Slimes also want to be evil gods

Looking around the surrounding area, Bowen Alves remembered that the one on the Internet said that he saw a mouse that looked like an old woman's face, but this was the area he was looking for at the time, so there was nothing strange about it. .

However, the mouse with the face of an old woman mentioned by Alan Wake can be found on the Internet, but he himself suddenly changed his words not long after sending a distress message, which made Bowen Alves suspicious. Is there something tricky here.

"Strange, are there so few people around here?"

When he was about to walk to Alan Wake's house, Bowen Alves noticed a strange thing. Since he left the main road and walked towards Alan Wake's house, the pedestrians he met along the way became more and more They came and went less and less, until now there were hardly any figures nearby.

This is really strange. Although this area is not a main road, this is Manhattan, not a remote village with few people. It is as strange to see no one in Manhattan as it is not to see Asian carp in the Great Lakes.

However, this didn't affect Bowen Alves, and he didn't have much interest in the nearby residents. He just came to look for Alan Wake, as long as he was among other people, it didn't matter at all.

"Ellen?!"

Suddenly, Bowen Alves, who had arrived not far from Alan Wake's house, suddenly saw a figure floating in the window on the second floor of the house, and couldn't help but shouted out. However, the figure at the window seemed to be Surprised by Bowen Alves' voice, he disappeared from the window in an instant.

"Missing? How is it possible, did something really happen to Allen?!"

Seeing the figure disappear from the window, Bowen Alves was taken aback. Although he thought that something might have happened to Alan Wake, the behavior of Alan Wake answering the phone actually relieved him a lot of pressure , came here to eliminate the last uneasiness in my heart.

Bowen Alves didn't expect to encounter such a situation that he couldn't ignore the first time he came here.

"Alan, open the door quickly, it's me, Bowen, quickly... Huh, it's unlocked?"

The figure on the second floor made Bowen Yarvis very flustered. He quickly ran to Bowen Yar's house, knocked on the door a few times, and unexpectedly found that his house was not locked. He contacted the figure upstairs... ...that's not a good sign.

"Thiefs, robbers, or ... ... ... hateful!"

When Bowen Alves opened the door, he didn't care about concealment at all, or concealment was useless, no matter how concealed he was now, the previous shout had already torn the word concealment to pieces, it might as well be It is more efficient to come forward quickly.

"This painting is... Forget it, now is not the time to look at such things."

When rushing up to the second floor, Bowen Alves saw a strange oil painting hanging in the middle of the stairs from the first floor to the second floor. It attracted his attention, but because there were more important things now, he gave up observing after just a glance, and rushed towards Alan Wake's bedroom.

"Alan, nothing happened to you, what about the people who were here just now?!"

Just after rushing into the bedroom, Bowen Alves saw Alan Wake lying on the bed at a glance, and immediately said with a worried face.

"Bowen, why are you here? Didn't I say you're fine... Uh, who are you referring to?"

Alan Wake, who was lying on the bed, was surprised by the arrival of Bowen Alves, as if he hadn't expected him to come at all, and at the same time, he didn't understand the question he asked.

“………Who was standing by the window just now?”

"Huh? No, I've been here all this time, and I haven't seen anyone. Maybe you misread it."

Faced with Bowen Alves' questioning, Alan Wake denied it categorically, insisting that no one had ever stood at the window.

"Is there really no one... Forget it, as long as you are fine."

With Alan Wake's rebuttal, is Bowen Alves so confident? After all, he is watching from the outside, and the figure flashes by, and there is indeed a possibility of misreading.

Another point is that the purpose of his coming here is to confirm the safety of Alan Wake. After confirming with his own eyes that his friend has not encountered any accidents, the figure just now is no longer something that must be confirmed.

"By the way, what happened to the message you sent me before made me worry for a long time."

The initial worries were almost eliminated by his friend who was safe and sound. Bowen Alves finally relaxed, and asked about the information he had received before with a chattering mind.

"Oh, that, I made some mistakes at that time, don't take it to heart."

"Got something wrong? Got something wrong?"

"Well... It doesn't matter now, don't care, don't care."

Looking at Alan Wake who didn't answer this question directly, Bowen Alves always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't specifically say what was wrong.

Chapter 160 An Insignificant Exception

"Speaking of which, Alan, why have you been lying on the bed?"

Since Alan Wake himself was fine, Bowen Alves gave up asking what Alan Wake did wrong and changed the subject.

"Oh, it's because I've caught a cold for the past two days, and I just took some medicine...cough cough..."

As if to show that he was sick, Alan Wake coughed properly twice. I have to say that this is actually fake, but because it is not an important matter, Bowen Alves himself didn't think too much about it. , the question was just a little strange, and after listening to the answer, he showed an understanding expression.

"Since you're sick, I'll stay here tonight. It's not peaceful around here recently..."

Although Alan Wake seems to have no major problems now, Bowen Alves was very concerned about the figure he saw just now, and his friend had a cold, so he decided to stay tonight after thinking about it.

In fact, Bowen Alves prefers that Alan Wake will leave here to live with him for a while, but based on various practical reasons, he doesn't think Alan Wake will agree. The next best thing is to prepare yourself to stay here for a few days.

"Huh? Wait, why is the downstairs door unlocked? Sure enough, someone else is there?!"

Bowen Alves, who was about to leave, suddenly frowned, and suddenly remembered the unlocked door when he came in, stopped the steps he was about to take, and moved his eyes to Alan Wake's surroundings again. Something is wrong, there must be someone else in the room.

hush......

Facing the puzzled Alan Wake, he stretched out his hand and made a silence gesture. Bowen Alves squatted down and looked at the bottom of the bed, but there was nothing, and there was only one under Alan Wake's bed. Heaps of dust and dust-covered clutter due to time, without something he thought was lurking.

After thinking about it, Bowen Alves opened the closet next to him. Unfortunately, it was the same as under the bed. There was nothing special in the closet, only a few loose-looking pajamas.

"Um... what are you doing?"

Alan Wake watched Bowen Alves' unexplainable behavior for a while, and asked a little strangely.

"Am I really overthinking?"

Alan Wake's room is not big, and the only thing that can hide people is the wardrobe under the bed. Nothing was found in these two places, which made Bowen Alves start to doubt his own judgment. Before that, Bowen Alves Vin Alves even suspected that someone was hiding in the room to make Alan Wake respond to him on the surface and threaten him secretly.

It's just that looking at it now, there seems to be nothing wrong with Alan Wake's room. After all, there is no other place to hide in this room.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it. I'm going to the next room. If you need anything, call me... Oh, by the way, have you had dinner yet?"

Before leaving, Bowen Alves glanced at the setting sun, touched his hungry stomach, and asked Alan Wake who was lying on the bed and didn't plan to get up.

"I ate a pizza at noon, I'm not hungry, I just want to have a good sleep now... close the door, thank you."

Alan Wake responded weakly to Bowen Alves, and then slowly closed his eyes, as if planning to go to sleep now.

click...

With a soft sound, Bowen Alves closed the door casually when he went out. He did not refuse Alan Wake's request, anyway, it was just incidental.

"Is it really just an illusion?"

Bowen Alves, who entered the next room, recalled the figure he saw just now, no matter how he thought about it, he didn't think that he would miss such an obvious thing, so he walked to the window and looked out.

"It's not here, it should indeed be Allen's room... Tsk, what's going on."

The window of this room faces a different direction from Alan Wake's room, and it is impossible to see the position where Bowen Alves saw the figure before, so it cannot be this room.

Dumb... Dumb... Dumb...

Suddenly, several shrill crows came from nearby. Bowen Alves looked around and saw a large flock of crows gathered somewhere on the roof of the opposite house for some reason. These crows were scrambling to grab something thing.

For some reason, looking at this picture, the uneasiness that had just been dispelled in Bowen Alves' heart spread again.

Friends lying on the bed, crows gathering on the roof, strange figures by the window...

Bowen Alves always felt that there seemed to be something in common among them, something he ignored, and there seemed to be some thread that could connect these clues together, but he hadn't found this thread yet.

"Alan, I'm going out for dinner. When I come back later, please call me immediately if you need anything."

After thinking about it, Bowen Alves couldn't figure out the reason, but he was a little hungry, so he went downstairs and went out after saying hello to Alan Wake through the door.

"It won't work if you wait too long, just buy a few burgers."

Considering Alan Wake's condition, Bowen Alves didn't want to go too far, so he decided to buy a few burgers two streets away. Although he said he didn't want to eat, Bowen Alves I feel that I should buy a few more, maybe I will have an appetite later.

After going out, Bowen Alves took a second look at the crows in the opposite house, as if feeling unlucky, he stayed away from the house with a large flock of crows on the top of the building, and planned to circle around without passing this house.

"strangeness…………"

When Bowen Alves came here, he was worried that his friends would not pay too much attention. Walking on the road now, he felt that strange atmosphere again.

"Is this really Manhattan?"

After walking for almost two minutes, apart from the group of crows he saw at first, Bowen Alves didn't encounter a living creature, which made him feel very, very strange.

However, when he turned a corner again, Bowen Alves suddenly saw a large group of people gathered in front of him, the number was so large that it seemed that all the people who disappeared in front of him were packed here, and several police cars were parked beside the crowd .

"Did something happen... But even if something happened, it's nothing to come here to watch, the nearest people are really...... Sigh"

Although I want to complain about these onlookers, but after thinking about it carefully, I think that if something happens nearby when I have nothing to do, I might go over and take a look. I can't help but sigh, and then stop paying attention, and head towards the burger restaurant of my destination go ahead.

Chapter 160 A Suspicious Figure

"Hamburger, Coke, hamburger, but...Damn it, I will definitely gain weight if this continues."

Holding the hamburger and coke he just brought out of the store, Bowen Alves couldn't help complaining, but he didn't really care about it, and now he just wanted to say something relaxing to soothe his tense nerves.

"Wait a moment, sir!"

Bowen Alves hadn't taken a few steps when a sound suddenly came from behind him, interrupting his movement. Looking back, he found that the person who made the sound was a middle-aged man in a priest's robe, holding a With a thick book without a name.

"You need to get to know our Lord, it won't take long, it only takes a few minutes, the Almighty Lord will help all those who are in trouble!"

This man in a priest's robe does not seem to be a Christian priest. If he is, there is no need to preach in this way.

However, because of the freedom of belief in the United States, it is not uncommon for such a guy whose religious order is unknown. Usually, Bowen Alves is not interested in this kind of thing, but what happened to Alan Wake's family just now made him Somewhat concerned, he suddenly stopped when he heard such remarks.

But the pause was only for a moment, and he hadn't lost his sanity yet, so he couldn't believe this kind of big talker, and moved forward again. More importantly, he didn't think that faith could solve the problem, and he couldn't get anything other than psychological comfort.

"If you have any troubles, maybe you can tell me...Damn it, why is there a police around here, I have to dodge, may the Lord bless you, RAmen!"

Because Bowen Alves paused for a moment, the priest seemed to think he was interesting, but his expression changed when he saw a few policemen on the opposite street, and he took something out of his pocket and handed it to Bowen Yar Weiss fled in a hurry.

"This is a... umm, takeout order?"

The priest moved too quickly, and Bowen Alves stuffed something into his hand before he could refuse, but it was obviously not something important.

This is an old and worn-out takeout list, with order numbers and several different food items written on it. Each food has an item number. The food that can be purchased includes burgers, fried chicken sandwiches, fried wings, various A variety of seasonal fried food and carbonated drinks.

However, the priest wrote a lot of canons and dogmas and various contents of unclear meaning on this takeaway list, covering up the names and numbers of several kinds of food.

Bowen Alves didn't read what was specifically written on it, and wanted to throw it away after a cursory glance, but thinking that ordering takeaway would be much more convenient sometimes, he folded the takeaway slip and stuffed it into his trouser pocket.

"Strange priest, those policemen and people who gathered there just now have something to do with that priest? It doesn't look like..."

Although this priest seems to be acting strangely and bewildered, he doesn't look like a bad guy. Bowen Alves doesn't think that the priest can gather so many people and attract so many policemen. So many policemen should be dealing with it. It's important, but he really doesn't know what's going on here.
