Eric stands under the hospital window.

He was amazed at what he found.

First of all, the ground here even smashed into a depression due to the force of the man's fall.

Secondly, from the outside, the unusually wide footprints left on the ground cannot be called human footprints. Instead, it's more like some kind of common animal.

Bear's footprints.

Eric recalls the moment he was slammed into the wall, and the hairy touch came from the arm that made contact with him.

Also, Eric remembered that the man had covered his body with a sheet. I'm afraid it's so that people don't see his true face.

Taken together, these factors are more likely to prove Eric's conjecture.

The other party is a berserker.

That's right, a slightly special kind. It's a branch of humanity, but it's more akin to orcs.

Normally, they are humans, and if they are extremely emotional, they will transform into other creatures. However, most of them are able to actively control their transformations.

And the one that Eric is tracking is the berserker who will turn into a bear.

Bear Warrior.

It's just that this kind of rare race doesn't swagger in the cities inhabited by humans. Eric can bet that even in Sin City, known as the Interracial Settlement, Clay May Bear Warriors won't be common.

Besides, why did the sick berserker transform while taking medicine in the hospital?

In any case, this is undoubtedly a dangerous act. For the safety of the residents, Eric decided to pursue the matter.

Tracing footprints was a familiar thing for Eric. In addition, the other party chose all the small alleys that were inaccessible, so that the color of the traces on the ground was very clear.

After all, the huge guy with the sheets is just too eye-catching. That would leave many witnesses.

Along the way, Eric made his way through the city and gradually came to a remote corner of the residential area. It's close to the edge of the city and off the beaten track.

Incidentally, Eric's arm is still broken. He didn't have time to heal, he just let Weiss do the simple treatment.

The opportunity to investigate is fleeting.

Of course, this move comes with great risks. A fractured left arm would have distorted his movements, and he was hit by an attack that he could have dodged.

Eric touched the Curt on his pants.

It's been a long time since I've experienced a decent battle. When was the last time it came?

Fight Mr. "Pat" on the train, Marella in the mountains, and hordes of living corpses underground?

Eager to hone his almost rusty fighting skills, Eric saw his broken arm as a useful shackle.

Similar to weighted running training.

At this point, Eric saw that the footprints under his feet finally left the road and led to an abandoned house.

"Did you finally stop. ”

Standing still, talking to himself, Eric looked the house up and down, and it didn't look like it was inhabited.

The houses on both sides are equally dilapidated, without a hint of popularity. The original residents probably moved closer to the city.

Eric walked through the debris-strewn yard to the open door.

After a slight hesitation, he poked his head out and looked inside.

Unexpectedly, the main hall is a place with a breath of life. It's very different from what it looks like out there.

A long table with candlesticks and some loose cutlery. Although the furniture is dilapidated, it is still usable.

Is the owner not here now.

Thinking of this, Eric stepped into the doorframe.

Baste. Something was slightly blocking his legs.

Not good!

Whoosh——!

A bolt pierced the wall.

Eric bent backwards, frozen.

It was so dangerous! He was almost shot through the skull.

Eric moved back in fear, straightening up, rubbing his cheeks. The strong wind from the arrow made his face ache with heat.

He observed the bolts stuck to the wall.

Crossbow bolts have been almost completely replaced by firearms in this era. But its power is still undeniably powerful. It's enough to kill people in one hit.

Compared to normal circumstances, the bolt pierced deep into the wall. It seems that the person who made the crossbow was quite high-level.

Eric looked backwards along the tail of the arrow. I saw that on the cabinet not far away, a crossbow was hidden behind the vessel and firmly fixed there.

Squatting down, a broken filament thread was immediately spotted by Eric.

Pitfall......

People here are guarding against something.

In this case, there should be more than one set of this hand crossbow.

Eric quickly adjusted the focus of his pupils slightly, and sure enough, he noticed other thin lines in the air. In this small space, they appear very dense.

But the hand crossbows connected to them are not so easy to find. However, as long as they don't trigger, it doesn't seem to matter if you can't find the source.

Eric lifted his long legs and straddled a thread high, twisting left and right and a few more. Passed this level.

He came to the only door in the hall except for the entrance. In the eyes of the Alpha Demon, the traces of footprints did indeed pass through this door.

Eric hesitated to open the door immediately. Because he didn't know what kind of traps awaited him besides these powerful crossbow arrows.

Maybe the moment he opened the door, something terrible would appear.

Precautions must be taken.

"You're coming so fast. ”

Someone suddenly spoke.

It came from the door in front of Eric's eyes.

I'm the only one who comes. At this point, Eric was puzzled.

I only heard the other person continue: "Since I have come, I must welcome it as the host." Please come in, uninvited guest. ”

Uninvited guests? This is obviously not a welcome word. Since he was able to stand in front of this door, of course the other party knew that the person who came had passed through the crossbow arrow array he had set up. The hostility is self-evident.

And with the other party's voice fell. The door creaked and opened a crack.

In any case, this is too suspicious.

Obviously, this is a means of dealing with the enemy. There must have been a storm of attacks waiting for him behind the door.

Eric didn't know if he and the other were enemies. But from the statement "you guys are coming so fast", Eric can almost conclude that some misunderstanding has occurred between them.

But even to explain the misunderstanding, he needed to enter the door.

No other way.

"I am honored to have the opportunity to speak with you. ”

Eric tried his best to be friendly and pushed the door open.
