Crow's Paradise

Yao Yan has no way to confirm whether this Mo Senke was having his brain eaten when he wrote the letter.

However, another question is important.

Yao Yan's eyes turned to his surroundings.

According to Karina's memory, this letter was already in the drawer when she came here.

So, where did her brother Mo Senke write this letter?

If he was sitting at this table and writing, then, this room?

Could that "cat-like" monster, that man-eating monster, be in this room?

After taking a look at the chair, with Karina's memory, he could even imagine Mosenke sitting at the table writing a letter.

In the alert heart raised by the content of the letter, Yao Yan turned his eyes and let Karina cast her eyes to every corner of the room, looking for the so-called "weird cat" that might exist.

The result was not found.

After searching the drawers and under the bed again, and finding nothing relevant, Yao Yan left the room.

Standing in the hall, Yao Yan remained vigilant and looked towards other rooms.

There are only two bedrooms, and they belong to brother William.

Other than that, there are only the kitchen on the left side of the backyard and the toilet on the right side of the backyard.

Finally, there is a warehouse next to the kitchen.

Without entering the warehouse directly, Yao Yan glanced at the increasingly dark rainy night outside the window. Yao Yan returned to Karina's eldest brother William's room and picked up the lantern on the low bedside table next to the door.

When leaving the room, he waved to the location of the three crows——

Almost at the same time as he stretched out his hand, three crows flew over and landed on Karina's arm.

Looking at the three crows, Yao Yan paused, put down the lantern, opened the wardrobe, and took out a knee-length gray-blue coat and a cutting knife from the large bag inside.

After confirming that there was nothing similar to a cat hidden in the coat, Yao Yan put the short knife into his pocket and put on the coat at the same time.

The moment the coat was put on Karina, three crows also got into the coat.

In this case, it should be safer.

However, in order to protect the safety of crows, the price is to temporarily give up the method of using crows to monitor, observe, and alert.

However, this is also a safer method before confirming what the danger is in this small town.

After putting the flintlock pistol into his coat pocket to ensure that it could be taken out quickly, Yao Yan raised the lantern and walked to the warehouse with the sound of the door closing.

The kitchen and warehouse located in the left corner of the house are separated by a corridor of more than one meter, which leads directly to the backyard through the door. Above the closed door, there is a breathable window, through which the light of the rainy night falls. By then, there wasn't much left.

Yao Yan arrived at the kitchen door in the swaying light and shadow cast by his footsteps and the swaying of the lantern.

There was a creaking sound and the door opened. It was not dirty, but perhaps because of the rain, the kitchen seemed quite damp.

Rather than a stove, it should be said that it is a shelf made of civil engineering, standing next to the door.

Beside the "stove", there were scorched black marks on the wall. They were not smoke, but direct traces of fire, and

In this rather humid environment, those charred marks did not feel moist, as if they had just suffered a fire not long ago.

Such a situation made Yao Yan immediately tighten his attention and stare at the fire marks. He circled half a circle and got close to the wall where there were no fire marks.

However, nothing happened.

After thinking briefly, Yao Yan took out his pistol.

Karina's rough hands grasped the handle of the flintlock pistol, opened the powder cap, and took out the paper bullets.

And at this moment, Yao Yan felt something coming from behind, causing a sound of wind.

Almost instantly, Yao Yan's right hand, which was about to open the powder cover, turned and touched the right pocket.

At the same time, under his will, Karina squatted and rolled.

When Karina's body rolled up, she had already taken out the cutting knife from her pocket, and slashed towards her original position with her backhand.

If something were to pounce from that position, it would definitely be cut with a short knife.

but

No.

As if it was an illusion, he didn't see anything in his sight, including the crows poking their heads out of their coats.

but

That rumor is real.

Yao Yan confirmed that he must have heard it.

Cautiously, Karina stood up and looked around cautiously.

The whole time, nothing happened.

Is it an illusion? Or is it something that manifests as an illusion or the sound of wind?

With this thought in mind, Yao Yan asked Karina to stand up straight.

His eyes once again fell on the scorch marks on the wall.

The flintlock pistol was still in her left hand, the powder cap had been opened.

Continuing, Yao Yan continued the action of loading the medicine.

However, this time, it didn't matter whether it was using the crow's mouth to bite open the paper shell bullet, loading the gunpowder of the paper shell bullet into the gunpowder pool and closing the lid, or pushing the paper wrapped bullet through the barrel of the gun. occur.

Um?

Amidst doubts and a deeper level of alertness, Karina held the paper shell in her hand and poured the remaining gunpowder from the barrel, and finally stuffed the paper shell wrapped in a bullet ball into the barrel.

Still nothing happened.

However, when Yao Yan took out the gunpowder and prepared to compact the bullets and gunpowder, the sound of wind sounded from behind him again.

The right hand holding the metal rod and the cutting knife, at this moment, once again followed her sideways dodging movement, sliding towards the predicted trajectory of the things coming towards her.

but none.

When Karina's body fell to the ground, her vision did not capture anything.

Yao Yan glanced at some of the gunpowder caused by the fall, and controlled Karina's body to stand up again.

However, at this moment, the rumor started again!

Almost instantly, Yao Yan, who had been prepared based on his previous experience, made another anti-counterattack move toward the rear.

But at this moment, through the crow's head protruding from the side of Karina's coat, he saw a black figure emerge from the scorch marks on the wall and rush directly towards her position.

Karina raised her left hand suddenly, barely aimed at the charred part of the wall, and pulled the trigger.

boom! ! !

Immediately after the sound of flint knocking, a loud bang sounded in the dripping rainy night, penetrating the wall of the house and rushing into the rain curtain.

The lantern placed on the cabinet next to the kitchen door illuminated the dark shadows on the ground.

A few crows that were about to move between her coats also stopped at this time.

Driven by Yao Yan's will, the words that were about to come out of Karina's slightly opened mouth were swallowed back.
