In the hazy moonlight, the door of the Zhao family's house was locked. On the wall at the door, a sign can be seen vaguely, which reads "Preservation of Architectural Cultural Heritage", which shows that this old mansion is indeed some years old. However, now that the building is empty, it has become a bit deserted, and weeds have grown on both sides of the door.

Although it was rated as "cultural heritage preservation", there were no special personnel stationed here, and my cousin said that according to the relevant cultural policies of our province, the level of this house has not yet reached the level of sending special personnel to take care of it.

There are two fist-sized locks on the door. Of course, this is not difficult for Wang Xiaolei, not to mention a general lock like this, even if it is a more advanced lock, it is not a problem for Wang Xiaolei. Sister Li shone it with a flashlight, only to see Wang Xiaolei take out something like a key mold from her bag, and with a slight poke, the lock was opened.

Although this Wang Xiaolei makes me feel very uncomfortable, I have to admit that so far, his appearance has not disappointed us, and he is the special forces we imagined. Although I didn't say it, Sister Li and I both felt in our hearts that because of Wang Xiaolei's participation, our "expedition" operation had a backbone and a sense of security.

When we opened the door and tiptoed to the wall as much as possible to walk into the house, Wang Xiaolei asked us to put on mask-like gas masks, and after extinguishing the flashlight, we listened in place for a few minutes to make our eyes adjust to the dark light. Because of the blockage of the mountains, the moonlight could no longer shine into the courtyard.

In order to avoid the attack of that monster, Wang Xiaolei specially gave each of us a piece of soap before coming, and instructed me and Sister Li to use this small soap to take a bath before coming here, and the clothes we wore tonight should also be washed in water with this soap bubble.

It turned out that Wang Xiaolei gave us odorless soap, which was used to eliminate the smell of shower gel and laundry on our bodies. Because in some specific circumstances, the smell of shower gel on the body and laundry detergent on clothes can lead to death, Wang Xiaolei also specially talked about one thing he personally experienced:

One night, he and his two comrades-in-arms were discovered by the other party when they were investigating the whereabouts of a big drug lord in a neighboring country, so they were tracked by more than 20 drug traffickers with loaded guns. The mountains are high, the forests are dense, the grass is deep, and it is still at night, in such a large area, it is not easy to catch the three of them with the search of more than 20 people alone, but the terrible thing is that these people are still holding a tracking dog.

Wang Xiaolei lay in a hidden place, used the miniature telescope he carried with him, and took a closer look at the tracking dog in the afterglow of the flashlight of the person who was tracking them, and his heart tightened: it was a golden retriever roving dog!

Not all dogs are suitable for tracking dogs, excellent tracking dogs often have vitality, perseverance, strong, brave, particularly developed sense of smell, mental concentration, courage and other characteristics, and these characteristics Golden Retriever Touring Dog have, this kind of dog after rigorous training, will have amazing search ability and tracking ability.

But even so, Wang Xiaolei still has hope. Although the human body can emit odors, but in this vast mountain forest, it is not easy to capture and identify this smell, and he insists on washing clothes and bathing with odorless soap every day, so there is no general smell of bath gel and washing clothes on his body, because those smells are very strong for tracking dogs with a particularly sensitive sense of smell. He was worried about the two comrades-in-arms, because they usually did not strictly follow the relevant rules of action to use this odorless soap, but used the general bath and laundry.

If the tracking dog is specially trained, it will be easy for them to find the smell of chemicals such as bath rut in this natural environment. At that time, the two comrades-in-arms will be easily found by it. Sure enough, as Wang Xiaolei expected, the two comrades-in-arms were "sniffed" out by the tracking dog one after another, and Wang Xiaolei survived.

These two comrades-in-arms who were "caught" by the tracking dogs were beaten to death with sticks on the spot by those cruel drug traffickers, which is a common killing method used by drug traffickers.

Since then, this matter has been deeply imprinted in Wang Xiaolei's mind.

For this operation, Wang Xiaolei judged that the monster may have a high IQ according to our description, and may also have an amazing sense of smell, because he is both like a human and a sheep, so both characteristics may be present. Therefore, once you are pursued by that monster, if you want to hide from being discovered, it is best to pay attention to the smell.

When we quietly walked inside, Sister Li suddenly seemed to remember something, took off the gas mask on her mouth, and whispered: "Xiao Lei, it seems that the smell of shower gel on your body is very strong, don't you use odorless soap?" ”

Wang Xiaolei also took off the gas mask and explained with a smile: "Yes, I'm useless, I'm going to be a bait, use these smells to lure that monster out, and in case it chases, it must track me first, because the sheep's eyesight is not very good, even in the daytime it doesn't see far away, therefore, I think this monster should mainly rely on the sense of smell to explore the surrounding environment."

Sister Li and I both felt that although I still ate his "vinegar", at this special moment, I couldn't help but take off the gas mask and said sincerely: "Then you have to be more careful!" ”

Wang Xiaolei nodded at us: "Don't worry, I am a person who has experienced life and death, I have seen countless dangers, today is nothing, Xiao Ming, if that monster attacks me for a while, you and Sister Li must not come over to help, because when you help, you will often help more and more, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Sister Li and I nodded vigorously, a breeze blew, and suddenly, in this wind, I smelled a familiar fishy smell, which was the smell of the monster that I and Zhang Butcher were in the valley, although the smell was still very light, but it was enough to make me feel extremely uncomfortable, that smell, it should be the most unpleasant smell in the world. I hurriedly exclaimed in a low voice: "Smell it, it's the fishy smell of that monster, but it should be quite far away, or the three of us will be paralyzed."

The two of them obviously smelled it too, and Wang Xiaolei hurriedly said: "Quickly bring a gas mask!" "The three of us hurriedly put on our masks, and we all turned them up tightly. At the critical moment, the mask must not drop the chain, otherwise it will be dead.

The smell came from the main backyard, and the backyard was five hundred meters away from this gate. In the dark, the three of us went to the backyard, Wang Xiaolei pulled out the military dagger, and I also drew the knife in my hand. I felt my heart pounding, even my temples jumping.

To be honest, it didn't feel good to put on a gas mask, a little bit of breath-holding, albeit very slightly. Listening to Wang Xiaolei, this gas mask has the highest level of protection compared with the general one. The higher the level of protection, the more comparatively speaking, the more affected the ventilation capacity will be. However, as long as you don't engage in weight activities, panting is completely tolerable. Sure enough, after wearing this gas mask, I couldn't smell anything except for the faint smell of plastic from the gas mask itself.

At the back of the house, there is a mountain right next to it. And the two houses next to the pool are completely built against the mountain, that is, these two houses are built on two flat boulders extending from the mountain. According to my cousin, the part-time worker was killed in one of the rooms. Based on this, we guess that it is most likely the place where the monster is infested. So, according to our plan, we will go to this house in the back house first.

In the process of walking inside, Wang Xiaolei took out a watch-sized thing from his pocket and made a gesture, which meant that Sister Li and I would both take a look. Sister Li and I leaned over to see what he was doing, only to see that on the dial of the watch-like thing in his hand, all the scales, words and hands were made of fluorescent. Eight small characters glow faintly and can be clearly identified as "portable odor sensor".

It turns out that this thing detects the strength of the smell, which is so useful! As soon as we put on this high-protection gas mask, we can't smell anything, we can't sense the strength of the smell at all, and we can't take off the mask and smell it directly with our nose, so this kind of instrument is too important.

I don't know exactly what the numbers and hands on the dial represent, but I can probably understand the area where the hands point and the strength of the smell. As we walked into the backyard, we watched as the pointer on the odor sensor showed that the smell was getting stronger! That's right, that monster should be in the backyard! And when we got to the vicinity of the two houses, the hands had stopped at the maximum, and when we got closer to the houses, the hands moved out of the scale as if they were about to burst. It can be seen how strong that kind of smell can be, which is really terrible.

Could it be that the monster is in this house? I'm more nervous. In the darkness, we slowly approached the house, because the house was relatively high, and it took a few steps to reach the door and window. Before we walked under the window, I heard a strange sound from the inside, very similar to the kind of moaning of a woman when she was zuo-ai, not only moaning, but also a clear wheezing sound, suddenly, I had a very strange, time-space transition like a moment back to the time when I was a teenager, with a few small people in the village, sneaking to the "listening room" at night, whenever there is a newlywed couple, we will touch the root of the window in the middle of the night, listen to the newlywed men and women inside, The heart-warming movements.

I looked at Sister Li and Wang Xiaolei next to me, and tried to pull my thoughts back, thinking in my heart in great surprise, in this situation, why is there such a sound in the house?
