Volume VIII, Chapter 13: Bloody Footprints

Our rescue failed to save Chen's life in time, and he died of serious injuries.

Yaya was a little sad, pursed her lips, and bowed her head silently.

"Why is this happening?" She asked quietly.

I didn't answer because I didn't know how to answer her question.

"Let's go to the village chief's house and have a look......" The night wind was suddenly a little cold, like a gloomy wind blowing in a cemetery.

In fact, here...... It has also been turned into a cemetery.

Uncle Chen said before closing his eyes that the people in the second group had died. He originally planned to inform the village committee of the news, but he didn't know what happened at that time, and all the mobile phones lost contact with the base station at that moment.

He had to climb and climb the long road to the village chief's house.

But before he arrived, he was already dead.

I estimated the distance from his house to here, and the speed of the crawl, and finally came up with the time of the accident: it must have been shortly before we got out of the hole!

Now is not the time to dispose of the remains, and we must make sure that no one in this village survives.

……

The babbling wind blew through the cornfields, through the tobacco fields, and also through the holly and osmanthus trees in front of the houses.

Except for the light from the window of a house in the east, the rest was immersed in the night.

I glanced at Yaya and motioned for us to go to a place with lights first.

She nodded, holding the cold jade tone tightly.

The wind swept through the low sky, and as a few bamboo leaves were blown away on the ground, the maid and I landed in the courtyard of the house to the east.

It was silent, not a sound at all. A motorcycle was parked under a tree in the yard, covered in crystal dew.

There was no vicious watchdog pounced, and everything seemed to fall asleep at this time.

Yaya and I walked to the window and looked through the gap in the curtain, the lights were on, and we could faintly see the light of the TV screen, but there was no one.

Very quiet,

The TV set was also quiet, with no sound coming out when the program was playing.

Yaya stepped forward, the cold jade tone flashed slightly, and a not very strong energy field was generated around Miao Dao.

The energy field is like a magnetic field, penetrating the glass above the window and entering the interior of the room.

The curtains are drawn in both directions under the control of the energy field.

The situation in the house is even more visible.

The couch was just under the window, the remote was dropped on the coffee table, and the TV screen turned blue...... There is no signal input.

The blue color is not very stable, it flickers frequently, and the whole picture looks weird and abnormal.

A drop of black stuff flashed through the window, and something fell.

Yaya and I couldn't help but look up, and a terrifying face immediately appeared in the field of vision.

My heart was beating wildly, I wasn't afraid of these things, but suddenly I saw this terrifying picture, and the visual impact was really indescribable.

It's a face scratched by claws, a human face!

And this man, at the moment, is hanging upside down above the window. The girl exclaimed in surprise and subconsciously hid behind me.

It's really dead!

Breaking open the door, I walked in, turned to the right, and came to the room where I had just seen the body!

The walls were smooth, but the man hung upside down on them, black blood coming from his mouth and nose.

His belly had been pierced by an iron rod and nailed to the hard brick wall.

What a cruel method! The girl grabbed my left arm with her right hand, but covered her mouth with her left hand.

This scene is really miserable.

In his own family, a person died like this, is it possible that other people don't know?

I turned around and walked deeper into the room.

Knocking on the door, no one responded, but the thick smell of blood came out of the crack in the door, frowned slightly, and kicked open the door of the room.

The man is still lying in bed, but he is already dead.

The throat had been scratched by the claws, and the blood had wet the quilt and pillow, even dripping down the corners of the quilt.

People have just died, and the blood has not yet coagulated, and the dark red blood makes people feel more strange than terrifying.

These people didn't struggle, they just died in bed, quietly and quietly.

What the hell is that sacrificial spirit, it's killing people outside, and the people in the room aren't even aware of it?

Except for the strange death, I didn't see anything special.

It feels like a professional killer who comes and goes without a trace.

Next to this house, is a two-story house. This two-storey house is very conspicuous, with wall tiles and glazed tiles on the outside, which naturally stands out compared to those houses that have not been renovated or have been roughly renovated.

This is the village chief's house.

Uncle Chen climbed down from the second group to inform the village committee. But before he had climbed halfway, the man died on the road.

Same quiet. Opening the iron door, the maid and I walked in.

The lights were turned off and the curtains were drawn.

When I walked to the main entrance of the hall, a strong smell of blood came.

Something really happened.

Something has happened to everyone in this village.

Is this sacrificial spirit a Japanese devil?

Like to do this kind of village slaughter?

Breaking down the door, the ground was covered in blood.

Bloody footprints all over the house.

There are human footprints, but also cat and dog footprints.

But I just didn't see one particular footprint: the footprints of the sacrifice!

Since it kills with its claws, it won't always be human.

"It's weird! Why are it always human footprints? The cold jade tone in Yaya's hand also emitted a cold light.

With a wave of his hand, Xierzhuo flew out and turned on the lights in the room.

There were no bodies in the hall, and the maid and I stood in the middle of the hall.

Now this place is very dangerous, I can't leave Yaya, and the task of finding survivors can only be entrusted to Xierzhuo.

The room was bloody and full of blood.

Yaya looked up at the ceiling...... It was all splattered with blood.

She suddenly said, "Zhuo ...... Dad and Daddy fell into the hands of the priests, do you say they will ......" The latter words, she didn't say, but her meaning was obvious.

I shook my head. I was at a loss right now, and I didn't know how I was going to answer her.

She bit her lip and bowed her head silently.

At this time, a touch of blood red inadvertently entered my eyes.

That's someone deliberately writing it!

Words written in blood!

The blood script was written on the offering cabinet in the middle of the hall, which was extremely glaring.

Yaya also saw these three words.

Raising an eyebrow, he walked over.

I also walked over, and under the miserable white energy-saving lamp, there were three words written on the offering cabinet: Sacrifice Spirit Nine

What does this mean?

"Sure enough, it's ......" Yaya's face turned pale instantly, and she almost cried, "Zhuo, it was the sacrifice spirit who did it." When the father and father disappeared, such blood characters also appeared. Do you say, "Will they also be killed by the spirits?" We can't find them, have they been destroyed by them? ”

My heart is also cold.

Although my father is very strict with me, he is my father after all.

His life and death are unknown now, can my heart not be cold?

But I can't cry when I want to cry like Yaya, and laugh when I want to laugh.

If I also showed powerlessness and despair. Then this thing will lose its spiritual support, and there will be no value and meaning to seek.

"It's fine!" I took her in my arms, gently patted her undulating back, and comforted, "Never think about the worst until the end." We're worried about Dad and Daddy here, maybe they're sitting somewhere eating mushroom chicken at this time......"

"Your joke isn't funny at all!"

……

My attention returned to the scarlet letters. Maybe there's some clue here.

This morning, Dad and Daddy disappeared inexplicably and have not been able to contact them until now. And when we find out about it. The kitchen was littered with blood and the word "two and a half".

Now, the same blood word appears again. But the difference is that the half of the word has become a number. What does this mean exactly, and what is the biggest difference between numbers and words?

Does this mean that the priests have killed the first few people?

Maybe it's possible.

For a while, I thought that the person who wrote these words and the person who wrote them in my kitchen were not the same person, they were two groups of people, one with numbers and the other with Chinese characters.

However, I quickly disproved this idea because the handwriting was the same, and they came from the same person.

Soon, Hildra came to report the situation.

There were four people in this house.

Several people have experienced very fierce struggles before they die, which is why they will leave so many footprints in the hall.

The bodies of all four were found by Hildr.

But that's not the end of the story.

Hildra doesn't have the ability to analyze genes, but she has a strong ability to process data. I asked her to match the blood marks and footprints on the ground with the position of the corpse.

The footprints are easy to confirm, because the shoes of these four people are not the same size, and you can know whose footprints are by directly analyzing the size of the footprints.

And this analysis really went wrong.

There were only four corpses in the room, but there were seven human footprints on the ground!

Could it be that the other three footprints are the footprints of the murderer?

That is, the footprints of the sacrificial spirit?

However, we didn't see any traces of superfluity in the previous house.

If these three footprints are really the footprints of the murderer, doesn't that mean that the priest is a human being? But just now Uncle Chen said that the sacrifice spirit "it" is not a person.

"Perha......ps," Yaya muttered at this time, "the spirit sacrifice is really not a person, but an organization.

If an organization is not alive, it will naturally not be human. Sacrificial spirits do not refer to a specific person, but to a group of people. ”

Until other evidence is found, Yaya's inference may be correct.

"Master," said Xierzhuo, who appeared in front of me and Yaya in the form of a little girl in green.

Why is she like this, now she is really famous.

It was Yaya who asked her to become like this.

As for why Yaya has such a strange request, I can only hehe. The girl's mind is really hard to understand.

Those are all in the past.

Xierzhuo looked at the messy footprints on the ground, and said suspiciously, "Master, there are two footprints here that are very strange. The owner of these two footprints does not seem to have been injured and his steps are very steady. And of the two, one of them was so grinning that he didn't seem to have to hide anything, and walked straight over these blood stains.

The other is much more careful, and when walking, try to avoid blood on the ground, so as not to leave his own footprints. ”

"Look, master," said Cierzhuo, pointing to a footprint in the corner, "this footprint is the most special one. Not only because it is the shallowest one, but also because the owner of this footprint is not wearing shoes and is barefoot. ”

"Barefoot?" Hearing this, it was not only me who was surprised, but Yaya was even more dumbfounded.

The barefoot board and the bloody scene in front of him can't be put on the side.

I can't imagine what it would be like for a person to walk through here barefoot.

Hildra continued: "Master, you see, this man ...... I guess I didn't wear shoes for a long time. His footprints were full of calluses. ”

All of a sudden, my brain couldn't turn around, and I couldn't figure out what kind of person would walk through such a bloody scene without shoes.

After thinking about it, I said, "What about the other footprint?" ”

"This ......," said Cierzhuo, "Master, though this footprint is not as strange as the barefoot footprint in front of me. But if you look closely, this footprint is also quite problematic. ”

"Tell me about it!"

"I feel that this person ...... He's a madman...... "He's walking crookedly, but he's not unsteady." This is not a madman, what else could it be? It's like a madman walking up and down. ”

What happened tonight is really getting more and more incredible.

But like Thomas? Hardy's words: While many things are unbelievably strange, nothing is so strange that nothing is impossible.

Not bad! Nothing is so strange that it can't happen.

"And what about the remaining footprints?"

"One footprint left?" Xierzhuo frowned at her already absent eyebrows and said, "This footprint, I feel like a seriously injured person has walked out. ”

When she said this, she pointed to the sofa in the hall and said, "Master, you see, this man's footprints started from the side of the sofa, which means that he was sitting on the sofa when he was attacked, and then, for some unknown reason, he got up from here and walked out. Sildra pointed to a series of footprints on the ground and said to me earnestly.

This string of footprints, mixed with many footprints, is really not easy to distinguish.

This series of footprints went towards the outside of the door, and after leaving the gate of the hall, the footprints quickly faded and finally disappeared.

Since Hildra talks about where the footprints begin and when they end, I naturally have to ask the other people where the footprints begin and end.

The footprints of the four bodies found inside the house were very ordinary.

The footprints of the two children began in the hall and ended in front of their corpses.

The other two people, one is an old man and the other is a middle-aged woman.

The footprints of the two men started in their own room, and after they walked around the hall, one died at the bottom of the stairs and the other in front of the computer.

The end point of the footprints is their own remains.

In addition to the one person who walked out, there were also the strange footprints of those two people.
