When the night crow sings a dirge

Li Bola looked at Cheng Shi with a half-smile, her slightly aggressive gaze seeming to want to see through him.

"You seem very stingy with your trust."

Cheng Shi curled his lips, noncommittal.

Qin Chaoge's face turned even darker:

"Why don't you ask the Ranger?"

"None of your business?"

Cheng Shi dismissed Qin Chaoge casually, pondered for a moment, and asked Li Bola:

"You... know where they are?"

Li Bola smiled: "How did you see it?"

"You don't seem to be afraid that the murderer is around. This doesn't look like the certainty after understanding the environment, but like mastering their whereabouts."

"Not bad, comparable to a Hunter's intuition. Ji Ran is still in the hotel room, as for Hu Xuan..."

Li Bola frowned and continued, "She is probably also investigating. She is in the south of the town, moving very fast, she should be running wildly."

"You can even perceive places you have never been to?"

Cheng Shi was shocked.

"Wind will tell me the answer."

Tsk, Wind-Taming Ranger is awesome.

Li Bola looked at Cheng Shi's emotional expression and smiled:

"Any ideas?"

"Since the murderer is not here, take advantage of no danger, why not go and check what kind of filth is hidden under this blood moon.

If it is really 【Corruption】 spreading pollution, under the illumination of the blood moon, we should also be affected.

But I walked all the way and didn't feel His whisper.

Hearing is false, seeing is believing.

Maybe we should go for a walk on the street?"

Li Bola's answer was very capable: "Together, or separately?"

Actually, Cheng Shi wanted to be separate, but considering there was still a mastermind hunting players, he cautiously chose together.

It is rare for three teammates to reach temporary trust at this time. If they can work together tonight, maybe they can really find something.

Moving as soon as he said, the three left the church immediately and disappeared into the moonlight.

Not long after, a strange tune sounded on the quiet street of Yuanmu Town.

"When the light goes away from us~

When the night crow sings a dirge~

The blood moon will come to the earth again~

Punishing the sin of blasphemy!"

To be honest, Qin Chaoge sings very well, her voice is loud and graceful, very tasteful.

But singing this ghost song in the silent night, it still makes people feel creepy.

Cheng Shi got goosebumps all over, and after enduring it all the way, he finally opened his mouth and said:

"With this singing method, even ghosts are scared away. We are out to investigate, not to scare people, stop your voice, big sister."

"Are you afraid?"

"I'm afraid? I..."

"Wow—wow—"

Before Cheng Shi finished speaking, a terrifying night crow call suddenly sounded from afar, and then the three saw a large group of night crows flapping and flying to the high place.

Qin Chaoge's eyes instantly lit up.

"When the night crow sings a dirge!

Look, I sing, and the night crows come out! Eh eh eh, flew away, how about it, shall we chase and see?"

Cheng Shi looked at Li Bola and felt it was feasible.

The three acted immediately. Cheng Shi sighed while running:

"I said big sister, if your brain always turns so fast, wouldn't our efficiency go up?"

Qin Chaoge rolled her eyes disdainfully.

"I call this great wisdom looks stupid."

Heh, I just hope you are not stupid.

Cheng Shi's foot strength is good, but compared to a wind and a beast, it is much inferior.

Perhaps it was because she couldn't stand Cheng Shi dragging his feet and not running fast, Qin Chaoge frowned and finally sang the Singer's melody for the first time.

"The blood-colored banner~ dancing with the wind~

The fierce horse under the crotch~ running wildly like an arrow!"

Just singing a paragraph lightly, Cheng Shi felt that his legs were suddenly full of infinite power, spinning uncontrollably.

The speed was so fast that it was almost smoking.

His whole body became extremely hot, wishing the wind blowing in his face would be bigger and cooler.

Running, even his arms swung uncontrollably. If it weren't for a little reason, Cheng Shi felt that he could really lean down, crawl on all fours, and turn into a fierce horse like an arrow.

"This is...?"

Li Bola is well-informed, and the wind she turned into gave the answer:

"The Hunting Song of the Wulun Herdsmen!"

Qin Chaoge raised her head proudly, seemingly saying: "Is it cool?"

To be honest, it's a bit cool.

Seeing the affirmation of Cheng Shi's expression, Qin Chaoge, who had long been accustomed to this speed increase, laughed loudly, regardless of her image as a woman, and ran wildly on all fours directly.

In the blink of an eye, she threw Cheng Shi a street away.

Hiss—

What a fierce horse!

The wind beside her was not to be outdone, and immediately rolled over, leaving only Cheng Shi running wildly behind, but could never catch up.

"..."

The night crow group circled in the sky for a while, scattered into twos and threes, and landed sparsely on many residential roofs.

Cheng Shi followed the traces of the two running for a while, and stopped in front of a residential house with night crows on the roof.

When he looked up panting, Qin Chaoge and Li Bola were standing at the door thinking with solemn expressions. It looked like they had found something.

"Found what?"

"You... see for yourself."

Cheng Shi was stunned and walked straight into the courtyard.

The door of the courtyard and the door of the room were both open. Under the faint moonlight, he could barely see some wet marks on the floor in the room.

But if you look closer, you will find that these wet marks are not water stains spilled accidentally, but a pool of blood that has not yet dried.

The sight followed the blood forward, turned into the bedroom, and a middle-aged corpse came into view.

He knelt in front of the shrine worshiping 【Eternal Sun】, with a dagger inserted in his chest, his right hand holding the knife handle, looking like suicide.

Cheng Shi squatted down to observe carefully, and not long after, he found that this was another faked suicide.

But the means were much smarter than the teammate's death in the hotel before, and almost no flaws could be found at the scene.

Only by moving the legs of the dead kneeling, can you find a little bloodstain blocked under his knees.

This shows that he had struggled, but was held down.

Cheng Shi didn't waste too much time, and directly used 【Memory of the Deceased】. He didn't think the deceased could find anything before death, but at least he could listen to what he wanted to say.

So he asked:

"What do you want to say?"

"Praise 【Eternal Sun】, may light be with us..."

When the words fell, Qin Chaoge and Li Bola appeared at the door.

Listening to the eulogy in the corpse's mouth, they sneered.

"Heh, punishing the sin of blasphemy...

He was clearly praying piously in front of the shrine before he died. If this is considered blasphemy, then what god did he blaspheme?"

Cheng Shi couldn't answer. He put away the brooch and looked up at the shrine.

A huge sun statue hung on it, which should be the 【Eternal Sun】 worshiped by Yuanmu Town.

That lifelike sun holy statue was placed in front of the deceased, from beginning to end without any change, just silently witnessing the death of his believer.

"Did you see anyone?"

"No, the other party has been gone for a while, but one thing is certain, he is like us, chasing the footsteps of the night crows."

Li Bola pointed to the night crows that had flown away outside the window and said:

"Around here, in all the houses where night crows landed, people died. I counted roughly, a total of 7 families, 13 lives...

All committed suicide."
