The sentence behind the village chief is not a declarative sentence, but an interrogative sentence.

And as he spoke, he turned his gaze to me again.

I'm glad he still remembers that, so I nod at him earnestly.

The village chief couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "In this way, you are still from our whole village...... No, it should be the great benefactor of all mankind? ”

There was not the slightest hint of sarcasm in his words, and the way he looked at me was a little awe-inspiring.

But of course I can't nod my head, I can only shake my head.

"I don't dare to do this, I want to change anyone, I will fight back!" I say.

The village chief sighed, as if he had aged a lot all of a sudden.

He put one hand on the shoulder of a young villager and wanted to leave, but stopped and instructed Fang Fei: "Xiaofei, you arrange a place for them to live and treat each other politely!" In addition, I quickly released the three policemen when I went back, and the villagers who died in the afternoon had nothing to do with them! ”

"Village chief, if it has nothing to do with them, then that ...... Who is the murderer? ”

One of the villagers couldn't help but ask more, presumably among the few people who died in the afternoon was his closest relative.

"I'm tired, I'll give you an explanation tomorrow!"

The village chief shook his head with a wry smile, said no more, and slowly walked away with the support of the young villager.

The other villagers looked at me and Meng Xiang and Liu Manqi a few more times, but there were still many hostile glances among them, so we naturally ignored them.

The body of the strong man who had been killed by the gray-white monster had been picked up by the villagers. A group of dozens of people followed the village chief back to the village, and only Fang Fei stayed behind and waited for the four of us.

Gao Lingkai put one of my arms on his shoulder, and couldn't help but ask me again: "What does the village chief mean when he says that you are the great benefactor of all mankind?" ”

"It's not interesting!" I smiled indifferently.

Gao Lingkai is not a stupid person, he pondered in his heart, and suddenly showed a look of sudden realization.

"I see! I remember before...... It is when you wake up all the sleeping people that I am inexplicably full of adoration for you, and I kneel and kowtow to you very spinelessly, and everyone will kneel and kowtow to you when they see you! I know something is taking over your body, isn't it...... If you don't drive it out, sooner or later, all the people of the world will kneel down and prostrate to you? ”

He guessed again, but I just smiled at him, nodding or shaking my head.

Gao Lingkai also understood that this kind of thing should not be discussed too much in front of others, so he smiled and didn't ask any more.

When I returned to the village that night, I stayed with Gao Lingkai and Meng Xiang and five other police officers, all of whom stayed at the village chief's house.

It's a pity that I didn't wait for the "flying saucer to take off" and other movements all night, presumably the strange-looking alien creatures either haven't left yet, or their flying machines are unimaginable to humans, and human mortals can't see them at all.

I don't know how the village chief explained this to the villagers, but by the next day, the villagers' attitude towards me had improved significantly, and they were no longer as hostile as before.

However, the village chief still asked us to go back as soon as possible and tell the relevant leaders to send their holy relics back as soon as possible.

Although he had come to a vague conclusion that the so-called "gods" might not be "gods" in the traditional sense, it was a true fact that the statue kept the entire village from getting sick for decades.

Meng Xiang and I could only promise again and again, promising that as soon as we went back, we would apply to the leader.

Meng Xiang and Director Lei spoke on the phone, and Director Lei quickly arranged for a helicopter to take us back to Linnan City.

Gao Lingkai still stayed in Fangjiaao, putting on a posture that he would never leave Fangjiaao if he didn't completely chase Fang Fei into his hands.

We made a brief report to Director Lei, and Director Lei asked me to go to the hospital to see the injury on my arm first, and then rest at home for two days before going to Ziyunshan Town.

I called the Nanchuan County Police Station and asked them to take the time to go to Uncle Zhang's house and ride the motorcycle back.

That old little building was really like a miracle, and with the severity of my injuries at the time, according to normal circumstances, I would not have been able to recover without ten days and a half months.

But when I returned to Linnan, I looked at the wound and felt that it was almost completely healed.

Later, under Meng Xiang's "escort", I still went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said that there was no major problem at all, and I didn't even need to get a needle, but just got me some medicine.

Meng Xiang didn't mess with me anymore on the surface, but the knots in my heart were obviously not completely unraveled, and I wanted to talk to her about Uncle Zhang and Zhang Xiaoyun several times, but every time the words came to my mouth, I couldn't say it.

I'm afraid that she will make me promise that I will never see Zhang Xiaoyun again, and I can't do it at all.

Not only because I still have nostalgia for Zhang Xiaoyun, but also because I know that once Uncle Zhang feels that I am "unkind" to Zhang Xiaoyun, he will definitely retaliate against me.

I am not afraid of his retaliation, because Zhang Xiaoyun once said that she can no longer control my brain, and naturally cannot pose a threat to me.

So Uncle Zhang turned into a ghost at most and scared me a few times, but it didn't do me any real harm.

But Meng Xiang is different, once Uncle Zhang turns to Meng Xiang to vent his anger, Meng Xiang has no way to deal with it.

I really regret that I was entangled with Zhang Xiaoyun at the beginning, and now it is too late to regret it, for the sake of the woman I love the most, I can only slowly find a way to sort out the relationship with Zhang Xiaoyun.

Leaving Zhang Xiaoyun, I will be melancholy, but I will not be heartbroken.

But if I lose Meng Xiang because of Zhang Xiaoyun, I think I might as well die.

And at present, I can only maintain this state of confusion, knowing that Meng Xiang has a pimple in his heart, but I can't find a way to solve it for the time being.

After resting at home for three days, the injury on his arm healed better, and presumably in two more days, he would be able to take a bath in water without any scruples.

Unexpectedly, early in the morning of the fourth day, I got up early and went downstairs to the small garden to practice boxing.

"Gao Li, the people of Fangjiaao have fallen asleep again, and everyone in the whole village can't wake up except me!"

He was so anxious that I was taken aback and blurted out to him, "How can this be?" Hasn't the statue of the nude woman been moved? ”

"I don't know what's going on! But I'm in the village now, and I can't even wake up Fang Fei, what do you say, Gao Li? Help me figure it out! ”

"Don't worry, wait until I ask about the situation in the lab first, and then I'll call you!"

I didn't wait for Gao Lingkai to say, there was an ominous premonition, so I immediately hung up Gao Lingkai's phone and dialed the mobile phone number of Expert Zhao from the laboratory in Ziyunshan Town.

The bell rang for a long time, but no one answered the phone.

The sense of foreboding in my heart was even stronger, and I had to call the mobile phone of one of the special police officers in charge of security over there.

But again, no one answered.

I felt chills all over my body, and I had to dial Director Lei's mobile phone number.

Because it was not yet time to go to work, the mobile phone rang for a while, and Director Lei answered.

"Colliers, what's the matter?" He asked, very mildly.

"Director Lei, something happened again!" I said, without waiting for him to open his mouth to ask, I continued in one breath, "That Gao Lingkai is now in Fangjiaao, and just now he called me and said that the villagers in Fangjiaao fell into a deep sleep again, and they couldn't wake up anymore!" ”

Director Lei said "ah" and blurted out to me, "Why is this happening, hasn't that statue been transported away?" Could it be that the reason why the villagers are sleeping is not because of the statue? ”

"That's what worries me the most! I just called the lab, but no one answered, and I was worried about ......."

I didn't dare to say it all, but Director Lei certainly understood, and couldn't help but ask me in shock: "You don't mean to say it...... The whole town over the lab is asleep, isn't it? ”

"I do have this kind of worry, so I would like to ask Director Lei if he can quickly let someone investigate!"

"Okay, I'll find someone right away, you wait for my call!"

Director Lei hung up the phone.

I waited for a while, and Director Lei's call came back.

"Consultant Gao, you have a hunch right, all the phone calls over there are no longer available, I have asked the Nanchuan County Police Department to immediately send someone to the scene to investigate, you and Meng Xiang come to me first."

I immediately called Meng Xiang, and Meng Xiang asked me to go directly to Director Lei, and she arrived later.

So I rushed to the Linnan City Police Station first, and waited in the courtyard of the police station for a few minutes, and Meng Xiang came over on a motorcycle.

I didn't have time to tell Meng Xiangduo, and when she parked her motorcycle, we walked together to Director Lei's office.

Director Lei's face was solemn, and he was fiddling with an open laptop in front of him.

As soon as he saw us come in, he said, "This is the recording just transmitted by the Nanchuan County Bureau, you two come and listen to it!" ”

As he spoke, he turned his laptop around and faced me and Meng Xiang.

In fact, he didn't have to turn the computer around, Meng Xiang and I could hear the sound, it was just a subconscious action of him.

I saw an audio file clicked open on the computer desktop, and a man's voice was speaking rapidly.

"Report to the chief, we saw two people on the road who were unconscious, and there was a bus parked on the side of the road in front of us, but...... I feel so sleepy, Xiao Li and Xiao Wang have already slept over, Director, I can't hold on......"

The voice yawned a few times, and then it was silent.

Meng Xiang and I looked at each other, and both of us couldn't help but change their faces.

"How so? Is it ...... in broad daylight?"

Meng Xiang didn't finish her words, because she was too shocked, she looked at Director Lei with a pair of beautiful eyes.

"yes, how can this be?" I muttered along, "Last time I was in Fangjiaao, there would be nothing during the day, and only when I stayed in Fangjiaao at night, there would be a new sleeping incident." How this time...... Not only does it happen during the day, but even the person driving the car can fall into a deep sleep? ”

I couldn't control the series of words, and naturally set my eyes on Director Lei.
