The town that was still populated in the past is now a human being.

A large part of the wall where the militia was stationed was torn down, as if a behemoth had entered the town along the gap.

He crouched down and keenly noticed a dry bloodstain behind the wall: "Luojia, can you tell when this is bloodstain?"

"About two months ago. ”

Luo Jia was a little uncertain, "If it weren't for this rainstorm, I would have guessed more accurately. ”

"That is, two months ago, there were still living people here"

Leon was the first to enter the town, followed by Loga.

"I just don't know if it's an outsider or a local resident. ”

They searched the perimeter, and soon, Lorgar picked up a piece of metal in a patch of grass: "It should be a fragment of a silver sword, but it doesn't have to be a witcher, it could also be a judge knight of the church - there is a blood stain here, the same time as the previous one." ”

"After leaving Silent Hill, I informed the nearby church of what happened here, and it seems that they did take action, but it is clear that the operation ended in failure. ”

Even now, when he recalls the scene when he faced the unspeakable ghost, he still feels a chill down his spine.

In the past six months, almost every time he has been promoted, he will subconsciously think of how to deal with that fierce spirit when he returns to Silent Hill.

It wasn't until he finally had a certain certainty that he could face the demon in his heart and defeat it that he chose to return to Silent Hill.

...

The rain has not abated in the slightest, and it looks likely to fall all night.

Two puppet horses stood far behind them, acting as Leon's eyes and ears, also looking around.

They couldn't find the body, but this was expected by Leon, because the monster he saw that night was clearly made up of countless human bodies.

They found a silver cross in the grass, as well as a cross-shaped badge, which was enough to prove that it was a group of referee knights who had come to the town two months earlier.

These knights roamed the Catholic world, often hanging heretics and wild witches, but more often killing innocents, which is notorious.

But they do have real exorcism abilities, and whether they are dealing with demons or evil spirits, they are much better than half-baked exorcists like Malove.

"Luojia, do you have the ability to deal with evil spirits in your undead school?"

"Barely - it's my eighth ghostface, the ogre, but it's clear that it's useless against the kind of evil spirit you mentioned. ”

"I thought you undead schools could manipulate the dead. ”

"The undead are not the dead, I told you a long time ago, we are completely different things!"

Just then, there was a commotion at the entrance to the town.

Leon sighed lightly, "It seems that the exorcist failed to stop his employer. ”

Roga was surprised, "I can't understand their thoughts - the presence of two witchers at the same time doesn't prove the danger here"

Leon was noncommittal, "There's no shelter from the rain nearby, and it's raining so hard - and it's because there are two witchers in this town that they feel safe." ”

"Huh. ”

Luo Jia couldn't help but sneer: "When will the witcher be used as a protector again?"

Following Li Ang to the north and south, he is no longer a rookie, and he has an understanding of the situation of demon hunters.

Since the witchers live in pursuit of demons, where there are demons, they are often there, so in the eyes of the vast majority of people, the witchers are more like the embodiment of doom than the mourning birds.

Ordinary people are often afraid to avoid it, but this group of people "rises to the challenge", I really don't know what they think.

A caravan scout on a horse, and an exorcist with a pot-bellied merchant quickly approached the two.

Li Ang frowned and said, "Exorcist, didn't I warn you to get out of here?"

Malov's face flushed, and he said, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but ...... Forget it, Mr. Minovich, you should talk to these two witchers. ”

The pot-bellied businessman glanced contemptuously at the ashamed Malov.

Those who retain shame are often neither rich nor able to make a difference in positions of power.

"Two esteemed witchers, although we are afraid of those spooky ghosts, this bad weather has forced us to find a place to shelter from the rain. ”

Li Ang didn't reply, just stared coldly.

The pot-bellied merchant didn't feel embarrassed at all, he straightened out the fisherman's hat that had been crooked by the wind, and said with a smile: "I believe that you two will be able to solve the hidden danger here easily, and at the same time, I will also testify to your two clients that you have worked twice as hard and deserve more remuneration." ”

Leon sneered, "Thank you so much, but I'm sorry that no one commissioned us here." ”

Minovich was stunned and said in an accentuated tone: "Demon Hunter, if you want to trick me into paying an extra gratuity for this, this is definitely not a wise move!"

One commission receives two honorariums, this witcher is really treacherous!

As for the fact that these two men volunteered to deal with the evil spirits

What are you kidding, the witchers have changed careers to become saints these years

"Businessman, don't you understand what I said, no one pays us a gratuity, this is completely our voluntary behavior, so we are willing to solve the problem whenever we want, and even turn around and run away in the face of danger in the next second, it is also a matter of course. ”

Leon said in a tone that could not be denied: "Don't expect us to protect you, now, disappear from my face immediately!"

Minovic's eyes widened, and the answer was very different from what he had expected.

"Pavilion... Excellency. ”

He tried to adjust his facial expression, trying to keep smiling: "How much will you pay if you want to entrust your attention to protect us tonight?"

Li Ang glanced at him and said contemptuously, "You can't afford it." ”

"The Countess of Windsor Castle has paid us a reward of four hundred and fifty large gold coins for the murder of a white-maned bat who is wreaking havoc in her territory, and the monsters here are ten times more powerful than the white-maned bat - so I suggest you leave as soon as possible, and I will say so. ”

With that, he and Lorgar walked deeper into the town.

Minovich couldn't help but mutter, "The witchers are really a bunch of bastards who only recognize money. ”

Malov frowned, "yes, just like you." ”

Minovich didn't think it was and said: "Are the ghosts here really as evil as the two of them say, could it be that the treasures hidden by the villagers here, these two guys want to be alone, so they deliberately tricked us into leaving"

Malouf shook his head: "Tudo can testify to me, we first dealt with a little one, but immediately ushered in a lantern evil spirit - and that is only the outskirts of the town, God knows how many abominable ghosts and evil spirits hide here." ”

Minovich let out a long sigh: "Forget it, let's leave, God has not blessed me, this time I go back, I must return the tribute to the church!"

Malov was surprised: "You don't worry about your goods anymore"

"Money is good, but it has to be spent. ”

Minovich shrugged: "If I die, the savings I have saved for half my life will definitely be cheaper for Elena and the little white face she raised." ”

Malov couldn't help but look sideways: "I really didn't think that such open-minded words could come out of your mouth." ”

Minovic was a little self-conscious: "Businessmen are supposed to be careful, but what is already doomed to loss – what I call sunk costs – must be cut off." ”

Malov sighed, "No one wants to listen to your business history, those two witchers saved our lives, and you have that attitude. ”

They commanded the caravan to turn around, and Tudo rode his horse, fulfilling his duty, and leaving the town first.

But as soon as he stepped out of the town, he realized that the scene in front of him was different from before.

He rubbed his eyes, convinced that what was happening in front of him was not his own delusion.

Before his eyes, he saw the grumbling hired men loading the wagons with the goods they had just unloaded, and Minovich and Malov walking together out of town.

The next moment, the two appeared beside him.

He looked at this scene, which was completely beyond his comprehension, his face turned pale, and under the pouring rain, he stammered: "Mr. Malov, we can't seem to get out." ”

...

Leon took off his boots lined with raw blanks and roasted them by the fire, only to realize that the tool of the Constant Cleansing Technique had lost its effect because it had not been recharged for too long.

So in the days that followed, he had to endure the wind and dust of the long journey.

If he had found out a day earlier, he would have asked the merfolk witch Fionaz to recharge his batteries.

At this moment, the sound of dense footsteps gradually approached.

Someone stood outside the door, shouting tentatively, "Your Excellency, two witchers, are you there?"

It was the voice of the fat merchant.

"You're not gone yet"

Li Ang pushed open the door and looked at the group of people whose faces were full of panic and uneasiness, and felt that he had really encountered a desperate person who wanted money.

"It's not that we don't want to go, it's that the owner here doesn't want us to leave......"

Minovic's voice trembled a little, and he recounted what had happened.

Li Ang said in a flat tone: "In that case, you can only ask for more blessings, but I can warn you that as long as you see any demons and monsters tonight, even if it is a terrifying scene, don't make the slightest noise—if any of you sleep enough to die, there is a good chance that you will be able to survive tonight safely." ”

Minovic subconsciously asked: "What happens if it makes a noise?"

"I'm going to die. ”

Leon grinned, as if he were grinning.

In the darkness, Minovich could only see the witcher's mouth slowly open and close, and utter the words that frightened him: "Surely death!"
