Chapter 11: The Old-fashioned Trail Ambush
On this forest path, the breeze caresses the wildflowers along the roadside.
I don't know who gave the supernatural powers, although it was summer, but there was a scene of recovery of everything around, and the change of seasons didn't seem to be very obvious here.
The forest next to the road is lush and green, and the birds and insects in the forest are singing, and although it is deep and does not have the slightest sense of danger, you can't help but want to go in and have a look.
It's the season to play.
But the boys and girls walking on this trail are not here to play, to be precise, they are here to go on a blind date.
Lu Yi wanted to ask Yuan Han and Yuan Xuan what kind of monsters they were at this time, he had killed many monsters since he was a child, and naturally he had seen more monsters, but he was now sure that he had never met monsters like Yuan Han and Yuan Xuan.
Not just their race, but also because of their demeanor.
Although the monster is transformed into a human form, it is not a human after all, they live as a human being, and their behavior will generally seem a little stiff, even if it is the Kinoshita Hui they killed, a B-class monster, if it weren't for the fact that they are not familiar with the human body, they don't have the slightest chance at all.
But in the case of the two brothers and sisters, he couldn't see the slightest abnormality, and if no one told him, he would never be able to see that they were monsters.
Yuan Han and Lin Xia seemed to be chatting very well, but Lu Yi and Yuan Xuan didn't know what to talk about for a long time, they both knew that the other party wouldn't answer the questions they wanted to ask, and the two looked a little embarrassed along the way.
Yuan Han, who was walking in front, suddenly looked back at Lu Yi.
Yuan Han said with some familiarity: "Now I can only call you buddy, and I will cover you if there is something in the future." β
Lu Yi looked at Lin Xia, who had an expression that didn't care about himself, and thought to himself, I won't be your brother-in-law in the future.
Lu Yi thought about Mr. Lin, and then thought that if Lin Xia really brought Yuan Han, a little rascal, home, he shouted again: Dad, this little gangster is the son-in-law that his daughter brought back for you.
It must have been a wonderful scene.
Yuan Han saw that Lu Yi didn't react for a long time, thinking that he thought he was joking, or didn't care about his words.
Yuan Han added: "I'm serious. β
Lu Yi came back to his senses and responded.
Yuan Han looked a little unhappy and said, "Why are you like a log?"
Lu Yi apologized: "I'm sorry, I think things will be a little distracted." β
"You've got to get a break in this habit. β
"Why?"
"Because if I were a girl, I would be very upset just now. β
Lu Yi was a little puzzled.
Yuan Han continued: "If you do this, you will beat a bachelor in the future." β
Lu Yi understood and said, "But you're not a girl." β
Yuan Han was speechless, and said angrily: "That's also very rude!"
Lu Yi was very strange and said, "Didn't I say I'm sorry?"
The tone of this sentence is very cheap and innocent, I was rude to you, I apologized, what else do you want, what else can you do.
Yuan Han held his forehead, felt a breath of stuffiness in his chest, and finally held back a word: "Grass!"
The two women on the side looked at the two of them with great interest, I don't know why, watching Yuan Han eat deflated makes people feel comfortable.
......
......
Yuan Han kept talking to Lu Yi all the way, or the quarrel was more appropriate, and he had already left Lin Xia aside.
But no matter what he said, Yuan Han would be blocked back by Lu Yi, which made Yuan Han very uncomfortable.
Lin Xia on the side is almost unbearable, do you let him die at once?
And Lu Yi didn't have this kind of consciousness at all, in fact, he didn't find it at all, because what he said was exactly what he thought, but Yuan Han didn't approve of it.
In Lu Yi's opinion, this was just an ordinary chat.
And Yuan Han was holding back at this time, if it weren't for Lu Yi is cousin Lin Xia's face, he would have rushed up and smoked him a long time ago.
The topic of argument between the two is also getting more and more crooked.
"According to what you say, it makes sense for you to go on a date?" Yuan Han almost shouted.
"Why not?"
"Why can?!"
"You and I are willing, to meet each other's physiological needs, there is no money transaction, can't you?"
Yuan Han said angrily: "Dating can't be considered a transaction, can something related to sex be considered a transaction......
The group was full of cheerful atmosphere on the way.
Lu Yi thought to himself, how could this sentence be so familiar.
......
......
Yuan Han was incoherent, but was interrupted by Yuan Xuan.
"Shut up!"
Yuan Xuan, who was walking behind the three, pointed to the grass on the side of the road.
She wasn't referring to the grass.
Lu Yi looked at the place Yuan Xuan was pointing at and fell silent.
Yuan Han was also silent.
Not far from the trail, there was a man lying there.
A corpse, to be exact.
......
......
The atmosphere dropped to freezing point in an instant.
Lin Xia walked over to the corpse and touched the corpse's neck.
It was a man who had the appearance of a European, very young, blonde and blue-eyed, who did not know what he had seen before he died, and whose face was supposed to be handsome was distorted by excessive fright, and it looked palpitating.
Lin Xia looked back at the three of them: "The body is still warm, there are no injuries on the body, and the neck is broken." β
Everyone was suffocated, and the body was still warm, indicating that the murderer did not go too far, and the body was not injured, and the neck was directly broken, indicating that the murderer was very strong.
so strong that the deceased didn't have time to react at all.
And Yuan Xuan said that the people who come here are geniuses, ordinary geniuses.
Lu Yi asked, "Can you see what kind of monster it is?"
Lin Xia shook his head, the monster that died instantly in human form couldn't tell the race at all with visual inspection, if he had made some resistance, it could still be deduced based on clues.
Yuan Xuan said with a comforting tone: "Don't worry too much, it doesn't have to be someone with an admission letter." β
Lin Xia's mood was slightly relieved, there were already many students in this school before this, and most of the monster families were in this enchantment, and the dead person might just be a small minion.
Lin Xia asked, "Yuan Xuan, is this road the only way from the entrance of the barrier to the school?" β
Yuan Xuan's dark eyes moved slightly, and he said, "Yes." β
Lin Xia bowed his head and was silent, this is a necessary way, he and Lu Yi are the last batch of students, and they just happened to die on this road.
If this is a coincidence, it is too coincidental, and what is even more coincidental is that he happened to meet Yuan Han and Yuan Xuan who were waiting on the platform.
Thinking of this, Lin Xia felt a little chilled.
Lin Xia glanced at Lu Yi, he was thinking about something.
Yuan Xuan looked at Lin Xia, as if she had guessed what she was thinking, she didn't explain anything, but silently distanced herself from Lin Xia.
This was also what Lin Xia wanted, and she slowly leaned towards Lu Yi, because her sword and charm were in his bag.
As the atmosphere froze, a faint sound came from the bushes next to it.
"Help me. β
Lin Xia was startled, and instantly jumped to Lu Yi's side, and pulled out a charm and a wooden sword beside Cong Bao.
Yuan Xuan walked to the source of the sound, and a man covered in blood was lying in the bushes.
Yuan Xuan didn't look at it a few more times, turned around and said, "He needs water." β
Lin Xia was on guard, and no one accosted.
Yuan Xuan stood up, walked towards the forest, and said, "I'll go find water." β
Lin Xia sneered, it would be too mentally retarded to try to deceive us.
Lu Yi suddenly spoke: "It's too dangerous to be alone, I'll go with you." β
Lin Xia suddenly felt that saying that Lu Yi was wood could be regarded as lifting him, and she desperately pulled the corner of Lu Yi's clothes to remind him, but Lu Yi didn't feel it, and followed Yuan Xuan towards the forest.
Lin Xia was a little desperate, but she didn't dare to block it too much, at such a close distance, she was afraid that she would be killed on the spot if she was too excited.
The figures of Yuan Xuan and Lu Yi disappeared into the depths of the jungle.
Yuan Han, who had not spoken, suddenly smiled evilly at Lin Xia and said, "Look, your cousin really hooked up with my sister." β
A chill rushed from the soles of Lin Xia's feet to his head.
......
......
Yuan Xuan and Lu Yi walked in the forest one after the other, and the broken sunlight sprinkled on their faces through the trees.
Except for the occasional chirping of insects and birds, the only sound was the rustle of two people stepping on the grass and bushes.
Yuan Xuan suddenly stopped and turned to face Lu Yi.
The cicada noise forest is quiet, and the birdsong mountain is more secluded.
Yuan Xuan turned around and said, "Why did you come out with you?"
Lu Yi's voice was very calm, and he said, "If one more person comes out, there will be less pressure over there." β
Lu Yi finally confirmed that his judgment seemed to be correct.
The two stood silently, and a rustle sounded all around.
Four figures appeared in the forest.
The first one said, "Two, how did you find out?"
Lu Yi looked at the four people, three men and one woman, all of whom were Caucasian in appearance, about twenty years old, and all four of them were wearing blue clothes, as if they were some kind of uniform.
The man in charge is now very puzzled why these two people did not suspect each other, and even came out together, which made this plan a big variable.
Lu Yi looked at the man coldly and said, "Because if Yuan Xuan was with you, then he wouldn't have used such a shoddy way to leave the mountain." β
Yes, Yuan Xuan just glanced at the person, and concluded that the injured person needed water, and then turned around and left.
Lu Yi thinks this is very unreasonable.
If Yuan Xuan wasn't with the attackers, then this would be a hint.
Now it seems that Lu Yi made the right bet.
The man in the lead also figured this out, and couldn't help but glance at the two of them and said, "Two, isn't it more dangerous to be separated?"
"You're so uninspired. Yuan Xuan shook his head and said, "Your target should be Lu Yi and Lin Xia, they are the last people to come." β
The man in charge no longer concealed it and said, "Yes." β
Yuan Xuan still shook his little head and said, "Then you shouldn't have thought that we would come with them, right?"
The man who took the lead acquiesced.
Yuan Xuan looked a little smug and smiled: "Then now that the two of them are separated, you will also be divided into two groups, which is more dangerous for you." β
The man in the lead was speechless, because Yuan Xuan was right, if he was divided into two sides, he would not be able to control the overall situation at the same time, which would be even more fatal to his own side.
Seeing that Yuan Xuan, who had guessed correctly, he was even more excited, and continued: "Then those two injured people are also your people." β
The man in charge, who had been calm, finally had a mood swing and said, "One of them is dead. β
Yuan Xuan was even more excited, and said: "This kind of thing is a white bone spirit, even if it is in human form, how can it be dead if you break your neck." β
The man in the lead was puzzled.
Yuan Xuan explained: "It's the skeleton monster you are talking about. β
The man in charge said, "This is not evidence. β
"These two people are just the same as the ones they put on for us to see, of course suspicious. Yuan Xuan said in a hurried tone: "And after you appeared, you deliberately wore the same clothes, didn't you just want to tell us that you were not in the same group as the two people lying on the ground?"
The man who took the lead now realizes that he has made a big mistake and underestimated this little girl too much.
Originally, it was found that Yuan Han's brother and sister followed Lu Yi and Lin Xia, and they temporarily changed their plan, letting the two of them pretend to be attacked, and waited until their own group appeared to confront them, and the two who fell to the ground were taken by surprise and killed Lu Yi and Lin Xia directly.
Yuan Han and Yuan Xuan are not targets, and there is no need for them to make enemies everywhere, just retreat directly when the time comes.
It's crude, even naΓ―ve, old-fashioned, but it works.
As long as you can keep the four of them there, the odds of success will be great.
But unfortunately, Yuan Xuan guessed it, and Lu Yi also understood.
The man in charge couldn't help but sigh: "Amazing." β
Yuan Xuan didn't have the consciousness of being in crisis at all, and said: "By the way, I just saw you come out and determined that the two injured people were with you. β
The man in charge raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Teach." β
Yuan Xuan said with a smile: "My brother is actually not stupider than me. β
The man in charge finally couldn't control his expression.
Yuan Xuan looked at the reaction of the man in charge and said with a smile: "So once the people you left over there appear in uniform, my brother will definitely not hesitate to step on the two people lying on the ground." β
The summer breeze is coming, and the grass and trees are swaying.
The shadow of the twig shook over the face of the man in charge, as cloudy as his expression.
