Chapter 12: The Village
Obviously, it should be the time when the sun is getting stronger, but after the four of them walked into this wood, the environment became extremely cold and weird, and a mist filled it. There was a stench in the air, and the surrounding trees became blurred, and it was so eerie that it looked like a ghost domain.
"This is a low-level illusion, which inspires fear in the hearts of human beings through mysterious and unknown scenes, and the blessing technique just now can resist the spiritual invasion."
As she spoke, Ming Qiaoqiao carefully glanced at Lin Zuzu, who was not blessed, and sure enough, she found that her expression was not quite right, and it seemed that she was affected by illusion.
"Number 4, concentrate." Li Qing reminded.
"Yes." Lin Zuzu calmed down, slapped his hands on his face, and forced himself to get out of the thought just now and return his attention to the task.
The four of them advanced very cautiously, walking for eight minutes in a short distance of two hundred meters.
"There's a twisted barrier twenty meters ahead, preliminarily judged to be D-class." Liu Ying said suddenly.
As the name suggests, the Warped Enchantment is the official scientific name for Ghost Hitting the Wall. If you rush through the barrier wall, those who are not determined are likely to fall into a long cycle, and then cause danger.
Li Qing motioned for the two girls to stop, while he helped Liu Ying to approach the invisible wall.
As soon as he stood still, he saw Liu Ying quickly draw a spell in the air. Not long after, a faint light lit up behind a certain stone. That was one of the runes that created the barrier.
Mental power is really convenient. Lin Zuzu remembered the scene when he used the bricks to destroy the runes, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Liu Ying walked over to the stone and drew another spell, and the light of the rune stone gradually dimmed. She sensed that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what the problem was, so she could only take one step at a time.
"I've cut off the power of this runestone, and I'll restore it when we get back." Liu Ying remembered that they were here to investigate and negotiate, not to find fault and fight.
This sister is really reliable......
The four moved on.
As the fog grew thicker, Ming Qiao skillfully pinched his hand and summoned a few fireflies to dispel the darkness around them.
"There's a C-class silent barrier up ahead." If it weren't for him, today's mission might be in vain, and there is a high probability that the enchantment master below level B would not be able to discover this enchantment.
"No. 2 is hidden." Li Qing suddenly gave an order in a low voice.
Hearing this, Liu Ying drew a spell with her right hand, and held a rune stone hanging from her neck with her left hand, and disappeared in place in an instant.
The woman's front foot hid in the single enchantment, and Li Qing's back foot immediately ignited the fighting spirit of her body, and she drew her knife and pointed in the direction of 10 o'clock, startling several birds at once.
"Who's there?" He shouted.
After a few seconds, a man with an ordinary appearance and a gloomy expression stepped out from behind the tree, and the purple glint flashing in his eyes told his identity.
Every time Lin Zuzu blinked, he would look at the other party's face and wonder-
Did this person just look like this?
This is Nightmare's passive skill "Formless", an excellent life-saving talent.
"Human, leave." The man is very difficult to speak, and it seems that he rarely speaks.
"We are the Government Einsatzgruppen, investigating the killing of your people." Li Qing put away the knife and said that he was not hostile.
"No, let's go." The man insisted.
Lin Zuzu noticed that the other party was extremely unnatural when he spoke, as if he was suppressing something, so she spoke:
"Don't you really want to know who killed your people?"
"Get out!" The man yelled at them as if enraged.
Sure enough, yes.
Lin Zuzu faintly felt that under the anger of the other party's pretense, there was an emotion called fear hidden.
"Get out of ......" The man was about to continue driving them away, but suddenly stopped as if he had heard something.
Ming Qiaoqiao could see at a glance that they were using their spiritual power to transmit information.
"Patriarch...... Let you in. The man stumbled.
"Okay, thank you." Li Qing responded, and at the same time made a downward gesture in the direction of Liu Ying's disappearance, and raised his index finger and middle finger silently, which means-
"Number 2, stand by now."
Choosing Liu Ying to stay instead of Ming Qiaoqiao, Li Qing thought that the young genius "Courier" could help them avoid illusions, and the Enchantment Master had enough ways to destroy the enchantment even if he was outside the enchantment.
The young man with rich experience in action left a back hand for the team, so that the whole team would not be wiped out if something happened to them.
Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. It's always good to be cautious.
With the Nightmare Clan leading the way, their speed increased significantly.
During this period, Li Qing would press the walkie-talkie every fifty meters and tap it gently, and Liu Ying would reply after receiving the message outside the Extinction Enchantment, confirming that their contact with the outside world was not disconnected.
Perhaps it was because the nightmare was far away from human society, so there was no shielding barrier to isolate the electronic signals.
A few minutes later, a small village appeared in front of them, two rows of brick and tile-roofed rough houses were Nightmare's home, and there was not even putty to paint the walls. There is a lone well on the east side of the village, and there are no other living facilities.
The Nightmare live a primitive and humble life.
They hid inside the house and secretly watched the uninvited guests.
Lin Zuzu felt that those eyes contained scrutiny and curiosity, which was not strange, but ......
Why is there hostility? There is no clear evidence that the dead were killed by humans, right? In this regard, she can only keep an eye on it first.
The man led them to a room that was noticeably larger than the other rough houses.
"Patriarch, inside."
"Thank you."
Li Qing knocked on the door, and after getting a response, he entered with two young girls.
The furnishings of the room are very simple, a bed, a cupboard, a table and two chairs, and the small space still seems empty.
The patriarch is a female nightmare, and her appearance is also ordinary, but Ming Qiaoqiao can feel that this nightmare is not weak, at least her mental power is very sufficient.
She quickly used her mental power to probe the house, making sure that there were no hidden spells, and she was still ready to pinch the spell at any time.
"I know what they are here for, and we just want him to rest in peace, not to find any murderers. We are very sorry for the things that affect humanity. "He is worthy of being a patriarch, and he speaks fluently and decently.
It's just that in human society, once a murder case occurs, it must be investigated to the end.
Therefore, Li Qing did not stop at the other party's words.
He asked, "The bullets found at the scene are expensive, and they are likely to come from the more powerful races such as trolls and blood races, have you had any conflicts with other alien races?" ”
"How can it, the Nightmare Clan has always been closed, just live their own life, naturally, there will be no grudges." The patriarch said.
Lin Zuzu keenly noticed that when the young man mentioned those powerful alien races, the aura on the other side was disturbed. It's the same male nightmare as it was just now, it's a sign of fear.
What exactly are they afraid of?
It's just that because Li Qing reported the names of the races one after another, she couldn't discern which alien race made them so scared.
The cunning girl has a plan.
"Hey, I heard trolls are ugly, right?" She pretended to be innocent.
Li Qing didn't understand why she suddenly said this, and Ming Qiaoqiao next to her was also confused.
"Oh, and are the eyes of the Bloodclan really red?" When Lin Zuzu spoke, although he showed an extremely unprofessional appearance, his eyes were fixed on the patriarch, observing the other party's reaction.
So, that panic was captured by her.
I didn't expect it to be a blood clan, how could it involve a strong alien race......
"You go out first." Li Qing frowned, seemingly very dissatisfied with her performance, but secretly gave her a look.
As a teammate on the same team, of course he knew that the smart Lin Zuzu would not do stupid things. Except, of course, on the Elise thing.
"Oh, okay." The girl smiled awkwardly, pretending to be embarrassed by her recklessness, and walked quickly out of the room.
As soon as she left the room, she knocked on the door next door.
"Excuse me, do you have a restroom here?" There was a distinct sound from inside that was far from the door, but no one answered.
She knocked on the doors of several more rooms in quick succession, and it was the same thing, and Nightmare seemed to resist communicating with them.
In that case, what am I going to do to make you have to come out?
She looked around and thought about her idea, and caught a glimpse of a boy crouching with his back to her by the well, unsure of what he was doing.
Was he there all along?
Lin Zuzu cautiously leaned over to the boy.
Really, how did I start doing what a mentally handicapped protagonist would do?
"Little Kids......"
She stopped abruptly—
The boy suddenly turned his head and stared at her viciously, his expression as vicious as a venomous snake.
