Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 692

   "Don't think about..."

  唰——

The   hunting knife slashed into the mud wall, and four fingers of different lengths fell, bouncing and rolling away.

The    woman's face turned pale, and a suppressed scream overflowed from the depths of her throat.

   "You can continue, so can I." Using the tip of the knife to lift the woman's jaw, Elena whispered frantically.

   Her character changed after the tragic death of her friend. More indifferent and more aggressive.

The    woman stared at Elena resentfully and cursed: "You will suffer far more than me!"

   Elena didn't respond, just cut off another finger.

   She whispered indifferently: "I can still cut this arm twenty times, and then another one, you still have legs..."

   The fear in her heart broke through the numb body, and the woman finally told Elena what happened in the village.

   A villager picked up a statue in the wilderness a week ago. Before long, he claimed that the statue would protect the village from invasion, while granting them the power to "feel no pain" at the cost of feeding them the living statue.

  But the food in the village is limited, and the villagers are also dulled by the power of the statue. They feed old and useless people first to the statues, then passers-by.

   "Is numbness counts as strength?" Elena, who saw her essence clearly, sneered.

   "The Lord...protected...we..." The woman didn't think so.

   "You mean the 'statue' that killed more people than weird?" Elena looked like a fool.

  The woman was silent.

   When Elena was about to let go of the useless woman, she suddenly said intermittently: "If you don't feed it...it won't be changed by power..."

   "The Unwilling to Feed...and Travelers...kept by it...they...live..."

After the    voice fell, the woman broke free of Elena, clasped her palms with both hands, and put the hunting knife on her neck.

  Elena wanted to pull back, but was slow. Blood gushed out from the woman's neck like a river. Elena's cheeks dripped with warm blood, and she watched her fall with a complicated expression. Her eyes looked at the pile of children's clothes in the corner of the wall, which was unprecedentedly clear.

   At the last moment of her life, the woman's consciousness regained consciousness.

"my child……"

   There was a vague murmur in the sound of the water, and the woman in the pool of blood lost her voice.

   Elena's arm holding the hunting knife dropped, silent.

  Lu Li came to his side and covered the woman's body with a blanket.

   Elena hasn't been silent for too long, she still has her own business to do. Pulling away from the woman's story, Elena went to the window to look outside.

The    melee is over. The dirt road from the outskirts of the village to the campfire was littered with corpses. There are villagers, and there are hyenas.

   Twenty hyenas bowed their heads and bit the feeding, symbolizing the beast’s final victory.

The    Faith Statue did not give the villagers the power to fight the beasts, nor did they appear to protect the villagers.

   Maybe because the attackers were beasts and not weird?

   Luli lit the fuel lamp to deal with the darkness of night. Elena was still watching from the window.

   Paradoxical laughter echoed in the night sky, and the eating hyenas turned their heads to look at the blind corner of the hut, and then dragged the corpses of humans and companions out of the town, like soldiers cleaning the battlefield.

   "The hyenas are abnormal, wait a minute."

   Elena said to Lu Li who walked aside.

   The bonfire was blazing vigorously, dispelling the cold and dark night.

   The strange fog has not yet shrouded here.

   "Are you always so cold-blooded?"

   Elena's eyes fell on the illusory reflection on the window: "I thought you would help those villagers outside."

   "I will do what I can and what I should do." Lu Li replied calmly.

   Conversation with Lu Li is obviously not pleasant. Usually two emotionally intelligent people get along well because they know when to ask what and how to answer.

   Elena, who wanted to talk about it, hoped that Lu Li could also ask herself, but he didn't.

   "It's alright." Elena, who had a colder tone, pushed the door and walked out of the hut.

   Lu Li followed behind.

  The village is not big. They circled the bonfire and found the villagers and travelers **** at the edge of the light.

   "Pigsty?"

   Elena was a little surprised to see the environment they were in.

  Luri looked around and landed in the dark barn beside him.

  The outer walls of the barn are decorated with garlands of woven hay and look like a humble church.

The    statue should be inside.

   Elena had climbed over the fence and stepped into the dry but still smelly pigpen.

   "We are here to save you." She said to the people who were restless and frightened by the approaching footsteps.

   Their eyes were blindfolded, their mouths gagged, and their limbs bound. Elena swung a hunting knife and slashed one of the men's ropes.

  The rescued took off the eye patch and the filler in his mouth, and said in a dry voice: "Thank you...I'm-"

   "Go and untie them." Elena wasn't going to waste time listening to them introduce herself.

   "Okay, okay..." The rescued hurriedly responded and went to help the other victims untie the hemp rope.

   Those who were rescued helped others, and more and more were rescued. They did not know what had happened before, and they still suppressed their movements and did not dare to make any movements. Only emotions called joy and excitement appeared on their faces.

   Elena saw Mayor Abdel in the crowd and walked towards him.

   "Is it Elena?" The old man with bare chest squinted at her.

   "It's me, Mayor Abdel." Elena replied, introducing Lu Li to him: "That's the exorcist, Lu Li."

   Many eyes fell on Lu Li with gratitude. They thought that Lu Li was here to save them.

   "Thank you for your help." Mayor Abdel put his hand on his chest, saluted Lu Li, raised his head and asked Elena, "Has that monster been destroyed?"

   "No," Elena said.

   Village Chief Abdel's expression became nervous, and the relief of the rescued people also froze with the words.

   "Did you sneak in?" Abdel Village Chief looked at the dazzling bonfire.

   "No, they're all dead," Elena said.

"died……?"

   "Well, maybe a few are still alive."

  There should be some villagers in the house like the woman when the hyenas attacked.

   Village Chief Abdel's lips trembled, wanting to blame but unable to say: "It's you..."

   "The hyena just attacked here." Elena interrupted and replied.

   "No wonder their calls are so close..." The village chief of Abdel breathed a sigh of relief.

  Even if you are betrayed... the mouth of the beast that once killed the villagers is easier to accept than being killed by people.

   "What is the statue." Lu Li, who was quietly observing, said at this time.

   "Mr. Exorcist."

   Village Chief Abdel saluted respectfully, and was about to say something when Elena interrupted again.

   "You guys are going to keep talking in the dirty pigsty next to the monster?" Elena put the hunting knife back into the holster on her thigh. "Let's go back to the campfire."

  The rescued people turned out of the pigsty and returned to the warm and bright campfire.

  Some young men go to search villages, looking for clothes, food, water, and villagers.

   Village Chief Abdel sat down in front of the bonfire and told Lu Li what had happened to them.
