Qingyuan Town, in the evening.

"Stomp..."

Shi Liang, who had just returned from outside the town on horseback, led a group of security team members behind him towards the security team station.

"Captain! This is the data of the people in the town that has been sorted out! Please take a look! ”

A man with the identity of the squad leader hurriedly stepped forward and handed Shi Liang the various data in his hand that recorded the various data collected after running all over Qingyuan Town today.

“...”

"How so..."

The more Shi Liang looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong!

"Has this data been verified in detail?!"

Shi Liang asked the squad leader.

"Yes, Captain! I will vouch for my life! All the data was collected and reported by the brothers after they traveled all over the town! ”

The squad leader man said with a serious face.

"Then something really happened..."

After Shi Liang was confirmed again, his face suddenly turned a little pale and muttered to himself.

Because...

It is recorded that nearly half of the farmer's homes in the entire town have lost some of the various livestock they raised!

Moreover, the number of missing people is as high as nearly thirty!

You must know that even if Qingyuan Town was attacked by mountain bandits before, nearly thirty townspeople did not disappear out of thin air!

What kind of huge mountain bandit force must be this to be able to kidnap all these people without knowing it, and also steal those livestock...

Besides, it doesn't make sense!

Why do you have such a great power that you can take away all the townspeople living in all directions of the town in one night, everywhere?

Shi Liang was a little confused about the purpose of this group of mountain bandits.

Today, he led two teams to explore all the nearby mountains, and found that there was no trace of anyone at all!

Moreover, on the roads in these mountainous areas, no footprints of horses other than myself and others were found!

With so many townspeople and so many livestock kidnapped, how did this gang of mountain bandits leave Qingyuan Town?

Even if you leave, there will be movement and traces left!

Can't it fly?!

This made Shi Liang puzzled...

But unfortunately, since there is nothing on his side, he can only see if the second team finds any valuable clues...

.......

Time flies quickly, and the time has come.

After today's incident, the residents of Qingyuan Town also knew that there might be a group of mountain bandits nearby, so as soon as it was dark, they returned to their homes, tightened the door, and no longer went out.

In addition, some residents who raised livestock also had a good eye and made some bells and other things around the area where the livestock were used as early warnings.

If anyone dares to steal their livestock, then it will definitely be known!

At the same time, Shi Liang also arranged for two teams of people to patrol around Qingyuan Town non-stop.

He wants to see if these mountain bandits dare to come over tonight!

The security team is still brightly lit in the station.

Shi Liang sat in the office, flipping through the various clues collected by the second team today.

The more he looked, the more he felt that something was wrong!

Because, there is a key point in these clues, that is, every missing person and the residence of the lost livestock are almost in a semicircle!

In other words, the bandits start from one direction to kidnap and steal, and then end up in the other direction.

It's like...

The kind that doesn't stop until you've had enough...

And, most importantly, most of the missing people are young women and young men!

It's all missing, or in the case of being alone, or in pairs of twos!

"If I'm a robber, then why don't you just sweep away an area and get out of it?"

"Why bother with such a lot of effort, almost half of the area of Qingyuan Town..."

"What the hell is the intention..."

......

About half an hour later, the security team was stationed outside the station, and suddenly there was the sound of panicked footsteps.

"Captain!"

"Captain! Oh no! ”

"Something's wrong!"

A member of the patrol team ran to the security office with a frightened face and shouted at Shi Liang.

"What's wrong?!"

Shi Liang asked with a frown.

"There's a dead man in town!"

"What?!"

"Who died?"

"Uncle Li's family who raise sheep!"

......

The west side of the town.

The address of Uncle Li's family, who raised sheep.

At this time, the sky was pitch black, and it was impossible to see anything clearly, but it was lit up by the burning fire of dozens of torches!

"What the hell is this doing?!"

Shi Liang looked at the humanoid body in front of him, which had been dismembered, and his eyes looked extremely solemn.

"When did you find out about this?"

"Just a quarter of an hour ago!"

"When we were patrolling here, we suddenly felt a dark shadow flickering in the distance! It was so fast that we couldn't catch up at all! ”

"Then we followed the direction of the dark shadow to inspect it, and the result was..."

"I found that Uncle Li's family of three was all ...

The patrolling security guards told Shi Liang about the previous situation.

"Didn't you use weapons?!"

"Used! But..."

"That dark shadow is not afraid of the guns in our hands!"

"All the bullets we hit it were ineffective!"

"Captain..."

"Could it be some ghost or something..."

“...”

Looking at the somewhat frightened eyes of the people behind him, Shi Liang suddenly didn't know what to say, because even he himself began to question the previous inference...

What could have swept through most of Qingyuan Town in one night, and then kidnapped so many residents and livestock silently...

And what can escape on its own without fear of the power of the musket...

And...

And so ruthless!

Shi Liang silently looked at the remnants that could no longer be pieced together with a complete body, and the ground where there was not much blood left at all...

A monster that sucks human blood?!

"I'll take care of this matter myself! None of you here today are allowed to divulge what happened today! ”

"Dare to leak! Shoot on the spot! ”

"Yes! Captain! ”

Some frightened members of the security team were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly responded!

After all, his captain is the kind of person who says everything, and no one dares to disobey his words at this time!

"A few people will bury the corpses of Uncle Li's family on the spot, and then clean up the scene!"

"Yes!"

Shi Liang looked at the busy figures of his subordinates with an expression, but his mind began to think about how to solve this matter.

"I heard that in Renjia Town next door, there is a Taoist master named Uncle Jiu, who specializes in dealing with this kind of thing."

"It seems..."

"Gotta find someone!"

In his own town, when this kind of thing happens, Shi Liang has no choice, if it is really a mountain bandit, then he is confident that he can deal with it!

But if it's really like what his subordinates say, it's those ghosts and other things...

That's not something that ordinary people like yourself can solve!

......
