The "angler" is a very magical existence.

Humans invented the skill of fishing for food, but as the times evolved, the word "fishing" gradually deviated from its original meaning.

Jiang Taigong was an "angler", he used a hook without bait to transfer to King Wen of Zhou, creating a prosperous era of the Western Zhou Dynasty; Although Liu Zongyuan doesn't fish himself, he likes to watch others fish, especially when he is lonely and frustrated, he says, "Lonely boat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow." "Let future generations understand that it is not only fish that can be fished, but also loneliness.

In modern times, there are more anglers, abounding, large rivers, lakes and seas, small streams, small streams and small pools, and even more exaggerated are the occasional people fishing in the gutters and sewers.

Some of them really like fishing, fishing purely for the sake of fishing, some for the enjoyment of the quiet and serene heart when fishing, some are pretending to fish elegantly, and even more for the sake of fishing with others.

Lao Liu belongs to the second type, since his retirement, he has come to the old Yongjiang wharf every day to fish, rain or shine.

This wharf is in the sixties and seventies of the last century, the municipal government specially built for people to cross the Yongjiang River, at that time there was an iron ferry every half an hour from here, to the opposite bank, and then full of pedestrians and vehicles to return, it is back and forth every day, bearing the heavy responsibility of people on both sides of the strait, the wharf at that time can be said to be the most lively place in Yongcheng.

This bustle continued until the first bridge was built, and as one bridge after another crossed the river, the bustle slowly became lonely, and the pier gradually declined, until finally it became unattended.

And the dilapidated tin ferry, which carries the memories of many older generations of Yongcheng people crossing the river, is also shelved on this same old wharf, silently looking at the ever-changing Yongcheng in front of them, perhaps, in the dead of night, it and the wharf will remember their youthful spirit.

Who hasn't lived their green years? Who hasn't been young and frivolous?

Lao Liu also has it! It's just that he is now old and full of children and grandchildren, so he is stable, and he lives a calm life, and the greatest pleasure every day is to go to this dock that is also old, and fish quietly.

However, today's fishing situation made Lao Liu feel very strange. After all, he has been fishing here for more than ten years, and his fishing skills are not only professional-level, but also the top of the amateur level, and he knows this water area well, where there are more fish, where there are fewer fish, what fish are here, what fish are there in what time, and he knows what fish there is at what time.

But today, he didn't catch a single fish, as if all the fish in the waters had disappeared cleanly, and there was not a single fish left.

Lao Liu frowned, somehow, he always had an ominous feeling in his heart, and this feeling had saved his life several times when he was young and frivolous.

Something is wrong, there must be something wrong! Lao Liu began to concentrate and become vigilant.

Suddenly, he noticed that a person was waving his hands frantically at him on the high bridge across the river, and at the same time, he could faintly hear him shouting something.

Pricked up his ears and listened carefully, Lao Liu barely heard the words floating in the wind far away: "...... Escape....... Below....... There is something....... Hurry up ......."

Lao Liu's color changed suddenly, and without thinking about it, he kicked the fish bucket in front of him directly, and at the same time lifted the small folding stool under his buttocks, got up and retreated sharply.

At the same time, an ugly head the size of a small square table poked up from the embankment beneath the fishing rod.

The skull was covered with a layer of extremely tough-looking black skin, slippery and smucus, it had no ears, its narrow dark eyes were full of brutality, and its foul mouth with interlaced teeth was now wide open towards the place where Lao Liu stood.

"Bang!" The red plastic fragments in the sky exploded, and the fish bucket that Lao Liu kicked out without hesitation just now saved his life. The fish bucket was just kicked into the monster's mouth, and Lao Liu was subjected to the fatal bite instead.

Although Lao Liu, who was retreating sharply, his face changed greatly, but he did not panic, he calmly smashed the folding stool in his hand towards the monster's mouth, and at the same time threw himself sideways to the left front, and immediately he fell to the ground, and then rolled a few times in a row and ran out a long way, this sharp action is by no means something that ordinary old people can do.

And at the same time as he rushed out, a scarlet tongue suddenly popped out of the monster's mouth and shot straight towards Lao Liu, this time it also did not shoot Lao Liu, but pierced the folding stool thrown by Lao Liu.

Lao Liu gasped and stood on the steps of the dock, he didn't turn around and escape, in the face of such a fierce monster, leaving his back to it would only die faster, dare to face it head-on, put on a desperate posture, maybe there is a glimmer of life.

The monster did not attack again, it was still lying on the embankment, only showing its head, its narrow and brutal eyes stared at Lao Liu, and Lao Liu stared at it fiercely with wide eyes, and for a while, the scene fell into an eerie silence, until the alarm bell sounded not far away.

The monster slowly retracted its head, sinking little by little, first with a hideous mouth, then with long, narrow and vicious eyes, then with a bare head, and finally completely disappeared.

On the other side, Lao Liu did not dare to relax at all, and was still on guard, until the members of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau rushed to his side, he was shocked and sat on the ground sweating profusely.

............

In the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau, the members of Group 7 are watching a video with solemn expressions. Looking at the content of this video, it is the strange beast attack that happened on the old dock this morning.

This video was provided by a tourist who was sightseeing on the bridge at the time. At first, the photographer should have wanted to record the beauty and magnificence of the Yongjiang River, he started shooting from the east bank of the Yongjiang River, and then slowly moved the camera, through the wide river, to the west bank of the Yongjiang River.

And as the camera pulls in, a terrifying beast slowly emerges in the picture.

It was a lizard-like monster, the size of a lifeboat, pitch black, and a long, pointed tail trailing behind it. At this time, it was lying on the vertical embankment, quietly moving upward, and when the video captured it, its entire body was already attached to the embankment, and its hideous head was about to touch the top of the shore, and just a step away from its head, an old man was fishing there with a fishing rod in his hand.

Then the video heard the frightened yelling of the photographer: "Run! There's something down there, run away! ”

Just as he finished shouting, the monster attacked brazenly, and the ordinary old man miraculously dodged its attack and saved his life under its mouth. At the end of the picture, the monster slipped into the Yongjiang River and disappeared completely.

"This mutant beast has been tentatively named "Yongjiang Monster", and now the task of finding and eliminating it has been assigned to our group. Hu Fei turned off the video, glanced around all the seven group members present, and continued, "There was news just now that someone found its traces in the Yongjiang River sewer again, so let's set off now to investigate!" ”
