Is He Really The Protagonist?

After walking across the covered bridge over the Tao River, Tang Yubing took out a tissue from her bag and wiped away the tears on her face.

He didn't leave in a hurry and sat sideways on the fence. From this angle, he could see the figure of the boy who left traces in his heart.

The boy still stood there, looking up at the night sky, his figure looking a little lonely.

Tang Yubing sat for a while, then stood up and left: "Goodbye, Master."

To get back to your residence from here, you have to pass through a park by the Taojiang River. There are often people cooling off here on summer nights, but the cold weather in January, coupled with the strong winds near the river, means that there are very few people here at night. few.

Tang Yubing passed by the path in the park, and the dim light shone on her body, feeling no warmth at all.

"clatter-"

The sound behind her made Tang Yubing stop and turn her head to take a look. There was nothing but the path she had walked. The darkness beyond the light was like an ancient ferocious beast, staring at her silently.

She felt a little panicked, but she remained calm on the outside and started walking again.

"Da da-"

The sound became clearer, like the sound of some kind of leather shoes stepping on the stone floor. For a moment, Tang Yubing remembered the various criminal cases he had seen.

He kept telling himself not to panic, but his feet involuntarily quickened the pace.

"Da da da-"

The sound came closer, accompanied by the gasping sound of some kind of animal. Tang Yubing's eyes filled with panic and he couldn't help but turn his head.

Xiao Bosheng stood by the river for a while, watching Tang Yubing leave from the covered bridge.

Only then did he remember that there were not many people on the streets in the county tonight, and he should send her back. After thinking about it, he followed.

"ah-!"

After crossing the covered bridge and before entering the park, Xiao Bosheng heard a scream, it was Tang Yubing. At the moment, he didn't care whether he would be discovered by her, and immediately rushed forward.

After running a few steps, he saw the situation clearly from the gap between the trees.

Behind Tang Yubing, a canine over one meter tall was chasing her. The bone spurs protruding from its neck were like a protective collar, and there were some blood stains on the dense white bones.

Tang Yubing was running in front, and the dog-like spirit beast was slowly chasing behind her, seemingly teasing the defenseless prey.

Fortunately, an unqualified passerby threw a crushed can on the road. The frightened Tang Yubing didn't notice it, so she stepped on it, slipped, and fell to the ground.

Although she reacted quickly and put her bag in front of her, and she was not injured due to the fall, she didn't have to think about what would happen if she fell while being chased.

Turning around in despair, the ferocious-looking giant dog had jumped up and rushed towards her.

Sharp bone spurs and terrifying fangs were reflected in Tang Yubing's left eye, while what was reflected in her right eye was a man wearing a mask, flying at low altitude.

The moment before the giant dog bit Tang Yubing, Xiao Bosheng used the speed brought by multiple spiritual energy explosions to rush closer and kicked the giant dog away with a volley.

He rolled forward on the ground and then stood up. The fragments of the stars gathered in his hand to form a complete blade. He took a step forward and cut the first-order spirit beast into two equal parts just as it stabilized its body.

He casually waved the stars to shake off the animal blood stuck to the blade. The blade turned into starlight and merged into his body. Xiao Bosheng turned around.

Tang Yubing was still slumped on the ground, with the fear on her face not dissipating. When she saw Xiao Bosheng wearing a mask looking at her, she couldn't help but tremble and subconsciously shrank back.

Xiao Bosheng touched his face with his hands, and finally resisted the idea of ​​taking off his mask.

If he really wanted to have a showdown with her and let her know what he was doing, why did he put on the mask subconsciously just now.

Seeing Tang Yubing's fearful expression just now, Xiao Bosheng shook his head and gave up the last thought. He took out a capsule from his pocket, poured spiritual energy into it, then pressed both ends and threw the capsule out.

The capsule that flew out drew an arc in the air, and then burst out with a strong white light. Tang Yubing couldn't help but lose consciousness when it was illuminated by the white light.

When she came back to her senses, Xiao Bosheng and the spirit beast corpses on the ground had disappeared, along with the blood stains on the ground. The park returned to its original appearance, and no one knew what happened here.

Tang Yubing stood up and looked at the scratch marks on the handbag with some confusion: "Why did I fall?"

Without thinking for long, Tang Yubing turned around and left, returning to the work dormitory without incident. Watching her walk past the railing at the door, Xiao Bosheng turned around and left in the dark.

Forgetting: Designed by the R&D department in conjunction with modern technology, it infuses spiritual energy into it when used, relying on the spiritual array to stimulate the "forgetfulness" of the spiritual patterns burned in it, selectively making the target forget the memory of the recent period, and is ineffective against spiritualists.

Note: Forgetting does not mean erasing.

Returning to the edge of Taojiang River and climbing over the guardrail, Xiao Bosheng pressed his hand on the spirit beast's corpse, and the spiritual energy seeped into the spirit beast's corpse from his fingers.

After closing his eyes and feeling it for a while, Xiao Posheng took back his hand and murmured to himself: "The first level was born less than a day ago, and I didn't find any spiritual beasts appearing last time I came here."

After thinking for a moment, he took out his gloves and put them on.

"Lingyun, connect to the Yuling database and check if there are any registered spiritualists in the county who are Yuling?"

"No. According to the database information, there are no dedicated garrison personnel in areas with a population of less than 500,000. Such areas have thin spiritual energy, and it takes several years to accumulate spiritual beasts, so only regular inspections are done. According to the rules, newly born spirits in the county The probability of beasts will peak next year.

Xingchen, I suggest you stay and observe for a few days to prevent new spiritual beasts from appearing and causing losses. "

"Okay, tell the boss about the situation here. I'll go back in a few days."

"Received, message sent."

In the next two days, Xiao Bosheng set out from the hotel in the morning. After eating, he took a bag of bread and water and climbed to the viewing platform at the top of Tianlong Mountain.

Sitting on the railing, looking at the county town at the foot of the mountain, the aura of the city was reflected in his starry eyes, and the aura around him was unconsciously condensed and dispersed in his hands.

Eat some bread when you are hungry, drink some water when you are thirsty. After the sun goes down, we go back to the hotel to rest.

After staying for two days, nothing unusual was found. On the third day, Xiao Bosheng got up in the morning and saw the news about Yun Fangche while eating.

Shui Huoyun: "Xiao Zi, the first team was captured by that group of people. We plan to rescue them. When will you come back?"

The news came at 5:30 in the morning. I quickly finished the fried rice noodles in my hands, returned to the hotel to check out, then scanned for a shared electric car and drove towards the station.

"Lingyun, make a document about the situation in the county and send it to the team responsible for investigation in Star City. Then help me buy the bus and air tickets back and choose the fastest flight."

"Okay Xingchen, the documents have been sent and the tickets have been purchased. We are expected to leave Jiangcheng Airport at 4:15 pm."

Xingchen: "Boss, I can arrive at the office around five o'clock in the afternoon."

Shui Huoyun: "(Okay)"

Shui Huoyun: "We haven't been able to determine the location yet, so don't worry."

Xingchen: "Okay, wait until I come back."

It turns out that the more you want to get something done or go somewhere quickly, fate will play a little trick on you.

Because of a car accident ahead, the bus was stuck on the highway for an hour. After having no choice but to change the ticket, the plane was delayed another two hours. By the time Xiao Bosheng got off the plane, it was already night in Jiangcheng.

Xiao Bosheng went straight to the parking lot, took out his gloves from his bag and put them on. Lingyun's emotionless voice sounded in his mind: "Xingchen, I suggest you rush directly to the shelter."

As he got on the motorcycle, Xiao Posheng's heart skipped a beat: "Why?"

"Si Miaomiao sent you a message two hours ago. The rescue operation was successful, but Song Leng was poisoned, Yun Lan was mentally traumatized, and Yun Fangche was seriously injured. Everyone is currently receiving treatment in the shelter."
