Chapter 197: Corpse Food Ritual [Thank you for being a little cold this summer!] 】
Is this it? ”
Liu Xiuxiu looked at the small building not far away through the car window, and an uneasiness rose inexplicably in her heart.
"There's no other building around, is there?"
Xia Ren said as he stopped the car about a hundred meters away from Xiaolou and beckoned the two of them to get out of the car together.
"I can feel a foul aura spreading all around, similar to what I felt on the sixth floor of the Dawning Center, where the ghouls are probably inside."
Hearing this, Liu Xiuxiu's expression also became serious, and she said: "The one who can support a ghoul must be a different faction, and he deliberately lives in such a remote place...... There may be a lot of people inside, so you have to be careful. ”
"That ......"
As soon as Xia Ren's gaze turned to Qin Yun, the latter immediately said resolutely: "I want to go with me." It's not willful, Lily is on me, at least I have no problem protecting myself, and maybe I can help you, after all, one more person is one more protection. ”
Xia Ren hesitated for two seconds, nodded, and looked at Xiuxiu again: "Do you want to go in together?" Let's talk about it first, and if we fight, I won't necessarily be able to protect you. ”
Liu Xiuxiu didn't get into his black box this time, as if he had given up on himself since he was arrested by the superintendent as a dangerous person at the bank, and he never carried it again.
At least on the surface, among the three of them now, Xiuxiu has the lowest combat effectiveness.
"The Foundation will never back down!"
Xiuxiu could feel the meaning of Xia Ren's words and said sullenly.
"Okay then."
Xia Ren didn't insist anymore, put the car on the side of the road and locked it, and quietly approached the destination with the help of the night.
The closer they got to Xiaolou, the more obvious the commotion of the tentacles became, and even Xiuxiu and Qin Yun could sense the subtle changes in their surroundings.
"Did the temperature drop a lot around you?"
Xiuxiu suddenly felt a palpitation, and the cold air rushed to his face, and he quickly raised his hand to look at his watch, and the hands on it began to turn around, indicating that the area had been covered with pollution.
Xia Ren walked in the front, his eyeballs had completely melted, and the sudden sharp drop in temperature was actually because of him.
It was the first time in reality that he had faced such a polluted creature that surpassed the infected and deformed, and he didn't know what the strength of the other party was, so he could only try to be careful, in order to avoid being discovered before he found the ghoul, which would lead to a failure, he was ready to use the vision ability of the Eye of Rulim plus the manipulation of the rootless water to help investigate.
Two drops of blood dripped from his dark eye sockets, and then his eyes returned to their original state, only the two drops of blood flew quietly forward under the cover of the night.
"And that's not all."
Xia Ren said: "Do you feel that the surroundings are particularly quiet, and there is not even a sound of insects? ”
Hearing him say this, Liu Xiuxiu did notice that the surroundings of Xiaolou were a little too quiet.
In the space of speaking, Xia Ren was distracted, and the two drops of blood had already entered the courtyard, and the three-hundred-and-sixty-degree vision without dead ends helped him see the internal situation completely and ensure that there would be no omission.
"It's strange, why is there no one."
Xia Ren continued to walk into the living room while controlling the blood beads, and led the two of them around the fence outside to the main entrance.
Liu Xiuxiu was still looking at which side of the wall was easy to turn over, and saw that he seemed to be going to push open the gate directly, and asked in surprise: "Won't you be found if you go in directly?" ”
"It's okay."
Xia Ren didn't explain much, the door was not locked, so it was easily pushed open.
The moonlight was bright, and the scene behind the door appeared in front of them, it was a wide courtyard, but unlike the low-key and luxurious small building in front, this courtyard was built too simply, and even gave people a simple feeling, the ground was paved with cement, there was no superfluous debris on it, and it was flat, not to mention the garden landscape, even a vegetable patch could not be seen.
Only next to the gate, there are two small bungalows, which seem to have been built later, like a thatched house built in the royal garden, which is incompatible with the whole building, and according to the location, it looks like the janitor lived.
The light was on in the bungalow, and there was a faint smell of burnt paper in the air, similar to the smell of burning paper, mixed with a foul smell.
"Check it out."
Involving ghouls and aliens, Xia Ren didn't plan to give up any part of the building, and the blood beads continued to probe on the other side, and he walked into the small bungalow.
The small wooden door was hidden, and the dim light peeked through the crack in the door, and the smell of burnt paste came from here.
Seeing Xia Ren passing, Liu Xiuxiu and Qin Yun also hurriedly followed.
Xia Ren pushed open the small door and saw an iron basin on the ground, and something in the shape of a book was burning inside.
The tentacles urged him to look for the ghoul, and he seemed a little hungry and thirsty, but he forcibly suppressed the restlessness, thinking that the contents of the iron basin must be important, so he quickly ran over and picked up the kettle on the table next to him to extinguish the water.
When Liu Xiuxiu and Qin Yun also entered the house, they saw Xia Ren picking up a black thing from the basin.
The smell in the air was foul and unpleasant, Liu Xiuxiu pinched her nose and asked, "What is this?" ”
"Looks like a book?" Qin Yun walked over and looked at it twice, and said uncertainly.
It was indeed a book, but its contents had been completely burned, leaving only a mass of charred ashes, difficult to read, except for the cover, which seemed to be made of some kind of animal leather, and did not burn quickly, so it still retained its rough shape, and could barely make out the handwriting. The stench emanates from this cover.
"Corpse Eating Ritual?"
Xia Ren read it word by word, and he always felt a little embarrassed.
"Sure enough, it's a different faction!"
Liu Xiuxiu immediately confirmed: "Only people of different sects will keep this evil book, I am afraid that it contains knowledge about pollution, and it can distort people's minds just by reading it!" ”
Xia Ren also felt that the material of the cover of this book was somewhat familiar, and if he thought about it carefully, wasn't it the same as the small piece of leather paper he found in the attic of the Lebo family with obscure characters?
He suddenly had a sense of foreboding, and when he looked through the cover carefully, he was stunned to find several traces of stitching, the position of which was similar to that of human facial features...... Human skin!
"This, is it ......?"
Qin Yun also saw some details, and couldn't help covering her mouth, frowning, very unacceptable.
No wonder Liu Xiuxiu only glanced at it and decided that this was an evil book, he must have seen similar ones before.
Xia Ren found a problem.
"This book didn't burn for too long, and it was about the same time as Luo Bianshu left, so where did the people who lived here go?"
The inside of the bungalow looked as shabby as the outside, there were few clean pieces of furniture at all, and it was so sloppy that it was too dirty to say that the doorman hired by the owner of the building.
I didn't have time to think about why the janitor suddenly burned the book, and just as Xia Ren asked this question, he suddenly sensed something and turned to look at the small building under the night.
A new discovery has been made in the Eye of Rulim.
