Chapter 55: The Hidden Man
The houses built in the mountains, far apart, were originally relatively quiet.
What's more, it has been occupied by pirates, which makes the silence a little deeper.
Fang Chengzuo skillfully lurked in, but his movements were a little rough, except for covering his body, he did not deliberately control his light steps, but this rude movement did not make any sound during the period.
It is the ability to use the ability to make the sound vibration not spread.
Covering up your body and voice is enough for ordinary enemies, if the enemy has the domineering ability to see and hear, no matter how much you hide your voice and body shape, it will be useless, so why bother to control your movements.
Leaning against the wall, listening intently, searching the room from room to room.
After searching all the houses, but no one was found, he returned to the forest and told Ain and Binz about the situation.
"Or just an empty village."
"No, I found bread and unfinished flour in a house."
Fang Xing took out the items from the room from behind him, pointed to the most favorable evidence, and said, "If it is an empty village that is uninhabited, the bread should have already become moldy, and the cleanliness of the house is not as clean as it is uninhabited. ”
Aine said: "So the other party discovered our traces and hid them in advance?" ”
Such a statement can explain these phenomena.
Binz followed: "It's possible, when Teacher Zefa detours, the other party should have found out." ”
"It's possible that you're talking about, but I personally think it's not the pirates who live here, it's the people who live here." Fang Xing replied.
Ain was skeptical of this statement and immediately raised his own questions.
"Why is there this conclusion, this is not an attack, normally the pirates will not let the residents go."
Binz also expressed his opinion, "With the temperament of pirates, it is possible to occupy the town, but the village is generally slaughtered is their best choice." ”
The vast majority of pirates in some large towns plunder wealth at best, and rarely commit massacres, because such things are very bad, and they will be vigorously hunted down by the navy, and may be resisted.
But in smaller villages, slaughter was often used to plunder wealth, as it was faster and more convenient.
"I think it's easy for the local people to hide in the mountains, not to mention that you think the pirates will be kind enough to help dispose of the corpses?"
Ain and Binz were mentioned by Fang Xing, and then they remembered that there was no stench of decomposing corpses in the village.
If you use the character of a pirate, at most you will pile the corpse aside, and you will not bury it or do anything else, because the pirate is a person who has no fixed place to live, and he will leave after occupying the island and plundering the wealth, so he will not care too much.
Fang Xing dragged his chin slightly with his hand, frowning and thinking, "But if the pirates are not in this place, where will they be?" ”
It is reminiscent of the scene of looking inside the island from the outside of the island.
Beach piers, forests, villages, rock walls, and other places that cannot be seen on the exterior, if the pirates are no longer in the village, then the first three places can be ruled out in the first place.
Because the villagers would not come out to sort out the corpses and prepare food when the pirates were inhabited, it was undoubtedly to tell the pirates that they were still alive.
The rock wall is a place to live from a distance, but it may also hide another mystery, and other places need to be checked step by step to understand.
Ain proposed, "Let's find out who lives in the village first." ”
Rather than investigating where the pirates are, the first thing is to find out who the people in this village are.
Fang Xing and Binz nodded.
Fang Xing immediately thought about the plan in his mind, and in a short time, he came up with a method and gave a command.
"Ain, you go and search the surrounding environment to see if there is a hidden location, don't stay too far away, try to be within the range that you can support, if you find a trace, don't risk trespassing, retreat first."
In any case, it is essential to understand the surrounding situation first.
After arranging Ain's mission, he turned to Binz and said, "You follow Ain and use plants to build a protective net around the perimeter." ”
Binz's plants can be controlled after they have grown, allowing them to remain tough and withering, and they can be used to form a tough protective web by forming a web of tenacious plants and intertwining them to form a spider web.
If the pirates are really hiding in or near the village, then the protective net can stop them inside, and once it is a strong enemy, the protective net can also play a role in resisting.
In short, beneficial and harmless.
After the two of them acted, Fang Xing also started his own actions.
Compared to the outside, Fang Xing believed that people were hiding underground, and this guess stemmed from his magnetic field that he didn't sense.
The human body has a weak magnetic field, as long as the magnetic field exists, there must be energy, and this energy can be detected by Fang Xing.
However, it can only be used in the four seas where the magnetic field is stable, and if it is in the great route, the magnetic field alone is tiring, not to mention that the weak human magnetic field must be distinguished from it, maybe it will be possible after the computing power is improved.
Without much thought, he leaned his hand on the ground, and his brain used his computing power to probe down for the existence of the magnetic field
The limit of his current computing power is about 20 meters, and if he extends it vertically, it can be increased to about 30 meters. Of course, there is also the possibility of hiding too deep in the ground and making mistakes, but everything must be said after the investigation is completed.
The first place to explore was the room where the food was found, and nothing was found, but Fang Xing did not give up, but began to investigate one by one, including the ground along the way.
With unremitting efforts, sure enough, in a slightly sunken ground halfway up the mountainside, traces were found.
"It's hidden." Fang Xing felt slightly.
The location found was about eleven or twelve meters below, and normal people could not sense the situation below. Not to mention the rough and steep roads caused by the slightly sunken ground, coupled with the mountainside, few people risk the danger to explore this place.
Instead of startling the snakes, he waited for Binz to set up a protective net, and it was not yet possible to know whether the people below were pirates or villagers, and everything would be said when they were ready.
Informed Ain and Binz of the situation, and motioned for them to stand on guard.
After the two of them dodged, Fang Xing stood in place and said a word below.
"Those who are hiding below, come out on their own."
The voice is not loud, but he uses his ability to manipulate the direction, allowing the sound to pass through the obstruction of the underground and clearly convey his words below.
After a while, there was a noise from the next house.
