It was the sixth day for Wells to 'work' in Anderson. Ryan overestimated the efficiency of this civil servant, and his survey was only half done! Ryan looked at Wells who went to work and got off work on time every day, a little disappointed. Because we all know that he wanted the bait to be bitten, but now Wells seemed to be hanging on the hook.
With the investigation of funeral records, Ryan became busy during the day. Many people in the West called Anderson's house to discuss the relocation of the tomb. They were guys like Quinn and Porto. Ryan dared not neglect them. Benjamin was also busy. Some farmers around Anderson were recruited to clean up the tomb area in a large scale. The desolation that Mrs. Quinn once saw became more in line with the tidiness that a cemetery should have.
Alice could have been more relaxed, but for the charity of her friend Laura, she prepared snacks for the charity sale in the kitchen every day.
Ryan's night visits with the charm pupil for several days in a row had no effect because 'human words' are too difficult to track. Even if there was a trunk analyzed by James, excluding people unrelated to the Gust couple's sixth sense of witchcraft, the news that Wells wants to win the lottery and resign was like a dandelion scattered by the wind. All Ryan can do was wait.
There were two more people who committed suicide. It was no surprise that the two names had been seen in the list given by the Gust couple. James Lance followed the vampire's advice and tried to find out who might have died once, but his investigation was not successful. He called up the list of accidents that occurred around the full circle of last month. Accidents occurred everywhere except Massa port, where Trisha's husband Todd was located, especially in Ford's tomb area.
Because the construction and public anger were carried out at the same time, large and small incidents often occur. It may be that the list of people who were revived by Papa Midnite after their death can only be handed over to the Gusts to observe one by one, and the progress was very slow. The most frustrating thing for James was that the suicide he and Curson investigated had never made progress in the hijacking that occurred. It was about to face closure and return to the conclusion of suicide.
There may be nothing for Curson, but for James, who already knew part of the truth, it was simply tortured! The result was that James often harassed Ryan and made Ryan a little bored.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Laura came as promised. Benjamin and Alice had prepared the tools and were waiting. Ryan also wanted to change his mood. More importantly, he avoided James' frequent phone harassment, so he prepared to give the Anderson family to old Hank and Louise, and went to [Parker primary school] with several people.
Today was Friday. Laura didn't skip class. She had quit cheerleading and set up her own community with the support of Mrs. Porto and Ript high school. Today, their task was to clean an abandoned bus stop on the southeast side of [Park Primary School].
The origin of the name of Paisiying district was well known. It connected Newton city and the prosperous North district of Porto. It was just a passing place. Once upon a time, when Porto was just emerging, the municipal government hoped to build this place into another road to Porto besides the West District of Porto.
However, there were No. 27 highway, Charles River, and the railway station directly leading to the interior of the North District. The roads to the southwest of Porto and to the center had been opened. Paisiying district didn't achieve the desired effect of the municipal government, so it had been abandoned. Various facilities once built, such as schools, residences, and transportation, had gradually declined and become what they were now.
Others were OK. At least some people used them, but the bus terminal in the southeast of Parker Primary school was really ignored and can only be abandoned.
It was abandoned anyway. Laura wanted to use this place to build a bazaar. The income could be used to improve the environment of Parker primary school. Today was the day Laura decided to clean it up.
After arriving at the bus stop, it can be seen that Porto's name was very easy to use. Laura 'borrowed' Riput's school bus, which swarmed with twenty or thirty high school students. The teachers and students of Park primary school stood in two rows, looking at a group of teenage boys and girls wearing volunteer white T-shirts designed by Laura, holding brooms and tools, with an unspeakable excitement on their faces.
More than a dozen dusty old buses were placed in the courtyard. The glass of the surrounding buildings was broken, the paint was peeled off, and occasionally half a person tall weeds were exposed on the ground. It is hard for those pampered teenagers to imagine that this place was still in the north area of Porto.
Ryan and Benjamin did not enter the bus stop. Instead, they opened the back cover of the van. The bracket made by old Hank was stretched out. They began to help Alice put out her cakes, cookies, and donuts. Do you think those teenagers will look for pain the day before the weekend to do volunteer work? Of course not. Laura said, 'a delicious snack in exchange for a little labor.'
The students who had been sold snacks by Laura in a charity sale at Ript high school did not want to give up the opportunity to eat the legendary Alice's snacks again. The reason they came here was not Laura's 'righteous act' but Alice's craft!
"Wait!" Laura knocked out a boy who had put his paw on the food: "go and pull the grass first!"
"I'm not a farmer!"
"You have hands!"
In this way, the high school students took action, and Parker's teachers joined with the primary school students who had no extracurricular activities anyway. Soon, the students who experienced a sense of achievement had entered the state and began to work seriously.
Ryan and Benjamin both guarded Alice. For the sake of friends, Alice had worked hard to adapt to such an environment.
"Benjamin!" Laura ran over with some boys. "You help! You, the other brother, too!"
Ryan was helpless. It seems that Laura will never remember his name!
Several teachers from Park Primary School came to take over the work of caring for Alice. Of course, they only took it as a way to protect the food. Ryan and Benjamin followed Laura and walked inside the bus stop.
The abandoned buses lined up in the courtyard have already revealed their original colors after being washed by the students. Different from the bright yellow of the buses now, the original buses were painted in dark red. There were no advertisements covering the body of the bus. The large basketball headlights, the modern rear-view mirrors, and the cracked and mottled paint due to time make these buses have the temperament that they should be displayed in the museum.
Most of the surrounding buildings had been opened. The south side was the former staff dormitory and the reference room, the north side was the bus maintenance room where the ground was recessed, and the upper and lower bus maintenance rooms were divided by metal platforms.
Laura went directly to the west at the back. In the opened front door, there were already students cleaning the interior, the broken glass was removed, the collapsed bracket was lifted, the old telephone hanging on the wall was wiped clean, and the workbook after the dust was blown away could also see the past notes.
This was the main control room, which was used to dispatch the headquarters of the bus.
"Here." Laura continued to walk in and removed a collapsed support. There was already a male teacher standing here with the logo of Parker primary school printed on his chest. It should be Parker's PE teacher. The strong man saw that an adult was coming and patted the shelf blocking the innermost door: "there should be a warehouse behind, which is connected with the maintenance room, but the doors on the West and North sides were locked from the inside. This side is open. Help me."
Ryan and Benjamin nodded, rolled up their sleeves, began to put down the sundries on the inclined shelf, and moved the shelf away to reveal the buried door. Laura found the key, tried it several times, and the door opened.
The damp, rotten, and moldy air from the pavement was no smaller than the former warehouse No. 13! A few people at the door waved their arms to spread the smell, while several high school students had long retreated far away and didn't want to get close.
"You go somewhere else. We go in and have a look." Ryan and Benjamin looked at each other and suggested to the people around him.
"All right." No one refused, no one wanted to put up with the smell! After all, Laura was still a high school student, and she was not well prepared. She didn't prepare anything like a mask.
Several people dispersed. Taking the key from Laura's hand, Benjamin and Ryan entered the warehouse. Their task was to open the door leading to the maintenance room, at least to let the smell out.
But they knew that things start to go wrong here. Because vampires are sensitive to blood, let alone werewolves' smell. They detected a trace of blood in the musty smell!
The werewolf Benjamin's thick arms covered his nose and frowned. The smell of mildew and rot was too strong, confusing his senses, which made him very uncomfortable. At this time, the vampire's sensitivity to blood was the most useful. However, Ryan frowned and waved his arms in front of him. It had not been ventilated for many years. Although it was cold and gloomy, it is definitely not the environment that vampires like.
The cold concrete floor was slanting downward, and the spacious space was indeed growing towards the maintenance room. After a downhill, they had seen the north door, but they did not open it and continued to go inside. Rusty tools, iron tracks, disorderly stacked mechanical parts, and demolished buses....
Ryan approached a bus with its shell removed, and a slight click came from the bus. The smell of blood came from here. They looked at each other and approached one after another.
There were a group of students and teachers outside. They did not change their bodies. The werewolf put his hand on the trunk of the bus and jumped onto the bus with a little force. He approached the place where the sound came from. The damp mildew had been replaced by rot. The werewolf curled up, his legs' muscles were stretched, and his palms held the seat back of the bus, ready to impact at any time!
Swish!
The gray figure, like a crab popping up, jumped out of the rows of seats! The werewolf's body also rushed out! Ryan's eyes were slightly red, his fingertips were close together, and his figure drew a gray shadow in the air, blocking the things that bounced up! Just when this sudden 'creature' attracted the full attention of a werewolf and a vampire!
Bang!
The sound of the metal door striking sounded on the west side of the warehouse! Suddenly, a beam of sunlight suddenly penetrated into the cold room. Ryan and Benjamin didn't see what the 'creature' they had intercepted was. At the same time, they looked back to the West!
A figure quickly stepped out of the cold warehouse and drowned in the afternoon sun!
