Volume 4, Demon Raven Demon Palace_Chapter 217, The Intruder at Night
"I didn't lose anything, but I saw something come into the house last night."
"Oh? What is it like? ”
"Hmm...... Anyway, I didn't see it clearly at the time. At night, the housekeeper first heard the movement, and then got up and turned on the light. I got up to go to the bathroom, but when I went to the living room, I saw a dark figure crashing out of the window, breaking through the window and disappearing. It seems that the movement of that thing is so fast that Shen Mengtian can't see it clearly.
"Which window?" I looked around and asked, Shen Mengtian pointed to the gate, I looked up and saw a broken window, which had not yet been repaired. I stepped forward and looked up at the broken window, about half a meter in diameter, not very big, but if it was a big snake, it would be hard to say. It must not be a person who breaks in, and judging from the degree of brokenness, a person cannot be knocked out. Looking down, the broken glass slag had been cleaned, and I looked around and saw something shining under the curtain, and when I stepped forward to look, I saw that it was actually a small glowing stone.
"Huh?" Puzzled, I reached out and picked up this small stone, which was about the size of a fifty-point diamond, not glass slag because it was not transparent, but similar to ink, but glowing, and it looked quite beautiful.
"Is this your thing?" I turned around and placed the small stone I had picked up flat in the palm of my hand and asked.
Shen Mengtian, who heard the voice, walked over and took a look, then shook his head and said, "No, I haven't seen this thing." I asked the housekeeper......"
When she turned to look for the butler, I flipped my palm and burst into flames, and the inky stone burned in the flames, but it was actually a little brighter.
"Refractory?" I had a little bit of a plan in my heart, and as soon as the flame in my hand was extinguished, the housekeeper followed Shen Mengtian over, nodded to me and said, "Hello, can you show me?" Oh...... This is not our family, Madame does not have similar gems, nor is there an ornament of this color broken. ”
"By the way, did you see that thing at the time?" I asked.
"Hmm...... I didn't see it too clearly, it was similar to what my wife saw, and I told the police everything I could. His words flickered, as if he was hiding something.
"Mr. Butler, you don't need to hide anything. I've seen all the amazing things, not to mention, aren't there two things in the basement of your house that normal people can't imagine? Hehe, just tell me the truth. ”
The housekeeper listened to this, and after a moment of silence, he spoke: "At that time, I was resting in the room, but soon I heard a voice in the living room. I thought something might be wrong and left the room. When I got to the living room and turned on the light, I saw something squatting in the corner of the living room. ”
"Can you elaborate on what that thing you saw?" I asked.
He raised his hand and gestured, and said, "It's about a meter above the ground, its body is very wide, its whole body is ink-colored, and it looks a little like a huge toad squatting on the ground." ”
"Oh? Is there a difference with a toad? "I asked in detail.
"The difference is that it's just a creature that looks like a toad or a frog, but it has a long head, small eyes like two slits, and a belly that doesn't look so big and looks thinner. There are a lot of small spines on the back, and those little thorns are stones like the one you find, and they look like they glow. When I found it, I thought it was a very evil creature, and even had a sense of killing. So much so that it makes me think it's more intimidating than a lion or a tiger. But when it saw me, it screamed, smashed the glass and jumped out. When I ran out of the window to look outside, it was gone. The butler was obviously calm, and the description of what he saw was more accurate.
"Oh, I see. If it's convenient for you, find someone to draw the shape. ”
The housekeeper nodded and said, "Yes, a girl in charge of the kitchen at home can draw, I'll ask her to help, you wait." Then he walked out, and Shen Mengtian asked me, "Can you be sure what it is?" ”
"I can basically be sure, and when I look at the pictures, I should be 100% sure. Well? Where's your husband? "I asked strangely, why didn't I see him at home today, if something broke into the house, and it happened last night?
"He had an important meeting, and by the way, he asked me to convey my apologies to you, and he felt sorry for what happened in the restaurant last time."
"Oh, don't worry."
After a few words of greeting, I walked around the living room and the lawn outside, and the butler came over with a simple drawing, and I looked at it and immediately smiled. Although the drawing is a little cartoonish, it is still more similar to the real thing.
"Now I can almost be sure that it is an earth beast called Wuliang. It is a rare earth beast that lives in the south, feeds on decaying creatures, has a higher IQ than ordinary earth beasts, and will attack humans. There are strange hard thorns on its back, and these small thorns emit a strange black light to envelop the black dragon in times of danger, and help it escape. In my circle, there are people who will train the Uryo as a fighting pet. "When I was building a stronghold with the fat man, I also considered buying a few black birds, but when I asked about the price, I immediately broke off the idea. In the early nineties and late eighties, a black man cost hundreds of yuan, and now, a trained black man even costs more than 100,000 yuan, and this thing eats carrion, so it has to be specially prepared for food.
Of course, this thing is indeed very useful after training, and can do a lot of work, such as stealing things, breaking into enemy homes and sneak attacks, and monitoring and stepping on the house.
"Do you mean that someone is deliberately spying on my house? Or is someone trying to kill me? After I briefly introduced Wu Liang, Shen Mengtian immediately became alert.
"Probably not, I don't know anyone here in Shanghai who trains this kind of thing, and if it is a trained Wulu, it won't be so big when it breaks into someone else's house. I just looked outside the lawn, and the barrier that Mr. Xu sent was not destroyed, but there were traces of being brutally invaded, and it was obvious that the black man had paid a lot of price to break in, otherwise the hard thorns on its back would not have broken. And it also made a movement after breaking into the house, and it looked like it had not been trained, so it could be wild. ”
"Oh......" When he heard that it was wild, Shen Mengtian breathed a sigh of relief. Think of the whole thing as if a wild sparrow accidentally flew into your home!
"Nagisa is in the basement, right? I'm going to talk to it about something. ”
Entering the basement, the first thing Nagisa said when he saw me was: "Damn, someone is eyeing me!" It's all your fault! ”
Clearly, it sensed something unusual last night, and might even have discovered that it was an earth beast that had broken in. What I didn't tell Shen Mengtian just now is that although the black beast is wild, it doesn't mean that it doesn't have an owner, because its owner is most likely a demon.
"Don't get excited, didn't I come to you for a consultation? What do you think? ”
"What else can you see? This is too obvious, it must be that the old sheep demon found out about you and me together, and then sent the earth beast to step on the point to investigate, but it touched the enchantment outside and was injured and broke into the house before making a sound, and fled in panic after being discovered. I was discovered, the old sheep demon only found me this time, and next time he will send someone to arrest me! The more it spoke, the more angry it became, flapping its wings and flying up and down, unable to calm down.
"Don't worry, I'm very strange, the old sheep demon is in Yangding Mountain, how can it send the earth beasts of Shanghai to step on it? Not to mention sending demon beasts to kill you, these two places are thousands of kilometers apart. I asked curiously.
"The old sheep demon can't do it, but that doesn't mean it can't let others do it for it! Here in Shanghai, near Jiaxing, there is also a demon official who served in the Xingyue Demon Palace back then, and now he has turned into a human and is hiding among the common people. Nagisa said with a huff.
