Chapter 50: The Boy and the Shadow Who Blow the Robin's Tail Flute
"Rustle...... Sand...... Next, we need to insert an update on the news that the German Baptist Triad has recently experienced an abnormal transfer of personnel......"
“BUZZ…… Freelance journalist boss Zhang Yuji learned the amazing inside story after an in-depth investigation! The anomaly of the Triad is caused by the involvement of Ampere, the leader of the Great River, in the bizarre events of the assassination system...... Now life and death are unknown...... Rustle......"
It has been a long time since Li Du came to the strange world, and he has not seen the sun for such a long time.
Therefore, there is no sunset on Sunset Flesh Farm, only sad people.
"Troning is a turtle son!"
Seeing the two-wheeled carriage disappear into the billowing sand of the horizon, Li Du squatted down and picked up a piece of brownstone and wrote the above eight characters on the rare granite rough beside him.
Sunset Flesh Farm is located on the outskirts of Guillotine Town, and it can be said that the land area is huge. In its heyday, it also took over part of the flesh sorting and processing business, and the George Watson family successfully became one of the gentry.
But that's no longer the case.
The place where Li Dui stood was already within the scope of the Sunset Flesh Farm, and as far as the eye could see, there were large tracts of farmland surrounded by rotten wood, which showed how huge the scale was back then.
Now there are dark crows, and the gray sky and ground are almost one. Beneath the heavy lead clouds are sparse and strange crops that have fallen down.
Li Du waited on the side of the road for a while, but didn't see Troning's shadow, and couldn't help muttering: "This guy can really bear it, he said that he would go with him to observe my performance, could it be that he actually went to find a trick and pinch his feet?" ”
The George family lives on a manor house in the center of the farm, which is still a short distance from the map.
Li Du could only walk slowly along a path in the middle of the farmland, which was just the opportunity to take a general look at the general situation of the farm.
Disappearances are not uncommon in the weird world, but it is a bit strange that the families of the noble gentry are missing.
Slave hunters, flesh dealers, uncivilized monsters, and even the strange inhabitants of this farm could all be black hands, or the little girl herself......
Li Du held his chin in one hand, and thought about some possibilities related to the event as he walked.
Passing in front of the harvesting robot that seemed to be staring at him, and curiously inspecting the unremarkable huge pumpkins in the farmland, he was already far away.
The sound of a dilapidated radio has been harassing Li Duan's ears, so that his perception of sound is weak.
By the time he realized that some strange melody was not coming from his ears, but was actually intercepted from the still, cold air, he could already see the sloping roofs of the manor buildings.
Above the roof, there was a young man, playing some kind of flute-like instrument in the cold wind.
"Hey! Come down and talk about that kid! Li Du raised the tax officer's hat on his head and shouted as kindly as he could.
The low, melancholy melody came to an abrupt end.
The young man's blood-red eyes stared at him, which was by no means the eyes that should come from the inhabitants of the strange world, but like a beast of hell, and he could feel a kind of ferocity that chose people and devoured them.
"Whoa——————!
With the sound of roof tiles being disturbed, the boy quickly disappeared.
Li Du touched his nose, a little embarrassed, because when the young man got up just now, he saw the other party's beard that reached to his feet.
Well... It seems that the guy's age can't be called a teenager, which is indeed a bit rude.
Shaking his head with a light smile, he immediately walked towards the few scattered manor buildings in the distance without hesitation.
There was not a single speck in the air, and the coldness of the entire space seemed to freeze.
In the dim light of the day, the red corn and cauliflower in the fields rustled.
"Crunch......" Li Du pushed open an old wooden door, and the dust above his head immediately fell.
If it weren't for the task guidance in hand, Li Du would definitely think that this place had been abandoned for a long time.
"Hey! Good morning guys, I'm Li Du, the tax officer of the Guillotine Town Tax Department, is there anyone? ”
The musty smell of the building can't be stopped, and the tossing depths of the thick darkness don't know what dangers are hidden.
…… Silent......
Li Du scratched his head and continued to shout, "Tax Officer Li Du has come to Sunset Flesh Farm for a vacation...... Oh, it's a tax check! ”
……
"The special release party of the big star Boko Ono is being held?"
……
"The house is going to fall, evacuate the !! quickly"
……
Li Dui's eyebrows trembled, and he switched several voices in a row, but there was no reaction in the building.
He shouted around several other buildings in the vicinity, but there was a dead silence.
Okay! Knowing that the master was coming to collect taxes, he hid, didn't he?
Just now, he saw a long-bearded grandfather playing a leisurely job there......
"Since you don't object, I'll come in myself? Don't worry, I'm just coming in to feel the warmth and promise not to move! ”
Li Du immediately took out a card gun in one hand, then flew up and kicked the broken door that was already open, and swaggered inside......
Although it was dark, the Dark Raven's Eye still faithfully brought a conclusion to Li Dui.
Everything here is quite well organized, all kinds of furniture and facilities are available, but there is no need to accumulate dust for a long time.
It doesn't look like it's in a state of rolling up and running.
Since no one responded to Li Dui's greeting, he looked from room to room as if he had returned home.
It's a very old-fashioned décor, and there are some black-and-white photos on the walls that show people thriving.
It only took about 10 minutes for Li Du to search all the rooms in the entire building.
Naturally, the benefits are not cheap.
This also strengthened Li Duan's judgment that the other party left in a hurry.
Comparing the number of portraits in the photos on the wall, there is nothing wrong with the room facilities here.
There is neither one more, nor one less.
It does look like it's a place where the whole family of a farmer lives.
But what about people? Where have all the people gone?
Li Du was a little speechless, he couldn't even find an NPC, so he asked him to complete a woolen task.
In some dark corner of the house, Tronning was writing something in a leather book with a beautiful cover.
For example, "The trialist hesitates to ink, lacks decisiveness and strategy." To deal with this kind of situation normally, the building should be set on fire, and the homeowner will naturally appear. -15 points. ”
Finding nothing to be found in this building, Twilight shook her head and went out to search for the next building.
Before I reached the door, something strange happened!
He seemed to be grabbed by a large invisible hand in the air, and with great force, he slammed him the dusty sofa.
"it......," Li Dui immediately grinned in pain.
"Click——!" The rusted second hand on the wall clock suddenly receded a notch.
Immediately, the fireplace automatically ignited a turquoise flame, and under the light of the fire, it seemed to paint the entire interior space with a strange green paint......
"Tax... Tax...... ...... officer?" An ethereal voice came from under Li Dui's feet.
Li Du looked down in horror, only to see his shadow open his scarlet eyes.
The sound came from its mouth.......
The green flame was beating, and even the shadow was twisting strangely, like Monte's scream, absurd.
