Chen Gou and Dongli rode to a small square in the middle of the village and stopped. Several elderly people hurried over.

One of them, who looked more than 50 years old and was still healthy, said respectfully: "Two Lord Knights, I am Bai Fang, the head of White Stone Village. Thank you to the Holy See and Lord Knight. The village is finally saved. Now."

"Nonsense, take us to see the dead bodies of the victims, and send someone to take good care of our horses and feed some water and beans!"

Horse, threw the reins to a young villager with a vision.

Chen Gou did the same.

"Yes, Lord Knight, please come with me."

Under the leadership of the village chief, a group of villagers and members of the wildfire mercenary group came crowding two Abyss Knights. Go to the church where the body is temporarily stored.

This is a small sect hall built of masonry and adobe, which is a bit larger than the small courtyard of Changge Team in Rock City. It is not at all the priests and bishops stationed by the Holy See.

"At first a month ago, a girl who was sick and unconscious suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, yelled, and then lost her breath. We thought he was just too sick and didn’t care too much. .

A week later, another boy suddenly disappeared in the middle of the night like this. There were no scars on his body, and he just yelled.

Five days later, There was an adult in the village who died tragically. This time there was a scar on his body, like some kind of wild beast sharp claw scratch, but we can be sure that not at all wild beasts have entered their room in this world..."

"Interesting."

Dongli was obviously interested in this weird incident. He successively uncovered the white cloth covering several corpses on the ground, squatting down to examine the wounds on his body.

Chen Gou also selected a corpse and studied it carefully.

He has never learned Dissection, nor is he proficient in the characteristics of scars caused by various attacks.

However, the keen perception of the awakened person of the rank has two very strong messages.

First, scars are not only claw marks, but also scars caused by sharp objects piercing organs or fractures caused by violent impact;

Second, bloody terrifying wounds on the deceased, The facial expression was distorted, revealing the ultimate horror, as if he had been cruelly tortured during his lifetime.

"Three days later, someone died again, and the state of death became more terrifying. Even a wife watched her husband sleeping in bed, but suddenly her stomach tore and blood gushed out of internal organs. "

The old village chief continued: "Then the time for death became shorter and shorter, and more and more people died. Until four days ago, people would die every night, and more than one!"

In order to avoid the plague, the corpses of the early stage have been buried. Only those who died in the last ten days are parked in the church, but the number is as many as a dozen.

Fatal injuries are not the same, but they all have one common feature, that is, their expressions are frightened.

"According to the death of the corpse and the existing information, I have reached several conclusions."

Dongli said solemnly: "First, this is by no means a vendetta by who. The incident must have been caused by demons.

Secondly, the horrified expression of the deceased proved that the demons behind him were cruel and bloodthirsty perverts who took pleasure in killing and enjoyed the horror of the murdered.

Thirdly, from the increasing number of deaths and shorter time intervals, it can be inferred that the power of demons is likely to be increasing.

What do you think?" He finally consulted Chen Gou opinion.

Chen Gou heard the indifferent expression and turned to several people in the Wildfire team and asked: "How long have you been here and what have you found?"

"We were three days ago I just came, and found some rules that I don’t know what is right or wrong-demons only commit crimes at night, and their targets are random. Come and go without a shadow or trace. Yesterday we were lucky enough to see the whole process of a villager being killed."

An ordinary-looking young woman walked out of the Wildfire team and said: "First, she shouted in horror, like words like'No, no, go away', her limbs twitched as if she was resisting something, and then the whole Suddenly he flew by himself, and the most powerful players in our team couldn't hold it down.

Finally, after he smashed our team into flight, his head hit the beam of the room, broke directly, and spilled. One place."

Chen Gou hearing this brows moved slightly, but still indifferent expression: "What do you infer?"

"We think there are two possibilities for the characteristics of demons , First is that it has a very powerful stealth skill, except the victim, others cannot see it;

second is that its attack method is a spiritual soul type, which can kill people from a very long distance Yu Wutang."

Although the woman is young, she is the Captain of the Wildfire team. She knows everything she can say.

Because under the rule of the Holy See of the Covenant, anyone has an obligation to help the emissaries of the Holy See complete their tasks.

Furthermore, she also has her own plan-if she can take this opportunity to get in touch with the two Abyss Knights, it will undoubtedly help the Wildfire team gain a foothold near Rock City in the future.

If an unknown small team like them wants to grow, they must have a backing in the Holy See.

Although Knights in these two abysses are very young to hear, it is only in this way that the newly promoted Knights can accept their contribution.

Otherwise, any well-staffed Abyss Knight team would be impossible to take another look at the wildfire.

"No, there is something wrong with the two you said."

At this time, Chen Gou shook his head while thinking: "If it is invisible, most of the victims People close their eyes until they die, so how did the fearful expression on their faces come from?

If it’s Spirit Attack, the expression might be explained. It’s probably a terrifying illusion, but this The method of death for this attack should be soul annihilation, impossible physical trauma!"

"Is there a combination of these two conditions?" Dongli frowns saying ã ‚

He feels that he may have grown bigger before. This task is probably quite tricky, but with a mask on his face, no one can see the change in his expression.

"It’s unlikely. If it has the mental skills that can kill people invisible, but it can also be invisible even when hunting Fiend, then he doesn’t need to slowly regain his strength. The whole village has been slaughtered."

"In addition, I agree with your point of view-the power of this demon is increasing, or he is recovering. What is it... I am afraid we need tonight Stay vigil and try to find out for yourself."

Chen Gou's logical thinking ability has always been good, and he tries to pull out the cocoon and find out the truth hidden behind the appearance.

"This can only be done." Dongli nodded and said.

Many things are fictitious by hearing, and seeing is believable, and after being relayed by others, everything will deviate from reality more or less.

So Chen Gou and Dongli directly ordered the village chief to gather all the villagers in the square in front of the church. Several large bonfires were placed in the middle to keep warm. Everyone spent the night here after dinner.

It is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the temperature at night is not very cold, the villagers are tortured by the fear of death to the verge of collapse, so there is no resistance to this order.

I only hope that the Abyss Knight sent by the Holy See can find out the evil behind it.

The advantage of this is that no matter which villager is attacked tonight, they can immediately see it.

All the villagers are surrounded by the bonfire in four directions: East, South, West, and North, and the ground is covered with straw mats or bedding.

The wildfire team is arranged on the periphery of the square to monitor everything that may be close to you.

Chen Gou and Dongli stood in the middle, looking around.

Chen Gou's gaze swept over the villagers and members of the Wildfire Team from time to time. He suspected that the evil demon might become a human appearance and hide in the crowd like the Green Beast...
