Xia Changdian didn't dare to turn his head back, he always felt a cold gaze sticking to his back, like a poisonous snake, or like a cunning and patient wolf, waiting for the moment when he turned his head, then his sharp eyes appeared. Sharp teeth, biting on his neck.

His palms were full of sweat. Although he couldn't stop telling himself, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid", his body was still trembling involuntarily, and passed this fear to Qian Er through the two hands. White.

Qian Erbai had no choice but to quicken his pace, and took Xia Changdian far away. It was not until he walked a long way, passed the hotel, and was about to reach the square with the statue of the giant python, that Xia Changdian regained his composure.

He took a breath, and said, "This man's sense of oppression is so strong, is he a player? Or the avatar of the Great Demon King?"

Qian Erbai let him go, looking at the whole body of the snake-eyed man shared by 741 Like, focusing on the silver-gray tail, he said: "It should not be a player, but I think this snake should be the key to passing the game."

The snake scales in the envelope are dried, It has hardened and shrunk, and it must be different from the fresh scales that are still growing on the body. There are very few gray scales, especially the scales with a hint of transparent color in the gray are even rarer. The basilisk encountered by accident today happened to have gray scales, although the color is slightly darker than the sample in the envelope. , but it is already the closest to the prompt among the basilisks I have seen.

Xia Changdian whimsically said, "It would be great if we could pull out one or two scales to study and compare them." This idea is very simple, but there are many problems in its actual operation.

First of all, there are only two ways to get close to the other party and take away the snake scales without attracting the other party's attention: one is to wait for the basilisk to shed its skin, and then collect it when the snake scales fall off naturally; the second is to deliberately provoke each other, and then took the opportunity to pull out the scales while wrestling with the basilisk.

There are too many uncontrollable factors in the first method, not to mention whether the basilisk still retains the habit of snakes shedding their skins, even if they do, they may not have the luck and time to wait until the other party sheds their skins, let alone the first time I rushed to the scene to pick up the snake slough. As for the second type, fighting and killing are not the two of them's strengths, and if it is not natural enough to do it, it will not achieve the expected effect.

Therefore, for the two of them, if they want to obtain the scales, there are only the last two ways to scare the snake.

The simple and rude one is to use force to control the basilisk, and then forcibly pull out the scales; the other is more circuitous and tactful, and needs to gain the trust of the other party first, and then pull out the scales when it is unprepared.

The two methods lead to the same goal, and they will both cause dissatisfaction and even hatred on the other side. As for which kind of hatred value is deeper, violent coercion or ruthless betrayal, it is not up to them to consider.

However, if they worked hard and finally got the scales, but after comparing them, they found that they did not match the ones in the envelope. Not only did they make useless efforts, but they also offended a monster in vain, then their situation would be even more dangerous. In addition, if the scales match the prompts, it only proves the important position of the opponent in this game, and it is not of great benefit to the progress of the game. They still don't know what the big devil wants to play in this game and how to play it .

Therefore, it is obviously a detour to obtain clues to clear the level by finding the basilisk that is most closely related to the reminder. It is better to change the way of solving the problem and focus on the world background of the game here. It may be easier to find clues .

About pulling out the snake's scales, Xia Changdian originally just said it casually, but after hearing his brother Qian Erbai's thoughtful, thoughtful, detailed and appropriate explanation, he lost his mind at all. He quietly made a face at 741, and complained: "An old cadre is an old cadre, and he is always so convincing and convincing."

741 snorted quickly, expressing his approval, and never took his eyes off the small screen.

The pair of wild mandarin ducks it was staring at were about to start a fight. According to Lu Liuliu, the senior, the more vigilant humans are at such a time of extreme excitement, the easier it is to reveal important information. Concentrate on it and never let go of any suspicious details.

Now that they have reached the side of the square, Qian Erbai and Xia Changdian simply decided to start their search from the basilisk statue in the center of the square.

The night got darker, and the moonlight gradually brightened, sprinkled on this square, and dressed up this filthy place to appear somewhat solemn and solemn. It was eight o'clock in the evening in Jiacha Town, but if calculated according to the normal time flow in the real world, it should be three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

One end of the square is connected to the main city of Jiacha Town, which is the direction they came from, and the other end leads to a forest.

During the day, the forest as a whole looks like a layer of blue that transitions from light to dark, and the farthest point meets the sky, as if wearing a blue helmet on the square. At night, the forest became colorful, like a bar suddenly opened its own neon sign, colorful lights flickered, luring curious foreign monsters to go and find out.

As a member of the Outlanders, Xia Changdian is naturally full of interest in such a magical forest that only exists in children's fantasy, but this is obviously not the time to satisfy the girl's heart. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. It is not certain that the three alien monsters who died tragically in front of the statue were led into the forest in this way and then killed them.

Looking at the forest with this in mind, Xia Changdian only felt that the magnificent and splendid scene was like the glowing fishing rod on the top of the monkfish's head, just waiting for them, the foreign monsters driven by curiosity, to swallow the bait, and the blue-faced fangs appeared ugly face.

He was frightened by his own imagination, he couldn't help shivering, and moved closer to Qian Erbai.

Qian Erbai is looking for clues left by the victim around the base of the stone statue of the giant python god.

This giant python statue is bathed in the water-like silver light, and its ferocious and ferocious face has become so gentle from a distance, as if it is a true god and living Buddha who saves the suffering, full of compassion. But when he walked in and looked up from the bottom up, the goal was still the fierce beast, with sharp teeth and cold eyes, choosing to devour people.

Xia Changdian avoided the eyes of the basilisk statue and squatted beside Qian Erbai. His tail was too big, and when he squatted down, he would hang down on the ground, so he hugged his tail in his arms and studied the bricks and stones on the ground seriously.

The ground is covered with rhombus-shaped slabs, and the joints between each slab are not completely tight, but there is a small gap, exposing the soil below. In some places the conditions were right, and a few weeds grew, and a few small wildflowers bloomed.

I don't know whether it was soaked in blood or the soil was born like this, but the soil between the cracks of the stone slabs showed a deep purple-black color, and seemed to exude a faint smell of blood.

The two of them checked here during the day, and checked again at night, but still found nothing, but in their impression, the head of the corpse they saw was exactly where the stone snake head cast its shadow. Location. I don't know if it was a coincidence or the murderer did it on purpose.

Qian Erbai is more inclined to the latter. This town enshrines an evil god, and has some evil customs and rules. It is not impossible to have some strange particularities when killing monsters and offering sacrifices to the giant python god.

He looked at the slow-moving snake head shadow on the ground, and his expression became serious. Some conjectures arose in his mind, but if he wanted to prove it, he had to see the corpse that the mayor ordered his subordinates to dispose of.

During the day, Lu Liuliu followed Old Goat Mayor's car for a while, and then the car drove out of its monitoring range. It could only find the trace of the other party by investigating the video content of the few electronic dogs at the intersection. .

But the security and safety measures in the town are not enough.

The number of monitors on the road is far from enough, and a few of them are still broken, and bird's nests are built on them, which are completely useless; supermarkets, bookstores, hotels and other privately operated shops and shopping malls on the roadside rarely have their own The person who installed the surveillance camera didn't have this concept, or the town is clean and upright, and the roads don't pick up things.

Finally, the monitor that recorded the image of the car was near the mayor's mansion. If the two walked there, they might not be able to return to the hotel at ten o'clock, so they left the square quickly and stopped at the nearest waiting station. Before the ten o'clock curfew, make another fun with the big-eared fox and his little ladybug car.

After getting into the car, the wide-eared fox heard that they were going to the mayor's mansion, and their expressions changed, but they soon returned to normal, but the eyes looking at the two of them in the mirror looked weird.

Xia Changdian stared back unceremoniously. Kuo Erhu's eyes were very presumptuous, which made him feel very uncomfortable, as if he was going to do something shameful - although picking up corpses in the middle of the night is not considered anything to see people's business.

The ladybug flew very fast and arrived at its destination in less than ten minutes.

Kuo Erhu stopped the car, turned around and cast a wink at Xia Changdian and the two, and said, "Whatever the price, let me enjoy it if I have the chance." Qian Erbai stopped him, asked Kuo Erhu in the usual tone, and said: "This gentleman knows what we are going to do?"

Kuo Erbai shook his big ears and said with a proud smile: "Isn't it just to be the mayor? Business? Don't many strangers from other places have to go through this hurdle if they want to live here for a long time? Didn't he just disappear!"

Xia Changdian's heart moved, and he asked fraudulently, "Missing? Isn't he dead?"

The wide-eared fox seemed to be taken aback. He looked around and saw that the doors and windows were tightly closed, and then continued: "But you have to declare it missing to the outside world. Three murders are serious enough, and there can be no more." Already." He looked at Xia Changdian and smiled, "Don't talk about those nonsense, do you want to leave a contact information, we..."

Qian Erbai took out the fare and handed it to Kuo Erhu, interrupted him, and covered it He looked at Xia Changdian, and said: "We will not delay your business when we arrive."

After speaking, he opened the car door and pulled Xia Changdian out of the car.

Looking at the driver, Lu Liuliu found him more and more annoying, so he locked the car door for him, then controlled the car radio, and played him the story of human beings exorcising ghosts in a loop. Urinating frequently, begging for mercy again and again before giving up.

The wide-eared fox is the driver of the ladybug car. There is a unique information channel between the drivers. It cannot be the most accurate, but it must be the most well-informed. They have been in contact with almost every aspect of this town and all walks of life, so the strange things he said about the old goat's unspoken rules are likely to be true.

So, boldly guess, would the three victims be killed by the old goat because they were unwilling to be manipulated by him?

Judging from Kuo Erhu's behavioral style of "death becomes disappearance", the above speculation is entirely possible.

Qian Erbai looked at the mayor's mansion not far away that occupied the entire office compound and converted it for private use, and felt that the world had become more complicated and confusing.

The author has something to say: The next chapter must speed up the pace.
