When Guo Yan woke up, it was already seven o'clock in the morning on the third day, he looked around and found himself in a hospital bed.

Turning his head, Lu Tingnan was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed, his eyes were hazy, and he was shaking his head sleepily.

"Buns." Guo Yan shouted, weak and weak.

"Ahh Lu Tingnan was excited, he woke himself up, jumped up from the stool, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Guo Yan wake up, "Pot, you, you finally woke up." ”

Guo Yan asked weakly, "What happened?" How am I here? ”

Lu Tingnan rubbed his sour eyes, "You have been in a coma for two days, and that night, something very bad happened......

Guo Yan's expression was puzzled, and his thoughts were scattered, "That night...... I just remember that I seemed to be entangled in something, and I couldn't move, and then, then I don't remember anything, what happened? ”

Lu Tingnan pursed his lips and told everything that night.

"What are you talking about, my brother is seriously injured!"

When Guo Yan heard that Yang Pei was seriously injured, his pale cheeks were full of eager expressions, and he even wanted to get up to see Yang Pei.

Lu Tingnan hurriedly said: "However, but your brother is fine, he woke up yesterday morning, and the doctor said that he will be fine after recuperating for a while." ”

"......" Guo Yan quieted down, "Can you talk together next time, I can't stand it like this!" ”

Lu Tingnan smiled awkwardly.

Guo Yan drank saliva to calm down and asked, "So, what attacked me that night wasn't a ghost?" ”

"Hmm."

"What's that?"

Lu Tingnan took out a thick book from his backpack, flipped it to the place where the bookmark was clipped, and handed it to Guo Yan on the bed.

Guo Yan looked at the contents of the book, frowned and said, "Ott?? ”

"Hmm." Lu Tingnan said, "The one who attacked you was the Otter?, this is a kind of monster in myths and legends, they look like people, they can be invisible, and they like to eat human brains. Wang Feifei, who died before, and Liu Jin were all eaten by it. ”

Guo Yan was puzzled: "But, how do you know it's a deer?" Done? ”

Lu Tingnan took out his mobile phone, flipped out the photos in the album, and handed them to Guo Yan, "This is the night before yesterday?" When it appeared, I put aside the camera to take the picture. ”

Guo Yan stared at the photo, which was a street with two people, one of whom was Guo Yan himself, and the other, wearing an ordinary black jacket, with a face twisted to the point of frightening, and many flesh-colored tentacles sticking out of his mouth wrapped Guo Yan's entire head.

Staring at the photo, Guo Yan had palpitations.

Lu Tingnan said: "Except for this photo, the other deceased are all in line with the deer? So it can be determined that it was the Otter who attacked you. ”

Guo Yan turned off his mobile phone and didn't look at it again, this photo is really uncomfortable, especially the victim is himself.

"This ...... Something, dead? ”

Lu Tingnan shook his head, "No, it ran away, the situation was too chaotic at that time, Brother Pei and you were both injured, plus it will be invisible, no one knows where it went." What is certain, however, is that it should have left Tongzhou. ”

"How is that determined?"

Lu Tingnan said: "It has been disguised as a human before, so Brother Pei used the photo I took to check it, and found that it was a prison guard in the detention center before, and there was a photo of its ID when he was a prison guard on the back of the photo just now." ”

Guo Yan turned on his phone again, flipped the photo back, and saw a ID photo, the face in this photo was a little familiar.

"This man...... I think I've seen it. ”

"Seen?"

Guo Yan thought about it, and suddenly remembered that when he was released from prison before, the prison guard who took him out of prison was the person in the photo, he glared and said in surprise: "No wonder he asked me those questions when I left, it turned out to confirm whether I lived alone!" ”

Lu Tingnan was very curious, Guo Yan explained it to him, and he understood.

When the prison guard asked him at the time, he thought that the other party cared about him, but he didn't expect that the other party was asking these things for a purpose.

The corners of Guo Yan's mouth twitched, "No wonder the dead people are people who have just been released from prison not long ago, it turns out that this monster has been working in the detention center, and he should know all the people in the detention center, so he will choose those targets who live alone." However, since there is a record of the deer in your book? This kind of monster, why didn't you think of it before? ”

Lu Tingnan scratched his head, "I didn't know at the time, you told me at the time that there were brain-eating ghosts in the detention center, and then I thought that the one outside should also be a ghost, so I never thought of it." Later, when you were attacked, I found out that the problem was possible, and it occurred to me that it could be a deer. ”

Guo Yan couldn't cry or laugh, but he also knew that this matter was no wonder of Baozi, and anyone would think about it in this situation, especially under the condition of a serious lack of clues, it was difficult to clearly judge whether the attacker was a ghost or not.

What's more, the supernatural events that the two of them encountered before did not have this kind of thing, so they naturally judged according to their previous habits, ignoring the original way of thinking.

However, Guo Yan was still glad that Lu Tingnan could think of it in time, otherwise, he would probably have been lying in the morgue, right?

Lu Tingnan took back his mobile phone and said, "Brother Pei told me that a wanted warrant has been issued above, this Qiang?" It probably won't appear in the coming time. So, is this matter over? ”

Guo Yan looked at Lu Tingnan, glanced at the window of the ward, shook his head and said, "It's not over yet, although the monster has escaped, the situation in the detention center is not optimistic." ”

Lu Tingnan was stunned, "You mean, the ghosts in the detention center?" ”

Guo Yan nodded, "Well, the ghosts in the detention center kill four people every year, and this pattern has been going on for many years, if it continues like this...... You know this better than I do, you should understand. ”

Lu Tingnan thought for a while and said, "It should be ...... It's serious, if people are dead all the time, if their souls don't leave, there will be more and more ghosts. ”

Guo Yan said with a solemn face: "Yes, I don't want to see this happen, Tongzhou is already uneasy enough." ”

……

In the afternoon of the same day, after Guo Yan checked his body, he was sure that there was no major problem and was approved to be discharged from the hospital.

When he was discharged from the hospital, Guo Yan saw Dr. Gu who helped last time, and wanted to say hello, but Dr. Gu's face was lonely, he didn't see him at all, and left by himself.

Leaving the hospital and returning to the office, Guo Yan said, "Let's go to the detention center tonight." ”

"Uh, is it so urgent?"

"Do you have anything else?"

"No ......"

"Then go! Early settlement of good morning life. ”
