Vol.1 The Spread of Parasitic Species 02.Assisting in the Investigation (3)

"Well, let me think about it. ”

The sudden invitation caught Kiriha off guard.

"It's okay, that's what I thought of this out of the blue. ”

The bridges in the vicinity have been fully documented. Lu Ling decided to move deeper, although this was already a relatively central location in the blockade area, in fact, it was still a place affected by the battle. According to the official information, the actual place where the "demon" and the pursuer fought was the bridge above the river, and the closer it was, the more obvious the traces of the battle.

However, the mere impact of the impact is so unsightly.

"Gone. ”

"Oh. ”

They walked towards the embankment.

Along the way, large swaths of floor tiles were lifted up, and the ground was completely shattered gravel and dirt underneath.

The green belt on the side has long been unrecognizable, countless branches have been reduced to ashes in the fire, and thick trees have been uprooted and blocked in the middle of the road.

Fortunately, the levee was unharmed, and although it was densely strewn with marks like cigarette butts, the thick walls kept it from being destroyed in the aftermath of the battle.

Kiriha walked to the embankment in front of him and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

This is exactly where the original bridge extended, but the bridge itself collapsed so completely that if it weren't for the piers left on the water, people would have mistakenly thought that the north bridge never existed.

Kiriba lowered his head and looked at the bridge body soaked in the water on the shore, in the flow of the tide, like a stranded whale.

"Don't talk about you, even I think it's a bit exaggerated right now. ”

Lu Ling looked around the mess and said with a faint sigh.

"Are we going to investigate the levee next? So we're going down?"

"There's no need, the data should be all available. ”

"The records of those bridges before are fine, right?"

"Based on that, we're enough to analyze a lot of information. For example, the estimation of the flame temperature, the effective time of the spell, the characteristics of the spell, etc., and even the more professional ones can make these data into intuitive images......"

Just as Lu Ling was seriously explaining that these measurement notes would be converted into visual data, Kiripa suddenly interrupted her.

"Wait a minute, Lu Ling, what's there. ”

"Where?"

She followed the fingers of the paulownia leaves, it was the place between the bridges, and in the middle floated a colorful thing, which looked like some kind of fabric from the material. The thing rushed to the shore with the current, rising and falling through the crevices, and finally ran aground on the gravel beach below.

To their surprise, it was a swollen corpse.

"Stand still. ”

As soon as Lu Ling's words fell, she had already climbed over the fence and rowed down the slope to the bottom.

"How?"

Kiriha asked, standing on the embankment.

"There are traces of teeth and the body is not complete. ”

"What should I do? Do you want to call the police?"

"I'll contact Sister Li first. ”

The girl pulled the rope and climbed up the embankment.

"Wait a minute, there's a corpse over there, too!"

Kiritha pointed to the fence not far away and shouted.

And over there in the grass, in the trees, in the bushes......

Wriggling maggots appeared on some of the corpses, and the foul smell indicated that the corpses were no longer fresh. However, the bones and decaying flesh showed clear tooth marks on them, and a closer look revealed that the corpses were incomplete, almost every corpse was mutilated. On the slightly fresher corpses, you can see the signs of biting.

Kiritha covered her mouth and restrained her constant strong urge to vomit.

"This is the demon's tooth mark......" Lu Ling's face became very solemn. "There may be demons here. ”

"What should I do?"

Although Kiritha had long thought of the danger he might encounter, when the danger did come, he found himself still feeling helpless.

"Don't do anything, just stay by my side. ”

She pulled out her phone and sent a message at lightning speed.

- Northbridge, Demon.

She slipped her phone into her bag, zipped it up, and removed the black stick hanging behind her. A swirling blue stream of air appeared around the stick, and the current instantly crushed the black yarn, revealing the knife within, and she pulled it out of its scabbard and held it in her hand.

The knife had an extremely clean pale blue blade, and with its inky black gauntlets and well-proportioned grips, it gave an indescribable sense of depth.

"Be careful, something is coming. ”

Looking at the stunned Tong Ye of the knife, he came back to his senses. Lu Ling looked around vigilantly, her sharp gaze sweeping back and forth, looking like a night owl foraging for food.

"Now—"

"Don't speak, listen to the voice. ”

Tong Ye hurriedly shut up, at this time the surrounding environment was extremely silent, except for the sound of water flowing from under the embankment behind him, even the sound of the wind seemed to be silenced. The air seemed to freeze, or with a weight of a thousand catties or even ten thousand catties, he felt his heart pounding, and his breathing became more and more rapid with the highly tense nerves.

The tense nerves for a long time made him feel a little suffocated, but he was afraid of disturbing Lu Ling, who was focused, so he could only grit his teeth and maintain this stiff posture of his body. Gradually, he began to feel a little dizzy as if he was drunk.

"It's nearby. ”

Hearing Lu Ling's voice, Tong Ye felt a little better, and his body relaxed a little. At this moment, he felt his feet shaking slightly, which he thought was his illusion, but the shaking became more and more obvious.

"Foot!"

Lu Ling's voice sounded, but when Tong Ye came back to his senses, the whole person was already flying in the air. A dark figure emerged from the ground beneath his feet, the sharp claws of his hands slicing towards his waist.

"Ahh

Although the scream was humiliating, he couldn't help but scream.

He almost thought that he was finished, but death did not come, Lu Ling grabbed behind the monster in one step, blocked it with a horizontal knife, and slashed the hard carapace on the monster's back, and cyan liquid suddenly gushed out from the crack, and the severe pain caused the demon to pause for a moment. She quickly drew her knife and raised her hand, elbowing down the demon's back, knocking it to the ground.

Kiritha had fallen from the air to the ground, and the impact of the landing made every bone in his body tremble.

On the other side, before the monster could fight back, Lu Ling had already raised his hand and swung out the second knife, the pale blue knife light flickered, like a pair of flying swallows spreading their wings, and the limbs on the left and right sides of the monster were actually broken from the joints at the same time. The monster roared violently, and the wounds on its body continued to spew hot cyan liquid.

Lu Ling's third knife slashed down, this one slashed through the demon's neck, and then the hideous head flew up.

When Kiritha got up from the ground, he happened to see the moment the monster died, and he was immediately shocked by the image full of violent aesthetics.

It's amazing—

But it wasn't over yet, the girl shook off the liquid from the blade, her sharp eyes still tinged with vigilance.

"What's wrong?"

Kiripa turned his head to ask the girl, but he felt that he couldn't make a sound, he heard the wind, and then suddenly realized that the wind around him was so loud that it could almost drown out all the sounds.

When did the wind get so loud?

He was wondering when he saw the girl turn her head and shout at him.

"Be careful. ”

The next moment, he felt the soles of his feet shaking again.

Could it be—

Another monster emerged from the ground, the spikes in its hands stabbing swiftly into his skull. But this time, instead of knocking him into the sky from under his feet, the demon came from the place in front of him—

Kiritha subconsciously stepped back, dodging the monster's claws, but the monster closed the distance to him very quickly. In a panic, he tripped over a rock and hit his heel, and the next moment he stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Kiriha!"

Lu Ling's body flew up, and the pale blue knife had already been raised in his hand, and as long as he took a step in the past, he could see the demon. However, the scythe-like claws on the monster's hands are faster than her knives. Lu Ling stretched out his hand, with a blue light, countless winds appeared from this light, trying to wrap around the monster's body, but this was only blocked for a moment, even if the wind left staggered cracks on the monster's hard carapace, but it seemed to feel no pain, and frantically pounced on Tong Ye.

Seeing that, the monster's claws were infinitely close to Kiriha's throat. Kiriha could even smell the fishy stench on the demon's body, or clearly feel the cold touch from the tip of his claws, the oppression of the proximity to death made him a little breathless, and the skin above his neck was bloodless at this time.

"Don't-"

Lu Ling let out a desperate scream, and she threw out the knife in her hand in desperation. The speed of the knife is faster, but even so, it is still difficult to kill the demon before Kiriha dies.

Tong Ye could hear Lu Ling's voice, but the voice became smaller and smaller, until it was almost gone, and he faintly saw Lu Ling standing there in despair. But at this time, he seemed to see a slight change in Lu Ling's face.

The air was writhing violently, suggesting frightening temperatures. Where the monster stopped, its claws had already touched Kiriha's throat, and even punctured the epidermis, and blood flowed out of the wound.

Lu Ling saw that the demon's body was like a piece of red-hot iron, and it swelled up little by little, and exploded in an instant, and tongues of fire sprang up from the inside of its shattered body.

Cyan blood, shattered pieces of flesh—everything turned into sparks in the flames.

It wasn't until the demon was burned to the point that only a few pieces were left, and Lu Ling reacted.

The monster is dead. Or that annihilation is more appropriate.

And this was just in the blink of an eye, the knife that she threw out still flew towards Kiripa, grazing his shoulder, and the next moment blood splattered, and Kiripa also fell backwards to the ground.

The smell of burnt fire still permeated the air.

Lu Ling's face was pale, she slowly walked over, squatted down beside Tong Ye, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that the wound on the blade was not deep. Just now she almost thought that Kiriha was going to be killed by her own knife, and her whole heart suddenly clenched.

At this moment, she felt as if something was watching her behind her, and she turned her head sharply to see a dark figure standing on the bridge pier in the distance.

The figure turned, jumped off the pier, and disappeared from view.

Lu Ling subconsciously wanted to chase after her, but she felt the weight on her body, and finally could only sigh helplessly.

This feeling reminded her of what happened in the path, and she sat on the stone next to Kiritha with a knife when her phone rang.

"Where are you and how are you doing?"

Looks like they should have arrived.

"Shore. Is there any medical personnel coming?"

"Of course. ”

"How soon will it arrive?"

"Within fifteen minutes, don't worry. ”

Juli's words relieved her a little, but her mood was still extremely bad.

"Sister Li......"

"How?"

"It's all my fault. ”

The other side was silent for a second before responding.

"Say it to your face. ”

Lu Ling hung up the phone and looked at the unconscious Tong Ye, feeling remorse in her heart.
