Departing at noon, it was nearly dusk when I arrived at Red Cliff Town.

Although it is near Demingham, it is only a small country town, and the road conditions in the second half of the road are not good, and it was a rainstorm week some time ago, although the wind and rain here are not as violent as Demingham, they must also be affected.

It was a bumpy ride, and the situation only got better when it got to the vicinity of the town.

"Why are there so many people at the gate of the town, is there any holiday today?"

Stephanie looked out the window at the entrance of the town, where oxen and horse-drawn carts came and went, most of which still had various objects on the boards.

It's nearly evening, and at this point in time, it's no wonder that Stephanie thinks they're going to have a festive party.

"Look closely, those wooden carts have futons on them, and in the baskets are some dry and hard wheat bread, what kind of party do you have to bring your own bedding to participate?"

Donald looked out the window at the bullock cart passing by, his eyes swept over the loads behind him, and turned back to Stephanie.

"Really, and why did they do that......

This is obviously the same question that Pence wanted to ask earlier.

"It's very simple, gather the masses, reduce casualties, it can also be simply called huddle for warmth, this method is a bit stupid, but I have to say that it is a good method, the population of rural towns is often very scattered, they have their own land, ponds or forest farms where they usually hunt and chop wood, the undead are likely to attack some of the residents on the periphery, they are isolated, once they are found by the undead, the chance of survival is very small, after all, the result of wanting to avoid the undead who are looking for people with the breath of life by hiding is to force themselves into some corners and let others...... The slaughter of the undead and the gathering of people by the government are nothing more than the hope that at least this town can be protected with limited strength, let's stop first, I want to go down and have a look. ”

Donald explained in detail, and this is the conclusion that he deliberately gathered a lot of intelligence in a short period of time through agile thinking.

Not only the clutter on the board, but Donald also saw the unrelenting sadness on the faces of the people who came and went, as well as some of the downward and frowning facial expressions in their conversations, how could such an emotional state be a good thing, and what is the worst thing about Red Cliff Town at the moment?

Isn't that exactly what they're about to deal with?

If it were Boglo Campbell or Anthony, he would probably only say the first half of the sentence, because the minds of these two people can quickly think of these things, but not Stephanie and Pence.

It's not that they're stupid...... Well, if I have to say, they really can't keep up with Donald, who started agile thinking.

His gaze swept over their faces casually, and he saw a look of thought and some surprise, and Donald knew that his thinking ahead had worked well, and that Pence and Stephanie should add a smart label to his impression.

And that's what he's really for.

Most people will have emotions similar to jealousy and admiration for people who are smarter than themselves, and this emotion, if done properly, can turn them into another kind of emotion that Donald wants—convincing.

The premise is that you have to make the other person think that you are smart, that you are more, faster, and more accurate than they think.

This feeling does not depend on a sentence or two or a blow of the sleeves, and the spirit of the king can be released, but by practical actions, and subtly let his image penetrate into the hearts of the people.

Thankfully, Donald does have that talent.

Pence parked the car on a nearby road, and Horn Shelley, who was in front, noticed their actions and chose to park the car on the side of the road as well.

Two cars, which are rare in this kind of rural town, stopped outside the entrance of the town, which naturally attracted the attention of several policemen who maintained order nearby, Suzanne greeted her with her previous document bag and documents, and Horn Shelley looked at the surrounding situation, as if thinking about something.

Donald glanced at the moon in the sky and the sunset in the distance, which had already sunk behind the mountains, and took a few steps closer to Horn Shelley.

"Captain Shelley, I think the people here should be people on the front line of the case, I want to ask them about the situation and collect first-hand information. ”

Donald didn't want to give the impression of being self-assertive and acting on his own.

"Okay, you take two more people, I'll go to the police station, act together, and at 7 o'clock, the police station will meet. ”

After leaving Dmingham, Horn Shelley seemed much more in a normal mood, and was adept at responding to Donald's requests for instructions.

I can't see the drunken and playboy appearance of yesterday at all.

Donald looked at his departing back and turned back to Stephanie and Pence.

"Let's go and ask the people around us about what happened in Red Cliff Town recently, how is it? You don't have to deliberately lean on the undead, you can ask if there are any suspicious people, strange things that have happened, and so on. ”

The three of us followed me instead of the two of you, Donald tried to create a squad atmosphere as much as possible, and Stephanie immediately took out her notes from her backpack without saying anything, and Donald focused more on Pence.

"I'm okay, just don't let me stay with that guy, do anything. ”

Pence still had a lot of opinions about Horn Shelley, and Donald thought that this might be an opportunity, so he deliberately approached Stephanie when he dispersed to ask.

"I'll ask Pence about Horn Shelley later, pay attention to cooperation, and you can hold this, your natural ability is not a combat type, right? This inscription scroll is a level 2 inscription, an ice trap, if you encounter danger, you can use it by tearing it off, you can place a trigger-type trap anywhere, or you can detonate it independently. ”

Donald handed the inscription scroll to Stephanie and said in a low voice.

"Thanks, but I don't have the money......"

"I know, this is my investment in you, this mission is obviously a combat mission, I don't want my companion I just approved to die in the mission, understand? If anyone else asks, just say that you bought it with me, and the price of this inscription is 15 gold pounds. ”

The previous wolfhound inscription was a special ability, so it could be sold at a high price in the sea market, and the other level 2 inscriptions were naturally cheaper, but 15 gold pounds was actually more than half of an investigator's salary a month.

If you want to win over people, words and actions are part of it, and small favors are naturally indispensable, Donald gave the level 2 inscription to Stephanie for free, on the one hand, he really didn't want Stephanie to have an accident, judging from the previous situation, she was obviously a novice, if there was a problem with the first task, Donald spent so much effort before and it was lost.

On the other hand, this kind of private, single-goal giving will make the other person feel valued, which is a good way to get closer.

"Okay, I understand, Donald, thank you!"

Stephanie clutched the inscription scroll and pocketed it, and for ease of movement, the investigators mostly wore trench coats, both men and women.

Of course, women's nature is more slim.

"Hello, we are investigators from Demingham, and we are here to help you solve the problem, can you tell me about what happened recently?"

Donald found a well-dressed man, obviously with a certain level of education, and it would be much easier for such a person to communicate.

"Investigators from Dmingham, oh, you guys couldn't have come at the right time...... Monsters, outside Red Cliffs, probably ...... Probably in that area, monsters appeared, they rushed into the Dirks house, the Cannes house, they killed people...... It was cruel, I saw the corpse, you know, that scene ......"

Knowing that it was the person who came to help, the man in front of him was a little emotional, he had been to the scene of the murder, which made him still pale when he remembered, took out a cigarette from his arms and lit one for himself, and handed it to Donald, who waved his hand and refused.

The two moved their conversation to a nearby tree, just beside the road, and there was a wide dirt road behind Donald, and the trees on either side were apparently trimmed, and the canopy of the trees crossed more or less about three meters above the road.

When the setting sun casts, there are many red spots of light reflected on the ground, and naturally there are shadows of branches, which should be a peaceful scene, but now it is a little more noisy because of the crowd coming and going.

"Relax, sir, please keep your composure, I don't mean to remind you of those bad scenes, I want to ask if anything strange has happened in town lately? ”

Retracting his gaze, Donald stroked the stubble on his chin and pointed to his side, signaling Finger not to run around.

"Strange things? The strangest thing I think is the appearance of these monsters. ”

"No, before that, I mean what happened before these monsters appeared, maybe some strange phenomenon, maybe one or a few strange people. ”

When something big happens, it's easy to overlook a lot of details, such as the fact that we don't use the ingredients used to make these milkshake-like liquids while watching the egg waffle juice pour over the iron plate.

Donald tried to guide the other person to recall some time ago.

"Sorry, I don't know, I live outside the town, and I usually only come to the town if I need to buy things"

"It's okay, have you ever seen anything like this? This one on this picture. ”

Donald asked as he turned the book "Expulsion of Evil" to the page where the demon cage was written, pointing to the printed picture on it.

"This ...... I've seen it in a forest outside the town, in the south-east, my wife and I have seen it while walking or collecting firewood, and she has made a point of mentioning it to me, saying that she saw a tall fat man hanging these wooden cages from a tree. ”

Unexpected news gains.
