After the execution in the square, the residents of the city withdrew one after another, and Chu Yangbing and others also quietly retreated to a hidden place in the small town.

It's just that the atmosphere this time is a bit subtle. After watching the execution in the square, no one can see the maliciousness of this story towards women.It is said that it is a trial of witches, but in fact it is the persecution of women in essence. The four women in the story participants are obviously the most dangerous targets.

Fortunately, "Book of Horror" will not put the participants in a desperate situation as soon as they come up. The loose clothes on their bodies block the sight of the residents in the city. , but not exposed to the residents.

"Let's act separately." Lilith immediately put forward her own suggestion. She doesn't trust the other three, and the other three won't trust them either. If that's the case, it's better to separate directly.

The others agreed, and Lilith took Jiang Zhirou to leave first, and Fang Qingmei and Qian Zishan also retreated together.

Lilith and Lu Feichen looked at each other before retreating, their strong intuition made them understand the meaning of each other's eyes.

Liang You originally wanted to go with Chu Yangbing and Lu Feishen, but Lu Feishen took Chu Yangbing's hand and pulled him away first, leaving Liang You alone.

Lu Feishen pulled Chu Yangbing into the complicated streets and alleys of the small town. Chu Yangbing tripped before he walked a few steps, and when he lowered his head, he realized that it was the legs of a corpse that tripped him.The corpse fell in the shadow of the wall, Lu Feishen pulled Chu Yangbing and walked so fast, Chu Yangbing didn't pay attention to the road so he tripped.

"How many people died in this city?" Chu Yangbing frowned.

Lu Fei took a deep look at the corpse on the ground, then turned his head to help Chu Yangbing cover up his clothes more tightly, and said, "We still don't know how the plague spreads, so try not to come into contact with anything in this city. "

Chu Yangbing nodded. With such a high mortality rate, of course we must pay attention to protection.

The two turned around in the alley, and after a while, they turned back to the corner they had just parted from. Lilith and Jiang Zhirou were waiting for them there.

"The archbishop said that the witch is the messenger of the devil. The devil brought this plague. The plague will only end if the witch is found and burned to death." Lilith said straight to the point: "Do you think you should believe the archbishop's words?"

Lu Feishen said: "The knights brought by the archbishop sealed off the city. We can't escape. If we stay for a long time, we will inevitably be infected by the plague. Then we will die. Since the archbishop mentioned the way to end the plague, we You should try, this may also be the condition for the end of the story."

Burn the witch, end the plague, and maybe that would end the story.

"The Bone Church given in the reminder may be the church where the archbishop is. The cat refers to the witch. The reminder says that the cat is the cousin of the Sphinx. Is it implying the relationship between the witch and the demon? The reminder also said that the cat knows the Sphinx. The past that Finks has forgotten, does it mean that the witch knows some important information." Jiang Zhirou also analyzed from the side: "So finding the witch is the key."

Lilith thought for a while and said, "Okay."

But here comes the problem, this city is very big, there are thousands of stone houses, big and small, standing here, besides these stone houses, there are corner alleys, dark corners... where can't people hide?

Chu Yangbing said: "The abyss, the small river, the small river in the abyss clogged with corpses is the witch's soup dish, and the witch should be related to the river."

"The river blocked by corpses," Lu Fei shook his head, and said, "At present, we don't know how the plague spreads, and we don't know if there is any cure for the infection. Those corpses blocking the river must be People who died of the plague, the danger of going directly to that river is too great."

"Then get in touch with these living residents first, and try to find out when the plague broke out, how long it lasted, and how many people died." Lilith said.

"You and Jiang Zhirou are too dangerous." Lu Feishen said, "If you want to get in touch with the local residents, it's best to come with Chu Yangbing."

Lilith and Jiang Zhirou had no objection to this.

The four of them turned to the main road and began to observe the city calmly.The situation in this city is not optimistic. People are dying every moment.Except for the body collectors in black robes, almost no one walked on the road.

Chu Yangbing was observing his surroundings when he saw the person walking in front suddenly fall to the ground.

Chu Yangbing and Lu Feichen glanced at each other, and after looking from a distance, they found that the man was black all over, apparently dead.After the man fell to the ground, a man in black came over and dragged away his body.

Chu Yang Bing looked around and found that the people on the street were all coming out of stone houses painted with red dead characters.

"So the stone house painted with the red death letter was inhabited by people infected with the plague? When they thought they were about to die, they went to the street and waited for someone to collect their bodies?" Chu Yangbing frowned. He didn't expect the situation to have deteriorated so much. Cruel to the point.

Without a doctor, without treatment, those infected with the plague were simply abandoned, and they were left to fend for themselves, waiting to die.

Lu Fei tugged at Chu Yangbing, and said in a low voice: "Let's first find a stone house that is unpainted and has people in it to get in touch with the people inside. The four of us have too big a goal on the street."

The residents who were still walking on the street were basically dying, and the small group of four of them was really eye-catching.

The four of them turned into an alley, found a stone house and knocked on the door. The door opened a little, and a tightly wrapped man glanced at them through the crack of the door.The man's exposed eyes were full of lifelessness, and after taking a look, he closed the door with a 'bang'.

Chu Yangbing glanced sideways at Lu Feishen, and Lu Feishen signaled to Chu Yangbing to stay calm.

Footsteps were heard in the stone house, and the man came back after a while, opened the door and threw something to them.

"Food." The man closed the door again, and said to them through the door panel, "I can only give you this."

Chu Yangbing was a little overwhelmed with the food, because he misunderstood them as people who came out to beg for food after eating at home.Also, if it weren't for the food at home to be starved to death, who would appear outside when the plague was rampant, but they really didn't come to ask for food.

Chu Yangbing originally wanted to send the food back to that person, but Lu Feishen stopped him. Lu Feishen said to the inside: "Thank you for the food. We are foreign businessmen who came here to do business before the closure of the city. I would like to ask When did the plague in this city start? How long did it last? How many people died?"

"Why are you asking this?" The person in the house refused to talk, he said: "Don't come outside! Get out! Get out!"

Chu Yangbing and Lu Feichen looked at each other, the resistance of the people in the room made it impossible to continue their conversation.

Lilith said hoarsely: "Try to find someone else."

The four wandered around in the alley and knocked on the doors of some stone houses. Some people simply did not open the door for them, and some gave some food, but they were unwilling to communicate with them too much. Until they knocked on the door of an elderly man.

The old man didn't show any signs of turning black, but the death aura on his body was astonishing. Even if he wasn't infected with the plague, he probably wouldn't be able to live for long.

"Old people, we are foreign businessmen who came here to do business before the closure of the city. I would like to ask when did the plague in this city start? How long did it last? How many people died?" Lu Feishen said With the fixed set of words, trying to get words out of his mouth. "

Hearing what they said, the old man didn't close the door, he turned sideways to let them in and talk.

The old man's stone house is full of all kinds of dirt and dust, and some children's toys are scattered on the ground.Chu Yangbing looked around, from the corner of the table wrapped in soft cloth to the small wooden sword, it could be seen that there should be a boy in this family.

It's just that the stone house is full of death and decay. Where did the boy go? Combined with the plague outside and this old man full of death, the result is self-evident.

"Please feel free." The old man vibrated his old vocal cords and made a hoarse and unpleasant voice, "Why do you ask about those things?"

"We have no malicious intentions. The old man also saw that the archbishop said that the plague was brought by witches. He must have burned many 'witches' to death, but the plague has not stopped and is still spreading." Lu Feishen said: "The archbishop doesn't mean it. We want to know more about the plague. After learning about the plague, we want to see if we can develop a medicine. The plague is also a kind of disease, and there are medicines to treat it."

"It's useless, only holy water can stop the plague from spreading." The old man said, "It's a demon, a witch, and there is no cure."

Chu Yangbing and Lu Fei looked at each other, Lu Fei pondered for a moment, and said: "Old man, please answer our questions, we are unwilling to give up and want to find another way to save the people in the city."

The old man's haggard body was stretched straight, like a dry Populus euphratica that refused to fall down. The suffocating silence lasted for a while. Just when Chu Yangbing thought that the old man was unwilling to open his mouth, he said: "The plague is born in half a year. It started before, the City of Glory was the only way to enter the inland, and there were witches who mixed into the city to spread the plague. At the beginning, some people died at home with their whole body blackened, and then more and more such people, two-thirds of the city Everyone is dead."

"Such a large-scale death alarmed the Holy See, and the Holy See sent people to seal the city." The old man whispered: "Because we hid the witches and attracted demons, the Heavenly Father abandoned us."

Chu Yangbing and Lu Feichen glanced at each other. In fact, regardless of witches and demons, this so-called "City of Glory" should be a big city with developed commerce and trade. Merchants from all over the world gathered here, which also brought diseases from other places. , sounds like a fairly normal form of disease transmission.

"Why did the Holy See say that the plague was brought by witches?" Chu Yangbing couldn't help asking, it was obviously a plague, if protection and medical treatment were done well, at least so many people wouldn't die.
