“We were just bored at home during summer vacation, so we wanted to go on an adventure. That forest didn’t look like anything special. Originally, we wanted to go down the mountain after walking around once. But at that moment, we saw that monster. That monster was this big…”
As Li Xiang spoke, he stood up and raised his hand high.
Cheng Miao nodded and asked the most crucial question: “What did that monster look like?”
“It looked terrifying!”
Cheng Miao patiently guided him: “Of course, it must have been terrifying. Perhaps it looked like some animal? Like a tiger? Or a wolf?”
Li Xiang thought for a while before shaking his head: “I didn’t see what it looked like, it was too scary. I immediately hid behind a tree and tightly closed my eyes.
I might have fallen asleep at the time. Anyway, when I woke up, it was the next morning, and my parents had already brought people to look for me.”
Bai Wu was a little disappointed when he heard this. He hadn’t seen it after all. Another wasted trip.
But Cheng Miao didn’t show the slightest disappointment, and his tone was still gentle: “What about the others? Did their parents pick them up?”
“It seems like they all did, no, I didn’t see Guan Xianzhang at the time, it seems like he ran down by himself.” He seemed to remember something and suddenly became agitated, “That’s right! Guan Xianzhang! He must have seen the monster’s face! That’s why he went crazy!”
……
Bai Wu looked at the tall building in front of him: “Are you ready?”
Cheng Miao found it funny: “What is there to prepare? Let’s go.”
Bai Wu chased after him: “Don’t you feel nervous? This is our last clue. If that Guan Xianzhang didn’t see anything either, then this trip will be a complete waste. If this continues, I’ll almost forget what I’m here to do.”
They were now downstairs at Guan Xianzhang’s house. After hearing Li Xiang say that Guan Xianzhang might have seen the monster’s appearance, they came here as soon as possible.
Cheng Miao had already contacted his family in advance, and as soon as they went downstairs, someone opened the door for them.
They happened to recognize the person who opened the door, it was Guan Xianzhang’s younger brother.
He was also very surprised to see them: “I heard there was a psychology expert named Cheng.”
Speaking of this, he suddenly looked at Cheng Miao: “Could that be you, sir!”
Cheng Miao smiled: “I’m not talented, but I do know a little about psychology.”
The look in Guan Xianzhang’s eyes instantly changed, it was the look of admiration and envy that Bai Wu had seen on Fang Ju’s face before.
He was a little unhappy. Why was Cheng Miao so popular with these high school students? Thinking of this, he interrupted Guan Xianzhang: “Shouldn’t you let us in first?”
Guan Xianzhang then reacted: “I’m sorry, please come in.”
The first feeling they had after entering was, spaciousness.
Their house was also a three-bedroom apartment, but the house was too empty, and there wasn’t even a family photo.
In the entire room, there was only a coffee table and a sofa. There was nothing on the coffee table, not even basic decorations like a kettle or glasses.
Guan Xianzhang might have noticed that Bai Wu was looking in that direction and explained: “Because of that incident, my brother often smashed things for a while. The flower pots, kettles, and glasses in the house were all smashed. I’m sorry to let you see these bad things.”
The two waved their hands repeatedly: “It’s nothing, it’s nothing.”
“My brother is still playing games in his room, please wait a moment, I’ll go call my brother.”
The two nodded, and he came to the innermost room.
Bai Wu asked in a low voice: “Just seeing the YiShou once will make you like this?”
“There are no records of such things before. Because, everyone who has seen the YiShou before has died.”
“Wow, so they’re really lucky.”
“Although there are no records of such people, there are speculations about such things. YiShou are extremely evil things. It is rumored that if ordinary people make eye contact with them, they will be contaminated with evil energy.”
“Evil energy?”
As they were talking, they suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the room, like something being smashed, followed by a person’s roar: “Get out! Get out!”
The two looked at each other and walked towards the room at the same time.
The door was pushed open, and what they saw was Guan Xianzhang collapsing on the ground. Next to him was the computer’s display screen, and his arms were protecting his head. The exposed skin was already swollen.
Beside him, a boy who was a little older than him was panting hard, as if he had been greatly stimulated.
His eyes were gloomy, and he stared fiercely at Guan Xianzhang.
But in the next second, his eyes suddenly became gentle again, and he quickly squatted down: “Xianzhang.”
Guan Xianzhang shrank back instinctively, but when he saw the boy’s caring eyes, he was no longer afraid: “Brother?”
The boy looked at the large red marks on Guan Xianzhang’s arm and covered his head in pain: “I’m sorry, Xianzhang, I don’t know why, I’m sorry.”
Bai Wu watched from the side, stunned, and asked loudly: “What’s going on?”
“He may be affected by the YiShou, becoming moody. One second he’s smashing his younger brother with a computer display screen, and the next second he’s back to being a gentle older brother.”
“That’s… pretty perverted. I think I understand why Guan Xianzhang wanted to find out the truth despite the danger. If I became like this, you would definitely do everything possible to find a way to cure me.”
“You’re really touching me, brother.”
“Get out!”
Cheng Miao shrugged: “We have to ask what we want to know while he’s still conscious.”
“How am I supposed to ask in this situation?”
Cheng Miao ignored his words and walked over.
Guan Xianzhang was painfully hitting his head, and Guan Xianzhang next to him hurriedly grabbed his arm.
Cheng Miao squatted down and said in a gentle tone: “I’m sorry to bother you at this time. But, Guan Xianzhang, don’t you want to know why you’re like this?”
Guan Xianzhang suddenly raised his head and looked at Cheng Miao: “You know?”
“I don’t know, but I’m investigating this matter. Tell me what you saw on that mountain before, it will help my investigation. Tell me, what did you see?”
Guan Xianzhang’s eyes were full of suspicion, he didn’t believe Cheng Miao.
But Guan Xianzhang pulled Guan Xianzhang’s arm: “Brother, he’s a good person, you can trust him.”
Guan Xianzhang struggled for a while, and finally said: “If you say it, they will think you are crazy.”
Cheng Miao shook his head: “No. I am a police officer and also a psychologist. I have seen more outrageous things than you can imagine.”
“But what you see will definitely be more bizarre than anything I’ve experienced before.”
