Chapter 187: Being discovered by colleagues on the first day of work...
Na Fei quickly stepped back to keep some distance, her face turning pale with fright.
It was a flower with an eye in the pistil. Its body was made up of tangled branches, forming an outline similar to that of a human body. Seeing Nafei being scared away, it staggered away from the window.
Aspirin and Jianai ran outside quickly, and as soon as they went out, several white branches came towards them.
They each performed miracles to deal with the situation, and were not as embarrassed as they were when they were ambushed yesterday.
Anti and Iris followed him out of the house.
"It's the same thing as the flower branches under the snow yesterday. It's an impurity in this dream." Iris said.
"Oh." Anti raised his hand, the Lifeless Cane was already in his hand, with the fire attached to it.
Whoosh!
The flower branch was still struggling with the two anchors when a whip of fire suddenly fell and immediately whipped its branches and the main trunk of the flower into scattered snowflakes.
The two anchors turned around in surprise and saw Anti holding a cane.
Most people who follow Anti on the Internet are familiar with this weapon. Anti has been "popular" for many years, and his iconic weapon is this peculiar transformable cane.
But just as the flower monster was dispersed, the next moment...
boom!
Gunfire rang out.
Anti turned suddenly, and swung his staff as a sword, slicing the projectile and splitting it in two.
"You stay here." After saying this to Iris, Anti tapped the ground with his cane.
Mingzou started and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
The hunter man quickly turned around and ran away, but as soon as he took a step, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
One of his legs was broken.
"Ah...!" Just as he was about to scream, a foot stepped on his head directly, pressing his head into the snow below, and the sound was buried by the snow.
"For some personal reasons, I hate people shooting at me right now." Anti also stepped on the hunter's body with his other foot, putting his entire weight on him.
"Woo, woo, woo..." The hunter's head was buried in the snow and was almost suffocated.
It was not until his struggle became weak that Anti loosened his legs a little, allowing his face to free itself and breathe deeply.
"Have mercy on me! Have mercy on me! I am possessed by the devil!" Before he could even take a few breaths, the hunter began to beg for mercy.
Anti squatted on him and looked down at him: "You came just in time, let's talk about this village first. What is going on in your village?"
"No...don't know..."
Chi!
Anti used ice sculpture to create an ice cone and pierced the buttocks of the person below.
The hunter was about to shout again, but Anti pressed his head down again with his foot.
Wait until the reaction subsides a bit before releasing it.
"...I...I don't know...It's all the village chief and Boss Yang...They are the ones who arrange everything in the village...I'm just a hunter...let me go..."
"Do you know what happened to that snow monster just now?"
"...After those people came, there were often those things in the village...but they usually didn't do anything to us...I don't know anything else...that's all I know!"
Anti nodded, got up and got off the other person.
The hunter finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But when he looked up, he saw Anti raised his leg towards him and stepped down.
Click!
The hunter's head was crushed by Anti.
Blood mixed with other body fluids fell on Anti's clothes, and Big Mouth stuck out his tongue from under the clothes at the right time.
Because it is so cold here, the delicate big mouth is afraid that its tongue and saliva will freeze, so the attendance rate has dropped significantly.
After helping Anti lick the blood off his body and cleaning up the hunter's body, his big mouth quickly retracted. He looked like someone who got up in the middle of winter to go to the bathroom and then went back to bed because of the cold.
After cleaning up, Anti did not go back, but turned his gaze in another direction.
someone.
The other party did not escape, but walked out directly.
It’s Zheng Zheng.
"This is only the first day." Anti couldn't help but say.
"Yes, on the first day, I saw a new colleague stomping on a person's head and stretching out his tentacles to eat the person clean." Zheng Zheng said without any change in his expression.
"Aren't you going to run?"
"He can't run away. You just appeared next to him and knocked him down. I'm not very good at physical abilities, so I won't struggle." Zheng Zheng said.
"Why are you here?" Hearing this, Anti began to ask other questions.
"I walk outside every day after school. Just now I saw him running towards this side in a hurry with a gun in hand. Now is not his usual hunting time, so I wondered if something happened... Did he shoot you?"
"Ah."
"Then it's not surprising that you killed him back." Zheng Zheng looked calm.
"Killing him is not a very important matter. Teacher Zheng, did you hear what I just asked him?"
"I heard you. To investigate the things in this village, is this the reason why someone like you would come here?" Zheng Zheng nodded and asked An Ti.
"Yes." "..." Zheng Zheng was silent for a moment, then said, "Then I can provide you with some help regarding the anomalies in this village."
"Do you have any information?"
"Yes, and it should be not a small amount." Zheng Zheng said slowly.
……
Anti returned to the shabby house, and everyone was waiting inside. When they saw Anti coming back, they immediately asked about the gunshots, and Anti told them the truth about the hunter.
"It's that bastard!" Zhang Ning couldn't help but curse.
"Let's slow down our investigation. There are too many spies in this village. You may have been targeted because of all the actions you have taken." Anti didn't dwell on what he had already figured out, but instead talked about what they were investigating.
Aspirin frowned: "If you put it that way, we have already alerted the enemy, but we may not have touched the bottom line of the person behind the scenes, so for now this is just intimidation."
"Those flower monsters are somewhat similar to the cursed bodies twenty years later, but they are also quite different. They appear and disappear mysteriously in the snow without making any noise. We are unable to fully exert our strength now, and the risk of acting outside is too high." Na Fei said.
She was frightened by this kind of thing repeatedly, and thought to herself that after this time she would not go to the Snow Region again for a few years.
"The main thing is that we don't know the date in this dream. I tried to look for it, but found that it might be because of the dream. The specific date is very vague. I only know that it is winter now. I don't know how long it will take to the Snow Demon incident. If the distance is very close, it will be very disadvantageous to us." Aspirin had other considerations.
If they had not found the owner of the dream and seized the opportunity to break the dream logic when the Snow Demon incident broke out, then they would have directly faced a "real wandering god" under the dream logic.
Although Anti and Iris are very strong, they don't think they can go head-to-head with Youshen.
There is no doubt that the Snow Demon incident is a death line for them, and there is a high probability that they will die if they encounter it.
The most fatal thing is that they don’t know how far they are from the deadline.
If you act conservatively, it may indeed be safer, but it may also directly lead to accidents.
"At least you can't get any closer to the west of the village. Every time you go to explore the west of the village, you've been threatened. This has happened twice. It's hard to say how they'll react the third time." Zhang Ning said.
Everyone could only nod dully and reluctantly express their agreement.
Being completely conservative is not an option, but reckless advances are equally undesirable. If a few more of those snow monsters come, it will be difficult to please these half-baked people who have not fully utilized their strength even if they try their best.
After the discussion, Anti said goodbye and left with Iris.
If the four people here are targeted, he won't be able to get too close to them in the future.
Although Anti estimated that he was also being watched closely.
On the way back, Anti was thinking about the appropriate and quick way to sweep the village.
At this time, crying and children's noises were heard.
The two followed the sound and found a few older children playing around by a small pond. Inside the pond, Yang Xue was climbing out of the icy water, crying and trying to get ashore.
But every time she came up, the kids above would push her down again.
"How could you do this!" Yang Xue cried.
"We treat outsiders like this! If you want to go outside the mountains so much, you are an outsider!" said a child.
"Isn't it good outside the mountain? Only by going outside can we make the village better!" Yang Xue was puzzled and aggrieved.
"Who asked you to worry about these things? You should get married when you are a few years older! My grandma said that if people like you run away, no one will take care of your parents! There will be no one left in the village! You are just stupid, you believe whatever those outsiders say!" a girl scolded.
Just as Yang Xue was about to come up, the other children were about to push her forward.
Anti kicked the child who had done the action from behind and pushed him into the water.
"Ah!" the child screamed. The other children did not try to pull him away. They were frightened by Anti and scattered away.
An Ti went into the water, not caring about the cold water, and directly picked up Yang Xue and took her away from the pond.
Then sparks started burning on his body.
It is a luxury to turn on the ash state and help people warm up by a fire.
"Father Teacher..." Yang Xue was almost frozen to death, and she shouted subconsciously when she saw Anti.
"Yeah." Anti replied casually.
The fire from the ashes quickly evaporated both Yang Xue and An Ti's bodies, and An Ti then put Yang Xue down. Yang Xue was still a little reluctant to let go, as she felt that the priest teacher was really warm.
"Father teacher, you are on fire!" However, when she saw the flames on Anti's body that had not yet been extinguished, she still shouted in panic.
"It's okay." Anti patted his body, and all the flames and sparks went out.
"Wow! Is this the miracle that people outside the mountain talked about!?" Yang Xue's eyes sparkled.
Anti nodded.
"Hmph, with this miracle, it is now convenient for everyone to warm themselves by the fire! They also say that the outside of the mountain is not good. If you don't go outside the mountain, you won't be able to learn such amazing things!" Yang Xue's crying just now seemed to be fake, and she became very proud.
The child who had just been kicked into the water by Anti slipped away trembling.
"Then come on," Anti encouraged casually.
Yang Xue waved goodbye to An Ti lively. She no longer looked like she was bullied before. Instead, An Ti's mistake made her yearn for the outside world even more.
"He's a good kid." Iris said, looking at Yang Xue's back.
Anti didn't respond, turned around and continued walking towards the school.
Seeing this, Iris could only hide her sigh in her heart.
No matter how good it was, it was just a dream twenty years ago.
