Heretics, I hope you survive the judgment that follows.
Facing Wu Ming and the others, perhaps because he realized that this was not the best place to initiate a conflict, or perhaps because he had other considerations, Clement no longer used force directly like he did with Otto in the church, but instead used This cold provocation made everyone carefully observe their subsequent reactions.
However, what made him feel a little regretful was that the three people opposite him seemed to be unmoved by his provocation. Except for Otto who was hiding behind Alex, the expressions of the three people did not change much. Siegfried As always, she stood aside with her arms folded. The mechanical mask covered the expression on her face, but it did not prevent her from acting like an outsider. The old hunter had experienced many battles and had seen a lot. Faced with this kind of indifference, Naturally, he will not take the bait of unconcealed provocations, and he still maintains his usual composure. Junqu Pavilion
Wu Ming was not angry at all. Instead, he put his hands to his ears like an old man and said calmly: "I'm sorry, what did you say?" The sound was too low and I couldn't hear it.
Otto, who was hiding behind the old hunter, suddenly widened his eyes, and Clement's face, which was originally expressionless, also became a little strange. Before he spoke, he had imagined that this baby-faced young man might be irritated. They may confront each other without giving up, or they may ignore or remain calm like the other two, but
But I never thought that Wu Ming would react like this.
However, Clement didn't know whether he felt that he would lose if he did as he said, or he just couldn't bear to lose face and said what he just said in a louder voice. A subtle sense of frustration emerged in his heart, but in the end he still did nothing. After speaking, he snorted coldly, passed several people, and left on the road where the townspeople voluntarily gave way.
Only when Otto saw him walking away did he dare to stick his head out, curled his lips and muttered dissatisfied: He looked very fierce before, but when he saw that there were so many of us, he only dared to say harsh words, what kind of pretense?
What my brother just said may have made you feel a little uncomfortable. I apologize to you on his behalf for this. I hope you will not take what he said to your heart. After Ilson sent most of the townspeople who were watching the fun home, he When he had time, he came up and apologized to everyone. The expression on his face looked extremely sincere: Although he was too extreme in his beliefs and easily went to extremes, he spent all day inciting the emotions of the people in the town and wanted to launch a witch trial. He looks like he is rejecting people thousands of miles away, and his words are often thorny, which is not flattering at all.
But when you actually get along with him, you will find that he is a good person.
When Wu Ming listened to Pastor Ilson talk about a lot of Clement's shortcomings in a eloquent manner, and finally summed it up with the sentence "good man", Wu Ming couldn't help but look weird: You have listed a lot of his shortcomings, are you actually helping him? The excuse is that you are deliberately trying to hurt him.
Hahaha, sorry, I'm just stating the facts. Ilson, who was pointed out the problem, also realized his gaffe and laughed a little embarrassedly. Although we didn't get along for long, I can be sure that he is a very reliable person. , but I may be a little clumsy in my expression, I hope you don’t mind too much.
The old hunter waved his hand as kindly as always: It's okay, I don't care much about these things, but judging from the behavior of some of my friends, they shouldn't care too much about this matter, right, Brother Wu Ming?
Although he has a bad temper, it doesn't bother me. Wu Ming spread his hands and looked like he didn't care: So I don't care.
Siege Fei, who had always been indifferent, said nothing, but she nodded to show that she and Wu Ming had similar ideas.
But then a discordant voice came over: I really mind! This guy is obviously a bully, so aren't you ready to teach him a lesson?
Otto stood up rather dissatisfied. Maybe he saw that Clement had gone far away, so he became bolder and felt that he could do it: Seeing that he is so arrogant, you don't think of punishing him. For a moment? If you ask me, people with such self-aggrandizement should be beaten up and hung up as a city wall for people to watch. I hate this kind of people the most.
Wu Ming glanced at Otto speechlessly, thinking to himself, wasn't this the method he used to deal with his grandson? Then he said: "Otu, since you hate this kind of person so much, why didn't you just go up and fight with him?" Woolen cloth?
There were too many people just now,
And I am in a bad state. Otto was speechless for a moment when he was asked, and then turned his head stiffly: Next time, I will definitely blow his head off when I get the chance. It was wrong before, I have no shame and need to be cleansed. !
Otto, sometimes you have to learn to be appropriately tolerant. Alex patted Otto gently, causing the latter to stagger and almost fall. It seems that I am usually lax in your ideological education.
Soon this little discord was eliminated by Alex's kind persuasion.
At this time, Rogge, the mayor of the town on the other side, made some new noises. He stood in front of the body covered in black robe for a long time. After making up his mind, he reached out and lifted a corner of the black robe. Then a piece of flesh and blood appeared in his field of vision. It was a mass of human-shaped flesh and blood whose original shape could not be seen. There was not a single piece of good skin on the whole body. There were dense bites of flesh and blood everywhere, as if there were many The small animals gnawed it until it was beyond recognition. In some places, they even gnawed out dense white bones, because the large amount of blood flowing out from countless wounds stained the ground with a large dark red blood stain.
Rogge found it difficult to connect the bloody corpse in front of him with the old John who always had trouble with him. Instead, he felt his stomach churning crazily, acid water rising, and a stronger wave of nausea welling up his throat. He covered his mouth and ran to the farmland on the side, supporting the scarecrow and vomited violently.
Ilson heard the noise and probably knew what was going on. When he and Clement found the body before, he had vomited twice before he recovered.
It was so miserable. Wu Ming looked at the bloody corpse and let out a sigh. It wasn't that he didn't want to save this poor man, but that under the attack with supernatural power, the other party didn't even have his soul left, and he didn't know that he was taken away. The materials for refining witchcraft and poison, or the witch used other means to destroy his soul. Like a corpse that has lost its remaining soul and only has its body left. Even if Wu Ming repairs it with the repair module, he can only get a lump of life. flesh, so he could only gently pull up the black robe covering the body. After a cursory glance, it felt like it was not a wound that could be made by conventional means, but rather like a wound left by Alec's teeth. Si, you are more experienced, can you tell what animal caused these wounds?
Ilson looked at the old hunter in surprise when he heard this. After he pulled up his black robe and saw the dense bite wounds on the corpse, he frowned involuntarily: Judging from the size of the wounds, they should look like many small rodents. Bites from animals, such as rats or rabbits, are just
At this point, Alex was hesitant to speak. Both Ilson and Wu Ming looked at him with some doubts: Just? What's wrong?
Maybe I'm overly concerned. The old hunter shook his head and finally pointed at the wounds on the corpse. I always felt that these wounds looked a bit like human teeth marks, but they were too small in terms of size. I agree. I don’t know what kind of creature it is.
Ilson fell into a deep silence after hearing this. His expression gradually became serious as if he had thought of something, but he didn't say anything. After a while, he saw several people and couldn't get it from the corpse. After getting more clues, he turned to look at several night watchmen who looked a little unhappy, and then said to Wu Ming and others: Thank you for your help tonight. You can go back and rest first. We can handle the rest by ourselves.
At this time, Rogge, who was almost vomiting bile, came over weakly. His face was a little pale, and his physical discomfort and discomfort made his expression a little distorted: Regarding the things you said and those questions, I will discuss them tomorrow. I'll find time to explain it to you.
Seeing that they were already planning to drive them away, Wu Ming nodded very knowingly: Okay, then he will eventually
He looked at the body covered in black robes.
We will send him to the cemetery, and Joey, the gravekeeper, will take care of him for the time being. We will find a time as soon as possible in the next two days to hold a formal funeral for him. Ilson felt a little sad when he said this, and finally sighed, May God bless this innocent soul to find peace
It was already late at night when they returned to the hotel. By this time, the lights in the hotel had been extinguished and the landlady had already gone to bed. In order not to disturb her, Wu Ming and others deliberately lowered their voices and quietly returned to the guest room on the second floor. .
I think the problem with this town is
Soon after Alex completed the soundproof barrier, several people, including the Crimson Queen who had just been released from the containment space, held a review meeting in Wu Ming's room. Wu Ming spoke first, Let’s summarize the situation first. First of all, everyone in the town knows much more about the witch than we thought. They can recognize the gargoyles they fought before as pets. There is also a strange tradition in the town about the curse of the witch's misfortune and the judgment of the witch to eliminate the misfortune. The existence of the witch is like common sense necessary for their life. Although it is not ruled out that this may be their pure superstition and automatic introduction, it is unlikely based on the current background. So I think we need to find out everything about the witch. Mayor Rogge is undoubtedly a good breakthrough point.
And Siegfried, the monster we fought against today, also rarely took the initiative and said: I can't feel any breath of life on the stone statue, and there is nothing like a core or vital point in its body. I just want to kill it. It can be broken into pieces. Otherwise, whether it is crushing its hands or cutting off its feet, it will rush over tirelessly and continue to attack. However, during the battle, I found that it does not seem to have high intelligence, and it does not look like there is anyone behind it. looks like, so it can be easily solved with almost no effort.
In other words, the manipulator behind the scenes may not be able to control the actions of these gargoyles. Wu Ming seemed a little thoughtful when he heard Siege Fei's words. He has not directly fought against gargoyles. Brother Hunter, what do you think?
The old hunter nodded: I have the same idea, and I also want to add that these stone statues may be life in another sense, but their intelligence is not high, and they only retain some instinctive life forms. If it is the magic of the witch, let these It is not impossible for a stone statue to come to life.
And there is another thing. When I was identifying the wounds on the corpse just now, I was afraid of causing a bad impact, so I hid the truth. At this time, the old hunter suddenly changed the subject, but before he spoke, Wu Ming already knew that he was What do you want to say: You actually recognize that those are undoubtedly human teeth marks, right?
Alex nodded, and you could tell that his face didn't look good.
It seems that this problem is serious. Wu Ming's expression became serious. Why are the teeth marks left by humans so small that they are about the same size as those left by small rodents?
