Chapter Eighty-Three: Human or Strange?
"Ah...... Yes! â
Tang Xin and Wen Er were exploring in the forest, gradually approaching the center of the island, and at this moment, a heart-rending scream suddenly came, which was full of anger and startled countless birds and birds in the forest.
"It seems to be a human voice?" Tang Xin looked around, trying to determine the direction, but in the dense forest surrounded by tall trees, it was difficult to determine the direction of the sound.
"Sounds a little bloody." Wen Er nodded, his voice was a little flustered and frightened, as if something terrible had happened.
The silence in the woods was restored, but Tang Xin faintly felt that the sky seemed to be much darker than before, not only the darkness of walking among the towering trees, but the air around him seemed to have become gray and thick. The forest was overgrown with trees, and if you weren't careful, you would get caught in a branch or trip over a vine, so the two of them walked very slowly.
Tang Xin raised his eyebrows, the scene in front of him seemed to be a bit of a horror movie.
Desert island, jungle, screaming, two strayed walkers...... Then there's a bunch of ghosts and a bloody thriller, full of ugly desires and intrigue, and that's it.
"Whoosh!" Suddenly, something seemed to flicker behind the two of them.
Tang Xin immediately turned his head, but as usual, there seemed to be nothing special.
"Did we just come from here?" Tang Xin frowned sensitively, behind them, patches of grass and trees were tangled together, the ground was covered with withered and rotten fallen leaves, and there was no trace of anyone walking, she remembered that they came all the way, at least sometimes there were some natural paths, and they also used mountain knives to open up a path.
"The plants here seem to grow very fast and have a very strong ability to recover." Wen Ergongzi pulled a branch and broke it off, spread it on his hand, and saw that the branch suddenly secreted green thick mucus, which was connected at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after less than two minutes, it had already left the tree.
The branches that would theoretically no longer be connected were actually connected, and it looked like the place where they were connected was a little green, but Tang Xin stretched out his hand to break it, and he could find that the two broken branches had indeed been connected, and they were still wrapping the new parts layer by layer with the green mucus that was rapidly secreting, and the place gradually became stronger.
"Have you noticed that after walking for so long, there are no insects, this is a jungle, and there don't seem to be any animals."
"There are birds." Wen Er replied that after the man's scream just now, there was indeed the sound of birds fluttering.
"Looks like this island is a little weird!" Tang Xin threw away the branch and pointed out this obvious thing.
The two of them continued to walk forward, but they both secretly raised their vigilance, this is an unexplored desert island, and the information they knew before was that the pirate king Hodge had stayed on this island for a while, and it was suspected that he had hidden the treasure accumulated over the years on this island, and there was also a decent treasure map.
This treasure map is in the hands of Anna, the proprietress of a seaside town, also known as Antarina, who was once a famous figure in the continent, who followed Captain Hodge to the north and south to make a name for himself, and is now a member of the downline of the mysterious organization Brotherhood. Another related person is the tower keeper of the Tower of Flame, Adi-Esilor, this ordinary looking old man, and Anna, Hodge and Tang Xin's long-time friendship with the engineering teacher Kalu, the four of them have been friends for many years, and Adi is also related to the imperial guard, looking quite like a hermit master who has returned to the countryside.
The mission begins with the search for the Don Guy brothers, who were tricked by Anna into going out to sea to find treasure and Captain Hodge, but were shipwrecked on the way, maliciously turned into pirates, and are currently captured by Don Xin and are helping on the Dolphin.
After their previous development of related missions, it is known that Captain Hodge has sabotaged the Brotherhood's arrangement in the Northlands and is being hunted down by the Brotherhood.
In the exploration of the Death Trail and the ghost castle of Tomato Scrambled Eggs, it is possible to know that the Brotherhood's detention of Karui is an extremely confidential but will cause a sensation on the continent when completed, and in addition, Karui's teacher Cullen Stark, now Stephen Lecca, has long been a god-level engineering master, and he and his wife seem to play some unusual role in it.
Another piece of information is the murder of the Orange Lighthouse, where the epic hero Andrew's daughter Catherine, killed her husband, son, and daughter in a row, and then committed suicide......
This matter is also related to a mysterious organization, but it is not certain whether it is a brotherhood, it is certain that the high-level of the Lionheart Empire must be related to the mission, because after solving the murder case, the task triggered is "The Shadow of the Lionheart Empire", which means that Andrew, who died on the battlefield back then, and the prime minister of the empire, the king of the Lionheart Empire, was the third prince of the empire back then, and the eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince today...... There must be some little-known secrets between them, and the relationship between the characters is like an intricate mess, after all, this is an epic mission that can affect the rise and fall of the country!
Tang Xin sorted out the clues that are known now, and sorted out her thoughts a little, this whole task has been going on since she first entered the game, like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger, but so far there is no confirmation of the level of the task, and there is no hint of the task reward, which is undoubtedly a bit of a distraction for players who have invested so much, but Tang Xin dares to bet that this is not a high-level hidden epic task chain...... She's just, she's just, woo...... She's going to cry to you!
"Ah...... Yes! Another scream, which seemed to be much closer than the one just now.
At this moment, Tang Xin suddenly found something in the woods flashing out of the corner of his eye, and drilled into the jungle at a very fast speed, this thing kept shuttling through the trees, and soon disappeared in Tang Xin's eyes.
"Did you see that? See? What is that? Tang Xin hurriedly pulled Wen Er Gongzi and asked.
"See, on all fours, it looks like an animal." Wen Er nodded.
"It's pretty big, but it's pretty fast, cheetah? Tiger ......," Tang Xin guessed.
"Not necessarily, let's go see it first." Wen Er can't say for sure, and where can the monsters in the game be speculated according to the impression of reality, even if it's a slow turtle, the game planning allows it to fly and run, faster than a rabbit, you can't say it's illogical, it's not scientific, isn't it?
Pushing aside the bushes, Tang Xin and the others saw a bloody scene, if this was a more timid girl, she would definitely be scared and faint by now.
This barren open space is like a mass grave, full of white bones, and there are some unrotten torso on the white bones, minced meat, hands, feet, etc., all of them are fragmented, none of them are complete, like a pork hypermarket that doesn't want money, and all kinds of parts are thrown everywhere, and it is impossible to see what the original appearance is, but according to the shape of those bones and the texture of the undecayed skin, it can be vaguely judged that it is a human, at least the body of a humanoid creature.
The clearing without any weeds, the color is not the color of the earth, but a slightly scarlet gray-brown, and the clearing is covered with blood, it really looks like a crazy slaughterhouse, these blood are dark and light, the old ones have dried up for a long time, and the clotted blood clots stick to the grass, while the new ones are still bright and bright, and it seems that they have just been exposed to the air for a short time.
"Wow, this corpse dismemberment technique is too bad! You see, it's lost in the east and west, and the incision is still frizzy, how can you see this? Tang Xin grinned, pointed to the broken corpse on the ground with a very academic eye, and complained.
"He must have made the scream just now." Wen Ergongzi pointed to a corpse that had also been dismembered, but the limbs were in a small area, and it looked very new, and it was not thrown everywhere like the other corpses.
"Then this speed is really fast enough, to kill it in one hit, and then break the corpse in such a short time, although the cut is frizzy, not like a sharp weapon, but like the teeth of a beast, but from the screams we heard, it should not take more than two minutes to walk over." Tang Xin was a little surprised.
Second Prince Wen took out a small wooden box from his backpack, the size was a bit like a makeup box, and when he opened it, there were strange tools in it that Tang Xin couldn't recognize at all. I saw Wen Er put on a translucent glove, skillfully use those tools, and began to perform an autopsy.
"Wow, are these really things in the game? Or do you order it yourself? "This is really the world's biggest, Tang Xin has been mixed in the simulation world for many years, and I really haven't seen or heard of someone performing an autopsy to find this kind of process, although there are also some strange professions like necromancers and corpse chasers who have to deal with corpses, but forensic doctors are such a profession, Tang Xin doesn't think that there will be zĂ i in terms of the background of the game.
This has nothing to do with the development of science and technology, goblins' floating ships, mechanical fortresses...... It's all unimaginable technology, but the profession of forensic medicine doesn't have much value in this era, because first of all, this is an era when personal life is like a mustard, and countless people will die mysteriously every day, and if they die, who cares?
And this is a world of gods and magical powers, if there are important people, nobles...... If such a person dies, then the Holy See will send a priest to perform evil detection spells, and the Imperial Guard will also let the serving Imperial mages use time to rewind time to find the real culprit.
"It's my profession in life, called a scientist." Wen Er replied honestly.
"Uh-oh." Tang Xin has no impression, this is also normal, there are thousands of occupations in the game, and life occupations are also strange, Tang Xin is not a professional life professional, she just knows more about engineering, and the others are half-understood.
Wen Twenty expertly cut off a small piece of skin from the corpse, and then threw it into a glass test tube filled with blue liquid, only to see that the small piece of skin quickly dissolved into the solution. Immediately afterwards, he took a few more cotton swabs, stained some tissue on the incision of the corpse, and threw them into a green test tube, and the green solution in the test tube quickly turned red.
"How? See what? Tang Xin asked inexplicably.
"Doesn't it seem like that's a beast?" Wen Er's voice was also a little puzzled.
"What is not a beast? Running like that ghost and gnawing on corpses, could it be a human? Tang Xin complained.
"It looks like a human." R1152
