The Death List Novel - Chapter 733
Chapter 733 Intersection
“Huala!” Donald and the female Samsara popped their heads out of the water and carried Fanny and Steinson into the sampan.
“Damn it, it’s all my fault!” Donald patted the side of the sampan regretfully. The other party’s tricks weren’t complicated, but it just aimed at their psychological blind spots, turning them from hunters into prey.
When Donald realized that something was wrong and turned around, he only found the corpses of two of his companions. When they found Fanny and Steinson underwater, they didn’t dare to stay any longer and carefully prepared to swim across the drowning section of the river.
Qin Lun, who didn’t know where he was hiding, didn’t attack again and let them get on the sampan smoothly.
“Boss, why didn’t he kill Fanny and Steinson?” The female Samsara asked with a pale face.
Although Fanny and Steinson were unconscious, they wore oxygen bags that looked like pig diapers on their faces and did not drown.
“My judgment is wrong!” Donald calmed down and said regretfully, “Our main mission is to protect Ellen and the others in the Reaper Game, and our side mission is to help Wilson’s team eliminate the outdated Reaper Game at the level of world laws and give birth to more hidden and mysterious powers.”
The advantage of doing so is that it protects the growing magical laws of this world. As for the Samsara guild, they needed to destroy the storyline as much as possible, exposing the Reaper Game to the public, thus triggering the collapse of the magical laws, allowing the world to move towards pure technology and civilization.
I thought my opponents would kill the characters one by one, but that’s not accurate. Actually, the opponent was not aiming to kill the characters in the plot, but to expand the influence of the incident by killing people, so that the public would realize the existence of the mysterious power.
That was why Wilson and Luke had died in the camp where the crowd had gathered. And now that Fanny and Steinson have died here without any audience, it naturally doesn’t meet his requirements … ”
Donald didn’t know about Apostle’s existence, so he could only make this kind of reluctant explanation. This was a disguised explanation for Qin Lun’s actions.
Soon, Donald brought the female Samsara and two unconscious storyline characters to meet Alan and the others waiting outside the cave. They lied that the female reincarnator was also one of the hostages taken by the monsters. Those monsters abandoned the hostages halfway, allowing him to successfully rescue Fanny and Steinson.
As for Qin Lun, Donald lied to them and said that his whereabouts were unknown. Because Steinson was seriously injured and needed to be treated as soon as possible, Allen and the others had no choice but to wait for Qin Lun to return. After making a few eye-catching signs nearby, they chose to leave.
As Allen and the others followed along, along with Donald and Qin Lun’s battle in the cave, time quietly passed. Unknowingly, the sun was already on the west side, and by the afternoon of the next day.
At this time, Hill and the others, who had rushed to Acadia National Park early in the morning and had to rest in the field camp due to fatigue, had also woken up and joined the search team formed by the Acadia police and civilians.
The impact of last night’s riots is still fermenting, and Maine police have deployed a large number of police to work with rangers in Acadia National Park to search and rescue the edge of the forest.
In addition to the passengers who died in the camp last night, they found several other bodies, including Carmen, in the forest near the camp. However, the search and rescue operation had only just begun, and there were at least more than ten missing persons on the passenger list obtained by the police from the travel agency.
Of course, Arcadia National Park is simply too big. Not only does it have the Cadillac Mountains, which are more than 460 meters tall, but it also has the real Ocean Fjord, the Sams Sand Fjord.
Mountains, glaciers, primeval forests, fjords, karst caves, underground rivers. The terrain of this island was simply too complicated. Even if more than ten thousand search and rescue personnel were invested, they wouldn’t dare to say that they would definitely be able to find those missing.
Besides, who knew if they were already dead? If they were eaten by the animals in the forest or fell into the fjords, they would definitely not even be able to find their corpses.
However, with so many deaths and disappearances that even FBI agents and National Geographic reporters were alarmed, Maine police did not dare to give up prematurely and could only cooperate with rangers and volunteers to search the surrounding forest.
Hill and the others are now volunteers in a search-and-rescue team led by a ranger. Of course, they only needed an excuse to stay here and avoid the eyes and ears of those who wanted to. They could do whatever they wanted.
“Hill, have you seen the wound on that corpse?” Grant leaned over to Shepherd and asked.
The five members of the Killer Demon Team were all skilled in killing, but Hill and Qin Lun were more familiar with the structure of the human body. They could often find more clues on the corpses.
“Yes, I observed it from afar. Although I can’t reach the corpse, I don’t think it was caused by the creatures that people call the Fjords.” Hill rubbed his chin and said, “Looks like a human wound.”
“Don’t you think that humans and monsters have interfered?” Grant asked curiously, “I admit that the wound on the neck of the corpse was too flat, like a knife beheading, but the big hole in his chest must have been made by a large animal with its claws, right?”
“Haha, the wound on your neck is actually nothing. Anyone with some common sense knows that it was slashed by a knife, but the most important thing is the wound on your chest.” Hill smiled confidently. “That wound is well camouflaged. Unless it is examined with professional forensic equipment, most people think that it was captured by an animal. In fact, it is not …”
“Oh?” Hearing Hill’s words, a few of their companions surrounded them with interest, and even Qin Mei pricked up her ears.
“It’s a cold weapon disguised as an animal’s claw. It’s an iron claw attached to a human hand.” Hill smiled and said, “Although the wound looks similar on the outside, you should know the width of the animal’s claws and the shape of its fingers are always different from that of a human hand.”
“You can even tell this with the naked eye!” Everyone looked at Hill strangely.
“Cough cough, I’ve used it before …” Hill said calmly.
“No wonder!” Everyone suddenly realized that before Old Fraud became Apostle, he was a priest, so it was impossible for him to use his iron claws to fight. The only place where iron claws could be used was when they were used as human chefs.
“So you and Qin Mei agreed to follow this clue to find Qin Lun?” Rand asked thoughtfully.
“That’s right, the riot was over when we came here. From the mouths of those ordinary people, we definitely wouldn’t know the truth about what happened last night. On the contrary, the dead can give us the most useful information.” Hill nodded.
“That corpse may be an important storyline character, or it may be an unrelated character, but at least one thing is for sure, he is involved in a storyline. As long as we find out who killed him, we will definitely be able to participate in the storyline of Arcadia and find the storyline character or reincarnation person that intersects with Kieran.”
After having a clear goal, Hill and the others made rapid progress. They gradually left the search and rescue team and headed deeper into Acadia National Park. The surroundings slowly turned into a silent primeval forest.
However, the direction they were heading in was completely different from the direction the Fjords had escaped from last night. Not only did he not approach Bowl Lake, he was facing the opposite direction. It seemed impossible for him to meet Qin Lun.
“Suo Suo Suo!” Suspicious movements came from the bushes in front of everyone.
“Who? Come out?” Hill and the others dispersed. Although they had weapons in their hands, they did not shoot. They did not sense any danger.
Unlike Qin Lun, even though Hill and the others had entered this world, they had encountered many prehistoric beasts that could be called mysterious powers in the Columbia Rainforest. However, the threat that the prehistoric beasts posed to Apostle was different from the game of death. They still didn’t have Qin Lun’s sense of danger.
“Suo Suo Suo!” The sound from the bushes got closer and closer. Just as Hill and the others were on high alert, the bushes in front of them suddenly split apart. A ragged, barefoot western beauty fell out of the bushes.
She didn’t seem to notice the people in front of her at all. After falling down, she used her four limbs and crawled crazily forward. However, she still turned her head and stared closely behind her, as if a ferocious beast was chasing after her.
“She’s one of the missing girls!” Everyone exchanged glances. The people involved in the search and rescue looked at the sketches released by the rangers and the police.
“You’re not suitable” Rand reached out to stop Grant, who was about to step forward, and raised his chin to Qin Mei, signaling her to appease the girl.
“F*ck!” Grant retreated embarrassedly, but did not insist on going forward.
Even though Apostle had entered every quest world, the Laws Body had to be reconstructed. However, this kind of shaping usually had a certain pattern, such as gender, appearance, and so on. They would often refer to Apostle’s main body.
After Apostle possessed the Laws Body, most Apostle would use numbers to measure their combat strength, just like Qin Lun’s numeric attributes on the death list. In fact, each Apostle generalizes a different type of data, and some Apostle generalizes their appearances to a number.
Appearance data were related to Apostle’s bloodline, personality, gender, and so on. In this respect, Qin Lun’s Elves bloodline, coupled with his disguised gentleness, often made him look more handsome.
Grant’s bloodline was a virus, a giant, and his inferior twisted personality. The appearance he created was always very ugly. Asking him to appease the girl in front of him would only have the opposite effect.
“You … who are you?” Under Qin Mei’s pacification, the girl’s eyes gradually became focused and she regained a bit of her rationality.
“Don’t worry, we’re search and rescue personnel. You’re safe now!” Qin Mei gently encouraged the girl. At this time, she could not see the evil character of the Demon Charm at all. “What’s your name? Did you see any other missing people?”
“Wow ~ ~ ~” The girl was stunned for a moment, then suddenly hugged Qin Mei and cried loudly. She could only roll her eyes and endure her temper to continue comforting her.
If Qin Lun was here, he would immediately recognize that the girl was one of the important characters in the plot, Wilson’s beautiful girlfriend-Karin.
