Trying to pretend to be human today

Chapter 166 Deep Pit
When Xia Chengyin walked in, what he saw was a colleague who was always on guard with a gun.

"Qi Zhuyue?" the inch-headed policeman shouted, "Are you here?"

Xia Chengyin looked around the hall, except for a "corpse" on the ground, he didn't see anyone else.

Or maybe not a person.

The inch-headed policeman clenched his fists tightly, assuming he was ready to punch at any time.

Qi Zhuyue turned her head when she heard the shout, her eyes lit up: "Senior Xia!"

At the same time, she saw Xia Chengyin's fighting posture, and quickly stood up and explained: "I saw a white shadow in front of me, but it seems to be my illusion."

"What you see at the ghost scene is not necessarily an illusion."

After listening to the explanation, Xia Chengyin vigilantly checked around the location Qi Zhuyue pointed to.

It is true that there is no other existence, but Xia Chengyin still retains his own opinion.

He walked back to Qi Zhuyue, looked at the two men lying at her feet, and when his eyes fell on one of them, he showed an indescribable expression.

To put it simply, it is a mixture of "why is it you again" and "I knew you had a problem".

Xia Chengyin looked down at the black-haired young man lying on his side.

The sleepy young man looked very quiet, with black hair and fair skin, the type that girls like nowadays, with his crumpled hair sticking to his face.

It looks very obedient, but Xia Chengyin knows that as long as the other party opens his eyes, the silent black will arouse his desire to explore.

After staring at the black-haired young man for a while, Xia Chengyin shifted his eyes to the other one when he saw that Qi Zhuyue, who was on the sidelines, showed a hesitant expression.

"An... An Xiangwen, right?" The other party's name was not called out for a short while, and this person was not ranked very high in Xia Chengyin's observation list.

It was entirely because Baisu had been paid attention to.

Xia Chengyin waved his hand and asked his local colleagues to take him away and send him to the hospital.

Although he really wanted to detain the person himself, he had other things to do right now.

"Hey, don't you want to follow?" Qi Zhuyue saw that the person was carried away on a stretcher, but Xia Chengyin stayed where she was, "Senior Xia?"

"Go to the place you care about." Xia Chengyin watched him leave the entrance of the main hall, retracted his gaze and pouted his chin, "You have been looking in a certain direction."

It's not surprising that the senior saw her thoughts, Qi Zhuyue was stunned for a moment, and replied: "I want to go to the back mountain to have a look." The front didn't go away because he wanted to help Xia Chengyin watch people.

Two members of the special department not directly under the local jurisdiction successfully slipped away, and they climbed out of the completely collapsed side wall.

There is no need to go through the door, the building without the ceiling is full of doors.

On the way to the back mountain, Qi Zhuyue seized the opportunity to talk about what he had seen and heard during the trip.

For example, a hotel that keeps the detection equipment ringing.

Xia Chengyin: "I know this. I wanted to find a hotel when I first arrived in the town, but I couldn't find it. The hotel has a big problem."

Qi Zhuyue: "Hey, can't you find it? I remember that Ms. Wang booked the room, do you want to ask her later?"

Xia Chengyin: "I have this plan."

Another example is the abnormal tiredness when climbing a mountain and the hallucinations when seeing a banyan tree.

Xia Chengyin: "We know the mountain, but the banyan tree...?"

Qi Zhuyue: "As for the very tall banyan tree in the temple, haven't you seen it, Senior Xia? The angle of view from the main hall is not good, so I didn't go around to look."

"No." Xia Chengyin's footsteps stopped, and he frowned, "Is it in a courtyard wall that occupies a large area?"

Qi Zhuyue nodded.

Her reaction directly made Xia Chengyin take out a cigarette from his pocket, light it and stuff it into his mouth.

The inch-headed policeman took a deep breath, then exhaled the smoke ring and said slowly: "The banyan tree is gone."

Qi Zhuyue was dumbfounded: "Huh?"

"In Fuzhao Temple, there is no giant banyan tree as you mentioned, only a very deep pit."

Now it seems that the banyan tree has completely disappeared.

It disappeared together with the roots buried deep in the ground.

……

Due to the discrepancy in information, the two first went to the deep pit to have a look.

The location is indeed in the courtyard where the banyan tree was located before, except that half of the wall is missing, and the more eye-catching thing is the pit on the ground.

At first glance, the huge semicircle pit is several meters deep. Standing closer, you can see irregular long strips around the semicircle...tooth marks?
Qi Zhuyue unknowingly stretched her head downwards, testing the edge of falling, and finally Xia Chengyin grabbed her arm.

"What did you see?"

Xia Chengyin knew very well that his companions often saw images that ordinary people couldn't see. Now that he was walking forward in a daze, he probably had a clue.

The black-haired girl who was pulled back looked confused, and after a few minutes, her pupils gradually gained focus.

Qi Zhuyue thanked in a low voice, she covered her face, covering it in the darkness of her palm.

"I saw a piece of white."

"The white cloud-like thing with many eyeballs swallowed the whole banyan tree."

"A little bit...all...everything was cannibalized."

The black-haired girl's voice was trembling. Xia Chengyin thought she had finished speaking, but a few seconds later her voice sounded again: "I think what I just saw looks familiar."

Because of the familiar sight, Qi Zhuyue kept thinking about where she had seen that scene on the way to the back mountain.

She rummaged through the memories of the past and what she saw and heard recently, but found nothing.

The black-haired girl was a little bit crazy, feeling that she was one step away, but her mind was always covered with a veil, and she just couldn't find the answer.

Xia Chengyin suggested that the other party look for the answer but did not suggest it. On the one hand, he wanted to know where he had read it, and on the other hand, he was afraid that his partner would lose his mind.

Qi Zhuyue: "It's okay, as long as my brain grows, I hope that when I go back, Team Gu will give me a leave of absence and let me go to a nursing home to rest... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Rubbing his hair into a mess didn't get an answer, but the back mountain came first.

The roads in the temple also became potholes, most of which were covered with debris from buildings, which could easily be moved by Xia Chengyin.

A five-story pagoda... the top of the tower was lifted, as if it was torn apart by someone's hand, bent from the middle of the second floor, and pulled to one side.

"It's quite spectacular, in terms of shape." Qi Zhuyue commented, "It turns out that this is a five-story tower, and the hall for eating vegetarian food is inside."

After a pause, Qi Zhuyue whispered: "There should be something wrong with that fan, but the tower is destroyed like this, so there should be no clues?"

"Not necessarily." Xia Chengyin answered, "But before that, there is a more important question."

The inch-headed police officer stood on the edge of a high and steep cliff, facing the broken mountain steps.

Xia Chengyin asked: "Can you go down by yourself?"

Qi Zhuyue replied dryly: "...Obviously not, Senior Xia, I can barely pass the physical fitness."

Xia Chengyin thought of the expected answer.

There was no one around here, and local colleagues were still carrying the unconscious monks ahead.

There is no rope or the like, it is too troublesome to rub now.

The policeman with a little bit of gentleman spirit but definitely not much just said "offended", and then lifted the woman beside him - like lifting a sack.

Qi Zhuyue covered her face weakly, and soon she covered her mouth instead.

The way Xia Chengyin descended the cliff was also simple and rude. He jumped down from a high altitude, grasped the cliff with five fingers and stuck half of his hand in, and then repeated the above steps.

Ordinary people's palms were already dripping with blood when they did this move, but when Xia Chengyin fell to the platform below, he withdrew his hand, leaving several holes in the mountain wall, and his hand was unscathed except for some stone chips.

"Okay." The inch-cut policeman bit his cigarette and put his companion down, "Where should we go first?"
