Chapter 392: Suspicious
Chu Nan bent his fingers and nodded towards the back, the meaning was obvious, but the rune paper was pasted, if it was a monster, it should have been obvious a long time ago.
It's just that their expressions are still a little shocked, and in desperation, Chu Nan reached out and tore off the rune paper on his back and stuck it on his head, staring at them without blinking, and said for a long time: "How?" β
Seeing this, the three of them were obviously relieved, and their nervous mood slowly eased, and one of them walked up to Chu Nan, took back the talisman paper on his face and said apologetically: "Don't blame us for being too careful, I really don't dare to relax our vigilance, I guess you have also seen it, if this place is also exposed, I am afraid that we will also become the minions of monsters." β
After knowing that Chu Nan's intention was true, one of the three people led him to the gathering place, the road was rugged and difficult to walk, and because of the humidity, there was obvious moss in many places, but the guards often went back and forth several times a day, so these were not difficult for him at all.
On the way, Chu Nan asked the guards, what is going on in this city? Why did it become so terrifying.
The guard sighed and slowly explained, in fact, the truth is very close to what Chu Nan knows, but the details are different, when the city lord died in battle, there was no successor in the city, and there was a famine rebellion, and finally when everything subsided, people thought that they had survived the catastrophe, but they didn't know that a greater calamity was approaching.
"It rained heavily that night, and the city said that there was a plague that needed to be checked, but in fact it was to take away the residents for renovation, and we were very scared, but it was a coincidence that the torrential rain washed down the cellar of a family, and we knew that there was a mystery underneath, otherwise there would be no more normal people in this city."
Chu Nan listened carefully, asking a few questions from time to time, and finally he determined that the initiator was the young city lord, and he lived in the attic of the city lord's mansion in the south of the city.
"If you could defeat that adversary, could you save the transformed inhabitants by the way? They are pitiful and innocent. β
When he approached the edge of the living quarters, the guard looked back at Chu Nan expectantly, his tone full of pleading.
Chu Nan was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment and said, "I'll do my best."
The guard nodded, turned around and continued to walk with Chu Nan, but he didn't speak on the way, and after a while, they turned a corner, and a glimmer of light flashed in front of them, and Chu Nan saw from a distance that there were many people sitting around a bonfire, one old and one young were chatting about something.
An old man gestured his finger at the child and instructed: "Xiaohai, when you go tomorrow, bring some food, it is estimated that the unconscious mage is about to wake up, he has not eaten for several days, and he must eat when he wakes up." β
The child nodded to indicate that he remembered, and then looked at the fire in front of him with both hands and chins, and said to himself, "When."
If only we could continue to live in the sun, it's safe, but it's too humid. β
The old man on the side and the people around him looked at each other, the corners of their mouths twitched helplessly, they wanted to live safely and thought about comfort, probably only children would be so naΓ―ve, didn't they know that they could have what they are now, it is already a gift from God.
Just when the old man wanted to comfort a few words, he saw two people walking in the distance, the young man led by him was their guard here, and the other person behind him was completely unknown, although the light was very poor, but the old man's eyes were very sharp, just from the momentum of the person, I knew that this person was not simple.
So he pulled his arm at the man next to him, lowered his head and whispered in the man's ear: "There is a newcomer, be vigilant." β
The man nodded, and looked seriously at the stranger who was getting closer and closer, although he didn't say anything, his muscles tensed.
Before coming underground, this man was a butcher, trained since he was a child, and often boasted that he was very good at fighting, and that an ordinary soldier was his opponent at all, and he could fight two at a time.
"Who is he?"
Without waiting for the guards to start introducing, the man stood up first, walked in front of Chu Nan and looked at him unscrupulously.
Chu Nan's eyes sank, and then he smiled lightly, and his fingers quickly clicked on the person's dumb and numb, and then said slowly: "I'm a mage, as for what I'm doing here, do you understand?" β
His tone was a little unkind, and when he finished the last sentence, his eyes squinted at the old man who pretended to be deaf and dumb on the soles of his feet, everyone has a sense of vigilance, and if it is too tempting, it will be disgusting.
When he saw the man who couldn't move and speak, he first opened his mouth in surprise, and then glared at the old man fiercely, and then pleaded with Chu Nan: "My lord, Master Mage, they are only because the food is not sufficient, and they are afraid that outsiders will occupy more rations, so they will be like this, not that they have malicious intentions towards you, please let him go." β
can restrain a strong man in an instant, and the guard is not a fool, so he quickly apologized, and after seeing that the mage did not move, he gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground, and said in a sad voice: "Please, sir." β
Chu Nan came to save people, and naturally he didn't come to cause trouble, so he gave them a small warning, and then casually unlocked the man's acupoint.
As soon as the man's body was loosened, he was relieved to find that he could move freely, and he quickly kowtowed to the ground as if he did the same, got up and clasped his fists with both hands and said: "Thank you, my lord, for having a lot, it was Zhuchuan who was rude and made you angry just now."
Chu Nan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care about this, and the old man who pretended to be deaf and dumb on the side, see
He also licked his face and quickly apologized, naturally he couldn't avoid kowtowing to apologize, he didn't care about it, just watched that after attracting more and more people because of this farce, he stood up and started his task.
Pick up a pen and paper while asking, and write down the answers you want based on their descriptions.
After a long time, Chu Nan stopped questioning, left them some food, and left here the same way, and after walking out of the cellar, he looked up at the black gas in the air, and his brows gradually furrowed.
According to the descriptions of these survivors, there are three doubts about what the young city lord did after he took the throne.
The first point is to control the people of the city, and it is unknown what the young city lord implanted in the bodies of the residents by some means to control what they did.
The second point is the testimony of the children, who were often active at night, and according to their descriptions, after controlling a large number of city citizens, when they went out, they saw ghosts hovering over the city lord's mansion, and sometimes they could even hear the screams of monsters from afar.
The third point is that except for the surviving children, all the other children are gone, and even among the puppets who are controlled, there are no children.
If the first two doubts are not mentioned, Chu Nan feels that the third suspicion alone is very problematic, because when he and Kikyo sneaked in the city, they really didn't see any trace of the child, even among the puppets, they didn't see the child, he could be sure that this young city lord was planning something, but now he didn't know the other party's plan.
Just when he didn't think about it, a strong demonic aura erupted from the place of the City Lord's Mansion.
Chu Nan's face changed suddenly, and he quickly jumped onto the roof and looked in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
I saw that in the sky above the City Lord's Mansion under the moonlight, there was a thick black smoke constantly entrenched, and that strong demonic aura came from here, and he also felt a biting chill inside, almost instantly, he made a decision, and at the risk of being discovered, Chu Nan slowly sneaked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
In a house with damaged doors and windows, Kikyo almost at the same time, felt the shocking evil aura, her face changed, her eyes were shocked, she turned her head to the big and small in the house and said quickly: "You two protect yourselves, there is something big happening outside, I'll take a look." β
After saying that, the figure of the bellflower disappeared into the house, and in a moment she appeared on a towering treetop, and when she watched the evil qi gather into a vision of qi and rising from the ground, Rao was well-informed, and she couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Usually she can do such a thing, either the appearance of the most evil demons, or someone is doing something harmful, no matter what, she can't ignore it.
