Chapter 342: The Monster is Coming
Shao Mi stood in place with a frown, the muscles of his whole body tensed, just now he clearly noticed that there was someone here, but in an instant, he disappeared.
"Vice-Ministry, what's wrong?" Ning Lan said with a big gasp.
"Let people come up and search around, the murderer should have appeared here just now," Shao Mi said cautiously looking around.
In the dark, he felt that the murderer should not have left yet, just peeking at him from a corner around here.
"Huh? Murderer! Ning Lan exclaimed, but after thinking about it carefully, according to the laws of criminal investigation, the murderer is indeed very likely to return to the scene of the crime again.
"Deputy Ministry, I'll let people come and search!" Ning Lan felt as if she had caught the clues of the murderer, as long as she followed this line, it didn't seem to be a problem to solve the case.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and the blood red of the sunset in winter is covered with a layer of gray and white, which is a little dilapidated.
Changbai Mountain was once again shrouded in darkness, and the whistle became more and more gloomy in such an atmosphere, Ning Lan looked at the whistle from a distance, and felt her scalp tingle for no reason.
"Let's go, it's time for us to go back!" Shao Mi quietly walked behind Ning Lan and gently patted Ning Lan's back.
"Mom!" A scream startled away the birds in the woods, and the hoarse and unpleasant sounds of the crows continued.
Ning Lan turned her head in horror, and when she saw that it was Shao Mi, her heart, which had already mentioned her throat, finally sank, and she patted her chest with palpitations.
Because of anger, Ning Lan's little face turned red, "Vice Minister Shao Mi!" Don't you know that people are scary and scared to death! Especially in this kind of scene! ”
The furious Ning Lan temporarily forgot the identities of the two.
Shao Mi was embarrassed for a while when he saw Ning Lan who was so angry for the first time, in fact, in fact, he just wanted to scare Ning Lan, but he didn't expect Ning Lan's reaction to be so big......
Poor Shao Mi, who is called the night owl and can make children famous for crying, turned out to be at a loss in front of Ning Lan.
"That, that I didn't mean to scare you just now" Shao Mi stumbled as he spoke, and his gray-white hair was blown in the cold wind.
"Let's go, let's go down the mountain quickly" Ning Lan involuntarily tightened her neck, didn't look at Shao Mi, and walked down the mountain by herself.
After walking down the mountain, after passing four whistles in a row, Shao Mi and the others finally returned to the gathering place of Changbai located halfway up the mountain, and everyone looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Shao Mi seems to be more relaxed at this moment, after all, people are still social social animals, and when faced with unknown dangers, people will subconsciously choose to hold together.
This is a habit imprinted in human genes, just as some people will be afraid of snakes, spiders, heights, and so on since childhood.
Just as everyone was about to walk towards the execution department together, a few kilometers away from the edge of the forest, a human-like monster slowly walked out of the darkness at the edge of the forest.
A pair of gray-white dead fish eyes were full of madness, greed, and killing intentions, even from such a distance, the delicious aura on Shao Mi's body had been attracting him.
There was a little more struggle and entanglement on the hideous face, but the smell on Shao Mi's body was attracting it to death, perhaps greed had finally defeated reason, and the monster no longer continued to wander.
The slumped body flickered on the snow, and soon approached the Changbai gathering place......
The night is quietly coming, and the arrival of winter has caused the temperature to drop rapidly, and in just one week, the temperature in Changbai at night has dropped to minus 20 degrees!
The cold winter makes people have to stay in their rooms after nightfall, and thanks to the energy conversion system, most homes have installed new heating.
The half-person heating makes the room soft and soft, and compared to the cold outside, the room is a paradise.
It was difficult to see people in the dim light, and even if there were, they came and went in a hurry, except for the patrols of Changbai still roaming the streets.
No one knew that in the seemingly quiet Changbai, a monster had already infiltrated it.
Coming out of Liu Shan's office, Shao Mi let out a sigh of relief, Liu Shan's aggressive posture made Shao Mi difficult to parry, and now he has finally survived this catastrophe.
Compared with the Planning Department or the Intelligence Department, the Executive Department can be said to be a Qingshui Yamen.
It is basically impossible to see the scene of countless commissioners walking back and forth day and night, like the planning department or the intelligence department.
At five o'clock in the evening, the executive department, which was still bustling and very lively, was basically empty, except for some of the staff on duty.
Therefore, in the Changbai gathering place, the executive department has another name, that is, the nursing home.
The originally brightly lit hall was so deserted at the moment, even the commissioners on duty had their own rooms, and no one would choose to spend the night in this hall.
As far as the line of sight could see, Ning Lan's back was reflected in Shao Mi's sight, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and Shao Mi quietly walked behind Ning Lan again.
The palm that had been stretched out hovered in mid-air, Shao Mi thought of the scene in the afternoon, if he was scaring her like this, I am afraid that Ning Lan would be really angry.
Deliberately making footsteps, Shao Mi coughed lightly, and Ning Lanzi turned his head after hearing the movement.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Shao Mi asked softly.
"I collected some clues in the afternoon, so I plan to figure it out as soon as possible, and solve the case a day earlier may save a life" Ning Lauder frowned slightly, and the white paper in her hand was full of dense black letters.
"It's so late, it's not bad this night, your body is important, I'll send you home" Shao Mi's voice could not be refused.
Ning Lan put down the white paper in her hand, and her delicate face was a little more tangled, but she nodded silently after all.
The two of them walked slowly towards the outside of the hall of the executive department, and the moment the door of the two of them was opened, the howling cold wind mixed with snowflakes hit their faces.
Shao Mi's face was as usual, and with a wave of his hand, a pale black light quietly appeared, and the snowflakes in the sky seemed to have never appeared.
"Let's go, I haven't eaten yet," Shao Mi whispered.
On the street outside the executive department, it was quiet and terrible, and there was no half of people on the street, for some reason, Ning Lan felt a little inexplicably irritable in her heart.
The dark night in the distance made her feel uneasy, and Ning Lan, who was following Shao Mi, followed more closely.
"What's wrong?" Shao Mi asked softly without looking back.
Ning Lauder's brows furrowed slightly, and the sense of uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense, but she didn't know what the problem was.
"It's okay, let's go quickly, it's a little cold outside" Ning Lan responded.
Shao Mi was silent, but he didn't pierce it, no matter how Ning Lan said it, she was also a moonlight-level Heavenly Chosen One, how could it be cold.
I don't know when a dark cloud appeared in the night sky, the cold moonlight was obscured, and the dim streetlights on both sides of the street stood alone in their place.
The cold wind howled more and more, and Shao Mi suddenly stood still!
The hairs on his back stood up, and Shao Mi felt the extremely malicious eyes again. Not allowing Ning Lan to object, Shao Mi directly dragged Ning Lan in front of him with his big hand.
"You don't care about what happens for a while, I will let you run, you will run, go back to the executive department to find Minister Liu Shan, and say that I found that monster, let him come to support immediately"
Shao Mi's series of words, Ning Lan didn't turn around at all, but years of experience as a criminal police told him that he couldn't mess around at this time no matter what.
The little head tapped twice very firmly, Ning Lan didn't know what would happen next, but she firmly imprinted what Shao Mi said in her mind.
The pitch-black invisible light flowed back and forth on the surface of Shao Mi's body, and Shao Mi could clearly feel that the extremely malicious eyes were looking at him wantonly.
The rough palm slowly stretched out to his waist, and after feeling the unique touch of the hemp rope wrapped around the dagger around his waist, Shao Mi felt much more at ease.
For the Chosen, a weapon is their second life, and as long as the weapon is in hand, anything is possible.
In the darkness of the street at night, the dark and thin monster finally couldn't hold back, and its long black tongue stuck out of its mouth, splashing on the ground with inky saliva.
Greedy gaze, that is the desire for flesh and blood, the smell of Shao Mi's body makes the monster unable to extricate himself, as long as he eats him, he can become stronger!
At this moment it moved, accompanied by a howling cold wind!
"Run!"
Shao Mi pushed Ning Lan out of the way, holding a pitch-black dagger in his hand!
"Dangchang!"
"Dangchang!"
The dull wheezing sound and the sound of metal echoing came out one after another, Ning Lan did not look back, and resolutely ran towards the executive department, only by informing Minister Liu Shan as soon as possible, Shao Mi would have one more chance to live.
"Shao Mi, don't have an accident!" Ning Lan meditated in her heart.
"Poof!"
In an instant, a deep bone-deep cut appeared on Shao Mi's arm, and blood flowed down his arm to his fingers, dripping to the ground.
The greedy wolf and madness in the eyes of the monster are even worse, this is the taste! That taste of blood in your mouth is simply intoxicating!
Shao Mi snorted coldly, and the pitch-black dagger waved in his hand repeatedly, the reason why he Shao Mi was called a night owl was for a reason!
Owl, this creature has another name in Huaxia, that is, owl, the night is a natural umbrella for Shao Mi, and his strength can be exerted to the greatest extent at night!
The inky light radiated from Shao Mi as the center, and the darkness of the night and Shao Mi's ink blended with each other.
looked at the monster with indifferent eyes like an ant, and when the crystal snowflakes landed on the dagger, Shao Mi moved!
The figure was like a phantom, and the pitch-black ink turned into a storm and rose into the sky! The snowflakes in the sky seemed to feel Shao Mi's determination and scattered one after another.
