The red floor numbers on the display screen jumped slowly. Jiang Lan took out his mobile phone and reported to the bureau.
The apartment building had 35 floors in total. The elevator stopped on the 35th floor. When Jiang Lan stepped out of the elevator, he saw gray down feathers flying in the corridor. These tiny down feathers disappeared without a trace when touched lightly by hand. They looked weak and harmless, but Jiang Lan could sense an uncomfortable aura from them.
He looked up at the source of the down feathers – the thirty-fifth floor of stairs, the emergency door was open, and looking up from the bottom, there was only the unclear night sky and flying down feathers.
——In high-rise apartment buildings, the safety door leading to the roof is generally not allowed to be used, as it is an escape route. However, most of the time, in order to avoid safety accidents, the property management will lock this door.
But at this moment, the security door was wide open, like a silent invitation, but also like an impudent provocation.
Jiang Lan became more and more certain that “Doctor Yu” was indeed not an ordinary demon.
He walked slowly onto the rooftop and saw a large black bird standing on the edge of the rooftop.
The bird’s beak was as black as its feathers, and its head was more hideous than that of ordinary birds. It had six gray-green eyes. The eyes were not round and cute like those of birds but long and narrow like those of humans. Most of the white of the eye was gray-green, with a gray pupil in the middle, and the shape was as sharp as a grain of wheat.
Jiang Lan glanced at the two pairs of wings folded behind it, and the three sharp brown claws grasping the edge of the rooftop, and revealed its identity in one word: “Suanyu[1]?”
“I didn’t expect that someone would recognize me now?”
The sour voice was totally inconsistent with his ugly and ferocious appearance. It was gentle and pleasant. If you didn’t look at his appearance and only listened to his voice, you would imagine that he was a gentle and polite young man with a smile on his lips. It was a voice that was very easy to make people feel close to him.
The voice was exactly the same as “Doctor Yu”.
No wonder the other party could parade around the hospital with a completely different face, replacing Yu Qishan’s identity.
The ancient beast Suanyu was born with six eyes. If you look into its eyes, your mind will be manipulated and played with in its hands. It liked to watch its prey fall into extreme fear and eventually die in fear and despair.
Fear was its best food. Wherever it went, everything fell into black terror.
“I can’t even see through your background, who are you?”
Suanyu stretched his head in front of Jiang Lan, looking at him with six eyes without blinking, his wings behind him slightly spread, and his voice revealed a happy emotion.
He was really interested in Jiang Lan.
Suanyu was too close, so Jiang Lan took a step back in disgust.
Suanyu narrowed his eyes and said in a gloomy voice, as if he was dissatisfied with Jiang Lan’s retreat: “Are you scared?”
“You’re the one who’s so ugly.” Jiang Lan retorted.
He licked his lips and transformed into his true form, his red vertical pupils revealing an undisguised appetite.
“Come on, I haven’t tried Suanyu meat yet.”
“It’s you.”
Suanyu’s voice suddenly rose, as if he had discovered something very surprising. His six eyes showed great excitement, and his sharp claws could not help but grab the deep marks on the edge of the rooftop: “I really did come here for the right reason. Things are becoming more and more interesting.”
It raised its head and let out a long cry, then flapped its wings and flew up in an instant, using its sharp, hooked claws to go straight for Jiang Lan’s eyes.
Jiang Lan did not dodge or evade. Instead, he leaped up with a low growl and opened his mouth wide to bite its claws.
Suanyu quickly dodged, flapped its four wings suddenly, flew into the air quickly, and then dived down immediately. In its open beak were saw-like fangs pointing directly at Jiang Lan’s throat.
Jiang Lan charged him head-on fiercely, and his powerful force knocked Suanyu away, causing him to fall onto the water tank with a dull thud.
“Taotie’s strength is indeed extraordinary.”
Facing the covetous Jiang Lan, Suanyu stood up slowly, flapped his wings to shake off the dust, and even used his long beak to comb his feathers neatly. Then he turned his head to look at him leisurely, with an undisguised malicious smile in his eyes: “Aren’t you curious about Jiang Chi’s identity?”
Jiang Lan’s pupils became a thin line, stopped one step away, and looked at him coldly: “You are really targeting him.”
“That’s right,” Suanyu admitted openly. He flapped his wings excitedly and asked Jiang Lan, “He is bound by his body. When he breaks free from his body, it will be the end of the human race and the day of the gods’ revelry. Watching those small and humble human beings, trapped in nightmares and unable to extricate themselves, watching them go from resistance to giving up resistance, struggling painfully in the quagmire of despair and fear…” He raised his head, his gray-green eyes squinting in enjoyment, as if he had already seen that scene: “What a pleasant thing it is? Aren’t you looking forward to it?”
“I’m now… looking forward to tasting you even more!”
Jiang Lan was too lazy to listen to his long speech. He jumped up and pounced on it, pinning it under his claws. His sharp teeth mercilessly tore off one of its wings, swallowed it whole, smacked his lips and commented, “The meat is a little tough.”
He showed Suanyu his row of sharp fangs and said calmly: “Tell me Jiang Chi’s identity honestly, and I’ll kill you. Otherwise… I’ll pluck your hair and make you into a roast chicken. Or I’ll keep you in a pen and slice off a piece of meat a day.” He estimated Suanyu’s size: “Although the meat is not fresh and tender, it’s enough to eat for a while.”
