Chapter VII: The Missing Person
Outside, the sky was getting brighter.
Roth was still carrying the head of the ghost-faced monkey in his hand, and his eyes were not very friendly when he looked at Su Ziyu. Just as the group was about to return along the same path, there was a sudden sound of Suo Suo in the dense jungle around them, and at the front of the group was the one-eyed man, who waved his hand to signal the others to stop, and said in a deep voice: "Something is wrong." Be careful! ”
As soon as the words fell.
Two black shadows pounced out of the shadows, one at the one-eyed man at the head, and the other at Roth, who was carrying the head of the ghost-faced monkey.
There seemed to be a scream from the one-eyed man's side, and Rot's reaction speed was also quite fast, in the face of the black shadow that suddenly pounced, he dodged the attack even if it was a rotten donkey, but in this way, Linna, who was standing behind him, was exposed to the enemy. All this happened very quickly, Linna seemed to be a little unable to react, Su Ziyu, who was one step behind her, almost didn't think much about it, and directly pulled her to dodge, because of the excessive force, both of them fell to the ground. Immediately after that, a chaotic sound sounded, and from time to time there were screams from other people, and a splash of blood also splashed on Su Ziyu's arm.
"Thank you." Linna, who came to her senses, reached out and pulled Su Ziyu up, and then pulled out the weapon at her waist.
Two larger ghost-faced monkeys were rampage through the crowd, their hideous faces revealing a hint of madness, and the speed of the explosion was very amazing, and there were already two people lying on the ground ten meters away from Su Ziyu, almost knowing whether they were alive or dead. Farther away, there was a man whose entire face had been scratched, and a broken eyeball was hanging outside the bloody eye socket, as if at that moment the one-eyed man suddenly used a person next to him as a meat shield. The reaction speed of everyone present was also very fast, and in the face of the seemingly crazy ghost-faced monkey, they were slashed with swords, and soon they were dismembered by the random knife.
The battle was over in less than three minutes.
Two ghost-faced monkeys were hacked to death, three of the group died, and six or seven people were injured, and everyone's faces were a little ugly, and they looked like they had palpitations.
Su Ziyu was not injured because he fell behind the team, he was just taken aback by this sudden battle.
There was a whimpering wind all around, and the one-eyed man's face was pale, and his expression seemed to be a little frightened, as if he had heard some strange sound, and he didn't even plan to clean up the corpses of his companions, and directly asked the others to leave quickly. Su Ziyu followed the others all the way back, I don't know if it was his delusion, he felt as if there was a pair of eyes staring at them secretly all the way. It wasn't until he returned to the village that the others breathed a sigh of relief, Lina took the head of the ghost-faced monkey to see Ken, and those injured people also went to treat their wounds, Su Ziyu returned to his residence, and before leaving, he glanced at the one-eyed man, and always felt that his expression was a little strange after he came back, and his face could be said to be quite ugly.
Dinner was brought by Lina.
She seems to have a better attitude towards the squid, and tonight the village slaughtered two fat sheep, and she sent a roasted leg of lamb.
It smells so good!
Suzi has not eaten a decent piece of meat for almost half a month.
In the first world, he was hungry for three whole days, and he ate a scorpion before being caught by the snake people, but the raw scorpion was really hard to eat, and the snake people treated him as a slave, and the food he was given was similar to that of a pig. It wasn't until he met Lina that he ate what people should eat, but there was no oil and water, and today's leg of lamb can be said to be the best leg of lamb he has ever eaten in his life.
He misses the Sichuan-style fat sheep hot pot a little.
As a modern person, he really doesn't adapt to this era, he doesn't even have a paper to wipe his buttocks, and every time he unties, he has to find his own leaves, he really doesn't know why the protagonists in the ancient film and television dramas he watched before are so happy.
Poor food, poor clothing, and extreme lack of living materials.
When you wake up in the morning, you have to use a twig to brush your teeth, and there are aborigines next to you who look at what you're doing with a surprised expression. All his living habits are out of step with this era, but fortunately, Ken seems to have decided that he is from an aristocratic background, so he just thinks that Su Ziyu is a little more particular than others.
Nothing was said all night.
When Su Ziyu woke up the next day, she saw Linna's pale pretty face, her expression seemed to be a little frightened, and she pulled Su Ziyu and walked outside.
The village was a little eeriely quiet.
Lina took him to a place suspected to be a blacksmith shop, there were already many people inside, there was a smell of blood, Ken stood at the door with an ugly face, Su Ziyu saw the one-eyed man yesterday at a glance, he died on the edge of the wall in a strange posture, as if it was a special statue, the human skin on his face had been peeled off, revealing dark red facial muscles, the only eye had been gouged out, revealing a bloody hollow eye socket, and a hole in his forehead had been opened, The eyeball from the statue of the Evil God is being set intact. It must have been a while since the one-eyed man died, his body was already a little blue, dark blue blood vessels were exposed under his skin, and there were many bloody scratches on the surface of his body, but it looked like he had scratched it himself.
"No one has ever come in there. He gouged out his own eyeballs himself. ”
The atmosphere in front of her was a little terrifying, Linna even nervously grabbed Su Ziyu's clothes, and the others were silent, but their expressions were a little scared.
There wasn't much in the blacksmith's shop.
But Su Ziyu saw some special torture tools, some of which seemed to have been used on the one-eyed man, no one heard any abnormal noise last night, and it was impossible to imagine that a person would not make any screams when he gouged out his eyeballs, and how he nailed himself to the wall after gouging out his eyes. Looking at the corpse with some terrible eyes, the one-eyed man should have been in great pain before he died, and there were traces of violent struggle in the room, but no one noticed it last night.
"Did you find his eyes?" Ken said with an ugly face.
"Nope." The person next to him shook his head.
There was no sign of anyone else entering the room, but the one-eyed man's own eyes were missing.
There was a little panic in the village all day, and Ken had people hurriedly bury the body of the one-eyed man, and ordered the others not to leave the village for the time being, and not to criticize the matter in private. The body of the one-eyed man was brought by Roth to be buried, he seems to be Roth's uncle, Lena seems to be Roth's cousin, and the whole village is a little related.
The one-eyed man died a horrific death.
Some of the people who had entered the cave and seen the statue of the evil god that day were apprehensive, because the way the one-eyed man died made people inevitably think of the statue of the evil god, and they didn't know what they were talking about in private, because it was a foreigner, the aborigines hardly talked to Su Ziyu.
Ken went out with a few people during the day and didn't come back until the evening.
Lina stayed next to Suziyu all day, her face was not very good-looking, and she would be in a daze from time to time. To be honest, Su Ziyu was also a little scared in his heart, because the way the one-eyed man died inevitably reminded people of supernatural events, which he couldn't cope with at all.
But fortunately, he has faced life and death more times during this time, and he doesn't feel very flustered, at least his thinking is still very clear.
Suziyu was also the first to realize that Roth was missing.
The second person to realize this was Ken, who returned in the evening, and asked Roth to take someone to bury the one-eyed man's body, but no one was seen returning until dark.
At night.
As if a great fear enveloped the entire village, Ken led people to search for traces of Roth and the others around the village, but they disappeared completely, and even the body of the one-eyed man was gone. On the other side of the cemetery there was only an empty grave with some blood strewn around, they seemed to have been here, but the people were gone.
Everyone was uneasy that night.
Su Ziyu put the black short blade on the side of the bed where he could touch it, and he barely fell asleep all night, but was in a state of half-asleep and half-awake.
