Where are the monsters?

"I don't know if you have heard of a folk taboo, don't hang your clothes outside at night." Jiang Tian began to talk about the child theft incident, "The thing started from the child's diaper hanging outside at night. started."

Xie’s family imported Tianding, his wife gave birth to a baby girl, and the baby always needs to wear diapers. These days, diapers are wet and washed before reuse. There is no convenient one-time-use diapers.The baby's diapers are changed quite frequently, and one day they were left out to dry, and the family missed a piece of it.

"The next morning, Xie's mother-in-law found two small red dots on the diaper!"

Jiang Tian felt that Xie's mother-in-law didn't take it seriously, and it was justifiable, "The two red dots are really not big, they are about the size of a grain of rice. At first glance, no one contacted the blood drop, thinking it was just some fruit. The diaper was not used for the little baby girl any more. But who would have thought that the little baby girl who was only three months old would disappear after only two days.”

"What happened later?" Liang Zhizhi felt a little bit in his heart, it couldn't be...

"Dead." Jiang Tian said this matter helplessly, "This matter is very strange, this baby girl disappeared in the middle of the night. The baby was in the same room with Xie's son and daughter-in-law, and the sky opened slightly in August. Some windows, but the parents didn't sleep deeply, the baby would always cry at night, and they would get up at any time. However, no forced entry was found that day, in fact, there were no suspicious footprints from outside, this little baby was inexplicable When Xie's daughter-in-law woke up, she felt a gust of cold wind blowing into the room. She turned around and found that the child lying beside her was gone.

Xie's family was in a panic. The three-month-old baby girl couldn't walk. They searched around the house and woke up the neighbors in the middle of the night, but they didn't find any strangers.Xie's family called the police, but after the police investigated, there were no clues, no suspicious footprints, no signs of breaking into the door, and even less of climbing the window. The little girl seemed to be swept away by a gust of wind.

This incident caused quite a commotion. In less than two days, someone found the body of a baby girl at the foot of the back mountain. It was the missing baby girl of the Xie family.She was wearing the clothes she had when she disappeared. It was found that the little baby girl was suffocated to death, and it was later determined that the cause of death was suffocation.The strange thing came, a little bird feathers were found in her nostrils. The police have not been able to give a conclusion as to what kind of bird they belonged to. "

Hearing this, Mu Feng also became serious. He didn't expect to kill someone, and the dead one was still a baby.He had an ominous premonition that this Xie family's little baby girl might just be the beginning. "What happened later? Why did you pay attention to this matter?"

Jiang Tian continued, "In the next two weeks, there were two more such incidents. One of them found a body, but the missing baby girl of the Qian family is still missing. They came to me, no matter what method they used. To get the child back.

After my investigation, I discovered the connection between these three cases. All three of them hung their children's diapers outside at night, and there were two inconspicuous red drops of blood on them.From the red blood on the diaper, I can see that it has a fierce look.The second baby who died was also suffocated and had feathers in its nostrils.With these clues added together, I have reason to suspect that this is the case committed by Gu Huo Niao! "

Mu Feng agrees with Jiang Tian's reasoning. To ordinary people, this case seems to have no clues at all. The baby was killed as if it disappeared suddenly and strangely. Only strange feathers that had never been seen appeared in the nostrils of the corpse. Make people feel helpless.

"Guhuo bird, which has nine heads, usually haunts in July and August. It is transformed by the unwilling ghosts of dead pregnant women. They usually only haunt at night. If they see a baby's clothes drying outside and confiscate them, they will take them home. Put two drops of blood on the clothes as a mark, and then steal the baby while these people are not paying attention, and treat the baby as their own. However, there are very few records about how Guhuo Bird treated the baby after it stole the baby. "

Lu Wu said, "It's normal that there are few records in the back. After stealing the children, most people can't catch them. How can we continue to record? Most of these aunts are cruel, and most of the babies in their hands are full of blood. Death, some were directly killed, and some were thrown into the mountains casually, not to mention whether they would encounter wild beasts, or they would not be given food and drink for a few days, there is no chance for these babies to survive."

"They stole the baby and threw it away? Or killed it? Didn't they say that they raised the baby as their own? Two died this time, and there was no news about the other one. Maybe the baby was really left behind. Life, maternal instinct to raise her?"

Liang Zhizhi thought that since Gu Huo Niao was transformed by the ghost of a pregnant woman, she wouldn't be completely crazy about the child, right?

Mu Feng gave Liang Zhizhi a sweet look in his eyes, "You have to realize that the dead souls are generally not very rational, and rational dead souls are beyond the category of ghosts. This girl is born after the death of a pregnant woman. Out of resentment, they are obsessed with not giving birth to a child, and steal someone else's as their own. However, for Gu Huo Niao, this stolen thing is never their own.

In fact, there are similar cases among ordinary people. For example, the mother of a dead child stole other people's children as her own. This is a kind of emotional transfer, but once the child cannot satisfy her fantasy, it is very likely Killed, the perpetrator continued to look for the next target.The international community has started formal research on this kind of criminal psychology, and the United States also has a related profiling department. Have you never heard of such a perverted case? "

Liang Zhizhi shook his head, he really didn't pay attention to such perverted crimes.The scope of the wooden seal is a bit wide, why can't we develop in the direction of truth, goodness and beauty.For example, after he fell in love with a white rabbit, he specialized in fashion trends and designed popular furry tail shapes. Such hobbies are healthier.

Jiang Tian gave the general situation, and seeing that the three of Mu Feng also had a certain understanding of this, he said the key part of this mission, "Although I am basically sure that Gu Huo Niao committed the crime, but she caught the first Three children disappeared after that. We're going to find her, and we're going to get that kid back."

This is the difficulty. The places where the three children disappeared are not the same place, but they are all near the same mountain.The baby's body was found twice in the mountains, so it can be inferred that the baby bird should be somewhere in the mountain.But this mountain is not small, and more than half of it is undeveloped. Jiang Tian knows the approximate range, but he can't do anything about it.

"The guhuo bird left blood on the diaper, which is easy to track. If you have the feathers left by the guhuo bird in your hand, then the location can be more precise." Mu Feng is seven or eight percent sure, as long as they The feathers left by the crocodile will be able to pull out this beast.

Jiang Tian's eyes lit up. He had feathers, which he got from the first two victims.

The Qian family looked for the child everywhere, and they thought of asking Taoist priests for help when they had no other choice. Jiang Tian was not the only one to ask for this matter, but those who were looking for were really charlatans, and they didn't help at all except wasting time.

Jiang Tian's ability is not high, and his master is also half-baked. His master has always been a Taoist priest in the Town God's Temple, so he is close to the water and has a good relationship with the local city god. He opened the back door for Jiang Tian, ​​so that he can finally practice After some aura, you can be qualified to take some simple tasks in the City God.

Jiang Tian knew his abilities well. He had rich theoretical knowledge, but in actual operation, due to the limitations of his own skills, he was unable to face Gu Huo Niao head-on, so he immediately hung up the jade slip asking for help.

It should be said that this network of monks affiliated with the City God system has been used for thousands of years, and its operation is very mature.Each monk has his own code name after entering, and he can check how many tasks this code has received, and even find out the approximate difficulty of the task.There is no official recognition of this difficulty, but for example, using this incident of culling Guhuo Bird, some people think it is easy, while others think it is difficult, but they can more or less understand what mission this monk has taken.

In fact, the specific content of the task will not be written out in detail, because the two parties will only communicate in detail in private. On the surface, it is found that the soy sauce releases the task of capturing the young bird. If the wooden seal is completed, after the code name of the wood There is a sign of completion.

However, Lu Wu thinks that such a relatively simple record exchange network can already see many problems.Assuming that Lu Wu didn't sleep for tens of thousands of years, he came out of the mountains during the Qin Dynasty, and then joined this monk network. He has the ability but does not fly to the upper world, and has been active in the world, then his identity record has It's a long list.

Of course, who doesn't have a few vests, if you feel that this vest has existed for too long, it will make people guess unreasonably, then it doesn't matter if you start all over again.Lu Wu had nothing to do, so he observed the monk network a little bit. He found that the monk network was very interesting. Basically, the first mission of all the monks who placed orders was after [-]. Lu Wu was sure that this Many people have used new vests, and the code names they used before have been suspended.

It seems that around [-], there was a major change in this network of contacts.

These are not important right now, finding that child is the top priority.

Mu Feng took the blood-dripping diaper and the remaining feathers. He has learned the tracking technique, and he can find the trace of the bird. As long as there are no special restrictions in this place, he can even see the tracked person doing What.

Mufeng drew a star map out of thin air, threw the feather into it, only saw the star map flashing golden light, and then rushed to the sky, somewhat like a global positioning, found the location of the Guhuo bird, and then they A virtual image of Guhuo Niao appeared in front of his eyes.

I saw a nine-headed human-faced bird in a place overgrown with wild grass, and each of her nine heads had a ferocious expression.And her wings flapped violently, and there was a poor baby crying beside her.

Jiang Tian saw the baby girl's appearance. The baby's condition was not good, and her face was flushed, but at least this was good news, the baby girl was still alive.
