Unable to get useful information from Zhou Kitten, Zhou Fan thought about it and decided to withdraw from the Gray River space in advance, it was still not appropriate to sleep at such a time.

After a word with Eclipse, he was shrouded in gray mist and left the gray river space.

The same is true for Eclipse.

When he woke up in the room, Zhou Fan pushed the door and went out to ask his subordinates who were guarding outside the hospital, only to know that he had slept for an hour.

During this hour, there was no movement in the High Elephant City.

Zhou Fan estimated the time, and there was still an hour and a half before the nightmare in the city last night.

He also used the message to communicate with the envoys of the four towns in the other three regions, and nothing happened in the northeast, northwest, and southwest districts.

Zhou Fan can't leave this place at will, otherwise if something happens, his subordinates may not have time to inform him.

He told his men to report every once in a while, and he had to stay in the house and wait patiently while honing his martial arts.

It's just that as time gradually passes, gradually approaching the time node of the nightmare of the whole city, there is still no movement.

Occasionally, a cold wind would blow and rustle some of the greenery in the city, but other than that, the silence in the city was frightening.

Also because it was close to the time node of the nightmare, the guards of the Yiluan Division and the county officials who assisted were tense and paid attention to the movements around them.

But until last night's nightmare in the city, nothing happened.

Zhou Fan's face condensed slightly, and asked the people below not to be careless, and to be on guard before dawn.

After all, they don't appear now, but that doesn't mean they won't come, they can all come before dawn.

Zhou Fan jumped on the tile roof and looked at the lights lit up nearby in the cold winter wind in the middle of the night.

Under the dark sky are thousands of lights.

Fearing nightmares throughout the city, some people chose not to sleep through the night or took turns sleeping, so many houses in the city were oozing oil lamps tonight.

Zhou Fan raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't know if it was effective for the people in the city to do this, he was thinking more about whether they would come?

Perhaps they were aware of the city's security and did not dare to reappear, or perhaps they went to eighteen villages outside the city.

Of course, it is also possible that they were just passing by and will not reappear in the future.

But no matter what kind of speculation, it is just speculation, and this will be verified by time.

The cold wind howled, and the evening wind brought an unsettling atmosphere.

Suddenly there were howls and shouts everywhere in the city, and the silent city suddenly became noisy.

Panic, crying, and roaring sounded in the room.

Zhou Fan, who was standing on the roof, had a cold look in his eyes, they were coming!

Zhou Fan jumped off the roof, and the subordinates in the courtyard all looked at Zhou Fan nervously.

"Is there any news?" Zhou Fan asked.

The subordinates all shook their heads.

All the warriors in the city took action, some ran around the streets and alleys to check, some walked quickly on the rooftop, and also glanced down and up.

They stared at the flickering figures in the window lattices of their houses, hoping to spot some strange figures that hunted humans.

In today's preparations, everyone in the city has already been informed that if they find any strange traces, they can shout for help, and they will come as soon as possible.

The warriors tried to find cries for help in the noise of the noise, and ordered all those who were awakened by nightmares not to make random noises, lest they not hear the cries for help.

After the initial turmoil, the city became much quieter.

Zhou Fan had already jumped on the roof of the tile again, opened his eyes, even if there was little hope, he wanted to try to see if he could find out the weirdness?

But he could see the warriors running around the streets, but he couldn't see the strange traces.

Where will they hide?

"Isn't there any news yet?" Zhou Fan asked loudly again.

The subordinates in the small courtyard were silent, they were all staring at the message charm in their hands, but there was no movement from the message charm.

This made Zhou Fan's heart sink slightly, and he felt more and more uncomfortable.

Half an hour later, the nightmare of the city was long gone.

Zhou Fan stood in front of a house with a pale face, he walked in, it was a family of five, but the five men, women and children were all dead, their heads shrunk, and there were three blood holes on the top of their heads.

And this is not just one family, six families have been found in the southeast three squares tonight.

This is still Yiluan Division asking each family to quickly check the safety of their neighbors after confirming that there should be no danger, so that they can find out so quickly.

The worst happened.

After the nightmare passed, there were cases of deaths in all four districts of Gao Xiang City.

Zhou Fan squatted and checked the corpse, this was the third household he checked tonight, in fact, there was nothing to look at, and the killing method was exactly the same as last night.

Zhou Fan opened his nose, but he didn't smell anything too special.

"My lord, Lord Huang, they asked you to hurry back home. A talisman next to him walked in.

Zhou Fan nodded with a straight face, left here, he entered the Yiluan Si Mansion and appeared in the assembly room.

The four envoys of the four towns have reached three.

Zhou Fan handed over the file in his hand to Huang Bujue, and then took the file handed by the three envoys of the four towns and looked at it.

It didn't take long for Wenhoi to return.

Discussions have just begun, starting with the confirmation of the current death toll.

At present, it is known that there are 182 deaths in the city, and the characteristics of the deaths are similar, all of them have been sucked into the brain marrow.

The 182 people are about the same, if not the final death toll tonight, because it has been some time since the incident, and no one has reported the death toll again.

The district with the highest number of deaths was the southwest three squares, followed by the southeast three squares, the northeast three squares, and the northwest three squares had the lowest number of deaths.

No trace of anything strange was found in the four districts.

According to the dossier, the warriors who approached the house where the death occurred did not notice anything unusual, and they did not hear any cries for help before they died.

"They can either kill a room of people in an instant, or they can completely disable the ability to speak up. Shen Jing said in a deep voice.

"Amitabha. Wen Hoof sighed: "The question is how do they sneak into the house? We are all over the city, and there are so many people and no one can find any trace of them?"

said that it was because Yiluan Si guessed that it was most likely done by the strange group, otherwise how could it be possible to appear in the four districts of the city in such a short period of time to kill people and suck the brain marrow?

Of course, it was just speculation, and they didn't even see the strange shadow.

Wen Hoof's words made Zhou Fan and the others silent, this is indeed what puzzled them.

Those strange things came and went without a trace, such strange things were not nothing, but they were rare, and they also arranged some talisman arrays in advance for this situation, trying to make the strange things appear.

But the runic array they had set up had apparently not worked either.

The atmosphere in the assembly room was dull and depressing, and no one thought that such a careful arrangement would not have any effect at all.

It can be said that in full view of everyone, let those weirdos return with a full meal.

"Let them intensify their search, I don't believe there is no trace left. Huang Bujue said with a calm face.

"They should have wisdom. Zhou Fan suddenly spoke.

The four envoys of the four towns all looked at Zhou Fan.

Zhou Fan continued: "Only five of the people who died in these two nights were martial artists, of course, the number of martial artists was originally small, which seems not surprising, but the martial artists who died were all strength stage martial artists, and the northwest region, where the family was all over the world, had the least number of deaths, so I suspect that they may have sensed the existence of powerful martial artists in the family, so they did not dare to enter." ”

"They may be seeking advantage and avoiding harm, and they may be wise. ”

The faces of the four towns changed slightly, if it was really Zhichen, then the matter would be even more tricky, Zhichen has wisdom comparable to that of people, and they have such a secret hunting method, it is even more difficult to find them.

Gonggong Zhang frowned and said: "It may not be wise, it may be an instinct of them to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but in any case, it is a fact that they know how to avoid martial artists, and they can use the characteristic of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages to let the talismans in the division carefully check it in combination with the previous characteristics." ”

The crowd discussed for a while how to find those strange things, but they didn't have the confidence to find those strange things.

Wen Hu smiled bitterly: "After dawn, the news will definitely spread, and everyone will know that Yiluan Division has not caught and killed those monsters, and the people in the city must be panicking." ”

Hearing what Zhou Fan said, of course they also understood that the panic would spread further, and if there was no accident, there would be more people who would take refuge out of the city tomorrow.

In the long run, the decline of the High Elephant City will be inevitable, and more and more problems will occur.

Shen Jing said coldly: "I suspect that the masked man organization did it, didn't he say that he wanted us to relocate?

If you can find the masked man, maybe all the problems will be solved.

Zhou Fan shook his head and said: "It's difficult, he is wearing a mask, we don't know what he looks like, and his height and voice can be disguised." ”

Huang Bujue said: "Try as much as you can, after all, we don't have a better way, we have to continue to put pressure on the General Mansion, and let them share the files of the Mask Man Organization with us, hoping to have clues." ”

The current Yiluan Division is like a headless fly that is bumping around, and they have to try everything, hoping to find a solution.

It's been a long time since the Gao Xiangyi Luan Sifu has encountered such a tricky problem.

......

......

It was getting lighter.

It's just that the sun is obscured by gray clouds, and in the winter days of Gaoxiang County, such cloudy days are not uncommon.

Even if it weren't for this weather, the magnificent High Elephant City was still covered with a layer of gray haze.

As the day dawned, what happened last night spread as Yi Luan Si thought.

Yiluan Si returned with a feather, more than 100 people died last night, and the strange thing was still not found, and all kinds of news circulated in the city.

The scholars in the city impassionedly cursed the county government and the Yiluan Division who were ineffective, but they scolded and scolded, and their hearts were panicked, if the Yiluan Division couldn't do anything, then the matter would be serious, maybe it would be the turn of one of them tonight.

In the streets and alleys, there were whispers of discussion, and people's faces showed fear and fear.

Zhou Fan came out of Yiluan Division and walked on the street that was still quite lively, and of course he also noticed the fear on the faces of the people on the street.

He sighed, the Sifu was still trying to think of various countermeasures, but they might not be effective.

I didn't sleep much last night, and during the day, only Gonggong Zhang was still guarding the Yiluan Mansion, and the other three envoys of the four towns and Zhou Fan could come back to rest.

Some of the warriors of the Yiluan Division Mansion also took turns off.

No matter how strong a person is, it is impossible to do things without sleep.

If the spirit of everyone in Yiluan Division is too tense, I'm afraid it will also collapse, so when it's time to rest, you still have to rest.

Zhou Fan returned to his house, he beat his spirits, did not fall asleep immediately, but checked it carefully, and after confirming that there was no problem, he laid out a talisman array, summoned Xiao Xuan, and asked Xiao Xiaoxuan to monitor the surroundings, so that he fell asleep peacefully.

He hadn't forgotten that he had been hiding behind him, and the monk had not appeared.

Zhou Fan slept very deeply, and was only woken up by Xiao Xuan at noon.

After waking up, Zhou Fan was not surprised that he was asleep and did not enter the gray river space, after such a long time, he had already summed up a certain pattern.

Generally, after entering the Gray River space, it is close to six hours of sleep before it is likely to appear on the boat, of course, sometimes it does not take six hours to enter the Gray River space.

Why this is happening, Zhou Fan doesn't understand, but if you can't enter the Gray River space when you sleep during the day, you can ask the guide for help and pay a certain price to enter the Gray River space.

After Zhou Fan woke up, his face was serious again, thinking of various things that had happened recently.

Whether it was the monk hiding in the shadows or the strange man who was still nowhere to be seen, it brought him great oppressive force.

Zhou Fan took out a piece of golden qi refining crystal jade from the talisman bag, which was also the last piece of golden qi refining crystal jade on his body.

As early as a few days ago, he had successfully entered the middle stage of martial arts, and this was the case with the third stage of qi refining, as long as the true qi of refining reached a certain level, it would be a matter of course, and there would generally be no threshold for breaking through the realm waiting for him.

Now refining this golden qi refining crystal jade, with it, he will be able to complete the martial arts level today!
