Chapter 129: The Midnight Butcher
"Captain Zhao, something's happening!"
The man in the passenger seat's alert voice followed closely behind.
Including the driver, both of them sat up straight and instinctively took a defensive posture.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became stagnant.
Rongzhen was stopped by an iron-like arm, and seeing such a situation, she dared not get off the car anymore. She froze there and dared not move.
The man beside her stared at the front of the car. He gently nudged her abdomen as he retracted his arm and whispered, "Sit tight."
Rongzhen immediately followed the force, sat back in her seat, and acted like a well-behaved and obedient person.
Nonsense, another unknown ghost story is about to appear. Who dares to seek death without knowing the consequences at this time?
But when she came back yesterday, she felt that this place was normal. How come they met as soon as they arrived? Could it be that the other party was even more unlucky than her?
For a moment, Rong Zhen no longer suspected that he was an even more unlucky person than the original owner.
In the silence, calls gradually came from the darkness not far in front of the car, getting closer and closer, and the voices became clearer and clearer.
"Nannan——Nannan——"
"Nannan, where are you?"
"Nannan, go home."
As the sound got closer, the expressions of the driver and the man in the passenger seat became more and more tense, their upper bodies almost bent into a straight line, and their hands secretly reached for their waists, ready to go, just waiting for the order to get out of the car and fight.
Rongzhen couldn't help but relax when she heard the sound of Nannan, which seemed to be ringing in her ear. She explained quietly, "That's the neighbor whose cat was lost. Nannan is her cat's name. I saw her looking for it nearby last night, but it seems she hasn't found it yet."
After she spoke, the atmosphere of invisible confrontation that was about to break out seemed to be broken, and the old lady's hoarse and anxious call gradually faded away.
That strange goose bump feeling also went away.
Rongzhen rubbed his arm that was irritated by the cold wind, and was about to push open the car door and get out when he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Turning her head, she met three pairs of eyes filled with curiosity, scrutiny, doubt, and other complex expressions. She paused, confused, "What, what happened?"
Why are they all looking at her like this? It's scary.
The man called Captain Zhao tilted his head and stared at her for a moment, then returned to normal and said, "It's okay."
"Then I'll leave?" Rongzhen tentatively put her hand on the car door switch as if she was being grabbed by the dean.
Captain Zhao nodded indifferently, "Go ahead."
He had nothing else to say.
The two in front had quietly turned back while they were talking.
Rongzhen quickly opened the car door and jumped out, waved goodbye to the three people in the car, turned around and ran towards the doorway.
The old building was extremely quiet at this time, and the entire street was silently immersed in the night. Apart from the faint sound of someone looking for a cat that just came and quickly disappeared, the only sound was Rong Zhen's footsteps.
No, there was another sound of footsteps, louder, heavier, and more dragging than hers, so it could be easily distinguished.
It was the butcher who came back from the side of the old building, holding a dripping garbage bag in his hand. He walked slowly towards the doorway and gave Rong Zhen the same greasy smile as in the morning.
"The little girl is back." The butcher took a few steps closer, his hands on his belt, and muttered to himself: "Come, come, let me show you a treasure."
Rongzhen was born in the era of information explosion and has seen all kinds of rubbish.
As soon as he put his dirty hand on his pants, she guessed what he was going to do.
Sure enough, the next moment the guy's belt loosened, and his pants fell to his knees, revealing his greasy waistband.
He wanted to scare Rongzhen, thinking that she would be shy and scream, but the expected scene did not happen.
When he made a move, Rongzhen looked away without shyness or screaming. She just gave him a hard kick that would make him infertile, without any thanks.
"ah!!!"
A shrill scream of pain echoed through the night sky, startling a flock of crows in the distance that flew by cackling.
There was a scream, but it was the butcher's own.
He endured a weight that was unbearable in life. He held his crotch and hunched over, like a shrimp with its thread pulled out, trembling and screaming.
Seeing that the situation was not right, someone who had just gotten out of the car to help said:...I have a craving for a cigarette and want to go back and have a smoke to relieve myself.
When he paused, Rong Zhen seized the opportunity and kicked the tall and strong butcher again, completely knocking him to the ground. His screams had turned into the wail of a pig being slaughtered, to the point where anyone who heard it was heartbroken and moved to tears.
The pointed toe of the high heel collided with the man's weak spot and broke into pieces in two hits as expected.
Such a silver-plated gun head actually dares to show off and cause trouble.
Is it just because he is bigger and stronger than others?
Rong Zhen doesn't care what happened in the past. Now she has finally hit a wall. She may be powerless against ghost stories, but that doesn't mean she can't deal with a hooligan. Otherwise, all the fighting and self-defense skills she learned in her previous life would be in vain.
"Brave lady, do you need any help?" Captain Zhao watched her display her power and walked over, suppressing his urge to smoke.
Of course Rongzhen needs it. "If it's on your way, can you help me take him to the police station?"
Since she had already taken action, she might as well send him to jail for a while to prevent retaliation from the other party later.
By the time he got out, she had already moved elsewhere, making it impossible to find him even if she wanted to seek revenge. "He stayed up late at night, acting like a hooligan and harassing women. He very likely has a criminal record. I hope the police can conduct a thorough investigation and put an end to this cancer that harms society."
Rongzhen held his head high and spoke confidently, speaking in a red and professional manner.
Captain Zhao nodded in agreement, walked over and picked up the howling pile of mud on the ground with one hand.
The garbage bag in the muddy hand fell off, and the clear water that was originally dripping suddenly turned into sticky bright red blood after the man glanced over, dripping, as if telling a silent grievance.
The two people waiting in the car smelled the familiar smell again, and immediately sat up straight, shouting to Captain Zhao with serious faces: "Boss..."
Captain Zhao waved his hand and said, "No need to come over. I know what's going on. It's a small matter."
What he considered a trivial matter, the other two did not dare to treat lightly. They remained cautious and alert, with the weapons at their waists ready to be used at any time.
Tick-tick-tick-
Perhaps because the man didn't react, the noise made by the garbage bag became louder and louder.
Rongzhen's ears moved: "What's that sound?"
Captain Zhao casually said, "He peed himself in fear."
Rong Zhen: “…”
It’s really Wu Yu. His father opened the door for Wu Yu, and Wu Yu arrived home.
Such a bluffing coward actually dares to play the role of a late-night butcher exhibitionist. Who gives him the courage?
Captain Zhao shook the man with disdain and said to Rong Zhen, "It's okay, you can go up."
"Thank you very much, good night!" Rongzhen bowed and said goodbye, then ran upstairs.
The corridor was as quiet as a chicken, with only the dim lights lighting up one by one, illuminating every corner she passed.
Without bumping into the little boy playing football, and without hearing any faint whispers in the dark, Rongzhen ran smoothly to the door of her house in one breath.
Then, a light came on in the window on the third floor, and a furry head poked out from inside. Seeing the people and cars below that had not left yet, it immediately waved its arms.
Captain Zhao nodded in greeting, got in the car and said to the driver, "Let's go, it's time to work."
After the car started, it rushed out suddenly. The screams coming from the trunk, accompanied by the sound of dripping water, drifted away along with the car.
Rongzhen's ears twitched to make sure she heard correctly.
But think about it, since they specialize in dealing with this kind of thing, and since they don't want her to know, then she should just pretend not to hear it.
The world is so dangerous. The more you know, the faster you may die.
Instead of worrying about these things, it’s better to go wash up and go to bed early.
While brushing her teeth, Rongzhen specifically observed her current appearance through the mirror.
To be honest, she does look good, with big eyes, a small nose, a small mouth, and fair skin. At first glance, she looks a bit like the ragdoll calico cat she raised in her previous life.
Well, I don't know how it was connected to this. Anyway, apart from the fact that the original owner looked a little thin and not very tall, other aspects of her appearance were actually quite consistent with the current aesthetic standards. Even if she was not a great beauty, she was still a pretty girl.
No wonder she could easily break through that group of handsome men and beautiful women, yet was still targeted by that nasty gangster.
Of course it is not her fault that she is being thought of. Beauty is not a crime. The guilty ones are those who covet beauty.
Just because that guy gave her a disgusting look twice in the morning and evening, Rongzhen felt that kicking him just twice was too easy for him.
He'd better pray that he doesn't meet her after he gets out, otherwise...
With a cold snort, Rongzhen spat out the toothpaste foam, and accidentally exerted too much force with her hand, breaking the toothbrush handle.
Rongzhen: ? ?
Are you really that strong? Can you easily break the toothbrush handle? Or is there something wrong with the quality of this toothbrush?
She examined it carefully for a while and found that the toothbrush was not a counterfeit product, but a new one that she had just found in the cabinet on the sink last night.
So maybe it's her problem.
She has become stronger!
When she kicked the butcher before, she actually had a vague feeling about it, but the situation at the time did not allow her to be distracted. She could only try her best to hit the opponent's weakness and try to make him lose the power to resist.
The effect was even better than she had imagined, and the man was crippled in just two strokes.
It can be seen that she used a lot of force. It was obviously not there when she first came yesterday, but how could it change after a day and a night?
Rong Zhen was very sure that even though he had encountered several ghost stories since he came here, he had not had any physical contact with those monsters, so there should be no possibility of infection and mutation.
But the occasional itching at the base of the ears, the intermittent tingling in the tailbone, and the sudden increase in strength overnight all indicate that some changes are taking place.
It is very likely that the original owner's body had been contaminated by those things before she came!
After realizing this, Rongzhen's mood suddenly became heavy.
Is it possible that regardless of whether the original owner disappeared in last night's subway ghost story, she will transform into the cat monster required by the plot?
Now if it were her turn, she might not turn into a ghost cat person, but she would definitely not escape the category of cat monster. The dream she had last night might be an omen.
I don’t know what she will become when it’s her turn. I hope she can be a little cute, so that when she goes to the male and female protagonists to complete the task, it will be easier for them to show mercy.
Rongzhen thought to herself with a smile, but the smile on her face looked like crying.
Who understands? I originally planned to be a human, but before I could take action, I was forced to become a cat.
Does she still need to find a poop-scooper for herself?
hateful!
