monster he just wants to be a good guy

Do you know what that light is?

The garbage heap is on the edge of a well-ventilated cliff not far from the nest. This eagle monster still has the awareness of sorting garbage, and there is a clear boundary between the leftover bones and daily excrement.

Lu Man took a rough look around the bone area, and found that the skeletons of large animals still retained their shapes, and there were many scattered bones on the ground, many of which were weathered. how clean.No human skeletons have been seen yet.

He went to the excretion area next to him, took a branch and cleaned it a few times, and finally found what he was looking for.

The pigeon has been digested by the monster, and the indigestible metal anklet is excreted.

Lu Man looked at the gleaming leg ring soaked in the dirty bird droppings, turned his head and walked towards the strange eagle.

Lu Man hadn't untied the whip that was tied to it, so it could only bounce and follow behind Lu Man.

The monster's beak was very sharp, and it could break this kind of rope by moving its mouth, but it was a little afraid of Lu Man, so it didn't dare to move, so it had to wait and see what happened.

"Can I borrow something from you?"

Lu Man's tone was quite polite, and the monster nodded because he didn't understand.

In the next second, there was a groan, and Lu Man grabbed a feather from his body.

It is proud of its unruly and beautiful hair!

"Thank you."

After thanking Lu Man, he ignored the furious eagle monster, turned around and wrapped the ankle ring with the long eagle feather, took it out, and wiped the edge of the feather.

He opened the cover and took out the letter paper sealed inside. The scrap paper was still intact, and Lu Man unfolded the letter.

"Old Zheng: The weather is really bad today.

We wanted to go through the mountain to the wall at the edge of the wilderness, but the forest was dangerous, so we detoured east.

I was thinking about a question before.After a normal animal is alienated into a monster, its reproductive function will be destroyed.In other words, monsters cannot reproduce naturally, and new monsters can only be born by infecting alienated normal animals.

In a closed environment, if no alien species enter, as time goes by, monsters will be killed and fewer, and humans will be born more and more.

However, after 30 years of siege and blockade, the number of monsters has not decreased, but more and more. What is the reason?There must be an unknown path, but we still have no clue.

Maybe it's not a normal road, but a celestial road, or...a hole?Xiaoman gave me some inspiration.Watch out for the swamp in the village!Maybe a new channel is forming there.Of course, it's just a guess. The current conditions are not very favorable. We can measure it when the water level of the swamp is lower.It's better to be cautious.

By the way, the pigeons are running out, there are three left, but we still need to stay outside for a while.

So, after that, write back every seven days.

All is well, don't read.Lu Chuan

Both the front and the back of the letter were densely written, and Lu Man was all too familiar with Uncle Lu's flamboyant and unrestrained handwriting.

This time he took the risk of being captured by the monster, just wanting to come to the nest to see if Uncle Lu was caught here by the monster, and if there was still a letter from the eaten pigeon left in the nest.It was a worthwhile trip.

It seems that Uncle Lu and the others are all right.I didn't receive a reply before, just because the carrier pigeon was eaten by a monster.Now the village chief and the others should have received Uncle Lu's next reply.

Detour east... where is east?

"Xiao Ai, where is the mountain to the east?"

"Nine o'clock on the left."

Lu Man looked in the direction of his left hand, and the tower stood in the center of his sight.Uncle Lu and the others went around to the core city.

At higher altitudes it is much darker than usual at night.The sky was colored orange-pink by the setting sun, and they were so close to the sky now, the warm yellow clouds were almost palpable.

Lu Man walked towards the grass nest, intending to rest here overnight.As soon as he turned back, he noticed with sharp eyes that there seemed to be something hidden under the haystack.

He stepped forward, wanting to stretch out his hands to see what it was, when the whip on his waist suddenly tightened, and he was taken two steps back.The strange eagle jumped over quickly, spread its wings, its eyes were like fire, and it assumed a deterrent posture, trying to protect the things under the haystack.Lu Man was stunned for a while, remembering that the strange eagle was standing in this place just now, as if some treasure was hidden here.

Seeing that it was determined, Lu Man didn't want to continue to spy on it, so he went to the other side of the grass nest and spread out the sleeping bag.

It was completely dark.

Through the hazy moonlight, Lu Man saw thick miasma slowly rising from the forest below the mountain. Near the foot of the mountain, the forest became denser and the fog thicker, and the peaks emerged from the fog one by one.This miasma is estimated to be poisonous and not suitable for long-term survival of living things.No wonder there were no animals in the forest, and even the chirping of insects was not heard last night.

Small animals were poisoned to death by the poisonous miasma, and medium and large animals were eaten by eagle monsters, so it became a dead mountain.

The line of sight looks into the distance.The wilderness on the right was silent and dark.

There are no lights in the core urban area on the left, and the tall tower reflects the night sky, as if stars have fallen into the world.

Suddenly, at the top of that small piece of galaxy in the urban area, a new star slowly lit up.

Its light was very weak at first, and gradually became brighter and brighter, from a sesame seed to the size of a rice grain.

At first, Lu Man thought that it was also a night scene reflected on the tower, but slowly, he realized that it was not a star in the sky.

That's an artificial star!

The ray of light almost overwhelmed the sky, blooming in the dark night, so dazzling that Lu Man's vision was completely occupied by the ray of light, so that he had no time to think about other things.

It kept trembling, flickering, and finally went out.

Then came the next round of lights, flashes, and extinguishes.

When the light came on for the third time, Lu Man finally broke away from the shock, and silently counted the frequency of the light flickering in his heart.

The last flicker, the light goes out, and the city returns to darkness.But the light still remained in front of his eyes.

Lu Man remembered the dark hole near the top of the tower that he saw during the day.

Someone is passing through that hole, using light to send a signal to the outside.

Three short - three long - three short.

is a person?Or a monster?What exactly does this frequency represent?

Before Lu Man could ask Xiao Ai, the strange eagle beside him suddenly cooed softly.It looked in the same direction as Lu Man, standing on one foot on the haystack, its posture reminded Lu Man of their old hen.

It realized that Lu Man was staring at itself, and tilted its head to look at Lu Man.I don't know if it is because of the soft moonlight, but there is still a little tenderness in its eyes.

"Do you know what that light is?" Lu Man said to himself, not expecting a response, but unexpectedly the monster nodded slightly.

"you know?"

Lu Man blinked in surprise.Strange Eagle nodded and puffed up his chest.

"How did you know?"

The monster froze a bit dullly, shaking its head from time to time, as if trying to remember something.Lu Man could actually see the distressed expression on an eagle's face.

After a while, the monster shook his head.

It doesn't remember... it just has a vague memory.

The strange eagle hesitated for a moment, then opened the wings that had been surrounding him, revealing a small horn, and after Lu Man glanced at it, he retracted it stingily.

With the moonlight, Lu Man could see clearly.There was a skull as white as snow.

"Why do you bury the person who ate it here?" Lu Man was a little puzzled.

The eagle chirped in dissatisfaction, spread its wings and flapped twice violently, expressing strongly its feeling of being insulted.

This is not what it eats!

Strange Eagle himself didn't know why he wanted to bury this skeleton here.

It forgot a lot of things, where it was born and where it grew up. It only remembered that when it woke up in the forest, it had become as huge as a giant tree.

Later, when he was out hunting, he saw this human being from a height of ten thousand feet—he was torn apart by countless wolves, and he was on the verge of death.

For some reason, it suddenly had an impulse, swooped down from the air, and in an instant, brought the human being besieged by wolves out of danger.

The body between the claws was cold and stiff.

It didn't know why it brought this human back to its home.Occasionally, however, he likes to trick animals by catching them in the air, letting them go, and then catching them in mid-air.

Perhaps this is a new kind of game, and this person is its pet.

Every time he came back, the monster would give him a few pieces of meat, but he never ate it once.He didn't drink the water, didn't move, just looked at it blankly with his dark eyes.

Maybe it was too cold on the mountain.It took the man to the den and covered him with grass.

I don't know how long it took, but one day, when it opened the straw mat to feed water, the man had disappeared, leaving only a clean and white skeleton.

"Do you mind showing me?" Lu Man's soft voice interrupted its thoughts.

The monster hesitated for a moment, then moved its claws away.Maybe the weirdo knew this man.

Lu Man walked over and removed the grass that was spread on it.The moment his hand touched it, he realized that, unlike the messy branches and grass roots scattered here and there in the nest, the dry grass here was neatly organized.Maybe the monster didn't realize it, but it cherished the skeleton buried here.

The whole skeleton was revealed in front of him.

First impression, is clean.Maybe the monster was well taken care of, maybe the weather conditions on the top of the mountain were suitable, the whole skeleton was extremely complete, and it was still wearing the clothes it had worn before it died.

Lu Man had never seen such a style of clothing before. He touched it lightly, and the fabric was also different from the ones commonly used in their village.Thick to the touch, fine and clean, the whole dress looks majestic even if it is worn on the bones.

"Xiao Ai, can you deduce the time of death?"

"No problem! Judging by the altitude and climate conditions, at least five years."

This was the first time that Lu Man met someone outside the village, although it was just a skeleton that had been dead for many years.

He rummaged through his pockets for something identifying.

Their Qingmiao Village has specially set aside a mountain bag to bury the bones of the villagers.Death of old age, disease, infancy, battle... Even if it is eaten by a monster and has only one leg left, it must be taken back to the village and buried in the village.

Fallen leaves return to their roots, and ashes return to ashes after death. Only at home can we sleep peacefully.

Lu Man thought about it for a while. He didn't want to be buried in the monster's nest after his death, so this person should be too.

This suit also had a lot of pockets, and Lu Man searched four or five pockets of his jacket but found nothing.The strange eagle's gaze became more and more hot, and it was on the verge of turning its face.

Lu Man turned the coat over and found that there were inner pockets on the lining of the coat.He put his hand in, and the bones were cold, like a piece of ice stuck to the back of his hand.

His fingertips touched something.
