At this time, a new reminder appeared in Jiang Tian's field of vision as his thoughts touched him:
"Energy collection completed, repairing...Insufficient energy, body slightly weak (78.3%)"
In an instant, Jiang Tian's originally somewhat relaxed body was suddenly infused with some invisible power, as if he had been electrified. His body and limbs suddenly became tense and powerful, and with his prolonged breathing,
Intermittently, the lung capacity seems to have increased a lot.
Then Jiang Tian touched the side of his head again. The clots and swelling seemed to be still there, but the top-heavy swelling and severe stinging had basically subsided.
This result couldn't help but give him more confidence and motivation. Although the triggering mechanism of this weird thing is not yet understood, it seems that it can be initially confirmed that this is a change that will only occur after certain specific events (targets).
Therefore, he needs more opportunities to try to recover himself, even if he takes some risks for this, he will not hesitate to do so. Is this considered a coma? He couldn't help but ask himself with complicated emotions.
Not long after Jiang Tian continued to move forward with the only lantern that was not badly damaged, the sound of chaotic footsteps was heard again in the distance, and there was the sound of something bumping against the wall and scraping a lot of sand.
Then, Jiang Tian also put the lantern on the ground with a look in his eyes, and once again ducked into a corner of the earth wall, in the shadow where the light could not shine. Because, there was a high probability that the person who came over at this time was an accomplice of the thief.
Then, accompanied by the swaying of the lantern projected on the wall and the faint sound of calling, a long shadow under the dim moonlight also stretched out from the road first.
"Sanpi, Old Hozen, you are finally back... How long do you have to wait for this matter? If you delay Lang Jun's affairs, I will skin you to explain..."
However, Jiang Tian was suddenly overjoyed when he heard this. First of all, this person was obviously an insider and the leader who instigated the first two thieves. Secondly, the other party turned around alone to inquire about the situation, which also meant that he had control of the situation.
Greater probability.
As the sound of tiny footsteps continued to approach, Jiang Tian just thought for a moment and picked up a handful of dry soil from under the peeling wall. He threw it loudly on the wall opposite the short alley, and scattered a lot of it.
The rustling sound of debris rubbing against each other.
I saw someone quickly approaching the lantern while it was shaking. He was rushing towards the wall with a knife and a lantern. The moment he jumped into the air, a brown face with a flat beard and a slightly surprised look was revealed. In an instant, he was caught in Jiang Tian's hands.
The thrower wrapped in a scarf was smashed from behind.
It's a pity that the other party's reaction was unexpectedly alert and quick. He turned his head and let the flying tiles hit his left shoulder, and he immediately cursed angrily;
"What a killer, how dare you sneak attack on us..."
However, Jiang Tian, who was waiting silently in the shadow, seemed to fly up with the sound of wind, and with a "short spear" in his Dantian, he used a move to challenge the bayonet skill, and immediately pushed away the opponent's hand in a hasty and horizontal move.
The lantern he held was among the broken and flying pieces of paper, and it stabbed across the opponent's arm and poked at the exposed waist and eyes;
For a moment, Jiang Tian felt like he was popping a tough blister or a balloon; but the opponent dropped the handle of the knife regardless, covering his waist where he had successfully stabbed him in the back, and screamed in a high-pitched voice;
"Damn...damn..."
The next moment, Jiang Tian threw away his weapon and elbowed him on the side of his face. He suddenly shook his head and hit the wall and passed out. After tying up his hands and feet, Jiang Tian also touched the opponent's mouth and nose again;
Fortunately, his breath was very weak but at least he was still alive. Then he restarted the routine search and identity determination.
Compared with the two skinny "evil boys" before, this thief with a brown face looks much bigger, rounder, and stronger. The clothes he wears are no longer the kind of "half-length" clothes that expose one hand and arm.
Instead, it was a soap gray short shirt that covered the upper part of the body and exposed only the forearms and long crotch.
Some of the inverted nails are not long but have a lot of grease. The lines on the fingertips and knuckles are badly worn. There are also scratches and thick calluses on the horizontal lines of the palm and the index finger.
Coupled with the splatters of blood and grease on the inside of the clothes that were full of fishy smell, it seemed that this was a person who specialized in butchering and used knives frequently.
Then, among the scattered items such as copper coins, sweat towels, and grates found on the other party's body, Jiang Tian unexpectedly found a folded and wrinkled flying money exchange note stamped with the seal "With Five Mins".
It is the quality shop "Xiao Jia Old Store" at Duantan, Shuikou Lane, Xili, Dong City.
It also strengthened his certain thoughts, because this thing is not something that ordinary people can withdraw and use. According to the vague memory of the predecessor, this requires a corresponding identity to guarantee. Perhaps, this is a clue for the future.
But the last thing he discovered made his heart sink. It was a thing made of human hair, with different colors of hair. This was not an ordinary butcher or a street gangster.
things to have.
Afterwards, Jiang Tian poured a handful of dirty water on the other person's face, and slowly woke up with a choking sound. And Jiang Tian unhurriedly wiped a few handfuls of blood on his face, and used
A strange and harsh voice said:
"I ask you an answer. If you answer wrong, you will be punished."
As soon as he finished speaking, he hit the opponent's foot with a stick, and in an instant, brown blood soaked out of the boots, and then he continued to speak with a distorted expression of mourning and pain:
"Who are you? Who are your people? Where have they gone?"
"Damn you dog slave, do you know who you are going against..."
However, the thief held his neck and cursed angrily: Then after seeing Jiang Tian's face clearly, it changed into some kind of strange and ridiculous expression.
"You don't know anything and you dare to chase me? Ah!!!!"
After a while, Jiang Tian could only let go of this guy who didn't know much, because just when he knocked down the opponent's left hand with both feet, he found that this person was so angry that his eyes were slack, and his body gradually became cold and broken.
breath.
Only then did Jiang Tian realize that the wound that had been hastily tied up on his waist had been loosened by his struggle at some point and a large amount of blood was bleeding on the ground. There was no one left to live, but Jiang Tian's heart became heavier and heavier.
and vigilance.
After picking up this crude wooden-handled short knife again, Jiang Tian's vague familiarity and sense of security returned. Although it was a bit too long compared to the dagger fighting of the army, it was still a usable one.
weapons.
It's a pity that the foundation of this body is still a little weak, and the short burst is still barely enough, but it can't last long under the intense action, so it needs to take a good breather and regain its strength.
However, after this delay, when Jiang Tian pursued again, he found that the scattered footprints and petals that were still obvious in front of him disappeared in front of a fork; in front of him were two lanes still shrouded in the dark night, like
It is a den that selects people and devours them.
However, a green text prompt appeared again in his field of vision: "Second stage of mission guidance; energy collection in progress, repair completed, body healthy (100%)."
"Function unlocked: peripheral data collection, second phase of mission "Redemption", target mark completed."
Immediately, a vivid green arrow appeared at the top of Jiang Tian's field of vision, pointing directly to the distance covered by numerous eaves and large shadows.
At this time, the long-lost moon finally broke through the thick cloud cover again, and cast a bright and graceful light on the ground; immediately everything found was covered with a layer of frosty white like a gauze.
At this moment, Jiang Tian's mind suddenly heard a clear and clear voice reading like an auditory hallucination: "By the way, the two little kids Han Shaer and Grete just dropped marks along the way so that they can be found when they come back.
path of……"
"However, all the torn bread was eaten by the rat sparrows. Now, they could no longer find their way back. They could only wander around the forest hungry and thirsty until they encountered a strange house.
The walls and roof of the house are made of a lot of stone honey, glue, and countless nuts and dried preserves."
However, amidst the hallucinations, Jiang Tian followed the signs and pursued a winding alley with a dead end. At the end of the alley, there was only a high, tight wall and nothing else.
He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to gesture and measure the top of the wall, and then jumped a few times, but he was sure that this was not a place that he could easily climb over and pass through. However, the sign that reappeared in his field of vision was still pointing firmly towards the wall.
a certain direction of the surface.
At this time, the mist-like moonlight once again ushered in the thick clouds, and was about to become dim again. Jiang Tian, who was walking around, became a little anxious, but accidentally kicked a stack of empty baskets, and his body suddenly
He paused.
Because this seemingly empty basket seemed to be very heavy and strong, it stayed in place almost unmoved; then Jiang Tian noticed traces of trampling, dragging and moving scattered among the white ash on the ground.
Then he began to pull out the stack of baskets forcefully along the traces, and immediately revealed a gap between the dog hole and the small door that could only allow a person to bend down and pass through.
When Jiang Tian saw the traces of being cut out and polished on the edge of the irregular small door opening, which had obviously existed for a long time. Then he touched out a thread that tore the fabric, and the direction indication suddenly became clear.
, all reaffirmed his determination.
After passing through this small hidden doorway, one is faced with a wild patch of wildly overgrown vegetation that obscures most of the field of vision, as well as a rather vast outline of the courtyard; however, among the waist-high weeds, a trail has been trampled back and forth by people.
Hidden path.
As for the collapsed and desolate buildings in the distance, the exquisite traces of the original pavilions and pavilions can still be seen vaguely; a few large trees growing randomly are like monsters with teeth and claws, threatening the existence of all these creatures.
What a natural scene for a ghost movie; Jiang Tian couldn't help but sigh in his heart. As the moonlight dimmed, the night wind began to become urgent and rustled the grass. He walked softly towards the scene with small steps.
Go towards the dilapidated building in the direction sign.
After all, those he had killed before were just helpers responsible for disposing of corpses and cleaning up the aftermath; the real owner or culprit who caused all this situation has not yet been revealed. 1
This was obviously a half-collapsed abandoned temple. After walking half a circle along the mottled and peeling walls and crooked beams, Jiang Tian finally saw a little bit of swaying firelight, coming from the cracks in the building with cobwebs.
The darkness and gracefulness shine through.
However, the next moment, a black shadow under the corner wall suddenly made Jiang Tian stop his steps suddenly. Because it was a figure curled up in a ball, drooling and smacking its mouth, while still slapping softly.
A snoring man.
He slept so deeply that he could hear clear drumbeat-like snoring through the wall. Then, he naturally turned his neck and fell into a deeper and sweeter dream.
Got it.
"Don't thank me, I wish you a sweet dream that you won't be able to sleep at."
Jiang Tian thought to himself with malicious intent in his heart.
However, the next moment there was the sound of rustling footsteps, and Jiang Tian once again stepped back and hid in the shadow of the building. Then he saw a man in loose clothes and short crotch with two hairy legs walking out from the wall.
Black's face was full of an old and impatient expression.
He stretched out his hand to push the man who was leaning against the wall as if sleeping soundly, but he fell softly to the side. The next moment, a hand was wrapped around his neck to strangle his head, face, mouth and nose, while the other hand used a short knife to stab him.
With a forceful stroke on the side of his neck, the fierce struggles and screams suddenly turned into splashes of blood and futile gurgling bubbles.
Afterwards, Jiang Tian, who had cleaned up the outside, took his place, and stuck to the broken wall to peek inside. It turned out to be a rather cramped and messy abandoned inner hall; among the thick accumulation of dust, weeds and debris,
A small space was cleared.
The first thing that came into view were a few plates of cold food and wine placed on a tattered mat, as well as a few stout figures sitting on the ground in colorful clothes who had taken off their clothes, drinking and eating with their hands;
There is also the faint reflection of the blade reflected by the dim lights.
