Chapter 203: Escalation!
After a grand dinner party was held in the evening, the Shinto Conference was officially over, Yi Tian went to his house with Yun Feiyang, helped Yun Feiyang wash the meridians and refine the true yuan, and after a lot of effort, he finally relieved Yun Feiyang's stubborn illness in cultivation.
In this regard, Yun Feiyang thanked him, but more gratitude was in his heart, Yi Tian didn't feel anything, it was just a gesture, and the relationship between the two was really good, and he had trouble Yun Feiyang to help him many times before, which could be regarded as a return.
That night, Yi Tian stayed directly at Yun Feiyang's house, and the next morning, he took a taxi to the astrology shop run by the Liu sisters to find Catherine.
When I arrived at the place, before I could get inside, I saw Catherine just walking out of the astrology room, she was dressed in a hiking suit, a backpack, sunglasses, and her long hair was scattered and draped over her shoulders.
Yi Tian was the same as usual, wearing a black coat and carrying a slightly bulky black bag, if the two stood together, it would look a little out of place.
Seeing that Catherine was the only one, Yi Tian came to the front and said, "Catherine, you seem to be quite well prepared, is it just you?" What about the others? ”
Originally, Yi Tian thought that the people from the British Astrology Alliance and the Liu sisters would also set off together, but they didn't see anyone.
Catherine replied: "The most important thing this time is to go to explore the clues, it's useless to have a lot of people, I really ran into Earl William, not only can't help, but also causes a burden to me, the people of the astrological alliance, I didn't inform them, Liu Ying and Liu Xin also have to follow, no way, I have to let them sleep well for a while." ”
Hearing this, Yi Tian smiled: "In this way, can I still play a role in your eyes?" Hehe, what an honor. ”
Catherine smiled, "I can count on your help." I also feel very honored, Master Yi. ”
There was a sedan parked in front of the astrology room. It was the Liu sisters, and when they learned that Yi Tian couldn't drive, Catherine drove Yi Tian to her destination.
The suburbs of Yanjing, Yi Tian is not familiar with it, both of them use maps to identify the direction, fortunately, both of them are very smart, and they have a strong sense of direction, and the journey is very smooth.
There are two villages in which the accident occurred. It's Xiaohe Village and Black Mountain Village, and their first stop is Xiaohe Village.
Yi Tian had already obtained relevant information from the Theological Association, so they wanted to ask the family of the victim of the livestock first.
When the car drove into Xiaohe Village, she found that there were many people in the village running in one direction, as if something had happened, and seeing that the road in the village was narrow and it was impossible to drive in, Catherine parked the car, and the two walked towards the village.
Walking room. From time to time, people ran past their figures, and at this time, Yi Tian saw an old man walking quickly, and he stepped forward and asked, "Uncle." What are you doing here? Why is it so lively? ”
When the old man looked sideways at Yi Tian, he was a little better, when he saw Catherine. He frowned, looking a little wary and asked, "Where are you from?" ”
Yi Tian replied: "Uncle." We came from the city, and we were all students. I heard from a friend that the scenery here is good, and the mountains and rivers are surrounded by mountains, so I want to come here to collect wind and inspire some creative inspiration. With that, he took out his student ID from his satchel, "This is my student ID." ”
The old man didn't know much about reading, but he saw Yi Tian's photo and the words 'Jingda' from the student ID, so he believed his words, "If you want to see the scenery, I advise you to go back, the village has not been peaceful recently, and some bizarre things often happen, no, in the east of the village, the old Zhang family has an accident again." ”
Yi Tian frowned slightly, and had a premonition that something was going on, "I also heard some rumors on the way here, I heard that there are wild beasts attacking livestock, there shouldn't be any problems for us to come to collect wind, right?" ”
The old man sighed, frowned, and said, "It was like this, but from today onwards, it will be different, because the beasts have begun to attack not only livestock, but also people......"
"What?" Yi Tian was surprised, he felt that things were not good, and so was Catherine, and his face immediately sank.
Yi Tian then asked, "The one who happened was the person you just mentioned?" ”
The old man nodded without saying much, and ignored the two of them and walked quickly along the flow of people.
At this moment, Catherine spoke: "Things are troublesome, he has already begun to attack people, if he is not wiped out as soon as possible, as he kills more people, his strength will increase faster, and at that time, it will be an irreparable disaster." ”
"I thought that guy had changed his sex, but I didn't expect it to reveal his original form so soon, don't do it in my hands, otherwise, I'll be the first to kill him!" Yi Tian gritted his teeth.
"Let's go, let's go and see the situation first."
After a while, the two followed the direction of the flow of people and came to the east end of the village, and saw two police cars parked on the periphery, the scene of the crime set up a cordon, several policemen were investigating the scene inside, and there were some villagers watching in the periphery, but they were all adults.
Yi Tian and Catherine came to a position outside the cordon, looked inside, and found a bloody man lying in a farmland, his chest turned out, blood dripping all over the ground, because of the cold weather, they were all frozen, and the most terrible thing was that the heart was dug out!
Seeing this, Yi Tian had already decided in his heart that this was what Count William did, and Catherine also had the same idea, recently the two surrounding villages were continuously gouged out of their hearts, and now it has finally been implemented on people, according to her thoughts, Count William's realm has been upgraded!
Through the whispered discussions of the surrounding villagers, it can be understood that the deceased went out drinking and returned late, and had an accident in the middle of the night.
Yi Tian and Catherine finished inspecting the scene and understanding the situation, then came to a place where no one was, "Catherine, do you have any way to search for the whereabouts of Count William?" ”
Catherine shook her head, "I observed just now, and there are no clues to inquire about. ”
"Hey, I'm too, I haven't found any trace of the soul of the deceased, otherwise, I would have been able to find out the whereabouts of Earl William, so what now? Why don't we stay here for two days to see how things go? ”
"It seems that this is the only way, I hope Count William can show up!"
Yi Tian nodded. But there is another very important issue that worries him the most. "According to your estimates, the realm and strength of Count William. To what extent has it been reached? Can you beat him? ”
As for Catherine's strength, Yi Tian knows that he is much stronger than himself, so he didn't count himself, if Catherine can't solve it, there will only be Shanzhi.
"It's not a big problem, it's your ......"
Yi Tian said with a smile: "I have one of the best skills, which is to run fast, don't worry." Won't drag you down. ”
In fact, Yi Tian also wanted to be a master in front of Catherine, but he knew that now was not the time to be strong, and in his opinion, it took courage to be able to run away unabashedly in front of a big beauty.
However, the next problem made Yi Tian a little difficult, this is a rural area on the outskirts of Yanjing, but there is no hotel. If you want to stay in a hotel or something like that, you have to find a place to stay if you want to wait for Earl William to show up.
Just as the police finished surveying the scene, the crowd dispersed. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl wearing a red printed cotton jacket walked past Yi Tian, who looked average. A pair of bright eyes look particularly bright.
Yi Tian accosted: "Little sister, ask you." Is there a place to stay, my friend and I would like to stay here for a few days. Get a taste of farm life and spend money to rent a house. ”
At this time, he himself felt a little hot on his face, he came out of the countryside, no one knew rural life better than him, and now he actually wanted to find such an excuse, it was really helpless.
"How much can I pay?" The girl didn't have a trace of shyness, and asked very cheerfully.
Yi Tian asked, "Do you have an empty house?" ”
The girl nodded in response.
"If your family has a vacant house, you can make an offer."
The girl held her chin with one hand and made a contemplative gesture, "How about thirty dollars a day?" ”
Yi Tian didn't respond, pretending to think, the girl felt that it was no fun when she saw this, her eyes rolled, and she added: "You can take care of the rice!" ”
This girl is very smart, and she knows how to be sophisticated, this is Yi Tian's first feeling, judging from the other party's dress, the family background is not very good.
Catherine next to her smiled, looking like she liked this little girl very much, and Yi Tian was the same, he said with a smile on his face: "Okay, then do as you say, the two of us will give you sixty yuan a day, and we are not picky eaters, what do you eat, we may have to stay here for a few more days, let's give you five days' rent first." He took out three hundred dollars from his satchel and handed it to the girl.
The girl was stunned for a moment, her eyes rolled again, and she hurriedly caught the money, "Okay, then let's make a decision, let's go!" ”
She walked in front, followed by Yi Tian and Catherine, Catherine smiled and whispered, "This girl should have said that the two of them were thirty a day just now, right?" ”
Yi Tian smiled and nodded: "It seems like this." ”
After a while, several people came to an adobe wall, and when they entered it were three mud houses, "Grandpa, grandpa......" As soon as they entered, the girl shouted happily.
With the voice, an old man came out of the room, and when he saw Yi Tian and Catherine, he had a puzzled expression on his face.
Seeing this, Yi Tian said: "Hehe, uncle, such a coincidence, it turns out that this is your home." ”
"Why are you here? Is there something wrong? ”
The girl interjected: "Grandpa, he wants to rent our house, No, this is five days' rent, a total of three hundred yuan." ”
The old man glared and said, "Nonsense! Did you ask someone for it? Hurry up and give the money to others. ”
The girl pouted very reluctantly, and the happy expression just now disappeared.
"Uncle, I gave it to her, let her help me find a house, there are no requirements, just live there."
Hearing Yi Tian's words, the old man frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "There is a house, but there is only one vacant room, and besides, the money you gave is too much, I think it's better to forget it." ”
Yi Tian didn't expect such a situation, there is only one room, it doesn't seem to be very good, right? As he thought in his heart, he looked at Catherine, who was nothing of a big man, and was afraid that Catherine would feel awkward.
Catherine frowned slightly, then nodded at Yi Tian in agreement.
Yi Tian turned his head to the old man and said, "Let's go one room, uncle, you can take the money, we will inevitably disturb you these days, so be it!" ”
Seeing that this old man was a real person, he took the money after several shirks.
After the old man and the girl cleaned up the room in the north, Yi Tian and Catherine stayed here temporarily, and through understanding, they learned that the old man's surname was Li, and the girl's name was Cuicui.
During the day, Yi Tian and Catherine arranged some perceptual formations and settings for the entire village through their respective skills, and if Earl William appeared, they would perceive through these perceptual settings.
In the blink of an eye, it was night, Yi Tian and Catherine had no intention of sleeping, and there was nothing to talk about, Catherine sat on the side and closed her eyes to recuperate, Yi Tian lay down thinking about things, and looked at Catherine from time to time, he himself felt magical, originally two people of different nationalities, and people who didn't know each other at all, now they are alone in a room, it's really amazing enough.
