When he saw Alex walking down the watchtower step by step, his figure blending into the night and disappearing from his sight, Brunn Lang sighed faintly: "What was supposed to come, has come."
After Alex returned to the room, he lit the oil lamp and looked out the window quietly.
Although he didn't know what the previous screams meant, as time passed, he faintly heard noises coming from the street.
"Did they show up again?" This was the doubt in Alex's mind. In addition, he also had suspicions about Father Brown. He always felt that Father Brown seemed a bit weird. Just now, he stopped himself,
It seems to have an ulterior motive.
Time passed, and about ten minutes later, a figure slowly appeared in the room.
Alex: "Mr. Pat, did you find anything?"
Alex returned to the room just now, but that didn't mean that Angel also came back with him. Angel immediately went to the south of Gust Town to see the location of the incident.
"Two more people died, besides..." Angel paused, and his eyes suddenly became dark.
Alex waited puzzledly for Angel's words.
"Besides that, I also saw the perpetrator."
"Really? It's Knight Raven?" Alex was shocked and asked quickly.
Angel shook his head: "It's not Knight Raven and Camelot, it's two other people."
When Angel said this, the illusion power surrounding the core of his consciousness slowly transformed into two figures in front of him. One was a woman who looked wide and fat, and the other was a very thin sick man.
Disappointed man.
Angel: "These two people are also undead."
Alex swallowed his saliva, stared at the two phantom figures, and murmured in a low voice: "I know both of them. One is Ms. Martin who disappeared yesterday. It seems that she also suffered
By misfortune, another..."
"It's Mr. Shrek who died two years ago."
The perpetrators were not the Knights of Raven and Camelot, but Alex felt an even stronger coldness. This means that all the people who were killed in the past have become undead?
Although Alex had made similar speculations before, he still couldn't believe it.
It took a while for Alex to gradually digest the news that shocked him. After he recovered, he asked: "Mr. Pat, where did they go in the end?"
If we know the whereabouts of these undead, does it mean that we can find the person who controls the undead?
Angel shook his head: "They blended into the surrounding air and disappeared."
"Disappeared?"
"In my opinion, it's more like they entered another special space inside the cage." Of course, it is possible that the undead left the cage, but this possibility is very small.
Another special space? Alex didn't understand what this meant, but before he could ask, Angel threw another shock bomb.
"In addition to seeing the two undead, I also captured a figure at the scene. It was a human being and not an undead."
Alex looked up suddenly: "A living person? Is it the controller?"
"Maybe, I didn't see very clearly, because the figure disappeared first. I only saw a vague back. What I can confirm is that it was a human being. He carried the body of a murdered person.
Also entered the special space I mentioned."
"Is it a boy or a girl? What are its characteristics?" Alex asked quickly.
"I don't know." Angel has no physical body now. It is difficult to quickly obtain on-site information simply by relying on the power of illusion: "Speaking of characteristics... the back looks a bit rickety."
Rickets is an obvious characteristic, but there are not only 700 but also 800 people in Gust Town who are rickets.
The possibility of finding someone based on this characteristic is very low.
"No matter what, at least one thing is certain, the manipulator is likely to stay in Gust Town all the time!" Alex said.
"In addition to this information, the special space is also useful information." The phantom beside Angel slowly disappeared and turned into a white cage.
Before yesterday, they only regarded this world as a white cage.
But what is certain from today’s information is that there is still a special space that exists.
Angel pointed his finger slightly, and a shadow appeared below the white cage. Under the light source, it looked like a black cage. And this black cage may be that special space.
After Angel finished describing what he saw, he asked a question: "Why did you kill these people?"
Yesterday, with Anthony's death and Martin's disappearance, they also speculated whether it was because these two people saw the face of Knight Raven, which led to murderous intent.
But what happened today was weird. There was no special connection between the murder case during the day and the two people who died just now.
Why kill them?
"Could it be that they were seen while searching for Mrs. Connie in the town?" Alex still used yesterday's logic to make a guess.
Angel: "They are definitely looking for Mrs. Connie, but if they are searching in a big way, more people will see them. If they are searching in secret, it will be difficult for others to find them."
"
"I heard Mr. Pat say that the undead are inherently cruel. Could it be that they just want to kill people?"
"If the undead kill people, these people won't be the only ones killed."
After denying several guesses in succession, the cause of the murder suddenly became a mystery.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Alex's mind: "If it's not the undead, could it be the controller? Because Mrs. Connie couldn't be found, the undead controller began to escalate the situation gradually, and in the end it might even be possible
out of control?"
Although this guess is possible in Angel's opinion, it is still just a guess. Until the controller is found, nothing can be concluded.
Now that things have happened, Alex once again took out the cases he recorded, hoping to find out the traces of the manipulator from the cases.
But at this time, Angel suddenly said: "When we were in the watchtower just now, Father Blanchard's behavior was a little strange, don't you think?"
Alex paused and nodded: "It's indeed a bit strange, but he shouldn't be the manipulator."
Because Father Brown was with the Sheriff all day yesterday, and Father Brown was also here when the accident happened just now, we can be sure that Father Brown was not the manipulator.
"According to the timeline, he is indeed not the controller. But we can't be sure that there is only one controller." When Angel said this, he changed the subject: "Of course, from Father Brenlang's remarks in the past two days,
Judging from his performance, he is in awe of death, just as you said, and I don’t think he is a manipulator. But-"
"He behaved very strangely, as if he knew something."
After Angel heard the scream just now, he immediately went to the scene of the crime. When he came back, he found that Father Bruno was still in the watchtower, looking at the place where the accident happened, with a very solemn expression.
This solemnity even made Angel feel the despair in his heart.
It was precisely because of this feeling that Angel felt that Father Brunlon might not be the manipulator, but he must know something inside.
There is another thing that worries Angel very much but does not tell Alex.
Angel has always had a hunch, or a wizard's instinctive intuition, that Alex, an "outsider" like him, is most likely the meaning of this cage's existence.
If this speculation is correct, the people around Alex need to raise a question mark.
In particular, the man who saved Alex, adopted him, and devoted himself to brainwashing him with the divine scriptures... Father Brown Lang.
After a long silence, Alex nodded: "Father Brown may really know something, but based on my understanding of Father Brown, no one can get what he doesn't want to say."
Answer."
"I'm not sure. After all, the current situation has obviously changed, and he may also become the victim." Angel said.
Angel's words suddenly reminded Alex of what Braun Lang had said to him before: At least, the Kruja Church will be safe under the blessing of God the Father.
The underlying meaning of this sentence is that as long as you stay in Kruja Church, nothing will happen?
Did Brown Lang say this intentionally or unintentionally?
Why?
Alex finally nodded: "If I have a chance, I will try out Father Brunlon's tone."
…
The night dispersed, and a new day ushered in the early morning light.
It was supposed to be a morning full of hope, but because of the murder that occurred last night, the entire town of Gust was completely plunged into gloom.
Gust Town is much larger than Gru Town, with a total population of nearly 10,000 people.
With such a large number of people, generally speaking, if a lot of people die, it will only cause panic for some people; for more people, they may be lucky, or they may not care, and they do not put aside the misfortunes that others have suffered at all.
In the heart.
But there are people dying one after another, and there is no difference in the identity, status, and residence of these deceased people, regardless of their high or low status.
No one dares to confirm whether he will be the lucky one if the serial murderer continues to commit crimes.
Because of this, almost everyone in Gust Town began to become anxious.
However, there are several types of anxious people.
The vast majority of people still need to live even if they are unable to resist, so whatever they should do on a daily basis, they just keep their anxiety in their hearts.
A very small number of people are affected by anxiety in their lives. Some of them stay at home, shivering and dare not move; some of them come to the church to recite sacred scriptures and pray for God the Father's salvation; some of them go to the Sheriff's location to pray for the Knight Guards.
of asylum.
In fact, all of the above are considered good. There are still some people who think they have made a good choice, but they don't know that they have already started to go into the abyss.
Alex stood at the top of the church and looked at the end of the street, where more than a dozen people were walking towards the outskirts of the town with their luggage.
There is no doubt that this group of people chose to leave Gust Town in the hope of staying away to avoid the fate of being killed.
However, they don't know that leaving does not mean hope, but means real despair.
