Restricted area grave keeper

Chapter 347
Although the night was still long, after such a thing happened, no one could still feel sleepy, and all kinds of emotions filled their hearts, rolling like ocean waves.

Li Xiang's body was put down from the door by the crowd and moved into the house. The flames danced and reflected his face extremely brightly. Everyone stared blankly at this scene with sad expressions, as if planning to sink his face deep into the room. heart.

Wu Ziwu softly said "rest in peace", slowly closed the corpse's wide-eyed dark eyes, then tore off a part of his sleeve to cover the huge wound on the corpse's neck, and stood beside the fire for a long time without saying a word , expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking.

The rest of the people stood silently behind him, most of them looked sad. The sadness and anger caused by the death of their companions continued to spread around, making the cold air even more dull.

Some sentimental women even cried, standing aside and secretly wiping away their tears.

Wu Ziwen's face was quite ugly, her nails were deeply buried in her flesh, and she lost her temper rarely: "Can any of you tell me why Li Xiang died at the door?"

——She was asking the first group of people on the night watch.

Normally, everyone should stay in the house on such a dangerous night. However, Li Xiang stood at the door for a long time without saying anything, and no one noticed the abnormality until after his death. This is undoubtedly the negligence of the other night watchmen.

Facing everyone's eyes, the expressions of several people were very ashamed, sad and angry in their hearts, wishing to apologize with death - they had to admit that Li Xiang's death was inseparably related to them, the other party had indeed stood at the door for too long, If they could have gone over to take a look earlier, maybe the other party would not have died.

But at this moment, Dazi with red and swollen eyes suddenly stood up, attracting everyone's attention, and he said in a deep voice, "You can't blame them for this matter, if you want to blame it, you can blame me."

Everyone looked at him together, frowned and said, "What does this have to do with you?"

"At that time, Li Xiang and I went out to use the bathroom. When we came back, he suddenly told me that he wanted to guard the door. I was in a daze at the time, and I passed his words to Xiao Ming and others without thinking about it, and then fell asleep. It's... I should have been the one who noticed something was wrong with him at the time."

The fat man didn't hide anything, he clenched his fist and told the whole story.

Although Li Xiang likes to tease him the most on weekdays, the relationship between the two is actually very good, otherwise the other party would not deliberately follow him out to accompany him to the bathroom because of worries, let alone end up in the current situation.

If one had to find a culprit for Li Xiang's death, then he deserved it.

After hearing what he said, someone's face suddenly became extremely angry: "Damn, you can't even notice such an obvious abnormality..."

"Please calm down for me."

Wu Ziwu stretched out his hand to stop the furious people, looked at the fat man and asked, "Li Xiang said he saw a figure dancing around a dead tree outside...Why did you say such a thing now?"

"Because he said at the time that the shift was about to change, and he planned to wake you up at that time." The fat man said in a depressed mood, "And I heard that he would return to the house when the shift changed, thinking that the time will come soon, So it didn't matter."

It wasn't just him, the other people who were watching the night at that time basically had the same idea. After all, Li Xiang didn't go to other places, but just guarded the door. That was under their noses, so it was impossible for an accident to happen, right?
Unexpectedly, the accident really happened.

Everyone was silent, wanting to get angry but couldn't say anything serious.

In all honesty, Fatty and the others can't be blamed for this matter. After all, it was Li Xiang's own proposal, and he was just guarding the door, only a few steps away from the people in the room. The sleep was very light, but he didn't hear any movement in his sleep, which meant that Li Ying should have died silently.

No one knew how he was hung on that rusty hook, and every time they thought of the scene just now, everyone felt extremely angry.

"Li Xiang won't make such a decision out of nowhere, so there must be some reason."

After a while, Wu Ziwenwen, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said in a deep voice, "The most urgent thing right now is to find out the cause of Li Xiang's death, not to worry about whose responsibility it is. Dazi, apart from seeing something dancing, when you and Li Xiang go to the toilet Have you encountered anything strange?"

The fat man tried his best to recall for a while, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and said in a hurried tone: "I remember that when we came back, Li Xiang was stunned for a while, as if he fell asleep, about five seconds, and after he came back to his senses, He looked a little flustered, I don't know if it was an illusion, I felt that he seemed to be afraid of me at that time..."

Having said this, the fat man slapped himself heavily, his cheeks suddenly swelled up, but he didn't realize it, tears kept streaming from his eyes, and he hugged his head and said angrily, "It's obvious that there is such an obvious abnormality, and the problem is so obvious. Obviously, why didn't I notice then, why!"

"Brother Dazi, calm down."

Zhou Caishi hurried over to hug his arm to prevent him from hurting herself, "Now is not the time to blame yourself, we need to find the murderer and avenge Li Xiang."

"Cai Shi is right, now is not the time to blame myself."

At this moment, Wu Ziwu said calmly, "And everyone, don't forget that the place we are in now is a buffer zone, and there is a B-level restricted zone not far away, that is, if we all die here tomorrow Not surprising, let alone just one person died."

As the leader of the team, he must remain absolutely calm at this time and stabilize everyone's hearts.

Wu Ziwu's words are very cold, but what he expounded is the fact that acting in the buffer zone is a risky thing, and everyone knows this kind of thing.

The fat man turned around abruptly, gritted his teeth and said, "No, I want to go out and have a look. The thing that killed Li Xiang might not be far away!"

Wu Ziwu pressed his shoulder, and the huge mechanical right arm was like iron tongs, he said: "That is the existence that can kill Li Xiang silently, even if you find him, what's the use of finding him, let's see more Got a dead body?"

The fat man struggled a few times, but the strength of the opponent was astonishing, and he couldn't get rid of it at all. He looked ferocious, and suddenly shouted: "Then why don't we do nothing!"

It was the first time that everyone present saw Fatty so furious, they all stared at him blankly, and the room suddenly fell silent.

"What we can do is wait until dawn, and then go out to investigate the situation. Also, now is not the time to yell, you'd better keep your voice down, or you might provoke unknown existence."

Wu Ziwu said calmly, "Of course I also want to find the murderer immediately, and I also want to tear him into pieces, but since you guys called me the boss, then I will be responsible for everyone's lives."

He looked at the fat man who gradually calmed down, and continued: "And you seem to have forgotten that this is a buffer zone. We are just prey most of the time. It is good if we can escape, and there is no room for counterattack."

This is still a cruel fact that has to be admitted, so they want to improve their strength as soon as possible, and for this reason they do not hesitate to move around in the dangerous buffer zone.

Everyone was silent for a long time, and someone suddenly asked: "Um... Could Li Xiang's death be related to the hunter?"

The air stagnates suddenly.

In fact, this is also the question that most people want to know - was it the unknown forbidden creature in the buffer zone that killed Li Xiang, or the hunter who might have followed them?

If it's the former, it's okay, but if it's the latter, it means that they have been under the gaze of a certain existence, and the two parties are in an endless relationship. They must find the whereabouts of the hunter as soon as possible, otherwise they will only be tortured endlessly. hunted down.

"do not know."

Wu Ziwu shook his head, he didn't even see the appearance of the murderer, so how could he make a judgment?But he didn't want the hunter to kill Li Xiang, that was undoubtedly the worst possibility.

But at this moment, Wu Ziwen, who had been thinking for a long time, suddenly said: "I think it should be the hunter's hand."

Everyone's heart trembled, and they all looked at her.

"The other party deliberately killed Li Xiang at the door, let him die silently under our noses, and even hung him there with a hook. It seems to be a malicious provocation. Ordinary forbidden creatures will not To do such a thing, they will just purely kill."

"And I have some impression of the iron hook that pierced Li Xiang's neck - the meat in the restaurant we went to was suspended like this."

When Wu Ziwen was in the restaurant, she happened to pass by the kitchen. At that time, the door of the kitchen was not closed, so she happened to see rows of meat hanging like this inside, using similar hooks.

"Are you sure?" the crowd asked.

"determine."

"how come……"

Hearing this, everyone immediately felt a little unbelievable. Although they had long been prepared to face the hunters, when the day really came, they were still a little at a loss and couldn't help feeling fear in their hearts.

—especially if one of them is already dead.

Besides, it wasn't someone else who died, but Li Xiang, who was a C-level ability user, one of the top five in the team.

Wu Ziwen noticed everyone's expressions, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she sighed slightly and continued, "I have some speculations about Li Xiang's death."

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the fat man hurriedly asked, "What speculation?"

Wu Ziwen didn't show off, and said: "Li Xiang's ability is [Blood Wufeng], he can use his own blood to forge his own long knife, and the continuous replenishment of blood can make the long knife in an unwearable state. With the ability to absorb the blood of the enemy, the blood obtained by the long knife can be fed back to Li Xiang, nourishing the battle with battle, so that he can reach a state similar to infinite physical strength."

Everyone nodded slightly after hearing this. Li Xiang's ability is indeed so. They are partners who share life and death, and they are very clear about each other's ability and Taoism. But having said that, they don't know why Wu Ziwen suddenly mentioned this.

As if seeing everyone's doubts, Wu Ziwen said: "Do you still remember that [Blood Wufeng] is Li Xiang's ability, the long knife transformed from blood is closely connected with his life, and once the long knife disappears, only There are two reasons—one is Li Xiang's active restraint ability, and the other is that his life is stopped."

Everyone was stunned, subconsciously thinking of the long knife that slipped from Li Xiang's corpse not long ago and dissipated, their pupils shrank suddenly.

"You mean... Li Xiang died at that time?"

Fatty was the one who witnessed the disappearance of the long knife at a close distance, so he seemed more shocked than others, "But he had already lost so much blood at that time, logically he should have died long ago, his pupils were dilated, how could that be possible?" Did you die then?"

"That's not clear, but the long knife did disappear at that time."

Wu Ziwen sighed, and said: "As for what you said just now, Li Xiang was briefly sluggish on the way back, and after recovering, he seemed a little afraid of you. Regarding this point, I feel like waking up from a nightmare. Or it looks like it's struggling out of hallucinations."

She is an illusionist herself, so when she heard Fatty's description for the first time, she had such a guess in her heart.

"Illusion..."

The fat man murmured, then slapped himself again, and said with annoyed expression, "Li Xiang was indeed in a daze at the time, why didn't I notice it..."

Wu Ziwu had no time to appease him at this time, looked at Wu Ziwen and asked, "So what do you think about this?"

Everyone also looked at her together.

Wu Ziwen said softly: "I think Li Ying should have died in an illusion. As for why the death of spirit and body are not synchronized, I don't know."

At this moment, Zhou Caishi pondered: "If it is said in this way, then the reason why Li Xiang entered the illusion is because he saw that figure dancing?"

Wu Ziwen was taken aback, she hadn't thought much about it, but from Zhou Caishi's words, it seems that this possibility is really possible...

After all, Fatty is not as good as Li Xiang in terms of strength, and the same is true for willpower. If you want to drag someone into the illusion, you should choose a relatively weak Fatty.

And if it is said that creating an illusion requires the use of a medium, then it seems to make sense, and this is also in line with Wu Ziwu's previous guess - the guy who can use poison for hunting is often not too strong.

That's why the other party needs the help of a medium.

She thought about it for a moment, and told everyone her thoughts, indicating that the hunter might not be as scary as everyone imagined. If the level of illusion can only be released with the help of a medium, then the level may be about the same as hers.

And under such speculation, the hunter seemed to have been lifted the mysterious veil, and suddenly he was no longer such a terrifying existence in everyone's mind, and the gloomy atmosphere was swept away.

However, when they saw Li Xiang's icy corpse again, it seemed as if they were suddenly poured with cold water, and their excitement disappeared.

...Anyway, one person has already died.

"So what do we do next?"

Wu Ziwu said: "As I said before, wait until dawn before going out to investigate. Everyone cheers me up!"

"If it really doesn't work... we can only go to rescue the master."
