Gao Yuan, male, 40 years old, 1.92 meters tall, as strong as a wall.

In terms of occupation, I used to be a small trader selling pancakes and fruits in a cart, then I became a wanted criminal, and now I am returning to my old business.

Unlike before, he is now affiliated with a breakfast shop.

You don't have to push your own cart.

In return, Takahara intends to give the couple strength before leaving.

And before that, an ordinary high school student managed to get his attention.

It's unusual for this guy, after eating the fruit of his pancakes, to produce no smell.

The pancake fruit is topped, and when you eat it, it will produce a smell that can only be smelled in the plateau.

The smell itself is not harmful to the person itself, it is like a mark.

It makes it easy for Gao Yuan to distinguish those people, and at the same time feel at ease—there are those smells around him, as if he is staying in his own territory.

It's a psychological comfort, but it's important for the plateau.

It was one of the means by which he kept his considerable sanity.

But Xia Yanzhen didn't produce a smell, and after a few times and even today, it was still the case, so the plateau had to take a look.

Although Xia Yanzhen didn't produce the smell that Gao Yuan wanted, he definitely had his own taste.

Takahara remembered the smell and touched it with a very keen sense of smell.

He wanted to see what secrets this little imp was hiding.

The floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony were open, making it easy to access the plateau, and the darkness had no effect on his vision.

Its eyes glowed eerily green in the darkness from time to time, like those of a feline.

Entering the house, the barefoot plateau walked silently.

His gaze quickly swept over the living room and the like, and then turned his gaze to the bedroom where Xia Yanzhen slept.

Walking over and pressing the doorknob, there was a crisp clatter.

The doorknob of Xia Yanzhen's door is not very easy to use, and it will make such a sound when pressed.

It's also enough to wake up Xia Yanzhen who is sleeping - under normal circumstances.

But today is not a normal situation, because of the injury, Xia Yanzhen slept extremely deeply, and was not awakened by this sound.

Gao Yuan's movements paused, and he entered the bedroom after making sure that the noise just now did not wake up the people inside.

"Bloody ......"

With a twitch of his nose twice, Gao Yuan smelled the smell of blood, which was very obvious to him.

Not from this high school student, but from this room.

This high school student did have some smell of blood on his body, but it was very light, and Gao Yuan had smelled this bit of blood in the morning.

Now the smell of blood in the room is different, not light, very strong.

This heaviness does not mean that there is a lot of fresh blood in the room, giving the feeling of the plateau, but more of a stale feeling.

It was as if the smell of a pool of blood that had been covered for hundreds of years had finally regained its scent.

Moreover, the smell of blood made Gao Yuan feel uncomfortable, and it irritated his olfactory nerves a little.

It is different from the taste of human blood, which is a fragrance to the plateau, close to the smell of food.

"Damn, how did you think of this again."

Plateau shook his head vigorously.

Stimulated by the strong and stale smell of blood in the room, his mind was a little off, and he immediately retracted his thoughts after realizing this.

There are some things that bring not only power, but also madness.

If it weren't for that, Takahara didn't think he would have become a wanted criminal.

Standing still for a full five seconds, Takahara made sure that his mind was stabilized and walked forward.

He could smell the blood, coming from underneath the bed.

What's hidden under the bed? What is this high school student hiding?

Gao Yuan didn't immediately bend down to go under the bed, but stood on the side of the bed and looked at Xia Yanzhen, trying to find a clue from that calm and handsome face.

But Xia Yanzhen just fell asleep quietly, breathing steadily.

If Gao Yuan suddenly killed at this time, it would wake up Xia Yanzhen.

And Gao Yuan didn't do this, he didn't want to die again, so Gao Yuan looked away after confirming that Xia Yanzhen was indeed sleeping deeply.

He leaned down and looked at the bottom of the bed.

Sword!

Burning blood was seen on the plateau where he was able to see in the dark.

Why does a sword emit such a strong smell of blood?

Confused, Takahara reached out and touched the burning blood.

At this moment, the smell of blood turned into a tide, overwhelming the world, engulfing the world of the plateau.

Along with them came terrible cries of pain.

It's not the cries of humans, it's the roars of beasts, inhuman monsters when they are suffering and are close to death.

It's so similar to what I used to scream.

Delusion, no, not actually an illusion, Takahara felt that he did hear the roar of his own kind.

So, the strings of reason snapped, and just as it had been at the beginning, Takahara fell into madness.

And unlike back then, this madness did not allow the plateau to kill and devour wantonly, and the instinctive emotion called fear suppressed the desire to kill and eat, and took over.

Like a frightened wild dog, Gao Yuan suddenly withdrew his hand, lay on the ground and jumped back.

The movement was so loud that his hands and feet made a clicking sound on the floor.

Takahara suddenly retreated to the door, then turned and ran.

The route of escape was exactly the same as the route he had come, Gao Yuan jumped to the balcony and jumped onto the air-conditioned outdoor unit on the fourth floor.

The whole person is like a nimble spider, jumping all the way to the ground, and then still running out on all fours.

The walls of the neighborhood obviously couldn't stop him.

Appearing under the street lamps of the road outside, the plateau crawled rapidly on all fours, and soon attracted the attention of the few people in the unclosed shops on the side of the road.

Didn't wait for the people to see what it was.

The fast-crawling plateau carried some of the commotion and exclamations into the distance, gradually disappearing.

In the room, Xia Yanzhen was still asleep.

Burning blood under the bed, motionless.

It seems that Xia Yan really avoided a disaster and was very lucky, but the really lucky person was not him.

Rather, it is a plateau.

If Gao Yuan is more presumptuous, he chooses to do it to Xia Yanzhen.

There is a high probability that Xia Yanzhen, who was awakened, instinctively smashed his head with a punch - it is unlikely that he dodged this punch, and then was quickly smashed by the second or third punch.

Now, at least I ran.

The next morning.

Xia Yan really woke up under the urging of the alarm clock.

After opening his eyes for a while, Xia Yan Zhen sat up and pressed the alarm ringtone of his mobile phone.

Stretching his waist, there was a crackling sound all over his body, Xia Yan really felt refreshed.

The tiredness and tingling of the body before falling asleep disappears.

He looked down at the wounds on his body and saw that they had healed, and some of the shallower wounds could not even be found with scars.

Some of the gauze was removed, and the wound had healed in the most serious places, and the sutures fell off on their own.

Leaves a shallow scar.

Xia Yanzhen pressed it, there was no pain, a day of eating and drinking, coupled with deep sleep, he had fully recovered.

"If you are injured in the future, if conditions allow, you can recover quickly...... Well? ”

Xia Yan really thought about it, and was about to get up.

He saw a large pile of messy, dirty footprints on the bedroom floor.

It was as if someone had once danced a frantic dance in his bedroom.

"Anomalous event, did I finally encounter it?" Xia Yanzhen was not flustered, lifted the light quilt, and observed it carefully.

This footprint was very large and wide, larger than Xia Yanzhen's foot.

Assuming that the person who left the footprints was a human, at least a creature of normal humanoid size, then he would have been a tall man.

Xia Yan couldn't help but think of the new chef at the breakfast shop.

"Could it be him?" With doubts, he looked at it carefully, and Xia Yanzhen also found the palm print, "Is it crawling?" ”

Walking out of the bedroom following the footprints and handprints, Xia Yanzhen saw the open floor-to-ceiling window.

Sure enough, someone came in.

He won't close the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony, which means that he won't close them to death, and he will close them to the width of his palm at night. Now it was pushed wider, and the closed screens were pushed open to both sides.

There is no doubt that someone broke into the house last night.

What are you doing in the room, Xia Yanzhen checked the bedroom, living room and other locations.

Burning blood lay under the bed decently, not finding anything missing, the other party left nothing but a bunch of footprints and handprints, and took nothing away.

Xia Yan really thought about it and took a mop to wipe off these marks.

Today's daily exercise, Xia Yanzhen sped up and increased his strength, and he could feel that the gears of his body began to bite and run after not moving for a long time.

This feeling of being running all over the body, and the feeling of forging ahead was something that had appeared in the past, and then slowly weakened, and finally disappeared.

If you are driving, it is to step on the accelerator once, not to the end, to step on it and not to the end, as long as the legs are long enough, you can keep stepping down.

After a few sets of exercises, Xia Yanzhen went downstairs and started jogging—this time it would be faster than before.

When it was over, he went to the breakfast shop.

The breakfast shop is open every day, but there is no tall chef in the open and transparent back kitchen.

Xia Yanzhen asked.

The proprietress said she didn't know why she didn't come today, and no one answered the phone, and as for where she lived - they really didn't know where the chef lived.

"Did you run away?" After thinking about it, Xia Yanzhen didn't ask much and ordered a double breakfast.

Soon, the breakfast shop began to be lively, and the words of some diners also reached Xia Yanzhen's ears.

In the second half of last night, a strange thing happened around here.

Someone saw a monster running around the street, what kind of monster exactly. I don't know, some say worms, some say beasts, and some say people.

There was also a little commotion in the back, and someone called the police.

I don't know if it's true or not, everyone didn't take it to heart, and they just had a good time after dinner.

In Xia Yanzhen's place, to connect things together, the cook, the "person" who sneaked into his house last night, and the monster in everyone's mouth.

There must be a connection, is it a "Trinity", or something else?

Xia Yanzhen pondered, and then found with some embarrassment that his pursuit seemed to end here.

Until a few days ago, he was just an ordinary sophomore in high school, with better grades, better looks, and more strength.

Experiencing a dream copy in a real sense does not mean that Xia Yanzhen has been reborn all of a sudden and has become omnipotent.

Except for looking for witnesses in the vicinity and constantly inquiring, he couldn't think of any other way to continue to investigate the matter for a while.

But he's just a high school student, and it's obviously unreasonable to do something like this all of a sudden.

It's not Sakurajima Country, it's a mess of clubs and supernatural students.

Even the excuse of "I'm interested in urban legends and supernatural events, so I've been inquiring" would be weird.

Tao E and Xia Yanzhen said that this world is definitely far from being as simple and peaceful as they see on the surface.

There was no need for him to emphasize this, after experiencing the dream copy, Xia Yanzhen himself knew it.

Then, until there is enough strength to protect oneself, it is essential to keep a low profile and concealment.

Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly become kings.

It can be used not only for world domination, but also for itself.
