It's getting late now, and it's the dead of night. According to common sense, at this time, I either stay in the house and cook by myself, or I light up the lamp to make some of her gadgets. What I have observed these days That's how it turned out, but today was suddenly different, which surprised me and the girls.

Like me, they all have an idea, that is, is it possible that Yingchun is still staying in the house, but they just went to bed early tonight, or they forgot to turn on the lights because they caught a cold or something. The most explanatory idea now is also the one we can accept for the time being.

So the three of us carried kerosene lamps and headed towards the city gate. When I got there, I looked around the city gate and saw that the city gate was tightly closed and tied with wooden bolts, so I was slightly relieved. Yingchun was not taken away by something outside, otherwise it would be impossible to tie the city gate outside the city. From this, it is speculated that she is either still in the house or in a certain area of ​​the castle, which also solves my biggest problem. worry.

But it's not too early to be happy. There is still a symbol on the city gate, which is still the three vertical and one horizontal scratches. This is near the underground river where the water is taken from the ground, and I have seen it on the stone statue in the bison area, but It may have been more than half a month since the last time I saw it, and seeing it again now, I really feel a little weird.

And I also saw that under the scratches, the sawdust of the city gate was still fresh, which can prove that it may have happened not long ago.

Could it be that Song Yingchun's failure to light the lamp or fire at night has something to do with it?

After a little understanding, we went to Yingchun's house again, and knocked on the door for a long time, but the door was never opened, and when I knocked again, the door was knocked open by me, it was not locked at all, it was just a cover-up Then, I pushed the door open, and everyone had an ominous premonition. After entering the house, they found that there was no trace of Yingchun inside. Not only that, there were her left shoes beside her bed, the table inside the house collapsed, and the house was in a mess , obviously after a fight.

"Is there anyone else in this castle?" Bai Lu asked.

"No, if there was, Zhou Bo and I should have discovered it a long time ago, but we have never noticed or noticed that there are other people living here." Yunwen said.

"It is said that there are ghosts in the castle. Will there be some ghosts, vampires, werewolves and other things coming out to attack people? Oh, it's all my fault. I shouldn't be angry with Yingchun. I don't know this girl now. Did you encounter something?" Bai Lu said a little anxiously, then coughed and got up again, and it seemed that her body was affected again.

Now I can't be like the girls, preconceived to guess the result, this is not helpful to the truth, so I didn't participate in their discussion, but then looked at all the clues left at the scene, I specifically looked at the damage There were obvious scratches on the table, and the reason for the collapse was that the legs of the table were affected, and they were broken due to being pressed by heavy objects and could not bear it. It can be seen that the weight of the visitor may not be light.

Yingchun usually stays with her little follower, the wooden man. The wooden man was formerly the merman. Speaking of its hand, it is not a problem to catch a fish. Li can also last a few rounds with me, which is considered evenly matched, so I speculate for the time being that the opponent may have been countered during the scuffle with the wooden man, crushed the table, and got scratches because of panic.

But a little bit, relying on my hearing, such a big movement, it is impossible not to notice it at all. I spend most of my day making potatoes and helping the girls clean up the house. I must be able to hear the decibels, but why not?

At this moment, I suddenly realized that it was because Yunwen was playing the piano. At that time, we cleaned up the entire castle house. It was almost evening. Sometimes I wonder if the light will affect Yunwen's performance, but Yunwen's memory is particularly good. Even without the light, I think she can finish playing a song. After all, she knows all about the gestures and will not forget them.

From this, I listened to the piano music completely, indulged in it, and ignored the wind and grass outside. Maybe it was during that time that I didn't hear Yingchun's call for help when I was in a trance, and I didn't listen to those abnormal movements. It's still a little far away from the castle, so if you don't pay attention to it, it's easy to ignore it.

Afterwards, I checked the charcoal in the fireplace again. It was obvious that it was a little cold, but it was still warm. Judging from the time, it was similar to what I predicted.

Based on this calculation, it should have been missing for about three or four hours, which basically corresponds to the freshness of the scratches on the city gate.

"I've been missing for three or four hours, but the city gate hasn't been opened yet, no one is there, and the wooden man is also missing. The city wall is four or five meters high. If you want to climb up to this level and carry Yingchun, you must have your claws embedded in it." It is only possible within the shoulder, and it is guaranteed not to fall, but there is no blood on the ground near the city wall, so it is definitely impossible to go that way, but this kind of scratch is impossible for birds, it is not flying away, so it must not be from the city wall. Walk around." I muttered.

"Brother Zhou Bo, do you think there will be some monsters and ghosts to drag her away, or the mountain spirit will eat her directly, otherwise how could she disappear out of thin air? The city gate is still closed, but this room is empty. After all, there are all kinds of dirty things on this island." Bai Lu said.

Bai Lu's lips turned pale. It was obvious that she was more resistant to this result, and now she was very anxious.

At this time, Yunwen squatted down, picked up a bunch of brown fur at my feet, and said, "Sister Bailu, don't worry too much, pay attention to your body, look, this is probably left by the perpetrator. , It doesn’t look like those extremely dark and empty things, but rather the fur of some wild beasts, and if a wild beast hurts someone, there will definitely be bloodstains on the scene, but you see, there is no bloodstain.”

"Beast? Could it be the kind of huge beast that swallows people in one bite?" Bai Lu asked.

I shook my head, if it was that big, I said: "If it is really that big, the width of the mouth should be at least 37 centimeters. After all, Yingchun looks about 1.6 meters five, first of all, it must exceed the width of her shoulders, and the height of the opening must also be More than 1.6 meters five, otherwise, if you only bite other places, blood will be left, and the proportion of this kind of mouth is abnormal. Even if there is one, the head must be bigger than the mouth, and the body must be bigger than the head. According to a certain proportion of creatures In other words, in that case, it is impossible for its body to get in."

Only then did Bai Lu breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that what I said was reasonable and well-founded, she didn't feel so flustered, and said, "Yes, brother Zhou Bo's analysis is thorough, so what do you think the situation will be like?"

I took the lock of hair in Yunwen's hand, kneaded it back and forth, smelled it again, and said: "The hair is hard, and it is a bit similar to the hyena I picked up when I went to Africa to perform missions. It is a canine breed, but the newcomer is a little different, its hair does not smell of carrion, which means it does not often eat carrion, and the smell of blood is also light, and it may be a little bit smarter like those orangutans."

"Hyena?" Bai Lu muttered.

At this time, I thought that when we were fetching water, Yunwen and I saw a half-bitten fish near the underground river. At that time, I judged that it was some kind of dog bite, a sign of dog teeth bite. Obviously, I saw the three vertical and one horizontal paw prints nearby, so I connected the clues.

"Yes, Hyena, and I also know where Yingchun has gone, maybe I can look for it, now the situation is urgent, Yunwen, you and Bai Lu wait for me in the house, I will look for it." I said.

"I'll go with you. Sister Bailu can take care of herself now, so she just needs to stay and take care of herself. You must not refuse this time, or I will never talk to you again." Yunwen said nervously.

I saw that Yunwen said that, and I also took a look at Bailu, and when she saw this, she said, "Then please help me find her, I can take care of myself."
