Goode looked at the agile figure of the hunchbacked monster weaving through the grass, and couldn't help but curse: "Damn! That guy has such a strange running position, how can he run so fast?"

"Lord Good!" said Dahl, who was behind Good, "we have chased five miles, and if we continue to reach the Mira Forest, we shall go back first." ”

"No, my gut tells me that this person must have something to do with the disappearance of the Forest Reconnaissance Team!" Goode said loudly as he ran, "The purpose of our coming out is to find clues, since the clues are right in front of us, how can I let them go?"

"But the guy was running too fast, and with our speed, not to say catch it, the distance seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. ”

"Tsk!h

"Drink!" shouted Goode, and the steel spear whistled out and flew towards the hunchbacked monster's vest. However, the hunchbacked monster still didn't look back, he seemed to have a back eye behind him, and when he saw that the steel gun was about to stab, the monster immediately bent on one foot, and then kicked, the whole person seemed to have a spring on his leg, and jumped onto the branch of a five-meter-high tree without looking back, and then jumped on the branch like a ninja and continued to run forward.

"Stop!" Goode finally stopped when he saw that a shot was missed, and then he saw the inscription "Mira Forest, danger!" carved on a mossy stone tablet erected in the grass.

"Lord Good!" At this time, Dahl and the others also stopped with Goode, and hurriedly asked, "What is that guy, how can an ordinary person jump onto a five-meter-high tree at once?"

Goode was also amazed by this, and felt very hesitant to see the hunchbacked strange man jumping on a branch and fleeing into the forest of Mira.

But. Since it is impossible to chase it on his own, there will be no result if he is reluctant to continue, after all, in front of him is the Mira Forest, where monsters are entrenched, and even Gude, who has always been arrogant, does not dare to step into it for half a step. Besides, it's already late at night. Continuing to go deeper like this will only lead everyone to a dangerous place, Goode feels that of course it doesn't matter if he dies, but he can't drag his subordinates into the water, after rational analysis, Goode said to his subordinates: "It's not appropriate for us to continue to chase, let's go back first." ”

The crowd received Goode's order. Walking in the direction of Xingyao City together, there was nothing special along the way, but everyone looked sullen, and after almost a whole day of searching, they couldn't find any clues. Who can be happy?

Starlight City, inside the Patriarch's room.

Jed said with a serious face: "I think there may be something big happening to our Montessori clan in the near future!"

"Brother means that the Montessori clan is in danger?" Rose couldn't help but chill when she saw Jed's worried look.

"It doesn't have to be a robbery!" Jed immediately smiled when he heard Rose say this, changed the subject, and said to Rose: "Let me ask you, what would you do if Chen Fan, Luo Qingyun and the others chose to leave now?"

"I ......," Rose heard the question. I didn't know how to answer for a while.

Of course, he really wanted to be with Chen Fan and them, but if Chen Fan really chose to leave, then he should leave with him. Although it is very dangerous outside, she will feel very safe with Chen Fan here. But then again, he was reluctant to leave Jed, and the thought of separating from his brother made Rose's heart feel an indescribable soreness.

Jade saw that Rose had been silent for a long time without answering, and he probably guessed what Rose was thinking. Knowing the contradiction between wanting to leave and not wanting to leave, she said, "Rose." You know what? You're my only sister, and as an older brother, you should think of your sister. ”

"Brother. I ......"

Jade nodded, made a stop gesture, interrupted Rose's words, and then said: "Although you are the witch of Star Glory City, and you are burdened with the so-called mission of protecting the Montessori clan, but as Miss Luo said, those things are imposed on others after all, if you feel happy and happy with Brother Chen, I will secretly assist you to leave Star City." ”

Rose's eyes were red, and she hurriedly said, "But brother, if I leave, won't it have an impact on the Montessori clan?"

"Of course it will, but these effects are only temporary, and over time, people will gradually forget," Jade said, "At that time, everyone will choose a new Star Maiden, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

"Won't my brother miss me?"

"I?haha......" Jade laughed, "The ghost will miss you, I am the patriarch now, the patriarch's affairs are very busy, if I don't have you, or I will be a lot easier!"

"Brother......" Of course Rose knew what Jade said, but she just didn't want to worry about herself.

"Rose, I remember my father once said that there are many paths in life, if you want to live a happy life, you must choose the path you think is right, do you understand?"

Rose nodded, and two lines of hot tears finally overflowed her eyes and slowly flowed down her cheeks.

Jade walked over, touched Rose's head, then wiped the tears from Rose's face with his sleeve, and said with a smile: "When I was young, I used to wipe your tears like this, remember?"

Rose held back the tears in her eyes and nodded softly.

Jade smiled, like coaxing a child, and said, "Okay, don't cry anymore, it's not beautiful to cry again, we agreed that the next time we meet, I'll bring you some delicious candy, okay?"

Rose forced a smile and said, "You think I'm still a kid?"

"Haha......" Jade smiled, returned to his seat, and said to Rose: "Okay, it's too early to cry now, we don't know if the Chen Fan brothers really chose to leave, if he chooses to stay, then these tears will be in vain." ”

Rose smiled and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve and nodded.

"Don't worry about the murder, I, as the patriarch, can handle it, so you can go back and rest now. ”

Rose understood what Jade was thinking. So while retreating to the door, he said, "Then don't worry too much about my brother, Rose will go back first." ”

"Hmm!" Jade nodded, watching Rose walk out of the room and muttering to herself, "Father." Is this what you want?"

On the autumn night, the sky is high and the dew is thick, a crescent moon hangs quietly in the southwest sky, the cold moonlight sprinkles the earth, it is so gloomy, but the stars of the Milky Way are more and more brilliant.

One o'clock in the morning. At midnight, all the tribesmen had already fallen asleep, and when the lights of the ten thousand homes were extinguished, the lamp in the patriarch's room was still lonely on the castle tower, and Rhodes was sitting in his room looking for anything suspicious in the autopsy report.

"Knock knock!" There were three knocks on the door outside.

"Who is it?" Rod asked reflexively, awakened by a knock on the door.

"Rod, it's me!"

"Good?" Rhodes looked a little surprised, and quickly replied, "The door is not locked, you can come in." ”

Goode took his spear, pushed open the door and walked in, and sat down on the bench leaning against the wall, as if he didn't take Rhodes seriously at all. But Rhodes didn't blame Goode for that. He saw that Goode looked tired, so he asked, "Goode, why are you only coming back now?"

"Actually. I came back late in the evening with my brothers. Goode took a breath and replied, "After that, I went out on patrol outside the city myself to see if anything strange happened. ”

"And what did you find tonight?" Rod ostensibly asked about tonight, but in fact he asked if Goode's investigation had found anything during the day, but when he heard Goode say, "Come back in the evening and go out again", he knew that the morning's search had yielded nothing.

Goode replied, "Except for seeing a hunchbacked weirdo in the evening." There is nothing to show up. ”

"Hunchbacked weirdos, walking alone in the forest at night?"

"Not only that, that guy ran into the Mira Forest!"

"Tell me more about it. ”

"Here's the thing......" Goode told Rod everything he had seen today.

Rod asked in shock, "You mean that the man tore the tiger's belly open with his hands." And then eat its entrails?"

Of course, Rhodes wasn't surprised that this man would do such a thing. It's that the method used by this person is completely consistent with the method of killing the deceased found in Beicheng, so I can't help but be surprised.

At this time, Goode didn't know about the corpse in Beicheng, so he just thought that Rhodes was just frightened by this terrible "way of eating", so he said: "You can sound unbelievable, right? But this is what I saw with my own eyes, and I didn't expect that there are such terrible people in the world, and I also think it's terrifying." ”

"No, that's not what my surprise meant!" Rhodes handed the autopsy report to Goode and said, "You will understand from this post-mortem report that the body was found in the North City. ”

Goode took the report, roughly flipped through it, and after reading it, the whole person couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said: "How can this be, this way of death is basically the same as that tiger." ”

"So I suspect that this murder should have been committed by one person. Rod said solemnly: "And this person may be the weirdo you see." ”

"Damn!" Goode gritted his teeth and remorseful, "If I could have caught him then, all the problems would have been solved." ”

"Forget it, don't blame yourself too much!" Rod comforted: "Listen to you, this person can not only jump to a height of five meters at once, but also can be self-inflicted in the Mira Forest, it can be seen that this person must not be an ordinary person, and it is not a thing worth repenting for not being caught, at least now because of your discovery, the murder has become clearer, and it is already worth congratulating." ”

"Then I tell the other brothers to be careful, I will also go and continue the patrol, that guy can kill a tiger by himself, he is not an idle person. Goode said, and immediately picked up the steel gun and prepared to walk out the door.

"Goode, wait a minute. ”

"What's the matter?"

"It's late at night, you've had a hard day, why don't you go home and rest. ”

"That's not good, I feel a sense of frustration when I can't catch it for a day," Goode said, "Besides, if I don't work harder, how can I be worthy of the title of 'General' that you gave me?"

Rod smiled and said, "Then trouble you, General Good!"

Goode smiled slightly, turned around and was about to walk out the door.

"Ah......h

Hearing the screams, Rod didn't say a word, picked up the silver dragon and rushed out with Goode. (To be continued)
