Chapter Seventy-Seven: Tracking
After listening to Lota's tone, Danielle narrowed her eyes and looked at her inquiringly.
"Do you know anything?"
"Meow?"
Of course Lotta was playing dumb.
But Dinier still seemed to feel something, staring at Lotta with burning eyes, as if the contract was this thing, conveying Lotta's feelings of emptiness? Or rather, this Nizi perceives Octavia?
After making eye contact with Dinelle, she gave up the question.
"Don't run around at night."
"Got it."
Although Lotta said this, he was not happy in his heart. Because it was clear that someone had killed someone, but people misunderstood and put the blame on him. Believe that the Guardian Beast Hunter and the Killer are the same person.
In the evening he decided to check it out.
In the dead of night, he emerged from Dinelle's arms and placed Nadona in place.
Quietly and immediately went to Denier's house.
The streets are already completely blocked, and no one is allowed to move around after 9 o'clock. The guards came and went, but they were rarely busy. They weaved through the streets, searching every sewer.
Lotta hid in the shadows of the building, observing the men.
Following the movement of the soldiers, he soon discovered the central point of their search.
They spread from a point.
With the help of the Shadow Cloak, these ordinary soldiers couldn't detect him at all, and he could come and go freely.
Entering the sewers, he saw Jonathan, the captain of the guard.
Following the mask-wearing staff, he soon found a large patch of dried blood. The scene was fenced off and guarded. The guards are still searching around here. They found some strange marks on the walls, on the floor, in the corners, and marked them with things.
This also made it convenient for Lotta, who walked over to take a look.
On the floor and on the wall were marks of claws, the marks were very thick, and the owners of the obvious marks had large, sharp claws. At the mouth of the sewer hole, there are also traces of friction by many people, and it seems that there are friction marks left by something that has been drilled in.
At this time, a staff member also took something wrapped in a white cloth and came to Captain Jonathan.
"Captain, we found these things at the sewer outlet."
Jonathan turned white and frowned.
Lotta climbed high and pulled what was on the white cloth, two pure black hairs.
The hair is thick and hard, and at first glance it looks like it has fallen from some large beast.
"Take out what you have collected and take a look."
A staff member had another white cloth wrapped in something on the ground, and when it was opened, there were also a few hairs inside.
Well...
That's Lotta's hair.
"When did I lose my hair?"
He scratched his chin, but he didn't care, such evidence is probably enough to prove that the two have nothing to do with each other.
Jonathan also chatted with his men.
"There's a big gap between the two."
"But it cannot be ruled out that it is a unified creature, and the other party may have evolved after being overdevoured."
"Well, it does. The timing of these two disappearances is too coincidental. The other party may not be able to find a suitable guardian beast to devour, and decides to attack people. But it is not excluded that the other party is artificial. ”
Lotta listened to it and scolded these people for being brainless.
His hair was shiny and delicate, and the elemental fur still had a faint seven-colored streamer. And how can it be the same breed that is black and hairy. Besides, the other party's modus operandi is really terrible. The blood was splattered everywhere.
But he's different.
He will either eat it alive or only dig up the demon core.
There is no trace left.
"It's not about that world, the police are always unreliable."
Just as he sighed, he led a few dogs and a few small soldiers, walked out of the drain, and came back with a disgraced face.
"Report to the captain, the clue was tracked out of the city, and then the smell was interrupted, and the demon dog could not be tracked."
"Well, let's go down."
A few minions had just retreated, and someone came at the entrance again.
"Report to the captain! Discover the scene of the murder of what is suspected to be the first victim! ”
Jonathan and his men looked at each other and waved their hands.
"Let's go!"
In the shadows, Lotta summoned Sparta directly and ordered him to follow the men. He looked at the demon dogs. Those dogs were first-order demonic beasts that had been trained to serve in the guards. Maybe humans can't feel it, but under Lota Mingke's sense, she feels the fear that these dogs emanate.
All the dogs had tails between them, but none of them barked.
There is also no sense of life, some wooden flutes.
To sum up.
Well, scared silly.
In other words, when these dogs were tracking just now, it was very likely that they had already encountered something.
The murderer?
Lotta's eyes narrowed.
Let Sparta follow Jonathan while he prepares to get into the passage where the demon dog is tracking.
But before that, he took advantage of people's inattention, stretched out his tentacles, and stole the white cloth that wrapped the hair. The staff member who was storing the evidence didn't notice it when he closed the box. The hair in the white cloth was gone.
Holding the hair, Lotta leaned under her nose and sniffed.
"This stink...... It's a demon...... Other seals have also loosened, and what has been sealed has also escaped? ”
After coming into contact with the demons several times, Lotta is also very sensitive to their smells.
Just ask about the smell.
He gathered his bristles and burrowed into the drain where the demon dog was tracking. Along the stinking moss-covered sewers, we made our way. At the same time, he unfolded the map to record his location.
According to the situation of the crypt spider before, the other three demons are also willing to be released. The unleashed demons lurk in the human town, secretly killing people or something.
The possibility is very large.
If that's the case, he has to find the other party quickly and kill and devour the opponent while they are weak. Otherwise, when the other party recovers, if you want to kill the other party, I'm afraid it will be difficult.
Follow the sewers.
After encountering the fork in the road, he chose some forks in the road.
Because it will lead directly to the outside of the city, the other party will build a nest here, and they must choose a convenient place to enter and retreat.
He kept sniffing the air for the scent.
Trying to capture the unique smell of the demons, he finally smelled the stench at a big interjection. It came from a narrow drain. He took a deep breath and activated the Shadow Form, turning into a distorted shadow and floating down the pipe.
After following the pipe for a while, a crack appeared next to the wall.
The smell comes from within.
Lotta hesitated, applied a double shadow skill to herself, and slowly burrowed into the cracks in the broken walls. Through the side slit that was the width of a person, an underground space entered his eyes. It's just that here it's empty, and there's a nest of fur and rags.
A lot of thirsty blood could be seen on the ground, as well as scattered black hairs.
This is undoubtedly the other party's lair.
