On killing the protagonist

The sudden disappearance of Levi's bones undoubtedly shocked everyone greatly.

Obviously before they went up to the roof, they also confirmed that he was lying in the corner well.

And the big snake that sucked him dry was also shot by Yang Buyan in the following time, and it was impossible to return to devour the bones.

"Where did he go?" Lu Yanping asked in horror.

"Could it be swallowed by those big snakes?" Ye Qiu hypothesized.

Ye Hanjiang shook his head: "Impossible, if they can swallow the corpse, there is no need for the big snake to spit him out."

He looked into the empty corner: "And I have noticed that since we went upstairs, no big snake has approached here at all. In such a short period of time, it is impossible to move a corpse out of the building with those silver snakes alone." arrive."

"Why do you say they don't eat corpses?" Yang Buyan questioned, "Did you forget how Ma Ke died?"

Ye Hanjiang was immediately speechless by his question. In fact, this was also strange to him. The big snake swallowed Ma Ke whole on the first day, but why did it suck Levi's alive into a mummified corpse on the second day? Spit it out?

Seeing that he couldn't answer, Yang Buyan showed a complacent expression, snorted disdainfully, deliberately bumped Ye Hanjiang away and went downstairs.

Ye Hanjiang didn't have time to pay attention to his deliberate provocation. Yang Buyan's questioning reminded him of another thing. After Levi's was bitten, Liu Yingxue pulled her sleeves quietly, as if she wanted to cover something on her arm.

Her abnormality gave Ye Hanjiang a bold guess, that is, Liu Yingxue was bitten by the silver snake just like Levi's, and what she secretly covered up at that time should be the wound bitten by the silver snake.

Looking at Liu Yingxue's leaving back, he fell into deep thought. He didn't understand why the two people who were also bitten by the silver snake had two completely different results?

Ye Hanjiang thought to himself: Either Liu Yingxue is special, or—there is something wrong with Levi's death!

Although it is unclear whether Ma Ke, who was also swallowed by the big snake, was sucked into a mummy by it and spit out like Levi's, but based on all the clues at the moment, the biggest suspect is still Levi's.

When the four of them went downstairs and passed the big snake's body, Ye Hanjiang suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"What's the matter, Xiaojiu?" Seeing him looking at the big snake's body with a strange expression, Ye Qiu hurriedly asked.

However, Ye Hanjiang asked Gu Qinuo a question without answering the question: "Gu Qinuo, do you think that as long as there are living creatures, a biological chain will definitely be formed?"

Gu Qinuo was silent for a moment, then lowered his eyes and replied: "I can't say for sure, but some research shows that when two or more species appear in one place, there is an 80.00% chance of forming a biological chain."

Ye Hanjiang looked at the big snake's corpse in silence, as if he was thinking about something, but when the other three thought he was in a daze again, he suddenly pulled out his dagger.

The three of them watched helplessly as he groped around the tail of the big snake's corpse, and then seemed to find the right position, and stabbed it down without hesitation.

Blood spattered, but Ye Hanjiang didn't seem to feel it. He just lifted his sleeves and wiped the blood off his face, and then he stabbed again.

Gu Qinuo stepped forward, drew out the horizontal knife and asked, "How do you cut it?"

Ye Hanjiang glanced at him, pointed to a position on the tail of the snake, and said: "Be careful, I still have use for the things inside."

Gu Qinuo nodded, aimed at the position of Ye Hanjiang's hand, waved his knife across, the speed was so fast that Ye Qiu and the others could only see a silver light flashing past.

"Thank you!" After thanking Ye Hanjiang, he used a glass bottle to collect a lot of yellow liquid at the incision.

"What?" Ye Qiu covered his nose and frowned, "Why is it so fishy?"

Ye Hanjiang shook the glass bottle to confirm that there was no problem before replying, "Urine from the big snake."

Zhang Li looked at the bottle in his hand with disgust: "What's the use of this thing?"

Ye Hanjiang walked towards the big snake's head and replied: "Animals are different from humans. They rely on pheromones to survive. When a species evolves to a certain level, its urine will contain a lot of information, such as estrus cycle, Territorial divisions, racial reproduction, etc., can all be transmitted through urine."

As he said that, he carefully put away the glass bottle, and then explained: "In case it is really unfortunate that there are other creatures here, this thing can confuse or drive away other predators to a certain extent, and avoid Unnecessary attack."

When the four returned to the tree, Professor Lin and the others had already been waiting there.

After everyone agreed on a meeting time, they dispersed and found a room nearby to rest.

Ye Hanjiang picked a house close to the bell tower. Although there are snake corpses all over the place, and there is always a fishy smell in the air, he has an inexplicable intuition that the closer the place is to the bell tower, the safer it is.

After a simple wash, Ye Hanjiang lay on the soft Simmons, and suddenly couldn't fall asleep. He opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, his mind was in chaos, and countless clues were twisted into a mess in his mind, but he still couldn't find the thread. sort them out.

He sighed, pulled up the quilt and buried his head in it, trying to calm down his chaotic thoughts, but half an hour passed, with no effect at all.

Suddenly, the quilt on his face was lifted, and his eyes became bright again. Ye Hanjiang opened his eyes, and Gu Qinuo was standing at the head of his bed, pulling the quilt to his neck, and said in a deep voice: "Cover your eyes." Sleeping is bad for breathing."

Probably because his mind was still immersed in contemplation, Ye Hanjiang was a little dazed. He looked at Gu Qinuo and said coquettishly, "I can't sleep."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Ye Hanjiang was taken aback. He didn't understand why he would speak in such a tone to a man he had just met not long ago.

Gu Qinuo's face was very calm, as if it was not the first time Ye Hanjiang did this, he turned over and lay down on the bed, touched Ye Hanjiang's forehead, took his head into his arms, and said softly: "Sleep! "

I don't know why, but Ye Hanjiang didn't reject his sudden move at all. Instead, he leaned on his shoulder and closed his eyes. When the familiar milk scent came from the tip of his nose, Ye Hanjiang's drowsiness came one after another, and he fell into a deep sleep after a while. .

This sleep was the sweetest sleep Ye Hanjiang had after entering this world. In the dream, there were neither those messy clues circling in his mind, nor chaotic monsters chasing after him.

After this sleep, Ye Hanjiang didn't wake up from his sound sleep until one o'clock in the afternoon.

Gu Qinuo was no longer in the room, but there were bread and water cups on the bedside. Ye Hanjiang touched the cup and found that the water temperature inside was just right. Gu Qinuo presumably prepared it for him when he got up.

After Ye Hanjiang washed up briefly, he ate some bread and drank some water. Seeing that it was almost two o'clock, he walked out of the room and went to the meeting point under the big tree.

Before approaching, Ye Qiu complained while lighting a candle: "I don't know what's going on in this hellish place, there's only night and no day."

Ye Hanjiang smiled. Seeing that everyone had gathered, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I called everyone because I have something to tell you."

"What are you going to say again?" Yang Buyan sat on the ground sleepily, impatiently.

Ye Hanjiang ignored him, turned to look at other people and said, "First, I found that the time of day here is not 24 hours as in our common sense, but 25 hours."

"25 hours?" Everyone was shocked, because there is only night and no day here, so everyone has been determining the time according to the watch, and the watch has been running normally. They thought that a day is 24 hours, but they didn't know it was not.

Ye Hanjiang nodded: "Yes, I don't know if you have noticed that there is no day but night here, and the only change that can be seen with the naked eye is the color of the moon in the sky."

He coughed, and continued: "Since we entered here, the moon has changed into seven colors: purple, silver, red, pink, yellow, and blue. Except for the silver moon, the other colors are all four hours. "

"When entering the silver moon time, all the tools used for timing will be static, such as watches, clocks, including mobile phones, but I have counted the number of heartbeats, and this period of time is one hour."

"In addition, it will restore everything to its original state, and during the red moon time, monsters will appear and attack us. The rest of the colors are normal, so it can be temporarily judged to be a safe period."

"Silver Moon appears at four o'clock in the evening. Every time it appears, besides recovery, there are two abnormalities. One is that a barrier will appear on the periphery of the town. At present, the exact time when the barrier will disappear has not been determined yet. But I deduce that it should be after the end of the red moon."

"The other is the clock in the clock tower. Its hour hand will point to twelve o'clock without any change. As for why this happens, I haven't figured it out yet."

"The last point, judging from what happened yesterday and today, the monsters that attack us will change every day, so everyone should be mentally prepared. Tonight, we may face brand new monsters."

As soon as Ye Hanjiang finished speaking, Yang Buyan sneered: "What? Seeing that you convened everyone to look like you were about to found a country and a family meeting, you thought you had some great discoveries, but it turned out to be these useless information."

Ye Hanjiang didn't care about his ridicule: "From the clues I have obtained so far, I can only analyze the basic information, but what is certain is that there must be some kind of abnormality in the changes of the moon, the abnormality of the clock, and the dislocation of time. special connection."

Just as Ye Hanjiang was secretly thinking about the connection between the three, the archaeological team represented by Yang Buyan suddenly stood up one after another.

Ye Hanjiang looked at them suspiciously, and Yang Buyan spoke. He stared at Ye Hanjiang and the others indifferently, and asked in a cold voice: "Leave the rules aside, should you explain clearly to us first that you and Ye Qiu sneaked into us? What is the purpose of the archaeological team?"

Ye Hanjiang thumped in his heart when he heard the words, always felt that something had been ignored by him, he frowned and asked: "What do you mean?"

Yang Buyan raised his eyebrows: "What do I mean? Now that we've talked about this, let's open the skylight and speak plainly."

He put one hand in his pocket, raised his chin and looked proudly at Ye Hanjiang and said, "You killed Ma Ke and Levi's by tricks, right? If it wasn't because of your various problems and Gu Qinuo was busy saving you, what would we do?" Will the big snake take advantage of it and cause the two of them to die tragically?"

Ye Hanjiang only found it funny when he heard this, and asked back: "Why did I kill them? Don't forget, Ma Ke's father is the sponsor of Ye Qiu and me, and killing her won't do us any good."

As soon as this remark came out, Yang Buyan's expression changed suddenly, his face was full of 'I finally caught you' expression, he looked at Ye Hanjiang with a stern look in his eyes: "You really are not the real Ye Hanjiang!"

Seeing that everyone in the archaeological team also looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, Ye Hanjiang gradually realized that something was wrong, and he was sure that he must have said something wrong just now.

Before he could explain, Yang Buyan had already revealed all the answers: "I'll tell you the truth! After arriving at this strange place, we discussed it. Professor Lin and Ma Ke will confirm your identities respectively."

The corners of his lips curled up: "Gu Qinuo and the others have no problem, but what Ma Ke said about you and Ye Qiu being college students funded by her father is a lie to test you. Your real identity is actually that we are going to Limu On the way, I picked up two hitchhikers."

Ye Hanjiang's heart was shocked. He never expected that the truth turned out to be like this. What he didn't expect was that the archaeological team had dug a hole for him and Ye Qiu to jump down from the very beginning.

Ma Ke's probing words instantly pushed him and Ye Qiu to the opposite side of the archaeological team.

Ye Hanjiang saw how the archaeological team looked like they were fighting against each other, and secretly complained in his heart: This time it was a miscalculation!
