Chapter 7: Grimm (1)

Waking up for the third time in a short time, Zhou Yu woke up a little tired, it was really a wonderful and long night, and this was not his bedroom, it seemed that the night would continue to be long.

This time he woke up in a small wooden room, and he lay on a small wooden bed with a small wooden table next to it, a small wooden chair in front of it, and a tattered bear skin on the floor.

The furniture is old and crudely made, but it is sturdy and durable, and the sunlight shines through the small round windows, and the bright light can make people feel comfortable.

There was a blank sheet of paper on the table, and next to the paper was an inkwell with a quill in it, as if someone had just sat here to write, but if you looked closely, you could see that the ink had long since dried up, and there was a layer of ash in the bottle, and the corpses of a few small insects, which seemed to have been sitting for countless years.

A few words were written on the paper: "Help Jacob Green kill the target." ”

The characters are the most familiar in Chinese, and from the ink, they look like they were written many years ago, but after reading them, the strokes begin to distort and deform, and soon become a messy and meaningless mess, like a baby's graffiti.

"That's the quest prompt, right? Jacob Green...... I don't know if it's Grimm (brother) or Grimm (brother), but in the future, the novels I write will sell one-ten-thousandth of them. Zhou Yu smacked his lips, his eyes full of longing.

He wore a simple and simple set of clothes, like a suit, with a shawl, but the material was coarse cloth, only the leather boots on his feet were more elegant, and they were comfortable to wear, but they were too old and worn out.

The mission is known, but where is Green? You can't go all over the world looking for him, can you? Although the dream of not being able to wake up meant that he had plenty of time to look for it, it was not worth wasting time looking for someone.

Just thinking like this, Leng Buding came from outside with a curse:

"Bluebeard again? Damn it! I'm going to have him torn to pieces!" ”

Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, walked to the window and looked out.

The hut was in the middle of the forest, alongside the other houses on either side of the path through the forest, and the door of the hut on the opposite side was open, and a young man in a full tuxedo was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, and a short sword with a delicate and beautiful hilt hanging from his waist.

After walking for a while, he suddenly stopped, raised his fist and shouted to the sky, "Bluebeard must ......"

Inadvertently seeing Zhou Yu behind the window, his movements paused, he pulled out his short sword violently, and asked, "You, Bluebeard, come out!" ”

Zhou Yu hurriedly touched his lips, he didn't have a beard, so he walked outside the house with confidence, waved his hand at the person, and said, "Hello, I'm not Bluebeard, my name is Bento, you are Mr. Jacob Green?" ”

The man nodded, put the dagger back into its scabbard, and asked, "Are you a hunter who lives here?" Why didn't you bring a shotgun? ”

Zhou Yu thought to himself, a person who is still holding a gun at home, is either a psychotic or a victim of paranoia, do you really dare to talk to him? However, he still answered honestly: "The shotgun was sent for repair." ”

He didn't say he lost it, for fear that Green would think he was too bad as a "hunter".

Green pointed to the wooden house with the door open and asked, "Did you hear anything last night?" ”

"Nope." Zhou Yu shook his head: "What happened?" ”

"He's killing again, Bluebeard is killing again." Green shook his head and sighed.

Zhou Yu walked towards the wooden house, and before he could enter the door, he saw a large amount of blood.

The interior of the room was similar to the one he had woken up, except for a hanger next to the door, a bedside table with a vase next to the bed, a bouquet of blooming cornflowers in the vase, and blood on the bed, on the walls, on the petals, and on the floor.

The corpse of a woman was lying on the floor next to the bed, covered with sheets, only her head and bare feet were exposed, her blond hair was messy, her left foot calf was exposed, white and immature, but a piece of flesh was bitten off, animal tooth marks could still be seen near the wound, and a piece of the scalp above her right ear was torn off, but it could still be judged from her facial features and height that it was a little girl.

There were pools of blood on the white sheets covering her, like a few blooming potato flowers.

In addition to the corpse, there was an overturned basket on the ground, the contents of the basket rolled all over the ground, the scones were trampled flat, the bottle of honey was broken, and the golden honey flowed to the ground, and a few drops of blood were still wrapped in it, and there was an eerie beauty in the Gothic style.

A conspicuous red cloak hung on a hanger next to the door.

"It turns out that this kind of unfolding, when did Bluebeard become a big bad wolf?" Zhou Yu just wanted to go into the house to take a closer look, but saw a strange cat coming out of it.

The cat walked upright like a human, with tawny stripes, a pair of short boots, a wide dark hat with a long white feather stuck in the hat, and stood almost a meter tall, and walked very steadily, but its hands and feet were ridiculously short.

It raised its head and glanced at Zhou Yu, only one-third of its eyes were exposed, and from the thin slit pupils that were exposed, Zhou Yu only saw indifference.

"It's murder." It said calmly: "It can be seen from the degree of blood coagulation that the murderer killed her in the first half of the night, and the blood that flowed out at that time is now so deep that it is black; The killer left without closing the door, and the nearby beasts were attracted by the smell of blood, and ate her internal organs and a small part of her limbs, probably more than one, and some of the blood on the ground was still dark red, probably brought out at dawn. ”

"Detective." Zhou Yu looked at the cat in surprise: "How do you know that Bluebeard did it?" ”

"Because he left evidence." The cat in the boots raised his right "hand", and a thick dark blue long whisker was wrapped around his paws, and some blood was stuck to it: "Probably ripped off by her, there should be several, and the rest were taken away, this one was wrapped in a sheet, and the light was too dark, so it would be missed." ”

"But that can't be used as conclusive evidence, can it?" Zhou Yu's left ring finger began to hook again: "The beard may have been left here before, first of all, we must find out the identity of the deceased, the ownership of the house, who can come in, the time to change the sheets, and also implement the method of the murderer entering the house, whether there is a helper, and the possibility of planting, the most important thing is that the door is always open, and the beard may also be blown in by the wind and then stuck by blood." ”

"There's no time, Bluebeard must die." A cold voice came from behind him.

The voice was very cold, Zhou Yu only felt a chill down his spine, and when he turned around, he saw that the person behind him was Green, who was holding a book and looking at it, with a serious expression, and all the words on the book were twisted together, none of them could be recognized, and the cover also had twisted lines together, which were relatively long, and should be able to form a pattern if they were all returned to their original positions.

Looking at Green's eyes again, the focus of his gaze did not fall on the pages of the book at all, but passed through, as if extending deep into the earth.

"You can't be reading a book you've written, right? That's weird. Zhou Yu felt that Green's behavior of reading "Book from Heaven" must have some deep meaning.

"Bluebeard must die." The cat in the boots walked up to Grimm and said the same thing, in the same tone as Grimm.

"Bluebeard must die." Green repeated again, closed the book heavily, turned to Zhou Yu and asked, "Hunter, are you going with us?" ”

"Of course, 'Bluebeard must die' is the slogan, right?" Of course, Zhou Yu has to follow closely, if he loses it, he may not be able to find it, and maybe it will lead to the failure of the mission.

"Your shotgun is broken, use this." Green handed over a short bow and a pot of arrows.

"Hmm, I haven't used this thing for years, I don't know if it will be used." Zhou Yu reluctantly took the bow and arrow and took a preventive shot.

He had never touched a bow in his life, and he couldn't use it at all, but as a "hunter", it was too strange to say that he couldn't shoot arrows.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to find an opportunity to break the bowstring and use the bow as a stick, the arc is a little strange, but the attack power will not be reduced, as for the arrows...... Think of it as a tool for mending knives.

…………

The cat in the boots led the way, Green walked in second, and Zhou Yu followed last, walking along the path out of the forest.

The sun was warm, the scenery in the forest was beautiful, the forest path was winding, there was no end in sight, the cat and Green never talked, Zhou Yu didn't know what to say, so he had to follow in a muffled voice, he hung the quiver on his waist, and danced the short bow to familiarize himself with the weight, so as not to use it in the battle.

I don't know how long I walked, but the cat in the boots suddenly stopped, turned his ears to listen for a while, and said, "There is movement." ”

"Bluebeard?" Zhou Yu frowned, if he really met Bluebeard, his first battle in the rattan dream might break out, and several encounters in Moon City cast a psychological shadow on him.

Green also drew his dagger and looked at the woods on the right side of the road, as if he could hear the movement as well.

"It's not Bluebeard, it's several." The cat in the boots twitched his nose and sniffed for a while: "And the corpses." ”

"Corpses?" Zhou Yu was slightly stunned and looked at Green.

"Check it out." Green walked first in the direction he was looking.

Zhou Yu immediately followed, and the cat in the boots was two steps behind him.

The woods are so dense that there is no sign of any vandalism, and the canopy of the trees blocks out the sunlight and makes it look a little eerie.

Zhou Yu was uncomfortable, firstly because there was a strange cat behind him, secondly because of the atmosphere in the forest, and thirdly because this was a dream forest, and maybe there would be a powerful nightmare hidden.

While he was thinking about it, Green in front of him suddenly stopped, and he almost crashed into it.

There was a sound of rustling footsteps in front of him, but his vision was blocked by a few big trees, Zhou Yu habitually bent down, intending to sneak over to explore the truth and find out the situation, but Green rushed forward without saying a word and carried his sword, and he didn't have time to pull.

The cat in the boots sprang out in the other direction, its footsteps much softer and its movements extremely agile.

Zhou Yu hurriedly followed behind Green, bypassing the big trees, and his eyes suddenly opened up.
