770: Chapter 742: Death Knell 770: Chapter 742: Death Knell As the girl opened the door, a group of people quickly entered the house.
Seeing so many people co in all at once seed to frighten the girl, and she timidly retreated to one side.
“Little sister, don’t be afraid, brother isn’t a bad person,” Li Chen ca to the girl’s side and said in a soft voice, a gentle smile appearing on his face.
At the sa ti, Li Chen reached out and gently patted the little girl’s head.
Through the palm of his hand, Li Chen transferred a strand of True Qi into the girl’s body.
The girl was very frail, seemingly due to malnutrition.
Li Chen transferred a strand of True Qi to help regulate the girl’s body.
As Li Chen’s True Qi entered the girl’s body, the little girl squinted her eyes slightly, a look of enjoynt appearing on her face.
“Big brother, your hand is so warm.”
Li Chen smiled, “So you see, big brother isn’t a bad person.
These people are all big brother’s friends, and they are not bad people either.”
“Mhm,” the little girl nodded gently.
“Little sister, what’s your na?”
“I’m Lisa,” the girl said with a smile.
At that mont, a Nether Army warrior ca over to Li Chen and whispered, “My lord, it seems this place has undergone an attack.”
Li Chen slightly turned his head and saw a window nailed shut with wooden boards not far away.
It seed to have been subjected to so impact, all the glass shattered.
And at the edge of the window, there were spots of blood.
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Li Chen nodded without saying a word.
After standing for a while, Li Chen then took the little girl to a sofa on the side.
“Lisa, what exactly happened here?
Why is everyone hiding in their hos and not coming out?
Also, where are your mom and dad?” Li Chen asked.
Hearing Li Chen’s words, a flash of fear involuntarily showed on Lisa’s face, but she quickly composed herself.
Li Chen’s gaze beca more intense, waiting for what ca next.
“The Gate of Hell opened, and demons ca to our town.
My mom and dad, they were taken away by the demons,” Lisa said sowhat dejectedly.
“The Gate of Hell?
Demons?” Li Chen raised an eyebrow.
“These, all the townspeople told ,” Lisa said.
“My mom and dad were also captured by those demons.”
“Did you see it with your own eyes?” Li Chen asked.
“Mhm,” Lisa nodded her head.
“Demons broke into our household, and my mom and dad told to hide in a box.
Then they were taken away by the demons.” Lisa’s mouth puckered, looking as if she was about to cry.
“It’s all right now, it’s all right,” Li Chen reached out and gently hugged the little girl in his arms.
He stopped asking further, but a cold glint flashed through his eyes.
Li Chen did not entirely believe Lisa’s words, but he understood that there was definitely sothing in this small town.
And this thing was far from simple.
It was very possible that Catherine’s cry for help was due to this very thing.
“Try to communicate with the residents around, it would be good to get any information.
Even if you don’t manage to, don’t alarm them,” Li Chen turned and instructed the Nether Army behind him.
“Yes!”
Several Nether Army warriors nodded in agreent, then turned and left the house.
For quite a while, Lisa seed to recover from her sorrow before she started chatting with Li Chen again.
Children, with their emotions coming and going quickly, soon showed a smile on her face again under the guidance of Li Chen.
By evening ti, the Nether Army had returned to the house, but the news they brought back made Li Chen sowhat disheartened.
The residents of this small town seed to be terrified, unwilling to communicate with others.
They wouldn’t open the door even if soone knocked, not to ntion getting any information.
“Big brothers, it’s ti to eat.” At this mont, Lisa suddenly ran over from upstairs.
In her hands, she was holding a large jar of biscuits.
According to Lisa, her parents had been taken away several days ago.
“So, she has been surviving on these.” Li Chen shook his head slightly, no wonder Lisa looked malnourished at first glance.
Looking at Lisa, who had brought over the biscuits, Li Chen gently shook his head, and a touch of pity appeared in his eyes as he looked at the girl.
Even the soldiers of the Nether Army showed a look of compassion on their faces.
Indeed, they had experienced even more severe and difficult tis.
But they were adults, and moreover, they were warriors of the Palace of the Nether King, whereas Lisa was just a little girl.
“No need.” Li Chen smiled and patted Lisa’s head, gently saying, “Big brother has brought so food, so let’s eat what big brother brought today.”
Saying this, Li Chen had the canned food brought by a Nether Army General brought over.
The mbers of the Palace of the Nether King often had to go to various places due to missions, so supplies beca a crucial issue.
They always carried sufficient supplies with them to maintain nutrition.
Compressed canned goods were an essential item for their outings.
“Wow…” Lisa obviously hadn’t eaten properly in a long ti, and the sight of the canned food Li Chen brought imdiately made her drool.
“Eat.” Li Chen smiled and handed a vegetable can and a at can to Lisa.
Then, Li Chen turned his head and found Ning Wangyang.
“This town is not simple,” said Ning Wangyang.
Li Chen nodded, “I was just guessing at first, but now I’m almost certain that Catherine must be here.
It’s just that we don’t know if she’s hiding or if she has been captured.”
“We need information,” said Ning Wangyang, “At the mont, we still don’t know what the enemy is.”
“Whatever it is,” Li Chen spoke indifferently, “I want it dead!”
Li Chen’s desire to kill had been aroused.
Although he never admitted being a hero, Li Chen certainly never considered himself to be a villain either.
He was a person, a man to be precise, a sowhat selfish man but one who still had a conscience.
Faced with such a situation as Lisa’s, Li Chen was indeed filled with righteous anger.
No matter what the entity was, ripping apart a family and leaving a little girl alone and afraid in her ho awaiting death…
Li Chen couldn’t just stand by and watch such a thing happen, and moreover, this incident might very well be related to Catherine’s call for help.
Under no circumstances could Li Chen just sit idly by.
“Buzz!!
Buzz!!
Buzz!!”
Just at that mont, a tolling bell sound suddenly rang out, resonating throughout the entire town.
“What’s happening?” Li Chen’s expression tightened.
Hearing this sound, Lisa, who had been happily eating her canned food, imdiately showed a look of terror on her face.
“The death knell…
This ans, the demons have co!” said Lisa in a terrified voice.
Hearing Lisa’s words, Li Chen and Ning Wangyang furrowed their brows simultaneously.
