Manual of the Monster in City

55 Tiger Town's Five Poisons

Time seems to have been suspended.

    The moment the tiger lowered his body, Jia Qingming could see that his strong muscles tightened as if he could jump and pounce at any time.

    But it just lowered its head slightly, like a human being bowing to everyone. It seems...it accepted the human apology.

    Then it turned around and walked towards the depths of the forest without looking back. The figure quickly disappeared between the trees. Only the people who were deeply shocked by this scene are left.

    It seems that these creatures who have been driven to the edge of the world by people should have lived freely in nature, but are now divided into various places by the intricate road network. Although they have resentment in their hearts, as long as human beings show one Just a little bit of awe and respect.

    Many workers who looked at each other also knelt down and kowtowed silently in the direction where the tiger disappeared.

    Master Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief, he saw it, and finally... it finally chose to forgive as well and chose to forgive all these faults, so that they stopped in patience.

    He felt that tears flowed from his eyes, hot tears flowed down his long-tanned, wrinkled cheeks, and there was a sense of relief in his smile, with a cry of joy, even though he was over half a hundred years old. , But burst into tears in this quiet and lush forest.

    Yuan Mu-mutou solemnly made a very formal deep bow, and Edogawa was so moved that he took off his glasses and wiped his tears with the back of his hand.

    Xiao Shanshan was so touched that she continued to take pictures of this scene very professionally with her mobile phone, just as the sun slipped from the west, covering the scene with a soft warm yellow brilliance and being condensed into the eternal light and shadow of the photo.

    From just now, she has been working hard to leave this touching scene, including the tiger bowing gracefully to everyone, and then gradually disappearing into the depths of the forest. Although the angle and the light and shadow are only the levels of a layman, she believes it is enough to convey The students who saw the new issue of the school magazine.

    At the same time, Jia Qingming was also relieved over there.

    Is it really just a false alarm?

    He watched this warm scene, his nerves finally relaxed, his body felt exhausted, and now he was sweating.

    "Finally caught up." An equally relaxed voice came from a very close, very low position. Jia Qingming lowered his head and saw that he did not know when he stood beside his feet, which looked like a pocket-sized piece of wood with hands and feet. He was so scared that he quickly raised his foot and moved a few steps aside as if he was afraid. At any time, one would accidentally step on this guy.

    "what?"

    It's the ghost that lives in that tree, so it's called the tree spirit for convenience.

    In the forest, they frightened them with the illusion of a pack of wolves, but Xiaobai pulled them out and used a baseball bat to slap the little ghost.

    "Why are you here?"

    "Hmph, if there are no small ones, you think that arrogant dead tiger will really come to apologize." Shuling's small arms were on his waist. "After all, it's an old guy who has lived so long."

    "So you did it just now?"

    "Of course, the little one came here specially to follow Master Bai's instructions."

    Calling Xiaobai as Lord Bai sounds like a violent sense of disobedience.

    So Shu Ling recounted the scene without question.

    On the way to the tiger cave, Xiaobai suddenly thought that time might not be enough, and although she can persuade the tiger to stop harming people, it is not a problem whether it is with the mouth or the fist, but if you want to persuade someone to be very old A wise tiger was born again. It is too difficult to express forgiveness for human behavior here.

    So she waved a baseball bat and slammed it against a tree, the branches swayed, the leaves rustled, and the tree spirits like small wooden blocks with arms and legs were struck vigorously and rolled from the tree hole underneath. Came out.

    It is not difficult for it to find alien humans entering the forest, but it is too difficult for it to rush to it quickly. It hurriedly hurried, and supported itself by the terrible horror of baseball bat hell, and finally rushed in time. To.

    An abnormal wind is rising in the forest.

    Those winds are entrapped by the breath of the spirit, passing through the top leaves, and wind flows through them, making subtle noises, converging into a strange symphony.

    Through the influence of hearing, they caused people to have strange hallucinations. They saw the illusory scene in which the tiger bowed gracefully and accepted their apologies.

    "Hey! Are you a lie?!" Jia Qingming said.

    "Well." The tree spirit spread his hands to both sides, "Master Bai will do the rest. It must be no problem. The small one is just a small favor. Moreover, even if it is a lie, it is a reassuring white lie. "As the tree spirit said, he walked to a nearby tree hole without looking back.

    "Ok."

    "Remember to say to Master Bai that the little one completed the task very well! Don't embarrass the little one anymore! It's so hard to be a ghost these days, there are big bosses who can't be offended everywhere..."

    Why do you, a little ghost who has lived in the forest for a lifetime, become so skilled?

    "What have you been talking to yourself since just now?" Su Qiang turned his head and asked Jia Qingming.

    "Ah...it's nothing." Jia Qingming quickly denied.

    He always felt that such things should not be told to Su Qiang. For example, there are all kinds of unscientific things in this world, there are spirits formed by all things, there are spirits condensed from people's thoughts, and such things that ordinary people can't see with naked eyes. Things exist, and...

    The shop that fulfilled the wish and the shopkeeper who ate the meat of the beast Bai Ze and immortalized.

    After all, Su Qiang is a girl who wants to become a police officer in the future. If she misleads her with this kind of thing, she won't think about everything in ghosts in the future, right? Then her career prospects are basically over.

    Jia Qingming said for her sake,

    "There really is something?" Su Qiang said suddenly, "I can't see it. They can't see it either. But...you can see it, and you can communicate with them. Is that true?"

    Jia Qingming raised his hand and gently scratched his cheek with his fingers.

    However, this is a very standard subconscious action when you want to lie. He realized that Su Qiang's stern look of "I have seen it, let's be honest", he had to exhale a long breath, a confession.

    "Well, it's really like that. That kind of thing should be called a ghost. I can see it, although I don't really want to see that kind of thing..."

    Su Qiang nodded, her cold face showed a smile, just like the frozen river water enlightened in spring. "I thought the last time was a mistake. I didn't expect you to be really capable."

    "I thought you wouldn't believe this kind of weird power anyway... the future Officer Su Qiang."

    "Cough cough. Don't be close, this kind of trick is useless to me." Su Qiang said with a slight reduction of a smile, but the cold cheeks did not seem to exude the inaccessible chill of outsiders. "Moreover, what I said before: once the impossible is eliminated, no matter what is left, no matter how impossible it seems, it must be the truth."

    "Good, good." Jia Qingming sighed helplessly, and the Sherlock Holmes fan began to talk about classic lines again.

    "What do you mean by this attitude?" Su Qiang glanced sideways.

    "Uh……"

    "Tomorrow! But you are going to school, don't let me catch you for not doing your homework."

    "I..." Jia Qingming felt very painful thinking that he had been helping to solve this matter in the past two days...

    At this moment, the camera's flash flashed in white, shaking Jia Qingming astonished. Xiao Shanshan's lively laughter followed: "Ahhhhh! Have you been discovered? Senior Qingming and Senior Sister Su Qiang flirting. The next issue of the school magazine will..."

    "Delete." Su Qiang stared coldly.

    "How about not deleting it?"

    Su Qiang took a few steps forward quickly, trying to grab the phone from her.

    "Wow! Senior Yuan, save me! A tigress is about to hurt someone!" Xiao Shanshan hurriedly hid behind Yuan Mu-mutou, with Yuan Mu-mu's masculine physique just blocking Su Qiang's cold arrogance.

    Jia Qingming watched this joyous scene, not knowing that it was the first few times that he felt that his life could finally return to the right track, returning to a world full of troubles, instead of a world full of strange powers.

    "It's done!" Xiaobai suddenly jumped out from behind and patted his shoulder.

    "Is it all right?"

    "Yeah! I have a lot of fun here." She said cheerfully.

    "What do you mean having fun!"

    "It's very fun! Qingming, anyway, welcome your next visit." Xiaobai put her index finger and middle finger close together and waved forward on the corner of her forehead.

    Jia Qingming: "..."

    Then she half-covered her mouth and slandered to herself: "If you don't call me for a long time, I'll just call the tiger spirit out to make a fuss."

    "Hey! You are fishing!"

    "La la la ♪~"

    This guy is not listening to people at all!

    ————

    The roar of tigers.

    Jia Qingming, who was washing the dishes in the Stealing Pavilion's kitchen, suddenly heard a tiger roar.

    When I looked back, I saw a plain white Hanfu cloth embroidered with tiger patterns. It seemed to hold several poisonous insects under its paws. Jia Qingming recognized scorpions, poisonous snakes, and centipedes at a glance. The other two were spiders and lizards.

    "It's the Five Poisons." The master of the Hanfu began to speak, and the epic Hanfukong in the Stealing Pavilion should have no one but Bai Ling. "This is the Five Poisonous Map of Tiger Town, which means to expel the plague. It is about to enter the winter. The more at this time, the more you should take care of your body.

    "Thank you……"

    "After all, someone is a weak feminine physique, more than a girl with more Yin Qi—"

    "Will you die if you don't add this sentence?" Jia Qingming vomited in pain.

    "By the way, the tiger returned the little finger, and I have sent it back to the original owner with a magical spell. Master Lin is not a ghost, but a human who has entered into a contract similar to a ghost with the tiger, so Mr. Qingming Don’t worry about Master Lin’s future either.” Bai Ling said, raising his Hanfu sleeves to cover his mouth, “The price of magic is naturally...”

    "Is it the price paid from me..."

    "Mr. Qingming is really smart." Bai Ling praised.

    "It's not a good thing at all!"

    "Mr. Qingming is a manager. Although dealing with monsters is not comparable to ghosts, everything has a destiny. The tiger spirit in the mountains and forests of Shenting County naturally remembers the kindness of Mr. Qingming. Speaking of which, the monsters will be able to treat her husband in the future. Naturally, there is more help than ghosts."

    "It sounds like I should be happy..." Jia Qingming's shoulders slumped.

    "One more thing." Xiaobai ran over to join in the fun.

    "Ah, that's the case. I thought about it at afternoon tea. It is said that the project was canceled. Many people doubted the rationality of the development license, so they reported it. The project has been reviewed again." Bai Ling said, " But there is public opinion, it will not pass this time."

    "It sounds like the end of a happy reunion!" Jia Qingming said.

    "Yes, I bought some macarons to celebrate. Please also trouble Mr. Qingming to prepare afternoon tea."

    "Afternoon tea! Afternoon tea!" Xiaobai booed.

    "Afternoon tea!" Xiao Hei's voice penetrated the wall and reached here.

    "Good..." Jia Qingming's face was full of black lines.

    There is a warm and beautiful scene in Tooting Pavilion.

    However, in Miss Bai Ling's boudoir, there was a detailed investigation document on the small table beside her bed. The information was collected by the hands of Xiao Hei. A thick pile of paper, various reports, magazine scraps, and web materials all point to the same end--

    Tower of Babel Group.

    ————

    Inside a gym in a city.

    This is a completely private VIP fitness room. Any piece of fitness equipment is specially adjusted for the guests here. It can be used directly without any adjustments. The luxurious large LCD screen TV shows, also They are all customized according to customer preferences.

    Everything is prepared for one person.

    And this man who enjoys these high-end customizations is now swaying sweat on the treadmill. Even if not because of sweat, the black shirt is already tightly stretched on the body because of the developed muscles, revealing the muscular contours full of male hormones.

    The assistant in a suit walked into the room because there was a call from work.

    The man slowed down the treadmill, adjusted his breathing quickly, and signaled the assistant to connect to the phone.

    "I'm sorry! Mr. President, this matter..." The voice on the phone was frightened.

    "Shenting County, right? That kind of thing doesn't matter. I have asked someone for compensation for the vegetation on the mountain, and they are all under processing."

    "I'm really sorry! I won't disturb you then."

    The man made a gesture, and the assistant immediately cut off the call, like a housekeeper dressed in black in every movie and TV series, stepped back, bowed politely, and exited the room.

    The speed of the treadmill speeded up again, and the man turned on the LCD TV. What was reported was the news that had been ordered to prepare before, about whether there were any unreasonable reports in the development of the mountain forest in Shenting County.

    His running body is like a delicate machine running at high speed, with tight muscles and sweat running down the lines of his cheeks.

    He looked up at the flashing screen on the front screen, and with a voice that only he could hear, he muttered softly:

    "Shenting County... a place called the Garden of the Gods."
