A group of four people entered the house one after another, and the wooden house, which was already a little cramped, seemed a little crowded. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoSolgar pulled over a recliner that looked like it was some years old and slowly sat down on the armrest. Qin Ran looked around, paced to the side of the recliner with his own thoughts, and stood lazily against Solgar's chair. Zhang Zhensan and Liang Bolun sat straight on Solga's bed, and the wooden bed instantly emitted a "crunch" sound of wood colliding with wood.

"You boys, be careful, don't collapse my bed. Solga touched his gray beard and laughed humorously. He turned his head and said to Qin Ran: "You also take a stool and sit in front of me, don't keep dangling behind me." ”

Hearing this, Qin Ran had no choice but to pull a small stool next to him and sit in front of Solga step by step. "It's okay now, you're old, you can talk. Qin Ran shrugged his shoulders, frowned slightly, and looked at Solgar, who was lying in front of him, at ease.

"You're in a hurry, haha. Solga shook his head helplessly, he really loved and hated Qin Ran.

Liang Bolun sat on the wooden bed, a little uncomfortable, after all, Lao Suo's bed did not make a mattress, but a thick layer of straw was laid on the surface of the bed, which was also mixed with some petals of the golden flower, and a tarpaulin was laid on the top, which constituted the whole of Solga's bed.

Zhang Zhensan and Liang Bolun sat on it, and they felt panicked in their butts. Squirming constantly, trying to find a relatively comfortable position.

"Alright, you two don't mess around in my bed, just sit honestly. Listening to the creaking sound of the bed, Solga was a little worried, afraid that in the next moment, his bed would collapse in half.

"Okay, okay, don't sell it anymore, let's talk about it quickly. Zhang Zhensan gently patted Liang Bolun, who was squirming next to him, with his hand, and then showed sincere eyes and stared at Solgar tightly.

"Well, this time, let's start with the Shadow Eater and the Shadow Realm. ”

"Shadow Eater?!Shadow Realm?!" Several people instantly became a little excited when they heard such a novel word, as if a new door was about to open.

"Well, let's talk about the Alien Realm first. Solgar's tone was slightly serious, and he glanced at the young people in front of him, as if he had returned to the green era before.

"The Shadow Realm is another world that exists parallel to our world. Solgar said this, reaching out and picking up a teacup, which contained tea leaves, but did not add water. Solga frowned slightly, and the hand holding the teacup gradually put it down again. "Qin Ran, go, add me some water. ”

Seeing this, Qin Ran hurriedly got up, walked closer, picked up the teacup without water, came to the kettle next to it, and carefully lifted it, as the boiling water washed down towards the teacup, the fragrance of tea filled the whole room in an instant.

Qin Ran held the somewhat hot teacup, slowly walked in front of Solga, and respectfully handed over the tea in his hand. "Please use it slowly!" is like a polite and polite old-fashioned boy.

"Hmm. Solga took the tea, skillfully picked up the teacup with one hand, and held the lid of the cup in the other, slowly and leisurely plucked the tea leaves floating on the surface, exhaled, Solga gently blew into the teacup, and blew all the tea fragrance into the noses of Zhang Zhensan and Liang Bolun in front of him. Unhurried, Solga first tested the temperature of the water with his lips, and then flicked the tea leaves in front of him with the lid of the cup, his hand tilted slightly, and made a slight sound, and took a sip of slightly hot tea. Then I closed my eyes and looked like I was enjoying it.

"Suo Lao, it's time for you to continue. Zhang Zhensan, who was sitting on the bed, watched Solga sipping tea slowly, feeling a little impatient, after all, there are still so many things that have not been clarified, and now is not the time to slow down.

"Hmm. Solga slowly opened his eyes and looked at the people in front of him, "Actually, I don't know much about the Alien Realm, after all, I haven't really been there. Just a little bit of it. Looking at the few young people with disappointed expressions, Solga paused and said slowly: "However, there is one thing that I know very well. ”

"What?"

"That is, in the Shadow Realm, the shadow is equivalent to a second life-like existence. ”

"Second life?" Hearing this word, Qin Ran didn't feel strange in his heart, after all, in his eyes, his current shadow was like a life.

"Yes. In the Shadow Realm, there are many tribes such as Shadow Tamers, Shadow Eaters, Shadow Raiders, Shadowless Ones, etc. ”

"Are you saying that shadow tamers also exist in the Shadow Realm?" Qin Ran heard this, and felt that he had an inexplicable connection with the Shadow Realm.

"Well, so to speak, the Raots have always been magical beings, and they seem to be the key to connecting the Shadow Realm with the real world. ”

"So, the Raut film-tamer is the key to the incident?" Liang Bolun, who had been pondering for a long time, finally spoke, as a police officer, extracting key sentences from the conversation is a manifestation of his professionalism.

"So to speak. However, I watched the shadow of Xiao Zhang's bite today, and I felt that the shadow eater was the key to the incident. ”

"Shadow Devourer?" a series of several strange terms, which made Zhang Zhensan a little confused.

"If the guess is correct, Xiao Zhang's shadow was bitten by the shadow eater ant before. Looking at Zhang Zhensan, who was stunned, Solga habitually stroked his beard and said categorically.

"That's right, I was bitten by a bunch of ants crawling out of the square bottle. Now thinking of the scene that night, Zhang Zhensan still has some lingering palpitations. The overwhelming array of ants was like an eternal nightmare, invading his brain.

"These ants are specially fed by the Shadow Eaters. In the Shadow Realm, no one else can see the Shadow Eater, and similarly, the Shadow Eater can't see people of other races, but the Shadow Eater must survive by eating other people's shadows, so their tribe feeds this strange ant, and all the shadows that have been bitten by ants will be exposed to the Shadow Eater. This is also the key to the survival of the Shadow Eater. ”

The tea in his hand had slowly begun to cool, so Solgar picked it up, took a sip into his mouth, and then let the fragrance of tea spread wantonly in his mouth.

"Speaking of the Shadow Eaters, we have to talk about the Gary. Solga narrowed his eyes slightly, and took a deep breath, as if trying to remember the past. "The people of the Geri are very distinctive, because their skin is different from the average person, their skin is gray,"

"Gray?" When Zhang Zhensan and Liang Bolun heard this, they instantly became alert, and suddenly remembered the middle-aged woman who broke into their store that night.

Seeing the surprised expressions of the two, Solga didn't think much about it, paused slightly, put his feet on the ground, and with a slight force, the chaise longue slowly shook, and Solga lay comfortably on the chair, showing that he was enjoying it, and then moved his hand from his beard to the armrest of the chaise longue, and continued to speak.

"As I said before, none of the tribes can see the existence of the Shadow Eaters, except for the Gary Clan. ”

"No wonder, that woman kept shouting nonsense that night... Zhang Zhensan recalled what happened that night, and then listened to Solgar's words and understood what happened.

"What did you say?" Solgar, who vaguely heard Zhang Zhen's three mutters, stopped and asked in detail.

"Oh, no, nothing. Go on. I'm not going to interrupt you. Zhang Zhensan swallowed the words that were almost in his throat deeply, pretending that nothing had happened.

"Every time the Shadow Eater attacks someone who has been bitten by the Shadow Eater Ants, as long as there are Geri people nearby, they will alert the attacked person to help them avoid the Shadow Eater's attack, and over time, the conflict between the Shadow Eater and the Geri people will grow. ”

"So, the Shadow Eaters want to get rid of the Gery?" Liang Bolun, who was really uncomfortable to sit, had to stand up and paced by the bed. From time to time, he looked back at the wooden bed behind him, when he sat on it just now, he always felt that there was something on the cushion that kept wandering, and because of his face, Liang Bolun didn't say anything, so he could only silently stretch his face and endure it.

"The struggle between the Shadow Eaters and the Gary has always existed in the Shadow Realm, because the Gary people are kind-hearted and have helped so many people from other tribes, so it is not easy for the Shadow Eaters to destroy the Gary Clan. ”

Zhang Zhensan, who was sitting on the bed, finally felt the same as under the bed, immediately stood up, looked behind him with doubts, and then looked at the emotionally confident Solga, and couldn't help asking: "Lao Suo, is there something hidden under your bed?"

"Oh?" said Solgar, surprised. "Kiki, are you being funny again?" Solga stopped the rickety recliner and leaned against the edge of the chair, slowly stood up, walked to the side of the wooden bed, bent down with some difficulty, and looked under the bed. "Kiki, come out quickly!" Solga shouted with some anger.

Between the bed boards, there was a slight movement, and a little dust fell, and under the tarpaulin covered with straw, suddenly, something appeared, protruding the tarpaulin to the ground. Then, I saw the little bulge, moving underneath, sometimes to the bedside, sometimes to the middle, and then to disappear into the straw.

"What is this?" Zhang Zhensan, who was very close to the bed, jumped up in an instant and hurriedly walked away from the bed. Extremely frightened, since being bitten by ants, Zhang Zhensan has become a little timid.

"Kiki, you naughty thing, see if I don't catch you!" Solga looked a little helpless at the sight of the little thing moving under the bed. Hunched over, he kept flapping on the bed, trying to control it.

"Hey, you're getting old, Kiki, and if you keep playing like this, you won't want to have dinner. After a series of movements just now, Solga looked a little tired and kept panting.

Hearing Solga say this, the little thing under the bed suddenly stopped moving around, and I saw a small static protrusion on the bed. A moment later, with a crisp sound, the tarpaulin on Solga's bed cracked a distinct opening.

A small furry head emerged from the straw pile. Its fur growth is like a continuous upward vortex, and there is a pair of huge ears next to its head, which hangs directly on the bed, and its two eyes are also full of spirituality, staring directly at several people in front of it, and the eyeballs keep moving up and down in the eye sockets. In contrast, its small small nose is full of joy, and it is not easy to notice that it has a nose on its face without noticing.

The little fellow glanced at Solgar, whose face was a little solemn, hesitated a little, and immediately jumped out of the straw pile, through the hole that had been pierced by its head, and jumped on Solgar's body at once, rubbing Solgar's face with its little furry head, and then staring at him pitifully with those watery eyes, as if begging for forgiveness.

After only a few seconds, Solga looked at the little guy in front of him, and instantly stroked its head with a smile, and the big tail behind him kept sweeping Solga's legs.

"What is this?" Qin Ran looked at it for a long time, feeling like a monkey and a bit like a rabbit, as if combining the characteristics of many animals, it seemed very strange.

"It's an eared fox. It is a spiritual creature in this Hidden Dragon Mountain. Solga gently pushed the eared fox on his body, and his tone was full of love, "Let's go, let's play while we go." Don't come here and mess with it again. The eared fox seemed to understand Solgar's words, so he lingered on Solgar's body for a while, then aimed at the window next to him, swished, jumped out, and disappeared in an instant in the lush gold flowers in the back mountain.

"Hehehe, it's rescued from the water when I went into the mountains once, I took it home, took good care of it, and when it was fully recovered, it didn't want to leave me, sometimes it jumped in the forest, sometimes it hid in a corner of my house, and it was naughty. As he spoke, Solgar's face was full of smiles, and it was clear that he had a deep affection for this eared fox. "Last time, when you came, it happened to be in the woods, so you didn't see it. I'm scared of you, it's really the old man's. ”

Looking at Zhang Zhensan and Liang Bolun, who were a little panicked just now, Solga was very embarrassed and took the initiative to accompany him.

"Suo Lao is really polite, such a lovely guy, where did he come from. However, now I can finally sit down properly. Liang Bolun smiled, leaned on the side of the bed, and sat down again.

"Come, Elder Suo, you can continue to talk about the Gary tribe, I am just hearing about it. Qin Ran walked up to Solgar and helped him directly to the recliner, "Come on, come on, say quickly." Qin Ran helped him rock the recliner while staring at him directly.

"Where did you just go?" Solga scratched his head, trying to remember.

"The Shadow Eaters are going to get rid of the Gary. Qin Ran replied a little impatiently.

"Oh, yes, yes, hey, I'm still old, and my memory is not good. Solga stretched out his wrinkled hand and sighed at the power of the years. "The presence of the Gary has always been a threat to the Shadow Eaters. So, at the first opportunity, they were killed, and in the end, after years of slaughter, only two Geri people remained. ”

"Two?" Zhang Zhensan and Liang Bolun glanced at each other, as if they understood a little.

"Well, the remaining two people, I don't know how, escaped to the world where we exist. And then... At this point, Solga stopped, and did not speak for a long time, but remained there in a daze.

"Then what's wrong?" Every time at this time, Qin Ran was like a hundred claws scratching his heart, he was very uncomfortable, and he couldn't wait to open Solgar's mouth.

"I don't know what happened next. Solga sighed softly and waved his hand helplessly.

"Qin Ran, what's the matter, didn't I already tell you everything that happened?" Hearing this, Liang Bolun and Zhang Zhensan already understood the identities of those two people that night, and naturally connected with what Solga said.

"I see?" Qin Ran thought for a moment when he heard this, "Could it be that you met someone from the Geli clan that night?"

"Exactly, otherwise there would be so many gray-skinned people. Zhang Zhensan felt a little funny when he saw Qin Ran's slightly exaggerated expression.

"What's going on?" Hearing what a few young men said, it was time for Solga to make a mistake this time.

"That's right. Zhang Zhensan leaned to Solga's side and told Solga in detail how he met a middle-aged woman asking for help in the antique store that night, how he saw a huge paw print on several people, and then disappeared out of thin air.

After Solga listened, he put his head on the pillow with his hands, his eyes suddenly lit up, he sat up, and looked at Zhang Zhensan seriously, "So, the streamer bottle is still in your store?"

"Probably so. Thinking of Qi Tianying trying his best to imprison himself in the ward, Zhang Zhensan's tone seemed very unfirm, and he didn't know what the situation was on the other side of the forest. Woods. By the way, it's time to inform the woods.

Zhang Zhensan slapped his head suddenly, he was really careless, he had been out for so long, and he hadn't come to inform Lin Zi yet.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhensan took out the mobile phone in his bag and dialed Lin Zi's mobile phone.

Seeing that Zhang Zhensan's expression was a little nervous on the phone, Solga didn't say much, just looked at him quietly on the side.

"Hey, brother, are you better!" Lin Zi's voice rang on the other end of the phone, and his tone was full of concern.

Hearing Lin Zi's voice, Zhang Zhensan's hanging heart let go of most of it.

"I'm fine, and when I got to the hospital, I got better with some fluids. Zhang Zhensan paused, "What about you?"

A rhetorical question made Lin Hui a little inexplicable.

"I'm fine, it's just that I knelt a few times in the game today, which affected my mood a little, but knowing that you're okay, my mood is much better. ”

"Has anyone been here tonight?" asked Zhang Zhensan a little nervously.

"Hmm. Lin Zi hesitated for a moment, and then said to Zhang Zhensan: "It's coming, and it's a good thing!" Speaking of this, Lin Zi seemed a little excited, eager to dance.

"What's going on?" Zhang Zhensan faintly felt bad.

"A group of reporters came today, saying that they wanted to interview you and help us publicize the antique store. Do you think that's a good thing?"

"Oh, there's such a thing? Didn't the police come?"

"Policeman, yes, it's Officer Yu who came with the reporter. I told him you were hospitalized and told him to come back in a few days. ”

"And then he's gone?"

"Well, let's go. Seeing that you were not there, I took the reporter and left, saying that I would come back in a few days. ”

Zhang Zhensan didn't know why he did this for a while, and after thinking about it for a while, he could only instruct Lin Hui: "You pay attention to the situation in the store these days, I may come back in two days, and don't let anyone approach the safe in my inner room, do you hear?" ”

hung up the phone, Zhang Zhensan was always relieved, feeling that there was always someone watching him behind his back.

"How is it over there?" Qin Ran and Liang Bolun leaned over at the same time. Also, Zhang Zhensan was in a coma like that before, who would have thought of calling Lin Zi?

"There is nothing special for the time being, it seems that we need to pay attention to Qi Tianying's next plan. When he said this, Zhang Zhensan still seemed to have palpitations and frowned slightly.

On the other end, Yu Mu held the monitor and reported to Qi Tianying: "Director, what should I do, to catch or not to catch?"

Qi Tianying, who also heard the conversation between Zhang Zhensan and Lin Hui just now, smiled secretly, and his tone was a little contemptuous, "Don't worry, they can find more useful things for us." ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand, beckoned all the people around him out, left him alone, took out his mobile phone, and dialed Qi Tianming's phone number.
