Chapter 22: The Truth of Speculation

"Then, because every villager has their own property in the farm, they are afraid of losing their livestock, so they don't care about the disappearance of people, and there are people guarding every day to ensure the safety of their livestock."

This went on until the killer couldn't take it anymore and attacked again, killing several people and stealing the livestock. As the disappearance of people became more and more frequent, the village had been panicking, and the murderer was afraid that his whereabouts would be exposed, so he was very bold to kidnap or kill the whole village, only the old woman and Ah Kun survived. In this way, it can also explain why the old woman is very wary of us. ”

"But is this different from your previous speculation? Doesn't it mean that the murderer is a sequencer, and may also have the ability to manipulate humans, and I can understand his motive for killing, but why steal livestock? Li Jiajie spoke on the side and raised doubts sharply.

"Yes, I said so, but when I heard the report of the seniors, I overturned some of the speculations I had just made on the spot, and also confirmed some of my theories."

"On the way back, I looked through the information sent to me by the captain in the micro end, in Xia Kingdom, there was a bloodsucking homicide case before, it was a second-generation sequencer who committed the crime, his name is Zhang Gong, and his ability adaptation is Nematode class. Back then, he used the ability of nematodes to kill the residents of an entire building in the urban area, causing an uproar, but Rebirth quickly intervened to solve the problem and suppressed the matter, but due to the mistake of the Rebirth Emergency Department at that time, he was let go. Zhang Gong was not found for more than a decade, but there were no such cases nationwide. ”

"I have reasonable evidence to speculate that the murderer this time is Zhang Gong!" Zi Ban said solemnly.

Everyone's hearts jumped, if it was really like what Zi Ban said, then this mission might be more than SER-level!

Zi Ban continued: "According to the information mentioned in the information, Zhang Gong has only shown one ability, that is, any part of the body shoots a white nematode like thin lines, and after piercing through the creature, it parasitizes and destroys the creature's body, and finally relies on these thin threads to suck the blood in the creature's body until the other party dies. ”

Judging from the farm site, Zhang Gong should have tentatively grabbed two chickens to suck blood, then turned to the chicken barn, and finally met the villagers in the pigsty and sucked them to death. The same happened to the villagers who disappeared later. ”

"But fortunately, Zhang Gong is only a second-generation platform-level sequencer, and his ability should not be strong, and the villagers should not be completely killed, and some of them may be hidden, and the location,"

"It's the pond!" The three of them said in unison.

"That's right." Zi Ban nodded, "Senior Si said that there are traces of activity around the pond, and it is speculated that it is roughly the same direction as mine, and the remaining villagers may be near the pond, so tomorrow if the situation allows, I will also ask Senior Si to take a look around the pond and see if you can find anything." ”

Si Guilong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that a newcomer could already command him under the condition of judging the situation, but after thinking about it, only the person recruited by Zhu Daqing had the ability, so he didn't pursue it anymore, and nodded to Ziban.

"I still have some questions." Everyone looked at Dai Yin, and she opened her mouth and asked: "You explained the abnormality of the old woman, but you didn't say anything about Ah Kun's situation, is there any problem?" ”

"Yes," explained Ziban, "the nematode likes water and likes a humid and warm environment, and when we met the old woman just now, a large water tank was placed at the door of every house, so that even in winter, the water in the tank will evaporate and the whole village will not be so dry." ”

"And that Ah Kun, when I saw him, he had a lot of water on his hands, and there were water stains on the corners of his clothes, so I can guess that these water tanks were temporarily taken out by the murderer Zhang Gong from the villagers' houses and filled with water, in order to increase the humidity and replenish himself with water at any time, and that Ah Kun is Zhang Gong!"

"It seems that we were right not to disturb them." After hearing this, Dai Yin wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and continued to ask: "Then what are you talking about manipulating human beings?" ”

Zi Ban is not in a hurry, at this moment he has completely entered the state, and explained very calmly: "There is a creature called nematodes in the nematode class, under normal circumstances, nematodes will parasitize in the body of praying mantis and other insects, until they are about to mature, they will control their brains to travel to the water source, once they touch the water source, the mature nematodes will come out of the body again, and those insects will die immediately because they have already been hollowed out by the nematodes." ”

"The old woman we saw may have been manipulated by Zhang Gong using this ability, and once Zhang Gong gave up control, the old man would die immediately." After listening to Ziban's explanation, Dai Yin stopped talking and sat silently in the corner.

Zi Ban looked at the captain, his eyes met Li Jiajie, and Li Jiajie immediately understood what he meant: "In this way, we will continue to stay tomorrow, change the mission, avoid direct contact with Zhang Gong, and try to rescue the surviving villagers!" ”

"Luan Niao, before leaving, you were in charge of monitoring the old woman and Zhang Gong; Colorless, you and Zi Ban are responsible for finding out where the villagers are hiding before dark, and I am responsible for dealing with these two to see if we can come up with any useful information," Li Jiajie calmly gave various orders, and then said: "Take turns on duty tonight, one shift per hour, in case of accidents." It's just that the newcomer may be a little unbearable, but for the sake of the task, please bear with me. ”

Zi Ban nodded heavily, "I understand, captain, I try not to burden you. ”

Although Zi Ban's mind is very good, but in terms of physical strength, he is just a sequencer with unactivated abilities, and for sequencers, he is not much stronger than ordinary people at all, so he also kept the captain's advice in mind.

The morning glow on the horizon gradually brightened, but the golden glow didn't seem to shine into Wang Shi Village at all, what everyone in the Huangming team didn't know was that a fierce battle was coming!
