Trying to pretend to be human today

Chapter 295 Disappearing Name

"No... lake?"

It seems that some fog-like occlusion in cognition has been pulled away.

The humans who realized something stopped discussing and grabbed the map in front of Baisu suddenly.

Baisu was still lighting the pen, and the tip of the pen that hadn't been retracted in time left a deep ink mark on the map, and even scratched the serious place directly.

However, impatient humans don't care about this damage.

Compared with the damage of the map, they are more concerned about whether there is a lake on the map.

When human beings looked at paper maps, Baisu researched whether there were historical maps on the Internet that could be flipped.

However, the earliest Internet can be traced back to ten years ago. No matter how early the Internet is not popular enough, you may go to the relevant local library or map agency to try your luck to see if they have included paper copies.

It only took humans a few minutes to check whether the lake existed. They scanned the mountains near the village carefully. Except for rivers and streams, there was no structure as large as the lake.

"How come..." The young man muttered to himself, "In my perception, the map clearly shows..."

Before the few humans were pointed out by Baisu, no one thought they had a problem reading the map. In their memory, there was a piece of blue in the current dark green mountain range on the map they looked at.

Xia Chengyin couldn't help turning his eyes to Baisu.

The black-haired young man was looking down at his mobile phone and noticed someone looking at him. He waved his electronic device and showed his search interface.

Xia Chengyin didn't look at that, but stared at the black-haired young man's head.

After being stared at for a long time, Baisu couldn't help but said, "Officer Xia." His eyes could be closed.

Xia Chengyin looked away without feeling presumptuous at all, and commented in his heart: Regardless of whether Baisu has any problems, his ability is still very useful.

When the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, you can choose to turn a blind eye.

"There is no lake...you have to go to the original site of the lake, right?" Gao Tianyi struggled for a while, and quickly adjusted his mentality, "Or ask around in the village, if conditions permit."

"...No, I don't think so." Qi Zhuyue who had been silent for a long time suddenly said, "I...I think they...he..."

Qi Zhuyue didn't know how to express her feelings for a while, she just subconsciously felt that if they asked, something bad might happen.

From the time she communicated with Wen Jianyuan as "Wen Tao", she has always been a little nervous, otherwise she wouldn't have yelled at her companions in the parking lot to get her.

The same is true for other villagers. Looking at the information brought back by Baisu's night tour, there are more than one villager wandering at night.

"Is that so..." Tang Nuo frowned, "Qi Zhuyue's intuition has always been accurate."

Tang Nuo summarized some information that is now publicly available.

There is an anomaly in this village and it should be divided into two groups.

One group is represented by the giant fish tail that Gao Tianyi saw in his dream and the fish-eyed villagers photographed by Baili, and the other group is the target that the special department is pursuing during this trip—that is, black mud.

However, at this stage, it seems that the cart is somewhat upside down.

Baisu sat there quietly and listened to the human beings discussing whether they should go to the original site of the lake today.

So, aren't they here to find the black sludge?

The fisheye villagers smelled bad at all, no matter how alienated they were, the essence of the fisheye villagers was still human, unless they completely abandoned their human part.

In comparison, the humans who were still replaced by black silt smelled more delicious.

Ahh... when will humans push another lead down?
The monster licked the tips of its teeth, reminiscing about the pleasure and satiety of foraging in the woods in the early morning.

There is a large amount of black silt in the woods, scattered under the shadow of trees, behind rocks, and in the mud.

If all these scattered ones are gathered together, it may be more than one-fifth of the large group of urban sewers.

But where is the source?The monster sighed faintly.

To say that there is a clear distinction between the fisheye villagers and the black silt, it can be said that but it cannot be said that way.

The most primitive black mud fights with fisheye villagers when they meet each other, but there are replaced villagers in the village, how can the latter come into being?

We have to find a way to shake the news to humans.

He planned in his heart to lead people to go around a certain almost residential house when he was going out. He told Qi Zhuyue about the transformed dog yesterday, but the transformed person was not known to the special department.

Humans and non-humans spent the next period of time with their own minds. When it was almost dawn and they were about to go out, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

"Peach! Are you up yet?"

——It was Wen Jianyuan's voice.

The people in the room did not respond immediately, and the others gestured to Qi Zhuyue with their eyes.

'Did Wen Tao's uncle say he was coming today? '

'Wait...let me take a look. '

Qi Zhuyue, who had re-braided, hurried to get Wen Tao's mobile phone, and as expected, she saw several messages sent half an hour ago.

The main idea is to ask if "Wen Tao" is up, and then ask "Wen Tao" and her friends if they have any plans for today, and if they need a tour guide or something.

The middle-aged man recommended himself very enthusiastically, saying that he had discussed it with his wife last night, and that they are not very busy these two days, so he can take them around the village.

He said that "Wen Tao" hadn't come back for so many years, and he probably didn't know about some changes in the village, and there were many more people in the village that "Wen Tao" didn't know.

Probably because Qi Zhuyue did not reply for a long time, Wen Jianyuan ended the conversation with "I will come to you later".

Now, middle-aged men are already standing outside the door.

It's because the information in the morning was too impactful, and the impact was so great that they ignored other aspects, and it was also because of Qi Zhuyue's poor state after the sc failed.

'Do you want to open the door? '

'open it. '

Human beings quickly made a decision and asked Qi Zhuyue to answer the door.

When the middle-aged man outside the door saw someone coming out, he immediately opened up the chatterbox: "Here you are, I thought you weren't up yet." He talked about "Wen Tao" in a nostalgic tone when he was a child and stayed in bed.

Qi Zhuyue didn't know if the funny thing was true, because "Wen Tao" himself didn't remember it.

Now she can only smile with a smiling face, and stretch out her hand to support the door frame: "Is there nothing to do, uncle?"

For people living in the village, there are only so many things to be busy every day step by step, and it seems that they can squeeze out some time.

"It's okay." Wen Jianyuan waved his hand, "There is still time to take you for a few days."

"Originally, this kind of thing should have happened to my son. This year he just finished the exam and went out to work. You said it was not a coincidence."

"Um...ah..."

Qi Zhuyue responded there for a while, and made a few gestures with the back of her hand behind her, signaling her companions to quickly discuss and make a decision, whether to accept Wen Jianyuan's sudden tour guide behavior.

"Do you want to accept it?"

The breath-like sound haunted the ears, startling the humans who were thinking about it.

Xia Chengyin subconsciously wanted to react with an attack, but his reason could barely grasp him, and after turning his face at an angle of thirty degrees, he met a pair of black eyes.

There was not much light in the black eyes, but they were the familiar outlines of human beings. Because of this familiarity, Xia Chengyin stopped raising her hand, and touched the tip of her nose instead of looking abrupt.

When did Baisu come over?I don't know, black-haired youths sometimes have a very low sense of presence and are easily overlooked.

It may also be that he deliberately lowered his own sense of existence, together with the sound of breathing and heartbeat.

The black-haired youth looked at the one among the human beings who could make decisions inquisitively.

Baisu was a little curious about whether humans would choose to follow Wen Jianyuan.

The middle-aged man named Wen Jianyuan has been assigned to the "fish" side in Baisu's perception.

In fact, I could see it yesterday, and it was only at night that I came up with the classification definition of "fish".

Follow Wen Jianyuan to understand the closed village in the mountains, but correspondingly, they may not have the chance to go outside the village today.

He also has such a small interest in the so-called lake. If humans don't go there during the day, he can sneak out at night.

Just avoid the patrolling fisheye villagers by walking through the woods outside the village.

Humans see the black ooze as a threat, and to him the black ooze is just a buffet of manifestations.

"So, do you want to follow?"

Baisu asked the question again, his gaze was drawn away from the inch-headed policeman, and he drifted to the courtyard gate ahead.

They are now standing in the courtyard, as if they heard the movement and came out to check the situation together, they can be seen from the direction of the courtyard door.

The middle-aged man glanced inward from time to time, and when he met Baisu's gaze, the latter smiled at him.

The middle-aged man who was smiling inexplicably was speechless for a second, and the man raised his lips and smiled back.

Very normal performance.

There is nothing unusual about being on the dinner table at dinner last night.

"Fish... switch..." An inaudible murmur floated in the air, but Baisu did not avoid the humans, who heard a few syllables.

……switch?The inch-headed police officer of the intuition department suddenly thought of something.

He thought for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand from the side, and then Baisu's figure blocked and pushed a certain minor.

The minor didn't defend himself, and he fell out as soon as he leaned forward.

After walking a few steps, Gao Tianyi barely stabilized his figure. Gao Tianyi turned his head and looked behind him, and the moment he met Xia Chengyin's gaze, he dropped the corner of his mouth.

Then, Gao Tianyi skipped and walked towards the door, and the whole process stopped for less than three seconds.

Taking advantage of his appearance, the young man naturally moved to Qi Zhuyue's side and joined the chat.

The tone is a little lower than that of an adult male, and crisper than that of an adult female, echoing in the ears of adults like firing a machine gun.

Gao Tianyi gave full play to the boundless curiosity that he could have at his age, and asked middle-aged men about everything, and asked Wen Jianyuan, who was still smiling, so much that he couldn't stop laughing.

Since this is an unfamiliar child or even a guest, it is not easy to say the words of reprimand directly.

Wen Jianyuan shifted his gaze to his "niece".

"Wen Tao" received the eyes of his parents who seemed to be asking for help, and finally coughed twice, interrupting the young man's inquiry: "Then please trouble uncle, we will come after we tidy up a little... where will I see you later?"

"At the door of my house, you know each other."

As if getting rid of a troublesome matter, after confirming that his niece and friends needed his help, the middle-aged man turned around and left, as if there was a scourge behind him.

When outsiders lost their sight, Gao Tianyi naturally kept his mouth shut and stopped acting in his true colors.

"What a normal reaction." The young man commented, "The uncle during the day is quite normal."

It is better to say that the villages during the day are quite normal, caged in a layer of false appearance, the closer to the time of dusk, the normal appearance begins to break away.

But that doesn't mean there's nothing during the day.

In the dark corners that are not exposed to sunlight, there are still some extraordinary things.

Wen Jianyuan’s self-proclaimed tour guide’s introduction today is much more detailed than yesterday’s. If yesterday he only gave a rough overview of the names of the people living there, today he told some interesting stories and gossip in the village.

"Do you remember this, Taotao?" The middle-aged man pointed to a window and asked.

On the way to the place where they were said to be able to watch how the preparations for the upcoming sacrificial ceremony were made, a group of people passed by a house with a sign of "囍".

Unlike the “囍” characters I’ve seen before, which were a little warped and faded by the wind, the one in front of me is pasted with the purest red color—festive and gorgeous.

"Uh...don't remember."

Qi Zhuyue answered honestly, "Wen Tao" really didn't remember.

The middle-aged man didn't care about answering, he just started talking, telling people about the family who was about to marry their daughter.

It seems that I glanced at it in a hurry yesterday, and Wen Jianyuan didn't remember what he said yesterday. Now he was talking about the girl who was about to become a bride. She used to be one of the children who ran behind Wen Tao's ass.

"Wen Tao" heard this, and put a question mark in his heart.

Is there such a thing?
Wen Tao's childhood memories had faded and become blurred. Even with Gao Tianyi's reminder in his dream, they could only piece together the conclusion that the children in Wenjia Village often played together in the early days.

The child following Wen Tao... After some inquiries, the people in the special department breathed a sigh of relief after getting the answer that the girl was only 22 years old this year.

Great, no crime yet.

I'm afraid that the people who walked to the criminal studio next door would think again, at this age, Gao Tianyi should not have been born in the dream that Gao Tianyi experienced.

"No, not necessarily." The young man murmured to Baisu in a low voice, "Last night's dream became very nonsensical."

Baisu: "...why did you tell me?"

Gao Tianyi: "Hey, Brother Xia and Brother Tang are collecting information now, so I won't go up there to spoil the fun."

Read it as a disappointment, and write it as a mess.

Under Baisu's eyes, the young man turned his head around and recorded what he saw in the village with his own eyes.

Of course, they were already much slower than the Baisu who had traveled freely at night.

Wen Jianyuan's narration continued: "Didn't you be the king of children in the village when you were young? Then you grew up and became a lady. At that time, who did you follow, Wen—"

The name only spit out a surname, and then there was no sound. Others couldn't help but looked over, saw the middle-aged man's face twitch a few times, and then changed the subject.

It should be Wen [——].

The name that was deliberately silenced in the dream.
