Ji Qiu tightened the placket on his body, dragged the backpack on his shoulder, took out the pistol inside, and walked slowly forward along the footprints.

After the footprints had traveled some distance, they turned a corner and turned to the back of the ruined temple.

Behind the bend was a large glade, surrounded by vines and grass, silent, except for the occasional faint sound in the dark woods on the side, only the whirring wind echoed in the ears.

After walking dozens of meters with the footprints, Ji Qiu finally saw the figure of the strong man in the moonlight.

The strong man stood upright, his hands hanging at his waist, and turned his back to him in a posture of raising his eyes into the distance.

The weirdest thing is his lower body.

His pants were now down to his calves, revealing his thick thighs and a round and dark ass, and the thick hair on his legs was being blown up slightly by the wind, but he seemed to be unaware.

“… This guy isn't going to be done yet. ”

How strange the scene in front of him looked, he couldn't stand Ji Qiu's sudden idea.

"Brother Chen? Are you done? After collecting his thoughts, Ji Qiu shouted at him from a distance, but the other party did not react as if he had not heard it.

Night...... Quietly......

Ji Qiu retracted his steps, cautiously approached the other party within ten meters, and then followed the other party's position in a semicircle and came to him, looking at him.

The muscles of the strong man's face relaxed, and he looked ahead with a numb and sluggish expression, and his senseless and empty eyes were like a puddle of black lake, calm and colorless.

Ji Qiu stood a few meters away and shook his arm at him, but the strong man didn't even roll his eyes, still maintaining a stunned expression.

No matter how much he thought about it at the moment, he knew that something was wrong, Ji Qiu looked around, and then picked up a small pebble and threw it at him.

Syllable!!

The stone hit him in the face, and then it was bounced away, and the strong man's body fell backwards, and then he fell to the ground with a stiff back of his head, making a muffled "thud".

“……”

Ji Qiu waited in place for a while, and found that the other party was still maintaining a stiff posture after falling, half-erect, as if he was unaware of the impact on the back of his head, his eyes changed from level to up, and he looked at the top of his head in a daze. If it weren't for the sound of breathing, he would have thought the thing was dead.

Ji Qiu stepped forward vigilantly, touched the other party with his foot, then squatted down, stretched out his hand and patted his cheek.

Syllable!!

Syllable!!

Neither lightly nor heavily, the other party still did not react.

"It's... Evil? Ji Qiu stood up, lit a cigarette, and took a few puffs slowly.

He should have expected that how could a ruined temple be brushed out in the middle of the night for no reason, just to let you stay for a while. If you move in, something special will happen.

According to his reasoning, if he didn't care about the big man under him at this time and turned around and left here, he might be able to avoid this strange incident. And if you continue to explore, you should trigger some plot or quest or something.

Slowly spitting out a cigarette, Ji Qiu thought about it, before he figured out whether this was the main line or a side quest, it was impossible for him to just turn around and leave.

"Let's go." After two more puffs, he shook off his cigarette and spoke.

As if to say to the strong man, as if to say to himself, he stretched out his right hand and pulled up the strong man's collar, and regardless of the little partner standing in the wind under the other party's bare crotch, he dragged him towards the broken temple.

After walking back and forth for a while, turning the detour just now, and just returning to the temple gate, Ji Qiu stopped walking.

In addition to the moonlight in front of him, the fire in the temple had disappeared, and through the screen window, there was only a burst of darkness.

Ji Qiu silently put down the strong man's collar, and then slowly walked to the temple gate.

I reached out and pressed it, and it felt the same as when I first went in, heavy and old.

Ji Qiu didn't say a word, suddenly kicked open the door directly.

At the same time, the left hand took out the lighter from his pocket, clicked it and threw it out, all in one go.

The lighter landed on the ground inside, and the slightest flame flickered, illuminating the surroundings, as well as a pair of canvas shoes and white trouser legs hanging in the air in front of him.

It was a scholar's foot.

The scholar's neck was suspended from the beam by a yellow cloth, his body was straight, his face was pale, the corners of his mouth were black, and his whole person swayed with the change of gravity.

What matters is his eyes.

It was a pair of gray, lifeless eyes, which seemed to bulge out of their sockets due to the squeezing of their veins, and his eyes were like two half-squeezed eggs, shrunk into the air, staring straight ahead.

It is clear that the man is dead.

Ji Qiu looked at his palm, and the slightest trace of imprints in his palm showed that he had pulled something very hard not long ago, and it lasted for a while.

"Strip of Cloth...... Did he hang it himself? Suicide?"

Ji Qiu quickly rejected this idea, and the scholar was suspended in mid-air nearly two meters above the ground, without any support under him.

Someone put him on.

This thought flashed through Ji Qiu's mind, and he quickly glanced at the space inside.

It was pitch black all around, except for a small spot in the light of the fire and the moonlight.

The merchant was lying on a pile of hay not far away, curled up facing in, not knowing if he was dead or not.

"Side quest trigger"

"Mission requirements: to find out and solve the strange matter of the land temple."

"Completion Bonus: D+900"

"Failure Penalty: None"

"Sure enough...... Feeder. The prompt sound sounded at the right time, which just verified Ji Qiu's conjecture.

He pulled out another lighter.

This time, with the help of the light in front of him, he threw the lighter onto the already extinguished pyre.

Crackling!

The flames quickly spread out, and the room was instantly illuminated.

Empty

Except for the slightly swaying corpse of the scholar in the air and the middle-aged man lying on his side in the distance, there was no one else.

It is a square room, with a dilapidated statue of the mountain god standing against the temple wall, and the gate is opposite the statue.

Ji Qiu stood outside the gate, and as the firelight inside lit up, his vision shot through the door frame towards the temple, forming a triangular area.

The places on both sides of the temple gate near the corners of the wall are his blind spots, that is, places where he cannot see from this position.

In other words, if there is an enemy in it now, then 80 percent is hiding there.

Touch!!

Ji Qiu broke the rope that hung the scholar with a single shot, causing his body to fall to the ground.

Followed by

Bumper Bumper Bump!!

Ji Qiu's index finger quickly pulled the trigger, and in a flash, the bullet stream hit the wooden wall outside the temple like a tide in the two blind spots.

Anyway, the ammunition is unlimited, so it doesn't hurt to use it.

After firing for more than ten seconds, it was not until the barrel of the gun was slightly heated that the window paper on both sides of the temple door and the wooden walls of the door frame were beaten to shreds, and Ji Qiu let go of the finger holding the handle of the gun.

The next moment, he quickly put away his gun, bowed forward at the same time, stepped under his feet, and instantly threw himself into the temple against the ground, and fired a shot at each side at the same time.

The whole action was done in one go, extremely smooth, showing its own extremely high combat quality.

Unfortunately, there was no one in those two directions.

He'd seen it on his head a long time ago, and it was the same.

"So...... You're the only one left. ”

He turned around quietly and looked at the middle-aged man who was still lying on his side not far away, revealing only a back.

Such a big movement didn't wake him up, and there was a problem at first glance.

Due to the indiscriminate shooting of Ji Qiu just now, the already dilapidated temple wall became more dilapidated, and the mountain wind at night whistled from the temple gate and the broken wall continued to pour in, blowing the fire light and swaying, pulling out the scenery in the temple one by one constantly flickering shadows.

The sound of the wind drowned out all other sounds around it. But Ji Qiu's internal force flowed, condensed his ear power, and when he listened carefully, he could still detect the faint breathing sound of the middle-aged man.

Ji Qiu stood silently and thought for a while, then raised his pistol.

To be on the safe side, let's give him a shot first.

Boom!!

Just as he was about to shoot, there was a muffled sound outside.

It was the sound of something hitting a wooden wall.

Ji Qiu didn't say a word, turned the head of the gun and fired in the direction of the sound.

Touch!

Poof!!

The sound of bullets entering the flesh sounded, and Ji Qiu finished shooting only to find that something was wrong.

It seemed to be the place where the strong man was lying just now.

“…… This thing must have come to its senses and hit the wall, and then I mistakenly hit it. ”

Finding that he seemed to have hit the wrong person, Ji Qiu hurriedly took a few steps forward, ready to go out and check it out.

Right now

Wall Knock!!

The voice rang out again, but this time it was muffled and clearer.

Through the walls of thousands of warehouses and holes, Ji Qiu saw a figure standing up slowly outside.

It was indeed the figure of a strong man, his bald head shining through the moonlight on the tattered gauze paper, forming an oval shadow.

The figure curled up, shuddered, and slowly walked towards the door.

Smack!

Gradually, the figure approached the door. As his right hand grasped the doorknob and turned around, his entire body was exposed to Ji Qiu's eyes.

The right side of the strong man's shirt was now dyed bright red, and bursts of blood were leaking out of his kidneys. Obviously, he was shot by Ji Qiu just now.

His crotch was still erect, his shoulders were collapsed, his back was bent, and he seemed to be half a head shorter out of thin air.

The most important thing is his face.

His eyes were slightly narrow, and his originally round eyes had now become slender, and the corners of his eyes were turned outward, like two thin lines that were half oblique. The bridge of his nose has changed from crooked to collapsed, his mouth lines have expanded outward, and the wrinkles on his face are dense, and the original features are no longer visible except for the original beard.

This is the face of a young man, but rather the face of an old woman of seventy or eighty years old.

And it was the face of a snarky, vicious old woman.

A **** man with a lower body and a dark and strong body with such a face is really not weird.

"Hey, hey, hey!!" The woman opened the corners of her mouth and let out an inexplicable laugh like a finger running across a wall, low and sharp.

"Who are you?" Ji Qiu adjusted the backpack on his body to a comfortable position and asked. He had a hunch that there would be a big war ahead.

"Hey, hey!! Those who are dying, why bother asking. The old woman's expression turned hideous, and the wrinkles on her face were intertwined in layers, like a piece of yellow paper that had been crumpled and spread out again.

As soon as the words fell, her body moved, and her claws grabbed Ji Qiu like a shadow.

"Indeed, those who are about to die, why bother asking." Ji Qiu's hand moved, and another bullet shot out.
