Manual of the Monster in City

45 Prey

He hid in the grass, silently.

    But the muscles were tight, like a bowstring in his hand that was tightening little by little, and the prey he was aiming at was not aware of it.

    Outside the grass, a white-fronted tiger was lying in the shade of the trees enjoying the afternoon. The sound of observing in the surrounding grass gradually disappeared. It finally released its last vigilance, opened its blood basin, and opened its mouth wide. Yawned lazily.

    The arrow is on the string, and it comes out.

    The arrow crossed the clearing in the forest and shot into the grass on the opposite side. That's right, his target was always there, and that was the prey he had been looking for.

    The poacher hiding in the grass suddenly saw in the crude sight, an arrow was flying straight towards him, he moved his eyes away from the cat's eye that was aimed at, and raised his head to take a closer look at the situation.

    I only heard the sound of broken glass exploding, and when I looked down at the source of the sound, I saw a round-headed arrow shaft with the arrow turned off unbiasedly inserted in the crude optical sight, and the sight was placed. pierce……

    If he hadn't stopped aiming in time just now, his eyes were still pieced together now, and there would be countless shots of glass pouring into his fragile eyes.

    This is a warning.

    Seeing this, the poachers had to crawl down the mountain.

    ————

    "Wow! This is what Yuan Xuechang usually does as a helper?" Xiao Shanshan was aside, with stars shining all over her eyes, and she was full of envy.

    "Yeah." Yuan Baiyang said.

    They had just climbed up from a low cliff on one side. On the low branch of a nearby tree, Yuan Mu-mutu took off the bow and a bag of arrows he had left here.

    Compared with the longbow in the film and television series, this bow is quite different in shape. The materials are also pieced together with many common modern materials. Because it is homemade, the shape looks somewhat strange. The quiver is also very rough, with patches.

    However, in the eyes of modern people living in the county, such as Xiao Shanshan, a little girl like Xiao Shanshan, when Yuan Boyang changed into this outfit, she seemed to have become a great hero who wears Yang in a hundred steps in ancient times, or the handsome elf in the Lord of the Rings. Archer.

    "That's right," Yuan Baiyang seemed to remember something suddenly, and threw a shirt that he had just entered the restricted area blocked by the police, and threw it to Xiao Bai. As soon as Xiao Bai raised his hand, he picked up the things vigorously. In hand. "This way, should I find it?"

    "Wrap it on me." Xiaobai showed a triumphant expression, lowered his head, and sniffed the smell on the dress, it seemed that some information had entered his brain along with the smell.

    Her eyes shined.

    ——Yes, Xiao Bai is a big white dog, so it's easier to search by smell. That's why Yuan Mumu had to enter the wooden house especially, just to take out a piece of clothing belonging to Master Lin and hand it to Xiaobai.

    Xiao Bai's sense of smell is very sensitive, and he can follow the traces of this breath all the way to help them find the missing Master Lin.

    "By the way...who is this?" Edogawa realized this serious problem. He pushed his black-rimmed glasses and looked at Xiao Bai, who at the moment was still carrying a very dangerous baseball bat.

    "Ah... she is..." Jia Qingming was speechless for a while and couldn't help thinking about how to introduce this guy.

    A pet in an unscientific wish fulfillment shop? He and Yuan Baiyang rented a contract worker? Or is it a big white dog that looks like a Samoyed but looks like two?

    No matter which rhetoric sounds abnormal, right? !

    "It's Qingming's sister!" Xiaobai showed a bright and sunny smile.

    "It turns out that it is." Everyone nodded with emotion.

    "Is it so easy to accept this setting?!" After Jia Qingming reluctantly complained, he had to add, "Just call her Xiaobai..."

    "But she is as energetic as Sister Xiaobai, and looks like a boyfriend..." Xiao Shanshan turned on her Tucao mode, "It looks more like Senior Yuan's sister, right?"

    Jia Qingming felt desperate in her heart.

    "Okay, now I'll lead the way." Xiaobai stepped forward and threw the shirt to Yuan Mu-mutou by the way. "Trust my instincts, yes."

    She raised her hand and patted her chest vigorously as if she was packing up with everyone.

    Now Jia Qingming only feels very lucky, because Xiaobai should be regarded as a dog demon or something similar, in short, a much higher level than a dog, so you don’t need to lie on the ground and smell it to find the smell...

    That style of painting is really weird.

    She only stopped occasionally, sniffed in the air casually, then looked around, gazing around, and quickly found a certain direction, leading everyone to move forward.

    "Sister Xiaobai seems to have been sniffing something." Her mind is as simple as Xiao Shanshan, and she quickly realized this.

    These words made Jia Qingming feel very excited, he has not yet figured out how to explain Xiaobai's things to everyone, after all, such things are too unacceptable.

    More importantly, he himself didn't know what Xiao Bai was, and he couldn't explain the "scientific truth" in it. But it shouldn't be something like a dog monster...

    Because Miss Bai Ling told him that he had never seen a monster. If every word Bai Ling said is not casual, but with a certain meaning, it means that Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai are not monsters transformed into their black cat and white dog forms.

    "Yes, I found this from the beginning." Edogawa pushed his signature black-rimmed glasses. "She is definitely not an ordinary person. She is probably..."

    Jia Qingming feels a chill is rising, as if a secret is about to be exposed, the feeling of anxiety and helplessness can only wait for the result...

    "She is likely to be a superpower!" Edogawa is categorical.

    "Superpowers?!" Xiao Shanshan's eyes were full of surprise, but soon the surprised mood changed and turned into the kind of... starry eyes full of worship.

    "That's right, it's the characters who have certain special abilities that can save the world in movies and American dramas!" Edogawa said.

    Is this totally unscientific? ! Are you really a fan of Edogawa Conan? Why do you think of such a supernatural realm no matter what the problem is?

    "Sister Xiaobai!" Xiao Shanshan yelled sweetly.

    "Hey." Xiaobai obviously used this name very well, with a pretty expression on his face.

    "Sister Xiaobai, would you like to join our club? Shenting High School Monster Incident Investigation Agency!" She suddenly started feeding Xiaobai to Amway.

    "Hey? What is it for?" Xiaobai looked dazed.

    "It's just investigating Shenting High School...No, it's the entire Shenting County incident now...Those incidents that have become mysteries because of the haunting of monsters... will all disappear under our investigation!"

    "Yes! There is only one truth!" Edogawa bluntly inserted classic lines aside.

    "Hey?! That kind of thing...it's funny!" Xiaobai's eyes lit up.

    "Yes, yeah, in the future we will go out of Shenting County to investigate strange incidents in more places! Sister Xiaobai will definitely join us?!" Seeing Xiao Shanshan's face in the Amway mode, Jia Qingming I think she will definitely become Bai Ling's kind of profiteer in the future.

    "Okay. But... My sister's tutoring is very strict." Xiaobai lowered his head, disappointed all over his face. "That fellow Qingming won't take me out."

    "Why is it my fault..." Jia Qingming suddenly frowned, realizing that things were not so simple, as if saying that he had completely become a sinner!

    "It’s okay! It’s like a club activity. It’s okay if you don’t have time to participate every time. And there will be a lot of activities. There will always be times when we can act together. Right, right, like this time! Sister Bai can be a nominated member of our club!"

    "Yeah." Edogawa Ohwa wrote, "Like this operation, many members of the community did not come. But it does not mean that our community will not participate in the investigation of such things."

    "That's fine. It would be nice if my sister can come out often." Xiaobai said, blinking pitifully, looking at Jia Qingming with big eyes.

    "What does it have to do with me! You can come out by yourself..."

    "Miss Bai Ling usually doesn't let me go out alone." Xiaobai pouted Lao Gao. "Ah, I don't want to!" She raised her head again, sniffed in the air, and continued to look for the trace of Master Lin.

    "This time our Monster Incident Investigation Agency has added an incredible number of members!" Xiao Shanshan couldn't help but smile after his success.

    Monster incident...

    Jia Qingming suddenly discovered that since he entered Shenting County and transferred to the high school of Shenting Middle School, he has been constantly involved in such things, right?

    The ghost of the house ghost in the ruined temple, the horrible legend that the campus is true and false, the ghost of Senior Wu Yao...A series of things are related to ghosts.

    Although this is often done in movies and television, when the protagonist arrives somewhere, big troubles related to the protagonist's profession will appear one after another.

    For example, Conan is where to die, and the British drama Merlin Legend is also the same way. When Merlin arrived in Camelot, magical trouble that could not be solved by humans followed one after another... even some netizens complained. It was said that it was a miracle that Arthur and his father could live in that dangerous world before Merlin came.

    But in life... definitely not like that.

    Jia Qingming has a faint feeling as if something big is about to happen.

    These problems are like tiny bubbles, constantly floating up in groups. When more and more bubbles frequently emerge from one place, it must mean that a big fish is moving quietly underwater.

    The sky soon dimmed, and when thinking about things, the exhaustion of the body seemed to be far away from me, and the time flowed quickly.

    However, when they first set off from Ms. Bai Ling's shop, it was still time for afternoon tea. It was not long before dark, and the light in autumn was gradually shortened.

    "It's going to get dark soon." Xiaobai said. "We either have to withdraw halfway or find a place to camp. However, I don't recommend leaving now. The remaining breath here is relatively fresh, probably only half a day has passed, I think it is not too far away. If Lin If the master wants to take a rest, it will not be too late for us to look for it tomorrow."

    "Agree." Xiao Shanshan immediately agreed.

    "Moreover," Edogawa pushed his black-rimmed glasses and quickly took off his schoolbag from behind, "We are here prepared."

    I saw him take out a folded tent from the inside, it was like Tinkerbell's pocket, and everything could be taken out of it. Just as Jia Qingming was surprised, Xiao Shanshan also took out one.

    One blue and one pink, it looks as eye-catching as the signs of men's and women's toilets!

    "You...have already made plans!"

    "Of course." Xiao Shanshan said triumphantly, "Edogawa-san is a good plan! Of course, this is inseparable from my wise leadership, huh huh."

    "Okay, I'll find some firewood for burning. Qingming, you go with me. By the way, you should also bring flint or something?" Xiaobai said.

    "We brought matches. It should be more convenient."

    "That's great." Xiaobai leaned the baseball bat on the tree beside him and then forced Jia Qingming away with his neck.

    The two of them triggered by the campsite and took dozens of steps. Xiao Shanshan's excited voice for the first camping gradually disappeared behind her.

    In fact, Xiao Shanshan should have wanted to camp outside a long time ago. Jia Qingming saw it last time. She took everyone to explore the school late at night and prepared a small tent in advance in the activity room. Obviously, she had planned for a long time.

    At this moment, Xiaobai finally said to Qingming:

"It smells like monsters. Miss Bai Ling did not guess wrong."
