Chapter 6: Lies
"What?!" Alan and Jingchen couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly walked over. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"You see, the devil dog's claws are much smaller than the paw prints on this door, and the gap between the nails is much narrower than the one on the door. ā
When Alan heard this, he immediately ran to the larger demon dog that Jingchen had killed, pouted one of its claws with his hands and feet, and then compared it with the paw prints on the door.
As one laugh says, the difference is huge.
"How can this be?!" the three of them looked at each other and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"Oh, since the mission says kill three dogs, then don't we just complete the mission?
"I always felt that something was wrong, and I wanted to go inside and have a look. Yixiao took out the bounty order and looked at it, and said. "The employer didn't leave a contact number, presumably because the family was too poor to use a phone, and I always felt that the family should not be able to pay so much to hire us. ā
"Why are you still struggling with this?"
Brother Yixiao was reasonable, and the little monk also felt a little strange. Although the little monk Jingchen looked a little wooden on the outside, he was actually quite thoughtful, and he had already felt something strange before killing the three dogs. "You see the inside of this door is locked, and you can't open it. But through this paw print, it can be seen that there seem to be signs of a fight inside the house, and the three dogs are wandering outside, which is obviously not caused by them. ā
"Jingchen, why don't you ......" Alan actually knew that something was wrong, but he just didn't want to cause more trouble, he had already completed the task, why did he meddle in his affairs and do things other than the task?
"Brother Allen, we might as well go in and have a look, and if the employer is hiding inside and doesn't dare to come out, we might as well tell him that the threat has been removed. ā
"Well, since you all say so, I don't care. ā
"Is anyone there? We're demon hunters, the demon dogs have been destroyed, you can come out!" Yixiao knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside. He put his ear to the door panel and listened for a long time, and it was surprisingly quiet inside, and it seemed that there was no one.
A smile took a few steps back, and a run-up kicked his right leg hard, and the wooden door was kicked open at once. The collapsed door panel slapped on the ground, stirring up a thick layer of dust. smiled and fanned it with his hand, this house must have not been cleaned for some days.
The family is really as poor as Yixiao imagined. There was no decent furniture at all, the tables, chairs and benches had been dismantled into pieces of wood and scattered all over the ground by strange forces, and the dishes that had fallen off the patent leather were broken into several pieces, and it was impossible to see what they were. The walls and ceiling also had the same paw prints on the door panels, and even flesh could be seen embedded in the scratches.
The stench of rotting corpses filled the room, and the three of them continued on their way, finally finding a spot in a room deep inside the house. Inside, on the wooden bed, lay a male corpse, with a hideous face, round eyes, and no eyes to die. His torso was dismembered, his internal organs were thrown to the ground, blood splattered everywhere, and his death was horrifying.
Seeing this, Alan couldn't help but feel a little sick, and Jingchen hurriedly lowered his head and recited Amitabha Buddha silently.
But Yixiao was extremely accustomed to this kind of scene, and even had a sense of intimacy, he stepped forward to look at the man's face on the rotten and smelly internal organs, compared it with the photo of the employer on the bounty order, and found that the two were indeed the same person, and shook his head helplessly.
"Looks like the other half of the bounty is gone. ā
The afternoon sun shone through the window of the room, and with the help of the bright smile, he found two unclear footprints in the pool of blood, one large and one small, not stained with blood, as if they had been stepped on before the tragedy. Two footprints stretched one after the other towards the corridor outside the door. The trio immediately followed it, only to see footprints pass through the hallway into the kitchen, where they disappeared into a corner of the kitchen.
Yixiao lay on the floor to take a closer look, only to see an inconspicuous handle on the wooden floor, he gestured to Alan with his eyes, then grabbed it hard, took a deep breath, and jerked the handle up.
Alan at the same time aimed his gun under the floor, but nothing happened.
Although it was dark underneath, it was still possible to see it with the help of a faint light, and it was just a cellar for storing food.
Just as Yixiao was about to go down the ladder to check on the situation, a heart-rending scream came from the cellar.
"Ahhh!!h
Girls' voices?!
The nerves of the three of them tensed instantly, and with a smile, they took out Alex's mobile phone for lighting and climbed down first. Grain and miscellaneous items were piled up in the dark cellar, and the girl's voice abruptly stopped as the three of them descended.
Yixiao held his mobile phone and searched slowly, and after looking for a long time, he finally saw a newspaper in a pile of grains, and the newspaper was still trembling. A smile cautiously walked over, gently pinched the newspaper with two fingers, and slowly lifted it.
I saw a girl dressed in red hiding in the middle of the grain pile, and when I saw a smile, I let out a piercing scream.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we're not demons. Jingchen walked over and saluted the girl. "Can you tell us what's going on?"
Strange to say, Jingchen seems to have a kind of magic, kind eyebrows, and very kind-hearted, he can make everyone see that he is a good person at first sight. The girl's frightened expression quickly dissipated and her emotions calmed down. But as if he was a little frightened, he just refused to speak.
Alan and Jingchen were constantly comforting the girl, hoping to learn something from her mouth.
And Yixiao found a diary on the floor next to the grain pile, and with the help of the light of his mobile phone, he began to flip through the pages:
July 10th. It's been almost a week since the demons harassed my house. Every night we bang on the door, my daughter and I are so frightened that we can't sleep, and we really hope that the nightmare will go away soon.
July 12th. I saw it! I finally saw it through the window! There were three demon dogs and a floating ghost hovering around my house! Oh my God! Are we really going to die?!
July 15th. I couldn't take it anymore, and during the day I sold all the valuable things in my house, scraped together two thousand five hundred yuan, and went to the Dawn Demon Hunter Guild to hang up a D-class bounty. I know that the quest with ghosts is at least B-class, but ...... But I really don't have that much money, I can only scrape together enough for the D-class bounty. I'm sorry Demon Hunter, this was the first lie I told in my life. Hopefully, the D-class bounty is just a good thing like killing three demon dogs to get you to come over quickly, I know I'm selfish, but I just can't stand it.
July 16. The ghosts seem to have known that I was seeking help from the demon hunters, and their harassment of us intensified. Now they are actually banging on the door during the day, and the demon hunter has not yet come, and our father and daughter can't hold on anymore. Maybe these demons will disperse after killing someone. I hid my baby daughter in the cellar and asked her to take this diary with her. I hope the demon hunters will see my apologies, I just hope for my daughter to survive now, may God bless her.
I smiled and turned the page again, and found that there was a blank sheet of paper behind it.
He finally understood everything, and all doubts were solved in an instant. He should have been relieved, but his hair stood on end at this time, and his scalp was numb.
"Alan, Jingchen, hurry up and take this little girl, let's get out of here!"
Although the two of them didn't know what they had discovered when they smiled, they knew that something big had happened by looking at the look on his face when he spoke. Alan picked the girl out of the pile and followed the others back the way they came.
Everyone had just climbed the ladder to the kitchen when they heard an evil wind blowing outside. It's obviously a hot summer afternoon, but it makes people feel a chill seeping into the bone marrow, making people unable to move.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the direction of the living room, like a cold voice from the eighteenth layer of hell.
"Fresh and warm flesh, um~~ It's delicious, I smell it. ā
