Although it is underground that it is impossible to know whether it is day or night on the current surface. -Pine∮ Radix ∮ small-, but the obedient Yu Siqi still followed the priest's instructions, and after eating, he got into the sleeping bag prepared by Gong Chen early.

Soon, like everyone else, he entered a dream that only belonged to him. However, shortly after he fell asleep, a series of firecrackers poured into his ears. Then, Yu Siqi, who looked a little dazed, noticed that he was vigorously dragged out of the sleeping bag and shook him awake.

"Wake up, we're in trouble."

Luo Ning had an obvious smell of gunpowder on his body, and after confirming that Yu Siqi had woken up, he turned around and woke Gong Chen from his sleep in the same way.

At this time, Father An came out of the tent, he glanced at Yu Siqi, who was a little dazed, and said with a serious expression: "I'm sorry to wake you up at this time, but I think even if I don't give you any explanation, you can probably guess what happened." ”

Yes, in fact, after being woken up by Luo Ning, Yu Siqi had already drawn his eyes to the still pervasive gunpowder smoke around him for the first time. Through the faint blue smoke, he noticed that around the tent, there were nearly ten corpses of various sizes lying on the ground.

After Yu Siqi looked around briefly, he noticed that the corpses were not like the parasites he had seen before, nor did they look like the Night People who had fought before. So, so asked.

"Is it the attacker sent by Shengjia?"

"These are really difficult questions to answer, and I can't tell if they have anything to do with Shengjia or not."

Father Ann took a few steps forward and stood in front of the nearest corpse, beckoning to Siqi and saying, "Come and have a look, although most of the features are no longer recognizable, there are still things worth noting." ”

Following Father An's meaning, Yu Siqi leaned over, and he quickly understood what Father Ann meant. Admittedly, the corpses appear to have been killed by a previous explosion, but an actual investigation of their bodies reveals that a large number of mechanical parts are used as organs in their abdominal cavity.

"Synth, that's the term I heard from the tax officer. It is said that the effect of strengthening itself is achieved by replacing all the important parts of the human body with mechanical parts. ”

Father Ann leaned down and turned the back of the body over, pointed to the back of his neck and said, "Notice those bruises?" Usually only people who have hanged themselves or hanged themselves will have death marks, why do they appear on synths? This question tormented me for a while until I met another synth. It's a little farther away over there, and considering that there may be a dark mine on the ground that hasn't fully exploded, I won't take you there. I'll give you a brief retelling, but it's actually the man's temple that has been pierced by bullets. I believe that with your current brain, you don't need me to go into details, right? ”

"You mean, these synths were modified into these after committing suicide?"

Combined with the facts described by Father An, Yu Siqi thought of a possibility. Then he quickly overturned his reasoning, for he had inadvertently seen another corpse not far from them, and although it was only a side face, he was really impressed by its appearance.

'Isn't that a dog's sister?' ’

Thinking of this, Yu Siqi didn't say hello to Father An, and walked over directly. As he got closer to his goal, his mood became more and more complicated. For this woman who once entertained him with food, Yu Siqi didn't know what to say.

Looking at the gears and springs exposed in her pierced chest, Yu Siqi could only hope that by the time Luo Ning made a move, she had already lost her human consciousness.

"Is it someone you know?"

Father An, who came with him, asked calmly after seeing the change in Yu Siqi's mood.

"Sort of, the food she makes... Well... It's delicious. ”

Yu Siqi suddenly recalled that he was in that tavern in the countryside, tasting roast lamb chops that were not inferior to high-end Western restaurants.

"That's really a pity, maybe Luo Ning should have spared her life at that time."

Father Ann said casually, and then moved his gaze to Yu Siqi's pocket. At this time, Yu Siqi noticed that William had secretly poked his head out.

"Is there anything you'd like to add to us, Professor William?"

Father Ann politely asked William for advice, but the latter was so fooled by him that he couldn't just hide in his pocket and pretend to be stupid.

"I know her, and I actually think I know about everybody here. I'm referring to the time when they hadn't turned into what you call 'synths,' of course. ”

William's tone was a little heavy, and at the same time there was something to hide. Under Yu Siqi's gaze, he reluctantly added, "Well, I know you know everything. Yes, I admit that they are all followers of the Twilight Cult. I also admit that I did do a series of experiments on them out of curiosity, but I vouch for my personality that I have never carried out such an 'inhuman' transformation of them. ”

"So you mean, your 'secretly injecting the other person' is preferable?"

Yu Siqi thought of the diagnosis and treatment notes he had found before, and unconsciously pulled them into his arms and found that they were gone. Later, he thought about it, probably lost it halfway. But at this moment, Father Ann held up a notebook with a scroll of pages and said, "Are you looking for this?" You fell off a long time ago, and luckily, Miyachen is very good at picking up 'garbage that others don't want'. ”

"What stupid thing to say, without my 'garbage', can you know William's secret?"

Gong Chen, who was carrying a bow on his back, strode towards them, and then said to William: "You little slippery head, don't you think you are hiding quite deeply!" ”

"I never intended to hide my identity, just as I didn't intend to defend anything to you. After all, the big mistake has been made, and anything you say now may be misinterpreted by you as my pale testimony. If you think it's better to kill me, I'm willing to bear all the consequences, as long as it satisfies you. ”

William's 'seeing death as home' made Yu Siqi and others a little impressed, but unfortunately, no one planned to find him a bird to be held accountable.

"Why should we kill you? No matter how you look at it, it's all about keeping you alive and having more 'deeds' than death, am I right? ”

Gong Chen's undisguised evil smile made William, who was staying in his warm pocket, feel an inexplicable chill. He shuddered unconsciously, then hurriedly retracted into his pocket and said no more.

"Look at how scared him." Yu Siqi, who was going to hear more information, was obviously a little dissatisfied with Gong Chen's performance, if it was a priest or him, he wouldn't be able to get more information.

"Come on, you're not..."

Gong Chen's words were interrupted by Luo Ning's outstretched arm, he cautiously leaned over and said to the priest, "My daughter... The tax collector said she was ready and we could try to leave. ”

"Wouldn't it be too reluctant, her injury?"

Yu Siqi was about to ask, but was forced back by the people who came out of the tent.

Wan Jie walked out, although the pace was slow and reluctant, but she did remove the cast, splint and bandage, and walked out alone.

"Looks like I won the bet, Father."
