"This son of a bitch is raised on purpose!" Feng Zhi's face was gloomy, and he took a mouthful of phlegm on the ground.

Everyone is clearly aware of this.

The murderer could seriously injure Lin Lin with one palm, and naturally he could kill him casually, but he deliberately made his dying father desperately watch his daughter being cruelly devoured, and then left him to this evil beast.

Pei Ye squatted down to take a closer look, the traces left by this beast can be called stingy, even the clearest one towards Lin Lin is also very faint, fortunately the rain weakened in the early morning, otherwise I am afraid that even this will not be left.

The paw prints are slightly larger than the soles of their feet, and the shape of the palms is slightly triangular, extending out of four finger claws, three in front and one in the back. And I don't know what's going on, Pei Li always feels that the shape of these paw prints is not consistent, as if they are changing. Looking down the past, it seems to ...... Is it getting bigger?

Chang Zhiyuan tilted his head and asked, "What is the direction it left from?" ”

"This is the strangest thing, we can't find any trace of it coming and going."

"What do you mean?" Chang Zhiyuan frowned.

"The footprints of those murderers extend all the way to the river, they should have run away by boat, and the river will go out of the city and into the city in two directions, and we can track it down. But the beast didn't leave any paw prints, as if it had disappeared into thin air after committing the murder...... Or, not leaving here at all. ”

The last half of the sentence made both of them frightened, but looking around, the sky was bright, the tolerance was disturbed, and there was nothing waiting for the opportunity to move.

Feng Zhi raised his finger and said, "You see, the south is the county seat, the west is a large river beach, and the east and north are dirt roads and fields. After the heavy rain, it was all mud. But the paw prints are only here, and I really can't figure out where this beast has gone. ”

Pei Li suddenly said, "What if it's flying?" ”

Feng Zhi was stunned for a moment, touched his beard and said, "It's not right!" Yesterday it rained heavily, and I was afraid that the crops would be damaged, so many people went to the fields early this morning to drain the water. It was already dawn, and if something flew up from the field, no one would not see it. ”

Several people thought for a while and had no clue, so they put down this section first, Pei Li squatted down and looked back and forth a few times at the only long bedgown, frowned and said, "Two adults, something is not right." ”

"What's wrong?"

Pei Ye pointed out: "The other three are only wearing profane clothes, and the claws of the beasts can easily tear the clothes to the ground, so the fact that 'the person completely disappears, and the clothes are completely left' does not seem abnormal." But this deceased was wearing a long coat and trousers, how could he look like this? ”

Feng Zhi's pupils shrank, and he understood what Pei Li meant: Monsters eating people will not be like people eating oranges, peeling off the skin before putting their mouths, a monster with a belt and bones will leave the clothes intact? How did this bedgown only leave blood stains and not a little scrap of flesh and bones?

A picture of the hairs standing on end in his mind came to his mind: the victim's whole body was reduced to a mess of paste, sucked clean by the shapeless beast like a bee's dew.

This imagination was too creepy, Feng Zhi twisted his huge body slightly and didn't open his mouth.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves stopped outside the forest, and several people looked at it, Shen Yanping turned over and dismounted, and walked over quickly, holding a book in his hand.

"Guys, I've found that sense of déjà vu." The regular inspector's face was a little pale, his voice was warm, and he said before he could come over, "That mark is indeed a harbinger of victimization." ”

Chang Zhiyuan said: "How can it be proven? ”

Shen Yanping took a breath and recited slowly: "The spirit is good, the text is upside down, the turtle is auspicious, and the immortal will be ascended in three days." ”

Chang Zhiyuan's eyes narrowed: "Yu Feng Ling's Good Spirit." ”

Feng Zhi's movement of brushing his beard also suddenly paused, and his eyes looked straight into the void.

Only Pei Ye looked around a little blankly: "Dare to ask a few adults, what does this mean?" ”

Chang Zhiyuan said softly: "The legend is a poem handed down from the ancient Yu Dynasty, which says that whoever the gods like, they will draw a mark on his forehead, and divination says that this is a good thing, and the chosen person can become an immortal within three days." ”

Pei Ye subconsciously reached out and stroked his forehead.

Jinni? A deity who existed from the Yu Dynasty 6,000 years ago to the present day?

"Hehe...... Feng Zhi gritted his teeth and sneered, "The price of this 'like' is really tragic." ”

Shen Yanping said in a low voice: "The elders like young children, and the tiger wolf also 'likes' young children. ”

Chang Zhiyuan frowned and thought for a while, then turned to the other two and said: "Speaking of this, I also remembered, I remember that in the Han Dynasty, there was a Fang Shi surnamed Du who made a small note for this poem, as if it recorded a ritual. Later, Hu Ye, a Jin man, suspected that it was half-true and half-false, and when compiling it, he was classified into the category of Zhiyi. ”

Feng Zhi shook his head, indicating that he was not impressed.

Shen Yanping held up the book and said: "Not bad! It is this Du Wuzhen's "Three Dynasties Poems", he said that the ritual was used to sacrifice to the gods, and the lives and flesh of 1, 4, and 7 people were taken respectively in three days to feast on the gods. ”

His brows lowered: "But that's all for the time being, I have found all Du Wuzhen's books, and the rest are still being consulted." ”

Feng Zhi suddenly said: "Not bad! Yesterday there was one person, and this time the target of these murderers was originally four people, but this kid successfully saved himself, and it was convenient for him to temporarily catch Lin Jue to make up the numbers, but it alarmed Lin Lin. ”

"There's a problem. At that time, Brother Pei had already left the north gate, why didn't this murderer come to arrest him, but went to Lord Lin's house farther away? ”

Pei Ye raised his head, this was also the question he had been thinking about.

I just killed two 'kidnappers', and since they were able to find themselves in the first place, why didn't they continue to send more powerful people to catch them?

"Perhaps, when this kid wakes up, he won't be the target of the 'gods'?"

Several people looked at the fire talisman that was still shining on Pei Li's forehead, and they all gave up this guess.

Shen Yanping pondered: "It is not the murderer who chooses the target, but the 'gods', and the perpetrator has no right to decide. After Brother Pei woke up, the 'connection' with this ritual had been severed, and the murderer asked to be re-selected, but the 'god' didn't choose him anymore for some reason, but chose Lin Jue. ”

Didn't choose me again?

Pei Ye thought in a daze, and the dream of last night suddenly came back to his mind.

He has no memory of how to get out of the city from home, but the dream of chasing and escaping is vivid.

"I'll relieve you of this 'divine favor' tonight." The words of the cockroach are in my ears.

Pei Ye didn't think about it at all, he just regarded it as a habitual dream, thinking that maybe he kicked a piece of gravel, or maybe he woke up with pain in his chest and abdomen.

Because this is really far from the mountain city boy's perception of the world.

In Pei Li's previous imagination of the outside world, the most magnificent thing is just "maybe there is a warlock in the world who can resist fire and water".

But now it makes him believe that there is really a god in his dreams. This kind of experience will cause the teenager to fall into deep self-doubt - in the face of this kind of power, are the fists and swords he practiced really of any use?

But in retrospect, the details of the beast's appearance are exquisite, as if in front of you, and what you say is seamlessly connected with the real world.

What's more, if there is anything that can make him disappear from the vision of the so-called gods, it is obviously not the punch and kick that killed those two people, but more likely the black cocktail that can enter people's dreams.
