Chapter 23 Intersection
"Crash!" Donald and the female reincarnator emerged from under the water and brought Fanny and Stanton on their backs into the sampan.
"Damn it, it's all my fault!" Donald slapped the shore of the sampan with regret. The opponent's trick was not complicated, but just happened to aim at their psychological blind spots, turning them from hunters to prey.
When Donald found out that something was wrong, he only found the bodies of the other two companions. After they found Fanny and Stanthan at the bottom of the water, they did not dare to stay anymore, and swam across the drowning section in a small way.
Qin Lun, who didn't know where he was hiding, did not attack again and let them get on the sampan successfully.
"Boss, why didn't he kill Fanny and Statham?" asked the female reincarnation man with a pale face.
Although Fanny and Statson were unconscious, they wore oxygen bags like pig urine bubbles on their faces and did not drown.
"My judgment is wrong!" Donald calmed down and said regretfully, "Our main task is to protect Allen and others in the Death Game, and the side line is to help Wilson's team, so as to eliminate the Death Game with backward rules at the level of world laws, and give birth to more secret mysterious powers.
The advantage of doing this is to protect the magical laws that are gradually growing in the world. As a team of reincarnators with relative tasks, they need to try their best to destroy the plot line and expose the game of death to the public, thereby inducing the collapse of magical laws and allowing the world to move towards pure technology to civilization.
I originally thought that the opponent would kill the characters in the plot one by one, but this judgment was inaccurate. The opponent did not actually aim to kill the characters in the plot, but instead used the murder to expand the influence of the incident and let the public realize the existence of mysterious powers.
Wilson and Luke died in a crowded camp, which was the purpose. Now that Fanny and Statham died here, there was no audience, so naturally they did not meet his requirements…”
Donald had no idea of the existence of the apostle, so he could only make such a reluctant explanation, which was a disguised explanation of Qin Lun's behavior.
Soon, Donald brought the female reincarnation person and two coma characters to meet up with Allen and others waiting outside the cave. He lied that the female reincarnation person was also one of the hostages that were taken away by monsters. The monsters discarded the hostages halfway, allowing him to successfully rescue Fanny and Stanthan.
As for Qin Lun, Donald lied to them that his whereabouts were unknown. Because Statham was seriously injured and needed to be sent to the hospital as soon as possible, Allen and others had to stop waiting for Qin Lun to come back. After making several eye-catching signs nearby, they chose to leave.
As Allen and others followed along, and with the competition between Donald and Qin Lun in the cave, time passed quietly, and before they knew it, the sun was already westward, and it was the afternoon of the next day.
At this time, Hill and others who rushed to Arcadia National Park in the early morning, but were tired of having to rest in the field camp, woke up and joined the search team composed of Arcadia police and civilians.
The impact of the riots last night was still fermenting. Maine police have dispatched a large number of police forces to cooperate with the rangers in Arcadia National Park to conduct search and rescue on the edge of the forest.
In addition to the passengers who died suddenly at the campsite last night, they found several other bodies in the forest near the camp, including Carmen. However, the search and rescue operation had just begun. There were at least more than ten missing persons from the list of passengers obtained by the police from the travel agency.
Of course, Arcadia National Park is too big. Not only does it have Cadillac Mountain up to 460 meters high, but it also has a real Ocean Fjord - Samus Sand Fjord.
Mountains, glaciers, primeval forests, fjords, caves, underground rivers, the terrain of this island is too complicated. Even if tens of thousands of people are invested in search and rescue, I dare not say that I will definitely find the missing people.
Besides, who knows if they are dead? If they are eaten by animals in the forest or fall into the fjord, they will definitely not be able to retrieve their bodies.
However, because of the excessive number of deaths and missing people this time, even FBI agents and National Geographic reporters were alarmed, so the police in Maine did not dare to give up too early and could only cooperate with forest rangers and volunteers to search the surrounding forests.
Hill and others now join a search and rescue team commanded by a forest ranger as volunteers. Of course, they only need an excuse to stay here, avoid the eyes and ears of those who are interested, and do whatever they want to do.
"Hill, have you seen the wound of that corpse?" Grant asked to approach the shepherd.
The five members of the murderer team are all skilled in killing, but Hill and Qin Lun are more familiar with human body structures, and they can often find more clues on the corpse.
"Well, I observed it from a distance. Although I couldn't get the body, I don't think it was done by those creatures called fjord monsters." Hill said, touching his chin, "From the wound, it seems like it was done by humans."
"Don't you think humans and monsters have been inserted into one hand?" Grant asked with a strange look. "I admit that the wound on the neck of the corpse was too flat, like a decapitation of the blade, but the big hole in his chest must have been dug by a large animal with his claws, right?"
"Haha, the wound on the neck is actually nothing. People with some common sense know it was cut by a knife, but the point is the injury on the chest." Hill smiled confidently, "The wound is very well disguised. Unless it is used to examine it with professional forensic equipment, most people think it was caught by animals, but it is not actually..."
"Oh?" Hearing Hill's words, several companions next to them surrounded him with interest, and even Qin Mei had her ears raised.
"That is a cold weapon disguised as animal claws, and the iron claws are placed on human hands." Hill said with a faint smile. "Although the wound looks similar on the surface, you must know that the width of the animal claws and the shape of the five fingers are always different from the human hands."
"You can even tell this with your naked eyes!" Everyone looked at Hill with a strange look.
"Ahem, I've used it before..." Hill said calmly.
"No wonder!" Everyone suddenly realized that the old charlatan was a priest before becoming an apostle, and it was impossible to use iron claws to fight. The only place where iron claws could come in handy was definitely when they were a human chef.
"So you and Qin Mei both agreed to follow this clue to find Qin Lun?" Rand asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, when we came here, the riots had ended. From the mouths of ordinary people, we would definitely not be able to know the truth about the incident last night. Instead, the dead can give us the most useful information." Hill nodded and said.
"That body may be an important plot character or an irrelevant person, but at least one thing is certain, that is, he was involved in a certain plot line. As long as he finds the murderer who killed him, we will definitely be able to participate in the plot line of Arcadia and find the plot characters or reincarnation figures who have some interaction with Qin Lun."
After having a clear goal, Hill and others made rapid progress. They gradually left the search and rescue brigade and advanced towards the depths of Arcadia National Park. The surrounding environment slowly turned into a quiet primeval forest.
However, the direction they were moving forward at this time was completely contrary to the direction where the fjord sea monster escaped last night. Not only did they not approach Wanhu, but they were in the opposite direction, and it seemed impossible to meet Qin Lun.
"Soon!" Suspicious movements came from the bushes in front of everyone.
"Who? Come out?" Hill and others dispersed. Although they had weapons in their hands, they did not fire and did not sense any danger.
Unlike Qin Lun, although Hill and others entered this world, they encountered many prehistoric monsters that could also be called mysterious powers in the Columbia Rainforest. However, the threat of prehistoric monsters to the apostles is different from the game of death, and they do not have the sense of crisis of Qin Lun.
"Soon!" The sound from the bushes became closer and closer. Just as Hill and others were alert, the bushes in front of them suddenly separated, and a ragged and barefoot Western beauty fell out of it.
She seemed to have not noticed the few people in front of her. After falling down, she used her limbs and crawled forward frantically. But she still turned her head and stared at her, as if a beast was chasing her.
"I am one of the missing girls!" Everyone looked at each other, and the personnel involved in the search and rescue had seen the sketches released by the forest rangers and the police.
"You are not suitable..." Rand reached out to stop Grant who wanted to step forward, raised his chin to Qin Mei next to him, and signaled her to comfort the girl.
"Damn!" Grant stepped down awkwardly, but no longer insisted on going forward.
Although the apostle enters every mission world, the law body must be reshaped. However, this kind of shape generally has certain rules, such as gender, appearance, etc., which are often referenced to the apostle's body.
After the apostle possesses the body of the law, most apostles will use numerical values to measure their combat power, just like Qin Lun's data-based attributes on the death list. In fact, the types of data summarized by each apostle are different, and some apostles also summarize a numerical value for appearance.
Appearance data are related to the apostle's bloodline, personality, gender, etc. From this perspective, Qin Lun obtained the elf bloodline, coupled with the mild character of disguised, often reshaped the laws and bodies are more handsome.
Grant's bloodline is both virus and giant, and his inferiority distorted personality makes his appearance always ugly. Letting him comfort the girl in front of him will definitely have the opposite effect.
"You... who are you?" Under Qin Mei's comfort, the girl's eyes gradually became focal, and she slightly regained her rationality.
"Don't worry, we are search and rescue personnel, you are safe!" Qin Mei encouraged the girl gently, but at this time she could not see the evil character of the evil ghost at all. "What's your name? Have you seen other missing people?"
"Wow~~~" The girl was stunned for a while, and suddenly hugged Qin Mei and cried loudly, which made her roll her eyes and patiently continue to comfort her.
Chapter completed!
