High priest

At around six o'clock in the morning on the fourth day, the street cleaners stopped at a remote alleyway with their cart.She slowly unloaded the dustpan and broom, smiled and greeted the early passers-by, and then walked into the alley to dispose of the garbage.

Half a minute later, the terrified scream of the cleaner suddenly came from the alleyway: "Ahhh——"

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

"Killed, killed..." She tremblingly stretched out her finger to the alleyway, tears streaming down her face, "Man, killed!"

Careful women immediately called the police, and bold men walked inside in groups of three or four.Not long after, short exclamations from the men sounded out one after another, and two of them even rushed out covering their mouths, rushing into the flower bed and vomiting wildly.

"Call the police!"

"Everyone, don't go in, don't block, give way to the police!"

"Stay away! All spread out... Ugh!"

Someone died in the alley, and the death was terrible.Dried blood scabs filled the trash can, and broken bones were stuffed inside in a twisted posture.Half of the head was embedded between the two strands of the corpse, and the only remaining eye was not closed, staring straight at the person...

Those who see it are 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 taken away for psychological counseling, and the rest of the witnesses gathered together, and you pieced together clues one by one.

"I know this person." The witness, who was vomited in the dark, was relieved, and said weakly, "Although there is only half of his face, that face is one of us called 'Zhang Liu'."

"Zhang Liu?"

"A bastard in our area." The witness said, "I don't study well, beat my parents, idle around all day and like to do some sneaky things."

"The character is not very good. I harassed a few older girls a year ago, and was beat up by the girl's family. I was honest for half a month. Later, I changed to harass female students, and I was detained several times."

"Apart from these, he has never provoked any enemies, and somehow..."

Another person said: "I heard that he gambled, could it be the creditor?" He made a gesture of wiping his neck, and then he was confused, "If it is really the creditor, there must be a sound of the beheading, right? But it is strange that we didn't hear it in this area." sound."

The witnesses chattered, and it took a while to stop.

The officers assembled the intelligence and kindly sent the witness home.When there were no more outsiders at the scene, a senior police officer wore gloves and gently scratched the blood scab, looked at the victim's body again, and said, "The monster's hunting method has changed."

"Huh? How do you say it?"

"At the beginning, it kept the parts it didn't like, 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 'good meal'."

"I dealt with a 'circus lion cannibalism case' in the early years. Compared with the two, it is more and more similar to the way lions treat their prey. They will eat half and keep half, mark the hunting ground, and then patrol Go through the territory and the forbidden food, and finally come back to eat the corpses left behind."

The senior police officer pointed to the blood scabs: "These are marks." Then he pointed to the corpse, "If we take its prey away, it may chase the prey and break into the police station."

Hearing this, Gang Bing said: "That would be great, just set fire to kill it! Team Shen, we..."

"I mean 'if', not 'absolutely'." The senior police officer smiled wryly, "The monster is not a lion after all, it has a brain, and can hide and hide. This corpse is taken away by us, and it may just abandon it. The second one."

Shen Yunting nodded and said, "That's right. Besides, the deceased...he didn't appear on Zeng Mengchu's network."

In other words, their worst fears came true.

The death of innocent people who do not exist in the network means that the monster hunters have shifted from "perpetrators" to ordinary people.It also implies that people in the entire Dafan County may become each other's food.

Here, it became its hunting ground.

"Are we currently in the east of the city?"

"Correct."

Shen Yunting thought for a moment, then called Sino City: "Zeng Mengchu has already entered the city. We are currently guarding the east of the city and the police station, and I will trouble you in the other three directions."

Even if the Awakened are not regular soldiers, they are not a formal team linked to a national organization. What's more, they won't even be recognized publicly for running errands and saving lives.But Shen Yunting knew that even if the world didn't award them the medals they deserved, they would still have no hesitation for the world.

After all, their goodwill has never been wiped out by reality, and their blood is still boiling for the goal.The Awakened are not the same as ordinary people, but they are the same.

Sure enough, he opened his mouth, and the people in Sino City responded without asking any questions.

"A new victim has appeared, and he has nothing to do with Zeng Mengchu." Shen Yunting paused, ready to sound out, "Ji Si...has he mentioned who are more likely to suffer?"

Following the awakened person, the more he gets along with him, the more mysterious Ji Si becomes.Adhering to the strategy of "only watching from a distance, not disturbing", he calmly acts as an observer.

The more he observes, the more cautious his attitude towards Ji Si becomes.I don't know if it's his illusion, but most of the time, he feels that Ji Si is very much like a person who plays chess slowly.Be it human beings or monsters, they all seem to be his pawns on the chessboard.

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

"Not mentioned, but hinted."

Sinocheng was the first person to know Ji Si, and has been chasing him with a strong desire to win.Although it can't be said that he knows a lot about Ji Si, there is actually a lot.

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

"You might as well look it up, what are the common problems of these dead people? Or, what exactly did they indulge in to pay the price of their lives?"

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

He suddenly remembered something——

On the night when he first arrived in Dafan, Qi Xinli broke into their room with a smile and holding a stack of unspeakable business cards, and said, "Come on, I'll do the whole job for you, tonight to clean up pornography!"

"I really didn't expect that Ji Si, who is so virtuous, would actually look through this kind of business card." Qi Xinli said, "In my impression, he should not look at the business card at a glance, but step on it on the spot. People from the past."

【He should be the one who stepped on the spot without looking at it. 】

【He should not look at it...】

Yes, that's right!If there were no ghosts here, would Keith have acted so abnormally?

Business cards, contact numbers, door-to-door delivery, indulgent male customers and women who betrayed themselves for their lives...It turns out that Ji Si gave hints at the beginning and reminded them who are vulnerable to disaster.

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

It was the same for those who persecuted Zeng Mengchu, and it was also the same for those who died at her hands.People who indulge themselves are indeed unable to resist the 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 in vain!

He turned around and ran back to the brigade, quickly stating the information.

Not long after, the captain of Dafan sternly said: "A notice must be issued! Now, immediately! Just say that the 'monster that will turn into a woman' has entered the city, and let those people with brains on their waistbands catch it clearly. The heart is going to die!"

However, they also understand that those who are accustomed to indulgence will not care about the police's notice 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 occurred in the east of the city again.In desperation, the police dispersed most of their personnel to various places in the east of the city to search, but they didn't know that the popularity of the police station gradually faded, revealing the smell of "designated prey".

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

A girl in blue and white school uniform stood in the shadow of the alleyway, tilted her head and smiled: "So there it is."

Just cross three streets to get there.However, she is not in a hurry to eat him now.There are a lot of fresh food in this city, they are very easy to cheat, you can eat them with just a click of your fingers, much more delicious than her good friends.

"I'm hungry again..."

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

Meanwhile, in the hotel suite.Even though there was a lot of chaos outside, Ji Si was still working as a nanny and taking care of the children dutifully.

He seems to like telling fairy tales to children very much, and he tells them all afternoon.With his gentle voice and vivid description, Jiang Qining and Yu Mingyang also listened to it unconsciously.

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

"The root system of the tree of life extends outwards and runs through every corner of the universe, giving rise to countless divine beings. Among them, the most powerful races are dragons, gods, light elves, and Sirians... They are like the tree of life The fruits that grow on the tree will fall from the branches when they are ripe, and spread to all parts of the universe to take root and grow, bringing light to every corner.”

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

Shu Yuting rested his hand on his chin: "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, that's all."

The little girl laughed happily, innocently.

Storytelling loses track of time, though, and kids are always hungry fast.When a "grunt" sounded from the child's belly, the three big men in the room finally realized that it was time for the meal, and the cub had to be fed.

As the only labor force, Jiang Qining took the child and pushed Yu Mingyang into the elevator.Although he knew that Ji Si seldom ate, he still asked habitually, "Can I bring you something?"

He waited for a "No, thank you", but Ji Si smiled and said, "I really need your help to bring something."

"Eh?"

"Bring me an 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 very good, the person who shouted No.1 should obediently stay in the hotel and meditate, instead of going out and being targeted by monsters.

However, since Ji Si opened his mouth, it's probably nothing to worry about.If there was a real danger, Ji Si should be looking for Brother Cheng instead of him.

"Amethyst, violet..." he muttered, "There should be a jewelry store nearby, right?"

After dinner, Jiang Qining sent Yu Mingyang back to his room and handed Shu Yuting to Ji Si.After that, Le Diandian went downstairs, planning to order a spicy hot pot while looking for crystals to satisfy his cravings.After eating the hotel buffet for four days, he was almost tired of eating.

But Jiang Qining is very loyal, and if he eats something, he must call Yu Mingyang: "What do you want for supper, I will bring it to you!"

"Chuan Chuan Xiang, rice rolls, Malatang!" The voice was full of air.

"Okay!" Jiang Qining rushed out like a gust of wind.And being true to his own desire, he took the lead in rushing to the supper stand.

The fragrance comes and goes, and the condiments rise and fall in the soup.There were people coming and going around him, and before he knew it, he felt someone standing beside him.

"Big brother." Qingli's gentle voice, with a little coquettish hook, "It's getting dark, and I'm a little scared by myself, can you take me home?"

Jiang Qining stared at the undulating beef balls, and glanced absently to the side.Oh, blue and white uniforms, middle school students?

"The street lights are on, let your dad pick them up if you're afraid!"

girl: ...

Hearing that there was no sound around him, Jiang Qining finally turned his eyes away from the crab meat and turned to the girl's face.To be honest, although this girl is young, she is indeed a rare beauty.

However, no matter how beautiful the beautiful girl is, what does it have to do with him?This is a minor!

Jiang Qining was indifferent: "If you are worried, how about I call 110 and ask a police uncle to wait with you, okay?"

girl: ...

After a long time, the beautiful girl said, "My parents are not at home."

"Then ask your relatives to pick you up." Jiang Qining's triple kills of "Let your father pick you up", "Let the police pick you up" and "Let your relatives pick them up" directly knocked out the beautiful girl.

The girl stood there in a daze, staring at him with wide eyes, as if she was looking at something unique.

Seeing that no one was leaving, Jiang Qining looked at her, then at Malatang, and seemed to struggle for a long time before saying: "...Why don't I treat you to this Malatang, and stop staring at me."

The girl suddenly infarcted: ...

As a cannibal monster, she really has no dignity at all!

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

PS: Demon: I don’t want to eat your Malatang!Did you hear me clearly, I won't eat!

Jiang Qining: Come, come, have a taste, don't rush to refuse, it's super delicious!

demon:……
