In a small pine forest with sparse trees, a thin young man sat on his side under a thick pine tree. His head is slightly slanted, clinging to the trunk, like a man who has been tired for a long time resting on the pine tree for a while.
However, he was facing the people's faces, but showed a pale, purple lips and lusterless eyes, all of which showed that the breath of life had gone away from the young man.
"Carmen!" John knelt in front of his companion, choking. He and Carmen had a better relationship than the handsome Allen.
In fact, Carmen, who is easy-going and humorous, has a good relationship with almost every one of them. He is the lubricant among the five of them. Because of Carmen's existence, the grumpy John can get along with the somewhat arrogant Alan for so long, but not go their separate ways.
Looking at Carmen's body, Allen and others fell into a long silence.
Although the death of the mother and daughter and the elderly couple has reminded them of their current situation all the time, only when the death really comes to the heads of five people can they feel the real pain. In addition to the rabbit's sad death, they were overwhelmed by more fear.
Now it's Carmen. Who's next?
"Listen to you monster, I will kill you like a chicken, you know, you wait for me!" John suddenly stood up and roared excitedly around the pine forest.
"BAM bam!" He raised his hand and fired three aimlessly at colt python.
"Click!" A bullet from the colt Python broke a pine branch on Natasha's head, which was about two meters long and fell heavily.
"Huh?!" In the moment when the pine branch fell, Qin Lun's right eye opened and closed, and the silver clock plate flashed away. A rusty iron nail on the pine branch entered his field of vision.
The nail cap of the iron nail embedded in the branch has been rusted and broken. I'm afraid that its cross-section is no more blunt than that of the nail tip. When it falls down, it just aims at Natasha's spiritual cover.
It is estimated that it was left by a former forest ranger, perhaps for pulling banners, or for other unknown purposes. Anyway, after work, he didn't pull out the nail.
Qin Lun's hamstring jumped hard, but when he saw the fat man three meters behind Natasha, he stiffly endured the instinct of his body and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Be careful!" Natasha only heard a burst of drink behind her, and she felt her body rising.
At the next moment, a huge black shadow covered the sky above and pressed heavily on her.
"Ah ~" Natasha couldn't help screaming. She felt her bones were crushed. Some biscuits and mineral water that she had eaten in a hurry in the morning all rushed up her throat from her stomach.
"What are you doing, you bastard? It's just a branch, a branch, you know?" John took the fat man's collar angrily, picked him up from the ground and said sarcastically, "it's not a tenth of your weight..."
Donald lowered his head and didn't speak. No one could see the expression on his face. So he let John grasp himself.
"Natasha, are you ok?" When John scolded Donald, Allen looked at Natasha with concern.
However, the girl didn't seem to hear her boyfriend's greeting, just stared at the thick branch, it seemed that she had found the rusty nails on it.
Natasha's face suddenly turned white, and her lips trembled into Allen's arms, reaching for the nails on the branch.
"What's the matter? It's just a small nail. Your luck will not..." Natasha's strange appearance soon attracted other people's attention. John also noticed the nails, and then his voice became smaller and smaller, his face slowly began to turn blue, unconsciously loosening Donald's collar.
He may have more muscle than brain, but he's not a fool either. There is a mysterious force that has been staring at them all the time. Obviously, there is no luck for them. It can even be said that there was only a one in a billion chance of bad luck, and it will directly become one in 100.
If fatso hadn't pushed Natasha away, they would have had another companion die in a very unexpected situation, and he killed it himself.
"I I didn't mean to... " John squatted down slowly with his head covered. For the first time in his life, he felt cold all over his body. A chill rushed to his brain from the tail vertebra. He has always been strong as a cow and never felt this way. Even when he saw Carmen's body just now, his first emotion was anger.
Alan was also staring at the nails on the branch. He suddenly found out that when Natasha was in danger, he did not have the illusion of foreknowledge
Qin lunmo silently swept the faces of all the people, and his heart was filled with the same pleasure of drug taking.
Their fear, confusion, regret, depression All fell into his eyes, let him feel the human heart is so novel and interesting.
At the same time, Qin Lun's thinking is also under the influence of adrenal hormones, running fast. The more frequent the mysterious force appears, the deeper his cognition of it will be.At least, this time, Natasha's distress gave him a piece of information
At first, he thought that the mysterious power could not manipulate intelligent creatures in any way, but now it seems that this idea is biased.
John's three shots just now are too coincidental. If they are not affected by the mysterious force, they can never break the branch. At the same time, this kind of accident can not be calculated in advance, so the big guy must have been affected just now.
This shows that the mysterious power can indirectly affect the behavior of intelligent creatures when their emotions are nearly out of control. As for why it's indirect, it's very simple that John didn't shoot Natasha directly.
"Alan, you just..." Suddenly, what did Qin Lun think of? He turned to Alan and asked.
"I didn't have a vision just now!" Before Qin Lun finished, Allen knew what he wanted to ask. He replied with a livid face, letting everyone hear it, and his heart sank again.
If so, I think I know why that mysterious force has attracted all the targets to Arcadia.
Qin Lun lowered his head slightly, showing a cold smile from an angle that no one could see.
Every time that mysterious power appears, it is always accompanied by death, so it is regarded as the game of death for the time being.
If reincarnation and apostles do not get involved in the world, then for ordinary people, even those with such natural talents as Allen and visionary visions, it may be difficult to escape the game of death in the end.
However, after all, the reincarnation and apostles have come, and the number is quite large, which is beyond the control of the game of death. Reincarnation and apostles far surpass the physical quality of ordinary people, which can make them escape in many desperate situations.
If you don't want to really attract the attention of the world, death can't be aimed at these people again and again. After all, no matter how coincidental the incident is, it will inevitably attract the attention of interested people.
Since it is impossible to increase the number of accidents and injuries, we can only strengthen the design from a technical point of view to make the traps more delicate and difficult to detect.
But before we can do this, someone in Allen's team must be marginalized. That is Allen himself. No matter how delicate his design is, he can't resist the illusion of foreknowledge.
Before Natasha was in danger, Qin Lun didn't know what the God of death would do. Now he roughly guessed how the God of death would invalidate Allen's ability to predict, which is also the main purpose of the God of death to bring them to Arcadia.
Qin Lun guessed that Allen's prediction was only aimed at the law of cause and effect distorted by the God of death, but he could not see the normal law of cause and effect, otherwise he would not only foresee the process segments of the game of the God of death, but should foresee all kinds of future pictures.
Since Allen can only foresee the distorted law of cause and effect of death, what will happen if there are some other mysterious forces involved in it?
That's what death did. The attack on Natasha just now may have been a test. As it turns out, he did it!
Carmen's death and John's anger had nothing to do with the game of death, and it interfered with Allen's visions. But for Donald's timely action, Natasha would have been dead just now.
"Cheer up, everyone. Isn't Natasha OK?" Just as Qin Lun was thinking, the fat man who had just been a hero suddenly clapped his hands and forced a smile, "besides, we have other things to do, at least don't leave Carmen in the air."
John, squatting on the ground, stood up slowly, took off his coat and walked towards Carmen without expression. The fat man's words moved him. No matter what, he didn't want to see his friends die in peace.
"Dong!" However, just as John reached out to close Carmen's eyes, the head of the body rolled off his neck, which made John stand up suddenly and stare round his eyes.
When Alan and others saw Carmen, he had a big hole in the chest, and some of his ribs were smashed, and some of his internal organs were pulled out. It seemed that some powerful monster dug his heart, which was in line with the characteristics of the crime of the fjord monster.
It's just that Carmen's mouth, leaning against the trunk, spits a lot of blood, covering his chin, neck to the upper part of his chest, without anyone noticing the wound on his neck.
But now John pulled the body, and his head fell off. People found that the real cause of his death was not the wound on his chest, but the sharp knife and axe.
"What happened to him? Did the fjord monster really kill him? " People looked at Carmen's smooth and neat neck section, and they were all confused for a while.
"It's interesting. It's getting more and more interesting!" The light in Qin Lun's eyes became more and more vigorous, and he almost suppressed it, so he controlled himself from laughing excitedly. "Reincarnation and apostles obviously can't do such things, that is to say There is a third mysterious power in Arcadia... "
