Chapter 294: There Is No Lake in the Mountains

When Bai Su said not far, he himself did not go far.

After all, there were villagers who looked like fish walking in the rain, and he had no plans to make a monster.

It's not that he can't beat him, but if there are a few people in the village for some reason, it will cause a commotion.

He could have avoided them, but there were too many "red monsters" scattered around the village, and if he avoided them all, he could only float in mid-air or walk from the rooftops of human habitation.

The black-haired young man who had not gone far was bathed in the rain, and he crouched on the roof of an unknown house, listening to the ticking of raindrops and bricks.

Stripped out the fish-eyed villagers and the subtle smell wafting in the wind and rain, the white noise of this rainy day is actually quite suitable for sleeping.

The black-haired young man squeezed a handful of water from the end of his hair, wiped his face casually, hooked his feet to the corner of the eaves, and hung upside down to the position of the window.

There was no road facing the outside of the road, and if he didn't make a noise, the patrolling fish-eyed villagers wouldn't come closer.

Modern human windows are not the ancient material that can be broken when poked, but for Bai Su, cutting the glass is also a matter of moving your fingers.

However, he didn't choose to cut a bowl in the window.

He didn't want the village to be noisy tomorrow because someone was missing, but because of the non-existent thief, he was being targeted by the villagers as the most suspicious outsider.

He's fine, but if humans are tied, won't there be no one to solve the mystery for him?

The black-haired young man who didn't want to take a shortcut and took a shortcut touched the window frame.

He pressed his fingertips to it, and after a few seconds, he grabbed the window with a force, and he opened it, and the heat poured out from within.

The curtain was lifted in a corner, and an eyeball sneaked in from behind.

The white line attached behind the eyeball was stretched as long as possible, as if patrolling territory, and the eyeball looked inside the room from above.

There were two people sleeping in the room, an adult female and a male child of five or six years old, who were supposed to be mother and child.

The two of them were covered with a thick quilt, and the electrical appliances in the corner of the room were slowly spitting warm air, and it was actually a little early to turn on the air conditioner at this time, but it was impossible to stand that some people were afraid of the cold and wanted to enjoy it in advance.

But that's not the reason why Bai Su stayed in this room.

He stayed because of the smell.

There were a few wisps of sweet, edible smell in the fishy smell of the rain pouring down, and Bai Su picked the nearest place to lean over.

The senses of Bai Su in the room, one large and one small, were similar to Gao Tianyi's round-faced classmates, specifically referring to the individual found in the hospital building.

can eat, anyway, it's not human.

Sniffing the delicious smell on the tip of his nose, the black-haired young man hung upside down and didn't look back, his palm turned back, allowing the black shadow coming out of the canopy to hit his palm.

Then the hand was retracted and pinched, and the black mud was caught, and after a futile struggle, its destination was Bai Su's mouth.

The black-haired youth retracted his eyes, helped the human close the window, and sat back down on top of the eaves.

He licked the tip of his teeth that still had the smell of food that he had just eaten, and his eyes jumped back and forth.

On the left is a dense wood, which looks very deep at night, and the place where the non-human mother and son live is on the edge of the village.

On the right is the village path, and the flickering flashlights are slowly moving from the door.

Where to go next? The brunette thought with some distress.

Just as he had been in a human yard thinking about whether or not to go out, he sat on the roof and drenched in the rain for a while, then jumped down.

The direction of the jump is towards the side of the woods, and it falls to the ground as lightly as a cat, and the adult body of less than 1.8 meters is so light that it seems to have no weight.

The black-haired youth stepped on the ground, and it could be said that he was floating there.

Not a single footprint was left on the muddy ground, and the man disappeared into the woods.

When Bai Su reappeared, he was standing on the side of the road.

The bright light of the sky sprinkled on him, taking away the few damp moments, but his hair was still wet, and his clothes would not be far from drying when the sun dried for a while.

There are a few grass clippings and mud spots in the shoes and trouser legs, and if you don't look closely, you won't be able to see the clues.

He pretended to be an early riser and chatted with the villagers passing by, and then returned to his accommodation.

All the above itinerary was summarized in Bai Su's mouth into just a few sentences, he didn't run far, just walked around the neighborhood where he lived.

"It's raining too much." The black-haired youth said, "I braved the rain for a while, and I could see a lot of lights looming in the village, all moving. ”

It is not difficult to guess that those are all villagers with flashlights, and Bai Su followed along, because the lights in the village were too dense, so he retreated.

After that, he lingered in the shade of a tree near the courtyard, hoping to see if the next villager would come over, but who expected that not only the villagers would not be able to come, but even the black silt would be lost.

- There are patrols in the village at night.

Humanity immediately came to this conclusion.

As for the other parts of Bai Su's statement, humans have reservations, such as the fact that they only stay at the edge of the village.

If they were all standing under the trees, the clothes would be so humid.

Humidity...... Speaking of which...... The bespectacled youth remembered something and gestured to his companion.

Bai Su's sitting posture with his head lazily propped up was slightly upright, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

In the next second, with a bad prediction, the inch-headed police officer received instructions from his companion, moved his wrist twice, and hooked his hand towards Bai Su.

"It's cold after raining for so long." The human male smiled as a nucleus, "Come on, come on, I'll help you boil water, go take a hot bath." ”

This house is good to live in, but the water heater is a little faulty.

Bai Su always felt that human beings didn't mean this, but he still stood up according to the other party's words.

Xia Chengyin, who said that he wanted to boil water for him, just quietly played with the water heater, and he didn't know where to press it, as if he had learned the craft with that Master Zhang, and soon the water heater was fiddled with.

"Okay, go in, remember to close the doors and windows, don't be like Qi Zhuyue yesterday."

The inch-headed police officer watched the black-haired young man walk in, making sure he could hear the sound of water, and after seeing the white mist rising from the glass window, the human turned around and left.

Back in the previous room, Xia Chengyin and Tang Nuo quickly communicated.

"Believe it?"

"It's credible, it's not lying."

"That's right...... But I think it's a little weird. ”

The inch-headed police officer fell into thinking and reminiscing, he rummaged through his memories, and asked his companion as if verifying, "Is he a ...... Bai Su Have you ever been judged to be lying? ”

Tang Nuo followed Xia Chengyin's meaning, it seemed to be the case.

He has been working as a lie detector since he first met Bai Su, and later he has been working as a lie detector several times due to supernatural events, and after Bai Su entered the special department part-time, he is still working as a lie detector every day.

There are times when people tell white lies.

On weekdays, during his work, Donno would occasionally receive feedback from his colleagues on innocuous little lies, which often stabbed him, and over time he got used to it.

Now that he was pointed out by Xia Chengyin, he turned over the feedback of the ability that is ignored every day.

The past cannot be traced, because it is too far away, and it is more convenient to compare the present.

Rao is a hangerlang who lied when chatting with the people in the village after entering the village, not to mention that they came in with a false identity.

Their itinerary is full of lies.

The bespectacled young man was silent for a moment, and then said, "Bai Su has been ...... since he entered the village", is what he said necessarily a lie?

The word Caifeng is very ambiguous, maybe Bai Su really thinks this in his heart?

For everything last night about the whole fish feast...... Humans think that according to what they know about Bai Su, they may be saying what they are talking from their hearts.

He genuinely thought that yesterday's meal was delicious.

After thinking about it like this, Bai Su's only story about traveling in the rain at night was more suspicious, but they were sleeping and couldn't confirm those things.

After thinking about it, the answer is that there is no conclusion.

"That-" Gao Tianyi, who was listening to the exchange between the two on the side, interjected, "For the time being, I think it's all the truth, anyway, the video must be true." ”

The technical requirements of counterfeiting are too high and there is no point in making sense.

The young man raised his hand: "Isn't it time to discuss our dreams?" ”

He had a basket of things to say, and he was suffocating him.

……

The black-haired youth exhaled melancholy under the hot water.

Humans are really hard to deal with.

The monster didn't take off his clothes, just squatted in the bathroom, crossed his knees and thought, he really didn't have a few words of truth about humans.

I had expected that Donno's polygraph-like ability would arouse the suspicion of humans, but I didn't expect it to be exposed as soon as I entered the village.

Who knew that human beings were capable of such ...... Weak.

The black-haired young man sighed again, and the temperature of the splash pouring from his head gradually cooled, and it seemed that the water heater outside was malfunctioning again.

I didn't call the humans to come and fix it, and the monster wouldn't catch a cold anyway.

Whether it is rainwater or hot water, at most the external skin will produce a little change.

Even if it's a lava bubble - well, that's less likely.

Bai Su brushed the hair covering his eyes twice, and after brushing it away, he stood up, deciding to pay attention to his communication with humans in the future.

Truth and falsehood, as long as it is not proven.

The naked skin was exposed to cold water, and the completely soaked clothes were taken off and thrown aside, and according to the humans, they wanted to study whether the rain was contaminated.

But after soaking in ordinary water...... The black-haired youth blinked, pretended nothing had happened, and buttoned up the basket.

The water connected to the left and right villages is not ordinary tap water, but it is not as abrupt as rain.

After turning off the faucet, he wiped himself with a towel resting on the table next to him, and pressed a few mischievous exposed eyeballs in the process.

In any case, the human body in the mirror crawling all over the eyeballs in the inappropriate area is a harmful scene, but fortunately no one sees it in the bathroom.

Perhaps because he felt that the drying efficiency was too slow, the human appearance used by the black-haired young man melted like water, and the whole person transformed into a white mold-like whole.

The blank body trembled slightly, and the honeycomb-shaped hole was about to bulge out, and the appearance belonging to the "white su" was covered in the next moment.

The reappeared black-haired youth winked in the mirror, opened his mouth again, and looked at the distribution of his teeth, making sure that none of them were crooked.

In the end, Bai Su changed into a change of clothes and went to the humans with a refreshing look.

When he walked into the room, he happened to see Gao Tianyi slapping the table and stepping on the table.

The position was a bit uncomfortable for the young man's height, so he jumped into a chair and then stepped on the table.

"So—we're going to go to that lake!" Gao Tianyi said loudly, "That lake must be the key clue." ”

"Lake, what lake?" Later, Bai Su didn't hear the first half of the story.

"That's ......" Qi Zhuyue's complexion recovered a lot, "We had a dream last night." ”

Qi Zhuyue was in the same dream as Tang Nuo and Gao Tianyi.

Bai Su nodded, he had heard of this when he first came back, but then humans began to watch the videos he took, and the topic of dreams was put on hold for the time being.

Now that the topic is opening again, Qi Zhuyue and Tang Nuo can't get out of the courtyard gate of their dreams, so they explore the house and find a huge fish tank in the room where the miscellaneous items are placed.

Humans have just confirmed, although there is no glass plate splicing the fish tank in the utility room in reality, there are indeed traces of disassembly on the door frame.

And Gao Tianyi - in the dream with the identity of the young Wen Tao - said his experience after following the Wen Tao friends in the dream out.

From the path leading to the woods in the village to the lake, the time difference of nearly twenty years should have made the marks on the trees unrecognizable.

But it doesn't matter, Gao Tianyi claimed that he had written down the path from the village, and as long as the structure of the village did not change much, he could-

"There's definitely change." Xia Chengyin interrupted Gao Tianyi's words, and the table in front of them collected the food and spread out a map, "According to your last description, the village must have experienced a flash flood that almost destroyed the village. ”

In addition to the map, the two cropped newspapers were also set aside.

Calculate the age of Wen Tao's little friend in the dream, and the time seems to be right.

"As for the ...... you glimpsed in the lake Maybe that's what we're looking for. ”

Gao Tianyi nodded approvingly, it was in vain that he followed in his dream in a skirt, and dived into the lake that was so sinking that it could drown people, and finally obtained useful information.

The other three also began to discuss, and Xia Chengyin, the only one who had not dreamed, was also thinking, when it was a little brighter, the people in the village would get up and move, and they could go and find their way.

Look for the way to that lake.

"I said." Bai Su, who was looking down to study the map, pointed to one place, and suddenly interrupted the discussion of the human beings, and also attracted the attention of the human beings, "There is no lake in the mountains. ”

"Huh?"

"Can't you see it?" Bai Su asked curiously, once again wondering what he saw from the perspective of a human being.

They looked through the map many times on the way here, and even marked the different places with the latest online map.

Now, the black-haired young man picked up his pen and drew a circle around the village, and tapped the circle with the tip of the pen: "In such a large area, there is no lake at all. ”

"At least not on this map."

"Do you think...... Is there a lake here? ”
