Soul echo

Chapter 74
It seems that since the day he met Zhong Ye, he has never stopped exercising.

Every morning, after logging in to the game, Lilian would find that her game character was exercising with Zhong Ye in the morning. When she was free, the audience who had been waiting for a long time in the live broadcast room would record this morning exercise.

——Perhaps because "Echo of Soul" is too real, people are less and less likely to regard the "aboriginal people" in the game as ordinary NPCs.

Lilian got up late today, and when she logged into the game, the morning exercise had already ended, and she could only tell from the sweat on her body that hadn't completely subsided and the exhaustion of her muscles that she had indeed done her morning exercise today.

When Lilian logged into the game, they were having breakfast, and the lackluster bread was constantly being chewed in their mouths. Fortunately, "Echo of Soul" can turn off the sense of taste, otherwise many people would not be able to get used to the diet of this era.

After breakfast, they set off.

There are many beautiful scenery during the journey. On the earth, you can only see them on the Internet and in nature reserves, but in "Echo of Soul", you can feel this primitiveness and nature in person...

However, most of the time traveling is boring.

The repeated scenery, the calm journey, the surprise and joy are short-lived, and the haste and monotony are the long-term existence.

If it wasn't for Zhong Ye's company, Lilian felt that she would be quite bored.

When she thought that Zhong Ye had been traveling alone before, it was hard for her to imagine how he could endure such loneliness and solitude?
At noon, if it was according to the original schedule, they should have stopped to rest, but when Lilian finished her lunch and went online, she found that they were still running on the road.

Then in a blink of an eye, I found that a town appeared in front of me.

Not only was Lilian's spirit lifted, but the audience in the live broadcast room also cheered.

That boring and monotonous journey was also a kind of torture for them, but they wanted to see Zhong Ye again.

Now that the wilderness journey is finally over, it probably won't be so boring anymore... probably!
After a few days of practice and practical operation, Lilian could sit on the horse safely, at least she would no longer worry about the running of the pack horse.

Although she would still feel tense and confused if she was allowed to control it by herself, there was no problem riding on a horse.

When he was about to approach the small town, Zhong Ye slowed down, and the pack horse that had been following behind him also slowed down.

Looking at the town not far away, Zhong Ye frowned slightly, and ordered: "Something is wrong, please keep quiet for a while."

—— [The straight-line distance is already more than 100 meters, right?Is Zhong Ye so strong? 】

——【Is this something that ordinary people can do? 】

——【Could it be that Zhong Ye is an 'extraordinary'? 】

Lilian blinked her eyes, turned her head to look at Zhong Ye.

Just ask if you get a chance...

Zhong Ye took the rein and walked slowly towards the small town.

After the perception attribute reached [-] points, his perception ability was greatly enhanced, and the world was very different from then on.

He didn't hear any movement in the town, but his intuition told him that there seemed to be something dangerous in the town.

Even he can feel the danger now, which shows that the things in that town are really dangerous.

As he approached the town, Zhong Ye observed the reaction of the pack horse. However, until entering the town, the pack horse didn't respond.

All towns are similar, either by mountains, by water, or both.

At present, this town is a typical mountain-surrounded by mountains, and the only remaining side is the exit of the town. On the hillside of a mountain, there is a church.

The distance was too far, and Zhong Ye couldn't see which god that church belonged to.

There is no castle or similar buildings in the town. It looks like a town developed from a village.

The pace of life in the town seems to be very slow. Walking on the streets, Zhong Ye didn't see too many industrial products, and people's attitude towards adventurers was not very good. If it wasn't for Zhong Ye's [Affinity Physique], he might have Received some cold stares.

There is only one hotel in the town, and the owner doesn't seem to be very motivated. Considering people's attitude towards them, there should be few outsiders in this town.

With a flick of Zhong Ye's finger, the silver coin crossed a beautiful parabola and landed in front of the hotel owner.

The boss's eyes were firmly attracted by the constantly shaking silver coins on the table, and it took a moment for him to react with a jolt, and hurried forward to hold down the silver coins.

Then he looked up at the hotel door, and saw a tall figure that blocked the light at the door. He swallowed, and managed to hold up a smile, "Please, please, do you want to..."

Zhong Ye gave a thumbs up and pointed backwards, "Open two rooms, take care of my horse by the way, and then ask for some news."

Hearing this, the hotel owner got up quickly, stuffed the silver coins into his pocket, took out the rag, wiped the tables and chairs for Zhong Ye, invited them in, turned around and went out, leading the horse to the backyard.

After Lilian followed Zhong Ye into the hotel, she sat on a chair and looked at the hotel curiously.

Dilapidated and dirty, the walls in many places have peeled off, and there are still mildew spots in the corners. It seems that they were remodeled from residential houses. From the outside, they are not much different from other houses in the town.

She and Zhong Ye waited for a while before the hotel owner returned to the hotel lobby, but he looked a little more embarrassed than before.

Glancing at the two luggage placed by Zhong Ye's feet, the hotel owner pulled over a chair, sat down in front of Zhong Ye, and carefully asked: "Just now, the guest said that you want to inquire about some news, hehe, I dare Guaranteed, in this town, no one else has more information than me! I don't know what you want... to ask?"

He winked at Zhong Ye, showing a look that 'all men understand'.

With arms folded, Zhong Ye, who was sitting upright on the chair, leaned forward slightly. From the perspective of the hotel owner who was a head shorter than him, it seemed as if he was pressing on him, and his upper body couldn't help but lean back.

Zhong Ye raised the corners of his lips and lowered his voice: "There should be some long-standing stories in this town, right? Tell me?"

The hotel owner sat awkwardly on a chair and swallowed.

He hesitated obviously, and asked with some doubts: "Could it be...you are the legendary 'demon hunter'?"

witcher...

Ordinary people should not know the existence of demon hunters. Zhong Ye once heard from Amos that demon hunters always act in secret and rarely appear in front of normal people. Many people regard them as a It is a kind of legend, like the pseudo-myths such as 'Jupiter', the god of thunder, 'Nepton', the god of the sea, and the three goddesses of fate.

——How can there be people in the world who don't seek fame or profit, just to kill demons?

It's okay to have one or two, but there are a group of such people?
That is impossible!

"I heard it from my grandfather. I always thought that your existence was a fantasy..."

After thinking that Zhong Ye was a 'demon hunter', the hotel owner obviously relaxed a lot, and began to talk endlessly: "If you talk about the legends in the town, there are many, such as girls on street corners, endless alleys , the sound of knocking on the window at night, these stories have been circulating in the town for decades, but I have never seen them with my own eyes, nor have others, and none of the people I have known since childhood have disappeared or died because of these things.

"Of course, since you have come here, it means that our town may really have something that can endanger us. If we talk about this..."

The hotel owner thought for a while, and suddenly realized, "Probably that's the one—the beautiful widow who comes to abduct children every autumn. There are indeed children who disappeared in the town. He stayed on the street after dark, but he also disappeared.

"I was very young then, and I was often warned by my parents and neighbors, so I remember it very well.

"—Children under the age of 14, every autumn, before night falls, you must return home, otherwise a widow who has lost her child will come to the door of the house, block the door, and take you away."

The danger he felt, was this?

Listening to the hotel owner's words, Zhong Ye narrowed his eyes.
