Chapter 58: The Twin Demons (1)
When I woke up again, it was almost noon, and I was a little sore. He sat up in a daze, looked around in some confusion, and barely managed to break free from the extreme fatigue.
"Shi'an, are you up?"
was stunned, but the closed door was knocked, and Hu Kunming's voice came from the other end.
I wiped my face, answered the noise, hurriedly put on the clothes I had grabbed casually, rushed up and opened the door.
Hu Kunming stood outside the door wearing a military uniform today, carrying a packed takeaway box in his hand, looking at me with a smile on his face.
"Uncle Hu, why are you here?"
"I'm coming to see my eldest nephew. I borrowed you from your parents, and I have to take care of you. β
With that, he let me go and walked into the room. Placing the take-out box on the only table in the room, he turned his head again and asked:
"How? Are you still used to living there? β
I nodded and replied:
"I don't have any requirements for accommodation, as long as I can sleep."
Hu Kunming laughed out loud, gave me a thumbs up, and praised:
"Yes, it's good to be a soldier."
I waved my hand again and again and said:
"No, the main reason is that I haven't paid attention to this aspect since I was a child, and I won't be pampered."
"It seems that this son cultivated by Lao Mu is not bad," Hu Kunming said with a smile again, beckoning to me, "Come, come and eat, I haven't eaten in the morning, I'm hungry, right?" β
Only then did I realize that I had slept until noon, and my stomach was rumbling after not eating for more than ten hours. was not polite to Uncle Hu, so he pulled out a chair and sat at the table.
After all, Hu Kunming is a member of the army, and he has a very good grasp of what to eat every day in a high-physical and high-intensity work unit like the army, and the dishes he brings are all low-fat and high-protein foods, which can be eaten without hurting his stomach.
opened a bowl of rice, didn't care about being polite to Hu Kunming, and ate it in a big gulp. Maybe it was because I was so tired the night before, but now my stomach is like a bottomless pit, and I can't let it be meat or vegetables, mixed with rice. Hu Kunming, who was chewing slowly, was also frightened by the formation of my meal, looked at me dumbfounded, and said:
"Shi'an, you eat slowly, no one will rob you."
I had already eaten a bowl of rice, only to find out that I was eating at the same table with Hu Kunming, I scratched the back of my head embarrassedly, and I also learned him to chew and swallow slowly, and muttered an apology:
"Uncle Hu, I'm sorry. I'm so hungry. β
Hu Kunming shook his head with a smile, but he put another piece of chicken breast into my bowl and laughed:
"It's okay, those young men in the army are more terrifying than you, you can eat four bowls of white rice in fifteen minutes."
I smiled approvingly, but was more focused on the food in my hand.
After two more bowls of rice, I was full, took out a tissue and wiped my mouth wet with oil, leaned back on the chair, and said to Hu Kunming:
"Uncle Hu, is there any news of that monster?"
Hu Kunming also put down the dishes and chopsticks, stared at me with a solemn face, and replied:
"Not yet, but we've stepped up our search of that area, and I'm sure we'll hear from it soon."
"Don't you yet......"
I'm a little worried, it stands to reason that even if ordinary people can't usually see the body of that monster, but the night before it was beaten by the guard company with an assault rifle and dispersed, according to the monster's temper, as long as a person appears within the range of its demonic spirit in the past two days, it will burst out and attack it. But so far, the people who have searched that area have not come out at all, could it really run out of the military blockade?
"Shi'an, don't worry, if there is any news, I will inform you as soon as possible."
Uncle Hu saw the worry in my eyes and comforted me softly.
"I'm just worried that it will run out of the military's blockade, and if it goes deep in the mountains and forests or in the city, it will be a little difficult."
I hesitated, but still, I voiced my worries.
Hu Kun gave me a comforting look and said:
"Don't worry, at the border of that area, we have sent more troops, and no matter how great its ability is, it will not be able to escape from under our noses."
Speaking of this, Uncle Hu's phone rang suddenly, he took out his mobile phone, glanced at the caller ID, and immediately connected.
"Hey, I'm Hu Kunming."
"Oh, I'm with him."
"Okay, okay, I'll call him to answer the phone."
I couldn't hear what was said on the other end of the phone, so Uncle Hu stuffed the phone into my hand and said with a smile:
"Your dad."
I picked up the phone, but on the other end was my Lao Tzu's scolding:
"You little bunny dare not answer your mother's call? The wings are stiff and the nose is on the face, isn't it? β
The huge volume made me have to keep the microphone away from my ears, and I still kept scolding, listening to Hu Kunming laughing a little.
"Dad, it's okay, Uncle Hu is here."
The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, I resisted my father's scolding and dissuaded.
"Hu Kunming? I'm going to scold that kid too! Fucking seduced my son away, and now he won't change it back......"
Hu Kunming's face became extremely exciting, and now it was my turn to laugh.
"Okay, Dad, tell you what you have to say."
I couldn't listen to my dad scolding anymore, so I quickly withdrew the topic.
"Shi'an, do you remember the question you asked me when you first came home? You ask me if I feel demonic energy. β
When my dad heard what I said, he didn't continue to vent, and said in a deep voice.
"Remember, what's wrong?"
I was also interested, and hurriedly asked.
"Your mother and I felt the presence of a demonic aura last night!"
My dad's words were like a shock. Hu Kunming and I glanced at each other, and we both saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes, according to what I knew about my father, his spiritual power level could only cover the entire Danjiang, and if he went out, it would not be so reliable.
"Tell me more about it?"
I asked.
"That was the second half of the night, and you know, I slept late. At that time, I was reading in the study, and I suddenly felt that the surroundings were very cold, and I thought it was because of the temperature, but after putting on a dress, I found that it was still quite cold, so I thought of the factor of demonic and ghostly energy. I used the method that your master taught us to release my spiritual power, and barely spread it to the entire Danjiang, and when I was about to approach my limit, I found a relatively strong demonic energy point. β
My dad said eloquently.
Hu Kunming and I held our breath at the same time, if it is really like what my dad said, then this monster has really escaped from the military blockade!
"Dad, are you sure?"
I asked anxiously.
If we are really escaped by that monster, we must hurry up and rush to Danjiang, otherwise, if the monster falls in the city and loses the protection of the army, the millions of people in Danjiang will only have to wait for death.
"I'm sure that even if I haven't used Reiki for so long, I can't be wrong with the perception of demonic energy."
My dad swore by it.
I looked at Hu Kunming again, and both of them nodded heavily. I believed what my dad said, so according to him, there really was a monster in Danjiang. We must rush back immediately.
"We'll be back right away!"
I said and hung up.
"You wait a minute, I will inform the army of the Ice City Military Region now."
As he spoke, he stepped aside and dialed the special satellite phone that his army had distributed.
"It's me, I'm Hu Kunming, we are now based on the exact intelligence, the thing that appeared in the military region last night is now appearing on the outskirts of Danjiang."
He frowned and kept giving orders.
"You immediately mobilize all the fighters on standby in the base, and set off immediately in an hour!"
ββ¦β¦β
"How many gunships can you send? Better give me right away! β
ββ¦β¦β
"Chief, we can be sure now, I apply to lead the team to rush over immediately!"
ββ¦β¦β
I don't know how many commands he gave out, and when he hung up the phone, his forehead was already covered with sweat.
"Uncle Hu, how's the situation?"
I asked.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied with some weariness:
"I've already deployed, you get ready, and we'll leave in an hour."
I got through to my dad's phone again, and I had something to ask him:
"Dad, can you probe again, where is that monster now?"
There was only a slight silence on the other end of the phone, and then he agreed:
"Good! You wait. β
It was about five minutes before my dad grabbed the phone out of breath and said:
"I'm tired of Lao Tzu, son, I have detected clearly, it should be in the suburbs of the northeast of Danjiang now, and the location is not much different from last night."
"Okay, hard work Dad, you and Mom should pay attention to safety!"
I said with some distress.
hung up the phone and reported the situation to Hu Kunming. Hu Kunming immediately made a decision, grabbed a pair of clothes for me to go out, and said sharply:
"Let's go!"
I hurriedly got dressed, grabbed my backpack with the talisman, and rushed downstairs to the hotel with Hu Kunming. The lobby manager of the hotel saw that we were about to go out before we could pay, so he hurriedly stepped forward to block us, but Hu Kunming pushed back with an urgent action, and turned his head and ordered the guards who came to pick us up and send the bill back to the headquarters.
Climbing into the Hummer car, which had been parked downstairs in the hotel for a long time, Hu Kunming yelled at the driver:
"Back to base!"
The driver had also received the notice, and with a sonorous response, the whole car rushed towards the road like a wild horse.
"Tick Linglingβ"
Before he drove out for ten seconds, Hu Kunming's satellite phone rang suddenly.
He picked up the phone and said impatiently:
"Hello? What's going on again? β
Unexpectedly, just one sentence on the other side made Hu Kunming's whole face gloomy.
"I know, go back right away!"
He said in a deep voice and hung up.
"What's wrong?"
I asked, feeling a sense of foreboding.
Hu Kunming glanced at me, but asked:
"Shi'an, what kind of monster did you say we saw last night?"
This question stumped me, I really hadn't seen the information about the monster, so I had to answer honestly:
"I don't know, but judging from the form of last night's battle, there should be an attack technique in the form of spells that other youkai don't have."
"Including doppelgangers?"
Hu Kunming asked coldly.
My brows furrowed instantly, and I hurriedly asked:
"What's wrong?"
"Our military restricted area has also found traces of that monster!"
