Chapter 253 Investigation
The next day, the three of them stayed up all night. Leng Yue Clay, Ren and the other three walked on the streets of the town and found that a depressing atmosphere on the streets enveloped the entire town.They went to the local police station hoping to get some clues.

They were greeted by a young policeman who looked nervous and overwhelmed.

"Hello, we are members of the Special Investigation Team. Do you have any information that can help us?" Lengyue Clay asked.

The policeman suddenly became nervous when he saw Lengyue Clay's serious face. He bit his lip and took a while before he answered.

"I'm sorry, I don't know. The residents here are very mysterious. They hardly accept outsiders, and they are not allowed to go out at night. However, we just received a murder case and found three corpses."

"Corpse?" Ren asked.

"Three people were attacked last night. They were dead when they were found in the morning. They had been attacked before they were alive."

The young policeman took out three photos. The three of them took one look at them and immediately looked away, because those three people were the people they knocked out with their alternate identities last night. They were professionals and absolutely impossible to kill, but now they are dead. And it seems like they are the murderers.

The three of them looked at each other, dismissed the little policeman and left the police station.

The three left in disbelief that they had become murderers.

"How did they die? They were still fine when they were knocked unconscious?" Clay said.

"We are in trouble. We have to find the truth as soon as possible, otherwise we will be the ones who are caught," Ren said.

"Then let's collect information first and talk about it later."

Although the relationship between the three people can solve the suspicion, this undoubtedly makes the originally complicated matter more complicated.

The three of them wandered around the town, but found that they couldn't find any valuable information. In the evening, the three of them came to the tavern.

Entering the tavern, they found that the inside was dim and the people seemed not to talk much. Even the bartender gave them an indifferent attitude.

Suddenly, a scream came from the corner of the tavern.The three people quickly noticed and jumped over, finding that an old man had been kidnapped.

So, Lengyue Clay, Ren and the other three hurriedly chased out, hoping to find clues.

The three of them chased but did not realize that the sky had become very dark. A figure was dragging an old man surprisingly fast. The three of them were stunned for a long time and did not catch up. They had already chased a distance out of the town before the other party stopped. .

The figure put down the old man and became taller. Although it was still carrying them, the strong sense of oppression made them suffocate.

In the darkness, the other party turned around and rushed towards the three of them. "Be careful, this guy is not normal." Leng Yue frowned and said in warning.

As the figure approached, the three of them ran back frantically. This was no longer a human being, but a monster whose skin was stuffed with straw.

"Damn, this thing must be C-level!" Ren complained as he took out his gun and shot the monster behind him, but the monster was unharmed and continued to chase him.

"Scarecrows are afraid of fire!" Clay said.

"Of course I know, where does the fire come from now?" Ren asked.

"Then use containment!"

Leng Yue took out a short knife like a boning knife from his clothes and rushed towards the chasing monster. He cut off the monster's arm in one glance. The monster waved its hand, and the next moment the other hand fell.

Leng Yue discovered that the opponent had no fighting skills at all, and feeling the strangeness in his body, Leng Yue chopped off the scarecrow's head without hesitation. Leng Yue looked at the scarecrow's face with a complicated expression, and she seemed to have seen a glimmer of relief just now.

Leng Yue had no time to think and quickly dropped the knife in her hand. Her hand was already full of blood, the knife was stained red, and the blood groove was also covered with blood.

Clay and Renne ran back and watched the Scarecrow put away the knife after being dealt with.

I was a little surprised to see that the scarecrow had turned into a real one. It seemed that they had overestimated it.

The three people ignored them and came to the abducted old man. The old man sat on the ground and looked at the three people, his eyes full of sadness and numbness.

The old man slowly said: "I know what you want, I can tell you, as long as you kill me." "Kill you?"

"I want to go and be with my son, I've had enough of everything."

The old man looked at the scarecrow in the distance and began to talk to himself.

"A few years ago, this was a poor village that relied on growing wheat. But one day, the black wheat appeared. That changed. We started to make money with the black wheat. We did make money, but for a long time, rye was not practical. It also changed us, we began to lose our feelings, and we could only maintain our feelings by constantly eating rye, which is the devil's drug."

The old man cursed, and the three of them instantly understood why the faces of the residents here were numb.

"But why do you kill people and feed them to the rye fields?" Clay asked.

The expression on the old man's face also became strange, as if he was talking to himself, but also seemed to be mocking himself: "Since you asked, you should have seen that the wheat is alive, killing people is just to make the wheat grow, otherwise where would it come from?" So much rye to sell.”

Leng Yue, Clay and Ren were shocked and frightened after hearing this. It turned out that this town had started a few years ago.

"Then which monster should be your son, and how did it become like this?"

"This place is cursed. The rye field is not a gift, it is a curse. It will destroy everything, destroy it." The old man's eyes protruded and his body twisted, and something seemed to be protruding under his skin.

The next moment, the old man's head fell to the ground. The bottom of the old man's head was filled with black straw instead of flesh and blood.

Ren threw the knife to Clay, and his hands were covered with blood: "Now that we know, what should we do?"

"Tell the headquarters?"

"Could it be that all the residents in the town have turned into monsters?" Clay looked at the old man's body on the ground and asked.

The three of them were silent. I'm afraid the situation in the town was probably the same.

"But how did the three villagers die last night? How could they be killed so easily since they were monsters?"

The three of them seemed to have reached a certain impasse, with a bunch of problems that could not be solved at all.

In the rye field, they saw that the villagers had eaten the wheat crazily and were completely unresponsive. They were still eating the wheat as if they were possessed. They were still eating the wheat like zombies. They were still the same as last night. They seemed to have Lost humanity.

The three of them watched this scene from a distance. Leng Yue, Clay and Ren decided to split up and look for clues in this dark world.Only their footsteps echoed in the silent streets, and everything seemed so desolate.

In a certain house, Renn carefully opened the door and found that it was filled with books and documents. The mayor's status was unusual here, and he might be able to find clues. .

He began to look through the documents carefully, and finally found a diary, which he began to read slowly.

"Even though rye is dangerous, we decided to sell rye."

"As expected, we got rich and had a lot of money."

……

"There's something wrong with the rye, someone has started to mutate, I have to stop this"

"There's no way to stop it, I know we can't live without it."

"We become monsters."

There was no further writing later. Although it was short, Renn had already figured out the relationship, but he still didn't know which one was what. The diary written by this guy was too simple, and he couldn't find the key information at all.

He should know that he already knows, but what he wants is what he doesn't know.

The door to the room suddenly opened, and Clay hurriedly hid under the table. If he was discovered, he would really be in trouble.
