It didn't take much time for Lu Ning to treat the wound on Sera's hand, and Sera had been silent during this period. The leisure and joy she had when bartending before had disappeared forever from the young girl's face.
She didn't say anything, just left the car after doing what she had to do, and then stared at the sky in a daze.
In scene missions, it is inevitable to throw away some conscience. Lu Ning has adapted well to this, and she will not feel guilty because of it. It's just that she is curious, why was Adams ordered to be assassinated?
Daniel was sent to Turner's house, which was actually arranged carefully by Lu Ning. She herself had never received a "resonance" that she must kill anyone, and while escorting Daniel, who was not considered safe at all, she had not heard any news of anything happening to him.
Sivis was seriously injured, Daniel was disabled by the explosion, but what was the reason for Adams?
Lu Ning glanced coldly at the closed carriage door.
She also suspected that this matter had nothing to do with Adams. Just like the policemen who were killed in the bombing of the police station, Adams was just killed along the way, and the target of the other party might be Serra. It's just that she hasn't found anything special about this girl so far, except for the fact that Sera knows the story of the Witch's Oath.
"Unless there is something in the past?"
This is not a good time to ask, and since a demon has taken action, the others will not be idle...
At night, a figure walked into Feng Hui's room.
A figure suddenly appeared in the room, and none of the warning devices set up for warning was touched. Feng Hui, who noticed this, rolled out of bed almost instantly. The flashlight hidden in the quilt lit up instantly, and the into the intruder's face.
Suddenly turning from darkness to light, the intruder raised his hand to block the light that hit his eyes, but most of his face was still visible, and Feng Hui was stunned the moment he saw this face.
"Miss?"
That was Sally's face, and Sally had died the second night.
"Sally" smiled, put down her hand, and began to walk towards Feng Hui step by step.
"What attitude should you take when you see a dead person appearing in front of you? Especially when facing the person you are supposed to protect?"
"You are not a lady! You..."
"Why do you think I'm not?"
"Sally"'s face darkened, and she raised her hands. Her delicate-looking hands were stained with blood, and she had obviously experienced something.
"Everyone has their own secrets, and each other can't understand what kind of cards they have left behind. Feng Hui, you also have reservations, right?"
Feng Hui swallowed and quietly let the flying knife between his fingers hide deeper.
"But it's useless. This is a confrontation, and the initial numerical division between demons and humans determines the imbalance in power. I just have one thing to ask you - is Peng Morong following your request? Going down to find Fujii Yukine?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Wrong attitude."
Feng Hui was stunned and suddenly realized the other party's true purpose of becoming Sally.
He plays the role of the young lady's bodyguard, and even if something bizarre like a dead man reappears, he should not assume that the other party is a devil right away before questioning him clearly.
This is the limit of role-playing in the scene, especially for myself who has not obtained any information about the devil, let alone asking this directly.
"Forget it, you don't have to worry about this kind of point deduction anyway." "Sally"'s hands began to turn black, and at the same time they began to become soft, like glue and began to lengthen. "The abilities I have acquired do not necessarily require Get answers, just ask the questions and the rest will be easy.”
"Demon!"
Feng Hui threw his hand and threw the flying knife held between his fingers. The handle of the flying knife was also wrapped with yellow paper with complex spells drawn on it. As he threw it, blue curse fire began to ignite.
However, the devil just waved his hand, and the colloid turned into a shield in front of him. The flying knife sank into the shield and was directly dissolved and swallowed by the colloid. The cursed fire was also extinguished instantly. The delaying effect Feng Hui expected did not work at all.
"Help! Demon attack!"
"No one will hear your cry for help."
The huge gelatinized arms directly pressed Feng Hui to the wall, and the strong dissolution quickly eroded his clothes, skin, and flesh. However, Feng Hui, whose mouth was blocked, could not even utter his final scream.
"In such a scene, people will form a directional subconscious mind. Death means safety, and missing means suspicious. Now that Peng Morong is dead, then one of you or Fujii Yukiyin will take the position of the devil. As for which one, just let it go. It’s up to humans to analyze it.”
With a cruel smile, the demon slowly wrapped Feng Hui in the glue. Within about five minutes, Feng Hui was eaten to the point where not even the dregs were left.
A cloud covered the moonlight, making the room suddenly dim. The flashlight had already been shattered. The demon stood there and savored it for a moment. Then he raised his hand, and there was a slight sliding sound around the room, and more gelatin appeared. It emerged from the gap between the window and the wall and swarmed into the demon body, which also caused her body shape to gradually change. She grew a little taller than before and lost the disguise of "Sally".
"He has no information about killing Peng Morong in his memory, and he has no knowledge about it." The demon licked his fingers, then bit his nails, making a crunching sound. The clouds passed by and the light re-entered the window, illuminating half of her face.
There was an obvious look of resentment on Qiu Yiyun's face.
"That damn detective actually hid directly after I gained the ability to kill her... Did he avoid me premeditatedly, or did he avoid me just because of the progress of her investigation? Karl and Robert The damn faggot stays in his room all day and doesn’t know what he’s doing, and my ability doesn’t include monitoring, so the shit witch should give me some information.”
She grinded her teeth, walked to the window, and jumped out as soon as she held the window sill. Her whole body turned into black gelatin in mid-air and entered the eaves, and then quickly started to "flow" to her room.
"These turtles are not going to go to the lakeside hut, so how can I complete the task of killing three tourists there? That arrogant fool Peng Murong is dead, and Lu Ning, the idiot, still wants to save her. My friends, why are all the demons on the demon side such weirdos with brain problems?"
She relied on the convenience of the fluid to quickly return to her room. After regrouping, she sat on the bed and began to sulk.
Confrontation scenes are actually the most difficult type for tourists. It is not like survival, which requires long days, nor is it like hunting, where there is the danger of killing powerful creatures. Everyone knows that there is a universal solution to confrontation scenes - kill. All visitors except yourself.
Especially with the addition of secrets, it becomes even more logical to do this. After all, even if you are in the same camp, other people's secrets may be harmful to you. Qiu Yiyun is such a complete profit-oriented person that she is too lazy to touch the horror hidden behind those scenes. As long as she completes the superficial tasks beautifully, she will one day be able to accumulate enough points for promotion.
Of course, this behavior pattern when encountering extremely powerful intellectual or force-type tourists is basically equivalent to putting a sack on yourself and letting others beat you up. Qiu Yiyun has not experienced it before, but she really has not been affected by it. Give up this direct and easy-to-use method.
Until now, one of the five members of the same camp has died, one has turned on the lone wolf mode and completely disappeared, and the other three have secretly connected in series and started single-line communication. They are obviously more interested in the plot characters than killing tourists... This is obviously an encounter. A group of teammates taking the exploration route.
She had to weigh whether she had the ability to kill all the tourists alone.
======================
Putting aside Qiu Yiyun's headache and what to do next, Lu Ning felt that the progress was going quite smoothly.
Fisher Herman was hiding under heavy protection at home and was not ready to come out, but the hunter leader Levin bravely stood up and became the leader of the townspeople. In his words, he was standing in the open, and even if the witch wanted to kill him, he would have to pay the price of being discovered. However, this meant that all the key figures in the town were restrained, and there was no need to worry about what they would do together to make a plan. new plan.
The Turner family temporarily elected a new head of the family and actively launched an investigation into Adams' death. However, the murderer left a lot of traces of the crime, but none of them were related to his identity. Even the footprints and other things were forged. Yes, those footprints of varying shades and sizes are basically a mockery.
Sera was picked up by people from the town more than an hour ago. Lu Ning could see the flames of revenge burning in her eyes. She had seen too much of such emotions and did not want to persuade her. She only told the person who took her away. People give up on resting and recuperating.
The demon would not feel sleepy even if he didn't sleep all night. Lu Ning kept testing in front of the experimental bench in the RV until dawn. Only then did he roughly understand the principle of stimulating the witch's heart seeds that Lima had used before.
To excite, corpses that still have cell activity must be used as a medium. This kind of thing will make the seeds enter a state of awakening and initiate basic germination. The observation result is that a circle of fluff grows outside the dark heart-shaped shell.
The germinating seeds will actively capture the first living thing they come into contact with and begin to take root and sprout on them, forming a symbiotic state. For this reason, Lu Ning cut off two fingers again. When she came back to her senses and realized what she had done, it felt a bit ridiculous.
What’s interesting is this symbiosis.
Since it is symbiosis, the parasitized person will not die. Even if it is near death, the witch's heart will use plant parts to replace some necessary human functions. On the section of a finger she cut off, only It took an hour for the witch's heart to form a simple blood circulation system, and the heart began to change from dry to fresh. During the subsequent sampling, Lu Ning found that the blood in the finger had been mixed with some other plant fluids, which replaced the blood to continue to maintain the life of the finger.
But the price is that the life form is completely replaced by the witch's heart. When Lu Ning placed one of the samples in the prepared soil, the witch's heart began to penetrate into the soil. After adding some eggs, meat and other proteins to the soil, the roots began to spontaneously draw out of it. Sticky black threads separate and gradually form a miniature "nest".
Probably because the total amount of nutrients was not enough, the nest formed did not exceed the size of the flowerpot in the end, and the Witch's Heart also grew a little and sprouted a small bud.
"If the living make a living, the dead will use it as nourishment to strengthen themselves? Then those in the cemetery..."
Lu Ning couldn't help but feel a little numb when she thought about the situation there.
The experiment proved that the initial growth of the witch's heart must have something with vitality as a carrier. She even cut off a finger to test it, but the result was that it could only be used as a "corpse" to awaken the seed, not a living person.
After activating the demon body to slowly re-grow his fingers, Lu Ning had a hard time imagining what the situation was like in the place where all these plants grew. It might be more terrifying than the demonic ghosts on the surface.
In each "nest", there must be something alive originally. Even if it is transformed into something else, that thing will not die as long as the witch's heart is not dead, and the remaining nests around it are made entirely of corpses.
The nest is not the problem, the question is what is that living thing?
One finger can keep it alive, but what about other things? An eye? A hand or a foot? Or... a brain?
Lu Ning felt a chill. She really couldn't think about this anymore.
She stretched and moved her body. She was very satisfied with her refreshing state. Then she walked out of the RV and found Sui Shan sitting at the door of the hotel, with a sad look on his face.
"What's wrong?"
"Another one is missing today," Suishan said. "Feng Hui didn't come downstairs to meet us. I went to his room and took a look. The bedding was messy and it seemed that he had sneaked out of the window in the middle of the night."
"Why is he running?" Lu Ning frowned.
"I don't know if she ran away or died, but without this witness, Fujii's suspicion cannot be cleared away at all, and she refuses to come back... You don't think she is a demon, do you?"
"Of course not, but I am definitely in the minority. Even if everyone doesn't say it, they will doubt it in their hearts."
"Yes, Zhong Feiying has basically been judged as a demon, and the two who disappeared have become more and more suspicious in the past few days. The current situation is that whoever is absent is suspicious, and even Inahara has this mentality. Suiyama sighed, "You know what? I have a hunch that if no one uses some method similar to flipping the table to reshuffle the situation, the human side has already lost."
That's true.
Lu Ning couldn't say what was in her heart, so she could only comfort Sui Shan. Then, Carl and Robert, who had inspected the scene, walked out of the hotel.
"Good morning, doctor." Karl still looked relaxed, as if the tense situation had no impact on him at all.
"Good morning, I heard that Feng Hui is missing?"
"Yes, yes." Karl nodded and looked at Suiyama, "I think Mr. Tachikawa has something to do with you. Would you like to come over?"
Suiyama nodded, got up and walked back to the hotel. Karl waited until she was far away, then turned back to look at Lu Ning: "Doctor, can I trust you?"
