"Did something happen to him?"

As soon as the words fell, someone exclaimed, and then everyone's faces changed, and they rushed to the second floor.

"Zheng Yucheng is not in the house, the window in his room is open..."

I saw Zhang Tao take the lead and lead everyone to the last guest room with the door wide open.

With a sweep of his gaze, he instantly observed the situation in the house.

The room is clean and tidy, the bed is flat and dust-free, and there is no trace of living in it.

"Could he have found out that the thief was trying to escape, so he chased him out of the window?" Someone speculated.

"No, he didn't chase Chu Chen!"

Zhang Tao's eyes were deep, and he explained in an orderly manner: "On the contrary, it was Chu Chen who came to this room, and when he saw the window open here, he moved the idea of escaping. ”

After a pause, he said again: "And Zheng Yucheng may not be in the room last night." ”

As he spoke, he swept his gaze across the room, motioning for everyone to observe.

Everyone present was experienced, and after hearing his reminder, they instantly believed the results of his analysis.

"Confused! Confused! How could Zheng Yucheng get out of this inn alone last night! ”

Fang Zhibai was furious, thinking of this situation, his face gradually became difficult to see.

After listening to Zhang Tao's analysis of the dangerous situation in the town, he has gradually realized that it is very dangerous to appear on the streets at night.

You can even die at any time!

"Isn't he afraid of death?" He roared angrily.

Zhang Tao said expressionlessly: "Maybe the other person is dead!" ”

Hearing this, the other people's faces became unpleasant.

"Zhang Tao, our previous behavior on the merchant ship was indeed a little inappropriate, but you can't declare a personal vendetta and curse our brother at this time!" Someone stood up unconvinced.

"Yes, Lao Zheng is also an old Sky Surveyor, it is impossible to be so reckless, he will not act without an order..."

"It's possible that he didn't worry about the horse bandits continuing to commit crimes in the city, so in order not to worry us, he quietly left through the window!"

"No matter what, the most urgent thing at the moment is to find Zheng Yucheng's whereabouts, not to curse and blame him!"

All of a sudden, the crowd was excited, and you didn't accept what Zhang Tao said.

"Believe it or not, I'm just stating a fact!"

Zhang Tao shook his head, not paying attention to the noise in his ears at all.

He still went his own way, standing in front of the window and looking around, inspecting the situation of the building behind the inn.

I saw a long alley behind the inn, and there was still some distance from the bustling street next door.

The alleys are deep and dark, and the sun shines on them at this time, and the darkness in the distance cannot be fully illuminated.

The deeper you go down the alley, the lower the temperature and the dimer the light, which makes you shiver.

"Lao Zhang, let's go down and see, maybe there is something else to discover!"

Fang Zhibai's expression moved slightly, a little worried that his companion's whereabouts were unknown, and he couldn't help but say, "As long as we leave here before dark, we should be safe." ”

He hadn't forgotten how weird and terrifying Rivers Town was after nightfall.

"Whatever you want, I didn't take any chances with that man!"

Hearing this, Zhang Tao shrugged his shoulders and looked calm. Then, he greeted Xiaohua, jumped up, and appeared at the mouth of the alley.

It just so happened that he was still a little curious about this town, and while there was no danger, he could accompany Fang Zhibai and the others to find the lost Sky Survey Guard.

Seeing this, the others followed suit and jumped down with great training, without making any sound.

"The yin qi in this alley is a bit heavy!"

As soon as he gained a firm foothold, Zhang Tao heard someone shiver involuntarily.

"Be careful, everyone, everything in this town is evil!" Fang Zhibai reminded.

As he went deeper into the alley, Zhang Tao keenly noticed that something was wrong here, whenever there was a place where the sun did not shine, the darkness there seemed to be alive.

When people are not looking, the darkness in those shadows is quietly writhing and swimming, like a poisonous snake foraging for food, which makes people creepy.

"Could it be that this filth is a microcosm of the town at night?" He muttered to himself.

Instantly realized the gravity of this strange situation.

He didn't have the intention of dying at this time, to test the dangers of twisting the shadows.

He did not act rashly, and was careful to avoid all the places where shadows appeared.

Immediately, he glanced back at Fang Zhibai, kindly reminded, and said, "Old Fang, there is a problem with the shadows here, don't go into a dark place." ”

"Hmmm! I'll pay attention! Fang Zhibai nodded, his expression solemn.

As soon as the words fell, before he could warn the people behind him, a scream containing anger sounded in his ears.

"Damn, what the hell is this!"

However, some people don't believe in evil, and after hearing Zhang Tao's reminder, they still secretly stretched out their hands to touch the writhing shadows in the corners of the alley.

"If you don't die, you won't die!"

Zhang Tao said coldly: "Your stupid behavior will only bring us trouble!" ”

I saw that the man's face was pale, his forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he was struggling in pain.

The shadow touched on his finger seemed to turn into a slender tentacle at this time, like a snake-like thread, tightly wrapped around the other party's finger, strange and inexplicable.

Immediately afterward, the rattle of broken finger bones was extremely harsh in the silent alley.

As the area of the black tentacles became larger, the shadows in the entire alley became agitated, like a drop of water falling into a boiling oil pot, exploding in an instant, and the water droplets splashed everywhere.

"It's not good, get rid of it!"

Seeing this, Fang Zhibai's pupils shrank, his face changed greatly, and he said eagerly: "Otherwise, you will be completely swallowed by the darkness!" ”

Although everyone didn't know what would happen to them when they were completely swallowed up by the darkness, they could see the consequences of the man's painful expression.

Without saying a word, Fang Zhibai did not hesitate, raised his left hand to hold the opponent's arm, and pulled it out fiercely, instantly breaking free from the entanglement of the black tentacles.

Stab!

Fingers are broken, flesh is separated.

Immediately, some subtle strangulation marks also appeared on his dark iron arm, which were clearly visible.

If he hadn't moved quickly and decisively, those strange black tentacles would have pulled him into the darkness.

Luckily, his left hand wasn't flesh and blood, otherwise he wouldn't have been spared!

"This thing can devour people's spirits!"

For the rest of his life, the man broke three fingers, drenched in blood, he covered the bloody wounds, his chest rose and fell violently, his mouth was panting, and he said in horror: "It wrapped around my fingers, I could feel the pain, I wanted to cut off the whole finger!" ”

"Hurry up and deal with the wound, let's keep up with Zhang Tao's pace and get out of here quickly!"

Fang Zhibai's heart palpitated, looking at the writhing and restless shadows around him, a look of horror flashed in his eyes.

He was nervous in his heart, and after a serious warning, he quickly caught up with Zhang Tao, who was walking and stopping in front of him.
