I want to ask who this guy is that appears in front of him.
I would like to ask what exactly this place is and what its relationship is with me.
only.
He only felt as if his throat was being suppressed by something, and all the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.
If I have to describe it.
It's like meeting a "ghost on the bed". What you want to say, no matter how hard you try, you can only make a little sound out of your mouth.
So small that it’s even fainter than the sound of a mosquito…
The man in front of the wooden house saw Qianye in distress and seemed to have guessed the reason.
He took steps, dragging the huge iron chain and slowly moved towards Qianye...
It's a pity that the chain is not long enough.
After just taking a few steps, he couldn't move any further. The iron chain limited his travel distance.
There was a clang sound.
The man lowered his head and saw the chains binding his limbs. He let out an impatient "tsk" and gave up on approaching Qianye...
It seemed that he also knew that there was nothing he could do with the chain.
"Forget it, I'll keep the story short."
Qianye was speechless and could only watch the man's performance silently.
He stood where he was.
His intuition told him that the guy in front of him was very dangerous and he should not have any idea of getting close to him.
Don't say it now...
Even if he had the ability to modify the plot, or add those strange sources of curses, Qianye would not have the confidence to face the man in front of him.
"Why......"
This sense of crisis comes from instinct.
It's like a mouse meets a cat, a sheep meets a wolf.
It's a fear that bursts from the bones...
The man didn't know Qianye's state at this time. He simply raised his head, then stretched out a finger to Qianye and said calmly.
"Do you have any wishes you want to realize? I can help you realize it. Anything is fine."
Inexplicable.
The man said this.
Qianye did not respond immediately, and the man did not urge him but waited patiently.
Time slips away little by little through the fingers...
Until the scene in front of me shattered.
What stood out in Qianye's sight was the man's patiently waiting face.
Waiting.
The wish he would make...
...
...
The coldness came from unknown corners.
Qianye was so excited that he opened his eyes.
It's already dawn.
It can be seen from the gap in the door panel of the small shabby house...
After all, Chen Xiaowei and Lin Yuan could not overcome their sleepiness. One was curled up on the table, and the other was lying on the bed sleeping soundly.
Slight snores came from between the noses of the two of them. Qianye stood up with his sore back and stretched out for an uncomfortable amount of time.
There was a pool of light yellow water stains in the corner of the wooden house. It seemed that both of them listened to Qianye's words. When they wanted to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, they chose the method Qianye said.
"I just don't know who made this thing. I hope it won't become unbearably smelly after fermentation for a while."
She must have been sleeping uncomfortably on the table, as the slightest movement from Qianye had already woken up Chen Xiaowei.
She raised her head with difficulty, perhaps due to a stiff neck due to incorrect posture, so she couldn't help but groan in pain when she moved...
"It's dawn?"
"Well, you should be able to tell if you look around a little."
Qianye answered Chen Xiaowei's words.
Fortunately.
The sleeping position last night did not make Qianye's limbs numb. He shook his head to wake up a little, and began to take stock of the current situation.
That guy Lin Yuan should be awake too.
Qianye noticed that the other party's eyelids were trembling slightly, most likely because he was pretending to be asleep with some hidden thoughts.
He yawned and ignored Lin Yuan's little movements. He turned around and prepared to open the door and look outside.
"Hey, can you untie the rope on my hand? I want to go to the toilet."
Chen Xiaowei's voice came from behind.
Qianye looked sideways and realized that this would indeed make it very inconvenient for the other party to go to the toilet. With his hands tied, it would be difficult to even take off his pants, let alone in a dark cabin.
Well, it seems that Lin Yuan was undoubtedly the one who peed last night.
After thinking about it, Qianye untied the rope from Chen Xiaowei's hand. The latter felt that her hands could move, and she finally felt a rare sense of relief.
"Do you want to go out?" Chen Xiaowei noticed Qianye's thoughts.
"Well, what?"
Qianye answered without concealment.
"Then I want to go out for convenience."
"Whatever you want."
It was not night now, and the level of danger was not proportional to that of daytime. Moreover, it was very quiet outside at this time. Except for the occasional call of unknown birds, there was no other sound.
Qianye did not restrict Chen Xiaowei from having to solve her physical problems at home.
certainly.
The main reason was that he suddenly thought that if someone made a lot of feces and urine in the house, the house would be so smelly that it would be completely uninhabitable in less than ten days...
After opening the cabin, Chen Xiaowei immediately ran towards the back of the cabin as if she couldn't help it. She held up her pants with both hands and ran like an old hen about to lay eggs.
Qianye didn't care about her, and he wasn't interested in others going to the toilet.
He walked towards the opposite direction of the road. He wanted to see what happened to the place where the screams came from last night...
The grass on the roadside is very messy.
Without anyone building it, most of it has reached to the knees.
After lying down in the grass and walking about two hundred meters, Qianye discovered some clues in the grass.
The scarlet blood was stained on the grass blades, and it had all dried up because it had been too long.
And the further you go, the more blood will be left behind.
Until he came to a large piece of blood, Qianye stopped in his tracks...
"It's a bit miserable."
What he saw in front of him at this time was a female corpse that had become disfigured.
His thighs and hands had disappeared without a trace, and there was a blood hole the size of a finger in his neck, surrounded by skin soaked in blood.
Countless ants and mosquitoes were climbing on the corpse, as if they had found a paradise and were working hard to carry food.
Others hang on the wound, burrow into the flesh with their sharp mouthparts, and greedily suck the blood inside...
"Did the replicator do it?"
Qianye recalled those guys who were dismembered, and felt that there was always something strange about the corpses in front of him.
After thinking for a while, he realized what this strange point was.
"No, her head is still there. If it was made by a clone, the head shouldn't be left."
He looked at the woman's body from top to bottom.
There are already vague speculations in Qian Ye's mind.
If the inference is correct, this dead woman may have been poisoned by the same kind of people.
The blood hole in the neck was probably a fatal injury, and the location of the broken limbs was probably only after the blood hole appeared...
A moment.
The situation last night appeared in Qianye's mind.
Combining all the information he knew so far, he imagined what happened last night...
Lin Yuan said.
There is no food nearby.
He has been able to survive until now by eating grass roots and tree bark to satisfy his hunger.
Then besides him, there must be people who are hungry until now...
The dead silence of the town does not mean that there is no one there.
Instead, everyone hid and divided into two camps: cat and mouse...
The dead woman looked very thin. In an elimination-based game where curse sources cannot be used, her figure was at a disadvantage in some aspects.
As a woman, my body is naturally not very strong.
With neither labor nor safety guaranteed, Qianye felt that if the opponent was just an ordinary person with a simple mind, his first thought would be to find a reliable teammate.
Use your own valuables to reach some kind of deal with the other party...
only.
The deal now appears to have failed.
The corpse of a woman is a good example of this problem.
When all the food is eaten and there is no way to find food, a woman who is useless and has an extra mouth appears to be very dangerous in such a situation...
His teammates were probably very hungry.
Then, taking advantage of the darkening sky last night, he took some kind of sharp weapon and used trust to sneak attack on the woman's neck, leaving such a wound.
Well, the reason why it is said to be a sneak attack.
That's because the injured part of a woman's body will be relatively hidden.
If it was a chase, the back would be injured first or something...
After all, under normal circumstances, with a weapon in hand and a person running away with their back turned, most people would give priority to attacking their back.
"Then the limbs..."
Qianye observed the woman's severed limbs and was surprised to find that none of the four wounds were caused by sharp objects.
He searched around and finally found the culprit that caused all this.
It's an angular stone...
The blood stained on the stone cannot look like it was splashed on it.
Think about it a little bit.
The scene of a woman covering her bleeding neck and running away, followed by people chasing her, appeared in Qianye's mind.
Because the wound is more serious.
Moreover, women have no advantage at all in terms of speed, so they fell down when they reached this position...
The pursuer pinned the woman down.
Then he picked up the stone next to him and threw it at the woman's limbs.
Blood and flesh splattered, and the woman's cry for help seemed very pitiful...
When she finally lost her breath, the man was still tearing at her limbs.
What would an extremely hungry man do after tearing off his limbs?
Chino can understand this without even thinking about it.
"If this is the case, then there is indeed no need to take away the head."
Qianye crossed his arms on his chest.
There was an indescribable uneasiness in my heart.
Assuming that the situation last night was really as he thought, it could at least mean that there was someone with murderous intentions hiding not far from the cabin.
Killing someone so cruelly.
Even if it's just the first time, it can be dangerous.
The state of mind will become completely different from that of ordinary people...
There is a saying that goes like this.
When indulgence and mistakes are not punished accordingly, such indulgence and mistakes will make a person addicted.
Qianye guessed that if that person no longer had any soft-hearted thoughts...
"It's troublesome, I just don't know where to hide."
"Xie Aishan, can you find it?"
"There is no way..."
All right.
There is a high probability that this person can only wait for him to come out on his own initiative.
Qianye just hoped that the other party would not target him.
He didn't want to deal with too many troubles. Being able to spend ten days peacefully and peacefully was one of the few things he expected...
Sighing, Qianye prepared to leave.
Things have already happened. After getting the information you want to know, there is no need to stay any longer.
It's impossible for him to still hold a memorial ceremony for a woman here.
This woman, who was likely to be killed by her companions, could only feel sorry for her misfortune.
at the same time.
Qianye also felt that she should say something to Chen Xiaowei.
After all, cities and towns have changed drastically, and many people can no longer be treated as human beings...
You should be vigilant when meeting anyone.
But before Qianye could walk back to the small wooden house, Chen Xiaowei ran over and found him.
The other person's face looked a little strange, as if something had happened.
"What's wrong?"
Qianye asked curiously.
"That's the guy lying on the bed...what's his name?"
"Lin Yuan."
"Oh yes! Lin Yuan." Chen Xiaowei was reminded and thought about it. She paused for a second and then added: "Lin Yuan is gone."
"Gone?"
Qianye and Chen Xiaowei returned to the small wooden house.
Just as the other party said, there was no trace of the man who was supposed to be lying on the bed.
The bed was in a mess, and it was obvious that he must have been in a hurry when he got up.
Although he knew from the beginning that Lin Yuan was pretending to sleep and had some strange thoughts in his mind, he really didn't expect that Lin Yuan would dare to run away.
"No, if he ran away, he should have stolen that thing." Qianye glanced at the bag at the foot of the bed with some confusion. Logically speaking, Lin Yuan knew that the bag was placed under the bed, and it was full of food. It was important.
it goes without saying.
Even if there are a lot of them, it is inconvenient to take them all away.
But there's no problem with at least taking that half bag...
"Aren't you using the toilet behind the wooden house? Didn't you hear any strange noises?" Qianye turned to Chen Xiaowei and asked.
"No." Chen Xiaowei shook her head.
"Tsk, that's really weird."
Qianye narrowed his eyes. He was not worried about Lin Yuan escaping, so even if Lin Yuan pretended to be asleep before, he didn't take it too seriously. Moreover, if he really escaped, he would be more likely to get some information from the other party.
After all, Xie Aishan had already memorized Lin Yuan's smell.
He can find the other party wherever he escapes...
It's just that it's like this now, with no movement being made and no food being taken away. It's really weird.
The road outside the cabin was very wide, and there was basically nothing that could block the view. There was no reason why Chen Xiaowei wouldn't notice anything unusual during the short period of escape.
"Forget it, let's look for him, he should still be of some use." Qianye breathed out, and without thinking too much, prepared to let Xie Aishan track him down.
But only two seconds passed.
Xie Aishan's voice sounded next to his ears.
"Qianye, we found him. That person is within five meters of you."
"Not five meters away?"
Hear the words.
Qianye looked around suspiciously.
The next second, he suddenly thought of something and knew the approximate location of Lin Yuan.
No wonder Chen Xiaowei didn't hear anything, her feelings were just using the cabin to compensate for the poor vision...
And just when Qianye wanted to go out and catch Lin Yuan back.
