So this time, she had to say everything upfront, lest he suddenly attack her again! Otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to hold back and would make a scene!
"Okay." Yan Di seemed to be in a good mood at the moment, so he was unusually easy to talk to.
In his presence, the girl's thoughts were always written on her face; he could almost instantly tell what she was thinking without much guessing.
She simply remembered the last time she went to see Shuten-dōji, he left her in the car for her safety, so much so that now, almost every time she does something, as long as he is there, the little girl will give him some instructions.
However, the little girl's request wasn't unreasonable, and Yan Di naturally wouldn't refuse. As long as there was no danger, the little one could play however she wanted!
After receiving Yan Di's approval, Song Mengmeng finally felt relieved. She turned around and continued to look out the car window. This time, it didn't take long. After making two sharp turns, the car slowed down considerably and stopped shortly after arriving at today's destination.
"We can only park here; we still have to walk a bit further in!" After parking the car, Huo Yuankai hurried over to explain to Song Mengmeng and the others, "It just rained, so the road is a bit slippery. Be careful."
After he finished speaking, he handed three hiking poles that he had taken from the car in front to Song Mengmeng and the others: "The tour guide said that because she was not physically fit, she did not go in with those foreigners, but waited for them to return with the driver in the car."
As a result, when she tried to contact those foreigners again around 5 p.m., when it was almost time to return home, she couldn't get through to them at all!
At first, she thought it was just a bad signal on the mountain, but when she still couldn't contact the explorers by 10 p.m. that night, she panicked and called the police.
As they walked up the mountain, Huo Yuankai gave a brief introduction to the relevant situation.
“We mobilized rescue teams, firefighters, and even the stationed troops. They conducted a thorough search of the area, layer by layer. Just now, they found a few backpacks. Since it's not far from the scene of the incident, we guessed they belonged to those adventurers. So we came over to take a look.”
Huo Yuankai seemed to have been here quite a few times, as he was very familiar with the path. He led Song Mengmeng and the others at a brisk pace, but even so, it still took them almost an hour before they heard a commotion ahead.
Huo Yuankai's colleagues arrived earlier and are currently busy surveying the site!
Upon seeing Huo Yuankai arrive, a smartly dressed policewoman came over, greeted him, and gave him the latest updates: "No problem, there are passports and a camera in that backpack, which belong to those missing explorers."
"So, there was no loss of property?" Huo Yuankai frowned slightly, immediately grasping the key point in the investigation feedback.
Those who prey on travelers are often thugs hiding deep in the mountains, and nine times out of ten they are after money!
But now, those explorers' backpacks are carelessly tossed on the ground, and all their valuables are still inside...
If it's not for making money, then what is it for?!
"Miss Song, have you noticed anything amiss?!" Huo Yuankai turned around and then came back, just in time to see Song Mengmeng standing up from beside a patch of grass. He couldn't help but feel a mix of anticipation and curiosity.
He had heard of the power of the mysterious Special Cases Investigation Team, and that was why he dared not underestimate the young girl in front of him from the very beginning.
Although there are all sorts of rumors circulating within the police station, Huo Yuankai's intuition tells him that this matter is definitely not as simple as the cases they usually investigate!
“Those people should be gone by now.” Song Mengmeng narrowed her eyes, looking at Huo Yuankai with some regret. Although she knew this conclusion was shocking and hard to accept, it was the truth.
"What do you mean by 'nothing'?!" Huo Yuankai was stunned for a long time. Although his mind was working very fast, he still didn't understand what those words meant.
Seeing Huo Yuankai, who had been incredibly shrewd since they met, making such a silly face for the first time, Hu Da couldn't help but laugh out loud: "If it's gone, it's gone. Whether it's life or body, you probably won't find a trace of it!"
"What, what if the people died? What about their bodies?!" Huo Yuankai felt a chill run down his spine. If what the little girl in front of him said was true, and all the explorers had been killed, then surely there would be bodies!
Impossible! The body could have been destroyed in such a short time!
“A person who has been eaten whole, even their soul has been swallowed whole, so where would there be a corpse?!” Song Mengmeng turned her head and looked at Huo Yuankai with an expression that said, “Are you stupid?” “You guys arrange for more people to expand the search area, especially in that direction, be extra careful!”
Let's see if we can find something like a large snake molt!
If so, I think your entire Baiyue City should declare a curfew!
Song Mengmeng spoke calmly, but what she said almost made Huo Yuankai fall to the ground. He had to reach out and brace himself against a tree trunk to keep his balance.
have eaten?!
Snake molt!!
"You mean, those people were eaten by a snake?!" Swallowing hard, Huo Yuankai felt his worldview being repeatedly shattered. This was just too, too surreal!
"It's not a snake, it's a monster!" Song Mengmeng blinked and corrected Huo Yuankai very seriously. "And then, could you please take a look and see if there's any special connection between these two groups of missing explorers?!"
For example, encountering some rare beauty at the same time!
"Ah, okay, I'll go check right now!" Seeing Song Mengmeng's serious expression, Huo Yuankai finally regained his composure and dedication. He nodded and quickly turned to make the arrangements.
"This isn't a monster from our land!" After Huo Yuankai left, Hu Da slowly walked to Song Mengmeng's side, frowned, and whispered to her, "It stinks! This fishy stench is even stronger than the smell emanating from those newly formed fox spirits!"
“I once encountered a monster, a siren!” Song Mengmeng nodded and whispered to Hu Da, “This smell is somewhat similar to the smell of a siren!”
However, there is no conclusive evidence yet, and we cannot give a definitive answer! We can only wait and see!
The main problem is that this monster left behind too little information to identify it, so we need to consider it more carefully!
