Slimes also want to be evil gods

"The relatively famous events that happened in Manhattan recently... eh? Murder and disintegration, internal organs painting... Did this happen in Manhattan?"

He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and searched it. The first thing that appeared was the viscera painting incident that was widely reported by the media recently. Although Bowen Alves had heard of this incident, he really didn’t know that this incident happened in Manhattan. of.

"Wow...the latest incident is less than a kilometer away from here? Damn it, no wonder those people gathered there."

After seeing the latest news on the Internet, Bowen Alves understood what those people were watching just now. He had to say that he really couldn't understand what was so interesting about this kind of murder scene.

No matter how the media described this incident, the fact that people’s internal organs were used to paint after the murder is an unavoidable fact, that is to say, the location of the internal organs painting is the scene of the murder. Generally speaking, it should be a place that ordinary people would avoid. Not only did people stay away from the gimmick of visceral painting, but they scrambled to see it up close.

"Visceral painting......painting...ah, no way?!"

Suddenly, Bowen Alves thought of the oil painting hanging in the middle staircase leading from the first floor to the second floor in Alan Wake's house.At that time, although he didn't observe the painting too much because he cared about his friends, the painting did leave a very deep impression on him. Thinking about it now, Bowen Alves was suddenly startled.

According to those media reports, Bowen Alves knew that those viscera paintings had original works, and the name of the original author, the painter Isaac Mendes, would appear on TV N times every day, even if he had intentionally or unintentionally heard it several times.

The question now is how did the oil painting in the middle of Alan Wake's stairs come about? As far as Bowen Yalves knows, there is no such oil painting in Alan Wake's home, at least the last time he came When not.

Bowen Alves then needed to confirm if the painting was one of five that were stolen by painter Isaac Mendes, and if so, he felt compelled to seek police help immediately up.

After all, the murderer of the visceral painting has not been caught yet, and none of the original oil paintings have been discovered. Bowen Alves couldn't believe that there was such a painting in Alan Wake's home at this time There will be no problem inside, maybe this painting represents the murderer's next target.

"Tsk...you have to ask Allen. Wait, so that's the figure I saw just now?!"

Before and after the contact, Bowen Alves felt that the figure he saw just now was probably the prisoner who made the internal organs painting, that is, the culprit who caused the riots in the city recently. There was an oil painting by Isaac Mendes, but he had obviously checked it just now, and there was no way to hide people in Alan Wake's room.

"Damn it, you really shouldn't come out, Alan..."

The more Bowen Alves thought about it, the more worried he became. He was very worried about Alan Wake who was alone at home. He began to regret going out to buy hamburgers, but regret was useless. Bowen Alves could only Secretly prayed that Alan Wake was fine, and accelerated his pace.

"That is!!!"

When he was about to reach Alan Wake's house, Bowen Alves saw the previous figure hovering near the window again, and receded from the window the moment he saw him.

Chapter 160 Two Interrupted Footprints

"Alan, Alan..."

Bowen Alves rushed to Alan Wake's room almost without hesitation. However, he rushed into the room at the fastest speed, but he did not see the expected scene.

"What's wrong? What happened?!"

There was almost no difference between Alan Wake who was lying on the bed and Bowen Alves when he left. He opened his eyes and looked at him in surprise when Bowen Alves shouted.

Nothing happened, or it seemed like nothing happened.

"…………"

Bowen Alves was silent, he didn't know what to do at this time.The first time he saw a figure, he could barely say that he was dazzled, but the same illusion could not happen twice, and it was absolutely impossible for him to make a mistake twice.

"Alan...... Is there anything you are hiding from me?"

After sorting out his shortness of breath, Bowen Alves asked his friend from the beginning, that the figure could not just disappear without a trace, and he was a little suspicious.

In addition, Bowen Alves actually had one other thing that he was very concerned about, but just now he thought that Alan Wake was sleepy, so he didn't bring it up, but after seeing the strange figure twice, he thought Added some doubts.

Why has Alan Wake been lying on the bed since just now, even if he is sleepy, he is not to this extent, not to mention that now he suddenly opened the door and rushed into the room, Alan Wake was only slightly surprised expression.

If there is any place to hide people in this room, the only remaining possibility is to cover the inside of Alan Wake's quilt at this moment.

"Ha... You drank too much, how could I hide something from you."

To Bowen Alves' surprise, after he asked a question, Alan Wake seemed to be stretching, and for some reason, he lifted his body and leaned his back against the headboard of the bed.In this way, although the quilt was not lifted directly to see the details inside, but the outline of the quilt can already be seen clearly, and another person cannot be hidden in the quilt.

However, this is very strange, too blunt and deliberate, as if Alan Wake specially showed it to Bowen Alves after he noticed Bowen Alves' doubts.

"Probably I was wrong..."

The line of sight paused on Alan Wake for a few seconds, Bowen Alves hesitated for a while and still did not make any further moves, took a few steps back and closed the door again.

Such an act was not because Bowen Alves had no doubts anymore, on the contrary, the suspicion in Bowen Alves's heart climbed to the highest point almost instantly, but reason kept him from taking other outrageous actions.

This was really too weird, so weird that Bowen Alves didn't dare to act rashly.

First of all, he has been with Alan Wake for many years, and he knows very well what kind of person Alan Wake is, so he deeply understands that Alan Wake is very abnormal today. At first glance, there is nothing special, but Bowen Alves is very familiar with Alan Wake. In his opinion, the addition of these abnormalities can completely match the Alan Wake he knows today. This Alan Wake on the bed has drawn an inequality sign.

But that was indeed Alan Wake, at least Bowen Alves couldn't tell the difference from the appearance alone.

"The painting...is missing?"

Coming out of Alan Wake's room, Bowen Alves first found the oil painting he saw in the middle of the stairs, but he didn't want the oil painting in the middle of the stairs to disappear. without a trace.

"Could it be that the prisoner is... Alan?!"

In an instant, a flash of lightning flashed in Bowen Alves' mind, and a terrible hypothesis suddenly emerged. If Alan Wake is the real culprit who created those internal organs paintings recently, his behavior at this moment is also the same. That makes sense.

Bowen Alves hasn't seen Alan Wake for about three weeks. If Alan Wake was really responsible for the recent series of cases, then the current performance can be said... ………… It still doesn’t make sense!

Bowen Alves felt that he was really crazy, that he would come up with such an idea. Alan Wake had no reason at all, nor any motive. Besides, he had known Alan Wake for so many years, and he had no idea at all. Think Alan Wake is the guy who would do something like that.

But other than that, he really can't think of any other good reasons to explain it. It can't be that Alan Wake lying on the bed is idle and bored and observes him from the window every time before he comes. Escape back to bed, even if he has the innocence to do so, the oil painting in the middle of the stairs just now cannot be explained by this.

"It was indeed still here just now, I just left for such a short time, who took it?"

Taking a closer look at the wall where the oil painting was hung just now, the few remaining nails made him clearly realize that the oil painting was just taken away.

"Hey, what is this trace?"

While checking the remaining traces, Bowen Alves accidentally found some very strange traces left on the ground, and couldn't help but lean over them.

"Mouse...footprints?"

After carefully identifying them for a while, Bowen Alves guessed with some uncertainty that these footprints were very small, and they might be some kind of small animal. In terms of probability, the most likely one was a mouse, but he didn't know why, Bowen Alves Vin Alves suddenly remembered the mouse with the face of an old woman mentioned in the original message sent to him by Alan Wake.

"The footprints extend from here to... Hey, why did they disappear here?"

Bowen Alves followed these footprints, and found that almost all of them disappeared at the corner above the stairs, and there were almost no traces left after that.

The problem is that there is no special place at the corner where the footprints disappeared, and there is no aisle for mice to pass through. Judging from the footprints, it seems that the mouse ran here without stopping and entered the interior directly through the wall, but this... …how is this possible.

thump... thump...

"It's solid."

Bowen Alves tapped the wall below the corner lightly a few times, judging from the echo that there was no mechanism inside, so this made him even more unable to understand where the owners of these footprints disappeared, and there was no way to Determine the relationship between the owner of these footprints and the figure he saw.

Chapter 160 Three Query the Truth

"Hmm... did I fall asleep?"

When he opened his eyes, what Bowen Alves felt was the soreness after maintaining an improper posture for a long time and the pain from his head.

"Strange, my head hurts a little... What's going on, what happened?"

Bowen Alves, who woke up from a coma, felt uncomfortable all over his body, but the most serious thing was his head. I don't know what happened before he woke up. Now his head is a little swollen, as if he hit something .

Taking a closer look, Bowen Alves found himself lying down on the platform in the middle of the stairs. The sky outside was completely dark, and the faint moonlight coming in from the window barely provided some vision.

"I remember I was watching those footprints... fell from above?"

After recalling his previous memories and looking at the current situation, Bowen Alves made a simple judgment.

Kaka……………………………………………………

Suddenly, a strange sound sounded around Bowen Alves, which startled him and looked around in a hurry.

"Hiss... Did you hurt your foot too? It's not good."

Struggling to get up from the ground, Bowen Alves immediately noticed that his right foot was injured. Although he could stand, that was all he could do. Actions like running were almost impossible until his leg recovered. move quickly.

Kaka……………………………………………………

Before Bowen Yarvis could confirm that he had multiple injuries, the weird voice sounded again. However, because he heard it just now, Bowen Yar was somewhat prepared this time. Weiss focused his attention on the place where the sound came from the moment the sound came out.

Strangely, for some reason, this sound sounded ethereal, and it didn't seem like it was coming from a certain direction, giving Bowen Alves a feeling that there were sounds coming from all directions.

in all directions?

For a moment, Bowen Alves seemed to think of something, he put his ears to the wall of the stairs, closed his eyes and listened quietly, not long...

Kaka…………

"Sure enough, the voice came from inside the wall, I have to tell Ai......"

Bowen Alves' voice gradually softened. When he realized that something was making this sound in the wall, his first reaction was to tell Alan Wake about this discovery. However, he He didn't do that, but gradually lowered his voice and frowned, and touched the painful part of his head with his palm.

"No, no...it seems a little strange."

Bowen Alves looked at the position where he was standing before he fell into a coma, then glanced at the position where he was now, and finally touched the painful position on his head, and the doubt in his heart expanded.

"That position, how could I fall here from that position, and..."

No matter how he thinks about it, Bowen Alves can't think of the position he just fell into that hurts at the moment. You know, when he woke up just now, he was face down, his back was facing the sky, and the part of his body felt uncomfortable. Also like this posture, almost all of them are on the front of the body, only the pain in the head is in the middle of the back of the head.

Originally, it was strange that Bowen Alves would fall from the position he was in, but it was even more unbearable to fall all the way to the middle platform in the state of face down and back face up, not to mention the injury to the back of the head.

Bowen Alves could only fall down in this posture. If he made a big mistake and fell, the injuries he suffered would not be as small as he is now. Although it looks miserable now, most of them are skin injuries. Only the legs and head are really affected, and the consequences of a slip and fall are much more serious.

The most important thing is that when he woke up, his posture was not like the one when he stumbled and fell, but more like the one when he slipped. The only difference was the pain in his head.

Moreover, Bowen Alves was also very concerned about another thing, that is, his friend Alan Wake in the room did not move at all.

In any case, Bowen Alves will definitely make a loud noise when he falls, even if Alan Wake sleeps in it, he should be aware of it, even if he didn’t notice that he didn’t come back after he said he bought a hamburger There should be some action, but... nothing.

It is true that Alan Wake did say that he was going to rest or something, but aside from this point, the Alan Wake that Bowen Alves knew was the kind of guy who didn't care about anything. kind of person?Is it the person who has been lying on the bed all kinds of perfunctory since he came?

More directly... Is that really Alan Wake himself?

Bowen Alves only thought of this question at this moment. Before that, he didn't...or he subconsciously ignored this question. He ignored certain illusions that he should be able to see, hiding in his heart Some unease trying to deceive myself.

Bowen Alves knew it, and he knew it from the very beginning. After all, Alan Wake sent him a message on the Internet from the very beginning, and also sent that kind of life-saving text message, which is why he Came over, but he ignored the anomalies when he saw 'Alan Wake' and only looked at what he wanted to see.

"I have to confirm once, for the last time, to see if Allen has really..."

Once he started to think about this question, the various abnormalities shown by 'Alan Wake' before clearly appeared in Bowen Alves' mind.

creaking......

Bowen Alves ignored the sound coming from the wall and the pain in his own body, and opened the room of 'Alan Wake' again by his own will. This time, he wanted to know the truth.

"…………no one?"
