In the hostel, Xiaofeng and Mao Du had already begun to fall asleep, while I tossed and turned, my mind full of everything that had happened today.

A Wang Yi with a demon core that is extremely similar to Di Wu, a "vanisher" who looks exactly like me, and a middle-aged woman who looks like Xiaowei who has reappeared......

What kind of secrets are hidden in this treacherous village? What is their relationship with the Di family?

Also, what do these people want from me?

Looking at the two sleeping people next to me, I suddenly felt a little envious of the godsend.

As a guy whose brain power has been developed to a certain extent, no matter how much stimulation he receives, he can at least self-hypnosis and get a good night's sleep.

Is it a good mental quality? I've never been much worse, but the level that was not bad seems to be a bit inadequate in the current situation.

I rubbed my temples and covered my head with the quilt: I had to get some rest.

......

The next morning, I was woken up by a loud chatter.

I held my skull, which was extremely torn, squinted my eyes and slowly got up, came to the window, and gently opened the curtains.

The warm winter sun poured down on me unreservedly, and the harsh sunlight made me a little dizzy.

I looked out the window and saw that not far from the hostel, a group of people were talking about something around the corpses of cats and dogs.

How can there be so many cat and dog carcasses?

And we didn't go back last night, so what happened after we went back?

I shook my head and forced myself to wake up, then came to Xiaofeng and patted the two of them hard: "Hurry up!" Something seems to be going on out there! ”

"What's the matter? I was badly injured last night and consumed a lot of brain power, so you let me sleep a little longer! Xiao Feng muttered without opening his eyes. Mao Du on the side didn't react at all, still snoring lightly.

These two ...... Forget it, leave them alone, I'll go down first!

I turned around and walked out of the room. But the moment I walked out of the room, I suddenly remembered that the two of them seemed to be a little familiar with this state of sleep.

That's right! On our first night at the hostel, the two of us fell into a deep sleep almost as much as we do now!

Could it be that they were attacked that night?

With a hint of suspicion, I ran down the stairs and into the crowd.

A large number of cat and dog corpses are densely spread all over the ground, and the scene is quite infiltrating. The surrounding onlookers were talking and pointing.

The strange thing is that these cats and dogs should have died after we went back last night, and it is winter now, but these corpses are actually starting to stink.

Could it be that these cats and dogs are actually dead a long time ago? Just transferred here? What is the purpose of transferring these cats and dogs? Is it some kind of ritual?

Suddenly, I was captivated by the carcass of a wild dog covered in pitch black.

The wild dog has half of its tail broken and looks a little funny.

This wild dog is the one we ate not far away when we confronted Wang Yi last night!

In other words, it didn't last long to die! At least it's alive until we go back!

But from last night to now, only six or seven hours into the world, how could it suddenly die, and even the corpse began to stink?

I looked around at the crowd of onlookers and found a very penetrating situation.

Although these people were telling each other something, they looked angry, but from their eyes, I saw a trace of unusual emotion: it was sadness!

That's right, these people actually showed a sad look for a pack of wild cats and wild dogs!

A hand rested gently on my shoulder.

I shuddered, and turned around sharply to find Xiaofeng and Mao Du standing behind me.

"That dog ......"

"yes, I noticed." I interrupted Xiaofeng, "So it shouldn't be long before they died." ”

"But it stinks." Xiao Feng said: "I roughly counted them just now, and there are about seventy of them. ”

"Unbelievable......" I sighed, "there are so many wild cats and wild dogs in today's very modern urban village – and that's not all." ”

"What's even weirder is how exactly they died?" Mao Du continued: "Their corpses seem to be very consistent, and their faces are all facing one direction. If it weren't deliberately placed, the battle of this corpse alone would be terrifying enough! ”

At this moment, a boy of about seven or eight years old suddenly rushed through the crowd, came to the corpses of these cats and dogs, gently picked up a wild cat, and hugged it vigorously, ignoring the stench on its body.

"Long Long, what are you doing?" A woman in her thirties ran over as she called, snatched the carcass of a wild cat from the boy's hand, threw it aside, and angrily scolded, "What are you doing! There are germs! ”

"Leave me alone!" The boy stubbornly broke free from the woman's hand and picked up the wild cat once more.

"You...... You're trying to me off! The woman stamped her foot, slapped the boy hard, threw the wild cat carcass aside again, and forcefully carried the boy out of the crowd.

The boy wept silently on the woman's shoulder, but he didn't struggle, just stared at the carcass of the wild cat on the ground.

Xiaofeng and Mao Du and I glanced at each other, and then walked out of the crowd.

"At this point, I think we should be able to guess some of the village's secrets." Xiaofeng said softly.

"Animals, perhaps, are people." I replied, "Man, on the other hand, is an animal." Based on the reactions of the boy and his mother today, as well as the looks of the onlookers around him, I suspect that the normal people of this village may not know the secrets of the village. And these animals that have become humans should be inextricably linked with those who have become animals. ”

"Ask the woman?" Xiaofeng patted Mao Du and said, "Uncle Mao, I have something I want to ask you about." ”

"Xiaofeng, say it! I'm worried I can't help myself! Mao Du said.

"You use your atomization power to spy on that little boy for a day and see what he's doing." Small air ducts.

"That's it?"

"That's it." Xiao Feng said: "But don't underestimate this matter. Be sure to write down all of the little boy's actions. ”

"It's easy, rest assured!"

"Ah Fei, let's go talk to that woman." Xiao Feng said: "I have a gut feeling that that woman is one of the few people in this village where we can communicate in depth. ”

A moment later, we followed the woman to her door.

The woman's house is a bit dilapidated, and it can be seen that it is not a rich family.

Standing outside the courtyard gate, at a glance, you can see that the courtyard of the woman's house is very tidy - this should be a very hard-working hostess.

"This little boy seems to be a single-parent family." Xiaofeng muttered.

"You can see that, too?"

"Look at the shoe rack in the yard, there are two pairs of slippers, one large and one small, but one pair of male shoes are missing."

"Maybe the man went out to work?"

"No, it won't." Xiao Feng said: "This woman's eyes are very complicated, as if this boy is the whole of her life. This kind of look is usually only seen in women who are dependent on their children. ”
