"What kind of monster is that? Are you dazzled? It's an era now, how could there be monsters?"
Ge Mengmeng, one of the young lovers, clutched her boyfriend's arm tightly, saying in fear and disgust, "Why is there so much blood on you? What about the girl you were with? Could it be that you..."
"I saw them yesterday; they went out together."
The backpacker, who wasn't carrying a backpack today, ruffled his messy hair and said, "I even talked to those two girls."
He pointed at Wen Xi and Meng Po who had just walked out, and suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them.
Wen Xi raised an eyebrow and said, "I just reminded him not to go out in the middle of the night. He refused to listen, so there was nothing I could do."
"What the housekeeper said is a bit alarmist."
Li Ze, the male member of the couple, shrugged and said, "I even saw a man sneaking out of the backyard in the middle of the night last night."
"Who is it?"
Li Ze said, "I think his name is Liu Jian. I don't think he has come out yet."
Someone said, "How many people are there in our tour group? After counting carefully, it seems that there are fewer people!"
Tang Jianming clutched his hair fiercely, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat. He collapsed and said, "I didn't lie. There really was a monster. It was the monster that took Zhang Juan away. I kept running, and the fog kept getting thicker. I couldn't find my way back. It wasn't until daybreak that I saw the gate of the B&B."
The series of strange news made the tour group feel uneasy.
Just when the atmosphere became cold, Lin Jiaojiao walked in from outside. She didn't look very good today. There was no trace of blood on her face, and there were thick dark circles under her eyes.
She said stiffly, "Dear tourists, it's almost time. I will take you to visit the first ruins today. Please have breakfast and follow me."
Tang Jianming saw her, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he rushed towards her. "You stinky bitch, you must know something. There are monsters here, and you brought us here. You have ulterior motives. Tell me, where did the monster take Zhang Juan? Bring her back now."
Lin Jiaojiao was strangled by him, and even though the force was enough to suffocate her, her expression did not change much.
He said in a hoarse voice, "Please calm down. You must be having a nightmare. Miss Zhang Juan has already gone to the ruins with another guest to watch the sunrise. If you don't believe me, I can call to confirm for you."
"What? Watch the sunrise?"
Tang Jianming was completely stunned and his hands unconsciously loosened a little.
"Why don't you let go now before anyone gets killed? I don't want to cause any more trouble."
A man wearing black-framed glasses pulled him away in dissatisfaction and advised him to calm down.
Tang Jianming gritted his teeth, his eyes almost popping out of his head, "Okay, call now."
Lin Jiaojiao took out her cell phone slowly and made a call in front of them.
The call was connected in just over ten seconds.
An unusually cold voice came from the other side, "Hello? What's going on?"
Tang Jianming's pupils shrank, and he said with trembling lips, "This... this is really Zhang Juan's voice. Could it be that she is really okay?"
Lin Jiaojiao asked, "Ms. Zhang, your friend is worried about your safety, so he called to check."
Zhang Juan said in an unhappy tone, "What the hell are you doing? I have nothing to do. The sun is about to rise. I don't feel like talking nonsense with you guys. Goodbye."
He hung up the phone immediately. Tang Jianming was completely stunned. He began to doubt himself, "Could it be that what happened last night was really my illusion? No...it shouldn't be, she clearly has..."
He stopped talking after that, with a strange expression on his face.
"I see. That's what I was saying. Where did the monsters come from? They really are all their own doing. They come here looking for trouble and disturbing my sleep."
The others looked at Tang Jianming with disdain, except Wen Xi who stared at Lin Jiaojiao with cold eyes.
"Everyone is awake now. Breakfast is ready. Please enjoy it."
The butler appeared at some point, his face pale, and asked someone to serve breakfast.
The other guests took their seats and started to eat breakfast.
Only Tang Jianming stood there dumbfounded, bewilderedly asking, "Then why am I covered in blood? Whose blood is this? Guide Lin, please explain it to me."
Lin Jiaojiao glanced at him coldly and said, "Mr. Tang, you are covered in red paint."
The bell outside rang again. Tang Jianming's eyes were dazed for a moment. He lowered his head and smelled the smell on his clothes. It was indeed the smell of paint.
Tang Jianming's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't tell whether what he was experiencing was an illusion or reality.
But he kept muttering, "Impossible, this is impossible..."
"Everyone, please have breakfast. Follow me and get on the bus. Don't fall behind."
Lin Jiaojiao said with stiff lips, "Hurry up and get in the car. If you're late you won't be able to see the beautiful scenery."
After all, it was a group tour and this was an outdoor forest, so no one dared to fall behind and got on the bus one after another.
Tang Jianming stood at the door, hesitating to move forward, his eyes still filled with horror, and a hint of viciousness flashed deep in his eyes.
The driver, who had been quite loud yesterday, now had a sinister aura about him. He gripped the steering wheel tightly and stared at him coldly, "Are you still getting in the car? If not, I'll leave."
Wen Xi also arrived late, holding the cat, and got into the car without hesitation.
Ding-ling-ding-ding~
The doorbell rang again. Tang Jianming looked back with his neck stiff. The butler inside was staring coldly at his back with a sinister smile on his lips.
Tang Jianming had cold sweat running down his forehead. He gritted his teeth and got into the car a second before the driver started it. When he looked back, the housekeeper who had just been inside the door was already standing at the door, waving his stiff hands to say goodbye to them.
A chill rose from his back. When Tang Jianming came to his senses, the bus was already on the road. He looked back and saw a green light flashing inside the bus. The tourists sitting in the bus had lifeless eyes and stared at him with resentment.
"ah!"
Tang Jianming was startled and fell directly into the seat next to him.
The car jolted, and Li Ze stood up, puzzled, "Are you okay? You look terrible. I'm a Chinese medicine student. Do you want me to take a look at you?"
Tang Jianming breathed heavily, blinked, and cautiously looked at the other seats. He found that the green light had disappeared and the rest of the people were normal. He breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and said, "No, that's not necessary."
