Evening Bell Church

Walking into the muddy village road of Laihua Village, Su Ge suddenly missed his days on earth. After all, when spring bloomed, his feet would not be covered in mud.

Moo...woof...puff...

The braying of cattle, the barking of dogs, and the snoring of horses came from the yards on both sides of the road, mixed with the voices of people from far and near. In a trance, Su Ge felt that he had returned to his childhood rural home.

"Priest, are you a clergyman?" An old man wearing a black old jazz hat and a rough leather jacket asked tentatively.

Sugar responded with a smile: "Yes, I am a clergyman of the church."

Suddenly, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank God, you are finally here."

People's titles for church people are generally divided into two categories. One is church personnel, which are ordinary church personnel who are responsible for normal church work as well as prayer, sacrifice, baptism, and assistance-related work, just like Ada and Sheryl. They are church personnel.

The other type is what the old man calls clergy. Clergy specifically refers to church personnel who are exposed to mystery and are responsible for mysterious events.

Because they possess extraordinary power and are more likely to have access to the goddess's blessings, they were initially called members of the mysterious church, and were gradually simplified to clergy.

Su Ge asked tentatively: "Are you..."

The old man took off his hat and revealed his gray hair and said, "My name is Martin Richardson, and I am the mayor of Laihua Village. This is the person I applied to the church the day before yesterday."

Hearing this, Su Ge laughed and said, "I'm glad it's you, Mayor Richardson. My name is Su Ge Sotos, and I'm the cleric who came to deal with the small blood bats this time."

Village Chief Richardson was very happy to see the easy-going Su Ge, and enthusiastically invited Su Ge to the middle of the village, specifically for the reception room where he would meet his superiors.

Sitting down, a honest middle-aged woman made a cup of black tea for Su Ge, and the village chief Richardson began to talk about the situation in detail.

"This group of small blood bats suddenly appeared in the woods to the east this year and has already killed two villagers who entered the woods to collect firewood."

Mentioning the two dead people, the old village chief looked sad.

Su Ge asked: "Can you tell me in more detail? The location and number of those blood bats."

The old village chief recalled: "They often appear in the poplar forest on the hillside. There are several corpses of beasts nearby, and they probably gnawed them all away. The number is about thirty, which is the initial number." Now they come to our village every night to suck blood. More than ten villagers have been attacked and injured, and two cows and a horse were killed by these little beasts!”

Su Ge frowned slightly when he heard this and fell into deep thought.

When the old village chief saw Su Ge's look, his heart suddenly tightened: "Mr. Sotos, can this matter be solved?"

Su Ge nodded slightly and said: "The problem is not big. The situation is similar to what I expected. It's just that I have a problem that needs to be confirmed."

"You said."

"Small vampire bats only have a pair of small, hollow teeth for sucking blood. They have no canines or incisors. They cannot eat any tissues of beasts. You just said that there are a lot of bones nearby. What's going on?"

The old village chief thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Oh! Maybe it was eaten by that madman."

"Crazy!?" Su Ge raised his eyebrows.

The old village chief nodded: "About two years ago, a lunatic came to the woods near the village. He was covered in hair, and he ate everything crazily. Although he was irrational, he was very afraid of people. Since he was not threatening, he was The forest felt a lot safer due to his presence, so we didn’t pay much attention.”

"Two years ago? Crazy? Hairy all over your body?" Su Ge grasped the key point of the matter.

The old village chief smiled and said: "In the past two years, he has occasionally seen us. He will run away when he sees us, just like a wild monkey. Sometimes he will kill some wild animals to eat. If we are lucky, we can pick up some behind him. The rest of the meat and fur.”

Hearing this, Su Ge thought quickly: "Does this guy have anything to do with the incident two years ago?"

"Okay, basically I understand everything." Su Ge stood up and prepared to leave.

The old village chief asked: "Can you solve it? Do you need our help?"

"No, just tell me which forest it is." Su Ge said casually.

Such mysterious things are not convenient for ordinary people to see.

Afterwards, Su Ge followed the old village chief's guidance and walked out of the road on the east side of the village, along the winding road to the foot of a hill.

This mountain is not big, it can only be regarded as a dirt bag. The height is only a few tens of meters. The slope is gentle and there are thick trees on it.

The snow on the hillside has not yet melted, but there are many paths trodden by previous people in the middle.

Su Ge casually took out something the size of two fingers, completely black, like a ball of soft meat.

This is the body of a small blood bat, which was given to him by a hunter when he first came out.

Su Ge knelt down and handed the blood bat body to Erha and said, "Come and smell it."

Erha leaned over and moved his dark nose, then sneezed with a look of disgust on his face.

"Haha, I'll give you a pound and a half of beef to eat tonight. Now follow the remaining temperature in the air and help me find them." Su Ge touched him and lowered his head and smiled.

Ouch!

Hearing beef, Erha suddenly became excited, sniffed the air, and ran towards the hillside happily.

Su Ge quickly followed, thinking as he ran: "Two years ago, he went crazy and had hair all over his body. This is definitely not a coincidence. Then who is he? Is he a person from other organizations who survived the attack by the old man with the sickle? Or was he attacked? Crazy church clergy?”

"Anyway, if you encounter him, you should take a look. Judging from the description, he has no sense now and is very afraid of people. He is not very aggressive. Even if I encounter any danger, I still have room to run."

Thinking of this, Su Ge set his mind and prepared to find an opportunity to find the madman.

While thinking, Su Ge had already followed Erha into the woods.

Nowadays, the road on the hillside is relatively easy to walk. Erha did not take any detours and rushed towards the south side of the mountainside with great purpose, following the smell.

Su Ge quickly followed. After running for about five minutes, Su Ge held on to a tree and panted violently. His eyes looked at a depression not far away, a small cave that was only about one meter high.

"Cave dwelling, corrosive saliva corrodes hard materials to form caves, builds nests inside the caves, and stores blood. That should be right!"

Su Ge said, casually taking out the fire talisman from the package, his cane transformed into a sword, and cut the dead branches he picked up into small pieces that were easy to burn.

Use silk thread to tie these small pieces of wood together, inject spiritual energy into the fire talisman and rub it suddenly.

Wow, the wood started to burn. Su Ge quickly ran up with the string of flames and threw them along the hole.

Suddenly, a plume of thick smoke rose into the sky from the entrance of the cave.
