When Qi Gefei didn't know how many times he swung the black iron sword and used the sword wind to sweep away a large area of vegetation and open up a convenient path for walking, Wu Ming and his party finally got out of the mountains and forests that were easy to distinguish between southeast and northwest, and came to the country path leading to the destination town.

As soon as he came out of the bushes, he saw two old acquaintances.

Yo! Isn't this the Ao Bald and the Old Hunter?

Wu Ming's greeting immediately diverted the attention of the two who were talking, and they turned their heads almost at the same time to see Wu Ming, who had just come out of the mountains and woods.

Otto first looked surprised, and then when he heard him call himself, he immediately showed an expression of anger that did not dare to speak.

And Alex's eyes also flashed a hint of surprise, but it was quickly replaced by a hideous smile, he opened his arms and walked quickly towards Wu Ming, like a huge bear standing up by a person, and gave the latter a big bear hug: Brother, how are you doing lately since you haven't seen you for a while?

Fortunately, there was a business trip a while ago Wu Ming looked at the transparent shield that was pressed by Alex's bear hug that was crunching and sparkling, sweating in the back of his head, and greeted him very perfunctorily, and after the two separated, he asked straight to the point, So, Alex, you are also here for the witch's business?

Since the mutation in Yandu fought together and witnessed Wu Ming's deeds of standing up against the evil god Naia, Alex also knew that he was a trustworthy person, so he did not hide this aspect and said bluntly: Well, a few days ago, the organization sent a message to several of our transcendent forces, saying that traces of the witch had been found in this place, so I hope that the transcendent forces that have been in contact with the witch will send someone to investigate the details and quickly contain the threat of the witch in the bud. However, the only ones who have responded to this call are the Authority, the Church that is keen on heresies, and our Hunting Group, and the scholars of the Warlock Guild do not seem to be interested in this matter at all, so they remain silent as always.

Wu Ming looked at the old hunter and Otto, who was beside him with an unhappy face, and his expression became a little puzzled: But are you two the only people who came?

When the director mentioned that the local forces of the earth had entered, he thought that he had become an extraordinary force, and a joint investigation team of more than 10,000 people had formed to surround this town, but he didn't expect that there were only two people who came, and even one of them was not a hunter, but a psyker who suffered from hair loss even if he had the ability to overwrite reality.

Otto, who seemed to feel great malice, immediately collapsed his face after seeing Wu Ming stay on the top of his head for a long time, and muttered in a low voice: I always feel that you just said bad things about me behind my back

Of course not, I don't know what the situation is on the side of the church and the agency, but we belong to the investigators who came to the bottom first, and there are many hunters in the hunting group who have dealt with witches, but they are all experienced old hunters, responsible for the security and hunting work in the major dangerous areas, so they can't get away for a while. Alex shook his head and explained that although the hunting group was now actively drawing in other veteran hunters who had been in contact with the witch, it would take time. So when the large army was coordinating, I took the initiative to ask Ying to go, and if the problem was not big, it would be better for them to go on another trip and let us solve it.

Wu Ming nodded thoughtfully when he heard this, and suddenly asked with a flash of inspiration: But what if the problem is big?

Then call for reinforcements from headquarters. Alex looked serious and didn't look like he was joking at all.

The town was already close in front of them, and Wu Ming and the others walked and chatted after meeting by chance, and after exchanging a little information for a short time, they walked into the town.

Probably because of the town's remoteness and lack of a convenient road to strengthen its connection with the outside world, the townspeople here live a very poor life as if they lived in the last century, or the last century, most of the houses in the town are a little dilapidated, and some of the wooden houses are even broken with several patches, looking crumbling. Even the concrete road in the town looks like it hasn't been repaired in a long time, full of potholes and cracks, and it's not much better than the dirt road outside the town.

Maybe now is the time for farm work, and there are not many people to see in the town, so Wu Ming and Alex and his party walked on the uneven cement road in the town, ready to familiarize themselves with the town first

The environment in the sub to see if you can find any useful information.

It's just that after entering the town, Wu Ming, who is good at observing the atmosphere, quickly feels strange.

In the town, the atmosphere is not quite right.

Occasionally, some of the townsfolk would have an unconcealed resistance and disgust in their eyes when they saw them outsiders, and of course, disgust was disgust, and they inevitably had some fear on their faces when they saw Alex.

Phineas hug me Crimson, Alex, I'd like to get in touch with these townspeople, you wait a little longer

Siegfei took over the Scarlet Queen, who had been very silent all the way, although the latter was observing the outside world through the camera on the screen of the laptop, but she never spoke, and the old hunter probably knew that his face might give birth to many unnecessary incidents, he grabbed Otto, who was a little bored and wanted to move freely, nodded to Wu Ming and said: No matter what, be careful

Well. Wu Ming answered, and then he walked quickly towards a townsman who was walking towards him.

I'm sorry to delay you, sir. Wu Ming showed a business-style signboard smirk on his face, he stopped the passers-by townspeople who were about to pass by, and changed his voice to a set of affinity with the smirk, and said to the passers-by who were stopped by him: We are travelers from outside the town, we passed by this town and found that the scenery here is pleasant, the folk customs are simple and the feeling of returning to nature, so I want to stay here for a few more days, I don't know where there is a place to live temporarily in the town?

The automatic translation function of the auxiliary device allows him to communicate with Ziegfei, the dragon girl who switches input methods in various Chinese, ultrasound and infrasound waves from time to time, and will naturally translate his meaning perfectly to the other party, plus he is very confident in his set of social words, so Wu Ming does not have to worry about communication problems at all.

But now it is obviously an abnormal situation, after Wu Ming came up to talk, the passer-by townsman showed a little resistance and disgust on his face and subconsciously took a small step back, and before the former finished speaking, he waved his hand violently, as if he wanted to drive Wu Ming out: Stranger, go back! You are not welcome here! There is no place for you to live!

After saying that, the townsfolk took a few sip and scolded and walked away.

Wu Ming asked several townspeople with the same techniques and routines, and the responses they got were all similar, they all did not welcome the arrival of Wu Ming and others like the first villager, and the last townsman who looked like he had just returned from farm work was even more excited to pick up the pitchfork in his hand and try to attack him, but immediately this townsman was immediately confused by Wu Ming, and his emotions suddenly became calm, as if ignoring him, a foreigner, turned his head and left.

The townspeople of this town are truly hospitable. Wu Ming looked at the back of the townsman leaving with a pitchfork, and at this time, Qi Gefei and the others, who had been watching from the sidelines, also followed, and he joked to his companions, Look, they were all about to take out the pitchfork to greet me just now

These people don't seem to welcome us, why? Sieg, who was watching the whole process with the Crimson Queen in his arms, frowned in bewilderment.

Maybe something happened here before we arrived, or maybe the townspeople here were simply xenophobic. Wu Ming shrugged and said that he couldn't give a specific answer, and no one could say what the reason was.

Alex also said seriously: The abnormal reaction of the townspeople needs to be further investigated to determine, but I don't know if this will be related to the witch, so let's be cautious and vigilant

I said, don't you all think about the actual problem? If the people in the town don't welcome us, and there is no hotel, then we may have to sleep in the wild again, Otto is more concerned about other problems, the reason why he wants to use it, is because he has been sleeping in the open for several days in order to rush to this poor country, eating bland roast chicken and fish every day, sleeping on the land of the Shizijiao people, and now he wants to quickly find a hotel in the town to take a bath, and then sleep well on the soft bed, and say goodbye to those hellish wild life.

Wu Ming looked at Otto with a little pity, and his expression was very complicated to puncture his sweet dream: No, I don't think there can be a tavern in this town

Thankfully, as for the hotel, who would be so immoral as to open a hotel in the middle of nowhere?

Otto:

At this moment, Wu Ming felt a sight coming from behind, as if someone was secretly observing him, he turned his head sharply to look in the direction where he felt the sight, and then saw a timid girl at the corner of the street behind him who was probing his head to observe their group.

The girl has a beautiful long golden chestnut hair, although it is unremarkable, but it makes Wu Ming feel a sense of familiarity, this blonde girl's family background does not seem to be very good, the crimson long skirt on her body is a little faded and white and has not been replaced, and the apron is also full of patches, which looks shabby and old, after the two eyes collided, the blonde girl reacted immediately like a frightened rabbit and turned around and ran, before Wu Ming could speak, she disappeared at the end of the street corner in the blink of an eye.

Although the sights were only staggered for a moment, Wu Ming was very sure that he knew this girl!

Even if you don't know her, you've at least had a few encounters with her!

But before he could search his mind carefully and recall where he had seen the girl, a mature female voice came to his ears from a distance.

Are you strangers from outside the town?
