Chapter 431: I See You
Director Lu came to their rescue.
From a standpoint, Lu Xiang was undoubtedly their enemy, but for some reason, after her arrival and mentioning the notes she had brought with her "enthusiastic citizens", the observers suddenly felt a sense of security in their hearts.
And this confirms the speculation of the coalition government all along.
Lu Xiang has been in contact with the Void Investigation Bureau since the disappearance of the "Enthusiastic Citizen", and considering the timing of her appearance and her attitude towards Ge Fu and the adventurers, it can be seen that the relationship between them is very familiar, and they may have been in contact for a long time.
Through the notes left by the "enthusiastic citizens", they learned the true face of the female ghost in white.
A void creature called the Grotesque Demon.
The first to become aware of its existence was Adventurer 7, who was investigating a void area with a spatial structure similar to an abandoned factory, and was attacked by unknown ghosts at night, and every time he eliminated them, they would return the next day.
Ghosts will always attack with their teeth and claws, but at first they don't seem to be able to do substantial damage to humans.
This immediately reminded the observers of the first day, where they saw the female ghost in white staying in Emily's room for a long time, but doing nothing.
The third note was left by Adventurer 7 a few days later, and after suffering from long-term insomnia, he began to hallucinate, these ghosts seemed to have touched him, and he was vaguely aware that it was not the ghosts that he had destroyed, but someone else who had created them.
In the final note, the dying Adventurer 7 finally discovers the culprit behind the ghost, a giant monster covered in pus and with several heads growing from various parts of its body, which looks like a giant monster that has stitched many people's bodies together irregularly.
The portrait of the grotesque picture still has dried blood.
A few people just glanced at it, and they felt sick to their stomachs and fear.
"This is a relic found by the 'enthusiastic citizens' when they arrived in that area after receiving a call for help."
Lu Xiang said without changing her face, but sometimes she really admired Song Lan's imagination, he even designed the twists and turns of the story of discovering the grotesque demon, and sacrificed an adventurer No. 7 who never existed in the story.
This blind story shared by Song Lan obviously touched the seven people who were ready to go, and after everyone was silent for a long time, the village chief of Yangcun asked, "What ......about it?" What happened to Adventurer 7? ”
"By the time the 'zealous citizen' discovered the Grotesque, his body had become one with the Grotesque, and he speculated that the Grotesque was using this to weaken the will of their prey and swallow them before they were on the verge of collapse."
Hearing this, even Song Lan couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Because the paragraph that Lu Xiang just said is not the content of the notes, but her improvisation.
She didn't stop there, and continued to help the "Eager Citizen" improve the relevant settings, "The 'Eager Citizen' only found the only grotesque demon in that void area, this kind of monster may have a strong sense of territory, I speculate that the reason why there is no other void creature in the town is probably because there is a grotesque demon living here, this is the purpose of my visit, every day you stay in the town, it will become more and more difficult to destroy." ”
Director Lu has learned badly.
This doesn't even wrinkle his eyebrows, and his ability to come when he opens his mouth has reached the pinnacle.
The observers were able to get a general idea of the grotesque, but there was still one question that could not be explained: why did the grotesques in the towns of the 17th arrondissement affect them in the 2nd arrondissement?
That's a gap between most of the coalition government, and even psionics can't do that.
Could it be that a mere void creature is stronger than a six-star rescuer?
They didn't care about violating the department's rules at the moment, and anxiously contacted them through the program built into the investigators' heads, "Why are we affected by the grotesque?" ”
The sudden sound in her head startled Emily, who was listening attentively, and she was stunned for a moment, before she changed her question and said, "Excuse me, is the ability of the grotesque demon not limited by range?" ”
"Yes, according to the information we have so far, as long as you have seen it, you will be affected by its ability to flee to the ends of the earth."
“…… But we haven't seen it at all! ”
Erimi swears that this is definitely the first time she's ever seen such a twisted and disgusting monster.
The big radish head and the others nodded one after another, if they had seen this monster, they should be extremely impressed.
"You don't necessarily realize its existence when you first see it, and in the case of Adventurer 7, he only vaguely realized that he had seen a similar shadow on the first day he investigated the area after he found the essence of the grotesque demon."
This argument does not gain the trust of everyone.
Everyone subjectively felt that it was impossible for them not to notice such a terrible monster, and so did the observers in Far Ward 2.
According to Lu Xiang, not only Emily and others, but even they have actually seen the existence of grotesque demons in the process of monitoring?
What are you kidding, didn't Lu Xiangmo treat so many of them as blind?
They immediately retrieved all the footage that Emily had recorded since she came to town, giving full play to the spirit of not believing to check the recording.
This was Emily's first day in town, escaping from monsters.
The road from the front of the town to the hotel was not far away, and they slowed down the video to miss a single detail.
As if to embolden, the person who operated the video also said, "Look, there is no such thing, there is no this, and there is no ...... that."
However, as Emily passed by the house, which was only one street away from the inn, the voices of the observers stopped abruptly.
The picture on the screen is also frozen in this moment.
At that time, Emily raised her head under the introduction of the adventurer, and looked through the fog at the outline of the inn that was gradually emerging not far away, but she did not notice that there was also a person in her peripheral vision...... Or maybe some kind of creature was watching her from the second floor.
After the picture is frozen, the creature by the window finally reveals its outline.
At first glance, it looks like two people are leaning against the window and looking downstairs, but if you look closely, you can see that the heads are so close together, as if they are growing on the same body.
There was a dead silence in the observation room, and Lu Xiang's questioning came to an abrupt end.
The observer zoomed in with a shudder, allowing the view behind the window to take over the screen, and at last, they saw a huge body looming in the shadows, two highly corrupted heads stuck in the flesh like flagsticks.
"But I ......"
Emily on the other side was about to say something, when the voices of the observers rang in her head again.
The voice interrupted her thoughts, "You see. ”
"Huh?"
"You really saw it."
"On your first day in town, there's something with at least two heads on the two-story attic across the street from the inn watching you. ”
