Not long after Wu Ming and Qi Gefei caught up, they were stopped by a young and beautiful white-haired woman wearing a white dress and a white dress. She seemed to have picked the right time and walked out of the intersection just in front of him. On the way the two of them are moving forward: Excuse me, do you have time to chat?
No time, I have something to do, take my leave. Wu Ming glanced at the white-haired woman lightly, but had no intention of stopping to talk. He wanted to bypass her and continue chasing the girl, but before he took two steps, the other party reached out and stopped him: Don't be so anxious, foreigner. , you came to this village to solve the problem of the witch, right?
Her words caused Wu Ming, who was eager to chase her, to hesitate for a moment, but after such a delay, by the time he tried to catch up again, it was already too late. The girl had already disappeared, and he did not trust Siegfried to go alone. Chasing Nina, who seemed to have grown up, I was afraid that the ruthless and talkative dragon girl would scare her, so I had to temporarily give up the idea of chasing after her. I gestured to the dragon girl not to be impulsive, and at the same time mobilized the invisibility devices deployed in the town. After checking the machine, he turned his head to look at the white-haired woman and spoke with some caution and doubt in his heart.
Are you from this town? What's matter?
Don't be so vigilant, I'm not from this town. The white-haired woman seemed to see the vigilance in Wu Ming's heart. Her eyes narrowed into crescent moons when she smiled. My name is Anastasia. You can also call me Anna. I am also a foreigner who came here a while ago, but Because of some trivial matters, the people in the town don't like me very much now.
When Wu Ming heard what she said, he immediately thought of another stranger who came to the town before and had some guesses about Anna's identity. The corners of his eyes twitched slightly: "Could you be the one who destroyed the witch trial ceremony and beat her a lot?" That foreigner from the town?
Hahahaha, it turns out you already know these things. When I saw you fighting the gargoyles last night, I was still worried about how to get on the line with you. But if you can understand the situation, you can avoid a lot of trouble. Anna said with a smile, but her expression immediately became serious. She turned around faster than turning the page in a book. She immediately got to the point: There is not much time now. I will try to keep the story short: Gram Lei Mang is very dangerous. There are big problems in the Witch Trial. We need to work together to stop him, otherwise the whole town may be pushed into a situation of no return.
After leaving the tavern, Alex took Otto straight to the small clinic in the town.
The clinic is not big and is divided into two rooms, front and back. The counter used by the town doctor Hessen's office is directly facing the door. Behind the counter is a large glass cabinet with all kinds of medicines neatly placed. There are also shelves on both sides of the hall. There are several rows of chairs, and two IV stands with hanging bottles are placed randomly in front of the chairs. This is the place where IV drips are given to patients with headaches, fever, and minor ailments in the town. There is a wooden door next to the counter, and behind it is the ward and clinic. There are several hospital beds separated by curtains. Yesterday, Alex and the mayor moved a few unconscious hapless guys here. .
As soon as Alex and Otto entered the door, they could see the town doctor Hessen sitting behind the office counter. He had short, slightly curly blue hair and a deep three-dimensional outline. He was wearing a loose white coat and a turban on his head. After a few rounds of bandages, it seemed that the injury he suffered yesterday had been effectively treated. However, he was currently looking through the patient's medical records carefully and did not notice the two people entering. It was not until the old hunter's burly and majestic figure blocked the light that he He raised his head consciously.
Then he was so frightened by this sinister-looking strong man with a heavy back and a scar on his face: "You, you, you, you, what do you want to do?" !
Immediately his eyes caught sight of the young man next to him who had sparse hair but did not have a strong sense of presence. Seeing the young man's submissive and sleepy look, Hessen felt that he had grasped the other person's intention of coming here: I Me me me! Let me tell you! The medical conditions in this small town are so good. I really can’t cure hair loss! If this disease can't be cured, don't take your anger out on me!
Calm down, we are not here to make trouble. Otto's eyes were dull, with an expression that gave up struggling and defending. He didn't know whether he was used to others saying he was losing his hair, or he was used to the old hunter's fearful and ferocious face. It was a misunderstanding. He turned to the old hunter despite being tired and said, "Don't laugh. It makes people feel more terrifying when you smile. His reaction is bigger, so let me explain."
Ride as Alex
His job is not only to hunt extraordinary creatures that endanger human society, but sometimes Otto also takes on the task of helping him negotiate with normal people. After all, there are only a few people who can overcome their fear and negotiate with the ferocious-looking Alex. Most of them Not to mention negotiating, the first time you see him, you will think he is a criminal who escaped from prison. If he moves his hands a little, he will think that this vicious gangster is going to commit murder and hurt others. There is no way to communicate normally, so Often it is Otto who is responsible for explaining at this time.
The old hunter also knew that his appearance and temperament were too ferocious, so he nodded and left the matter to Otto, but Hessen was a little doubtful after hearing his words, and still maintained the posture of being ready to run away when the situation was not good, and asked cautiously Said: Are you really not here to make trouble?
Otto pinched his eyebrows hard and tried to keep himself awake: "We are the foreigners who joined the vigil last night. We were the ones who helped move you and other unconscious personnel back yesterday."
Well, I heard Rogge say that the foreigners who just came to town last night really helped him a lot. It seems that he is talking about you. Seeing that they were indeed not here to cause trouble, Hessen sat back down. Although he still glanced at Alex a little uneasily, he didn't say anything more in the end. He lowered his head and continued to deal with the medical records on hand: "What about you guys?" What's the point of coming to see me?
Come and see if the injured who were unconscious last night have woken up. The old hunter spoke slowly. His burly body can always bring great psychological pressure to people. We are not doctors. At that time, we could only perform some emergency treatment on their external injuries. I don't know the reason for their coma, so I am worried about their condition and want to see how they are doing.
Hesse raised his head and glanced at Alex, his expression a little surprised. He seemed to have a different view of this fierce and strong man. However, he immediately lowered his head to sort out the medical records in his hands: The last one to wake up was in the early morning. Came here. However, those people did not have any obvious trauma or discomfort except for the bruises and bruises when they fainted, so they all went back to their homes after waking up. Junqu Pavilion
Otto: Is it okay to let them go back like this?
I also gave them a brief examination, but the cause of the fainting has not been found yet. I suspect that they may have suffered a sudden syncope due to anemia, hypoglycemia, or hypotension, but the test results on hand cannot support my theory. guess.
Hesse sighed and handed a medical record to Otto and Alex: There may be many reasons for sudden syncope, such as anemia, abnormal blood pressure, hypoglycemia, brain disease, insufficient brain oxygen supply, etc. But it can There are only a few causes of mass syncope, and I conduct physical examinations and health assessments for people in the town almost every year. In addition, after waking up, I also conduct several physical examinations for those who participated in the vigil, such as blood pressure and blood sugar. The concentration has not changed abnormally in recent years, and the health status remains good. The medical conditions in our area are limited and there is no way to conduct further medical testing, so we can only let them go back first.
The town doctor kept talking about a lot of his guesses. Otto listened and took the medical records. He looked at the English words on the medical records and found that he couldn't understand them, so he put them down silently. go back.
Judging from the medical records, we really can’t find anything wrong, but since the stone monster appeared last night, a creature that completely subverts common sense, maybe the phenomenon of mass fainting also has supernatural factors.
Unlike those who fainted before, Hesse, Gale and several other night watchmen fell into fainting one after another while avoiding the pursuit of the stone monster. They had all seen the existence of the stone monster with their own eyes, and even Those monsters had a dangerous escape, so these people were more susceptible to the influence of the witch legend.
Heisen pulled his hair with some distress and nodded in agreement: To be honest, I have given up on finding the cause of fainting. I can cause large-scale fainting without leaving any traces, and can also drive that kind of stone monster to attack us. Now I have started I believe in the witch legend circulating in the town, but there is one thing that I have always cared about.
The old hunter's eyes lit up: Did you find anything?
No one died or was even seriously injured. Hesse pulled out some medical records of specific people from the table, and then opened them one by one, looking at the diagnostic records he had written on them. Silo, when he fell into a coma, his forehead happened to hit the ground and he was slightly injured. Winston, panic when running away
He accidentally ran into a stone statue monster and was thrown away. He suffered multiple scratches all over his body and his internal organs were slightly shocked.
He listed the injuries of those people last night: the claws of the stone monster can easily leave deep claw marks on walls and the ground, and a sweep of its tail can sweep down walls. In terms of strength and speed, we have absolutely no There was no room to contend or survive, but we managed to survive. Although some people suffered some injuries, and some injuries even looked a bit scary, none of them were serious. There were no internal injuries or fractures. They were basically all fatal skin injuries.
And now that I think about it, the behavior of the stone monster at that time was also very strange. It acted extremely violently, wildly destroying everything around it and chasing us. It showed its teeth and claws as if it wanted to tear us apart, but it could not kill those who fainted. Don't even touch it
Otto gradually frowned as he listened. He felt a little unbelievable at the conclusion he had drawn: Could it be that the stone monster was playing tricks on you?
Maybe we were wrong about it from the beginning, Alex mused. Maybe these gargoyles were just a way for the Piper to hide his true purpose, or maybe
