Chapter 1248: The Truth That Is Gradually Revealed

"If you can't understand the monster, don't try to fight."

Sufficient experience allowed her to make the most appropriate choice.

If it was a creature with obvious intelligence, she might still try to trade and communicate, but this obviously wrong scene made her choose to remain invisible.

Even though she lost her sense of direction, she continued to move forward in silence.

With her ability and the supplies she brings with her, even if she spends a few days here, there will be no problem.

"Something is wrong with the fog."

With the strength of her feet, it was time to touch the boundaries of the city, even if she didn't run with all her strength and move at high speed (invisibly) for hours.

Then, most likely it is the "fog" that interferes with perception and direction, and also uses abilities such as hallucination to interfere with the field of vision.

"Sure enough, I've been here."

The carefully recorded scenery reappeared, and Hua Xueyi was sure that she had probably been tricked.

So, she used the "wayfinding stick (throw a stick to see the direction of falling)", and gave the direction to chance, maybe her vision will deceive her, but the "direction of the way" that keeps falling will always find a way out.

This time, it had a vague effect, at least the scenery was never repeated.

Finally, in the midst of the fog, she noticed something obviously wrong.

"There are still people alive here?"

She hesitated for a moment, according to past experience, "normal people" in very abnormal places are the most dangerous. But it seems, there is nowhere else to go.

She lowered her presence even further, slowly approaching her target.

She climbed up to the top of the building along the outer wall and carefully hung upside down, observing the life inside.

But soon, she found that her caution was a little too much, at least a few people in it didn't look like they were behind the scenes.

It was three numb ordinary people, roasting around a bonfire and examining dry food.

Two long-handed clans and one fish-man, who seem to be natives.

They were in good shape, and they seemed to have no worries about food and clothing, but their faces were quite ugly, and their faces were full of numbness and despair, as if they were waiting for death.

"Smack!"

Knowing that time waits for no one, Hua Xueyi immediately took action.

The sudden wind blew open the window, and the flying stone knocked over the water glass on the table, and when everyone's attention was attracted, the mercenary who walked in upside down dragged the youngest of them away.

"I ask, you answer."

The deliberately hoarse voice is still in the ears, and the bloody knife wound on the neck is the best "communication tool".

And this ordinary person, at the same time, was scared enough, and then his face was happy.

Perhaps, he has been waiting for this moment for a long time

"You, you're from outside, we've been waiting for a long time"

The other party knew everything and said everything, which made Hua Xueyi a little surprised, it seems that the other party is really not the mastermind behind the scenes, but an unlucky and lucky survivor.

"Diary, I have a diary here, I thought that no one would come in when I died, it was all written on it, we were all victims."

Hua Xueyi took the notebook, glanced at him vigilantly, and then disappeared into the shadows again.

But in reality, she's watching three survivors. Seeing that they hugged each other with joy on their faces after learning the news, as if they were really just victims, she slowly opened the notes.

After a slight second look, she frowned.

Obviously, this person is not highly educated, and uses simple and common Chinese characters, mixed with pinyin, and a bunch of incomprehensible descriptions.

But he did remember important things.

"There were homicides again, the people in the city were terrified, the victims were turned into dried corpses, lost their blood, as if they had been dead for a long time"

"The knights of the guards, they said they might be cultists, they said they were going to go from house to house, hey, I hope they can succeed."

The first half of the diary is quite normal, basically what Hua Xueyi heard, and it is also the most common trouble encountered in modern times.

A murderer appeared in the city, suspected of being a cult god, and the whole city began to search.

The normal development is that the guy is cunning and abnormal, killing all the way, almost super-god, and finally being easily defeated by the protagonist who happens to pass by if in the detective fantasy.

"The whole city has repeatedly checked, and in accordance with the anti-cult work manual, it has focused on those who are not in the right situation, such as those who suddenly become young and strong, those who suddenly disappear, those who have no job but have a large amount of money, and those who suddenly spend a lot of money."

The "police" in reality are often much more professional than the officials who clean up the battlefield in the detectives, and a series of combination punches are somewhat rewarding, and this time is even more outrageous.

"Found it, we found it, he called himself the 'Eternal', but he was actually a shoemaker, the old fish head of 62nd Street."

Such a development makes Hua Xueyi not know how to evaluate it.

But if there are really any cultists lurking in the crime, if you pull the net and search it in time, the unprofessional can really be caught. Next, is that guy getting away?

"The Eternals died, and he was hanged at the gates"

Well, it's too much to go with the flow, it's completely logical, since a dangerous element has been found that threatens everyone, it is natural to immediately execute him.

However, this was the beginning of the nightmare, he had been an ordinary shoemaker before, and he was seriously ill, and during the interrogation, he said that he had suffered "

The more she looked down, the more cold Hua Xueyi's vest became, and she couldn't bear it anymore.

"You guys, is it all real? Is there really a 'wish' treasure? Are you really stupid enough to make a wish? ”

At this moment, looking at the three people in front of her who nodded hurriedly, Hua Xueyi rubbed her eyebrows, and she was really happy now.

"The shoemaker died, but the 'treasure' he offered became a joke of all the time, and the newspapers reported on it, saying that it was a mutation of 'self-knowledge', but it was attributed to some strange treasure, a typical superstition."

It is said that it was a three-fingered fish-man with a severed hand, and as soon as it touched it, a voice would be heard in his ear, constantly asking, "What do you want?" ”

When the shoemaker was old and dying, he made a vow, "I want to live forever, in good health."

As a result, his wish was fulfilled, and he had the power to kill others and obtain the "life" of others, causing a series of bloody crimes.

When he was caught, it was also because of his obvious youthful changes, but in fact, he was still just an ordinary person, just a little stronger.

Many people's assumptions may be wrong, and if that fragment really exists, maybe it's not "life/death", but something even more incomprehensible.

That's the end of the diary, only mentioning that the severed hand was used as evidence, and a group of idlers who had nothing to do made a wish again.

"You guys. . . Who of you and what did you do? What did you wish for? Hua Xueyi squeezed out a smile to soothe people's hearts, but she was already on guard.

"At that time, the atmosphere in the city was very bad, many people blamed each other, and some people demanded that the government compensate the victims, and everyone quarreled every day. Someone, one of us makes a wish"

It was the place where the wish was made, and it was also the reason why the survivors survived.

I hope that everyone will stop arguing, and I hope that everyone can understand each other and be able to coexist peacefully all the time. And then, and then it blew up! Everyone blew up into a white mist."
