Manual of the Monster in City

49 Monster?

Xiaobai carried the baseball bat on his shoulders and stared at someone below with a fiercely fierce look.

    Everything around was restored to that quiet night not long ago, and the rustling of insects resounded in the depths of the forest. It's just that the fire in the center of the camp went out at some unknown time, and it seemed to be blown out by the wind.

    "Cough cough cough..."

    A gray-headed wooden villain jumped out of the small hole where the baseball bat fell just now, coughing constantly.

    It looks like a small piece of wood with hands and feet, and there are simple facial features on his face, it looks quite cute. It was hiding in the extinguished campfire, and it was smashed into the ashes by Xiaobai's stick, and it was still choking.

    "What is this thing?" Jia Qingming couldn't help asking.

    "Speak to yourself! Tell me honestly!" Xiaobai's big stick was horizontally in front of it.

    "The little one is... the tree spirit in this forest," said the little wooden man. "The breath of the trees in the forest makes small condensed bodies come."

    "Are you... a ghost?" Jia Qingming asked.

    "you can say so."

    "I didn't expect this kind of kid to attack my head! Do you dare to bite me in the illusion?!"

    Sure enough, what just now was...

    "Illusory Realm?"

    "Ah. It's the trick of the illusion! I said that the smell is a bit wrong, and there is no bloody smell after I remove so many... And I talked to them, and they didn't understand it at all."

    Xiaobai finished explaining with Jia Qingming, and then he f****d the baseball bat, but it was another stick. The wooden villain was screaming and running around, but it was too small to run desperately and was not as strong as Xiao Bai, so Xiao Bai was condescending, just like playing a computer game of beating a mole. Hit a quasi.

    "Hey, wait! The matter hasn't been cleared yet! Don't kill this guy." Jia Qingming quickly stopped Xiao Bai's venting behavior.

    Although the illusion is a non-existent illusion, the pain and other senses are extremely clear, and we can't blame Xiao Bai for being so angry.

    "Okay, tell me the truth!" Xiaobai interrogated the tree spirit who had been dizzy with a baseball bat.

    "The little...the little one is the tree spirit here, what your friend said... the ghost lives in the tree. The little one just wants to scare you and keep humans away from the forest... I didn't expect to meet..." Answered tremblingly.

    "Did you do that?" Jia Qingming asked him.

    "Which one? I don't know the little one... please tell this gentleman clearly, don't wrong the little one."

    "The tiger hurt people. Is it yours?" Jia Qingming asked. It is indeed very possible for tree spirits to behave. Those people just mistakenly thought that they were attacked by tigers. In fact, they were just illusions comparable to reality.

    After all, it seems that tree spirits are born on trees, and the construction team brought by the Tower of Babel to develop the forest will naturally become the enemy of tree spirits. Such things are also very possible.

    "No, no, absolutely not...Small ones can only use the sound of the wind passing through the branches and leaves to create some hallucinations. Things that hurt people...the little ones...the little ones never dare to do it. what."

    The baseball bat slammed hard in front of the tree spirit.

    "Honestly! Are you telling the truth?" Xiaobai barked a pair of fangs.

    "The words of the little ones are true...the little ones really scared some people and want them to stay away from the forest...but the things that hurt people have absolutely nothing to do with the little ones...but...there is indeed a big tiger here. Only a white-fronted tiger, I don’t know if you have cultivated to become a demon-sized tiger... You will find it, and you will surely be able to ask the cause of the matter. The small-headed tiger does not know Taishan this time, so you have a large number of adults... …Adults have a lot of small horses!" Shu Ling instantly pours beans from the bamboo tube and recruits everything.

    Actually, I was afraid that Xiaobai would be like this.

    "Well, it seems that it really has nothing to do with you." Jia Qingming thought for a while and said.

    The illusion theory is not unreasonable. However, although the scars of those people may be on the way to panic and escape, accidentally caused abrasions and scratches, there are indeed many low bushes and branches in the woods that may cause some wounds. But... some scars cannot be produced like this, such as scratches...

    Especially for the bite. The poacher had a leg bitten off. Only a beast could do such a thing. This is just a little tree spirit and should have nothing to do with him.

    If you insist on saying something, it should have only played a supporting role in fueling the flames.

    However, he has not seen the pictures on the scene and the wounds on the victim. If he could exchange information with Su Qiang...

    However, he felt that he had no information to exchange with Su Qiang. They were all obtainable from the newspaper, very obvious. He felt a deep sense of frustration thinking of this.

    "Then ask you the last question, and you can go." Jia Qingming knelt down and asked in a low voice. "The lady next to me...you are so afraid of her, is she a big dog monster or something?"

    The baseball bat fell aside with a bang, splashing with flying sawdust and grass clippings.

    Both Jia Qingming and Shuling were trembling with fright.

    "What nonsense, get out of here!"

    As if the tree spirit was amnesty, he stepped away from his bizarre legs, ran into the nearest tree hole, and disappeared...

    Xiaobai carried the baseball bat on his shoulders, grinning and showing sharp teeth at the corners of his mouth: "Hey hey, kid, it's better not to ask questions about some things. They say curiosity kills the cat."

    Jia Qingming felt a chill rise behind her.

    He suddenly remembered the horror that Xiao Bai still dominates the battlefield under the siege of wolves. In fact, the most terrifying guy here is Xiao Bai beside him.

    "What's the matter?" Yuan Mu-mutou came back with some of the dry wood he picked up, looked at the two men, and then at the extinguished campfire in the middle of the camp. Although his face was expressionless, he still seemed to say with some regret:

    "The fire is still out..."

    ————

    The two who had been asleep in the tent slept directly until early morning.

    And the two people on the night could not see how tired they were after simply washing their faces. After all, Xiao Bai was not a human being, and Yuan Mu-mutou had a positive physique, and to a certain extent, he was more able to resist fatigue.

    On the contrary, it was Jia Qingming. After the little ghost called the tree spirit was mixed up last night, he couldn't fall asleep over and over, so he waited until the next morning and finally saw the sky light up gradually.

    "Go! I got you some water." Xiaobai said.

    "Fetching water?"

    "Well, I used an empty kettle. That guy knows where to get water." Xiaobai said.

    Yuan Mu-mutou looked like a student spotted by the teacher, honestly raising his hand.

    "No one asked about this kind of thing!" Jia Qingming said to Yuan Mumutou.

    However, looking at Xiao Shanshan again, he is already a little star with his eyes admiring: "Senior Yuan is so amazing."

    "It's just familiar."

    "What do you do so humble at this time!" Jia Qingming continued to complain.

    "Pack up and set off as soon as possible! No accident, Master Lin can be found this morning." Xiaobai said. "If my sense of smell is right!"

    After the canned food was slightly heated on the fire, everyone had a simple meal and continued on the road.

    According to the agreement last night, Xiaobai first asked Jia Qingming to lead everyone to the place where he found another fire last night to check it out. Otherwise, it would be hard for him to relax. It would be better to check it carefully.

    "What? It's all a fuss. I heard Senior Seimei yelling outside last night."

    Yelling? That... That should be when in illusion, right? In this way, although they were asleep at the time, they still seemed to be able to catch the sound.

    So people like them who don't know the situation at all and can still complain about noise are really happy enough!

    At this moment, he suddenly heard a high-pitched tiger roar coming from deep in the forest.

    The source of the sound is...the direction of their destination!

    "Something happened!" Jia Qingming was immediately alert and dashed away in that direction.

    So there are other people there, and they should also be other people investigating this matter... and the injuring tiger also appeared there, then what will happen next...

    He didn't dare to think about it anymore.

    Must catch up!

    He worked hard in his heart like the protagonist of the animation, looking forward to miracles.

    However, at this moment, Xiaobai yanked him violently, and put him... on his back, running fast.

    At first, she controlled her speed and didn't want to expose this supernatural power too much, but after a certain distance, she started to run wildly.

    "Hey ah ah -" Jia Qingming yelled wildly.

    "Sit down! Your speed will be too late!"

    "But this posture is really embarrassing!" Jia Qingming covered her face, feeling that the scene of being carried by Xiaobai on her back would ruin her next life.

    Xiaobai ignored his painful screams and leaped lightly, jumping over a thicket.

    Then, the embers of the camp and the fire came into view one by one.

    It seems that what Jia Qingming saw last night is correct. There is another mysterious person here-perhaps someone related to this matter, or just an ordinary passerby...

    Soon after, he saw the figure of a pretty girl.

    She wore a capable hunting outfit with deerskin boots. She was brave and brave. The ponytail tied high with a string looked like a flag flying in the wind.

    And in front of her, was a fierce tiger...

    It was indeed a white-fronted tiger. The girl holds a long stick in her hand. It is similar to the equipment used by climbers to push through the bushes, but it is just a weapon like a man’s arm as a car. However, her stern temperament does not let it go, standing proudly in front of the tiger... Waiting for her for a moment, it may be bad luck to die here.

    It's Su Qiang!

    Why is she here too?

    So when she texted last night, she was not far away?

    "Get away!" Xiaobai casually tossed Jia Qingming aside, as if throwing away an obstructive package, Jia Qingming was thrown away, shouting in his heart, "This is even more embarrassing!"

    However, Xiao Bai is the protagonist that the camera is following now. The baseball bat in her hand is waving, causing the air to make piercing noises.

    After her offensive and a shout from her throat, the tiger actually flinched a few steps.

    As Xiao Bai approached, the tiger roared and made a hostile voice, trying to warn her, but there seemed to be something that made it finally decide to give up this prey and ran back into the forest.

    Jia Qingming watched this scene almost dumbfounded, and his head was full of Xiaobai. Why is this guy so strong, now finally got up, exhaled, and said to Su Qiang: "Why are you?"

    "Investigate some things, it won't work if you don't come in person." She raised the camera in her hand. "Because of this kind of beast wounding incident, the police station's handling is too stylized, and the photos for the evidence were only taken roughly. I want to check some things that I care about personally as much as possible."

    "But it's dangerous! If not..."

    "Okay, thank you, can you? Be a hero? Boring. Besides, it's not you who saved me. What do you teach me?" Su Qiang snorted and turned her head away with a bad attitude.

    "Eh? Senior Sister Su Qiang?! What... why are you?" Xiao Shanshan ran all the way, a little out of breath.

    "Are you a few again?" Su Qiang rolled her eyes impatiently, completely not wanting to care about this fun club.

    "Of course. Where there is a monster event, there must be our monster event investigation agency!" Xiao Shanshan immediately became full of vitality in the next second.

    "In fact, we are mainly here to help find the missing Master Lin. Master Lin is the forest ranger of this mountain forest." Jia Qingming said truthfully.

    "That's it." Yuan Mu-mutou followed to confirm.

    "But this incident is really weird." Edogawa pushed his glasses.

    "It really seems to be a monster!" Xiaobai chased for a distance and walked back slowly.

    She danced the club twice in the air as if someone who hadn't caught the butterfly would move the catching net with a long pole.

    "I ran away when I was scared. If it was a beast, he would still try to attack me, but the monster would weigh his own weight before making a choice. That's why he was afraid of being wise. It's boring."

    "Really? Mon...ster?" Jia Qingming couldn't help being stunned.
