Welcome, please remember the address of this site: , mobile phone reading, so that you can read the latest chapter of the novel "Devil Sage" at any time...

Departing at noon, it was almost dusk when we arrived at Hongya Town.

Although it is near Demingham, it is only a rural town. The road conditions in the second half are not good, and it was a rainstorm week a while ago. Although the wind and rain here is not as violent as Demingham, it must have been affected.

It was bumpy all the way, and the situation only improved when it was near the town.

"Why are there so many people at the gate of the town, is there any holiday today?"

Stephanie looked out the window and saw the frequent traffic of ox and horse carriages outside the town, and most of the carriages had various objects on them.

It was almost evening, and it was no wonder Stephanie thought they were going to have a holiday party.

"Look carefully. There are bedding on those wooden carts, and some hard wheat bread in the basket. What kind of party has to bring bedding to attend?"

Donald looked at the ox cart passing by outside the window, glanced at the things loaded behind him, turned his head and said to Stephanie.

"Really? Then why did they do it?"

This question is obviously what Pence wants to ask earlier.

"It's very simple. Gather the masses to reduce casualties. It can also be simply called holding a group for warmth. This method is a bit stupid, but it has to be said that it is a good method. The population of rural towns is often scattered, and they have their own land and ponds. Or in the forest farm where they usually hunt and chop firewood, undead creatures may have attacked some residents in the periphery. They are isolated and helpless. Once they are approached by undead creatures, the chance of surviving is very small. The result of the undead beings is that they force themselves into some corners and corners, let the undead be slaughtered, and the government gathers people, just hoping to at least protect this town with limited strength, stop first, I want to go down and see Look."

Donald explained in great detail that this is the conclusion that he deliberately collected a large amount of intelligence in a short period of time through agile thinking.

More than just the debris on the car board, Donald also saw the incessant sadness on the faces of the people passing by and some facial expressions with the corners of their mouths down and frowns in their conversations. How could such an emotional state be a good thing, and now What's the worst thing about Redcliffe?

Isn't that what they're about to deal with?

If it is Borglo Campbell or Anthony, he may only say the first half of the sentence, because these two people's minds can quickly think of these contents, but Stephanie and Burns are not necessarily.

It's not that they are stupid, but if they have to say it, their thinking speed really can't keep up with Donald, who has turned on his agile thinking.

His eyes swept across their faces pretending to be inadvertent, and what he saw was thinking and some surprised expressions. Donald knew that his forward thinking this time had achieved good results. Burns and Stephanie should have an impression of him. To add a clever tag.

And that was his real purpose.

Most people have emotions like jealousy and admiration for people who are smarter than themselves, and these emotions, if manipulated properly, can turn them into another kind of emotion that Donald wants—conviction.

The premise is that you have to make the other party think you are smarter, that you are more, faster and more accurate than they think.

This kind of feeling does not depend on a word or two or a slap in the sleeves, and it is enough to let go of the tyrannical spirit. It has to rely on practical actions to subtly make his image deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Thankfully Donald does have that talent.

Pence pulled over to a nearby road, and Horn Shelley, who was ahead, noticed their action and also chose to pull over to the side of the road.

Two cars that are rare in this kind of rural town stopped outside the town entrance, which naturally attracted the attention of several nearby police officers who maintained order. Susannah took the previous document bag and documents to meet him, and Horn Shelley was there. Looking at the situation around him, he seemed to be thinking about something.

Donald glanced at the looming moon in the sky and the sunset that had mostly sunk into the mountains in the distance, and took a few steps closer to Horn Shelley.

"Captain Shelley, I think the people here should be on the front line of the case. I want to ask them about their situation and collect first-hand information."

The person who should ask for instructions has to ask for instructions. Donald doesn't want to leave people with the image of making his own decisions and acting without authorization.

"Okay, bring two more people. I'll go to the police station and act together. At 7 o'clock, the police station will meet."

Horn Shelley looked much more normal after leaving Demingham, and responded skillfully to Donald's call for action.

I couldn't see the frivolous appearance of the drunk and the **** yesterday.

Donald watched as he left, then turned back to Stephanie and Burns.

"Let's act together and ask the surrounding people what happened in Hongya Town recently. How about it? You don't need to ask the undead creatures for the question. You can ask if there are any suspicious people, strange things that happened, etc. ."

The three of us followed me instead of the two of you. Donald tried his best to create a team atmosphere. Stephanie didn't need to say more, and immediately took out the notes from the backpack. Donald was more attentive. on Pence.

"I don't mind, just don't let me stay with that guy and do whatever."

Burns still had a big opinion on Horn Shelley, and Donald thought that this might be an opportunity, and deliberately got closer to Stephanie when he dispersed to ask.

"Go and ask Burns about Horn Shelley later, pay attention to cooperation, and you have this, your talent is not a combat type, right? This inscription scroll is a level 2 inscription, ice trap , if you encounter danger, you can use it directly by tearing it off, you can place a trigger trap anywhere, or you can detonate it yourself."

Donald handed the inscription scroll to Stephanie and said in a low voice.

"Thank you, but I have no money"

"I know, this is my investment in you. The mission this time is obviously a combat mission. I don't want the companion I just approved to die in the mission, understand? If anyone asks, just say it's you and me. Bought, the price of this inscription is 5 gold pounds."

The previous wolfhound inscription had a special ability, so it could be sold at a high price in the sea market. The other level 2 inscriptions were naturally cheaper, but 5 gold pounds was actually an investigator's salary for more than half a month.

To win people over, words and actions are part of it, and Xiaoen and Xiaohui are naturally indispensable. Donald gave Stephanie a level 2 inscription for free. On the one hand, he really didn’t want Stephanie to have an accident. Judging from the previous situation, she obviously Being a novice, if the first task fails, Donald has spent so much effort in the past.

On the other hand, this kind of private, single-purpose giving will make the other person feel valued, which is a good way to bring the relationship closer.

"Okay, I see, Donald, thank you!"

Stephanie clenched the inscription scroll tightly and put it in her pocket. In order to facilitate the movement, the investigators basically wear trench coats, regardless of gender.

Of course, women's are naturally more self-cultivation.

"Hello, we are investigators from Demingham. We are here to help you solve your problem. Can you tell me what happened recently?"

Donald found a well-dressed man, obviously with a certain level of education, such a person would be much easier to communicate with.

"Investigators from Demingham? Oh, you guys are so timely. Monsters. Outside the town of Redcliffe, probably in that area, monsters appeared. They rushed into Dex's house and Cannes' house. They killed a lot of people. Cruel, I saw the dead body, you know, that scene"

Knowing that it was the person who came to help, the person in front of him was a little emotional. He had been to the scene of the murder, which made him still pale when he recalled it. He took out a cigarette from his arms, lit one for himself, and handed it to Donald, who waved his hand in rejection.

The two moved their conversation to a nearby tree, just beside the road. There was a wide dirt road behind Donald. The trees on both sides were obviously trimmed, and the crown of the tree crossed about three meters above the road. Together.

The setting sun casts a lot of red light spots on the ground, and there are naturally shadows from the branches. It should have been a peaceful scene, but now it is a bit noisy because of the crowd.

"Relax, sir, please stay calm, I'm not trying to remind you of those bad scenes, what I'm asking is is there anything weird going on in town lately? It's okay outside town, you know, something It doesn't happen by accident."

Looking back, Donald touched the stubble on his chin and pointed his finger to his side, signaling Finger not to run around.

"Strange thing? The strangest thing I think is the appearance of these monsters."

"No, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Before this, I mean what happened before these monsters appeared, maybe some strange phenomenon, maybe one or several strange people."

When a major event happens, many details are often overlooked. For example, when we watch the juice of egg waffles poured on the iron plate, we naturally do not use it when making these milkshake-like liquids. Material.

Donald tried to guide the other party to recall the situation some time ago.

"Sorry, I don't know. I live outside the town. I usually only come to town when I need to buy things."

"It's okay, so have you seen this kind of thing? This one in this picture."

Donald turned the book "Expel the Evil" to the page where the demon cage was recorded, and asked, pointing to the printed picture on it.

"I've seen this before, in a forest outside the town, in the southeast direction, my wife and I have seen it when walking or collecting firewood, and she even mentioned it to me specifically, saying that it was to see A tall fat man hangs these wooden cages on a tree."

Unexpected news harvest.
