Enclosed second floor bedroom.

Messy debris and blood stains on the bed.

This is the scene when Zhu Jue arrived at the crime scene.

This was a case that happened late last night. At that time, Zhu Jue should have chatted with Atal on the top of the tower or was already asleep on a rattan chair. Until this morning, the neighbor of this family got up early and prepared to come to the field and shouted for ten minutes, but no one answered. Then he went to the report to the Usa town garrison.

No one came to the Grand Elder Atal for help, but after learning about this, the latter rushed to the scene with Zhu Jue as soon as possible and said that he could provide assistance.

It turns out that Atal's words are no less effective in Usa Town than the local mayor. Under the premise that he strongly recommended Zhu Jue to participate in the investigation, Zhu Jue almost immediately changed from a dangerous foreigner to a trustworthy helper.

"What kind of attack is this?"

Walking around the room with a long sword, Zhu Jue asked while feeling the special atmosphere that might be left around him.

"Fifth, including missing persons, the number of victims has reached 10... Have you found anything?"

The garrison captain looked at the scene nervously. For the garrison captain of a simple town, handling such serial murders was a bit beyond his ability.

"I've just arrived. Have you investigated the situation of all the victims?"

Pat the captain's shoulder, Zhu Jue's eyes stayed at the bedroom window. The windows of this era naturally could not be glass products, but wooden windows like blinds or hollow wide wooden boards, with a simple latch behind them.

After moving forward two steps, the window frames and wooden frames did not have any traces of being destroyed as imagined, and they could only accommodate a normal man who bowed and passed by.

"They are all long-time residents of Usa Town, and they are also farmers, and they have no property except some grains and vegetables."

According to common sense, the murderer must have a motive for committing the crime when he kills someone, but who would have such a great hatred with a group of simple townsmen?

"The murderer just wants to kill people, and it has nothing to do with their identity or property. What I ask is what these victims have in common."

Since it has been confirmed that the murderer is a monster from the source of mental pollution, Zhu Jue will naturally not go to find its motive for murder. His goal is very clear, and he will find the monster and kill it, and then finish the work.

"This... they all live in Usa Town, and they are all farmers?"

The garrison captain scratched his chin awkwardly and said dryly, as if he had thought of something, suddenly he said excitedly again,

"Light! It seems that people said they saw the light on the day these victims were killed!"

"What kind of light?"

Zhu Jue subconsciously showed the colorful light in the dark night in his mind. Although the traces on the scene were not very similar, he still subconsciously cheered up.

"It's just ordinary light, and it disappears after just a moment of light."

"I understand. The crime scene should still be kept. Take me to see."

Pulling the corner of his mouth, Zhu Jue walked to the door with some helplessness, grabbed the door handle, bent down to see the lock, but there was still no sign of damage.

The entrance and exit of the entire room were not destroyed, so there were only two possibilities. Either the murderer came in from the door with a swagger. He knew the owner of the house, and even knew that the owner was willing to get up and open the door to let it enter the bedroom even in the middle of the night... The possibility of this situation sounds somewhat small. After all, judging from the traces on the ground, the guy appeared unfriendly.

Then there is only one possibility, the monster has a way to suddenly appear in the bedroom and launch a sudden attack.

"It doesn't matter to think about how it enters the room now. What's important should be how to know the time and place of the next time it appears!"

His fingers tapped on the door panel with a rhythmic sense. Zhu Jue pursed his lips and looked at the garrison captain and said,

"The current situation is that we know nothing about the murderer, and the chances of chasing him actively are very small. It is best to let him appear on his own, so I must know what these victims have done before they can attract the monster."

Wusar Town said it was not big, but a monster that could enter the bedroom and come and go quietly could still hide.

You must know that Zhujue's perception range is only about 20 meters. Even if the monster is hidden somewhere and does not move, it will take a lot of time to find it.

For Zhujue, who will leave the dream tomorrow evening, time is undoubtedly the most precious thing.

As soon as he walked to the corridor, Zhu Jue noticed that there were several garrison people searching in the room next to him. He glanced subconsciously and noticed that there were many wooden pieces scattered on the floor of the room, and there were several white wooden benches piled up in the corner of the wall next to him.

Turning to the room, picking up the hacksaw and plane on the ground, looking back at the garrison captain: "This family is still doing carpenters?"

"Of course, in addition to farming, some people with craftsmanship will also make these simple furniture for sale."

The commodity economy of Fantasy Dream is still in a relatively primitive state, and this situation is common.

"These stools look like they're new... were they making stools last night?"

The scattered pieces of wood on the ground didn't have time to clean up, and these stools didn't look like things that had been stored for a long time.

"I'll ask the neighbors next to me about the situation."

The garrison captain immediately asked someone to find the person who reported the case in the morning from the nearby area.

I asked a few simple questions, and as expected, according to this neighbor, on the way back from the farmland yesterday evening, the latter mentioned that he had to make several stools overnight to buy two new clothes for his family in order to save money.

Wood work, which was done by the victim before the attack, or that it had just been completed.

Will there be any contact?

"Does other victims have anything similar in their homes?"

"You mean...but there are many people in Usa Town who do this again, will it really be related?"

He still has basic eyesight to see the garrison captain, but the carpenter's work is too ordinary in his eyes. If he does this kind of thing, he will be targeted. Nearly one-third of the people in Usa Town will be the next target.

"You're right, the key is not the work... but the situation it causes."

He grabbed a stool, looked at the rivets and neat wooden blocks at the connection, and then turned to the tools. Zhu Jue narrowed his eyes and thought for a while.

Most of the monsters that I have encountered at present have no habit of choosing specific targets, and most of them are unlucky whoever they meet.

Assuming that the monster this time is the same, it will wander in Usa Town at night, looking for targets to attack, so how could it target these people who work at night?

Carpenters, rivets and hammers, iron saws...

sound!

"You should send someone to check what all the victims are doing before they are attacked. If you can't find out, ask the neighbors next to them if they heard the noise that night!"

Almost all attacks occurred late at night, and there is no nightlife in this world. Nine o'clock in the evening is a normal rest time for most people.

"I'll check it now!"

The garrison captain had no doubts about the people recommended by the Great Elder Atal. Without saying a word, he went to investigate according to Zhu Jue's ideas.

Facts prove that Zhu Jue’s guess is correct.

One is a kitchen decoration, the other is a utility room, and the other is a couple quarreling in the middle of the night.

Every family attacked had a sound that night!

Since the reason has been found, the next thing will be much simpler.

......

As night fell, Zhu Jue lay on a rattan chair under the oak tree outside Usa Church to enjoy the cool air.

On the right side of the rattan chair is a horn as thick as an adult's forearm, which is where he chooses to fight against monsters.

On the one hand, it is a hillside, and no one lives within a hundred meters nearby. It is covered by night. The monsters from the source of mental pollution will not be exposed to the vision of the residents of Wusar Town. On the other hand, it is convenient for such places to display Zhujue, so that they will not be restrained in a confined space.

"You really have the confidence to kill that monster?"

Atal was very worried about Zhu Jue's safety. He knew that Zhu Jue would sound the horn soon, so he asked again with some concern.

If his current position is not on the tower top platform nearly ten meters high and most of his body is still huddled behind, Zhu Jue may be moved.

"If you think I'm taking too much risk, then you should give me more rewards!"

Zhu Jue rubbed the head of the wind chime and let it wait between the branches next to it.

When he looked up again, there was no figure of Atal on the top of the tower.

He grabbed the horn, and a layer of frost was attached to the mouthpiece. There was no way, Zhu Jue looked at the layer of suspicious yellow sediment and couldn't even get down now.

Stepping on the large rocks in the open space next to him, Zhu Jue raised his neck and blew the horn.

Wow~

The strong physical fitness made Zhu Jue's breath very long, and the low horn sound was also very long.

The sound echoed in the streets and alleys of Wusa Town, riding on the night wind.

The woman holding the child and singing the lullaby softly heard it.

The merciful people standing on the roof heard it.

The members of the garrison holding a short sword in their hand and tremblingly guarding the hillside also heard it.

There is also the horrifying existence wandering in a different space, looking for the hunting target tonight, and you can hear it clearly.

Buzz ~~~

The warning in my mind has already sounded.

Zhu Jue drank the moonlight wine, threw the long sword of the dreamer aside, and placed the three-day moon sword horizontally on his legs.

The eyes always stay at the stone path in the middle of the hillside.

Dragging towards him in the darkness was a huge and profane monster.

Its appearance looks a bit like ape and a bit like an insect; its skin hangs down in piles, and on its wrinkled head, there are traces of degenerate eyes, and the head sways like drunkenness, with large open hooks on its extended forelimbs.
