"What was that just now?"
Twain panted as he bent over and held his knees.
"I don't know." Lu Sheng turned back to look at the direction of the villa. There seemed to be something indistinct moving in the haze.
"No matter what it is, we need to find someone to ask. Or find information that can help us understand this thing, "Lu Sheng said in a low voice.
The reason why he left so decisively instead of staying was because he felt that the knife was useless against the invisible monster.
"Information … Looks like we really have to go to the Isis Sect?" Twain wiped the blood off his face.
"Are you okay?" Lu Sheng saw that he was a little scary.
"I'm fine. Just my stomach is a little uncomfortable." Twain coughed.
Lu Sheng walked over and pressed a few key acupuncture points on his body. Although he had not been in this world for long, he was pretty much familiar with the basic structure of the human body. There were no problems with the general inspection.
"No problem. His internal organs are fine. It just looks scary. The blood is caused by the capillaries being squeezed and ruptured. He'll be fine after some rest. "
Lu Sheng concluded.
"Looks like I'm quite lucky," Twain said, a little relieved.
The two walked to a row of public seats by the street and sat down to rest.
Lu Sheng took out some drinks from the convenience store on the side. He opened a can each and finished it.
"We're homeless now. What do we do? Our food is there. "Twain was speechless.
"We'll go check tomorrow and see if the monster is still there," Lu Sheng replied. "Also, we need to find someone from the Isis Sect."
"Then how do you suggest we do it? Maybe we'll really be dead in two months." Twain leaned back on the chair, looking bored.
He was a very careless guy. After all, he could live at home with an anomaly for six years. If it was someone else, they would have gone crazy.
The fact that he was not crazy proved that he was mentally resilient.
"Depends on the situation. Observe this thing first. With such a big commotion, there will definitely be other guys coming. We can take the opportunity to ask a few people who know about the situation," Lu Sheng said simply.
Twain wanted to say more, but he saw Lu Sheng put his index finger to his mouth. Shh.
He quickly stopped talking and listened carefully to the sounds around him.
A series of extremely subtle footsteps were moving quickly from their right, running far away from the villa.
Lu Sheng closed his eyes and listened carefully.
"Over there!" Abruptly, he took a big stride forward and covered a distance of more than ten meters in a few steps. He crashed into a clothing store on the side of the street.
Tang En followed closely. By the time he caught up from the back door of the clothing store, he had already seen Lu Sheng holding a short old woman in his hand.
"What are you doing! What are you doing!! I am alive! Let me go! "
The old woman shouted in a strange accent.
"Shut up! Of course we know you're alive! "
Lu Sheng slapped the old woman's face, and her screams immediately stopped.
The old woman felt dizzy from the slap and seemed to be a little confused.
"What are you running for? Do you know what happened over there? "Lu Sheng asked in a deep voice.
"It's a monster! An invisible monster is coming. Aren't you going to run? Are you going to stay here and wait for death!? "The old woman heard the question and immediately came to her senses and began to shout again.
She was wearing a grayish-black robe and her clothes were a mess. It was unknown how long it had been since she last bathed, but she gave off a sour smell.
"Let's find a safe place to interrogate," Lu Sheng said in a deep voice. He carried the old woman in one hand and ran away from the villa.
Twain also hurried to catch up.
The three of them ran all the way. In the dark of the night, there were gradually more black figures on the street.
These figures ran away from the direction of the villa.
If it wasn't for the incident, he would not have known that there were so many people hiding in this place.
Lu Sheng did a quick count. Just around him, there were three living people.
He quickly turned a corner and ran towards a living person, intending to catch another person to ask about the situation.
"You're crazy!!" Suddenly, the old woman in his hand burst out cursing. "That's a runner! If you run around with him, who knows where you'll be taken to! Everyone who had been following the Runner had disappeared! There are no exceptions! "
"A runner?"
"When they appear, they keep running. They suddenly appear and suddenly disappear. But it's said that if you run with them, you'll unknowingly enter a completely unfamiliar world. Maybe it's the deepest part of the world's darkness. Or maybe it's some other unknown abyss. "
The old woman chattered on.
"In any case, those who follow them don't have a good ending. A runner is always running. Everyone who sees them will only see them running. "
Lu Sheng carefully looked at the person in front of him. Sure enough, it was just as the old woman said. The person did not have the unique movement rhythm of a living person. It was as if there was only one rhythm from beginning to end.
Although he could almost feel the person's breathing and heartbeat, this feeling was too fake, too real.
It was as if the person was just a shadow.
"Get out of here, quick! The breath of a living person will attract the monster! "The old woman screamed crazily.
Lu Sheng carried her and ran all the way. About ten minutes later, the three of them sat down in a cafe to rest.
Twain and the old woman saw that Lu Sheng, who had run all the way with a person in his arms, was only panting slightly. They immediately felt that it was unbelievable.
"Okay, I just have a little stamina. Now, tell me, what are you running for? What do you know? "Lu Sheng ignored the two's dull look and stared directly at the old woman in a black robe.
"Is this how you treat an old person like me? Is this how you treat an elder? "The old woman shrieked.
"Alright, alright. Cut the crap." Lu Sheng said impatiently, "If you don't want to be crippled by me, you'd better listen to me and cooperate."
"I want to eat, I want to drink, I want to take a bath, I want to sleep, I want …"
Lu Sheng slammed his palm down on the table in front of her. The wooden surface of the table cracked open with a loud "kacha".
"I … I need to organize my thoughts …"
The old woman was stunned and added the last sentence in a daze.
Two minutes later, Twain, who could not stand it anymore, found some edible biscuits from the cafe and threw them to the old woman.
She wolfed down the biscuits and let out a satisfied sigh.
"How long has it been since you last ate?" Twain was speechless.
"I've been hiding in the basement for fourteen days! I've only eaten a little bit of biscuits every day, and since yesterday, I've already finished my last bit of food. This old man hasn't eaten anything for a full twenty-seven hours! "
The old woman replied as she chewed.
"Tell me, what do you know. What were you hiding from just now? "Lu Sheng asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, the old woman chuckled.
"What was I hiding from? Didn't you all meet it? That invisible monster. "
"What invisible monster? How did you know?" Lu Sheng continued to ask.
"The people of Isis like to call it Fateen." The old woman laughed shrilly. "You want to know information, right? Give me food and anti-inflammatory medicine in exchange! "
"Let me tell you, I know a lot more than you think. I used to be a member of the Isis Sect. I've been in contact with their pale bishop. Let me tell you, he's a real big shot! "
The old woman looked confident.
"Aren't you afraid of death?" Lu Sheng clenched his fists, making cracking sounds.
"I want food! I want anti-inflammatory medicine! Otherwise, I won't tell you even if you kill me!! "The old woman screamed.
After that, no matter how Lu Sheng threatened her, she looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
The two of them had no choice but to let Twain watch over her while Lu Sheng went around to search for food and medicine.
They could still find some food, but there was really no anti-inflammatory medicine.
Food kept piling up in front of the old woman, but she kept saying that it was not enough. She needed anti-inflammatory medicine before she was willing to speak.
However, Twain had checked the nearest pharmacies, and the anti-inflammatory medicine inside had long been taken away.
Unknowingly, they tossed and turned all night, and the sky finally brightened.
"Looking at the time, the monster should be gone. Do you have medicine at your place? Let me make this clear, without hard currency like anti-inflammatory medicine, I won't say a word!" The old woman seemed to see that Lu Sheng and Twain needed her information, and looked like she had something to rely on.
Lu Sheng planned to use psychological guidance on this woman if she did not cooperate. Although their physiological structure was different, it might work if he gave it a try.
The three of them sneaked back to the villa.
The villa was still in a mess, but because they did not know when the monster would return, Twain quickly picked up all the medicine he could get and took it away.
All the medicine was packed in a handbag.
After leaving the villa, the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief in a nearby basement, and could rest for a while.
The basement was next to a shop, and they did not know what kind of underground warehouse it was used to store.
It was a large area, at least a hundred square meters. It was filled with all kinds of wooden boxes, and small metal parts could be seen scattered on the ground from the outside of the boxes.
Crash.
The bag containing the medicine was placed on the table in front of the old woman.
"Tell me, old woman. Is this enough?" Twain said impatiently.
"Don't call me old woman, call me Angela! Hehe, it's enough. If there's more, maybe I can give you more advice. "The old woman smiled greedily.
"Cut the crap. Tell me, what do you know?" Lu Sheng said with a frown.
"Hehehe … Do you want to know about Fa Dien, or something else?" The old woman Angela hugged the bag of medicine, and began to check the things inside with great familiarity.
"Let's talk about Fa Dien first," Lu Sheng said.
"Let me say this first. When I was still in Isis, I came into contact with the White Knights who were doing the search and rescue. They told me that Fa Dien cannot be destroyed. It is invisible, and it has an invisible body and great power. It has inexhaustible endurance … "
The smile on Angela's face slowly disappeared. She lowered her head and spoke slowly in a sinister tone.
"So, Fa Dien cannot be resisted. It is more like an active natural phenomenon, and a natural phenomenon that cannot be resisted. "
"The key is, where did this thing come from?" Twain was speechless.
