Chapter XXVI: The Beginning

After killing the two reincarnators of Donald's team, Qin Lun did not leave the cave as soon as possible, but waited for a while, feeling that it was unlikely that those reincarnators would be ambushed at the entrance of the cave again, so he walked out.

He wasn't worried about whether the remaining two of Donald's team would defend themselves at the entrance of the cave, and they were now carrying two characters, one of whom was still seriously injured and dying. If they are allowed to die, Donald's main quest will fail.

What's more, there are Alan and others waiting at the entrance of the cave, and Donald himself is also the target of death, so he should not fight Qin Lun in front of the plot characters. The best option is to lie that Qin Lun is dead, and then take the plot characters away.

After walking out of the cave, Qin Lun opened his gaze aura and found that Allen, Donald and the others were indeed not nearby. He expected that the gang might take the badly injured Stenson to some town hospital, and after recalling the location of the place, he chose a direction.

He remembers that the direction was the north-east port town on Mount Deset Island, which was less than 5 kilometers away in a straight line, and it took about 1 hour to cross the forest. At this time, Alan and the others should go faster, and they should almost arrive in town.

However, once they let down Stearnson, the plan of action was more difficult to predict. Donald is expected to continue into the forest and find a few other missing characters, while Alan and the others are hard to say.

After all, they are just some college students who have not been in the deep life, and after such an accident, it is difficult to have the courage to go into the forest, and the most likely is to ask the police and the FBI for help.

The latter option would get Qin Lun into trouble, as the FBI and police systems would have other teams of reincarnations.

Qin Lun was a little hesitant in his heart, he was not afraid of running into trouble, but afraid of not being in trouble. After Donald revealed his identity, his interest in this plot line dropped greatly, and he no longer had the sense of substitution before.

After lazily walking for a few kilometers, Qin Lun suddenly found that he was lost, which made him feel a little surprised.

Before Qin Lun became an apostle, his memory was far beyond that of ordinary people. And now he actually found that every time he walked, he had a sense of déjà vu, even in the primeval forests of Arcadia, which was a little abnormal.

He regained his spirits and began to see the forest from a hunter's perspective.

After a long time, Qin Lun finally determined that this forest was indeed affected by some mysterious force, but it should have nothing to do with the Death Game. Under the observation of his several pupil techniques, it still affects his sense of direction, and it must involve the laws of time and space.

The sky was getting dark, and the forest was filled with a thin layer of mist, Qin Lun knew that he couldn't continue his journey in this environment, so he found a leeward hillside to rest.

After being woken up by the sound of birdsong the next day, Qin Lun found that the fog in the forest had dissipated, and he had also appeared in an inexplicable place. In front of the hill where we rested last night was a rolling wave of wheat.

The silhouette of a small town is formed by the shadowy buildings in the distance, but Qin Lun knows that this town should have nothing to do with the northeast port town of Mount Dissert, because its cultural customs are basically an 18th-century inland town.

When encountering an unfamiliar environment, the first reaction of a reincarnation or an apostle is almost the same, that is, to integrate into the environment and obtain information.

However, unlike Qin Mei's stealing of clothes, Qin Lun's main personality was more direct and brutal, attacking a traveler who had left the town and obtaining clothes and a small amount of property from the corpse.

After getting the clothes for disguise, Qin Lun did not rush into the town. The appearance of the town did not surprise him at all, he had been speculating about the purpose of the mysterious force to lure them all to Arcadia, and now it seemed clear.

This mysterious force obviously wants to use the special environmental coordinates here to introduce everyone to this space-time illusion. He didn't know what stage he had entered the town, but it was clear that he had appeared in the town too early and was likely to run into some "acquaintances".

For example: Hill and others, and for example: Donald's team who have formed a mortal enmity, and other reincarnation teams.

"There are three known mysterious powers, the first is the Grim Reaper Game, since it lured me to Arcadia, it must exist in this town." Qin Lun hid in the bushes on the right side of the roadbed, closing his eyes and recuperating while thinking about his current situation.

"The second type is the fjord sea monsters, but their details have already been figured out, and even if there is a second group, it can be completely ignored. Rather, it is the last mysterious power that is not yet known......"

Thinking of this, Qin Lun cast his gaze to the town in the distance. He had previously rescued Dinah and was guided by a black girl to find the dead Carmen. At that time, he noticed something unusual in the strange injuries of the corpse.

Normally, that kind of wound looks like the work of some psychopathic serial killer, but in the context of the actual situation here, it can only be another mysterious force.

In addition, Qin Lun also felt a hint of familiarity on Carmen's corpse. He instinctively felt that the mysterious murderer had made a large hole in Carmen's chest and taken some of the internal organs, not simply an irrational madness, but with a strong sense of purpose.

It's like a symbol, a metaphor, like Hill eating the victim's body parts, Grant using the victim's skin as a mask, and Joey turning the victim into a skeletal angel.

They are all driven by some kind of subconscious to engage in such unbelievable pathological behavior. As a master of psychology and part of his own personality, he is well aware that what Joey calls the so-called act of art is actually very much an emotional process.

"Since that mysterious power has a target, it has long meant that it is different from the Death Game, it should have a body container...... Qin Lun's eyes flashed with a fine light, "In other words, it is an intelligent life, if it exists in the town in front of you, then it may be a ...... Mankind?! ”

"Interesting!" Qin Lun's right index finger tapped on his temple, and he felt that the mood that had been low because of the low challenge of Donald's team was re-excited, and his heart was full of the urge to try.

His gaze flickered slightly, and he guessed the approximate identity of the murderer. The traveler he had attacked earlier, though not a townsfolk of the town, had interrogated some of the circumstances of the town called Monte.

After Qin Lun's destructive master's personality awakened, although he still had meticulous thinking and rigorous logical reasoning ability, it was already different from before, which was not yet noticed by Hill and the others.

In the past, even if Qin Lun had no principles and bottom line, after all, it was for the purpose of survival, and the action plan he made would always have a clear purpose and interests. But although Qin Lun has this ability, he will not make any more plans.

He has no clear goal of survival, just simply pursues novelty and excitement, even at the cost of his life. Because there is no goal, there is no need to plan, and you can do whatever comes to mind, more like a beast with unparalleled intelligence.

Seriously speaking, the current Qin Lun's main personality is more flawed than the previous Qin Lun, and he is more paranoid and unreasonable. This makes his actions more dangerous and unpredictable, but relatively more direct, without the rigor and meticulousness of the previous cobwebs.

If Hill and the others were only aiming to kill him, then this Qin Lun's master personality was much easier to deal with now than the previous one!

"The act of taking away human internal organs seems tyrannical and cruel in the eyes of ordinary people, but in fact, this kind of behavior cannot bring pathological happiness in the deep consciousness of the murderer. Because the sadistic process is too troublesome, the victim dies too quickly, and there are too many alternatives. ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Qin Lun's mouth, "What's more, if it's just for the sake of sadism, Carmen's body looks too complete again." Therefore, it can be roughly judged that the murderer was in a state of mind at the time of the abuse, and he completely ignored the victim's reaction, and took his entrails as if he had bought a hot dog ...... in a food truck on the side of the road."

When Carmen's body was found, not only had a large hole been cut in her chest, but she had also been cleanly decapitated. The killer didn't take pleasure in the victim's pain, otherwise there would be no mistake.

This shows that the murderer simply needs, and it needs the part of Carmen's internal organs that Carmen has lost, which is its real goal. So the question arises, what does the murderer need human internal organs for? If it's from this town, has it ever killed anyone in the town?

If you think about these questions in another person, you will definitely have a headache, but if the person who thinks becomes another murderer, then it is not difficult!

In Qin Lun's cognition, the murderer taking the victim's internal organs generally does not deviate from three purposes, the first is to eat, the second is to be a souvenir, and the last is a ritual.

The first possibility is quickly ruled out, and cannibalism is a habit that can be easily formed, and the number of crimes will be quite frequent. Once the murderer has this vice, the town in front of him will be the first hunting ground, and the town will no longer have such a calm atmosphere.

The frequency of crimes for the second purpose will not be so high, and with the floating population of the immigrant town, it may not alarm most ordinary people.

However, Qin Lun still ruled out this possibility, human internal organs are difficult to preserve, and a large amount of preservatives or ice cubes are needed. Given the historical age and season in which the town is located, it is easy to be suspicious of any means. As a souvenir, it seems better to use the victim's bones and belongings.

In this way, he felt that the murderer's purpose in taking the victim's internal organs should be to perform some kind of ritual. Cult rituals similar to blood sacrifices are not too frequent, and internal organs do not need to be preserved for too long, which is most in line with the current situation.

"On the premise of carrying out some kind of strange ritual, the murderer will obviously not be satisfied with that little bit of human internal organs of less than two kilograms, and he will definitely continue to commit crimes......" A cold light flashed in Qin Lun's eyes, "In addition, before the ritual is carried out, he also needs a hidden and spacious private place, even including a few accomplices?!" ”

Thinking of this, Qin Lun just frowned and stood up and walked towards the town. Based on the information he obtained, it was speculated that this was the limit, and if he wanted to get more details, he would have to enter the town.

Therefore, he changed his mind! He was interested in the killer of Carmen or the mysterious power, even if he encountered Hill or Donald's team.
