Chapter 493 Hidden Crisis
After clearing the dishes on the table, the swordsman carefully observed his surroundings, picked up a shovel and started digging in a corner of the backyard.
In the empty house of the small mountain village, people were standing in front of the windows again. They watched the swordsman digging the soil with expressionless faces.
Soon, the swordsman dug out a pile of chicken bones that had been gnawed clean. He took off one of his clothes and carefully collected the chicken bones.
One piece of clothing was not enough, so the swordsman took off another one. After collecting two large bags of chicken bones and making sure that nothing was left out, the swordsman brought them to the center of the yard, piled them with the dry firewood he had chopped in the morning, and then lit a fire.
Then the swordsman started another fire at a distance and threw the body of the big red rooster on it. An unspeakable stench came instantly, making the swordsman frown.
When the fire went out and everything turned to ashes, the swordsman put the package on his back and left with the help of his bamboo stick. This was a habit only for the elderly, and the young swordsman could not change it in a short time.
The blurry figures in front of the window watched the swordsman leave quietly until they could no longer be seen. Then these figures gradually faded and then disappeared.
This is a deserted little mountain village, and it will remain like this from now on.
"I'm so tired. Damn it. Playing a game is more tiring than working overtime!"
After hastily finishing lunch, Liu Lang, with a look of despair on his face, took Zhao Xi and others to continue to carry out the mission of the Demon Suppression Division.
In fact, he was still fine. After all, players didn't need to sleep. But it was different for Zhao Xi and the others. They had been busy all night and their eyes were now bloodshot.
"No, this is my little treasure, no one can take it away from me again!!"
Liu Lang felt tired. Is it necessary to make the NPCs in this game so realistic? Sometimes it really makes me feel exhausted while playing the game!
"Auntie, don't lie to yourself. Your little treasure is dead."
Liu Lang did not try to comfort him. Instead, he put the extremely cold and cruel facts directly in front of this person. They had no time to waste.
The demon-suppressing people rushed forward, separated the crying mother and son, and then restrained the woman forcefully, leaving only a five-year-old boy with tears on his face, crying for his mother.
Liu Lang sent out a probe, and unsurprisingly, it resulted in a string of question marks. But this was enough to show that the little boy in front of him was at least not a normal person. As for whether he was a monster or a dead person, how would Liu Lang know?
"Take him away."
The little boy was taken away, and the woman tried to cover up for him, but was reported by her neighbors. This was not the first time this had happened. In order to find out the deaths in the city as soon as possible, Liu Ruyan arranged for people to issue some measures in the city.
"My Lord, isn't that right?"
A thin young man rubbed his hands and a flattering smile appeared on his face. He was the woman's younger brother and was usually taken care of by his sister.
"give him."
Liu Lang nodded, and a demon-suppressing man behind him came forward with an expressionless face and gave him a handful of silver and a bag of fine grain. Ignoring the man's thanks, Liu Lang walked out.
Now he just hopes that time can pass quickly so that he can get some good brothers to come over and share the burden on his shoulders.
"Brother, how is the situation over there?"
In Dongcheng District, An Xue was holding her purple sword and chatting with Mu Feng with a communication talisman. She was responsible for guarding the area in front of her. Once a group of people gathered to cause trouble or an unexpected situation occurred, An Xue would be responsible for handling it.
"There's nothing unusual here. Xiaoxue, please be extremely alert and notify me immediately if there's any situation!"
"Oh, I see."
An Xue responded that Mu Feng had never seen such a city-wide strange incident. He reminded An Xue at the beginning that the monsters involved in this incident might be extremely terrifying, so he asked An Xue to be careful.
But as it stands now, there seems to be no substantial danger?
Just as An Xue was thinking this, she suddenly had a fever. Suddenly, she heard screams and cries from a crowd not far away. An Xue also vaguely heard someone shouting that someone was dead!
Without hesitation, An Xue quickly took out the communication talisman and notified everyone, then stepped on the purple sword and quickly flew towards the accident site.
“Ghost! Help!!”
"Don't come over here. Every wrong has its perpetrator. Go find Sun Mazi~!!"
"..."
When An Xue arrived, her face froze instantly. She saw a middle-aged man with blood all over his face and a sunken skull. He was chasing a passerby with his eyes wide open and an expressionless face!
There were still two demon-suppressors lying on the ground, groaning in pain. From the wounds on their chests and arms, as well as the bloody nails on the hands of the corpse-like middle-aged man, it was not difficult to analyze what had just happened.
An Xue did not dare to delay and quickly made a sword gesture. The purple sword turned into a residual image and instantly pierced through the middle-aged man's eyebrows. However, a strange scene appeared. Although the red and white brain tissue flowed all over the ground, the middle-aged man's footsteps only paused slightly.
Then, he walked straight towards An Xue!
An Xue's face turned slightly pale. Looking at the big hole, she felt extremely disgusted. But now was not the time to hesitate. Since one sword didn't work, she would use a few more swords.
Shadow Sword!
The middle-aged man who rushed forward stopped and fell to the ground like a collapsed building block.
But he still didn't die.
Panic began to spread. After all, the scene in front of them was indeed horrifying. In a pool of blood, a mutilated corpse that looked unrecognizable as a human was crawling towards An Xue little by little with its mouth wide open and biting the soil with its gums for leverage.
An Xue felt a chill in her heart, and a cold knife light suddenly shot out, hitting the mutilated corpse on the ground, which quickly froze and shattered into ice chips.
This time, he finally "died".
"Don't be nervous, the demon has been killed!"
Liu Ruyan's calm and steady voice sounded, and the panicked crowd gradually stopped the riot. The demon-suppressing people took all the witnesses away. After investigating the situation, Wu Xinrou, Liu Ruyan, Mu Feng and others who came over all looked solemn.
The incident was very simple. Sun Mazi's father, who was eaten by a demon, returned home last night. However, when Sun Mazi's father was alive, he often abused Sun Mazi at home. The memories and personalities of these dead people were exactly the same as those of the living. So after a conflict, Sun Mazi smashed his father's head with a hammer.
"We're in big trouble."
Liu Ruyan muttered to herself, and Wu Xinrou also realized the seriousness of the problem.
"I'll keep an eye on the dead men."
Wu Xinrou spoke, then turned and left. It was right not to choose to take action directly. If these dead bodies were not handled properly, the situation in Qingzhou City would be out of control in an instant!
