At this moment, the mayor's pupils shrank almost to the size of needle eyes, and he looked at Bacon with a horrified look as if he had seen a ghost.
"you......!"
He pointed his finger at the boy, his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't speak at all.
"You want to ask me how I know?"
A smile appeared on the corner of the young man's mouth: "If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. Do you think I really can't see it?"
His eyes swept over the people around him, then the empty streets and dilapidated houses, and he spoke loudly:
"I discovered right at the beginning that although those monsters were powerful, they did not use their full strength. They seemed to be attacking the entire town and causing you heavy casualties. But when you really looked at it, you were killed less and injured more.
I looked all the way over and saw that there were only three or four dead. The thunder was loud but the raindrops were light. Why?"
The mayor did not answer, but his lips trembled slightly, his face turned pale, and he did not dare to look at Bacon again.
"And these monsters are just a few miles outside the town, and they kill people every year. According to normal thinking, either you will destroy the monsters, or you will move the town, otherwise a few people will die every year. Although it is not many, but people are panicking,
The town has long since declined, how can there still be so many townspeople?"
Bacon sneered directly: "In this situation, either you are not afraid of death, or you and these monsters actually have some kind of secret agreement, or tacit understanding, right?"
The mayor was speechless and started shaking from his legs to his whole body.
"You just said that several people die every year, and I just killed a monster, and these townspeople will tie me up and feed me to the monster. I'm afraid it's not just fear of revenge. Let me guess, you will find me every year.
A few mercenaries came here, nominally to drive away monsters, but actually they are used to feed these monsters and protect themselves, am I right?"
This is not a random guess. In fact, it can be inferred from the completely different demands of the townspeople and Skynet's mission. Their mission is to kill vampires. Does that mean that if they don't kill vampires, then those vampires will kill them?
them?
Another one is that the townspeople are begging the mayor to hire mercenaries from outside. If it is to expel them, then these townspeople can also do it. Why do they have to hire mercenaries from outside? Isn't this unnecessary and a waste of money?
The only possibility is that the purpose of the townspeople asking the mayor is to quickly find a few scapegoats to prevent the monster from harming the people in the town. However, before Bacon and the others arrived, the monster had already attacked the town.
This is not accidental, and it cannot be stopped. Bacon doesn't know the twists and turns, but it doesn't matter. He is just repeating everything Lu En said.
"What, it could be like this?"
Several people nearby who were watching the show were immediately shocked when they heard this analysis. Looking at the mayor's pale face and no retort, it was obvious that he acquiesced in this guess.
"Originally, these monsters had an agreement or tacit understanding with you, and they should not kill people casually. But now this tacit understanding has been broken. These monsters have begun to kill the townspeople, and they are pure killings, but they do not use all their strength, only killing a few.
The individual retreated again, not even taking the body with him!"
"Can I think that this is actually a... warning to you!"
Snapped!
When Bacon finished speaking, the mayor in front of him suddenly jumped up like a rabbit and was about to run away. However, he was no match for Bacon. He was directly pressed on his shoulders by the big sword, as if he was carrying a mountain, and he was hit by the sword before his heels even left the ground.
I took the photo directly!
"Be careful, my sword is very sharp!"
The boy was dissatisfied and pressed the sword again, but moved the blade to the side. He was afraid that this guy would make any rash moves again, and if he really came to kill himself, he would be ready to cry without tears.
"You, who are you and why do you know this? It's impossible. No outsider can know this!"
The mayor shouted out loudly, staring at Bacon in disbelief.
"I've made it so clear, don't you still know that I guessed it?"
Bacon shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, now it's time to tell you and the Sheriff's secret. Don't ask me how I know it, I'll just guess it!"
"Impossible, no one can guess this!"
The mayor went crazy and screamed out of control.
"Cut the nonsense, I've said so much, it's your turn, or do you still need to wake up?"
Bacon spoke directly and fiercely, and then looked at the mayor's hands and feet: "Do you want to lose a hand, do you want to lose a leg, or cut off a more protruding place?"
"I......"
The mayor immediately felt a chill in his heart, realizing that the other party was completely unscrupulous and seemed to be planning to take action at the next moment!
Whether it's hands or feet, he doesn't want to lose it. Of course, if the sex of the lower body is not lost, otherwise for a man, it would be more terrifying than death!
But do you really want to tell the secret to the person in front of you? That is passed down from your family and is your biggest reliance on becoming the mayor!
The mayor was at war with nature in his heart, and he was extremely hesitant on the outside. Bacon snorted coldly, and raised the sword in his hand: "Then I'll cut off one of your hands first!"
Whoosh!
The sword that was half a man's height brought whistling wind sounds in the air. The mayor's scalp suddenly went numb and he screamed: "Say, say, I'll say!"
hiss!
The big sword stopped steadily outside his clothes and cut a small gash. This was not Bacon's fault, but Lu En's secret help. Otherwise, let alone the young man, he would have stopped even if he had been stronger.
The mission is over.
"explain!"
Bacon spoke coldly, while the mayor swallowed his saliva and was frightened: "Actually, the fallen earl in the manor outside the town is the ancestor of our family. He turned into a monster for some reason, and the reason why those monsters only come here every year is
Once, in addition to the agreement, it is also because we have something to restrain them!"
"But that is a treasure that belongs to our family. It will be useless for any outsider to hold it in the hands. Instead, it will attract those monsters. Only we can exert the true power of the treasure to resist those monsters and protect the townspeople!"
The mayor emphasized one sentence at the end.
"What treasure? Let me see it!"
Bacon came to interest.
The mayor gritted his teeth and said that he had no room for refusal. He pulled out a pendant from his neck. It was a thin thread wearing an unknown black statue. It looked like
It is somewhat similar to the previous monster.
"This is the treasure I carry. Its function is to weaken the strength and speed of those monsters within a certain range. However, it will also attract attacks from those monsters. Only I know how to use it. It is useless to you!"
"So magical?"
Bacon reached out and grabbed the statue and held it in his hand. Now it was just like an ordinary wood carving. There was nothing special about it. But the next moment, the statue was in his hand, and a red light suddenly appeared.
“It’s indeed a good thing!”
The eyes at the hilt of the scarlet sword rolled, and Lu En's voice emerged in his heart:
"This kind of thing is used to weaken monsters. It is overkill. The pearls are used as fish eyes!"
