Chapter 067 Crazy Tentacles-6
"Recently, some citizens have reported that they have been suffering from nightmares for a long time, which has made all aspects of their lives very difficult."
In the office, the boss was holding documents in one hand and tapping the table unconsciously with the other.
Jiang Yan and the boss looked at each other, "Was it done by a monster?"
"Not sure yet." The boss handed the information to Jiang Yan, "So I'm sending you to investigate, today."
Jiang Yan lowered his eyes and glanced at the information. "Am I the only one?"
The boss said, "Yes, Xiao Li has other tasks."
"Okay then."
Jiang Yan put away the documents and was about to leave when his boss called him back. He met his boss's inquiring gaze and asked, "Are you getting along well with your partner?"
"Hmm?" Jiang Yan didn't understand the purpose of his boss asking this question, but he still answered truthfully, "It's OK, she's good."
The boss shook his head. "I'm asking something else."
Jiang Yan was startled, then reacted, "She doesn't know my specific job, don't worry."
"That's fine." The boss said calmly, "You should be aware of the nature of our job, so don't involve ordinary people."
Jiang Yan nodded and whispered with some complaint: "It was obviously the person you, the boss, asked me to find..."
The boss coughed a few times and said, "Isn't this helping you hide your identity?"
"Look at Xiao Li, he is still actively preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination." The boss praised, "The student identity is his best disguise, so the safety factor of being an undercover agent is very high."
The corners of Jiang Yan's mouth twitched, so now... he has become a male mother.
"You can also get a red book," the boss said, "and go on more dates to show your family image. Do it for the monsters to let their guard down."
Jiang Yan was silent for a second, "Okay, I'll try my best."
"Oh, right." Jiang Yan had just taken a step when he was stopped by his boss. A deep voice came from behind him, "Your tasks for this month are all in the information you have. They are not very urgent, so I will give you a more important task to strengthen the relationship between you and your wife."
"I see."
Jiang Yan frowned and left the office.
"A new mission?"
Zhang Keke was typing away on the keyboard at her desk while taking a moment to glance at Jiang Yan who was in a daze not far away.
Jiang Yan came back to his senses, adjusted his facial expression, and walked towards his office. "It's a month's supply, which is quite easy."
"Oh~, no wonder Xiao Li didn't come with you." Zhang Keke stretched, "Hey, I heard that a super scary monster appeared in our city, but no one has seen it."
"Yes, that's the target of your last mission." Zhang Keke held up her chin and thought, "So you're the only one who has seen that new monster. It's a pity that you can't remember it clearly."
"I would have almost forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it." Jiang Yan turned on the computer in front of him and said to Zhang Keke behind him while waiting for it to start up, "I failed the last mission, but the boss didn't ask me to continue tracking. I thought he assigned the task to another colleague."
"The boss has sealed up the files on that monster," Zhang Keke said. "It's said that it's too dangerous, but luckily the monster hasn't caused any more trouble so far."
"But you said that monster ate many people." Jiang Yan said, "Are we really going to give up just like that?"
Zhang Keke shook her head, also showing a bewildered expression, "I don't know either. After all, it was the boss's order. He told us to leave the big monster alone."
"I'm not saying that." Zhang Keke suddenly lowered her voice, "I and others all suspect that the boss has been bribed by that new monster."
"Think about it, the facilities in our company are all provided by monsters." Zhang Keke said seriously, "Although the boss said that he only makes friends with good monsters, the nature of monsters and humans is all in one thought, who can tell for sure?"
"Besides, Xiao Li secretly told me before that he saw the boss and our sponsor check into a hotel with his own eyes."
As soon as Zhang Keke finished speaking, Jiang Yan's face changed slightly. He could no longer suppress his curiosity and raised his head slightly, "Is this true?"
"This is just our guess." Zhang Keke said, and then immediately said, "Don't let the boss know."
Jiang Yan nodded.
After the computer was connected to the Internet, he typed on the keyboard according to the information he got from his boss.
In Area C, several households in the same residential building had nightmares on the same night. The symptoms were like being possessed by a ghost, and they were extremely realistic.
People who had nightmares woke up the next day feeling mentally devastated, as if their blood had been drained away.
Jiang Yan took notes, said goodbye to his colleague Zhang Keke, and immediately set off for his destination.
About twenty minutes later, Jiang Yan arrived at Area C.
At this time, he discovered that Area C was very close to Qingshui Street, where disappearances occurred frequently.
A subtle feeling took root in Jiang Yan's heart. He stood in the dim sunlight, looking up at the newly built community building in front of him.
Field investigation.
Jiang Yan stretched out his hand to block the strong sunlight, and then walked in. It was very quiet inside, as if no one lived there.
A few minutes later, he arrived at the target apartment building and met a young man who was just about to go out at the stairs.
"Hello, I'm from the Investigation Bureau." Jiang Yan stopped him and showed him his ID.
The young man was a little slow to react, and after a long while he said "Oh, OK", and then accepted Jiang Yan's question with dark circles under his eyes. However, when he spoke, he cried, "Brother, you are finally here!"
When Jiang Yan saw the boy's dark circles, he was a little dumbfounded, until he suddenly rushed over and hugged Jiang Yan tightly, saying with snot and tears: "Wow, it's terrible, it's really terrible."
Jiang Yan tried to calm the young man, but just as he opened his mouth, he suddenly felt someone's eyes falling on his back.
His eyebrows twitched twice, and he turned his head to look back at the road he came from. There were only perfectly trimmed grass, tall ginkgo trees, and the vague outlines of buildings in the distance, and then nothing else.
He was hallucinating, and soon, the sound of the boy crying in his ears brought his thoughts back to his senses.
"I'm here to solve this matter." Jiang Yan patted the boy on the back. He couldn't understand why this big boy could cry so sadly. He was obviously an adult. "Don't cry."
But the young man's tears seemed to never stop flowing, and they continued to flow like a spring. "My girlfriend cheated on me, my company fired me, and I was scolded by my parents yesterday. I couldn't even sleep well tonight. Woo woo woo... What a miserable life I have."
Jiang Yan's heart skipped a beat.
It's a bit pitiful.
Jiang Yan couldn't bear it and hugged the young man back.
They were of similar height, but the boy was crying with his head buried, almost wetting Jiang Yan's clothes on his chest.
But Jiang Yan didn't mind. Instead, he raised his hand and touched the boy's head, and comforted him in a gentle tone: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, and I'll be fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone put his arm around his shoulder from behind.
Jiang Yan paused slightly, twisted his neck stiffly to look, and then, under the broken sunlight, a handsome face came into view.
He was a handsome stranger with a tall figure, deep and handsome features. His black shirt was unbuttoned to the third button, revealing his well-defined abdominal muscles.
Jiang Yan fixed his eyes on the bony hands that were holding his shoulders. Soon, the hands left his shoulders, and then a deep and magnetic voice sounded in his ears, "Hello, I'm Mengtang, Tang as in pond. I'm also a resident of this community."
"Ah? Hello."
Jiang Yan responded calmly on the surface, but his heart was full of doubts.
Mengtang?
It’s similar to his wife’s name…
One is Mengtang and the other is Mengtang.
The main thing is that the "Tang" in "pond", this Mengtang, is exactly the same name as the "male protagonist" in many of his previous dreams.
Is this another coincidence?
Or maybe the world he is in now is actually a dream? !
The more he thought about it, the more unbelievable it became. Besides, this world was already very spiritual. In order to avoid going insane, Jiang Yan immediately discarded these messy thoughts in his mind.
After taking a simple deep breath, Jiang Yan let go of the young man. He shifted his gaze and began to look at the man in front of him named Meng Tang.
His complexion was normal, and there was nothing unusual about his body.
Jiang Yan asked: "Did you have a nightmare too?"
Meng Tang: “Of course.”
"But I think you are quite normal." After saying that, Jiang Yan glanced meaningfully at the depressed young man beside him.
Meng Tang curled his lips slightly, grabbed Jiang Yan's wrist without saying anything, and under his astonished gaze, put his palm to his chest, "Listen."
"My illness is here." Meng Tang tapped his chest with Jiang Yan's hand.
The other person's palm was slightly wider, covering Jiang Yan's entire hand tightly. Jiang Yan's heartbeat accelerated. He didn't understand Meng Tang's behavior and even suspected that the other person was playing a trick on him.
But they don’t even know each other, what’s the purpose of the other party doing this?
So, Jiang Yan thought about it for a long time, and finally concluded that Meng Tang's behavior was a brain drain.
Maybe the nightmare messed up my brain.
Jiang Yan looked distressed and expressed his understanding of Meng Tang's strange behavior.
"Okay, I understand." Jiang Yan pretended to be calm, and then prepared to pull his hand away from the other person's chest.
Once, twice...not a single movement.
The opponent was too strong and Jiang Yan couldn't even pull it out.
"What's wrong?"
The key point is that this man pretended to know nothing and asked with concern.
Jiang Yan opened his eyes and glared at him.
This glare almost drove Meng Tang crazy, but luckily he controlled himself.
Inner thoughts: Damn, my wife is so cute.
At the same time, the depressed young man asked: "...What are you doing?"
The moment he finished speaking, Meng Tang immediately looked at the young man, and his expression was as if he was looking at a third party on the scene, very unfriendly.
The guy was stared at so hard that his hair stood on end.
etc.
The young man was startled and his eyes gradually widened.
That's the feeling.
The sense of déjà vu from yesterday's nightmare.
The young man blurted out "Fuck!" and then raised his hand tremblingly and pointed at Mengtang, "It's you!"
Jiang Yan didn’t think too much about it. Looking at the young man’s reaction, he just thought that the two people knew each other, after all, they lived in the same building.
“You, you, you…”
The young man's speech became inarticulate, and Jiang Yan seemed to notice it. Recalling the series of words the young man said while crying at the beginning, he seemed to understand what was going on.
Jiang Yan blocked the young man behind him, raised his head and looked at Meng Tang, his thin lips slightly parted, "Is it you?"
Meng Tang thought his identity as an octopus was exposed: "Ah, huh? Wha, what?"
Help, have we really been discovered?
Woohoo, he was really in tears after marrying such a smart wife.
Jiang Yan's eyes were firm, "Are you the bastard who robbed this young man?"
Meng Tang: "How do you know..."?
No, why is it this sentence?
