(Plus 2000 for average subscription!)
While watching the movements around, Hobert swung his knife to cut open two cocoons, and sure enough, two comatose members of the "Red Gloves" fell out of them.

Hobert put on his gloves and observed the two members. They were not seriously polluted, so Hobert carried them back to the hunting team one by one.

The gray moths had all flown away, and the team members seemed to wake up suddenly, unaware of the experience just now, and some people said that they seemed to have seen a grizzly bear again just now.

Hobert glanced at the front of the team. The leader, who gave off a fluffy look, was speechless for a while.

He pretended that nothing happened, and lied that he found two unconscious people in the snow just now, and everyone hurriedly carried them back to the villa.

"The hunting team is back!"

Amidst the shouts of several snow-playing guests, Hobert and his group came back.

Mr. Wood and Mrs. Wood rushed out and said to Chris: "Selena is gone! We searched the entire villa, but we couldn't find her."

Hobert listened to Mr. Wood's description, and quickly came to a conclusion: Selena disappeared not long before I came.

Leonard, who was in the hall at this time, saw a young man in the hunting team carrying an oil painting on his back. Without the old man reminding him, his intuition told him that the oil painting was the one that had disappeared before his eyes.

And the person carrying the oil painting must be the same person as before, but his appearance is different.

The other "red gloves" saw the two team members being carried in the team. After learning that it was the young man carrying the "easel" who rescued the two companions, Dai Li came forward to express his gratitude.

After the "Red Gloves" got together again, Dai Li whispered, "The young man who saved our team just now has a problem with his 'easel'."

Leonard hesitated for a second or two before saying: "That's the person who told me the three suspicious location information before. He, he has changed his appearance, but I can recognize the oil painting he is carrying."

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at Daly together.

Daly thought about it: "The situation here is obviously more complicated than Harold's report, since the other party has enough goodwill towards us, we can cooperate.

"Leonard, please invite him here. At this time, we should let go of our prejudices and make saving the tourists here our top priority."

……

When Hobert saw Leonard greet him and sit beside him, he knew that Daly had made the most rational choice.

"Sorry!" Leonard smiled and said, "We should always investigate the most obvious doubts."

Hobert asked, "What now?"

"Now we would like to ask you to discuss with us the solution to the problem."

"Sorry," Hobert smiled imitating Leonard's tone, "I have provided you with such important information, but the reward I got was that I was almost arrested."

Leonard was taken aback for a moment before he understood what Hobert meant, and he immediately went back to report to Daly.

Soon Leonard came back again: "The condition we can give is that you have the priority to choose the extraordinary income in this mission, even if you don't have extraordinary income, you will not be treated badly."

Only then did Hobert nodded: "It seems that some official Extraordinary people are also very reasonable."

He just sat in the "Red Gloves", listened to the investigation of the "Red Gloves", and then said: "Everyone, I have a question, why don't you evacuate these tourists quickly, and then try to solve the problem? "

"A group of colleagues before did this." Dai Li replied: "But after tourists leave the villa for a certain distance, they will come back here by themselves.

"The method of evacuating tourists is not effective at all, and it is easy to disturb the pollution sources here."

Harold was the first group of Nighthawk captains to arrive here, but their actions failed, and all the team members died here.

Only Harold was seriously injured and escaped, and took a train bound for the east at the last stop of Boklon Mountain Villa. He reminded the people on the train not to go to Boklon Mountain Villa for the time being, and went to York Mountain.

That's why the Church of the Evernight Goddess sent Daly and others who were reporting the Backlund smog incident at the headquarters to identify and eliminate the pollution here.

Hobert nodded: "My suggestion is to investigate from those three suspicious locations, but they all seem to be quite dangerous, so I suggest investigating one by one.

"How about me going to take a dip in the hot spring with this Mr. Leonard? You just wait outside the hot spring, no matter what happens inside, you can only come to support after blowing the whistle."

He found that the "Red Gloves" didn't know more information than himself, and their investigation progress was too slow, and Selena would be in danger if he waited any longer, so Hobert planned to take action himself.

In the end, Hobert said to Daly again: "I think it is very difficult to solve the problem here with our strength."

Daly nodded: "I have sent someone for help just now."

Hobert got up with a "hmm" and went to the public hot spring with Leonard.

At this time, outside the reception hall, two team members who were sent out to ask for help, brought the two team members who had just been rescued and had been in a coma, and were going to take a carriage to the nearest church to ask for help from the headquarters.

When the two unconscious team members were carried to the car, a small cut was made on their foreheads.

It's just that the two team members who were in charge of asking for help didn't discover this in time.

……

In the public hot spring, Hobert asked about the whole process of the monster's appearance just now.

Leonard also explained it in detail, and finally he said: "...As long as you come out of the hot spring, the feeling of numbness will soon disappear, but the tourists in the hot spring did not realize that they were like As motionless as a stone statue."

At this time, "Red Gloves" has blocked the place, and there is no tourist in the hot spring.

Hobert sat down in the pool with a handful of "cutlery" in his hand: "You come down too. Since we want to draw the other party out, we must do something to weaken ourselves."

Leonard hesitated for a moment, and then sat down in the pool.

Hobert chatted: "You should also see it? The people in the villa are more or less polluted and become a little abnormal.

"But the problem is, if they were seriously polluted, they would have turned into monsters long ago, but they didn't! Do you think it's strange?"

Leonard didn't have the confidence he had in the last conversation: "What do you think about this?"

"I heard from Harold that there is a village beyond that mountain." Hobert said, "Do you think all the severely polluted people are in that village?"

"Probably."

"In addition, I also found," Hobert said, "the hunting team is generally more polluted than the tourists in the villa!"

Leonard is not stupid, he immediately guessed: "The hunting team is closer to the source of pollution?"

He added: "Then we should investigate the hunting team..."

Just halfway through, he denied himself: "It is dangerous to act rashly before getting enough information!"

Hobert nodded: "That's right."

While the two were chatting, half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the monster came out from the depths of the hot spring again.

If there were ordinary people here, they would stand there motionless again, as if they had passed out.

As for Extraordinary people like Hobert and Leonard, they were only paralyzed and had difficulty moving.

Hobert frowned and asked the monster in the hot spring: "I'm curious, why are you wrapped in kelp? Is it because you can't afford clothes?"

"Idiot! This is not kelp!" the monster said.

"Well, if you say it's not, then it's not." Hobert followed suit, "It's something that happened here that made you become like this, right?"

"Yes, everything started with that evil mist!" said the monster.

Hobert asked, "Evil mist?"

"You have so many questions!" The monster was already very close to Hobart: "But your physique looks very strong!
"The fog made me have to keep looking for a new body. You are a good choice."

At this time, a milky white light fell, "Healing!"

Hobert immediately regained his combat effectiveness. He jumped ashore and drew the knife from his walking stick not far away.

The monster turned around and was about to run, but Hobart stepped forward quickly and lifted him to the shore with the back of his knife.

The kelp on the monster's body was like a snake, and it was about to get into the hot spring in a blink of an eye, but without the "kelp" package, there was only a severely decomposed corpse left on the shore.

Hobert was quick-sighted, and nailed the "head" of the "kelp" to the shore with one knife, and stretched out a foot to step on the tail of the "kelp".

After taking a closer look at Hobart, he can probably confirm that this should be a strip of human skin!

Hobert said to it, "Answer me a few questions!"

The front part of the human skin opened a small slit: "Let me go after answering the question!"

"Well, good!" Hobert happily agreed, "What is the evil mist you mentioned just now?"

"I don't know, anyway, that night, there was a strange mist blowing, and then many people became strange, and I became what I am now."

"What's in the fog?"

"I don't know. I only know that some people around me disappeared and then reappeared. They became completely different from before. They also said that they went to the village on the other side of the mountain!"

"What's in the village on the other side of the mountain?"

"do not know."

Hobert asked a few more questions, seeing that he could not obtain more information, he pulled out the knife stuck in the ground.

The human skin breathed a sigh of relief and was about to slip away when Hobert suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Human Pi: "Do you have any questions?"

"I want to solemnly apologize to you, I lied just now!" As he spoke, Hobert cut the opponent in half with a knife, and then cut him in half with a horizontal knife.

The human skin didn't even leave any last words, it twitched a few times on the ground, and soon became silent.

Hobert never intended to let go of the human skin from the very beginning, no matter what the reason was, it was no longer a human being, but a monster that kept devouring life!

At this time, Leonard in the public hot spring stretched out his hand weakly: "Give me a hand."

Hobert pulled him up and wrapped him in a towel.

Leonard asked: "From the beginning, you have a way to save yourself, right?"

"Of course!" Hobert smiled and said: "I only said half of what I said before: since we want to lure the other party out, we must take some actions to weaken ourselves; but we must be sure enough to escape the danger, otherwise we are courting death."

As he spoke, he put his "tableware" back into the cloth buttons left behind on his clothes.

Leonard sat on the shore, feeling cheated.

After meeting with other "Red Gloves" members and telling the information they just got, the group headed for the second target, the lake outside the villa.

Hobert and Leonard walked in the front, and the two whispered about the new information they had obtained.

Leonard suddenly said: "Could it be... Could it be that this pollution came from a saint or angel of the 'Seer' pathway?
"He may say that he didn't know what kind of pollution he was, so he hid outside the villa and used the 'spiritual thread' to transfer his own pollution to other people or other creatures!"

Hobert can be sure that this must be a reminder from the old man.

Then he thought of the messenger's reminder, thinking that this was entirely possible, because the operating range of the spiritual thread of the "ancient scholar" seemed to reach a few hundred meters, and the influence distance reached 5 kilometers!

There is enough space for him to hide in the dark and quietly pass on his pollution.

Hobert didn't think of this before, because he saw many tentacles wrapped in white mist with his "real vision", and he naturally thought that the source of pollution was a monster.

But now Hobert wondered, is that the spiritual thread under the "true vision"?
"Nation of Disorder" does not have the corresponding characteristics of the "Seer" path, so the spiritual thread is somewhat abstract from the perspective of "Nation of Disorder"?
Thinking of this, Hobert smiled helplessly: "We can only wait for your support to arrive before we can completely solve the problem. Before that, we will try our best to collect as much information as possible."

The key is: don't have a direct conflict with the pollution source!
When I came to the lake, it was unremarkable, just an ordinary half-natural, half-artificially transformed lake.

Because the water in the lake comes from hot springs and mountain springs, the fog on the lake is very thick. Even if it is noon, the sight can only see the center of the lake.

The roads along the lake are paved with stone slabs, which are very suitable for walking here.

The only thing that is a bit abrupt is that there is a warning sign on the shore, which reads: Do not throw stones into the water!very dangerous!

Daly said: "When we came just now, there was no such brand."

"That's easy!" Hobert said, picked up a pebble and threw it into the lake, but there was no reaction.

So he found a fist-sized stone and threw it into the lake, but there was still no response.

Hobert found another head-sized stone and threw it into the lake. Everyone watched the stone disappear into the mist.

puff~
After waiting for two or three seconds, there was still no response.

While Hobert was looking for a bigger stone, a child's voice suddenly came out of the mist: "Help! I, I can't swim!"

It sounds like it could be submerged at any time, and everyone can hear the sound of hula hula paddling, and can see a child in the mist.

But no one went to save people, because the voice appeared too abruptly.

Even ordinary members of the "Red Gloves" have experienced many extraordinary cases. Of course, they know that sometimes calling for help is not a real call for help.

Hobert pondered for a moment and asked, "How should we save you?"

"Of course it's swimming to save me!" It was the voice of a little boy.

"Can you fly there?"

"Fly, fly...? No, no, no!"

Before everyone could react, Hobert had already flew low and entered the mist, and he saw that there was indeed a little boy struggling in the water.

But there is still a huge figure under the little boy's feet!

Turning around the little boy, Hobert finally saw clearly that there was a strange fish underwater, and a little boy grew on the head of the strange fish!
