Chapter Seventy-Four: The Breath of Money Power
Chu Ge's face became a little unsightly, and he didn't need to say anything about it, he also realized this.
Originally, he thought that only there were ghouls outside, but in fact, there were more ghouls inside the factory!
He guessed that the ghouls had probably lived in this place for a long time, and that the factory was their lair.
At this time, the ghouls in front of them had already dropped the stump and severed arm in their hands, let out a violent wheezing sound, stood up and slowly walked towards them.
Their sharp claws glistened in the light, and blood was dripping from their mouths.
Xiaopang couldn't help but swallow his saliva, he looked at Chu Ge beside him, "Shall we fight or not?"
"Hit your sister. Chu Ge glared at him, "You give it to Lu Dayou!"
Chu Ge turned around and ran, Xiaopang and Shui Wuyue followed closely behind, and the ghouls saw that their prey had run away, and hurriedly chased after them.
"Run!"
Chu Ge shouted, and there was exactly a corner in front of him.
In order to shake off the monster behind them, the three of them immediately sped up and ran towards the corner, and the ghouls followed closely behind, disappearing into the depths of the darkness with them.
But whether it was Chu Ge or the ghoul, they didn't notice that in the darkness on the other side of this corner, there were three people hiding.
"Eh, it's their ......" Hai's son-in-law couldn't help but say when he saw Chu Ge and them.
The detective held out his finger and made a silent gesture, and only when the ghouls were gone did they come out of the darkness.
"Whew......," Illya said with a sigh of relief, "it's a ...... risk."
They had been chased by ghouls just now, and it was with great difficulty that they hid.
They also didn't know where the other three companions had gone, and they were forced to split into two teams as soon as the game quest began.
But these ghouls are simply elusive, not only outside the factory, but also inside the factory.
"I think even if this quest is very difficult, it shouldn't be unsolvable, there must be a way to defeat these ghouls. ”
"We're going to have to figure out how to find those three key clues first. ”
"Map. Hearing Illya say this, no one should look near the son-in-law who looked to the sea.
Of the three of them, only Hai's son-in-law is an explorer player, and explorer players unlock the Explorer Map skill at level 5.
With this map, players can draw the places they have walked on the map, which is the most advantageous for exploring unknown dungeons.
Hai's son-in-law took out the map and looked at it, and while they were hiding from the ghouls, they were also trying to find the whereabouts of the key clues, and the map showed that it was a corridor, and there were many rooms they had not been to.
"Let's go over there and have a look. ”
In addition to the slaughtering line, there are many rooms in this factory, some of which are places for employees to rest, and some are storage rooms and offices.
They went to several rooms and found no clues until they came to an office.
I don't know how long this room has not been cleaned, the room is covered in dust, there are huge cobwebs hanging in the corner, and there is a desk in the room.
Pokerface took out the magnifying glass, and unexpectedly he found some traces in this room, and he immediately activated another skill of the detective.
"Restore on the spot!"
In his sight, the surroundings turned blue, and two illusory white figures appeared in the room, standing in front of the desk, as if they were packing something.
After reaching LV5, the detective will gain the next skill, Scene Restore.
On-site restoration: The detective's exclusive skill can recreate the scene according to the imprints and traces, making it more convenient for players to investigate and discover new clues and solve puzzles.
He saw that the desk was littered with papers, which had been covered in dust and turned grayish-yellow.
The living person did not pick up the document and blew away the dust on it, which revealed the text on it: "Pig Slaughterhouse Ledger Record Form"
This records the details of the pork in the factory, such as the time the pork enters the field, the origin of the live pigs, and so on.
They found that almost every year, the factory would buy a large number of live pigs for slaughter, and these live pigs basically came from the pig farms in Black Kirishima, and only some special breeds of live pigs came from outside the island.
The number of these live pigs is very significant, and after being slaughtered, some of them are put in cold storage, some are transported to meat processing plants, they are made into sausages, bacon, jerky, etc., and some are sent to shops.
A brief look at this document shows that there is a lot of miscellaneous information, but there is basically nothing useful.
At this moment, Illya also picked up a brown paper bag. The paper bag was opened, and she saw a stack of papers inside, archival records about the factory.
According to the archives, the factory was built two years ago, and in the past it used to be a cemetery, so the land is very cheap. In the first year of its opening, the factory was operating normally, but soon, something strange happened.
There have been workers who worked late at night who disappeared halfway, and security guards on duty said they heard some strange sounds, and some people even saw some strange figures wandering outside the factory.
These things are actually not serious, but until one day......
A young girl went missing, and a few days later, her body was found in the factory, her body had been ravaged beyond recognition, her limbs had been severed, and the death was horrifying.
This incident caused a huge sensation throughout Black Kirishima Island, and the police immediately cordoned off the scene, and the factory was forced to close because of this brutal murder......
"It's cruel. ”
Illya couldn't help but think of the introduction of the factory in the previous opening animation, whether it was the girl who was killed, or those weird things, I am afraid that they are inseparable from ghouls.
They stayed in the office and rummaged around, but unfortunately they didn't see anything else useful.
Several people looked at each other and decided to leave the place.
Hai's son-in-law cautiously pushed the door open, then stuck his head out and looked around.
"Everything is safe, get out of here. He beckoned to Poker Face and Illya in the office.
The three of them quietly walked out of the office and went all the way to the depths of the factory.
Above their heads was the assembly line of the slaughterhouse, with many rusty iron hooks hanging from it, and it seems that the pigs that had been killed before were hung here, and then transported to the inside of the factory, where they were completely slaughtered.
Walking along this assembly line, they came to a workshop, and the clouds and mist in front of them were filled with heat.
Don't get closer, there is a boiler not far away, the boiler is steaming, and the water is stored in a tank about one meter deep and one meter wide along a long pipe, and the steam surging in the tank envelops the entire workshop.
"Gollum ......"
They didn't expect that this factory had been abandoned for half a year, and the boiler here was still running, and the water bubbles kept coming out of the sink, and the heat was blowing in their faces, and the temperature felt like it was 80 or 90 degrees.
"Looks like we can soak in the hot springs. Hai's son-in-law said.
"If you go down at this temperature, you will be familiar in a while, do you know what a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water?" Illya rolled her eyes.
Just as the two of them were arguing, the eyes of the living people looked ahead, and their expressions were silent, and Illya noticed that something was wrong, because when she looked ahead, she saw two ghouls squatting behind the heat.
"It's not good, let's go!"
She suddenly wanted to turn around and leave here, but she didn't expect that there were also two ghouls at the gate of the workshop, and these monsters surrounded them.
"We're in trouble. Hai's son-in-law whispered.
The living person didn't say a word, he had already pulled out the sword in the crutch, and his eyes were cold. Hai's son-in-law also took out a black shovel.
"Roar!"
In an instant, four ghouls attacked the three of them at the same time, one at the living, one at the son-in-law of the sea, one at Illya, and the last one was close behind.
Swish!
Poker Face reacted very quickly, like a refined knight, wielding the sword in his hand and cutting off one of the ghouls' hands with a single blow.
Swish!
Flutter!
Another sword, cutting a long wound in the ghoul's chest, and the final blow pierced the monster's throat directly!
Compared to the poker face, Hai's son-in-law looked much simpler and rougher, and he picked up the shovel and slapped it the ghoul's face, directly knocking the other party away.
The other two ghouls surrounded Illya, one left and one right, and she faced the two ghouls, her face unfazed, and she watched the ghouls' claws pounce on her.
The next moment, she held up the umbrella in her hand!
With a bang, the ghoul's claws slammed into the Night Raven umbrella in Illya's hand, and if it was an ordinary umbrella, it would have been torn apart in one fell swoop, but this umbrella was not trivial.
She only turned the handle of the umbrella slightly, and there was a black shadow whistling, it was a flying crow, its black feathers floating in the air, and the ghoul was struck by the crows, and kept retreating.
Hai's son-in-law looked at the shovel in his hand, and then at the umbrella in his hand that could release the phantom of the crow.
He had thought that this female detective's umbrella was a little strange before, and sure enough, he smelled it......
That is, the breath of money power!
