Shanhai Folklore Research Institute

Wu Ting restrained the acid with the fiery red streamer, and threw it aside.

In the villa, Shen Qiming, Xuan Jizi, and Zhang Maocai noticed the fight at the moment the roof of the attic was lifted.

Seeing the appearance of sour and those hot eyes clearly, the three of them were a little skeptical about life. What kind of ghost is this?

It was Shen Qiming who slapped his head and thought of something, he stammered and said: "You said that the painting hidden in the activity room is not this guy, right??"

As soon as he reminded the rest of them, they all had six eyes, and if they only looked at their faces, they were indeed quite strange.

"I even think it might be the adopted son Ye Sijun." Zhang Maocai touched the back of his head subconsciously, for fear that Xuanjizi would think that he was talking nonsense again.

Unexpectedly, Xuanjizi fell into deep thought, Bian Changfeng glanced at him with his hands folded, and said slowly: "I'm afraid you really got it wrong this time."

As soon as the voice fell, the ground shook, and the whole villa began to collapse. Wu Ting pulled Lin Mian into his arms to protect him. Lin Mian felt that he was falling fast, and the weightlessness made his heart beat faster.

The big rabbit in a state of suspended animation was sandwiched between the two of them, and Director Wu's eyes flashed coldly, and he kicked Brother Wei who was in the way.

The huge acid landed before everyone else, like a full life-saving cushion, Lin Mian got up from the acid and bare back and looked around. The collapsed villa had disappeared, and as far as he could see was a deep darkness .

Shen Qiming and the others were stunned, completely unaware of what happened.

Lin Mian also looked confused.

Wu Ting frowned slightly, Bian Changfeng changed from his previous inconspicuous appearance, and his expression was serious.

Xu Shan was holding a painting in his hand, which was the decorative painting placed in the master bedroom on the second floor. Lin Mian was a little surprised that the villa had completely disappeared, but the painting was still there.

The complete darkness around him didn't seem to affect Wu Ting's vision. He walked more than ten meters in one direction and stopped. Lin Mian followed after thinking about it. Just as he was about to cross the boundary, Wu Ting stopped him : "Don't go there."

Lin Mian stopped abruptly, her ears caught the slight sound of the wind, which seemed to be far away, but very sharp, like the sharpest blade, Lin Mian subconsciously took half a step back.

Bian Changfeng cursed something in a low voice, Wu Ting looked away, and led Lin Mian to Suanyu, where Shen Qiming, Zhang Maocai, and Xuanjizi were studying the painting around Xushan.

They now know that the four ghosts of the Ye family and the monster named Suanyu have been hiding in this strange space during the day, and they will pass through the painting and come to the real world at night, so the ghostly aura in the villa will be at night. It is very heavy, and the ghost energy gradually dissipates during the day.

Now they want to go back, and they can only go through this painting.

"Wait." Bian Changfeng sat down on the ground without any image. The opening time of this painting is midnight and four o'clock in the morning, and it is only past six o'clock in the morning, which means they will stay here for seventeen or eighteen Hours.

Xushan took out his mobile phone and started playing games again, but because there was no internet, he played Little Crocodile Loves to Take a Bath this time.

Zhang Maocai rubbed his shriveled belly. He was already thin, and last night he was catching ghosts and catching monsters—although he didn’t do it, but he ran away anyway—he was exhausted, so he was very exhausted right now. Hungry, but in the space, apart from the acid that looks like a biochemical weapon, there are only the ghosts of Ye Di and Ye Siyang squatting at the foot of Xushan, neither of which looks like they can be eaten.

Zhang Maocai lay down on the ground helplessly, forget it, go to sleep, he won't be hungry after falling asleep, and maybe he can go out when he wakes up!

Xuanjizi kicked his apprentice with hatred, and Mung Bean's small eyes swept over Wu Ting and Bian Changfeng. Whether they were dealing with the four ghosts of the Ye family or Suanyu, the expressions of the two bosses were always very relaxed. , but now the ease disappeared, and a serious and dignified atmosphere spread among the few people.

Xuanjizi looked at the place where Wu Ting stayed before, and his intuition told him that something terrible was brewing.

Realizing that he was out of danger, Hook Wei slowly opened his eyes, and then he saw a chubby and extremely round chin.

"Fuck!"

"Fuck!"

Gouwei and Shen Qiming yelled at the same time.

"What do you want to do?" Brother Wei preempted.

Shen Qiming was taken aback for a moment, then realized immediately, and said, "The rabbit has spoken!"

Gouwei was stunned when he heard the words, and subconsciously hugged his head.

It's fluffy, chubby, and cute when you touch it, but this is, absolutely, no, a head that a human being should have! !

a bolt from the blue!

When he met the icy eyes of the master dean, Brother Wei knew that he was finished, completely finished, he was exposed in front of the little assistant, and there was only one fate waiting for him, that is to be made into a plush cushion.

Lin Mian could see the unrequited expression on his fluffy face, thinking that he hadn't recovered from the shock, so he comforted him from a distance: "Brother Wei, don't be afraid, the soreness has already been taken care of by the dean." Got it."

Brother Wei: Am I afraid of acidity?No, what I'm afraid of is the dean you speak of!

"Brother Wei, why don't you change back first?" Lin Mian carefully pointed to his sharp beak, so that he didn't dare to get close to him.

Brother Wei felt bitter, but Brother Wei didn't say anything, and returned to his human form with a bang.

Lin Mian breathed a sigh of relief, but the sharp-mouthed appearance left a deep impression on him, and Assistant Lin felt that she couldn't look at him directly in the past few days.

Gouwei is an armadillo. It is recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing · Dong Shan Er Jing" that there is a beast, its shape is like a dodder with a bird's beak, an owl's eyes and a snake tail, and it sleeps when it sees people. It is called an armadillo. If you see it, the katydid will be defeated.

It looks like a rabbit but has a beak and a tail like a snake. It will pretend to be dead when it sees people. Although Brother Wei is not so timid, but the characteristic of pretending to die when he is frightened is very obvious. Lin Mian's attention at the beginning I was all attracted by his sharp mouth, and I had to deal with acid and blood, so I didn't recognize what kind of monster he was until now.

And Shen Qiming who witnessed all this: Who am I?where am I?Rabbit can not only talk but also become human?

...it's quite magical.

A group of eight people stayed in this strange space from early morning to midnight. During this period, Lin Mian wanted to ask Wu Ting many questions, but looking at the other people around him, he finally swallowed them down.

At midnight, the white rose petals that fell on the chest of drawers returned to the calyx, which was the signal for the passage to open.

It was still Wu Ting who took the lead across the canvas, followed by Lin Mian, followed by Gouwei, Bian Changfeng and Xushan. This time, Shen Qiming did not hesitate and followed behind obediently.

Everyone reappeared in the master bedroom on the second floor. It was late at night, and the torrential rain outside had stopped at some point, and the sound of frogs and cicadas could be faintly heard.

Suan and the four ghosts of the Ye family were thrown into the activity room, and the rest of them looked pale. They didn't feel sleepy now—they slept all day in the painting, but they were so hungry.

Lin Mian was overly hungry but felt okay. He ran to the kitchen, found a roll of dried noodles and a bag of dried vegetables in the cabinet, defrosted the pork in the freezer, cut the wild rice stems into slices, heated the pan, and put oil on it. , and soon a strong fresh fragrance wafted out from the kitchen.

Lin Mian saw Dean Wu lazily leaning against the door frame, thought for a while and asked cautiously, "Dean, do you have noodles with Brother Wei?"

Knowing that Hook Wei is an armadillo, Lin Mian has already guessed that Wu Ting is probably also a monster, and judging by the way he handles acid and horse belly with ease, he is probably still a big monster.

Lin Mian wasn't sure if the monster would eat Pian Erchuan.

As it turns out, monsters eat too.

Dean Wu nodded, and then quietly watched the little assistant who was busy in the kitchen, as if just looking at him like this gave him great satisfaction in his heart.

After eating a bowl of hot noodle soup, everyone felt alive again, and went back to their original rooms to rest. The painting that was the key to open the passage was placed in Wu Ting's daughter's room.

Lin Mian took off her shoes like last night and climbed onto the bed, while Wu Ting leaned against the head of the bed.

Lin Mian took out the newly bought Xiaomi, and found that Lu Yichao had sent him a WeChat message. When he was in the painting, his phone had no signal, so he just saw it now.

Vajra Gourd Baby: Linzi, you have a package delivered to the school, come and pick it up when you are free~

pack?

Lin Mian was a little surprised. He hasn't bought anything online recently. Besides, even if the address of the shopping must be written as a research institute, why is it in the school?

Paji:? ?Where did the package come from?

It was only after the news was sent that Lin Mian realized that it would be one o'clock in the morning. Lu Yichao probably had already fallen asleep. Just as he was about to put down the phone, the screen turned on again.

Vajra Gourd Baby: Zhelin Village.

Lin Mian looked at the three words on the chat interface and became even more puzzled. Zhelin Village was the place where he lived with the old teacher for the past ten years. The old teacher passed away last year. He came to Sichuan City to attend university and never went back. Who would? Send him a package?

But doubts are doubts, he still replied to Lu Yichao.

Paji: OK, I'll pick it up the day after tomorrow.

At this time, Lu Yichao sent another message.

Vajra Gourd Baby: Damn, Linzi, you haven't slept yet so late?

Paji: That's right, I'm on a mission with the boss.

Vajra Gourd Baby:? ?Is your boss surnamed Zhou?

Paji: ...No.

Vajra Gourd Baby: I thought his name was Zhou Papi.

Lin Mian played with Lu Yichao for a while, tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, hesitated for a moment, sat up and looked at Wu Zhoubapi Ting, and asked softly, "Dean, what is that space in the painting?"

Just now, because Shen Qiming and others were around, he couldn't ask directly, and now there were only himself and Wu Ting in the room, so he asked out the doubts that were suppressed in his heart.

Wu Ting didn't hide anything, and thought about his wording before saying, "That's a crack in space, and acid used its inherently terrifying properties to create a fake manor on the crack."

Therefore, as soon as Suanyu was captured, the villa completely collapsed.

Lin Mian was slightly surprised.

"As I said before, since Nuwa mended the sky, the connection between the human world and the upper world has been completely closed. As time passed, the aura gradually became thinner, and many monsters fell asleep one after another. In recent years, the aura suddenly began to recover. These sleeping monsters have been awakened, such as the earth mole, vermilion scorpion, singing snake, horse belly, weed grass and the sour and sour that we encountered before.

The Special Management Office has been looking for the reason for the revival of spiritual energy for several years, but has no clue. "

When Wu Ting said this, Lin Mian's eyelids twitched, spiritual energy revived and space cracks...

Seeing the little assistant's expression, Wu Ting knew that he had thought of it.

"There is a gap in the closed passage between the human world and the upper world."

Lin Mian's pretty eyebrows frowned slightly: "The space we entered is the upper realm?"

Wu Ting shook his head: "That's just the partition layer. Apart from the partition layer, there is also a wide wind valley between the upper and lower realms. Ordinary people will die if they touch it."

Lin Mian remembered the sharp wind sound heard in the space.

"What's in the upper realm?" Lin Mian was curious.

"It is said that there is a world of bliss, full of spiritual energy, endless spiritual energy." Wu Ting snorted.

"It is said?" Lin Mian grasped the uncertainty in his words.

"Because no one has ever been there before." Wu Ting smiled, "The Valley of Wind is the hollow area left by Nuwa when she repaired the sky, because there were not enough five-color stones. Not only ordinary people can't touch it, even big monsters can't go through it .”

"The dean hasn't been there either?" Lin Mian asked.

Wu Ting was about to nod, when suddenly his body froze.

Here it is, the little assistant finally asked out in an insinuating manner.

Seeing that Wu Ting didn't answer, Lin Mian had no choice but to make persistent efforts and hit a straight ball: "Dean, what kind of monster are you?"

The moment Gouwei showed his true form in front of the little assistant, Dean Wu knew he couldn't escape, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

In fact, there was nothing bad to say at first, and the dean is very confident in his original body, tall, mighty and handsome, Assistant Lin will definitely praise him full of praise when he sees it.

But that was before learning that Lin Mian had sharp-mouth phobia. As for now, Director Wu suddenly became uncertain.

"Dean?" The little assistant looked at him eagerly, with sparkling deer eyes.

Wu Ting looked away unnaturally, coughed lightly and said, "What kind of monster do you think I look like?"

Lin Mian didn't expect Wu Ting to kick the ball to him again, she was stunned for a while, but she still thought about it seriously, and asked tentatively, "Xuangui?"

???

Master Dean: Xuan...Xuan, what can you say again?

Dean Wu felt as if a hundred groundhogs were digging holes in the ground, but he still said calmly, "Why do you think so?"

"Because the dean wears black clothes every day, just like the black turtle shell, and I heard from Brother Wei that you usually sit in the research institute and don't go out easily, which is very similar to the black turtle who doesn't like to move."

It sounds like...it makes sense.

The corner of Wu Ting's mouth couldn't help twitching.

Sharp mouth and black turtle...

Seeing Lin Mian looking at him expectantly, as if asking me if I guessed right, the dean gritted his teeth and nodded with difficulty.

Old Qi, borrow your vest.

The author has something to say:

About the armadillo (qiu)adillo (yu)——

It is recorded in "Shan Hai Jing Dong Shan Er Jing" that there is a beast, its shape is like a dodder with a bird's beak, an owl's eyes and a snake tail, and it sleeps when it sees people. It is called an armadillo.

It roughly means: there is a kind of beast that looks like a rabbit but has a bird's beak, eagle's eyes and snake's tail. It will feign death whenever it sees a person. Its name is Armadillo, and its sound is the same as its name. Wherever there will be locust plagues.

Yesterday, a baby guessed the original body of Brother Wei. It feels so good. I like it. This unit will end tomorrow. Refill~
