Chapter Seventy-Six: The Suspect
After discussing for a long time, everyone couldn't guess why, and in the end, they could only remind themselves to be careful and strengthen their safety vigilance.
The task of searching for natural treasures is still the first priority, and the teams continue to carry out their activities for the day, but invisibly, everyone's hearts are clouded.
When night fell, the teams were no longer elated about today's harvest, and everyone seemed a little more restrained and cautious.
In Zhou Xu's wooden house, it was late at night, and none of the four people were asleep.
Gao Hongzhen tossed and turned, and the movement was a little big, which made the wooden bed creak and made Liu Heng, who was adjacent to the bed, rest.
"Why do you keep moving, I finally fell asleep, and you woke me up!" Liu Heng opened his mouth angrily.
"Can you still sleep? Don't worry about your own people disappearing in your sleep? Gao Hongzhen sat up, looking depressed.
"If you don't sleep, how can you have energy tomorrow? Besides, haven't you heard that the three missing people are all at the peak of the C-level cultivation, and when the sky falls, there are tall people who block it first. Liu Heng said.
"You mean we're going to be okay with these E-class shrimps?" Gao Hongzhen thought about it slightly, and what Liu Heng said made a little sense.
"As it stands, that's right." Liu Heng glanced at the lark's bed, among the four people, only the lark's cultivation was C-level, and he was the most dangerous.
Zhou Xu didn't fall asleep, listening to the conversation between the two, he also looked at the lark, and found that in the dark, the lark was leaning against the wall.
"Skylark, haven't you slept yet? What are you thinking? Zhou Xu asked curiously.
The lark came back to his senses and replied casually: "I was thinking that one person was missing on the first night I came to this mountain, and two people were missing on the second night, and today and the third night, there won't be three people missing, right?" ”
When Gao Hongzhen and Liu Heng heard this, they couldn't help but shudder, if this is the case, the matter will be a big deal.
Zhou Xu smiled bitterly, hoping that the lark's words would not be a prophecy again!
Everyone didn't sleep well that night, and before dawn, the senior in the inner courtyard hurriedly knocked on the door of the wooden house.
"Dong Dashu is gone! Come out and help find out! ”
The panicked voice woke everyone up from drowsiness at once, and the faces of the four of Zhou Xu changed greatly, and they went out as soon as possible.
"What the hell is going on? Did the old man leave the cabin last night? Why so careless? ”
Yu Jiaojiao anxiously grabbed Dong Dashu's male classmate in the same room and asked, the two are very good friends, she can't see each other have an accident!
"I never left the cabin! None of the three of us slept well last night, and in the middle of the night we discussed the missing people from the other teams. ”
"Yes, we had a casual chat, and when we got to the back, Dong Dashu suddenly stopped talking, we felt strange, got up and looked at his bed, only to find that the other person disappeared at some point!"
There were two classmates in the same room with Dong Dashu, and the two swore that Dong Dashu had never left the wooden house, but the person disappeared so weirdly!
Zhou Xu and the others looked ugly after hearing this, and they felt furious in their hearts.
It happened among them, and it was very different from what they heard from the other teams.
They didn't sleep much last night, and they really didn't hear anything next door, which is really weird!
The lark's expression sank, Dong Dashu is a good person on weekdays, and he takes care of him.
Now that he had an accident, he couldn't sit still, so he searched the neighborhood as soon as possible.
Everyone also took action one after another, asking if the nearby team had seen Dong Dashu.
There were no clues after this wave of inquiries, but I met other teams who were also looking for people.
An hour later, many, many people were together again!
Because, on the third night of last night, three people were missing!
The lark's speculation unfortunately came true, and this time, one person from the Binhai City Destiny Master Academy was also missing!
"The three missing people today are C-level life masters with profound cultivation, and all C-level life masters must be united." A disciple of the Sword Sect took the lead in suggesting.
"That's right, all the C-level life masters don't sleep tonight, everyone get together and see if there will be another accident." Another life master from Europa echoed the fact that six people had disappeared in a row, which had caused them a strong sense of crisis.
All the C-level life masters have no opinion, and when the D-level life masters hear about it, they are afraid that the C-level will be together, and they will become the ones who will have an accident next, and they will also join the vigil.
So more and more people signed up, and finally most of them decided to sit around the open space on the mountain tonight and see what else could happen!
With a way to deal with it, the meeting dispersed, and although the teams continued to search for natural treasures, their interest was obviously not so high.
No matter how much you get the treasures of heaven and earth, if your life is gone, what's the point?
Dong Dashu's disappearance also made Zhou Xu no longer have the mind to look for medicinal herbs, and he wandered around the mountains, trying to find some clues.
The complex of buildings on the top of the hill seems to be a product of the Stone Age, and Zhou Xu wanders through it, thinking aimlessly.
There is something strange about the architecture of this place, and I discovered it on the first day of Zhou Xu's visit.
It stands to reason that buildings should be used for living people, but the buildings here have no roofs, so they can't shelter from the wind and rain at all, and it seems that from the beginning, they were not for living people.
Zhou Xu looked at the stone pillars around him, there were all kinds of carvings on the stone pillars, flowers, grasses, insects, fish, humans and beasts, and some words that he couldn't understand at all.
It's not so much a text as a symbol, so primitive that Zhou Xu can't figure out the content of the stone carving.
If you were someone else, you wouldn't read it if you couldn't understand it, but Zhou Xu liked history very much when he was reading, and there was often a lot of unknown information hidden in these historical relics.
Only the complex at the top of the mountain has traces of civilization, and if you want to understand this place, these stones are obviously the best place to start.
Zhou Xu walked through the ruins one by one, pondering carefully.
Because of too much care, at the end of the day, the entire complex only walked a quarter of the area.
"The murderer has been found!"
When it was almost dark, there was a sudden roar of excitement, which interrupted Zhou Xu's thoughts.
He hurried out of the ruins, only to see a large crowd of people shouting and chasing and fighting, and were heading down the mountain.
"What's going on?" Zhou Xu saw the lark and stepped forward to ask.
Skylark gave a strange look, "Remember the guy who stalked us the day before yesterday?" ”
"You mean thirteen?" Zhou Xu looked surprised.
"Yes, it's him, the people of the Sword Sect and America think that he is very suspicious, and they want to arrest him, but he ran away, and now they are mobilizing everyone to catch him as soon as possible."
Zhou Xu frowned slightly, "Is there any evidence?" ”
"At first, it was the people of America who said that these thirteen had sneakily appeared near their camp, and then some people said that this thirteen was very abnormal, he didn't join any team, and even the supply bag on his body was always empty, and it didn't seem to contain many herbs, unlike everyone."
Zhou Xu couldn't laugh when he heard this, "This sounds very suspicious." ”
"Not joining any team means that he is free to move and can hide from everyone. And his supply bag is always empty, which is even more abnormal, isn't this heavenly treasure on the mountain attractive to him? But someone has obviously seen him picking herbs, where did those herbs end up? ”
The lark analyzed, "This guy is indeed very suspicious, since he can follow us and others, maybe he has been looking for prey." ”
"But he's the Shadow Saint." Zhou Xu thought about it, he couldn't figure out what the Thirteen Dynasties were going to do with these people, if it was said that the commanders of the American Union and Busan Base City could still be said to be aimed at foreign countries, but what about Dong Dashu?
He has no reason to make a move against Dong Dashu, right?
"Is it him, grab and interrogate and soon find out. Even if he refuses to say, as long as he is caught and there is no disappearance tonight, he can be sure that he is the murderer. ”
"Yu Jiaojiao and others have also caught up, it is a matter of Dong Dashu's safety, I will go too, are you with you?"
Skylark said, Zhou Xu nodded, and the two caught up with the big team together.
The hunt lasted several hours, but in the end, Thirteen was not caught.
Listening to the people at the front, Thirteen was trapped in a desperate situation by them, and he thought that he had no way out, but he never thought that he would disappear out of thin air!
It was already dark, and the light in the woods was not good, and a large group of people searched around the place where he disappeared for a long time, but could not find him.
After this situation, everyone suddenly decided that Thirteen was the murderer!
This kind of situation of disappearing without knowing the ghosts is exactly the same as those missing life masters!
Failing to catch anyone, everyone was a little afraid, worried that there would be another accident if they were left alone, so they returned to the top of the mountain.
According to the original agreement, a large group of C-class life masters sat together, and many D-class life masters also stayed nearby, feeling that it would be safer this way.
Zhou Xu and the others did not sleep, and built a bonfire near the large team.
"If Thirteen did it, and took away three people unknowingly overnight, is his cultivation only C-level?"
Everyone communicated, and Zhou Xu muttered.
"Are you so sure he's a C-class?" The lark looked at Zhou Xu with a smile.
Zhou Xumian did not change his color, "Haven't you been in contact with it before?" Guess. Besides, before entering the tree hole, they didn't all say that there were no B-class participants in this trial. ”
The lark didn't say more, got up after a while, said that he was going to the toilet, and asked Zhou Xu to accompany him.
Zhou Xu was slightly surprised, nodded, and the two left together.
"When did the friendship between these two people get good enough to go to the toilet together?" Liu Heng said in astonishment.
"When I went to the toilet, Zhou Xu didn't even take me." Gao Hongzhen was a little unhappy.
The lark and Zhou Xu walked away from the team one after the other, and when they reached the corner where no one was around, the lark asked straight to the point: "Your [knowledge], has it reached the advanced level?" ”
Zhou Xu was slightly taken aback and did not deny it.
The lark couldn't help but take a deep breath, and sure enough, it was real!
How long has this guy only awakened his life, and [Knowledge] has actually reached the advanced level, what a genius!
"It's pure luck to reach the micro level, you don't have to be too discouraged."
Zhou Xu wanted to comfort the lark, but the lark waved his hand. "Let's get down to business, since your [Knowledge] has reached the subtle level, then the thirteen specific cultivation is very clear to you, right?"
"He's at the pinnacle of the C-class." Compared with when there were many people just now, Zhou Xu described it more accurately.
