Gloomy and heavy sky.
This was Lan En’s first impression when he squeezed out of the carriage.
Yanan is a city built in the mountains, and the weather in the mountains is changeable. The weather may be completely different once you reach the top of the mountain. This is normal.
But although the sunshine in the sky in Yanan is a bit turbid and the colors are darker, it just makes people feel bad.
And this small fishing village
The witcher looked up, sniffed and took a breath.
Damp and gloomy.
It was so humid that it was like taking a breath and filling the lungs with moisture. I even felt that my hair had begun to become damp and stuck to my skin.
It was so dark that no sunlight could be seen.
Based on the time, we should still be able to see the sunset now, but the dark clouds in the sky were thick and stagnant, as if it was already dark.
And it is the kind of dark night that is suppressed so low that it makes people breathless.
The two horses pulling the carriage did not neigh or move their hooves. They just stood still after stopping, panting occasionally.
A layer of cold mist spread on the ground.
There were several carriages parked here and there in the parking area.
It seems that this is where the hunters get off the bus.
"You're late, Maria." A hunter wearing a cowboy hat said emotionlessly from the driver's seat on the roof of a four-wheel carriage. "It's half a day late."
The huntress who got out of the car behind Lan En looked up.
"You were left to look at the car?" Maria asked casually at first, as if she knew the hunter, and then continued. "I temporarily found a powerful hunter, which wasted time."
"Just in time, there are people in my car, can you help take care of them?"
Where is the seat? The hunter on the roof of the car said nothing. He just rubbed his leather-gloved palms on his weapons, making a rustling sound of leather and steel.
Due to the angle, Lan En could not see clearly what the weapon in his hand looked like.
Maria lifted up her windbreaker, took out a blood collection bottle from her inner pocket, and threw it up to the hunter.
After the hunter received it, he finally showed his expression. An expression of obsession, desire, and impatience.
"I will, Maria."
The hunter responded after getting the blood collection bottle.
"I'm so unlucky. So unlucky. Why do I have to stay? I can't smell the blood, and I can't tear open the prey's flesh with my own hands. Let the blood spill on me. I'm so unlucky. , Maria."
He kept chattering in a low voice like he was talking in his sleep.
But Maria had already taken the lead and walked away.
For the hunters of Yanan, this kind of muttering that seems completely abnormal to ordinary people is actually consideredIt's normal.
So Lan En and Maria didn’t think much about it.
"I'll be back soon." Maria greeted more worriedly, "I'll give you another bottle then."
"Yes, yes ." The hunter on the roof of the car pressed the cowboy hat on his head and said solemnly, "You'd better hurry up."
The two of them continued walking inside.
They soon understood why the hunters' carriages were parked so far away.
As we continue to move towards the small fishing village, the ground is no longer suitable for transportation.
The sound of the soles of shoes stepping on the water, and the sound of footsteps disturbing the water flow were heard one after another.
The ground here has been completely submerged underwater, it is simply a swamp.
Lan lived for a period of time in a fishing village, Oriden of Willen.
But even in a fishing village, the human living environment should be as dry as possible amidst the humidity. Otherwise, who can stand it?
As for the environment of this small fishing village, even before entering the outskirts of the village, it no longer looks like a place where people can live.
It’s hard to imagine how humid the environment will be further inside.
Soon, Lan En raised his head slightly, his nose twitching.
He smelled a smell coming from afar.
The charred wood is also mixed with the stench of marine life and beasts
The sky is dim, and the seawater swamps under your feet are also dark, making people look towards it. Even from a distance, one cannot tell the difference between heaven and earth.
Everything seemed to be in a haze of chaos.
Subsequently, Lan En and Maria discovered the body on the way forward.
It was a corpse lying in the muddy water. It was roughly human-shaped, but not like a human being.
The skin on the whole body is blue-gray, showing a smooth texture like a marine creature. There are webs between the fingers and toes, and there are even fins on the joints.
However, he still has a human face.
"This kind of scar is" Lan En squatted down, looked at the hideous gash on the belly of the corpse, and said thoughtfully.
"It's a critical attack on the internal organs." Maria felt relieved in her calmness. "Sure enough, here are all mutated, irrational monsters!"
The wounds that were clearly visible were the fingers that were stabbed into the body, and then pulled and pulled hard to cause large lacerations.
Lan En was thoughtful just now, not because he could not understand the wounds caused by [visceral critical attack], but because
the 'thing' that was killed was indeed There are no human figures anymore.
But is he really an 'irrational' monster?
The smooth touch came from the fingers wearing gauntlets, and Lan En slightly raised the other party's head lying in the muddy water.
And on that face that still has a human face, there is strong emotion.
DeathAt the last moment, the tiny muscles under the skin of his face formed a tiny expression before they stiffened.
Anger, pain, disbelief.
Lan's ability to control emotions, as well as Mentos's analysis ability based on computing power, can accurately receive these emotions. arrive.
The creature that can make such an expression is not the same concept as the 'lycanthrope patient' that the Yannan people are accustomed to.
But the witcher turned his head and looked at Maria in a half-crouched posture.
"Let's go." Lan En said, standing up at the same time.
It wasn’t raining, but the excessive moisture in the air still condensed many small water droplets on the waterproof oil layer of his cloak, even on his eyebrows.
"The sooner the better!"
Because Lan En knew that the lucky huntress could no longer observe the calmness of the 'monster's' expression before his death.
And now, they were so close to the ocean, but Lan En did not hear or feel any sea breeze or rolling waves.
There should be wind at the beach, and there should be waves when there is wind.
But the sound in the environment today is so silent, it’s like.
It’s like the ocean is ‘dead’!
This strange silence made Lan En feel uneasy.
This is the deepest and most dangerous nightmare that even an old hunter like Simon has forgotten how many times he died. Is its deepest secret really so easy to find?
Now, Lan En has found the key point where clues converge, but even if he finds this key point, will this secret really be so easy to solve?
The witcher doesn’t know.
But in Yanan, the development of things will not stop just because you say ‘I don’t know’.
How could the dreams of the ancient gods consider mortals?
The closer we get to the small fishing village, the deeper the water on the ground becomes, and now it can reach the top of our feet.
And Lan En and Maria were within the scope of the small fishing village.
This small fishing village is eerie and dark.
Most of its buildings are made of wood and masonry, but how could wood survive in such a humid environment for so long?
Many of the wood has become moldy and rotten, but many barnacles that should live on the rocks in the sea and on the surface of marine organisms are densely clinging to these houses.
It’s like the barnacles that should have been eroding and clinging inward are now supporting the structure of the house.
The opening of the barnacle is like a bunch of densely packed eyeballs.
There are also things like seaweed hanging on it.
It makes people wonder whether these houses are built in the sea or on land.
Being in a small fishing village, you can actually see the sun amidst the heavy clouds. But the sun's rays
have no temperature and cannot be dissipated.install.
The clouds and mist around the sun surround it. The shape of the clouds and mist is very strange, like fungi that surround, spread and erode towards the center of the sun.
The large shiny disc is covered with spots.
"What on earth is that?"
Maria also looked at the sun in the sky in shock. Obviously, even the native Yannan people had never seen this scene.
Lan En thought he was ignorant.
They continued to walk inside, and the dark water under their feet was gradually mixed with gray-white traces.
That’s a lot, a lot of gray blood!
The smell of burnt wood and the fishy smell of marine life suddenly became strong, and blood-red firelight came from the decaying and weird house.
The house was burned to pieces and collapsed under the flames.
And there were also the sounds of sharp blades tearing flesh, as well as human laughter.
That was a group of hunters hunting in front of a burning house.
They are besieging a huge fish-man. This fish-man is at least five or six meters tall, and the weird weapon in its hand is as big as a man!
Every time it swings its weapon, its huge weight and kinetic energy can directly tear a house apart!
But under the siege of three hunters, it was like a tuna being opened and bled with one blade after another.
It is very strong, but in the face of those precise and sharp knives, just being strong is useless.
The hunters didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill, they seemed more like they wanted to drain the blood of the huge creature in front of them while exercising.
