Chapter 23 The missing psychic beast

Chapter 22

Roach didn't know when he fell asleep, a skillful magic force lifted him up firmly and put him on the bed.

"Wonderful," he muttered vaguely. "If I had a full glass of beer, I wouldn't spill a single drop."

He heard Du Zhengyi's low laughter, and he was already half asleep when the door rang, knowing that it was Du Zhengyi who had walked out.

He rolled over and fell into a deeper sleep.For a while he just fell asleep comfortably, and after a while he heard someone singing again, like a girl's voice, he wanted to ask if Guan Xinyue was back, but his eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't lift it, and fell asleep again , but this time half asleep and half awake.

He felt that someone came in and sat down beside him. His footsteps were so heavy that it wasn't Guan Xinyue or Du Zhengyi's familiar feeling.The man picked up a book beside him, self-consciously announced that he would read to him, and then began to tell Grimm's fairy tales, but each one was darker than the other.He vaguely remembered that it was the original version of the Grimm's fairy tale.

He moaned in his dream, wishing the man to get out of here quickly, but the man's voice stubbornly recited, and finally changed from a story to a poor prose poem.

"God said: You are brothers.

Erinka says: ...and sisters.

God said: Well, then, for example, the fruits produced on the same tree, you all come from the same source, and your roots suck the water from the same river.One of you was born in the sunny treetops, and the other shyly hid in the shade of the branches and leaves, but you are equally sweet.

Erinka sat on a tall tree, the sun kissed her forehead, and the wind took away the sweat from the tip of her nose.

God said: You were awakened 7 years ago and broke away from the group.Too bad your numbers aren't big enough, an unsuccessful species... will eventually decline.

She stood up, leaning on the tree trunk, looking at the distant field.

Erinka said: Please accept our sacrifice, 33 temples will ring the bells, we will offer the spears of the enemy, 330 days and nights we will chant in unison, vermilion kites fly across the nether world On the river, the lamp burners are on the river to meet and guide, and the ferrymen have already returned. "

Consciousness continued to sink and float, and the voice of reading was fragmented.

He had a terrible headache, and suddenly remembered who the man was speaking, and opened his eyes suddenly. In the dark room, the man stood by the bed and looked at him sadly.

He shuddered, "Am I already dead?"

The man shook his head mournfully, with a compassionate expression, like a monk. "I killed him, I had to kill him, there was nothing I could do."

"Who did you kill?" Roach asked pantingly, but when he blurted out the question, he vaguely felt that he knew the answer, and his head suddenly felt so painful that it was about to split open.He painfully forced himself to start thinking, but in fact he didn't need to think about it at all. The answer was obvious, "You killed Du Zhengyi? Why?"

He struggled desperately to see Li Xu clearly in the dark.The man looked back at him inscrutablely, his black eyes were like an abyss.

"What?" Roach thought briefly about the bullshit he was talking about, his chest cramping, and then he realized it wasn't pain, it was anger and grief tangled violently.

This is not right... He muttered, suddenly a loud noise shattered his world, he opened his eyes suddenly, and the wound in his chest caused by the violent panting began to ache again.

He vaguely saw a shadow nimbly gliding past his face, and then the curtains were jerked open.

Then the strong light seemed to explode in the room, and he covered his eyes and let out a cry of pain.The mattress heaved under him, and someone jumped onto his bed.

"Roach!" It was the girl's mischievous scream, which clearly pierced his eardrums, no longer the vagueness in the nightmare.

Roach woke up and yelled angrily, "Why are you back again? Didn't I say that if there is any progress, I will notify you on WeChat?"

The room was silent for a minute, and a hand stroked his forehead.

"What's wrong with you?" Guan Xinyue lowered her voice, "Why is your face so ugly?"

She sniffed the air like a puppy. "Hospital. Are you hurt?"

Roach remembered that she was a doctor's daughter. He took away his hand that covered his eyes, and a large swath of sunlight fell on his face, and the gloomy dream just now disappeared.As if two worlds were switching in front of him, he was like a computer that couldn't keep up, stuck on the spinning loading interface.Although the violent emotions disappeared, they still left some shadows.

He opened his eyes wide and breathed softly, staring motionless at the dust dancing in the sun, the brighter the world became clearer, the darker the dream world, and he knew that the details of the dream would fade away after a while Exhausted.

"Have you met Du Zhengyi?" Luo Qi tried his best to focus on Guan Xinyue's face. Today she combed her hair into a ponytail, and her complexion seems to be much better than the previous few days. She may finally be able to sleep sleepy.

She shook her head, "I received a WeChat message from him in the morning - it was sent to me on your mobile phone. Let me buy this for you!"

She turned around, picked up a shopping bag from the ground and gave him a look, which probably contained clothes.

Roach sat up from the bed and collected himself.

Guan Xinyue tugged at the frog sewn on his pocket curiously and disgustingly, "Where did you buy your pajamas?"

Luo Qi ignored her, "I'll look for Du Zhengyi, he should have finished his work. What time is it?"

It is already 11:30 clock.

Roach became anxious. If the temple hadn't given a new task of catching mad dogs, then Du Zhengyi should have come back. He has nowhere to go here.If he had completed the task by himself, it shouldn't be so quiet outside now, it should have been flying around long ago.

Sitting up made him feel a little nauseous, so he insisted on getting off the bed and went to wash in a daze.Guan Xinyue has been observing him, following him to the door of the bathroom, "Could it be that you were bitten by a mad dog?"

Luo Qi closed the bathroom door in front of her. His combat effectiveness has declined a bit today, and he doesn't even have the strength to fight back.

Guan Xinyue knocked on the door, "I'm serious! Have you gone to the CDC to get vaccinated?"

Luo Qi splashed cold water on his face and tried his best to ignore Guan Xinyue. He didn't believe that Guan Xinyue was serious about making suggestions. She had been trying her best to provoke him.Before he finished washing his face, Guan Xinyue suddenly yelled again, "Ah, the boss is back!"

He hastily turned off the tap, wiped it hastily and ran out.At this moment, Du Zhengyi's shadow swayed into the corridor, Guan Xinyue followed him briskly, she hadn't seen him for two days, she was not as afraid of Du Zhengyi as she was at the beginning.

Before he had time to completely dispel that ominous dream, he realized that Du Zhengyi's face was really stinking right now.

"What's the matter?" He blurted out, his nerves tensed up again, and his gaze couldn't help turning up and down on Du Zhengyi.

Du Zhengyi probably saw what he was thinking, and his expression changed suddenly.Roach has already begun to get acquainted with him, and knows that genius basically has only two modes of operation, "a wise and silent machine—an impatient second kicker", and his neurotic concern must be regarded as a major insult to genius.The genius might just have a little trouble this morning, and he unconsciously triggered the critical condition for the genius's "second kicker" to explode.

Luo Qi was not a brave person, so he took a step back subconsciously, for fear that Du Zhengyi would lose his temper with him now and call him a bloody squirt.

However, his frightened cowardice also reminded Du Zhengyi that the latter closed his mouth gently again, and his anger dropped a lot when he opened his mouth again, "Someone killed all the dogs."

"What?" Luo Qi exclaimed in shock, Guan Xinyue also gasped when he saw Guan Xinyue out of the corner of his eye.

Guan Xinyue's face became very ugly, "Could they have already eaten your dog?"

Luo Qi looked at Guan Xinyue in astonishment. Judging from her expression that she was about to throw up, she must be serious.He felt that her speculation might have some basis, after all, she must have a better understanding of the folk customs here. "Can the villagers here deal with psychic beasts?"

Du Zhengyi was heartbroken when he saw Luo Qi's expression, "She doesn't understand the situation, are you really stupid?"

Luo Qi came back to his senses and finally got on the track, and the creepiness in the dream returned. "Have other mages come here?"

Du Zheng nodded.
