Chapter 062 Crazy Tentacles-1

The noisy sound hit my ears like an electric current.

"Hey, Jiang Yan, what's wrong with you?"

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"Can you hear me?"

The vague sound as far away as the horizon gradually became clearer as time went by.

Jiang Yan's fingers on the table moved. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him with those confused eyes like a newborn baby.

"Huh, luckily you're okay." The man breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself, "When I rushed over, I found you lying on this table motionless. I almost thought you were killed."

Jiang Yan listened quietly to the man speaking a series of words he could not understand, then looked up and looked around. He was now in an abandoned building, and the dust filled the huge space.

Behind him was a French window that allowed him to see outside. It was night time, and the neon-lit and bustling city nightlife outside the window was in stark contrast to the environment around him.

It gives people a feeling that this place is a ruin and there is a paradise outside.

Jiang Yan opened his mouth and interrupted the person in front of him, "Who... are you?"

"Ah?" The man was surprised and scratched his head. "I'm Xiao Li, the Xiao Li who is going undercover with you this time."

Undercover?

Jiang Yan subconsciously thought that he was in a police and gangster movie, but he stared at the clothes of this classmate named Xiao Li. He was wearing a shiny dark green outfit, especially the pair of slippers on his feet, which had several long furry tentacles hooked on them, making him look funny like an octopus.

hiss.

The electric current appeared again, and the stinging sensation it brought made Jiang Yan curl his fingers. He frowned, and Qingjun's face looked a little embarrassed.

But this strange pain did not last long. On the contrary, just as he regained his spirit, a memory flooded into his mind like a flood.

Jiang Yan's head felt dizzy and he narrowed his eyes slightly. Soon, everything about this world appeared clearly in his memory.

This is a world where humans and monsters coexist, but only a few people know about the existence of monsters.

After graduating from university, he joined this small group of people, whose mysterious profession is usually called demon exorcism. Their mission is to expel those evil demons and maintain social order.

Due to the high-risk nature of the profession of demon hunters, they are usually not allowed to fall in love. In life, they only have partners on the same front and orders from their superiors, especially since Jiang Yan is in an undercover department.

They specialize in sneaking into places where monsters gather, and then leak the news to the outside world so that their accomplices can work together to wipe out the evil forces.

Jiang Yan rubbed his eyebrows. Although he remembered a lot of things, he was still a little confused.

The scene of raising cubs and preparing for the college entrance examination with the shadow man is still vivid in his mind. In the blink of an eye, he has graduated from college and become a demon hunter.

Is he dreaming again?

Was he confused while doing his mission, or was he being manipulated by a monster?

The lights in the abandoned building were dim. Jiang Yan stood up, and an inexplicable pain spread from his limbs. He frowned and subconsciously shouted, "It hurts."

"Damn it, that monster must have done it."

Xiao Li stared at Jiang Yan for a few seconds, then clenched his fists and said angrily, "Don't worry, we'll definitely help you get revenge when we catch him!"

"Hmm?" Jiang Yan asked in a puzzled tone. He didn't quite understand what Xiao Li was talking about. He asked in confusion, "Wait, I have some temporary amnesia. What are you talking about? Who are we going to catch?"

"It is said to be a monster with hands all over its body. According to eyewitnesses, it looks like a jellyfish or an octopus. Wherever it passes, it leaves water marks."

As Xiao Li described, Jiang Yan looked down at the ground. He realized that there was water of varying sizes everywhere on this floor, especially under his feet. There was so much water that it almost formed a puddle.

Suddenly, a strange picture appeared in Jiang Yan's mind.

When Xiao Li arrived at this floor, the lights inside were not turned on yet. It was completely dark and pitch black. Jiang Yan was lying motionless on the table in a coma, and her beautiful face was seen by an unknown creature in the darkness.

"He" was watching the sleeping person in the darkness. Not far from him, there was a sound of dripping water, "tick-tick-tick", like a faucet that was not tightened.

This horrifying scene lasted for a long time until Xiao Li came hurriedly in clumsy clothes, but when he turned on the lights here, only Jiang Yan was left on the floor.

——A few minutes ago, the monster had been staring at him from a very close distance.

In this way, the water under his feet could at most be reasonably explained.

An invisible feeling of fear came over me.

"But you're lucky." Seeing Jiang Yan's bad expression, Xiao Li guessed that he was scared, so he said to comfort him, "It is said that the target of our mission this time is a very cruel monster. Those missing people seem to have been eaten by him, without even a bone left."

"So you're lucky. It seems the monster didn't have time to eat you."

After Xiao Li finished speaking, he patted Jiang Yan on the shoulder and said, "Relax, and don't leave me behind and act rashly next time."

According to Xiao Li, it seems that they were in charge of the investigation this time. Xiao Li deliberately wore a costume that looked very similar to the monster based on the description of the witnesses, in order to better lure out the monster.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yan encountered the monster first and chased it all the way to the upper floors of an abandoned building. Then, when he was caught off guard, he was attacked by the monster in the dark and fainted.

"Let's go back to the base." Xiao Li dragged his funny octopus shoes and shivered suddenly, "It's so eerie here."

"Um."

Jiang Yan was about to leave the floor with Xiao Li, but the moment he turned around, his hair stood on end.

There was something behind him staring at him!

Jiang Yan turned his head suddenly, and a dark shadow flashed past the French window. He blinked, and the place became empty again, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

Is it really just an illusion, or has the monster never left from the beginning to the end?

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Jiang Yan walk a few steps and then stop, Xiao Li was surprised.

Jiang Yan shook his head, "Nothing, let's go."

After the two left the floor, several flesh-pink tentacles slowly climbed and extended on the floor-to-ceiling window, until they covered the entire huge piece of glass, like a bloody giant mouth about to swallow the entire piece of glass.

The pile of tentacles that had wrapped themselves up in disorder were still moving slowly. Gradually, the flesh-pink things that stuck to the French windows revealed their eyes.

It was a pair of slightly squinted, scarlet eyes.

Those eyes had been staring at a figure in the room. Even though the owner of that figure had already left, his eyeballs remained motionless, as if he was still lingering on that afterimage.

"Like...hungry...swallow...can't eat...possess him..."

A series of vague voices came from the pile of pink unknown creatures on the floor-to-ceiling window, hoarse and passionate, as if the creatures in the deep sea were trying their best to call their lovers on the shore.

Suddenly, with a "bang", the glass window was clean.

——Because the tentacles fell down, plummeting from the 20th floor.

"Just now...something seemed to have fallen outside."

Because the elevator was broken, the two people walking up the stairs heard a loud noise coming from outside. Xiao Li clearly saw a red shadow falling from the half-open window beside him.

Jiang Yan didn't see anything, he just heard a sound. It was a loud noise, as if someone threw something from a high altitude and smashed it onto the roof of the car parked downstairs.

"I remember that ours was the only abandoned building in this area."

The loud noise was very clear and very close to them, so it was ruled out that it was someone from another building who was hit by "falling objects from a high altitude".

After hearing what Jiang Yan said, Xiao Li's expression tensed up, and he was so scared that he almost stepped on air. "Fuck, that means someone in our building is throwing things down."

"But this place has been abandoned for so long, and we didn't see anyone else when we came here."

Xiao Li said in horror, and turned his head tremblingly to meet Jiang Yan's eyes, "Fuck, it can't be——"

"That monster is still in this building? He wants to murder us!" Xiao Li suddenly grabbed Jiang Yan's arm with an extremely frightened expression, "It must be like this, he wanted to smash us to death with something, but he didn't expect us to still be climbing the stairs in the building. He misjudged the time."

What Xiao Li said made sense. Jiang Yan pinched his chin and thought for a while, then looked up and said, "Let's leave here first."

"Brother Wuwu, please hold me tight." Xiao Li cried, "I'm scared."

Ten minutes later.

"Ahhh it's finally out."

As soon as he left the building, Xiao Li quickly took off his bulky octopus costume, leaving only his shorts. He spread his arms and breathed deeply into the cold wind.

Jiang Yan silently shifted his gaze away, and suddenly, he noticed that the grass not far away was shaking, and a pink thing suddenly slipped into the grass.

Pink?

Jiang Yan wiped his eyes and the grass returned to its original state.

"Let's go." Xiao Li dried the sweat off his body and put on his strange coat. He waved to Jiang Yan behind him and said, "Let's go."

After they walked for some distance, they finally saw a taxi.

"Where are you going, handsome boys?"

"Go to XX." said Xiao Li who was sitting in the passenger seat.

The car started to move, Jiang Yan sat alone in the back seat, he tilted his head and looked out the window. The towering buildings, streets and plants passed by him like a double-speed movie.

Halfway through the journey, there was a "bang" sound, as if the car body had hit something. So before getting on the highway, the driver stopped and walked around the car body to check, and there was no sign of damage.

"Hey, there's nothing."

The driver touched his nose and was about to return to the driver's seat when Xiao Li said, "Brother, take a look under the car to see if it was crushed by the wheels."

"OK."

The driver responded, then bent down and was suddenly startled when his eyes fell upon a pink, still-twisting lump of unidentified flesh under the undercarriage.

"Fuck." The driver blurted out, but before he could yell a second time, he was caught off guard and met a pair of scarlet eyes in the center of the meat-like object.

There seemed to be a ferocious and bright red flower hidden in her eyes, and the driver was staring at her so hard that he almost lost his mind.

"There's nothing here."

A hoarse voice that seemed to come from ancient times pierced the driver's eardrums.

In fact, this lump of flesh did not open its mouth, and it did not even show its mouth. It directly entered the driver's nervous system and communicated with him directly.

"What's wrong, bro?"

Seeing the driver checking the bottom of the car for a long time, Xiao Li thought something had happened and asked quickly, "Did it really hit something?"

Seeing Xiao Li half-open the passenger door and preparing to get out, the driver stood up suddenly and said, "It's nothing, I just ran over a rock. I've already removed it. It's okay now."

"Stone?"

Xiao Li was still confused, but the driver had already returned to the driving seat and said, "Close the door. I'm going to drive."

"Oh." Xiao Li finally did as he was told.

Jiang Yan, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, closed his eyes. He felt inexplicably tired, so he fell asleep as soon as the car started.

Seeing this, Xiao Li did not tell him what had just happened.

"Here we go handsome guys."

The car stalled. At the same time, Jiang Yan woke up.

The hazy moonlight enveloped a building not far away. Their office was located in a sparsely populated area, so the surrounding light was dim.

After the driver drove away, Xiao Li turned on the flashlight and said, "Brother, let's go."

"Um."

Jiang Yan followed Xiao Li into the base, and a familiar yet unfamiliar atmosphere greeted him. Xiao Li pushed open the door, and several beams of bright light came into view.

"You are finally back."

They were greeted by a young woman, about 20 years old. She was wearing a work uniform with a tag on it that read "Zhang Keke". That was her name.

"Sister Zhang, you don't know, I was almost scared to death." Xiao Li cried, "Especially Xiao Jiang, it was even worse. If I had arrived later, he would have been eaten."

"Just be glad you're back safe and sound." Zhang Keke said, "By the way, the boss is looking for you two."

"Okay." "Okay."

As Jiang Yan and Xiao Li walked to the door of the boss's office, they heard the voices of children coming from inside, and there was more than one.

"Hey, when did the boss have kids? And so many?"

Xiao Li knocked on the door in confusion, and soon a deep voice came from inside, "Come in."

“We are the boss.”

The boss was a man in his thirties. Besides him, there were three little boys standing in the office.

The little boys' faces were as stinky as bitter gourds. Xiao Li guessed that they must have been too naughty and were scolded by their boss.

Until the boss also said sadly: "Who will take care of these three children?"

Jiang Yan & Xiao Li: “???”

"What do you mean, boss?" Xiao Li's eyes widened, his face full of confusion.

The boss at the desk covered his forehead, shook his head and sighed, "These three children were picked up by Lao Chen. It is said that their parents were eaten by monsters. He originally wanted to erase their memories and give them to other people for adoption. But for some reason, their memories cannot be erased."

"So before their memories are erased, these three children will have to be taken care of by our people for the time being."

After the boss finished explaining the whole story, Xiao Li immediately said, "Boss, I have to take the postgraduate entrance exam while working, so I don't have time to take care of the kids."

So the boss turned his attention to ginger salt.

Jiang Yan's eyelids twitched a few times. He looked at the boss, then turned to look at the three children sitting on the sofa.

When the three children saw the ginger and salt, their eyes lit up as if they were looking at some delicious food.

This made Jiang Yan suspect that the children were hungry.

However, he doesn't like children.

"I don't want to take it." Jiang Yan said frankly.

However, just as he finished these words, the three children on the sofa jumped up suddenly as if frustrated and grabbed the corners of Jiang Yan's clothes.

The children were only as tall as Jiang Yan's waist. At this moment, they stared at the handsome young man in front of them with their big watery eyes, "Brother, we are so pitiful, please take us in."

After hearing this, the boss was even more excited than Jiang Yan, "So they like you."

Jiang Yan had a question mark on his face, "What do you mean?"

The boss explained: "Before, other employees wanted to take the initiative to adopt them, but these three children had such bad tempers that they yelled at the people to leave."

"So I'm going to try you two and see if anyone can subdue these three kids." A smile finally appeared on the boss's worried face. He grabbed Jiang Yan's hand and said excitedly, "Come on, Jiang Yan, it's you. Take on this task and I'll give you a raise."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan spoke with difficulty: "...Okay."

"What are your three names?"

A green-haired one said, "Meng Xiaolu."

The one with blue hair said, "Meng Xiaolan."

Jiang Yan looked at the third person who was still silent, "Your name isn't Meng Xiaohei, is it?"

Meng Xiaolu said: "Yes, his name is Xiaohei, and we are triplets."

"You dyed your hair at such a young age." Xiao Li suddenly said.

"No, my hair is natural," Meng Xiaolan replied.

"Can we go home now?"

The one who spoke was Meng Xiaohei, who looked no more than ten years old, and spoke in a very cool and arrogant manner.

Xiao Li said, "Xiao Jiang, you go back first. I will report on this mission."

"Thank you. Then boss, I'll go back first."

"OK."

Finally, Jiang Yan took a taxi home with her three children.
