Chapter 694 The Strange Mark That Disappeared

insect?

Why can insects be so loud?

Kyogoku frowned, not daring to move his body, carefully listening to the movement outside the tent.

buzz buzz
buzzing.
hum - hum
The insect's chirping sound seemed to have a special rhythm that contained some meaning, and it didn't sound messy or continuous.

If you are human, you should speak human language.

But these voices are neither human language nor sounds that human beings can make.

What the hell is it?
Kyogoku tried his best to keep his head calm, but his heart still couldn't help but tense up.

Although he is an excellent warrior, warriors have always been known for their strong physical and mental qualities.

But that is for a known enemy, a face-to-face enemy, just like a karate contest, Kyogoku is often facing an opponent with a known name and a known rank.

Rather than some unknown abnormal existence.

At this moment, even if there is a gunman aiming at the enemy in his head, Kyogoku really will not produce more dopamine in his brain than it does now.

Because the oldest and strongest fear of mankind comes from the unknown.

What exactly is that?
It should be a person, right?
After calmly thinking for a while, Kyogoku still attributed the strange sound outside to known things.

After all, there were dogs barking at the beginning, and it was humans who generally acted with dogs.

Maybe these people have discovered the tent here and want to scare themselves in the tent?
At this moment, the voice outside the tent suddenly fell silent.

Kyogoku swallowed the saliva in his mouth, mustered up his energy, and moved his stiff upper body slightly.

Ears resting on the tent, the abnormal noises outside have indeed disappeared, leaving only the still whistling wind and snow.

At this moment, Jingji really felt that the sound of the severe cold wind and snow was more than [-] times more pleasing to the ear than the unknown sound just now.

have they gone?
But why didn't I hear the sound of leaving?
Are you still out there?
As a seasoned warrior, Kyogoku is still very vigilant.

A common plot in horror movies is that the character thinks that the threat outside has gone, and he is relieved. When he is about to go out to check, he finds a big scary face looking at him.

In order to avoid being killed in the face, Kyogoku secretly rubbed a snowball in the tent and held it in his hand.

Although the snowball held by the glove is very loose, it shatters when it hits the body.

But Kyogoku is really holding the snowball with the temperature of the palm. The inside of the snowball is as solid as possible, and the outside of the snowball is melted into an ice shell with body temperature.

If this kind of snowball hits a vulnerable part of the body, it is not much worse than a stone.

Before stepping out of the tent, Kyogoku worked out a series of tactics.

If the opponent is five meters away, you can hit the opponent's head with a snowball first, and then rush to subdue the opponent with karate.

If it is within five meters, I don't need a snowball, I can directly subdue the opponent with karate.

Although there are rumors in the world, seven meters away, the gun is fast.

But in fact, at the speed of human beings, it is actually six meters away, and the gun is fast.

In addition, it is a windy and snowy day, and the snow is not conducive to running, so Kyogoku really reduced this distance by one meter.

Although I don't know who is pretending to be a ghost outside, but let's talk about it first.

After the snowball was solid enough, Kyogoku tidied up his equipment and got ready to start in front of the zipper of the tent.

After taking a deep breath, Kyogoku, who was highly concentrated, pulled the zipper away with lightning speed, and at the same time rushed out of the tent at full speed.

The moment I rushed out of the tent, my body felt the wind chill outside.

Regardless of the sudden drop in the surrounding temperature, Kyogoku quickly looked around and searched for targets.

But looking around, the protrusions on the snow are not only trees, but also big rocks next to them.

Kyogoku held the snowball tightly and ran around the stone again, but still found nothing.

"Ok?"

Kyogoku was really puzzled, he obviously didn't hear the sound of leaving, but the strange thing that made the sound disappeared.

Kyogoku circled around the stone twice again, until the snowball in his hand melted and was no longer lethal, and he didn't see any abnormalities within the visible range.

Undeterred, Kyogoku took out the lighter from his pocket again, looked for footprints on the other side of the stone, and finally found some clues.

There are indeed some footprints on the edge of the stone, but the types of imprints are a bit messy.

The footprints of a dog can be seen. Judging from the size of the footprints, it belongs to a medium-sized dog.

In addition, there are human footprints, which can be seen as two human beings.

There is also a line of drag marks about 40cm, which came from a place outside the field of vision.

Next to this line of dragging traces, there is also a string of strange marks that resemble insect pincers, but are 20 cm long.

These strange snow marks all suddenly disappeared near the big rock, without any trace of moving to other places.

"What the hell is this."

Holding the lighter in his hand, Kyogoku really shuddered.

Judging from the human footprints, it was two humans who made the sound just now, and it was very likely that they were the two hunters they met during the day.

But why does the hunter make that strange "buzzing" sound?

There are also drag marks and pincer marks next to it.
Why did these imprints suddenly disappear at the side of the stone?

Kyogoku cast a suspicious look at the big stone in front of him.

Caressing the surface of the big stone, the cold stone does not have the slightest temperature, and the uneven feeling is not very good.

Suddenly, Kyogoku put away the lighter in his hand, and assumed a karate charging posture.

"Oh--"

After the growl lasted for two seconds, Kyogoku's right leg popped out like lightning, and kicked firmly in the middle of the boulder.

bang——

"呲"

After a muffled sound, the boulder didn't move at all. On the contrary, his hamstring hurt a little, which made Jingji really stunned.

After all, it is a big stone with a diameter of three meters, and its weight of dozens of tons is no joke.

But Kyogoku is also sure that there is no secret door or the like on the surface of the stone, otherwise he should be able to kick it open.

But why did it disappear?
Now, the only possibility Kyogoku can really think of is that this group of people walked back along their own footsteps.

Where will it go?
Kyogoku really thought about it carefully, and suddenly thought of the villa.

The only place to stay nearby is Chuidu Villa, and they can only go back to the villa in this kind of weather.

These people made strange noises, dragged something unknown, and their footprints were also strange
Kyogoku stared, and immediately thought of Suzuki Sonoko who was still in the villa.

Although I don't know what the purpose of this group of people is, they are very strange and may be bad for Sonoko.

Thinking of this, Kyogoku, who was eager to protect his wife, really didn't care to pack the tent, turned around and ran towards Fudu Villa.

　Thanks for the reward from Lemon Flavor!
