monster he just wants to be a good guy

something wrong.

"Come on, eat more." Lu Man grabbed an octopus leg and put it into Gray Ball's mouth.

I just finished digesting the big meal last night, and now I have another seafood feast, the gray balls are full of eyes, I used to fight to the death in the wilderness to eat, now I can even pick up food after chasing Lu Man, and I can open it every day Eat your stomach full.

Although it almost jumped out of its chest when Uncle Liu told "Option [-]", but in general, apart from being a little scary and protecting its weaknesses, this big devil treats it well in terms of diet.

"Have you eaten enough?" Lu Man patted Gray Ball's head, Gray Ball's back was stiff and its tail was tucked up, and Lu Man still let Lu Man pat it.After working together to kill monsters yesterday, Gray Ball was not so resistant to his contact, but he was still a little scared and stiff.

"Don't be so nervous, I won't eat you." Gray Ball trembled again, "Remember, from now on you can only show your teeth to the enemy, not to the villagers. As long as you are obedient, I will treat you very well." OK."

Lu Man lightly stroked the fur on Huiqiu's back, the fluffy feel was good.

"Help me stay here."

Just as Lu Man was about to stand up, his footsteps staggered, and he fell straight down on Gray Ball's back.

"Xiao Man!" Uncle Liu and the others who were guarding above the cave panicked for a moment, found a relatively gentle slope along the cave wall, and slid down.Seeing strangers approaching, Gray Ball was about to bark its teeth threateningly, but suddenly recalled Lu Man's "threat" just now, put away its fangs, and stood there uncomfortably motionless.

Uncle Liu approached cautiously.

"What's wrong with him? Fainted?"

Lu Man's face was calm and his breathing was shallow. As soon as Uncle Liu touched Lu Man's wrist, he shrank back from the heat.From the look on his face, he seemed to be asleep, but the temperature on his body was a bit like a high fever.

He tried to help Lu Man who was crouching on the wolf monster, but he didn't expect that his actual weight didn't match his body shape at all. Uncle Liu couldn't lift him by himself, so several of them finally lifted him half back and half together Only then did Lu Man be brought up.

When Lu Man woke up, he saw the familiar ceiling in front of him, and he returned to his room.

He got up, opened the curtains and looked out the window, the moon was hidden behind the clouds, and the crickets were singing in the grass.It must have been late at night.

Lu Man poked his head out of the window, and the place where the gray ball cage was originally placed in the yard was empty.

He suddenly remembered what he told Gray Ball before he fainted.Worse, he had ingested too much octopus blood before, causing him to fall into a brief coma like the previous few times.

How long has it been now?What about that cave?How is everyone?

He was about to jump out through the window when he suddenly found a note left on the table.After a closer look, it was Aunt Lu who wrote it to him.

"I left porridge for you, warm it in the pot, if you are hungry, go downstairs to eat."

Lu Man listened and sniffed carefully, and could feel the breath of Aunt Lu and Lu Xiaoan.It sounded like they were all sleeping in their own rooms. Lu Man calmed down, opened the door on tiptoe, and went downstairs to the kitchen.

The porridge in the pot was still warm after half a night. Lu Man filled a bowl and ate it, warming him up.

He quietly walked out of the yard and ran towards the direction of the swamp.

There is fire over there.

When he got closer, Lu Man found that Zheng Qingmiao and Zhang Qingyan were all here, as well as some members of the hunting team.The cave still remained the same as it was when it was first formed in the afternoon. They set up tents around them, built a bonfire, and prepared all kinds of weapons outside, taking turns to watch the night like in the wilderness.

Even though it was late at night, the area around the swamp was still bustling with activity.Except for a group of people guarding the cave, the rest were divided into small groups and scattered around. The sound seemed to be shoveling soil.

Seeing Lu Man coming, Zheng Qingmiao waved at him, and Lu Man obediently ran over.

"How is your health? I heard from Uncle Liu that you had a fever this afternoon?"

"I'm fine." Lu Man waved his hands, it seemed that he was only in a coma for half a day this time, and the time interval was getting shorter and shorter.

In the previous three times, the wolf monster strengthened the five senses and attack power, the mist monster split characteristics and stretchability, and the bat monster improved flight, sound wave detection, and disturbance.

But this time, due to the short contact time and the monster octopus itself has been reduced to a puppet, he doesn't know what is so powerful about the monster octopus, and he can't sense any special abilities he has acquired.

Forget it, I will explore slowly later, the most urgent thing is to understand what happened during his coma.

"Nothing happened, did it?"

Zheng Qingmiao shook her head and talked to Lu Man about the current situation.

The blood from the octopus monster has a certain degree of toxicity, and no grass can grow on the soil polluted by the blue blood. This caused the trees in an area near the swamp to wither, and even the aquatic plants in the swamp were not spared.

In the afternoon, Zhang Qingyan and Dr. Lin followed Lu Xiaoan to dig up the place where the corpse had been buried before. Only two days later, the chicken corpse had already rotted and festered, and the blood spilled out soaked the surrounding land.

Zhang Qingyan guessed that the chicken was not directly attacked by a hermit crab before, but when foraging near the swamp, it accidentally ate rotten grass roots contaminated by blue blood, and the blood was also contaminated, resulting in a trance and slow reaction.If it hadn't been killed early, it would have been alienated into a monster a few days later.

"Now everyone is shoveling the soil nearby to confirm the scope of the blue blood pollution penetration as soon as possible. If it spreads to the farmland... it will be bad." Zheng Qingmiao explained to Lu Man.

All the people held lamps and shovels to shovel the ground overnight, digging holes every ten meters to check the condition of the underground soil.It has already been dug to the farmland.

Lu Man suddenly remembered something, and his eyes darkened.

"sorry."

He bowed his head to apologize, which made Zheng Qingmiao a little confused, why?

Zhang Qingyan, who had been listening all the time, came over and hit Zheng Qingmiao's ribs hard with her elbow, causing him to groan in pain.

Zhang Qingyan didn't pay attention to him, but put her hand on Lu Man's shoulder lightly.

"Don't worry, it's not your fault. When you killed the monster before, you made a lot of blue blood. We cleaned it up in time this afternoon, and it didn't cause any bad effects." Only then did Zheng Qingmiao understand why Lu Man was feeling self-conscious. The child thought that the pollution of the land was caused by himself inadvertently.

He had discovered from before that Lu Man liked to take all kinds of dangers and responsibilities on himself, and he was worrying about adults at a young age... Really.He also stepped forward and patted Lu Man on the other shoulder.

"Your sister Qingyan is right. This kind of pollution is not formed overnight, but the result of long-term accumulation. Xiaoman, you have done a good job. If you didn't discover and kill the monster in time, maybe the entire Qingmiao Village would be destroyed. It's making a fuss about it!"

Lu Man remained silent, but nodded slightly and exhaled.

"Brother Qingmiao, have you looked inside the cave?"

"Not yet. Because the current situation is unknown, we just sealed off the entrance of the cave. The wolf... is also guarding below." Lu Man looked down and saw that the gray ball was still obediently guarding the entrance of the cave, with its abdomen pressed against the ground and limbs Crouching is a posture in which one can stand up and meet the enemy immediately when encountering danger.

"It was the same in Wulu Town before. The ground suddenly collapsed, revealing a big hole, and then monsters emerged from the hole. We suspect that the hole in the swamp is the monster's lair mentioned in the letter sent back by Uncle Lu." Zheng Qingmiao They all looked serious.

"Of course, a monster cave appeared in Qingmiao Village. This is the worst scenario expected."

"It's also possible that this is just an ordinary cave."

Everything is still unknown.

"I want to go deeper." Lu Man looked into the dark cave, took a step forward, and was pulled back by Zhang Qingyan and Zheng Qingmiao.

"No, it's too dangerous..." Seeing Lu Man's calm eyes, Zheng Qingmiao choked up.What Lu Man is most afraid of is danger, he already knew it.This reason could not convince him.

"Don't rush for a while. For the time being, guard the entrance of the cave and survey the surrounding pollution. The rest will be resolved after the current crisis is resolved." Zhang Qingyan joined in in time to save Zheng Qingmiao, who was at a loss for words.

Lu Man thought for a moment, then took back the steps he had taken.

"Okay." He nodded, which made Zheng Qingmiao heave a sigh of relief.

"Do you still have a shovel?" Lu Man asked.

"You still have a long body, but you can't grow tall if you stay up late." Zheng Qingmiao laughed heartily.

"I slept for a long time, and now I can't fall asleep even if I want to sleep." Lu Man said, "I also want to dig the soil with everyone."

In the end, Lu Man successfully got his small shovel, put a sweat towel on his shoulder, and joined the excavation team.

"As expected of Xiao Man, he is so talented even in digging!" Not long after, there was an exclamation from not far away.

Zheng Qingmiao and Zhang Qingyan who were stationed by the cave looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the scope of land pollution was quickly calculated.The scope of the pollution spanned a kilometer, and almost half of the village suffered.

The deep soil under the newly built houses in Wulu Village was all polluted with blue blood.But fortunately, because they had just moved here and hadn't had time to dig a well, the water was taken to the original residential area of ​​Qingmiao Village, so no one drank the polluted water.

Further outside, dozens of acres of farmland near the swamp were also polluted.Due to the relatively long distance, there is less strange blood seeping in, and the pollution is not strong, so the crops in the farmland are still growing well.

As soon as the result came out, Lu Man expressed impatiently that he wanted to go into the cave to have a look.

"No, you can't be allowed to act alone this time, and it's not easy to deal with any danger. Let's go together."

After being rejected by Zheng Qingmiao, Lu Man did not show any abnormality.

But after lunch, Lu Man disappeared.

"My brother went out after eating, saying he was going to pull weeds in the fields."

But the paddy fields of the Lu family were extremely calm, without mud marks or ripples.

"Oops, that guy... must have sneaked away!"

I hurried to the cave and asked the team members who were guarding. They just happened to have a meal and changed shifts, so they didn't notice if anyone slipped into the cave.

The gray ball was still dozing in the pit, when suddenly someone stood in front of it.

Looking up, it was a familiar person again.Zheng Qingmiao, Zhang Qingyan, Li Nan, and Liu Kuangye stood in front of it and surrounded it, making Gray Ball dream back to the situation when they were kidnapped by the four of them hand in hand in the wilderness before.

What, what is this for? !Going to kidnap wolves again?It stood up vigilantly and backed away.

"I saw Lu Man talking to the wolf before... Does this mean that it can understand human speech?" Zheng Qingmiao looked at the gray ball, eager to try.

"Why don't you ask it if it can understand?" Liu Kuangye sneered secretly in his heart, how could a beast understand human speech.

Unexpectedly, Gray Ball's head bobbing up and down actually answered Liu Kuangye's question.

Liu Kuangye quickly took a step back, hid behind Li Nan, and looked at it in horror.

Why, I have never seen a wolf that can understand human language!Gray Ball gave him a blank look.

"Let me ask you, have you ever seen Lu Man passing by here just now?" Zhang Qingyan squatted down, kept her eye level with the gray ball, and looked at it seriously, "If you have, just nod your head twice."

Just now there was indeed a black image rushing into the cave like a gust of wind, but it didn't care.

Thinking about it now, it seems to be the smell of the big devil.

Gray Ball nodded cooperatively, and the four immediately turned and left, fully armed and aggressively walking towards the unknown cave.

Zheng Qingmiao led the way with a lantern in his hand, and the others followed cautiously behind Zheng Qingmiao. Several people were tied together by safety ropes around their waists, and other teammates pulled ropes on the cave to support them.

Under the light, Zheng Qingmiao could see a string of fresh footprints on the wet and soft soil, which should belong to Lu Man.

Along the way, they didn't encounter any danger, but occasionally they could see imprints left by unknown creatures and broken limbs that did not belong to humans on the ground.

The passage is straight and there are no forks. The more they walked, the wider it became, and the deeper it went, the quieter it became.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Liu Kuangye, who was in charge of the end of the palace, looked back, and the passageway they entered had long since disappeared from sight. In the deep cave, there was only a gleam of fire in Zheng Qingmiao's hand, illuminating the dead darkness.

Ah, so boring.It feels like the air inside is getting thinner, and the light of the fire burning in the glass cover is getting dimmer because of it.

Not only stuffy, but also hot.Zheng Qingmiao wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hand.

"Zheng Qingmiao...turn off the light."

Behind him, Zhang Qingyan seemed to have discovered something, and whispered.

Although he didn't know what happened, out of trust in his teammates, he opened the glass cover and blew out the burning candle wick inside.

They were suddenly plunged into darkness.The afterimages of the previous lights were still reflected on the retinas, and they temporarily stayed in place for a while before re-adapting to the darkness.

so dark.Zheng Qingmiao raised her hand and grasped it in front of her eyes, but she couldn't see the outline of her fingers clearly... Eh?Wait a minute.Can actually see it?

Zheng Qingmiao's eyes widened, and suddenly realized that the surroundings were not completely dark.bright!

Turning his head to observe, clusters of blue-green cold flames bloomed in the darkness, quietly following them around at some point.

"Damn it!" Liu Kuangye cursed in a low voice from behind. It was clear that these strange flames were not just his illusion, but something real.

"What's all this?" Looking at the looming and erratic flames, Zheng Qingmiao's hair shuddered all over his body.

"These... seem to be phosphorus fires." Li Nan, the oldest and most experienced among them, suddenly said.

"wildfire?"

"I've seen it a few times in the wilderness before, usually on sultry summer nights."

Knowing that this is not a monster but a normal natural phenomenon, Zheng Qingmiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Before he could recover, Li Nan said:

"When I went out with Lu Chuan before, he once told me that some kind of gas will be formed after the bones rot, and that gas will burn without ignition. It should be this kind of fire."

"Bones?" Zhang Qingyan keenly grasped the key words.

Under the light of the faint blue fire, Zheng Qingmiao, who was walking in the front, suddenly saw a hazy figure in the darkness in the distance.

"who?"

Zheng Qingmiao stopped and asked loudly.

There was a dead silence ahead, and there was no answer.Zheng Qingmiao quickly uncovered the lampshade, lit the fire again, and raised the lantern to shine forward.

Judging from his body shape, it was Lu Man!He walked forward quickly and came behind Lu Man.

"Xiaoman?" Zheng Qingmiao asked in a low voice.

Lu Man didn't reply, but just stood there quietly.

Zheng Qingmiao took another two steps forward, grabbed Lu Man's shoulder, and walked to the back.

Lu Man's whole body was turned around by him, his black eyes just opened like this, looking at him intently, without any emotional fluctuations, not like a living person, but more like a lifelike clay puppet.

Zheng Qingmiao felt horrified, and reached out to probe Lu Man's nose.

Moist and light breath came from the fingers.

He was relieved.

The companions behind have followed up.

"Are you okay?" Zhang Qingyan looked at Lu Man with some concern.

Zheng Qingmiao shook her head: "He's still alive." He just didn't know why he didn't answer them, as if he had lost his soul.

"Look...there seems to be no way ahead, is this the end?" Liu Kuangye pointed to the front and said to them.

It really looked like a wall in front of him. Zheng Qingmiao raised his hand casually and shone the light on the wall.

With just that one glance, cold sweat fell from behind everyone's back, screams were held in their throats and they were suppressed.

Harbor District 6, the first stop.

Chen Mu was dealing with today's daily affairs when the communicator beeped.

He checked the incoming message, frowned, stood up and strode towards the infirmary.

"Adjutant Chen, I'm finally expecting you!" Seeing Chen Mu approaching, Doctor Xiao Zhong greeted him as if seeing a savior.

"What's wrong?" Lu Man hasn't woken up for the past few days. Although his face looks rosy, Chen Mu is still worried that something is wrong. Out.But the infirmary actually summoned him to say that there was a big problem.

"Look at this report." Doctor Xiao Zhong handed over a report.

Chen Mu glanced hastily, feeling a little dizzy looking at Yiliu's index. He pinched his brows and put down the thick stack of paper: "Just tell me, I don't understand."

"Oh, let me explain."

"First of all, the blood test results are all right, and everything is normal."

"Then, there are no fractures or broken organs in the body, and there are no external injuries such as abrasions and congestion on the body surface. It can be said that there is no injury at all."

His tone was slow, and the veins on Chen Mu's forehead twitched violently: "Get to the point."

"I'm just about to talk about it. Don't worry, Adjutant Chen. Judging from the results of the filming, the problem... lies in the patient's brain!"

"Brain?" Chen Mu raised his eyebrows.

"Look." Doctor Xiao Zhong pulled out two pictures, and pointed to the one on the left to show to Chen Mu, "I took this picture for myself some time ago. My brain is beautiful in shape and big in size, so I compare it to the one on the left. Normal people are smart."

There was still a little imperceptible smugness in his tone, Chen Mu automatically ignored his nonsense and looked at the picture on the right.

At first glance, there seems to be no difference between the two results. Chen Mu looked back and forth between the two for a few seconds, and finally found the clue.

"Compared with the one on the left, this one seems a little smaller."

"That's right! As expected of Adjutant Chen, you must have a beautiful brain."

Chen Mu was speechless, wondering if he should accept such a different kind of compliment.

"What kind of disease is this?"

"The brain generally undergoes structural changes after the age of 40. Decreased brain volume, reduced brain cells...these are all manifestations of brain atrophy."

"But Lu Man is only 15 years old."

"It's possible for young people to have it. Genetics, traumatic brain injury, bad lifestyle, it's all possible. But this patient's brain shrinkage is a little different."

Dr. Xiao Zhong glanced at the film again, and suddenly said: "Wait a minute, I took the wrong one!"

He rummaged through the box for a while, but couldn't find it, so he rushed to another room to search, and finally came over with another one after a while.

The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Adjutant Chen, it was circulated by my group of ignorant colleagues...it's the right one."

Chen Mu stared at the newly taken film in his hand, his eyes widened.

"Where's the brain?" After a long while, he held back a sentence.

"Here!" Doctor Xiao Zhong pointed to him.

Chen Mu pushed his glasses and took a lot of effort to see the thumb-sized thing in his head.

"The brain of a normal person needs to be at least as big as a fist. It is amazing that this patient's brain is only as small as a nut! What is even more amazing is that it is the first time I have seen the brain shrink to such a small size. People who can still maintain normal vital signs!"

Chen Mu heard the word "brain" too much, and felt that his brain was aching, and he might also have a tendency to shrink.

"What, what should I do?" He rarely lost his composure and panicked.

"There is a possibility of becoming a vegetable forever. Even if you wake up by chance... you may lose your memory." Doctor Xiao Zhong said with a serious expression.

"Amnesia?" Chen Mu's face was serious.

"It's also possible to become mentally handicapped."

"Retarded..." Chen Mu's face turned pale all of a sudden.

"Oh yes, there is also the possibility of personality changes. All in all, anything is possible, Adjutant Chen must be mentally prepared."

In District 0 Prison, Room [-] has been replaced with a comfortable mattress and fluffy pillows. A teenager is lying quietly on the bed with his hands folded on his chest.

The morning whistle sounded three times, and the prisoners dragged their heavy steps one after another, reluctantly going out.

The boy seemed to be disturbed by the noise outside, his brows frowned, and his thick eyelashes trembled slightly.

Then, he suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked at the dusty ceiling quietly, and continued to lie flat on the bed for a while.The eyeballs rolled and glanced somewhere.There is a newly installed surveillance camera in the corner of the ceiling.

The boy opened his mouth, and an inaudible sound escaped from his mouth.

In the distance, white dots flashed on a certain monitoring screen in the monitoring room, and the connection with a certain camera was interrupted.It was still early, and the person in charge was lying on the table to catch fish and sleep soundly.

He got up, stepped on the cold ground with bare feet, and walked towards the heavy iron prison door.

With a click, the door opened.He stepped forward with ease, and quietly blended into the group of prisoners, as naturally as a drop of water reflowing into a river.
