The next morning

In front of the hotel.

It was peak time on the street, and looking around, there were couples walking hand in hand on the street, fairies shopping with parasols... and a vortex secretly following Chen Chen.

"No, will he ever stop?" Chen Chen was speechless and could not help but quicken his pace.

The story began this morning. As soon as Chen Chen opened his eyes, he saw a face approaching him. In a panic, he kicked that face... and ended up waking up Xuanwo.

Who would have thought that he was sleepwalking... He ran right in front of his face so early in the morning, it was really scary.

After I finished playing, he started to keep an eye on me. He followed me all morning, and then looked at me with a resentful look, as if he had been wronged.

Rose, who was right behind them, could no longer sit still, her gossip spirit burning fiercely.

"Captain, you don't care?" Qiangwei looked like a curious baby, "Aren't you curious about what happened between them? A single man and a single woman, living in the same room, tsk tsk tsk tsk..."

"Qianwei, be serious. Even if Chen Chen is a newcomer and we don't know him...Don't you know about Xuwo? He is definitely not a gay!" Wang Mian thought for a moment, then said affirmatively.

"What do you think Xiaochen looks like?" Yue Gui asked in a dim voice.

Rose was stunned for a moment, then she reacted, "Of course it's pure and clear... You mean, the vortex is 'attack'?"

Not far away, Chen Chen, whose mental power could basically detect an area of two kilometers, heard their conversation clearly and glanced at Qiangwei meaningfully.

Qiangwei looked at Chen Chen's 'hostile' eyes, and felt more and more that her judgment was correct. She leaned over to Yue Gui's ear and said with her head down:

"Look, Xiaochen is getting anxious! Doesn't it look like someone's tail has been stepped on?"

"I think it's possible." Yue Gui nodded in affirmation.

"..."

Either explode in silence or perish in silence. Chen Chen immediately stopped and turned to the vortex and said, "Is it not enough to say sorry?"

"Tsk~" Uzumaki gave him a meaningful look, "Do you know how much psychological damage your kick caused me?"

"Also, did you wash your feet last night?"

Chen Chen was stunned, and subconsciously said, "I seem to be too tired...I forgot to wash..."

"Could it be that he didn't blame himself for kicking him, but blamed himself for not washing his feet?" Chen Chen immediately thought of the key point.

If Qiangwei heard this, she would probably ask, "Is it okay after washing my feet?"

……

Xiaoshi Village.

A dirt path spans between two villages. On both sides of the hut are wooden or earthen houses. From time to time, there are old people sitting at the door chatting.

This is a very backward village, which is like two different worlds compared to the neon city in the distance. However, it is also very quiet, a good place to retire and live in seclusion.

An old man holding a music box was packing something in the room, and seemed to be planning to go out.

Just as the old man packed up and was about to leave, there was a knock on his door. The old man was puzzled for a moment, but he didn't think much about it. He just thought it was his old friends in the village, so he got up and opened the door.

The moment the door opens.

Wang Mian and others appeared in his field of vision. The old man was startled, but then he quickly hid his surprise and said to Wang Mian and others with an expressionless expression:

"How did you find your way to my house? And what exactly do you want to do?"

"We just want to talk to you." Wang Mian said as gently as possible.

"I have nothing to talk to you about... I'm going out, don't block my way!" The old man looked a little anxious.

Wang Mian and his men had no choice but to make way for him. They couldn’t illegally imprison an old man, could they?

The old man walked ahead by himself, while Wang Mian and others followed closely behind him, but they kept a distance of 20 meters from the old man, not for anything else, just to 'disgust the old man'...

The two groups of people were in a stalemate, and finally after several hours of trekking, they arrived at the lake swamp. The old man sighed and thought that if he didn't say anything today, they would probably not leave.

Then he looked at Wang Mian, "What exactly do you want to ask me?"

When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up. It seemed that their persistent tactics had worked. Wang Mian first opened his mouth and asked a slightly questioning question.

"Is it true that you are a biological expert?"

The old man thought for a moment and said directly: "Yes, I liked biology when I was young, so I majored in biology and eventually became a biology expert. Is there any problem?"

"Since you are a biological expert, do you know about 'genetic modification experiment'?" Chen Chen stared at the old man closely, afraid of missing any tiny change in the other party.

The moment the words "Genetic Modification Experiment" came out, the old man's body stiffened slightly. However, considering that he was nearly eighty years old, it seemed natural. The old man spoke calmly:

"'Genetic modification experiment'? I've never heard of it. Besides, in our biology field, the word genetic modification itself is a taboo, and no scholar would touch upon it."

Chen Chen couldn't help but fall into confusion, "Could it be that this old man is really not a researcher of the 28th generation of genetic modification experiments? Is my hunch wrong?"

Just as everyone was thinking about it.

"Then why do you always stay here in the middle of the night?" Uzumaki asked puzzledly.

"I'm here to pay tribute to my friend... When I was young, there were a few biologists who were close to me. After they died, their ashes were scattered in this lake. Now that I'm old, I always wanted to come and take a look."

As the old man spoke, his eyes were full of sincerity and nostalgia. One glance at his eyes showed how deep his feelings were, and everyone dispelled their suspicions about him.

So... the clues are broken again. Whether it's the missing criminals, the 'genetic modification experiment', or the mysterious appearance of the mythical beast, the mysteries are getting more and more confusing...

On the other side of the far swampy lake.

In the quiet forest, several men in black robes were lying on the ground, talking to each other.

"Now that those outsiders are still here, we..."

"Wait a minute, I don't believe they can stay for a whole day. Let's take action after they leave!"

"I think it's feasible. It's always better to be cautious."

"What if those outsiders don't leave?"

"..."

The forest suddenly became quiet again. The task given by that adult was to release the reagent into the swamp lake within today. If the task was not completed, death might be waiting for them.

If the mission fails... you will die!!

"What do we do now?"

Among the black-robed men, a rather wise man spoke up: "Wait! Let's wait until night. If the outsiders haven't left by then... our chances of success will be much greater if we take advantage of the night."

"Okay! That's it!"

Afterwards, several of them lay silently in the grass, motionless, like turtles.
