned grayish white, he was scared. Kent could see fear in his cloudy eyes, accompanied by a tremor, not of old age but of fear.

At this point, Kent realizes that the forest is not scary, but extremely scary. Scary enough for one to believe that ghosts exist. It must be known that for a person to become a Mayor, there are many other factors besides education. But a highly educated person would certainly never believe in ghost stories.

Yet now Nas was clearly showing fear.

Kent didn't know what to do in this case, nor what to say, so he decided to remain silent. There was a long silence, so quiet that Kent could hear the wind whistling through the cracks of the house.

Nas tried to calm down, then sighed and said, "It's a demon, it's a demon."

Kent demanded: "What do you mean..."

Nas shook his head, he looked into the distance, his eyes seemed to be reminiscing about something. “How did you get through that forest?” he asked.

Kent is silent. It's also true, I can't say that I'm protected by another demon even more terrible, nor can I find a reasonable reason.

Seeing that Kent did not intend to answer, Nas continued: "Are you looking for Doris' whereabouts?"

Kent was startled: "How do you know?"

Nas laughed and said, "This town has become the mess you are seeing all caused by a woman named Doris."

Kent heard that was very surprised but he did not intend to interrupt Nas, he still listened attentively, hoping to hear some more useful information.

Nas continued: "I don't know what you're here for, but please listen to this story."

Nas took out a black and white photo from his pocket and gave it to Kent, he received the photo carefully because it was very old and crumpled, he was afraid that if he held it too hard, it would tear into pieces. Piece.

Kent looked carefully at the photograph, above it was a portrait of a girl. Even though it was a black and white photo, it couldn't hide her beauty.

“Is this Doris?” Kent asked.

Nas shook his head: "No, that's Doris's mother."
