A woman holding a child, humming a song, appeared dementedly at the mouth of the alley.
“What’s going on here? A madman? Or a fool?”Night Diem said.
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, spoke, “Let’s go, go over and take a look.”
The three people brought the hot pot and walked straight towards this woman who was slowly humming a nursery rhyme.
In the face of the three people’s arrival, this woman was surprisingly unaware of it, as she just hummed the nursery rhyme and walked dully towards the kiosk she had just come from.
When Zhang Chu’s three people stopped in front of her, her eyes moved slightly as if she had seen Zhang Chu’s three people.
However, she did not greet or stop, but instead turned a slight corner, avoiding Zhang Chu’s three people, and continued walking towards that kiosk.
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, saw that the child in her arms, was sleeping very well, very fragrantly, and her breathing was very smooth, making people who saw this child, unconsciously sleepy a bit, wanting to doze off.
However, Zhang Chu quickly stopped this impulse as he spoke, “Hello.”
However, the woman did not respond at all.
“Hello! This sister, can you hear me?”Night Diem amplified his voice and shouted.
This woman holding the child still did not react at all as she held the child and brushed past the three people towards the supermarket.
Zhang Chu noticed that she was barefoot and did not wear shoes.
Moreover, her feet seemed to have been cut, and there were some blood stains on the ground where she had walked.
“What’s going on? Is it a fool? Is the child also sleepy and can’t wake up?”Night Diem said.
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, frowned and said, “It looks like sleepwalking.”
“Are you saying that she is actually asleep?”Bai Diem asked.
Zhang Chu nodded, “Yeah, look at her dress, she doesn’t look like a fool or a lunatic per se, and although her makeup is partially faded, all in all, there are no traces of scribbling.”
“That means, she should be a normal woman, but may be asleep like everyone else in the town, but she has the habit of sleepwalking, so she ran out with the child in her arms.”
Night Diem couldn’t help but shiver, “Even if sleepwalking is fine, sleepwalking with a child, a bit outrageous!”
“Go, go and see if she can still go home, if she can’t go home, help her.”Night Diem also stopped being enthusiastic.
Zhang Chu nodded his head, although Fire Crow said that the matter of the talisman station was very important right now, Zhang Chu felt that the matter of the talisman station might be inextricably linked to the matter of the small town, so Zhang Chu still wanted to see what was going on with this small town.
Thus, the three of them followed this woman who was holding a child.
A few minutes later, this woman entered the supermarket, she held the child, humming a song, slowly turned round, and eventually took two boxes of cigarettes, some snacks, and then walked out of the kiosk holding the child again.
Zhang Chu’s few people continued to follow, at the same time, Night Diem kept trying, trying to wake up this sleepwalking woman.
Although it was said that a sleepwalker who was woken up halfway through the night might be violently frightened.
But relatively speaking, this sleepwalker, should be the easiest person to wake up.
However, Night Diem’s attempt was not successful.
Zhang Chu also did not use too drastic means to stimulate her, as using spiritual means hastily when one did not know the specifics of the situation might be counterproductive.
In the end, the three of them followed the woman and arrived at a house with the door open, and the three of Zhang Chu followed her into the room.
The woman walked very slowly, humming a song the entire way.
When she returned home, Zhang Chu realised that there was a man lying on the bed, also deeply asleep.
And after the woman put the child on the bed, she didn’t immediately go to sleep, but instead got up, went to the fridge, opened it, took out a piece of raw pork, stuffed it into her mouth, and chewed on it.
Although there was no longer any blood in that raw pork, the scene of this woman standing in front of the refrigerator, chewing on the raw meat and swallowing it with great force still made Zhang Chu’s several people’s hearts tremble.
However, this woman just stared straight at the refrigerator, chewing on the raw meat as if no one else was there, and only after she finished chewing did she return to the child’s side, slowly closing her eyes and falling asleep.
The entire time, it was as if she hadn’t felt the arrival of Zhang Chu’s several outsiders.
“Is this what sleepwalking looks like?”Night Diem frowned.
Zhang Chu thought for a moment before he said, “Look carefully in this town and see if there are any other discoveries.”
Thus, the three of Zhang Chu walked throughout the entire town, and although many of the households had their doors closed, Zhang Chu and the others broke down the doors and walked in.
As a result, in every household, all the people were asleep.
Not to mention the people, even the dogs, chickens, rabbits, cats, and many other pets that some of the farmers had in their homes were all completely asleep.
And strangely enough, some people were even fine even if they slept outside.
One must know that in today’s weather, if one fell asleep outside, after the temperature got lower, one might never wake up.
However, Zhang Chu and the three of them saw that there was a family with an old man and an old lady, both in their sixties, sleeping in the courtyard like that, and surprisingly, they were also very stable, and there was no danger to their lives at all.
Eventually, Zhang Chu’s three people came to the street.
“Can you tell roughly what time the change happened?”Zhang Chu asked.
Night Diem shook his head, “Then who knows, dogs aren’t that smart, right?”
Hot Pot immediately said, “Woof woof woof, I don’t know either.”
Bai Yan then said, “Two days ago, in the afternoon, around three or four o’clock.”
“How do you know?”Night Diem was curious.
At this moment, Bai Diem said, “You forgot, just now we saw a person who seemed to have fallen asleep while talking on the phone, and even put his mobile phone to his ear, I purposely looked at the phone’s call records.”
Zhang Chu nodded his head, “Two days, two days of not eating or drinking, many people slept outside for two days in a row, surprisingly they didn’t cool off, and even looked, very healthy, very strange indeed.”
“You say, will they sneak up in the middle of the night and steal food?”
“Eat and then go back to the courtyard to lie down? Are they that idle?”Bai Yan said.
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, sighed, “It seems that we can’t tell much from this town alone, so let’s make a trip to the talisman station first.”
“Mm.”The two girls agreed.
Thus, they got into the car and prepared to go to the talisman station first to check out the situation.
However, just as they got into the car, they saw that a large off-road vehicle drove over in this direction.
“Eh? There’s someone? Take a look at the situation, and if it’s someone from out of town, let them leave.”Zhang Chu said.
Thus, the three people got out of the car again and stopped in the middle of the road.
Soon, the SUV stopped, and a few people came down from the car, the driver was a man in his forties, and on the backseat, a woman in her forties and a boy in his twenties came down.
By the looks of it, it was a family.
After that old driver got off, he directly handed Zhang Chu a cigarette, “This friend, inquiring about something, are you from this town?”
Zhang Chu shook his head, “I’m not from this town, but I suggest you, hurry up and leave this town.”
