Chapter 32 Black Lake II
Gilan walked out of the Black Lake Hotel alone.
He stood at the door of the hotel, and what he could see was a bleak scene.
Under the gloomy sky, the shops and houses on the roadside were deserted, and there were almost no people on the road. The few locals passing by would even cast disgusted eyes at him.
‘This town seems very exclusive. ’
Jilan secretly thought.
‘It is probably not unreasonable for the local tourism bureau to vigorously develop tourism... Coal mines and wood products, which are pillar industries, will eventually be used up, but the town is still lagging behind. ’
What he is actually more interested in in this movie is whether the so-called demons in the Black Lake really exist... If they exist, is there some mysterious power to deal with them?
At this moment, Ji Lan suddenly felt a sense of being watched.
It was as if someone was behind him, staring straight at him.
Uh-huh!
With the windbreaker raised, his hand quickly placed on his waist, holding the handle of the gun, and turned around suddenly at the same time.
A sneaky figure swished past and disappeared behind the hotel.
Gilan frowned and immediately rushed into the narrow alley like a cheetah.
The hotel is less than two meters away from the grocery store on the left. There is a large trash can, scrapped bicycles and other debris blocking the road in the alley, but none of these can stop Jilan.
He had an extraordinary physique, held the top lid of the trash can with one hand, and with a bang, he jumped over, taking three steps and one step at an extremely fast speed.
In almost two breaths, he chased behind the hotel.
The spy ran less than ten meters away. He was wearing a pair of plaid casual pants and a khaki shirt and jacket. Judging from the back, he should be a middle-aged man.
Seeing Jilan chasing after him, the man howled angrily, stopped and turned around to pounce.
This man wore a reindeer mask on his face and held a survival dagger tightly in his hand. He raised the knife and slashed at Gilan.
puff! !
Before the knife fell, Ji Lan hit the opponent's face hard with a right hook. The reindeer mask immediately shattered, mixed with blood and foam flying everywhere.
After a muffled sound, the man fell heavily.
Behind the broken half of the mask was a ferocious and hateful face. His bloody face was unshaven, his eyes were red, and he was roaring like a crazy mental patient:
"Kill ! Kill them all! Your blood can be exchanged for the gift of the Lake God!"
When Jilan saw this, his eyes narrowed.
This man's state reminded him of those crazy villagers in "Yuezhuo Village".
‘Also contaminated by mysterious power and miasma? '
A normal person would be punched in the face by Gillan. Not to mention being seriously injured and unconscious, he should at least lose the ability to move. However, the crazy man in front of him held up his bleeding mouth and nose, got up as if nothing had happened, and raised the dagger. Pounced again.
Jilan looked at it coldly and moved suddenly.
He clamped the man's knife-holding wrist with his left hand, made a fist with his right hand, and punched the man's throat, chest and abdomen several times in the blink of an eye.
Bang bang bang bang! !
The man opened his mouth and vomited blood, his eyes widened, and the dagger in his hand fell.
Pop!
Jilan grabbed the opponent's head and forced him to kneel down.
"Who are you? Why are you spying on me secretly?" he asked.
"Kill...kill you, the Lake God will live forever...elixir."
The man's expression was almost distorted, his mouth was bleeding, but he was still mumbling crazy things.
After saying that, his body went limp and he died on the spot bleeding from all his orifices.
Jilan couldn't help but let go of his hand and let the body fall, frowning.
He controlled the force of his attacks so as not to beat an adult man to death with just a few punches.
The next second, the man's body began to decay rapidly, collapsed, and finally turned into dust and scattered. And the colored number "1" appeared in the corner of Jilan's sight.
"It is indeed contaminated..." He stood there, thinking. "Is this guy a member of the so-called 'Lake God Cult'? Have all the cultists lurked in the town?"
Cang Dang! !
At this moment, there was a sudden impact and the sound of glass breaking behind Gilan.
He looked back, but was startled.
I saw Mr. Oystercatcher fall from the second floor window and hit the trash can in the alley hard.
Bang! !
Mr. Oystercatcher smashed the iron trash can into a dent and rolled to the ground. His body was covered with small wounds scratched by glass shards.
Jilan stepped forward quickly and helped the wailing strong man up.
"Mr. Oystercatcher, are you okay?" he asked.
The strong man's face was full of pain. It took him a long time to regain his breath and shook his head slightly towards Jilan.
Perhaps due to his martial arts practice, Mr. Oystercatcher is quite strong and was not seriously injured after falling from the second floor.
"I...Miss Sparrow and I saw a suspicious figure in the corridor on the second floor. After chasing him, we picked up a piece of parchment left by the other party, which recorded an alchemy item called 'Elixir'. .”
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, arched his back and explained:
"But before I had time to take a closer look, I was snatched back by the man, struggled with him, and then was accidentally pushed down by him. Go downstairs... Go back, don't let him escape!"
"I understand." Ji Lan nodded. "Be careful."
He turned around and returned to the hotel. He couldn't help but think of the man he killed just now who was suspected of being a member of the "Lake God Cult". He was probably the same suspicious person who injured Mr. Oystercatcher. It's a group.
But when he rushed back to the hotel, he found that everything was as before.
None of the bartender, bartenders or guests were panicked or strange, they were still drinking and talking and laughing. Instead, the noise of his hastily opening the door caused a burst of yelling and cursing.
Gilan was too lazy to talk nonsense with these people, so he took out his short-barreled revolver and shot into the air.
Bang! !
"Shut up." He pointed the gun at everyone in the bar. "Did anyone see a suspicious guy coming down from upstairs?"
Everyone present was silent, raising their hands and looking at the gun in his hand in horror.
After a long while, only the white-haired old man named "Old Toto" said solemnly:
"Except for your two companions, no one has ever come down."
Gilan After confirming their appearance, it was finally determined that the two people who came downstairs were actually Mr. Stork and Miss Seagull.
‘Still up there! ’ He immediately turned and stared at the stairs to the second floor.
If Old Toto did not lie, it means that the suspicious person is still upstairs.
However, Miss Sparrow and Fima ran down at this time.
"Mr. Snow Owl!" Miss Sparrow was shocked when she saw Gillan threatening everyone with a gun. She quickly walked up to him and whispered: "Mr. Oystercatcher was fighting with a man. , fell downstairs!"
"I know, he is fine." Gillan shook his head. "Where is that man?"
Miss Sparrow frowned at this moment, and after a moment of hesitation she said:
"I obviously watched him running downstairs... didn't you? Are you there?”
Gillan looked weird.
According to what Miss Sparrow said, did that person suddenly disappear?
He took a deep breath and put the revolver back into his waist.
"Let's help Mr. Oystercatcher back to the room to rest first, and we'll talk about it after Mr. Stork and the others come back... This matter is a bit weird."
Jilan said solemnly.
Miss Sparrow got the answer from his face and nodded solemnly.
Thanks to "Happy Puff" for the 6500 points reward!
Thanks to “Big White Dog” for the 300-point reward!
