Chapter 27

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

One of them, who was in his fifties and still strong, respectfully said, "two knights, I'm Bai Fang, the village head of Baishi Village. Thank the Holy See and knights. The village is finally saved."

"Cut the crap, take us to see the bodies of the victims, and send someone to watch our horses and feed some water and beans!"

Dongli climbed down the mountain and threw the reins to a discerning young villager.

Chen Gou did the same.

"Yes, please come with me."

Under the guidance of the village head, a group of villagers and members of the wild fire mercenary regiment gathered two abyss knights to the church where the bodies were temporarily stored.

This is a small church built of brick and adobe, which is a little larger than the courtyard of the long song team in rock city. There are no priests and bishops stationed by the Holy See.

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

A week later, another boy also disappeared in the middle of the night. He couldn't see any scars on his body. He just shouted.

Then five days later, an adult in the village died miserably. This time, there were scars on his body, like the claws of some kind of beast, but we can be sure that no beast has entered their room in the world... "

"Interesting."

Dongli was obviously interested in this strange event. He successively uncovered the white cloth covered on several bodies on the ground, squatted down and carefully examined the scars on his body.

Chen Gou also chose a body and studied it carefully.

He had not studied anatomy and was not proficient in the characteristics of wounds caused by various attacks.

But the sharp perception of the awakened person of the grade gets two very strong messages.

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

Second, the wounds on the dead were bloody and terrible, and their facial expressions were distorted, showing extreme terror, as if they had suffered cruel torture before their death.

"Later, three days later, another person died, and the death became more and more terrible. Even a wife watched her husband sleep in bed, but suddenly her stomach was torn and visceral blood gushed out."

The old village head continued: "later, the time of death became shorter and shorter, and more and more people died. Until four days ago, there were more than one dead person every night!"

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

Fatal injuries are different, but they all have a common feature, that is, panic.

"Based on the dead body and the available information, I have come to several conclusions."

Dongli said in a deep voice, "first, this is by no means a man-made vendetta. It must be caused by evil spirits.

Second, the frightened expression of the Dead proves that the evil devil behind him is a cruel and bloodthirsty pervert who takes pleasure in killing, and he enjoys the horror of the killed.

Third, from the increasing number of deaths and the shorter time interval, it can be inferred that the power of evil spirits is likely to be increasing.

What do you think? " He finally asked Chen Gou for advice.

After hearing this, Chen Gou refused to comment. Instead, he asked several people of the wildfire team, "how long have you been here and what have you found?"

"We only came three days ago and found some rules that we don't know are correct or incorrect - evil demons only commit crimes at night, and their targets are random. We were lucky to see the whole process of a villager's murder yesterday."

An ordinary looking young woman came out of the wildfire team and said, "first, she looked frightened and shouted words such as' don't, don't, go away '. Her limbs twitched as if she was resisting something. Then the whole person suddenly flew up by herself, and the most powerful member of our team couldn't hold back.

Finally, after he bumped our team members off, he hit his head on the beam, broke it directly and spilled it all over the ground. "

Chen Gou walked slightly when he heard the speech, but he was still noncommittal: "what inference do you have?"

"We believe that there are two possibilities for the characteristics of an evil spirit. The first is that it has very powerful stealth skills, and no one can see it except the victim;

The second is that its attack method is spirit and soul. It can kill people invisible from a very long distance. "

Although the woman is young, she is the captain of the wildfire team. She knows everything and says everything.

Because under the rule of the Holy See, everyone has the obligation to help the envoys of the Holy See complete their tasks.

Moreover, she also has her own plan - if she can take this opportunity to establish a relationship with the two abyss knights, it will undoubtedly be of great help to the wildfire team to gain a foothold near Rock City in the future.

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

Although the two abyss Knights listen to their voices very young, only in this way can the newly promoted Knights be able to accept their service.

Otherwise, any well-organized abyss knight team can't look at the wildfire more.

"No, both of what you said don't make sense."

At this time, Chen Goubian shook his head and said, "if they are invisible, most victims close their eyes until they die, how do they get the expression of fear on their faces?

If it is a mental attack, the expression explains that it is likely to fall into some terrible illusion, but the death method of this attack should be mental collapse, soul annihilation, and there can be no obvious trauma on the body! "

"Is it possible that these two situations are combined?" Dongli frowned.

He felt that he might have been entrusted too much before. The task was afraid to be quite difficult. He just wore a mask on his face, and no one could see the change of his expression.

"It's impossible. If it not only has the spiritual skill of killing people invisibly, but also can be invisible even to the demon hunter, he doesn't need to recover his strength slowly and would have slaughtered the whole village long ago."

"In addition, I agree with you very much - the power of this evil devil is increasing, or he is recovering. What is it... I'm afraid we need to watch tonight and test it ourselves."

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

"That's the only way." Dongli nodded.

Many things are false to hear and true to see, and anything will deviate from reality after being reported by others.

So Chen Gou and Dongli directly ordered the village head to gather all the villagers on the square in front of the church, light a few big bonfires in the middle to keep warm, and everyone spent the night here after dinner.

Now it is the Mid Autumn Festival. The temperature is not very cold at night. The villagers are suffering from the fear of death and are on the verge of collapse. Therefore, they have no resistance to this order.

I just hope the abyss Knight sent by the Holy See can find out the evil spirit behind it.

The advantage of this is that no matter which villager is attacked tonight, they can see it for the first time.

All the villagers surrounded the campfire in the four directions of southeast and northwest, with grass mats or bedding on the ground.

The wildfire brigade was arranged outside the square to monitor all possible figures.

Chen Gou and Dongli stood in the middle and looked around.

Chen Gou's eyes swept over the villagers and members of the wildfire team from time to time. He suspected that the evil devil might become a human appearance like the green Beast and hide in the crowd
