Roster of Demons

Gu Zhen left the small office and closed the door smoothly.

There was something wrong with his state, Fu Xiaozi raised his head from behind the computer and asked, "Are you okay, how about sending you back?"

Gu Zhen said: "I'm fine. I receive too much information at once, and I can't digest it."

Fu Xiaozi was full of suspicion: "Don't be brave."

"Comrade Xiao Fu, you should have some confidence in your cousin and believe that he can handle it. Right, Comrade Xiao Gu?" Liang Zhenguo said.

"That's right." Gu Zhenqiang lifted his spirits, cupped his hands and rubbed his face vigorously, "I'm no longer who I was back then."

"Tsk, you've got some patience." Fu Xiaozi said.

She wanted to say a few more words, but Liang Zhenguo cut her off: "Comrade Xiao Fu, have you finished writing your reply letter?"

Fu Xiaozi: "No..."

"Hold on before you finish writing, ah. Work should be the top priority. If there is nothing else, I will send Comrade Xiao Gu back first." Liang Zhenguo said and squeezed Gu Zhen's shoulder, "Let's go."

"No, no, no." Gu Zhen was flattered, "I can take a taxi back by myself."

"Don't be a mother-in-law." Liang Zhenguo said.

Gu Zhen had no choice but to bite the bullet and enjoy the treatment that the leader of the special third team personally drove him home.

The car was running smoothly, and the car radio was replaying the evening news.

Gu Zhen sat in the passenger seat and looked out the window.

When he returned to Yanyang City, he didn't pay special attention to the changes along the way, but when Fang Jing told him that the number of birds was growing wildly, Gu Zhen had no idea, nor did he have a particularly deep feeling.

But now, he was sitting in the car driving to the center of Yanyang, looking out the window, and the feeling of this personal experience became extremely strong.

It was supposed to be the time for birds to roost at night, but it was almost nine o'clock now, and the trees on the roadside were still full of various birds.

Black, white, familiar and unknown, different types of birds have eliminated racial barriers, folded their wings and gathered together.

They didn't make a sound, but when a car passed by, they would turn their heads, and pairs of cold round eyes with no eyelids moved with the car, from side to side.The secretive neatness is creepy.

It's not like simply staying, it's more like an organized dormancy.

This scene can't help but remind people of Hitchcock's thriller movie "The Birds".

Could these birds really be attracted by the little crow?

If it was really a little crow, why would he do this?

For the first time, for the first time, Gu Zhen's view of the little crow was shaken.

Maybe the little crow isn't as harmless as it seems.

He is a monster.

The idea of ​​monsters may not be so easy to ponder.

"Recently, birds have been besieging passers-by from time to time. Citizens and friends are advised to reduce travel as much as possible. Relevant departments have already started..."

Liang Zhenguo raised his hand and turned off the radio.

"How long?" Gu Zhen asked.

"Huh?" Liang Zhenguo asked.

"These birds look like this." Gu Zhen imitated turning his head back and forth.

"Recently." Liang Zhenguo thought for a while, and said, "I didn't find anything wrong at first, I just felt that the number of birds was increasing every day, there were more bird droppings on the road, and the sound of birds singing around. Suddenly one day, there was an explosion on TV. News of birds hurting people.

"It's amazing to look up. There are birds everywhere, in the garden, on the green trees, on the balcony, and at home. It's useless to drive them away in various ways. If you drive them away today, they can fly back tomorrow. Like a horror movie. Yes. Have you seen "The Birds"? I guess you haven't either. It's an old movie, and you young people won't be interested in watching it."

"I really watched it." Gu Zhen said, "The group activities organized by the school when I was in elementary school, and watching horror movies in the auditorium. There is no one in my childhood shadow."

Liang Zhenguo: "Your school is really bad hahahaha."

After laughing, he glanced at Gu Zhen and said, "Fang Jing spoke a little directly, maybe his tone was not very euphemistic, but he said it clearly. He has no malicious intentions, so don't take it to heart."

Gu Zhen didn't answer.

"It's not that we are prejudiced against the little crow. You've seen it too. If the city continues to develop like this, it will be over sooner or later." Liang Zhenguo said, "After you see the little crow, please persuade him. If he has any demands, just ask him." If we can solve it, we will try our best to solve it for him.”

"If he really did it, I might not be able to persuade you." Gu Zhen said truthfully.

"If you can't be persuaded, don't hide it. Let us know as soon as possible." Liang Zhenguo said, "Next Wednesday, the interns report that if the birds do not withdraw from Yanyang City before then, we will take coercive measures. At that time, no matter who they are Black Phoenix or Fire Phoenix all..."

Liang Zhenguo pursed his lips and concealed the words behind him.

No matter what he originally wanted to say, it couldn't be nice.

"That means there are still two days left." Gu Zhen said.

"Yes, two days." Liang Zhenguo said.

Liang Zhenguo wanted to go back to work overtime with the team members, so he put Gu Zhen at the gate of Yuehua Community and turned the car around.

After watching him leave, Gu Zhen lowered his head and crossed the road.He was thinking about how to speak when he saw the little crow, and almost bumped into the security guard at the door.

"Oh, be careful when you walk." The security guard held Gu Zhen's backpack, "It's quite heavy."

"Sorry, I didn't pay attention." Gu Zhen hurriedly raised her head and apologized.

The security guard looked at him twice: "Oh, it's Mr. Gu, long time no see, did you just come back from another place?"

"Yes, I've taken a long trip." Gu Zhen patted his backpack.

"Then you must have been frightened when you came back." The security guard put his hands on his hips and looked around with emotion, "The city is so evil recently, there are birds everywhere."

"Yes, it's really scary." Gu Zhen replied.

He didn't want to talk more about this topic, but obviously the security didn't know what he was thinking, so he continued to talk.

"But Mr. Gu, don't worry, we are absolutely safe here." The security guard pointed around the yard, "Last month, the latest bird repellents have been installed in the community, and isolation fences have been temporarily installed at every house, and birds will never fly. In the apartment."

"It's installed in my house too?" Gu Zhen looked at the floor where his house was located, it was too far away to see clearly.

"That's right. Mr. Gu is not away, we contacted your family, and we installed it with your consent." The security guard said, "The protective net was also pulled on the roof, and the original batch of pigeons were also chased away. Now there are no birds in the yard, so you can rest assured."

"What?" Hearing this, Gu Zhen became uneasy, "They all drove away?"

"We also know that it's not humane to do this." The security guard rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly, "But other residents have responded, and we can't do anything. But don't worry, when the bird problem is solved, the roof will continue Open up. Those pigeons want to come back, can come back..."

What else did he say later, Gu Zhen didn't continue to listen, and rushed into the apartment building immediately.

He stood in the elevator, anxiously waiting for the numbers to jump slowly one by one.

Fences and bird repellers were installed last month.

In other words, since then, Little Crow and Big Hui have not lived at home.

Later, the little crow went to the training center to teach him for more than half a month, but he didn't mention a word to him during this period.

It was as normal as if nothing had happened.

Why not mention it?

Don't want him to worry?Still don't want him to know?

The elevator stopped on the 27th floor, and Gu Zhen quickly took out the key to open the door.The doors and windows of the room were closed tightly, and there was a very faint smell of disinfectant.

At the beginning of each week, the housekeeper would come to the house to clean the house, but after a whole week, the smell has not dissipated.

It seems that the little crow really didn't live at home.

Gu Zhen threw down her backpack and sat down heavily on the sofa exhausted.

Before he came back, he was very entangled. He was afraid of seeing the little crow because he didn't know how to speak.

It's good now, probably some god has heard his prayer, so he doesn't have to meet him at all.

Gu Zhen turned on the TV.

After three months, the TV, mobile phone and tablet that seemed to be dying after leaving for a short time lost their due attraction to him.Gu Zhen watched for a while, lost interest, and silently turned off the TV.

Liang Zhenguo, no, to be precise, the anti-hunting alliance represented by Liang Zhenguo only gave him two days to communicate with the little crow, which was very urgent.

Gu Zhen resisted from the bottom of his heart, but he knew that this matter could not be delayed, and he had to make it clear to Little Crow.

Gu Zhen took out his phone.

【sorry!The number you have dialed is turned off. sorry! The subscriber you dialed dis power off.]

Gu Zhen was indescribably irritated.He dialed Da Hui's number again.

Also shut down.

At this point, where will they be and what will they be doing?

The more Gu Zhen thought about it, the more strange he became, he grabbed the key and ran to the rooftop.

He has no idea now, because there are too many factors that cannot be determined because he has not seen the little crow with his own eyes.

They had to be found, the crow had to be found.

The tap of slippers echoed in the corridor.

Gu Zhen didn't pay attention to her feet and accidentally tripped.Fortunately, he had quick eyesight and quick hands. Before he fell down, he put his hands on the ground, and took advantage of the situation to stand upright with a carp.

"Turtle boy?!" After seeing the culprit clearly, Gu Zhen was taken aback, "Why are you here?"

"Seeing that the lights are on downstairs, I guess you're back and want to go down and have a look." The voice of the tortoise boy was muffled in the tortoise shell, and he almost couldn't hear it clearly.

Gu Zhen picked up the tortoise and hid in a corner, poked the tortoise's shell: "Come out."

The tortoise boy didn't move.

Gu Zhen poked again: "Come out, I have something to ask you. If you don't come out again, I'll pry it with a stick."

Then the tortoise boy stretched out his head timidly, and looked around cautiously.

"Don't look at it, there is no one, and the camera can't take pictures." Gu Zhen said.

The tortoise boy turned into a human form, squatted on the ground, and wiped off his cold sweat: "I was suddenly stepped on, and I was so scared that my gallbladder burst."

I haven't seen him for a few months, but now the big fat man has lost a lot of weight, and he can vaguely see his neck.

"...Why are you so thin?" Gu Zhen couldn't bear to look directly at her.

It's okay if I don't mention it, but when I mention it, Guizi feels wronged: "The gray pigeons and sparrows have been driven away, and only me and my father are left. I, I am worried."

After the apartment building was built, Gray Pigeon Sparrow and Guizizi lived on the roof all the time, but they were suddenly driven away, and they don't know where they live now.

Gu Zhen couldn't help but also sighed: "Do you know where they went?"

"They?" Cub Tortoise asked, "Are you asking about Gray Pigeon or Boss?"

"They're not together?" Gu Zhen asked.

"The gray pigeons know your gym, and they moved to the roof over there." The tortoise boy said, "Boss, boss..."

"Don't hesitate." The tortoise boy hesitated to speak, but Gu Zhen couldn't help urging, "Where is he?"

"Boss, he seems to be living with his elder brother." said the tortoise boy.

"His brother?" Gu Zhen couldn't digest it, "You mean Little Crow's brother?"

"En." Turtle Boy nodded.

"Little crow has a brother?" Gu Zhen asked.

"Yeah." Mentioning this "brother", tortoise boy was terrified, and his voice trembled, "The fifth child of the Fenghuang family looks down on humans and little monsters with low demon power. You, you must Don't provoke him."
