The red moon returns

Chapter 64: Strange and Human

His body was wrapped in animal skins, with dense tattoos drawn on his skin. His gray beard and hair were disheveled, and his eyes were half-open and half-closed, as if he was not awake.

The old man walked out of the forest surrounded by mountain people and walked straight towards the cabin.

There was a pressure that directly struck the soul as he looked around, and there seemed to be a faint electric light hidden in his eyes. The most important thing was that the old man took one step at a time.

In a real sense.

Every time he landed, the weeds he touched seemed to have suddenly lost their vitality. They withered and withered in an instant, leaving a withered footprint the size of a foot on the ground. From far to near, step by step, a strange string of withered yellow leaves appeared on the ground. The footprints lead toward the hut.

The speed is not fast, and he stops and goes, but every strange footprint is like a piercing death knell, hitting Lin Qi's heart hard.

Looking at this group of mountain people, Lin Qi once again saw a strange phenomenon before his eyes.

He seemed to see an endless sea of ​​corpses. A group of dog-faced monsters that he had seen in the photos were squatting next to the pile of corpses like people and raising their heads, with their big mouths filled with carrion and corpse liquid and the simple and honest expressions of the mountain people. The faces overlapped, giving Lynch an indescribable sense of weirdness and fear.

My damn inspiration doesn't even leave me any room for fantasy. These people are really all ghouls. I just entered a villa to investigate, but why did I encounter a group of monsters? Is this the power of the physique to attract mysterious events?
  As soon as Lynch came up with this idea, he felt the stiffness of the police officer's muscles from the contact limbs, and even his voice was a little dry: "Damn, it's a high-level one."

"Strong?"

"One look can crush us, and we don't even need a look." The police officer clenched her fists hard to control the shaking of her muscles. "His pressure is too strong. It's a natural reaction. I'm sorry."

Lin Qi felt cold in his heart and asked in a low voice: "How about hiding? The cellar or the attic on the ceiling, although it is smaller, you can hide."

"It's too easy to be discovered, and we are the police, representing the royal family and order. We are looking for missing persons normally. They should not dare to do anything at will."

The police officer held Lin Qi’s hand and whispered:

"Listen, Lynch, I will open the door later and identify myself as a police officer. I know how to scare them. You use your ability to hide and sneak out while the door is open. Go back to the city as soon as possible to notify Victor. Don't worry. , there is absolutely no danger on my side, you are just adding a layer of insurance for me and waiting for me to return to the city to meet up."

"Fart, if there is really no danger, you wouldn't have let me lurk to save my life. If you want me to hide, it means you don't have the confidence. You are not sure whether they will suddenly go crazy. Do you think I am a fool? What do you think? Insulting me in this way, let me tell you, woman, I have tolerated you for several days. I have never learned to escape. If you want to die together, you still owe me three conditions. I will not let you run away on your own. of."

The six humanoid mountain people outside had walked out of the dense woods and entered an open area less than ten meters around the hut. The sunlight penetrated through the forest and shone on the pointed roof of the hut, casting a sword-like shadow directed at them.

The old man observed as he walked, his eyes scanning the hut from time to time. Every time his eyes glanced at it, Lin Qi felt his heart tightening and the pressure was too great.

But Lynch grabbed the police officer and pulled her out of the window to avoid being seen from a distance by the mountain people outside.

"Don't go out and have direct contact with them. I don't like to leave life and death to others, especially when the people who make the decision are a group of monsters. I saw this old mountain man the other day. His perception seems to be very sharp. I actually found a way to survive." Idea, do you want to go crazy with me?"

"I also don't like letting mysterious creatures decide whether to live or die."

"Then listen to me. Let's hide in the attic warehouse first. It's best if we can't be discovered. If we are discovered, let me give it a try. If it doesn't work, we will take the risk again. At worst, we will die against my three conditions. If we are together, I won’t be at a loss either.”

"Who are the three conditions, you bastard." Even though she was feeling uneasy, the police officer punched him but did not retort and followed him to the master bedroom on the second floor.

The secret staircase leading to the attic is actually very hidden. If Officer Natalie hadn't understood the structure of houses in this era, it would have been difficult to discover it just now. The two of them first pulled down the hidden ladder leading to the attic, then lay down at the window and peered down.

I dare not look at the old mountain people, but my eyes can be on the other young mountain people.

These mountain people look similar to what they looked like in the telescope a few days ago. However, when viewed up close, they appear to be thicker and more oppressive.

They stayed downstairs for a while, checked around briefly, and then walked towards the cabin without concealment. Soon, the sound of the door lock being turned was heard at the door on the first floor.

Sure enough, they came here for this house. The mastermind in the photo frame should be contacting them, but I don't know what role each played here.

Lynch no longer hesitated and pointed to the top of his head. Officer Natalie didn't ask any questions, and the two climbed up to the attic together. It's said to be an attic, but it's actually a small half-story storage space, with a set of tables and chairs set up by Maya.

Almost at the same time that the door downstairs was forcibly broken open, the two of them also pulled up the hidden ladder, plunging the attic into darkness. In fact, there was a kerosene lamp on the table, but neither of them dared to light it, so they just touched it. Black listened to the movement downstairs.

With the sound of footsteps, the mountain people poured into the cabin, and the two finally heard their voices.

That's a pronunciation that can give you nightmares at night.

The speed is rapid and the pitch is similar to a baby's cry. Everyone's pronunciation is like this, extremely harsh.

I can barely understand the content, but when you can't see anyone in the dark attic and only hear this weird sound coming from below from time to time, it will inevitably make your hair stand on end.

Following a violent cough, an old voice that was particularly deep in comparison sounded.

"Look carefully and find the female reporter. I can smell her scent. She lives here. The sooner the better. Leave as soon as possible after searching, so as not to alarm the humans in Rhine City."

"Yes, Your Excellency, Priest."

Several mountain people responded sharply, and soon there was the sound of rough doors opening and closing on the first floor.

"Don't be so rude. We are human beings now. We must at least abide by the most basic human rules. Children, be a little gentleman. In addition, if you see a big cabinet with books, bring me a wooden frame inside. That People say it’s in the bookcase.”

Hiss... Lynch touched the empty photo frame that was brought up. After Officer Natalie destroyed it just now, the image on it had faded, and now it was just an ordinary photo frame. It seemed that the mastermind behind the empty picture frame left the picture frame in order to contact these mountain people, but the purpose was unknown. Fortunately, he destroyed his conspiracy earlier.

"Your Majesty the Priest, there are no female reporters on the first or second floor."

"It shouldn't be. The feeling on her body came from here. It was still there this morning. It's not wrong. The person also said she was here. And the same kind of smell she left is everywhere here. With my six senses , it can’t be wrong.” I don’t know if he sniffed or not, but the old priest’s voice suddenly paused and his tone became serious, “I smell the smell of a stranger, there is a living person here!”
