Fog Formula-Warning Book of Fog City Search Chief's Strange Talk

Finally, when the sun was about to set and the sky was covered with sunset, Jian Shenxiu and Markesias finally pushed aside the last blade of grass blocking them, and came to the dilapidated forest hut.

It was an old log cabin, the kind that people used to build to store farm tools. The whole house is made of cheap pine wood, covering an area of ​​about six square meters, with only one floor. Looking inside through the gaps in the wood, you can see the lawn mowers, chainsaws, other utensils and piled grass placed inside.

The cabin seemed to have been neglected for a long time. The perimeter of the house is full of weeds, the wood has been eroded by wind and rain, showing a rotten black, and there are holes left by insects everywhere. The utensils in the house are also heavily corroded, and you can see the obvious red rust on them just by peeping through the gaps. The door lock on the outside was so rusty that the chain eyes were blocked, and if you raised your hand to touch it, it would leave red rust marks on the gloves.

From the outside, this seems to be a storage room that was abandoned after Evernight. However, the objects placed inside have the potential to be used as murder weapons, and are very suitable for starring in various horror movies.

"This is the last suspected target. The three locations delineated by the satellite scan, plus the two locations discovered during the actual exploration. A total of five suspected locations."

Jian Shenxiu flicked the tablet in his hand, referring to the satellite scan image on it, comparing it with the building in front of him, and making notes carefully.

"From the perspective of location, they are not too far away, and one night is enough time for us to investigate them. However, the route needs to be determined in advance, otherwise if the fog stops abruptly like the last time, there may be halfway There is not enough time, and the other party is obviously taking precautions against us, we don't know how this defense is realized, and..."

Seeing that Shenxiu was talking, his voice gradually became weaker, because when he looked up from the screen, he suddenly found that Markesias next to him was not looking at him, but shifted his gaze to a certain corner next to him. This made Jian Shenxiu suddenly vigilant, and then shifted his gaze to the direction the young man was looking at.

"Did you find anything?"

The chief searcher held the tablet and asked his assistant, while looking around, looking for possible dangers.

At this moment, the shadows of the sun are sinking and the twilight is gathering. In the understanding of the rumors in the market, this is called the moment of encountering the devil. In the understanding of the search bureau, it is also a time when strange stories frequently occur, and it is a classic time for many rumors in the market.

"Ah, no, nothing."

After hearing Jian Shenxiu's question, Markesias seemed to be relieved suddenly. He looked away, shook his head subconsciously, seemed a little hesitant, and seemed hesitant to speak.

"Tell me what you find." Jian Shenxiu frowned slightly, dissatisfied with the boy's faltering, "It's okay if you're not sure."

"I just...seemed to see a rabbit."

After hearing the encouragement from Jian Shenxiu, Markesias seemed a little embarrassed, but he still slowly expressed his discovery. He also felt that this discovery seemed to have nothing to do with the case, so when he said it, he subconsciously pinched the corners of his clothes with a little timidity.

"Rabbit? We don't seem to have found anything related to rabbits so far."

Jian Shenxiu, who was still immersed in the case, didn't react to the hooded boy's answer at first, but seeing the boy's embarrassed expression, he seemed to understand something soon, and a softness flashed in his eyes. But the Chief Inspector didn't show this gentleness, instead he put on a serious face and shook his head slightly.

"We're working on a case now, Chas."

"Ah, I know." Facing Shenxiu's accusation, the young man seemed a little flustered, and quickly explained, "I just think that rabbit is a little strange, and it looks a little too white. It doesn't look like a wild gray rabbit, it's a bit It looks like a domestic rabbit. Well, I think this is a bit strange, how can there be domestic rabbits in this kind of woods."

"Domestic?"

This word caught my ears, but when I saw Shenxiu, I was suddenly taken aback, with a sharp flash in my eyes, and asked aloud.

"You mean domesticated? Are you sure?"

"...Hmm!" Markesias was taken aback by the question of seeing Shenxiu, but after thinking about it, he nodded vigorously and said with certainty, "It is indeed a domesticated rabbit with soft and white hair. It's obviously a rabbit that has been taken care of, not like a wild one."

Domestic rabbits, domestic rabbits, domestic rabbits...

Seeing that Shenxiu began to walk around with his head bowed in front of the young man. From the very beginning, this strange talk seemed weird everywhere. The other party somehow could distinguish their identities, somehow targeted them, and the people somehow avoided talking about all kinds of weird phenomena. Everything seemed abnormal, but everyone turned a blind eye to this abnormality, which always made Jian Shenxiu feel that someone was manipulating something behind his back.

A domesticated rabbit means that it is raised by "someone", which means that somewhere in this forest must be settled by someone. Who is behind that rabbit, you can't see the specific figure of "him", you can only pass through those people faintly. Clues to piece together the outline of "him".

Will the owner of the rabbit be the "person" hiding behind the scenes? Seeing Shenxiu looked at Markesias, and then at the distance behind him. Was the rabbit that appeared at this time a clue leaked by accident, or was it an intentional "invitation" by the person behind it?

"What's wrong?" Markesias didn't know what Jian Shenxiu was thinking, he just fell into deep thought after seeing Jian Shenxiu asked that question. So after waiting for a while, I finally couldn't help asking.

"The domesticated white rabbit reminds me of a story about dreaming in a fairyland." Jian Shenxiu remained silent, "In that story, the white rabbit is the messenger who guides the way."

"Huh?" Markesias was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why Jian Shenxiu mentioned this.

But seeing that Shenxiu had raised his head after saying this, he moved his gaze to the high distance in the sky. At this moment, the sun has completely set, leaving only the remaining sunset glow in the sky with a touch of orange red. The dark purple night has covered most of the sky, and stars have faintly emerged in the eastern sky.

This is the time to return to their nests. A large number of birds are flying in the sky. They can no longer see the details of their figures under the sky. They can only see rows of vague black shadows coming and going, with silhouettes of fluttering wings. .

In fact, after the eternal night, the saddest thing is these birds, right?

Jian Shenxiu suddenly thought of this matter. They are originally migratory birds, flying freely in the north and south of the world. However, after Eternal Night came, they were trapped in this narrow Xuejian Lake just like the creatures on the ground, with nowhere to hide, and could only be forced to change their habits. Fly in the sky in a hurry during the day, and return to the nest helplessly at night.

Homing. That's right, a creature with a home has a place to go back to at night, right?

so--

"Domestic rabbits have to go home at night, right?"

See Shenxiu say so. He put away the tablet in his hand, as if he had suddenly given up on the five suspected targets that he valued so much just now, and turned his head to look at Marchesias with piercing eyes.

"Where did that rabbit you mentioned go?"

"Let's follow."
