After thinking silently for a long time in the cold wind, Gu Juan looked up at the sky that had gradually darkened, and said to Zhu Zhan, who had been waiting there for vigilance, "Counselor Zhu, how far is the nearest town from here?"

Zhu Zan immediately replied, "If you go back to the hundred households, about seventy or eighty miles to the west, there will be a town, in which there are almost five or six hundred households, and there are all kinds of wine shops and teahouses. ”

"Well, let's go there and rest first, eat and drink a little, and then take a nap, and then come back tomorrow morning to find the bad luck of this Dryad Grandma. ”

Gu Juan touched his belly, which had already been deflated, and turned around and walked in the direction of Zhu Zhan's finger.

"Counselor Zhu, do you have any money with you?"

"Brought it. ”

"That's good, I eat a lot and drink a lot, but I don't have any money on me, so I'll let you invite this meal, no problem. ”

"It is my honor to be able to share the worries and solve problems of hundreds of households. ”

The two of them were running with great strength, and their feet were extremely fast, and it only took less than half an hour to rush to the town that Zhu Zan said.

But looking at the pitch-black scattered buildings not far away, Gu Juan and Zhu Zhan glanced at each other, and said almost at the same time, "There is a problem in this place." ”

Now it was just getting dark, but there was not even a single light in the town, and it was lifeless, not to mention the human voice, not even the roosters and dogs barking, which was really unreasonable.

"It seems that the desire to find a liquor store to eat meat and drink wine here will not be realized......"

Gu Juan sighed helplessly, raised his feet and walked towards the town, "Let's go, Counselor Zhu, now I can only hope that there is no strange incident here, but judging from my rich experience in handling and investigating strange incidents, there is little hope." ”

Zhu Zan followed closely, not leaving an inch, "Lord Baihu, do you say that it is possible to have something to do with those human-faced snake vines? When I was on that dirt slope before, there were quite a few snake vines with human faces. ”

Gu Ju's footsteps paused slightly, "It's possible, but even if there is a strange incident here, the people in the town have been killed and exterminated by the aliens, and I don't want it to be related to the human-faced snake vine." ”

Zhu Zhan was puzzled, "My subordinates don't understand, if there is a new incident here, wouldn't it be even more difficult to deal with it?"

"No, I'd like to see a new anomalous incident in the town that has nothing to do with snake vines, and if you think about it, what does that mean if it's really snake vines wreaking havoc here?"

Zhu Zan frowned and thought for a moment, and said cautiously with some uncertainty, "It shows that this strange snake vine not only eats a lot...... And meat and vegetarian food are not taboo, in addition to people, even chickens, ducks, cats and dogs are eaten?"

"Counselor Zhu, although we are indeed very hungry, what I am really worried about really has nothing to do with eating. ”

Gu Juan stopped at the entrance of the town, a faint red flame ignited in the depths of his eyes, and after taking a closer look, he said, "If it really came to this town, it also shows that this thing has an extremely wide range of activities, and the general law of people moving living trees and moving dead has already failed in it...... What's even more worrying is that it didn't kill people to eat meat, but for other reasons......"

"I hope it's not like I thought, every time it collects a head, it can absorb all the experience and wisdom of this person, and it can also increase its own strength...... If it continues like this, when it accumulates to a certain level, say thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, what kind of terrifying height will this thing grow, and who will be able to cure it?"

Zhu Zhan silently heard the end, only to feel that his hands and feet were cold, and his whole body was cold, as if a pair of thick hands were choking his throat, and it was difficult to continue breathing.

He took a deep breath and said with difficulty, "If it is really as Lord Baihu said, then what should we do?"

"Don't do anything, find it out, and just kill it before then. ”

Zhu Zan continued, "However, according to the number of those human-faced snake vines, they also have the ability to escape, and it will probably be very difficult for us to accurately find out their true body. ”

Gu Juan smiled slightly, and walked towards the interior of the town first, "What you said is good, but it's useless to think too much now, it's useless to sit and dream, practice can produce true knowledge, and the paper is shallow, and we must do it without knowing that this matter has to be done, we just go to the field to find out what is happening in the town first, and then we can make a more correct analysis and inference." ”

The town was extremely quiet, and the two of them searched from courtyard to courtyard, and found not a single living thing, not only no people, no livestock, not even a single mouse, but one lifeless house after another, standing in silence in the cold winter night

After climbing over the wall and entering an obviously wealthy mansion, Gu Juan went all the way from the atrium to the backyard, and then suddenly stopped and sat down on a stone bench.

He lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Counselor Zhu, it is now basically certain that an anomalous incident is happening here, and it is not the same anomalous incident as the human-faced snake vine. ”

Zhu Zhan stood straight, standing on the side with a knife, and nodded thoughtfully when he heard this, "What Lord Baihu said is that since he entered this town, his subordinates have not seen any flowers and trees from beginning to end, not even a single weed that withers yellow in winter, which is really surprising to the extreme. ”

Gu Juan slowly got up from the stone bench and said as he walked, "So, now the situation we are facing has become relatively clear and clear, dozens of miles east of the town, human-faced snakes and vines are rampant, and in this town, there is a new anecdotal incident. ”

Zhu Zhan hurriedly followed, swung his knife to split the door of the two-story wooden building in the backyard, and came to the main hall on the first floor with Gu Juan.

He lit a fire, found a bronze candlestick, lit all the six candles on it, and began to observe the situation in the main hall with Gu Ju.

"Lord Baihu, it's just that we don't know what is the cause of all the changes in the town, have we been targeted by this strange creature we have never met, and what is the relationship between the alien who is here and those human-faced snakes and vines.........

A cold wind blew in through the half-open door, and Gu Ju's face flickered in the flickering candlelight, "If it is still in this town, it should not be a harmonious relationship with that human-faced snake vine, if not, why can't there be even a single grass mustard here?"

"It's a two-story building again, and I can't help but recall my rather bad memories," Gu Juan slowly turned around in the first floor, and then looked up at the stairs leading to the second floor, "Counselor Zhu, it doesn't seem that there are any valuable clues on the first floor, now take the candlestick and go around the second floor with me to see if I can find any ......"

Before he finished speaking, Gu Juan suddenly frowned, and walked across most of the room with a stride, came to the desk located by the wall, and reached out to pick up an old book with a reddish color from the table.

The cover of the book has no pattern or any writing, but judging by its hairy curls, it must have been read by hand before.

He is very interested in the books of this world, especially in a situation like the one that seems to be inside the Strange News Incident, an old book with a red color but no handwriting is worth reading.

Gu Juan patted the dust on his hands, opened the first page with a solemn expression, and looked down.
