Chapter 89: The Demon Corpse (Fourth Update)

"The scourge of demon corpses?"

Huang Qi saw the new mission displayed by the Assassination Token.

Different from the capture task of the prefecture-level secret capture just now, that task is a regional-type special mission, and the six doors will calculate the location of the secret capture through secret methods every once in a while, and as long as any of the secret captures approach that area, this task will be automatically triggered and taken.

Of course, the specific scope of this area is not something that Huang Qi can know now.

And now this new mission, although it is also a regional mission, is obviously a mission that has just been released, and it is an urgent mission, which belongs to the first processing sequence.

In general, the faster you solve this kind of urgent task, the sooner you can complete it, the more rewards you will get. Because the trouble that needs to be dealt with in this kind of task is often the type of large-scale scale, the longer it drags on, the greater the impact.

Jin Zhen, the scourge of demon corpses.

It turns out that this is the truth of the so-called plague?

Huang Qi looked at the people who were migrating outside the car, and his eyes flashed with a glimmer.

Huang Zhen and Du Lao have unconsciously returned to normal again.

Huang Qi made a look of closing his eyes, in fact, he was digesting all the information he had just gotten about the assassination mission.

About a month ago, there was a heavy rainstorm in the area where Jinzhen and Tongling Town are located, which lasted for ten days and ten nights.

However, although the rain was fierce, because of the strong actions of the officials, the losses of the two towns were not much, and only caused some insignificant effects.

The two towns are located in a remote area, and a place like this is not suitable for building a town. But although this place is remote, there are treasures hidden underground.

That is, there are two veins here, one for gold and one for copper.

Jinzhen relies on the gold mine, Tongling Town relies on the copper mine, and the two towns are not far from each other, and they can be reached in two days.

These two towns slowly gathered popularity entirely on the ore veins, forming two small towns.

The gold vein is located on a low hill that has been excavated for many years and is full of deep and shallow pits.

After ten days of heavy rainstorms, the huge amount of rain that accumulated seemed to have directly crushed some of the potholes, leading to unknown locations.

In the days that followed, some strange things, big and small, began to happen in Golden Town.

For example, some townspeople said that they heard wailing outside their houses in the middle of the night, and that the horror was not like that of humans.

Some people also said that when they were walking at night, they accidentally saw swollen corpses that seemed to be blistered in the streets.

It is also said that after the heavy rain, all the mice and birds that can be seen occasionally on weekdays have disappeared, and they do not know where they have gone.

Originally, the officials of Jinzhen didn't pay too much attention to these rumors, firstly, they were busy dealing with the disaster just after the rainstorm, and secondly, they were ordinary people, and they had never encountered these bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods in their lives, so they only thought that they were some small people who were delusional rumors in the market, and they should not be taken seriously.

After three or four days, something finally started to look wrong.

At first, there was a townsman who suddenly disappeared for no reason, which attracted the attention of the government.

Some people were fine the day before, but the next day they were called to work, and their homes were already empty and they didn't know where to go.

Some people go out drinking with friends, just go out to find a place for convenience, and then never come back, without a trace.

In just three days, more than 20 people went missing.

And the whole town has only a population of thousands of people, and they are all extremely familiar with each other, and there are so many people missing at once, which directly makes people panic.

The government also quickly took it seriously, and while sending the only man to start the investigation and patrol, it sent a secret report to the six gates.

As a result, after sending people to patrol the night, the night passed, and the people who patrolled the night disappeared directly.

At this time, some townspeople began to flee, fleeing to the nearby town of Tongling or beyond.

The government was already understaffed, and the situation was difficult to discern, so everyone had to make their own plans.

Just as the townspeople began to flee, the first few townspeople to disappear suddenly appeared.

The government approached them and asked them where they had been in the days since they had been missing.

The townsfolk looked dazed, their memories seemed to be stuck in the moment before they disappeared, and they didn't even know they had disappeared.

Seeing that it was not a fake, everyone replied this way, so they had no choice but to give up and pass this information directly to the six doors.

At this moment, the six gates have sent two innate realm Ming Hunters each with a team to Jinzhen to investigate the situation, but they have not yet arrived.

As time passed, soon the missing people appeared one by one, and they were like someone had stolen time, and they didn't know anything about their disappearance.

Originally, the townspeople were relieved to see this situation, except for the first few who fled, everyone else chose to stay in the town, after all, the missing people have appeared, and no one is missing, the danger no longer exists, so there is no need to flee.

Unexpectedly, the nightmare has just begun.

The missing townsfolk returned, and everyone was happy, and the town quickly returned to a peaceful state that was no longer as panicked as before.

There was just a watchman, who suddenly had a stomach upset when he was on the night watch, and he had already walked to an extremely remote place in the town, and it was too late to find a toilet, so in order not to pull his pants, he could only find a dark corner and squatted down to relieve himself.

Not long after squatting, there was a sound of footsteps and conversation on the road, and I felt that it was inappropriate, so I hid my body even more, and was careful to be discovered by others.

After the footsteps approached, the watchman looked over and found that the two were acquaintances who had just met during the day.

One of them is a missing member, who disappeared a few days ago, and only appeared today, and he went to see him during the day.

The other is a friend of the missing man, but tonight is to celebrate his return, and the two of them have only now returned home.

Seeing that the two were drunk and supporting each other all the way, they somehow hugged each other, and the two kissed passionately on the road like husband and wife. The watchers hiding in the shadows were dumbfounded.

But soon the mood turned to panic.

Because with the change of angle, the face of the person who had been hidden behind appeared in his field of vision, a terrifying face full of rotten black spots.

It was the townsman who had just returned from his disappearance.

The two were not kissing, but the other was held in the arms of the terrifying figure and could not break free, and the watchman could clearly see a pale tongue sticking out of the mouth of the rotten face into the mouth of the other person, and the blood foam continued to flow out with the agitation of the tongue, staining the clothes in front of the two of them.

It lasted for a short time, and the other man's face soon became rotten, his face was bruised and covered with dark spots, and his body that was constantly struggling stopped moving, and the watchman knew that he must be dead.

The two terrifying figures quickly separated, continued to walk forward along the original path, and soon disappeared in the eyes of the watchman.

The watchman ran into the yamen that night and told the chief in charge what he had just seen.
