25. Demons

On the main thoroughfare, they saw several corpses along the way, and it seemed that they were all subordinates of "Daddy".

These usually violent and bloodthirsty thugs are now dead people with no one to collect their bodies.

Half a day later, the convoy approached the town below the mountain, and Joyna saw people, still dead.

Several corpses, lying in the wilderness.

It was a nearby sentry, and the spies' camp had almost burned to the ground, and smoke was billowing everywhere.

Near the camp, the slaughtered people lay everywhere.

Those people died in a tragic state, with broken arms and legs, dirt and dirt all over the ground, and the water even gathered together to form small pools.

The unpleasant smell of blood, which can be smelled from afar, is like a slaughterhouse, disgusting.

There were also weapons scattered on the ground, and there were several dead people, and the corpses were lying on the ground in horror.

When the car drove closer, it alarmed a flock of crows, and it flew into the sky with a hula.

……

"Please......"

A voice came not far away.

"Huh?"

"Check it out!" Joyna commanded.

Her heart shook, and she was terrified by what she saw, so tragically. Who did this?

It's unusual for a gang to have such a strong force. "Daddy" is not a good stubble, can he give up this kind of death?

After a while, two spies dragged an injured man to Joyna's eyes.

The man's frightened eyes were staring at her, and his mouth was still muttering to himself.

When they got closer, everyone heard clearly, and he kept saying, "Please...... You, please......"

A big man shouted, "Shut up! Don't read it! Then he reached out and slapped the man several times.

The man seemed to be sober.

His dry lips trembled slightly, and he stopped speaking, and his brain seemed to remember something, and he stared at Joyna dryly.

"Look! That boy, was he scared to pee? ā€ć€‚

Everyone looked, and sure enough, there was a large mark on the man's crotch.

"Haha-ha......"

One of the thugs laughed dryly, and noticed that everyone was looking at him.

He quickly stopped laughing, swallowed and spat, and lowered his head.

At this time, no one laughed anymore, and everyone had a solemn expression, as if they were shrouded in fear.

I don't know what it is that scares the fanatics under "Daddy" like this?

You know, these people are all thugs who kill people without blinking, and it is estimated that they are not much better if they are themselves.

What happened?

What exactly is going on!

……

"Go, ask him, what's going on?" Joyna frowned.

"Hey! What's going on in this place? ā€

……

"Ask you! Say it! ā€

……

"Idiot! Are you scared silly......"

……

"Feed him some water, pull it over there in the shade, and take it easy." Thompton came up with an idea.

After a long time, the man finally recovered and his thinking was a little more normal. Then, he was dragged back to Joyna.

"Tell me, what's going on? Also, how did these people die? ā€

"Yes, the devil did it! He, he ......"

The guy was stuck again, and he really didn't want to remember those scenes that scared him.

"Go on!" Joyna got impatient.

"He killed all of us...... I don't know what weapon to use, our weapon, can't hurt him......"

"Wait, who is he? He did it alone? Joyna's heart shuddered, and something came to mind.

"It's a person, his appearance...... I couldn't see the face, he was wearing a mask, a very strange mask. His clothes were red, like robes, tall and thin......"

"Wait, you mean you've never seen this guy?"

"So how did all this happen? Why did you have a conflict with him? ā€

"Haven't seen it, never seen it." The kid shook his head.

"Originally, we should have perceived ......"

"Perceive what?"

"It's not normal for there to be fewer travelers these days. But none of us cared too much about ......."

"But just yesterday morning, he, he somehow, came to our sentry...... I—I was in the back of the house, flirting with that girl. ā€

"Suddenly, I heard someone shouting, 'Stop! I didn't pay much attention to the question. ā€

"There are a lot of people going to town in this area, and we meet those people every day...... It's just a routine check. ā€

"Then, I heard a couple of people going out, they should have heard the shouting, go out and have a look......"

The man in red asked some questions.

"Well, what did he ask?" Joyna couldn't help but speak.

"He seems to have asked questions like, 'Who is your leader?' and 'Where is the mind here?'......"

"Huh? So, he shouldn't be from this place, right? Could it be from the Central Continent? Joyna considered the man's question. And then what? ā€

"Later, the gun went off!"

"I perceived...... Wrong. The sentries sometimes threaten those people with guns, but rarely do they actually shoot ......"

I let go of the woman and ran out to look. I—I saw it! The man in red, with his strange robes and masks. He grabbed a man with one hand like he was holding a chicken. ā€

"The man who was captured was brandishing a gun and trying to shoot at the man, it was really, really, horrible!"

"The bullets were all on the ground, and they didn't hurt him at all. It's, it's so weird, all the people took out their weapons, and then, it's that terrible! The man ......"

The look of horror appeared on this man's face and in his bloodshot eyes.

He tossed the guy who had fired the shot and waved it casually...... And he was cut into two knots in the air at once! The rest of it spilled through the air. ā€

"I swear, I've never seen anything like it, he just does it with his hands!"

"I can see very clearly, he didn't use any weapons!"

Speaking of this, everyone showed incredible eyes, and there was a hint of asking each other in their eyes, perhaps, they all thought of a man at the same time.

"Later, it was a massacre. None of our weapons can hurt him! ā€

"Gunshots, shouts, wailing, everyone shooting at him indiscriminately...... But it didn't work at all, he was not afraid of bullets. ā€

"Also, there's ...... He's incredibly fast! As long as anyone who gets even the slightest bit close to him is already dead. ā€

"There were a few more people standing far away...... Just like me. We ran like crazy, I wasn't the fastest, but I was hit in the waist by a stray bullet! You see. ā€

As he spoke, he gestured to his body. The people looked at him...... Indeed, near the waist and thigh, there was a wound with blood that had not dried.

A little further up was the liver, but it didn't hurt the internal organs, and the flesh and clothes were already stuck together.

"Behind me, there were the screams of those people being slaughtered! It's horrible! Everyone, the screams before death were mixed together, and the wolves were crying and howling. ā€

"I fell to the ground...... I thought I had been shot, and lay on the ground waiting to die, until, until the voices stopped behind me, and I didn't dare to get up again....... ā€

"So...... Did you survive by pretending to be dead? ā€

The crowd behind him laughed.

……

There was a slight unnaturalness in the laughter.

"Yes, yes...... No, it isn't! I lay on the ground, gritting my teeth, holding my breath and not moving. With that, he shook his hands wildly.

"But I felt like he was not far away. I even saw the bright red color in my peripheral vision...... Seems to be standing behind me! ā€œ

"At that moment, I knew! I felt him aware that I was alive. But...... I don't know why, but in the end, I felt like he was leaving...... That demon! ā€

"And then, I didn't dare to move...... I've been praying for him not to kill me! ā€

Silence, deathly silence.

All around, the burning ashes occasionally made a "crackling" sound, and after hearing the story of this massacre, everyone fell silent.

"Demons? This bloody killing really doesn't look like a human thing......"

"What does he want to do?"
