Chapter 524

Mu En's hand has been habitually placed on the handle of the knife, but he has not yet drawn the knife.

"They're just regular people."

Anna's keen eyes swept over and said:

"It's just controlled by some means."

"Can the control be released?"

Mu En asked.

"no."

Anna felt it for a moment and said:

"I haven't even sensed the magic power, and I don't even know the control methods used by the other party. I can't remove it for the time being."

"Then what should we do? We can't really take action against these ordinary people."

Mu En's face was gloomy.

We don’t know who the enemy is, we don’t know the enemy’s purpose, and we don’t even know the enemy’s methods.

But the only thing that can be known is that these small town residents in front of them are really just innocent poor people.

They had no magic power or any other aura about them. They were still wearing those simple, dirty clothes with mud spots on them, and they had just returned from a hard day's work in the fields.

But it was precisely because of this "normality" that Mu En discovered the "abnormality" at this moment.

"Anyway, let's get rid of them first without harming them. With such a major abnormal event happening in this town, it's impossible for the monitors left here by the Silence Agency to not notice anything."

Anna restrained the darkness in the shadow and took out her usual long whip:

"Break through the encirclement, and then go to meet with Kanazawa. He should have collected certain intelligence."

"Understood, I'm very good at running away."

Mu En nodded, let go of the handle of the knife, made a fist with five fingers, stretched out his arm, and lightly struck the crowd approaching with his fist.

Under the powerful but precise body control, the turbulent explosive power was forcibly controlled by Mu En, and the soft, dark energy spread like waves.

The group of people closest to Mu En were immediately pushed to their backs.

But Mu En still had a solemn expression and did not relax at all.

With his speed, it is not difficult to get rid of these ordinary people. What is difficult is how not to hurt them.

"Too many people."

Anna looked at the hundreds of people crowded around her:

"This won't work. Just grab me and I'll take you away with my levitation technique."

"OK."

Mu En nodded, feeling that flying was indeed much more reliable than relying on speed.

But before Mu En made any move, the crowd around them seemed to be aware of their desire to leave, and suddenly became excited.

"Eat, give it to me!"

In the commotion, the drunk uncle who was pulled by Mu En for questioning just now squeezed out from the crowd, held a hoe in his hand, and staggered towards Mu En.

This slow and weak attack naturally cannot hurt Mu En.

Mu En frowned slightly, hugged Anna's slender waist as she gradually rose into the air, turned sideways, and easily dodged it.

But the drunken uncle's movements were even weirder than Mu En imagined. It was as if his limbs were uncoordinated and he fell down directly on the ground.

The hoe in his hand also flew out of his hand and flew into the sky.

His head rested heavily on a stone on the ground.

In an instant, like a broken watermelon, the skull was shattered.

"squeak--"

A sharp, clear, noisy insect sound sounded.

In the flowing brain contents, a small black insect the size of a finger was slithering in and out along the cracked gap in the skull and along the cracked flesh.

Densely packed and extremely terrifying, they seemed to use the man's head as their nest, until a sudden accident disturbed them.

Mu En could see a sharp mouthpart protruding from the front of the bug, sucking happily like a blood-sucking mosquito.

"Eat...eat quickly..."

The man was actually still alive, standing up staggeringly. As the bug sucked, his two eyes moved irregularly in different directions, and his limbs and body were like a newly dead frog, twitching from time to time. Spasm.

"This is……"

At this moment, Mu En finally noticed the abnormality that he should have discovered first.

——In early spring, where can such noisy and clear insect sounds come from?

Then... where did the insect buzzing he heard just now come from?

61. Insect chirping

Naturally, the chirping of insects cannot come from the countryside, because in this early spring, Leopold is slightly colder than the Holy City, and the snow in some places has not even melted yet. How could there be insects coming out and making noise at this time?

Then there is only one possibility...

Mu En and Anna's eyes fell on the densely packed hundreds of villagers around them. While their eyes were horrified, they could not help but reveal a trace of anger and compassion.

Bugs... I'm afraid they all stay in these people's heads.

Someone put these weird brain-sucking bugs into the brains of these innocent residents and took control of them.

And not only the sound of the piano just now, but also the buzzing of insects has the ability to affect cognition to a certain extent. Otherwise, Mu En and Anna would not have discovered the source of the buzzing just now!

"So that's why you can't light a fire?"

Mu En looked ugly and looked around.

Looking past the crowd gathering below, the town not far away was shrouded in darkness, with no trace of fire visible.

It's not a custom to not have open fires, but because... these bugs don't like fire.

"That should be it."

Anna nodded slightly, then raised her hand, and a ray of fire swept out from her fingertips and landed on the bonfire stand in the center of the open space not far away.

In an instant, blazing flames burst into flames, illuminating the entire open space extremely brightly.

"Fire...there can't be fire...damn...there can't be fire..."

As the fire ignited, the already restless crowd became even more crazy. Pain and pleasure were mixed on their faces, their limbs began to twitch uncontrollably, and they instinctively fled from the source of the fire.

"Hey, why are you two flying?"

At this moment, a familiar voice made Mu En and Anna turn their heads in shock, their expressions darkening.

It was the mayor’s mother who was quite strong and strong just now.

It seemed that due to the effect of the flames, she seemed to be slightly awake. She was raising her head and looking at Mu En and Anna floating in the air in surprise.

"By the way, did you eat what you just had? The delicious ones are our eggs... Huh? Eggs? What eggs? What am I talking about?"

The mayor frowned, as if he couldn't understand what he said.

She lowered her head and suddenly saw the man not far in front of her who was covered in blood and whose movements were twisted. She also saw...

"Bug...Bug! Bug!"

By the light of the fire, she could clearly see the strange bugs scurrying around in the man's mind.

"Why...why, why does he have bugs in his head?"

The mayor's mother was so frightened that she took a few steps back. She couldn't help but pat her chest, and her whole body trembled.

Oh my god, it’s so scary. It must be very painful to have such a big bug crawling around in your brain.

And those brains and brains look fresh and juicy, they must be delicious...eh?

What am I thinking?

The mayor's mother opened her eyes wide and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Those ferocious little bugs were burrowing around in Hong Bai's brain. Logically speaking, they should make her feel sick and want to vomit, but she had no such idea. Instead, she felt...

tasty?

"Huh? Bugs? Bugs? Are there bugs only in his head?"

The mayor's mother seemed to have just realized something was wrong with her at this moment. She raised her trembling hands and touched her face, which was crying and laughing at the same time. She couldn't control the expression at all.

"Eh? Eh? My face? Why? What am I doing? Is it in my head too? Eh? Impossible, impossible! There can't be bugs in my mind... Eh, but, but this voice is What’s going on? What’s going on?”

"My head hurts...no, I'm so hungry...no, that's wrong, I really want to eat...eat..."

"No no no!"

"No, get out of my head, get out of my head!"

The mayor suddenly went crazy and slammed his head on the rocks on the ground.

one time.

Two times.

Three times.

Blood splattered.

Until there was a clear sound of bones breaking, red and white things suddenly burst out, and strange black insects finally emerged from her brain and landed on the ground, their sharp legs twisting and screaming. .

The mayor showed a relieved...yet twisted smile:

"Ah, ah, finally, finally out, you damn bugs."

But more bugs were still in her brain, sucking her brain, and actively smashing the brain open did not free her. Just like the man just now, her limbs began to move stiffly again.

Even though half of her head was broken, she was still "alive".

The fat limbs twitched, twitched, and twisted like a living dead.

This aunt who was warm and cheerful just now burst into tears because of the pain, but with a strange smile on her lips, she stood up from the ground in a weird posture.

He raised his head and looked at Mu En and Anna, his lips moving:

"Eat...you guys eat...eat that piece of meat...eat...our eggs!"

As this terrifying scene occurred, the surrounding crowd seemed to finally wake up from some kind of cognitive misunderstanding.

But this kind of sobriety...for them, is the beginning of hell.

"Don't... don't... I don't want to be eaten by bugs!"

"Get out of here! Get out of here!"

"Save me, kind goddess, please save us..."

The bloody and horrific scenes began to spread, and the pungent stench made it almost impossible to breathe. Those people cried and smashed their heads open, then stood up with a sly smile and looked up into the sky.

The chirping of insects mixed together, like a devil's grin.

More people with broken heads stood up unsteadily from the ground, raised their heads together, and looked at Mu En and Anna.

At this moment, even Mu En, who boasted that he had seen many bloody scenes, felt a strong nausea rush into his throat. He couldn't bear to continue watching and closed his eyes.

He couldn't stop it, because it was already an established fact that those bugs had entered his brain.

"No need to run away."

He heard Anna beside him say softly:

"Help them out."

"……OK."

The dark flames swayed, and Mu En did not intend to delay any longer. He just wanted to end this hell as quickly as possible.

But Anna suddenly grabbed him:

"Let me do it."
