Chapter 187 Weird, two red teeth
The entrance of Black Light Vine Manor.
A black carriage that was about to set off was stopped by Ka Xiu. He stepped up and signaled to the members of the Spades "A" organization who were acting as coachmen that they could set off. In the cool-toned carriage, Hongya, who had been concentrating with her eyes closed, opened her eyes.
"Wind Xiang? Why are you up here?"
"I will go with you."
Ka Xiu found a comfortable position and sat down.
"Fine."
Hongya frowned, but didn't object.
First, Kashu also went to Mensa Village, and Shiratiao must have known about it and approved of it. Second, although the two had some minor disputes, Hongya had to admit that Card Xiu was very capable in combat. And he is definitely not the so-called pig teammate.
With him joining, it might be smoother this time.
Soon, the carriage began to move forward. It was flat at the beginning and you could leisurely look at the scenery on both sides.
Later, the road became bumpy. After all, this place was far away from the urban area of Heisha City. They were heading further to the suburbs. After the artificially paved road ends, it will be the kind of dirt road that is full of potholes and muddy after rain.
Fortunately, I had the foresight to use a horse-drawn carriage. If the car couldn't drive here at all, it would probably break down halfway.
Ka Xiu had been sitting by the window looking out. The scenery on both sides had changed from green trees to hilly terrain. There is a large area of green grass that is eye-catching, mixed with flowers of various colors. There are red, white, yellow and pink ones.
Bees dance and butterflies fly.
The wind blowing in the face carries the fragrance of summer flowers.
About half an hour later, the carriage stopped beside a slope. Card Xiu and Hongya walked down from above. They were surrounded by a sea of flowers and their ears were filled with the buzzing sound of bees.
Looking to the right, you can see a winding silver ribbon nearly a hundred meters away, which is a tributary of the Mim River.
The village of Mensa is on the edge of this tributary.
Obviously, the village was built on water.
Kaxiu's current location has not yet reached Mensa Village. The reason why he got off the car was because the road ahead had long since disappeared. Decades are enough time for all kinds of weeds to bury the original road surface.
So the next few kilometers can only be walked on foot.
After determining the general direction, Kaxiu and Hongya set off.
When they approach Mensa Village, people from the assassination department will naturally gather around them. Two people are obviously not enough to investigate a village.
About ten o'clock in the morning.
Card Xiu and Hong Ya walked through the grass all the way to the top of a gentle slope. Standing here, they could see the outline of the village in the distance.
"Uh-huh!"
Card Xiu suddenly stretched out two fingers and pinched a bug flying next to him. Then, he opened it in the palm of his hand.
Hongya looked over curiously.
This is a black and white butterfly, about half the size of a palm. The symmetrical antennae are very long and curled together like antennas. The pattern on the wings resembles a grimace.
"What's wrong?" Hong Ya looked up at Ka Xiu again.
He saw Ka Xiu lowering his head and studying very carefully.
"Take a closer look." Ka Xiu didn't even raise his head.
Hongya lowered his head again and suddenly made a confused sound.
This black and white butterfly has two heads, and there is also a head where the butt should be. The black tentacles are as long as a person's middle finger, and they twitch like a snail.
"These...are they really not two butterflies?" Hongya asked.
Ka Xiu immediately raised his hand and tore off all the butterfly wings, leaving only a long worm-like body.
There is only one, but the head and tail are both.
"It seems that this place is indeed a little weird..."
Hongya frowned and glanced up at the sky. The weather that was originally just cloudy now suddenly darkened, and the dark clouds were low and heavy, a bit like it was going to rain later.
"Let's take a look at Mensa Village first." Kaxiu threw the butterfly to the ground, and the two of them walked towards it again. As we were approaching, several people gathered around us.
"Lord Red Fang, Lord Wind Elephant."
These are all brothers from the assassination department. They are all dressed in black and have a sharp temperament. The joints of their right hands are full of calluses.
Apparently some veterans with guns.
"Yes." Hongya responded, and then said: "Have you found anything new so far? Are there any brothers inside?" As he spoke, he glanced at the abandoned village.
"No new discoveries have been made yet." A gunman replied.
"There are two brothers inside, guarding the two buildings where the five brothers from the intelligence department disappeared." Another gunman said.
"Yeah." Hongya nodded.
"Let's go in and take a look." Ka Xiu said from the side.
Immediately, the tall and thin gunman who spoke first led the way, and Cassius Hongya followed behind.
Mensa Village is located at the foot of a mountain, with houses, some single-storey and some double-storey. The whole structure is white and black. The white is the wall, and the black is the traces of decay caused by the wind and rain after the wall plaster peeled off. You can see that these small square buildings are covered with various vines and plants.
The tender green leaves sway in the wind, like door curtains.
Not only the walls, but also the roads originally built inside the village were overgrown with weeds, and plump grass seeds scattered to the ground in the wind.
Mensa Village is very quiet, not even the chirping of birds, only the subtle footsteps of Ka Xiu and his party walking. There are occasional dilapidated scenes as far as the eye can see. The walls of some buildings have collapsed, and some have broken walls, revealing messy yards.
Between the gaps between the vines, dark windows flashed across everyone's sight from time to time, making a whining sound in the wind. There is an inexplicable feeling of creepiness, but it is normal, after all, this is a deserted village.
Passing a corner ahead.
Hongya glanced at it and suddenly said: "Is there a fire here?"
The entire street ahead was stained by smoke and fire, and blackness crawled over the walls and ground like mold.
The two big trees on both sides of the road showed signs of dryness. It was obviously the time when the leaves were in full bloom in summer, but they were completely bare. The bark of the tree is unusually wrinkled, giving a sense of the stillness of impending death.
"Huh? You were fine this morning..."
The leading gunman also looked puzzled.
Ka Xiu frowned. He felt a chill in his pores as he stood on this street, which made people very uncomfortable.
"Huh? There are traces of battle here."
Hongya suddenly pointed to the wall on the right and said.
Ka Xiu immediately walked over and squatted next to him.
This wall is uneven and full of holes. But now there are many black parts on the surface, so the white color of the crater is more conspicuous, and you can spot it if you look closely. There were four or five bullet holes in the entire wall, some of which penetrated the wall, and some of which were craters.
"It looks like it was left there not long ago..." Hongya touched the jagged edge of the pit and looked up: "Did you guys hear the gunfire?"
"No." Three or four gunmen said in unison.
"The area around Mensa Village is relatively empty and quiet. If someone really fires a gun, it can be heard clearly within a radius of several kilometers. If someone fires a gun, it's impossible for us not to know about it."
The tall, thin gunman explained.
"That's weird..." Hongya glanced at Card Xiu.
Ka Xiu also looked a little confused.
"Two adults, there are still discoveries here."
A gunman in front of the road turned to greet him.
When everyone walked over, they saw at first sight the strange ghost symbols on the wall, which looked like a very ugly graffiti.
"This should have been dug out with fingernails, and it extends all the way to the ground..." Hongya picked at the white wall plaster under her fingernails.
Ka Xiu's eyes shifted.
There were several long nail marks on the ground.
It extended diagonally all the way and ended abruptly when it cut off about two-thirds of the road. It looks like a person with a strong desire to survive is grabbing the ground with his hands, but is being dragged away by a monster.
However, there was no trace of blood on the ground.
And imaginary monster paw prints?
"..." Hongya narrowed his eyes and glanced around, especially looking at some dark windows. But nothing happened, except that the sky was darker than before.
"Perhaps the group of people from Shachen are playing tricks to buy time for the transfer of the antique warehouse." Hong Ya guessed.
"Don't worry about it for now. Let's go to the small building where the intelligence department personnel disappeared to check the situation." After Hongya ordered, the tall and thin gunman continued to lead everyone towards the back of the village quickly.
About three minutes later, several people stopped.
In front of me is a relatively complete two-story building, covered with densely packed ivy. There is a white fence outside. The wooden fence has rotted and cannot act as a barrier.
Everyone walked in directly.
The leading gunman was the first to enter the lobby on the first floor and shouted: "Jamie, two adults, Red Fang and Feng Xiang, are here."
However, no one responded.
"Jamie! Jamie!"
Only the gunman's voice echoed throughout the small building.
"Jamie, he..."
"Let's go up and take a look." Hongya and the lanky man looked at each other. He immediately took the lead and walked up the old stairs.
The paint on the wooden handrails had peeled off, and there was a thick layer of dust on the surface. Some places have rotted, broken and fallen.
On the second floor, the air was filled with dust. The house is relatively dark inside, and it seems that the original owners have not moved all the furniture. It was now covered with cobwebs and had a pale color.
"Where are the people?"
Four or five gunmen searched all the rooms, but still could not find any trace of Jamie, and even rummaging through boxes and cabinets was useless. Ka Xiu walked to the balcony step by step and looked around from a distance.
After a while.
Dead buildings stood one after another, without any trace of people. Even the chirping of birds has disappeared here.
There were one or two gunmen in the yard below, and there were also gunmen in black walking through the streets around the house. They were exploring the area around the house. Jamie might be around.
Card Xiu stood on the threshold from the living room to the balcony on the second floor. He picked up his pocket watch and took a look at the time. It was less than half past ten.
Crunch
Suddenly there was the sound of the door opening from behind.
"Hongya, tell them to stop looking. Go directly to another building. I have a bad feeling." Card Xiu put down his pocket watch.
"Okay." Hongya's deep voice came from behind.
Then there was a series of thumping sounds coming downstairs.
Card Xiu stuffed his pocket watch into his pocket and was about to turn around. He suddenly saw something out of the corner of his eye and was startled.
Card Xiu suddenly looked intently and saw two people talking on the street to the east of the house. One of them is the tall and thin man who led the way before, and the other one is... Hongya! That was just...
He turned his head sharply and stared straight at the black corridor.
"Hongya" just agreed and then went all the way.
Bang!
Kaxiu instantly turned into a black shadow and swooped down at a very fast speed. He turned and stepped forward and came to the first floor.
At the door, a gunman stepped out.
"Wait!" Kaxiu called him back, his tone was very solemn: "Did you see Hongya coming down from above just now?"
"Lord Hongya? Isn't Lord Hongya outside?"
The short-haired man pointed to the door with a blank look.
"..." Kaxiu frowned even deeper.
"Follow me to quickly check the rooms on the first floor again!"
A few seconds later, he walked out of an empty room with an iron face. Nothing, just like when he first came in.
Who was the person who talked to him on the second floor just now? !
Kaxiu's perception is not ordinary sharp, it has been mutated through the fusion of magic shadows, plus the newly introduced heart eye secret technique.
A familiar person did not speak, just walked behind him. Kaxiu could also guess the identity of that person.
And that breath is exactly the same as Hongya.
"Phantom?!"
Kaxiu can only think of this one guess now.
It is absolutely impossible that it was an illusion just now!
But, the problem comes again. People of the same kind are very sensitive to each other. If it was a Phantom, Kaxiu would have noticed it long ago.
"Sir?" The gunman next to him saw Kaxiu standing there in a daze, thinking and not speaking, and couldn't help asking.
Whoosh!
A black shadow quickly swept out of the door and disappeared.
Kaxiu quickly passed the wooden fence and came to the street east of the house. Hongya seemed to be telling the tall and thin man something.
"Hongya."
Kaxiu suddenly shouted from a distance of five meters.
"Wind sign? What's wrong?"
Hongya turned his head and a sharp wind blew on his face. The strong airflow pushed Hongya's hair to both sides with the forehead as the center, and a black fist in the airflow quickly enlarged in sight.
"You!"
Hongya screamed in fear.
Huh!
The fist stopped in mid-air at the critical moment, and the fist with blue veins was less than half a centimeter away from Hongya's nose.
"Gurgle."
Hongya stayed where he was and swallowed his saliva. He felt fear again, the fear of being hit in the head with a punch.
If this punch is not effective, he will die!
"What are you doing?"
Hongya took several steps back. He was originally furious and wanted to question Kaxiu, but inexplicably he lost the confidence to get angry.
He was afraid of angering Kaxiu and being beaten to death by a punch.
"It seems that you are really..." Kaxiu slowly retracted his fist. He opened his mouth and was about to explain to Hongya, but his fist that suddenly loosened tightened again. The palm with blue veins creaked.
It was still this street. Five meters away from Hongya, a very familiar short-haired man was looking around the street and walking towards him.
He was clearly in the small building just now!
I even chatted with him for half a minute! ! !
