Chapter 27: Extreme weirdness and horror

Chen Gou and Dongli both rode to a small square in the middle of the village to stop, and several old men hurried over.
One of them, who looks more than fifty years old and still in good health, respectfully said: "Two knights, I am Baifang, the village head of Baishi Village. Thank you, the Holy See and the knight, the village is finally saved."
"No more nonsense, take us to see the bodies of the victims, and send someone to see our war horses and feed some water and beans!"
Dongli turned over the mountain and dismounted, and threw the reins to a young villager who could see.
Chen Gou did the same.
"Yes, Lord Knight, please follow me."
Under the leadership of the village chief, a group of villagers and members of the wildfire mercenary regiment rushed to the two abyss knights to the church where the bodies were temporarily stored.
This is a small church made of masonry adobe, which is a little bigger than the small song team's small courtyard in Rock City. There is no priest and bishop stationed by the Holy See.
"In the beginning, a month ago, a sick and unconscious girl suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, shouting and screaming, and then she was out of breath. We thought he was just too sick, so he didn't care much.
After a week, another boy suddenly disappeared like this in the middle of the night. He could not see any scars on his body, and only screamed.
Then five days later, an adult died tragically in the village, and this time there was a scar on his body, as if scratched by some kind of beast's claws, but we can be sure that no beast had ever entered their room ... "
"Interesting."
Bian Dongli was clearly interested in this weird event. He uncovered several white cloths on the ground and squatted down to examine the scars on his body.
Chen Gou also chose a corpse and studied it carefully.
He has not studied anatomy and is not familiar with the characteristics of scars caused by various attacks.
But the keen perception of the consciousness of the rank-order awakeners yields two very strong messages.
For one thing, the scars are not just claw marks, there are also scars such as sharp objects piercing organs or fractures caused by violent impact;
Secondly, the wounds on the deceased were and terrible, and their facial expressions were distorted, revealing the ultimate terror, as if they had suffered cruel torture before their lives.
"Three days later, someone died again, and the death became more and more terrible. Even his wife watched her husband sleep in the bed, but suddenly his stomach was torn and blood was pouring out."
The old village chief continued: "Then the time of the dead is getting shorter and shorter, and the dead are getting more and more. Until four days ago, every night, and more than one!"
In order to avoid the plague, the corpses in the early stage have been buried. Only the last ten days have been parked in the church, but the number is as many as a dozen.
Fatal injuries are not the same, but they all have one thing in common: their expressions are frightened.
"Based on the death of the corpse and the information available, I have reached several conclusions."
Wu Dongli said in a deep voice: "First, this is by no means an artificial feud. It must be a demon.
Second, the horrified expression of the deceased proved that the demon behind was a cruel, bloodthirsty metamorphosis. He enjoyed the horror of killing and enjoyed the horror of the slain.
Third, it can be inferred from the increasing number of deaths and shorter and shorter intervals that the power of demons is probably increasing.
What do you think? He finally consulted Chen Gou.
Chen Gou listened but didn't comment, and turned to several members of the Wildfire team: "How long have you been here, what did you find?"
"We came here three days ago and found some rules that we do n’t know are right or wrong-the demons only committed crimes at night, and the targets were random, with no shadows and no trace. Yesterday we happened to see a villager killed The whole process."
An ordinary-looking young woman came out of the wildfire team and said, "First, with expressions of horror and shouting, 'Don't, don't, go away' and the like, your limbs twitched as if resisting something, and then the whole person suddenly flew up The most powerful players in our standing team couldn't hold back.
Finally, after knocking our teammates into the air, he hit his head on the beam of the room, shattered it, and spilled the floor. "
Chen Gou heard his brow go slightly, but still asked: "What do you infer?"
"We think that there are two possibilities for the characteristics of the demon. The first is that it has very powerful stealth skills. Other than the victim, others cannot see it;
The second is that its attack method is spiritual soul, which can kill people invisible over a long distance. "
Although the young woman is young, she is the captain of the wildfire clan, she knows everything.
Because under the covenant of the covenant, anyone has an obligation to help the messenger of the Holy See to complete the task.
What's more, 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 to establish a foothold near Rock City in the future.
无 An unknown squad like them, if they want to grow, must have a patron in the Holy See.
Although the two abyss knights are very young to hear, but only then can the newly promoted knights be able to accept their investment.
Otherwise, any abyss Cavaliers with neat personnel would not be able to look at wildfire more.
"No, there is something wrong with both of what you said."
At this time, Chen Gouban shook his head in contemplation and said, "If it is invisible, most of the victims have their eyes closed until death, then how did the expression of fear on their faces come?
If it is a mental attack, the expression is explained, it is likely to be caught in some terrible illusion, but the death method of this attack should be spiritual collapse, soul annihilation, and no obvious trauma on the body is possible! "
"Is it possible that these two situations are combined?" Dongli frowned.
He feels that he may have been entrusted before. This task is afraid to be very difficult, but he has a mask on his face ~ EbookFREE.me ~ No one can see his expression change.
"It's unlikely. If it has both the invisible mental skills and the invisibility that even the demon hunter can't detect, then he doesn't need to slowly recover his strength and slaughter the entire village. "
另外 "Also, I agree with you very much-the power of this demon is increasing, or he is recovering. What is it ... I'm afraid we need to vigil tonight to know for ourselves."
Chen Gou's logical thinking ability has always been good. He tried to find the truth hidden behind the appearance.
"It can only be so." Dongli nodded.
A lot of things are just hearing and seeing is believing, and after everything is retold by others, it will deviate more or less from reality.
So Chen Gou and Dongli directly ordered the village chief to gather all the villagers on the square in front of the church. A few large bonfires were used to warm the middle. Everyone had dinner here for the night.
It is mid-autumn, and the temperature is not very cold at night. The villagers are tortured by the fear of death and are about to collapse, so they have no resistance to this order.
I only hope that the abyss knights sent by the Holy See can find out the demons behind them.
The advantage of this is that no matter which villager is attacked tonight, they can see it for the first time.
All villagers surround the bonfire in the four directions of southeast and northwest, and the ground is covered with straw mats or bedding.
The Takino Fire Squadron was placed outside the square to monitor everything that could approach it.
Chen Gou and Dongli stood in the middle and looked around.
勾 Chen Gou's eyes glanced at the villagers and members of the wildfire clan from time to time. He suspected that the demon might become a human appearance hidden in the crowd like the Green Beast ...
