Chapter 125 The Simple Truth
  "Chief Anthony, are you sure?"

"I'm pretty sure, young sir, I've been working in the town for more than ten years, and I've never heard of any rock climbing team missing in the cave, let alone triggering a large-scale search and rescue...

...If your description is accurate enough, it should be Old Vic. He has no relatives and has lived alone in an abandoned gold mine for decades. He usually catches prey and occasionally washes out some mineral sand from the mine. He was sold in the town, and his life was very tight... It sounds like I haven't seen him for a while..."

Chief Anthony scratched his hairline, which had receded significantly in middle age, and answered Zhu Mingyao's question with some confusion.

What this so-called exorcist asked really confused him.

After listening to the other party's answer, Zhu Mingyao thought for a moment and smiled:
  "Please don't take it seriously. I'm just asking around. Maybe I've forgotten it..."

He suddenly raised his head as if he was aware of it, and looked out into the thick darkness of the night, with a slight expression on his face.

"Other things can be postponed for later. Now let's get rid of those beasts first!"

Before he finished speaking, several crisp gunshots shattered the quiet night sky.

……

The open space in front of the forest farm was brightly illuminated by searchlights. The forest rangers and several young local residents held shotguns and formed two rows to fire alternately. They calmly shot down the pale monsters that rushed out of the woods outside. On the ground.

Just as Zhu Mingyao estimated, as long as it leaves the dark and complex environment, this weak cave monster has no power to fight back against modern firearms.

Seeing this, he quickly reached out and waved his hand, and several yellow paper figures were carried by several gusts of wind and flew over.

It's also worrying that the friendly NPCs are too capable. Look at how everyone becomes more courageous as they fight. If you are slow to act, your journey will be in vain.

The Yin Soldier did not reveal its form, but turned into an invisible wind that roared back and forth in the field. Every time it circled, a pale and short monster trembled and fell silently. Then a handful of lead shotguns were scattered, turning it into a Briquettes.

Under the attack of modern firearms and ancient magic, a large area of ​​cave monsters fell down like wheat being harvested in autumn.

The battle went smoothly, but Zhu Mingyao's expression showed a trace of doubt.

Why do these guys look like they're high? Keep rushing forward like a brainless pig?

As the saying goes, ants still live in vain. As long as they are intelligent creatures, they will always feel fear when facing life danger. It has nothing to do with their strength. This is the instinctive reaction of creatures.

But now there is not much fear in these monsters. Could it be that their IQs are as low as single-celled organisms?

He shouted softly, stopping everyone from continuing to shoot, and then commanded the Yin soldiers to swarm forward, get into the bodies of the last two monsters, and possess them with a ghost, immobilizing them on the spot.

After lowering his head and muttering a few words to Chief Anthony, and asking him to ask everyone to stay away for the time being, Zhu Mingyao calmly walked up to the two monsters standing stiffly, tilted his head, and showed a slightly cruel smile.

……

Silent all night.

It seemed that the battle the night before had wiped out all the monsters. Until the sun rose, everyone escorted the wounded down the mountain successfully without any further accidents.

It’s just that everyone’s eyes looked a little strange when they looked at Zhu Mingyao, who declined the offer of the rangers to accompany him and went up the mountain to search alone for the second time.

——Last night, a few bold young people couldn't hold back their curiosity and wanted to know what the exorcist was doing with the two monsters left behind. Then, to their horror, they witnessed a quasi-professional level anatomy... …

So before the group of people returned to the town, the reputation of the "Necromancer" was already known to everyone.

I have to say that spreading gossip is really the nature of Homo sapiens!
  At this time, a certain young magician who was cosplaying Fire X Ninja and leaping between the branches did not know that his glorious image had suffered a major blow. He was thinking about the results of yesterday's "research" in his mind.

Contrary to his original expectations, the reason why the monsters were so fierce and fearless in their crazy attacks was not because there was some mastermind behind the scenes who blessed them with bloodthirsty or something like that.

The truth is very simple.

They are hungry!

Very very hungry!

Zhu Mingyao found nothing that could be called food residue in the stomachs of the two monsters, not even Lao Ba's favorite secret seasoning, which showed how long they had been hungry.

Considering the opponent's tragic strength, the possibility of hunting animals with bare hands in the woods is almost zero, so its weird behavior is understandable.

Compared with the forest deer and hares that were as fast as the wind in the mountains, these blind people probably thought that the big workers in the forest farm would be easier to succeed. With hunger burning in their minds, they staged a drama of birds dying for food.

If it were anyone else, at this point in the investigation, it could be said that the mission has been successfully solved. The cause, process and results are all available. It was just an ordinary incident of monsters hurting people.

But in Zhu Mingyao’s view, the matter is not over yet!

He has read the original work!

These second-class cripples, who are blind and weak and cannot even be beaten by ordinary people, cannot feed themselves on the ground. How can they fill their stomachs underground? Cockroach?
  This is Jinzhou, not Guangdong!

Unless someone kept feeding them, they would have starved to death long ago!
  Zhu Mingyao already knew the target of suspicion.

At the end of the original movie, an old man caught the survivor who escaped from the cave, knocked him unconscious with a shovel and threw it to the monster. This clearly showed that this man and the cave-dwelling monster were in cahoots.

Based on the information obtained by Sheriff Anthony, Zhu Mingyao quickly identified the suspect, a lonely old mine guard named Vic!

A gold mine was mined in the mountainous area here decades ago. Although the rich ore has been exhausted, you can still find some gold through hard selection. It is said that Old Vic made a living from this.

……

Putting aside the rugged and winding dirt road in the forest, Zhu Mingyao boosted his energy and crossed over, heading straight ahead.

Now he has become the fourth god of the five internal organs, and his true energy is several times thicker than a few months ago. Using his toes on the branches for a little help, he swooped far away, perhaps faster than the fledgling Erzhu. It's still slightly inferior, but it's not inferior to a recent graduate.

After climbing over four or five mountains and walking for another ten minutes, Zhu Mingyao's eyes suddenly opened up.

Between the two mountains, there is a flat slope as big as a football field, with some dilapidated mining buildings remaining on it. Most of them have been turned into ruins over time, and only a few of them can still stand.

On the mountain wall opposite the building, there is a relatively complete mine entrance, hidden under the lush green vines.

Before the main body arrived, the Yin soldiers went first, controlling the summons and wandering around the abandoned ruins. The cautious young man stepped into the mine and slowly approached a brick and wooden hut in the residential area.

A rusty gray-white broken pickup truck was parked on one side of the cabin. Several strings of brown-red dried hare meat were hung on the wall. The peeled fur lay on the side. A dirty bed was dried on the wire next to it. The dirty thin quilt is obviously a sign that someone has lived here all year round.

However, under the investigation of the Yin soldiers just now, the interior was empty, as if the building had already been deserted.
