Old William supported his body with difficulty, using his elbows and legs to stagger into the cave.

Sticky blood dripped onto the ground, and the ground bulged. Roots as thick as fingers emerged, sucking up all the blood like a suction cup, and swam towards Old William with a fierce look.

Jian Jing secretly cried out that it was not good.

How could she forget that the giant tree feeds on the blood of animals. The previous explosion must have caused it damage. When it encountered the bleeding old William, wouldn't it be like a shark that smelled blood and would not let go? She

quickly took out her gun to cut off the roots.

"William!" she shouted, "Go."

Old William turned his head, his eyes red, and he burst out with great strength again, rushing straight towards her.

Jian Jing dodged and tried to grab his arm and drag him out.

It was so heavy that it was almost impossible to move.

When she turned around again, Qi Tian, ​​who had just been lying in the corner, was gone.

She laughed in anger. One was crazy and mad, and the other was a wicked man. Even if she had three heads and six arms, she couldn't save them. In this case, don't blame her for

cutting off the source of the trouble. No matter whether you go there on your own initiative or are summoned, I will block your way first.

She still has one last bomb.

Jian Jing placed it in the passage of the cave, and was going to detonate it after leaving to prevent future troubles.

Now, let's explode it in advance.

[System: Timed bomb has been set, countdown 5, 4, 3, 2, 1——]

"Bang!"

The ground shook.

A large stone shook for a moment, and fell from the top of the head. Old William roared angrily, and rushed towards her like an enraged bear.

Jian Jing was waiting for him, so she turned around and ran.

Old William chased him out, and huge rocks were falling behind him with crackling sounds.

The ground was shaking and the noise continued. It seemed that the third bomb had completely destroyed the ancient cave, and it began to collapse uncontrollably.

Jian Jing walked and provoked, and successfully led Old William out of the shaky cave.

The trees outside were affected, and the thick branches broke and fell, and together with countless rubbles, they completely blocked the entrance to the cave.

Old William was hit on the shoulder by a huge tree, and fell to the ground with a "thump".

Jian Jing felt relieved.

But immediately, she thought of another key problem.

The cave is hidden deep in the forest. She could only find the way smoothly by following Qi Tian. Now his ability has disappeared. How can she leave this endless woods?

The system should issue her a wilderness survival mission.

[System: After detection, the environment has not yet reached the mission standard]

Jian Jing: "..." Just a complaint.

She attached the locator to the back of old William's collar and did not take him with her for the time being, so as not to wake up and be attacked halfway.

As for the route, is the pearl still there?

She half-knelt on the ground and dug, and fortunately found that the pearl was not lost, and was stuck in the gap between some stones.

Good luck.

Jian Jing walked back carefully while looking for the marked pearl. About half an hour later, she found the entrance to the farm's underground passage, hidden behind a bush.

There was only one route after entering the underground passage made of roots.

She turned on the flashlight. Not sure if it was affected by the entity, the roots here had completely lost their vitality and turned into dry and fragile branches, entwined around the wall and broken at the touch.

I hope it won't collapse. Jian Jing prayed silently and quickened her pace.

Fifteen minutes later, the road came to an end.

In the cage in the basement, old Frank had disappeared.

It must be Qi Tian. Jian Jing was afraid that he would attack her by surprise, so she immediately changed her perspective, but she saw the trees that were constantly retreating and the rugged path.

He drove away!

He ran away and even sealed the entrance and exit.

Jian Jing opened the perspective device and confirmed that the upper part was not only plugged with a bolt, but also had a heavy object turned upside down. Even if she immediately increased her strength to 10, reaching the limit of human beings, it would probably be difficult to push it open from the bottom.

This way was blocked, and she could only look for other exits.

The black-tech glasses switched to thermal imaging devices.

A human figure was found.

She was not sure if it was old Frank or someone else, so she moved over cautiously.

The entrance to the passage was open, and faint "bleating" and "bleating" sounds came from it.

She pushed open the movable board, looked out, and was shocked.

Jiang Baiyan was holding a white lamb and skillfully combing its wool with his fingers.

"Why are you in the sheep pen?" She flipped out the exit, closed the movable board, and looked around in disbelief. Yes, this is the sheep pen in Frank's farm.

"Jingjing!" Jiang Baiyan was extremely surprised. "Are you okay?"

Jian Jing was covered in dust, and his exposed skin was slightly scratched, but not serious: "I'm fine, how about you?"

He leaned over his face: "I was slapped."

Jian Jing saw that it was still a little swollen: "What happened?"

Jiang Baiyan simply explained his experience and added: "Old William chased me like crazy, and I didn't know where I ran to, and where I was. I thought I was dead, but he chased me halfway and suddenly left me behind, rushing into the woods. "I want to go back, but I can't find the way."

He said, touching the lamb in his arms, with a dazed look on his face: "Not long after, the white sheep appeared again, and took me all the way back to the farm. But I didn't dare to go into the house for fear of being ambushed, so I had to hide here. Well, except for being a little smelly, it's quite warm."

Jian Jing frowned.

What kind of bizarre copy is this? Giant strange trees, weird owls, lambs guiding the forest, where did they come from?

"Is this the white sheep?" She squatted down and poked the furry lamb.

"No, it's a little bigger. This one is very small. But," he lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "there are so many sheep here, but it's the only one that can bleat."

Jian Jing was skeptical and poked the gazelle next to him.

The gazelle lowered its head and chewed on the grass leaves, ignoring them.

She had to put aside these doubts for the time being and said, "Old William is still in the woods, we have to save him. Have you seen old Frank?"

Jiang Baiyan shook his head.

The two had to call the police first.

The town's police force was not satisfactory, and after waiting for more than an hour, two policemen came. Jian Jing did not make a fuss, only saying that they went into the forest to hunt, but encountered an accident and the guide was injured.

With the help of the positioning device, she quickly led them to find the unconscious old William.

He was immediately sent to the hospital, and the police also suggested that they go for a physical examination.

"You have a good smell on you." An older policeman said, "Did you eat some mushrooms?"

Jian Jing thought to herself, what mushrooms, do you think it's Yunnan? But then she thought again and was shocked to find something wrong.

"What smell?" she asked.

The police said, "We have a kind of fungus called giant mushroom here. It tastes good and smells very fragrant, but it is easy to produce hallucinations of giant things. Have you really never eaten it?"

Jian Jing asked, "What does it look like?"

The police described it as, "It's very small, the size of a finger, and gray-black."

Jiang Baiyan also remembered, "It can't be the one that old William stuffed into the roast chicken at noon on the first day."

Jian Jing's face twitched, and he said decisively, "Okay, let's check it out too."

So they went into the hospital together to clean the wound and do blood tests.

While waiting for the results, a commotion broke out in the operating room. Jian Jing curiously approached the isolation door, only to hear old William, who was supposed to be anesthetized, repeating a word loudly.

"Sheep!"

"Sheep!"

"Sheep!"

At first, the doctor just wanted to control him and didn't care about what he said. But after hearing what he said, the female doctor who performed the operation suddenly screamed: "Teresa!!"

She rushed over fiercely and hysterically: "It's you?! Did you kill my child?" She

asked while crying like a madman.

Jian Jing felt pity in her heart.

It seems that in addition to Old Reed, the relatives of other victims have never forgotten.

"Jing Jing." Jiang Baiyan asked softly, "Did he kill her?"

Jian Jing thought about it and said, "I think so."

"He said he didn't kill Kelly. He went into the woods after Kelly disappeared and met an owl." Jiang Baiyan was still confused, "What does owl mean?"

She shook her head, her mind a little confused.

At this point, the whole story is divided into two parts, one is fantasy or science fiction, and the other is materialistic reality.

The giant tree, curse, owl, lamb, and Indian legend belong to the former; Kelly's disappearance, the murder of five teenagers, the disappearance of one of the couples, and arson belong to the latter.

From Reed's investigation, William has a reliable alibi and no time to commit the crime. He may have lured Kelly into the forest, but did he kill Kelly?

You know, after Kelly disappeared, the people in the town conducted many searches. So many people didn't find her, but William found her quickly, killed her, and abandoned her body in the wilderness?

Unless they have a special secret location, Kelly was attacked that night and lost her autonomy, which could have caused this situation.

However, what is the motive?

William did not seem to have the motive to kill Kelly.

This behavior pattern is completely different from the method of killing five teenagers later.

Relatively speaking, Jian Jing is more inclined to believe that Kelly was not killed by William.

But the five teenagers were.

Reed's diary mentioned that William appeared at the crime scene ten years later.

Was he abnormal at this time? He said that he met an owl. Does it mean that he had entered the white cave and was affected by the giant tree, and his personality showed a violent side?

Then why did he warn them not to stay in the forest after dark?

Was it a tactic of playing hard to get, or was it that he was not aware of his abnormality and only vaguely remembered that something terrible had appeared in the forest?

"It's so annoying." She pressed her forehead, having a headache because of this special mission.

Forget it, let's take a look at Qi Tian first.

She closed her eyes and peeked at what Qi Tian saw.

The forest.

He was still hiding in the forest.

Jian Jing thought for a moment, borrowed a phone from the nurse at the service desk, and called the police station: "I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered that little Frank went into the forest and never came back. Maybe he also encountered an accident..."

Two days later.

The case in 1992 was solved.

The police found a knife in old William's house, which was stained with the blood of several dead people. After verification, it was consistent with their wounds. The knife also has a lot of old William's fingerprints.

For some reason, he never regained his sanity and just kept repeating the words "sheep" and "owl".

But no matter what, the evidence is irrefutable and the mission is accomplished.

System decoding.

[Mission name: Frank's Farm (Completed)]

[Description: 30 years ago, five teenagers were brutally murdered. The suspect is someone else. What secrets are hidden under the farm? Who is calling for the devil to come in the depths of the forest? [

Mission Reward: Successfully find the real murderer and capture him alive, reward 30 points of courage, cause damage to the giant tree, save innocent souls, reward 20 points of special contribution]

This is good news, but there is also bad news.

Once the special mission is over, the limited card of "Borrowing Vision" can no longer be used.

Qi Tian has not been found yet.
