Chapter 242 The Second Drop of Blood
Xia Yu suddenly broke through the window, turned into a bat in an instant, flapping his wings and hovering into the sky.
Looking down from below, a huge pit suddenly appeared outside the main entrance of the farmhouse. A war horse with green flames in his eyes was neighing and trying to climb out of the pit. Its back was also riding a strange knight without a head.
Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was not an ambush from a civilian player, but another dark creature. It seemed that he was the headless knight, but he didn't know who this person was.
Just as he was wondering whether to fly down to meet, he heard a horn sound in the village, lights lit up from the houses, and in the forest in the distance, flying tigers and his hunting dog appeared. Xia Yu saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly flapped his wings and flew towards the cemetery.
The village was making a fuss for a while that night, but Xia Yu ignored it and went back to his hut and fell asleep while lying on the bed.
The next morning, Xia Yu woke up under the sunlight. He stretched his waist and felt his whole body full of vitality. The blood he sucked last night has now been transformed into blood energy and is very energetic. Even the sunlight shining on his body is not so unbearable.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
The church bell rang, which was a signal to summon villagers. Xia Yu did not dare to neglect, so he sorted out his clothes and headed for the village.
When Xia Yu came to the church in the village, he found that it was already crowded with people.
Whether it was NPC or players, they were talking nonsense. The village chief was whispering to the judge. The atmosphere was obviously a little nervous. Xia Yu naturally knew the reason, but he still pretended to be curious and asked Xuanniao next to him, "Xuanniao, what happened?"
Xuanniao's face was solemn, "Chuxue died last night."
"What!" Xia Yu showed a surprised expression, "How could this happen? Those dark creatures are too arrogant. They started to kill people the first day. Is Chuxue not prepared?"
Xuanniao shook her head, "She is with Feihu, but Feihu is lured from the mountain and led out. When he comes back, Chuxue has been killed - where were you last night?"
"In the cemetery, I am a gravedigger and I live there at night."
"one person?"
"Yes, because I have a passive skill that can reduce the hostility of dark creatures towards me, so--hehe."
Xia Yu deliberately showed a proud expression, and Xuanniao couldn't help but feel speechless, "You are very good at choosing, don't be proud, don't forget that civilian players are all in the same group. If you lose in the end, everyone will lose together. And your profession like yours, will not arouse the suspicion of the villagers?"
Xia Yuxin said that he was really not afraid, we are weird, it’s normal to do anything.
However, his face showed a look of worry at the right time, "That's right. It seems that we have to discuss the tactics today. We can't disperse this way anymore, otherwise we will lose if we continue like this."
Xuanniao nodded without comment. Xia Yu could see that Xuanniao had a little doubt about him, but it should not be serious. At this time, the village chief and the judge had finished speaking, and the judge walked straight to the podium with a solemn look on his face.
"Dear villagers, last night, another horrific tragedy occurred in the village. The shepherd girl who lived in the ranch farmhouse was killed. Her blood was sucked dry. There is no doubt that this was definitely done by a dark creature. We must find it as soon as possible!
When the tragedy happened yesterday, who was nearby?"
Feihu hesitated for a moment and raised his hand. When he came back from the forest last night, Xuanniao happened to bring a group of villagers to check and directly meet him. He couldn't hide even if he wanted to.
The judge said: "Hunter, you said you were nearby last night?"
"Yes," Feihu nodded, "Yesterday the shepherd girl Chuxue said she was afraid of dark creatures, so she hired me to help her watch the flock. I was watching outside at night, and suddenly I heard a scream. I went over to check it out, and found that there was a figure sneaking outside the farmhouse. I shot an arrow at the man. The man ran into the forest. I hurriedly chased him. When I came back, I found that the shepherd girl was dead."
The judge nodded: "It seems that this person must be the murderer. Even if it is not, he must be the murderer's accomplice - did you say you shot an arrow at that person and shot it?"
Feihu said, "I shot that man in the ass." The judge's eyes swept over the villagers one by one, "It's simple, just find the person with injuries on his body."
The village chief hurriedly said, "Judge is so smart."
Xia Yu noticed that Ergouzi in the crowd had a pale face and began to move back quietly.
I couldn't help but feel very happy - you boy is today.
He patted Xuanniao and Ba Wang beside him, pointed at Ergouzi, and said in a deep voice: "That kid seems to have something wrong."
Xuanniao and Bawang understood, and the three of them blocked Ergouzi's way together. Bawang smiled grimly and said, "Ergouzi, where are you going?"
"Don't block the way, I'm in a hurry."
"I think you are guilty." After saying that, he suddenly slapped his butt.
He whispered in pain, and then immediately lowered his voice, "Damn, it's not me, I'm also a victim. Well, I admit that the person outside the sheep pen is me, but I'm really not a dark creature. I went to Chuxue to just want to steal a sheep. If I were a dark creature, I wouldn't be so easily injured. Don't be misled."
After hearing this, the Overlord believed it. At this time, other players also discovered the situation here and all came over.
Black Cat: "What's going on?"
Gentleman: "What's the situation?"
Dragon Knight: "What happened?"
The overlord said: "Ergouzi said that the man was him, but he was not a dark creature."
After hearing this, everyone started whispering to each other. Before everyone could judge the situation, the judge over there had already noticed the situation here, "What happened to you guys?"
Now I can't help letting Ergouzi go.
The overlord reacted very quickly, "Judge, I suspect that the miner Ergouzi is the dark creature." As he said that, he kicked up, and Ergouzi screamed again.
The villagers immediately surrounded him, without saying nonsense, and pulled Ergouzi's pants out of his hands, revealing a wound wrapped in cotton cloth.
"Yes, this person has an injury on his butt."
"Oh my God, it turns out you are such a person Ergouzi!"
The villagers exclaimed.
Ergouzi rolled his eyes and shouted, "My injury was accidentally bitten by a wolf during his hunting yesterday." After that, he begged several players, "Brothers, I am really not a dark creature, I just want to steal the offerings of Blowing Snow."
The leader also came over at this time, "How did you know that Chuxue has a sacrifice?"
"When I was drawing a professional card, I drew a shepherd and knew there was a sacrifice called Pure Aries."
The leader frowned, as if he felt that it was not very simple.
Xia Yu was hesitating how to work harder to kill this guy completely. Suddenly, a heavy breathing sound came from behind him, and a terrifying pressure came from behind. A chill suddenly rose in Xia Yu's heart, and his hair was about to stand up.
He subconsciously turned sideways and saw the judge walking over from him.
This person's strength is probably really terrifying, Xia Yu thought to himself.
Seeing the judge walking up to him, Ergouzi's voice became weaker, "Judge, I am innocent. My wound was really bitten by a wolf."
The presiding judge tore off the cotton cloth directly and stabbed his fingers into the wound. Ergouzi screamed in pain.
"There is only one wound, hum, such a low lie wants to deceive me, no evil can escape my eyes. If you are really innocent, then God will naturally restore your innocence. You guys, tie him up."
Feihu whispered, "Sorry, man, it's too late for you to say anything."
Everyone went up together, tied Ergouzi up a firm position, and carried it directly to the pillar outside. Several villagers brought lit torches and prepared to start the barbecue.
Ergouzi suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute, I know who the dark creature is. I want to provide evidence and I want to expose it!"
The presiding judge raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop: "Say, who is the dark creature! If you can really tell the truth, maybe you can relieve your soul of some sin."
Ergouzi glanced at everyone, and he knew that this was his last chance to survive. Who would be a dark creature? Ergouzi naturally didn't know that, so he could only take a gamble at this time.
"The leader! The leader is the dark creature."
The leader snorted coldly after hearing this: "I have been staying in the church last night and discussing theological issues with the Inquisitor. Is this your answer? You really disappointed me, Ergouzi."
"That's right," the judge nodded, "The priest and I have been discussing theology last night. The priest cannot be a dark creature at all. You dare to falsely accuse me. It seems that you have no intention of repentance, ignite the fire!"
A few torches were thrown onto the pile of firewood, and the flames burned instantly.
Ergouzi was surrounded by flames and screamed incredibly miserable, "Wacao, wax, wacao, wacao, can you please do it? You're going to die! Why don't wao die yet!"
It took a few minutes to howl before being burned to death, which made Xia Yu sweat. Although it wasn't really dead, it looked really painful.
The others were also frightened, fearing that the next turn would be their turn.
But the villagers all cheered and screamed excitedly.
The judge looked at the flames burned Ergouzi to char.
"Very good. For those evil people, they need to purify them with sacred flames. Today is just the beginning. Feihu, you are doing a good job. Next, villagers, please continue to work hard. We will convene a gathering again tomorrow to see if there will be new discoveries."
When the judge and the villagers all dispersed, the players stayed.
The leader looked at the burnt corpse and thought for a long time, then suddenly frowned: "No, it seems that Ergouzi is really not a dark creature."
The overlord said: "What do you say?"
"If Ergouzi is a dark creature, he has been strengthened at least. Even if he cannot transform during the day, he will have to struggle a few times. However, from being caught to burn to death, he feels like an ordinary person, and he will not be exposed when he is about to die. Obviously, it is unlikely. The biggest possibility is that he is actually a civilian, and maybe he is really just going to steal sheep."
When everyone heard this, they were stunned. It sounded like something was right.
Xuanniao said solemnly: "Don't that meant that two civilians died in one day? One of the dark creatures did not die, that's not great."
Overlord: "Yes, yes, this is not good."
Prodigal son: "It's over, we're sure to lose."
Gentleman: "It's a bad start, no, we have to think of a way."
Xia Yu: "That's right, we must find a way to get rid of the current unfavorable situation."
Everyone looked worried and hurried, but their eyes looked at each other and looked at me, and I looked at you, all trying to find out the dark creatures hidden in it.
