Handbook of Nonhuman Research

In June in northern Beijing, the summer solstice has not yet arrived, and the weather seems to have a tendency to be unstoppable.

On Wednesday night, Zhao Wugou returned to the apartment in a sweltering heat. Just as he was about to sit down and have a cup of iced coffee, he saw a jade slip with a gold thread unraveled on the coffee table. A few lines of ink were written:

【It is scheduled from the third day of May to the seventh day of May,

My birthday party was held on the cruise ship 'Tiangong',

Welcome all of you to bring your relatives and friends to visit.

Not well-known]

There is a sense of self-confidence that is full of richness and jumping out between the lines. Among the people Zhao Wugou knows, there is no second choice except Tianjun.

"Tianjun wants to hold a birthday party on the cruise ship?" Zhao Wugou looked at Yan Jun who had changed into home clothes and walked over. In his memory, bigwigs from all walks of life have always held birthday parties, just like last time The kind run by the Queen Mother of the West.

"Well, he said that birthday banquets are always too boring, so this time he specially asked his teammates who played games, and planned to learn the fashionable way of the human world, hold a new party, travel to the sea for four days and three nights "Yan Jun stretched the folds of his cuffs and said, "Haotian said he bought a big cruise ship and asked us to take at least seven people there to play."

I don't like holding birthday banquets in Tiangong, so I specially bought a cruise ship called 'Tiangong' to hold birthday parties.Zhao Wugou was quite speechless about the idea of ​​a certain narcissistic god who changed the soup without changing the medicine.

The two discussed for a long time, and in addition to their own little buns, black and white impermanence, Yang Yong, Taotie, Qin Jian, and Song Zhan, they barely made up seven places.

As for Bai Ze, Tianjun will definitely give the invitation letter directly, and Wu Yi and Wu Er should also bring it there.

"Aren't you going to hold a birthday banquet this time?" After finalizing the list, Zhao Wugou suddenly remembered that Tianjun's birthday is the fifth day of May, and his minister's birthday is the fourth day of May!

However, in the past, Yan Jun rarely did it.

"I like to live in a quieter place." Yan Jun gave a meaningful glance at his partner beside him, he prefers to spend time alone with someone rather than in a chaotic party with a bunch of people.However, in terms of time, he and Wugou were on the cruise ship on this birthday, so I don't know if there is still a chance to spend it alone.

"En." Zhao Wugou nodded perfunctorily, his mind was already on the issue of what birthday gift to prepare for Yan Jun, and he didn't get the minister's eyes at all.

On the afternoon of the third day of May, Zhao Wugou and Yan Jun arrived at Beijing-Tianjin Port with Little Baozi and others.

Above the blue sea and under the blue sky, a tall [-]-ton cruise ship stands at the pier majestically like a palace on the water.The streamlined hull is majestic, shining brightly in the sun.

Because Yan Jun had a meeting before and was delayed for some time, when they arrived, most people had already boarded the ship, and there was almost no one on the side of the ship except the three officials and three brothers who were in charge of welcoming guests.

"Hello, two adults." Seeing Zhao Wugou and Yan Jun, Shui Guan's black and white eyes narrowed into crescents happily, and covered the back of Zhao Wugou's hand with the gold seal on his hand.

Zhao Wugou also greeted him with a smile.

The local officials and heavenly officials standing on his left also held a gold seal of similar style in their hands. When Zhao Wugou walked over, they also stamped on the backs of Zhao Wugou, Xiaoyan Wang and others one by one with a smile on their faces. Pass.

"Father, what are they doing?" Xiao Baozi looked at the golden light flashing on the back of his hand for no reason, and quietly tugged at the corner of Zhao Wugou's clothes to ask.

"The heavenly monarch's birthday is celebrated in the whole world. They are helping everyone to bless and relieve misfortune." Zhao Wugou pointed to the three officials of heaven, earth and water with exquisite patterns on official uniforms. .”

The little bun nodded knowingly, and was about to walk forward with his short legs, but suddenly stopped as if thinking of something, carefully took out the reverse scale containing the gentle soul from his lapel, and handed it to the third official. His little face was full of anticipation, "Can you please give my friend a blessing too?"

The three officials of heaven, earth, and water readily agreed, and they all put the gold medals in their hands on Nilin.

The little bun showed a big smile, put Ni Lin back on his lapel contentedly, then bent down earnestly, and bowed to the three officials in a milky manner to thank him.

"You guys are too late, and you will be punished for drinking later." Tianjun leaned condescendingly on the railing on the second floor, swinging the jade bone fan that was "worthy of me".

He got the news and made a special trip to meet Yan Jun and Zhao Wugou.

"Is the 4000-year-old Penglai brew okay?" Zhao Wugou held up the birthday gift they brought to Tianjun.Penglai Niang, made by the wine sage Dukang himself, there are no more than ten altars left in the world today.

Tianjun's eyebrows stretched out, revealing an expression of 'this is more or less the same'.

Wide decks, plush Persian carpets, golden crystal lamps, brand-new stair handrails wrapped in lambskin, theaters with fully electric massage seats, wine cabinets with everything you need... The facilities on the cruise ship are extremely luxurious and eye-catching. too busy to give.

Yan Jun's suite is right next to Tian Jun's room, and when you open the window, you can see Jin Lin leaping into the water, the sea and the sky.

Yang Yong and Taotie took Song Zhan and Qin Jian to visit the deck, and only Zhao Wugou, Black and White Wuchang, Xiao Baozi, and Bai Ze who just rushed over were left in the room.

"At night, the cruise ship will pass by Tanyue Island, and a very strange case has recently occurred there. We just happened to stop by and have a look." Yan Jun remembered the case handed over by the Beijing North Branch in the morning, and handed the information to Zhao No dirt.

Tanyue Island is a small offshore island with a permanent population of less than two hundred.

There is a kind of Qibao fish in the nearby waters, which is extremely delicious, because this kind of fish likes to be active at night, and the fishermen on the island have also developed the habit of night fishing.

Last month and the day before yesterday, a series of night fishermen who were good at swimming drowned mysteriously by the sea, and some people said they saw monsters, which caused panic among the islanders.The local investigation failed, so they applied for a joint investigation with the Public Security Bureau, hoping to send someone over to see if there were really monsters.

"Monster?" Zhao Wugou passed the information to Hei Wuchang after reading the page.

"I've checked. According to the information on the temporary residence permit in the bureau, there are two monsters living on Tanyue Island. In addition to a mouse monster who lives on the island all year round, there is also a wolf monster who was just released from prison last month. According to the past From the records, this wolf demon is more suspicious." Bai Ze neatly tied up his gorgeous long hair with a rubber band in his hand, took out several printed records, and handed them to Yan Jun and Zhao Wugou them.

Robbery, fight, attempted murder...

Seeing the row of gorgeous prison records on the A4 paper, Zhao Wugou couldn't help being amazed.

In the past 20 years, this wolf demon has been imprisoned six times in the human world.The longest nine years, the shortest half a year.Counting it, he may have stayed outside the prison for less than half a year in total, and almost every time he went back in within a few days after he came out.

Zhao Wugou slightly raised his eyebrows, "Why do they all enter the prisons of the human world?"

"These six times, it was arrested as a 'person', without even revealing its identity as a monster."

"So, it's dishonest just now?" Bai Wu tapped the page of records with his fingers.

"If it was it, it would be easy to handle. This time, I caught it and threw it back to the demon world, and issued a ban to prevent it from entering the human world." Bai Ze paused, and then said, "I'm afraid it's not it, but those who hide in the dark. guys."

For more than half a year, they have cleaned up many of the party members left by the Eastern Prince based on the information they received.However, the more you catch it, the more you can understand the once huge network. No one knows how many fish still slip through the net.

"No matter who it is, it won't be able to escape tonight." Bai Wuchang smiled and patted Bai Ze's shoulder.there is always a solution to a problem.No matter how many people there are on the East Prince's side, there will always be a day when they will be caught clean.

Comprehending Bai Ze's unfinished words, Zhao Wugou rubbed his chin, "The Queen Mother of the West has always closed the door to thank the guests and there is no movement. Haotian arranges the birthday, and the Queen Mother of the West will definitely be there, so we just pay more attention to the situation there. "

"Well, these days I'm looking for an opportunity to find out what she has to say." Yan Jun moved his jaw lightly and nodded.

How about coming to play?

Little Yan Wang yawned boredly, and stared at Zhao Wugou and Yan Jun who were chattering back and forth with great joy.

Dad and father seem to have just changed places to discuss business matters?

Bai Wuchang patted the little guy's head and whispered to him quietly, "Don't pay attention to them, your father and father are workaholics."

The little bun nodded half understanding.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, the lights on the cruise ship were brightly lit.

Tianjun grabs people to play games in the lobby on the third floor, Bai Ze monitors the movement on the cruise ship, Tao Tie and Xiao Baozi follow Qin Jian, Yang Yong and Song Zhan to watch the song and dance performance, Zhao Wugou, Yan Jun and Black and White Wuchang take advantage of In the dark, he drove a small boat and headed straight to Moon Moon Island not far away.

Waiting to pick them up by the pier were two well-built middle-aged men, one with a cut-shaved head and the other wearing a small felt hat, probably due to living at sea all year round, his skin is very dark bronze .

"Several police officers, thank you for your hard work, this way please." The little felt hat only regarded them as people from the city bureau, and politely led the way ahead.

On the contrary, Bancuntou looked at them suspiciously. Each of these policemen looks better than the other. They are thin-skinned and tender. They don't look like they have much experience. Are they reliable?

Zhao Wugou followed behind calmly, borrowing the identity of the Human Realm Police Station not once or twice, he was used to it.

After rejecting the invitation to drink tea, Yan Jun signaled the little felt hat to take them directly to the crime scene.

When fishing at night and returning to the island, fishermen usually go back to the pier to berth their boats, and the two people involved in the accident were no exception.Their boats came back, but they died on the shallows east of the pier.

Under the moonlight, the waves are sparkling, the sea waves are rolling up waves leisurely, and the beach is very calm.

"The corpse of Zhuzi was on the top last month." The little felt hat first took them to see the reef that was more than one meter above the water on the shore, and then led them to the beach. When I found it, I was almost lying here."

"The day Zhuzi died last month was at the same time as the high tide the day before yesterday," Bancuntou supplementarily pointed to the rear, "We all suspect that their bodies were washed over from the ghost reef."

"Ghost reef?" Zhao Wugou looked in the direction he pointed.

In the distance, there is only a dark stone forest, with a gloomy and cold atmosphere, dragging out long black shadows with angry claws in the dark night.

"Yes, there is a restricted area of ​​our Moon Island Island. It is haunted. People have died in the early years, so we dare not go in." The flat-cut head and the little felt hat showed a look of fear.

The fishermen are familiar with the direction of the current at the bottom. If they deduce from which direction the corpse came from based on the current and high tide time, there will be basically no mistakes.It seems that we have to go to the ghost reef to see.

Zhao Wugou and Yan Jun exchanged glances, Yan Jun nodded, "Go and have a look."

"What, are you going to Ghost Reef?" Banbutou and the little felt hat were a little stunned.

"Otherwise, why don't we go tomorrow during the day?" the little felt hat discussed.

Zhao Wugou looked at his phone and explained, "Our time is limited."

"Didn't you hear what I said just now? It's haunted!" Bancuntou showed an expression of "are you crazy?"

"Don't worry, with us, the last thing you need to be afraid of are ghosts!" Bai Wuchang raised the corners of his lips angrily, motioning for Bancuntou to lead the way.

Board size: ……………

The six people walked to the entrance of the stone forest, Zhao Wugou saw that the little felt hat and the bantou were really scared, so he said, "If you are really scared, you can go here. We will report directly to the bureau after we go in and see it. "

The two nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay, then you are busy."

After taking two steps, Bancuntou turned back and stuffed his flashlight and a whistle into Zhao Wugou's hands, and said, "You must be careful, if you need help, blow the whistle immediately, or go to the lighted sentry box at the pier Find us."

Zhao Wugou nodded gently, "Don't worry, we'll be fine."

Probably the few of them looked too calm, Banbutou and the little felt hat sighed, and left in doubt.

Stepping into the stone forest, the wind immediately became louder, and the temperature seemed to drop a few degrees.

Just as Zhao Wugou was about to speak, Yan Jun raised his eyebrows suddenly, "Who? Come out."

There was silence all around.

Yan Jun raised his chin in the direction of a rock, and Black and White Wuchang floated over.

"My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life!" The next second, a strong man walked out from behind the stone tremblingly holding his head.

When it came out of the shadow of the stone, Zhao Wugou couldn't help raising his eyebrows.It was the wolf demon with a gorgeous resume.

Bai Wuchang also recognized it, and said with a downcast face, "Did you kill those two?"

"I'm wronged, the little demon definitely didn't kill anyone." The wolf demon explained with his hands raised in fear.

Zhao Wugou looked at it, "What are you doing with us?"

"I'm afraid that something will happen to you at Ghost Reef, so I want to come in and protect you." The wolf demon lowered his head angrily. "The little demon doesn't know that you are so powerful, just now I thought you were ordinary humans."

Bai Wuchang sneered, "Protect us? You, a guy who tried to kill someone in the six palaces, still wants to protect us?"

"I'm wronged, I'm really wronged, the villain never thought of killing people." The wolf demon said anxiously, "Those things are all bad luck for the little demon."

"Let's hear it." Zhao Wugou expressed his willingness to hear the details.When he saw the row of records, he was a little surprised. If this wolf demon was really so vicious, the injury should be more serious.Especially the attempted murder line.

"The little demon is very unlucky, really." The wolf demon said dejectedly, "for the first time, the little demon was drinking with two new friends in a hotel. I beat those people away. I found out later that one of my friends picked up the bags of those who ran away. I was convicted of robbery with them.”

"The second time, my brother was beheaded by someone, and I helped him out. In the end, he actually brought a knife, and while I was holding that guy down, he stabbed him in the heart." The wolf demon said, "Lao Tzu More wronged than Dou E' expression.

Zhao Wugou: ……………

He clicked on the book of life and death and looked at it. Such an absurd situation was actually true.

In short, this bad luck monster has been imprisoned six times. It can be summed up in eight words. He made mistakes with drinking and chose friends carelessly.

After hearing about the experience of the wolf demon, Bai Wuchang laughed so hard that he lay on Hei Wuchang's shoulders and couldn't straighten up.This guy is comparable to that unlucky ghost in the underworld who tripped over stones while walking, combed his hair and stabbed his neck, and choked himself to death when drinking water.

"The little demon heard that something happened nearby, and he was afraid that the Public Security Bureau would blame me and expel me from the human world, so he wanted to help with the investigation, but in the stone forest, he found a flower spirit with a strange aura stealing food. Yang Qi, but it has a higher level of cultivation than me, so I can't beat it." The wolf demon lowered his brows, looking dejected.

"Flower essence? Take me there." Hearing about the flower essence, Bai Wuchang immediately pulled it up and walked towards the stone forest.Although the wolf demon was big and strong, Bai Wuchang picked him up as easily as a puppy.

"It seems that we are quite lucky, someone found the criminal for us in advance." Zhao Wugou raised his eyebrows at Yan Jun, lowered his head and took out his mobile phone to check, it happened to be exactly twelve o'clock in the evening.

"It's cold? How about we go back first?" Yan Jun saw Zhao Wugou raise his hand, thinking he was cold, but unexpectedly saw Zhao Wugou mysteriously take out an emerald green bag from his arms.

Yan Jun: ……………

"Happy birthday." Zhao Wugou curved his lips, and solemnly stuffed the longevity brocade pattern flute bag into the dazed Yan Jun's hand.

Yan Jun, who came back to his senses, was holding the brocade rope, and methodically unfastened the buckle of the rope, only to see a shiny jade flute in the bag, with four words engraved on the body of the flute, the sage is boundless.

"I rummaged through the memories of several lifetimes at the Mingjingtai to find it. Finally, I asked someone to rush to make the same one." Zhao Wugou took out another exactly the same flute from his arms and waved it in front of Yan Jun. After shaking, the words 'Gentleman Wugou' are engraved on the body of the flute.

In the night, he was covered with starlight and moonlight, his amber eyes were shining, and he smiled like a proud little fox.

A faint smile appeared in Yan Jun's eyes, he raised his hand and snatched the one from Zhao Wugou's hand, and then handed the one in his own hand to Zhao Wugou.

Zhao Wugou:? ? ?

"Keep mine in your arms and keep yours in mine. That's right."

Zhao Wugou: ......

Afterwards, Yan Jun meaningfully grabbed his partner's hand, rubbed it between his fingers, and interlocked his fingers ambiguously, "It's a beautiful day, it's a pleasure, come with me so that no one will disturb you." How about celebrating a birthday somewhere?"

Zhao Wugou, who felt a familiar crisis: ……………

A dozen nautical miles away, a tall luxury cruise ship stands quietly on the sea.

In the lobby on the third floor of the cruise ship, Tianjun was dragging Ji Man to play games, berating him while beating, "What are you running for, are you playing? The screen is full of running, are you here to play games or to run at night? "

Accompanied by the Queen Mother of the West, she looked helpless at the two sitting in front of the computer chatting furiously.

The little bun was holding a half glass of apple juice, and sat on the high chair beside the table with his short legs dangling. He looked at Tianjun who was having a great time playing games, and then at Bai Ze next to him, "Uncle Bai, When will my dad come back?"

"Your father and the others have some work to do, and they will be back soon." Bai Ze picked another small plate from the snack plate next to him, and placed it in front of the little guy.

"Uncle Bai, can I ask a question?" Little Hades rolled his eyes, showing a big dimple on his cheek, as if humbly asking for advice, "What do you mean by workaholic?"

"You don't even know about this?" Before Bai Ze could answer, Wu Yi, who was drinking a cocktail next to him, took the conversation and swore, "Workaholic, of course, means being manic when it comes to work! The light ones can be scolding, and the serious ones." It's just beating!"

It turned out to be the case.

Little Hades frowned childishly, and nodded in a sudden realization.

It's no wonder that every time he disturbed his father's work, he was either fined to write big characters or beaten.We must hide far away in the future.

White Pond:………………

Workaholic, can you still explain it like this?
