I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

When he saw the other party, Lu Tan felt a sense of trembling.

The hairs on his back suddenly stood up, goosebumps appeared, and a strange feeling of reality being broken enveloped him, just like the night at this moment, which was bone-chilling cold.

The figure was pitch black, as if shrouded in a black mist or wrapped in seaweed. His eyes were straight and dark red like blood. Lu Tiao did not see his other facial features, only his two hands, which were stretched out by the window. , that hand was not a human hand, but more like a collection of tentacles. The squirming tentacles grabbed the window sill and kept squirming, as if they contained the deepest malice in the world.

After looking at each other for a moment, Lu Tian's body started to move naturally. He shouted in his throat and pushed open the window.

Peng——

The guy was shocked by Lu Tiao's behavior and fell from the window sill as if he wanted to escape.

"Somebody come!"

Lu Tiao also shouted at this time. He saw the guy fall from the second floor and hit the ground with a thud. It spread like a puddle of mud, but under Lu Tiao's gaze, the thing quickly gathered together. , squirming like a caterpillar, escaping into the darkness.

"What's wrong?"

Shia poked her head out and saw Lu Tiao opening the window and shouting something.

"I saw that, the man in the water."

Lu Tiao simply said that he tried to capture the direction in which the other party left, but the villa was surrounded by lush woods. It was impossible to see clearly under the moonlight. He could only remember a general direction. He looked in that direction and found that it was at the foot of the mountain. Residential settlement, nearby is the port.

"you saw it?"

Shia looked over Lu Tiao's shoulder, but could only see a patch of night.

"He ran into the woods. I'm going to take a look. He may have wandered into a residential area."

Lu Tran replied. He turned around and saw Amber and Hongye looking at the door of his room. They didn't know what was going on. Hongye was a little funny, thinking that Lu Tran was scared because of his timidity.

Thumb thump thump——

There was a sound of footsteps, and Xia and Lu Tan saw that it was Drizzt, followed by Zou Changyu.

"what happens?"

Drizzt asked a little warily.

"The man we were talking about in the water this afternoon, I just saw him appear on the window sill."

Hearing Lu Jian's words, both Drizzt and the owner of the villa, Zou Changyu, felt a little unbelievable.

"A thief?"

Zou Changyu immediately took out his mobile phone and started to call the police and called security guards at the same time.

"Search the yard thoroughly for me, and search the mountain again tomorrow morning."

His expression was a little ugly. After all, his own child also died of a thief. Now that he might encounter it again, he felt extremely indignant.

"I saw him heading towards the islanders' town. Let's go there and have a look."

Lu Tran said, looking at the amber and red leaves at the door again.

"You two stay here, preferably in the same room, and don't move around."

he ordered.

At this time, Hongye and Amber realized the seriousness of the matter. They nodded and retreated into the room.

"That's not human."

Lu Tan whispered to Shia and Drizzt.

"I saw him fall from the second floor and turn into a puddle of mud, but he didn't die. I looked at him and he didn't look like a human being."

He thought of the sludge monsters he often dealt with in foreign lands, but the two were somewhat different. To be honest, this one was more like the most primitive and elementary kind.

Drizzt's expression was serious. Although he didn't believe in monsters, he had seen the influence of the jade pendant, and he knew very well that the inner story involved in this case must be beyond his imagination.

"Maybe they are people who mutated after being exposed to radiation."

Shia guessed that this was based on what she knew was the most common sense and could explain what she saw.

"By the way, where's the jade pendant?"

Lu Tiao asked when he saw that Drizzt was not holding a box in his hand.

"I'll go check it out."

He said a few words to Zou Changyu, then left with a security guard. After a while, Drizzt went upstairs.

"Still."

He placed the jade pendant in the safe in the basement of the villa, together with some antiques collected by Zou Changyu. Drizzt just confirmed that the box was still there.

"In this case, the three of us will go to the town and ask, Mr. Zou, please strengthen the security around the villa. There are no ships leaving this island at night, so the suspicious person cannot escape."

Drizzt said to Zou Changyu, and the old man nodded.

The three of them packed up their things, borrowed a car, and quickly drove down the mountain and arrived at the town along the road with dense vegetation on both sides.

It is now ten o'clock in the evening, and most of the shops on the island except for the bars are closed. Only the weak lights on the second floor still smell of people.

Lu Tiao got out of the car and looked back at the villa on the mountain. It was indeed very conspicuous, like a castle.

He was not sure whether the man was hiding in the woods, jumped into the sea, or was hiding in this town.

The lively scene during the day has disappeared, and now the place looks like a run-down town in some horror games, shrouded in dull sea fog, and the street lights swaying in the hazy, leaving dim shadows.

"It's a little quiet."

Drizzt said that he could only hear some noise from the bar, but in the residents' homes, there was no sound from the TVs.

He came to the door of the bar. The bar, which was still roaring, suddenly became quiet when Drizzt approached.

In the silence that could hear a needle drop, Drizzt came to the door of the bar. Behind the sliding door, it was as dead as a tomb.

Drizzt glanced at the bar door, which could be pushed open with just a little force.

But some eerie premonition stopped Drizzt's hand on the door.

The somewhat old and mottled wooden door seemed to have been poured with cement, and Drizzt could not make up his mind to push it open.

He felt as if there was a group of strange and ferocious people behind the door, leaning on the door panel and listening. Once Drizzt made any move, danger would swarm in.

Thinking of this, Drizzt's desire for survival made him take his hand back.

"What's wrong?"

Shia, who was looking into the alley, noticed Drizzt's behavior and asked.

Drizzt turned his head with a slightly stiff neck. He swallowed, straightened up, and slowly, without looking back, left in the direction of Shia, his footsteps very light.

Just as he passed the streetlight, and the shadow under the fog happened to be stepped on by his feet, Drizzt clearly heard that the originally quiet bar behind him suddenly started to become noisy again, and everything seemed as if nothing happened. .

"There's something wrong with this bar."

Drizzt gestured.

In other words, this town becomes a little weird after dark.

Drizzt couldn't describe this feeling, but he remembered that in the years when he first joined the job, he once encountered an operation to capture a murderer. At that time, at midnight, he took a gun and chased the prisoner into a bamboo forest. , after being separated from my colleagues, I felt the same way under the silent moonlight.

Dangerous and strange, as if a vicious criminal would emerge from the darkness and pounce on him at the next moment.

Drizzt remembered that at that time, his whole body was tense, and any disturbance would cause mental changes. It was not until a shout was heard in the distance that he finally came to his senses. His clothes were already completely wet.

Creepy.

"anyone there?"

However, at this moment, Lu Tiao came straight to the door of the bar and pushed the door open.
