Chapter 56

When the lights were turned off,
Zheng Haiyang just thought it was a normal circuit breaker or power outage, which was not uncommon in the countryside nowadays.

Tan Wenbin's heart skipped a beat. The last experience he had at Sidao's house for dinner left a deep shadow in his heart. However, his hand holding the chopsticks only trembled a few times, but he was still able to convince himself that he was being too sensitive.

Runsheng held the chopsticks steadily in his right hand and was chewing when the lights were turned off, but his left hand had already grasped the handle of the Yellow River shovel leaning against the bench under his seat.

The moment the light came on, Runsheng glanced at the tripod on the table, and immediately set his gaze on Li Zhuiyuan who was sitting opposite him.

As long as Xiaoyuan gave him a look, he would pick up a shovel without hesitation and smash the heads of the two old men around him.

In fact, when Li Zhuiyuan turned off the lights, he caught the sound of the two old men's voices trembling and vague. The sound when the big bowl of head of cabbage was put down also made him feel something was wrong. Whose bowl bottom would be supported by several long pointed points?

When eating at home, you are not in a big restaurant, so you don't have to worry about the food getting cold after being left for too long. You can put an iron rack underneath and put a piece of solid alcohol inside to keep it warm.

If Li Zhuiyuan had not been able to determine the location of Zheng Haiyang's grandparents' voices, he would have wondered whether the grandparents' heads would be in the new container when the lights came on.

Since it is called "toucai", it is understandable that there is a real head inside it.

Because he was blind, his hearing is really sharp now.

But even if he realized something was wrong in advance, he still didn't dare to act in advance.

If it were an unfamiliar environment, he might have shouted at Runsheng to overturn the table before the lights even came on.

But no matter what, this is Zheng Haiyang's home after all, and Zheng Haiyang is his classmate and a good friend of Tan Wenbin. He just lost his parents and he is very pitiful.

The moment the light came on and he saw the tripod, Li Zhuiyuan felt a strong sense of rejection. What was the point of having such a meaningless emotional bond? It was really stupid!
Fortunately, Li Zhuiyuan woke up in time and suppressed this instinctive emotion, so he did not get sick at such a critical moment.

The boy pinched the flesh on the back of his left hand with his right fingers and twisted it hard.

The pain is secondary. The most terrifying thing is that this proves that the current environment is not a Yin-yang walk, a dream or hypnosis.

This is true.

This once again puts the multiple-choice question before their eyes. Since Zheng Haiyang's grandparents could use the tripod as a serving container, it proves that they are no longer normal.

You can wake up from a dream, but once the reality has been changed, it is often impossible to restore it.

A similar dilemma arises again.

But this time, Li Zhuiyuan did not hesitate any more. He immediately raised his eyelids and gave a look to Brother Runsheng opposite him.

Runsheng immediately raised the shovel.

"Snapped!"

The lights went out again.

In the entire room, from the bedroom door to the dam, all the talisman papers turned black and fell off.

Everything happened too fast, and what appeared immediately was the distortion and folding of one’s sense of space.

Li Zhuiyuan clearly did not move and was still sitting on the chair, but he felt as if he was sitting on a roller coaster, upside down, and his body was moving backwards rapidly.

"Pfft!"

There were three consecutive sounds of people falling to the ground.

The noises varied in size, with the closest being five meters away and the farthest being twenty meters away.

The three of them must have stood up in surprise, but ended up losing their balance and falling to the ground.

Only Li Zhuiyuan was still sitting on the chair and was able to remain stable.

"what!"

This is Tan Wenbin’s scream.

The screams first came from far away, then came closer, and then went farther away again, as if echoing in the valley.

The next moment, Li Zhuiyuan heard footsteps behind him. The person was wearing cloth shoes and had light feet.

Among the four of them, only Runsheng was wearing cloth shoes, but Runsheng had heavy feet, and especially in an emergency like this, it was impossible for him to tiptoe.

Li Zhuiyuan supported himself on the bench with both hands and slid down.

"Buzz!"

There was a very sharp sound of air passing right above me. Was he using a knife?
Although it was pitch black and he could not see anything, Li Zhuiyuan could imagine that there was an old man or an old woman standing behind him, holding a kitchen knife and chopping it horizontally towards the place where he was originally sitting.

Li Zhuiyuan turned around, pushed off the ground with his feet, subconsciously made a horse stance, then grabbed the bench with both hands and pushed forward hard.

He insisted on practicing the horse stance and breathing exercises taught by Uncle Qin every day, and over time, there were indeed obvious results. His lower body became more solid, and his force was greater and longer.

That is to say, due to his age and underdeveloped body, he is still weaker than those normally developed classmates in the senior year of high school. However, if he is configured normally according to his age, he can dominate the elementary school department.

There was a collision feeling on the bench. A hit on the knee could easily cause the opponent to lose balance, and he should have fallen down.

But before Li Zhuiyuan could make any follow-up move, the strong sense of spatial dislocation came over 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 this stupid way of standing there was very dangerous.

He immediately opened his eyes again, opening up all his senses, and then he suddenly couldn't tell up from down, left from right, and he fell down and began to roll around.

Because of this, he heard the continuous chopping sounds again. It was obvious that the old man who was knocked down by him was chopping madly at the same place where he had been before.

Li Zhuiyuan couldn't help but wonder, were they slow to react, or were they unable to see themselves?

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

Two flames rose, one close and one far away.

Runsheng and Tan Wenbin both carry matches with them, 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 off, there was moonlight outside. But now, there was no sign of external light at all.

So why would it allow you to release the fire at this time?

The flame of the match continued to burn.

Runsheng's voice came: "Xiaoyuan, Xiaoyuan!"

It was indeed Runsheng's voice, but because the voice was so distant and near, it was impossible to tell which light it came from.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, Brother Xiaoyuan!"

This was Tan Wenbin's voice, but he still couldn't tell which ball of light or fire it was.

Li Zhuiyuan immediately got up, avoided the light of the nearby matches, and ran towards the group in the distance.

One of these two balls of light and fire must be a trap!

Because whether it was Runsheng or Tan Wenbin, even if they coincidentally figured out how to light the match at the same time, when they saw the light of another match, they would never be so stupid as to stand there without moving.

To be precise, Runsheng might choose not to move in order to attract and wait for himself, but Tan Wenbin had screamed before and was probably injured. When he saw Runsheng's flames, he would definitely go towards Runsheng to seek shelter.

Because Tan Wenbin knew very well who was the most powerful person among the group and who was the safest person to stay next to.

Even if he had to crawl, he would crawl towards there.

Sure enough, when Li Zhuiyuan ran for a distance, the flames in his sight became clear, and he saw Runsheng and Tan Wenbin, who was looking in pain beside Runsheng.

They lit a match together and waited for themselves. As for the other match, it was a trap.

Suddenly, Li Zhuiyuan heard footsteps behind him. They were still the light footsteps of cloth shoes, but they should 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 his sense of space. He shouted to himself to be careful. Combined with the footsteps he heard, it meant that from Runsheng's perspective, the danger was behind him.

He used the shovel to hit the person coming from behind him.

But from my perspective, it was coming towards me.

It's like doing a question. You have to figure out the thinking and intention of the person who sets the question. He or she hopes to be beaten to death by Runsheng.

So if you dodge backwards at this time, you might just fall into Runsheng's attack range.

Of course, Russian dolls may also appear here, anticipating your predictions.

However, while understanding the intention of the question setter, you also have to understand the level of the question setter. For example, in the case of the two match flames mentioned earlier, the opponent's trap was relatively "straightforward".

Therefore, without considering other situations, Li Zhuiyuan not only did not dodge, but instead took the initiative to rush towards Runsheng's shovel.

The shovel was swung down, and before Li Zhuiyuan could rush out far, he crashed directly into Runsheng.

He was right.

Runsheng was right in front of him, and he couldn't retreat with that shovel.

"Xiaoyuan!"

Runsheng continued to hold the shovel in 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 be no sense of spatial dislocation between them.

Li Zhuiyuan exerted force with his hands upwards, and Runsheng understood. He raised his left arm and put the boy on his back. The boy put his arms around Runsheng's neck.

"Brother Runsheng, close your eyes."

"okay!"

Runsheng closed his eyes and handed over complete command to the boy.

Li Zhuiyuan also closed his eyes and focused only on his auditory perception.

"Ten steps straight ahead."

Runsheng immediately took a step forward.

Tan Wenbin grabbed Runsheng's vest and followed behind.

"Turn left."

Runsheng turned left.

"Twelve steps forward, then turn right and walk six steps."

Runsheng did as he was told immediately.

The sound of cloth shoes' footsteps could be heard all around, and it could be heard that the two old men holding kitchen knives were very anxious, but they did not dare to rush over.

With the boy's guidance, Runsheng only needed to tell him which direction the people were coming from, and he could beat them to death with a shovel even with his eyes closed.

These two old men only have the advantage of visual line of sight, and they are essentially still two old men.

"Directly in front of you, use the shovel to chop it. This is the kitchen door."

Runsheng picked up a shovel and started chopping.

There was no sound of chopping in front, which must have been deliberately "moved" very far away.

After a series of chops, Runsheng kicked a few more times.

"Fifteen steps forward."

Runsheng started to move forward.

In Zheng Haiyang's home, the dining room and kitchen are together. Going out of the kitchen door is the living room, and the only way to really leave the house is through the living room.

This is a dark maze game, but Li Zhuiyuan has played it before in his life as a blind person.

"Turn right, twelve steps, it's a bit far, smash the door, there's glass on the living room door, be careful."

Runsheng followed the instructions and walked to the location and continued to bang on 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 from each other. If it really doesn't work, let Runsheng run wildly in the fields. I don't believe that he can't escape from this range.

Tan Wenbin also understood what Li Zhuiyuan wanted to do. He wanted to remind them that there was still one person missing, but he also knew that Xiaoyuan was so smart, how could he forget Zheng Haiyang.

Xiao Yuan chose not to look for him and to escape from danger and go to a safe area first. He could understand that. The most important thing was that he was now just a pendant on Run Sheng and he had no right to ask for anything.

I can only leave here first and ask Xiaoyuan to find a way to save Haiyang.

"Okay, it should be smashed, Brother Runsheng, let's go..."

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Zheng Haiyang's screams came from not far behind.

"No, no, no, save me, save me!"

Tan Wenbin bit his lips so hard that they were bleeding, but he still said nothing and did not even dare to increase the strength of his grip on Runsheng's vest.

The buddy he had always protected was in terrible danger, but he could only choose to ignore it.

It's not that he was afraid. If he was the only one here at this moment, even if he knew it was dangerous to turn back, he would turn back without hesitation to save people.

But now, he was worried that if he did so, he would kidnap Xiaoyuan and affect Xiaoyuan's judgment.

Zheng Haiyang's scream did make Li Zhuiyuan pause for a moment, but it was only a brief pause.

Then, there was a firm instruction to continue:
"Go out, take twenty long steps, and jump!"

Runsheng started running, and Tan Wenbin also started running.

Runsheng started jumping. Although Tan Wenbin tried his best to count Runsheng's steps, it was very difficult for him to keep up with Runsheng's pace. Finally, when Runsheng jumped, he was slower than him.

He felt a sharp pain in his knee and fell down heavily to the ground.

But when I opened my eyes, I saw the stars in the night sky and the vegetable fields around me.

They're out!
Tan Wenbin looked in front of him. Except for the uphill and downhill sections, the surrounding area of ​​Zheng Haiyang's dam was covered with small cement fences less than one meter high.

Xiaoyuan had calculated the distance beforehand, so he let Runsheng jump. However, he himself failed to jump successfully and crashed into the wall and fell down.

Fortunately, it was just a slight scratch, not a big deal.

Runsheng turned around and looked at the house he had just come out of.

Li Zhuiyuan patted Runsheng on the shoulder, and Runsheng supported the boy with one hand, helping him to land smoothly.

"Brother Runsheng, use your vest to bandage Brother Binbin."

"it is good!"

Runsheng took off his vest, tore it into strips, and bandaged the wound on Tan Wenbin's left arm, barely stopping the bleeding.

Previously, when he was in darkness, his arm was cut by a kitchen knife. Although he bleeds a lot, it is not a big problem. After all, it was not someone of Runsheng's physique who cut him.

Li Zhuiyuan and Runsheng were unharmed. Li Zhuiyuan dodged by relying on his hearing, while Runsheng kept waving the Yellow River shovel, and even though he couldn't see, he would not let the two old men get close to him.

Tan Wenbin was also lucky, as he was the one who struck the match and arrived at Runsheng in time.

Originally, he should have been one of the two most dangerous.

As for the other one, he should still be in the house.

"Brother Runsheng, my compass."

Tan Wenbin immediately said: "It's in the bag and still in the house."

The tool bag was right under Runsheng's feet. He deliberately pulled 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 became pitch dark, I only had time to continue holding the Yellow River shovel and had no time to get my equipment.

However, Runsheng reached into his trouser pocket and took out the purple compass.

"Xiaoyuan's compass, I always carry it with me."

Li Zhuiyuan took the compass and began to deduce the situation ahead.

Then, he soon discovered something.

"We are not out of its sphere of influence yet. We are still in it."

Runsheng quickly bent down and prepared to carry the boy on his back again.

Tan Wenbin immediately became nervous. Could it be that everything he saw now was also fake?

"It's not a big problem. The area we are in now is only open to the outside, not the inside. People outside cannot see the changes in our location. Although we are still inside, we have also left the most dangerous area."

Runsheng and Tan Wenbin both breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

Tan Wenbin called out timidly: "Xiaoyuan..."

"I know."

Li Zhuiyuan continued to deduce with his head down.

As long as I can deduce it, the darkness inside will be like a light bulb hung again, and the danger will no longer be a danger.

Li Zhuiyuan originally wanted Tan Wenbin to run out and find Tan Yunlong now.

Yes, since we are here to salvage something tonight, how could we not notify Tan Yunlong?
If I don't notify Tan Yunlong, who can I turn to to hand over the stolen goods to the country?

In fact, Tan Yunlong was under surveillance from the outside in the afternoon, and there were four plainclothes police officers around him.

When the four of them came here from school, they didn't go to say hello to anyone because they were not from the same group. No matter what, Tan Yunlong would continue to guard this night.

However, looking at the wounds on Tan Wenbin's body, Li Zhuiyuan felt that this thing was very fierce, and the effect of the "plaque" might not be enough here.

If they rashly called Tan Yunlong and the others in, it would only increase their danger once they entered.

"what!"

At this moment, Zheng Haiyang also stumbled out from the broken living room door, with multiple knife wounds on his body and covered in blood.

Zheng Haiyang was holding a bench in his hand and waving it like crazy to drive them away.

Behind him, his grandparents were holding bloody kitchen knives and approaching him step by step.

Tan Wenbin immediately shouted at the top of his lungs: "Ocean, ocean, ocean, come here!"

Run to the dam and then come down, you will be safe.

Because as long as they can be seen, it would be easy for Runsheng to deal with the two old people alone. Even Runsheng is not needed, Tan Wenbin can do it himself.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Shut up!"

"what?"

Tan Wenbin didn't understand at first, but he soon understood. The sound, the transmission inside, can also be controlled.

Zheng Haiyang seemed to have heard Tan Wenbin's voice, but he was in the wrong "direction". Instead of continuing to move towards Tan Wenbin and the other two, he seemed to be attracted by the voice and walked diagonally to the rear, leaving his side to his grandparents.

Grandpa and grandma each picked up a kitchen knife and started chopping.

Grandpa's knife was faster and hit Zheng Haiyang. He screamed and rolled to the ground immediately. It was almost as if he was using his animal instinct to save his life.

Fortunately, he rolled over quickly and avoided the knife from his grandmother.

But when he struggled to get up again, he had completely turned into a bloody man, and his steps became unsteady.

But because of this roll, he was closer to the edge of the dam, and he could almost be reached by just stretching out his hand.

Zheng Haiyang slowly took two steps back, his body only one centimeter away from the small concrete fence at the edge of the dam.

But he stopped and did not continue to retreat. Instead, he began to move to the left, still holding the bench in his hand. He was very nervous and kept shaking his head, which was a sign of blurred consciousness due to excessive blood loss.

His grandparents, holding knives, kept approaching him.

At this time, Li Zhuiyuan raised his head and put the compass upside down.

Tan Wenbin was overjoyed, thinking that Xiaoyuan had already figured it out.

He stared at the boy, hoping that he would speak.

But the boy didn't say anything, just looked ahead calmly.

Tan Wenbin pretended to stretch out his right hand, but did not stretch it all the way up. There was still some distance from the edge of the railing. As long as the boy nodded, he would grab Zheng Haiyang and pull him to a safe place.

Li Zhuiyuan patted Runsheng's arm, and Runsheng immediately raised his hand and slapped away Tan Wenbin's hand that was about to reach out.

Tan Wenbin widened his eyes. He didn’t dare to look at Li Zhuiyuan anymore. He just knelt down quietly, his face full of struggle and pain.

Zheng Haiyang's grandparents were getting closer, but Zheng Haiyang had lost his ability to react and was 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 was also backing away, but he reached out and grabbed Tan Wenbin's clothes.

Tan Wenbin fell to the ground and was dragged away.

For fear of disturbing Zheng Haiyang by making any noise, Tan Wenbin had to hold back his emotions, but tears and snot had already flowed.

After retreating a distance, Li Zhuiyuan stopped and stood behind Runsheng, just sticking his head out and continuing to look in the direction of the dam.

Runsheng pushed 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 more hesitation or struggle.

This made Li Zhuiyuan feel both surprised and somewhat reasonable.

Perhaps, this is Tan Wenbin's style. He can be fragile like ordinary people, but after being fragile, he can quickly adjust himself and become strong.

"Ye Gong loves dragons" is a derogatory term, but daring to keep pursuing "Ye Gong loves dragons" is also an excellent quality.

Zheng Haiyang's grandparents finally came to him.

However, Zheng Haiyang's originally lost eyes suddenly became determined. He reached out and took the knife from his grandmother, turned around and faced outside the dam, and threw it in the direction of Li Zhuiyuan and the other two.

Runsheng swung the Yellow River shovel, and with a "bang", the kitchen knife was blocked and flew out.

Zheng Haiyang's grandfather also raised a kitchen knife and smashed it over, but unfortunately, the old man was old and in poor health, and the kitchen knife fell to the ground one meter in front of the three people.

Then, 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 people and one young person swayed gently with the wind.

Water continued to seep out of their eyes, ears, mouths and noses, completely soaking their clothes.

Tan Wenbin was shocked. Although he had guessed what had happened when Xiaoyuan retreated, he still found it difficult to accept the facts and the truth when they were laid out before him.

My good friend was also controlled?
Zheng Haiyang was so close to the railing before, wasn't he trying to tempt me to reach out and pull him?
And if I really reach out to grab him and save him, what will be my fate?

No, if Runsheng hadn't slapped away his outstretched arm, at the previous distance, Zheng Haiyang would have been able to pick up the kitchen knife and turn around to hit him.

If Xiaoyuan hadn't distanced himself in time, it would have been difficult to defend against these two kitchen knives.

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 thinking about it now, maybe something was wrong with Zheng Haiyang at that time.

"Brother Xiaoyuan... have you seen it a long time ago?"

There are two matches, one of which was lit by Runsheng and Tan Wenbin. Then who lit the other match that attracted me?
Just as he was about to break open the living room door and go out, Zheng Haiyang screamed at the right time, attracting him to turn back and rescue him.

He escaped from the door and left the range of "Night", but Zheng Haiyang was able to escape from the living room door and came to the dam.

Who is this performance for?

The level of the person who sets the question is not very high, and his intention is not difficult to guess.

But all this was just Li Zhuiyuan's feeling and guess. He had no evidence to prove that Zheng Haiyang had been manipulated to stand on that side.

The real reason why he did not help was because he did not want to gamble.

He and Zheng Haiyang don't have that good a relationship, nor are they that close friends, so there's no need for him to take such a big risk just to save him.

It's not like Runsheng and I had never taken risks before and had almost capsized the boat, but that was an experience we chose to take, unlike being forced into it.

However, this reason is not suitable to be told to Tan Wenbin, as it would make him even more sad.

Therefore, Li Zhuiyuan responded calmly:

"Ah."

Tan Wenbin gritted his teeth, pointed at the dam ahead, and asked, "Brother Xiaoyuan, can they still be saved?"

Li Zhuiyuan looked towards the corner of the dam and the door frame of the house, but could no longer find his talisman paper.

"I don't know what supports the 'darkness' inside, but it shouldn't last too long. At the very least, after daybreak, things will return to normal here."

Tan Wenbin couldn't bear it and said, "No...no hope?"

Zheng Haiyang had just lost his parents, and now he was going to lose his grandparents, no, even himself...

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 him.

Moreover, looking through the books written by Wei Zhengdao, there is no mention that after a person turns into that kind of thing, he can change back again.

If there was such a method, the person buried under the peach tree would have used it on himself long ago.

Li Zhuiyuan could now try to use the methods in the black book to control one of the two old men and one young man, but there was no point in doing so.

Tan Wenbin wiped his face hard and clenched his teeth.

What came to my ears was the words Zheng Haiyang shouted when he suddenly fainted with water pouring out of his body after school:

"There is a turtle buried under the sea. Anyone who dares to dig it up will have his whole family killed!"

What on earth is that thing on the seabed that is so cruel?

This is true. No one will be spared. The whole family will die!
Suddenly, Li Zhuiyuan's ears trembled slightly.

Runsheng also turned around and instinctively protected the boy behind him.

A figure is running quickly.

He ran very fast, like a cheetah.

However, he was running towards the dam from another direction and did not pass by the three of them.

"Xiaoyuan?"

Li Zhuiyuan did not respond. He did not think it was necessary to ask Runsheng to intercept this person who suddenly appeared.

In fact, the area where the three of them were currently located was not easy for ordinary people from outside to enter, otherwise Tan Yunlong and the others would have already noticed that something was wrong inside and rushed over.

At this moment, the running man suddenly turned his head and looked over.

Half of his face was severely swollen, and his eyeballs seemed to have been squeezed out long ago, leaving only empty, dark eye sockets.

But he seemed to be smiling.

His one eye also focused on himself among the three people.

Li Zhuiyuan didn't know him, but the other person's gaze told him that he seemed to recognize him.

An answer, the answer to the other person's identity, rises in my heart.

Zhu Changyong!
The person who had followed Zheng Haiyang's parents into the underwater area and then came ashore.

This is also the person Xu Wen is trying hard to find.

Although he is still strong and healthy, he no longer looks like a human being.

But why did he appear at this time?
Li Zhuiyuan turned his head to look at the dam again, and he suddenly realized that the hostile relationship... seemed to be wrong.

Zhu Changyong jumped onto the dam and entered the "darkness".

His arms began to grope, and he seemed to have difficulty adjusting for a moment, but he soon laughed. It was a very strange laugh, probably because there was something wrong with his vocal cords.

He is now like a piece of rotten meat in a human shape that is constantly deteriorating.

Zheng Haiyang and his grandparents all faced him.

Zhu Changyong rushed forward, the darkness was of no use to him.

He rushed towards Zheng Haiyang's grandfather and knocked him down with a punch. Then, facing Zheng Haiyang's grandmother and Zheng Haiyang himself who pounced on him and bit him, he quickly knocked them over.

He was very skilled. If it was him who attacked the three of them in the house in the dark, they would have no chance of coming out alive.

On the dam, it was like four mad beasts were fighting, but the King of Beasts successfully suppressed three of them.

Zhu Changyong pried open Zheng Haiyang's mouth and put his hand directly in. Soon, when he took his hand back, he was holding a small living creature in his hand.

"Come on!"

Zhu Changyong pulled the thing out and tore it apart.

Then they attacked Zheng Haiyang's grandparents. The two elderly people were scared and tried to escape like crazy, but were knocked to the ground again.

Zhu Changyong also took out a living thing from his grandmother's mouth and twisted it apart.

Finally, my grandfather stood up with his neck straight, and a tumor appeared on his neck.

Because the height was high enough and the angle was clear, Li Zhuiyuan and the other two could see the thing that escaped from its mouth even from a distance. It was a baby turtle.

But unlike other baby turtles, its shell is gray-purple, reflecting strange patterns in the moonlight.

As soon as the baby turtle crawled out, Zhu Changyong leaped forward and grabbed it. As he landed, he pulled its head out of the shell. After pulling it out for a long time, he finally broke it with a "click"!

Immediately, Zhu Changyong ran into the house, and soon he ran out grabbing the tripod.

He lifted the tripod and smashed it hard against the sharp corner of the concrete fence at the edge of the dam.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Under the continuous forceful impact, the tripod cracked.

A turtle as big as a bowl flew out and landed directly on Zhu Changyong's chest.

The clothes were torn instantly, and Zhu Changyong's chest could be seen to be sunken.

Zhu Changyong reached out several times to pull it off, but to no avail. The turtle seemed to know what the consequences would be if it broke free, so it clung to Zhu Changyong like a suction cup.

"what!!!!!"

Zhu Changyong stretched out his arms, raised his head, and roared like a wild wolf. At this moment, his skin and flesh began to crack.

But he immediately lowered his head, jumped off the dam, and started running again.

It’s almost the same route, returning the same way.

When he passed the previous location, he still turned his head and glanced at the boy.

"Brother Runsheng, catch up!"

"it is good!"

Runsheng bent down and Li Zhuiyuan jumped up.

Runsheng also started running.

But even though Runsheng was running very fast, his shoulder blades hit Li Zhuiyuan again and again when he swung his arms, causing pain, but he still couldn't catch up with Zhu Changyong, and was gradually left behind by him.

Because Zhu Changyong's running posture is no longer human-like.

Normal humans simply cannot swing and twist their joints like this.

At this time, Li Zhuiyuan heard the sound of a motorcycle starting, turned around and saw that it was Tan Yunlong.

Although sufficient preliminary investigation was done, the development of the matter is still unbelievable.

This reminded Li Zhuiyuan of what Tan Yunlong had said to him yesterday: There will be many bizarre twists and turns in handling a case, and what brings about the bizarreness is not the case itself but the people involved in the case.

But in the end, at the conclusion, it returned to the established "right track".

Tan Yunlong finally waited for Zhu Changyong whom he was looking for.

However, Zhu Changyong was not running on the road. He took a very strange route and went into the woods. Li Zhuiyuan looked at him from a distance and saw that he was going to the river!
Tan Yunlong’s motorcycle soon became unusable, so he had to abandon it aside and start running after the man.

But Zhu Changyong's speed in the woods did not slow down but increased. When Li Zhuiyuan Runsheng and Tan Yunlong chased him out of the woods, they saw that the other party had appeared in the sand mining site by the river below.

Nowadays, environmental protection has not received enough attention. Sand mining sites are everywhere and are very active. Even at night, the machines are still running.

Zhu Changyong stood at the machine gate, turned around and looked at the three people chasing him.

It seemed that he had no intention of continuing to escape; he was just waiting here on purpose.

At this time, the turtle, which was originally unwilling to leave his chest, became scared and wanted to escape, but Zhu Changyong held it in his arms and forcibly restrained it.

“Definitely…definitely…”

He tried to make a sound, but it was like a hoarse howl in the dark night.

He stared at Li Zhuiyuan with his one eye and continued to shout and express himself with all his might.

Originally, Li Zhuiyuan thought that the other party wanted to warn him and persuade him not to go to that seabed again.

However, what Zhu Changyong shouted was:
"I must...I must go there...and 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 had 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 such a situation.

Two workers at the sand mining site also heard the noise and walked over here. Tan Yunlong immediately ordered them to shut down the machines.

The machines stopped, but people were already everywhere.

Li Zhuiyuan and Runsheng returned to Zheng Haiyang's home and came to the dam.

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 person coming, then pointed to the three bodies lying on the ground in front of him:
"Brother Xiaoyuan, he's dead."

He ate the boiled shrimp, but he had never seen it being peeled.

He had seen death before and had also seen corpses in the river, but he had never experienced the bloody process unfolding right in front of him. Moreover, this time, the person who died was his good friend.

"Brother Binbin, this is the other side of the world you want to see. It's not as interesting and fun as you think."

"Um……"

"It's not too late for you to quit now."

Tan Wenbin was silent.

"Brother Runsheng, go get our things out and collect the talisman papers."

Tan Yunlong came up at this time and looked at his son kneeling on the ground with heartache in his eyes, 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 tell you, how will you report it?"

"I can only report what I saw, which was that Zhu Changyong committed suicide while escaping from the murder."

"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 about the facts. At that time, you can tell them your guess."

Tan Yunlong immediately thought of Yu Shu who had appeared not long ago. Last time, that person also brought people to accompany him to several places. It was obvious that the other party was not here to check on criminal investigation related matters.

"Xiaoyuan, will there be one?"

"Yes, Uncle Tan, you just need to report Zhu Changyong's name and tell them what he said before he died. Apart from the three of us, you don't have to hide anything, Uncle Tan."

"I see."

Tan Yunlong understood that sometimes, knowing the truth in advance would make it inconvenient to accept investigation and questioning.

The kid wasn't trying to hide it from him, but was thinking about him.

Li Zhuiyuan walked behind Tan Wenbin and patted him on the back:
"Brother Binbin, we'll go home first."

Runsheng was already waiting after putting the things on the tricycle, and Li Zhuiyuan got on the car.

The tricycle stopped not far after it drove out.

Because there was a man who caught the car from behind.

Li Zhuiyuan turned around and saw Tan Wenbin catching up with him. There was determination in his eyes, as if he had made some kind of resolution. He knew that the thing that really killed Zheng Haiyang came from the bottom of the sea.

For the first time, Tan Wenbin did not smile when he mentioned the nickname Li Sanjiang gave him. He said seriously:
"Why don't you wait for me? Zhuangzhuang also wants to go home."
