Chapter 169: Demacia Border - A Sleepless Night in Jinpo Town
[“How weird.”]
[“Even if Hubbard was killed, there should be bloodstains left. Why is there nothing?”]
[“From this point of view, this is definitely not done by a human!”]
[“Are you crazy? People say it was done by a wizard, but wizards are not human beings?”]
[“.Shit, I didn’t notice.”]
[“Oh, I thought it was some unknown creature. If it’s a human, the terrifying atmosphere I created would be gone in an instant.”]
[“But I don’t understand why mages are regarded as the worst offenders in Demacia. Also, it seems that people here are very afraid of magic.”]
[“Maybe it’s evil magic? It’s similar to evil cultivation, the kind that specializes in refining and absorbing energy from human flesh and blood corpses.”]
["abstract."]
After a while.

The story continues to move forward.

"Although Hubbard's mysterious disappearance caused anxiety and panic in the town, it did not have such a big impact on me."

“I am a former spy who has been to the Freljord and returned to serve the king.”

""Some time ago, I traveled to Shurima and the Blue Flame Islands.""

"So, I can be considered a person who has seen the world and experienced many ups and downs. "

""as far as I know.""

"This town is in the remote countryside west of Demacia."

""so.""

"The most dangerous thing they have seen is the dragon birds hunting after the hatching season, and maybe a tanned bandit."

"I'm different."

"I've seen the dangers out there."

"They probably never dreamed of how dangerous the world is."

"In order to find out the person who started this incident and execute him on the spot."

"I gathered all those who were willing to follow my orders and organized a militia. "

"The arrest plan is also very simple: at dawn, we will all go out of town for patrol, in groups of two, and no one will be left alone."

"Because there are several former soldiers in the team, we are very hopeful and we all think we are good fighters."

“Especially when they say, ‘For the king, for the country, Wow Demacia!’ That’s really inspiring.”

"Just when we were full of confidence and ready to set off. "

""But unexpectedly, something unexpected happened."""

“No one expected that.”

"At dawn,"

""A whole family is gone.""

"Hiss, it comes again!"

"Last time it was just old drunkard Hubbard, this time it's a whole family."

"He committed the crime against the wind and acted cruelly."

"Mage, is it really done by a mage? Why do I feel something is wrong?"

“This sense of the unknown”

"Although it is a hot summer day, I feel the air around me is cool."

"Jinpo Town is located in a remote area west of Demacia. No wonder no one cares about it. It turns out that it is too far from the capital."

"Moreover, it seems that there is not even an army, and the people are asked to organize a militia on their own initiative."

"People? Are you sure?"

"The person who organized the militia is David, the author of this psychological monologue."

"He is not simple!"

"Not only has he been abroad and seen the world, but he also seems to have experienced many ups and downs. Maybe he is the protagonist of this story."

"It looks like him. After all, he appears in all the previous clips."

"So, what happened next?"

"Just keep going!"

The discussion among the audience gradually died down.

At this moment, the big screen suddenly flashed and a new plot emerged.

"In the darkness before dawn."

Looking at the eerie and strange scene before them, the villagers who rushed over after hearing the news all felt their scalps tingling and a chill running down their spines.

The noise and bustle just now were replaced by silence and panic.

The family of five seemed to be swallowed up by the dark night, disappearing without a trace.

All the doors of the house were locked from the inside and the windows were bolted.

But even so.

They just disappeared like that.

The farm outside was in a mess, with corpses of livestock scattered inside and outside the fences, bloodstains all over the place, and the air was filled with the smell of death.

"Two elderly people, a couple, and a child of eight or nine years old, all of them gone, who did this?!"

"Ah, poor Sam, I ran into him yesterday, and he said he wanted to work in my restaurant to earn money to buy milk powder for his child."

"The result..." "In one night, the whole family was killed, even the livestock were not spared!"

"Damn it! That damned dog wizard, you better not be caught by us, otherwise we will skin you alive and eat your flesh!!"

Looking at all this, David sighed silently again. They still underestimated this hateful and cunning invader.

His militia had suffered a defeat before it had even had a chance to show its prowess, which made him feel extremely depressed and ashamed.

When the sky began to turn pale, the mayor called all the villagers to a meeting in the square.

What happened last night.

One pass ten, ten pass a hundred.

Now every household knew about it, and an atmosphere of panic spread throughout the town.

Soon, all the villagers arrived with their families.

Just as everyone was waiting for the mayor to speak, he was seen looking back and forth at the crowd, as if he was counting the number of people.

Ten seconds later, suddenly.

His expression changed slightly, as if he had discovered something wrong, and he asked:

"Where are Kevin and Judy?"

"Has anyone seen them?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an immediate commotion among the crowd. Everyone turned around to look at each other, but did not see them.

These are two young farmhands in the town.

Because I often help farmers during the harvest season every year, I know everyone well.

“It seems that he is not here.”

"Isn't it possible that these two guys are still sleeping in the dormitory? Who can go and call them?"

"Oh my! The town is in such a mess, and you still want to sleep. You are really careless."

"No, I live next door to them. I remember Kevin and Judy were washing up when I came out. There's no reason for them not to come."

The crowd was becoming increasingly agitated.

The mayor also seemed hesitant and unable to make up his mind for a while.

If we send villagers to look for them, it will inevitably affect the centralized meeting. If we don't go, we are afraid that something unexpected will happen to these two people again.

"Mayor, I'm going!"

At this moment, David volunteered to step forward and said, "I'll go call them."

The scene immediately fell silent.

Everyone turned to look at David, their eyes filled with surprise and gratitude.

In their eyes, in this special period when deaths occur every other day, no one would be willing to leave the group and act alone.

This is also what they want to avoid at all costs.

But now, David has stood up bravely, which undoubtedly makes everyone look at him with new eyes.

In fact, most people didn’t know that David had been a spy in the past, and everyone thought he was just an ordinary farmer.

The mayor thought about it and felt that one person would not affect the overall situation, so he nodded in agreement:
"Okay, hurry up and come back."

Row houses on the west side of town.

This is where all the hired farmhands live. It is full of thatched houses lined up in a row and the environment is rather simple.

David jogged over and when he was about to step into the gate, he stopped, wiped the sweat from his head, and took a breath.

As the thin sunlight shone through in the early morning, he suddenly realized how eerily quiet it was here.

It didn't look like anyone was in there.

After resting for a while, he followed his memory and came to the row house of the young farmhands, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.

There was a response from inside the door.

The voice was hoarse and distorted, as if squeezed from deep in the throat.

【We can’t get out.】

David's heart skipped a beat and he called out again, his voice trembling a little.

The voice rang out again, but this time it was clearer, and every word was like a cold blade cutting through the skin.

【.It is alive! 】

That sound again!!
David's scalp exploded.
