Chapter 169 Eighty-four. Investigator Mock Incident III

  Lu Li: "Continue to step back and open up the distance."

   "You started to step back, and the villagers who kept repeating the same sentence suddenly raised their heads, ran towards you, and roared: 'Become a totem of pain, and live with this ruin forever!'"

   "You pulled away from the monster because you retreated early, but the monster is faster than you, and your distance is shortening, you plan to—"

  Lu Li: "Continue to step back and talk at the same time: Where is your sister."

  Lu Li's initial equipment is an offensive weapon.

   But he seems to have forgotten that he has such a piece of equipment, and his actions are mainly stealth and communication - although it works well.

  Tesla didn't understand Lu Li's behavior, but it didn't affect him continuing the plot.

"Your words touched the crazy villagers. 'Sister...' He murmured these two words, and stopped rushing towards you, the speed became slow, until it stopped. He muttered in a low voice, suddenly like scratching When I got to the rescue straw, I shouted to you: 'Save my sister! She was hidden in the ruins by me, she must still be alive! Please save her!', and your response was—"

  Lu Li: "Ask him why he became like this."

"This seems to have touched the sore spot of the villagers. His expression was extremely painful, and he told the reason why he and his sister came to the ruins: one day, he and his sister heard a call from the depths of the black land at the same time. I know that the depths of the black land are dangerous. But the young he and his sister chose to run into the ruins at noon one day because of curiosity and the constant calling."

"They walked through the stone forest, lingered for a while at the entrance of the ruins, overcame their fear, and walked in. But it was dark inside. When they wanted to leave the ruins, they found that a group of monsters appeared outside at some point. They seemed to come from the mountains, occupying Entrance to the ruins, build a nest."

"In order to avoid the monster, the two brothers and sisters got back into the ruins and lost their way in the dark. After entering the ruins, the calling sound in their minds no longer appeared, and they felt something moving in the ruins. Because of fear, they got into a It's a small room. It's cold, but it's safe. On the damp walls, the condensation of water droplets can prevent them from dying of thirst, but they can't do anything about food. So on the third day, the brother who was about to faint of hunger I decided to leave my sister behind and explore the dangerous and eerie ruins to find food by myself."

"When he left the side room, he still remembered the direction at first, but as time went on, he gradually lost his way. In the dark, he touched the wall and moved forward, and occasionally he felt something brushing by him, or something passing by him. He struggled to keep himself from making a sound. After a few hours, tired and starving, he finally felt the light - he found an exit."

   "Under the steps of the entrance to the ruins, a bonfire was raised, and some meat was roasted on it. The unbearable smell of meat overflowed. To my brother's surprise, there were no monsters around."

"So he rushed down the stone steps, tore off a piece of scalding roast meat that had not been cooked, and devoured it in his mouth, with a vein on his forehead. He remembered that his sister was still waiting for food in the cold ruins, so he tore it from the campfire again. A large piece of meat, trying to turn around and run back into the ruins. At this moment, he stumbled under his feet, his body lost his strength, fell to the ground, and moved away together with his consciousness. The last thing he saw was the dusty rolled out. barbecue."

"When he woke up again, the warmth made him think he was back in the village. But when he opened his eyes, he saw only tall stone forests, eerie ruined buildings, and a dozen monsters beside the fire. For some reason, they didn't They hurt themselves, ignored themselves, and dragged themselves to the campfire. They were sitting by the campfire, murmuring to each other in an obscure voice, as if communicating."

   "He thought he would be eaten as food, until he saw the same scales as monsters emerging from his shadow's calf, and finally realized: he was becoming them."

"Maybe it was because of the food, maybe what the monster did when he was unconscious. It didn't matter, he got up and ran to the ruins. The monsters still ignored him, but when he walked to the stone steps extending to the entrance of the ruins, a The cold and evil consciousness drilled into his mind and reverberated in his mind."

   "The servants are not allowed to step into the master's bedroom!"

"The consciousness said so, and then he found that he couldn't disobey this order. Even if the monster would not hurt him, even if the ruins were close at hand, but he couldn't go in and find his sister. He wanted to leave the stone forest and go to the village. Ask for help, and find that I can't do it either. The monsters can only stay where the black stone pillars are erected."

   "As time passed, his shadow began to grow, becoming like monsters, and no longer just shadows, but had entities. His consciousness began to be lost, lost, assimilated by those monsters, and became like them."

   "In the muddle, all he had left was the obsession of 'rescue his sister and find someone to help', but because his mind was contaminated with evil aura, this obsession turned into a different one - the scene you saw before."

   "Finally, your communication with him awakened a part of his human consciousness, dispelling the evil aura that permeated the depths of his consciousness."

   "After listening to your brother's narration, there was a hint of stunned expression in your eyes, and your eyes were no longer hostile. You updated the 'mission progress (60%/100%), and then you have to-"

  Lu Li: "Ask him why he didn't enter the ruins from other places."

"'I sense that there is some kind of terrifying master in the ruins...existing. Just the slightest leakage of its breath makes my soul shudder. If I force close to the ruins, my soul will collapse...' he said in pain, the monster Hold your head at the same time as yourself."

"'Can you help me, my sister, she must be alive, help me get her out, please...' he begged, his fragile and sad expression leaving you at a loss for what to say. You don't believe this change. The words of the monster guy, but your goal is also in the ruins, it doesn't seem to conflict, you plan to-"

  Lu Li: "Ask about the situation in the ruins and where my sister might be."

  The appreciation in Tesla's eyes became stronger and stronger. It had nothing to do with Lu Li's plan to save people, but that Lu Li knew where to get what he needed.

"'You're willing to help me!? Great I...sorry, I lost my mind earlier so...' he apologized sincerely, then told you everything he knew. You got 'moderate information', and then you want--"

  Lu Li: "Help him, let him help make a noise outside, attract the monsters at the entrance of the ruins to leave, and give me a chance."

  Tesla was slightly stunned at this moment, and gave Lu Li a deep look.

   "You decided to trust this one that has turned into a monster, and wanted to attack your brother not long ago, and let him help you lead away the monster at the entrance of the ruins."
