Chapter 14: Night

Late at night.

After the dinner, Lin Wei and the others were arranged to rest in their respective rooms, leaving only two guards to keep vigil at the door.

Lin Wei's deputy, Wesk's house.

The extinguished oil lamp lay quietly on the broken table, a pot of unknown flowers and plants was placed behind the door, a few breezes blew in through the window, and the rough leaves trembled slightly.

The night was silent, and the earth was silent.

Knock knock!

"Huh?" Wesker was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door.

Tired from the trip, dragging his tired body, Wesk rubbed his eyes and opened the door with an impatient expression.

"Huh?"

Wesk glanced at the empty hallway, but found no figure.

"Did I hear it wrong?" Wesker scratched his head, "Maybe you're too tired and you're hallucinating?"

Wesk slammed the door shut and made his way to his bed.

Knock knock!

However, Wesk had just laid down when a strange knock sounded again.

Wesk suddenly became angry and shouted at the top of his voice, "Who the hell is doing such a boring game!"

He jumped out of bed at once, without even putting on his shoes, and quickly opened the door.

The hallway was still empty.

"What's going on?" Wesker instinctively felt a little strange, the eerie hallway looked particularly strange.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much. Wesk forced himself to put a smile on his face and cheer himself up.

Wesk checked again, but still to no avail, and slowly retreated into the room, closing the door and locking it tightly.

"It's so cold on the ground, you have to put on your shoes when you get out of bed......"

Wesk muttered to himself, abruptly, but he closed his mouth.

His body trembled unconsciously, his eyes flashed with endless fear, and he was cold, unable to take a step forward.

As if to confirm something, he gently placed the back of his hand on the back of his neck.

Hiss......

Someone breathes on his neck!

Wesk felt his scalp tingle, he tensed his body, and turned around in an instant!

I saw a strange human head sticking face to face in front of Wesk's eyes!

The head seemed to have passed through the door, its features were unclear, and its neck was blurred, except for a pair of lilac eyes, staring straight at him.

Wesk subconsciously wanted to scream, but suddenly found that his throat couldn't make a sound! a rough mass seemed to be stuck in the middle of his throat. He put his fingers in his mouth, trying to pull the blockage out, but to no avail.

Whew!

While Wesk was still struggling, a strange twig sprang out of his mouth, and it grew at an irrational rate, but in the blink of an eye, it exceeded two meters. Its torso is not large, only about a meter in diameter, and on the rough bark of the tree, there are objects that resemble hooks hanging upside down.

Goo knock goo knock!

The roots of this plant seemed to be sucking something, and a cloud of red liquid poured into it from Wesk's body, and this strange plant actually used Wesk's body as nourishment!

Sting!

Wesker's body was torn apart, and a rhizome popped out of his body, and the size of the plant quickly increased, enveloping Wesker in the blink of an eye!

Whew!

Wesk's body was quickly gnawed away by the plant, and disappeared in a moment.

The plants are still growing slowly.

Suddenly, at the very top of the plant, a gray fruit grew.

The fruit was round, and there seemed to be a pattern engraved on it, but when you looked closely, it was a human face!

Weske's hideous expression was engraved on it, and the fear in his eyes hadn't dissipated.

The previous head watched silently as it all happened, until the fruit grew and an arm came out of the door. He took the fruit in his hand, and with a tug, plucked it into his hand.

After the fruit left the trunk, the mysterious plant, like Wesk before it, shriveled and withered rapidly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the arm that stretched out from outside the door put the gray fruit into his mouth.

Click!

It took a bite.

The juice of the fruit fell on its lips, dripping on the broken floor. The juice was bright red, like human blood.

Click!

Another bite, and the whole fruit was swallowed by the head.

Its eyes still glowed with a lilac glow, and its head receded, silently disappearing into Wesk's house.

It was still silent in the middle of the night.

......

"Lord Lin Wei!"

Lin Wei was standing in front of the mirror, arranging his armor, when a hurried voice sounded outside the house.

"Huh? Come in. Lin Wei said without a trace.

I saw a heavily armed tulip guard walk in, his eyes were a little frightened, and his steps were a little messy: "Lord Lin Wei...... Vice-captain Wesk is gone......"

"Gone?!" Lin Wei turned around suddenly, a glimmer of alertness flashing in his eyes.

The guard's tone was very flustered: "Yes, his weapons and armor are still in the house, and there is not a trace of movement, but the person has disappeared. And also...... We found two drops of blood......"

"Bloodstains?!" Lin Wei looked at each other, pushed away the guards in front of him, and walked quickly towards Wesk's room.

As soon as he walked over, Lin Wei found that the outside of Wesk's house was already full of people, except for the Tulip family's guards, who were officials from the small town of Kotu.

Lin Wei pushed through the crowd and squeezed in.

Inside the house stood two guards, as well as the mayor of the town of Kotu, Shatule.

"Captain Linwei......" Shatule hurriedly greeted Linwei as soon as he saw him, he tried to squeeze out a smiling face, as if he wanted to explain something, "I really ...... about Vice Captain Weske"

Lin Wei waved his hand, stopping Shatule from continuing.

He crouched down and looked at two drops of what appeared to be blood.

"Is it really Wesk's blood?" Lin Wei dipped his index finger in it, then leaned into the tip of his nose and made a sniffing motion.

"It really smells of blood, but it's not that strong. Lin Wei had some doubts in his heart, "Ball core, analyze the composition of these two drops of liquid for me!"

"Ding!"

"The liquid was found to contain 31% human blood and 69% of the liquid of unknown energy."

"Unknown energy liquid?!" Lin Wei's heart was awe-inspiring, and he licked his lips, "The power of the wizard...... However, if it's really a wizard, why don't you kill the strongest me myself?"

Lin Wei suddenly remembered the face with purple pupils he saw when he first entered the hotel yesterday.

"The harvest of this trip is really beyond my expectations. ”

Lin Wei stood up, rubbing his fingers and wiping off the dried liquid that had just been dipped in.

"Captain Linwei......" Shatul hurriedly leaned forward.

Lin Wei interrupted him: "Don't worry about Wesk's affairs, you can place the cavalry of the Tulip family in the defense location, and then deal with your own affairs." ”

Although Shatur was puzzled, he still chose to obey Lin Wei's orders.
