"The breath of a living person?" Vivian's words made Hao Ren immediately alert, "Human? Alien?"
"I don't know, it's very faint," Vivienne lowered her voice, "Let's go and have a look."
Hao Ren didn't expect that there would be people active in this deserted area outside the town. He looked back at the town on the other side of the fence, and then at the silhouettes of buildings in the distance. There is no doubt that normal people would not be there. At this time, go over the fence and go to the place in the darkness. The first thing he thought of was the Ancatero family who had been active here and the guys who might be attracted by this incident, such as the demon hunter—only this kind of person is most likely to appear here at this moment.
After all, that's why he and Vivian came here.
He and Vivian hid their breath, and under the cover of darkness, they quickly approached the hut in the dark, and soon came to a distance of more than ten meters away from the hut. He could clearly see the details of the house. It was an old house built of bricks and tiles, with two floors in total, a pointed roof and a half-broken chimney on top of the house. Overgrown weeds and potholed roads can be seen around the house. The ground near the house should have been leveled and once paved with bricks, but now the force of wind, rain and plant growth has completely destroyed those roads. It was destroyed, and now only some broken bricks and stones can be seen buried on the ground with mud, and overgrown weeds are growing vigorously from the gaps between those bricks and stones.
Hao Ren's eyes fell on those plants. He saw that the weeds and shrubs in front of the house showed signs of falling down, and the plants at the door had obviously been cleaned up: "Look over there, it should have been cleaned up just now, it should be the same We are the same people who came here to investigate."
Vivian frowned to distinguish the breath in the air carefully, and squinted her eyes to look at the house. In her vision of the vampire, the house slowly took on a cold blue tone, while a little trace of red was printed on it. On the door of the house and on the windows on the second floor. She observed intently, and finally caught a target in the room that was alive and smelled of warm blood. This target emitted a faint red light like a beating heart.
"It's... a human being." Vivienne's voice was a little unbelievable, "At least from the breath. It's just an ordinary human being."
"Humans? Come to investigate this kind of place in the middle of the night," Hao Ren was surprised, but he believed in Vivienne's judgment, "I thought it was a witcher."
As soon as he finished speaking, a light suddenly appeared on the second floor of the abandoned house. The light moved slowly in the darkness, looking like the light of a flashlight. Judging from the moving speed and path of this faint light source. The people in the room seemed to be moving cautiously on tiptoe. Hao Ren and Vivian exchanged glances: "Shall we go in and have a face-to-face meeting? Or should you send a bat over there to try..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden loud crashing sound from the abandoned house, followed by a terrified scream from the second floor. Seeing this, Hao Ren didn't want to test anything anymore. Considering that there were only ordinary humans in the house, he immediately pulled Vivienne and ran towards the abandoned house.
The door of the abandoned house was indeed ajar, and it opened as soon as someone pushed it. After Hao Ren and Vivian entered the house, they first saw an empty living room. The only broken furniture in the living room had been moved to the corner, covered with dust and cobwebs. Folding rule stairs. The screaming had stopped by the time they ran into the house. It was replaced by a deathly silence, but after Hao Ren concentrated his mind, he still heard a faint sound of breathing coming from above, it seemed that the guy above was still alive.
He and Vivian ran to the second floor. At the end of the dark corridor, there was a flashlight that fell on the ground, and the beam of the flashlight illuminated a man lying on the ground. The man was wearing a black loose suit. He looked to be in his forties, fell to the ground with a pale face, and was pressing his hands on his chest in pain, with a look of panic that hadn't dissipated on his face. After hearing someone's footsteps going upstairs, the man looked in Hao Ren's direction dimly, his lips twitched twice as if he was asking for help.
At this time, saving lives is the most important thing. Hao Ren immediately stepped forward to check the man's injuries, but he found that the man had no external injuries, so he beckoned out the data terminal: "Look at what's going on with him."
"Don't look. It's just a heart attack," the data terminal had already scanned the man. It floated over and landed on the opponent's chest, "Get out of the way, this machine will give him an electric resuscitation... 1, 2, 3, let's go!"
The voice of the data terminal fell, and a small arc burst out from the casing. The man in black immediately twitched violently, but his face softened at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon he opened his eyes, and nodded to Hao Ren and Vivian with a grateful expression: "Thank... thank you, I owe you my life."
The data terminal sneaked back into Hao Ren's pocket while the man had just recovered from his obscurity.
Hao Ren picked up the flashlight that had fallen on the floor, and helped the man in black to sit against the wall on a pile of debris in the corner. Then he asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
The man in black had just narrowly escaped death and was rescued by Hao Ren. At this time, he was in the state where he was most likely to ask questions, so although he looked at the man and woman in front of him suspiciously, he still nodded and answered: "My name is Pierre. , is a... freelance detective, just here to find some clues."
"Looking for clues? Detective?" Hao Ren didn't expect this place to attract such people. "May I ask what kind of clues you are looking for?"
The freelance detective who called himself Pierre hesitated a little. He looked at Hao Ren and Vivian: "May I first ask what you do?"
"Oh, we are also detectives," Hao Ren said casually, "but we don't know if your investigation is the same as ours."
A vigilant and cautious expression immediately appeared on Pierre's face. He considered his words and said slowly: "I'm here to investigate a disappearance case, but due to professional ethics, I can't tell you too much. I'm sorry."
This man is not telling the truth.
Even without Vivian reminding him, Hao Ren could tell at a glance that Pierre was trying to hide something.
He can understand the other party's caution and concealment: investigating this key place at this critical time, if it is not really a coincidence, it can only be directed at the Ancatero family. If it is the latter, then it has something to do with aliens Of course, things must be very careful. Some ordinary human beings also know the existence of aliens. They live in the shadow of human society and supernatural society, and live extraordinary lives like those in thriller novels and supernatural stories. Those human servants under Hesianna and church members A small number of hermits are such people. In addition, there are also those "retail investors" who have stepped into the world of aliens or demon hunters by chance. Such people will be more vigilant. The Pierre in front of him might be the last one.
Hao Ren looked into Pierre's eyes, and clearly expressed his inquisitive attitude: "You are lying."
Pierre rubbed his hands in embarrassment: "I am very grateful to you for saving my life, but I really can't reveal the secret. And even if I tell you some things, I'm afraid you will think it's crazy."
The other party's words were tantamount to tacit consent, Hao Ren followed up and asked: "What you are investigating... Could it be some kind of supernatural power?"
Pierre's eyes widened suddenly.
"Then you admit it," Hao Ren said with a serious expression, "Are you here for the Ancatello family?"
Pierre had a puzzled look on his face: "Ancatero? I don't know what you're talking about. I'm really investigating some surreal things, but it has nothing to do with the family you mentioned."
Hao Ren frowned. He didn't know whether this man really didn't know or had excellent acting skills, but since the other party knew about the supernatural field, many things would be easier to handle. He patted Vivian on the shoulder lightly: "Make some special effects."
Vivienne immediately understood, her eyes were instantly stained with blood-like red light, surrounded by icy blood visible to the naked eye, and the vampire's fangs slowly emerged in the darkness: "What are you investigating?"
Vivienne is usually a gentle character, but after all, with more than 10,000 years of experience here, she is also capable of scaring people, and this display is very effective: Pierre suffered another heart attack on the spot...
After finally rescuing this "freelance detective" again, Hao Ren said from the bottom of his heart: "To be honest, your physical fitness is really not suitable for this—it was the first time I saw a heart attack to investigate supernatural phenomena. "
Pierre didn't pay attention to what Hao Ren was saying. He stared blankly at Vivienne who was in a vampire state, and suddenly confessed everything in a trembling tone: "Please forgive my concealment—I said, I don't know what to say." Having said that, I am looking for the legendary golden manor... "
Hao Ren was taken aback: "Golden Manor?" (to be continued~^~)
