Chapter 8 Clues

042 gasped violently, the corpse had fallen down, but looking at the similar but different faces, an inexplicable feeling choked his throat, and a trembling mist came from all directions, and with 042's breathing, it was paralyzing and infecting his nerves.

"Something is wrong...... It's not right. ”

Looking at his teammates behind him, their faces had the same look of horror, and the inexplicable feeling became more and more intense at this moment, like a heavy hammer, constantly hitting the hearts of the three people, and as time passed, the beating became heavier and heavier.

042 slowly raised his hand and covered his cheek, obviously it was just a simple slash, but after killing this guy, he became more tired, his heart beat hard, but the blood was like coagulated in the blood vessels, and it couldn't flow and freeze if it was agitated hard.

"There is no feeling of erosion, but it is like erosion ......"

011 said slowly, he also noticed the amplifying negativity, and his thoughts were being suppressed and distorted a little bit.

"Nothing out of the ordinary...... Rather, it's the biggest anomaly. ”

042 looked at the almost condensed mist, something was disturbing them, but they didn't know what it was.

"Hallucinations?"

016 proposed.

"Impossible, group hallucinations, you should be aware of it. 042 turned back to 016.

"So what went wrong?" 011 said.

042 didn't reply, he endured the tumbling thread in his heart, and maintained his sanity with the perseverance of the witcher.

He leaned down and vigilantly peeled away the strange corpse.

He ...... It's human. ”

Wiping the blood from his face with his hands, 042 was surprised to find that the features on these facial features were deliberately processed in the later stage, and of course, some of them may be related to the strangeness of this valley.

As the symbols were wiped away, the strange feeling in his heart gradually subsided, and 042 analyzed it intently.

"I seem to have a clue. ”

042 said slowly.

"It's these symbols. ”

016 cast a puzzled look, 011 didn't look this way, he intermittently activated Shang Da Feng to ensure that no monsters would suddenly come out of the fog and hit everyone with their hands.

This strange thing seems to have been glimpsed into some truth, Lorenzo said slowly to the audience.

"Do you know the pressure of cognition? You who are fighting demons should have been exposed to some of this. ”

"That kind of information reception?" replied Joey, who apparently understood Lorenzo's words.

"The brain receives an overdose of information in a short period of time, resulting in self-protection measures, but again, cognition can be distorted. ”

"You mean the power of demons?" asked Joey.

Lorenzo shook his head, "No, this kind of thing is not necessarily related to demons, just like psychological suggestion, for example, you are afraid of fire, in some stressful environments, the sudden appearance of flames will exacerbate your psychological pressure, resulting in fear." ”

"In the same way, there are things that can also guide your cognition, which is the key to the entire uncanny valley mission. ”

Lorenzo looked at the witchers who had stepped into the mist.

"Those symbols seem to be some kind of strange alchemical symbols, which can cause cognitive pressure and fear to the observer, just like the erosion of demons, but you have nowhere to escape the erosion of demons, and that kind of symbol is fine as long as you don't look at it.

At that time, I also thought about it for a long time before I came to this conclusion, after all, witchers are fearless, and the biggest difference between us and ordinary people is that we can maintain absolute sanity in extremely bad situations, which is the key to fighting fear. ”

042 frowned as he walked forward, relieved as he realized that the eerie fear was coming from the symbol.

Many times the unknown is a big factor in fear, but now the unknown is no longer unknown.

Despite this, the entire valley town is still in a fog of clouds, and 042 needs to find out what is going on here.

The three-man team did not know how long they had been advancing, but they had not encountered any enemies along the way, and it seemed that the inhabitants of the area had been unable to distinguish their orientation due to the fog...... Or maybe they're all gathered somewhere at the moment, ready for the final sacrifice.

"How do you feel now?"

042 inquired, 042 needed to know about the cognitive pressure of the team members.

"It's getting heavier, and it looks like there's something really disturbing us...... Not erosion. ”

016 replied that she was extremely sensitive to such mental senses.

042 nodded, and then the black silhouette revealed in the mist, it was a large building, but there was no light source in it, and when it got closer, 042 realized that the door here was open, and it was pitch black inside, and there was a breeze gushing out of the darkness, with a strong smell of blood, as if the end of this darkness led to a terrifying hell.

"Do you want to go in?" 016 asked.

042 said directly, "I'm going ahead, 011 remembers the warning." ”

011 nodded to 042, and a blazing white light was released from his pupils, and the power of Shang Dafeng sheltered the witchers.

The Witcher has encountered many powerful enemies, but those enemies are real objects to follow, and this time the Uncanny Valley mission is different, the strange enemies have been hiding in the dark, peering at each one, spreading fear until the Witcher can no longer bear it.

042 couldn't wait, and he didn't have time to wait, and under the protection of his armor, he strode straight into the darkness.

Inside, there was darkness, and the three witchers looked around vigilantly, only the burning pupils emitted light in the darkness.

The secret blood has been activated, and with its amplification, the witcher can clearly observe things in the dark, although the visual distance is shorter, but it is already a huge advantage in the dark, not to mention the early warning of 011.

Dust covered every corner, huge paintings hung from the walls, and after the entrance hall, there were spiral staircases on either side leading to the top floor.

042 breathed slowly, the air filled with dust particles, which made his breathing uncomfortable.

Following the smell of blood, the witchers marched, their feet babbling on the rotting floor.

After pushing open the wooden door in the darkness, the heavy blood qi was completely liberated and gushed out.

With the witcher's eyesight, 042 saw what they were looking for in the space behind the door.

There was a fire in the world behind the door, like a cruel slaughter, and countless iron hooks hung upside down in the houses, and on each hook hung a dead corpse, they were hung with their heads down, the blood had been drained, and the whole body seemed to be a little withered.

Dried blood solidified on the ground, and the air throughout the house was disgustingly foul.

042 held out his hand and booed, there were others in the house.

The man seemed to have lost all his strength, and though he was only groaning faintly in pain, he was also hanging upside down on the iron hook, and around him, there were the same guys that 042 had encountered earlier, their faces marked with strange symbols, and they were swinging their blades to cut through the other barb...... Or a corpse.

They didn't seem to notice the Demon Hunters' arrival, so in the darkness the Demon Hunters attacked at the same time.

In the darkness, a white nail sword stabbed out, and the witcher's terrifying body was displayed at this moment, and almost at the same time as he was discovered, 042 quickly stepped forward and stabbed the nail sword into the man's throat, and he was killed before he could even make a sound.

With a strong force, he lifted the blade of the sword and directly tore most of the blood, and the man next to him reacted enough to try to fight back, but there was a slight but sharp sound in the darkness.

The bolts cut through the darkness and struck the man in the head as they traveled through the intricate hooks, and more than one, several of them galloped in front of them, assassinating 042 as they engaged them in close combat.

The battle was over from the moment it began, 042 putting away his spiked sword, the men's corpses lying across the bloodstained floor, and he tried not to look at their faces as much as possible, lest the strange symbols add to his pressure.

011 Emerges from the darkness, and Shang Dafeng foresees a short future.

"Safe. ”

He said.

After confirming the stability of the scene, 042 turned his gaze to the other man on the iron hook, and he put the dying creature down, he was skeletal and lacked the eerie symbols, and he looked like someone to talk to.

"So...... What's going on with all this?"

042 asked, looking at the man who was gradually catching his breath.
