Mysterious creature sightings

The body of the vampire blanket was sent to the nearest branch for preliminary containment and protection. After that, Lin Jia and the others planned to wait a day before returning to the headquarters.

Finally, when I woke up and went to the branch door, I saw Lin Zheng already sitting in the car waiting, wondering who he was talking to on the phone.

Lin Jia walked over and knocked on the car window to see him hang up the phone. She only heard the last words, which seemed to say "she's gone."

"When did you come?" Lin Jia asked.

"Ten minutes ago." Lin Zheng opened the car door and got out, letting Jiang Yuxing drive.

The wound on his shoulder was re-bandaged, and a bit of white was exposed from the collar of his clothes. Judging by his movements, it didn't seem to hurt much anymore.

Jiang Yuxing glanced at the car and then over his shoulder: "Where is Jiang Yue?"

"Let's go." He didn't say much, and he and Lin Jia went to the branch building to input biometric information and take out the blood-sucking blanket corpse.

On the way, Lin Jia briefly talked about the preliminary research on the blood-sucking blanket: "What it secretes is not corrosive substances, but rapidly coagulating mucus. Therefore, the suction cup peeling off your skin is probably purely based on the suction force, which is why the pain is unbearable."

Although the blood-sucking blanket was burned by Ling Jiangyue into a curled-up piece of stingray dried meat, you could still clearly see the mucus on the edge of the sucking cup, which solidified like amber.

Lin Zheng: “Can you tell which species is closest to you?”

"It's really hard to judge. It does look a lot like a manta ray, with six squares of diamonds, wings and a tail, but the manta ray's tail doesn't sting like a scorpion. The impact looks very strong, and the tail is stored in it. The secretions are mostly alkaloids of some kind and are high in protein, possibly enzymes.”

"Alkaloids and enzymes... are similar to the venom of some octopuses." Lin Zheng took over.

Lin Jia: "Yes. Three hours after the death of the blood-sucking blanket, the secretions extracted can still paralyze experimental mice, but the paralysis effect is not as strong as on fish. When used on fish, other chain reactions can occur, and the tissue structure It looks like paper soaked in water. What do you think is the reason?"

He pondered for a while, stopped at the door, opened the door handle and let her in, and then said as he walked: "Enzyme. It can transform the digestive enzymes in its own body to deal with the same prey by absorbing the prey's blood?"

"How dare you guess, but it is true. That's why it couldn't wait to run out and wrap around another witness, and then flew to you with all its strength. It planned to strangle the same type of prey."

"If the only prey left for it at this time are different types, such as sucking human blood and then biting a dog, its lethality will be greatly reduced, because the assembled specific enzyme can only be used continuously on organisms in the same population. "

Lin Jia sighed a little as she spoke: "It's amazing, isn't it? Among the unknown creatures we have encountered so far, only this blood-sucking blanket can control the transformation of enzymes, and it has also smartly learned to recognize similar prey to save energy."

Lin Zheng was calmer than her, and thought of another problem: "So even if we are fully prepared, there is a high possibility that we will be caught in one fell swoop."

The best outcome is probably to be severely burned due to self-rescue.

"Yes, you almost died for scientific research," Lin Jia calmed down, "Thanks to Jiang Yue for coming in time."

Speaking of Ling Jiangyue, the following topics will naturally revolve around her.

"Lu Yu is right. Her brain power is still evolving. Even if the blood-sucking blanket is not as large as the sonic eel monster's killing range last time, its strength is not low. After she yelled, she showed that she was being beaten before even turning on the flamethrower. With her fire reaction, she may now be able to directly cause psychosomatic diseases through mind control. Or maybe she is already so powerful, but we can't study it clearly."

Lin Zheng: "Yes. She is so powerful that she can even go to the Himalayas to find a snowman by herself."

Lin Jia raised her eyebrows high. Is this what she meant?

"Going to the Himalayas? Sleeping with you all night, climbing to the highest peak in the world and jumping off overnight?"

"..." Lin Zheng pressed his brows together and glanced at her expressionlessly.

Lin Jia suppressed her laughter and scanned her palm prints with him to open the temporary shelter. When she walked in, she continued: "So where did she go?"

"Go to the mountains to look for Gu insects. The moth she found yesterday was smothered to death by her. She is going to find another live one to observe again." He thought of Ling Jiangyue's guilty look when he tried to shoot a live ghost butterfly last night, and his eyes There was an almost invisible smile in it.

"Gu insect? She is really Miao Jiang's grass Gu woman. Why didn't you keep her?"

"How to keep it? She will throw away anything for freedom." Lin Zheng did not mock himself in his words. He spoke in a normal tone and opened the storage box, revealing the body with a blood-sucking blanket fixed inside.

"I don't believe you don't have any plans," Lin Jia stood aside with her hands folded, looking up and down at him, "After the last time I tricked her into taking a look, you couldn't let go anymore, right? I also contacted Ling Jiangyu. Didn't you guys discuss it? The way to save it?"

Lin Zheng was not surprised that she knew that he was in contact with Ling Jiangyu. After checking the blood-sucking blanket, he put the storage box into the transport cart and raised his eyes and said, "What do you think can be done? She is someone who can delete memories."

"Okay, let me ask in another way. Will she come back?"

"meeting."

"So you must have thought of something. She had no intention of coming back before." The cart's wheels made a slight noise on the floor. They walked back, and Lin Zheng suddenly laughed after a while.

"Ling Jiangyu said that she was very soft-hearted when she was a child, and she has not changed as she grows up."

She hated Lu Gezhi so much, hated Lu Yu for using audio to control her, and finally gave Lu Yu a birthday gift.

Lu Yu is right, she is a good child, she can distinguish between love and hate, good and bad.

Lin Jia looked at him meaningfully: "I knew you would never let go."

Lin Zheng showed a smile similar to Ling Jiangyue's.

Only a boy who is controlled by passion will only focus on love and hate. Obviously gain and loss are the most important.

...

Another winter.

Another savage sighting occurred near Shennongjia. The Special Operations Office rushed there overnight. When we got off the elevated highway, the weather suddenly changed and it rained.

Big G's wheels rolled through the rain and stopped at the door of the police station. Lin Zheng waved his ID in front of the approaching police and asked, "UMA Lin Zheng, where are the witnesses?"

"Interrogation room, I was very frightened." The man led them inside, and the eyes of several policemen who were fine for the moment seemed to drift towards them.

Lin Zheng ignored it and walked to the door of the interrogation room and looked inside. A slender girl with her back turned to him, wet and trembling, was describing what she saw and heard to a female police officer.

Similar scenes, similar cases, Lin Zheng looked at the stranger inside, but remembered that rainy night two years ago.

"Are you going to take notes?" Lin Jia asked from behind.

Lin Zheng came to his senses, shook his head and said, "You go. I have to leave early in an hour."

This is his common excuse this year, and everyone knows what's going on.

Jiang Yuxing couldn't help but say: "The love between you empty-nesters and college students studying in the Alps is really unique."

Xu Jiayan: "Shut up, be careful of a thawing creature from the Alps appearing in your bed tonight."

Lin Zheng was too lazy to pay attention to them. He negotiated with a few policemen outside for a while and returned to the car early.

The black off-road vehicle is still the same one, but there are many brightly colored decorations in it: a three-toed jerboa made of felt, a glass frog made of glass, a transparent snake-eye butterfly specimen...

Ling Jiangyue brought them all back from outside. Like a traveling frog, she would send something back from time to time to let people know that she was still safe.

Lin Zheng sat in the driver's seat and stared at the ugly glass frog for a while, then turned around and drove back.

It wasn't raining everywhere, at least not in Shenshan.

Ling Jiangyue brought a nest of ants with very powerful forelimbs and placed them on the ground corresponding to the former No. 10 observation room in the underground laboratory - this place has been filled with cement by the military, and there is no longer a place to visit the Germanium Laboratory. exist.

There were many people who died here, and most of them were not familiar with her. They could not help with revenge or pay homage every year. The gift she could remember to prepare was a nest of ants picked on the road.

She looked at the group of ants eagerly crawling outside and disappearing among the soil and stones, and thought of No. 10.

The wind on the mountain was a bit strong, and her hair was blown around. The wind carried the sound of someone slamming the car door at the foot of the mountain. When she looked back, her long hair was blown on her cheeks, blocking her sight and making it impossible to see clearly.

But she knew who it was.

It was Lu Yu two years ago.

It was Ling Jiangyu twelve years ago.

This is Lin Zheng now.

"You found me again." (End of chapter)
