After scratching his face, Jiang Lan tried his best to lower his voice, and explained with some unnoticeable guilt: “Did you see a big, majestic black one with horns…” He originally wanted to use beast, but after considering it, after a while, I felt it was not appropriate, so I changed a word that Xue Meng could understand: “…monster?”
Xue Meng looked at him warily, wondering why this monster would reveal his true identity.
“That monster is me.” Jiang Qian said honestly, “I’m actually not a human being. I’m sorry for scaring you.”
Xue Meng:???
He looked at Jiang Lan dubiously, but the hand holding the knife dropped a little: “Why should I believe you?”
Jiang Lan thought for a moment and said hesitantly: “How about I change back again and show you?”
Xue Meng:……
Thinking of the scene where the black monster bit off the strange bird’s head in one bite, he really didn’t want to experience it again.
“No.”
“Then you believe me?” Jiang Lan asked.
Xue Meng didn’t say yes or no. He rolled his eyes and said, “You come with me first to kidnap that old bastard Huang Zhishu.”
He really held a grudge. They were busy helping the village solve problems, but the old man wanted to use them to feed strange birds. All he wanted now was to drag that old guy out and give him a good beating.
Jiang Lan wanted to ask Party Secretary Huang what was going on with these Gu Diao. Hearing this, he agreed and went with him to the main room to find Party Secretary Huang.
Xue Meng walked in front aggressively but kept a distance from Jiang Lan as if there was no presence.
Jiang Lan thought he knew his true identity and had a grudge behind his back, and his eyes suddenly became sad.
The two of them found Huang Zhishu’s room in the dark. Xue Meng kicked open the door with anger on his face, then groped for the switch and turned on the light. It was just that although the lights were on, it was like in a horror movie, where the light was dim and flickering.
But at least he could see clearly into the room.
The old man Huang Zhishu was hiding behind the cabinet, huddled behind a huge piece of gray and black feathers. Xue Meng recognized this feather as that of the strange bird with red eyes.
“You really wanted to feed us to the birds.” Xue Meng fiercely tore off the feathers, kicked him over, and then jumped on him and strangled his neck.
Huang Zhishu didn’t expect that they would be still alive, so he struggled in fear. He seemed to be afraid that too much noise would attract monsters, so he lowered his voice and begged for mercy: “Don’t fight, don’t fight. Too much noise will attract those things.”
“I will send you to feed the birds now.” Xue Meng punched him twice in the face and dragged him out by the collar, as if he wanted to go out and die together.
Jiang Lan quickly stopped him: “First ask what’s going on in the village.”
Xue Meng was stunned and looked at him up and down. After a long time, he tried to squeeze his arm and suddenly let out a strange cry: “F**k, it’s true!”
He was so moved that he almost cried. He rushed forward and hugged Jiang Lan, and gave him a few heavy blows on his back: “I thought you were eaten by a monster…”
Jiang Lan struggled to tear him off and said speechlessly: “Didn’t I just say that?”
Xue Meng wiped his red eyes and muttered: “I thought it was a monster that turned into you and lied to me, so I took advantage of it…”
Jiang Lan:……
Then you are really awesome.
After confirming that Jiang Lan was not dead, Xue Meng felt as if he had found his backbone. He was no longer gloomy and kept shouting excitedly: “Let’s tie up this old guy first. He has a tricycle at home. Let’s drive out and call the police first…”
As he said this, he became worried again: “I’m just afraid that the police won’t believe us…”
Jiang Lan: “Listen to me first.”
Xue Meng shut up for a second and was particularly flattering: “Oh, you say it.”
“There’s something weird about this black mist. We shouldn’t be able to get out for a while now.” Jiang Lan pointed to the dark sky above his head. Xue Meng looked up and found that it was not the sky he thought, but a large thick black fog that seemed to be surging.
He hesitated and leaned closer to Jiang Lan unconsciously.
Jiang Lan squatted down, picked up something and patted Huang Zhishu’s face: “What’s going on in the village? Where do the black mist and strange birds come from?”
Secretary Huang’s eyes dodged around: “I, I don’t know…”
Jiang Lan grimaced, his fingers suddenly turned into claws, and he opened his mouth and showed his sharp teeth: “I’ll eat you right now if you don’t tell me.”
Secretary Huang watched helplessly as his hands turned into the claws of an unknown beast. The sharp claws were like steel knives, and they cut a bloody gash on his body with just one touch.
He had no doubt that if he didn’t tell him, the other party would really turn into a monster and swallow him whole.
“I, I actually don’t know clearly…these things existed many years ago, and there is nothing we can do about them. They are just over the cemetery in the north. You will understand when you take a look…”
There was indeed something wrong with that cemetery.
“Are there still those strange birds in the back mountain?” Jiang Lan asked.
Huang Zhishu rolled his eyes and wanted to say no. But when he met his cold eyes, he still hesitated and told the truth: “Yes, yes…”
Jiang Lan narrowed his eyes happily, picked him up, and asked Xue Meng to find the rope: “Let’s go to the cemetery first, and you can stay outside first.”
Xue Meng found a rope, tied up Secretary Huang tightly and threw it on the open space in front of the house. There were still strange bird feathers and dirty blood there. Secretary Huang rolled on the ground, begging for mercy in horror.
Jiang Lan gave him an indifferent look and said to Xue Meng: “I’m going to visit the cemetery. Are you waiting for me here, or are you going with me?”
Xue Meng said without hesitation: “I will go with you.”
Only by following the boss could he feel safe.
His expression was full of trust, without any fear or estrangement.
Jiang Lan laughed and said, “Then let’s go.”
The two dropped Party Secretary Huang and strode toward the cemetery with flashlights on.
The author has something to say:
Taotie: After finishing the takeaway, the rest has to be picked up at home.
Xue Meng: I didn’t see anything.
