Trying to pretend to be human today

Chapter 301

"that……"

"Can you see clearly at this distance?"

"I say……"

"You can see clearly. I should have asked Gao Tianyi for some spells."

"you……"

"Huh? Does his talisman still have this effect?"

"There should be? I don't know anything about it..."

"I said you guys!"

Qi Zhuyue clapped her hands suddenly, hitting the tree trunk nearby.

Her palms turned red, and the leaves fell from the ground.

It has to be said that the skills of people who have been systematically trained are much better than ordinary people. Just as Qi Zhuyue judged in the cabin before, she can defeat Wen Rongxuan.

Now, she slowly retracted her palms and put her hands on her hips in an imposing manner.

"Do we have to be here?"

"Yes, this angle is good."

The three of them squatted sneakily in the grass near Wen Rongxuan's hut. Tang Nuo carefully selected and compared many surrounding places and thought that this place was more hidden.

They could see what was going on around the hut, but the people in the hut couldn't see them unless they looked at it from a tricky angle.

As for safety, Baisu guarantees it.

In Bai Su's words: "If it's just black mud, I can still tell the difference. If you're worried, you can put a few more eyes in."

It’s a very playful term, but it actually means poking a few more cameras on the ground.

The humans put the camera on, and Bai Su looked at their actions and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether they let it go or not. If Wen Rongxuan is here, the black sludge won't approach them at will."

The human stopped and raised his head and looked at Bai Su, who said to himself: "Wen Rongxuan is... I think he looks like... the orderer?"

Tang Nuo frowned instantly: "You didn't say that before."

In response, Bai Su shrugged: "Because I'm not sure."

Bai Su described to the human being the mysterious and mysterious things he had seen. The human being felt that what he heard was confusing, and he was less human than the Riddler.

All in all, I don't understand.

If you don’t understand, just don’t understand. Just listen to the conclusion.

The last three people squatted here, preparing to observe Wen Rongxuan's follow-up actions.

Whether he was going out to find the book that had been taken away, or doing something else, he should be going out.

"I just observed the house." Bai Su raised a finger and said, "The house is very clean, with only traces of life."

On the contrary, it was the land outside the house, to be precise, the back of the land that looked like a vegetable garden. From the angle of the entrance, you could only catch a glimpse of a corner.

If Bai Su hadn't secretly used his external eyeballs to observe, they probably wouldn't have been able to see it either.

The color of that piece of mud is darker than other places, not the dark color soaked by liquid, but the soil itself has changed, there is a piece of ink-like color clusters, the closer to the edge, the lighter the color.

Not long after the three of them squatted in the distance, Wen Rongxuan came out.

The young man took off his mask and looked unhappy.

He looked outside the door, but in the end he did not choose to go out, but walked step by step to the back of the vegetable garden.

The low and rough fence blocked most of people's view, but it didn't matter, they just needed to see a few clues.

Bai Su once said that the little girl’s big yellow dog was not a dog.

Its presence is consistent with humans being replaced by black sludge.

Wen Rongxuan stood there, standing next to the abnormally exposed piece of land.

He was holding a branch in his hand that he had picked up from somewhere, probably from the local area, and was painting on the ground.

Maybe he was drawing a circle, the arc of his arm was like half of a circle.

It's more than just drawing a circle. The arms are constantly contracting inward, and horizontal and vertical lines fall down, drawing a pattern.

Tang Nuo observed from a distance and tried to follow Wen Rongxuan's brushstrokes and reenacted it.

However, because the distance is not clear, the size of the circle and the proportion of other lines are difficult to control, and in the end, only a nondescript picture is drawn.

The unsuccessful re-enactment had to be abandoned, while Wen Rongxuan's actions ahead continued.

He took out something from his arms. Due to the angle, he couldn't see clearly. All he could see was the reflection of cold light.

He took the thing in his palm and shook it hard.

Human beings instantly understood why Wen Rongxuan's hands were wrapped in thick bandages - it was to cover the wounds.

The sharp weapon pierced into the flesh, and drops of blood immediately poured out along the wound, soaking all the surrounding bandages, and finally fell down the fingers.

One drop, two drops, three drops...nine drops, ten drops.

It seemed that the blood had flowed enough. The young man put away his hand, took out a new roll of bandages from his pocket, wrapped it around his palm a few times, and then began to mutter something.

What are you reading?Not sure.

Humans don't hear it, monsters hear it but don't bother to understand.

On the left and right are some unique words and syllables, and they are either spells or summoning incantations.

As Wen Rongxuan's strange syllables were revealed bit by bit, something seemed to emerge from the ground, and a liquid whose color could not be seen from a distance kept jumping upwards.

It's like climbing higher and higher, and like dancing.

After jumping high enough, the liquid suddenly formed a ball, and the lumps were still squirming. Specific shapes were slowly formed directly below and at the front and rear.

If I have to describe it, it is a process from nothing to something, from intangible to tangible.

Big Yellow Dog was born.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the liquid was shaped into the dog he had seen yesterday, and it was lifelike in both expression and appearance.

The newborn big yellow dog floated in the air for a while, and when its limbs fell to the ground, the big yellow dog became conscious.

Its dog eyes blinked nimbly, looked left and right, shouted at the young man twice, and then started to circle around the people.

Wen Rongxuan knelt down and rubbed the big yellow dog's head. His pale and bloodless face showed a rare tenderness.

After he finished petting the dog, he pushed the big yellow dog out and signaled it to find its owner. The big yellow dog ran out of the narrow yard.

The young man seemed to have said something else. From the shape of his mouth, it sounded like - don't die again.

Obviously, this is not the first time this big yellow dog has been "resurrected".

Seeing this, Qi Zhuyue and Tang Nuo had a deeper understanding that the big yellow dog in Bai Su's mouth was a strange creature.

What followed was more thinking.

Can those replaced humans... also be manipulated in this way?

What does Wen Rongxuan represent in the whole doppelganger incident?
The humans thought in a daze, and then they looked at the palm-sized book that Bai Su "brought" out.Is the answer in there?

……

It was already afternoon when we met up with another team, and the three of them started a debate about how to prepare lunch at noon.

Bai Su thought he could still go to Wen Jianyuan's house to have a meal, but he was stopped by the other two people.

"No, no, no, this is impossible, right? Mr. Bai, please calm down! We can go back and have self-heating rice! I brought a lot of varieties, do you want to fish from the sea or start a stove?"

"But you won't be full after eating self-heating rice, right?"

"The conditions are difficult now, please bear with it, Mr. Bai."

"I think it's okay for me to eat those fishes. Do you think it's okay after I finished the all-fish feast yesterday?"

"That could be a delayed onset!"

"Well...then it doesn't matter anymore? It's going to happen anyway."

The black-haired young man had a disapproving look on his face. He kept glancing in a certain direction of the village, trying to get another meal there.

He can guarantee that Wen Jianyuan's family will definitely welcome him.

"No - okay -" Qi Zhuyue crossed her hands and made a big cross, "I'm begging you, Mr. Bai, please calm down."

Even if the onset is delayed, there is still a progress bar in human estimation.

Assuming that Bai Su is currently on this eroded progress bar, then eating one more fish will increase the degree of erosion.

Bai Su: "I think..."

Qi Zhuyue: "I don't want you to feel it, I want me to feel it!"

The black-haired young man looked at the woman with braided braids with a half-smile, only to feel the latter's heart tremble. A familiar feeling of being spied on came to his heart. Just when he couldn't help but speak, the former withdrew. sight.

"Okay." Bai Su said, "Then I want to eat three portions of self-heating rice, the one with cured meats."

Qi Zhuyue, who was half of the logistics team, calculated with his fingers that if they followed Bai Su's way of eating, they would run out of ammunition and food if they stayed in this village for at most a week.

Qi Zhuyue sighed and said: "...Eat, you can eat anything."

However, we have made such a big discovery today, so it shouldn’t take long, right?

After arguing about how to settle lunch, the three of them returned to their place of residence. During the meal, the book they had brought out of the hut was also read through.

The palm-sized book is probably for the convenience of carrying, and the words written on it are dense and small, making it difficult to read. The editor probably also wanted to prevent people from understanding it, so he wrote it in a mysterious and complicated way.

Not long after, Tang Nuo took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"It may take three to five hours to read through." Human beings make judgments, "and a very quiet environment is required, and interruptions may increase the time."

...Three to five hours?
Bai Su looked at Tang Nuo strangely and found that the tone of the human's words was serious.

A palm-sized book takes three to five hours to read.

Bai Su felt strange, but Qi Zhuyue seemed to accept it calmly.

She said with some emotion: "As expected of Senior Tang, who is mainly responsible for paperwork. If it were me to read it, it would take five hours."

With a new understanding of human reading ability, Bai Su looked at the book and used his... quantum reading?Anyway, with the way he browses, he can probably memorize those words in his head in half an hour, not to mention ten minutes.

However, Bai Su respects the idea of ​​​​human beings who want to study on their own. More importantly, another group of humans is back.

At this moment, the sun in the sky, which was obscured by clouds, gradually moved westward, and the sky became gloomy again.

The pants and shoes of the two humans, one large and one small, who had returned from outside were covered with mud and grass clippings. Even though they had been cleaned, the marks on them still could not be erased.

The leading young man was not in high spirits. He continued to frown and puff out his mouth. He was distracted and almost hit the door frame. Fortunately, the adult behind him dragged him to avoid the pain of redness and swelling on his forehead.

"Have you found anything?"

The only people who came out to greet him were Qi Zhuyue and Bai Su. Tang Nuo had already sunk into the ocean of words and would probably not land until he finished reading.

Gao Tianyi frowned and said in a low tone: "Yes...it doesn't count."

I didn't find the lake, but I found something else.

Back in the morning, we were in the mountains, where there should have been a lake.

What humans see when they look up is a barren landscape. If there is no vegetation, there is no vegetation. Not even a withered grass grows.

This seems a bit weird. If someone doesn't deliberately maintain it, then there is something wrong with this land.

The young man tentatively turned the compass towards it, but the needle did not spin wildly.

It seemed normal, so the two of them tentatively walked up, while Xia Chengyin, who was following Gao Tianyi, clenched his fists.

If there's any sign of trouble, he can punch it out.

To a certain extent, the scene that the other team members were worried about existed. After all, Xia Chengyin was not a lawful being. This could be seen from the previous discussion on whether to break into someone's home.

The two walked for a while, from the edge of the "lake" to a position near the center of the "lake", and stopped.

"Here." Gao Tianyi pointed to the place under his feet and said, "This is the place where 'Wen Tao' dived in the dream."

"Wen Tao" or Gao Tianyi in the dream dived from here and saw a vague giant fish tail at the bottom of the invisible lake.

When it comes to shape, what humans can immediately think of is the tail of a mermaid.

"Mermaid..." Xia Chengyin, who was following behind, said to himself, "Is it a mermaid or a dugong?"

"I didn't see it clearly. I glanced at it and was pulled out of the water." Gao Tianyi replied, "Although I really want to say that it is a giant dugong... but no matter how you think about it, it can't be so ordinary, right?"

"The gigantic dugong is unusual."

"Compared to the fish-eye villagers, are they considered ordinary?" At least there's a good chance they weren't turned into humans.

You need to sort out the people in the special department. No matter who they are, they feel that aliens are easier to deal with than similar ones.

This does not refer to the difficulty of facing the enemy, but to the psychological preparation to attack the target.

Who would be willing to do this unconditionally if they kill each other?
The whole group observed the ground for a while, and even took samples of the soil.

There was no other conclusion other than that it was wet earth.

Xia Chengyin clicked his tongue impatiently: "I don't have the right equipment at hand... Hey kid, do you want to take this back?"

The adult responded with the action of Gao Tianyi putting things in his arms: "It's better than nothing. By the way, Brother Xia, let's go and have a look in front. In my dream, I seemed to see a hole——"

Before the young man could finish his words, the short-haired police officer suddenly covered his mouth.

As the voices subsided, the faint voices and footsteps of people in the distance were amplified.

Xia Chengyin and Gao Tianyi looked at each other and immediately decided to leave there and leave the open area.

While running, they did not forget to smooth out the footprints they stepped on and the soil they dug out. At a glance, there were no clues.

Then the two of them hid in the woods nearby, moving quickly throughout the process.

No matter how tall or short they were, they lurked there and watched what seemed to be a group of people from Wenjia Village carrying something to the edge of the "lake". Then they put the things down and began to unload them.

The two people hiding in the woods opened their eyes wide. Those heavy objects seemed to be some construction materials.
