Chapter 171: Questioning
Ryan waited a long time at the top of the tree, and he didn't dare to come down from the tree until the sun was completely up and he was sure it was safe.
The battlefield of the battle under the tree has been cleaned up by the zombie skeletons. Looking from the top of the tree, Ryan couldn't see anything left behind, not even the blood that fell to the ground after the mercenaries were injured.
The place where the battle had just been fought could barely be discerned from some broken branches and crushed grass that it had experienced a fierce battle. However, if you didn't know that there had been a battle here, it would be hard to imagine that there had been a battle here just by looking at the stumps and rotten grass. Ryan had seen many similar places during the daytime scouting at Mount Gesodo, and he had no idea that there had been a fight.
"It turned out that the zombie skeletons came out of the ground, and then brought the dead bodies underground. No wonder during the day, no clues can be found. Rui Anxin said secretly.
Finally, when the sun came up and the sun shone completely on the entire Gesodo Mountain, Ryan carefully climbed down from the top of the tree. He searched the vicinity carefully, and found that everything was similar to what he had seen during the day's scouting yesterday. Except for a lot of crushed branches and leaves in some places, and some of the grass on the ground was crushed. But Ryan already knew by this time that these were the places where the battle had taken place last night.
"I wonder how many of us are still alive today with fifty of us last night? Looking at the zombie formation yesterday, it is estimated that the people who did not hide and have been walking around in the fog have been poisoned. I wonder if anyone is hiding like me and escaping for their lives? Rui An'an kept thinking wildly.
"By the way, the mercenary who escaped from our team last night, I don't know if I can escape? It was also difficult to estimate, at that time we were already on the level, and it was impossible for him to leave in the fog. ”
"If I am the only one who goes back this time, and the others don't go back, will anyone think that I hurt them? Probably not, I'm just a level 4 swordsman, how could I kill so many people? Some worry floated in Rui's heart, but then he let go.
Ryan didn't dare to stay long, he probed a little, and after finding that there was nothing else abnormal, he hurried down the mountain.
On the way back to the town of Gessodo, Ryan saw a group of people rushing up the hill of Gessodo, presumably during the day, to investigate. Ryan ignored them, these people were destined to find no clues.
As he approached the gate of Gaysodo, Ryan noticed that hundreds of people had gathered at the gate. This situation is slightly unusual, but Ryan, who has been to many places and seen many similar situations, didn't pay much attention to it and walked straight into the town.
Unexpectedly, Ryan approached the city gate, and as soon as he approached the group of people at the city gate, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Isn't this the mercenary who went to Gaisodo Mountain with the Tiger Mercenary Group last night?" ”
As soon as the words fell, all the eyes of everyone at the city gate were focused on Ryan.
Suddenly, Rui Anxin said secretly: "Trouble is coming." ”
There was a sudden shout in the crowd: "Ryan, why did you come back alone." What about the others? What about our Tiger mercenary group? ”
Ryan turned his head to look over, only to see that it was the thin man who asked Ryan to join the mission yesterday. Ryan had already told him his name when he was chatting with him yesterday.
The thin man seemed to be very impulsive, and rushed to Ryan one by one, and there were six or seven people who came with him, it is conceivable that these people are all members of the Tiger Mercenary Group, since none of them participated in last night's mission, then their swordsman level is below level 2 swordsman.
The others at the city gate did not come forward, they all stood in place, all of them watching the excitement and watching the show. Indeed, these people gathered at the city gate to know whether the mission of the Tiger Mercenary Group could be completed for the first time. Now that the Tiger Mercenary Group has not returned, only one mercenary they invited, it is natural to take a good look at what happened.
The thin man asked again, "What about our Tiger Mercenary Regiment?" What about our regimental leader? He looked nervous, for fear that Ryan would come out with a bad result.
For a moment, Ryan didn't know how to answer the other party, and after thinking for a few breaths, he didn't answer, but asked, "Is there anyone else back?" ”
"Nope. No one else came back but you. The thin man looked very impatient, and he asked impatiently, "Tell me, what happened?" "Looking at his appearance, if it weren't for the fact that Ryan's swordsman level was higher than him, maybe he would have wanted to beat Ryan first and then ask.
Listening to the thin man's answer, Rui Anxin secretly said: "It seems that everyone else except me has been killed, or someone has fled for their lives and has not returned to Gasuodor Town. Next, in front of everyone, Ryan had to answer the thin man's question, only to see Ryan said with a solemn expression: "If no one has come back at this time, then it is estimated that all the others have been killed." ”
These words, like explosives, burst into earth-shaking tremors in the hearts of everyone at the city gate. Suddenly, everyone chattered and discussed.
The thin man was even more stunned, and after a while, he stepped forward to grab Ryan's shirt and shouted angrily, "Impossible, you lied." ”
Ryan naturally wouldn't be caught by him, but with a wave of Rui's right hand, he blocked the thin man's hand, and then said calmly: "If you don't believe it, you can go to Gaisodo Mountain to have a look." ”
The thin man was stunned for a moment, but then yelled, "Then why are you okay?" Are you an accomplice to the murderer? ”
This elicited a response from his companions, who all shouted at Ryan.
The other people at the city gates, and some who believed in this sentence, were discussing it loudly with others.
"It's troublesome, if you don't handle it well, it's easy to be wronged by these people. What to do? Rui Anxin thought anxiously
After a few breaths, Ryan had an idea, he jumped up and yelled angrily at the thin man, "You talk nonsense, you spew blood, do you know what happened? Do you know what enemies we encounter? Did you know that everyone died miserably? Do you know how hard I struggled to get back? ”
A series of questions suddenly made the thin man retreat again and again, speechless.
Others also temporarily broke off the suspicion that Ryan was an accomplice to the murderer.
At this time, not only the thin man's companions, but even the people watching the excitement asked anxiously, "What happened?" Why did everyone die. ”
Seeing that everyone was very emotional, Ryan didn't explain to everyone on the spot, but asked loudly, "Is there anyone present who has a bounty task?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man in his fifties came out of the crowd, walked up to Ryan and said, "I was entrusted by the mayor to wait for you to come back, young man, please tell me, what happened last night?" ”
The old man's eyes were relatively gentle, and he did not despise Ryan's expression.
With a sigh of relief, Ryan described the process of exploring Mount Gesodo last night.
He focuses on how everyone gets lost and spends the night in the fog, and then the Tiger Mercenaries clash with the other mercenaries, causing the team to split up and be broken by the zombie skeletons. Ryan also describes the enemies of undead creatures such as skeletons, zombies, and bats, and what abilities each of them has, and concludes with dragging everyone's corpses out of the ground.
However, Ryan omitted that he hid in a tree and did not participate in the fight, which he felt was too embarrassing to tell. So he only talked about how he was separated from the others, wandering around in the fog alone, and finally waiting until dawn to get out of trouble.
Ryan spoke for a long time, and told all the general process, and at the end, Ryan also said to the old man: "The zombies in the mountains are too powerful, it is better not to let some people with poor strength go, so as not to suffer heavy casualties." ”
After listening to it, everyone felt shocked and started to talk about it.
The old man was also stunned, and he was deeply shocked by what Ryan had narrated. The old man came to his senses when Ryan had finished, but then he said he was going back to tell the mayor the news, and invited Ryan to come with him.
But Ryan really didn't want to go over, he just wanted to go back to the hotel to rest now. So Ryan told the old man about the wine he had been to before, and told the old man that if he wanted to find him, he could go there to find him.
Ryan didn't dare to tell the old man the address of the hotel where he was staying when he was watching the excitement next to many people, so as not to disturb him by many people, so he retreated and told the old man the address of the bar.
Then the old man hurried away.
Ryan also plans to leave, but is blocked by the skinny man and his companions.
In Ryan's recounting, he told the story of the Tiger mercenary group quarreling with other mercenaries, causing the team to split up, and finally leading to the annihilation of the entire army. This has hurt the reputation of the Tiger Mercenary Group a lot, although at this moment, with the death of many mercenaries above level 3 swordsman, the Tiger Mercenary Group exists in name only, but the remaining mercenaries such as thin men still need to live under the reputation of the Tiger Mercenary Group, so they hate Ryan to the core.
They knew very well that their own strength could not deal with Ryan, and they did not dare to unite against Ryan in full view, so they could only use other methods to deal with Ryan.
I saw the thin man ask viciously: "Don't go, you haven't made it clear yet, how did you escape?" The thin man's eyes were full of hatred, as if the people of the Tiger Mercenary Regiment had been killed by Ryan. The thin man's expression at this time was similar to the look he had when he invited Ryan yesterday.
His companions also shouted, "Tell me, how did you escape?" "The appearance of this group is exactly the same as when the soldiers interrogate the prisoners.
The people who watched the excitement at the city gate were a little excited, because there was another good show to watch next. (To be continued, "The word is provided by the Dawn Update Group.")
