(As a reminder, in the previous chapter, Han Dong used the pseudonym [Aaron. Andwa])

The base frame of the goggles is made of a flexible, lightweight metal with a brass finish, gears, bearing construction, and a retractable strap for easy wearing and adjustment.

However, the material of the lens, Han Dong is not clear.

It should not be ordinary glass, it is estimated that a special transparent material is used, which can protect the eyes from the visual pollution of a special 'band of light'.

Han Dong, who is wearing goggles, is thinking about an 'important' issue.

Before the search.

Han Dong stretched out his hand and grabbed Cass, who was about to start the search.

"I have a question, why does the ghoul hang the mistress at the door?"

Cass explains what he has learned from books: "Mature ghouls have a certain intelligence, and this act of 'showing the crowd' shows that the ghouls have a certain hatred for their mistress to a certain height......"

"If it were me, if I really wanted the enemy to 'show the public', I would choose to hang at the door by the way when I fled in the middle of the night...... By the time someone found out, I had fled.

There is no need to be so ostentatious. ”

Han Dong's statement is correct.

If ghouls are wise, why do they behave so conspicuously, hanging their master at the door in broad daylight, isn't this setting on fire?

Han Dong continued to speculate: "Is it possible...... He's already on the run? ”

Cass immediately denied: "Impossible! Due to the theft of the cemetery, the security team has been conducting door-to-door investigations recently.

I rushed to the scene as soon as possible, saw the hostess just hanging at the door, and even saw the back of the ghoul.

In a short period of time, more than 30 security officers armed with muskets completely surrounded the house, and there was no sign of ghouls escaping. ”

Han Dong shook his head, "Not necessarily...... Just because he can't escape around the house doesn't mean he can't escape somewhere else.

Didn't you say before that the family was suspected of feeding ghouls without permission?

Since it has been hidden for so many years, is it possible that the basement of this family has undergone relevant renovations and can be extended to other places. ”

Han Dong said so.

Cass suddenly said, "It's possible!" Oops!! ”

Picking up his sword and shield, Cass immediately rushed towards the basement.

The speed at which the person was moving was not at all like he was wearing armor that hindered his movements...... Swift as the wind, reach the end of the entryway and find the hidden entrance to the basement.

Han Dong didn't move so fast.

Instead, he deliberately waited until Cass went to the basement, and then quietly released the [Evil Evil Chen Li] who was in prison.

"Miss Chen Li, please conduct a close search of the first and second floors of this building! If you spot a ghoul, let me know as soon as possible...... Also, if you find a book involving 'ghouls', bring it with you.

If someone else breaks in, return to the prison immediately.

If there is a secret passage in the basement, remember to follow it later.

Keep no more than 10 meters away from me...... Ensure that portable prisons can be accessed at all times. ”

Han Dong only speculated that the ghoul might have escaped through the secret passage in the basement...... It's not 100% sure, it's worth keeping a hand.

In addition, after testing, as long as she is within ten meters, Chen Li can be instantly retracted into prison.

"Okay."

Before taking action, Chen Li still asked with some concern:

"I smell an evil smell wafting from this house, doesn't it matter if you're alone? If you are in danger...... Can I come forward? ”

"It depends on the situation, try not to come out as much as possible, and this cooperating knight has some skills...... It shouldn't be a big problem. ”

"Okay, be careful."

Chen Li first went up the stairs and searched the second floor, looking for what Han Dong wanted.

Han Dong held the "Plague Doctor's Short Blade" and kept up with the pace of the Cass Knight...... The moment you step into the basement, the smell is even stronger.

A large number of animal bones remained on the floor of the basement, and a small amount of residue was still hanging from the end of the bone spurs...... Apparently the ghoul has just finished eating.

"Friend Andwa, you're there! Sure enough, there is a secret passage! ”

Cass found 'loose stone bricks' on the basement wall through traces of liquid on the ground.

When pressed, an eerie secret passage filled with a rancid smell revealed.

"This direction...... Could it be extended to the cemetery!?

It is no wonder that even in civilian areas, the management of cemeteries is very strict, with at least three night watchmen and muskets allowed.

Only the body was found to have been stolen, but there was no trace of loose soil, it turned out that the body was stolen from the underground area!

It's a bit of a hassle! ”

Cass was still very experienced, and turned his head to look at Han Dong behind him.

"Friend Andva, if you successfully defeat the ghoul, I am willing to give you 40% of the bounty...... Also, it's a lot more complicated than I thought.

If the place of the incident is not this one house, but a cemetery...... There is a small chance that there can be more than one ghoul.

Once we encounter more than two, we immediately abandon the mission and report to the Knight Academy for someone stronger to deal with. ”

Han Dong nodded, "Hmm...... If so, my previous guess was not quite right.

The ghoul's purpose of hanging the hostess's body at the door was indeed deliberate.

Revenge is one reason, and the second reason may be to deliberately lure people in, and if there are multiple ghouls, they must all be a little hungry.

Once they were fed, they fled from the other side of the cemetery. ”

Cass nodded slightly, his face becoming not very good-looking, "Your body is a little weak, follow me...... Remote support is fine. ”

It can be seen that this little brother Kas is a knight with a lot of righteousness.

If he is really in danger, he will choose to flee with Han Dong.

…………

The walls of the passage are covered with black mycelium, and there are a large number of sporophytes floating in the air.

Before entering, Cass reached out and touched the frame on the right side of the goggles.

Only the sound of the gears turning, through precise folding and unfolding, the semi-covered leather mask that is stored inside the goggles immediately appears and wraps around the area below the eyes, effectively filtering out the bacteria.

Han Dong also learned to do it.

A black mask immediately covers the nose and mouth.

"Let's go!"

Cass pulled out a simple kerosene lamp and walked ahead with a sword in his other hand.

Han Dong deliberately found a piece of scrap iron in the basement to block the secret passage door so as not to close it by itself.

As the two went deeper.

At the stairs in the basement, Chen Li, who was wearing cloth shoes, walked down slowly......

…………

Before he could get out of the passage, he heard the sound of some kind of claw scraping and tongue and teeth rubbing.

At the same time, there is more and more bacterial tissue on the wall of the channel.

"Listen to the voice, there's more than one ghoul!"

To be honest, Cass was a bit cowardly.

However, if you need to report to the Knights' Guild that there are multiple ghouls in the graveyard, you must gather enough information, and hearing alone is not enough.

In the unlikely event that the ghouls escape early by the time the knight squad arrives, Cass will face accountability for the 'false alarm'.

"Friend Andwa, you're waiting here! Your body can't outrun the ghoul's ...... I went up alone to take a look, and as soon as I found the ghoul lair, evacuate immediately. ”

"Okay."

Cass walked alone.

About ten minutes past, the sound of running overlapping together came from the depths.

"Get out of here!!

Inside is a ghoul's lair! There are more than ten ghouls, and the situation must be reported to the public! ”
