At about six o'clock in the morning on the fourth day, the street cleaner stopped at the entrance of a remote alley with her cart. She slowly unloaded the dustpan and broom, smiled, exchanged greetings with the early passers-by, and walked into the alley.

Dispose of garbage.

Half a minute later, the cleaner's frightened scream suddenly came from the alley: "Ahhhh-"

The dustpan and broom fell to the ground, followed by the sound of legs frantically scraping against the ground. The cleaner crawled out on hands and knees, talking nonsense until passers-by quickly gathered around her, and she finally felt a little safer.

"Kill, he killed someone..." She trembled and pointed at the alley with her finger, tears streaming down her face, "People, they killed someone!"

The attentive woman immediately called the police, and the bold men walked inside in groups of three to five. Not long after, the men screamed in surprise one after another. Two of them even covered their mouths and ran out, rushing into the flower bed to vomit.

"Call the police!"

"Don't go in, don't block it, make way for the police!"

"Spread out! Spread out... ugh!"

Someone died in the alley, and the death was horrible. Dried blood scabs filled the trash can, and the broken bones were stuffed inside in a twisted posture. Half of the head was embedded between the two legs of the corpse, and only the remaining

One eye was not closed, and he was staring directly at the person...

Everyone who sees it is horrified!

The police arrived at the scene of the crime as quickly as possible, and the yellow cordon was quickly pulled up to block the prying eyes of latecomers. The cleaner was picked up for psychological counseling, and the other witnesses gathered together to piece together the story sentence by sentence.

clue.

"I know this person." The witness who was so vomited that he was unconscious said weakly, "Although he only has half of his face, that face is that of a man named 'Zhang Liu' from our area."

"Zhang Liu?"

"There is a gangster in our area," the witness said. "He doesn't learn well. He beats his parents. He idles around all day and likes to do some sneaky things."

"My character is not very good. I harassed a few older girls a few years ago, and the girl's family teamed up to beat her up. I was kept honest for half a month. Later, I started harassing female students and was sent to the detention center several times."

"Other than these, he has never provoked any enemies, and I don't know why..."

Another person said: "I heard that he was gambling, could he be a creditor?" He made a gesture of wiping his neck, and then said in confusion, "If it is really a creditor, there must be a sound when he kills people, right? But we didn't hear anything strange here.

The sound.”

The witnesses talked incessantly and stopped for a while.

The police officers collected the information and sent the witnesses home kindly. When there were no more outsiders at the scene, a senior police officer gently scratched the blood scab with his gloves, looked at the victim's body again, and said: "Monster.

The hunting methods have changed."

"Huh? How do you say it?"

"At first, it left the parts it didn't like to eat, but now it also keeps the parts it likes to eat." The senior police officer said, "This shows that it may come back and continue this 'delicious meal'."

"I dealt with a case of 'circus lion cannibalism' in the early years. In comparison, it is more and more similar to the way lions treat their prey. They will eat half and leave half, mark the hunting ground, and then patrol

Go through the territory and the food in the enclosure, and finally come back to eat the corpses left behind.”

The senior police officer pointed to the blood scabs: "These are marks." He pointed to the body, "If we take away its prey, it may chase its prey into the station."

Hearing this, Gang Bing said: "That would be great, just focus on killing it! Team Shen, we..."

"I mean 'if', not 'absolutely'." The senior police officer said with a wry smile, "The monster is not a lion after all. It has a brain and can hide. If this body is taken away by us, it may just abandon it. The second one."

Shen Yunting nodded and said: "That's right. Moreover, the current deceased person... he did not appear in Zeng Mengchu's relationship network."

In other words, what they feared most happened.

Innocent people who did not exist in the network died, which means that the people hunting monsters have shifted from "perpetrators" to ordinary people. It also implies that people in the entire Dafan County may become the food of the other party.

This has become its hunting ground.

"We are currently in the east of the city?"

"right."

Shen Yunting thought for a moment and called Si Nuocheng: "Zeng Mengchu has entered the city. We are currently guarding the east side of the city and the police station. I'll leave you in trouble for the other three directions."

Even if the awakened ones are not regular soldiers, they cannot be said to be a formal team linked to the national organization. What's more, they can't even get public recognition for running errands and saving people. But Shen Yunting knows that even if the world doesn't Grant them the medals they deserve, and they will still serve the world without hesitation.

After all, their goodwill has never been wiped out by reality, and their blood is still boiling for their goals. Awakened people are different from ordinary people, but they are still the same.

As expected, he opened his mouth, and the people in Si Nuo City agreed without asking any questions.

"A new victim has appeared, and he has nothing to do with Zeng Mengchu." Shen Yunting paused and prepared to ask, "Ji Si... did he mention which people are more likely to suffer?"

Following the Awakened One, the more he got along with him, the more he felt that Ji Si was mysterious and unpredictable. Adhering to the strategy of "only watch from a distance, don't disturb", he calmly acted as an observer.

The more he observed, the more cautious his attitude towards Ji Si was. I wonder if it was his misunderstanding, but many times, he felt that Ji Si looked like a person who played chess slowly and leisurely. Whether it was a human being or a monster, it seemed that he was the same person. Pieces falling on the chessboard.

It seems that as long as the time is right, they will twist into a big dragon and help him surround and kill...

"I didn't mention it, but I gave a hint."

Si Nuocheng was the first person to know Ji Si, and he has been pursuing him with a strong desire to win. Although he didn't know much about Ji Si, he did know a lot.

At least, he remembered every word he said: "On the first day he came to Dafan, he said, 'People will always pay the price for their indulgence.'"

"You might as well check, what are the common diseases of these deceased people? Or, what did they indulge in to pay the price with their lives?"

Shen Yunting slowly put down his phone, looking a little dazed.

He suddenly remembered something——

On the night when he first arrived in Dafan, Qi Xinli burst into their room with a smile and holding a stack of unspeakable business cards and said: "Come here, I will help you with the work, and we will fight against pornography and illegal activities tonight!"

"I really didn't expect that Ji Si, a person with such an immortal spirit, would actually check this kind of business card." Qi Xinli said, "In my impression, he should not even look at the business card and just step on it. People from the past.”

[He should be the one who stepped over without even looking at me.]

[He should not look at it...]

Yes, that's right! If there were no ghosts here, would Ji Si behave in such an abnormal way?

Business cards, contact numbers, door-to-door deliveries, indulgent male customers and women who sold themselves for a living...it turned out that Ji Si had given hints from the beginning and also reminded them who were prone to disaster.

【People will always pay the price for their indulgence.】

The people who persecuted Zeng Mengchu were like this, and so were the people who died at her hands later. People who indulge themselves are indeed unable to resist temptation and are more likely to be hunted.

Thinking of this, Shen Yunting turned pale.

Only now did he realize that he had wasted three days!

He turned around and ran back to the group and quickly stated the information.

Not long after, the captain of Dafan sternly said: "A notice must be issued! Now, immediately! Let's just say that the 'monster who can turn into a woman' has entered the city, and let those with brains in their belts know what to do." My heart is going to die!"

However, they also understand that people who are used to indulgence will not care about police notifications at all.

…

Around one o'clock in the afternoon, a new victim appeared in the east of the city.

At five o'clock in the evening, the accident happened again in the east of the city. In desperation, the police dispersed most of their personnel to search all over the east of the city. Little did they know that the popularity of the police station gradually disappeared, and it showed the smell of "designated prey".

The smell drifted along the wind and entered the hunter's nostrils.

A girl in a blue and white school uniform stood in the shadow of the alley, tilted her head and smiled: "So that's where it is."

It only takes three streets to get there. However, she is not in a hurry to eat him now. There is a lot of fresh food in this city, and they are particularly easy to trick. You can eat it with just a click of your fingers. It is much more delicious than her good friends. Already.

"I'm hungry again..."

She walked into the crowd and started looking for the next food.

At the same time, in the hotel suite, even though there was chaos and chaos outside, Ji Si was working diligently as a nanny and taking care of the children.

He seemed to like telling fairy tales to children, and he would tell them all afternoon. With his gentle voice and vivid descriptions, Jiang Qining and Yu Mingyang also listened in unknowingly.

"The center of the universe is bright. The light is more dazzling than the sun and softer than the moonlight. You can look directly at it without worrying about being stung by it." Ji Si said softly, "In the center of that light, it is spinning. Countless stars. They form the veins of the flower of life and grow the most beautiful tree of life."

"The roots of the tree of life extend outward and penetrate every corner of the universe, giving rise to countless divine beings. The most powerful races among them are dragons, gods, light elves, Sirians... They are like the tree of life The fruits that grow on the branches will fall from the branches when mature and spread to take root and grow throughout the universe, bringing light to every corner."

"This is the continuation of life and the continuation of Tao."

Shu Yu listened and held her chin in her hands: "Sir, what is Tao?"

"The so-called Tao is the path you choose for yourself." Ji Si chuckled, "For example, who do you want to be when you grow up?"

"I want to be a scientist!"

"Well, this is your 'Tao'." Ji Si rubbed the child's head, "Don't think about it too complicated. Sometimes what you want to do is your Tao, and that's it."

The little girl laughed happily and innocently.

However, telling stories will make you lose track of time, and the child always gets hungry very quickly. When a "gurgling" sounded from the child's belly, the three grown men in the room finally realized that it was time for dinner and they had to feed the cub.

As the only labor force, Jiang Qining pushed Yu Mingyang into the elevator with his children. Although he knew that Ji Si seldom ate, he still asked out of habit: "Do you want to bring you anything?"

He was ready to say "No, thank you", but unexpectedly Ji Si smiled and said, "I really need your help to bring something."

"Eh?"

"Bring me a piece of amethyst." Ji Si said, "The color of violet."

Jiang Qining agreed. In special times, he really didn't want to go out. Fighting like him is not good, and the person who shouts for the first place should stay in the hotel and meditate, instead of wandering around and being targeted by monsters.
