"Why don't we go out of town and report to the yamen?"

Since they couldn't catch up, everyone simply stopped and gathered to discuss their next plans.

"But...... If you leave the town without permission, what if someone is poisoned again? ……”

"Hasn't that guy been driven away by us now? Are you afraid of a ball? ”

"That being said, there's no complete certainty that the bounty hunter is the real murderer! …… What if he wasn't? …… Or maybe the person didn't really leave, but went into hiding, trying to kill again! …… How's that to be? ……”

After being entangled in this way for a long time, instead of discussing what countermeasures to come up with, he suppressed most of the murderous and menacing momentum before......

A group of indecisive civilians suddenly ran out of ideas.

One shuddered when one remembered the many murders that the murderous demon had committed in Orange Horse.

In the end, there was no discussion of a reason......

"It's so risky to get out of town...... Just wait...... Didn't that bounty hunter say that he was going to report to the yamen and the demon slayer and let them deal with it? …… Just wait...... If the demon slayer really came, it means that the bounty hunter is not lying, and the murderer is someone else. ”

"But what if the demon slayer or the yacha doesn't come?"

The crowd fell silent.

After a while, one of them spoke, "Let's make plans then!" …… Take it one step at a time! ……”

“……”

"That's all it can be...... Before the demon slayer or the yacha comes, we still can't relax! ”

"Yes! …… Let's go home and hide, and don't go out! ”

"Alright! Let's go home, I'm worried about my wife and children right now! ……”

At this time, everyone has their own thoughts, and it is difficult to unite anymore.

After a brief exchange, they did a scatter of birds and beasts.

And the family of the thatched house who died no longer dared to stay in their own house, so they simply moved to a relative's house.

As for the corpse that looked like an old woman who had drowned in the pit, no one had the heart to deal with it, and let her stay in filth.

But it's strange to say.

In one day and one night, two people died in a row......

There was a woman who tried to escape, but was seriously injured, and then there was this old lady who drowned in the pit......

Two lives!

I don't know whose daughter or wife they are, whose mother or wife they are......

However, I have not heard of any families in the town crying and grabbing to identify the corpses, or anxiously searching for missing relatives.

It's a bit weird......

No way.

At this moment, the people in Orange Horse Town are already frightened birds!

They had no choice but to think of anything else.

Now Niu Yuanping is gone.

The situation in the town is back to the way it was before.

Sweep the snow in front of each door...... They went home, closed their doors, and prayed that disaster would not befall their heads.

And so it goes.

Who cares if the dead come from?

Now.

It wasn't dawn yet.

The long street accompanied everyone to scatter the birds and beasts, and each went home to close its door, and it became empty again!

The torches were extinguished, and there was silence.

The excitement of the previous gathering of people was once again replaced by an eerie dead silence.

And at this moment!

In the pit where the old lady drowned, strange things were quietly happening.

The corpse of the old man, who had been buried with half of his body by filth, began to make very slight movements!

Her bare arms swung slowly, brushing away the filth so that she could sink slowly!

Eventually, it was completely engulfed in filth.

If someone came in and looked at it again, they would definitely not be able to see that there was a dead body in this pit before.

It has gone without a trace!

It looks like it's sunk to the bottom of something filthy......

However, it's just a pit......

It's really unbelievable that it can be so deep that it can drown the entire human body.

This scene is a strange phenomenon that is absolutely not logically reasonable.

However.

No one will notice that.

Including Niu Yuanping!

……

At this time, Niu Yuanping was flying from the top of the eaves one by one, at great speed.

He was indeed planning to leave Orange Horse.

It didn't take long for him to move away from the houses in the town and jump off the long street.

Then he slowly walked towards the suspension bridge, the only way out of Orange Horse Town.

And at this moment, the sky is just getting dark.

He walked slowly up the suspension bridge and listened to the movement in all directions.

The reason for this.

It's because Niu Yuanping wants to see it.

Something happens when you get out of town on your own!

After all, the monster murderer had made a rule before, in Orange Horse Town, only allowed to enter, not to leave!

So he wanted to see how the monster killer would react when he left.

Stepped onto the suspension bridge.

You can feel the bridge deck shaking slightly.

Every step it takes makes it tremble slightly.

This made Niu Yuanping immediately concentrate.

He always felt that behind him, there seemed to be a pair of eyes silently watching him, watching his every move.

Niu Yuanping had an illusion.

At this moment, that murderous monster is likely to be hiding and ambushing around here!

Any corner could be the hiding place of that monster!

Maybe it's at the bridgehead.

Maybe it's at the end of the bridge.

Or maybe it's lurking in the waves at the bottom of the bridge.

The other party is a youkai who can hide his breath and act secretly, and he is extremely ferocious.

has the purpose of making Niu Yuanping guess.

Such an elusive guy is quite difficult to deal with!

If you continue to entangle with the youkai at the same pace, you will never win.

So at this moment, Niu Yuanping very much hopes that the murderous monster can continue to fulfill his promise!

He's leaving Orange Horse now.

"If that demonic murderer can continue to fulfill his promise and keep what he once said, anyone who leaves Orange Horse Town will be killed by it." Then, the demon at this time will definitely look for an opportunity to make a move on me! ”

If that's really the case, it's exactly what Niu Yuanping wants!

Because he can let go of his hands and feet and face to face with the monster murderer.

So at this moment, Niu Yuanping deliberately slowed down his pace!

The suspension bridge that could have been crossed with one breath has now been walked for almost half a cup of tea, and it is not finished.

He's going to try to deal with that monster before he leaves Orange Horse!

Use yourself as bait to lure it out.

At this time, it has come to the middle of the bridge.

The light of dawn gradually blurred from the eastern sky, outlining the slender and straight figure of Niu Yuanping on the suspension bridge more and more clearly.

That's right.

The sky was completely bright.

However, at this moment, on the bridge between this orange horse town and the only exit from the outside world, there is only Niu Yuanping.
