Manual of the Monster in City

50 Completely Solved?

"It's a monster, a tiger monster, I don't have a very high opinion." Xiaobai continued. "But it runs very fast."

    "But if it's a monster, why should he be merciful?" Xiao Shanshan asked puzzledly.

    Xiao Shanshan's question is indeed very reasonable. If it had directly launched a pounce on Su Qiang before, it was too late when they arrived, but it did not choose to get up and pounce like hunting food. Choosing to approach a little bit, seemed to just want to deter her from leaving.

    "Who knows. Maybe it's been in human society, so I was brainwashed, so my conscience discovered that I was determined to be a vegetarian?" Xiaobai began to think without boundaries.

    "Is there Master Lin's whereabouts?" Jia Qingming asked.

    I'm afraid that if he didn't ask, Xiao Bai would have forgotten it a long time ago, only the regret that he encountered a big tiger monster just now and wanted to fight it but failed.

    Xiaobai raised his head and sniffed: "It should not be far away, right?"

    "She's...what's her background? This guy." Su Qiang frowned and asked Jia Qingming. This Sherlock Holmes fan and the girl who dreams of becoming a famous female police officer obviously noticed Xiaobai's non-human behavior.

    "This is probably... a superpower." Jia Qingming learned from classmate Jiang, and only got Su Qiang's "completely distrustful" eyes.

    "Shhh someone is coming." Xiaobai lowered his voice.

    Everyone did seem to hear a sound. The sound came from the nearby woods. It seemed that someone was moving nearby, which caused the shrubs to shake. Yuan Boyang was very keen on this perception and immediately judged the direction. Looked over.

    "Huh? Master Lin?" Yuan Mu-mutou's voice.

    Hearing his voice, everyone turned their heads and saw Master Lin appeared behind a few trees, and he walked out of the forest as if walking towards them through the forest. It felt like he hadn't found any place to step through the iron shoes, but now I saw him suddenly and miraculously, and fortunately, he looked unscathed.

    It is the first time Jia Qingming has seen Master Lin.

    Master Lin has the dark skin created by outdoor activities all year round, and his skin is also very rough. When he saw Yuan Mu-mutou, he finally smiled with some relief and surprise:

    "Why are you here? These... are your friends?" He looked at the people behind Yuan Muti.

    "Yeah." Yuan Boyang nodded. "I thought you were missing."

    "Haha, I'm sorry to make you worry. I heard the voice of a tiger just now, and I was afraid that someone would have an accident, so I rushed over immediately." He said, his right hand kept holding his left hand.

    "It's all right. Master Lin, why did you come out for so long? We all thought you were missing, so we came to the forest to look for it." Jia Qingming said.

    "I came to the forest... Actually, it was mainly to make an atonement with the god in the forest. I came to pray for his forgiveness and hunted a deer as a sacrifice to the tiger in the mountain..."

    "Pray...forgiveness from the forest?"

    "Yeah. I found that the injured were all construction workers at nearby construction sites. I think their noise must have disturbed the gods and monsters in the forest, so they specially prepared sacrifices to comfort them... However, it was still unsuccessful. , He is still unwilling to forgive outsiders."

    "Of course, this kind of thing, and mountain gods, forest gods shouldn't exist, it's just some little spirits at best," Xiaobai said.

    Jia Qingming couldn't help but pull her, "At least respect the beliefs of others!"

    "No..." Master Lin said firmly, "Forest...These animals in the forest are spiritual. They are angered, and they must find a way to relieve their pain. Otherwise...this kind of thing is only It will get worse."

    "Yeah." Yuan Mutou said, "I can understand. Master Lin, what do you plan to do next?"

    "I want to... go to the leader of the construction site. My family has guarded this forest for generations. In the past, when my grandfather and even grandfather, if the government started construction to spread to the woodland, the personnel responsible for this matter must Enter the forest in advance and offer some sacrifices, such as meat, fruits, and pastries, to ease the crime of disturbing."

    "Understood. I will go with you." Yuan Mutou said.

    "By the way... your finger..." Edogawa asked suddenly.

    After listening to his words, Master Lin broadly exposed the little finger of his left hand that had been pinched in his hand and wrapped in a crude bandage. He had been holding it with his right hand before, but Edogawa noticed the white cloth between his fingers.

    Master Lin smiled and said, "It's nothing, it doesn't hurt anymore. Didn't I just say it, although I went there to pray, but... it didn't appreciate it. The big tiger still bit one of my fingers. ...Like a punishment. It seems that I am a person who defends bad people. That's why I thought...Only the person responsible for this matter can sincerely apologize for it so that the anger of the gods in the forest can be calmed down. ."

    "It's better to go to the hospital to deal with it when you go back." Yuan Mutou said.

    "Why don't you have any blood?" Master Lin said.

    "Yes, yeah. Uncle Lin, you are so great!" Xiao Shanshan laughed, her voice really like a silver bell. "The deforestation guy should be punished! I will go find them with you!"

    Jia Qingming finally confirmed that this guy's voice when talking to the elders and the teacher was so cute, no wonder he could still serve as the president of the student council so unreliable.

    "You can't say that either." Master Lin smiled honestly, "After all, they are people who have obtained development permits. More importantly, the workers who work... are innocent."

    "Such things are really troublesome. We may not be able to persuade the leaders of the construction side if we go there." Edogawa said, "maybe just treat us as children."

    "But! At least you have to work hard!"

    "Hmm!" Xiaobai said, "I haven't had this kind of feeling for a long time! Why do things feel like working hard!"

    Jia Qingming couldn't help being infected by this emotion. Only Su Qiang watched all this with cold eyes and said: "Then let's go down the mountain."

    Then she walked in front by herself, heading down the mountain first.

    "Hey—" Jia Qingming looked at her back, wondering what happened to Miss Su.

    Could it be the kind of awkward mood, which is commonly known as... Tsundere?

    In short, now that people are found, everyone is happy, and if the rest of the matter is handled properly, the tiger attack should be subdued, right?

    In fact, creatures in nature. As long as you have a trace of reverence for them, and sincerely repent when their interests are violated, you can get their forgiveness, right?

    Jia Qingming thought so.

    Sometimes it is easier than getting forgiveness from another person.

    ————

    Shenting County International Hotel.

    Just by seeing its name, you can imagine its magnificent appearance, but walking into this huge hotel in person still feels particularly shocking. After all, most of the time, students like them can only look at the mighty security guards at the door, in awe.

    The crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling of the front hall dazzled everyone's eyes. Upstairs is equipped with a high-end restaurant, large meeting rooms, private meeting rooms, and VIP suites for VIPs.

    After all, Shenting County is a small place. You can only spend your time in various aspects, racking your brains to find business opportunities.

    Xiao Shanshan excitedly sat on the oversized sofa in the waiting area at the front desk.

    Edogawa was pushing black-rimmed glasses, carefully watching and marveling at the porcelain vases placed on the Bogu shelf, exclaiming that these are good things that have a certain age.

    Master Lin showed his forest ranger's certificate at the front desk, ready to connect to the internal phone of the hotel upstairs, so the group of students from Shenting High School waited here first.

    This is one of the major projects that Shenting County has strongly advocated in the past two years. Although it may not be able to reach the five-star advertised, there are still four-stars, which are used to receive investment from foreign businessmen and VIPs.

    Therefore, in a small place like Shenting County, almost no one lives. The people who work here are more iron rice bowls than iron rice bowls. It is still a leisurely fat man.

    Until recently, such a group of "big men" have been admitted here.

    It comes from a construction company under the Tower of Babel Group. The Tower of Babel is a well-known commercial group in China. It came here to build a rich residential area built on the hillside.

    Soon the supervisor came down and kindly asked Master Lin to go to the private living room upstairs to discuss the matter in detail. Although Yuan Mu-mutu wanted to follow along, everyone in the Monster Incident Investigation Agency also wanted to join in the fun, but The company management said that he would only let Master Lin go there for private meetings.

    However, the supervisor enthusiastically informed the front desk to make tea for them and sent them the company's brochures, which are all about the development of residential areas over there.

    Jia Qingming looked through the color-printed brochure boredly. In general, the main idea is to promote the upcoming villas and high-end residential buildings, which are located on the west side of the mountain range outside Shenting County.

    It can be seen from the large map of residential location printed on the brochure that this residential area is mainly for the wealthy in the big city west of Shenting County. The reason for Shenting County’s backwardness is probably because of this mountain, which is located in the west of Shenting County. Side, blocking its connection with the big city.

    It is necessary to reach large cities through railways and highways that bypass the mountains. The distance is stretched invisibly, and it is difficult to be irradiated by large cities economically.

    The real estate development this time is closely linked to the plan of "building a satellite city" in Shenting County.

    The wealthy residential area invested by the Babel Group will draw the population of big cities to the vicinity of Shenting County, drive the economy of Shenting County, and gradually make Shenting County a satellite city of the big city and obtain economic development.

    In general, it is like this.

    It may not be intuitive to hear it in the newspaper or on the radio, but it is particularly clear when you see it on the map in the brochure.

    "It's great!" Xiao Shanshan looked at the various apartment types shown in the manual, almost looking forward to seeing through.

    However, most people in Shenting County simply cannot afford houses in this kind of place...

    "Jia Qingming." A girl's voice rang coldly.

    It’s Su Qiang. She has been leaning on a magnificent Roman column with her back. She has no sense of curiosity when she enters such a place for the first time. However, it is indeed the first time she has visited such a luxurious place. Indifferent temperament.

    So she behaves like a queen in her palace, without any sense of disobedience. On the contrary, people who look at her coldly will feel at a loss as if they were a guest called by the queen. It seems that this is entirely her domain.

    "What's wrong, Miss Su?"

    "There is a problem, this matter." She said the sentence is short and powerful, making people feel that what she said is beyond doubt, "You, come with me."

    "What's wrong? Is this matter? It will be solved soon."

    "I mean... Master Lin, there is a problem."

    A word, like thunder, burst into Jia Qingming's mind.

    "How? Are you going?" Xiaobai suddenly appeared behind him, leaning against the pillar in the porch.

    Jia Qingming didn't answer, he looked at Su Qiang's back. She was still wearing the same hunting suit she had used for climbing, and stepped on deerskin boots to go out, leaving him with a domineering back, as if to say "Believe it or not."

    Jia Qingming nodded, but he was not shocked by her aura.

    But her words...

    Master Lin...is suspicious? !
