Chapter 971(1/2)
Unable to get useful information from Zhou Xiaomao, Zhou Fan thought about it and decided to withdraw from Huihe Space early. It was not appropriate to sleep at this time.
He said to Eifu, then was shrouded in gray fog and left the space of the Gray River.
The same is true for Eclipse.
When he woke up in the room, Zhou Fan pushed the door and asked his subordinates who were guarding outside the yard, and only then did he realize that he had been sleeping for an hour.
During this hour, there was no movement in Gaoxiang City.
Zhou Fan estimated the time, and it was still one and a half hours before the nightmare in the city last night.
He also used the message symbol to communicate with the four town envoys in the other three areas. Nothing happened in the northeast, northwest and southwest areas.
Zhou Fan could not leave this place at will, otherwise the matter would happen and his subordinates might not have time to notify him.
He asked the people below to report every once in a while, and he could only stay in the house while thinking about martial arts while waiting patiently.
However, as time gradually passes, it gradually approaches the time node of the city's nightmare, and there is still no movement.
Occasionally, a gust of cold wind blew, causing some green plants in the city to rustle. In addition, the city was so quiet that it was scary.
Also because it was approaching the time node of the nightmare, the warriors of Yiluan and the assisted county corps were all tense and paid attention to the movements around.
But until the nightmare in the city last night passed, nothing happened.
Zhou Fan's face was slightly calmed, telling the people below not to be careless and to be fully alert before dawn.
After all, it doesn't appear now, but it doesn't mean they won't come. They may come before dawn.
Zhou Fan jumped onto the roof of the tiles and looked at the lights lit nearby in the cold winter wind in the middle of the night.
Under the dark sky are the lights of thousands of homes.
Because they are afraid of nightmares throughout the city, some people choose not to sleep all night or take turns to sleep, so many houses in the city will seep out of the light of oil lamps tonight.
Zhou Fan raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't know whether this was effective for the people in the city. He was more considering whether they would come again?
Maybe they noticed the strict guards in the city and dared not show up again, or maybe they went to the eighteen villages outside the city.
Of course, it is also possible that they are just passing by and will not appear again in the future.
But no matter what kind of guessing is, it is just a guess, and it needs to be verified through time.
The cold wind whistles, and the evening wind brings a breath of uneasiness.
Suddenly, howling sounded everywhere in the city, and the quiet city suddenly became noisy.
There were panic, crying, and roaring sounds intertwined in the house.
Zhou Fan, who was standing on the roof, looked cold and they were here!
Zhou Fan jumped down from the roof, and the subordinates in the courtyard looked at Zhou Fan nervously.
"Is there any news coming?" Zhou Fan asked.
The subordinates all shook their heads.
All the warriors in the city took action, some running around the streets and alleys to check, some moving quickly on the roof, and also scanning downwards and upwards.
They stared at the swaying figures of the lights in the window lattices of the house, hoping to find out which monster figures were hunting humans.
During the preparations today, everyone in the city has been notified. If any trace of monsters is found, they can shout for help and they will come as soon as possible.
The warriors tried to find out the sound of crying out for help among the mixed and noisy sounds, and ordered all those who were awakened by nightmares not to make a random sound, so as not to hear the sound of crying out for help.
After the initial chaos in the city, it became much quieter.
Zhou Fan had already jumped onto the roof of the tile again and opened his eyes. Even if the hope was slim, he wanted to try to find out the monster?
But he could see the warriors running around the streets and alleys, but he could not see the strange signs.
Where will they hide?
"Is there no news yet?" Zhou Fan asked loudly again.
The subordinates in the courtyard were silent. They were all staring at the message talisman in their hands, but there was no movement from the message talisman.
This made Zhou Fan feel a little nervous, and he felt even more and more wrong.
Half an hour later, the nightmare in the city had long passed.
Zhou Fan stood in front of a house with a pale face. He walked in. It was a family of five, but five men, women, young and old were dead, their heads shrank, and there were three blood holes on the top of their heads.
And this is not just one family, six families have been found tonight in the Sanfang, Southeast tonight.
This is because Yiluansi asked each household to quickly check the safety of its neighbors after confirming that there should be no danger, so that it can be found out so quickly.
The worst case happened.
After the nightmare passed, there were cases of deaths in the four districts of Gaoxiang City.
Zhou Fan squatted and checked the body. This was already the third household he checked tonight. In fact, there was nothing good to look at. His killing method was exactly the same as last night.
Zhou Fan opened his nose, but he didn't smell any special smell.
"Sir, Lord Huang and the others asked you to go back home quickly." A talisman master walked in and said.
Zhou Fan nodded with a stern face and left here. He entered Yiluansi Mansion and appeared in the conference room.
The four four town envoys have reached three.
Zhou Fan handed the file in his hand to Huang Bujue, and then took the file handed over by three or four town envoys and started reading it.
Not long after, Wentu came back.
The discussion has officially begun, and the first thing is to confirm the current death toll.
At present, it is known that the death toll in the city is 182. The characteristics of death are similar, and they are all sucked in the brain.
Even if these 182 people did not die tonight, the number of deaths was almost the same, because it had been a while since the incident happened, and no one reported the death toll again.
The area with the largest number of deaths is the Sanfang in the southwest, followed by Sanfang in the southeast, Sanfang in the northeast, and Sanfang in the northwest, Sanfang in the northwest.
People in the four districts found no traces of strange things.
According to the file, the warriors who were close to the house of death did not find any abnormalities, and they did not hear any cry for help before death.
"They can either kill a room in an instant or make a room completely lose the ability to speak." Shen Jing said in a deep voice.
"Amitabha," Wenti sighed, "The question is how did they sneak into the house? We have been deploying defenses in the whole city, but no one can find their traces?"
It is said that they are because Yiluansi speculated that it is a high probability that it was done by a group of monsters. Otherwise, how could it be that it would appear in the four districts of the city to kill and suck brains in such a short period of time?
Of course they were just guesses, and they didn't even see the strange shadow.
Wen Ti said something that made Zhou Fan and the others silent, which was indeed something that puzzled them.
Those monsters came and went without a trace. There were not a single monster like this, but very few. Moreover, they also arranged some talisman arrays in advance for this situation, trying to make the monsters appear.
But the talisman array they arranged obviously did not work either.
The atmosphere in the conference room was dull and depressing. No one expected that such careful arrangement would not have any effect at all.
It can be said that in full view of the public, those monsters returned home with full food.
"Let them step up their search, I don't believe there is no trace left." Huang Bujue said with a calm face.
"They should have wisdom." Zhou Fan suddenly spoke.
The four four town envoys all looked at Zhou Fan.
Zhou Fan continued: "Only five people died in the past two nights are warriors. Of course, there are few warriors, which seems not surprising. However, the warriors who died are all powerful warriors, and the death toll in the northwest area where the aristocratic families are spreading the least number of deaths, so I suspect that they may have sensed that there are powerful warriors in the aristocratic families, so they dare not enter."
"They may be seeking profits and avoiding harm, and it is likely to be a wise man."
The faces of the four four towns changed slightly. If it was really Zhiwu, then the matter would be even more difficult. Zhiwu has wisdom comparable to humans, and they have such a secret hunting method, so it would be even more difficult to find them.
Eunuch Zhang frowned and said, "It may not be a wise man. It may be their instinct to seek profit and avoid harm, but in any case, they know how to avoid warriors. This is a fact. From the characteristic of seeking profit and avoiding harm, let the talisman masters in the Sifu look up carefully based on the previous characteristics."
Everyone discussed for a while how to find out the monsters, but they didn't have the confidence to find out the monsters.
Wenti smiled bitterly and said, "After dawn, the news will definitely spread. Everyone will know that Yiluansi did not catch and kill those monsters, and people in the city will definitely be in panic."
Of course, Zhou Fan and the others understood what Wen Ti said, that panic would spread further. If there were no accidents, more people would leave the city to take refuge tomorrow.
In the long run, the decline of Gaoxiang City will inevitably occur and more and more problems will occur.
Shen Jing said coldly: "I suspect it was the masked man organization. Didn't he say we wanted to relocate? Since we can't find those weirdos, do you think we can find him?"
If you could find the masked man, all the problems might be solved.
Zhou Fan shook his head and said, "It's very difficult. We don't know what he looks like when he is wearing a mask, and his height and voice can be disguised."
Huang Bujue said: "Try to try it. After all, we have no better way. We must continue to put pressure on the General Office and let them share the files organized by the masked man with us, hoping that there will be clues."
Now Yiluansi is like a headless fly ramming around. They have to try any solutions, hoping to find a solution.
Gao Xiang Yiluan Si Mansion has not encountered such a difficult problem for a long time.
...
...
The sky gradually became brighter.
To be continued...
