Chapter 24: The Mist

"Alright, alright!" Qin Mei comforted Karin impatiently, she was not used to doing these things, she gave other people a look, and finally before the outbreak, Hill took over her work.

The shepherd was born as a god, and Karin's kind performance soon calmed her down and began to recount her ordeal.

When there was a riot last night, Luke, one of the six in their group, was killed first, while Wilson was seriously injured by the fjord sea monster in the process of covering everyone's escape, and died after Qin Lun rushed back.

Karin and Susan were both captured by the monsters, while Stannson and Dinah escaped. However, humans are strange creatures, and after the fear has passed, the escaped Dinah and Stannsen are soon ashamed of their actions.

They had the audacity to follow the fjord sea monster in an attempt to save their two companions. What's even more unbelievable is that Stenson, the man with glasses, bursts out with incredible courage because he likes Susan, and almost at his own expense in exchange for Susan and Karin's escape.

The scene was too chaotic, and Dinah, who was originally hiding on the side, was also discovered by the fjord sea monster, and the three girls finally escaped in two directions, and the seriously injured Stenson was captured by the sea monster.

Not to mention Dinah, who finally encountered Qin Lun and others, just Karin and Susan. The two girls seem to have had a bad time, and nothing good happened to them after they escaped from the fjord sea monster.

It was difficult to tell the direction of the forest at night, and they only thought about getting away from the sea monster, so they ran farther and farther into the forest. As they ran, first Karin and then Susan, both of whom heard strange noises, much like human screams.

I have to say that sometimes human curiosity is really strong, and the two girls decided to go together to see it in a state of apprehension, and they saw a scene that they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

They followed the intermittent moaning to a small pine forest. There, they witnessed an emaciated man being disemboweled, partially entrailed, and finally decapitated with a sharp dog-legged machete.

"Do you see the murderer clearly? And what about another girl named Susan? Everyone looked at each other and knew that the man who was disemboweled, should be Carmen found by the search and rescue team at noon today, that is, the man with glasses from Allen's team.

At this time, as time went on, there were countless news about the explosion of planes at the airport in the online media. Hill and Qin Mei also speculated that the student team led by Allen was the key to this reincarnation plot mission, and Qin Lun was likely to have participated in this important plot.

However, judging from the information obtained so far, the team of plot characters is not only Alan and others, and the girl named Karin in front of her obviously belongs to another team of plot characters.

And around these two teams of plot characters, they obviously trigger more than one mysterious power. Grim Reaper games, fjord sea monsters, ...... If you include the "person" in Karin's mouth who likes to disembowel the victim, there are already three types of appearances.

Of course, the last so-called mysterious power may also be Qin Lun, after all, the "dissecter" Joey also likes to disembowel others to make angels, and his character is also part of Qin Lun's personality.

"I'm not sure!" When everyone asked about the murderer's appearance, Karin had a strange look on her face, as if she was caught in a memory, and she was a little hesitant.

"It doesn't matter, whatever you see, we'll believe you." Hill's heart moved, and he comforted softly, "After all, even things like sea monsters have appeared, and it's not strange that other incredible things have appeared. ”

"I ...... I saw it clearly, but in retrospect, it's hard to believe! After some encouragement from Ciel, Karin finally said with a wry smile, "The murderer is wearing a black tuxedo, a top hat, a cane under his arm, and a monocle on his face...... It's like the kind of early 19th century English gentleman that you often see on TV! ”

"Disguise?" Everyone looked at each other in surprise, when they first appeared in the camp before, they didn't hide the reincarnation equipment on their bodies, and they were dressed like a group of cosplayers, and of course others could do the same.

"It wasn't like a disguise, I don't know what to say, but he behaved in a natural way, as if he was supposed to be an old-century gentleman in that dress......" Karin recalled.

"Even if he's disemboweling?" Rand asked mockingly.

“…… Yes, even if he is doing the most horrible thing! Surprisingly, Karin was silent for a while, and actually agreed with Rand's statement.

"It's also possible that zombies, vampires, and other long-lived species!" The voices of the crowd did not shy away from Karin.

"Karin, did you see the man's hands, did he have iron claws or other weapons?" Qin Mei blinked her eyes and asked curiously.

"Yes He wears a leather glove with iron plates on both hands, and a curved blade on each knuckle of his fingers, like a dehaired leopard's claw." Karin's eyes showed fear again, and her shoulders trembled slightly.

"You're really armed with a weapon!" Qin Mei glanced at the leisurely Hill, frowned and said, "In that case, I'm afraid it's not zombies, vampires and the like, those things don't need to wear iron claws to disembowel people." ”

"Don't guess, you'll know when you see it." Hansen, who was silent, made the group stop discussing the topic further.

"See? Do you want to find the murderer? Karin exclaimed in panic, "Why don't you call the police first?" ”

"If that companion of yours had escaped separately from you, then since you were able to escape, she would have been caught." Rand said lightly.

"It's deep in the forest, and the phone signal is very disrupted. What's more, it will take time for the police and rangers to come, and the murderer is so vicious, I'm afraid that your companion will not be saved by then. Ciel mended with a pleasant face.

They also need Karin to lead the way, so naturally let her overcome her fear of the murderer first.

Susan...... You're right! If Susan had probably been caught, she would have been dead by the time the police came, and I would have taken you there. Karin's gaze swept over the shotguns in the hands of the crowd, and there was a hint of determination on her face.

Because Wilson has a crush on Susan, Karin has always regarded Susan as a rival, and has secretly encouraged Stenson to pursue Susan. But now that things are wrong, Wilson is dead, and Stannson's life and death are unknown in order to save them, and Karin has long lost that mind.

Susan and she were each other's only supporters on the escape last night, covering each other in life and death. If they can go back alive this time, it is estimated that they will be closer than sisters in the future.

"Wait, I'll take care of the wound on your foot first." Qin Mei stopped Karin and took out a roll of drug-soaked bandages. Karin fled all the way, and she didn't know where to throw her shoes, and her limbs were full of small cuts from the bushes.

It took a few minutes to take care of the wound, and Karin's spirits were much better. The bandage-soaked medication already contained certain stimulant hormones, which gave Karin a slight boost of energy.

After putting on a pair of Qin Mei's spare hiking shoes, she took the lead in front and led everyone towards the interior of the forest. It's just that Karin doesn't remember the route of the escape, and the team moves slowly, and sometimes Hansen needs to discern the direction based on the footprints left in the jungle.

As we went deeper into the forest, the sky darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a faint mist filled the forest.

"Something is wrong!" When the fog was rising, everyone felt that something was wrong. But they were already deep in the forest at this time, and they could no longer exit, so they had to continue to walk forward.

"I ...... Lost! Karin, who was leading the way in front, finally stopped in frustration. As an ordinary girl, she didn't associate the fog with mystical powers for the time being. In order not to increase her psychological burden, everyone tacitly did not tell her the truth.

"The phone has no signal, and the GPS and compass are not working." Hansen, who was walking at the back of the line, quietly passed the news to the crowd, "Even I can't make out the route I came." ”

As a mercenary, Hansen has a good sense of direction, even without a map, and can remember all the routes he has taken, even in forests where there are no clear signs or signs.

Now that even he could no longer make out the route he had come, the area was indeed shrouded in mysterious forces, and they might have encountered a mysterious event such as "ghost hitting the wall".

"Confusing Time and Space...... This is the most troublesome type of mystical power. Hill frowned slightly, "Vote, move on, or stay put?" ”

The best way to encounter the unexplained mysterious power of time and space is to stay where you are, which can reduce the probability of encountering danger. When this mysterious power dissipates, they will be able to come out.

The voting results are obvious, except for Karin, Hill and the others all chose to move on.

"Hehe, how can you stop such a fun thing?" Qin Meijiao replaced Karin with a smile and walked at the front of the line.

It's just that the rest of the journey was a bit unexpected, and they went straight through the fog, and they never encountered any danger. It wasn't until Karin couldn't hold on anymore that they found a glade to camp.

The night was eerily silent, not even the sound of insects could be heard, and there seemed to be many terrible monsters surrounding them in the mist. Hill and the others solemnly took turns keeping vigil, and it was not until dawn that everyone realized that they had almost all sleepless.

"The fog has lifted!" Rand looked at the gradually clear scenery around him, and his expression couldn't help but relax.

"Come over here!" Hansen's strange shouts rang out in the distance.

The group walked a little way towards each other, only to realize that their campsite last night was actually on the edge of a cliff, and Hansen was standing on the edge of the cliff looking down at the scenery below.

"How far have we come, is this still Arcadia?" Everyone looked at the country town with smoke at the bottom of the mountain, and looked at each other silently.
