"Your Excellency Qin Lun, what do you mean..." Cora rested her chin thoughtfully.
"Bang bang, bang bang!" Qin Lun stopped talking and showed his intentions with actions.
The other people saw Qin Lun knocking and knocking in the hall, and their eyes lit up, "Is there a dark room in the room?"
"This wooden house is not only the residence of the forest ranger, it is also the management organization of the camping area. There are many rooms and many storage rooms. If the previous forest ranger has remodeled it, it is not surprising that there is a dark room!" Qin Lun While searching for the imaginary dark room, he explained to everyone.
"But... why did the forest ranger build a darkroom in his residence? I mean, there are so many rooms here, enough to store supplies for the camping area!" the centaur girl still asked confusedly.
"Officer Michelle, believe me, they are not storing supplies for the camping area, but for themselves!" Seth took down a stove iron from the fireplace, and cooperated with Qin Lun to start checking the room, "They are stealing the camping area. Supplies!"
"What?" Michelle couldn't believe it.
"In this area, only Crystal Lake and this wooden house cannot be monitored by me. Hansen has been drinking at the bonfire in front of the house. If Hill is dragged into the lake, he can't see it, and I can't feel it. "Qin Lun whispered with certainty, "Only this wooden house is our blind spot. The attacker must have taken Hill away through some kind of mechanism behind the house, and then locked him in the underground darkroom."
"Duh!" When Hansen checked the thick walls of the hall and kitchen, there was a hollow sound from the walls.
"Let's find that son of a bitch!" Seth threw the stove iron in his hand to Hansen, and pulled out another one by the fireplace, and the two muscular men began to violently demolish it.
A few minutes later, a deep and dark hole appeared on the wall. Under the orange fire, a narrow passageway was vaguely revealed in the depth of the black hole.
"Hehe, it seems that my judgment is not completely accurate. This is not a dark room, but a passage-style sandwich wall!" Qin Lun fingered the bangs on his forehead. While thinking, subconsciously tore off his silver hair.
"Unbelievable!" Michelle looked at the narrow passage in the wall with a look of disbelief, "Didn't the seniors of the city police check this?"
"No, they couldn't check it out. At that time, the walls were still full of materials, such as animal fur, flour and so on!" Hansen lifted an oil lamp to shine on the hole, wiped it with his finger, and put it under his nostril to smell Smell.
"When the Crystal Lake camping area was closed, something came back here and emptied the supplies in the wall, and then this place became its lair!" Qin Lun said with a sneer, "It seems that we sent it this time. Here comes a big meal!"
…
"Officer Castro, are you...really going in?" Michelle looked at Qin Lun worriedly, the brows on his face twisted into a ball.
"Hehe, if I don't go in, who will I let in? Detective Rowling is a woman, and Seth and Hansen are too wide. As for you... I'm afraid you can't even turn around inside!" Qin Lun glanced at the centaur The girl's round buttocks made fun of it with a smile.
"No, you know that's not what I mean!" Michelle blushed, "I mean, that monster can easily tear people into pieces. Maybe we can seal off the passage and gather together. Wait until dawn Let’s ask Sergeant Maloof to search here again and find Advisor Hans!”
"It won't work. If that monster...is just an ordinary beast, then my gun can kill it. If it's not...then even if we stick together, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive till dawn!" Qin Lun comforted with a smile To, "Maybe we are all going to die here, but before that, we must at least find out the truth."
Cora and Seth looked at each other, and Seth hesitated for a moment, then said in the team channel: "That...Qin Lun! Maybe we can work together to tear down this wooden house, or burn it, and force that thing out. Not necessarily I must let you take risks!"
"No, believe me, burning down the wooden house is definitely not a good way. I have a hunch, maybe... this is just the beginning!" Qin Lun's eyes flashed, he turned to the big hole in the wall, and finally took a look at everyone, He nodded and said, "Keep in touch, I'm going in!"
The passage in the wall is very narrow, and with Qin Lun's "slender" elf figure, he also needs to turn his body sideways to feel his way forward.
"Creak!" The floor of the road is a whole piece of wood, which should be connected to the wood in the room of the wooden house, but the wood inside is a little rotten, and it feels soft and weak when stepped on.
"Ahem! I should have come in wearing a mask!" After rounding a corner, a strong rancid stench gradually emanated from the aisle, which made people want to vomit.
Qin Lun tore off a piece of shirt to cover his mouth and nose, but still felt tightness in his chest. Squeezing through a narrow road again, he found that the front was already a dead end, blocked by a thick brick wall.
"Did I make a mistake in my judgment? No, there is no mistake. Since the wooden house has lanes, there is no need for a space barrier." Qin Lun frowned and said to himself, "I walked through three lanes just now, and the area is about ten or so. The square meter, plus the height of the wall, is at least 30 cubic meters in volume. There can be no other passages in the wooden house, otherwise, the load-bearing capacity is not enough, and the bottom will collapse!"
"If it's not the aisle in the wall, then it's... underground!" Qin Lun tore off the interlining covering his mouth and nose, "The rancid smell in the aisle just now..."
Qin Lun closed his eyes, sniffled his nose, and slowly backed away a certain distance, "The smell is the strongest here!"
"Pfft!" Qin Lun squatted down, flipped his right hand, and the sinful dagger fell into his palm, stabbing down suddenly.
"Found it!" Qin Lun opened his eyes again, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, the sinful dagger pierced through the wooden board in the lane like cutting something, pulled it a few times, and pierced a circular hole in the ground of the lane Hole.
"It stinks!" A more intense rancid stench rose from the dark pit than before, which made him feel nauseous. "I should agree with Sass's suggestion and burn this place down. Anyway, we can find this dark hole!"
With a bitter face, Qin Lun cut the hole a little bigger, supported the edge of the hole, and jumped down. There is a large space in the cave, about three meters above the ground, and the architectural structure of the wooden house automatically appeared in his mind.
"This... should be next door to that basement!" Qin Lun sighed, "I never thought that I would be a ground mouse for nothing!"
"Crack!" As soon as he took two steps, there was a clear cracking sound from Qin Lun's feet.
"These are... what are they!" Qin Lun lowered his head, and a little green glow appeared in each of his eyes. The night vision ability of the elf blood allowed him to see the entire dark cave clearly.
"Qin Lun, have you found it?" Cora's inquiry came from the team channel.
"Yes, I think I found that thing's... kitchen!" Qin Lun frowned slightly as he looked at the blood-stained hair and bones on the ground. He turned around and picked up a thigh bone of an unknown creature on the ground. Turning over a mass of wet objects, "Perhaps... and the missing body parts of the couple in the villa!"
"You mean... their internal organs!" Cora said with an ugly face.
"Yes, although there is only a small part left, I'm sure it belongs to human beings!" Qin Lun curled his lips. He has dissected many people himself and is very familiar with this wet mass.
"Did you see Hill?" Hansen asked in a deep voice.
"No, he's not here, but I found his coat, maybe he was dragged to another place by that thing!" Qin Lun carefully examined Hill's coat, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Except for one sleeve, the coat is almost undamaged, as if Hill was brought here by that thing without resistance, or...
"Ah..." While Qin Lun was thinking, Cora's exclamation and other people's roars came from above his head.
"What's wrong up there?" Qin Lun was startled and asked anxiously.
"Qin Lun, come up quickly, it has appeared..." Hansen shouted in the team channel.
"I'm X!" Qin Lun couldn't help cursing, dropped the bone in his hand, and ran towards the entrance of the cave.
When he squeezed out of the wall again, he found that there was no one in the wooden house, and he couldn't help feeling cold.
"Qin Lun, we are tracking that thing in the forest behind the house, come quickly!" Fortunately, Hansen's reminder came quickly from the team channel, "It must have dug a tunnel between the forest and the wooden house, That's what you're hiding from your perception."
Qin Lun drew out the light from his waist to mourn, rushed out of the house in a few steps, and ran towards the forest.
"Hey, it's foggy!" After running out of the cabin, Qin Lun found that the bonfire in front of the cabin had been extinguished at some point. The crystal lake in front of the hut was filled with a white mist, and even the forest was shrouded in this mist.
Qin Lun frowned, and pressed his palm against a big tree, only to find that the elf story was greatly affected. It was as if the fog had completely blocked the whispers of the forest, preventing him from getting information from far away.
"Be careful!" Qin Lun reminded in the team channel with a trace of uneasiness in his heart.
"Well, come here quickly, we are at the three o'clock direction of the wooden house!" Hansen quickly reminded.
Qin Lun stopped talking, ran for a while in the forest, and finally saw Sass, Hansen and others again.
"What about that thing?" Qin Lun looked around and asked in confusion.
"That thing is too flexible, we lost its trace, can you sense something?" Hansen punched the big tree next to him annoyed.
"No, this fog has blocked my perception, and even the elves' night vision has been affected!" Qin Lun said with a frown, "We'd better go back to the cabin first, it's too dangerous to stay outside!"
"X, I almost caught it!" Seth gritted his teeth fiercely.
"Where are Michelle and Cora?" Qin Lun turned around and asked.
"They're here... where are they?" Hansen and Seth turned around and pointed, but found that there was nothing behind them, and there were no traces of the centaur girl and Cora.
"Kora!" Sath's frightened and angry shout sounded in the misty forest.
"Sand, sand..." As the branches and leaves of the trees shook, a chill appeared in the hearts of the three at the same time.
