Chapter 332 I am willing to do anything
Everyone has symptoms, which means that everyone will follow the footsteps of the old Werther family, and everyone will die, including us.
Even if I knew this, I couldn't think of leaving.
There is no reason, just to stay here, and he does not hesitate to find all kinds of ridiculous excuses for this, just like the animals in the barn, and the Werther family who have become soft and fused together, sticking to the corner.
It's not that there is any resistance to leaving, but that the refusal to leave has been marked from the depths of consciousness.
This is what makes the two of them feel cold.
There is no way to escape, and we can only watch death approaching step by step, which is so despairing.
‘Neighbor...’
【Huh? 】
'No, nothing. ’
Lynch gritted his teeth hard.
Reliance and dependence are two concepts. She is my only support, but I cannot rely on her.
Asking neighbors for help with everything will only turn me into a waste. Isn’t the most important thing in a person’s life the courage to face difficulties?
‘I just want to invite my neighbors to accompany me to enjoy the precipitous wonders on the Immortal Road. ’
[Heh...my pleasure, neighbor. 】
Lynch took a deep breath and let his courage wash away his fear. Very good. I accept your challenge. Mysterious, your opponent is private detective Lynch Leviev.
"Several possible factors for the mysterious incident."
The townspeople are still arguing over who should call the police, and they all want others to go without leaving the town. Lynch's The police officer's voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
Only then did Lynch realize that she had returned to normal earlier than him, and had already started looking for countermeasures immediately: "Mysterious memories include strange objects, mysterious documents, mysterious aliens, and cultists' sacrifices. These are the four main categories, and the others are too much." Unpopular, no reference value."
"It's not a strange thing, we have basically visited the whole town." "Huh?" Ms. Police shot. Patting Lynch on the shoulder, he continued, "It's not like a mysterious document. Document-type incidents behave differently."
"Then only aliens and cultists will be left to sacrifice." Lynch thought while the townspeople were still arguing, "Although the beginning and signs of the incident cannot be determined yet, the sign of the outbreak of the incident can be determined to be the death of living things. Some kind of force affects all creatures, causing them to die one after another, while preventing any living creatures from leaving here."
"The beginning should be the skyrocketing growth of plants. I heard the mayor mention it just now on the road. The pastures of each family are growing very luxuriantly, a phenomenon that has not been seen in decades. This is one of the typical signs of mysterious events. I think plants are also included in the scope of biological things. If nothing else, this should be the beginning. "
"No wonder, I thought the grass was growing too well just now," Lynch nodded. "But even if we find the beginning and the outbreak sign, it is not easy to solve the problem immediately."
< br>
The police officer said calmly, "We still have a few days now. Judging from what has happened, the Witte family did not die until two days after the Witte family's cow died. The other three cows died less than two days. So they are all alive, then we have at least two days, maybe more."
"No, I thought so too, but don't forget, neither we nor the officials in the town have cattle. Yes, but we were still affected. This probably means that there is no necessary time relationship between the death of the cow and the death of the person. It is just that his cow just died before them. Something was exhausted, so death came. , It’s not a matter of time, it’s just that it’s not exhausted.”
“Huh, so we have no safe time”
"Yes, cows or people may die every minute, and it is a collective death as a family unit." Lynch sighed and said self-deprecatingly, "And we don't know what happened at all, and we don't know who our opponent is. Who has to race with the other party and kill him before he dies? "
The police officer kicked him in the calf with an expressionless face: "Stop talking nonsense and get to work."
"Mayor..."
The fat mayor stood outside the Werther family's animal shed, looking at the middle-aged official and young female police officer who pulled him aside, feeling quite uneasy.
The two said they wanted to ask him about something. His years of administrative experience allowed him to tell from their expressions that the matter was not as simple as just killing a few people.
Something big is going to happen.
"We are no longer officials who buy dead cows." Lynch said with a straight face and a very official tone, "I am a consultant to the Governor's Mansion, and she is an investigator of the King's Direct Force. We realized that some serious things happened in the town. The bad things came here specifically for this."
"What happened?" It sounded ridiculous, but what the two said while holding government badges and riding in a luxurious carriage. Because the mayor didn't believe it, the fat mayor's expression immediately became tense, his round face full of anxiety, "No, no more people will die, nothing will happen to the town."
Lin Qihe Na Officer Tully was stunned. Everyone in this town was selfish, but he didn't expect that there was someone who cared about other people.
"I have been sent here for forty years. I have watched most of the people in this town grow up. I have long regarded myself as a person here. How could I not care." The fat mayor wiped the sweat from his forehead. , sighed and said, "I don't want to see anything happen to this town." The sincere tone made Lin Qi's expression soften a lot, and comforted him: "Don't worry, we are just professionals here to deal with the problem, nothing unexpected happens. If so, the incident will be resolved quickly."
"Then...what about the accident?"
The female police officer next to her said calmly: "That will solve it faster."
"She refers to us, everyone here."
Then, the fat mayor's face became even more ugly.
"Oh, we are trying not to be solved, but this requires your cooperation."
The fat mayor immediately stood up straight and said firmly: "You two sirs, please feel free to give the order, as long as we can protect this place." This is a small town, and I’m willing to do anything, no matter what.”
This is not nonsense.
Lynch shook his head: "It's not that serious. I want you to recall. Is there any family like the old Werther family that has never shown up today? Note that none of them have shown up."
"This... I'm going to ask them, will something happen to them?"
Seeing Lynch shaking his head silently, the mayor Mark ran anxiously to other townspeople. When he returned a moment later, His face had become extremely solemn.
Yes, a man named Carlos, who lives with his wife and six children, has not shown up even a day today.
It seemed that it was another tragedy. Lin Qi’s mouth twitched and he sighed secretly: “Let’s go, take us there, and explain to us clearly what is going on with the land dispute in the town on the way. We suspect There is a connection between the two. "
"It's not the influence of the land acquisition order. I really want to thank the big shots in the Governor's Mansion." The fat mayor who led the way sighed, "In recent years, people have come to the town frequently. The townspeople were unwilling to sell their land and farms, so they used various means to force them to give in, including setting fires, intimidation, and threats. They even sealed a door. Fortunately, everyone was more determined and refused. Sell.”
Lynch asked: "The conditions are not good?"
"Actually, they are very good. That is a large amount of money, which is enough for the townspeople to find another way of living. But the people here are nostalgic and just want to hold on for a generation." The land that has been passed down from generation to generation will stay in your home forever, and you will never leave it until you die."
Hiss, so Old Werther refuses to leave home? That would be too ironic. Lynch frowned and asked: "What about Will Trevor?"
"Will is my best friend here. When he was young, he inherited a large inheritance and opened a bank in the town. In the past few years, he said he supported the townspeople's struggle against those who acquired the land. He not only introduced it to everyone, Better business, and he was willing to lend money to each family to expand breeding. In fact, I think he really wanted to help everyone, but he gradually changed for some reason.”
People's hearts are unpredictable, and no one will ever change. Lynch shook his head and said, "Do you think it's possible that he planned everything?"
"It must be him. No one but him can do such a vicious thing." The fat mayor did not hesitate. said.
"Mayor, you saw the lights at Carlos' house."
The shouts of several farmers in front interrupted Lynch's inquiry. Sure enough, a farmhouse had appeared not far away.
The dim light of the gas lamp danced, casting silhouettes of the people inside on the translucent frosted glass windows. It was not clear, but the figures were moving as usual, at least they did not walk into the Werther house. old road.
"It's a bit quiet." Lynch frowned, "All his livestock are dead too?"
"No." Several farmers looked at each other, "They were still alive and well yesterday."
"It's okay, let's make sure the safety of this house is safe first."
Lynch said, already reaching into his arms to hold the pistol tightly, and at the same time made a knocking motion on Officer Natalie.
“Dang, Dang, Dang.”
The shadows on the window moved for a moment, and several shadows quickly huddled together, but there was always silence in the room. I wonder if they were too scared to come out. Voice.
"Is Carlos here? I'm Mark. Let's take a look at your situation." Mayor Mark asked nervously, "Don't be afraid, let's take a look and leave."
The figure shook, but still No one answered and the room was silent.
Lin Qi frowned and nodded to Officer Natalie. The police officer suddenly pulled out her sword, and with a flash of sword light, she cut the thick wooden door in half, left up and down, and then a Rolled and rushed in.
"No one else is allowed in." A few seconds later, the deep voice of the police officer came out, "Lynch, come and take a look."
