The final gentleman

Chapter 91 The Old Man in the Attic (Third Update)

When Jin directly exploded the larvae between the holes,

Yi Chen immediately scanned the surroundings together with Xiao Tao. After a while, it was confirmed that no sick person had arrived, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is the way Kim behaves, and the only way to follow up is to curb her radical behavior as much as possible.

However, it doesn't matter much to scare the snake away like this.

Since the inner area has been severely grayed out, just like the Twilight Clinic, there must be an unknown existence similar to Mr. Li that can monitor the forest. It may even be that every tree here is its spy. 』

"Kim, let's go."

"Yeah! Come on, I can't wait any longer."

No longer restricted by tree walls, Jin walked at the front with her light steps.

However, she would turn around from time to time and glance at Yi Chen behind her, ensuring that the distance between the two would not exceed five meters.

Yi Chen was not disturbed by the golden belt, and moved forward steadily with the help of his sense of plants.

The dark and foggy inner forest makes it easy to lose your way once you speed up or lose focus.

The trees here cannot leave marks. Even if you carve a deep mark with a knife, the trees will be repaired as before within a few minutes.

If there is no reconnaissance gentleman like Yi Chen in the team, it is easy to get lost.

About half an hour of forest walking

Finally, something other than plants appeared in the field of vision - a putrid and moldy road sign with a large number of mushrooms growing on it, and the words Shebolt Village could be vaguely engraved on it.

This street sign is like a dividing line,

After crossing the road sign, there is a paved stone road ahead... Along the direction of the road, through the layers of fog, faint lights can be vaguely seen.

Before long,

A two-story building that is completely out of touch with the times is located on the roadside, leaning towards the medieval style.

Made of stone bricks, it has a gabled roof and an iconic chimney.

No crops or livestock could be seen in the fenced-in backyard, leaving only a pool of foul-smelling black water.

Bright firelight shines through the horizontal wooden lattice windows on the first floor.

The recessed windows embedded in the gabled roof on the second floor also let in weak light, and there was a vague feeling of shadows shaking above.

A small amount of black smoke rises from the chimney mouth,

This is enough to indicate that the interior is inhabited.

"It's a bit strange. This building seems to be standing alone outside the village... The stone road continues to extend, and it should be some distance from the inside of the village.

Like... a sentry tower? "

Jin said nonchalantly: "There's nothing strange about it. You'll know after you go in and take a look."

When Jin stepped forward and was about to walk towards the wooden door on the first floor, Yi Chen immediately took the lead and walked ahead.

Seeing this, Jin just smiled slightly, put his hands in his trouser pockets, deliberately slowed down and walked behind.

She naturally knew what Yi Chen was thinking. She was cautious, rational, and tried to obtain enough information at the beginning of the investigation. Her former teammates were also like this.

However, her tolerance for Yi Chen seems to be much higher.

"Let me see how the first gentleman adopter handles things~"

When entering the house, Jin deliberately kept a certain distance from Yi Chen.

Next, she was not going to take action, but instead acted from the perspective of the [live audience].

Sizzle!

Something long and long was burning in the fireplace. It was completely carbonized and it was impossible to tell what it was.

A large amount of moldy and rotten food was placed on the wooden dining table.

The picture frame hanging on the wall has been torn into pieces, and no valid information can be obtained.

There are also various unwashed tableware in the kitchen.

After checking, it was determined that there was no one on the first floor.

Yi Chen walked up the stairs beside the fireplace to the second-floor attic, making almost no noise during the whole process.

This kind of second-story attic with a gabled roof has a small and restrictive space.

When Yi Chen stepped onto the last step, his steps immediately stopped.

In front of my eyes,

A white candle was burning in the corner of the attic. The flame was weak and might go out at any time.

With the weak firelight, I could barely see the end of the attic facing the stairs.

There was a wooden rocking chair, with an almost bald old man sitting on it.

facing away,

Only the sparse white hair on the old man's head and black spots that looked like death could be seen.

The rocking chair rocked slowly,

Every shake made a slight crunching sound, which seemed quite eerie in a small, dark space like the attic.

When Yi Chen tentatively took a step forward,

The speed of the rocking chair increased slightly, as if it had noticed the young man's arrival.

Jin, who followed him to the attic, leaned on the handrail of the stairs, supported his face with one hand, and watched the show leisurely.

"Hello, is this the village of Shebolt?"

The other party did not respond to Yi Chen's questions at all.

Seeing this, Yi Chen could only continue to carry the suitcase and approach the old man... This process also deliberately slowed down to improve visual accuracy.

"Is that...a cat?" 』

When I walked halfway to the attic, I caught a glimpse of what seemed to be a black cat lying on the old man's legs. Due to the color, it almost blended in with the environment.

The cat was staring at Yi Chen with yellow eyes.

No barking, no movement, just watching quietly.

Yi Chen, who smelled a sense of danger, put one hand on the lock of the suitcase and continued to move closer to the old man.

Creaking and rocking chair

As the distance gets closer, the frequency of the rocking chair becomes faster and faster,

five meters,

four meters,

three meters,

two meters,

The current shaking frequency of rocking chairs has exceeded the normal value, and ordinary people cannot rock so fast even if they try their best.

one meter!

When Yi Chen's leather shoes hit the ground, the high-speed rocking chair suddenly stopped... just like pressing the temporary button on the remote control.

Suddenly,

The old man in the rocking chair suddenly turned his head, his cervical spine twisted 90°, and faced the young man who broke into the house.

This is a face with no facial features and a completely sunken face.

The concave face is directly connected to the esophagus.

There is only a "strange tongue" between the cave-like face.

Black hair grew on the surface of the tongue, extending outwards to the legs... The top of the tongue was actually connected to the black cat on the old man's leg.

to be exact,

Cats are part of the tongue!

Meow! As the old man shook his head violently,

The black cat's tongue was dragged out of the mouth and flicked towards Yi Chen in an instant.

The black cat's body was split vertically from the abdomen, opening a large mouth with fine teeth that could completely bite and attach to a human face (similar to a headhunting crab), pointing directly at Yi Chen's face.

With such a short distance, there was no time to take out the weapon and slash.

The old man deliberately waited for the opponent to get close enough to kill him with one blow!

Seeing that the black cat was less than five centimeters away from Yi Chen's face,

The gloved left hand has already locked onto the headhunting cat in the air.

Green light shines!

Spear-like roots suddenly sprouted from the palm, instantly piercing the black cat's body and nailing it to the ceiling.

Without waiting for any reaction from the old man,

Yi Chen's other hand landed directly on top of his head, his fingers spread out, and spike-like roots sprouted from the tips of his fingers.

"Roots penetrate the skull"

The improvement of intelligence and the blessing of gloves,

There is no need to slowly drill into the skull along the nasal cavity, ears, etc.

Click! The sharp roots directly pierce the skull, allowing for "central tasting" in a living state.

The clearer memory fragments were ingested by Yi Chen, and at the same time they supplied the brain with nutrients.

The old man twitched wildly during this process.

After the taste is completed, the location of the core of the pathogen can be naturally read.

The roots were withdrawn and the fingers released the old man's head.

The palm of his hand came down and landed on the old man's abdomen.

Uh-huh! The roots drilled out of the palm penetrated directly through the abdomen, piercing the pathogenic core within.

The old man and the black cat on the roof quickly fell into a state of rigor, and their bodies quickly withered and turned into mummies.

"Wonderful!"

Jin's applause and cheers immediately came from the stairs.
