Like the sound of broken bones, Baras completed the mimetic transformation in front of Jiang Chenchuan, transforming from a normal human into a monster in just a few seconds.

As expected of Baras, no matter from which angle he looked, he looked exactly like an infected person. His scarlet eyes were filled with terrifying bloodshot eyes.

Seeing that his position among the group of searchers was getting closer, he could even hear their clear footsteps.

"I just thought I heard a sound there. Do you think... could it be someone?"

"Didn't you see? Quirrell even had an arm cut off. He must not be an ordinary person to sneak into the city at this time."

The monsters were whispering, hesitation in their movements.

"No matter, let's go over and take a look. With so many people here, we can't take down an ordinary person?"

"That's it, just a casual wound and he will become just like us."

The monster's clothes were in tatters and even exuded a strange smell. They slowly approached the house where Jiang Chenchuan was located.

"But, do you think he will..."

"Nothing but."

They were talking to each other, and as soon as they got closer, they saw a monster's head coming out of the window.

"you……"

The approaching monsters retreated subconsciously, and some also tightened their grip on the weapons in their hands.

"I just searched here and didn't see anyone." Barras pretended to be very familiar with them. If he didn't know the cause and effect, he could really deceive people.

"That's right."

Sure enough, those monsters believed what Balas said. Now that the information in the city is blocked, and coupled with the pain under the shadow of the curse, they don't want to cause too much trouble for themselves. They say they are infected, but in fact they are in this No. Living in a big city cage.

"In that case, let's look elsewhere."

They did not delve into Baras's words, but left talking to each other.

Barras retracted his head, and just like that, a crisis that was about to break out was easily resolved. Jiang Chenchuan didn't say anything more, but gestured to indicate that they should leave.

Barras nodded. The monster's form was difficult to move, so he changed back to his human form.

The city is almost always in such chaos. They say hell does not exist, but for these monsters, this is hell.

No matter where you go, you may encounter infected people. They are like trapped beasts, roaring powerlessly, with nowhere to vent their anger. In the torture day after day, their hearts are full of resentment.

Picking up the staff sword and the recycling box, the road outside the door has been blocked by monsters, so you can only climb out of the window from the other direction.

After landing firmly, neither of them spoke, but they could both feel the other's reserved hostility, and the quiet atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.

The sound of heavy breathing came from above his head. Jiang Chenchuan quickly pulled Barras and hid under the eaves. In order not to cause trouble, he could only try not to provoke those monsters.

It was as if some kind of sharp claws were scraping against the roof, making a sharp sound. The feeling of fear was so clear, and then, a huge black shadow jumped over their heads.

He walked forward without looking back, leaving only Jiang Chenchuan and the others behind.

"How come...it's so big?"

Barras was a little surprised. The fear that the monster just brought to him was unmatched by other ordinary infected people.

"I don't know, maybe the curse spell has been changed. You know, besides the witch, Ronark City is the birthplace of the curse master."

Jiang Chenchuan did not forget that the notebook gave him a reminder that the Conjurers Association was also in Ronark City.

In other words, they may encounter more infected people with such mutations, and maybe there will be many more powerful enemies.

Barras leaned against the wall, and he could feel his heartbeat beating abnormally. Whether it was the fear brought by Jiang Chenchuan or the sense of oppression brought by the infected, he could not breathe.

Almost suffocating him.

It turned out that his specialness was so insignificant in front of these monsters. Looking at Jiang Chenchuan's still calm expression, he knew that following him now was the best choice.

Jiang Chenchuan observed the surrounding environment while taking action. When the trip to Ronark City was over, Barras said that he would never leave Polnia again.

Compared with the outside world, Polnia is simply paradise.

He can change any appearance at will and can go anywhere without hindrance. Ordinary humans have no fighting ability and can kill them without much care.

The previous happy mood was in sharp contrast with the depression in his heart, making Barras look a little depressed.

"Baras, are you okay?"

Probably seeing his poor state, Jiang Chenchuan actually stopped to ask about his situation. He quickly waved his hand and said that he was fine.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a rustling sound in his ears, and his relaxed mood suddenly became tense.

Barras tensed his nerves as much as possible, and then, a pair of red eyes emerged from an inconspicuous darkness.

"Surprisingly... we can still see normal people who are not infected."

The voice was very old, almost a head of white hair, and withered and slender hands, slowly grabbing the edge.

"you you you you……"

The voice appeared behind Balasde, and he jumped up like a frightened deer and hid directly next to Jiang Chenchuan.

"Who are you……?"

Jiang Chenchuan saw that the other party seemed to have no ill intentions, and its physical condition had reached a very bad point, and it could hardly move.

"I was originally the owner of this store, but you know, since the plague broke out, no one has come to buy anything. They... they just robbed me. You see, they even injured me."

The withered hand stretched out tremblingly, covered with various scars. Baras knew what this old man had gone through before.

"It hurts... I can't stand or sit, let alone lie down. My whole body is hurting."

The old man coughed, and the spittle he spattered was stained with blood. He had a ferocious old face with pain written all over it.

"From the look of you, you must not be from Ronark, right?"

The old man struggled to say a complete sentence, but he cared about where they came from.

"Yes, a little south, Yinglan Beier."

Seeing that Jiang Chenchuan didn't speak, Barras answered helpfully.

"Yinglan Beier... that place... I've heard... I heard... it's a gray city..."

The old man said word by word, his eyes seemed to reveal a trace of desire and some flinching.

"Don't beat around the bush...if you have anything to say, you can tell me directly."

Jiang Chenchuan suddenly spoke.

Hearing his straightforwardness, the other party was slightly stunned. He knew that he had no fighting power due to aging, so even a normal person would not be afraid when facing him.

"It's been such a long time since I was infected with the plague, and I have one wish..."

The old man hesitated for a moment, looked into Jiang Chenchuan's calm eyes, and seemed to have made up his mind.

"What wish?"

"Please, kill me."

He thought he would make some excessive demands, but he didn't expect that his biggest wish turned out to be this.

"Why... why?"

Barras couldn't understand that for him, being able to stay alive was the greatest luck.

Just like the people they met, no matter what happened, they were unwilling to give up their lives.

"good."

Jiang Chenchuan readily agreed.

The old man who was still struggling at first burst into laughter when he heard Jiang Chenchuan's answer. Even the wrinkles on his face seemed to be reduced a lot.

"Is there anything else you need my help with?"

He slowly drew out his sword and pointed the tip of the sword at the old man in the room. The old man slowly shook his head, and then closed his terrifying scarlet eyes.

The whole process is very short, and it is an easy task to kill an old monster without any fighting ability.

There was no resistance, no struggle, but some relief from death.

"Evel, you are more cold-blooded than I thought. It seems that you are not absolutely righteous."

When Jiang Chenchuan retracted his staff and sword, Baras was talking to the side.

"Balaas, I have seen too many. Under irreversible terminal illness, perhaps death is the best ending for them."

"Don't you need to respect life?"

This sentence came out of Barras's mouth, and it was really weird. A person who could commit crimes at will was actually discussing the topic of "respecting life."

"When you get back to Polnia, you can discuss the arguments for respecting life in prison."

Jiang Chenchuan responded unceremoniously.

"No!"

Barras howled.

Of course, he didn't dare to be too loud and was careful to attract the monsters around him. Looking at the peaceful face, Jiang Chenchuan sighed softly.

At this moment, the door opposite the old man was opened, and an infected person bumped into them face to face.

"Evel! Help!"

The subconscious mind is to stay away from the infected. Barras does not have any weapons in his hands now, and he will not have an advantage against anyone.

"Wait, he doesn't seem to want to attack us."

As if he couldn't see them, the infected person passed by the two of them and came directly to the old man's window. When he turned his head, he happened to see the old man's passing face.

"It's over, it's over, it was fine..."

Barras held his forehead, not witnessing the bloody storm that followed.

"Did you do it?"

The infected person turned his head, and his strange figure looked extremely twisted.

Jiang Chenchuan looked at him calmly and looked at him:

"This is his wish."

"well……"

The infected person sighed helplessly. Looking at him, he seemed to be very familiar with this old man.

"I have always known that before this terrible plague broke out, Grandpa Bock was not in very good health and was often bullied by children on the street. He spent most of his life alone. Even if this disaster had not happened, he would not have wanted to Keep living.”

When he heard what he said, he knew that the infected person in front of him would not be his enemy, so he put his cane away.

"I also heard some of your conversation just now. There is one thing I want to ask. You are from England. Why did you come to Ronalk City? Do you not know the situation here?"

"Exactly the opposite."

Jiang Chenchuan replied.

"ah?"

The infected person was stunned for a moment.

"We are here to solve the infection. If possible, I hope you can provide us with corresponding clues."

Jiang Chenchuan said sincerely that unlike other infected people, the person in front of him seemed to be very peaceful and not so resentful.

"Oh? What do you want to know?"

He looked interested.

"We are looking for...the Conjurers Guild."

Hearing Jiang Chenchuan's words, the infected person in front of him was slightly startled, but the old man's body and the smell of blood had spread, and it seemed that something was approaching here.

"How much do you know about the situation in the city?"

"I don't understand."

Jiang Chenchuan did not tell the infected people about the survivors in the city.

The man in front of me thought for a while, raised his head, and looked around as if he sensed something.

"It's not convenient to speak now. Come on, if you are willing to believe me, please come with me."

Their eyes fell on the old man's body, and the compassion shown in that moment was true. Now they have no clues. Even if they find Dorothea's address, there is no solution. Moreover, the Witch Sect has also moved, and Luo Tia The city of Narc is nothing more than an empty shell.

"good."

Jiang Chenchuan nodded and agreed.

Even Ivel had no objections, and Barras naturally wouldn't say anything. At present, it seems that one person's action is much more dangerous than two people. In addition, the bracelet cannot be removed, and Barras will not be too far away from Jiang Chenchuan. .

"Please follow me first."

The infected person turned around and crawled back to his room. He didn't even know whether to be happy or sigh. As the origin of the curse, one day it would be destroyed by the curse.

He looked at Jiang Chenchuan and Barras behind him, thinking that he was actually a little sad that he had to hand over the task of saving Ronark City to two strange strangers.

He hid in the house and closed the door, and then there was an abnormal sound above his head.

"There is no way. Those soldiers are so sensitive to the smell of blood. They are wandering in every corner of the city. In order not to cause trouble, it is best not to meet them."

The infected person in front of them explained to them that this was the reason why he had to leave the scene in a hurry.

"What's going on? Are you still different?" Barras asked.

"It's different. I don't know what kind of changes they have made to the curse. They have become stronger and can live longer than ordinary infected people like me. Of course, the only price they seem to have to pay is... becoming more... Crazy, aggressive, even... dehumanized."

The infected person explained to them that Jiang Chenchuan probably guessed this result.

Whether it was due to the heat or nervousness, Barras's forehead was covered with dense sweat. He wiped it lightly and followed Jiang Chenchuan into a new space.

"so……"

"If you want to solve the disaster in Ronark City, I am willing to help you."
