Guan Xianzhang pondered for a moment and was about to speak when he suddenly looked at his younger brother, “Xianzhang, you go out first.”

Guan Xianzhang was puzzled, “Brother?”

“Wait outside for a bit, I want to chat with them alone for a while.”Full novel: The Anomaly Bureau — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

Hearing this, Guan Xianzhang looked at Cheng Miao, who nodded, indicating that with him there, there was no problem.

Only then did Guan Xianzhang walk out and close the door.

Seeing that Guan Xianshang was still squatting on the ground, Cheng Miao extended a hand, “Why don’t you sit down and rest for a bit?”

Guan Xianshang thanked him, grabbed his hand to stand up, and sat on the bed.

Then, there was a period of silence.

Bai Wu was getting a little anxious, giving Cheng Miao a look from time to time.

But Cheng Miao just shook his head, signaling him not to rush.

Finally, Guan Xianshang opened his mouth, “Actually, I described its appearance at the beginning, but no one believed me. They all said that what I saw was a wild beast, but I knew that it wasn’t an ordinary wild beast at all. It was the most terrifying thing I’ve ever seen.”

Cheng Miao nodded and asked gently, “What does it look like?”

“It has the fangs of a tiger, the face of a fox, many heads, many tails. Its four claws are unusually sharp. Especially its eyes, its eyes…”

Guan Xianshang’s expression suddenly became fierce, almost roaring, “Get out! Get out!”

He clenched his fist and punched Cheng Miao.

Bai Wu hurriedly rushed over, grabbed Guan Xianshang’s arm, and chopped him on the neck with a knifehand strike.

Guan Xianshang’s vision went black, and he fainted.

At this moment, the door of the room was violently pushed open, and Guan Xianzhang stood at the door.

Bai Wu suddenly felt guilty, “This…I…”

Guan Xianzhang’s expression dropped, “You know, my brother attacked us again, right? Could you please come out first? I’ll settle my brother down and then come out.”

Bai Wu nodded repeatedly, helping him move Guan Xianshang to the bed before following Cheng Miao out.

As soon as he came out, he took a deep breath, “Phew, so thrilling, how did he suddenly change while talking?”

Cheng Miao was also quite frightened. After a while, he regained his composure, “Being contaminated by the evil energy of the YiShou is probably like this. It’s really hard on Guan Xianzhang, being with the current Guan Xianshang, you really need a strong heart.”

Bai Wu looked at Guan Xianshang’s room and asked, “Is there no way to cure this kind of thing?”

“The rumored method is to kill the YiShou. If the main body is gone, the evil energy in his body will naturally disappear.”

“Isn’t that a good thing?”

“I’ll report to the bureau later, it’s not a good solution for Guan Xianshang to stay at home like this.

I think he can already smash his computer screen at his brother. I heard that he almost jumped off the building before. Who knows what he will do next time? It’s better to let him stay at the bureau first. It can also help you supplement some of the things you don’t understand about YiShou.”

“The last sentence is your real purpose, right? Will Guan Xianzhang agree?”

“You tell him.”

As he was speaking, Guan Xianzhang came out.

He first apologized for what his brother had done and asked if they were injured. He was relieved to hear that they were not.

At this time, Cheng Miao analyzed Guan Xianshang’s behavior in a painful tone. Finally, he concluded, “It may be a mental breakdown caused by strong stimulation.

It’s just a brief chat, so we can’t be completely sure. He now needs to undergo further examination and professional treatment. Leave him to us, and we will provide him with a comfortable place and treatment suitable for his symptoms.”

Guan Xianzhang asked nervously, “Are you going to take my brother to a mental hospital?”

Cheng Miao hurriedly said, “Of course not, he doesn’t need to go to that place. It’s just because his situation is too special that he needs to be observed for a period of time.

Don’t worry, you can go see him whenever you want, and you can accompany him. We mainly want to ensure your safety. In his current state, it is difficult for us to guarantee what more extreme things he will do in the future.”

Guan Xianzhang had been with his brother for so long, so he knew his condition better, and he also knew that what Cheng Miao said was true.

But he still hesitated for a long time before saying, “I’ll discuss it with my parents when they come back later.”

“Okay. Give me your phone number, and contact me anytime you’ve decided.”

“Thank you.”

After leaving Guan Xianzhang’s house, Bai Wu kept thinking about that monster.

“Many heads, many tails, looks like a fox, but has tiger teeth and four claws. What is that?”

“Long Zhi. Nine Heads, Nine Tails, a voice like a baby, it all matches.”

Bai Wu suddenly realized, “So it’s him. He’s so powerful, he hasn’t been discovered for so many years.”

“Hurry up and start the car, we’re going back to report.”

“Oh.”

Bai Wu fastened his seat belt and started the engine.

Along the way, he asked many more questions, “Why don’t either Li Xiang or Guan Xianshang want their family members to hear about their experiences?

Especially Li Xiang, as soon as he said he would let his mother leave, he immediately said that he was willing to say those things, why is that?”

“Because children of that age have a strong desire to share. He encountered such a stimulating thing, so he is actually more willing to talk about it. But he knows that from his common sense, what he experienced is quite strange. If he says it, not many people will believe him.

They might even think there’s something wrong with his brain.”

“So when you chat with him, you can not ask him about the mountain first, but let him chat and naturally say it himself.”

Cheng Miao nodded, “Moreover, there are always some barriers between parents and children, just like Yan, she is more willing to tell me many things, but not you.”

“That’s because you are too strict with her.”

Cheng Miao shook his head helplessly, “I’ve already tried to let her do what she wants, but as a parent, sometimes I can’t help but remind her that some things should be restrained.”

“There’s no way around that, you’re doing it for her own good. Let’s talk about Guan Xianshang, why doesn’t he want his brother to hear about these experiences?”

“Probably it’s to protect him.

You also saw that Guan Xianzhang’s personality changed drastically after his brother went to the mountain once, so he disregarded the danger and went straight up the mountain. If he knew what turned his brother into that, do you think he would go directly to find that thing?”

Bai Wu couldn’t help but sigh, “If he hadn’t been infected by the evil energy, he should be a good brother.”

“So, we have to find Long Zhi as soon as possible.”

“What are we going to do now?”

“Go back to the bureau first and look for information about Long Zhi. Maybe there’s a secret in there about how he can hide for ten years.”
