One of the strangers you are looking for lives here

Rogge stepped out of the way slightly, allowing Alex to see the figure kneeling in front of the pulpit, and then Ilson said, "This is the Pastor Clement who came to the town from a nearby big city not long ago

At the sound of Ilson's words, Clemand in his ascetic robe ended his silent prayer, and he slowly stood up and turned his head to see Alex with a tiger's back and a fierce spirit.

The eyes of the two met in mid-air, perhaps frightened by Alex's ghostly face, or perhaps not very interested in the appearance of the old hunter at all, Clement seemed to be uninterested in anything for less than a second before moving to the side, silently turned his head, looked at Roger and Ilson on the other side with a hollow gaze, and said a clueless word.

There's more unclean things in this town than I ever thought, and if you want something like this to happen again, you'd better make up your mind quickly

But Rogge and Ilson completely understood his clueless words, and the former even frowned, looking a little shaken and hesitant: But what you did is true

That's all there is to it. Clement's tone was as cold as his expression, and after saying that, he walked straight past the two of them towards the door of the church, and unabashedly looked at Alex and Otto who entered the church, and the old hunter was also looking at him with curious eyes, but neither of them spoke, and as the distance between the two grew closer, the atmosphere between the two became more and more solemn.

At the moment when he was targeted by Clement, the cold sweat on Otto's back immediately flowed out, just looking at each other, he seemed to see the picture of himself being caught by him and tied to the stake and burned to death, Otto subconsciously wanted to escape, but the flow of time seemed to slow down, and the surrounding air was also solidified, and he was like an unlucky insect embedded in amber who couldn't move at all, and could only watch Clement walk step by step, the crisp sound of stepping on the church floor tiles continued to knock on his heart like a sledgehammer.

But in the end, Clement didn't make a move, because Alex was in front of him, and as Clement passed by the old hunter, whether it was the heavy atmosphere, the frozen air, or the illusion that time was slowing down, all dissipated like a mirror, and the priest Clement slowly paced out of the church, while Otto broke out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help but open his mouth wide and breathe in the fresh air to relieve the fear rising in his heart.

The tremendous pressure exerted on his body suddenly disappeared, causing Otto to almost collapse to the ground, but Alex stopped him just in time when he almost fell.

But Ilson and Rogge were completely unaware of what was happening, and it was clear that they hadn't just been involved in that strange state, but that didn't stop them from quickly discovering Otto's anomaly.

This gentleman, you sweat a lot. Rogge saw Otto sweating profusely and panting, and immediately turned his head to look at Alex and asked with some concern, Your friend seems to have a serious problem, do you want to take him to the clinic in the town now?

Alex held Otto's body so that the latter would not fall, and at the same time explained: It's okay, it's okay, this kid has poor physical strength, and he traveled with a few of us for a while, everyone has to carry their bags and living utensils to carry weights during the day, and at night they don't have much rest when they sleep outside, and they are too tired, so another reason for us to stay in town this time is also to let him relax.

Although Otto has not fully recovered, he also waved his hand and said: It's okay, it's just a little tired, just rest for a while

Ilson and Rogge understand this. Fun Cabinet

Come on, if you don't feel well, you can sit and rest for a while. Ilson took the two to the church bench, watched Otto sit on the bench and breathed a little quieter, he handed over a handkerchief to wipe the sweat of the other party, and then turned to look at Alex, you just said you would stay in this town for a while, right? The townsfolk have been a bit unfriendly to outsiders lately, so it may be difficult for you to find a temporary place to stay, but if you really don't have a place to go, you can come to the church and ask for help, I'm always there.

Thank you for your kindness, Pastor Elson Alex grinned and showed a row of big white teeth with an expression

It looked a little hideous, but the tone was extremely gentle: "But we have already found a place to stay, and there are kind-hearted townspeople who are willing to let us stay at their house for a while, so if there is anything you need help with, I will be more than happy to lend a hand."

Pastor Ilson didn't ask them much where they were staying, but he told him uneasily: It's not a lot of peace in town lately, you and your friends should be careful, rest early after dark, and don't go out if there is no emergency

Alex nodded to indicate that he knew, and then followed his words with some curiosity and asked, "Anyway, can I ask what's going on in town lately?"

Instead of answering his question immediately, Pastor Ilson first exchanged glances with Rogge, and then both nodded as if they had reached some agreement.

In fact, a while ago, there was a murderer who was on the roaming in the town, and he often committed crimes at night, and so far there have been several missing children and victims. The mayor of the town, Rog, sighed, his face was not very good when he talked about this, although we have formed a vigil team, and the frequency of incidents is much higher than before, but there were some conflicts between the townspeople due to differences of opinion, and now the vigil team may not be able to sustain it

Alex immediately thought of the townsfolk who had left the church in a hurry before entering: I saw some townspeople coming out of the church when I came just now, were they the townspeople who participated in the vigil?

That's right. Pastor Ilson nodded, and his expression became serious at the mention of this incident: because this serial murderer has not been caught for a long time, and the other party's modus operandi is very strange, our night vigil team has failed to stop him from killing people or abducting children several times, so the town is panicked, and the vigil team is also a little shaken, after the conflict of opinions, many townspeople who originally wanted to catch the serial killer have left the vigil, and many people have run to the church to pray that these events will not affect them, the remaining townsfolk who were willing to keep vigil couldn't even make up a team

Serial murderer? Otto also relieved himself a little at this time, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and asked with some curiosity, how are you sure that the other party is a serial murderer? It could also be that several unrelated events happened to collide together

Because every time he committed a crime, he would play the flute for a while, and the whole town could hear the flute he played. As if to hear the meaning of Otto's words, Rogge said that the next day he would find the deceased, or any of the townspeople, missing, although the cause of death of the deceased varied, and the missing people ranged from children to seventeen or eighteen years old, but they all had one thing in common: they all disappeared after the sound of the flute, or were found dead.

Hearing such a sensational thing, Otto was a little speechless for a while and didn't know what to say, this kind of thing is still recommended to call the police, right?

Ilson said unhurriedly: "The only police officer in the town is now part of the vigil

And Alex also fell into deep thought: What clues have you found now, or have you locked any targets? We're not from the town, but we can help, and I have two friends in town, so I'll talk to them about it and see if they're willing to help

Now that there is a shortage of manpower, I naturally hope that you can come to help, the more people there are, the greater the strength, the faster you can find out the serial killer Hearing that the old hunter took the initiative to ask for help, and bring his friends with him, Rogge couldn't help but show a happy look on his face, if it is convenient, I also hope that you can persuade your friends to participate in the vigil as much as possible, if you think about it, you can come to my house to find me, by the way, the house next to the bell tower spire is my home.

No problem, I'll talk to my friends about it when I get back

After saying nothing all the way, Alex returned to the hotel with Otto, who was still a little vain in his footsteps, of course, on the way back, he still received many frightened and disgusted eyes from the townspeople, but with Alex's fierce face and the size of the tiger's back and bear's waist, there were no long-eyed townspeople who dared to come up and provoke, and after enjoying the not sumptuous lunch in the hotel for extra money, they went upstairs with Wu Ming, and several people laid a strict protective barrier in a guest room on the second floor and exchanged their understanding

to the intelligence.

I see, Alex, your progress is not slow After a full exchange of information, Wu Ming looked at Alex who was sitting on the wooden chair with some emotion, almost crushing the wooden chair, combined with the information, we can now know that there are at least two foreigners in this town, and the priest Clement you see in the church may be a transcendent sent by the church, and there may not be much deal with him and another foreigner transcendent, and even the ideas are opposed, Otherwise, they should choose to join forces rather than make the situation stalemate

According to what I learned from the proprietress of the house, this town is now plagued by pipers, and there are constantly people missing or dying, and the older generation calls it the curse of the witch, and only by carrying out the witch trial ceremony to arrest the witch for trial, can these unfortunate things not happen again and bring life back to peace, but some open-minded young people don't think so, so the village is divided into two factions with different opinions, and not long ago, it is suspected that the transcendents sent by other transcendent organizations came here and did not join forces, On the contrary, they have taken different countermeasures, which has led to the current situation

After exchanging information and learning more about things, the situation and the context of events not only did not become clearer, but became more intriguing, and the old hunter frowned: it seems necessary to dig into the legend of the witch in this town
