Imagine opening the door late at night and running into a huge puffer fish, with mucus dripping from its ferocious mouth and a pair of dead fish eyes staring at you. Anyone would feel a tingling sensation on their scalp at this scene.

Bai Xue, who had heard that dinner was coming, ran to the door excitedly, but was frightened by the sudden appearance of the bighead carp in front of her. She curled up into a ball of fur and rolled into the corner, shivering.

The Maine Coon also looked at the bighead carp with ferocious eyes and let out a series of low growls.

If Shen Yuan had not reacted, it would have rushed forward and torn into pieces the bighead carp that was scaring its king.

However, Shen Yuan was unaware of this. He pointed at the plate in Fathead Fish's hand and said:

"Boss, your saliva is about to fall into the food."

"ah?"

The originally weird atmosphere suddenly changed with the surprised cry of the fathead fish. The fathead fish quickly put the plate on the counter beside him and reached out to wipe the mucus dripping from his mouth.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

Fathead fish bowed repeatedly to Shen Yuan and explained:

"Recently, I have been drooling uncontrollably at night, so I checked Baidu and it said I have Down syndrome.

When I went to the forum to ask netizens, they all said that this disease did not need to be treated, and that many internet celebrities had similar symptoms. They told me to pay attention to my daily diet and watch less short videos.

Recently, I followed their advice and did what they asked, but I haven’t seen any improvement. I still drool uncontrollably at night.”

Shen Yuan was silent, then asked the boss:

"Boss, do you feel dizzy at night and your eyesight is not so good recently?"

The fathead fish's eyes lit up and he cried out in surprise:

"What a miracle doctor! How did you figure that out?"

As he spoke, the fathead fish turned his head to the side and looked at Shen Yuan with only one eye, his big face full of anticipation.

"At night, I feel dizzy and have difficulty walking. I can't see clearly with my eyes. I can only feel a little better by tilting my head to look.

Sir, you know my illness so well, is there any way to cure it?"

The corner of Shen Yuan's mouth twitched slightly.

If the boat doesn't sink at night with such a big fish head on its head, that would be a problem.

Moreover, fish have eyes on both sides, and their perspective is completely different from that of humans. It is indeed more convenient for them to see with only one eye instead of using two eyes.

Of course, Shen Yuan couldn't possibly tell the bighead carp boss in front of him about this.

He wanted to refuse outright, but seeing the boss's hopeful eyes, Shen Yuan just made up a story:

"You are overworked. Remember to stay hydrated and take cold showers. Remember to go to bed early at night and you will feel much better.

As for the problem with your eyes, you have dead fish eyes, which is similar to night blindness. You just need to take more vitamins to adapt to it. "

Upon hearing this, the boss of Fathead Fish immediately stretched out his hands with excitement, wanting to shake Shen Yuan's hands to express his gratitude.

But Shen Yuan took a step back without leaving a trace, avoiding his hands covered in mucus.

Realizing this, the boss immediately showed an elegant yet awkward smile on his face and apologized repeatedly:

"Excuse me, excuse me!"

"Thank you for your treatment, sir. I will waive all your accommodation and food expenses for today."

"You eat first, I'll go down and try the method you mentioned."

As soon as the words fell, the huge bighead carp ran down the second floor excitedly.

Looking at the figure of the Fathead Fish boss walking away, Shen Yuan closed the door and did not touch the food the boss brought.

Although the boss's attitude and state were normal, no one could be sure whether it was a disguise. The Maine Coon cat who was watching all this could no longer suppress his curiosity and asked Shen Yuan:

"Mr. doesn't seem surprised by the boss's change. Could it be that he has already seen the boss's problem?"

Shen Yuan shook his head and said casually:

"But it's just a guess. I wouldn't be surprised if there's an abnormal concentration of spiritual energy in Yunmeng Village."

“It was just evening when we arrived at this B&B, and the owner was acting unusually sleepy and his work and rest schedule was very irregular.

He was actually scared when he saw you for the first time. You have to know that your appearance transformed by magic is just that of an ordinary kitten. An adult should not be so fearful.

It is very likely that he saw your true form at some point, or he has an instinctive fear of cats.

Combined with the legend about Yunmeng Village, it is not difficult to guess some information."

The Maine Coon nodded, not quite understanding, and then said:

“I didn’t expect that the monster in the legend of Yunmeng Village was not an outsider, but a local villager living here.”

"monster?"

Shen Yuan smiled and asked the Maine Coon:

"Do you feel the evil spirit of Mr. Fathead Fish?"

The Maine Coon was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened in shock.

"There's no evil spirit on him!"

"How is it possible? He can switch between human and demon forms without even a trace of demonic energy. This is definitely not normal."

Shen Yuan looked towards the street outside the village and said meaningfully:

"Because he is not a demon at all, how can he possess demonic energy?"

"Not a demon?" The Maine Coon felt that the scene before his eyes conflicted with his own worldview.

"Didn't you notice? He was still able to maintain his sanity at night and even search for symptoms online, but he was unaware that he had changed into a fathead fish. This is completely abnormal.

There is a mirror in the corridor on the second floor. Normally, if he passes by the mirror, he will be able to see his changing appearance, but he did not react at all. "

"The boss had recently received a fisherman who had returned from fishing to get ingredients for dinner. During the process, he did not mention any changes in the fisherman, nor did he hear the fisherman express fear because of the changes in him.

This shows that turning into a fish is not an isolated case in Yunmeng Village. All villagers have fallen into a cognitive barrier. They do not think of themselves as fish. "

Having said this, Shen Yuan couldn't help but chuckle.

"There is no demonic aura, but there is a fish body, even the cognition is blurred. It seems that this Yunmeng Village is more extraordinary than I imagined."

Shen Yuan did not feel the slightest fear in his heart. In fact, compared to the ghost market he had just experienced, the strange scene in Yunmeng Village before him did not show any substantial danger.

The bighead carp boss outside may look weird, but he is just an ordinary person in essence.

On the contrary, the more extraordinary Yunmeng Village's performance is, the more likely Shen Yuan will find the secrets hidden behind Yunmeng Village and thus complete the hidden achievement.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan walked out of the room and returned to the first floor.

The boss of Fathead Fish was not in the hall. He must have gone to try the so-called "treatment method". Shen Yuan strode out of Yunmeng Villa.

The Maine Coon cat comforted Bai Xue, who was traumatized by the pufferfish, and followed Shen Yuan closely, asking:

"Sir, where are we going?"

Walking on a quiet street, Shen Yuan's eyes had already been locked on a huge building to the east of Yunmeng Village.

"Of course, I want to see the legendary Dragon King Temple."
