Chapter 80: Have you eaten fish?

Views:

Chen Yang was recording the population of the town in a small notebook, crossing out the names of widows and orphans. Suddenly he heard Teacher Xie shouting, and he was so startled that the pen in his hand shook and punctured the paper.

In Chen Yang's impression, Teacher Xie has always been a steady person and has never been so panicked.

As soon as Chen Yang opened the door, Teacher Xie staggered in, the cardboard was wet and rotten from his grip: "Cat, cat... It's a cat..."

"Cat, human, cat..." Teacher Xie spoke incoherently. The big blister caused by the inflammation had burst somehow, and the pus that flowed out stuck to his trembling mouth.

Chen Yang picked up the tissue on the table and gave it to him: "Take your time first."

Teacher Xie took the tissue in a daze. He did not wipe the pus-filled blister, but just pinched it between his fingers. He was still not conscious.

Chen Yang asked, "Why are you the only one here? Where's Old Wu?"

Teacher Xie's body shivered suddenly, and the tissue and cardboard box in his hand fell to the ground.

A guess suddenly popped up in Chen Yang's mind: Old Wu, cat

The cat turned into Old Wu.

Teacher Xie told Chen Yang this after he calmed down a little. He was used to making summaries without going into too many details.

Chen Yang's guess was confirmed. His mouth was dry. "Is the cat still in the room?"

"It ran out of the window." Teacher Xie slumped in his chair, his clothes soaked with sweat. "Cats like to be clean, no wonder there is no smell in the room."

"Cats are very clean." Teacher Xie repeated in a low voice.

There were curses outside, and Xiangdong pushed the door open with his bare chest. He was halfway through his shower and came in hurriedly to finish. His pants were not even put on properly, and the waistband was a little crooked, hanging loosely on his hips.

Xiangdong's hair was dripping with water. He walked to the chair and looked down at Teacher Xie, whose eyes were distracted. He turned to look at Chen Yang and Chao Jian in front of the bed and asked, "Is someone dead?"

"What? Dead, someone's dead?!" Qian Han at the door was trembling with fear.

A minute or two later, except for Old Wu, Xiang Zimu, Miss Qiao, and Ge Fei, everyone else came to Chen Yang.

In the room filled with a strong masculine scent, a gay who didn't look like a gay showed his flesh. He had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long legs, and water marks on his streamlined muscles. There were some scars on his body that were full of the smell of iron and blood killing. He looked both manly and sexy. The girl with big eyes covered her eyes embarrassedly, but after learning about what happened to Teacher Xie, she stopped covering her eyes immediately.

Shyness and all that, is trampled to pieces by fear.

"How can a cat turn into a human?" The big-eyed girl grabbed Zhuzhu's shoulder, "Could it be a cat demon?"

Everyone: “…”

"No, no, it's not a demon." The big-eyed girl widened her eyes. "I know now. In fact, the evil spirit in the background of this mission is not a human, but a cat!"

The big-eyed girl's mind became active, like a wild horse with prolapsed anus: "A long time ago, there were two cats in this town who fell in love. The owners of the two families had a grudge and did not allow them to be together, so they forcibly separated them and abused them. It is very likely that the female cat was pregnant at the time and died in the womb due to abortion..."

Zhuzhu put a lollipop into her mouth.

Chen Yang glanced at the big-eyed girl and thought of Zhao Yuan. Both of them had propellers in their minds.

"Teacher Xie, what form does Old Wu take?" Chen Yang asked.

Teacher Xie said: "There are cat forms and there are human forms."

Xiang Dong, who was leaning on the bed, asked: "Half human, half cat?"

Teacher Xie waved his hand: "It's not like that."

"The pupils are vertical, and there are cat-like movements." Teacher Xie was not in a good mood. "It ran away. I don't know how it will change. It may become a human again and walk around the town, or it may become a cat again."

"You said it was a cat that turned into a human."

A cold voice suddenly sounded in the room.

Chen Yang looked at his partner who had never participated in the group exchange meeting and heard him say: "Then why can't it be that the person turned into a cat?"

There was a sudden silence all around.

Teacher Xie suddenly stood up from his chair: "Ge Fei!"

The girl with big eyes was frightened by his reaction. She clung to Zhuzhu's back and trembled: "What happened to Ge Fei? Does he have anything to do with this?"

"Ge Fei said that Old Wu would be back later. If he helped Old Wu, then Old Wu would still be alive." Teacher Xie said excitedly, "This means that the thing in my room was not a human who turned into a cat, but a cat who turned into a human. It can turn into any one of us and mix in to harm us!"

Xiangdong snorted and laughed: "That's not necessarily true."

Teacher Xie's IQ didn't seem to have returned to average. "What do you mean?"

Zhuzhu explained to Teacher Xie: "First, Ge Fei may not have really met Old Wu. Second, the person he met may not be Old Wu."

"Where's Ge Fei?" Qian Han, who had just come in, suddenly asked, "I didn't see him enter the room. Is he back?"

Teacher Xie's face turned several shades paler: "Ge Fei is a ghost?"

"Why are you all here..."

A young voice suddenly sounded outside the door, with doubt in its voice.

Ge Fei pushed open the door that was not closed properly and walked in. Qian Han stepped back: "Where have you been?"

"I went to the toilet. I went right after I came back." Ge Fei scratched his head. "I had diarrhea after drinking cold water. I've had diarrhea six or seven times a day. You know that, right?"

Qian Han was in a trance for a moment: "Yes, you told me."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Ge Fei asked in confusion: "What's going on?"

As soon as he came in, there was a smell in the room. It was obvious that he had come back from the bathroom. He didn't look very well, which was consistent with the characteristics of having diarrhea. He was not lying.

"Turns out it was a misunderstanding." The big-eyed girl muttered.

The atmosphere is much better.

Teacher Xie also seemed to have recovered a lot. He asked Ge Fei: "Where did you meet Old Wu?"

Ge Fei said: "Zhennan."

Teacher Xie asked again: "What did he tell you?"

"Let me tell you that he will be back later," Ge Fei said, "so you can leave the door open."

Teacher Xie picked up the cardboard on the ground and said, "He didn't say where he was going?"

"No." A trace of thought and recollection appeared on Ge Fei's face, "But his eyes were fixed on the window of a house."

As Ge Fei finished speaking, the room fell into silence.

Ge Fei asked: "What happened?"

"Which place in Zhennan? Tell me more specifically." Chen Yang changed the subject and said, "Take us there."

Others have no objection.

Chen Yang folded his backpack and put it on his back. He waited for Chao Jian to put on his shoes, then handed him the two crutches and peeled a few milk slices for him.

Xiangdong and others were standing outside the door.

"If my brother were half as good as Mr. Chen, I would wake up laughing in my dreams." Qian Han said enviously.

"At least you have a brother. I'm the eldest. Did I say anything?" The big-eyed girl pouted, "Zhuzhu, what about you?"

"I have brothers and sisters," Zhuzhu said, "I am the youngest."

"Wow, I thought you were an only child." The big-eyed girl whispered in her ear.

"Damn, this is so boring." Xiangdong turned his head to the painter while lighting a cigarette. "Will you come to the second floor of the inn with me late at night?"

"Okay." The painter moved away from him.

"What the hell, I just finished taking a shower." Xiangdong put the lid of the lighter back on and knocked the body of the lighter against the door frame. "You two in there, are you ready? If you keep going like this, it will be dawn soon."

Chen Yang and Chao Jian walked out of the room together. He closed the door and locked it.

"The moonlight was quite nice earlier, and I thought tomorrow would be a good day, but now it's all cloudy."

Chen Yang looked up at the night sky. As he put the key in his pocket, he suddenly said, "Teacher Xie, I want to go to your room to take a look."

"Sure." said Teacher Xie.

Teacher Xie and Old Wu lived in the innermost room. He said as he walked, "Luckily I didn't lock the door, otherwise I would have to ask the landlady for a spare key."

"Come in." Teacher Xie opened the door and walked in.

As soon as Chen Yang stepped over the threshold, his body stopped.

“What…” The big-eyed girl at the back poked her head out. She saw something and screamed in fear, hiding behind Zhuzhu.

Zhuzhu took one look and clenched her phone tightly.

"What are you all doing blocking the door?" Xiangdong pushed the two girls aside and stopped behind Chen Yang. He saw the situation inside and the cigarette in his mouth shook.

After chatting for a while in Chen Yang's room, Teacher Xie, who opened the door for them, lay on the ground with bloodshot eyes.

The eyes are gone.

Chen Yang, Chao Jian and Xiang Dong were in the room, and the others were at the door.

"He was attacked by a ghost when he came in just now. How come there is no movement at all?" Ge Fei's face turned pale.

"Can't you see it now?" Xiangdong squatted in front of the corpse and looked closely at the bloody eye sockets. "He was dead before he came in."

"Then what we saw..." Ge Fei's face turned even paler, "We were with ghosts?"

No one answered him.

Chen Yang said to Chao Jian: "The eyes were gouged out."

Chao Jian bit the milk slice between his teeth and asked, "What about the surroundings? Have you observed them?"

Chen Yang nodded: "There is no blood at all."

"Why are you digging out my eyes?" Xiangdong inserted forcefully.

"Thanks... What the ghost said was wrong. Either a cat turned into a human to mix among us, or a human turned into a cat. It was a human who turned into a cat." The big-eyed girl discovered something. She pointed at the eyes of the corpse and said tremblingly, "Old Wu, Old Wu, I don't know why he turned into a cat, but he still likes to eat that! He likes to eat it!"

Zhuzhu scratched the phone case with her fingertips: "But what Old Wu likes to eat is fish eyes, not human ones."

"Maybe in his eyes when he turns into a cat, we are just fish." Chen Yang expressed a curious and weird idea.

“… … ”

At around seven o'clock in the evening, Chen Yang and his group of eight left the inn and headed towards the south of the town. After walking for a while, they saw a white lantern hanging in front of a house.

Something floated over and tried to stick to Chen Yang's face, but was pushed away by the crutch.

It was a piece of yellow paper money.

It was sprinkled during the funeral.

"There's a funeral going on late at night?" The girl with big eyes was very scared. Her psychological defenses were almost at their limit.

"It must have been spilled during the day." Qian Han rubbed his fingers together, "I encountered several funerals during the day."

More yellow things floated closer, one piece, two pieces, and more and more.

It's all paper money.

They circled around the feet of Chen Yang and the other eight people, passed by, and flew in one direction.

Chen Yang followed the paper money and found that it was the direction of the river under the waterfall. He subconsciously wanted to chase it, but a hand grabbed him.

"Why are you running around?" Chao Jian frowned.

Chen Yang stopped running and his mind returned to normal.

There were eight people, and seven of them turned on the flashlights on their cell phones, illuminating the surroundings, but it was still creepy.

"Please go away quickly, I can't take it anymore." The big-eyed girl sobbed pleadingly.

Chen Yang asked Ge Fei to continue leading the way, and he pulled Chao Jian to walk at the end.

Chao Jian used his cane to stop Chen Yang from moving forward, lowered his head and leaned towards him: "Don't trust anyone except me."

Chen Yang was stunned: "Did you discover a new rule?"

"Snap"

Chao Jian raised one arm and pressed his palm on Chen Yang's face without much force.

Chen Yang was confused: "What?"

"Mosquito." Chao Jian's palm slid down along the lines of his face and spread his palm in front of him.

Chen Yang raised his cell phone and took a picture, and saw a dead mosquito.

"Your eyesight is really good. You can see this," Chen Yang pulled his attention back from running away, "Ignore the mosquitoes, let's continue with the one in front..."

Xiangdong's roar interrupted Chen Yang, urging them to leave quickly.

Chen Yang took a step forward to catch up with the large group, thinking about his partner's words in his heart: "We have always been together, and we were only separated in the illusion. At that time, I knew it was fake as soon as I heard the crutches. If a ghost wanted to pretend to be you to deceive me, it would be almost impossible."

The second half of the sentence contains a sense of complete unconsciousness and complacency, as if showing off or asking for a reward.

"I am your partner. When the ghost used my face to confuse you, you did not fall for it. It is a basic skill to easily distinguish the real from the fake," Chao Jian glared at him, "Is this something you should be proud of?"

Chen Yang: “…”

He asked curiously, "If that ghost disguised himself as me, would you be able to tell it quickly?"

Chao Jian: “No.”

Chen Yang was just about to take this opportunity to mock him when he heard him say another sentence.

"I don't need to look." Chao Jian said.

Without looking, how can we tell? Chen Yang was stunned for a moment and then followed Chao Jian.

Chao Jian walked forward with crutches, his eyes drooping, his tone a little irritable: "You are only afraid of ghosts, not people. This is neither good nor bad."

Chen Yang put down the foot he had raised. Did that mean he had to be on guard against others

Who to guard against

Chen looked up at the figures not far ahead; it was dim and he couldn't see clearly.

The wind is very strong tonight, there is not a trace of coolness, it is hot and stuffy, and there are a lot of mosquitoes. People with fast metabolism are bitten all over the head.

The girl with big eyes put down her sleeves and scratched through her clothes. Both of her arms were scratched, but she could not feel any pain. Her senses were filled with panic and anxiety.

"Why haven't you arrived yet?" asked the girl with big eyes, grabbing her arm.

"It's almost there. It's right over there." Ge Fei raised his cell phone and shook it. The door of a house appeared and disappeared in the light.

As they passed by, they heard a "click... click..." sound coming from inside.

That was the sound of wood chips flying and pieces of wood being sawed off.

After four fish tides, the number of deaths in the town increased each time. The stored coffins were used up quickly, and the carpenters had to rush to work.

When the carpenters died, there was no one to make coffins anymore.

At that time, the body could not be placed in a coffin and buried, so it could only be buried somewhere randomly.

After the next fishing tide ends, there may be no one left to bury the bodies.

"Meow~"

Suddenly, a cat's meow was heard from the eaves next to us.

Chen Yang and the other seven all stopped.

The cat looked down from the eaves, as if looking down at them from above.

The eyes are blue, glowing and bright.

The cat meowed once and then stopped, but didn't leave. It just stood on the eaves.

It gave people the illusion that it was observing Chen Yang and the other seven people.

"Is it... Brother Wu?" The big-eyed girl suppressed her scream.

Along with the big-eyed girl's words, there was a loud "bang".

A medium-sized stone flew through the sultry air current and hit the cat on the eaves.

The cat jumped away nimbly, and the stone hit the eaves and bounced onto the ground in the dark.

The stone thrown by Ge Fei.

Chen Yang looked at him: "Are you afraid of cats?"

"It's okay," Ge Fei said, still holding a few small stones in his hand, "I was just scratched by a cat when I was a child, and I don't like it anymore."

Qian Han said: "You are so brave. I am also afraid of cats, but I don't dare to hit them. I am afraid of angering them and getting caught by them, so I always stay away from them."

Ge Fei pressed his shoulder.

The girl with big eyes was very concerned about the cat's identity: "Mr. Chen, that cat..."

Chen Yang withdrew his eyes from Ge Fei and continued walking with Chao Jian: "It's just an ordinary wild cat."

"How could an ordinary wild cat be so weird?" The girl with big eyes didn't believe it.

Zhu Zhu believed what Chen Yang said: "The cats in this town don't catch mice or eat fish. What's so strange about that?"

"That's right." The girl with big eyes took a few steps and couldn't help but ask a question in her heart, "Mr. Chen, how did you find out that Teacher Xie was a ghost?"

Chen Yang said: "I didn't find it. I just thought of that possibility when I was locking the door, so I tried it to be safe."

It turns out that no subtle feeling can be missed.

Chen Yang pulled Chao Jian to slow down, and the two of them unknowingly returned to the end of the team. He whispered, "Were you aware of this at the time?"

Chao Jian's cane hit the road loudly: "What do you know?"

Chen Yang said: "I know that Teacher Xie is a ghost."

Chao Jian didn't even glance at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang walked in front of Chao Jian, walked backwards, and locked his eyes with an inquiring look.

The crutches stopped, and as if Chao Jian was an eyesore, he stretched out his hand and pulled Chen Yang in front of him to his side: "I don't understand irrelevant people."

Chen Yang touched his nose: "I didn't expect Teacher Xie to die like this. This is his second mission, and his ability to handle things is not bad."

"This is an atypical escape room. Both strength and luck are indispensable." Chao Jian's breath was mixed with the smell of milk and medicine. "He has passed both."

Chen Yang sighed: "My skills are a little bit worse."

If you can't defeat a ghost, you can only run away, but monsters that are neither human nor ghost can be dealt with by force.

"Carry me."

Chen Yang's thoughts were scattered by these two words. He looked at the boy who often asked him to carry him on his back in this world and asked, "Your crutches don't work anymore?"

"Are you using yourself to train me?" Chen Yang thought of the second funny possibility.

Chao Jian lay on Chen Yang's back without saying a word.

She lay down so naturally.

There was no trace of the initial tension and awkwardness. The current him and the original him were like two different people.

Xiangdong, who was in front, was smoking a cigarette and cursing: "You are such a grown-up, how dare you do that! If I were him, I would crawl even if I wanted to, and I would never let Chen Baicai carry me!"

The painter was merciless: "He won't cheat, don't worry."

Xiangdong's face suddenly turned pale, but his tone was very gentle: "Old Diamond Prince, try to say it again to me."

The painter was afraid that Xiangdong would touch him, which would waste the disinfectant spray, so he slowly changed his words and said, "I'm tired of walking with crutches."

"It's so funny." Xiangdong sneered in disdain, "You just act like a spoiled brat and ask for love. You're the world's number one green tea bitch."

The painter raised his eyebrows: "Green tea? That's also Chen Yang's exclusive green tea."

Xiangdong: “…”

What can I say to this poor bastard who has nothing but money and diamonds and can't even sleep? !

Ge Fei led everyone to the south of the town, went around to the back of a house, and pointed: "That's the window that Old Wu is staring at."

Xiangdong twitched his nose and said, "The people inside are doing this."

He made a circle with his left hand and poked it with the index finger of his right hand, over and over again.

The two little girls understood, but Qian Han blinked his big, innocent eyes and asked, "What is that?"

Chen Yang stopped the driver and kicked him: "Don't drive the ghost car."

Xiangdong bared his teeth: "Didn't you see the child's eyes full of curiosity?"

Chen Yang's mouth twitched. Just as he was about to approach the window, two voices came from inside, one was a man's low growl, and the other was a satisfied moan.

Qian Han listened to the voice and seemed to understand Xiangdong's gesture. He immediately blushed from his face to his neck.

In the room, there were the weak and heavy breathing of a man who had been drained of energy, as well as the laughter of a woman, followed by the sound of doors opening and closing. After a while, Miss Qiao came to the back of the house and met the people near the window.

"Listen to the live broadcast?"

Chen Yang said: "Miss Qiao, Old Wu was murdered."

Ms. Qiao gathered up her messy wavy hair and asked, "Does this have anything to do with you listening to the live broadcast?"

"Yes." The girl with big eyes smelled the scent of sandalwood on the elder sister. She admired her from the bottom of her heart. She didn't sleep with the task performers, but slept with the NPCs at the task site. She didn't know how many she slept with in three days.

"Brother Wu was staring at this window before the accident. He must have come to see you!" The big-eyed girl argued.

Miss Qiao walked over and raised her chin: "Little sister, don't be so sure, I didn't see him."

The big-eyed girl blushed, and she forced herself to remain calm: "You said there was no, but Ge Fei saw it all."

Ge Fei pointed to the window and said, "He is indeed staring there."

"That's why he followed me here, wanting to listen to the live broadcast like you guys." Miss Qiao flicked the non-existent dust off her coat and suddenly said, "It's not torn."

Seeing everyone looking at her, Miss Qiao smiled and said, "When I was feeling comfortable, I felt something scratching my clothes, like a cat. I thought my clothes were torn."

Ge Fei's fingertips holding the small stone moved nervously.

This was noticed by Chen Yang who was observing secretly. He thought without changing his expression that there was something wrong with Ge Fei.

"Ms. Qiao, Old Wu has turned into a cat." Chen Yang said to Miss Qiao.

Miss Qiao stretched out her voice lazily: "Oh... Even if you become a cat, you still want my body."

Chen Yang's eyes twitched slightly. This woman was really not afraid. She didn't care even if there were no monsters watching the battle.

Most people don't dare to hunt in the mission world and enjoy the indulgence.

Chen Yang had seen this kind of fearlessness and self-willedness in literary youth.

It's not the same cause, but they are similar in nature.

Chen Yang remembered that Chao Jian told her that Miss Qiao was an old hand and was better than him, so he was eager to try, which was a bit inappropriate.

He wanted to know how much better this woman was than he was.

Chen Yang stared at the woman for a longer time unconsciously. His calf was hit by the crutch and he came back to his senses: "Ms. Qiao, have you seen your roommate?"

Miss Qiao shook her head: "Ms. Xiang must be looking for inspiration."

Chen Yang suspected that he was hallucinating: "Looking for inspiration?"

"Yes." Miss Qiao sighed softly, "She is working on the music score, writing a little bit every day, she is very good."

Chen Yang: “…”

"A music maniac? He doesn't look like one." The big-eyed girl said in disbelief.

"She's a very mysterious sister, and she always smells good." Qian Han said in a low voice, and then asked, "Did Old Wu turn into a cat because he ate fish eyes?"

"It's possible. Maybe it's true." The girl with big eyes said, "He ate it. None of us ate it."

Miss Qiao said in surprise: "Eating fish eyes will turn you into a cat? I ate it too, so why didn't I change?"

Qian Han and Big Eyed Girl: "..."

"That must be because you didn't eat enough." The big-eyed girl said firmly, "Brother Wu eats it spoonful by spoonful, and he's still looking for it in the pot, right Zhuzhu."

Zhuzhu hummed, "I think there's another reason why he turned into a cat."

The girl with big eyes was unhappy that Zhuzhu didn't stand with her, and she grumbled a few words.

It was quiet by the window.

The hot wind accompanied the mosquitoes, making the noise quite annoying.

None of the nine people left, nor did they communicate with each other, each immersed in his own world.

Chen Yang pointed at Chao Jian's crutch, his fingertips colliding with the metal, the rhythm was neither fast nor slow.

This mission includes townspeople, cats, mice, and fish.

Could it be related to the food chain

Chen Yang frowned. When he first heard that cats don't eat fish, he thought it was just because the animals were highly alert and knew something had happened to the fish population, so they didn't dare to eat it.

Cats don't catch mice because mice eat fish, so they are also taboo about it.

Now it seems that it is not that simple.

Old Wu’s accident seems to be a hint that contains a huge amount of information.

What role do cats play

"Is it possible that our names still appeared on the fish's back? We just didn't see it, but the people in the town did." Zhuzhu suddenly spoke up, "Was Brother Wu's fish caught and eaten?"

Chen Yang's fingers that were tapping on his cane suddenly stopped, and he glanced at Chao Jian out of the corner of his eye.

He glanced at Jane.

As if after a brief exchange, Chen Yang's suspicion became more solid. He looked at Ge Fei calmly: "Why did Old Wu ask you to pass on his message?"

"I just happened to meet him." said Ge Fei.

Just as Ge Fei finished speaking, the window of the house next door was suddenly pushed open by two hands from the inside. A big man poked his head out and shouted in shock: "What are you doing outside Lao Wang's window?"

The big man wanted to call his neighbor Lao Wang out, but he suddenly recognized Ge Fei and asked, "Why are you here again?"

Before Ge Fei could say anything, he was interrupted by the big man's unfriendly scolding: "I saw you sneaking around earlier, talking to the air alone, and looking towards the window of Old Wang's house..."

"Boom!"

Before the big man could finish his words, the small stone in Ge Fei's hand fell to the ground.

Many eyes were focused on him.

Ge Fei twisted the small stone with his foot: "I thought that when I returned to the inn, Old Wu also went back, but he took another road and returned before me, and then turned into a cat and harmed Teacher Xie."

He raised his bloodless face and pulled his stiff facial muscles: "So, what I encountered was a ghost?"

Xiangdong grabbed Ge Fei by the collar and dragged him away from the window to prevent the nearby townspeople from besieging them.

Even after they were far away, Xiangdong hadn't put Ge Fei down yet. He threw him beside the ditch and stepped on it: "Now it's time to talk, let's talk."

Ge Fei lay on his side on the ground, motionless.

"What are you doing?" The girl with big eyes was quite attracted to Ge Fei. His little canine teeth were so bright and cute.

Zhu Zhu said: "Brother Wu came to him for a reason."

"What's the reason?" The big-eyed girl's eyes widened a little.

“I caught the fish named after Lao Wu.”

Ge Fei on the ground and the girl with big eyes were talking at the same time.

Xiangdong made room for Chen Yang to come. He was a man who would rather take action than talk, and jobs like making small talk and having conversations were not suitable for him.

Chen Yang looked at Ge Fei, without much surprise in his eyes, he guessed it.

Ge Fei's mentality was collapsing bit by bit. When he learned that Old Wu, who asked him to take a message back, was a ghost, his mentality completely collapsed.

The flaws also surfaced.

Chen Yang squatted down on the spot, shining the flashlight beside Ge Fei, not into his eyes: "After catching the fish, what did you do?"

"It's so small." Ge Fei gestured with his hands, "About two or three centimeters. I hid it in my sleeve. After the fish tide was over, I carried the bucket to meet you. There were many people by the river. When you were not paying attention, I put it in the bucket. Halfway through, I took the fish away on the pretext of diarrhea."

Chen Yang didn't urge him, and no one else said anything.

After a long pause, Ge Fei curled up his hands and feet: "I want to do an experiment."

He held his head, his voice strained to the limit: "I forced the little fish into a cat's mouth."

Chen Yang spoke amidst a few gasps: "What was the cat's reaction?"

"He banged his head against the wall like crazy and died." said Ge Fei.
