Chapter 80 Gunshots on a Rainy Night

Yao Yan has no way to confirm whether Mosenke was having his brain eaten when he wrote the letter.

However, another question is very important.

Yao Yan turned his sight to the surroundings.

According to Karina's memory, the letter was already in the drawer when she came here.

So, where did her brother Mosenke write the letter?

If he wrote it sitting at this table, then, in this room?

Would the "cat-like" monster, the man-eating monster, be in this room?

He glanced at the chair, and with Karina's memory, he could even imagine Mosenke sitting at the table and writing a letter.

In his alert heart due to the content of the letter, Yao Yan turned his sight and let Karina's eyes project to every corner of the room one after another, looking for the so-called "strange cat" that might exist.

The result was that he didn't find it.

After searching the drawers and the bottom of the bed again, Yao Yan left the room after not finding anything related.

Standing in the hall, Yao Yan, who was vigilant, looked at other rooms.

There are only two bedrooms, which belong to William's brother.

In addition, there is only a kitchen near the left side of the backyard and a toilet near the right side of the backyard.

Finally, there is a warehouse next to the kitchen.

Without going directly into the warehouse, Yao Yan returned to the room of Karina's eldest brother William, looking at the increasingly dark rainy night outside the window, and picked up the lantern on the low bedside table next to the door.

When leaving the room, he waved to the position of the three crows-

Almost at the same time he stretched out his hand, the three crows flew over and landed on Karina's arm.

Looking at the three crows, Yao Yan paused, put down the lantern, opened the wardrobe, and took out a knee-length gray-blue coat and a dagger for cutting from the large bag inside.

After confirming that there was nothing with cat-like characteristics hidden in the coat, Yao Yan put the dagger in his pocket and put on the coat at the same time.

And at the moment when the coat was put on Karina, the three crows also got into the coat.

In this case, it should be safer.

However, in order to protect the safety of the crows, the price is to temporarily give up the means of using crows to monitor, observe, and guard.

However, before confirming the situation, this is also a relatively safe method.

After putting the flintlock pistol into the coat pocket to ensure that it can be taken out quickly, Yao Yan picked up the lantern and walked to the warehouse with the sound of the door closing.

The kitchen and the warehouse in the left corner of the house are separated by a corridor of more than one meter, which leads directly to the backyard through the door. There is a ventilation window above the closed door. When the light of the rainy night falls from there, there is not much left.

Following the footsteps and the swaying light and shadow cast by the swaying lantern, Yao Yan came to the door of the kitchen.

There was a creaking sound, and the door opened. It was not dirty, but perhaps because of the rain, the kitchen seemed quite humid.

Compared with the stove, it should be said that it is a shelf made of earth and wood, standing by the door.

On the side of the "stove", there were a row of burnt marks on the wall, not from smoke, but from direct fire, and

In this very humid environment, those burnt marks did not feel wet, as if they had just been burned not long ago.

This situation made Yao Yan immediately tighten his attention, staring at the burn marks, circling half a circle, and approaching the wall without burn marks.

But nothing happened.

After a brief thought, Yao Yan took out his pistol.

Karina's rough hands grabbed the grip of the flintlock pistol, opened the gunpowder cap, and took out the paper shell bullet.

And at this moment, Yao Yan felt something rushing from behind, bringing a sound of wind.

Almost instantly, Yao Yan turned his right hand, which was about to open the gunpowder cap, and touched the right pocket.

At the same time, under his will, Karina made a squatting and rolling action.

When Karina rolled up, he had already taken out the dagger from his pocket and slashed back at her original position.

If something had rushed over from that position, it would have been cut by the dagger.

But

No.

As if it was an illusion, his sight, including the crows that poked their heads out of their coats, did not see anything.

But

The sound of the wind was real.

Yao Yan confirmed that he should have heard it.

Carefully, Karina got up and looked around vigilantly.

Nothing happened throughout the whole process.

Was it an illusion? Or something that appeared as an illusion and the sound of the wind?

With this thought in mind, Yao Yan asked Karina to stand up straight.

His sight once again fell on the wall with scorched marks.

The flintlock pistol was still in her left hand, and the gunpowder cap had been opened.

Yao Yan continued to load the gunpowder.

However, this time, no matter whether he used the crow's mouth to bite open the paper shell bullet, or put the gunpowder of the paper shell bullet into the gunpowder pool and closed the lid, or pushed the paper-wrapped bullet from the barrel, nothing happened.

Hmm?

In doubt and a deeper level of vigilance, Karina's hand grabbed the paper shell bullet and poured the remaining gunpowder from the barrel, and finally stuffed the paper shell bullet wrapped with the bullet ball into the barrel.

Still nothing happened.

However, when Yao Yan took out the cleaning rod and prepared to compress the bullet and gunpowder, the sound of wind sounded again from behind him.

At this moment, the right hand holding the metal cleaning rod and the cutting knife slid to the trajectory of the predicted object that would pounce as she dodged sideways.

But nothing.

When Karina's body fell to the ground, the vision did not capture anything.

Yao Yan glanced at the gunpowder that was shaken by the fall, and controlled Karina to stand up again.

However, at this moment, the wind started again!

Almost instantly, according to previous experience, Yao Yan, who was well prepared, made another defensive counterattack to the back

But at this moment, through the crow's head exposed from the side of Karina's coat, he saw that a black shadow emerged from the scorched marks on the wall and rushed directly to her position.

Karina raised her left hand suddenly, barely aimed at the scorched part of the wall, and pulled the trigger.

Bang! ! !

Immediately after the sound of flint knocking, a loud noise sounded in the rainy night, penetrating the wall of the house and rushing into the rain curtain.

The lantern on the cabinet next to the kitchen door illuminated the black shadow on the ground.

Between her coat, the crows that were about to move also stopped at this time.

Driven by Yao Yan's will, the words that were about to come out of Karina's slightly opened mouth were swallowed back.
