Chapter 1 Predation of Humans

Next Chapter

At midnight, under the colorful neon lights, all kinds of creatures let off steaming on Yongtai Road, the city's busiest nightlife district.

Xiao Yao ran desperately, rushed past the shops, flew from the avenue to the fork in the road, and dodged into a dimly lit alley, and the noise of the night market instantly disappeared behind him, as if he had suddenly entered another world.

Xiao Yao looked back and saw that the two men were still chasing after her, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she continued to run forward, and when she ran to a corner, she stopped.

She looked around the deserted streets, staring at the man who was gradually chasing after her, flicking her long hair, revealing her sharp fangs, ready to hunt her prey.

This was where she hunted and preyed on humans, and across the road was a row of holly trees, and not far behind it was a waist-high semicircular bush that would bite the two men and drag them there, and no one would notice them until dawn.

She raised her hands, and her five fingers immediately conjured sharp claws, and the man had reached the corner, looking around and around for her, one, two, threeβ€”she shook her body and was about to change her form and bite the man's neck......

"Miss, please get in the car!" A car stopped not far from Xiao Yao, and the door had opened silently for her.

"Taxi?" Xiao Yao stared at an orange Elantra taxi in front of him in surprise.

"Hmph, where did you rush out, ruined my good deeds," she snorted coldly and scolded in her heart, "The 'food' that is about to arrive is actually ......"

Xiao Yao's hands had turned into sharp claws, and the harsh lights of the taxi shone on her, and she quickly turned the claws back into a pair of pink slender jade hands.

Could it be that the driver mistook her gesture of raising her hand and shaking her long hair for a hailing taxi? Or would he drive straight to her?

"Hmph! Count your fate!" another man behind her caught up, and she gave them a cold look.

This was the first time she had missed, because something had happened to her territory recently, and she hadn't been able to eat a suitable human for more than ten days to be on the safe side, and it had taken a lot of effort to lure these two villains from the bar tonight, and she was just trying to do it......

She has her own principles, she only eats bad guys, and she never lets humans find out when she eats people, for fear of scaring them.

Now that everyone else was present, she had to give up hunting for the time being. She immediately looked at the two men who were supposed to be her "food", swallowed angrily, and glared at the taxi.

Why didn't the taxi solicit customers in the downtown area, but drove into a remote uninhabited alley? Don't think about it for a while, and then leave the place, she shook her long hair, and leaned over to sit down in the car without hurrying.

The two men who followed her still didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and they kept chasing and banging on the car window. One of them even kicked the car door in a huff.

"Miss, where are you going?" the driver's voice sounded calm, as if nothing had happened.

"University of Litan. ”

It is not uncommon for students from prestigious universities to enter and exit nightlife venues, and Xiao Yao herself thinks that a young woman ran out of that place, and two men were chasing after her. Anyone who sees this will think in that direction, right?

"Actually, these two people are ......," she felt as if she needed to explain.

But the driver was not interested in listening at all.

Xiao Yao turned her head sideways and stared at the driver beside her, and there was no separation net in the car that taxis usually have, so she could see the other party clearly.

But it doesn't make much difference whether you can see it clearly or not, this driver is just an ordinary passerby, his appearance can be seen on almost any street, he doesn't have any sense of existence, even if you look at it a few times, you can't guarantee that you will be able to recognize him later.

She always thought there was something wrong with the driver, but she couldn't tell what was wrong with him, and how would you feel if you stared at a person's face and couldn't remember anything......

She sometimes meets drivers who like to chat, listen to music, or listen to the news. Of course, there are drivers who neither listen to music nor speak, but drive in silence, and this driver clearly falls into the last category.

No one in the car spoke.

Xiao Yao looked at the gradually desolate scenery outside the car window, and suddenly had a very ridiculous idea: in the taxi at midnight, the driver who didn't say a word, the unaccompanied female passenger, drove to the suburbs......

The car stopped suddenly, and Xiao Yao stared at the driver in amazement.

"It's here. ”

"Huh?" Xiao Yao looked at the car in disbelief, only to see that ten steps away was the gate of Lidan University.

"Forty dollars. "The driver mechanically quoted the price of the fare.

Xiao Yao took out a few bills, and handed them to him without counting.

As soon as Xiao Yao got out of the car, the taxi drove away.

"It's at least more than 40 kilometers from Yongtai Road here, and it also passes through the downtown area...... It only took more than ten minutes?" she muttered in surprise as she looked at her watch and then at the big clock hanging in front of the school.

"Hey, did you hear that? ”

"What? she's just that...... Anyone else would like to buy it?"

"What are you talking about?"

"That's her...... Yongtai Road ...... Pheasant ......"

"Hehe!

Whispers kept coming into her ears from Xiao Yao's back, whether they were intentional or not, in the face of such pointing, she just pouted disdainfully, and then walked to the public bathroom with toiletries as if nothing happened.

"Yao," although Zhang Li had also heard some rumors about her, she still stepped forward and left side by side with her, "Do you have a class this morning?"

"Yes, Professor Zhang's class. ”

"Me too. Let's go together later. Zhang Li couldn't help but look at Xiao Yao: she is not tall, she looks ordinary, and she has a figure...... It really doesn't match sexy, she dresses ordinarily, I really can't see what she is attractive, Zhang Li and her stay in the same class for a year before remembering her name.

She really couldn't believe that Xiao Yao had the courage to do that with such an ordinary appearance, the key was that there were men willing to ask for her? However, Xiao Yao really came back late for several nights in a row. Where the hell did she go?

"Hey, look, there's another one!" a boy yelled, pointing to the newspaper in his hand, his tone uncontrollable with excitement.

Xiao Yao happened to sit next to him, she took the newspaper as soon as she took it, and what caught her eye was the headline on the front page of the newspaper, marked in bold black letters, "The murderous maniac has committed crimes continuously, and the taxi driver has unfortunately become the sixth victim." ”

Xiao Yao sighed and shook her head, thinking that maybe this newspaper was the same as that boy, and she was excited about it. In this city, only such news can touch people's numbing nerves.

In just ten days, there were six cases of murder and beheadings in Lidan City. In fact, killing people and beheading...... Only one part of the deceased's body was found: a human head. It was a cleaner who found the first head in the garbage heap, then a second and a third soon after, and so far six victims have been found.

A common feature of this series of cases is that all the victims were men, and the time of death was after midnight, and the cause of death was the cutting off of the head with a sharp tool.

Two of the deceased were found in the early hours of the morning before blood clotted. Among the deceased were company employees, college students, street hooligans and other identities, regardless of age, occupation, or appearance, there were no common points, and there were major doubts in this case that were difficult to explain......

"That's six dead people, even if they were all chopped up, at least they could fit into a few big bags, right? But the police searched the whole city in a "dragnet" style, and they didn't even find a single bit of human minced meat. The murderer dares to throw the head everywhere, so that he is afraid that the body will be found and hide, right?"

Students used their pre-class break to discuss the case.

"This is an underworld organization that sells human organs, right?" said one student, frowning at the tip of his pen.

"I understand that the murderer must be a psychopath who commits crimes so continuously, and psychopaths have a habit of collecting corpses, which are displayed at home and placed in front of them every day to watch......" Another student shook his head and laughed.

"Ah......h

"Body...... It should have been eaten......" Xiao Yao muttered to herself as she looked down at the newspaper.

Who is so bold, so ignorant of the rules, and so daring to spread wild on her territory? There is not a single monster in the city who does not know her, who dares to rob her food, who dares to rob her woman? Whether it is a human or a monster, it will definitely die.

"Huh, isn't that one of the two people who chased me last night?" she looked at the picture of the victim in the newspaper, why did she look more and more familiar? This was one of the two people she wanted to eat last night.

I don't know why, Xiao Yao remembered the silent taxi driver who sent her back last night, and it only took ten minutes to walk forty kilometers......

"The driver...... What does it look like? Why can't you remember?" the professor was already lecturing, and the classroom finally fell silent. Xiao Yao desperately recalled the appearance of the taxi driver.

"Let's go to Yongtai Road in the evening. Xiao Yao looked out the window with her cheeks pinched, pondering in her heart.

Strange, so strange, how could she not smell the slightest smell of demons when she sat in the car? The driver sent her back to school and then turned around and ate the man? So, he was not only a demon but also had his eye on her, specifically to grab 'food' from her?

The car must have been driving so fast with a spell, "Shrinking the Ground"? This was the first time she had seen a youkai in the city do this kind of spell.

"Keep an eye on me, okay, I'll send it to the door automatically, I'll see what you can do to me?"

As soon as she thought that she was being targeted by other monsters and openly provoked her, she was furious, hum, those who dared to get along with her were all eaten by her and pulled out to make fertilizer.

"I remember that the number of the car seems to be 59420, ah, yes, it's 59420......" Xiao Yao slipped back and forth on Yongtai Road a few times, staring at the taxis speeding by.

"59420, 'I just love you', hahaha, how can there be such a number! She muttered to herself, leaning on a lamppost next to her, and laughing.

"Hahaha, I'm laughing to death! I love you...... Haha...... "She laughed so much that tears flowed out, she just loved to laugh at every turn, many things that everyone didn't think were funny could make her laugh non-stop when she heard her ears, Xiao Yao ignored the people around her and regarded herself as a psychopath, laughed and laughed, she hadn't laughed so heartily for a long time, "I just love you, hahaha, interesting, I just love you......"

Suddenly, the headlights of a car in front of her shone at her, forcing her to squint slightly, and an orange Elantra taxi slowly pulled up to her and stopped.

"59420!" Xiao Yao hurriedly waved her hand, thinking to herself, in just two days, they could meet twice in such a big city, such a coincidence?

"Please get in the car," still the driver's emotionless voice, "Miss, where are you going?"

"Breeding farms in the northern suburbs. Xiao Yao calmly sat in the car and reported the address, she had never been afraid of anyone in this city, she already had an idea in her heart at this time.

On the street of Yongtai Road, a girl in a long skirt stood where Xiao Yao had just stood and watched the taxi drive away suspiciously. Her pretty face attracted many men, and two young men finally came up to talk to her.

The girl originally wanted to catch up with Xiao Yao and the taxi. But she looked at the frivolous man in front of her who had sent her to the door, sneered, and suddenly changed her mind.

The breeding farm in the northern suburbs is located at the intersection of the city and the village. It is surrounded by fields of corn that are about to be harvested. Cars are driving on small roads with no street lights. Through the window, you can only see the cornfields and the dark night sky, and the corn on either side of the cornfields is almost a man high.

"Stop, it's here. Xiao Yao hurriedly asked the driver to stop.
