Chapter 227
At dawn the next day, the twisted sunlight flashed out of the clouds again, as if there was no need to go through the process of sunrise and sunset.
Hoffa entered the forest again, this time with two more men. One has golden hair and a rough look. His name is Aldo. He has a bad temper, but when he sees insects, he is as scared as a child.
The man with red hair, ankel, had a soft face and narrow eyes. He was the guy who did not forget to trip himself when he was running in the sea of insects. It can be said that he was very tired.
It's unwillingness to reach an agreement and cooperation with enemies of different camps, but it's also helpless under the situation. This reminds him of the Hogwarts war in the wizarding world more than 50 years later. If there was no Voldemort, maybe Gryffindor would not cooperate with Slytherin anyway.
After re entering the forest, because of yesterday's experience, the nerves of the three people were strained to the extreme. They crept with sticks in their hands, trying not to make any noise.
In the woods, the arthropod insects that we saw yesterday hid. Some giant slugs circled and wriggled on the tree trunk, leaving mucky liquid like snot, shining.
Hoffa and ankel are good, but they are always alert to the possible danger.
But Aldo could not stand it. As he walked, his teeth trembled: "it's disgusting... This damned Island, every creature is so disgusting."
"Cheer up, Aldo."
"It's just gastropods," ankel said
"No worms."
Murmured Aldo. His voice has just dropped. A half meter long slug fell off the tree and opened its sticky tongue to Aldo. He pulled out his stick and slapped it heavily, killing it on the ground.
Look at that still wriggling body.
Aldo vomited directly. After vomit, he said hoarsely, "it's unusual to be so big. Is it a magic creature?"
Ankel squatted down, rummaged over the body, sucked his finger again, and spat.
"There is no magic wave. This is not a magic creature."
His disgusting movements almost made Aldo faint.
Huo FA touched his chin and thought deeply: "do you think it's a little strange? About the location of the island. "
"What do you think?"
Asked ankel.
"The English channel should be one of the busiest channels in the world. Let alone islands, every inch of the bottom of the channel has been excavated. How can such an undeveloped primitive Island appear?"
Ankel immediately retorted: "how can you be sure that this island was formed naturally, maybe it was developed by some ancient wizard? It has been released the Muggle banish curse, so that those Muggles can not be found
"It's not a secret place."
Hoffa said positively.
"How do you know it's not a secret place?"
Ankel said.
"I have my own way to distinguish the secret place. I don't need to explain it to you. You just need to know that it's definitely not a secret place."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Bach, but I'll keep my point. If it wasn't for the secret place, it would be impossible for these strange creatures to be born in the natural environment. "
"Can you stop arguing, and ask lemme or not?"
Aldo said impatiently, clutching the stick, "wait till we find her. Maybe there's only a pair of bones left."
Hoffa and ankel stopped arguing about the origin of the island and continued to walk deep into the jungle.
Ankel is in the front, Hoffa is in the middle and Aldo is in the back. After walking through a gloomy river full of animal remains, ankel, who was walking in the front, suddenly raised his arm and motioned the team to stop.
"You see, there's a house there." He said.
Hoffa and Aldo walked up to him. Sure enough, in front of the river bed, a three story hut stood alone. The house was crooked, the windows were covered with cobwebs, the chimney was half collapsed, and the walls were covered with moss. It stands alone in the deciduous forest, looks very strange and out of place.
"Sure enough, my guess is correct."
Ankel vowed: "this must be the building left by the wizard who created this secret place."
Looking at the strange building, Hoffa also murmured in his heart. Is it really a wizard's secret place? It's clear that his system doesn't give any hints.
"Let's go and have a look."
Ankel greets Aldo and plans to enter the house.
"Don't go in."
Aldo said suddenly.
"What's the matter?"
"Nothing. Just don't... just don't go in."
He bowed his head and stammered."What's the matter, Aldo?" asked ankel, puzzled. "You haven't been right since yesterday."
"This is my childhood house."
Aldo said with a pale face.
With a word from Aldo, Hoffa and ankel stopped immediately.
Ankel: "your house, are you kidding? Aren't you from Berlin? How did your house come to such a place? "
"I'm not kidding you, ankel. I won't forget the walls, the chimneys, the courtyard in fifty years."
"I'll do your monster dripper," ankel scolded. "Are you crazy? What are you thinking in your head? Can you admit your mistake?"
"He didn't lie."
Hoffa, who had been silent for a long time, said, "there is something wrong with this island. Everything is wrong. The bricks and stones, as well as the style, are the houses produced in the Weimar Republic in the early 20th century. This house can only appear in the streets of Berlin, not in the virgin forest. "
Ankel's face darkened and he listened without saying a word.
Hoffa turned his steps around the room.
"If this place was created by a wizard, why did he leave a Muggle style residential building here? There's no point in thinking about it, unless... The house is here for someone to see. "
Angel: Aldo, tell me what happened
"Nothing. Let's go."
Aldo's legs trembled.
"Why are you leaving? Is lemme in this house?"
"How do I know?"
Aldo looked a little excited.
"Then let's go in and have a look." Said Hoffa.
"It's impossible to be here. You see, the house is broken like this. It looks like someone's staying... Er..."
He seemed to be strangled by some invisible monster, and made a trembling and short voice.
I saw that the dilapidated room, suddenly lit up the orange candle. The candle was warm and bright, but it was creepy in this scene.
Hoffa and ankel looked at each other. Aldo's thighs twitched, his face turned white and petrified.
"There are people here."
Ankel retreated slowly: "it's not a good idea to stay here."
Hoffa looked at him with disdain, thinking that this guy just asked his companion why he didn't go in. As a result, when he saw that there was someone inside, he immediately thought to retreat.
But disdain to disdain, he also moved back, before things became clear, he thought it was better to keep a distance from this strange house.
But as he and ankel retreated together, Aldo walked slowly towards the broken room with a sweaty face.
"Aldo, I was just joking. It's not too late to go in after a survey." Ankel whispered behind him.
However, Aldo didn't hear of it. He walked forward step by step, getting closer and closer to the burning house.
The door suddenly opened.
A woman in a headscarf appeared at the door. She was simple, big handed and dressed like a typical European housewife.
"Aldo, are you back?"
"I'm back."
Aldo said hoarsely.
"Come on in, I just made lunch."
"I... Have two friends."
Aldo pointed behind him.
"Friend, that's great. Let's come in together."
The woman standing at the door warmly greets Hoffa and ankel. This strange picture makes Hoffa's scalp numb. After discovering that the person in the room is not Chloe, he just wants to leave this strange place quickly.
However, inexplicable fog from all corners of the forest churning out, all the forest are blurred down, as if the world is only the old hut.
Hoffa's face was in a cold sweat. He looked at Aldo, who was about to enter the room, and gritted his teeth: "Damn it
He strode forward, before Aldo, trying to stop him, but he was caught by the wrist of the middle-aged woman. She pulled Hoffa with one hand and ankel with the other, and pulled them into the room.
Ankel in the distance is empty. He wants to leave here. But no matter which direction he ran, all he could see was white fog. No matter how far he ran, as soon as he looked back, the room was still there.
In the end, he had no choice but to follow Hoffa and Aldo and get into the strange house.
After entering the room, the middle-aged woman warmly entertained Hoffa, poured water and made snacks.
But apart from her sincere smile, the atmosphere in the room was extremely strange.
Aldo looked complicated, nostalgic, hateful and sentimental. Ankel's eyes went round and round, somber and uneasy. And Huo FA lowered his head and turned the cup on the table.None of the three expressed any opinion on the current situation.
The woman put a box of fruit candy on the table, bent down and put her arms around Aldo's head, and said softly, "your father and I have divorced. No one will beat you any more. Aldo, don't run around in the future."
Aldo nodded mechanically.
The woman happily released him and turned to Hoffa.
"You look about the same age as Aldo. Are you his classmate?"
Hoffa thought that he didn't look as big as Aldo, but ankel was.
But in this strange environment, he did not want to think about the details of the confusion.
He nodded: "yes."
"And you?" The woman asked ankel, "did you find him?"
Ankel forced a smile: "yes, I found him."
"Great, you are so kind."
The woman shed tears of gratitude: "I know there are still many good people in the world. Let's have a meal together. I cooked beef and potatoes, although it was very simple... By the way, Aldo, yesterday there was a very kind girl who accompanied me in Berlin to send leaflets to you. "
Aldo's eyes were dull and his voice was hoarse
The middle-aged woman raised her head and called upstairs, "Chloe, honey, come down and have dinner together. My child is back."
Hearing her shouting, a girl with long red hair and lavender eyes ran down the second floor.
Before she finished the stairs, she saw Hoffa sitting at the dining table, covering his mouth and exclaiming in amazement: "you... You, why are you here too?"
Hoffa stood up like an electric shock, and ankel stood up, aiming at the kitchen knife at the same time.
The appearance of peace that they just tried to create was torn to pieces in an instant. What they were thinking was the same thing. Whoever grabbed the kitchen knife first was the boss.
But Aldo secretly took ankel's palm and whispered, "don't be here..."
his voice had a rare appeal.
Ankel was not moved at all. He threw away his hand and stood in the same place as a stone pillar. His eyes kept turning between Chloe and Hoffa.
Finally, Hoffa gave up the idea of grabbing the kitchen knife and took the lead to sit down. With a long sigh of relief, he murmured, "I see."
The middle-aged woman came out of the kitchen with a pot and warmly welcomed the three people.
"Come on, sit down, Chloe. After dinner, I'll take you to the police station nearby."
Chloe ran to the middle-aged woman and said in surprise, "who is your child?"
middle-aged woman as like as two peas, "you see, it's the same as the leaflet, isn't it lovely?"
Chloe exclaimed, "he's almost your age!"
The woman looked at her in confusion, as if she didn't know what she was saying.
Aldo: shut up, lemme Then he said to the middle-aged woman, "can I have a few words with my friends?"
The woman was slightly surprised, then relieved: "of course, my dear."
She turned, went out of the door and took the door with her.
As soon as the middle-aged woman left, the small kitchen seemed to blow the bugle of chaos. Everything is on the verge of losing control and chaos.
Ankel first yelled, "Damn it, Aldo, is that your mother? Don't you say your mother died long ago, so what is that woman, a ghost? "
