Duan Fei mumbled to himself, but he was not loud, so the policemen beside him could not hear him. Director Duan had treated his subordinates very well, especially towards Wang Yue. It could be said that he had always been obedient, but right now, his attitude was hard to fathom.
Some people felt that Wang Yue was about to lose her favour.
Indeed, facing the city council, and even when the provincial council had less than a week to solve the case, there were still some incidents where police officers were injured. If word of this got out, it would definitely cause a huge commotion, and people would be afraid.
Unfortunately, no one knew that Duan Fei was not worried about his future, but the future of Dragon City.
He seemed to clearly understand the power of monsters, so preventing Wang Yue from moving alone was actually a form of protection for her. He was worried about the chain reaction of monsters that appeared after people said that they were terrifying, but worried about whether or not there were more terrifying things that appeared.
"I hope there's still hope."
Duan Fei did not speak for a long time, and turned to leave.
After Wang Yue returned home, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart. Especially when she saw that his subordinate was injured, and that the arm was shattered right in front of her eyes while she herself was powerless, she almost died under the hands of the monster. She clenched her fists tightly and swore that she would take revenge and capture the monster.
Wang Yue's father immediately knew about her daughter's situation and called to comfort her. Wang Yue dealt with the matter for a while, then made an excuse to rest and hung up the phone.
"If I don't catch the monsters, it might cause more casualties for ordinary people. No, even if I were to be suspended, I can't just sit by and watch the monsters get off scot-free." Wang Yue could not sit still at home and started searching for traces of monsters outside.
The paper couldn't hold the fire.
The matter of the monster's appearance had still been uploaded to the internet, causing cries of alarm and fear.
Before, when the rate of criminal offenses in the Dragon City had soared, the citizens had not directly experienced it and were still in the dark. The battles in Mountain Meng were limited to the martial arts world, but the appearance of monsters, especially the spreading of rumors, made the news in the news media want to spread the news on the monsters overnight and get their eyes.
All of a sudden, countless monster reports appeared in the Dragon City's internet media.
After the Dragon City Municipal Government was made known, the secretary of the city council, Yang Guoyong was furious. A series of documents were issued from the Propaganda Department, many of the media outlets had been rewritten, and the official media reports were suppressed, but the news had spread very quickly on the forum, and the actions of the government just so happened to confirm the authenticity of the news. Experts deny that the opposite is true.
Wang Yue came to the alley that was sealed up by the police and checked for clues. The wound on the monster's chest was not light, it definitely would not run far. She seemed to understand the personality of monsters very well. They were arrogant, domineering, bloodthirsty and cruel, looking down on everyone else. Man is his food.
Drip.
Wang Yue walked in the alley and searched diligently.
Ah!
A blood-curdling screech sounded.
Wang Yue's mind shook, and quickly rushed towards the source of the scream. The sound came from the Heaven and Earth building that was not far from the alley. This was the back of the pedestrian walkway. Normally, very few people would come here, only a few local houses.
Charging into the Heaven and Earth Pavilion, Wang Yue became more alert, and observed her surroundings.
No movement, no blood.
Weird, why isn't there that bloody aura?
"Ha ha!"
Laughter came from the room on the second floor. Wang Yue stopped and looked up. It turned out that the voice was real. However, it was not a monster's attack. Rather, it was a group of young people joking around with the monster.
In the room, a thin and weak boy was curled up in a corner, looking at the scene in front of him with shock. A slightly older boy, wearing the clothes of a monster, had actually obtained something very similar to a monster, and was holding a monster's head and hat with a face full of ridicule.
"Coward, there are no monsters in this world. I think you should go home and drink some milk."
A group of people surrounded the little boy and roared with laughter.
The little boy was scared and cowered, but he still stubbornly said, "I have indeed seen monsters passing by my house."
"Idiot, do you think we will believe you?"
The group of companions were disdainful as they all accused the boy of being a coward. They probably felt that they had no interest in bullying him for a long time, so they all dispersed. The little boy still persisted in seeing monsters, but no one believed him.
When the children left, the little boy got up and muttered, "I've really seen monsters before."
Wang Yue shook her head and prepared to leave.
Buzz.
Suddenly, the sound of a monster came out from the room. Wang Yue's body trembled, her delicate body could not help but tremble, and thought to herself, What a familiar voice, could it be... She approached the door of the room and looked inside.
Wang Yue saw an unforgettable scene.
There were two corpses lying on the ground. Judging from the clothes, it was a man and a woman. Their corpses were incomplete, and their heads had been eaten, leaving only their torso.
The little boy stared blankly at the corpse on the ground. He was so scared that he lost consciousness. He stood on the ground, waiting for the monster to swallow him.
The monster revealed a cruel look and let out a jeering laugh.
"Come, come to me."
The monster began to tempt him.
The little boy walked towards the monster step by step, passing by his parents' corpses. He was about to die at the hands of the monster. The monster stretched out its long tentacles and approached the boy's head. Its arms were wide open, revealing a bloody mouth and a bloody head with a pair of dead fish eyes. It was the little boy's father.
"Father."
The little boy wailed loudly.
The monster showed no mercy and was about to devour the boy.
Wang Yue looked like she was about to die, she could not care anymore as she roared: "Stop, stop right now!"
It looked extremely disgusting. The monster was not surprised by Wang Yue's appearance, and said indifferently: "I let you escape last time, yet you still came here to throw away your life."
"Let him go!"
Wang Yue glared, wanting to rush forward to save her. The monster laughed and grabbed the little boy's head, hanging him in the air. It didn't make a move, but instead said to Wang Yue with its pale white face, "If you obediently let me eat him, I'll let him go."
Wang Yue's heart was thumping hard.
"You have no choice."
The monster threatened, "Sacrifice yourself and save others. If you, humans, are unwilling to even sacrifice yourself, how are you going to save others? "
Wang Yue's face was pale white, her instincts told her that even if she promised the monster, the little boy wouldn't live, but if she didn't, the little boy would definitely die. In the face of a life and death decision, Wang Yue clenched her teeth, and said without hesitation. "If you let him leave first, I won't resist."
Monster harrumphed, "You don't have the right to negotiate with me. If not for the fact that I'm afraid of trouble, I would have swallowed you up long ago."
The little boy cried and called for his father.
Wang Yue sighed, knowing that she had no other choice, and said: "I hope that you can keep your promise." She closed her eyes and waited for death to come.
The expression on the monster's face could not be seen, but the smell of blood permeated the air.
The two hands suddenly pierced out from the darkness, wanting to pierce through Wang Yue's body.
Boom!
A beam of light fell straight down from the highest floor of the Heaven and Earth Tower, penetrating through the layers of the floor. In that moment of life and death, it pierced through the heart of the monster.1
The monster let out a tragic howl, revealing a terrified expression as it tried to escape. A single beam of light could hurt its essence, so how could it not be afraid? He didn't even have any thoughts of resisting and only wanted to leave this damned place.
But the light was like a dark nemesis.
