Legend of the Pinnacle of Online Games

Chapter 70 Parasite

"Come out, let's talk!"

Watching Lin Hanchuan approach step by step.

The couple under the table trembled even more violently.

Lin Hanchuan looked down at them.

They looked up at Lin Hanchuan.

Time ticked by, and this couldn't go on. The couple were so focused on trembling that they didn't say a word.

The couple were too cowardly and fearful.

If you don't take a tough stance, it simply won't work!
Lin Hanchuan raised his hand and overturned the table, staring directly at them, and said loudly.

“I am a kind stranger sent by the city hall.”

"What has happened on Angel Street recently?"

"Look me in the eyes! Speak!!"

"If you don't talk, I'll make sure you don't see the sun rise tomorrow!"

With a serious expression and a loud, slightly threatening voice, the effect was immediate. The couple stopped trembling, and the man started to reply, though he was so frightened that his voice trembled a little.

"I...I don't know how to say it."

"I'll ask, you answer!" Lin Hanchuan pulled up a stool, plopped down, and glanced at the woman while looking at the man.

It's not that she's particularly beautiful.

However, the shaking was a bit too exaggerated at the very beginning.

He looks very scared.

But it calmed down very quickly.

"When did the deaths of residents on Angel Street begin?" Lin Hanchuan began to ask.

"Well... it seems like it was about half a year ago." The man's voice was still trembling when he replied, but he was in much better condition than before.

Lin Hanchuan nodded and continued, "Were their facial expressions the same when they died as they are now?"

The bodies of the residents who died on Angel Street were burned by the city guards during their investigation.

The corpses Lin Hanchuan saw on the street were all recent, the furthest being just over a month ago.

In other words, he could not determine from the expressions on the corpses at the time of death whether the residents of Angel Street who had started dying six months ago were killed by the cursed demons who were now taking action.

To determine if it's the same demon.

It is very important to Lin Hanchuan.

"Facial expression at the time of death?" The man was taken aback, not expecting Lin Hanchuan to ask such a question. Who in their right mind would observe the expression of a corpse?

When people started dying on Angel Street, he went to join the crowd and take a look, but half a year has passed, and he can no longer remember what the expressions of the dead looked like.

"I..." the man was about to say.

The woman spoke first, "They're all the same! They look horribly grotesque, like they were drowned alive."

Lin Hanchuan glanced at the woman.

She didn't seem scared at all anymore.

The man also looked at his wife.

His eyes widened in surprise.

Why is my wife, who is usually very timid, so brave today?
Corpse?

It seems like she hasn't left the house since the day someone died on Angel Street.
Could it be that she saw it while peering out the window one day?

More and more people are dying during this period. It's not just his family; all the residents of Angel Street are hiding in their homes and are afraid to go out.

But whenever an outsider enters Angel Street, everyone will instinctively crouch down in various places in the room where they can see outside, spying on everything that happens outside.

Occasionally, you can see the face of the corpse.

"Have any strangers been frequently seen on Angel Street in the past six months?" Lin Hanchuan continued to ask, but his gaze shifted from the man's face to the woman's.

The matter of the demons entering Wangyue City.

Not many people know about it yet. Even people like Charles who work at the city hall don't know, let alone the residents.

The city guard's investigation concluded that the person died from a curse, but they did not say who cast the curse.

Therefore, in the minds of the residents of Angel Street, demons are still unattainable beings, not something they can easily touch.

Lin Hanchuan did not directly mention the demon.

What if this woman is a demon?

If that's true, and the Demon's Eye of Insight can't detect it, she's at least level 20!
To call someone a demon outright is like stirring up trouble.

Under Lin Hanchuan's gaze.

The woman replied, "At midnight, you may occasionally see a person wearing a hood and completely wrapped in a robe walking on Angel Street."

"The first time I saw it was half a year ago, and the most recent time was two days ago at midnight."

The man's gaze remained fixed on the woman, but his eyes now held a hint of confusion.

A person wearing a hood?

How come he didn't see it?

Did his wife lie alone by the window looking out after he fell asleep?
Lin Hanchuan looked at her, then suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Do you think he's even human?"

Lin Hanchuan noticed that the woman's expression no longer showed any fear.

Sometimes, they even look at themselves with curious eyes.

This adaptability is truly remarkable.

If it were a beginner village full of quests, Lin Hanchuan would have already taken action before any quests were even triggered.

"No..." The woman started to say, but immediately shook her head and denied it, "Uh! I don't know!"

"You suspect that the people of Angel Street weren't killed by humans?" The man immediately seized on the information in Lin Hanchuan's question and pressed for an answer with great concern.

He and the residents of Angel Street had always believed that those people had died at the hands of an evil curse master, but at least the other party was a human being.

If it's not human, then what is it?
"Hmm!" Lin Hanchuan nodded and said seriously, "I suspect this wasn't done by a human. As for which race did it, you can ask your wife."

"She should know something."

"I guess it might be a demon or something!"

As soon as Lin Hanchuan finished speaking, she didn't answer this time, but her reaction was quite intense, and her shoulders trembled uncontrollably.

The skin and flesh on his face did not change.

The eyes are normal.

But her soul...

Lin Hanchuan, who had been using his soul perception, suddenly widened his eyes and stared at her.

Soul perception allows one to see through the physical body and directly perceive the soul.

Just now.

Her soul trembled in response to her body's reaction; she hadn't had such a strong reaction when she first entered the room.

Its soul's outline was still humanoid, but in the location of its brain, there was a dark shadow the size of a thumb, with a point of purple light in the shadow, like an eye, which suddenly observed Lin Hanchuan.

This discovery made Lin Hanchuan smile and turn around to pat Xingchen's head.

The lucky event has been triggered!
It can live in the soul, possess self-awareness, and observe the outside world.

There is indeed a demon in the abyss capable of doing that.

"How long have you been dead?" Lin Hanchuan then looked at the woman and asked bluntly.

This woman is indeed human.

But she is already dead.

The reason why the soul has not yet dissipated and the body has not yet decayed is because...

All because there is a parasitic demon in her soul.
