Lu Ning didn't know whether she should be grateful that she was on the devil's side.
She could feel that the spreading hair was a variation of the skill "Demon Arms", but the identity of the opponent was still unknown. But after knowing all this, it would not bring fear to her. The trouble was to pretend to be an extremely complicated expression of "clearly feeling scared but pretending to be calm due to personality factors".
But since the people around her showed no flaws, she could only try hard.
"Inahara, what happened just now?" Karl asked.
"My greedy wolf went up and grabbed that thing, but it braided a strand of hair into a whip and scattered both of them with one blow! Sorry, I may not be able to help... Maybe Suiyama... "
"We don't know when those people will notice the problem here. Even if you don't come here now, there might be trouble over there too!" Karl pushed Inahara into the crowd, raised the revolver, and moved to the corridor leading to the front yard. At the door, he pushed the door open suddenly.
"What are you going to do! Karl!" Shen Lishu tapped his cane hard, "Now that you are out, all the time you spent in front of you will be wasted! Do you understand?"
"Professor Shen..." Karl turned his head and grinned, "I have no intention of completing this task tonight."
After he said this, he rolled on the spot and entered the front yard, then pointed the gun at the roof and fired all six bullets!
The wailing sounded, and the hair suddenly began to grow rapidly. A large number of hair strands penetrated the objects in the room, quickly cutting them into scars. People also hurriedly ran to both ends of the corridor. The ones going to the door were okay, but Lu Ning and a few People who ran towards the restaurant immediately discovered that a large amount of hair had already spread to half of the restaurant along the windows with two big holes!
"Help! Help!" Qiu Yiyun shouted in collapse. Lu Ning had no choice but to sigh and took off an incendiary bomb coated with red paint from his belt.
In order to cope with various situations, she took all the weapons she brought in and put them on her body. As a result... they came in handy anyway.
The flames exploded and ignited along with the hair, which slightly slowed down their spread. Lu Ning took the lead and rushed directly to the back door of the restaurant. The others also chose the former between life and mission.
The power of the incendiary bombs in this era was only average, and they were quickly suppressed by the rapid growth of hair and extinguished. Lu Ning hurriedly walked around the front yard and found that Carl had already changed the second round of bullets and continued to shoot the demon on the roof, and the demon was just like Zhu You said - very much like a bat.
There is a lot of hair hanging from the top of its head. Its head and neck are very thin, but its body is quite fat. A bunch of bat wings sprouted from its back, and now it has begun to flap and rise into the air. The demon's green eyes stared at Karl fiercely, and a pair of sharp claws slowly raised up like a spear-like tissue.
But Carl's bullet was enough to hurt it. It didn't look like an ordinary bullet. When it was fired, it flashed with silver-white fire. The demon was actually avoiding the direct hit of the bullet, and Lu Ning was at this distance. , and deep down in my heart, I felt extremely unwilling to be hit by that kind of bullet.
The tourist side is also a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.
Therefore, Lu Ning quite admired this devil who dared to take action directly. After all, judging from the introduction, if demons have something to fear, then humans can find or directly use these powers. Who knows if the distribution center will arrange some powerful combatants for humans? Those seemingly beautiful skills are definitely not meant for a demon to use head-on.
This demon really did this.
Several spears were generated from the arm, and then the demon flew up, raised his hand and threw the spears out. The spears exploded in the air and turned into a rain of thorns in an instant, completely covering Karl below!
"Danger!"
A loud shout from Shen Lishu came from the distance, and at the same time, an extremely swift figure rushed directly into the front yard, pulled off his coat and rolled it up, while reaching out and pulling Karl's arm and rolling quickly to the side.
Lu Ning felt as if he saw a flash of yellow light, and the spear thrown by the demon with four times the force was deflected by a coat pocket. The two of them were not injured at all except for being covered in dirt.
The demon on the roof was also obviously dumbfounded.
"Thank you, madam, I owe you my life." Karl turned over and patted the dirt on his body. Ye Chuqing, who had saved him in an emergency, put her somewhat tattered coat on her shoulders, shook her head and said, "You're welcome, let's help each other." It’s as it should be.”
"It ran away!"
Qu Siyuan's roar came from a distance. The demon was obviously wary of people's strength. He immediately flew into the sky, turned around and flew away into the distance. Although many of the tourists seemed to have some skills, none of them could fly.
"Luo Nan, Milly or Zhong Feiying." Lu Ning narrowed her eyes, "Those three are the only ones who are not present."
"Yeah..." Fujii Yukine whispered something, but Lu Ning didn't hear it clearly.
Although the demon was successfully scared off this time, the situation of everyone was not very optimistic. Most people ran out of the house in order to save people or cover, which meant that all the time this night was in vain. The few who did not leave the house included Xia Xinhe and his wife, Feng Hui and Peng Morong, who were moving a little slower, and the three people who had not come to support for a long time.
They were just now coming from the depths of the corridor.
"Karl, what's going on?" Robert walked first, holding a silver coin in his hand, frowning slightly, as if he had just solved a problem, and his expression became even more serious when he saw people all running outside. Somewhat unpleasant.
"Demon." Karl put the gun back on his waist, "You didn't hear any movement over there?"
"Locked environment." Robert shook the coins in his hand, "It took a while to open the door to the room, and no sound from outside could come in at all."
Engraved on the coin was a magic circle that looked like a door. Lu Ning's knowledge did not include this, but she did not feel afraid. It should be that the coin itself was not lethal.
Robert talked about the situation he encountered there, while Tachikawa Ryo and Sugiyama Rio added some details. Generally speaking, when everyone heard the sound of water on the roof, the three people who were very vigilant had already woken up, but they immediately found that everything around them turned green.
Unless no lighting is used, everything in the room will look green, and it will be difficult to distinguish the furnishings or even the people inside. Under such conditions, it took a lot of time just to find the correct senses, and then they also found that the door was locked.
"It is a very powerful blocking force. I almost exhausted the power of my star silver coins before I opened the door. After we came out, the view returned to normal, and then we found that your side was in chaos." Robert put the coin into the chest of his shirt. Pocket, glanced at the others, "So we can only make a compromise plan tonight?"
"Yes." Fujii Yukine nodded, "The situation you encountered, although I don't know who did it, it should be some kind of witch's punishment."
green room.
The person is imprisoned in a completely green room, provided with a green light source, and the food provided is all green or transparent. There will be no torture, it is just imprisonment like this.
In such an extreme environment, people's spirits gradually become tired or even collapse, and they eventually begin to follow their instincts and crave the color that is opposite to the world they see - red.
"Although it is just a legend, you must have been subjected to a similar curse. Since you can escape, it means that the curse is not particularly powerful." Fujii Yukine glanced at the room, "The remaining people should not come out."
"Is this okay?" Feng Hui asked immediately, "If we complete this task alone, won't you feel psychologically unbalanced?"
"That's not something you should worry about. Anyone who has dissatisfaction can come forward and speak out now." Karl walked to the door and crossed his arms, "We need to verify the necessary conditions for completing this task, otherwise today will really be in vain. . Don’t worry, the only thorn in the side is the winner, and he won’t object.”
Of course, this person refers to Xia Xinhe.
Many people did not hide the contempt in their eyes, but Xia Xinhe didn't care. He smiled proudly and sat down. Duan Qing could only stand beside him helplessly.
Time passed by and people returned to the house. Although many people were sleepy, no one wanted to sleep anymore. Everyone gathered in the living room and managed to stay up until six-thirty in the morning by the light of the oil lamp. .
Except for a few people, everyone yawned and walked out.
Carl chatted with Robert in a low voice, and everyone else walked to where they parked their cars. As soon as Lu Ning walked to the RV, she heard Feng Hui exclaim not far away.
"Master?"
In their off-road vehicle, they found Luo Nan sleeping soundly. Although Lu Ning already knew the inside story of Luo Nan's disappearance, she still had some doubts about whether Luo Nan was a demon or not.
The cold wind of the night finally stopped when the sky was slightly bright. Fujii and Carl were asking Luo Nan about the disappearance last night, and the result was that they were completely clueless. Others started their cars and ran to Baisha Lake to wash their faces to refresh themselves.
Lu Ning walked to the RV to change clothes. After counting a few times, there was movement as she expected.
Millie's body was also found.
By the time she got out of the RV, someone had already dragged Milly, who was floating on the lake, to the shore with a fishing rod. Her body had begun to swell after being soaked in the lake water for a night, so she was only identified based on her clothes. Luo Nan was stunned when he saw his sister's body, while Feng Hui and Yu Guiting's expressions were even more complicated.
Fujii Yukine squatted down and opened Milly's mouth, then took out a sharp scalpel from his luggage, and cut open Milly's chest without waiting for anyone to say anything.
Autopsy. These two words flashed through Lu Ning's mind for a moment, but she didn't expect Fujii to really know how to do it.
"The cause of death...drowning, severe water accumulation in the lungs, and the lake water soaked from the mouth to the throat, but there were no signs of struggle on the body, nor did he appear to be restrained. It was as if he took the initiative to soak in the lake water and wait to die. "
Fujii Yukine's movements were very neat, and it even made people suspect that she was not relying on the knowledge in her head, but was already very familiar with this work.
but……
[The demon can fake death, so I faked a standard drowned corpse. As for the mystery of how to cause drowning, I will continue to speculate. ] Lu Ning leaned against the door of the RV and looked at Fujii not far away, already understanding that this was probably one of the biggest obstacles in this scene.
"Stomach digestion... Judging from the state, it takes about three hours. The time of death should also be around this time, and that time should be 10 o'clock in the evening, around the time everyone saw Zhu You at the door and returned indoors."
[The disguise of digestion was not ignored either. ] Lu Ning nodded slightly, and she knew that the other party would not miss this information.
"In other words, the devil did it last night?" Yu Guiting asked in a calm voice.
"No."
Lu Ning raised her eyebrows.
"A question I have always been concerned about is, why do demons always use one blow to escape?"
Fujii Yukine closed Millie's knife edge, took off her gloves, raised her body slightly, and continued,
"From the first time I was attacked, to the shootings, thick fog, and the demon on the roof last night, not to mention why Zhu You was not attacked, as long as the demon launched an attack, it was all done very quickly in a short period of time. Attack, but will give up immediately once they encounter resistance. Such decisiveness makes me think that they may lack time.”
"Lack of time?"
"If you are more nervous, you can only have one blow in a period of time. Even if you are more relaxed, this time will not exceed an hour, which is the length of time that the demon can exert its full power." Fujii Yukine slightly pressed his chin. "Otherwise, there is no reason to only act once when there are so many opportunities in one night. In addition, the demons have not shown teamwork of more than two people. Is it because there is an internal conflict or because they actually don't know each other? …”
"They did not launch attacks during the day." Carl coughed and told Fujii Yukine not to continue talking here. "All attacks occur at night. Daytime is our time. Everyone, if you have any ideas, we can discuss them when we return to town. , now we have to consider how to respond next. Also, how is your mission completed? "
The seven people who stayed in the house before all completed their tasks, and according to Ryo Tachikawa, they completed their tasks at six o'clock, which meant that the hot springs were also included in the lakeside hut.
"Next time, we need to find out whether this hot spring is related to the witch."
As the car drove away, Fujii Yukine took a look at the cabin that was gradually disappearing in the forest.
"Because only the three people who went there at night were in trouble, right?"
"Although it is possible that other demons cooperated in sealing the three of them, but..." Fujii Yukiyin glanced at Lu Ning and did not say the next words.
Lu Ning didn't care and focused on driving the car back to Baihu Town.
