Back to the Future Sword of Sichen

The time went back to an hour ago, when Wei Mingye and the other two were still discussing the task content with the branch staff. At this time, another branch staff member came over and said, "Ms. Fennessy, we found traces of that mysterious creature again, but..." The young man did not continue.

"Just what?" The lady who was discussing with Wei Mingye turned her head and looked at the strong young man, "What happened?"

"Yes, something did happen." The young man said, "The current plan is going quite smoothly. We discovered a village that was attacked by a mysterious creature an hour ago. There were no survivors there. The investigation team has returned and is filling out the investigation. Report."

"Are you sure it was the mysterious creature codenamed "Water Snake" that did it?" Wei Mingye said.

The young man nodded vigorously, "Yes, it was the Water Snake that did it."

Wei Mingye looked down at the documents and said, "I think we need to go to that village to investigate again. Maybe we can find new clues."

John, who stood aside in silence, said, "I agree. I also have a question, whether the "Water Snake" has attacked places other than the village."

"Of course." Feniss rubbed her throbbing temples, her tone full of fatigue, "This is the fifth village that the "water snake" has attacked since it suddenly appeared three days ago. The point is, this mysterious creature is very... It is smart. It will choose coastal and remote human settlements to attack. We have dispatched a large number of people to evacuate, but it is not a good idea."

"I understand." Wei Mingye stood up, "We will find clues to the "water snake" as soon as possible."

Time returns to the present, Wei Mingye and four others are walking in the village. A wide street runs through the entire village, which is also the only main road in the village. All the buildings on both sides of the street were destroyed by a terrifying force. The solid gray-white stone walls were shattered into pieces and piled together. The window fragments scattered on the ground reflected the bright light. The cross on the roof of the chapel fell into the ruins, and the cross was covered in dust and dust. Covered in blood, it was obvious that the long prayers had not been blessed by God.

Wei Mingye glanced at a small pool of black blood on the edge of the street, then turned to look inside the ruins. His consciousness spread out, and he could clearly see every detail within the scope of his consciousness. Wei Mingye came to a pile of rubble and poked at it with his hidden sword. The rubble poured down like a mudslide, burying the toe of his shoe. Wei Mingye continued to fiddle with it, and soon, a piece of rotten flesh appeared in front of him.

This piece of rotten flesh was green and blue, like a piece of moss stone, and emitted a smell that was mixed with rotten eggs and foot odor. Wei Mingye endured his nausea and used his hidden sword to stick up the rotten flesh and take a closer look.

Manion came over and asked curiously: "What's so special about this rotten meat?"

"It's very special." Wei Mingye said, "This piece of carrion has been rotting for a long time. I can't deduce the specific time. In addition, since it has been rotting for such a long time, why hasn't it been decomposed by microorganisms?"

Manion had a realization and said, "You mean, this mysterious creature might be similar to the living dead?"

"Probably." Wei Mingye nodded, "Let's look for this kind of carrion again, and then take it back to the foundation for analysis. This is an important discovery. To be honest, those foundation investigators didn't search carefully. "

They continued to search for any clues among the ruins. There are many delicious breads and fresh milk placed on the street picnic tables, and the blood-stained wooden horses sway slightly with the wind. People here may not have thought that there would be such a day, in a warm and humid place where the air is full of On a morning filled with the fragrance of pine needles, a mysterious creature took away my hometown and even my life.

Wei Mingye stood on a stone wall that collapsed into a small hill. Maybe this was not the highest point of the village, but now, the village was almost razed to the ground, and the small hill under his feet was the highest point of the village now. Wei Mingye was standing here, his brows furrowed, probably because he encountered something puzzling.

"It's so weird." Wei Mingye turned to look at Manion, "It's really weird. We searched all the way and only saw some dried blood, not even a human corpse or even fragments of a human corpse. See."

Manion thought for a while and said, "Perhaps the mysterious creature is too hungry? Didn't even leave any residue?"

"...It's really a strange angle." Wei Mingye smiled, "It's not impossible."

Manion lightly punched Wei Mingye and said playfully: "Oh, you also know that I am not suitable for using my brain, sister, so don't make fun of me."

"Why are you making fun of your sister?" Wei Mingye said, "But I do care a little. Even a top killer will leave some clues when committing crimes. Even a footprint or a piece of dandruff may become a police officer. The key clue to solve the case. That mysterious creature, did it really eat people? Why was there no residue left? Or, did it not eat people at all, but just kidnapped people..."

Wei Mingye touched his chin, his deep eyes becoming deeper as he thought.

John came over and said: "There are no traces of the use of occult magic nearby. Also, please come with me to take a look. There are new clues by the lake."

The only main road in the village extends to the shore of a blue lake. The lake water gently washes the dark black soil, and the sun shines down, coating the lake with a layer of silvery white. They stood on the shore of the lake, and a drag mark nearly five meters long extended into the lake.

"The ground where the drag marks exist is several centimeters lower than the surrounding ground." John said, "This shows that the mysterious creature is very heavy and can be determined to be a large mysterious creature. And the area around the drag marks is filled with glowing mucus, and the air is full of There was a smell of disinfectant and moldy socks, or, to be precise, the smell of dead bodies.”

Wei Mingye looked at Manion and said in surprise: "Did you really guess it? The mysterious creature is similar to the living dead?"

"Guess! It's just a guess!" Manion waved his hands quickly and said, but he couldn't hide the proud expression on his face.

"It's better to take some of these things away." John squatted down and filled the liquid with a special sampling instrument, while Manion took a camera to take pictures of the drag marks in all directions.

To ensure that no key clues were missed, they searched the ruins for another hour. Manion straightened up and rubbed his waist for a while. Near noon, the lake water was evaporated by the sun, and the moist moisture was hidden in the air, making the village already deep in the forest even more humid and hot.

Manion swatted the mosquito on her arm to death. She smoothed the hair stuck to her forehead and turned to stare at Wei Mingye and John. They were still looking for clues about the "water snake" in the ruins.

"Perhaps they can apply for employment at the police station?" This idea came to Manion's mind. "What about me? Well, I admit that I am not very smart, but the pastries I make...well, everyone loves to eat... It seems like W can do it too? I don’t know if he does it well.”

Manion took a rest and joined the team searching for clues.
