The few people who were relieved from the tense atmosphere breathed a sigh of relief. Although the plan made in advance was completely useless, the final result was good. All three weird crows were eliminated and no one was harmed.

Mason took advantage of the night to go out and take a look. The thick fog surrounding him had not yet dissipated. Several people were worried that the crows had not yet appeared and did not dare to be careless. Except for Luke who was too sleepy due to consuming too much spiritual energy, the others were as usual. They took turns holding a gun to keep vigil, and spent the first peaceful night in several days.

Early the next morning, Luke was still in a sweet dream when he was suddenly awakened by a burst of cheers. It turned out that the fog that had been shrouding the farm began to dissipate and become thinner. After a while, the fog completely disappeared, and a police car ran over the moist soil and stopped at the gate of the farm. Jones and another police officer got out of the car one after another, pointed their guns at the interior of the warehouse, and shouted: "Hey, old Mason, is that you in there?"

Mason yelled back: "Jones, it's me, we're here with the Reffitt family."

Jones recognized several people on the farm from a distance, and walked over with his colleagues. He hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Mason, I came here yesterday with your son, Luke, and we lost contact after we entered the fog to explore. , I searched around the thick fog for a long time last night and still couldn’t find any trace of him.”

Mason heard what he said and replied, "Luke arrived at the farm yesterday. We had a thrilling night last night. He helped a lot. He is exhausted and is still resting now."

Just as he was talking, Luke, who was woken up, had already walked out of the warehouse door.

Seeing Luke, who had been missing all night, reappear, Jones put aside his anxiety and self-blame, walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Hey, boy, how did you get in yesterday? I and my men have many Excellent young men always come out of the fog inexplicably within a few minutes. You were nowhere to be seen yesterday. I thought you were abducted by aliens."

Luke knew that Officer Jones was caring about him, and felt warm in his heart, but he didn't want to reveal his extraordinary power, so he said vaguely: "Maybe it's because my parents are here. We have a deep blood connection, so I am here." You won’t get lost in the thick fog.”

Mason and Mrs. Lillian both laughed heartily when they heard this.

Afterwards, Mason concealed the peculiarity of the crow and told Officer Jones about his experience of being trapped on the farm and being attacked by wild beasts and birds in the past few days. As for how the thick fog appeared and how it dissipated, he also Not sure.

After almost a sleepless night, Officer Jones got a little better understanding of the situation and took his subordinates back to Chengxian County to rest.

On the other side, Luke pulled Mason, frowned and said, "I think this matter is not completely over yet. There should be some unresolved things."

Although after killing all three crows, the thick fog dissipated and everyone on the farm could leave freely, Luke always felt that the thick fog was not brought by the crows. There should be other monsters hiding in the dark, and those crows were also They are just puppets pushed to the surface.

The monster that has not yet appeared should be the real mastermind with the ability to summon dense fog. At the same time, its frontal combat ability should not be very strong, so after all the crows used for fighting were eliminated, there was nothing to do but to disperse the fog and let everyone leave.

The basis for Luke's inference is very simple. After he killed three crows, Goldfinger had no reaction at all, and his experience points did not change. The crows were probably not individual monsters, but just part of a certain monster. Or a manipulated puppet.

Mason already knew what was unusual about Luke. At this moment, when he heard Luke say that the incident was not over yet, he subconsciously believed his words. He hurried towards the direction of his broken pickup truck, intending to drive to recover Jones.

Luke pulled him and said: "When it comes to supernatural forces, the police can't do much. In fact, I want you to take your mother and Reffitt and leave the farm first, and I will check it again myself."

After hearing his son say that he had to face possible dangers alone, Mason directly refused: "No, Luke, I can't let you face the monster alone."

Luke played with Winchester, attached his psychic energy again, and showed it to his father, "You saw it last night, I am not an ordinary child. I need to check the farm myself. If there is no danger, you will come back. If there is any danger, if you stay here, you may become a drag on me."

Mason's impulsive emotions were extinguished. He thought calmly and convinced himself that his son had grown up and no longer needed his protection. Instead, he could protect himself and become an adult who could take charge of his own affairs.

After convincing Mason, Luke called the others over and explained the situation. Several people communicated about the follow-up details. Although Mason and Lillian agreed to leave temporarily, they firmly opposed going to Cheng County to escape directly. At most, they would wait near the farm.

Luke thought that this could basically guarantee their safety, so both parties took a step back. Mason took the rest of the people in the car and left the area of ​​the dense fog, watching and waiting from a distance on the county road.

After a few people left, Luke picked up his shotgun and began patrolling the surrounding farmland, looking for anything unusual.

After experiencing the thick fog, the farm was completely silent, with no sound of birds, mosquitoes or insects.

Luke carefully observed his surroundings. Suddenly, a strange-looking scarecrow caught his attention. It was placed in the corner of the field, with a few hemp ropes wrapped around it, as if it was tied up. The clothes on the scarecrow look very old and have some strange symbols on them.

Luke observed the scarecrow from a distance. As the distance gradually got closer, he could vaguely feel a faint surge of energy on the scarecrow. The identification ability is triggered, and a translucent information box appears:
