Chapter 64: Unhuman
The body is wrapped in animal skins, with dense tattoos drawn on the skin. The gray beard and hair are disheveled, and his eyes are half open and half closed, as if he is not awake.
The old man walked out of the forest surrounded by mountain people and walked straight towards the cabin.
There was a pressure that directly struck the soul as he looked around, and there seemed to be a faint electric light hidden in his eyes. The most important thing was that the old man took one step at a time.
That’s true.
Every time he touched his feet, the weeds he touched seemed to have suddenly lost their vitality. They withered and withered in an instant, leaving a withered footprint the size of a foot on the ground. From far to near, step by step , a string of strange yellow footprints extended towards the hut.
The speed is not fast, and he stops and goes, but every strange footprint is like a piercing death knell, hitting Lin Qi's heart hard.
Looking at this group of mountain people, Lin Qi saw another strange phenomenon before his eyes.
He seemed to see an endless sea of corpses. A group of dog-faced monsters that he had seen in the photos were squatting next to the corpses like humans and raised their heads, with big mouths of carrion and corpse liquid. The combination with the honest and simple faces of the mountain people gave Lin Qi an indescribable sense of weirdness and fear.
My damn inspiration doesn't even leave me any room for fantasy. These people are really all ghouls. I just entered a villa to investigate, but why did I encounter a group of monsters? Is this the power of the physique to attract mysterious events?
As soon as Lynch came up with this idea, he felt the stiffness of the police officer's muscles from the contact limbs, and even his voice was a little dry: "Damn, it's a high-level one."
"Strong?"
"One look can crush us, and we don't even need a look." The police officer clenched her fists hard to control the trembling of her muscles. "His pressure is too strong. It's a natural reaction. I'm sorry."
Lin Qi felt cold and asked in a low voice: "Why don't you hide? The cellar or the attic on the ceiling is smaller but you can hide."
"It's too easy to be discovered, and we are the police, representing It’s the royal family and order that are responsible for the normal search for missing persons, and they should not dare to do anything at will.”
The police officer held Lin Qi's hand and whispered:
"Listen, Lin Qi, I will open the door later and identify myself as a police officer. I know how to scare them. You use your ability to hide, Sneak out while the door is open and go back to the city as soon as possible to notify Victor. Don't worry, there is no danger on my side. You are just adding a layer of insurance for me and waiting for me to meet back in the city."
< br>"Fart, if there is really no danger, you wouldn't let me hide to save my life. If you want me to hide it, it means you don't have the confidence in your heart. You are not sure whether they will suddenly go crazy. Do you think I am a fool? You You want to use this method to insult me again. Let me tell you, woman, I have tolerated you for several days. I have never learned to escape. If you want to die together, you still owe me three conditions. I will not let you Ran away.”
The six humanoid mountain people outside had walked out of the dense woods and entered an open area less than ten meters around the hut. The sunlight penetrated through the forest and shone on the pointed roof of the hut, casting a sword-like shadow directed at them.
The old man observed as he walked, his eyes scanning the hut from time to time. Every time he glanced at it, Lin Qi felt his heart tightening and the pressure was too great.
But Lynch grabbed the police officer and pulled her out of the window to avoid being seen from a distance by the mountain people outside.
"Don't go out and have direct contact with them. I don't like to leave life and death to others, especially when the people who make the decision are a group of monsters. I saw this old mountain man the other day. His perception seems to be very sharp. I actually found a way to survive." Do you want to go crazy with me?"
"I don't like letting mysterious creatures decide whether to live or die."
"Then listen to me, let's hide in the attic warehouse first. , it’s best if you don’t get discovered. If you get discovered, let me try. If you can’t take the risk anymore, at worst, you will die with my three conditions, and I won’t lose.”
"Who are the three conditions, you bastard." Even though she was feeling uneasy, the police officer punched him but did not retort and followed him to the master bedroom on the second floor.
The secret staircase leading to the attic is actually very hidden. If Officer Natalie hadn't understood the structure of houses in this era, it would have been difficult to discover it just now. The two of them first pulled down the hidden ladder leading to the attic, then lay down at the window and peered down.
I dare not look at the old mountain people, but my eyes can be on the other young mountain people.
These mountain people look similar to what they looked like in the telescope a few days ago. However, when viewed up close, they appear to be thicker and more oppressive.
They stayed downstairs for a while, did a rough check around, and then walked towards the cabin unabashedly. Soon, the sound of turning the door lock sounded at the door on the first floor. sound.
Sure enough, they came here for this house. The mastermind behind the photo frame should be contacting them, but I don't know what role each played here.
Lynch no longer hesitated and pointed to the top of his head. Officer Natalie did not ask any questions, and the two climbed up to the attic together. It's said to be an attic, but it's actually a small half-floor storage space, with a set of tables and chairs set up by Maya.
Almost at the same time that the door downstairs was forcibly broken open, the two of them also pulled up the hidden ladder, plunging the attic into darkness. In fact, there was a kerosene lamp on the table, but neither of them dared Lit it up, just groping in the dark and listening to the noise downstairs.
With the sound of footsteps, the mountain people poured into the cabin, and the two finally heard their voices.
That is a pronunciation that is enough to give people nightmares at night.
The speed is rapid and the pitch is similar to a baby's cry. Everyone's pronunciation is like this, extremely harsh.
I can barely understand the content, but when you can't see anyone in the dark attic and only hear this weird sound coming from below from time to time, it will inevitably make your hair stand on end.
Following a violent cough, an old voice sounded particularly deep in comparison.
"Look carefully and find the female reporter. I can smell her scent. She lives here. The sooner the better. Leave as soon as possible after searching, so as not to alarm the humans in Rhine City."
"Yes, Your Excellency, the priest."
A few mountain people responded sharply, and soon there was the sound of rough doors opening and closing on the first floor.
“Don’t be so rude. We are human beings now. We must at least abide by the most basic human rules. Children, stay a little gentlemanly. In addition, if you see a large cabinet with books, put a wooden frame inside Bring it to me, the man said he put it in the bookcase.”
Hiss... Lynch touched the empty photo frame that was brought up. After Officer Natalie destroyed it just now, the image on it had faded, and now it was just an ordinary photo frame. It seemed that the mastermind behind the empty picture frame left the picture frame in order to contact these mountain people, but the purpose was unknown. Fortunately, he destroyed his conspiracy earlier.
"Your Excellency, the priest, we didn't find the female reporter on the first or second floor."
"That shouldn't be the case. The sensation on her body came from here. It was still there this morning. It can't be wrong. , that person also said that she is here. And the same smell she left is everywhere. According to my six senses, it is definitely unmistakable. "I don't know if the old priest sniffed or not, but the old priest's voice suddenly changed. After a pause, his tone became serious, "I smell the smell of strangers, there are living people here!"
