- #170 - Chapter 170 Pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger
There are five places where the suspected strange thing first appeared.
After reading the map sent by Wu Huai, Yu Ke decisively chose Qingya Ridge.
If nothing else, this place is a famous tourist attraction in Shanqing City. The “ridge” in the name is actually a giant shopping mall built on the mountain. It has nine floors in total and has all kinds of shops. Opposite it is the Kuangkuang Mall. On the river side, you can enjoy mountain and river views in the city.
In the past, Yu Ke had only seen it on short video software, but now that he has arrived in Shanqing City, there is no reason not to visit.
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 the latter refused.
Yu Ke’s investigation does not require help from others, and protection is out of the question.
Whether the ordinary members of the Special Service Section protected Yu Ke or Yu Ke protected them is another question.
At nine o’clock in the morning, Yu Ke arrived at Qingyaling Scenic Area.
Today happens to be Saturday, it’s sunny weather that I haven’t seen in a long time, and the streets are full of tourists.
The era of great catastrophe made ordinary people no longer dare to leave the city at will, but it also caused a large number of people to gather together. The people in Shanqing City must have a place to relax during the holidays.
Yu Ke, who had changed into regular clothes, wore black-rimmed glasses and loosened his hair a little, easily blended into the crowd. He wandered around with the flow of people, glancing at his phone from time to time to confirm the detailed location where the strange thing first appeared.
According to the information provided by the Disaster Prevention Bureau, the strange thing that appeared in Qingyaling was a three-meter-tall ghost with a face covered in clothes made of yellow-green rags and holding an oil-paper umbrella. It will make a “knock~” sound when the horse’s hooves hit the ground.
The location is on the viewing platform at the top of the mall.
Taking the escalator to the top of the shopping mall, Yu Ke walked out of the door holding the pancakes and milk tea he bought on the way.
The warm sunshine mixed with the cool breeze came oncoming.
Many tourists crowded in the edge area and kept taking photos of the river view. Yu Ke took advantage of his height to look at it for a few times and then stopped paying attention and turned to the mountain path on the other side of the top platform.
That is the special scenic spot at the top of Qingya Ridge, which can reach directly to the top of the mountain behind.
Yu Ke didn’t rush to the top. Instead, he found a snack shop open on the platform near the mountain trail, entered and sat down.
After casually ordering some steamed snacks, Yu Ke looked at the investigation reports from the Disaster Prevention Bureau sent by Wu Huai on his mobile phone, and asked some questions when the waiter in the store delivered the snacks.
The results are not much different from those in the investigation report.
They all knew, or had heard of, paranormal activity happening at the observation deck.
It’s just that because the weird stay was very short at first, and now a curfew has been implemented, it is limited to various rumors and does not affect their work during the day.
Paranormal events are nothing unusual in this day and age.
After all, it is a scenic spot, with people coming and going every day. The huge workload makes it too late for the employees here to do the work at hand. As long as the work continues, there is no special announcement from the Disaster Prevention Bureau, and relevant rumors will soon forgotten.
Not to mention that it has been nearly a month since the strange first appeared.
Without knowing whether the monster codenamed “Ghost” is the first monster, it is not easy to figure out the reason for its birth.
While Yu Ke was drinking milk tea and wondering where to start the investigation, the store door behind him was pushed open.
Suddenly, the originally noisy laughter in the store seemed to have been pressed on the pause button.
Yu Ke, who was thinking, noticed the change in the environment and couldn’t help but raise his head to check. He soon noticed that all the men in the store were looking behind him and turned around following their gazes.
I don’t know when a beautiful figure appeared at the door of the store.
Frankly speaking, this was the first time Yu Ke had seen a woman more beautiful than Anseli.
The appearance and figure of the two may be almost the same, but the woman in front of her obviously knows how to exude her charm better.
Her long hair dyed burgundy is shawl, windproof goggles are pushed up to her forehead, her makeup is delicate, her tight motorcycle suit outlines her exquisite curves vividly, her straight long legs are paired with leather boots, and the deep ravine behind the zipper on her chest is even more Captivating.
No wonder the eyes of the men in the store almost popped out of their heads. Even Yu Ke couldn’t help but take a second look.
Men all have eyes that like to appreciate beauty, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
But with these two eyes, Yu Ke keenly felt that his will was affected, so that the [Spiritual Awakening] trait was passively activated to help him maintain the balance and stability of his mind.
Beautiful “breathtaking” has become a verb?
At this moment, the woman at the door looked around and met Yu Ke’s eyes. She immediately took a step forward and approached Yu Ke. When she walked in front of the latter, she bowed close to her face and exhaled like a orchid.
“I’m waiting for you outside. I have something I want to tell you privately. Come~”
After the woman finished speaking, she turned around and left the shop, causing all the men to sigh with regret and cast jealous eyes on Yu Ke who had been “favored”.
To find such a beautiful girlfriend, she must be a
Yu Ke stood up, with a strong body and even though he was wearing glasses, he still had a somewhat cold and aggressive appearance. His loose, ear-length black hair did not make him look like a girl, but rather like a lazy male. lion.
Everyone fell silent again.
The women who were still lecturing their boyfriends or husbands also changed their attention.
After checking out and leaving the snack bar, Yu Ke made sure that the other person was not from the Disaster Prevention Bureau, otherwise he would not have that attitude.
Want to use supernatural powers to influence his mind as soon as they meet, you don’t know how 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?”
Holding Yu Ke’s arm very familiarly, the woman asked softly while pulling him to the mountain path next to her.
“Tang Bin, what about you?”
“Liu Ruoying, let’s go for a walk in the mountains, okay?”
Whispering softly, Liu Ruoying’s free hand swept across Yu Ke’s waist, and did not find any weapons. At the same time, she took Yu Ke away from the crowd gathered on the viewing platform and headed to the mountain path with lush vegetation next to her.
The tourists around saw the intimacy of the two and thought they were just a couple. They looked at them for a few times and then stopped paying attention.
After leaving the viewing platform, Liu Ruoying did not take Yu Ke to the mountain path with various protections in the scenic area, but took him into the jungle in a hidden place and took a remote path.
Stepping into the deep forest, the familiar feeling made Yu Ke feel like he was back in his comfort zone.
However, 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, one squatting and one standing in the forest.
The squatting one was a young man with a cigarette in his mouth. He was 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, wearing a fashionable leather jacket, squinting at Yu Ke.
“The person is here. It’s him. He helped the Disaster Prevention Bureau investigate the Hundred Demons Night Parade incident 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 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 colder. Obviously, she was not satisfied with this easy operation.
It’s no wonder they don’t know. Although Yu Ke is famous on the Internet, few people have actually seen him. In addition, the transformation ceremony has changed his body shape and appearance, and the official website of the Disaster Prevention Bureau only has photos of him taken when he joined the company.
On this trip to Shanqing City, only a group of senior executives and Wu Huai and others knew Yu Ke’s identity and whereabouts.
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 situation 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 this 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 I 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, so 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 eagle cry interrupted his plan.
“You are joking. No matter how many tricks I have, can I compare with the two-headed dragon in the secret cave?”
Liu Ruoying sat sideways on the ground covered with fallen leaves, glanced at the fat man rolling on the ground in pain, and asked helplessly.
To put it bluntly, Yiren is an extraordinary person who knows some special methods.
In the past, he might have been an immortal figure that was out of reach in the eyes of ordinary people, but now is the era of great catastrophes, with strong men emerging in large numbers, and this man in front of him is a fierce man who can kill the two-headed dragon, the overlord of the cave, one-on-one.
Do you think your life will be long if you are playing cat and mouse with the forest rangers in this barren mountain?
