Chapter 97: Bewitched
A few minutes later, Luo Yuan came back, his face looked a little ugly. He searched the entire community but found nothing.
"Have you seen someone standing there just now?" Luo Yuan asked everyone.
"I didn't see it. I was just watching the boss." Sun Xiaowu said embarrassedly.
Others shook their heads.
"Boss, have you read it wrong?" Huo Dong said carefully, and his heart became nervous.
Did he really read it wrong? Luo Yuan was a little uncertain. He just saw a flash in front of him, and then the figure disappeared. You must know that with his agility as high as thirteen points, three times that of an ordinary person. If you want to deceive his eyes, unless the speed must reach supersonic speed, but in fact, no movement was made just now.
At this time, Luo Yuan suddenly remembered the inexplicable palpitations in the middle of the night yesterday. His face became solemn. It might be an hallucination once, but it happened twice in a short time, and it became a bit strange.
"Maybe I've really read it wrong." Luo Yuan said calmly. To ordinary people like them, this kind of thing will not help except increase panic and cause trouble for him. Instead of doing this, it's better not to let them know.
Luo Yuan did not continue practicing swords, but stayed in the villa to accumulate energy. During this period, he ordered Huang Jiahui to be alert. After shooting for warning if something was wrong, he went out twice, but he still found nothing.
The last time, he carefully searched Jingyue Community, and even several dangerous houses and every house was carefully checked. What made him feel cold was that he searched the entire community but found no survivor, and even the body could not be found.
Many of the decorations in the houses are well preserved and neatly arranged, and it is impossible to tell at all that the owner of the house is leaving in a hurry, and even important materials such as food are abandoned here.
This is absolutely abnormal, and the entire community reveals a hint of weirdness.
When he returned to the villa, Cao Lin avoided everyone, walked over with an anxious face, and whispered: "Have you seen Ning Xiaoran?"
Luo Yuan skipped a beat, his face changed: "What's wrong?"
"I don't know what's going on. I was here just now. I asked Xiaoran to throw away the garbage in the kitchen, but now I have been waiting for nearly half an hour and haven't come back yet. You just came back from outside. Have you seen her?"
"You've searched all the time in the room?" Luo Yuan said calmly.
"I have searched every corner, and even searched for the basement, but I still couldn't find it. It's so dangerous outside, Ning Xiaoran won't go outside!" Cao Lin said anxiously, with a hint of fear on her face.
"You didn't tell anyone else, did you?" Luo Yuan asked.
Cao Lin's face was obviously hesitant, and then said solemnly: "Not yet, I can't let others take risks for Ning Xiaoran's life alone!"
After all, people like me are still outsiders, and in the mind of this man, they are far from close to their women. If the news is spread, if Huang Jiahui and Wang Shishi impulsively want to find someone outside, it is okay to be safe. Once there is a problem, they will be blamed. Even if they don’t pursue it, there will probably always be a thorn in their hearts afterwards.
Sure enough, Luo Yuan nodded, with obvious appreciation in his eyes: "You are doing well."
"Don't tell others about this, so as not to cause panic. I'll go outside to find someone now." Luo Yuan picked up the knife and stood up.
"Ning Xiaoran will not be in danger, right?" Cao Lin said worriedly.
Luo Yuan didn't say anything, turned around and walked quickly outside.
...
It was rainy and the sky was darker than other times. Before five o'clock, it was gradually getting dark outside.
"Ning Xiaoran!"
"Ning Xiaoran, where are you?"
Luo Yuan shouted as he walked, mud and water were everywhere on the ground, and his feet were on it, and he was soon filled with mud and water. He could not even find any footprints. Although the community was not big, it was 50,000 to 60,000 square meters, and the middle was covered with buildings and plants, which could not be seen at a glance.
A confused search like this, he could not find anyone in a short time. In fact, he had no hope at all at this time. He knew very well that there was danger outside. Li Ning Xiaoran had disappeared at this time, and it had been half an hour. It was a miracle to find some traces of the corpse.
All you can do now is to do your best and leave your fate!
Luo Yuan searched for more than ten minutes but still couldn't find it. He was about to give up when he saw a shoe stuck in mud.
This is a women's sneaker. It seems that it has just been trapped in. The mud and water around it are still very fresh, and Luo Yuan looks a little familiar.
"It's Ning Xiaoran's!"
He was shocked and raised his head. There were traces of passing through the grass in front of his shoes. She obviously walked directly through the grass.
Luo Yuan didn't expect that this girl who is usually quiet and shy in speaking is so bold. Don't she know that there are mutant creatures everywhere in the grass?
The rain was getting heavier and the sky was filled with thunder.
A hazy rain curtain formed in the distance. Luo Yuan walked quickly along the traces of the grass. After he passed by a dangerous building, his eyes lit up.
In the rain, a figure wearing a beige coat was walking forward, one step deep and one step shallow.
She staggered and fell to the ground several times, but soon stood up in a mess again and continued to walk forward.
Luo Yuan's pace accelerated, and after a few breaths, he had already rushed behind her. He held the hilt tightly with his hands. In fact, he felt something was wrong. A woman with no power to tie a chicken was outside for half an hour. Except for falling several times, she was still safe. This matter was a little weird.
"Ning Xiaoran, where are you going?"
Ning Xiaoran seemed to have not heard it and continued to stagger forward.
Luo Yuan's heart tightened and his hands tightly held the hilt of the knife.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, the sky was completely dark, and lightning bolts exploded in the sky, and the sky became bright and dark.
Luo Yuan followed a few steps and decided not to stalemate anymore. There was strangeness everywhere here. Luo Yuan had already smelled a strong sense of crisis. If he was not here and there was danger in the villa, it would be too late to regret it.
He quickly walked to her and saw that Ning Xiaoran looked dull and his eyes were dull. Even when he stood in front of Luo Yuan, he seemed to have no idea.
This is definitely not a normal expression that should be seen by normal people. Luo Yuan's expression turned cold and he slowly pulled out the saber.
As Ning Xiaoran approached, the murderous intent in his heart became more and more intense. A terrifying aura emanated from him. The raindrops seemed to pause in the air, and even the surrounding air became restless. The grass seemed to have a stir, and countless low-level mutant beasts seemed to feel the arrival of death and ran wildly. Looking at the past, long green marks in the grass quickly disappeared from a distance, as if countless arrows were shot in all directions.
Just as Luo Yuan was preparing for a thunder attack, under this momentum, Ning Xiaoran's face suddenly twitched and his eyes kept rolling.
With a "moan", her eyes gradually recovered from anger, as if she was still a little confused, but it was much more normal than before.
Luo Yuan's momentum was restrained, but he did not dare to relax. He stared at her tightly, preparing to take action immediately if there was anything wrong.
"Ah! Brother Luo?" Ning Xiaoran seemed to wake up from a dream, looking at Luo Yuan with surprise, and his face turned red when he said.
Then she finally noticed the surrounding environment and said nervously: "Ah! I... why am I outside?"
"Don't you know you came here alone?" Luo Yuan asked in surprise.
"I'm alone?" Ning Xiaoran opened his mouth wide.
"You have been out for half an hour. If I don't come to find you, you will probably be bitten to death by the mutant beast. Think carefully about how you came here." Luo Yuan asked. If he didn't understand this matter for a day, he would not be able to feel at ease for a day.
Ning Xiaoran was so scared that she was about to cry. She was shocked and cold, and her body shook like a frightened quail: "I... I don't know, I don't know how I came here."
"Calm down first, think about it carefully, what were you doing before?" Luo Yuan reminded.
"I... I seem to be throwing garbage. I was thrown at the door, but later I felt that it would be better to throw it at the door... It's not good, and there is no danger of walking a few more steps... Next... I can't remember it next." Ning Xiaoran stuttered.
Luo Yuan's heart sank. This incident was too bizarre.
Seeing Ning Xiaoran's body trembling constantly, thinking that she was not in a hurry to do this, she said, "It's not too late, go back first, think about it later, but don't tell others about this."
"I...I understand!" Ning Xiaoran nodded repeatedly, looking around nervously, feeling scared.
Luo Yuan turned around and walked back, Ning Xiaoran hurriedly followed, hesitated for a moment, and plucked up the courage to carefully grab Luo Yuan's clothes, his face turned red.
More than ten minutes later, the two returned to the villa.
The food was already on the table, but Luo Yuan had not come back and no one ate first. They sat on the sofa and chatted. When Luo Yuan came back, they all stood up.
"Why did Ning Xiaoran go outside with me? I asked where the person was?" Huang Jiahui said in surprise, but her face looked a little ugly, and she tightly pinched the corner of her clothes. Seeing the two of them coming in almost snuggled together, she obviously thought of other aspects.
Wang Shishi snorted twice and looked at other places.
"I'll talk about this later. Don't be busy with food. Jiahui, go find a piece of clothing to change it for Ning Xiaoran. Cao Lin, go to the kitchen to cook some ginger soup, there is ginger in the kitchen, right?" Luo Yuan ordered.
Cao Lin quickly stood up: "Some, some!"
Huang Jiahui saw that Ning Xiaoran's lips were purple, which was obviously frozen. She didn't care about the discomfort in her heart and hurried to get the clothes.
Zhao Gang touched Jin Meili, she glared at Zhao Gang, and stood up reluctantly: "Do you want a bath towel?"
Seeing this, Zhao Gang was speechless to his wife and could not be a human being at all. Is it necessary to ask such things? Is it necessary to ask? I will know what to do if I wink at a moment.
After seeing Luo Yuan nodding, Jin Meizuo ran to the bathroom and lowered her eyebrows and handed it to Luo Yuan.
Luo Yuan waved his hand: "Give it to Ning Xiaoran!"
Seeing this, Wang Shishi snorted again, his lungs burst out, and his heart was so sad that it seemed that someone had snatched away his favorite toy. However, Luo Yuan was not in the mood to pay attention to Wang Shishi at this time, and kept thinking about Ning Xiaoran's consciousness being manipulated.
At this time, a system prompt sound suddenly sounded in my mind: "E-level task, find and eliminate the cause of the missing population in Jingyue Community, three days. Cancel/Confirm."
Luo Yuan paused, and it was indeed the same as he thought, and there was a problem here.
At the same time, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The e-level mission means that there should be a blue-level mutant beast behind this mission. He has killed several such mutant beasts.
Although it is not easy to complete, it will never make people feel desperate. As long as you are careful, it should be nothing serious.
No wonder there is no other high-level mutant beasts occupying such a large territory here. It turns out that one of them has already occupied.
But the only question is, where is this mutant beast?
He had already found almost all corners of Jingyue Community before, and had never found anything, and he had no clues. Thinking of this, he had a headache again. The biggest difficulty in this mission was obviously to find an opponent. If the opponent did not appear, it would mean that the mission would fail.
Luo Yuan didn't even think about it. After taking over the mission, he was undoubtedly the safest place than other territories occupied by the deep blue level. How can he struggle in the end of the world if he can't even survive.
After bringing the clothes, Ning Xiaoran changed her clothes, drank another bowl of ginger soup, and she was sweating profusely, and her face finally became rosy. It seemed that she would not catch a cold.
The atmosphere was a bit dull when eating. Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that Ning Xiaoran was definitely not normal this time, but they all wisely didn't ask much.
After dinner, Luo Yuan lit a cigarette, was silent for a while, and said in a vague manner: "Be careful tonight, everyone!"
Although Luo Yuan did not say it clearly, his potential meaning made everyone start to be frightened and his face changed.
Cao Lin pretended to be calm, but the pale face reflected the fear in her heart. She remembered the question of Ning Xiaoran's sudden disappearance, and couldn't help but look at Ning Xiaoran, but didn't get any answer.
The only person who can truly calm is Huang Jiahui.
