Manual of the Monster in City

44 The Legendary Little Partner

"Relax. Miss Bai Ling will definitely not cheat you." Xiaobai said grinningly, stretching out a hand to clamp Jia Qingming's neck. "Miss Bai Ling does everything for a reason."

    Jia Qingming, Xiao Bai, and Yuan Baiyang were heading for the northwest mountain.

    "Including the whim to drink pure English afternoon tea?"

    "Uh..." Xiaobai was speechless for a while, but soon she seemed to think of something again, and her eyes lit up: "There are always exceptions in the world, and food should be one of them!"

    "Why do you suddenly say such a philosophical thing?!"

    "Uh... it's what Miss Bai Ling often said. Anyway, don't pay attention to these details. I mean, Miss Bai Ling must be based on her own judgment. Since she would recommend you to take me here, she must have For some reason, such as some kind of...premonition."

    "Premonition?"

    "Yes, Miss Bai Ling is someone who can penetrate into the future, she is a so-called sky stealer. Actually, I don't really understand it, anyway, it's very powerful." Xiaobai scratched his head and smiled.

    Is this guy really reliable?

    Jia Qingming looked at her, pulling black lines from the corner of her forehead, with despair on her face.

    "After all, this kind of tiger wounding incident...It is probably caused by a monster!" Xiaobai suddenly sculpted the shape of a claw with a pair of white and tender hands and said to Jia Qingming in surprise.

    "You...youkai?" Jia Qing has definitely never encountered a monster. Before that, he had only dealt with some ghosts and did some very small tasks, all of which were guided by the "strategy" provided by Bai Ling. Completed under.

    "It is indeed possible." Yuan Boyang took over. "The forests on the mountains of Shenting County have a long history. It is indeed possible that something will appear."

    "There are so many forests with history... The Spanish colonists didn't meet any monsters in America back then? I don't know where the history of the rain forest has grown more than here." Jia Qingming vomited, and the advantage of liberal arts students suddenly revealed. come out.

    "Anyway, I believe Miss Bai Ling is right, kid!"

    "Why do you call me a kid too?!"

    "There is nothing wrong with it, right?" Xiaobai Tan said.

    "Usually only Xiao Hei would call me that. So every time I was called that way, I would think of Xiao Hei's stinky face." Jia Qingming said helplessly.

    "It's true!" Xiaobai suddenly realized, probably because of the phrase "Xiao Hei's stinky face" said Yu Qingming, Xiao Hei immediately felt extremely agree, which also narrowed the distance between the two.

    "I can't be like that nasty black cat! Just call you Qingming! It's more kind."

    "Huh?" The voice raised.

    "In exchange, kid...no, Seimei, you must call my sister!"

    "Huh?" The voice rose several times.

    "What's the matter? It looks very young to shout like this. Especially good!" Xiaobai said happily.

    "Ok."

    "Come on, call one?" He tilted his head smirkly.

    "Sister..." Jia Qingming felt that he was really beeping the dog, but there seems to be something wrong with this metaphor here.

    It felt as if I was going to be molested by Miss Bai Ling's gang in turn!

    "By the way, we can go back to Uncle Jia Shansheng first. Anyway, it was on the way." Jia Qingming changed the subject and said, "After all, he is a former mountain god, surely he knows something, right?"

    "Yeah." Yuan Baiyang felt reasonable.

    "Then ask him if he has any information about the woods on the mountain, for example...Is there any tigers, beasts, piranhas, etc. on the mountain?" Jia Qingming's thoughts suddenly began to jump. When I got up, I seemed to think of something weird.

    However, what they got from Uncle Jia Shansheng (the rockery god) was a textbook-like answer-"No, get out of the way and ask to kill you again!"

    So the group left the ruined temple in despair. Now the temple is no longer a ruined temple, but a plaque is hung up and it is renamed Shansheng Hotel. There is still the decoration of the private room. After the decoration is completed, it will only wait for the opening of the next day.

    Of course, the rockery god still explained the reason specifically to them. After all, he is not a real mountain god, but the "spirit" produced by the residents of the county who gathered here for a long time and was enshrined by everyone, so he was born from the clay statue.

    If he were a true mountain god, he would not continue to weaken to this point because the incense was cut off unless the creatures on the mountain were wiped out, and he would be affected by such a devastating blow.

    Therefore, he didn't know much about the mountains and forests of Shenting County.

    The dejected group of people continued to head to the forest. Among them, Xiaobai was very happy because she got a sturdy baseball bat from Yuan Boyang's room. And Yuan Boyang had no objections and said that it would be fine to give it to her.

    After Xiaobai got the baseball bat, he waved it and beat it several times in the air, making a hunting stick breeze, and then directly carried it on his shoulders with satisfaction. It looked like a stubborn and stubborn bad. student.

    No, no, the bad students in the school are weak. Xiaobai is so handsome and violent when he wields a club. It's the epic badness of living in the movie.

    However, in Jia Qingming's fragile little heart, Xiao Bai finally had a decent weapon.

    ——Such behavior gave him at least a few sense of security.

    ————

    Shenting County is a small county with a wide-open east and a mountain on the west, which limits the county's westward expansion to a certain extent.

    There are lush forests on the mountain, which are in a state of undeveloped for many years and are well preserved. There are also many wild animals living here. If the original mountain temple is standing on the hillside outside Shenting County, guarding the guards here; then the dense forest that extends from halfway up the mountain is a natural sanctuary full of greenery.

    The forest ranger Master Lin’s hut was built on the border of the forest as if guarding the entrance to this ancient realm.

    In fact, there are few people here on weekdays.

    Although unlike other mountains, there are only bare brown rocks near the top of the mountain, which is monotonous and boring, few schools choose this place as a spring or autumn outing. One is that the distance is too close, and the other is because there are no remarkable spectacles here.

    Only in the stories of older generations coaxing children to sleep obediently, there is a mention of the spirits hidden in this forest, but it is a pity that it has already become an unverifiable legend.

    Is it really a monster at work?

    Absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and turn into a monster with mana?

    That kind of thing does sound like an illusory legend, like Liao Zhai, which has only been processed by art to metaphor the story of human affairs.

    But since the dead with a strong desire and unwillingness to disperse will turn into ghosts and wandering souls, such things have already existed and been seen with their own eyes, it is not impossible that such situations exist.

    When the three rushed to the cabin of Master Lin, the forest ranger, a cordon was being pulled around. It was not a simple warning forbidden to approach, but a cordon that appeared at the scene of the murder.

    There are also people in police uniforms who are on duty to prevent people from crossing the boundary. Jia Qingming noticed that two people with large backpacks were stopped there. They were trying to defend themselves and wanted the other party to let them in. It looked like a tourist, but Jia Qingming quickly recognized these two guys...

    It was Xiao Shanshan and Edogawa who both wore casual clothes. Xiao Shanshan wore a straw hat crookedly, so she did not immediately recognize her from the distance just now. She was wearing a white dress, a pair of young girl's beautiful curvy legs appeared from under the skirt, and a pair of sandals were on her feet as if she didn't feel cold at all in this autumn. Edogawa changed his mountaineering outfit seriously and added a mountaineering hat.

    Seeing Jia Qingming and the others coming, Xiao Shanshan immediately waved and asked them to come and help.

    "You are here too? Sure enough, I have a keen sense of smell for monsters and strange incidents! This policeman is not good at all, so he won't let in at all. Really, just accommodating for a little bit~ We are students of Shenting Middle School. The bad guy..." Xiao Shanshan began to beat him side by side again, and Jia Qingming felt particularly empathetic when he saw the inexperienced policeman being begged by Xiao Shanshan and showing his painful look.

    It turns out that these two guys are the little friends mentioned by Miss Bai Ling... They are definitely two guys who are not too big to watch the excitement. They also participated in the haunted incidents in the school before, and the slogan was "Make troubles." The Monster Incident Reconnaissance Agency specializes in investigating various spiritual legends. In summary, it is professional death.

    "Hello, I'm Master Lin's assistant, and I want to go inside to get something." Yuan Mu-mutou pointed to the wooden house separated by the cordon.

    Xiao Shanshan's eyes lit up suddenly, but because she was afraid of revealing something, she just coughed to relieve her excitement, but she kept looking over there to observe the situation.

    "Is Master Lin's assistant? That's okay. But you can only go in."

    "Trouble." Yuan Mu-mutou looked sincere.

    "By the way, Master Lin is all right?" The police uniform brother helped him pull the cordon.

    "Ah, it's okay, don't worry. Master Lin just went out to do errands." Yuan Mu-mutou said it was a white lie.

    Seeing Yuan Mu-mutou's success, Xiao Shanshan immediately launched an offensive, "Then let us go in and take a look?"

    "No." The face that tried not to show pain was full of business affairs.

    "You put that guy in!"

    "He is Master Lin's assistant."

    "I'm Master Lin's daughter!"

    "Master Lin has no daughters."

    "Then... I'm Master Lin's girlfriend, okay? Just let me go in and take a look."

    The little brother's face is irresistible, and Jia Qingming feels that he can understand his painful feeling at the moment. But Yuan Mu-mutou entered the wooden house for a while, and then came out with something. It seems to be some clothing.

    The only one in the group who was able to cross the "border" he walked back.

    "Thank you," he said.

    "It's nothing." The little brother said.

    Then he came back from below the cordon and said to a few people, "Let's go."

    "Ah, how could I just leave like this! I'm almost able to convince him!" Xiao Shanshan frowned and looked unhappy.

    "Okay, don't delay people's execution of official duties." Jia Qingming smiled at the little brother, and then pulled her away.

    Qingming and the little brother in the police uniform had their eyes facing each other, and there was a feeling of pity for the same illness colliding in their gazes.

    Everyone walked along the main road down the mountain and passed a short section of the mountain road. After the cabins and the cordon disappeared from behind, Yuan Mu-mutou led everyone to the side path.

    "Let me just say it!" Xiao Shanshan suddenly became excited.

"In any case, we must go in and find Master Lin!"
