"That's the breath of the devil. They haven't had too much contact with the devil, so they can't feel it." Liana explained to Arthur.

After speaking, he pointed at the scarecrows on the plain outside the window, "Look at those scarecrows, what can you feel?"

"Well, I don't feel anything. It's just an ordinary scarecrow." Katie thought for a while and replied.

Including Colson, Poppy, John and Anna all thought the same way, only Megan had a different view from them.

"Those scarecrows are looking at us. I have noticed it before, but I just thought it was my illusion." Megan frowned and said to Liana.

Megan and Liana are both old people who have been on missions all year round, so they are particularly careful in observing the things around them, especially the eyes around them looking at them. However, how can you think that those on the plains are ordinary? scarecrow.

So Meghan never said anything. Now that Liana has brought it up, Meghan has expressed her feelings directly.

Liana nodded to Megan, then turned to look at Arthur. He wanted to see if Arthur had noticed anything. After all, the core of this team was still Arthur. Liana said that there was no dissatisfaction. That's all false.

So she wanted to use this matter to test Arthur's ability. If it was very bad, she would not hesitate to ask Charles to withdraw from the team after she went back. She didn't want to bring a group of weak novices to them. Be a nanny.

"There's nothing, it's normal, just a few ordinary scarecrows." Arthur shrugged and spread his hands and said, "The only difference from scarecrows in other places is that there is too much dirt on them."

Arthur smiled at Liana, and when he saw Arthur smiling at him, Liana also gave him a sweet smile. As for whether it was sweet or not, Arthur didn't know, but in short, a good-looking girl treated people like As long as your smile is not too ugly.

As for the specific dirt on the scarecrow, Arthur believed that Liana would know. It would be better not to tell the others, otherwise it would be difficult for them to spend the night in the village tonight, and no one could bear to be surrounded by corpses. Stay overnight.

There were too many red threads wrapped around those scarecrows, especially the ones close to the ground. It was obvious that people had died in this area, or there were corpses buried underground. Of course, Arthur guessed that the corpses were used as fertilizer.

After all, the rice fields on this plain are growing very well. If there are no major disasters in the future, this village will definitely have another good harvest this year.

Thinking of this, Arthur asked Coulson, "Is this village a good harvest year every year?"

"how do you know"

Colson was a little surprised. He took out his right hand that was holding the steering wheel, took out a document bag from the briefcase beside him and threw it to Arthur. He originally planned to show it to Arthur and the others after arriving in the village.

"Our people have investigated from nearby entities and the government. This village has a bumper harvest every year in orchards, aquatic products, or rice. The output far exceeds the sum of all other nearby villages combined."

After listening to Colson's words, Arthur flipped through the documents in the portfolio, looked at them roughly, and handed them to Liana.

"Then no one has any doubts. Logically speaking, a lot of people must have moved into a village with such a high output. The village cannot be so small." Arthur asked Colson.

"Yes, someone has investigated before, but nothing came of it." Colson shook his head and sighed, "As for the person who wanted to move in, he would mysteriously disappear three months later, and even the body could not be found. Time After a long time, even the villagers who originally lived in other nearby villages moved away.”

Arthur raised his left hand and smiled and said to Colson, "Let me guess, then the police went and disappeared."

"That's not true. It's probably because I don't want anything big to happen, so there aren't that many missing people. The average number of missing people that can be traced per year is only about ten, which is much lower than the death rate in a city, so There are still many uninformed people going to that village.”

Arthur had heard of a survey before, which said that about four newborns are born every second on the earth, and about two people die. Judging from this, the mortality rate in that village is still very low.

Therefore, there has not been any big bad reputation. Government personnel sometimes go out of their way to help conceal some things for the sake of political performance. Coulson will understand this even if he doesn't say it. In this case, there will be many uninformed people because of the government Came to this village due to publicity.

At least judging from the amount of blood-red threads underground, there are at least thousands of corpses underground. I don’t know when these corpses started to accumulate. In short, the earlier the time, the more corpses there are. .

After reading the document and passing it to the next person, Liana thought for a while and said to Arthur and Colson, "I have heard of a story. The general content of the story is that a certain existence has a god who protects the harvest, and this All the god needs is for the people in the village to provide him with human sacrifices, which can ensure that the whole village has good weather and good harvests throughout the year."

"I seem to have heard that they will sacrifice passers-by, but it seems to be women who only want to be clean, and it seems that the god looks like a scarecrow," Megan interjected after thinking for a while.

And Megan was stunned after she finished saying this, because she thought of those scarecrows on the plain, and it all seemed exactly the same as that story.

"The appearance is just a substitute. Unless they are powerful demons, other low-level demons are invisible to everyone except the summoner. They can only borrow things to allow them to move." Liana told Megan explained.

After listening to Liana's explanation, Katie raised her hand and interrupted, "It's like the ghosts in those horror stories possessing dolls."

"Well, more or less, it's all the same. It's either possessed by a person or an object that can move. Generally speaking, only the Scarecrow and those puppets are good choices." Liana nodded and said.

Demons come to the world as a spiritual body, which is equivalent to the human soul. Unless they are extremely powerful demons, they can shape their bodies at will, and the weak ones can only choose a certain item as a carrier.

Otherwise, they would not be able to survive in this world for too long in their spiritual state, and since they have come to reality, they cannot be willing to find an immovable carrier as a carrier, so the best choice is humans, but once they possess humans, it will be very difficult. It is easy to detect, so most people will choose dead objects.
