Chapter 416: Monk
After a while, he said aggrievedly, "Yes...... But I'm still scared, what should I do? "I'm going to cry when I say it.
The girl who was the only one of the three smiled, "If you eat more, you won't be afraid." ”
The fat man let out an "oh" and said, "Okay." ”
Xu Lai listened for a while, got up and walked over, and said with a smile: "Is there something tricky going on here recently?" ”
The four looked at him suspiciously.
"Hehe, peer." Xu Lai said with a smile.
"You're a mage, too?" The fat man blurted out.
"yes." Xu Lai said with a smile.
The senior brother looked at him for a while and said, "Since my friend is a colleague, why don't you come and sit together?" ”
"It's a good feeling." Xu Lai said with a smile and brought over all the dishes on his table.
The girl squeezed to the side, making way for him.
Several people immediately introduced each other, and it was relatively easy to communicate with each other, and they were all young people, and soon several people became acquainted.
This senior brother's name is Chen Sen, the fat man's name is Tong Siming, the girl's name is Meng Qian, and the other person's name is Zhuo Gang, all of whom are disciples of the Chen Liupai.
"Brother Xu, are you a wandering warlock, have you traveled so many places?" Meng Qian asked.
"At present, it's okay, walk around, I just came down from Wuling Mountain today." Xu Lai said with a smile.
"Brother Xu, you're in the mountains all these days, so it's no wonder you don't know." Chen Sen said with some understanding.
"How?" Xu Lai asked.
Chen Sen shook his head and sighed: "Just last night, there was a family surnamed Dong in the east of this town, and a family of more than a dozen people all died tragically at home overnight. ”
"Is it a mystery case?" Xu Lai asked.
If this is just an ordinary murder case, then the local police will handle it, and it will not alarm the mage.
"It should be!" Chen Sen said.
Xu Lai heard some uncertainty from his words, since it should be, it shows that there are still doubts in it.
Chen Sen told the story one by one.
It turned out that more than ten miles east of this small shop, there was a family surnamed Dong. This family is considered a large local family and has a high reputation in the local area.
Last night, it was the big day for this family to get married, and the house was full of guests and guests, and it was very lively.
It was noisy until midnight, when the guests dispersed one after another, the young couple also entered the cave room, and the Dong family's house also returned to calm.
But in the second half of the night, several nearby families suddenly heard a terrible scream from the Dong family, and many people were awakened at that time, and they got up and rushed over to see if something was wrong.
Everyone went to knock on the door, but no one answered the door for a long time.
So a few young men climbed over the wall and entered, opened the door, and when everyone hurried to go, they saw a hellish scene, the Dong family was bleeding like a river, and the corpses were all over the field.
Men, women, and children, big and small, all died tragically on the ground, and the strong smell of blood was disgusting.
Everyone hurriedly called the police, but at this moment, they heard the door of the side side door click open, and then a monk came out of it, with blood on his face and his hands folded, walking towards the crowd expressionlessly, like a demon.
At that time, the villagers were directly frightened, and they all fled with a bang, and when the police arrived, the monk had disappeared.
Due to the frequent strange things in Xiangxi recently, there are often anomalies such as corpse transformation for no reason, so it has attracted a considerable number of mages and warlocks to come.
The land of Xiangxi has been driven out of corpse craftsmen for generations, and they have a very good way of dealing with corpses. But in modern times, the craft of corpse chasers has almost become extinct.
Therefore, after the frequent occurrence of corpse mutations, it is mainly relied on the mages who rushed from other places to suppress it.
And Chen Sen and the other four people are one of the people who came to Xiangxi.
They came here not only to patrol the Quartet on the orders of their master, but also to train themselves.
After hearing about the tragedy of the Dong family, the four people intuitively thought that this thing was unusual, so they immediately rushed over.
In addition to them, there are also many mages who have passed through this place to investigate. After some searching, the group finally found the monk's trace on a small river outside the town.
This man floated on the surface of the water with his eyes closed, and the blood stains on his body melted away with the river, carrying heavy loads and floating, and people were inexplicably panicked.
A group of spells immediately stepped forward to ask if the Dong family's affairs were done by him.
But the monk didn't say a word, and when he floated on the water, he showed his head and looked very weird.
Seeing that he didn't answer, everyone had no choice but to make a move.
But in the blink of an eye, the monk sank to the bottom.
The mage immediately jumped into the water to chase after him, but the hellish thing is, the monk disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"A monk? What does it look like? Xu Lai asked.
"It's not too old, it's about the same as us, and it looks ...... It should be said that it is quite Sven. Meng Qian said. She had seen the monk floating on the water with her own eyes with everyone's eyes, but due to the immersion in the river, the monk's skin was a little pale, and it looked quite scary.
"We speculate that the monk is either a madman, or has been taken by an evil spirit." Chen Sen said.
Xu Lai pondered for a while and said, "Then are you going to round up that monk tonight?" ”
"Yes, someone found the trace of the monk in the back mountain, so everyone is going to do it tonight, and you must take the monk!" Chen Sen said.
Xu Lai inquired about the direction of the back mountain.
"Brother Xu, do you want to come with us? One more person is one more strength! Meng Qian warmly invited.
Everyone thought that Xu Lai would definitely agree, after all, it is a mage's duty to exorcise evil spirits, and basically no mage will refrain when encountering this kind of thing, but who knew that he said, "I still have something to do first, and then I will go over to meet you at night." ”
When Chen Sen and the others heard this, they felt a little uncomfortable.
Something to do first, this is obviously a prevarication.
"Oh, then Brother Xu, you go to do things first, it's nothing." Although Meng Qian was disappointed, she was still kind to say.
The other people didn't have a good impression of Xu Lai, so they weren't very happy to talk to him.
"Then I'll take my leave." Xu Lai smiled, went to pay the bill, and left the shop.
As soon as he went out, he went all the way east.
When they arrived in a sparsely populated place, they unfolded their methods and swept away.
After a short time, I arrived at the Dong family's house.
The Dong family is a large local household, this house covers a large area, and it is quite a few years, black tiles and green bricks, quite quaint.
Due to the tragic murder that has just occurred, the Dong family has been temporarily sealed, and several officers on duty are guarding outside the hospital.
Xu Lai only observed for a moment, and then took advantage of the night to flash in.
More than ten members of the Dong family died tragically, and the bodies had been taken away, but the blood was still there, exuding a pungent smell.
Xu Lai walked around the inside and outside of Dong's house, and judging from the traces left, there was nothing too special.
It should be that someone entered in the dark and killed the Dong family one by one, and judging from the bloodstains, these deceased people were sprayed with a lot of blood before they died.
This is a bit abnormal.
If the monk is a master of spells, if he wants to harvest the lives of the Dong family, he will not use such a technique, any spell can make people die.
Unless he did it on purpose.
Xu Lai stayed in the courtyard of the Dong family for a while, then quietly left and sneaked into the place where the bodies of more than ten members of the Dong family were parked.
After his investigation, the fatal injuries of these corpses were basically on the neck, and the major arteries were cut in an instant, and blood spurted wildly to death.
And it wasn't for a sharp weapon like a sword, it should have been cut off with his bare hands.
It wasn't too difficult for a skilled mage to do that.
Xu Lai pondered for a moment, peeled off the clothes on one person's chest, and continued to examine carefully.
About half an hour later, he quietly left.
At this time, Chen Sen and the other four were already walking on the path in the back mountain, and the shadows of the trees in the forest were heavy, and they were silent.
"That guy surnamed Xu said it nicely, and he ran away as soon as he encountered something, what kind of person!" Zhuo Gang was still complaining.
"Don't say that, maybe something is wrong with people?" Meng Qian still thinks about the benefits.
"What can happen!" Zhuo Gang disdainful, "Even if there is something, can it be more important than this?" I think that guy was just scared and found a chance to slip away. ”
"I ...... I'm also a little scared. The fat brother said in a trembling voice.
Zhuo Gang twitched his head and scolded: "It's useless!" ”
As he was talking, Chen Sen, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped, and the rest of the people were taken aback, and they hurriedly stopped their guards.
Mage is unmatched
