The magician in the city

Chapter 182 Ye Xiao

Chapter 180

"How far is it from here?" Du Zhengyi asked calmly.

"I don't know the actual distance," Roach squeezed his forehead to calm himself down as soon as possible, "but I know that it is probably over a mountain, where it may be the junction of two mountains."

"Surface?" Du Zhengyi asked.

Roach was thinking nervously. He didn't enter the heads of any creatures. He used consciousness to distinguish the forms of creatures, and then relied on the relative positions of the creatures to judge the terrain.He quickly retraces the possible omissions, and finally nodded, "I think it's the surface."

"How many?" Du Zhengyi asked again.

"Eleven." Roach kept up with Du Zhengyi's clean rhythm, "evenly distributed, so it feels like the natural population of the village, but there are no other living things."

"It doesn't matter if there are only eleven words." Du Zhengyi said, but Luo Qi heard that there was probably a turning point in Du Zhengyi's words, lacking a "but".

Before he had time to think, another series of screams broke out in the village, the sound of opening and closing doors came out, and the living people in the village yelled ghostly sounds.

"What's going on here?" Du Zhengyi asked again, he walked towards the door, Roach hurriedly followed, and the two walked along the corridor towards the door of the house.

Roach took the time to walk and said, "As soon as my consciousness arrived there, a high-level energy source was triggered. I felt a consciousness, and that thing was particularly frightening, so I withdrew it. Those few human screams The barking happened almost at the same time."

When they reached the door, Luo Qi subconsciously reached out and grabbed Du Zhengyi's forearm, "Brother, do you remember the rural middle school teacher Wen Lin mentioned?"

He saw Du Zhengyi's eyes staring at him in the dark corridor, with sharp eyes, "I remember."

"The screaming villagers are the sharpest in human beings. They should have woken up from a nightmare." Roach said.

But Roach also knew that this cry was too terrifying, far from the sound that can be forced out by ordinary nightmares, it was more like a direct effect on the fear unit of the brain.Perhaps everyone felt the panic, but some people with more delicate nerves were affected more strongly.

"Go out and have a look." Du Zhengyi pushed open the door.

They might be the only yard that didn't turn on the lights. Roach looked around, there were lights everywhere, and every family's yard seemed to have turned on the lights hanging high.Now the ghostly screams have stopped, replaced by chaos, and the whole village has turned into a blind bull, a monster without a head.

This monster is composed of countless sounds of opening and closing doors, crying, shouting and killing, and the sound of countless hoofs stamping on the ground. Countless animals broke free from the chains and smashed open the gate.Someone ran out of the house and ran down the street, but there was no definite direction to speak of.

Roach felt only two words, chaos.

"This may be Ye Xiao." Du Zhengyi said calmly.

Luo Qi's brain reacted slowly in shock, Du Zhengyi had already walked towards the gate, he hurriedly followed, and heard Du Zhengyi explain further. "Ancient humans encountered this kind of situation when they camped at night in battle. Although rare, there are quite a few recorded times. According to their current medical explanation, it should be a group panic caused by a sudden stimulus. Stress response."

"Like a sudden herd of herbivores?" Roach said, trembling as they opened the gate.

"It's kind of like, like a group running wild in the African grasslands. In the final analysis, whether it is a mage or a human, they are all animals." Du Zhengyi whispered, and he frowned in disgust, as if he was about to do it. Here comes the dirty work.

"Then we..." Roach was speechless, he didn't know what to do.

"Follow me, don't stray too far from me." Du Zhengyi said, stepping into the night of the village.

Roach followed him closely. He didn't know how Du Zhengyi judged that the two neighboring houses were not worth entering. Du Zhengyi directly jumped over the courtyard wall of the third house in the south.Luo Qi had no experience in dealing with emergencies, but the mage's body structure allowed him to jump over the courtyard wall in the countryside. Although he couldn't see his feet clearly when he fell, he immediately stabilized his body and ran after Du Zheng. The door of this house is gone.

He ran desperately, the courtyard in the northern countryside was 50 meters deep, but they ran to the door in the blink of an eye, his heart was beating wildly, and suddenly he thought that the yard of this house was not turned on, and only one light was on in the house .

Just as they ran to the door, the door of this house burst open, and a burly man stood at the door, staring at them.

Luo Qi's heart sank suddenly, there was no rational light in the man's round eyes, he was like a muscular beast.Luo Qi smelled a smell of blood, and with a little light from the yard next door, he saw the kitchen knife in the man's hand.

The man seemed to instinctively judge that Du Zhengyi was more threatening to him, so he raised the knife in his hand and swung it wildly at Du Zhengyi.Du Zheng smashed his wrist away with a swing of his fist, and swiftly slashed his palm on his neck, causing him to sway and pass out.

Roach hurried past the man. There was the sound of a child crying in the room. He ran in, fumbling along the wall to turn on the light.The layout of the houses of these villagers was almost the same, and he found the crying child in the kitchen at the back.A four or five-year-old child was twitching and crying. Roach seemed to have been hit in the back of the head with a sap, looking desperately at the blood cut on the child's back.

Du Zhengyi followed into the kitchen and went straight to the child, "I know a little first aid to stop bleeding and speed up healing, but I'm not as professional as mahjong. Roach, call a human emergency immediately."

Trembling, Roach took out his cell phone and did so. After making the call, he heard Du Zhengyi using magic to heal the child while asking him repeatedly, "Where's your mother?"

He must have thought the woman was being attacked as well, but Roach understood the child better than he did, "Don't ask, brother, the child said he ran away."

He could see that Du Zhengyi didn't understand that Du Zheng had an unbreakable obsession with the relationship between mother and child.Luo Qi said softly, "It's not that I ran away for my life, it means that I got divorced."

Du Zheng looked up at him in a daze, and Roach swallowed, "I think there must be a lot of murders tonight, and the long-buried evil thoughts of the people here may have been released."

As soon as Du Zheng let go of the child, the child had already calmed down a lot. He said to the child, "The ambulance is back."

What he said to the child was too rational. Roach estimated that Du Zhengyi would never talk to the child. He knelt down and picked up the child.Luo Qi hugged the child and buried his head in the child's small body. He might also collapse. What kind of devil did he release?

"It has nothing to do with you." Du Zhengyi said suddenly, Roach didn't even expect Du Zhengyi to stop scolding him for a while, he was taken aback.

Du Zhengyi continued, "All mind mages who come here to investigate will cause such a result."

"Did Dahei do it?" Roach asked.

"I suspect it's Guan Yushan." Du Zhengyi said coldly, "This is an ancient defensive method."

Luo Qi's mind was in a mess, and he felt Du Zhengyi squeeze his shoulder, "You wait here, I'll check elsewhere. The ambulance will come, and the police will come, don't forget to erase trace."

Roach nodded.
