When Kim directly blows up the hatchlings between the pits,

Yi Chen immediately scanned the surroundings with Xiao Grape, and after a while, he confirmed that there was no arrival of any sick person, and he was slightly relieved.

"That's how Kim behaves, and the only way to do it is to curb her radical behavior as much as possible.

However, it doesn't matter much if you scare the snake like this.

Since the inner area has been severely ashed, just like the Twilight Clinic, there must be an unknown being like Mr. Li who can monitor the forest, and maybe even every tree here is its eyeline.

"Kim, let's go."

"Hmmm! Hurry up, I can't wait. ”

No longer confined by the walls of trees, Kim walked at the forefront with her light steps.

However, she would also turn her head from time to time and glance at Yi Chen behind her, ensuring that the distance between the two would not exceed five meters.

Yi Chen was not disturbed by the gold belt, and moved forward steadily with the help of the induction of plants.

The dark and foggy inner forest is easy to get lost once you speed up or get distracted.

The trees here cannot leave markings, and even if a knife makes a deep mark, the tree will be restored in a matter of minutes.

If there is no reconnaissance gentleman like Yi Chen in the team, it is easy to get lost.

……

About half an hour walk in the woods

Eventually, something other than plants appeared in the field of vision - a sign indicating a rancid and moldy mushroom growth, on which the words "Sheporte Village" could be faintly inscribed.

This street sign is like a dividing line,

There is a paved stone road in front of the street sign...... Along the direction of the road, through the layers of fog, a faint light can be faintly seen.

It didn't take long for

A two-storey building is completely out of touch with the times, located on the side of the road, in a more medieval style.

It is made of stone bricks, with a gable roof and an iconic chimney.

There were no crops or livestock in the fenced backyard, only a foul-smelling black water.

On the first floor, there is a bright fire between the horizontal wooden windows.

The recessed windows on the second floor embedded in the gabled roof also let in a faint light, and there was a faint feeling of shadows swaying on it.

A trace of black smoke rises from the mouth of the chimney,

This sign is enough to indicate that the interior is inhabited.

"Strangely, the building seems to stand alone outside the village...... The stone road continues to stretch, and it should be some way from the interior of the village.

It's like ...... Watchtower? ”

Jin Man said nonchalantly: "Nothing strange, just go in and take a look." ”

When Jin took a step and was about to walk towards the wooden door on the first floor, Yi Chen immediately took the lead in front.

Seeing this, Jin just smiled slightly, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and deliberately slowed down and walked behind.

She naturally knew what Yi Chen was thinking, cautious and rational, trying to get enough information at the beginning of the investigation, and her former teammates were all like that.

However, her tolerance for Yi Chen seems to be much higher.

"Let me see the way the first gentleman accepts~"

When he stepped into the house, Jin deliberately kept a certain distance from Yi Chen.

Next, she is not ready to make a move, but substitutes from the perspective of [live audience].

Zizizizi!

There was something burning in the fireplace, completely carbonized, and it was impossible to tell what it was.

The wooden dining table is filled with a lot of moldy and rotten food,

The frame hanging on the wall has been torn apart, and it is impossible to obtain valid information.

The kitchen is also stocked with all kinds of unwashed utensils.

After some inspection, it was determined that there was no one on the first floor.

Yi Chen walked the stairs next to the fireplace to the attic on the second floor, and there was almost no noise during the whole process.

The two-story attic of this gabled roof is small and restrictive.

When Yi Chen stepped on the last step, his footsteps immediately stopped.

now

In the corner of the attic is a white candle that is about to bottom, the flame is faint and could be extinguished at any moment.

By the faint light of the fire, I could barely see the end of the attic facing the staircase,

There was a wooden rocking chair on which sat an old man who was about to go bald.

Back

Only the sparse white hair on the top of the old man's head could be seen, and the dark spots that resembled a dead man.

The rocking chair swayed slowly,

Each shake makes a slight crunch, which is rather eerie in a cramped, pitch-black space like an attic.

When Yi Chen tentatively took a step forward,

The speed of the rocking chair increased slightly, as if it had sensed the arrival of the youth.

Jin, who followed him to the attic, leaned on the handrail of the stairs, supporting his face with one hand, and watched the play leisurely.

"Hello, is this the village of Sheporte?"

Regarding the question thrown by Yi Chen, the other party did not respond at all.

Seeing this, Yi Chen could only continue to carry the suitcase and approach the old man...... This process is also deliberately slowed down to improve visual accuracy.

"That's ...... Cats?'

When I walked halfway to the attic, I caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a black cat lying on the old man's legs, almost blending in with the environment due to the color problem.

The cat was staring at Yi Chen with yellow eyes.

No screaming, no movement, just quietly watching.

Yi Chen, who smelled a hint of danger, had already put one hand on the lock of the suitcase and continued to move towards the old man.

Crunch ~ rocking chair rattle

As the distance gets closer, the frequency of rocking chairs is getting faster and faster,

Five meters,

Four meters,

Three meters,

Two meters,

At present, the rocking chair is shaking more frequently than normal, and ordinary people can't shake it so fast even if they try their best.

One meter!

When Yi Chen's leather shoes hit the ground, the rocking chair that was shaking at high speed stopped abruptly...... It's like pressing the tentative button on the remote control.

Suddenly,

The old man in the rocking chair turned his head reluctantly, and his cervical spine twisted 90 degrees vividly, facing the young man who broke into the house.

This is a deep hole face without any facial features and completely sunken in.

The recessed face is directly connected to the esophagus,

There is only one "strange tongue" between the cavernous faces.

Black hairs grow on the surface of the tongue that extend outwards to the legs...... The tip of the tongue is actually connected to the black cat on the old man's leg.

To be exact,

Cats are part of the tongue!

Meow! As the old man shook his head,

The black cat's tongue, which was dragging outside its mouth, was thrown at Yi Chen in an instant.

The black cat's body is longitudinally cracked from its abdomen, and it opens a large, thin-toothed mouth (similar to a headcrab) that can completely bite and cling to a human face, pointing directly at Yi Chen's face.

At such a short distance, there was no time to take out the weapon and give it a slash.

The old man deliberately waited for the other party to get close to such a distance and kill him with one blow!

Seeing that the black cat was only less than five centimeters away from Yi Chen's face,

The gloved left hand was already locked on the headhunter cat in the air.

Green glow!

Spear-like roots sprouted from the palm of his hand, piercing the black cat's body in an instant, nailing it to the ceiling.

"The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty"

Without waiting for the old man to have any reaction,

Yi Chen's other hand landed directly on the top of his head, his five fingers spread out, and spiky roots grew out of his fingertips.

"Root Piercing Skull"

The improvement of intelligence and the blessing of gloves,

There's no need to go down your nose, ears, or anything like that, and get into your skull slowly.

Card! The sharp roots pierce the skull directly, and the "central taste" is performed in the living state.

The clearer memory fragments were ingested by Yi Chen, and at the same time replenished the nutrients of the brain.

The old man twitched wildly in the process,

The taste is finished, and it is also naturally read to the position of the core of the pathogen.

The roots were withdrawn, and the five fingers let go of the old man's head.

The palm of his hand went down and landed on the old man's abdomen.

Swish! The roots that emerge from the palm pierce the abdomen directly, puncturing the core of the pathogen.

The old man and the black cat on the roof quickly fell into a state of stiffness, and their bodies quickly withered and turned into dried corpses.

"Wonderful!"

Kim's applause and cheers immediately came from the top of the staircase.
