Section 294 Harvest
"The warlock has called," the master said without continuing. "It doesn't look dangerous. ”
Lu Wu stood up and told the two mercenaries, namely Tony and White, that everything was normal. However, the two men still showed professional qualities, and they carefully observed their surroundings, but they could keep up with Lu Wu in terms of speed of movement.
There was a dead silence in the town.
Although in fact, everyone, including the two PMCs, has a hunch. But really seeing this kind of scene of corpses, the two PMCs, even if they are professional, still show great discomfort.
It's not that they can't kill, it's not that they haven't seen murder, but they really haven't seen such a scene.
It was an indiscriminate massacre. All of them died, men, women, old people, children, no exception.
Then again, it's not like they've never seen a similar scene. Maybe in countries like Europe and the United States, this kind of thing is rare, but in the kind of ghost places in Africa, tribal conflicts kill the whole family, it is a common thing. If the two rival tribes were to divide the winners, not to mention the men, the women and children would be killed. Even to be tortured and killed.
But this time the scene was still special: the dead were staggering everywhere, some on the roadside, some in the house, and even some sitting on roadside chairs and chatting. Their deaths came so quickly and suddenly that they themselves had not even had time to react before their throats were slit by the scythe of death. Again, although most of the corpses have begun to decompose, it is not difficult for these mercenaries who have experience in the battlefield to examine the semi-decomposed corpses - there is no trace of death on the corpses.
Yes, the cause of death is unknown. There is no proof of fighting at the scene. There were no bullet marks, bullet casings, resistance and flight, no explosions, flames, or the like. Of course, there are a few houses that have been burned down, but judging from the situation at the scene, this fire should be the stove burning before the person died, and the flame went out of control after the person died, causing the fire.
Even for the mercenaries who have seen the sea of corpses and blood, this scene is still a little too weird. At first, it was fine, but when they got to the back, both of them clearly felt that there seemed to be a steel claw crawling on the backbone. As the saying goes, the oldest and strongest human emotion is fear, and the oldest and strongest fear is the fear of the unknown.
This kind of death is completely abnormal, even if it is inhumane such as poison gas, chemical agents, etc., weapons of mass destruction will not produce such a strange effect. It was as if they were in a dream, dying without a struggle.
Amber had already made a circle around town. With no one else to follow, Amber does the job as fast as she can. The Stygian Warlock is long gone, and there is nothing left here except the dead.
It must be said that although Lu Wu remained calm on the surface, he couldn't be calm at all inside. This is, after all, a (relatively) peaceful world on Earth. In this world, he might be able to watch seven or eight guys who obviously don't look like good people walking in the wild without any waves, but looking at such a miserable slaughter scene, he can't deal with it calmly.
The reason why he didn't change color was just a stalemate of habit.
"Amber, what's going on?" Lu Wu asked softly. At this time, they were already far away from the two PMCs, and they couldn't hear them when they spoke lightly.
"The magic of the seventh law. Amber said. "It should have been attacked by the powerful Seventh Law magic power, which directly led to paralysis of the respiratory system and suffocation. ”
Lu Wu had seen the scene where the magic of the Seventh Law directly brought down a large group of soldiers. In his concept, the magic of this law is to make people fall asleep (a little bit is drowsy, a little more is lethargy. Of course, when you fall asleep, you will naturally be slaughtered), but I didn't expect this kind of killing effect.
"Are you sure?"
Amber nodded. "I'm sure, there's a strong residue of magic everywhere. She said. "I'm not sure what's going on, but I think the Lunacer must have been furious. ”
Was it because the artifact was lost in the town?
But...... Where will the artifact be?
The master never reacted in the process just now. This means that he did not find anything noteworthy.
That artifact, no matter what it looks like on the outside (as mentioned earlier, it can only be confirmed that the artifact is not particularly large, it belongs to the kind of size that a person can easily carry around), but it should be different on the inside. And looking through the outside, that's the master's specialty.
"The magic residue in this area is still very strong, and he must have gone on a killing spree at that time...... Most people die under the magic of the Seventh Law, but there are other magic powers at work. Amber said. "Very strong...... That Stygian is really strong. If that's the limit of his abilities, he's a strong man. If that's not his limit......"
Although Amber didn't finish his words, Lu Wu fully understood that if this was not the Moon Warlock's all-out efforts, then he could belong to the category of "peerless powerhouse". It's basically the kind of grade that earns the title by relying on its own strength. I don't dare to say that I can ride a thousand on the battlefield, but at least I can make my opponent regret it to death if I fight alone.
"What about the Stygian Warlocks?"
"The scars have begun to fade...... I guess I didn't come back after leaving. Amber replied. However, it is still uncertain whether he recovered the artifact afterwards. ”
Of course, logically speaking, since he is still lingering in this area, it should be that he has not been recovered. Lu Wu estimated that the chances of the other party retrieving the artifact, even if it could not be said to be negligible, at least it was less than one in a thousand.
"The concentration of the magic residue is very even, and after he left, he probably didn't come back. Otherwise, it is easy to judge by the different shades. Amber replied. "As a result of such a high-intensity use of magical power, his body will continue to produce magical residues. These residues will also remain in the air...... This means that if you want to track him, you will definitely be able to find him. ”
That's good news.
Although it is certain that the Moon Warlock must have searched as far as he could before leaving. But since he came here, especially with the help of a master, Lu Wu decided to search around. What if that artifact is here? You know, if one person hides something, a hundred people may not be able to find it.
The perception range of the master, even without the support of any external force, is relatively far. So Lu Wu only needs to walk around the town, basically.
The two PMCs were starting to get a little suspicious at this time. But even if they were suspicious, they knew from experience and instinct that there was no danger here. The two men still took out their cameras, intending to take some pictures and give them back to Thomas. PMCs also have their own rules, for example, such scenes must be kept secret and cannot be disclosed to the outside world unless the employer's permission is obtained.
Lu Wu and Amber split the two sides and made an attempt to search.
Of course, Lu Wu is just putting on a show. He believed that the master was already looking. Sure enough, after taking a few steps, the master used his mobile phone to vibrate and make a prompt. Because the magic power can make the warlock's hearing far surpass that of humans, the master does not dare to use Bluetooth headsets to contact Lu Wu directly. But it's fine with mobile phones.
Lu Wu took out his mobile phone, and a short message reminded him to look about twenty meters ahead and discard the backpack on the left side of the road.
In fact, there is no need for a master to remind you, Lu Wu will also notice it immediately. Because that backpack is really conspicuous. A blue-green camouflage, high-end-looking imitation military backpack was thrown on the side of the road. This kind of thing doesn't look like this place.
Lu Wu picked up the backpack, and Amber also came over.
"This is ......" Lu Wu had to say, although the shape of this backpack looks very ordinary, but if you look closely, there are some unusual places. The first is that it doesn't have a brand. Yes, it looks brand new, but nowhere can you find the brand marks that the Earth Commodity is sure to have. Secondly, it is very complete, there is no damage from beginning to end, and there is even some debris in it. It wasn't supposed to be left on the side of the road - it wasn't around what looked like the corpse of its owner.
Amber gently pinched the plastic buckle of the backpack, or what looked like plastic. As soon as her hand was forced, the entire buckle was strongly deformed. But when Amber's finger was removed, the buckle returned to its original state.
Lu Wu couldn't help but be surprised, he broke one of the hooks of the buckle and forcibly bent it more than ninety degrees. It stands to reason that no material on earth can withstand this level of deformation. But when Lu Wu let go of his finger, the thing immediately returned to normal, and not even a single trace was left.
This thing is clearly not normal!
Lu Wu noticed that there was a notebook in the sundries...... When he took it out, all the questions were answered. The paper used in this notebook is not the paper of plant fibers on earth. In fact, there is no such paper on the earth, on the contrary, tile songs are very common. It's lighter, stronger, easier to preserve, and feels like the product of some kind of industrialized technology.
This backpack should have been brought by the Stygian Warlock.
Lu Wu opened the notebook, and there were some things recorded on it. Of course, it's a text from another world. There is no longer any doubt about it.
There are some things written in the notebook that look like a diary. Come to Earth...... Preliminary tests of the artifact were conducted in accordance with the regulations, and it was found that the effect was also good on Earth...... Put away the artifact and plan to merge with your local companions to determine what to do...... Then the artifact was lost...... Angry curses...... And try to use magic to search......
In the end, he seemed to regret that he had gone too far. Everyone has been killed, and even the most powerful second law magic power cannot be carried out according to the corpse. Therefore, he couldn't retrieve the artifact by his own strength.
With no other choice, he ended up using the ultimate solution, which was to ask for help from the rear. The Stygian had anticipated this for a long time, and had crafted a targeted instrument. He asked the rear to transport special instruments to this world to search for artifacts.
But after all, it is a crossing that relies on treasures, and without the assistance of the first lawman, the position of the crossing cannot be fixed, and there will be a big deviation (this Lu Wu has seen before). Before the machine could be sent from behind, he had to control a large area around the perimeter. In particular, no one should be allowed to move within this range. Otherwise, if someone transports a valuable and fragile machine to it or breaks it, then things are really out of control.
Of course, the above is a summary of Lu Wu's brain supplement after reading it. The words in the book are actually very messy.,Very sloppy.,And it's not a chapter.。 Basically, what comes to mind, what to say, east and west. It can be seen that the Moon Sorcerer seems to have a habit of writing to vent his emotions. It's not to record anything, it's just to vent an emotion.
After Lu Wu read it, he handed the thing to Amber.
Amber was also quickly finished.
They searched around the town again, and as a matter of course, they found nothing else. The only thing left to do was to make the return trip. These corpses will decompose after a while, and nothing will be found.
The two men returned to the expedition camp before dark.
