My Summoner Can Learn Skills

Chen Gou and Dong Li rode their horses to a small square in the center of the village and stopped. Several old people hurried over.

One of them, who looked to be in his fifties, was still in good health and said respectfully, You two knights, I am Bai Fang, the village head of Baishi Village. Thanks to the Holy See and Sir Knight, the village is finally saved.

Stop talking nonsense, take us to see the dead bodies of the victims, and send someone to look after our war horses and feed them some water and beans!

Dongli got off his horse over the mountain and threw the reins to a young villager with eyesight.

Chen Gou followed suit.

Yes, Lord Knight, please follow me.

Under the guidance of the village chief, a group of villagers and members of the wildfire mercenary group came to the church where the corpses were temporarily stored, surrounded by two abyss knights.

This is a small church built of brick and adobe, and it is a little bigger than the small courtyard of the Longsong team in Panshi City. There are no priests and bishops stationed by the Holy See.

It started a month ago when a sick, comatose girl suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, screaming, and then lost her breath. We thought he was just too sick, so we didn't pay much attention.

A week later, another boy suddenly disappeared in the same way in the middle of the night. There was no visible wound on his body, and he only uttered a loud cry.

Five days later, an adult in the village died tragically. This time, there were scars on his body, which seemed to be scratched by the claws of some wild beast, but we can be sure that no wild beast has ever entered their room...

interesting.

Dong Li was obviously very interested in this kind of weird incident. He successively removed the white cloth covering several corpses on the ground, and knelt down to examine the wounds on his body carefully.

Chen Gou also chose a corpse and studied it carefully.

He had not studied anatomy, nor was he well versed in the characteristics of the scars caused by various attacks.

But the keen perception of the rank awakened person got two very strong messages.

First, scars are not only claw marks, but also scars such as sharp objects piercing viscera, or fractures caused by violent impact;

Second, the wound on the deceased's body was bloody and terrifying, and his facial expression was distorted, showing extreme horror, as if he had suffered cruel torture before his death.

Three days later, another person died, and the death condition became more and more horrific. Some wives even saw their husbands lying on the bed sleeping, but suddenly their stomachs were torn apart, and blood gushed out from their internal organs.

The old village chief continued: Later, the time for dead people became shorter and shorter, and more and more people died. Until four days ago, people died every night, and more than one!

In order to avoid the plague, all the early corpses had been buried. Only those who died in the past ten days were parked in the church, but the number was as many as a dozen.

Fatal injuries are not the same, but they all have a common feature, that is, the expression of horror.

Based on the state of the body and the available information, I have drawn several conclusions.

Dong Li said in a deep voice: First, this is by no means a man-made vendetta, it must be caused by evil spirits.

Second, the terrified expression of the deceased proves that the demon behind it is a cruel, bloodthirsty pervert who takes pleasure in killing and enjoys the terror of the slain.

Third, from the increasing number of deaths and the shorter and shorter time intervals, it can be inferred that the power of the demon is likely to be increasing.

What do you think? He finally asked Chen Gou for advice.

After hearing this, Chen Gou was noncommittal, and turned to several members of the Wildfire team and asked, How long have you been here, and what have you found?

We only came here three days ago, and we found some rules that we don't know if it's correct or not—the demons only commit crimes at night, and their targets are random, coming and going without a trace. Yesterday we were lucky enough to see a villager killed The whole process.

An ordinary-looking young woman walked out of the wildfire team, and said: First, she shouted in horror, words such as 'don't, don't, go away', her limbs twitched, as if resisting something, and then the whole person suddenly flew up by itself , the most powerful player in our standing team couldn't hold it down.

In the end, after he knocked our team members into the air, he hit his head on the beam of the house, shattered it, and spilled it all over the floor.

Chen Gou frowned slightly when he heard this, but he was still noncommittal: What do you infer?

We think there are two possibilities for the characteristics of the demon. The first is that it has very powerful stealth skills, and other than the victim, others cannot see it;

The second is that its attack method is spiritual and soul-like, which can kill people invisible from a very long distance.

Although the woman is young, she is the captain of the wildfire team, and she knows everything without saying anything.

Because under the rule of the Holy See of the Covenant, everyone is obliged to help the envoys of the Holy See to complete their tasks.

Furthermore, she also has her own plans - if she can take this opportunity to get in touch with the two abyss knights, it will undoubtedly be of great help to the Wildfire team to gain a foothold near Rock City in the future.

For an unknown small team like them, if they want to grow, they must have a backer in the Holy See.

Although these two abyssal knights sounded very young, only the knights who had just been promoted in this way could accept their votes.

Otherwise, any well-organized Abyss Knight team would not be able to take a second look at Wildfire.

No, both of the two things you said don't make sense.

At this time, Chen Gou shook his head while thinking, If it's invisible, most of the victims will close their eyes until they die, so how did they get the frightened expression on their faces?

If it was a mental attack, the expression explained it, and it was likely that he had fallen into some kind of terrible illusion, but the death method of this attack should be a mental breakdown and annihilation of the soul, and it is impossible to have obvious trauma on the body!

Is it possible that these two situations are combined? Dong Li frowned.

He felt that he might have been underestimated before, and this task might be quite difficult, but with a mask on his face, no one could see the change in his expression.

It's unlikely. If it possesses the spiritual ability to kill people invisible, and can also achieve invisibility that is difficult for even a demon hunter to detect, then he doesn't need to slowly recover his strength, and he would have slaughtered the entire village long ago.

In addition, I quite agree with your point of view - the power of this demon is increasing, or he is recovering. What it is...I'm afraid we need to watch the night tonight and try it ourselves to find out.

Chen Gou's logical thinking ability has always been good, trying to find out the truth hidden behind the appearance.

That's the only way to go. Dongli nodded.

A lot of things are deceptive, and seeing is believing, and any matter will be more or less deviated from reality after being relayed by others.

So Chen Gou and Dong Li directly ordered the village chief to gather all the villagers in the square in front of the church, light a few big bonfires in the middle to keep warm, and everyone will spend the night here after dinner.

It's Mid-Autumn Festival now, the temperature is not very cold at night, and the villagers are tortured by the fear of death to the verge of collapse, so there is no resistance to this order.

I only hope that the abyss knights sent by the Holy See can find out the demon behind it.

The advantage of this is that no matter which villager is attacked tonight, they can see it immediately.

All the villagers gather around the bonfire in the four directions of east, west, north and south, with straw mats or quilts spread on the ground.

The wildfire team was arranged around the square to monitor all possible figures that might approach.

Chen Gou and Dong Li stood in the middle, looking around.

Chen Gou's gaze swept over the villagers and members of the wildfire team from time to time. He suspected that the demon might turn into a human and hide in the crowd like the green beast...
