The Fantastical Beasts at World's End

Nie Renyan rubbed his right eye, where the pain had completely disappeared, stood up lazily, and walked towards the sink in the bathroom, saying, "Well, that's right, nine heads and one half neck, the one in the middle looks a little Like an owl, with a body like a duck, and—” He stood in front of the mirror of the washbasin, looked at his right eye, except for the blood stains on his face that had not been wiped off, he couldn’t tell he had been injured just now .He turned on the faucet and turned on the water to wash his face, put his hands on the edge of the porcelain sink, thought about it, and said: "That thing seems to have no substance, I can't stop it, even if I stretched out my hand to strike it, I just scratched it from its chest However, there is no touch at all, tsk, in short, I can’t touch it at all, just like a shadow.”

The master slapped his thigh, made a crisp sound of "pop", and said, "That's basically the same thing!"

Ye Zhao turned his head to look at the worried master who was frowning: "Why, master, you already know what it is?"

"Well." The master pondered for a while, and said: "Listen—forget it, you definitely don't know. That kind of bird is called a ghost car, also known as a nine-headed bird. According to the book, it actually had ten heads, but Later, it was chased and bitten by a tengu, and one of them was broken, so wherever it went, there would be blood dripping from the broken neck. This kind of bird is nocturnal, because it is afraid of light... hiss—yes, they are afraid of light!" The master couldn't figure it out, "It is said that light as big as a candle can stun them. The base doesn't say that the lights are bright, but there is some light. Why didn't they fall down?"

"Not everything written in the book is correct, maybe those deformed birds are different now, maybe they are used to this level of light." Nie Renyan took a towel to dry the water on his face and came out. Pretending to be chatting, she inadvertently sat on Fang Siyuan's bed, next to Ye Zhao.

Ye Zhao: "..."

"Habits?" The master curled his lips, touched the beard on his chin and said, "To be honest, there are actually many things that ordinary people don't know, and some unexplainable phenomena that are spread by the people are indeed related to some gods and ghosts." Otherwise, there would be no such people as us. However, this kind of strange creatures handed down from ancient times has never appeared. Although the old man knows about these creatures, he also read them from books. Long Whether it's the right one, the ghost car, or the two you reported..." The old man paused, then looked at Nie Renyan: "Even including you, I have never found any records in the previous special incident files."

Nie Renyan sneered: "I used to not know that I was Qiongqi, so you know where to go."

Master: "...Aren't you just born?!! The old man also wondered why you were not killed as a monster when you were born."

"..." Nie Renyan took a breath and twitched the corners of his mouth: "Old man, you really don't deserve to be beaten at 01:30 sometimes! Tsk, I have always been a human! A normal person! Just a few years ago suddenly Without consciousness, when I woke up, I became like this.”

"Is that so—" the master elongated his voice, still a bit puzzled: "Then you... have been reincarnated for many lives, and then the primordial spirit started to wake up? That is also possible, after all, according to the book, the poor Chi later died."

Nie Renyan: "..." I really have a grudge against you, right?Two sentences die twice =_,=

Seeing that the two people talked more and more, Ye Zhao couldn't help reminding: "Master, is there any way to deal with the ghost cars you mentioned earlier? After all, it seems that they are not so afraid of the light now. Once they rush It will be a bit tricky to deal with when you come down and hurt people."

The master shook his head, frowned and said: "It's a trivial matter to stab wounds. What's terrible is that it is recorded in the book that they are good at sucking people's souls. The blood on your dagger is cold and cold. I'm afraid it's because they suck people's souls." If this is the case, it will be difficult." He looked at Nie Renyan, "I heard you say before that they are completely untouchable like shadows?"

"Yes." Nie Renyan nodded, "Now that I think about it, the bird's wings can be three meters wide. The cave in front of the cave we stayed in was very narrow, and it was only half the height of a person. It stands to reason that they couldn't fly in. Yes, unless they take their wings and go, but they obviously pass through without any obstacles, then it is very likely that the rocks are useless to them, they have no entity..."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Zhao suddenly interrupted: "No, if there is no entity at all, you can't touch it, and it shouldn't be able to touch you, but it pecked one of your eyes..."

"You mean?" Nie Renyan thought for a while and said, "It only has a beak as a solid body?" He clicked his lips, "Another strange-looking one."

The master found the key message in their conversation: "If only the beak is different from the rest, that is either its greatest weakness or its strongest."

Ye Zhao said lightly: "Weaknesses and strengths sometimes have the same meaning."

"As long as there is an entity, you can find a way to deal with it. I'm afraid you won't be able to catch or touch it at all." Nie Renyan paused for a while and then said, "Then why can your dagger go straight into its heart? Speaking of which, your daughter-in-law The throwing knife is really accurate, it has the momentum of piercing Yang with a hundred steps, not bad!" He looked terrified, as if saying that Lao Tzu's people are different.

Ye Zhao looked at him expressionlessly: "What did you call me just now? Are you dizzy?" His tone was very flat, but when he spoke, he seemed to glance at the dagger in the master's hand very casually, and then glanced at it again. Between Nie Renyan's legs.

Nie Renyan was keenly aware of the threat behind his words, twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I forgot to take the medicine, my tongue is a little numb, and I made a mistake if I didn't turn around for a while."

"As for the dagger," Ye Zhao continued calmly, "I threw it casually at the time, and I didn't aim it on purpose. If I hit it, it means I was lucky, and if I miss it, it won't have much impact."

"What doesn't affect much?! I'm the one who misses the knife!" Nie Renyan protested excitedly.

"So it doesn't have much impact."

Nie Renyan: "..." I must have offended Ye Zhao by being too sloppy recently.But isn't it only men who are dissatisfied with desires who are hot and angry? !Ye Zhao was relieved!The ones who really want to be dissatisfied are here!He should be in a hurry, shouldn't he? !

It's a pity that he forgot again. He moved his paw to Ye Zhao's back just now while speaking, so Ye Zhao heard his slander again tragically.

Ye Zhao's body stiffened instantly when he heard "Release", his ears turned red, but his face turned livid. He almost gritted his teeth and said, "Next time I will definitely throw the knife in the wrong direction!"

The master who was half understanding at the side looked at the ceiling with his hands behind his back and pretended that he didn't exist, but he couldn't pretend the next second, because there was a knock on the door outside, and a person asked at the door: "Master, where are you?" Is it? Someone found a group of zombies that looked like hairy monkeys in the woods to the north, which frightened the public. Most of the patrol officers that were lined up every day clamored to change their errands. Patrol is death. The mayor and the others want you to go over and deal with it." He must have been frightened, and his voice sounded trembling.

Without the master's signal, the stone quickly turned down from the upper bunk, rushed over to open the door, and the master put his hands on the door with his broad robe and wide sleeves behind his back, pretending to be tall for a while, then turned around, stroked his beard and looked at the human being led in by the stone, saying: "Zombie?"

The man's legs were weak when he entered the door, and he didn't know how hard he had to climb up to the fifth floor. When he saluted the master, his calves were still shaking, his face was a little blue, and his forehead was still sweating coldly.Zombies really challenge their psychological endurance...

Nie Renyan raised his eyebrows and reminded the master in a low voice: "I left Changyou there, and a yellow talisman was pasted on each forehead."

Master: "..." This person is born to fear that the world will not be chaotic!

"Why didn't you solve it smoothly?" The master hummed in a low voice from his nose: "What the hell are you dragging back? Are you adding food?!"

Ye Zhao said lightly: "For you, they are not bad in nature, and they are good as pets."

Master: "..." Nima, who wants to raise a group of monkeys that spout water when they bark twice!Is there a life to support?

"You can stick the talisman all the time." Ye Zhao saw through his thoughts and reminded.

Master: "..." How is that different from raising zombies!Do they serve extra food? !

The person who came to notify couldn't hear what they were talking about, just thinking about the pile of hairy zombies downstairs, his forehead was sweating, and he couldn't help but said: "Master, the mayor and the others are still waiting." He finished speaking , seemed to think of something again, shivered and said: "By the way, master, some people in the base said that their family members did not know what happened, and they have been in a daze since the flood, as if suddenly stupid. Wouldn't it be... Could it be that he was taken in by a zombie?" He was frightened by his own guess, and his voice trembled more and more.

The master waved his hand: "Don't shake, those downstairs are not zombies, and those people are not because they were taken by zombies."

"Master, how do you know?" The man looked up at the master with a look of surprise.

"Do you have an opinion on the old man's calculations?!" The master glared at him, then flicked his sleeves and said, "Stop talking, take the old man down and collect those things."

The man's admiration for the master immediately rose to another level, and he hurriedly led the way and led the master and apprentice Shishi down.

Seeing that the dormitory was finally empty again, Nie Renyan immediately tore off the loyal dog's skin, revealing his animal nature, and planned to bring Ye Zhaoguai to the bed, but before he succeeded, the door rang again, but this time it was the sound of a key being inserted into the lock. Then Luo Xiaochen bluffed, and came before anyone approached: "It's really insightful! It turns out that real zombies look like monkeys! Do you think we will become long-haired monkeys in a hundred years after we die?"

Xia Zhiming scolded angrily: "Who is with you! After a hundred years, remember to tell me if you cheated on your corpse, and I will definitely burn you clean and sprinkle it into the Pacific Ocean to satisfy your wish of returning your soul to the sea. Thank you!"

In the room, Nie Renyan, who was dissatisfied with desire, cursed fiercely in his heart: Damn, will I die if I let my wish come true once? !
