Chapter 89
This Weibo post had already become a hot topic when they discovered it, and netizens were discussing it heatedly in the comment section below.
"Come to coplay on the highway? Are you crazy?"
"What kind of cosplay is this? It's a bit scary..."
"It's a bit emmmmm to encounter this kind of thing on the road in the middle of the night."
"@Ping An C City, isn't this illegal? Aren't people like this arrested?"
“Is this cosplaying Birdman? [laughing and crying]”
"My goodness, your face is longer than a shoe horn!"
…
Yan Yue had a bad feeling in his heart: "What kind of monster is this?"
This is definitely not cosplay. Having worked in the Monster Bureau for a long time, Yan Yue has some vision.
Yan Ningan was the first to shake his head: "I can't recognize it."
Xian Mo also saw it from the side and understood it in his heart.
Su Xuan frowned and said, "I can't recognize it either. I don't remember such a monster."
Gu Shuo lowered his eyes and looked at it for a while, then gave Yan Ning'an a look. Yan Ning'an was stunned for a moment, but soon understood. He looked at Gao Ruhan again and said seriously, "I understand. I'll go to the office to check."
After he finished speaking, he grabbed Xianmo and turned away.
Judging from the blogger's movement trajectory, this road leads from City A to the neighboring City C, and is almost at the place where he should exit the highway.
Yan Yue immediately contacted the Monster Bureau of City C and learned that the latter had sent staff out to search for the birdman. However, surveillance showed that the birdman walked a distance and then climbed off the highway and walked into the mountains nearby. It would probably take some time to search for him.
As for this Weibo post - now all netizens think it is a prank. If they delete it rashly now, it will only make people feel strange, and then think too much, causing panic.
It would be better to just treat it as an illegal act and have City C issue an announcement to smooth over the incident.
Once the decision is made, everyone will take action, and Yan Yue will have to report to the director.
Before leaving the interrogation room, Su Xuan paused.
Gao Ruhan had just heard what they said and had probably anticipated something. His expression was very provocative and complacent.
Su Xuan looked at him for a while and suddenly smiled.
His smile made Gao Ruhan pause and become alert.
I don’t know if it was because he was interrupted by the birdman’s incident and his attention was diverted, but Su Xuan seemed to have calmed down again.
He suddenly figured out some things.
When he saw Gao Ruhan just now, he almost couldn't suppress the urge to take action.
Gao Ruhan was not the one who shattered Su Xuan's spiritual core, nor was he the one who directly caused him and Gu Shuo to be separated for more than a thousand years, but this guy was indeed a trigger, and the things he did back then were actually out of such crazy and ridiculous ideas.
——How ironic.
But after Su Xuan calmed down again, he realized that there were too many dangerous factors around them at that time.
The world is in chaos, he is not mature enough, and Ashuo's physique is full of uncertainty.
Maybe even without Gao Ruhan, there would be Huang Ruhan and Zhao Ruhan.
Maybe even without Zhu Yan, there will be Gou Yan and Mao Yan.
Therefore, it seems unnecessary to dwell on the trivial things and think about what would have happened to them if Gao Ruhan had not been there.
Su Xuan believed that he and Ashu, even his father, Zong Ning, Fu Huanyu and all the people in the world who had experienced various things, would stride forward after overcoming the most difficult time.
And people like Gao Ruhan——
Su Xuan tilted his head and said, "Even if your prediction is correct, and some ferocious beasts do find those ancient tribes a thousand years from now and start causing trouble, this 'stage' will no longer have anything to do with you. You should understand that, right?"
Gao Ruhan's expression changed.
——People like Gao Ruhan always stay where they are. What he enjoys is nothing more than the world-renowned stage built by power and authority.
Su Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "From now on, your stage is the prison cell. You may not know since you just came to the 21st century, but this is a high-tech era-"
Seeing Su Xuan taking a serious stance with his arms folded across his chest, he had slowly regained his former spirit. Yan Yue adjusted his glasses and coughed lightly twice, while Gu Shuo finally raised the corners of his lips.
"Forget about escaping prison. In this day and age, you can't even escape a prison cell for ordinary humans, let alone a cell for a sorcerer like you. Forget about the death penalty either. Do you think you can die so easily? Life imprisonment, eternal imprisonment—check it out. Oh, and don't think you can just lie down every day in a cell. Modern prisoners are required to do forced labor, from lathes and textiles to farming and animal husbandry!"
Gao Ruhan didn't understand what Su Xuan was saying, but that didn't stop his face from distorting.
"But your labor reform should start with basic education, right? Learn pinyin, Arabic numerals, physics, chemistry, biology, English, politics, history, geography—"
Gao Ruhan began to feel restless, and asked Yan Yue and the others with gritted teeth, "What nonsense is he talking about?"
Su Xuan: "I'm talking about the modern nine-year compulsory education, Comrade Gao. From now on, you are no longer Mr. Gao, the Immortal Gao, or Mr. Gao. In modern society, you are Comrade Gao. I wish you a rich and fulfilling prison life in the 21st century!"
Gao Ruhan's face turned pale: "Don't think I can't hear you cursing—Ah!"
Su Xuan drew back the spiritual power he had introduced into Gao Ruhan's body. If it was someone else, Su Xuan would naturally integrate the spiritual power directly into the other person's body. But for Gao Ruhan, he was just dealing with it temporarily. After resurrecting him and asking all the questions he needed to ask, it was almost time to take back the spiritual power.
As soon as the spiritual power was withdrawn, the bloody hole appeared on Gao Ruhan's chest again. He closed his eyes and fell down. With a "clang", blood splattered all over the ground.
Yan Yue: “…………”
He looked at Su Xuan hesitantly, wanting to say something.
Su Xuan said to Gu Shuo, "The blood splatter from this hole is too big. We need to improve our hole-digging technique in the future."
Gu Shuo: "Well, Xuan, you are right."
Yan Yue... Yan Yue turned off the microphone. He didn't dare to ask or say anything.

Yan Ning'an came back from reading the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and told them that the country that appeared on the highway was probably the Yumin Kingdom recorded in the "Overseas Southern Classic".
"They have long heads and feathers on their bodies." This is the description of the Feathered People.
The question is, where did this Yumin people come from and where does they plan to go?
To be honest, they had never seen any records of these ancient tribes in reality, or even in other ancient books, except for the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
If these ancient tribes really all existed in this world, then where did they go over the past few thousand years?
There is no solution.
They can only wait until City C finds this Yumin citizen first.
But before that, more things happened——
In the middle of the night, an anonymous user posted a message on a forum with extremely high traffic.
This isn't a horror story. This actually happened half an hour ago. Can anyone identify what species this is?
The poster posted a photo in the main post. The photo was taken in an underground garage. There was a row of cars parked in front of the camera, and behind the farthest car there was a small figure.
The short man seemed to notice that the poster was taking pictures of him and was about to run away. The face he turned around to look at was panic-stricken.
The man's calves, exposed under his shorts, seemed to be crossed together, forming an "X" shape.
Follow up post below:
"……deformity?"
"The running posture is a bit funny..."
"Isn't it nice for the OP to take photos of people like this..."
"I have goosebumps. Why do these legs look like this? Are they glued together?"
"Inner-eight?"
"It's not pigeon-toed, right? Zoom in on the picture and look carefully. Those two calves are actually connected in an X shape!"
This time, the Monster Bureau reacted quickly. After asking the forum administrator to delete the post, they contacted the poster.
The owner of the building lives in the suburbs of City A - City A again.
While the Monster Bureau was on the way to the community, another post appeared on another local forum in City A. An office worker who worked overtime until the early morning and returned home encountered a huge, wolf-like creature emerging from the grass while passing by a park.
Why is it called a "wolf-like creature"?
Because that thing was covered with pitch-black hair, and had wolf claws and a wolf head, but the problem was that this wolf - "it" walked upright and was 1.8 meters tall.
When the office worker screamed in fear, the wolf spewed fire from its mouth and burned his arm!
This office worker did not take a picture of the wolf, he only took a picture of his red, swollen and blistered arm. Because it was already midnight, the post did not immediately cause much commotion, and the Monster Bureau deleted the post quickly as usual.
But after all, three such incidents happened in one night.
Some people have been staying up late until now. The sensitive City A posted on Weibo: "...I always feel that something is wrong in City A recently. Is it my illusion [laughing and crying]..."
This is certainly not an illusion.
Something is not only a little wrong, it is even a little serious.
Those whose calves grow crosswise are probably the people of Jiaojing Country as recorded in Shan Hai Jing, "they have cross legs". Those who look like wolves and can spit fire are probably the people of Yanhuo Country, "they have black bodies of beasts and fire comes out of their mouths".
These ancient tribal people who came from nowhere seemed to be fleeing in all directions.
And how many of them have already scattered in City A or even in the surrounding areas at this moment?
