"Hahahaha!"

Hearing Xia Yanzhen's words, Santa Claus laughed wildly, "It's up to you? ”

"What do you think? Prisoner. Xia Yanzhen replied, trying to provoke the Santa Claus as much as possible.

It's a pity that after laughing, Santa Claus was not furious, he looked at Xia Yanzhen: "I remember you." ”

With that, he turned into a puff of fly ash and disappeared without a trace.

Sure enough, "Ashes and Smoke" was not the effect of the Spell Spirit Bone Blade.

"Running fast enough, but the connection between his doppelganger and the deity is not so deep." Xia Yanzhen said.

"Yes." Tiamas nodded.

This point is still relatively obvious, and there is a certain delay in the response.

I'm afraid that after the doppelganger dies, the message can be transmitted back to the deity.

Anyway, at least the fish is hooked, it depends on whether this fish can jump ashore and splash with water to give Xia Yanzhen a look.

If you can't find the enemy, it's also a good choice to let the enemy come to you.

Of course, it's impossible to stop there and do nothing.

The night of the blizzard had little impact on Xia Yanzhen and them, if it wasn't for Xia Yanzhen's need to wear glasses, it would have zero impact.

Instead, let their actions not be disturbed by ordinary people.

Tiamat turned into a human form and entered the office building with Xia Yanzhen.

Looking for clues.

At 9:45 a.m., the two left the office building, and their search inside found nothing, and they found no old stories buried in the town.

There was no ready-made "diary" information, so Xia Yan really planned to go to someone and ask.

The target is the mayor of this town of Cent.

Although they did not have a diary, they managed to find some information about the residents.

Mayor Kruger, whose family has lived in Cente for generations, also holds important positions in the town, either the mayor or the only security mediator in Cent.

Kruger himself is sixty years old this year, and he can be regarded as highly respected, and if there are any hidden secrets in the town that he does not know, I am afraid that no one else knows.

The information on the office building includes Kruger's home address and house number.

The town is relatively northern, also close to the mountains.

Xia Yanzhen and Tiamat soon came over there.

"Heh, it's quite rich."

Xia Yanzhen looked at the house in front of him.

Most of the houses in the town are small three- and four-story buildings with small courtyards.

Kruger's house is different, it is a large five-storey villa, and the area is no smaller than the church in the central square of the town.

Large iron gates and fences separate the house from the outside world.

These naturally couldn't stop Xia Yanzhen and Tiamat, and the two jumped over the high wall and quickly approached the big villa.

"Huh?"

As soon as he approached, Tiamat's footsteps paused, "There is a voice! ”

"What?"

In terms of hearing, Xia Yanzhen still has a gap with Tiamat.

"Like, it's a bit like what I heard in another town......" Tiamat said briefly. Another town, the ghost animal Santa Claus and the child can't tell the story.

Here, Tiamat heard a similar voice.

Of course, there are more female voices and less of the low roar of monsters.

"Let's go check it out." Xia Yanzhen's expression remained unchanged and pushed towards the locked thick door.

The door collapsed with a loud bang that startled the people in the living room inside.

Before they could come out, Xia Yanzhen had already walked quickly to the living room, frowning at the scene in front of him.

A pot-bellied old man was standing and looking this way.

He wears gold-rimmed glasses, I don't know if it's presbyopia or short-sightedness, and he's bald, leaving a circle of short gray hair around him.

It's not so much the Mediterranean, it's not so much the garland hairstyle that is missing in the front part.

Unlike the polite Kruger in the office building photo, his face was flushed and distorted, and he was happy and hideous.

In the warm politeness, in addition to Kru, there are many people.

Two adult couples of men and women.

If nothing else, it's Kruger's two sons and daughter-in-law.

There are also six children, both male and female, and the oldest should not be more than ten years old.

None of these people were clothed.

There was a smell of things that could not be explained, and things that could not be said were happening.

"Who are you?"

Kruger, who was still enjoying a second ago, roared at Xia Yanzhen and Tiamat Xiaoxiao.

It is said that people become very fragile when they are not clothed.

This one was obviously not among them, and he scolded Xia Yanzhen angrily, and his voice was quite loud.

You can hear his anger, his surprise, but not much fear.

has no fear that the ugly things of his family have been broken.

"What the hell is Lori Island for a long time?" Xia Yanzhen didn't answer, he raised his hand after glaring, ten seconds had passed, and he took out his arrogance.

As soon as the arrogance appeared, there was a strange low laugh.

Kruger's complexion, which had been fearless, changed slightly, and he felt a slippery, cold tongue slip over him.

I got goosebumps.

The degree of arrogance has exceeded 60%.

Once the transformation is done, it becomes a very dangerous thing.

Xia Yanzhen took the arrogance of the increased flesh area above, aimed at one of Kruger's sons, and pulled the trigger.

The sound of gunfire echoed through the living room, along with the sound of non-existent roars.

The man's upper body was completely shattered, and only two legs were still standing—and still calves.

Red and white blood splattered, and even the ceiling had an abstract trace.

The muzzle of the gun turned slightly, and Xia Yanzhen fired another shot.

This time the target is the woman next to her, and the identity should be Kruger's daughter-in-law, well, the identity is actually not important.

Xia Yanzhen fired four shots in a row, and the smell in the living room was replaced by a strong smell of blood.

At the same time, only Kruger was left as an adult.

He stood in place, his body stained with a lot of blood, shaking uncontrollably, as if he had a cerebral thrombosis.

"You don't even know who we are, why do you dare to speak so arrogantly?" Xia Yanzhen put away his arrogance, grabbed the frightened Kruger and left the living room.

Tiamat closed the tail a little—there was really nothing to take.

Kruger was so frightened that the children were either stunned or unconscious.

Tiamat put the child on the couch and covered it with a large blanket, and it was finished.

Standing at the entrance of the living room, it saw Xia Yanzhen grabbing Kruger and coming outside the villa.

Blown by the blizzard outside, Kruger suddenly came to his senses, and then shivered even more.

It's now a low temperature of less than -10 degrees Celsius.

He didn't have a single piece of clothing, and in just a few seconds, his feet began to go numb and he lost consciousness.

"We still have a lot of time, we can ask questions slowly, what do you say?" Xia Yanzhen smiled at Kruger.

Kruger shouted with all his might: "What do you want to know!" I say it all! ”

"What is this town of Cent, and what are its secrets?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

Kruger, whose heart defense has been completely shattered, did not hide it.

In the fastest and most concise language, he told the secrets of the town of Cent.

The town is not a tourist attraction and does not have any resources to speak of.

The geographical location is remote, and under normal circumstances, it will slowly become a no-man's land.

But the town is quite prosperous, and thanks to the financial support of some wealthy people, the residents are doing well.

Funding is certainly not free, and it comes at a cost.

Townspeople will sell their children to people with special fetishes.

Those people are powerful and powerful, and they have turned the town into a cultivation base and a place for wind and moon.

There are also many young couples who come to live in the town of Cente through special channels and sell their children to make a profit.

And the Kruger family is the representative of the whole town, the agent elected by the powerful and powerful.

Maintain the "peace" of the town.

Why raise children in this normal family way, and not the other way?

It is because those people prefer children who grow up normally, tearing apart and trampling on innocence, and watching their expressions change from happy to frightened and painful, can be more satisfying.

Children who grow up normally are more delicious to "eat".

If you don't understand anything, you don't have the slightest sense of shame, but it's not interesting.

"Did anything strange happen in the town of Cent?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"Strange things?"

Half of Kruger's body stiffened, his speech stuttered, and his head began to ache.

"Probably, two years ago...... A man came here and he found something. We'll deal with him. Kruger said as he endured his discomfort.

"And then?"

"After that, people in the town began to dream one after another."

"Go on."

Xia Yanzhen grabbed Kruger and threw him a little inside the gate.

Even though the door was still open (the door was down and couldn't be closed), there was heating in the house, which was not so cold against the cold outside.

With a glimmer of hope, Kruger did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "They dream that they are wandering back in a small town that looks the same as here, but has become very dilapidated.

"At the same time, it has become a monster with a twisted appearance, and it can't control itself."

"Dreaming every night?"

"No, it's just a nightmare once in a while. But even so, some people couldn't stand it anymore and moved out of here......" Kruger lowered his voice.

One thing that many newcomers don't know.

Sell your children to make a lot of money and move out of town to meet a new life of abundance?

Those who don't exist, who want to leave, will be secretly disposed of.

When you come to this town, you have to be here for generations, and you can't leave.

Krueger has seen many victims and ended up being perpetrators.

He himself and his son are also "one" of them.

It seems to be a reincarnation with no head in sight.

"In those nightmares, is there Santa Claus?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"What?"

"Santa Claus."

"No, why is there Santa Claus?" Kruger was puzzled.

"Isn't this Christmas Eve?" Xia Yanzhen's tone was casual, "Isn't it normal to see Santa Claus on Christmas Eve?" ”

"......" Kruger stopped talking.

The terrifying murderer in front of him still believes that there is Santa Claus?

"Never seen it?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"Nope."

"And do you have nightmares?"

"I've had a few times, but I can't remember exactly what it was." Kruger tried to recall, a few nightmares, what impact could it have, it wasn't today, he had to forget, "But he certainly didn't dream of Santa Claus." ”

"Nightmare ......" Xia Yanzhen frowned.

"Dang, dang."

The bell rang and the time came to 10 p.m.

Xia Yan turned around and looked at the living room.

Sure enough, Tiamat, who had been near the entrance and exit of the living room, disappeared without a trace.

"I'm in again."

Tiamat's voice with a slight sigh came through the team's channel.

Xia Yan really wants to come in, it wants to go out, besiege the city, right!
