Welcome to Bloodline Unicom [Entertainment Circle]

Case knelt limply in front of the old wooden box, and did not respond to any inquiries or touches from the outside world. The early disappearance of the pistol seemed to make him completely lose confidence.

Lin Yuzhen quickly walked past Case, who was devastated, and came to the half-covered wardrobe.

The old wardrobe with many scratches on the surface was surprisingly high, and the top was almost attached to the ceiling. When the door was opened, the clothes were scattered on the floor, and a bulge could be vaguely glimpsed in the deep corner.

Lin Yuzhen leaned forward to remove the clothes covered there, and what was revealed was a random item box with only one simple question on it - who stole my pistol?

There is a reserved answer area below, but there are no options.

He took out the item box, bent his fingers and tapped on the inner panel of the closet, but found nothing unusual.

Bat swarms are still tirelessly hitting the windows. As long as there are enough of them, if this trend continues, it will only be a matter of time before the glass shatters.

Lin Yuzhen put away the props box, walked quickly to the simple shelf for storing sundries by the west wall, picked and picked among the messy items in one of the shelves, and took out two old kerosene lamps, a dagger, a A box of matches, a chipped porcelain plate, and some scraps of wood.After doing this, the wall that was originally covered by debris was exposed. He suddenly found that the color of the wall was a little different from other parts, and it looked a little whiter. Compared with the surrounding black or gray walls, this thumb-sized area is much neater.

The upper wall is covered by more sundries in the other shelf of the cabinet, and there is nothing useful at a glance. It takes time and effort to clean up, and the bat swarm outside the window needs to be resolved urgently.Lin Yuzhen temporarily gave up the search for this wall, threw the pieces of wood strips into a porcelain plate, and started a fire.

There was another dull impact, followed by the crisp sound of shattering glass.The swarm of bats had broken through the defense line of the window, and the wooden strips with gaps in the inner layer might not last long.

Zhou Ruiyao quickly picked up the fire plate that had just been lit, and approached the broken gap. Lin Yuzhen took another kerosene lamp and put it on the window sill. The combination of smoke, open flame and light can effectively dispel it theoretically.

However, to their surprise, after breaking the glass, the bat swarm only hovered outside the window for a moment, and before the smoke and light arrived, they flew away from the scene by themselves, as if the fierce attack just now was just to spy on whether there was anyone in the window .Lin Yuzhen was taken aback for a moment, then picked up a kerosene lamp and ran downstairs.

Zhou Ruiyao watched helplessly as he pulled open the wooden latch on the door and rushed into the half-dark sky alone: ​​"Where are you going?!"

Lin Yuzhen didn't look back: "Follow the bat!"

Zhou Ruiyao was really shocked for a moment before he realized his intention - if the bats really only locate the existing residents, follow them to find other survivors in the town.He gritted his teeth, picked up another kerosene lamp and rushed out.

-

Almost as soon as he left Keith's tavern, the team communication on his wrist immediately lit up, and Du Fei shouted anxiously: "Lin Yuzhen, are you still in town? Go find Carl! You are the one in line Time to get chased away by that stupid big man! He is a blacksmith and has a twin brother, Pol, who was invited to a dance in the city today, and we happened to intercept him!"

Lin Yuzhen: "Twins?"

"Yes. We also got a prop box from Gray Rabbit, called Karl's Wish. It needs the right tool to unlock it. The keyhole looks like a needle or a thin nail. Go to him to get it. If he doesn't open the door Just say Paul sent you here!"

Lin Yuzhen digested Du Fei's crackling while following the trail of the bat swarm: "Understood, has Ellis gone back?"

"I'm back, I'm back, you don't have to worry about others, and find Karl before dark, okay?" Du Fei was more anxious than him.

Swarms of bats fly so fast that it's almost impossible to catch them if they don't stop for a moment.Fortunately, they didn't fly for too long, and they landed outside another closed house.

Next, a series of actions of hitting, hovering, and flying away in the same way confirmed Lin Yuzhen's guess.

Zhou Ruiyao followed another team of bats to mark the inhabited houses. The two turned many turns and tracked the distance separately. Only then did Lin Yuzhen see a house wrapped in iron with a door higher than other buildings. In many houses, as soon as the bat had withdrawn from the window, he would go up and knock on the door.

Carl's hoarse voice came from inside the door: "Who?"

According to what Du Fei said, Lin Yuzhen played Boer's name, but Karl didn't open the door immediately, and said in a bad tone: "It's this time, why do you want me?"

The setting sun completely sank into the horizon and disappeared, and the semi-darkness of the sky turned into a deep darkness. Lin Yuzhen knew that he could not delay any longer, so he decided to take a risk: "That's right, Mr. Boer and Gray Rabbit have entrusted me to help you realize a wish. "

It’s okay not to mention Gray Rabbit, but as soon as he was mentioned, Carl’s emotions immediately became agitated: “Help me realize my wish?” He smiled sarcastically, “After so many years, I thought he was dead, until Boer received I only know that he is still alive and well in Rose City with his autographed invitation. But he didn't even give me a chance to meet him, so what wish is he going to help me realize?"

The night wind brought a chill, and Lin Yuzhen could already feel the danger lurking in the darkness: "The situation in Rose City is not what you imagined, it's not safe there. Can I go in and talk about it?"

Carl fell silent, and the surrounding was so quiet for a while that made people palpitate.

Lin Yuzhen used the light from the kerosene lamp to observe the situation around the tin house with his peripheral vision. After the cold wind just passed, the grass no longer shook at all, and the insects that could be heard before dark also disappeared. without a trace.

The door of the iron house suddenly opened from the inside. He hurriedly withdrew his gaze and looked up at the strong Karl. Out of the corner of his eye, he vaguely saw a black shadow passing by.

Before he had time to confirm, the blacksmith took a step forward with a serious face, and Lin Yuzhen subconsciously stepped back. At this moment, the gunshot sounded——

The bullet, which was too fast to be seen, pierced Karl's body in an instant, and before he even realized what happened, he fell back stiffly.

At the same time, the staff in front of the monitoring screen of the SuperMR base suddenly stood up: "What's going on? The blacksmith is dead?!"

The technician on the side poked his head over: "What's wrong?"

"I remember that the blacksmith shouldn't have died in this place at all!" The staff was shocked from ear to ear, "Quickly switch to the backstage!"

The technician hurriedly called up the background code, accurately located the blacksmith's location, and marked the last line of code: "No problem, that's how this place is written."

The staff looked at the highlighted position in disbelief: "When did you add this line?"

The technician scratched at his hair, his expression more confused than his: "Add it? Isn't it there from the beginning?"

The two were relatively silent for a while, and finally, under the determined and strange eyes of the technician, the staff who was in charge of staring at the monitoring screen weakened: "Is it...? Maybe I remembered it wrong..."

The body of the blacksmith hit the floor of the room with a heavy muffled sound. Lin Yuzhen could clearly feel the cold sweat on his palms—if Karl hadn’t stepped forward just now and he backed away at the same time, the bullet would not have hit him. blacksmith.

Almost instinctively, he bounced up in an instant, rushed into Carl's hut, and closed the door tightly with his backhand, but suddenly remembered what Case said, once selected by "Reaper", even if he stayed at home and closed the doors and windows, he would hide. But that deadly bullet.

However, there is often only one townsman selected every year.

What should happen next?Could the only pistol in town be dropped nearby?

Lin Yuzhen slowly squatted down holding the kerosene lamp.

On the blacksmith's dark skin, the ravines left by the years criss-crossed. His eyes were widened with shock, and there was still strong anger and unwillingness in his lost eyes.

Where the bullet hit, black blood was gurgling out.
