Chapter 170 Playing Pigs and Eating Tigers
There are five locations where the suspected strange monster first appeared.
After reading the map sent by Wu Huai, Yu Ke decisively chose Qingyaling.
For no other reason, this place is a famous tourist attraction in Shanqing City. The "Ling" in the name is actually a giant shopping mall built on the mountain. It has a total of nine floors and all kinds of shops. Opposite it is a wide river, where you can enjoy the mountain and river views in the city.
In the past, Yu Ke only saw it on short video software. Now that he has arrived in Shanqing City, there is no reason not to go there.
Wu Huai was overjoyed when he learned that Yu Ke agreed to participate in the investigation. He thought of sending two team members to assist, but was rejected by the latter.
Yu Ke's investigation does not require help from others, let alone protection.
In the past, whether the ordinary team members of the Special Service Department protected Yu Ke or Yu Ke protected them is another matter.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Yu Ke arrived at the Qingyaling Scenic Area.
Today is Saturday, and it is sunny again. The streets are full of tourists.
The era of the Great Cataclysm made ordinary people dare not leave the city at will, but it also made a large number of people gather together. People in Shanqing City always have to have a place to relax during holidays.
Yu Ke, who changed into casual clothes, wore black-framed glasses and slightly scattered his hair. He easily blended into the crowd and wandered around with the flow of people. From time to time, he looked at his mobile phone to confirm the detailed location of the first appearance of the strange monster.
According to the information provided by the Disaster Prevention Bureau, the strange monster that appeared in Qingyaling is a ghost messenger who is three meters tall, wearing clothes made of yellow-green tattered strips, masked, holding an oil-paper umbrella, and walking. It will make a "knock-knock~" sound when the horse's hooves step on the ground.
The location is on the observation platform at the top of the mall.
Taking the escalator to the top floor of the mall, Yu Ke walked out of the door with the pancakes and milk tea bought halfway.
The warm sunshine mixed with the cool breeze came towards him.
Many tourists crowded in the edge area, constantly taking pictures of the river view. Yu Ke relied on his height to look at it for a few times and then stopped paying attention, and turned to the mountain road on the other side of the top platform.
That is the characteristic scenic spot at the top of Qingyaling, which can directly reach the top of the mountain behind.
Yu Ke did not rush to the top, but found a snack shop opened here near the mountain road on the platform, entered the door and sat down.
After ordering some steamed special snacks, Yu Ke looked at the investigation report of the Disaster Prevention Bureau here sent by Wu Huai on his mobile phone, and asked some questions when the waiter in the store brought the snacks.
The result was not much different from the investigation report.
They all knew, or heard that supernatural phenomena had occurred on the observation deck.
However, because the strange monster stayed for a very short time at the beginning, and now a curfew has been implemented, it is limited to various groundless rumors, which does not affect their daytime work.
Supernatural events are not rare in this era.
After all, it is a scenic spot, with people coming and going every day. The huge workload makes the employees here too busy to do their work. As long as the work continues and there is no special announcement from the Disaster Prevention Bureau, the relevant rumors will soon be forgotten.
Not to mention that it has been nearly a month since the first appearance of the monster.
Under the premise of not knowing whether the monster code-named "Ghost Messenger" is the first monster, it is not easy to find out the reason for its birth.
Just as Yu Ke was drinking milk tea and thinking about where to start the investigation, the door behind him was pushed open.
Suddenly, the noisy laughter in the store seemed to be paused.
Yu Ke, who was thinking, noticed the change in the environment and couldn't help but look up to check. He soon noticed that all the men in the store were looking behind him, and turned around along their line of sight.
I don't know when a beautiful figure appeared at the door of the store.
To be honest, this is the first time Yu Ke has seen a woman more beautiful than Ansai Li.
The two may look similar, but the woman in front of him clearly knows how to exude her charm.
Her long hair dyed burgundy is draped over her shoulders, her windproof goggles are pushed up to her forehead, her makeup is gorgeous, and her tight motorcycle suit outlines her exquisite curves to the fullest. Her straight long legs are matched with leather boots, and the deep grooves behind the zipper on her chest are even more breathtaking.
No wonder the men in the store are almost staring at her, even Yu Ke can't help but take a few more glances.
Men, after all, all have a pair of eyes that like to appreciate beauty, there's nothing wrong with that.
But with these two glances, Yu Ke keenly felt that his will was affected, so that the [Spiritual Awakening] trait was passively activated, helping him maintain the balance and stability of his mind.
The beauty of "captivating". Has it become a verb?
At this moment, the woman at the door looked around, met Yu Ke's eyes, and then took a step towards Yu Ke. When she reached the latter, she leaned close to his face, exhaling sweetly,
"I'll wait for you outside. I have something to tell you. Come~"
After the woman finished speaking, she turned around and left the store, causing a group of men to sigh with regret, and cast jealous eyes on Yu Ke who was "favored".
To find such a beautiful girlfriend, it must be a
Yu Ke stood up. His sturdy body and glasses still revealed a bit of indifference and aggressive look. His loose black hair did not make him look like a sissy, but rather like a lazy lion.
Everyone fell silent again.
The women who were originally lecturing their boyfriends or husbands also shifted their attention.
After paying the bill and leaving the snack bar, Yu Ke was sure that the other party was not from the Disaster Prevention Bureau, otherwise he would not have that attitude.
He wanted to use his extraordinary abilities to influence his mind as soon as he met him. He didn't know whether to live or die!
Thinking so in his heart, Yu Ke's eyes showed a bit of dullness when he stepped out of the door, staring at the woman standing outside the door.
"You look familiar, like my first love boyfriend. What's your name?"
The woman took Yu Ke's arm very familiarly, and asked softly while pulling him to the mountain path next to her.
"Tang Bin, what about you?"
"Liu Ruoying, shall we go for a walk in the mountains?"
While whispering, Liu Ruoying's free hand brushed across Yu Ke's waist, but she didn't find any weapons. At the same time, she took Yu Ke away from the crowd gathered on the viewing platform and headed for the mountain road with lush vegetation next to it.
The tourists around saw the intimacy between the two and thought they were just a couple. After a few glances, they stopped paying attention.
After leaving the viewing platform, Liu Ruoying did not take Yu Ke to the mountain road with various protections in the scenic area, but took him into the jungle in a hidden place and took a secluded path.
Walking into the deep forest, the familiar feeling made Yu Ke feel like he was back in his comfort zone.
But his expression and movements still matched Liu Ruoying's actions. He wanted to see where this guy came from.
Not long after, Yu Ke sensed two breaths in front of him. When he passed a bush, he saw two people squatting and standing in the forest.
The squatting man was a young man with a cigarette in his mouth, pruning a weed with a short knife in his hand, cutting off the leaves but not letting the stem move at all. Standing under the tree next to him was a fat middle-aged man in a fashionable leather jacket, squinting at Yu Ke.
"The person is here, it's him, the one who helped the Disaster Prevention Bureau investigate the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons at the crossroads yesterday. He should know a lot of inside information. His exact identity has not been found yet, but judging from the fact that he still has the leisure to go out and travel, he should not be an important person, otherwise he would have been called to participate in the investigation long ago."
Liu Ruoying let go of Yu Ke's arm, and her tone gradually became cold. Obviously, she was not satisfied with this easy operation.
It's no wonder that they didn't know. Although Yu Ke was famous on the Internet, few people had actually seen him. In addition, the transformation ceremony changed his body shape and appearance, and the official website of the Disaster Prevention Bureau only had photos taken when he joined the company.
Only a group of senior executives and Wu Huai knew Yu Ke's identity and whereabouts during this trip to Shanqing City.
Who would have thought that a forest ranger from Jinghang City would appear in Shanqing City?
"It doesn't matter who he is. What's important is the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. You should have received the news on the street. Monsters that appeared out of nowhere began to invade the world, attracting the attention of the Disaster Prevention Bureau. Now only the investigation team is chasing us. This is a great opportunity."
The fat man took two steps forward and looked at Yu Ke, and then said,
"As long as we know the investigation direction and action plan of the Disaster Prevention Bureau, we may be able to take advantage of the opportunity and take back the Double Pupil Technique. At worst, we can know when it is easiest to withdraw and won't be blocked halfway!"
"Hehe, it sounds interesting. You, an old man, have so many tricks that you can find a breakthrough in such a place. Liu Ruoying, it's up to you to get all the things in his mind out."
The young man stood up, tossed the short knife in his hand up and down, turned his eyes to Liu Ruoying and said.
"Don't forget the conditions you promised before. Since you have come to me, no matter whether you can get the double pupil technique or not, I must have everything I want, otherwise don't blame me for being cruel."
After the voice fell, Liu Ruoying walked towards Yu Ke again, and a powder mist flowed from her fingertips and drifted towards the latter's mouth and nose.
Cry!
Just when she was about to succeed, a loud eagle cry suddenly came from the sky.
"Feng Falcon, how come you are so fast? Take the people away and do it in another place!"
Hearing the eagle cry, the faces of the three people were a little ugly. The young man turned around and left with a low shout. Liu Ruoying winked at the fat man, who immediately stepped forward quickly and stretched out his hand to grab Yu Ke's shoulder, trying to carry him directly on his body.
Before he touched Yu Ke, he saw that the latter's eyes under the frame suddenly became sharp, and then there was a sharp pain in his left arm. He looked down and found that a gray-white dagger was stuck in it.
"Tsk, you really alerted the enemy. Forget it, catching the two of you should be enough."
Yu Ke, who first crippled one of the opponent's arms, kicked the fat man's right leg and made him lose his ability to move. Then he turned around and looked at the woman who was retreating and preparing to escape.
The Forest Spirit Mark flashed a faint light, and the Black Thorn Longbow was in hand, and the bow was bent and the arrow was drawn.
"I remember, you Yu Ke?"
Liu Ruoying saw the iconic bow and arrow in Yu Ke's hand and quickly realized that she might have kicked the iron plate this time.
No wonder she thought this face was familiar before!
Yu Ke didn't waste any words, adjusted the direction of the arrow, and aimed at Liu Ruoying's right leg.
"Wait, don't do it, I surrender."
Sensing Yu Ke's murderous intention, Liu Ruoying knelt on the ground without saying a word and performed a standard French military salute.
So decisive?
Yu Ke turned his head to look at Liu Ruoying, frowning and asked,
"After all, they are aliens, they should have many tricks, why don't you try to escape?"
From the conversation between these people just now, Yu Ke was basically sure that they were the aliens Wu Huai mentioned earlier. He wanted to take this opportunity to learn more information, but the plan was interrupted by the eagle cry.
"You are joking, no matter how many tricks I have, can I compare with the two-headed dragon in the secret realm of the cave?"
Liu Ruoying sat sideways on the ground full of fallen leaves, glanced at the fat man rolling on the ground in pain, and asked helplessly.
To put it bluntly, a strange person is just an extraordinary person with some special skills.
In the past, he might be a god-like figure that ordinary people could not reach, but now it is the era of the Great Cataclysm, and there are many strong people. The one in front of him is even a fierce man who can kill the two-headed dragon, the overlord of the cave, one-on-one.
Do you think you are too old to play cat and mouse with the ranger hunter in this desolate mountain?
