Chapter 56
When the lights were out previously,
Zheng Haiyang just thought it was a normal trip or power outage. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the countryside today.
Tan Wenbin felt a thump in his heart. The last time he went there to eat, the experience left a deep shadow in his heart. However, even though his hand holding the chopsticks trembled a few times, he could still convince himself that he was too much. sensitive.
Runsheng held the chopsticks firmly in his right hand and was chewing in his mouth when the lights were turned off. But with his left hand, he had already grasped the handle of the Yellow River shovel that was leaning on the bench under his seat.
The moment the light came on, Runsheng glanced at the cauldron on the table, and immediately focused his attention on Li Zhuiyuan, who was sitting opposite him.
As long as Xiaoyuan gave a look, he would pick up a shovel and smash the heads of the two old men next to him without hesitation.
In fact, when Li Zhuiyuan turned off the lights, his ears caught the slightly trembling and erratic voices of the two old men. The sound of the big bowl containing the starter being put down also made him feel that something was wrong. Whose bowl was at the bottom? Will it be supported by several long tips?
When you eat at home, not in a big hotel, you don't have to worry about the food cooling down for a long time. Set up an iron rack underneath and put a piece of solid alcohol in it to light it and keep it warm.
If Li Zhuiyuan hadn't always been able to pinpoint the voices of Zheng Haiyang's grandparents, Li Zhuiyuan couldn't help but wonder if his grandparents' heads would be in the newly loaded container when the lights came on.
Since it is called the first dish, it is understandable to put a real head there.
Because he was blind, his hearing is really sharp now.
But even if he sensed something was wrong in advance, he still didn't dare to act in advance.
In an unfamiliar environment, he might have called Runsheng to lift the table before the lights came on.
But no matter what, this is Zheng Haiyang's home after all, and Zheng Haiyang is his classmate and Tan Wenbin's good friend. He has just lost his parents. He is very pitiful.
The moment the light came on and he saw the cauldron, Li Zhuiyuan felt a strong sense of rejection in his heart. What was the point of such a meaningless emotional bond? Really stupid!
Fortunately, Li Zhuiyuan woke up in time and suppressed this instinctive emotion, so he did not get sick first at such a critical moment.
The boy's right fingers pinched the flesh on the back of his left hand and twisted hard.
The pain is secondary. The most frightening thing is that this proves that the current environment is not a ghost, a dream, or hypnosis.
this is true.
This puts the multiple-choice question before us again. Since Zheng Haiyang's grandparents can serve the tripod as a serving container, it proves that they are no longer normal.
You can wake up from a dream, but if the reality is changed, it is often impossible to recover.
Similar dilemmas arise again.
But this time, Li Zhuiyuan didn't hesitate anymore. He immediately raised his eyelids and gave Brother Runsheng opposite him a look.
Runsheng immediately raised the shovel.
"Crack!"
The lights went out again.
In the whole room, from the bedroom door to the dam, all the talisman papers turned black and fell.
Everything happened too fast, and what immediately appeared was the distortion and folding of the personal sense of space.
Li Zhuiyuan obviously didn't move, still sitting on the chair, but it seemed as if he was sitting on a roller coaster, and he was sitting upside down, and his body was moving backwards quickly.
"Poof!"
There were three consecutive sounds of falling to the ground.
The movements varied in size, ranging from as close as five meters to as far as twenty meters away.
The three of them must have stood up in surprise, but all of them lost their center of gravity and fell to the ground.
Only Li Zhuiyuan remained stable because he was still sitting on the chair.
"Ah!"
This is Tan Wenbin's scream.
The screams first became far away, then became closer, and then moved from near to far, as if they were echoing in the empty valley.
The next moment, Li Zhuiyuan heard footsteps behind him. The person was wearing cloth shoes and his feet were light.
Among the four of him, Runsheng was the only one wearing cloth shoes, but Runsheng's feet were heavy, especially in this emergency situation, it was impossible for him to tiptoe.
Li Zhuiyuan held the bench with both hands and slid down.
"Buzz!"
A very sharp sound of air passed above me. Was he using a knife?
Although it was pitch dark and he couldn't see anything, Li Zhuiyuan could imagine an old man or an old lady standing behind him, holding a kitchen knife and slashing horizontally where he was sitting.
Li Zhuiyuan turned around, pushed his feet on the ground, and subconsciously made a crouching horse stance. Then he grabbed the bench with both hands and pushed it forward hard.
He insists on practicing the zhamabu and tuna taught by Uncle Qin every day. Over time, it has indeed produced obvious results. His lower body is more solid, and his force is stronger and longer.
That is to say, due to his age and lack of physical development, he was still weaker than his classmates with normal development in the third year of high school. However, if he were allocated according to the normal age group, he would be able to dominate the elementary school.
There was a feeling of impact on the bench, and the impact on the knee could easily cause the opponent to lose balance, and the opponent should have fallen down.
But before Li Zhuiyuan could make any follow-up actions, the strong sense of spatial dislocation hit him again. He immediately closed his eyes, trying to reduce the impact as much as possible by closing his perception channels, but suddenly he realized that he was standing stupidly like this. The way is dangerous.
He immediately opened his eyes again, opening up all his senses, and then suddenly he couldn't figure out up, down, left, and right. He fell down and started rolling.
It was precisely because of this that he heard the continuous chopping sounds again. It was obvious that the old man who had been knocked down by him was frantically chopping at his original position.
Li Zhuiyuan couldn't help but wonder, was it because they themselves were slow to react, or because they couldn't see it themselves?
"Click!"
"Click!"
Two flames rose, one close and one far away.
Runsheng and Tan Wenbin both carry matches, and they are using this method to attract their companions.
But why did sparks fly at the same time?
Although everyone was eating in the house, even if the lights were out, there was moonlight outside, but now, there was no sign of external light.
So why would it allow you to let out fire at this time?
The flame of the match continues.
Runsheng's voice came: "Xiaoyuan, Xiaoyuan!"
It was indeed Runsheng's voice, but because the voice sounded far and near, it was impossible to tell which group of light it came from.
"Brother Xiaoyuan, Brother Xiaoyuan!"
This was Tan Wenbin's voice, and he still couldn't tell which ball of light it came from.
Li Zhuiyuan immediately got up, avoided the nearby match light, and ran towards the group in the distance.
One of these two balls of light must be a trap!
Because whether it was Runsheng or Tan Wenbin, even if they coincidentally figured out how to light a match at the same time, they would never be stupid enough to stand still when they saw another match light up.
To be precise, Runsheng may have chosen not to move in order to attract and wait for him, but Tan Wenbin had screamed before and was probably injured. When he saw Runsheng's flames, he would definitely move in the direction of Runsheng. Seeking asylum.
Because Tan Wenbin knows very well who is responsible for force among everyone, and who is the safest to be next to.
Even if he crawls, he will crawl there.
Sure enough, when Li Zhuiyuan ran some distance away, the flames in his sight became clear, and he saw Runsheng and Tan Wenbin with Runsheng's side showing pain.
They had a match together and were waiting for them. As for the other match, it was a trap.
Suddenly, Li Zhuiyuan heard footsteps coming from behind him. They were still light footsteps of cloth shoes, but they should still be some distance away from him.
"Xiaoyuan, be careful!"
Runsheng let out a loud shout, picked up the Yellow River shovel and smashed it over.
Runsheng's shovel was aimed at himself.
He saw himself, but he was affected by the sense of space. He shouted to himself to be careful. Combined with the footsteps he heard, it meant that from Runsheng's perspective, danger was behind him.
His shovel was aimed at the person coming behind him.
But from his own perspective, it was coming towards him.
It's like answering a question. You have to figure out the thought and intention of the person who asked the question. He wants to be beaten to death by Runsheng.
So if you dodge back at this time, you may just enter Runsheng's attack range.
Of course, there could also be a Russian nesting doll here, so guess what you’re predicting.
However, while understanding the intention of the person who asked the question, you must also understand the level of the person who asked the question. For example, with the two match flames before, the opponent's trap was relatively "straightforward".
Therefore, there was no need to think too much about other situations. Instead of hiding, Li Zhuiyuan took the initiative and rushed towards Runsheng's shovel.
Swinging down the shovel, Li Zhuiyuan hit Runsheng directly before he could get very far.
He was right.
Runsheng was right in front of him, with that shovel, he couldn't retreat.
"Xiaoyuan!"
Runsheng continued to hold the shovel with his right hand, and grabbed Li Zhuiyuan's arm with his left hand.
When the two parties have substantial contact, it can at least ensure that there will no longer be a sense of spatial dislocation between the two.
Li Zhuiyuan pushed his hand upwards. Runsheng understood and raised his left arm to lift the boy onto his back. The boy put his arms around Runsheng's neck.
"Brother Runsheng, close your eyes."
"Okay!"
Runsheng closed his eyes and completely handed over the command to the boy.
Li Zhuiyuan also closed his eyes and only focused on his auditory perception.
"Ten steps ahead."
Runsheng immediately stepped forward and walked down.
Tan Wenbin grabbed Runsheng's vest and followed behind.
"Turn left."
Runsheng turns left.
"Twelve steps forward, then turn right and take six steps."
Runsheng immediately complied.
The footsteps of cloth shoes kept coming from the surroundings. It could be heard that the two old men holding kitchen knives were in a hurry, but they did not dare to pounce.
Because of the boy's guidance, Runsheng only needed to tell him which direction people were coming from, and Runsheng could hit them to death with a shovel even with his eyes closed.
These two old people also have the advantage of sight. They are still two old people in essence.
"Directly ahead, use a shovel to chop, this is the kitchen door."
Runsheng picked up the shovel and started chopping.
There was no sound of chopping in the front, it must have been deliberately "moved" very far away.
After continuous chops, Runsheng kicked him a few more times.
"Fifteen steps forward."
Runsheng began to move forward.
In the layout of Zheng Haiyang's house, the dining room and kitchen are together. Going out from the kitchen door is the living room. You can only really leave the house by walking into the living room.
This is a dark maze game, but Li Zhuiyuan has played it before in the blind life.
"Turn right, take twelve steps, a little far away, smash the door, there is glass on the living room door, be careful."
Runsheng followed the instructions, walked to his position and continued to smash the door.
According to Li Zhuiyuan's speculation, this special environmental pattern is probably limited to this building.
Even if the range is larger, it doesn't matter. After leaving the house and going down the dam, the outside is much wider, and the neighbors live far away. If it doesn't work, just let Runsheng run wildly in the fields. I don't believe that he can't escape. It's this range.
Tan Wenbin also understood what Li Zhuiyuan wanted to do. He wanted to remind the four that there was still one missing person, but he also knew clearly that how could Xiao Yuan be so smart and forget Zheng Haiyang.
Xiaoyuan chose not to look for it, but to get out of danger and go to a safe area first. He could understand. The most important thing was that he was also a pendant on Runsheng's body now, and he had no right to ask for anything.
We can only leave here first, and then ask Xiaoyuan to find a way to save Haiyang.
"Okay, it should be smashed, Brother Runsheng, let's go out..."
"Ahhh! Ahhh!"
Zheng Haiyang's screams came from not far behind.
"No, no, no, save me, save me!"
Tan Wenbin bit his lip, which was bleeding, but he still didn't say anything and didn't even dare to increase his grip on Runsheng's vest.
The buddy he had been protecting was now in terrible danger, but he could only choose to ignore it.
It's not that he was afraid. If he were alone here at this time, even if he knew it was dangerous to turn back, he would turn back and run to save people without hesitation.
But now, he is worried that if he does this, he will kidnap Xiaoyuan and affect Xiaoyuan's judgment.
Zheng Haiyang's scream did make Li Zhuiyuan pause, but it was only a small pause.
Immediately, there was a firm instruction:
"Go out, run twenty strides, jump!"
Runsheng started running, and so did Tan Wenbin.
Runsheng began to jump. Although Tan Wenbin tried his best to count Runsheng's steps, he had a hard time keeping up with Runsheng's pace. When Runsheng finally jumped, he was too slow.
There was severe pain in the whole person's knees, and he fell down and landed hard on the ground.
But when I opened my eyes, I saw the stars in the night sky and the surrounding vegetable fields.
They're out!
Tan Wenbin looked in front of him. Except for the uphill and downhill sections, small cement fences less than one meter high were built around the dam of Zheng Haiyang's house.
Xiaoyuan had calculated the distance before, and then asked Runsheng to take off. He failed to take off successfully, and directly hit him and fell over.
Fortunately, it was just painful and bruised, so it wasn't a big problem.
Runsheng turned around and looked at Wuba who had just come out.
Li Zhuiyuan patted Runsheng's shoulder, and Runsheng supported him with one hand, helping the boy land smoothly.
"Brother Runsheng, use your vest to bandage Brother Binbin."
"Okay!"
Runsheng took off his vest, tore it into strips, and bandaged Tan Wenbin's left arm wound, barely stopping the bleeding.
Previously, in the dark, his arm was chopped with a kitchen knife. Although he bled a lot, it was not a big problem. After all, it was not done by someone with Runsheng's physique.
Li Zhuiyuan and Runsheng, on the other hand, were relatively unscathed. Li Zhuiyuan escaped by relying on his hearing, while Runsheng kept waving the Yellow River shovel, even if he couldn't see it, he wouldn't let the two old men get close.
Tan Wenbin was also lucky. He struck the match and arrived at Runsheng's side in time.
Originally, he was supposed to be one of the two most dangerous.
As for the other one, he should still be in the house now.
"Brother Runsheng, my compass."
Tan Wenbin immediately said: "It's in the bag, still in the house."
Previously, the tool bag was at Runsheng's feet. He deliberately took out the Yellow River shovel and placed it within his reach. This was also a lesson learned from the last time he had dinner at Zhou Yong's house.
But after it was completely dark, there was no time to hold on to the Yellow River shovel, and no time to get the equipment.
However, Runsheng put his hand into his trouser pocket and took out the purple compass.
"I always carry Xiaoyuan's compass with me."
Li Zhuiyuan took the compass and began to deduce the pattern ahead.
Then, he quickly discovered something.
"We haven't escaped its influence, we are still in it."
Runsheng hurriedly bent down and prepared to carry the boy on his back again.
Tan Wenbin also immediately became nervous. Could it be that everything he saw now was fake?
"The problem is not big. The area we are in now is only external, not internal. People outside cannot see the changes in our location. Although we are still inside, we are also out of the most dangerous area."
When Runsheng and Tan Wenbin heard this, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Tan Wenbin timidly shouted: "Xiaoyuan..."
"I know."
Li Zhuiyuan continued to deduce with his head down.
As long as you can deduce it, the darkness inside will be like a light bulb being hung up again, and the danger will no longer be a danger.
Li Zhuiyuan originally wanted Tan Wenbin to run out to find Tan Yunlong now.
Yes, since we are here to salvage something tonight, how could we not notify Tan Yunlong?
If you don’t notify Tan Yunlong, who will you ask to hand over the things you find to the state?
In fact, Tan Yunlong had been monitoring the outside area in the afternoon, and there were four plainclothes policemen around him.
When the four of them came here from school, they didn't go to greet anyone because they were not on the same journey. Tan Yunlong would continue to watch this night no matter what.
However, looking at the wounds on Tan Wenbin's body, Li Zhuiyuan felt that this thing was so vicious, and the "plaque" effect might not be enough here.
Calling Tan Yunlong and others here rashly will only increase their danger after entering.
"Ah!"
At this moment, Zheng Haiyang also stumbled out from the broken living room door. He had multiple stab wounds on his body and was covered in blood.
Zheng Haiyang was holding a bench in his hand and waving it around like crazy.
Behind him, his grandparents were approaching him step by step, holding kitchen knives dripping with blood.
Tan Wenbin immediately shouted with all his strength: "Ocean, ocean, ocean, go here!"
Run to the side of the dam and come down again, and you'll be safe.
Because as long as he could see, it would be really easy for Runsheng to take care of two old people by himself. Runsheng was not even needed, Tan Wenbin could do it by himself.
Li Zhuiyuan: "Shut up!"
"Huh?"
Tan Wenbin didn't understand it at first, but he soon understood. The propagation of sound inside will also be controlled.
Zheng Haiyang seemed to have heard Tan Wenbin's voice, but the "direction" was wrong. Instead of continuing to lean towards Tan Wenbin and the others, he seemed to be attracted by the sound and walked diagonally behind him, leaving his side to the side. My grandparents.
The grandparents each raised their kitchen knives and chopped down.
Grandpa's knife was faster and hit the target. Zheng Haiyang screamed and immediately rolled on the ground. He was almost using his animal instinct to survive.
Fortunately, he rolled quickly, allowing him to avoid his grandma's knife.
But when he struggled to get up again, he was now completely transformed into a bloody man, and his steps began to become sluggish.
But precisely because of this roll, he was closer to the edge of the dam, and he could almost reach him by stretching out his hand.
Zheng Haiyang slowly took two steps back. His body was only one decimeter away from the small cement fence at the edge of the dam.
But he stopped and did not continue to retreat. Instead, he began to move to the left. He was still holding the bench in his hand. He was very nervous and kept shaking his head. This was a sign that his consciousness was beginning to blur due to excessive blood loss.
His grandparents, holding knives, pressed closer and closer step by step.
At this time, Li Zhuiyuan raised his head and put the compass down.
Tan Wenbin was overjoyed, thinking that Xiao Yuan had already settled it.
He stared at the boy, hoping the boy would speak.
But the boy didn't speak, he just looked ahead calmly.
Tan Wenbin gestured to reach out his right hand, but did not fully extend it. There was still some distance from the edge of the railing. All he needed was a nod from the boy, and he would grab Zheng Haiyang and pull him to safety.
Li Zhuiyuan patted Runsheng's arm, and Runsheng immediately raised his hand and slapped Tan Wenbin's hand away as he tried to reach out.
Tan Wenbin's eyes widened. He did not dare to look at Li Zhuiyuan anymore. He just knelt down softly, his face full of struggle and pain.
Zheng Haiyang's grandparents are continuing to approach, but Zheng Haiyang has lost the ability to react and is just putting on airs.
Li Zhuiyuan began to retreat step by step. As he retreated, he glanced at Tan Wenbin who was kneeling on the ground.
Runsheng also stepped back, but reached out and grabbed Tan Wenbin's clothes.
Tan Wenbin lay on the ground and was dragged away.
Afraid that his voice would affect Zheng Haiyang, Tan Wenbin could only hold back his emotions, but his tears and snot had already flowed out.
After exiting a short distance away, Li Zhuiyuan stopped and stood behind Runsheng. He just stuck his head out and continued to look in the direction of Bazi.
Runsheng moved Tan Wenbin back and let him lie on top of him.
Tan Wenbin took a deep breath, tried to get up, waved to Runsheng, indicating that he was fine, then looked at Li Zhuiyuan, and nodded vigorously to the boy.
His eyes became firm again, and although he could still see the pain, there was no longer any hesitation or struggle.
This surprised Li Zhuiyuan but also felt that it was reasonable.
Perhaps this is Tan Wenbin's style. He is vulnerable like ordinary people, but after being vulnerable, he can quickly adjust himself and become strong.
"Ye Gong Hao Long" is a derogatory term, but daring to keep saying "Ye Gong Hao Long" is also an excellent quality.
Zheng Haiyang's grandparents finally came to him.
However, Zheng Haiyang's lost eyes suddenly became firm. He reached out to take the knife from his grandmother, turned around and faced outside the dam, and threw it in the direction of Li Zhuiyuan and the others.
Runsheng Huanghe swung his shovel, and with a bang, the kitchen knife was blocked and flew out.
Grandpa Zheng Haiyang also raised his kitchen knife and smashed it at them. Unfortunately, the old man was old and in poor health, so the kitchen knife fell to the ground one meter in front of the three of them.
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Haiyang and his grandparents stood side by side against the fence, staring coldly at the three people outside.
In the evening breeze, the bodies of the two old men and the young man were swaying gently with the wind.
Water was constantly seeping out of their eyes, ears, mouths and noses, completely soaking their clothes.
Tan Wenbin looked shocked. Although he had suspicions in his mind when Xiaoyuan retreated, when the facts and truth were placed in front of him, he still found it difficult to accept it.
My good buddy was also controlled?
Zheng Haiyang was so close to the railing earlier, wasn't he trying to seduce him to reach out for him?
And if I really reach out to catch him and save him, what will be my fate?
No, if Runsheng hadn't slapped away his outstretched arm, with the previous distance, Zheng Haiyang would have been able to turn around and hit him with the kitchen knife.
If Xiao Yuan hadn't opened the distance in time, it wouldn't have been easy to prevent the two kitchen knives from being thrown at him.
Tan Wenbin suddenly remembered what Zheng Haiyang said to him last night. He said that he did not feel sad about the death of his parents.
I comforted him, but now that I think about it, maybe something was wrong with Zheng Haiyang at that time.
"Brother Xiaoyuan...have you seen it a long time ago?"
One of the two matches was lit by Runsheng and Tan Wenbin. Who lit the other match that attracted him?
Just as he was about to break open the living room door and go out, Zheng Haiyang let out a scream at the right time, attracting him to turn around and rescue him.
He escaped out of the door and left the scope of "dark night", but Zheng Haiyang was able to escape from the living room door and arrived at the dam.
Who is this performance for?
The skill of the person who asked the question is not high, and its intention is not difficult to guess.
But all of this was just Li Zhuiyuan's feeling and speculation, and he had no evidence to prove that Zheng Haiyang had been manipulated to take that side.
What really drove him to do nothing was that he didn't want to gamble.
His relationship with Zheng Haiyang is not that good, and their friendship is not that deep. There is no need to take such a big risk to save him.
It's not like he and Runsheng haven't taken risks before, and they almost capsized, but that was something they chose to experience on their own initiative, which was different from being forced to be involved.
However, this reason is not suitable to tell Tan Wenbin, he will be even more sad.
Therefore, Li Zhuiyuan responded calmly:
"Yeah."
Tan Wenbin gritted his teeth, pointed at the dam in front, and asked: "Brother Xiaoyuan, can they still be saved?"
Li Zhuiyuan looked at the corner of the dam and the door frame of the house, but he could no longer find his talisman.
"I don't know what supports the 'dark night' inside, but it shouldn't last long. At least, after dawn, the place will return to normal."
Tan Wenbin couldn't bear to say: "No...it's hopeless?"
Zheng Haiyang has just lost his parents, and now he has to lose his grandparents, no, even he himself will...
Li Zhuiyuan shook his head.
He didn't know whether he could be saved or not, but he didn't have the ability to save her.
Moreover, throughout the books written by Wei Zhengdao, there is no mention of a person turning into that kind of thing and being able to change back again.
If there was such a method, the one buried under the peach tree would have used it on himself long ago.
Li Zhuiyuan can now try to use the method in the black book to control one of the two elders and the younger one, but there is no point in doing so.
Tan Wenbin wiped his face hard and gritted his teeth.
What emerged in my ears were the words Zheng Haiyang shouted when he suddenly fell into a coma with water all over his body after school:
"There is a bastard who is buried under the sea; whoever dares to rape him will have his whole family killed!"
What on earth is that thing on the bottom of the sea that is so ruthless?
This is true, no one will be spared, the whole family will be killed!
Suddenly, Li Zhuiyuan's ears trembled slightly.
Runsheng also turned around and instinctively protected the boy behind him.
A figure was running quickly.
He ran as fast as a cheetah.
However, he ran towards Bazi from another direction and did not pass by the three of him.
"Xiaoyuan?"
Li Zhuiyuan didn't respond. He didn't think it was necessary for Runsheng to intercept this sudden person.
In fact, the area where the three of them are now is really difficult for ordinary people to get in. Otherwise, Tan Yunlong and the others would have noticed something was going on inside and rushed over.
At this time, the running man suddenly turned his head and looked over.
Half of his face was severely swollen, and his eyes seemed to have been squeezed out, leaving only empty, dark eye sockets.
But he seemed to be smiling.
His one-eyed gaze also focused on himself among the three.
Li Zhuiyuan didn't recognize him, but the other person's eyes told him that he seemed to recognize him.
An answer, about the identity of the other party, rose in my heart.
Zhu Changyong!
The person who followed Zheng Haiyang's parents into the area under the sea and then came ashore.
It's also Xu Wen, the person she's trying to find.
Although he is still strong and healthy now, he no longer looks like a human being.
But why did he appear now?
Li Zhuiyuan turned to look at Bazi again. He suddenly realized that the hostile relationship... seemed to be wrong.
Zhu Changyong jumped onto the dam and entered the "dark night".
His arms began to fumble, and it seemed that he had difficulty adapting for a while, but he soon burst into laughter. This laughter was very strange, and there must be something wrong with his vocal cords.
He is now like a piece of rotten human flesh that is constantly deteriorating.
Zheng Haiyang and his grandparents all faced him.
Zhu Changyong rushed forward, but the night was useless to him.
He rushed towards Grandpa Zheng Haiyang, knocking him down with one punch, and then faced Grandma Zheng Haiyang and Zheng Haiyang himself who rushed to bite him, and quickly overturned them.
He was very skilled. If he had been the one who attacked the three of them in the dark night, then the three of them would have had no chance of making it out alive.
On the dam, it was like four crazy beasts fighting, but the beast king successfully suppressed the three of them.
Zhu Changyong opened Zheng Haiyang's mouth and then put his hand directly in. Soon, when he took his hand back, he was holding a small living creature in his hand.
"Bah!"
Zhu Changyong pulled the thing out and tore it in pieces.
Then he attacked Zheng Haiyang's grandparents. The two old people were frightened and started to run away like crazy, but they were knocked to the ground again.
Zhu Changyong also took out a living thing from his grandma's mouth and twisted it into pieces.
Finally, Grandpa stood up with his neck straight, and a sarcoma appeared on his neck.
Because the height was sufficient and the angle was clear, even from a distance, Li Zhuiyuan and the others saw that the thing that escaped from the mouth was a baby turtle.
But unlike other hatchlings, its shell is gray-purple, reflecting strange patterns in the moonlight.
As soon as the hatchling crawled out, Zhu Changyong leaped forward and grabbed it. When it landed, he pulled its head out of the shell. After pulling it out for a long time, it finally broke with a "chirp"!
Immediately, Zhu Changyong ran into the house, and soon he ran out grabbing the tripod.
He lifted the tripod, pointed it at the sharp corner of the cement fence at the edge of the dam, and smashed it down hard.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Under continuous hard impact, the tripod cracked.
A turtle as big as a sea bowl flew out and landed directly on Zhu Changyong's chest.
The clothes were torn instantly, and you could see that Zhu Changyong's chest was dented.
Zhu Changyong reached out several times to pull it off, but to no avail. The turtle seemed to know what would happen if he broke away, so it clung to Zhu Changyong like a suction cup.
"Ah!!!!"
Zhu Changyong spread his arms, raised his head, and roared like a wild wolf. The skin and flesh all over his body began to crack at this moment.
But he immediately lowered his head, jumped off the dam, and started running again.
It’s almost the same route, back the way we came.
When passing by the previous location, he still turned around and glanced at the boy.
"Brother Runsheng, catch up!"
"Okay!"
Runsheng bent down and Li Zhuiyuan jumped up.
Runsheng also started running.
But even though Runsheng was already running very fast, Li Zhuiyuan was still in pain from the impact of his shoulder blades when swinging his arms, but he still failed to catch up with Zhu Changyong, and instead he gradually pulled away from him.
Because Zhu Changyong's running posture is no longer human-like.
Normal humans cannot swing and twist their joints like this.
At this time, Li Zhuiyuan heard the sound of the motorcycle starting, turned around and saw that it was Tan Yunlong.
Although sufficient preliminary investigation was done, the development of things is still unbelievable.
This made Li Zhuiyuan remember what Tan Yunlong said to him yesterday: handling cases will encounter very bizarre twists and turns, and it is not the case itself that brings about the mystery, but the people involved in the case.
But in the end, at the closing line, it was on the right track again.
Tan Yunlong finally found the Zhu Changyong he was looking for.
However, Zhu Changyong was not running on the road. He took a very strange route and got into the woods. Li Zhuiyuan took a general look in the distance and realized that he was going to the river!
Tan Yunlong's motorcycle soon stopped driving, so he could only throw the car aside and start running after him.
But Zhu Changyong's speed continued to increase in the forest. When Li Zhuiyuan Runsheng and Tan Yunlong chased them out of the forest, they saw the other party's figure already appearing in the sand quarry by the river below.
Nowadays, environmental protection has not received enough attention. Sand quarries are active everywhere. Even at night, the machines are still on.
Zhu Changyong stood at the machine gate, turned around and looked at the three people chasing him.
He didn't seem to intend to continue running away, he just waited here on purpose.
At this time, the turtle that was originally unwilling to leave his chest became frightened and wanted to escape, but Zhu Changyong hugged himself with both arms and forcibly restrained him.
"Must...must..."
He tried to make a sound, but it was like a hoarse wail in the dark night.
His one eye was fixed on Li Zhuiyuan, and he continued to shout and express with all his strength.
Originally, Li Zhuiyuan thought that the other party wanted to express a warning and persuade him not to go to that seabed again.
However, what Zhu Changyong shouted was:
"Must...must go there...get it!"
After saying that, he took the initiative to jump into the gate below.
In an instant, a large amount of meat and juice splashed out.
Even Tan Yunlong, who has rich experience in handling cases, was shocked by this scene. His intuition told him that the other party came here to die in this way!
He had chased criminals countless times, but this was the first time he had seen him in this situation.
Two workers at the sand quarry also heard the noise and came over. Tan Yunlong immediately ordered them to shut down the machine.
The machine stopped, but people were already everywhere.
Li Zhuiyuan and Runsheng returned to Zheng Haiyang's house and came to Bazi.
Tan Wenbin knelt there, looking at Zheng Haiyang's body in front of him with a dull expression.
After hearing the footsteps, Tan Wenbin looked back at the visitor, and then pointed to the three corpses lying on the ground in front of him:
"Brother Xiaoyuan, he is dead."
He had eaten boiled shrimps, but he had never actually seen them peeled.
He has seen people die before, and he has also seen corpses in the river, but he has never experienced the bloody process in front of him. Moreover, this time, he is still a good buddy of his.
"Brother Binbin, this is the other side of the world you want to see. It is not as interesting as you think."
"Well..."
"It's still too late for you to quit now."
Tan Wenbin was silent.
"Brother Runsheng, go take out our things and collect all the talismans."
Tan Yunlong walked up at this time and looked at his son kneeling on the ground. His eyes showed distress, but he still restrained the urge to comfort his son and turned to look at Li Zhuiyuan:
"Xiaoyuan, tell me, what happened?"
"Uncle Tan, if I don't say anything, how will you report it?"
"I can only report what I saw, which is that Zhu Changyong committed suicide when he was trying to escape."
"Just report it, Uncle Tan. But don't mention us."
"But that's not true, is it?"
"Uncle Tan, after you report it, another group of people will come to ask you for the facts. At that time, you can tell them your guesses."
Tan Yunlong immediately thought of Yu Shu who had appeared not long ago. That person had accompanied him to several places last time. The person was obviously not here to check on matters related to criminal investigation.
"Xiaoyuan, will there be any?"
"Yes, as long as Uncle Tan reports Zhu Changyong's name, and tells them what he shouted before he died; except for the three of us, Uncle Tan, you don't have to hide anything."
"I know."
Tan Yunlong understood that sometimes, knowing the truth in advance would make it inconvenient to be interviewed.
The kid wasn't trying to hide it from him, but was thinking about him.
Li Zhuiyuan walked up behind Tan Wenbin and patted him on the back:
"Brother Binbin, let's go home first."
Runsheng put his things on the tricycle and was already waiting. Li Zhuiyuan got on the tricycle.
The tricycle stopped not long after it drove out.
Because there was someone who grabbed the car from behind.
Li Zhuiyuan turned around and saw Tan Wenbin chasing after him. There was determination in his eyes, as if he had made some determination. He knew that the thing that really killed Zheng Haiyang came from that seabed.
For the first time, Tan Wenbin didn’t smile playfully when he mentioned the nickname Li Sanjiang gave him. He said seriously:
"Why don't you wait for me? Zhuangzhuang wants to go home."
