Xia Tianhuo was in the "VIP" box reserved by You Meng for Xiang Kun, Tang Baona, and Chu Xiuwen, entertaining Zhao Feng and Wang De'an, who came from afar.

Zhao and Wang originally made an appointment with Xia Tianhuo in June to come to Tongshi Town to find him for a "second interview".

But then I learned that Ye Zijun, a Chinese tourist who had experienced a large-scale group illusion in Montamira before, began to contact Chinese tourists who had seen the "eight-armed and eight-eyed giant vision" in Montamira that night after returning to China, and asked them to interview them, make a documentary, and have completed interviews with several witnesses.

Zhao Feng and Wang De'an intuitively felt that Ye's interview would help them get some information that they couldn't get from their own interviews, after all, she, like other Chinese tourists, was a first-hand witness, a person who had survived the horrific riots and the eerie night.

So the two found Ye Zijun, as a media reporter, hoping to follow up and interview her in the process of making documentaries and interviewing other people, and could provide her with some assistance, professional advice, and professional equipment.

Ye Zijun was quite excited about this at first, very welcome, after she returned to China, after a period of rest, she finally decided to resign and decided to do self-media - because during this time, she made several videos about Montamira's "eight-armed and eight-eyed giant", which had a lot of clicks on various video platforms and accumulated a lot of fans for her.

With a good face and fluent expression skills and logical thinking skills, coupled with the fact that he used his identity as a witness to the Montamira incident to attract a lot of attention at the beginning, Ye Zijun did a good job as an up master and made videos.

And this self-made documentary named "The Night of Montamila" has just been announced and produced, and it has attracted a lot of attention, and every day just the shooting footage and vlog on the road can get a lot of hits.

But Zhao and Wang followed her to a few cities, and after interviewing a few people who had experienced the Montamira group illusion incident, she felt that something was wrong, she had also been in contact with some media people before, and knew the style of media people, and this time she had to make her own program, and she had done a lot of homework, but Zhao and Wang gave her the feeling that there was no style of media people.

Then she quietly checked the information of the two people, and found that although the media had information about the two reporters, and proved their identities through phone calls and emails, she did not find a single article or report on them in that media.

Ye Zijun has doubts in his heart, and he will pay more attention to the various behaviors of the two, and the more he pays attention, the more strange he feels.

Zhao Feng and Wang Dean are both police officers, and they are naturally very keenly aware of the change in their attitude towards her, so before she has a specific expression, she took the initiative to have other interviews to talk to, say goodbye to her, and arrange for her to be connected with the company's people, expressing her willingness to provide her with sponsorship, as long as you can do a product placement in the appropriate place when the follow-up is released - of course, the advertising fee will also be settled.

After saying goodbye to Ye Zijun, Zhao and Wang originally planned to go to Tongshi Town, but they got another piece of news - after entering the ICU twice, Old Man Du, who they thought was running out of time, was getting better day by day, and now he can even walk around the corridor of the ward with a walker.

So the two of them rushed to the hospital where Old Man Du was and saw Old Man Du in a completely different mental state from the last time they met.

Are they really hard to understand? Why was it last time they left? Old man Du is already dying, and he has entered the ICU, and the critical illness notice has been issued? How long has it been? It looks like it's nothing? Can you even walk with a walker on your own?

But this time, no matter how they talked to Old Man Du, Old Man Du ignored them, just glanced at them, and then showed an "unfathomable" smile.

They went to ask the doctor, who was equally confused? Before the last time they left? The doctor's judgment is basically unsavable, and even if it is saved, it is basically counting the days? They're just doing their best - anyway, someone is going to pay for the medical expenses, and they're doing their best.

I didn't expect it, how many times did it repeat? Even his heartbeat stopped, and after stepping on the ghost gate many times, he suddenly turned around, and the physical condition of Old Man Du began to be forcibly reversed.

According to the doctor, Old Man Du's lesion is actually still there, and his body is still "full of holes" in essence, which is equivalent to a car with serious problems with the engine, gearbox and chassis suspension.

Old Man Du's body is the same, he has fallen into a strange balance, and it seems that it is reasonable to hang up immediately, but on the surface, he looks like he is nothing, he can eat, drink, sleep, and even stand up and walk around.

As for the specific reason, the doctor was also curious, and they even formed an expert group to study - this was not requested by Old Man Du's godson, after the attending doctor consulted his teacher, the latter took the initiative to conduct a remote consultation, and then other experts in the hospital also participated.

However, the specific result will not come out for a while, and Old Man Du doesn't know if there is a problem in his brain or on purpose, basically he doesn't care much about people, whether it is Zhao Feng, Wang De'an, or the doctors and nurses in the hospital, he is very cooperative with treatment or taking medicine, but he just doesn't speak, just smiles incomprehensibly from time to time, I don't know if he is fine, it really has a bit of a fairy wind and bones.

With a huge question mark, Zhao Feng and Wang Dean left the hospital and went to Tongshi Town.

When they arrived in Tongshi Town, it was really better at five o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Tianhuo directly made an appointment to meet at the "Youlong Hotel", and took the two of them to taste the "Internet celebrity dishes" that are currently very representative of Tongshi.

"This hotel seems to be quite famous, I have seen the name of this hotel on various social media for a while, and they have spent a lot of money on marketing...... Wang Dean said with a smile as he looked out the window and looked at the queue downstairs that had already begun to wait for a table. Most of the people in line don't seem to be anxious, and many of them are taking selfies with their cameras or mobile phones, and maybe even doing live broadcasts, which is like an Internet celebrity check-in point.

Zhao Feng was also surprised: "I've been to Tongshi Town before, and I haven't heard of any 'Tongshi Famous Dishes' and 'Inherited Tastes', this so-called 'Tongshi Rabbit Meat' is marketed, right?"

Xia Tianhuo shook his head with a smile and said, "You'll know when you eat it, if I didn't rub the face of my two younger sisters, I wouldn't be able to get this box." ”

Zhao Feng also changed the topic and said: "Mr. Xia, didn't you say that you came to Tongshi Town to relax, we thought that you would leave after ten days and half a month, but we didn't expect to stay until now?"

Xia Tianhuo said: "I am now ready to live here in Tongshi Town for a long time, and I have partnered with a few local friends to open some restaurants, and there is a milk tea shop on this pedestrian street that I opened. ”

Wang Dean said strangely: "Mr. Xia, what about the business of your family's company...... Is it because of the Burmese incident?"

Xia Tianhuo shook his head and said: "Not exactly, the main thing is that it is very comfortable to live here, food, climate, and friends, haha, stay happy." Hey, you guys will stay a few more days this time, and you'll understand after a few days. ”

Wang Dean and Zhao Feng glanced at each other, both of them were a little puzzled.

Xia Tianhuo saw their expressions in his eyes, but he was silent, and naturally took the initiative to mention his kidnapping in Burma, and then talked about their subsequent interviews with the only remaining kidnappers in Burma, as well as the group illusion incident of Montamira.

Zhao and Wang also admitted frankly that they also suspected that there was a connection between the "sea monster" seen by the kidnappers and the "eight-armed and eight-eyed giant vision" that appeared in Montamira—this was also the information they had voluntarily revealed when they contacted Xia Tianhuo before.

They also told some information about their local interviews in Montamira, and then used this excuse to further ask Xia Tianhuo, focusing on the changes in his mood in the cabin at that time.

Their question seemed natural, but Xia Tianhuo instantly realized that these two people must know something deeper, at least they knew very well what the core and most critical impact of the eight-armed and eight-eyed illusion was, and these two people definitely didn't simply want to make news.

When Xia Tianhuo used to do business, he was very accustomed to judging from the questions and questions raised by customers, knowing whether the customer was an expert, how deep he understood the industry, and how much sincerity he had.

This method can also be applied to the present, and it can also have a rough judgment of the intentions of Zhao and Wang, as well as the information they have.

In fact, when he was interviewed in Myanmar before, Xia Tianhuo suspected that these two people were not serious reporters and media people, but more like doing things for the government.

The reason why he agreed to the other party to come to Copperstone Town to interview him again this time was actually to find out the news from the other party in reverse.

Looking at it now, his previous judgment was not wrong, and these two people did have some expectations.

He took his breath and began to carefully recall and describe the process of his abduction, the process in the cabin, and the changes in his emotions.

Of course, at this time, he didn't pour out all the information in front of Lao Xia, Yang Laosan, and Xiang Kun, but deliberately picked up part of it, deliberately described it in the direction of fear and fear, and then observed the expressions of the two.

When Zhao Feng and Wang Dean interrogated the prisoners, they also had a lot of experience in fighting wits and courage with the prisoners and debunking lies, so they were also keenly aware that Xia Tianhuo's description seemed to have some problems, and his attitude was also very strange.

Fortunately, at this time, the dishes came, so that Zhao and Wang could reassess the current situation by eating.

"Huh, what does it smell like...... It's really possible!" Zhao Feng exclaimed with wide eyes after tasting a piece of braised rabbit meat, but this is not an acting school, but a real reaction.

After Wang De'an tasted it, he was also a little surprised, now he can understand why this shop is so popular, this taste is okay.

"I'm right, right? Eat it a few times, and make sure you love it more and more, and come on, try this broth, it's delicious." By the way, how spicy is it, if it's not spicy enough, I can ask them to adjust it, the spicy taste here is mainly to adapt to our local taste in Tongshi. Xia Tianhuo said with a sense of ownership.

Zhao Feng smiled: "Mr. Xia, you really think of yourself as a bronze stone." ”

"Haha, if you live for a while, you will also want to think of yourself as a bronze man. Xia Tianhuo said with a smile.

So the two sides readjusted their strategies and continued the previous topic with the help of food.

"By the way, I saw several high-profile news on social media in Myanmar today, which are also related to the 'eight-armed and eight-eyed giant vision', oh, now some Burmese people call it 'eight-eyed and eight-armed gods', saying that it is a god who rules fear and life and death, and came to the world to punish evil. It is said that the night before yesterday, the 'eight-eyed and eight-armed gods' appeared on the southern coast of Myanmar, and directly "punished" a gang of smugglers, smugglers, and traffickers, as well as a bunch of Burmese official bigwigs who shielded them over there, were all served in one pot. Zhao Feng said, and took his mobile phone to call up the news for Xia Tianhuo to see.

"Really, it can't be that someone is using this name to make a fire, right?" Xia Tianhuo said casually.

"It is said that the 'Eight-Eyed and Eight-Armed Gods' first sent his advance general, the 'Sea God', to investigate, and after collecting many grievances and identifying many evils, the Gods himself came down and aroused the fear in the hearts of those sinners, causing them to kill each other and atone for their sins. Of the official bosses who harbored the criminal gangs, two of them were dragged to the street by the young people of those gangs to be 'sentenced and hanged', and one of the highest-ranking people was frightened and took the initiative to go to the province and state to turn himself in. That Sea King is also legendary, saying that he first incarnated as a human to test those criminals and give them a chance to reflect, but instead of introspection, they killed him, so he was reborn in the sea and came back for revenge. Zhao Feng smiled and introduced one of the widely spread theories he saw, while observing Xia Tianhuo's expression, and asked, "Mr. Xia thinks that this statement of the gods and sea kings is the same as that of sea monsters, is it nonsense?"

Xia Tianhuo narrowed his eyes, thought about it, and said with a serious expression: "It's hard to say." ”

"So, does Mr. Xia believe that statement?"

"Feudal superstition must not be ......"

"Haha, Mr. Xia really likes to joke, so does Mr. Xia think that when he was on the boat, the kidnappers messed up and killed each other, or did the kidnapper say, there are sea monsters?"

Xia Tianhuo said: "Even if there are sea monsters, they are also killing each other, the traces on the ship, all the evidence doesn't say it all? Except for those people on the ship, no one else participated." ”

"What if it's not 'people'? if it's a way to participate...... Isn't it physical?" asked Wang De'an.
