…
So Shen Ye continued to follow the traces to the river, and then found a Glock pistol on the shore.
There was no temperature on the gun body, but Shen Ye took a sniff and still smelled the residual smell of propellant from the muzzle.
"The person who fired the gun must have been dragged into the river by something." Roberta walked over, took a look at the gun in Shen Ye's hand, and came to a conclusion.
"What do you think it will be?" Shen Ye asked her: "Python or crocodile?"
"There are no such big pythons and crocodiles nearby. This is not the deep rainforest." Roberta has lived here for a long time and has never seen a python or crocodile that can drag a person away.
"Since none of them are possible, there is only one possibility." Shen Ye glanced at Manuela, "A BOW appeared nearby."
"BOW? Was he sent by Javier?" Roberta was stunned for a moment, then his expression became serious.
"Except for him, there should be no other force with BOW in their hands." Shen Ye said with certainty: "It must be him."
"But why did he do this?" Roberta was a little puzzled. Although Lovelace was also a gangster family, after its decline, they started plantations. They had no conflict of interest with Javier, known as the biggest drug lord in South America.
"Who knows!" Shen Ye shrugged.
But he already had the answer in his mind, which was that just like the original plot, Javier did this on purpose in order to force his daughter to return to him.
This guy, who was a little crazy because of his morbid fatherly love, not only massacred several villages with BOW in order to prevent his daughter from running around, but also opened the gates of the reservoir that had been infected with the T virus to release water, causing many innocent villagers to turn into zombies after drinking the water.
"No, I have to go back immediately and tell the master and others about this." Roberta said anxiously.
"Then let's go quickly." Shen Ye said, pulling the somewhat absent-minded Manuela to follow Roberta.
…
In fact, the answer in Shen Ye's mind was not accurate, because Javier was not sure whether Manuela was in the Lovelace family's manor.
But one thing is certain, the BOW that appeared near the manor is indeed related to him.
Just as Shen Ye and the other two were passing across the bridge again, under the bridge, a monster that looked like a plesiosaur from ancient times was lurking quietly in the water.
When Shen Ye and the others got off the bridge, the monster emerged from the water, swam to the shore, then stretched out its long neck and stared blankly at Manuela who was being dragged by Shen Ye.
Only when Manuela's back completely disappeared in the moonlight did the monster slowly dive back into the water. However, on its terrifying head, a human-like melancholy expression was revealed.
…
On the way back to the manor, Shen Ye and the other two unexpectedly ran into Leon.
"What happened? I just heard gunshots."
When Leon was contacting Krauser, he heard gunshots, but because the distance was too far, he couldn't tell the direction, so he had to run around the manor with a pistol.
"There may be BOW nearby." Shen Ye said briefly.
These few words were enough to make Leon serious. He asked, "Did Javier do it?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be him." Shen Ye said.
"Did you encounter those BOWs?" Leon looked at Shen Ye and Robert, but he didn't see any signs of fighting on them, so he quickly asked, "Did those monsters hide?"
"This is exactly what we are worried about." Shen Ye said, "God knows when and where they will attack us."
"Looks like we have to go back first." Leon also knew that the matter was serious. If it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to go out at night without street lights to look for traces of those BOWs.
"So that's what we are doing. We need to get together and discuss it carefully." Shen Ye said.
The place where they met Leon was not far from the manor, and they arrived in less than ten minutes.
Roberta naturally ran up and down to inform Garcia and Diego. Shen Ye and the others waited downstairs for a while and saw them coming down.
"I heard from Roberta that you encountered the monsters created by Javier?" Diego asked directly after going downstairs.
"In fact, we didn't encounter them, but some people were attacked by those monsters and they left traces. We guess it was done by the BOWs raised by Javier." Shen Ye briefly told them their findings.
"That's troublesome. The manor has no ability to resist at all." Diego glanced at Roberta and Fabiola. Although these two maids had strong fighting ability, he did not think they were a match for those monsters.
"So you have to leave here," Leon said.
"Now?" Diego was stunned for a moment. "Traveling at night is not a good choice. This is the countryside, there are no street lights, and besides the carriage, there is only a Beetle car produced in the 1960s in the manor. It can't carry so many people. Even if it's dawn, we can't reach the town."
"In that case, we can only wait until dawn the next day before leaving." Shen Ye frowned.
"Then let's go tomorrow." Diego said, and then he asked again: "Why would Javier attack us? There doesn't seem to be any conflict of interest between us."
"Who knows!" Shen Ye repeated his answer to Roberta.
But just as he finished speaking, Manuela suddenly said, "Maybe it's because of me."
"You?" Everyone looked at Manuela.
Manuela nodded and began to tell them his story, especially some of the unscrupulous things his father had done to save him.
"It turns out that the missing fifty-plus girls were caused by your father." Garcia said in shock after hearing the whole story.
"I ran away because I couldn't stand what my father did." Manuela said painfully, "If I hadn't escaped here, maybe my father wouldn't have done it to you. This is all my fault."
"This has nothing to do with you, Manuela." Shen Ye touched her head: "You can only blame your father. He is too selfish. Moreover, even if you were not sick, given his personality, he would do these things sooner or later."
Although Javier's motive for using the biological virus was to save his daughter, judging from various signs that happened later, even if Manuela had not fallen ill, he would have done something that would have angered God and man after experiencing the power of the virus, because his nature is bad, and he is also the largest drug lord in South America. No excuse can wash away his sins.
