Ghost Rider's Judgment

Chapter 244 Clock Monster

While asking for directions, Chen Qi found the door of the owner's house where the notice was posted. At this time, a man was standing in front of the house, chopping firewood outside in the cold wind.

"Mr. Pierce?" Chen Qi said standing behind the man.

"What's the matter?" Pierce turned around and saw Chen Qi and said, "Hey, wait, I know you. You are the one who came back with Mr. Gaston yesterday!"

"That's right, I'm here for the notice." Chen Qi said.

"Notice?" Pierce hesitated for a moment, then stuck the firewood ax on the stake and said, "Come in!"

After Chen Qi followed Pierce in, he found that the house was completely dilapidated compared to Gaston's house.

"Did Gaston send you here?" Pierce asked.

"I saw the notice myself." Chen Qi said.

This answer seemed to disappoint Pierce: "I asked Gaston to help me solve this problem before, but he gave up later because he couldn't find it for several days, so I had to put up a notice, thinking that maybe there would be one Some skilled travelers came to help me out.”

"You are very lucky, I am here!" Chen Qi said: "I am a demon hunter, specializing in solving monsters!"

"What is a witcher?" Pierce asked confused.

"Can't you hear it? It literally means a profession that is specially trained to fight against monsters. It just needs to be paid!" Chen Qi said.

"Is this possible?" Pierce obviously didn't believe that humans could really fight against monsters.

"You should know that witches are afraid of iron!" Chen Qi explained: "In fact, monsters also have things they are afraid of, such as some are afraid of charcoal, some are afraid of mithril, some are afraid of fire, and some are even afraid of onions. Garlic crosses, and we demon hunters deal with monsters based on our understanding of similar knowledge, coupled with our trained fighting skills against monsters!"

Pierce hesitated for a while, then turned and walked to the fireplace. He took out a few old copper coins from behind the fireplace. He counted twelve coins in total.

"This is the most I can pay now." Pierce extended his hand holding the money to Chen Qi.

Chen Qi did not accept them, but said: "Put them in a bag, and then give them to me when I come back from destroying the monsters."

Then Chen Qi said: "Now, tell me about that monster."

"I made it clear on the notice," Pierce said.

"Where did it capture your child? When was it roughly? How was it captured?"

Pierce thought for a while and then said: "It was night, and the monster suddenly broke into the house. Our family was very tight recently, so we didn't light candles at night. I couldn't see what the monster looked like at all. I could only see a blur. Its limbs and body are like sticks, but its face is extra long, and it also makes weird bells!"

"It took little Jimmy away without saying a word, and said it would sacrifice it to his owner."

"Uh, that monster can still talk?" Chen Qi asked.

Pierce nodded and said, "Yes, he can talk."

"Can you let me see where your son was when he was arrested?" Chen Qi asked.

Pierce was stunned for a moment, seemingly reluctant, but still nodded and said, "Okay, no problem."

Pierce brought Chen Qi to their dining table, and something on the dining table immediately caught Chen Qi's attention.There was a plate on top, and there was a half-eaten piece of bread on the plate, but the bread was solid white bread, and it looked a little soft.

You know, even Gaston can't afford this kind of bread. They usually eat black bread.

"Strange, as far as I know, you shouldn't be able to afford this kind of bread!" Chen Qi asked.

Pierce immediately explained: "Uh, yes! A wealthy businessman passed by here a few days ago. I gave him a little help, and they gave me the bread they brought with them."

Chen Qi knew he was lying without looking at him. Rich businessmen usually repay favors by giving money directly and rarely food, but Chen Qi didn't bother to ask why.

"You go out for a while, I want to look for clues here, I can't concentrate on an outsider." Chen Qi said.

"But..." Pierce hesitated, but finally said: "Okay!"

Before leaving, he didn't forget to take the bread off the table.

Chen Qi sent Pierce away not because he couldn't concentrate, but because he wanted to cast a spell. He remembered Gaston's advice. People here are very resistant to magic, so Chen Qi didn't want to cause so much trouble. .

Chen Qi picked up the wand and cast the breath revealing spell, and then the trace of the monster appeared in front of Chen Qi's eyes.

(Most people have probably forgotten this spell. It is a spell created by the protagonist to track the other party based on their sinful aura. It appears in Chapter 99)
The monster's sinful aura soon appeared, showing a bloody red mist that wafted out of the window, and actually penetrated into the distant forest.

"Looks like I have to go for a walk in the forest." Chen Qi said and headed for the forest.

The long-term snowfall has made it freezing cold here. Even in the jungle, there are very few animals, and even if there are, they are mostly manic animals. This is the reason for the recent famine here.

But Chen Qi walked on the snow, but he didn't feel the cold at all. He walked straight forward in the forest, and even if a wild beast stood in front of him, it was just a ball of fire and was burned to death by him.

After a while, he found the location of the monster, and what surprised him was that when he got here, he could actually see a castle in the distance.

He remembered Gaston saying there was a castle here, just on the other side of the forest.

At this time, Chen Qi suddenly stopped, because his breath stopped here, which meant that the monster was nearby.

After looking around, he shouted, "Come out, there's no need to hide!"

As soon as Chen Qi finished speaking, the monster slowly walked out from behind a big tree.

However, after seeing the image of the monster, Chen Qi couldn't help but be stunned.

This monster is very similar to what Pierce described. The body and limbs are like a stick, but the face is extremely long.

And the reason why it looks like this is because it is a clock! !

Its body and limbs are made of metal, slender and long, and its face is like a clock, which is why it can emit bells.

"Hey, this monster is a bit curious!" Chen Qi couldn't help but complain.

"What are you doing here, human?" The clock monster seemed to have no mouth, and it was unknown where the sound came from, but its voice was exactly the same as that of an ordinary human being.
