This roll of parchment has a sense of age, and the edges are curled up. The records on the front are still very clear, but at the back, the handwriting is getting more and more scrawled. Not only that, large groups of ink stains fell on the parchment, which looks very Dirty and messy.

The owner of the parchment was a bishop, but he was not the original bishop of Jinli Town.He was sent after the death of the previous bishop.He described the church in this remote town as "not as bad as I imagined, but there are too few believers. And there are legends of witches here."

Most of the first half is brief insights and complaints about the difficulties of missionary work.The second half begins with the sentence "My God, so many black cats! Crazy, these people are crazy!".He quickly sent a letter asking for help to the church headquarters, and the church sent many knights and priests over, and began to hunt witches.

"Oh, I know, mere witches can't resist the brilliance of the church! Burn them, burn them! Only fire can wash away their sins!" The long passage from here to the end is the bishop's cheerful declaration.In his description, the witch has been terrified by the church. "But I don't know why, there are fewer and fewer believers. This group of ignorant townspeople!"

Later, the record of the bishop changed again.

"Why? Why?" Rows of messy and forcibly drawn question marks showed the bishop's mood at that time.

"No, no, witches can't beat the church. Those cats, there must be something wrong with those cats. And the broom, burn it, burn it all!"

The bishop's notes were so messy that they required guesswork to decipher, and groups of ink smeared on the paper, like ominous omens.

"Devil——" the magic word was half written, and everything behind it was smeared with ink.

The two of them finished reading the parchment, and Jane said: "The witch hunt, but something went wrong. The church lost? Is it because of the devil?" He passed the words quickly, and then slowly said: "He mentioned cats, Cats are supposed to be a death condition too. And brooms...have you ever seen a broom in town?"

Leng Mo shook his head, and added: "The mayor's family doesn't have any either."

Jian Geng let out a "huh": "It may be burned out, or a ghost may suddenly appear. What do you think of demons?"

Leng Mo: "If the mayor is a real quest NPC, the devil is hiding. If he is fake, the logic of the quest chain will have to be overturned. The record of the bishop repeatedly mentioned that the number of believers is decreasing, which is the problem of witches. Is it their problem?"

Jian Jian thought for a moment: "The witches they killed were the townspeople, so there were fewer and fewer believers. But in this case, it contradicts the mayor's thanks to us for coming to deal with the witches and installing the clock on the clock tower. Etc. Wait, the bell in the bell tower is in the church. If we don't pick up the leaflet and follow the original train of thought, we must find the bell, which means that we will come here no matter what. Is there anything special about this church? "

Leng Mo swept around the church that was leaking everywhere, and Jian Geng followed his gaze to look around too.

Well, even if there were, they were almost destroyed.

The two went out from the church, Leng Mo wanted to go to the mayor's house to search for any clues, Jian Zhen was hungry and wanted to eat.

When passing by the entrance of the town, he saw He Chen eating bread with a bowl of milk oatmeal, and Yu Ye beside him was stirring the oatmeal left in the pot.

Jian Geng: "Isn't it too shabby? No one will believe that this is food from a nightmare-level door."

He Chen rolled his eyes at him: "I brought it with me, I will definitely not go to the mayor now, and I advise you not to go either."

Jane asked, "What's wrong?"

He Chen snorted while drinking the cereal, and said inarticulately: "One is dead, one is crazy."

Jian Geng looked at Yu Ye: "Is there any specific explanation?"

Yu Ye said to Jian Geng: "The younger sister of the pair of brothers and sisters died, and her brother ran out madly, saying 'cat go away' while running. Speaking of which, didn't you meet him? The direction is also going towards you direction."

Jian Geng shook his head, but he really didn't touch it.

He Chen finished sucking his cereal, and smacked his mouth: "You guys should go as soon as possible, I think it's safer during the day than at night."

-------------------------------------------

The town is very quiet, this kind of quiet is not peaceful and quiet, on the contrary, it gives people a creepy and depressing feeling.It seems that in the next second, horrible creatures will come out from any corner you can't imagine.

Jian Geng hugged the two cocks tightly, and the cocks were strangled by him and stretched their necks.Leng Mo patted his hand and rescued the cock that was about to suffocate from his hand.

The two walked under the bell tower, Leng Mo's expression changed slightly, Jian Geng sniffled and asked, "Is there any smell?"

"The smell of blood." Leng Mo stretched out his hand and kicked it up with force.

"Oh—" Jian Jia didn't even have time to call him: "Brother, you should squeak before you move next time."

Leng Mo climbed to the top of the building with two swishes, and when he glanced inside, his perennially cold face showed a rare surprise.

I saw a human-shaped bloodstain lying on the roof of the building, and the bloodstain was slowly disappearing.One bite at a time, it seemed to be swallowed by many creatures.Leng Mo's gaze moved from the bloodstains to the inner wall of the bell tower opposite. On the mottled wall, black shadows could vaguely distinguish pointed ears and raised tails. These black shadows overlapped together, like a group of swarming for food s cat.

"Meow-"

A long and thin meow sounded from behind Leng Mo, Leng Mo turned his head abruptly, and there were three deep marks on the outer wall of the clock tower.

Leng Mo quickly climbed down, followed by the invisible black cat.Just as Jian Geng was about to touch the cross, she heard a sound from behind her——

"Meow."

Jian Geng's current position is facing the outer wall of the clock tower, with his back facing the mayor's house.

He didn't turn back immediately, but stared at the growing black shadow on the outer wall.It was elongated, with very thin limbs, as was the head.Like a living skeleton.It's getting bigger and closer.

Jian Geng even saw its upper and lower jaws open above his head, and the protruding fangs almost touched his head.

The cloth bag containing the rooster that he put at his feet seemed to be held down by something, so that the rooster couldn't make a sound.

Jian Geng held the cross in her palm and slowly raised her hand.

The huge skeleton opened its mouth to the maximum, and the second it was about to close, Jian Geng turned around suddenly.The cross glowed white, and the cat skeleton with some rotten flesh howled as if it was in pain, and turned its head away.

Leng Mo on the bell tower had already descended to a height of more than one floor, he let go of his hand and jumped straight down.Rolling in a circle, after losing the momentum, Leng Mo took the lead in rushing towards the visible cat skeleton with a dagger.

Jian Geng didn't know what Leng Mo's dagger was, but he swore that it was definitely the sharpest dagger he had ever seen.So far, he has seen this dagger plunge into rocks, metal, and cut through witches' robes, and now, it has also split an entire cat.

The bones fell from the cat's body, and within a dozen seconds at most, the whole cat was broken into pieces.

Jian Geng sighed, "Awesome—ah."

The last word "ah" should have been an interjection expressing admiration, but now it was exclaimed.Leng Mo pulled him from the side, and Jian Geng couldn't stand still and fell to the ground.

Turning around, he saw a bloody flower blooming on Leng Mo's left hand, and the dagger in his right hand accurately plunged into the back of the invisible enemy's head through the path of the attack.

Jian Geng heard a more mournful meow.Then it was quiet again.The wind blows through the bushes and trees, and also blows away the clouds. The crowing of the rooster, the rustling of the leaves of the plants appear together with the light golden sunlight.The whole space seemed to warm up.

Leng Mo put away the dagger and walked to Jian Geng's side, saying, "Something's not right up there, I—"

"Wait a minute." Jian Geng interrupted him: "I think you may need some first aid, don't worry, I also brought a bag this time, I just bought it, fresh."

He looked at Leng Mo's hand that was still bleeding, but the owner of the hand didn't seem to care.Can't help but change the subject.Jian Geng didn't know how Leng Mo had dealt with his injuries before, the situation in the last "door" was urgent, and there was no condition to stop for a bandage, but this time he was free.The little monster is dead, and there is no boss haunting for the time being, Jian Geng can't bear to see him let the wound bleed.He opened his medical bag, and took out alcohol gauze and other tools: "Hold out your hand, where is your magic spray? Take it out too."

The opponent's hand was warm, and the temperature of the palm suddenly occupied the forefront of Leng Mo's thoughts.When he regained consciousness, his injured left hand had been held in Jian Jia's hand, his sleeve was torn open, and the cold alcohol touched the wound, and the stinging pain made his mind clearer.

He knew what happened to the blood splattered very low on the ground. Church personnel were chased by unknown monsters in the bell tower, and their escape route was blocked. They could not get out and could only flee upwards. Lock the door with chains and hang a cross.I thought I had resisted the witch's pursuit, but I didn't want to fall into another death ending.Countless black cats ate them up, leaving no flesh or bones, only a bit of blood staining the lower half of the wall, where the cats could reach with a shake of their head when they bit the flesh.

Leng Mo quickly finished scrutinizing the traces on the top of the bell tower, and involuntarily, his attention was taken away by Jian Geng's handling of the wound.

His movements are not proficient at all. When rubbing alcohol, lightly and heavily, it is too slow to wipe the position.Leng Mo had to adjust his position to facilitate his handling.He kept moving his hands, and kept muttering: "Where did you get bitten by a cat? You were drilled four holes by a drilling machine, right? I'll go, brother, why does this blood stop? ? Are you poisoned, bleeding more than that?"

Seeing his tangled expression, Leng Mo withdrew his hand, took out the hemostatic powder from his first aid kit, sprinkled it on the wound, took out the bandage, and tied it up for himself.

Jian Jian: "...You seem to dislike my dressing skills."

"No." Leng Mo quickly denied.He didn't give Jian Geng a chance to continue talking, and told Jian Geng about the situation on the bell tower and his speculation.

After hearing this, Jian Geng first looked up at the not-so-hot sun, then pointed to the regular entrance under the clock tower, and said: "According to this speculation, the monster in the clock tower is the probability of a witch or a witch's manipulator." It's very high. And witches can't appear in the sun, so let's hang the clock tower to dry while the sun is still there?"

Leng Mo glanced at Jian Jia with some surprise, it didn't seem like he would make a suggestion.

Jian Geng knew what he was thinking, raised the corners of her mouth, and said to Leng Mo very frankly: "I will go up sooner or later, and I don't know how to climb walls. Of course, I should find out and deal with it early while the sun is still there." No doubt, according to the urine nature of the "door", after they discover the truth step by step and find the weakness of the witches, the weather will give you a huge "surprise". moon.At that time, he will be pushed by the task chain to run into the clock tower again, and there is no limit to the appearance of monsters. Who can cry in this situation?

Leng Mo thought for a moment, and agreed to Jian Geng's plan.

Behind the mayor's house, a short man with a cloak detoured two ways and hurried out of the town.

Leng Mo turned his head slightly, Jian Geng saw this and asked, "What's wrong?"

Leng Mo said: "There is someone."

"Huh?" Jian Geng looked confused, "Where is someone?"

Leng Mo pointed to a general direction: "This route is going out."

Jian Geng was stunned: "How do you know? Are you not a front row combat sequence?" Leng Mo's position was facing the mayor's house, so could it be that he heard the movement?

Leng Mo narrowed his eyes and did not answer Jian Geng's question.When he raised his eyes again, his eyes flicked past Jian Jia, and stopped on the lock of the bell tower door: "You stay away, I opened the door."

-------------------------------------

The entrance of the town, next to the sign of Jinli Town.

With his hands in his pockets, He Chen looked at a man and a woman in front of him, with a relaxed expression and a natural tone: "Both of you? What are you doing?"

The woman with big curly hair and bright red lips is none other than Zhao Lingmei.The man was tall and thin, with a little mustache, and a square metal bag on his back, which looked like a machine.

Zhao Lingmei didn't speak immediately, she snapped her fingers, and a pinch of flames danced on his fingertips.

When He Chen saw the flame, the smile on his mouth deepened a little: "What is this for? Is there anything you can't talk about? Of course, if you really dislike the trouble of talking, that's fine. That's right, you have to be careful where you step."

"Be careful." The tall and thin man suddenly changed his face, and stretched out his hand to pull Zhao Lingmei.The astonishment on the latter's face was just revealed, followed by the ground sinking.

The ground shook slightly, and the smoke and dust billowed.

As soon as Yu Ye stuck his head out in the tent, He Chen stuffed him back: "My lord has something to say, children, don't come out."

Yi walked through the smoke and dust from the bright yellow flame and went straight to He Chen's face, who stood there, motionless.When the flame approached one meter in front of He Chen, it seemed to be blocked by a transparent wall, and it couldn't move forward no matter what.

He Chen flicked the folds on his clothes: "Tsk, why don't you behave well?"

The story background of this "door" made him not very interested in playing with this woman.He Chen said dejectedly: "I don't know where you guys are going, and I'm not interested in knowing. But, don't look for me. Don't look for my children here either. If you can understand people's words, go by yourself. If you don't understand, I'll send you a Procedure."

His voice was quiet and his expression was not fierce.But Zhao Lingmei and the tall and thin man, who fell into the pit for no reason, were stunned for no reason.

This man is not easy to mess with.

Zhao Lingmei's chest heaved. She misestimated the strength of this businessman.The calculation of the healing potion was in vain.But it doesn't matter, the other party's mission is different from theirs.As a survivor who was upgraded in the "gate", Zhao Lingmei thinks she has the upper hand than the latter ones.You have more information at your fingertips.

The other side is the camp of the church, and they are the camp of the townspeople.The church camp's largest defensive building, the church, has been demolished, and no one can withstand the attack of the witch boss.

As long as they are all dead, the props on their bodies will naturally drop.

Zhao Lingmei took a few deep breaths and forced herself to calm down.The tall and thin man looked at her, and the two climbed out of the pit, turned and left.

He Chen pushed his glasses, and said to himself: "I won't go to Jian Geng, will I? He has a bad temper."

-------------------------------------------

Jian Geng, who had a bad temper, is very irritable now.

Because of the broken door on the clock tower, in addition to the lock, it also has an inner latch!

Under Leng Mo's sharp dagger, what are chains?Isn't it just a matter of breaking it?But when Jian Geng found a place and squatted down, holding the blackened cross in his hand, trying to squeeze out the last trace of residual heat from it, Leng Mo unexpectedly didn't open the door.

Not only Jian Geng, but also Leng Mo himself was stunned for a rare moment.He reached for the door, but didn't pull it.After a couple of probes, I discovered that there was an inner latch in the door.The embarrassing thing was that his dagger was too short, and when inserted into the crack of the door, it couldn't reach the latch.

Leng Mo stood in front of the door thinking, Jian Geng waited left and right, finally couldn't wait, ran over to have a look, heh, the latch.

Are you angry?

"I suspect that the last batch of people who ran in had some brain problems. Why did they lock the door? Why?" Jian Geng stared at the door, her cheeks bulging like an angry puffer fish.

Leng Mo pressed his hand on the door, as if confirming the position of the latch.After a while, he said to Jian Jia, "Stay to the side."

Jane: "What else can you do?"

"Bang—" With a blunt sound, Leng Mo told Jian Geng with his actions, what else could he do to open the door.Leng Mo's dagger had a blade length of 15 centimeters, and his dagger could not reach the latch, which meant that the iron-clad wood door was at least 15 centimeters thick.Now, under Leng Mo's kick, this heavy door collapsed into a hole.There is a gap of a few centimeters in the position of the latch.

Leng Mo took two steps back, he seemed dissatisfied with the effect of his kick, he adjusted his posture, as if he needed to make another kick.

Jian Geng's voice was choked in his throat, with such strength, even Jian Geng believed that he was the boss.

Leng Mo kicked the latch with two feet. I don't know whether it was the power of the sun or Leng Mo's ferocity of kicking the door that scared the monsters in the bell tower. There was silence behind the opened door.

Leng Mo took out a light stick and walked in first. "Boss, wait for me." Jian Geng followed in a hurry. When passing by the door, she saw that the iron latch had changed shape, and the broken latch buckle flew a few steps away.

Jian Geng swallowed, this was the murder weapon.

The two roosters were released from the cloth bag by Jane Gentiana, tied a rope around their necks, and held them in their hands.After entering the bell tower, the flapping rooster turned its head from side to side, trying to crow or not.This made Jian Geng's spirit tense up even more.

When entering the door, on the ground floor of the clock tower, the sun can still shine a little inside.After going up to the second floor, the light immediately dimmed.

Jian Geng was a little nervous: "Let's talk for a while, okay? I say you can just listen."

Leng Mo: "..."

Jian Jian: "Shut up if you didn't hear me, I'll take it as if you agreed." He said without stopping at all: "Let's discuss Zhao Lingmei. What do you think she wants to do?"

Leng Mo: "..." After a while, he said, "I don't know."

Jian Geng: "Then do you think her fire element is strong?"

Leng Mo: "It's okay."

Jane: "Then you—"

"Then why didn't you just ask me?" A voice sounded from above Jian Geng's head, and Zhao Lingmei's face hung upside down from the ceiling.

Without raising her head, Jian Geng blurted out a scream.

Leng Mo reacted quickly, the saber flew out, and the shadow with Zhao Lingmei's face disappeared in an instant.

Jian Geng subconsciously reached out and grabbed Leng Mo's clothes corner, and asked in a changed voice, "Is it a human or a ghost?"

Leng Mo: "Not human."

There are no windows in the bell tower, relying on the brightness of fluorescent sticks, the lighting distance and clarity are limited, just now the shadow was going upstairs, and Leng Mo followed quickly, Jian Jia did not dare to let go, so he could only follow with a bitter face go up.

"They actually went in?" Someone's voice came from the door on the bottom floor of the bell tower.After the old man finished speaking, another young voice said, "I didn't expect them to open the lock so quickly. What should I do now? The witch itself will never appear during the day."

"It's okay." The female voice, which was different from the two male voices, spoke after a while: "They can't find the witch during the day. And they don't have a clock, so they can't complete the task. It's useless to progress fast."

"Then let's go back to the mayor's house and have something to eat. We'll take the witch to the church to resolve her grievances at night. After these church knights fail, the mission should be over."

"Is that so? I always feel a little strange." The younger voice was full of doubts: "We have explored a lot of clues, but why are there still no props?"

"Because you misunderstood." On the stairs on the second floor, Jian Geng led the chicken and said condescendingly.

"What?" The short boy in the cloak said in surprise, "You?" He clearly heard the two of them going upstairs.

When Jian Geng spoke, Leng Mo had already approached the three of them.

Jian Geng smiled and said, "It's already here, don't go away? I still want to ask a few questions."
