Chapter 562: Judy's Hind Hand
Outside the city of Baiam, Abner flew at a very high speed towards the Winstu tribe in the southwest direction under the "red cloak".
It is worth mentioning that the "red cloak" is essentially different from those seals that have the characteristics of "living", and it is capable of self-learning...... For example, identifying maps.
Yes, Abner did not "command" it, but showed it the route planned on the map, and it automatically arrived at the destination with Abner, which is comparable to "autopilot" with navigation function.
After flying to the outskirts of the WinstΕ« tribe, Abner finally switched to "manual" driving and slowly landed on the ground.
And this flight, because he did a good job of protecting himself from the cold in advance, did not turn pale from the cold as he did when he was too late.
The Winstu tribe was built on the mountain, and there were two checkpoints in front of the tribe's walled gate, and there were many men with firearms on the high towers to keep vigil, and several cannons were erected on the walls of the stockade......
Looking at the overall defense system alone, it can definitely be regarded as easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is clear that there are people with formal military education who have given the indigenous guidance here.
However, after taking a closer look, Abner found that the seemingly tight system was full of loopholes, and the spirit of the rebel soldiers was also very loose, and several people who were clearly "secret sentinels" were still smoking......
"Sure enough, no matter how good the arrangement is, someone will carry it out......," after sighing in his heart, Abner pinched his chin and thought:
However, the loose mentality of the people in the tribe also means that nothing major has happened here, and life has been comfortable for a long time......
"So, Judy's problems shouldn't come from this tribe, but from somewhere else?"
Despite his initial judgment, Abner did not recklessly enter the stockade directly, but instead transformed into a "nightmare" into the dream of a rebel soldier who was dozing off.
β¦β¦
In a stilted house made of wooden stakes and empty on the ground floor, soldiers with short stripes painted in oil paint on their faces and arms are lying on a rocking chair woven of vines, eating fruit and enjoying the massage of three young girls.
Although the three girls had darker skin and different heights, they all had some resemblance to Miss Judy between their eyebrows and eyes.
"This is the soldier's dream? Well, the most luxurious life he had ever seen was probably that, and the prettiest woman he had ever seen was probably Miss Judy...... That's why I have dreams like this now. β
Seeing this scene, Abner analyzed it and walked into the small building on stilts, where he showed the image of "Judy" and politely asked the soldier:
"Excuse me, where is this young lady now?"
"She lives in the House of the Winds, next to the blacksmith'......" replied the soldier, still eating fruit, a little dullly.
House of Winds? Next to the blacksmith's shop? It seems that Judy was indeed not imprisoned, otherwise she would not have lived in what was clearly a living quarter...... In that case, why didn't she just go to me if she wanted to meet?
Nodding thoughtfully, Abner asked, still with a confirmed thought, "Has anyone restrained that young lady's movements?" β
"How is that possible? The young lady was a distinguished guest, and the elders had ordered us not to harass her. She wants to go anywhere, but she is not allowed to check or inquire...... Strangely enough, the young lady had rarely left the House of the Winds since she had returned two days earlier, and had only asked for a separate interrogation after catching the spy from the city. β
Spy? It must be Weaver's men, right? But...... Came back two days ago? Abner's heart moved, and he asked again, "When did that young lady come to the tribe?" Well, I mean the first time you met her. Also, where did she go after that? β
"That young lady arrived a week ago...... She was accompanied by a giant and a little white face......
"They had left the tribe four days before, and then, the day before yesterday, the young lady had come back alone.
"As for where it went, I don't know ......"
Giant? It should be captain Arsenov...... The little white face is eighty percent of what he said is Karen...... Are they the whole squad coming?
Well, as elite "desolators", most of the tasks they perform across borders will not be simple...... So, is the mission in danger? Want support? But that still doesn't explain why "Judy" didn't come to me directly.
After pondering for a moment, Abner asked, "When the young lady returned, didn't she do anything other than stay in the House of the Winds?" β
The soldier was stunned for a moment, as if reminiscing, and replied after a long time: "She seems to have asked Byam which detective is the most famous......"
What's going on? Could it be that Judy has amnesia? Only vaguely remember me? But in that case, she shouldn't be able to tell that Weaver is behind me!
Suspicious, Abner bowed and left the soldier's dream. Then he asked a few more sleeping tribesmen, but the answers were almost the same.
"It's basically confirmed that there is no ambush in the village...... It's just that Judy's behavior is a little strange, not at all like the 'Hanhan girl' I know......
"I always feel that the one who lives in the 'House of Wind' is a bit of a 'Buddhist' ......"
After complaining a few words in his heart, Abner still decided to go to "Judy's" appointment, after all, some questions can only be solved by asking them in person.
After turning on the "Pure White Eye" and carefully avoiding several occult traps, Abner successfully infiltrated the stockade with the help of "psychological stealth" and followed a patrolling soldier into the stockade.
According to the pattern asked in the dream, Abner easily found the only blacksmith shop in the tribe's stockade.
Skirting the extinguished furnace, he came to a wooden two-story house.
This is the "House of Winds", so named because of the holes in its roof, and the night wind always makes a "whining" sound when the night wind blows.
The people of the tribe believed that the wind was watching over the house, hence the name "House of the Wind".
Thinking back to the useless "knowledge" he had gained from his dream, Abner knocked lightly on the door.
After all, it is a house where girls live alone, and the other party is a "biologist" who holds many extraordinary items, so there may be a special arrangement, and if you rush in, even if you have pure white eyes, you may still be tricked.
There were footsteps in the house, but after waiting for nearly half a minute, there was no response, and just when Abner wanted to knock on the door again, a female voice came: "Who is it?" Abner? β
It was indeed Judy's voice...... But the tone is a little quiet, I have the impression that she is a girl who is in a hurry, and poisons the provocative person when she doesn't agree......
After all kinds of thoughts turned through his mind, Abner did not wait for her to open the door, but directly "walked through the door" and entered.
Inside the door, a girl with brown hair and a soft expression seemed to sense something, looked sideways, and then saw a man in a red cloak outlining her figure.
"Abner, you're finally here." The girl called out to him, and there was a slight fluctuation in her eyes.
Abner didn't answer, but looked at her with "pure white eyes" for a long time before asking, "What are you?" Why is she dressed as Judy? Where is the real her? β
According to the analysis results of "Pure White Eyes", the girl in front of her is not a person at all, but a tree of some kind.
The girl, who looked like Judy, tilted her head when she heard this, as if thinking again, and after a while, she said slowly: "I am a plant clone she made with magical items, so I look the same as her...... She was trapped under a cliff, and I was sent out by her before the barrier was closed, trying to find someone for help. β
Plant doppelgangers? Is the body a big tree? No wonder she speaks and does things slowly...... For a tree, perhaps this is her most actionable state.
Abner sneered a few words, frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on?" β
"I don't know......" the girl said, shaking her head lightly.
"Don't know? Aren't you her doppelganger? Abner asked, puzzled.
"Most of the memories she copied to me were intercepted by the barrier at the bottom of the valley......" Speaking of which, Judy's plant doppelganger girl looked at Abner seriously and said slowly, "Only the part about you is complete!" β
