Noah, who went to the forest center to search, returned soon. While reporting to Hope, he couldn't help but glance at Benny from time to time.

The crowd of onlookers outside has not dispersed yet.

All eyes were on Benny. This makes him very uncomfortable. It felt like he suddenly became a gorilla in the zoo, naked tourists watching.

A strange sense of shame came to my mind inexplicably.

Benny resisted the discomfort and came to Hope.

He needs to know the situation in the forest. Although according to his judgment, in that case, there could be no survivors on the helicopter that Gerrard was flying.

"There is nothing in the forest except the wreckage of the helicopter,"

Noah paused, glanced at Benny again, and added inexplicably

"There are no corpses either."

"what?"

"No corpses?"

Benny and Hope exclaimed.

"you sure?"

Hope asked in surprise.

"Are you sure there is no carcass, it was dragged away by an animal, or it was burnt?"

Noah nodded. "Yes, I checked it carefully. There were no corpses on the helicopter, as if they had never boarded a plane."

Hope looked at Benny. Seeing that Benny was unresponsive, he pointed to the shaky cordon and ordered.

"Okay, I see. Noah, go and stop these lunatics. Don't let them in."

Dismissed Noah, Hoplar asked Rabenni in a low voice.

"Ben, what's the matter? I saw them boarding the plane with my own eyes. Could it be that I read it wrong?"

Benny shook his head. "No, Hope, I saw it too. I think they must have some way to leave before I can get involved with the helicopter."

"Also, this capability, or this kind of technology, should be scarce and expensive. At least more expensive than a few helicopters."

Hope followed Benny's gaze and glanced at the helicopter being towed away, and muttered with his mouth curled.

"Yes, it's really expensive, much more expensive than pensions."

…

The farce between the scenes reached its peak when Smith arrived on the scene.

At this time, the whole town has gathered on the scene, and the number of people gathered on this day is more complete than any gathering at any Christmas party.

All those who were still in Hawkins put down their work and came to the scene.

The factory was shut down, the school was emptied, and housewives also arrived at the scene in aprons.

This is Hawkins' big day.

Everyone wanted to hear how the mayor explained.

Is that fleeting light beam some newly developed secret laser weapon?

Is the transparent protective cover that blocks bullets a legendary energy protection layer?

Why did the helicopter spitting FBI attack them? Is it the KB attack, or is the war about to start?

However, they were destined to be disappointed.

Or they have to face reality.

All speculations attempting to speculate on the logic that they are familiar with are just pretending to face the scenes of phenomena beyond the scope of understanding.

Facing a pair of expectant, excited, crazy or fearful eyes, Smith did not evade or hide, let alone forcefully explain or be far-fetched. He bluntly told the truth about the matter.

"Yes, ladies and gentlemen, and lads, I know, you want to hear different answers from me, different answers than you think in your head. I know you think so, I can see it in your eyes."

"You are afraid, afraid, afraid that things are really as you think, afraid that the world suddenly becomes strange, and you are resisting accepting strange things."

"But. Unfortunately, as the mayor of Hawkinstown, I have a duty to wake you up, even if you are pretending to be asleep. I have to tell you the truth. Yes, that’s magic, or, more precisely, that’s witchcraft."

As soon as the words came out, the crowd below who had gradually calmed down immediately agitated.

Smith tapped on the microphone and pointed to Benny behind him sideways.

"There are many things in the wizarding world that everyone does not understand. The wizarding world is full of dangers, but fortunately, we have a strong guardian.

As you can see, the guardian will protect everyone's safety, keep everyone away from danger, and avoid the supernatural.

Now, please be quiet, please, Mr. Guardian! "

Applause in a mess. Amid the shouts and whistles, Benny was pulled to Smith.

"Benny Hammond, this young fellow from Hawkins,"

Smith put his arms around Benny's shoulders and looked back at Benny from top to bottom.

"Oh, well, maybe this is not appropriate, after all, Benny is already forty years old. But it doesn’t matter. Benny Hammond is a Hawkins, and everyone knows his experience since childhood. This is the most important thing. important."

The mess below is still messed up, Smith doesn't care about this, and motions the secretary to turn on the volume to the maximum, forcibly infusing his own voice into every Hawkins ear.

After introducing Benny and Benny greeted again, Smith took the microphone and continued to deliver his speech.

Maybe it was because I was tired from shouting, maybe the initial excitement passed, maybe the feverish mind gradually calmed down. When the time came to noon, the crowd who had been making trouble all morning finally gradually calmed down.

"...There are many dangers in the supernatural world, and many creatures in fairy tales are real. Demons, angels, ghosts, witches, fairies, elves... They are all real.

But they are not as powerful as described, nor as cute as described, their existence has always threatened the survival of mankind. Fortunately, we have a responsible guardian. Mr. Guardian will keep them out of Hawkinstown and let everyone live a safe life just like before..."

Smith was still making speeches endlessly. He described the dangers of the supernatural world over and over again, described the unfriendliness of supernatural creatures, described the meaning of the guardian's existence, described...

He described everything. Although many exaggerations were exaggerated, even Benny couldn't help blushing when he heard it, but his speech was very effective.

The crowd that was messy at first has become a bit numb under his repeated magic sound brainwashing. The excitement and excitement when he first saw the witchcraft, under Smith’s babble over and over again, began to appear ordinary, seeming to be the same as the launching. Missiles are no different...

The crowd gradually dispersed. The housewife remembered that she hadn't made dinner yet. The teacher was annoyed that there was no class today. The students were thankful that they didn't have to go to class today. They even secretly prayed that it would be better to come here every day. The workers in the factory are hard pressed, they have to work overtime to finish today's work...

The sky gradually dimmed, and when the last small group of people could not help but leave hungry, only a large pile of garbage was left flying in the cold wind in the crowded open space during the day.

Smith, who had completely changed his voice, trembled and put down the microphone, grabbed the water glass on the side, drank it, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Just about to turn around, standing for a long time has completely lost his legs and fell to the ground.

"Benny! You bastard! You can't help me!"

Smith yelled at Benny with a dumb voice, lying on the ground.

Benny hurried over to carry Smith back into the dining room.

Terry and Jason had already prepared their meals in the kitchen when it was upset outside.

This is Benny secretly confessed before being pulled on stage by Smith.

At that time he didn't know that Smith's speech would last fourteen hours!

He had planned to ask the police officers to eat after the people were sent away.

Fortunately, it is not too late.

The police officers were invited into the restaurant, a table of food was served, and beer was served. Benny walked around the police officers and walked into the private room.

Here, Smith, Hope, Noah, and Andy are waiting for him.

Compared with Hope and Smith, Noah and Andy looked a little more cautious, and even more nervously did not say a word when Benny came in.

Smith has no such confusion.

The old man was holding a bowl of hot porridge in his mouth snortingly.

After the bowl was dried up, the old man wiped his mouth and handed the empty bowl to Benny.

"one more bowl."

Hope got up, pulled Noah and Andy out of the room, and closed the door intimately.

Benny and Smith were left in the private room.

"Smith, thank you."

Benny thanked him sincerely.

Smith waved his hand, took the bowl, and stirred slowly in the bowl with the spoon, the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

"Ben, you are too impulsive to do things. All of today's actions are not what a qualified guardian should do. You have to know that every decision you make is related to everyone in Hawkinstown."

Benny nodded to be taught.

Smith went on to say

"Today's speech can only temporarily stabilize the townspeople. If you want to keep the secret, you have to act as soon as possible."

"What action?"

"Go to each house and explain things clearly and tell them why they don't expose the supernatural world to the public."

Smith glanced at Benny and said

"I know, you think these should have been the jobs of those in Washington. But you are the guardian, and you vowed to protect Hawkinstown. This is your job.

Moreover, this matter is a problem with you, and you must solve it as soon as possible. "

"Do you know why the supernatural world has existed for so long, but no one has disclosed it to the public?"

"It's not that no one does this.

In fact, in the long history, there has never been a shortage of people who attempt to expose the supernatural to the public. But they did not end well. "

"Let everyone know about the existence of supernatural creatures. This has always been something that some guys with ulterior motives want to do.

The secret guarded by countless people was suddenly exposed by you today, Benny, you have to clean up this mess as soon as possible, otherwise, it is not just Washington that is causing you trouble. "

Smith finished speaking, picked up a bowl and drank slowly.

Benny frowned and thought about Smith's words.

First of all, what he has to consider is the truthfulness of Smith's remarks.
