Chapter 400: Returning to the City
Not to mention, Xia Wei's fierce appearance is really quite bluffing, the thin man was really startled for a while, and finally he really stopped screaming, but looked at Xia Wei a little blankly.
Seeing this, Xia Wei couldn't help but snort proudly.
"I ask you, what happened in the city this time? Why are the people on the street so uneasy? Don't seem to be in good spirits? ”
One by one, they all looked panicked, and they hid in the house very carefully.
It's like there's some terrible monster out there.
"This ......"
"When I asked you, you said, what are you doing like this?" Seeing the lean man struggling, Xia Wei couldn't help but say angrily, very polite.
A big man, talking so mother-in-law!
And when Xia Wei was talking, Xiao Changye and the others on the side were also very cooperative and made a fierce appearance!
The lean man was frightened for a moment, and then he swallowed his saliva and said tremblingly, "Yes...... It's because a terrible youkai has appeared in the city! ”
"Youkai?"
Xia Wei and the others' faces suddenly became a little strange.
"What do you mean? Can you be clearer? Xia Wei frowned, "What monster?" What happened? ”
Don't be so vague.
Seeing this, the lean man couldn't help but tremble and began to talk about the strange things that had happened in the city these days.
Actually, it hasn't been too long, but it just started to happen three days ago.
“…… Yes, there were youkai three days ago, and many people were taken captive in the city, both day and night! The lean man said with a frightened look on his face, looking very frightened, "Whether it is a man, a woman, or a child, they have all been taken captive!" ”
Xia Wei couldn't help but blink her eyes: "Abducted? What are you doing kidnapping? ”
“…… I don't know about this. It is said that they were all eaten! The lean man said in fear, "Someone saw blood in the alley!" It was the blood of those who had been eaten! ”
As he spoke, the lean man began to tremble, looking very frightened.
"Bloodstains?"
Hearing this, Xia Wei and the others' faces couldn't help but become a little ugly.
"Are you sure it's the blood stains from those people who were eaten?" Xia Wei's brows furrowed, "Could it be a mistake?" Or were those people injured but not dead? ”
Why is it so arbitrary that you feel that you are being eaten?
"It's really eaten!"
Seeing that Xia Wei still didn't believe it, the thin man couldn't help but dance with his hands, looking very serious.
"There are severed hands and feet, and the wounds are all torn, so it's not a monster eating people, so what can it be?" The lean man said with a scared hug on his face.
Broken hands and feet?
Hearing this, Xia Wei and the others realized that this was not a joke.
"That'...... Did the lord of the city who returned to the city do anything? Is the government doing anything? Xiao Changye, who was next to him, frowned and asked.
The thin man was a little teary-eyed, and when he heard Xiao Changye's words, he choked up and said, "Naturally, there is...... But what's the use? ”
"That's the monster's doing, and it can't be stopped by manpower, even if there are people from the government and the city lord who come here to patrol and protect the people, what's the use?"
The lean man's eyes were full of tears.
"Damn people are still dead people, and they can't be stopped at all!"
These words actually revealed his deep despair.
Hearing this person's words, Xia Wei and the others were also a little silent for a while.
The last group of people questioned him again, asked him a little more about the city, and let him go.
"What do you think about this?" Xia Wei opened her mouth and asked, "Don't say anything else, anyway, I don't believe what the monster said!" ”
What kind of monster, don't you know that you are not allowed to become a spirit after the founding of the country?
In Xia Wei's opinion, this is mostly a beast or a man-made.
"I think so, too. I'm afraid it was done by someone with a heart behind it. Xiao Changye said, "Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that something like this suddenly happened?" ”
It's a beast, and there is no forest around the city this time, so how can there be any beasts eating people inexplicably?
"This thing is weird, I heard the man say that after the broken hands and feet, there were originally people from the government who wanted to take it away and ask him for inspection, but when the people from the government arrived, there was only a pool of blood left in the alley...... "Xiao Ruhang next to him also frowned slightly and said.
This severed hand and foot can't fly, can't run, how can it disappear out of thin air?
But the weird thing is that it is clearly for people to see, but it will not be taken away, as if it is deliberately to be discovered.
"It's really weird." Situ Lin next to him nodded, "But for some reason, I always feel that those who were taken away are not dead." ”
Maybe it's intuition, or maybe it's because of the weirdness of this thing.
After all, listening to what the lean man said, now there are only severed hands and feet, but no one has ever found a corpse.
"That's right, based on the current clues alone, it is not possible to tell that those who were taken away have been killed!" Xia Wei nodded in agreement, "Maybe they are still alive, and we still have a chance to rescue them!" "Latest
"What do you mean, are you going to stay and save people?" Xiao Ruhang next to him looked at Xia Wei.
"At least don't leave like that." Xia Wei also looked at Xiao Ruhang, "Now that the official mansion and the city lord who have returned to the city have no clue for the time being, why do we have to stay and help a little bit?" ”
Although they all felt that those who were taken away were not dead, they were not afraid of 10,000 just in case!
Now, in just three days back in the city, hundreds of people have disappeared!
That's not a small amount!
What's more, it's only been three days, and if it is allowed to develop, who knows how many people will disappear?
In particular, there were blood stains and severed hands, and there was weirdness everywhere in this matter, and they couldn't ignore it.
Even if Xiao Changye didn't want to care about the affairs of this world, he still couldn't leave like this when he heard such a large amount.
As for Situ Lin, it is even more impossible to ignore it.
The minority obeys the majority, not to mention that this matter is indeed not simple, so the group planned to stay in the city for a few more days for the time being, and it would be better to solve the matter first.
Since you decided to stay, you naturally have to find an inn to live in.
However, it is really not easy to find an inn nowadays, and several of them are closed!
But it's no wonder that people are going to be kidnapped, after all, who is not frightened when they return to the city and are taken away by so many people?
As for the people who came, most of them are still in the Moon Setting Mountain Villa to talk about the scriptures, and very few people have left.
This is also normal, although the martial arts club has always been only seven days, but such a grand ceremony is naturally not enough for just seven days.
As a result, many martial arts people stayed for several days before leaving.
Only when the martial arts will be able to gather so many people in the rivers and lakes together.
In the end, Xia Wei and the others went around in a big circle, and returned to the inn where they stayed seven days ago, and paid a few taels of silver more, so they stayed.
"It's a big deal, it's so troublesome to find a place to live."
After moving in, Xia Wei complained a little dissatisfied.
And it's so much more expensive!
Why didn't the shopkeeper go and grab the money?
Xia Wei's heart was a little unhappy.
"Okay Vivi, don't complain more, it's good to have a place to live." Xiao Nagano, who was next to him, said with relief.
Because the two of them have reconciled, they live in one room at this time.
As for Xiao Ruhang and Situ Lin, the two of them live in the same room.
"Now that we're settled, where should we start investigating?"
After the four of them were settled, the four of them gathered together and began to discuss.
Hearing Xiao Ruhang's words, the four of them couldn't help but ponder.
"Why don't we go and take a look in the alley that the lean man said?" Xia Wei thought for a while and then said, "Now there are no more severed hands and feet in the alley, but there should still be some traces and clues to be found." ”
"I think we can go to that place first." Situ Lin nodded and agreed.
"Okay, then we'll go to the alley in a moment." Xiao Changye nodded, agreeing with this point of view, "After that...... Maybe we can find someone else for some more information. ”
For example, the families of those who have been abducted can inquire about the specific situation.
There has been such a big commotion, it is impossible that there is no wind at all.
Even if you are not alert on the first day, you can still be alert on the second day and the third day?
But even so, in the past three days, hundreds of people have been taken captive......
It's not easy!
"I think so, maybe we can split up!" Xia Wei nodded and suggested.
Xiao Ruhang next to him also had a pair of eyes: "It's okay to divide the soldiers into two ways, you and Brother Situ are on a team, and I am on a team with Brother Situ." ”
Anyway, there are four of them, and if they really can't do it, it's not impossible to divide into three ways!
However, for the sake of insurance, it is better to divide the soldiers into two ways.
After all, Xiao Ruhang's martial arts are not extremely high, and the group of people who appeared in the city are really elusive, so Xiao Ruhang is safer to follow Situ Lin.
After deciding, the four of them went to check on each of them.
Xia Wei and Xiao Changye went to the alley to investigate, while Xiao Changye and Situ Lin went to the families of the victims to find out the news.
Because the latter takes a lot of effort, the four of them decided to wait until Xia Wei and Xiao Changye finished exploring the alley, and then they would also go to find out the news.
Two hours later, the people gathered again in the inn.
If things really make too much trouble in the end, Xia Wei and the others decided to go to the local government and city lord.
If they can't solve it, it's better not to delay it too long, and solve this matter together.
After all, the whereabouts of the abducted people are unknown, their lives and deaths are uncertain, and they can't joke with human lives!
