secret chat room

Tianxidong is one of the southernmost cities in Jiangnan District. In mid-July, even in the evening, the temperature is still frighteningly hot.

It was almost six o'clock in the evening, almost seven o'clock, and the sky was still slightly bright.

The sun in summer likes to delay more than in other seasons, refusing to get off work, just like a new employee who has endless work and is forced to work overtime without pay.

Today's last ray of sunlight slanted into the window through the gauze curtain, shone into the room, and reflected on a man sitting on a chair by the window.

It happens that the tall bridge of the nose serves as the dividing line, and the entire body below is bathed in sunlight, while a pair of elusive eyes are completely hidden in the darkness.

Without the lights on, the light coming from only one window made the whole room look unusually dark, even inexplicably gloomy.

"Qua~"

A strange sound, like the most common frog croaking by the pond, suddenly sounded in the room, but for some reason it revealed a hint of aggrievedness.

Zhuang Xie, who was sitting on the chair, withdrew his gaze and slowly looked into the room.

The room was in a mess, and all kinds of furniture were knocked crookedly. The solid table lamp in the living room was broken into two pieces, and the head was drooping. The sofa was also in tatters, and there was even suspected cotton in the pillows scattered all over the floor. It seemed that something had happened.

More than three huskies have wreaked havoc.

A monster that looked like a toad standing upright was lying limply on the ground, breathless. Its originally bulging belly had completely deflated. One of the high heels on its feet was missing, and the other one was broken.

Heel, barely hanging on those ugly feet.

Feeling Zhuang Xie's gaze directed over him, the monster's big bulging eyes showed a human-like look of fear, and its webbed claws scraped the ground desperately, trying to get away from Zhuang Xie.

Just half an hour ago, Zhuang Xie pulled out the creature that was lying limp on the ground from his own shadow, and stared at its belly for a long time. Just when the toad was a little confused,

Zhuang Xie grabbed the guy's lower limbs, which were nondescriptly painted with nail polish and wearing high heels, and he lifted them upside down and began to shake them off vigorously.

The toad only felt a snap, and it was so fast! The whole world began to turn upside down.

Those big bulging eyes began to change from confusion to extreme panic.

Because Zhuang Xie felt that shaking it off had no effect, he began to take new measures.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"puff!"

"Clang!"

"boom!"

"Kata!"

...

The scene was so greedy that it felt like setting up a hot pot...

Bah, cruel.

All in all, just as the Hulk could defeat Loki, Zhuang Xie could defeat the toad.

finally.

"vomit!"

After the toad finally experienced a close contact between his head and the right-angled edge of the toilet threshold, he couldn't bear it anymore and vomited with a grimace.

Zhuang Xie paused and looked at the ghost that came out of the toad's big mouth.

It was the face of an ordinary middle-aged woman. After she escaped from the trap, her originally ferocious grimace returned to that of an ordinary person, but she looked a little dull and seemed to have lost consciousness.

Seeing that it was working, Zhuang Xie grabbed the toad's lower limbs with both hands tighter.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"puff!"

"Clang!"

"boom!"

"Kata!"

.......

Ten minutes later, one grimace after another emerged from the toad's belly, and its belly deflated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ghosts with sanity began to appear, and a ghost that looked like an old man even knelt down before him, presumably thinking that Zhuang Xie was a Taoist who subdued demons.

"Crack!"

Pull.

Didn't pull.

Um?

Zhuang Xie's face darkened and he looked over, only to see the toad hooking the edge of the coffee table with its tongue full of inverse hooks. Its huge, fierce eyes were full of begging for mercy.

"No, besides, I need to find someone!"

Zhuang Xie's words had no ups and downs, but they were full of decisive meaning.

"Quack~quack! Quack..."

The toad put down the coffee table, looked at the ghosts with a pair of big round eyes, and anxiously yelled out frog calls with different syllables.

"..."

"Sorry, I don't understand."

Zhuang Xie stared at the toad for a moment, frowned, and then raised his hand to continue pushing the toad toward the wall.

"Ugh! Poof!"

The toad became anxious and quickly opened its mouth, only to see the ghost of a little girl floating out of its mouth.

"Oh? You mean, you can spit it out yourself without me doing this, right?"

Zhuang Xie was slightly surprised.

“Quack quack quack!!!Quack quack quack!!!”

The toad uttered several quick frog sounds, and if it hadn't had a neck, it might have been nodding its head desperately.

"That's it!" Zhuang Xie hesitated for a moment and put down the toad's lower limbs, and the toad slid softly to the ground.

"Why didn't you say anything just now?"

The toad's human eyes looked at Zhuang Xie numbly.

"Qua... Gua... Gua~"

Damn, you didn’t ask just now!

It's a quick start...

Ah Ha feels bitter...

...

Knowing what Zhuang Xie meant, the toad opened his mouth and began to spit out the grimaces in his belly one by one. Every time he spit out a grimace, the toad seemed to become a little more depressed.

Obviously, this kind of operation will damage the toad, but the form is stronger than humans. It is now an accessory to Zhuang Xie's ability. To Zhuang Xie at this time, it is equivalent to those ghost faces to it. The toad is now

There is no way to disobey Zhuang Xie.

After a while, the whole room was filled with invisible ghosts. Zhuang Xie could see them clearly because of the toad. If an ordinary person walked into the room at this moment, he would only feel a biting chill.

Zhuang Xie guessed that the toad behind his inexplicable ability was probably an earthbound spirit that had been hovering in the streets for many years.

Zhuang Xie even saw some ghosts in them that were obviously different from modern attire. Those ghosts had no weird abilities and were obviously bound by toads in that place and became ghost-like existences.

Zhuang Xie carefully identified them one by one, but Cheng Najing was not there.

He slowly let out a breath, not sure whether he was happy or disappointed.

The ghosts that were spit out again were freed from the shackles of the toad. The ghosts that were still intelligent bowed gratefully. Zemumu, who had lost his mind, stood on the spot, and one by one began to gradually dissipate into the air, truly

Dust to ashes to dust.

Zhuang Xie didn't even raise his eyelids when the ghosts bowed in thanks, and was thinking about his own affairs with an indifferent expression.

In fact, he had known for a long time that toads were full of innocent people, but he never paid much attention to them.

In his thinking that is very different from ordinary people, it is common sense to set traps to eat people, just like people eat pigs and sheep, or spiders set up webs to catch insects.

If it weren't for the suspicion that Cheng Najing, who had disappeared after being changed in the past, was in the toad's belly, Zhuang Xie wouldn't have gone to such trouble to cut it up.

...

A full day has passed since the appointment, and Hu Yan's timeline should have been advanced to June 23.

Things changed, but Cheng Najing still didn't come back, and Hu Yan completely lost contact for the whole day.

Reconnecting with what Zhuang Xie learned from Wu Yuhe yesterday, a mysterious party sent the photo of Hu Yan "killing" Zhang Guangbei to both Hu Yan himself and Wu Yuhe, who was in charge of the case, like a mastermind.

In a rough and anxious manner, I connected all the group members together.

So......

Zhuang Xie stared at the computer screen in the chat group.

I don’t know when this chat group has become silent, whether it is the policeman Xing Mang Wu Yuhe, the dead hammer Zhang Guangbei, Hu Yan whose life and death are unknown now, or Dahlia and the others who seem to have nothing to do with all this.

Huang Mao has never appeared in the group chat again.

Do dahlias and yellow hairs, which seem to have nothing to do with all this, really have nothing to do with each other?

In other words, they are already involved but they are not aware of it yet?

Zhuang Xie clicked to open the game lobby.

At this time, the ID gear representing Zhuang Xie in the standings was already at the bottom.

1 point.

The ones at the bottom are hammers and clay sculptures, which are also placed at the end like Zhuang Xie.

Xingmang scored 2 points, ranking above Zhuang Xie

Dahlia has 4 points and is in second place.

The person at the top of the list is Huang Mao, with a full 7 points.
