Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 26 Chasing the Murderer in the Rainy Night
If Martin was still trying to test the other party before, when the four words "Under the Tyrant Secret Realm" came out of the mouth of the leper boy, everyone's faces became serious.

Ma Yi'ao took a step forward, stared at the boy, and said word by word: "Can you hear our conversation?"

The boy raised his head fearlessly and said yes.

Ma Yi'ao glanced outside the door, as if he was measuring the distance, and after a while, he said: "Yes, you are actually able to hear our conversation from such a distance, what a talent—come on, go on, come on Try to convince me."

Martin was a little upset, saying that even if he heard a word or two along the wind, what could it mean?
The young man with leprosy was clearly prepared, and said, "Someone came to Tuziao two years ago and stayed there for half a month. Then Tuziao collapsed, and the surrounding area became puddles—that's because of the tunnel in the Baxia Secret Realm. There is an accident, it is blocked immediately, if you want to go, there is only one way; and that way, only I know, if you don't believe it, you can go to the field tomorrow to see it and you will know."

Hearing this, Martin didn't argue any more, but took out his compass and ran outside.

After a few minutes, he returned to the ruined temple, stared at the boy, and said, "Tell me, what do you want us to do for you?"

Seeing that Martin, who had the strongest objection, was relieved, the leper boy seemed to be relieved, and then said: "I can take you to the secret realm, but you need to help me avenge and kill those three guys who killed my parents. "

Ma Yi'ao narrowed his eyes and said, "If you didn't tell me before, but now, where can you find someone?"

The leprosy boy seemed to have known that he would say this a long time ago. Pointing to his nose, he said that I not only have a good ear, but also have a strong sense of smell. I can smell their scent. As long as you are willing to help me, I can take you to find them .

Ma Yi'ao was silent for a while, and then asked: "The group of people attacked fiercely, cold-blooded and ruthless, why did you survive?"

The leprosy boy turned gloomy and said, "My sense of hearing and smell are very developed. When something happened, I hid immediately. It's a pity..."

"That is to say, you haven't met those people?" Ma Yi'ao pondered for a while, and continued to ask: "If this is the case, it is difficult for me to judge whether we can stop them. If not, then I will Promise you, wouldn't you throw away the lives of yourself and your friends?"

The leprosy boy was a little excited and shouted: "Yes, you can, absolutely no problem."

Ma Yi'ao stared at him, and said... why don't you call the police?

The leprosy boy heard it for a while, and suddenly burst into laughter. He laughed so sadly that tears and snot flowed out of his nose. Then he turned around suddenly and walked outside.

Martin stopped him and said where to go?
The leprosy boy raised his head and said word by word: "My father is dead, my mother is dead, they are my only relatives in this world, without them, my life in this world is meaningless, if so, Why don't you go with them today..."

After all, he continued to walk forward, and Martin stretched out his hand to stop him, but he finally stopped when he saw the face of the leper boy distorted like a ghost.

At this moment, Ma Yi'ao finally said, "Yes."

When the leprosy boy heard it, he stopped, turned around, looked at him, and said excitedly, "What did you say?"

Ma Yi'ao stepped forward: "Yes, I promise you, but you have to remember what you said, if you just play tricks in front of me, I will personally send you down to accompany your parents, you know?"

The leper boy was not threatened by his words, but said excitedly: "Okay, let's go now."

Ma Yi'ao stretched his waist and said that we were all tired after a day's driving, so we can't do it tomorrow?

The leprosy boy shook his head and said urgently: "No - it will rain tonight, if the rain curtain is heavy, it will wash away the smell on the road, if that's the case, I'm afraid we won't be able to find those people again. "

Ma Yi'ao frowned, and confirmed with him again, saying, are you sure you can find those people with your sense of smell?

The leper boy nodded vigorously and said yes.

Ma Yi'ao said that you should go home first and clean up. We will discuss it here and give you an answer later, is that ok?
The leprosy boy took a look at Ma Yi'ao, then turned and left.

As soon as he left, Ma Yi'ao signaled Fei Hua to close the door, then took out a bronze lotus lamp, rubbed it against the edge of the lotus petals twice, a faint blue flame appeared, then he asked everyone to get closer to the light, and lowered his head He said to Martin in a loud voice: "This kid is very weird. Do you think he is a night crawler?"

The talent of the leper boy made Ma Yi'ao suspicious. He made this bronze lotus lamp, apparently to isolate the boy from eavesdropping.

Martin hesitated for a moment, and said he didn't smell any evil spirits.

Unlike Ma Yi'ao, Martin didn't care about the feelings of Feihua and me, and he just said "demon" when he opened his mouth. Fortunately, Feihua and I were not born as traditional nightcrawlers, so we don't have any verbal aversion to this title. I didn't feel too much humiliation either.

Ma Yi'ao asked with some uncertainty: "Then what he just said may be true?"

Martin nodded, saying [-]% of the time, since he is so sure, he must have grasped something. If so, the contents of the notes left by my father are useless, and we can only rely on him—however, he said two Someone came to Tuzi'ao years ago, and the tunnel collapsed, so who was it?

He was very puzzled, but Ma Yi'ao made a decision, saying yes, if this is the case, then let's go; Speaking of it, I don't have a good impression of those guys who take people's lives at will.

Ma Yi'ao is the leader of our small group, and since he made a decision, everyone started to gather together.

It took 10 minutes, we packed up our things, and then went out, Feihua went to the opposite side to call for someone, and the boy was already ready, he changed into thicker clothes, tied the leggings with cloth strips, and tied another A red belt with a hatchet stuck in it.

After the two sides met, he pointed to the south and said, "Go there, they won't be far away, let's hurry up, we should be able to catch up."

I glanced to the south, which was the direction of Bald Ziao.

A group of people set out in the dark, because it was too dark, we prepared torches, so as not to accidentally fall on a big horse, all four of us held them, only the leprosy boy did not, although he was ugly, he was physically fit It's average, but the five senses are well developed, and the night vision is also very good. A person leading the way in front is like a monkey jumping up and down, very flexible.

Even so, the mountain roads are difficult to walk, especially after the heavy rain, the mountain roads are full of mud, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the mud pit, and it is extremely difficult to lift one foot.

Although Feihua sympathized with the leprosy boy, but after returning from the dry campfire to the wet and muddy night, her mood suddenly became bad. After falling several times in a row, she finally couldn't help it. Nag up.

My situation is not much better than that of Feihua. Once I fell from a slope more than five meters high, and if there were no grass and trees nearby to support me, something really happened.

But even so, I still gritted my teeth and did not dare to complain.

As Ma Yi'ao said before, the only person who can help me is myself. If I complain all day and don't want to take any responsibility, I might as well go home and wait to die.

After walking so hard in the dark, after more than half an hour, Martin called out to the leper boy: "Hey, the bald man is over there."

The boy turned his head, his eyes were a little bright in the dark night.

He opened his mouth and said, "I don't call you Hey, call me Hu Che."

He finally said his name, but Martin didn't care. He continued to point to the left direction and said word by word: "Baldy is over there."

The young Hu Che stopped, stared at him, and said seriously: "I know, but the person we are chasing has gone this way."

The two stared at each other, and the atmosphere was at a stalemate. Ma Yi'ao, who was next to him, came over, patted Martin on the shoulder, and said okay, let's go with him.

Martin refused, saying that Bald Ao was right in front of him, and I should go somewhere to check and make sure of the situation.

After all, he still didn't want to believe this ugly leper boy.

Ma Yi'ao froze for a moment, and said this...

He was in a bit of a dilemma. Although he had made conclusions before, but now that Tuzi'ao is not far away, if he can go and investigate, he will be able to confirm many things.

Thinking of this, he looked at the young Hu Che, but Hu Che refused to give an inch, was very determined, just shook his head, saying no, they didn't go far, but if we stop and go to Tuziao, may not be able to meet again...

Ma Yi'ao didn't speak, he was thinking and weighing, and at this time, Martin said: "Well, I will go to Bald Ao alone. If it is true as he said, I will put a green signal and come to you; but if he I told a lie, I set off red fireworks, and you all rushed over - we have induction talismans, and we should be able to find each other at this distance."

This method is a compromise and more operable. Ma Yi'ao thought about it for a while and nodded in agreement.

So we parted ways at the intersection, and Martin continued south, while we headed west.

After parting from Martin, the leper boy Hu Che’s footsteps became even more hurried. In places with better road conditions, he even trotted all the way to the front to explore the road, and then turned around to urge us. From his tone, I could feel that Seeing his anxiety, we can also understand that we are getting closer and closer to the murderer who killed Hu Che's parents.

After walking like this for more than 20 minutes, we stopped in front of a pool in the deep mountains.

This water pool is located in the lower reaches of a mountain stream, and there is a stream under the pool. After the heavy rain, the stream of the stream is much wider and spreads out. It is very difficult for us to go up from the lower reaches. But after arriving here, the leprosy boy is very nervous, and he is sure that there is nothing wrong with him. Only then dared to approach here.

Soon, he stopped in front of a boulder half a person's height, and pulled out a bundle from the side.

Ma Yi'ao stepped forward, saw him picking up the bundle, and asked, "What are you in a hurry for?"

The boy pointed to the muddy pool water and said, "They went in."

what?
Ma Yi'ao was a little surprised, where did he go?
Along the way, the young man's energy was exhausted and he was trembling all over, but he said word by word: "Ba, Xia, Mi, Jing!"
