At this time, a new reminder appeared in Jiang Tian's field of vision as his thoughts touched him:
"Energy collection completed and repairing... Insufficient energy, body slightly weak (78.3%)"
In an instant, Jiang Tian's originally somewhat relaxed body was suddenly infused with some invisible power, as if it had been electrified. His body and limbs suddenly became tense and strong, and with his prolonged breathing, Intermittently, the lung capacity seems to have increased a lot.
Then Jiang Tian touched the side of his head again. The clots and swelling seemed to be still there, but the top-heavy swelling and severe stinging had basically subsided.
This result couldn't help but give him more confidence and motivation. Although the triggering mechanism of this ghost thing is not yet understood, it seems to be initially confirmed that this is a change that occurs after certain specific events (targets).
So he needs more opportunities to try to recover himself, even if he takes some risks for this. Is this considered self-indulgence? He couldn't help but ask himself with complicated emotions.
Not long after Jiang Tian continued to move forward with the only lantern that was not badly damaged, the sound of messy footsteps was heard again in the distance, and there was the sound of something bumping against the wall and scraping a lot of sand.
Then, Jiang Tian also put the lantern on the ground with a look in his eyes, and once again ducked into a corner of the earth wall, in the shadow where the light could not shine. Because there is a high probability that those who come over at this time are the thief's accomplices.
Then, there was the shaking of the lantern projected on the wall and the faint sound of calling. A long shadow under the dim moonlight also stretched out from the road first.
"Sanpi, Old Hozen, you are finally back... How long do you have to wait for this matter? If you delay Lang Jun's affairs, I will skin you to explain..."
However, Jiang Tian was suddenly overjoyed when he heard this. First of all, this was obviously an insider and the leader who ordered the first two thieves. Secondly, the other party turned around alone to inquire about the situation, which also meant that he had control of the situation. Greater probability.
As the sound of tiny footsteps continued to approach, Jiang Tian just thought for a moment and picked up a handful of dry soil from under the peeling wall. He threw it loudly on the wall opposite the short alley, and scattered a lot of it. The rustle of scraps.
I saw someone quickly approaching the lantern and shaking it. I saw someone rushing towards the wall with a knife and a lantern. The moment he jumped into the air, a brown face with a flat beard and a slightly surprised look was revealed. In an instant, Jiang Tian was hit from behind by a thrower wrapped in a scarf in his hand.
It's a pity that the other party's reaction was unexpectedly alert and quick. When he turned his head, the flying tiles hit his left shoulder, and he immediately cursed angrily;
"What a killer, how dare you sneak attack on us..."
However, Jiang Tian, who was waiting silently in the shadow, seemed to fly up with the sound of wind, and with a "short spear" in his Dantian, he used a move to challenge the bayonet skill, and immediately pushed away the opponent's hastily and horizontally. The lantern he held was among the broken and flying pieces of paper, and it stabbed across the opponent's arm and poked at the exposed waist and eyes;
For a moment, Jiang Tian felt as if he had popped a tough blister or a balloon; but the opponent dropped the handle of the knife regardless, covering his waist where he had successfully stabbed him in the back, and screamed in a high-pitched voice;
"Should...die..."
The next moment, he was elbowed on the side of the face by Jiang Tian who had thrown away his weapon. He suddenly shook his head and hit the wall and passed out. After tying up his hands and feet, Jiang Tian also touched the other person's mouth and nose again; fortunately, his breath was weak but at least he was still alive. He then resumed the routine search and identification process.
Compared with the two skinny "evil boys" before, this thief with a brown face appears to be much bigger, rounder, and stronger. What he is wearing is no longer the kind of "half-length shirt" that exposes one hand and arm, but a soap gray short shirt and long crotch that is enough to cover the upper body and only expose the forearms.
Some of the inverted nails are not long but have a lot of grease. The lines on the fingertips and knuckles are badly worn. There are also scratches and thick calluses on the horizontal lines on the palms and on the index finger.
Coupled with the splatters of blood and grease on the inside of the fishy-smelling clothes, it seemed that this was a person who specialized in butchering and frequently used knives.
Then, Jiang Tian unexpectedly found a folded and wrinkled flying money exchange note stamped "With Five Mins" among the scattered items such as copper coins, sweat towels, and grates found on the other party's body. It is the "Xiao Jia Old Store" at the end of Shuikou Lane, Xili, Dong City.
It also strengthened his certain thoughts, because this thing is not something that ordinary people can withdraw and use. According to the vague memory of my predecessor, this requires a corresponding identity as a guarantee. Perhaps, this is a clue for the future.
But the last thing he discovered made his heart sink. It was a piece of braided human hair. The hair strands were of different colors, old and new. This was not something that ordinary butchers or street gangsters would own.
Afterwards, Jiang Tian poured a handful of dirty water on the other party's face, and slowly woke up with some kind of choking sound. Jiang Tian unhurriedly wiped a few handfuls of blood on his face, and said in a strange and sharp voice:
"I ask you an answer. If you answer wrong, you will be punished."
As soon as he finished speaking, he hit the opponent's foot with a stick, and in an instant, brown blood soaked out of the boots. Then, with a distorted expression of howling in pain, he continued to speak:
"Who are you? Who are your personnel? Where have they gone?"
"Damn you dog slave, do you know who you are going against?"
However, the thief held his neck and cursed angrily: Then after seeing Jiang Tian's face clearly, it turned into some strange and ridiculous expression.
"You don't know anything and you dare to chase me? Ah!!!!"
After a while, Jiang Tian could only let go of this guy who didn't know much, because just when he knocked down the opponent's left hand with both feet, he found that this person was so angry that his eyes were slack, and his body gradually became cold and broken. breath.
Only then did Jiang Tian realize that the wound on his waist that had been hastily tied up had been loosened by his struggle at some point and a large amount of blood was bleeding on the ground. There were no survivors again, but Jiang Tian's heart became increasingly heavy and vigilant.
After picking up this crude wooden handle dagger again, Jiang Tian's vague familiarity and sense of security returned. Although it is a bit too long compared to the troops' dagger fighting, it is still a usable weapon.
It's a pity that the foundation of this body is still a little weak. The short burst is still weak, but it can't last long under the intense action. It needs to take a good breath and recover.
However, after this delay, when Jiang Tian pursued again, he found that the scattered footprints and petals that were still obvious in front of him disappeared in front of a fork; in front of him were two lanes still shrouded in the gray night, like It is a den that selects people and devours them.
However, a green text prompt appeared again in his field of vision: "Second stage of mission guidance; energy collection, repair completed, body healthy (100%)."
"Function unlocked: peripheral data collection, second phase of mission "Redemption", target mark completed."
Immediately, a vivid green arrow appeared at the top of Jiang Tian's field of vision, pointing directly to the distance covered by numerous eaves and large shadows.
At this time, the long-lost moon finally broke through the thick cloud cover again, and cast a bright and graceful light on the ground; suddenly everything found was covered with a layer of frosty white like a gauze.
At this time, Jiang Tian's mind suddenly heard a clear and clear voice reading like an auditory hallucination: "By the way, the two little children Han Shaer and Grete just dropped marks along the way, so that they can be found when they come back. path of……"
"However, all the torn bread was eaten by the rat sparrows. Now, they could no longer find their way back. They could only wander around the forest hungry and thirsty until they encountered a strange house. The walls and roof of the house are made of a lot of stone honey, gum, and countless nuts and dried preserves."
However, amidst the hallucinations, Jiang Tian followed the signs and chased into a winding alley with dead ends. At the end of the alley, there was only a tight high wall and nothing else.
He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to gesture and measure the top of the wall, and then jumped a few times, but he was sure that this was not a place that he could easily climb over and pass through. However, the sign that reappeared in the field of vision was still pointing firmly in a certain direction on the wall.
At this time, the gauze-like moonlight once again ushered in the thick clouds, and was about to become dim again. Jiang Tian, who was walking around, became a little anxious, but accidentally kicked a stack of empty baskets, and his body suddenly He paused.
Because this seemingly empty basket seemed to be very heavy and strong, it stayed in place almost unmoved; then Jiang Tian noticed the traces of stepping, dragging and moving scattered among the white ash on the ground.
Then he began to pull out the stack of baskets forcefully along the traces, and immediately revealed a gap between the dog hole and the small door that could only allow a person to bend down and pass through.
When Jiang Tian saw the traces of being cut out and polished on the edge of the irregular small door opening, it was obvious that they had been there for a long time. Then he touched a thread that tore the fabric, and the direction instructions suddenly became clear, which strengthened his determination again.
After passing through this small hidden doorway, we were faced with a wild patch of wild vegetation that obscured most of our field of vision, as well as a rather vast outline of the courtyard. However, among the waist-high weeds, a trail had been trampled back and forth by people. Hidden paths.
As for the collapsed and desolate buildings in the distance, the exquisite traces of the original pavilions and pavilions can still be seen vaguely; a few large trees growing randomly are like monsters with teeth and claws, threatening the existence of all these creatures.
What a natural scene for a ghost movie; Jiang Tian couldn't help but sigh in his heart. As the moonlight dimmed and the night wind began to rustle in the grass, he walked softly towards the decaying building in the direction sign.
After all, the few he had killed before were just helpers responsible for disposing of corpses and cleaning up the aftermath; the real owner or culprit who caused all this situation has not yet been revealed. 1
This is obviously a half-collapsed abandoned temple or something. After walking half a circle along the peeling walls and crooked beams, Jiang Tian finally saw a little bit of swaying firelight, dimly and gracefully shining through the gaps in the spiderweb-spotted building.
However, the next moment, a black shadow under the corner wall suddenly made Jiang Tian stop in his tracks. Because it was a man curled up against him, drooling and smacking his lips, while snoring softly.
He slept so deeply that he could hear clear drumbeat-like snoring through the wall. Then, he naturally turned his neck and fell into a deeper and sweeter dream. Got it.
"Don't thank me, I wish you a sweet dream that you won't be able to sleep at all."
Jiang Tian thought to himself with malicious intent in his heart.
However, the sound of rustling footsteps was heard the next moment, causing Jiang Tian to dodge and retreat into the shadow of the building again. Then I saw a man walking out of the wall with his short crotch and hairy legs exposed. His dark face was filled with an expression of impatience.
He stretched out his hand to push the person who was leaning against the wall as if sleeping soundly, but he fell softly to the side. The next moment, a hand was wrapped around his neck to strangle his head, face, mouth and nose, while the other hand used a short knife to forcefully slash the side of his neck; immediately the fierce struggle and screams turned into splashes of blood. and bubbles that gurgled in vain.
Afterwards, Jiang Tian, who had finished cleaning up the outside, took his place and stuck to the broken wall to spy on the situation inside. But it is a rather cramped and messy abandoned inner hall; a small open space has been cleared among the thick accumulation of dust, weeds and debris.
The first thing that came into view were a few plates of cold food and wine placed on a tattered mat, as well as a few stout figures sitting on the ground in colorful clothes who had taken off their clothes, drinking and eating with their hands; There is also the faint reflection of the blade reflected by the dim lights.
