When social terror becomes the favorite of the police

Chapter 388 Snake
Xiao Bo didn't expect to scare Lin Xiaoyan, and said with an embarrassed smile, "I was just... going along with the occasion."

I just heard a scary story, so I have to add some atmosphere.

Xiao Bo's words drew angry glares from the other three.

Lin Feng's expression was serious; ever since he arrived at this place, his demeanor had become increasingly grave.

As Lin Xiaoyan was going downstairs, she saw Lin Feng behind her seriously making hand seals. Her heart skipped a beat. Oh no... something really happened!
When we got downstairs, the owner was tidying up the tables, and his wife was picking vegetables.

"We're down. What would you like to eat? I'll make it for you."

The proprietress was a plump woman who looked very kind.

Lin Xiaoyan asked with a smile, "What dishes are available?"

The proprietress took the menu and handed it to Lin Xiaoyan, "We have everything except meat dishes."

"No meat!" Xiao Bo was shocked and looked at the proprietress.

The proprietress paused, looked at her husband beside her, and gave a wry smile.

After wiping the table, the boss chuckled and said, "It's not because of those..."

The boss gestured with his hands, indicating that he was referring to the snakes.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan didn't say anything more. She quickly ordered a few dishes and made a few bowls of noodles. Regardless of whether the snakes were real or not, they could just eat whatever they wanted tonight and leave tomorrow morning.

After ordering, the owner noticed that the customers looked unwell and sighed.

Lin Feng walked over and asked, "Boss, I'd like to ask if you've ever seen those snakes here? Or... big snakes!"

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, the boss paused, looked at Lin Feng, and asked somewhat nervously, "You... how did you know there was a giant snake?"

After he finished speaking, he looked outside, where it was completely dark.

He walked to the door, closed the shop door, and shut the doors and windows as well.

Seeing the boss's imposing manner, Lin Xiaoyan took out her amulet without saying a word.

Oh, the jade pendant around her neck was still there. She touched it and felt a little more relaxed.

"What I just told you is true; everyone here knows about it."

The boss sat down, poured water for the group, and began to speak again.

He was really suffering from holding it in. Although the higher-ups forbade him to talk about it, so much time had passed and no one from above had come to deal with it.

It not only affects their lives, but also their safety, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.

"Didn't I just say that the old man who sweeps the streets is dead?"

The old man lived alone. After he died, the government made arrangements for his funeral and buried him hastily.

But on the day of the burial, the grave, which had already been dug, was filled with snakes again…

"Later, there was no other way but to cremate the old man."

The boss took a sip of water and continued, "Strange things only started to happen after the old man was cremated."

All the livestock in our town disappeared overnight!

"There was a cattle farm at the foot of the mountain with three cows and two calves, but they're all gone!"

"When the police came, they found nothing. The only strange thing was that there was a particularly thick trail from the mountain to the cattle pen."

The shopkeeper gestured, "It's about this thick!"

"The police followed the tracks into the mountains, but found nothing."

"The livestock of other people's families have also disappeared, and snakeskins are hanging at their doors..."

Xiao Bo: "So, all of this is because of those snakes that were crushed?"

The boss nodded. "That's what we think. The young one was crushed to death, and the old one has come to take revenge."

"But didn't the truck that ran over those small snakes leave?"

Upon hearing this, the boss immediately became agitated, "He's gone! But he's dead!"

Lin Xiaoyan and the others: !!!
"How did you die?"

Boss: "He was bitten to death by a snake, and he was bitten to death in public. And the snake was a mountain peak."

"Boss, is this really true? You're making it sound increasingly far-fetched!" Xiao Bo said with a smile, but his expression gradually became tense. "So, what's the situation here? And where's that giant snake you mentioned? Has anyone seen it?"

Boss: "Ever since all the livestock disappeared, the people in our town have been living in fear."

Some people didn't believe in superstitions and went out to buy livestock, while others bought meat from other places...

As a result, they were gone the moment I bought them!

"In the end, one family was careful and put the meat under surveillance. That's when we found out that it had been taken by a snake."

"The snake seemed to have some kind of intelligence; it took the meat but nothing else."

The boss shook his head and said, "Then some people in the town got scared and left, saying they were going to stay with relatives and would come back when this matter was resolved."

"The reason why everyone was in such a hurry to move out was..."

The shopkeeper glanced out the window, got up, drew the curtains, and lowered his voice, saying, "A week ago, there was a bachelor around here. He was drunk that day, and while walking down the street, he suddenly saw..."

There's a huge snake coiled up in the house of that old man who died before!
The snake's body was so long it would take two or three people to hug it, and its length... the drunkard said it was probably over twenty meters long.

Nancy and Xiao Bo thought it was a bit of an exaggeration.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at Lin Feng, only to see that Lin Feng still had a serious expression.

Looking at Lin Feng like this, Lin Xiaoyan's heart sank lower and lower.

The shopkeeper continued talking about the strange things happening in the town, but Lin Xiaoyan had no interest in listening anymore.

She took out her phone and was shocked to find that it had no signal!
This discovery immediately reminded Lin Xiaoyan of scenes from horror movies.

"The food is ready, Lao Ding, come and serve the dishes."

Just then, the proprietress's voice interrupted the boss, who shouted, "Coming!"

He looked at Lin Xiaoyan and the others, "Eat, eat. After you finish eating, go upstairs and rest."

As he spoke, he went to the kitchen to get the dishes.

After the boss left, Lin Xiaoyan looked at Lin Feng and asked, "Did you discover something? Was what the boss said just now true?"

Lin Feng raised his head and nodded solemnly.

"There's definitely a problem here."

Nancy and Xiaobo:! ! !

"Come on, come on, let's eat. Even though there's no meat, the vegetarian dishes are delicious. My wife is an excellent cook..."

The boss carried a plate of food in each hand and placed it neatly on the table.

Soon, all the dishes were served.

The owner and his wife sat down at another table to eat noodles.

"No signal?"

Xiao Bo looked at his phone and asked in confusion.

The owner said while eating his noodles, "Ever since a few snakes died, there has been no cell phone signal in our town at night."

Xiao Bo: ...How am I going to sleep tonight?
After a quick meal, the group went upstairs.

Upstairs, they sat in a room.

Lin Xiaoyan, Nanxi, and Xiaobo stared intently at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng: ………

Why are you looking at me like that?

None of them spoke.

Lin Xiaoyan then reached out and touched each of their hands.

She frowned when she touched Lin Feng's hand.

Then, she got goosebumps all over her body.
