Trying to pretend to be human today

Chapter 317 The kidnapped "Wen Tao"

What's the situation now?
Bai Su thought as he stood there.

The noise from the red-roofed house in the distance is so loud that as long as you are not deaf and are within the confines of the village, you can hear it.

But what is strange is that no villagers came around or rushed in that direction.

The only people Bai Su could see were some elderly people with limited mobility. They opened the doors and windows where they lived and took a look, with worried expressions on their faces.

So, what about the rest of the village?
Realizing that something unexpected seemed to have happened elsewhere, Bai Su still held the sleeping human boy with one hand, blinked his eyes, and then closed one of his eyes.

Half of the field of vision dimmed, then lit up again.

In the village, among the grass, on the treetops...any place where Baisu has dropped a wisp of white catkins can be observed.

He saw... He saw -

He saw the commotion in the mountains and forests.

There's a reason the villagers didn't rush to the red-roofed house, because they were caught up in the situation.

I would like to ask, what is the most important thing in Wenjiacun at this stage?Answer, that must be the sacrifice that will be held in these two days.

The sacrificial venue is on the mountain. From a high altitude, you can see another mountainside opposite the ancestral hall. The entire venue has been set up on a flat and open lake-like ground.

In the middle is a wooden platform with a familiar shape, surrounded by several pillars. Considering that the environment in the underground garage of the shopping mall was dark and it was difficult to see clearly, let's assume that the positions of these pillars are exactly the same.

There were a few villagers left beside the altar. At least before the abnormality occurred, they sat there in twos and threes chatting until rustling noises came from the surrounding woods.

The villagers who were sitting and chatting immediately picked up the weapons that were used as farm tools beside them and stood up, staring at the forest warily.

What is coming out of the woods?It's a pile of black mud.

The muddy turbidity is shapeless, and when I see that twisted posture, I have to do a san check to calm down.

However, the villagers in Wenjia Village are not ordinary people. They yelled and screamed for a while at the beginning, and no one went crazy or fled. They glanced back at the altar behind them, and they were still standing there.

Then came the call for reinforcements. The young and middle-aged people who might have left the wedding banquet rushed there. No wonder there was no one in the village.

The above - all are Bai Su's conjectures based on the fragments of scenes he saw in villages and mountains.

In fact, all he saw now was the scene of villagers confronting the black sludge.

During the day, the villagers' combat effectiveness was much lower. They could only wield farm tools, but they were not as strong as they were at night.

But it doesn't matter, because the other side of the confrontation has no intention of putting anyone to death, just like a cat teasing a mouse, teasing the villagers from time to time.

This is a strange scene, but as long as you think that the manipulator behind the black sludge is Wen Rongxuan, a native of Wenjia Village with the surname Wen, this seems to be acceptable.

The young man who has stood on the opposite side of the village still has feelings for the village and is unwilling to kill, and even wants to save the entire village.

I just don’t know if this “fighting fire with fire” approach will work.

He guessed - it couldn't be.

The eyeball flowers fluttering in the air are drifting leisurely, being blown up and down by gusts of wind, witnessing the villagers' interactions with the black mud.

What should I say at this time?
Stop fighting. If you want to fight, go to the dance studio.

The eyeball floated for a while and finally fell to the ground without being blown by the wind. Bai Su didn't care. When one part of his field of vision became dark, he looked at another. After changing it a few times, he moved around the house with a red roof.

Yesterday when I was walking around with the human boy, I passed by here, but I didn't get too close to the red roof, so his angle of view was extremely low at this moment.

Oh, he was left in the corner.

He climbed up the wall of an unknown house, then stretched his body and jumped onto the tiles of the roof.

The direction of his eyeballs changed, and when he looked forward, they swelled in surprise.

This...this is really——

……

If Xia Chengyin were asked to evaluate what he had experienced in just half an hour, he could only give one evaluation - ups and downs.

In other words, the plot seems to have stepped on the accelerator, a bit like when he was driving.

How to evaluate Xia Chengyin's driving ability?It feels like flying, and gives those who have ridden in his car a chance to never ride again. Some even said that if you are not in a hurry, you must not let Xia Chengyin touch the steering wheel - well, I am going too far.

The unkind Wen Rongxuan stared at Qi Zhuyue, and after saying those words word for word, the gloomy aura of his whole body was about to turn into black mud.

In fact, there was no need for his persistence to materialize. The black sludge that had been thrown out jumped up.

The moment it jumped into the air, it divided into several waves and rushed towards Qi Zhuyue, Xia Chengyin, and also towards the doctor and middle-aged man in the room.

The first one to move was Xia Chengyin. He quickly rushed towards Qi Zhuyue. The one who was slower than him was Tang Nuo. The young man wearing glasses took something out of his sleeve and threw it into the air.

The last person to move was a middle-aged man. After he realized that he could not keep up with Xia Chengyin, he grabbed the village doctor who was closer to him.

While retreating, Wen Jianyuan did not forget to shout loudly: "Protect Wen Tao for me, you kid, don't think that if you take action now, I will give you points!"

Xia Chengyin: ...What a mess.

The short-cut police officer didn't know how to complain about the middle-aged man's fine points.

Wen Jianyuan is really, really easy to tear apart a man.

On the one hand, the middle-aged man will always show the persistence of the Wenjiacun villagers in the existence of "Wen Tao"; on the other hand, he is like a nagging elder, constantly worrying about "Wen Tao"'s emotional problems.

One second he was tit for tat with Xia Chengyin, and the next second he lost impression points based on Xia Chengyin's reaction.

The abnormality and daily life of Wenjia Village are intertwined and twisted in this ordinary middle-aged man, but Wen Jianyuan himself is unaware of it.

What the short-haired police officer was thinking had nothing to do with the movements in his hands.

His hand clamped Qi Zhuyue's arm, and his other hand reached in and out of his pocket to put on the glove, and then punched mercilessly.

Human beings consider the oncoming black sludge based on their preconceived impressions.

Xia Chengyin had seen and met him before, in the courtyard of Wen Tao's house.

Logically speaking, the fist can break up the black sludge when it collides with it, at least...that was the case before.

The fist seemed to be sunk into a swamp, and half of Xia Chengyin's arm was embedded in it.

Fortunately, the short-haired police officer put on a shoulder-length arm guard, so his arm was fine except for being surrounded by sticky liquid.

"Do you think..." A gloomy voice came from nearby, "Do you think I won't make any changes after the last failure?"

Xia Chengyin only heard a shout from Tang Nuo, telling him to be careful, and...a soft-pitched groan.

The battle in reality is not turn-based like a game. The moment the short-haired police officer punched, Wen Rongxuan leaned down and swam over.

The word "tour" is vivid to the observer.The young man's left calf was bent unnaturally, as if the bones inside were broken or bent, and had not been properly straightened by its owner, so that when walking, his legs could only be supported by the accumulated mud.

Wen Rongxuan is very fast, faster than human imagination.

In the blink of an eye, he reached Qi Zhuyue's side and held Qi Zhuyue's wrist.

"Wen Tao... Wen Tao..."

The young man repeated the name over and over again, and his bandaged hands reached into his arms and found something.

It was a small item wrapped in torn cloth. Through the opaque cloth, one could not see what it was. Only the convex curves could be seen.

Wen Rongxuan approached Qi Zhuyue with the object wrapped in cloth, staring at the curved edges.

Not knowing what he had confirmed, the young man laughed foolishly: "Yes, you are Wen Tao, I found you."

"The sacrifice...the key person."

The young man determined the target and started to take action. While controlling the black sludge, he pushed the short-haired police officer away. Other sludge seemed to sense something and spontaneously rose from the ground, opening a thin layer of mesh and covering it. The stick that was about to be swung at the young man was still a bit... a bit astringent.

Wen Rongxuan didn't even look at Wen Jianyuan who rushed in again, but turned to look at where Tang Nuo was.

What you can see is black mud stained with beige dust. The lump cannot rise again and lies heavily on the ground.

The young man looked at Tang Nuo, who was holding several packets of paper dust in his hands. Just as the latter was on guard against the black sludge coming towards him again, a sudden change occurred.

The person was immediately thrown against the wall.

Compared to Xia Chengyin, who had been entangled in the black sludge, Tang Nuo was actually hit a little later.

The pain coming from the back made one's vision temporarily go dark, and just as the vision was blurred, there was a sound of something being hit and broken, followed by a sudden brightening of light and dark in front of the eyes.

The roof was punctured and light fell from above.

The weather in Wenjia Village during the day is acceptable, with no clouds but the sun.

Qi Zhuyue was dizzy from beginning to end. She felt nauseated from the moment she saw the black sludge emerging, as if something in her body was interacting with it and responding.

This is something that the previous cases of doppelgangers did not have.

Nausea blurred her perception of the surrounding environment. All she knew was that someone grabbed her arm, and a few seconds later someone touched her other wrist.

Then there were inaudible whispers, as if someone was persistently shouting a name that didn't belong to her at her.

She is... Wen Tao?No, she is Qi Zhuyue.

Wen Tao... Why is it Wen Tao? Is it a pendant——

When the wind blew by her ears, she lifted her feet off the ground and was held under someone's arms.

It should be the crook of the arm... One person said that this position was really uncomfortable, and she felt like she was going to vomit!
He opened his eyes drowsily, and his eyes were completely dark.

It's not that Qi Zhuyue can't see, but the floating and dripping mud has this color.

It's... so dirty.

This was the last thought in Qi Zhuyue's consciousness. Her hand that had already touched the weapon dropped heavily.

After all, human perseverance cannot resist the call coming from the body.

"Q... something is wrong with Wen Tao." After getting rid of the pain in his back, Xia Chengyin gave Tang Nuo a hand and pulled him up from the ground.

He rushed under the broken hole in the roof and looked up.

The young man who was collecting the black mud had not yet left. He had the light behind him and his face was covered with shadows. When someone looked at him, he mouthed two words - Goodbye.

"Wait!"

Xia Chengyin immediately wanted to stop him, but before he could reach the roof, Wen Rongxuan, who was standing high up, flipped his wrist and tapped his pale fingers twice, and the black mud in front of him gathered like needles.

Familiar look, familiar attacks.

The short-haired police officer immediately ducked down, dragging his glasses-wearing companion to bend down as well, and lifted up the nearest table with his remaining hand.

Accompanied by the sound of the table board being penetrated, more black lights pierced the ground. They crawled out of the holes, gathered in a group and jumped up——

With quick eyes and quick hands, Tang Nuo opened the paper in his hand and threw it away. The black light that touched the beige dust fell to the ground with the same weight.

Behind him, Xia Chengyin poked his head out from behind the broken table and punched a black light in his hand.

The hole in the roof above their heads was empty.

Wen Rongxuan took "Wen Tao" away.

Wen Rongxuan didn't know where he took Qi Zhuyue.

This realization gave Xia Chengyin a headache.

The minute hand only moved half a circle, but the development of things was completely out of control.

Before, they were still thinking about how to keep "Wen Tao" from "Wen Tao"'s uncle, but now they have entered the route of how to save their abducted teammates.

Why does this happen?Did Wen Rongxuan suffer any stimulation?
Xia Chengyin recalled the eye he had just seen. The degree of sinisterness had doubled compared with the previous day. The persistence in the eye gradually turned into paranoia, and finally reached the point where he was desperate to give it a try.

So, what's the thrill?

Just as he was thinking about it, Xia Chengyin suddenly felt his shoulder being tapped twice. He turned around and saw Tang Nuo standing next to him with a sullen face, pointing forward twice.

So Xia Chengyin also looked forward.

At some point, a group of villagers gathered in front of the village doctor's residence. The leader standing there with a cane was the village chief, whom Bai Su had only seen before.

Although Xia Chengyin and the others didn't know him, they could tell from his position and other people's attitudes towards the old man.

Xia Chengyin believed that the people in this village had some elusive talents and some bad intentions.

The short-haired police officer took a step to the side and blocked his companion behind him, trying to let Tang Nuo use his smart mind to think about how to escape later.

Let him punch a hole in the wall and rush out, or jump out directly from the roof, and which route should he take by climbing over the roof? Anyway, Qi Zhuyue has been captured, and it seems that it will not be bad if he is chased by the villagers again. Where to go.

...No, it could be worse.

"You can't run away." Tang Nuo said softly from behind, "Look back."

Xia Chengyin's gaze shifted, and beyond the human wall formed by the villagers, he saw...?
Among the villagers, the black-haired young man stood there leisurely. When he saw someone looking towards him, he waved.

"?" The question mark on the human head almost materialized, "Bai...Bai Su?"

"Hi." The black-haired young man said gracefully, "You are here."
