"The town to the southeast...... Repetition Raven, is this the town you are talking about? ”

Standing at the intersection, Lin Ling looked at the houses in front of him that were sitting together, turned his head to the crows next to him and asked.

He knew that with the other person's intellect, he would be able to understand it.

"This is it! This is it! Izumi Inoue immediately launched a search! Izumi Inoue immediately launched a search! The crow did not live up to Lin Ling's expectations, and replied while flapping its wings.

Lin Ling didn't care about it anymore, and directly stepped into the town.

This is obviously a relatively backward town, and there are not even telephone poles on either side of the street, and the residents here are afraid that they have to use candles or kerosene lamps for lighting at night.

Lin Ling walked around the town twice, and found that the atmosphere in this town was indeed very wrong, not to mention the sparse pedestrians on the road, and they all looked hurried. And many residents showed a vigilant look after seeing him as a foreigner, as if he was some kind of dirty thing.

And not only that-

"Click-"

The wooden door slammed shut, which made Lin Ling, who had just planned to put a trap on the people in the town and inquire about the recent situation, couldn't help but touch his nose.

He was already sure that whether or not there were really evil spirits in this town, it was almost certain that he would be full of malice towards outsiders.

But why?

Lin Ling couldn't help but think, and continued to wander around the town while thinking, but this time he was not wandering around, but looking for targets who could find out information - no matter how xenophobic a town was, there would always be some outliers.

What Lin Ling is looking for is such an outlier!

And don't say it, after consciously drilling into various alleys and dead ends, Lin Ling really found the outlier he was looking for - it was a hungry beggar.

"Purr-"

Looking at the little boy who was gobbling up in front of him, Lin Ling was very patient and waited for the other party to finish eating, and then handed over the kettle.

"I'm full, burp~Thank you~" The little boy patted his stomach and couldn't stop burping, although his face was dirty, his eyes were very bright.

"What do you want to ask me? Say, for this meal, I know the hiccup~ will tell you! ”

The little boy was clearly a man of understanding.

"Then you're welcome...... Can you tell me why your town is so xenophobic? Lin Ling asked with a kind smile.

"This one...... I don't really know......" The little boy scratched his head, obviously a little stumped by the question, "Actually, people didn't reject outsiders before...... I don't know why, everyone began to reject foreigners...... Well, I remember, Brother Qi said that outsiders are bad people......" Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, realized something and hurriedly waved his hand.

"Of course I didn't say you're a bad person! Don't get me wrong. ”

"It's okay......" Lin Ling waved his hand indifferently, but asked, "Who is Brother Aqi?" ”

"Brother Ah Qi is the doctor in the town, and if the people in our town are sick, they will go to him to see a doctor...... Brother Ah Qi is very good, even if the person who sees a doctor has no money, he will treat it...... I've been treated by him before. The little boy replied, looking at his expression, it was obvious that he admired the doctor he was talking about.

"Oh?" Lin Ling raised his eyebrows and continued to ask, "Then do you know why Brother Ah Qi said that outsiders are all bad people?" ”

"This ......," the little boy scratched his head in annoyance, "I really don't know...... Brother Ah Qi seems to have hated outsiders from the beginning...... But ......" the little boy seemed to think of something, but he didn't say it.

"But what's the matter? What do you think of? How could Lin Ling let go of such a clue and asked.

"Uh...... It's just, it's just that I've heard some rumors before, and I don't know if it's true or not......" The little boy said hesitantly, "I heard that it seems that some strangers came to the town before, and then did very excessive things......"

He hesitated for a long time before he said, "It seems to be ...... It seems that the girl is ...... Wasted ......" last few words, his voice was small.

"Oh?" Lin Ling's brows furrowed, and he didn't know what he thought, so he continued to ask, "Then do you know any other reasons?" ”

"Other...... I really don't know! The little boy shook his head like a rattle.

Seeing this, Lin Ling also knew that he couldn't ask anything in this regard, so he simply changed the topic, "Little ghost, has there been anything strange happening in your town recently?" Like a lot of people who died or something? ”

Hearing this, the little boy's face changed, he pursed his lips, and his face showed obvious fear, "Gone...... A lot of people have disappeared...... Every night someone disappears, and I don't know what's going on. It's scary......" His body trembled slightly.

Seeing this, Lin Ling raised his eyebrows, then reached out and patted the little boy's head, and said, "Don't be afraid, it's okay, I'm here to solve this matter!" ”

"Huh?" The little boy's emotions seemed to be calmed, and he looked at Lin Ling with some confusion, "You're here...... Solve this matter? ”

"yes, I'm here to solve this problem!" Lin Ling nodded, and said while retracting his hand, "So can you tell me what you know?" Do you know when it started when someone first disappeared? ”

"At first...... the little boy pursed his lips, as if thinking of something, and said, "Yes...... The Kawashima family. ”

"Kawashima?"

"Well, the Kawashima family was in the tavern business in the town, probably a month ago...... They disappeared suddenly, and the family of five was gone...... That's right! The little boy raised his voice and said, "By the way, I remembered!" The Kawashima family seems to have received guests that day...... When I went to their house that day to ask for food, I saw a man I had never seen before......"

His eyes suddenly widened, and he pointed to Lin Ling's clothes and said, "By the way, he is wearing clothes like you!" ”

"Huh?" Lin Ling couldn't help but look down at the team uniform on his body, and suddenly had a guess in his heart, and asked, "Then before the Kawashima family disappeared, was there anyone else missing in the town?" ”

"This ...... Not at all! The little boy shook his head after a moment of recollection, "But there are often people who go to work outside and never come back...... They abandoned this place......"

"Are you so xenophobic that you still have people who go out to work?" Lin Ling was surprised.

"There used to be...... It wasn't so xenophobic in ......the past," replied the boy, "but few people have been out in the last year...... I remember it so. ”

"Oh......" Lin Ling sighed and said, "Can you take me to the Ah Qi brother you said?" ”
