Did the body move on its own?
Gao Yi took steps and walked in the empty lobby.
The bizarre events that happened in Shan'ao are divided into two lines. Now, with the emergence of aliens, the original confusing death of Black Cat has finally been answered.
However, in this way, a problem emerged that cannot be ignored.
Why did the first deceased die?
There's no way he died because of the alien.
Because from the perspective of the timeline, in the period of his possible death, the alien has not even killed the black cat, and his ability to move is almost zero. It is impossible to see people at all, let alone "scared to death" or "killed". die".
At this moment, the two lines have begun to diverge. After excluding one party, the answer can only be hidden in the remaining party.
Provoking trouble, delaying time, fabricating illusions, planning explosions... the cause of death of the first victim could only be related to this line.
The most likely possibility now is that the first deceased knew something and was silenced by the instigator using some special means. Because of his history of hallucinations and the existence of skills in the context of the world, Gao Yi did not think this kind of death without scars was difficult.
Gao Yi's footsteps stopped in front of the compartment where the corpse was stored.
He stared quietly at the silent compartment.
If you want to know the truth, this is the first door.
Click.
In the lobby where you can hear the drop of a needle, the sound of the lock bolt opening is extremely harsh.
When the light fell into this small, dark compartment, the smell of old wood from the farmhouse tables and chairs quickly filled Gao Yi's nostrils.
The flashlight beam came in and hit the depth of the compartment, on a completely spread out straw mat.
Gao Yi clenched his fists.
empty.
Under the light, dust danced, but nothing was left.
The clue disappeared?
No, this just became the biggest clue.
A bold guess emerged in Gao Yi's heart, but now he was not too sure about where he wanted to go first.
Gao Yi returned to the lobby and followed the footprints to the place where it disappeared.
The second floor is where the owner of the footprints is headed!
Because there was a welcome carpet placed in front of the stairs, Gao Yi had no footprints to follow when he went up to the second floor. But this didn't bother him much.
Gao Yi knows his purpose.
"The other two foreign tourists died mysteriously in their rooms."
Gao Yi's steps were silent, like a hunter walking in a dark forest, silently looking for prey.
"When something goes wrong, there must be a demon. There must be some connection between the two."
The door of the foreign tourist's room was ajar, and it seemed to be the same as when Gao Yi and others came before. But only when you step into it can you notice the real changes!
In front of him were two empty quilts.
The floor-to-ceiling windows on the rooftop were wide open, and there was a low whirring sound, as if something was rippling in the wind and rain. Gao Yi chased him out of the balcony, and he saw clearly a rope swinging in the darkness.
One end of the rope is firmly tied to the guardrail, while the other end hangs down below, aiming right outside the farmhouse.
Gao Yi looked at the heavy rain in the sky, his jacket and hunting knife hanging on his waist fluttering gently.
He finally understood.
…
Shan'ao, in the village.
A group of people were holding various objects such as wooden sticks, iron pipes, etc., and were marching nervously on the country road.
Compared with when they escaped, this team only had one less person.
Zhang Chaoxian watched six directions, listened to eight directions, and tightly protected his wife who was holding his son behind him. At the same time, he couldn't help but worry about a certain Mr. Gao.
This Mr. Gao, of course, does not refer to Gao Yi's vest, but his cousin.
Yes, the person who disappeared in the team was his cousin.
Also disappearing with him was his family's Samoyed. According to Zhang Chaoxian's own impression, they probably left just after escaping from the farmhouse.
As expected, it was Samoyed who discovered the location of the other high school student's cousin and brought him there.
But at this time, there is no such thing as working alone.
Even Zhang Chaoxian himself was reluctant to the shop owner's suggestion, but for the sake of his wife and children, and for the last glimmer of hope, he had to raise his weapon and follow the others into dangerous places.
It was also at this time that he finally understood what his father said about the grandeur hidden under the calm surface of this world.
That's right, it's magnificent, not erratic.
"Oh my God!"
One person couldn't help but exclaimed, which immediately attracted the attention of most people in the team. As if aware of the inappropriateness of his behavior, the man subconsciously covered his mouth.
Before setting off, they set a few rules.
First, reduce meaningless communication between each other as much as possible.
This person now is the initiator of a possible meaningless exchange.
Naturally, he received a questioning look from the store owner.
The shop owner's family members were all in the village at this time, and logically and logically, he would not want the team he had managed to pull together to end up in disaster because of some completely avoidable trivial matter.
The man seemed to be pointing at a piece of grass outside the dirt road ahead.
Everyone looked at it one after another, and they couldn't help but feel a little evil.
A burly black figure fell in the mud, and it could be seen that he had been dead for a long time. Before it died, it seemed to have struggled hard, as the half of the road ahead that was horribly plowed was the best proof.
The locals in the team could easily recognize the identity of the black figure, but at the same time, they were disgusted with this section of road that was filled with blood and peculiar smell.
"ox?"
Zhang Chaoxian followed the team and carefully passed by the dead body, feeling disgusted and a little surprised at the same time.
In this day and age, people in the city may have never seen the kind of cattle that were used to plow the fields in the countryside. They have strong endurance but are hardworking and work hard, reclaiming long-abandoned farmland again and again in early spring.
If Gao Yi were here, he would be extremely vigilant.
No one has ever said where the evolution of this alien characteristic will end. It uses the advantages gained by one creature after another during evolution. Perhaps even humans are just a dispensable link before reaching the end.
So he will be wary of a more powerful alien.
But the marching team had no such concept. They quickly passed the cattle carcasses, and now they just understood that they and others were getting closer to danger.
"boom!"
A loud noise suddenly came from one side of the room, which immediately caused everyone in the team to tremble. They subconsciously raised the thing in their hands and stared at the direction of the room, as if they were going to fight with it at any time.
"..."
Vaguely, they heard a man's muffled voice.
Everyone looked at each other, some wondering what was going on. However, out of the need to save people, they still moved closer to the house.
As he got closer, the male voice became clearer.
"damn it……"
"Take us out..."
"Otherwise, I will kill your granddaughter..."
After hearing the voice clearly, Zhang Chaoxian in the team subconsciously clenched the iron pipe in his hand.
The veins on the back of the hand are bulging.
