Eighteen hours after the incident, humans still knew nothing about the monster's whereabouts.

In order not to cause panic among the public, the Dafan authorities closed the main traffic thoroughfares in the county on the pretext of "hunting for cultural relic smugglers" and launched a sweeping search under the pretext of "anti-pornography and crackdowns on illegal activities." But five or six hours passed. , the result is still fruitless.

At the other end, in the conference room of the Serious Case Division, personnel from the Qukang Brigade and the Dafan Police Station met. They merged the intelligence teams that had been investigating separately for a day and figured out a clear thread.

"Victim No. 1 Xu Younan, 37 years old, is a native of Dafan and currently works at Yuxing Chemical Factory. He has an ex-wife and two daughters. They moved away from Dafan three years ago. The victim lives with his parents. , I’m currently looking for a second marriage partner.”

Shen Yunting posted the photo of the deceased on the blackboard and continued: "At six o'clock yesterday evening, the victim added the account 'Hypocritical Gentleman' through Weixin, and then contacted 'Mr. G' through the account owner 'Hypocritical Gentleman'. And Mr. G said he would deliver it to your door."

As he spoke, he posted a photo of Mr. G. Unexpectedly, Mr. G looked particularly young, with a short haircut, a square face, and big white teeth. He looked like a student who had not left school.

"Mr. G, whose real name is Gao Yi. He is 19 years old and a freshman at Tianyang University in Linghu Province. He has been killed and is the second victim. We repaired the deceased's mobile phone and found -"

Shen Yunting posted the third photo, which was placed in the center. It was a very beautiful girl with big eyes, a beautiful nose, and red lips. She was very beautiful even without makeup or repair.

"When he said 'delivery', he meant delivering it to his girlfriend."

Shen Yunting pointed to the photo of the girl with a bright smile and said: "Zeng Mengchu, 19 years old this year. According to the data, she has been a model student since she was a child. However, her parents were in a car accident during the college entrance examination, and her grades plummeted. Finally, I didn’t even take the exam.”

"She disappeared for two months before she was found. She was mentally unstable at the time. Her uncle and aunt took turns taking care of her, but she ran away within a few days. She disappeared for another month or so before she came back, and then ran away again. This time I ran for more than a year."

"She is a key figure." Shen Yunting posted all the photos on the blackboard and surrounded Zeng Mengchu. "All the victims are related to her."

"They are her classmates, friends, boyfriend and best friend. They are victims No. 3 and No. 4 respectively..." The character relationship diagram was fully unfolded, and Shen Yunting's finger returned to the original second name, "Also There is a video store owner."

"According to the investigation, the owner of the video store is a 'hypocritical gentleman'. His real name is Xu Wei. He is 32 years old. He has been privately engaged in pimping business for two years, and he also burns some videos for others."

"We found his body in the basement of his home, and also found many illegal DVDs. The name and date of birth of the person involved were engraved on the DVDs. After verification by a dedicated person..."

Shen Yunting paused and took a deep breath: "The parties involved are all inexperienced students, both male and female. The owner of the video store holds their videos and keeps coercing them into doing things they don't want to do."

The police officer below looked ugly: "Have the children called the police?"

"No." Shen Yunting said, "There were as many as seventeen victims, but none of them called the police. Including Zeng Mengchu, the key figure in this incident."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became eerily quiet, and Jiang Ziying's hands clenched into fists.

She can understand why you don't dare to call the police after being violated! There are always some scum in society who only know how to blame the victim, but don't denounce the criminal with a harsh word, as if the victim "deserves" the harm!

When the matter is revealed, it is true that the criminal will be arrested, but the subsequent rumors will cause a second blow to the victim. Many times, the victim can survive the criminal's infringement, but cannot survive the criticism from others.

She can understand...

But "understanding" does not mean agreeing!

Calling the police is the last resort for victims to protect themselves...

Shen Yunting: "With Zeng Mengchu and Xu Wei as the center, there was only one person left alive in the network, and the rest were all eaten within the first 18 hours. Even some of the dead were not in Dafan. "

police:……

It's not in Dafan... In other words, they tried their best to seal off Dafan, but can the monster still come in and out unimpeded? How did it do it? Obviously the police sealed all the entrances and exits!

"The only survivor was taken to the Dafan Police Station. If the other party's purpose is to 'leave no one alive', then she will definitely come back." Shen Yunting knocked on the table, "The only thing we can do now is to wait. "

"Wait? How long?" Someone frowned, "Captain Shen, if monsters are eating people outside..."

"She will come back." Jiang Ziying said suddenly, firmly, "If she deliberately destroys traces and destroys the scene of the crime, how can we solve the case quickly? Can we lock in the target person within 18 hours?"

"We can't!"

"Perhaps we are still on line 42 repairing the site instead of sitting here for a meeting." Jiang Ziying paused, "Sorry, my tone was a bit harsh...Sorry, I just wanted to say..."

"She left the clues so that the police could stop her."

"This is her-"

At the same time, Ji Si pressed the ear-mounted communicator and said calmly: "This is her last conscience as a human being. She hoped that someone could stop this atrocity, so she left all traces."

If this girl had never encountered nasty people and things, she might have become an awakened person.

Unfortunately, there is no "if" in the world.

There was a rapid sound of wind coming from the other end. It was obvious that the cabbages he raised were quickly running through the streets and alleys looking for someone. However, they were too young after all, and letting go of their senses to search in a crowded place was tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

After all, there are always a few people in the crowd who have their own negative energy, and inexperienced awakened people can easily be led astray. For example, right now, Lackey is chasing people...

Immediately afterwards, Lackey knocked the opponent unconscious with a simple and rough punch.

After a moment of fighting and two hours of confusion, the tough guy Ula fell into a long silence as he looked at the person who fell neatly at his feet.

After a long time, Lackey slowly squatted down and stretched out two fingers tremblingly - carefully probing the unfortunate guy's breath!

Phew...still alive!

He breathed a sigh of relief and immediately picked up his mobile phone to call the emergency number: "Hello, hello! I, I saw a person fainted on the ground, yes, I dare not move him! The address is the lane here on Niuwei Street, please hurry up! "

Half an hour later, Qi Xinli followed a strong negative energy to a private house.

He thought he would encounter a monster at the hunting site, and he had already informed his teammates and prepared for a fierce battle. Unexpectedly, when he came to the corner of the courtyard gate, he saw a child covered in paint being held down by his own mother. On the bench, my buttocks were spread out.

"I asked you to scribble!" My mother slapped her hands mercilessly, "I bought you a bunch of white paper, why do you still draw on the walls, the floor and the sheets? I also poured the paint into the washing machine.

You are responsible for all the bad things! If I didn’t spank you until your ass blossomed, I wouldn’t be your mother today!”

The child cried loudly and vented his negative energy wantonly.

Qi Xinli:……

He thought that some "degenerates" might have been saved by their own mothers.

After another half hour, Si Nuocheng came to the supermarket chasing a surge of resentment. He saw a girl staring at the claw machine with overwhelming negative energy, her eyes scarlet: "This time! This time it will definitely work!"

She inserted the coin, aimed, and pressed the button. The metal claws in the machine slid down and accurately caught a red panda. It grabbed the red panda and rose up, but the second it buckled the top, it was separated from the canteen scooping vegetables.

She shook her hands like an aunt.

The metal claws suddenly let go, and the little panda fell into the pile of dolls.

After three seconds of silence, the girl was filled with powerful resentment. She suddenly held her head and shouted to the sky: "No - my baby! Give me my baby back!"

Si Nuocheng:......

He thought that some "degenerates" might appear because they couldn't hold the doll.

In the end, the three of them hit the wall for a day and returned without success. They dragged heavy steps back to the hotel. When they opened the door, they heard Ji Si's familiar counting voice: "The 12th."

Everyone:......

"Her appetite has increased and she is entering the second stage of evolution. And the 'people' she eats already have ghosts in their hearts."

Such a "person" only needs an opportunity to degenerate into a monster. The reason why the girl is so anxious to eat is probably because she has guessed this. In order to prevent being counterattacked and to occupy the territory and food, she will give up her wealth

Kill the threatening "similars" one by one.

But if she eats too much of the "same kind", quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes, and she will most likely become a real devil.

Ji Si held his head with one hand, a few hairs hanging down, and what he said seemed like a prophecy: "Soon, she will lose control."

"Stopping her is the greatest salvation for her."

…

After looking for "people", they stayed in Dafan for three full days.

In three days, not to mention a monster, not even a larger moth was seen. Searching and tracking every day is unbearable for a person.

And "can't stand it" but "have to endure it" can easily arouse negative emotions in people's hearts. Once this irritable mood spreads through the human body's magnetic field, it will form a low-frequency vibration energy that spreads outward, waiting for opportunities to be acted upon.

After the demons caught the energy wave, they knew it was time to act.

Human beings have relaxed...

It's night, one o'clock in the morning. The police officers guarding the 56th Highway in Dafan are already a little tired, waiting to change shifts with the next wave of arriving teammates.

There were five minutes left, and they felt a little relaxed, but at this moment, they suddenly heard the sound of a bamboo pole digging into the wet mud.

It was very light and natural, like a branch falling or a fruit falling to the ground. If it weren't for the quietness of the night, and if the police weren't more sensitive to changes in the environment, they probably wouldn't have noticed this detail at all.

Almost immediately, the police officers entered the forest on both sides in small groups and scanned up and down with flashlights. However, they found only dead branches except for trees, and found nothing suspicious.

"Nothing else..."

"We are probably too nervous."

They looked around again, put away the flashlights and returned to their posts. Just at this moment, the police car coming on duty drove along the road, and the sound of the engine drowned out all the abnormalities in the forest.

There were sounds of friction at the stall, and in the dark forest, an extremely long "tree" was pulled out from the soil, followed by a second one, a third one...

Each of them is more than ten meters tall, and their thickness, color and skin are similar to those of trees. Even if you look closely during the day, you may not be able to tell the difference between them and trees, let alone the pitch black night?

A total of eight slender branches extended upwards and were bundled under the waist of the fallen. They intertwined quickly and shuttled through the forest like the wind, leaving only deep "tube"-shaped holes on the ground.

…

The police officers' eyes and senses could not tell the difference between trees and "insect legs", and it was even less likely that they would have thought that these long insect legs were supporting a humanoid monster passing above their heads.

"Swiss rustle..." This is the soft sound of the wind blowing in the trees, and it is also a signal for the demon to enter the city.

Here she comes.

She followed the scent of the last prey back here. However, before hunting the designated prey, she had to eat some appetizers.

The insect's legs, which were more than ten meters high, shortened one by one and quickly merged and reorganized into the shape of human legs. The fallen man turned into the alley naked and came out not long after wearing a clean men's outerwear.
