You call this a shield?

Not long after, the middle-aged man named David came out again.

He was neat and tidy, and he still had the slight heat rising from the bath. Under the watchful eyes of Sheld and Stike, this guy just walked over and sat next to Sheld again.

"The bath?"

Sheld asked tentatively.

"Preparing to wash, waiting in line."

"Didn't you just wash it?"

Sheld could even see that the tip of the other party's hair was still a little wet. If it was said that it hadn't been washed in it, then he would never believe it.

And when these words were spoken, David's body shook slightly, and he stood up immediately: "I finished washing?"

"Have you finished washing?" Sheld obviously noticed that the other party's eyes had regained some light, as if he was awake: "You don't know if you took a shower or not?"

"Oh yes, I'm done!"

David seemed to have been activated by some kind of switch, and his whole body became "lively". He stretched his waist, tightened his old and neat clothes and said with emotion: "It's so comfortable after taking a shower, eh? Here But the men's bath, Miss, did you go to the wrong place?"

"No, I'll wait for him."

Stike pointed at Sheld with a normal expression.

"Oh!"

With a somewhat inexplicable expression, David scratched the back of his head and said to himself as he walked out: "Strange, why do I seem to have forgotten something...?"

"What do you think?"

Watching the farmer go away, Sheld asked slowly.

"As I said before, these people seem to follow a certain fixed law of action."

Sidike looked at her toes, frowning as if she was trying to remember something: "This situation reminds me of a record I read in the notes of a certain alchemist."

"what?"

"A potion made from the scale powder of the monster Dreamweaver, which can make people act as if they are living in a dream."

"Act as if you were living in a dream... sleepwalking?"

Sheld simply interpreted it as sleepwalking.

"It can be understood that they will live in a dream, and their limbs will be out of control and move freely. They look like ordinary people."

"So the symptoms are very similar."

Sheld felt that he had found the answer: "So, someone put this potion, and people in this town ate it by mistake?"

A kind of conspiracy that is easy to think of, poisoning in the water or something.

This place is located in the wilderness in the northwest of the empire, and there are not many water sources. There are only two or three water sources in the town, and almost everyone uses them.

And the different world is like the ancient people in the previous life. Drinking water is filled with water, and the water stored in the water tank is directly drunk with a ladle and boiled?nonexistent.

So it's too easy to put something dirty.

"A monster, or someone with ulterior motives." Sidi Ke added: "The scale powder of a monster itself can cause a similar effect, and it's even more dangerous."

Could this be related to the "Bunier" family found by the mission?Sheld has no way of knowing for now.

"When we came, the guard said that Harold killed the Bunier family?"

"really."

Si Ti Ke nodded: "Do you think these two things are related?"

"Perhaps, they are all suspicious things. If there is an intersection between the two, it should be easier to investigate."

"Anyway, I want to go to Bunier's house first."

With that said, Shield glanced at the map panel again: "Why is Neveu still there?"

This is not a game. Teammates will get stuck in a certain place and get a BUG.

"Go out and see."

The two walked out of the door quickly, and saw Neveu squatting at the door, digging something with a small shovel that they didn't know where to get.

"What are you doing? It's in front of someone's hotel!" Sheld hurried over and tapped Neveu's calf with his toe: "So many people are watching?"

Sheld looked around at the passers-by who occasionally glanced this way and whispered. If anyone felt suspicious, it would be troublesome to get the guards from the city over.

"Leader, wait a moment... it will be ready soon!"

Neveu didn't raise her head, and continued to dig a few times, and a crumpled thing that looked like an apple core was dug out.

"investigation."

"The rotten seeds of the abyss, the seeds from the abyss, can no longer bloom the flowers of disaster."

"Tsk."

Sheld greeted directly: "Take it, fill up the soil, and let's go."

"Where?"

Neveu subconsciously picked up the seeds and asked in a daze.

"Go to Bunier's house."

……

According to Neveu, she overheard the innkeeper talking to another woman, who she didn't know, and planted the seed at the door.

As a result, the hotel owner planted the seeds on his front feet and went out, and Neveu dug them out on his back feet.

This is rather strange. If you want to say, it’s okay to plant good seeds, but the investigation shows that such seeds are rotten. What’s the use of rotten seeds?Still planted in front of your own hotel?

Sheld didn't understand.

But on the other hand, the reappearance of the seeds means that it is very likely that this thing may have spread a batch to all parts of the mainland very early.

But it can't be pursued for the time being. The mystery is really entangled, and we can only wait for the hotel owner to come back.

Or, if the boss can't find any effective information, then he can only make plans after returning to the vicinity of the Adventurer's Guild at Windhawk Watchpost.

It wasn't hard to find Bunier's house. After asking around and "waking up" a few passers-by who were numb, Sheld successfully found the house in the southeast corner of the town.

It's not "old and small", but a conventional two-story building, with an open-air balcony and a small yard. These prove that the previous owner of this house had a good income, enough to feed the family and save a small amount of money at the same time .

Now, a big lock is hung on the gate here, and the whole place reveals a gloomy feeling.

"It's a bit chilly here..."

Neveu rubbed his arms.

"When you say that... I also..."

Sheld also rubbed his arms. This was definitely not because the air conditioner was turned on low, nor was it a sudden drop in temperature, but a feeling of coldness from the inside out.

"Is it because of the soul here?"

"what?"

Shield's face twitched a little: "Are there many souls in this place?"

Although I have seen a soul and I have become a soul, but when I think that there are many such things around me, I always feel a little psychologically uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, things like souls are generally impossible to affect the real world. If there is a high probability that you scare yourself, if you really meet the kind of soul that can affect the real world, you probably have nothing to do with him, so , relax."

Si Dike looked around and said, "However, there are really many remnants here."

"Your words make people feel uneasy..."

Neveu muttered softly.

"I remember you said that when a person dies, the soul will go where the dead should go?"

Sheld asked curiously. After all, Stike had said before that when both he and Neveu died, their souls would "dissipate".

"That's the case in theory, but there are exceptions. For example, Afalaye is strong enough to force himself to stay in a special way. Also, if the resentment is deep enough, he can also stay in the form of a remnant soul for a while."

Si Tike explained: "And it doesn't take effect immediately. If you die, as long as the body is still there, the soul will still exist for a short period of time."

"For a short while."

As she spoke, Si Di compared a gap the size of a fingernail with her hands.

"However, there are so few people here, so few, and so many souls, can't it be a cemetery or something?"

"It is said that the settlements are mainly in the northwest."

Sheld thinks that the fewer people there are, the better, and no one is better. In the absence of clear witnesses to interview, first-hand materials must be found from the scene, and the means of handling the case in the different world are obviously unprofessional, and the scene is not blocked at all. , symbolically hanging the lock.

It is very important to protect the first scene.

"Correction, the first scene is gone, here are at least the second and third."

"What are you mumbling about?"

"Spell, don't disturb my train of thought, report anything suspicious to me."

"it is good--!"

Sheld sent Neveu away and wandered around the room alone.

How did you get in here?

Of course it is to cut the lock!Filled Neveu with a bottle of "soda", directly killed chickens with a sledgehammer, cut the chain door in half with a single strike... Ahem, no one saw it anyway, and there is no such thing as a camera in this world.

If you cause damage, as long as you don't get caught on the spot, just slip away in time...

This room probably belonged to the owner's child. Beside the bed was a rough puppet that looked like a cat or a dog, as well as a small table and a small stool.

It can't be called very good, but it can only be said that compared with Sheld's previous impression, the child's room is much more monotonous.

He still remembers the children's room of his relatives in his previous life, the multifunctional desk that made people feel a bit taxed by IQ, and some eye protection lamps - there was more than one, and after changing this one, he changed another one, and in the corner of the room there was With a set of "Back to Back Jia" stacked, Sheld has experienced the feeling of being straightened.

But the child is still short-sighted, no different from Sheld who played CS when he was a child. Should he be reminded to sit or be reminded to sit, and the set of good backs is just dust.

And all sorts of messy children's books.

Of course, the most important thing is the toy.

a doll?

Shield returned his gaze to the doll on the bed, that thing that looked like a dog and a cat.Picking it up a little bit and looking carefully, the feeling in the hand is not like the soft feeling in Sheld's impression.

"It reminds me of the beanbags I used to play with."

The stuffing inside made Sheld pinch for two rounds unconsciously.

"There is no dust. It seems that this thing is used a lot as the master?"

It seems that there are really no other toys, instead of taking away the ones I like and leaving the ones I don’t like here-of course, the target of the mission, the "Burnier" family, is still alive and it is very likely that they took the initiative An investigation that departs from this perspective.

"Let's go and see the others."

The kid's room is nothing to look at.

Sheld walked out of the room with the doll, and just as he was about to go downstairs, he heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground in another room.If he remembered correctly, Sidi Ke should be searching over there.

Pushing open the door and entering, I saw a pile of book pages scattered in front of Sidi Ke.

"Accidentally?"

"Accidentally."

"That's all right."

Shield stepped back and went downstairs.

The first floor is the living room and kitchen, and Sheld and the others had already seen it when they came in.

Nothing particularly weird.

He found a chair at random and waited until more than ten minutes later, the three of them gathered in the living room.

"Have you found any clues?"
