Chapter Twenty-Nine: When a Woman Slept
The leaves of the old locust tree rustle in the wind, and the bride is sleeping quietly in a cave made of cobwebs.
At this time.
It was already three o'clock in the morning.
Whether it's Qinghe Town or Luoying City, the streets are already empty.
Sakura Castle North District.
In the room on the second floor of the shroud shop, the dream-eating tapir is lying on the side of the woman's bed, sucking the energy in the woman's dream.
The Dream Tapir has been here every night for a week.
The woman also had a good night's sleep because of her dream tapir.
When dream-eating tapirs suck the energy of human dreams, they often build a gentle dream for humans.
Because in this way, those who are sucked by the dream tapir will not wake up halfway.
And.
The energy in dreams is just a useless thing for human beings.
Or.
In human cognition, there is simply this kind of energy.
After all.
It's an energy that only a monster like a dream-eating tapir can use.
Humans and other yokai cannot be perceived.
The Dream Tapir's nose rested on the arm of the female Rao, and she sucked the energy with a satisfied face: "Hmm...... It smells so good......"
The night is always very happy for the dream-eating tapir.
After all.
At night, dream-eating tapirs can easily find sleeping humans.
"Rustling ......"
The dream-eating tapir suddenly heard a sound, which seemed to be in the room.
The dream-eating tapir looked around and saw nothing.
Subsequently.
The Dream Tapir listened carefully, and the voice didn't come out again, "I heard it wrong." β
The dream-eating tapir continued to suck the energy of the woman's dreams.
"Rustling ......"
The voice sounded again, and the Dream Eater Tapir quickly looked towards the place where the sound had come from.
The corners of the curtain moved!
The dream-eating tapir looked at the things in the room carefully, and always felt that something was wrong.
"The armor is gone!"
The Dream Eater Tapir jumped to his feet and lifted the thick curtains, only to see that the worn armor was flying in the night sky, and Zheng looked like a headless corpse.
β¦β¦
Early morning.
Before dawn, Chen Beibei and Guan Hu had already gotten up and came to Luoying City.
I barely slept last night.
But.
Chen Beibei's heart has always been a faint uneasiness. After all, eight people have died.
Although there were seven people in front of him, Chen Beibei didn't know.
But.
Chen Beibei had seen the eighth woman, and Chen Beibei didn't want to see the next corpse of the same kind.
An ambulance sped past Chen Beibei and Guan Hu, and the piercing sound of the horn pierced the silence of the early morning.
"No...... Something happened, right? β
Chen Beibei's heart couldn't help sinking, and his face became solemn......
Chen Beibei and Guan Hu stared blankly at the direction where the ambulance disappeared.
"Let's go check it out!"
"Well, it's terrible, isn't it really ...... in the group?"
Two women, who looked to be a little older, said as they walked in the direction of the ambulance.
Chen Beibei took out his mobile phone.
The group of Falling Sakura City was also added by Chen Beibei before, but Chen Beibei usually didn't go to chat.
Now it seems that there are already people in the group discussing something.
γFalling Sakura Castle Chat Groupγ
As soon as Chen Beibei opened the Luoying City chat group, he saw a lot of news.
99
Chen Beibei quickly flipped through those chat records.
"I heard that there was a woman in her twenties who died on the road......"
"Was he hit by a car?"
"I just passed by there, and the woman was not hit and killed. Now the nurses are checking and the woman looks like she's asleep and doesn't know what's going on! β
When Chen Beibei saw these news, he was already able to determine that the cause of death of the woman this time was the same as that of the woman before.
After all.
They were all uninjured, they died peacefully, and they were all young women.
"Master, let's go too."
Guan Fox Road.
At this time, Chen Beibei and Guan Hu's mood was still very heavy. After all, Chen Beibei was already able to determine that these deaths were related to monsters.
"Hmm."
Chen Beibei walked while flipping through his mobile phone to chat about records.
"Is anyone else there? Take a picture and come and see, curious ......"
One person sent a message.
"Ding!"
Soon someone sent a photo of the scene, a woman in a suit, lying on her back on the ground. Several nurses are checking on Nurao's condition. The surroundings were surrounded by a circle of people who were watching the excitement.
"You know what? This is already the ninth......"
"What ninth?"
"Don't you think that in the past few months, young women have often died in Sakura City? She's the ninth! β
Chen Beibei put his phone in his pocket.
Once something happens, everyone will always watch with the attitude of watching the excitement.
This is understandable, and Chen Beibei can't blame anything.
β¦β¦
Chen Beibei and Guan Hu soon arrived at the place where the woman died.
Nurao's body was already covered with a white cloth.
It seems that there is no way to rescue it.
"Master, let's go."
Guan Fox Road.
Nurao's body will soon be transported away, and there is no point in continuing to wait here.
"Hmm."
Chen Beibei knew that the most important task now was to find the one who killed these Rao monsters.
Because only in this way can we really solve the problem.
Chen Beibei and Guan Hu took a taxi and came directly to the northern area of Luoying City.
As soon as he got out of the car, the Dream Eater Tapir walked over to Chen Beibei.
"Master, there's a monster in that shroud shop!"
Dream Eater Tapir hurriedly said.
The Dream Eater Tapir slept in vain, it was already bright at this time, and the Dream Eater Tapir had not gone back to sleep, Chen Beibei already knew that the Dream Eater Tapir had found a clue.
"Let's go together!"
North Chenbei Road.
"Hmm."
The Dream Tapir replied.
"Dream Eater Tapir, is the monster you just now the owner of that shroud shop?"
Chen Beibei asked as he walked.
"No, it's the armor, last night, I saw that armor fly out!"
Dream Eater Tapir Road.
The monster is actually armor, which Chen Beibei did not expect. After all, the Dream Eater Tapir had also been spying on the owner of the shroud shop before.
The owner of the shroud shop would sew up that armor every night, and that armor only looked a little old, and there was nothing else out of the ordinary.
Again.
Under normal circumstances, who would doubt that a piece of armor can turn into a youkai.
"Is it armor that becomes a youkai? What about the woman? β
Chen Beibei looked at the Dream Eater Tapir and asked suspiciously.
"The woman is sleeping. The armor should have deliberately waited for the woman to fall asleep before leaving. Maybe that woman didn't know that the armor she sewed every night had become a monster. β
The Dream Eater Tapir looked at Chen Beibei and replied to him.
The empty and gray road to the shroud shop, full of hibiscus trees, looked even more gloomy than ever.
There was an oppressive smell in the air.
Last night, the armor flew out, and this morning someone found a young woman dead on the horse from Sakura Castle.
Found early in the morning!
Then the time of death is probably the time when no one walks on the streets late at night.
Chen Beibei When they came to the shroud shop, the shroud shop was not open.
It's still early, seven o'clock in the morning.
The three-tailed fox has not yet come to work, and it is normal that the shroud shop is not open.
After all.
The owner of the shroud shop doesn't like to deal with other people, so under normal circumstances, he waits for the three-tailed fox to come to work before opening the door.
"Boss, are you at home?"
Chen Beibei stepped forward and knocked on the door.
At this time, because it has been determined that there are monsters in the shroud shop, there is no need to worry about disturbing others.
After all.
If it hasn't been resolved, the owner of the shroud shop ...... It can also be dangerous.
You know, the owner of the shroud shop is also a young woman.
And it's a pretty one.
After waiting for a long time, there was still no response in the room, probably because the boss didn't want strangers to come in.
"Master, do you want me to go in and have a look?"
The Dream Eater Tapir looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.
"Hmm."
Chen Beibei nodded, the dream tapir got in through the door, and the owner of the shroud shop was sitting in front of the window sewing the shroud carefully, as if he hadn't heard a knock on the door.
Wearing a red saro skirt, with a few hairpins obliquely inserted on his head, his face was ruddy and unusually printed by clothes, and his white fingers twisted needles and threads kept shuttling back and forth in the shroud.
"Master, she's inside."
The Dream Eater Tapir withdrew from the shroud shop and said to Chen Beibei.
Chen Beibei knocked on the door again, but there was still no movement in the room.
Chen Beibei had no choice but to wait for the three-tailed fox to open the door when he came to work.
"Dream Eater, you go in first. If you see that armor trying to hurt her, come out with me immediately. β
North Chenbei Road.
"Hmm."
Although the Dream Eater Tapir can build dreams and make people sleep, it is not a combat-type god after all.
If that armor is already a strong youkai chatter, it's still hard to stop the Dream Eater Tapir alone. That's why Chen Beibei will explain the dream tapir like this.
β¦β¦
The three-tailed fox-like clock only arrived at the shroud shop.
"Master, why are you here?"
When the three-tailed fox saw Chen Beibei and Guan Hu, his face was full of doubts. Obviously, the three-tailed fox is still completely unclear about this matter.
"There's a monster in the shroud shop, and it's already killed several people. The host is here to settle this matter. β
Guan Fox Road.
When the three-tailed fox heard Guan Hu's words, the doubts on his face instantly turned into worry.
"It's my boss...... Is it? β
The three-tailed fox asked.
Obviously, at this time, the three-tailed fox is still very worried that his boss is a monster.
If the boss really killed a lot of humans.
Then this shroud shop will definitely not be able to open, and the three-tailed fox will face unemployment.
"No, it's an armor."
Chen Beibei looked at the three-tailed fox and said to her.
Chen Beibei knew that the relationship between the three-tailed fox and his boss was very good, and he also knew that the three-tailed fox valued this job very much.
So Chen Beibei didn't worry too much about the three-tailed fox.
"Three-tailed fox, let your boss open the door. There is always an explanation for this. β
North Chenbei Road.
The three-tailed fox knew that so many people had died now, even if Chen Beibei didn't intervene, the human race would definitely investigate clearly. That youkai, no matter what, is difficult to swim through.
Rather than drag it out like this, it is better to let Chen Beibei understand some of the causes of this matter.
"Hmm."
The three-tailed fox nodded his head.
"Boss, I'm coming to work, open the door!"
The three-tailed fox knocked on the door and whispered into the room. The voice sounded exceptionally gentle.
Soon.
Footsteps rang out in the room......
The door opened, and the boss saw the three-tailed fox, as well as Chen Beibei and Guan Hu behind the three-tailed fox.
But.
The boss's face did not change, and she was very calm, as if she already knew that this was the case.
"Boss ,......"
The three-tailed fox called the boss with some guilt.
"Come in."
The boss finally said a word in front of Chen Beibei. The voice sounds cold, but it is very good, with a hint of quaint and clear sound in the voice.
Chen Beibei and they walked into the shroud shop together.
Chen Beibei could feel that the boss should already know his identity.
After all.
Chen Beibei has visited this shroud shop for the third time!
The boss will definitely not simply think that Chen Beibei is really here to buy shrouds, right?
As soon as Chen Beibei walked into the room, he directly opened the spiritual eye, wanting to see if there were any other monsters in the room. Of course...... I also want to determine whether the owner of the shroud shop is a human being!
Although that armor can already be determined to be a youkai.
And the killing should also be done by that armor, but it can't be assumed that the owner of the shroud shop is just an innocent human being. After all, the various habits of the shroud shop owner don't look like real human beings.
When Chen Beibei looked at the owner of the shroud shop, he saw that the body of the owner of the shroud shop emitted a faint red halo, as if it was smoke.
And the body of the owner of the shroud shop also looks a little transparent. It's not like a human being as a complete entity.
These are some of the characteristics of youkai after they have transformed into humans.
Whether it is Guan Fox, Snow Maiden, or Gu Hou Bird, if you use the spiritual eye to see, you basically have these characteristics.
There was a halo like smoke on his body.
And the body looks a little transparent, very light, and it doesn't have the physical feeling of a human being.
Since the owner of the shroud shop is also a monster...... This still surprised Chen Beibei.
After all.
The owner of the shroud shop has been living in the human world for a long time and even opened a shop of his own.
This should be very difficult for youkai.
Youkai and humans.
It's always in an opposing position. If it is discovered by humans, then the yokai will definitely be dealt with. Therefore, youkai basically choose to avoid humans and stay away from the areas where humans live.
But.
This youkai ...... It doesn't seem so much afraid of death......
