In the pitch-black night, all I could see were heads, different kinds of heads, heads I'd never seen before. Under the flashlight beam, they looked eerie and frightening.
Already afraid of snakes, the enormous snake head made the male educated youth tremble with fear. His face, which hadn't yet been battered by the sea breeze, was now as white as a sheet of paper.
He tried to scream for help, but suddenly it felt like his throat was being gripped by an invisible hand, and he couldn't make a sound.
He wanted to run, but his legs felt like they were nailed to the ground, and he couldn't pull them out no matter what he did. After a few seconds, his crotch started to drip.
Hiss.
*Sob*
Eek!
A whole row of disdainful cries from different species rose and fell.
Buzz~
The white light shone across the entire earth, illuminating the pale face of the male educated youth, and also illuminating all species.
The two enormous pythons swung their large tails fiercely, their gaping maws radiating menacing power, as if to say that if he dared to move, they would devour him in the next moment.
Four black and white bears of different sizes, all with the same disdainful expression, their contempt overflowing. Their憨憨 (simple and honest) appearance is not very threatening, but it is extremely insulting.
A strange, talking metal lump kept saying, "Hey~, are you having fun? I'm having a blast."
"Ahhh, help! Someone please save me!"
His legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground, his face wet with sweat, tears and snot. He propped himself up on his hands and backed away, trying to shout again, but the iron lump emitted a laugh from the underworld.
"Gaga gaga, shout all you want, shout as hard as you can, but no one will come to save you even if you shout until your throat is hoarse, ah gaga."
With her hands on her hips and her head thrown back, Guagua laughed heartily. Her cheerful female voice gradually became distorted. After laughing for a while, she suddenly shrank her long legs into short ones and approached the cowardly, mud-like figure step by step.
She used a high-pitched voice:
"You rascal, you're so mean! You're bothering us. Our family... no, we're a family of monsters here, catching little devils and eating them."
"It's all because of your appearance that the little ghosts were scared away. There are no little ghosts to eat tonight, so we can only eat you."
"There's nothing I can do. It's just bad luck. Why did you have to go out in the middle of the night instead of getting some sleep?"
“We’re not indiscriminate monsters. Just tell us why you’re here alone. If you’re not lying and your reason is valid, we might let you go.”
"It's possible, not certain. Whether we let you off the hook or not depends on our mood. After all, you scared away the little devil we wanted to eat, so you have to compensate us."
"Of course, we are reasonable. If you send us a scapegoat, we will let you go."
"By the way, we are particular about food. It has to be bad guys with impure intentions. We don't eat good people."
"Alright, here's your chance. Now tell us, who are you going to compensate us for?"
The group of friends all shuddered.
Oh my god, your voice is so creepy it makes snakes and bears shudder.
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday reported: "Our skin has all flown away."
After a long, rambling monologue, the male educated youth's head was buzzing and he couldn't hear a few words clearly; his mind was filled with thoughts of eating little devils.
Are there really ghosts in the village?
Do snakes and bears eat little devils?
Or should we eat this inhuman, ghostly lump of iron?
The bear wasn't too afraid. Seeing that the two terrifying snakes were just staring at him and didn't seem to want to get closer, his wildly beating heart calmed down a little.
"Could you... say it again?"
The eldest and second eldest didn't not want to get close; they just disliked the smell of urine on him. Xiong Sikou's expression perfectly illustrates this.
The baby has no sense of smell, so it doesn't matter if you get too close.
Guagua was very considerate. "Okay, say it again. We need one more person as compensation. Our family of five has a big appetite. One bad guy isn't enough to fill our teeth."
This time the sound is normal.
The male educated youth's face paled even more, and he swallowed hard. "Okay."
Anyway, I just won't eat him.
The Guagua brand repeater was turned on, and it repeated its own words verbatim from the previous paragraph.
"Wow, not a single word is missing. Guagua's brain is really sharp, just like Shishi's."
In a place unseen by the male educated youth, a family of four and three chickens sat on stools, eating melon seeds and watching the play. Shishi sighed with heartfelt admiration.
While praising someone else, the patriarch didn't forget to mention himself. He placed the peeled sunflower seeds in her hand and said, "Yes, my Shishi has the best brain."
Honey, you must have forgotten that Guagua has built-in recording and playback functions, so you can repeat it without even thinking by pressing the play button.
Wednesday, hehehe. (When are we going to perform?)
My friends are having so much fun, I'm so envious. It's never scared anyone to death before.
The moment the flashlight illuminated its big face, its friends looked incredibly cool, and it wanted to look cool too.
“We don’t need to show our faces, we’ll be recognized. Guagua and the others can handle it.”
Can't he play?
What a pity.
On Wednesday, he sighed and grumbled as he picked up a small piece of tender corn on the cob.
"I, I came here to sabotage the water filtration equipment. The village has no water to drink, so they go to the camp to fetch water. I need to go into the camp to find someone...blah blah blah."
Under the deathly gaze of three species, the male educated youth spoke frankly and told everything.
Among the educated youth who went to the countryside with him were a man and a woman who came from Beijing.
The remaining man and woman, along with the female educated youth who was sent back to the educated youth office, were from another group, from Haishi.
On the surface, they are two groups of people, but in reality, they are one organization.
On the day they went to the countryside, both sides already understood each other without saying a word.
Because he had been in the organization the longest and had connections, the others tacitly agreed that he would lead the team.
They caught the rats together and threw them into the well, and they also wanted to destroy the water filtration equipment.
The others didn't come out because they were worried about being exposed and getting caught, so they always drew lots for work, and this time it just so happened that he was the one who was drawn.
The organization's instructions were to find out the true identity of the design genius at any cost; the rest was none of their business, as the higher-ups would handle it.
