Shen Zhiyu couldn't help but stood up, almost overturned the bowl: "Did you really find it?"

"Yeah," Yan Hui helped Yan Zhijin blow hot porridge, and said casually, "Now Matt and the others have been called to investigate."

Yan Zhijin took a bite of the warm porridge, tugged at his sleeves, and whispered, "I want to go and have a look."

"Wait a minute." Yan Hui also answered in a low voice.

After lunch, Yan Zhijin sent Shen Zhiyu away by letting him rest.

Yan Jin put on a coat for Yan Zhijin, put on a big fluffy hat only for winter, and swaggered him to the temple.

The police cordoned off the scene and are conducting a close investigation.Catherine stood in front of the altar and screamed, "You have no reason to mess around here!"

Matt crossed his arms and sneered as the police rampaged through the temple.

The structure of the temple is very simple, and a large part of the building is directly exposed to the sun, so the details of the structure can be seen at a glance.

The police searched around, but found nothing, and began to knock on the walls and pillars: "Is there something hidden here?"

They pierced the pillars with sharp instruments and bore deep holes in the majestic snake's belly.

They knocked off the pieces of the pillars, put them in bags with dignity, and said they would be tested for the presence of poisonous substances.

The powder that fell from the pillar fell on the sandy ground, and within a short while, it was submerged by the yellow sand from other places blown by the wind.

The originally intact pillar became riddled with holes. They didn't seem to be researching whether the pillar contained clues to the disappearance case, but deliberately poked a few big holes in the pillar.

They noticed something unusual under the carpet and ordered Matt to open the basement door.Matt ignored it, and they pried themselves with tools.

The door lock leading to the basement was bent into a twisted shape, and the secret place hidden underground was exposed to many people.

A faint smell of blood filled the air. Like cats smelling fish, they excitedly burrowed into the ground and ordered the owner of the basement to bind him with glowing shackles.

It's a pity that the owner of the basement is not easy to knead dough. He pulled out his dagger and glanced at them coldly. They could only dismiss their thoughts resentfully.

The bloody smell in the basement came from previously treated animals.This is where Matt and others meet occasionally, and they process some of the ingredients at that time.These bloodstains were left by the wild boars a few days ago. As long as the test is carried out, it will be clear that it has nothing to do with the protagonist of the disappearance case.

Just now he was so triumphant that he kicked the sacrificial table next to him.

The huge snake slough entrenched on the highest part of the sacrificial table fell together with his throne, and was stepped on by the person next to him.

The head of the snake slough was forced to tilt up.As a complete slough, it even includes the snake's eyes and snout.

Under the sunlight, the translucent white snake slough opened its mouth, like an enraged poisonous snake that was stepped on its back and was about to shoot out its venom.

Yan Zhijin frowned.The glare of the sun forced him to squint his eyes to identify the behavior of the crowd from a narrow field of vision: "Why did they do this? What the police have to do is to protect the scene."

They didn't seem to be investigating the scene, but rather released their desire to attack.

"They are also locals, and they have suffered a lot from Matt before," Yan Hui was very calm. "For them, this is a good opportunity for revenge. Wait until a few days later, when more professional people arrive, they There is no chance."

The uniformed crowd, unable to find what they were looking for, took out their anger on the rest of the temple.They moved out the barrels in the wine cellar, opened them, and drank the old wine at will.

They tossed the wine glasses and plates from the sacrificial table, claiming that the animal viscera and animal blood on them were filthy food with demonic powers.

They loaded the barrels into the car, claiming that the liquid in them was suspicious and needed to be tested.

They also put the snake slough into a bag, saying that it was an evil thing, and they wanted to take it back and destroy it.

Catherine roared, picked up the wine glass, threw it on the head of one of the men, and wrestled with him.

Matt also joined the fray without delay.

The scene was chaotic.Fragments of glasses and plates, splashes of wine, and ashes scraped off pillars were all mixed together.

Yan Zhijin clenched Yan Hui's hand uneasily, and looked at him anxiously.

Yan Hui's eyes were like a quiet night sky without stars and moons.He gracefully raised his right index finger, put it under his lips, and gave a soft "shh".

The fragile, casually held snake slough suddenly turned its head.

Its hollow eyes, made of thin membranes, glow vaguely.

The person holding it is in the middle of a battle, and has no energy to pay attention to its changes, but feels that the wind seems to have suddenly become stronger, and he will not be able to catch the snake slough in his hand.

He cursed and pressed the snake slough with his other hand, intending to put it in the bag.

Suddenly, he stopped, like a zombie, his breathing stagnated, and he rolled his eyes stiffly.

There was a sharp pain in his left hand.The head of the slough was stuck there.

He was sure it was just a slough, with no teeth present.

But he really felt the pain.

And the ensuing dizziness and feeling of powerlessness of losing control of the body.

He fell heavily to the ground, his eyes were still open, his limbs twitched, trying to grab the trouser legs of the people around him to remind them of the mutation.

But he couldn't control his body after all, he could only watch the huge snake climb off his body and swim to the other side calmly.

This is a large snake over eight meters long, showing a crystal-like translucent color.His scales glistened in the sun, and the shape of each scale was clearly visible, as if he was covered with a grid-like soft coat.

He swam to another person's feet like a stroll in the garden, showing his shining sharp teeth, and pierced his fangs into his unprotected ankle without hesitation.

"Duke Douglas..." he murmured.

Then lost consciousness.

The black cobra with bat wings flew down from the pillar, dragged its long body, and gathered into the temple.

The human beings who were fighting stopped the fight at the same time, looking at these wonderful creatures in shock.

The cobras showed their proud fangs, swooped down on the person who had just broken the pillar at a speed that was hard to see with the naked eye, opened their mouths, and swallowed their heads.

The people who were attacked screamed loudly, but their voices were blocked by the snake's mouth and could not travel very far.The violent struggle carved the fangs that pierced the back of their heads even deeper.

Thin little black snakes crawled out of the barrels and swarmed towards the drinkers.

They crawl into their mouths, nostrils, ear holes, and wherever there are holes.Their very small stature allows them to easily fit into these narrow passages.

The person who had just drunk blocked his ears, dug his fingers deep into his throat, and retched violently.

Catherine sat on the ground blankly, looked at the chaos in front of her, and muttered to herself: "God...God has come again..."

Matt also looked solemn.

Yan Zhijin turned around without looking carefully.

Yan Hui also hugged him face to face in cooperation, and patted his shoulder blades: "Are you scared?"

Yan Zhijin shook his head.

He felt that there was nothing wrong with Yan Hui's behavior.He just felt that this picture was a little disgusting.

Yan Hui raised the corners of his mouth mockingly: "Just let them have a nightmare."

Like every time before, it's just a cover-up.

When the police officers woke up, they found themselves lying on the ground intact.Flying snakes, biting sloughs, and little black snakes no longer exist.

It's just that the appearance of the temple was restored to its original state, the damage on the pillars and the ground disappeared, the wine cups and plates were neatly placed on the sacrificial table, and the snake slough was also sitting on a high place.

They got up from the ground in horror, forgot to remove even the wine, and fled into the police car.

By the way, I haven't forgotten to curse Matt and Catherine as gangsters, and Duke Douglas as a devil.

After they left, Catherine patted the ashes off her skirt, stood up again, and together with Matt, moved the wine back to the wine cellar.

"Benjamin's car was towed away by them." Yan Hui said, "If you want to see the car, you need to follow them to the police station."

Yan Zhijin waved his hand, indicating that this is not important.

"Do you want to go back? Or take a closer look?" Yan Hui asked Yan Zhijin.

Yan Zhijin lowered the brim of his hat to cover the sun, squinted his eyes and said, "I have a few questions for them."

***

Catherine regulated all the wine and looked at the tidy temple with satisfaction.

It must have been a manifestation of the gods just now, taught those people a lesson, and restored the temple to its complete appearance.

Even, the pillars look updated.

As soon as she and Matt were about to go back, they saw two people who shouldn't be here.

She rubbed her eyes and asked Yan Zhijin: "Aren't you recuperating? Why are you here?"

"Bask in the sun." Yan Zhijin licked his chapped lips.

"Huh? Does the sun have to be so far away?" Catherine asked.

"Need." Yan Zhijin said with certainty.

Catherine was not good at using her brain, so although she felt that Yan Zhijin's words were unbelievable, she didn't delve into it too deeply.

She asked happily: "Then do you want some wine? You don't know, we fought a tough battle just now."

"Other people are sick, and you let them drink?" Matt pushed her shoulder lightly, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and said lazily, "What are you looking for?"

Catherine muttered, "I eat delicious food when I'm sick. Why are you asking this?"

Matt ignored her, looked back at Snake Slough, and said meaningfully: "You guys are here for this, right?"

"What do you mean?" Yan Zhijin asked.

"Duke Douglas," Matt said bluntly, "all of a sudden, three biologists came to us. It's a coincidence, but I don't believe it. You are for Duke Douglas and his strange and powerful creatures Come on, don't you? I thought before that you were overly interested in our religion—both ours and Snowf's."

Basically missed it at all.

Yan Zhijin skipped his question and asked directly: "You and Benjamin have known each other for a long time. He is also from the orphanage, right?"

"You see?" Matt raised the corner of his mouth, "Yes, we knew each other back then, but we haven't seen each other in recent years. You also know that we are not the same way. Fortunately, he knows a lot and knows that we can't talk. Come on, rarely contact us."

"Obviously he was used as an experimental subject when he was a child, why is he still engaged in this industry?"

"Who knows." Matt rolled his eyes and said angrily, "He's pretty smart. He was adopted by the people who experimented on us very early. As I remember, he didn't live with us. But we When he fled, he didn't inform the police, so we lived in peace."

"He also saw the Duke of Douglas."

"Ah."

"I have a question. At that time, did the Duke Douglas you saw look like this snake with wings?" Yan Zhijin asked intently.

Matt sneered: "Actually, we haven't seen what he looks like, we only know that he exists. Probably because God can't look directly. He always sends these strange creatures to help us."

"Did he use the image of a lizard with wings?"

"No." Matt denied decisively, "absolutely not. So that winged lizard has nothing to do with us!"

Catherine also echoed: "I haven't seen a lizard either. If you don't believe it, you can ask other people. I don't believe anyone saw a lizard at that time."

Yan Zhijin was not very surprised, but further confirmed: "Benjamin also saw these winged snakes, and hid one privately."

"I don't know. No one noticed him, so it's possible you said that."

Yan Zhijin pondered for a moment, and asked, "After you parted ways, Benjamin came back here for his own research."

"Yeah, with a crowd every time," Matt said sarcastically, "it's awe-inspiring."

"He is very familiar with the staff of the National Forest Park because he often comes near the temple. They may know what his research is about."

"His lab is nearby, actually," Matt said languidly. "I don't know what he's working on, but he does come to the temple a lot. But he won't be allowed in as long as we're around. See upset him."

Yan Zhijin smiled slightly: "I have one last question. Do you have any clue about his disappearance? Why is his car near the temple?"

Matt frowned, and shot him sharply: "I guess he went crazy again. He came to the temple late at night, trying to find out the Duke's secret, but unexpectedly, he got himself into it."

"I think he lost himself just to keep the appointment." A gentle and gentle male voice suddenly sounded.

When Yan Zhijin heard this voice, all the muscles in his body tensed up.

He didn't need to look back, and he knew who the source of the voice was.

Wearing well-tailored casual clothes, Qi Li'an walked into the temple, and looked at Yan Zhijin affectionately: "Zhijin, why are you sick and come here? What should I do if the condition worsens?"
