Ye Tingheng thought seriously, took a mouthful of noodles, and started searching on the screen again. Soon she found another monster attack incident on the search interface, which took place in western Yunnan Province.

Ye Tingheng clicked in to check it out, deliberately looking for text describing the monster's appearance and the blurry photos of the monster inside.

"Off-white? Light armor? Humanoid... with a beast's head and a human body? Seems to have a penchant for killing? Tsk—I feel like I've heard of it somewhere, or even seen it before."

Mumbling silently, Ye Tingheng held his forehead and began to try hard to recall his previous memories, but he could only get some fragmented fragments and had no clue at all.

"What a hassle! Looks like there's one more thing to deal with."

Ye Tingheng's mouth twitched, and she picked up a tissue to wipe her lips. In a short while, she finished the noodles. After taking a sip subconsciously, she began to tidy up the table and began to search for further information related to this monster.

Later, she discovered that more than ten related human attacks occurred overnight, and four of them even happened abroad.

Seeing this, Ye Tingheng suddenly had an ominous premonition. Could it be that this was the danger the system was referring to?

Could it be like in the novels, a mysterious resurrection or something? Then my fighting power is totally not enough!!!

Could it be that I can no longer convince others with my virtue, and must rely on my intelligence? Ah - what a hassle. If I had known earlier, I would not have accepted this final reward. That way, at least I would still be a man.

Ye Tingheng lay on the table, sighed slightly, and finally decided to go out and investigate it himself. After all, he still had to go out for exercise.

After putting on a mask and a sun hat, Ye Tingheng locked the door, pushed out the bicycle, stepped on it, and rode towards the street. Of course, this time she wore safety pants!

How could she fall twice in the same place? Unless she could have fallen on flat ground while walking!

……

Not long after, on a road, Ye Tingheng rode his bicycle slowly and leisurely on the sidewalk. The morning sun was not as glaring as at noon, nor as sad and desolate as in the evening.

Instead, it gently falls from the sky, passes through the gaps in the leaves and falls to the ground, flowing slowly with the breeze, still so quiet and peaceful, as if everything has not changed and remains the same.

But Ye Tingheng had no intention of appreciating the scenery. He rode on the road, constantly passing through the shadows under the trees, re-entering the sunlight, and then being shrouded in shadows again, and so on.

Ye Tingheng didn't stop until she arrived at the place where she had encountered the humanoid creature before. It was just under the shadow of a big tree, with many sparse spots of light on the ground.

Ye Tingheng turned his head slightly, glanced at the police officers who were conducting further investigations within the cordon, and then rode his bike towards the interior of Yiheng Street.

This place has been blocked by the police now. It is impossible for her to get in with her current identity, and she might even be suspected.

After all, as the first victim, she looked scared last night, but today she came to the crime scene as if nothing had happened. It's suspicious just to think about it.

What's more, relying solely on this victim scene, she couldn't find any valuable information. At most, she could collect some tissue samples of that type of human. But she wasn't a scientific researcher, so why would she need that?

If I go in, it can be said that the loss outweighs the gain. However, in this way, it seems that I will have no direction for investigation.

Ye Tingheng stroked her chin, thought for a while, and decided to go for a walk around. After all, another purpose of her coming out was to exercise.

Besides, isn't cycling also an aerobic exercise? It can also make you feel happy. Maybe inspiration will suddenly strike during the ride and remind you of something.

Thinking of this, Ye Tingheng couldn't help but quicken her pace and drove into the street. Of course, she didn't speed up very fast, otherwise she would not achieve the effect of aerobic exercise.

As time passed slowly, it was soon past eleven o'clock, and Ye Tingheng began to ride back. At this time, she had ridden a little far, and it would take about forty minutes to get home.

However, Ye Tingheng was not in a hurry. After all, it was the same at home or outside. He was alone anyway.

Just at this moment, an ambulance with its sirens blaring was coming towards Ye Tingheng——

"How is the injured person? Can he make it to the hospital?" A doctor was putting an oxygen cylinder on an unconscious person lying on a stretcher, and asked anxiously to another doctor who was adjusting the equipment nearby.

"It doesn't look good. The victim is already in his sixties or seventies, and this time he fell off a motorcycle and hit the back of his head."

"Generally speaking, it is very likely to cause skull fractures, brain contusions, or even intracerebral hematomas. No matter which one it is, the current situation is not optimistic."

The doctor answered, his pen never stopping, constantly recording and calculating data.

At the same time, the three nurses in the carriage were also there to clean the wounds of the injured and provide simple treatment, trying to extend the remaining time of the injured.

The doctor who had treated him previously was also doing his best to save him.

However, at this moment, the injured person who had fainted suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed the arm of the doctor next to him, and his whole body shook violently.

"What's wrong? What happened? Please stay calm, old man. Just hold on a little longer. We'll be at the hospital soon!"

The doctor didn't notice anything wrong and quickly tried to calm the injured person. The nurse also came forward to help, holding down the violently shaking limbs of the injured person, hoping to avoid aggravating the injury due to this action.

But what they didn't know was that when the injured person opened his eyes, they had already turned a lifeless gray.

Then a series of dark brown lines began to spread from the injured person's neck and covered his face.

The doctors and nurses around also noticed something was wrong and hurriedly let go of their hands and stepped back, trying to distance themselves from the injured person who was showing abnormal behavior.

Just as everyone was retreating in fear, a black pattern similar to that of a mantis's head suddenly appeared on the face of the injured person on the stretcher.

Immediately afterwards, amid the horrified shouts of everyone in the carriage, a humanoid creature with a grayish-white body, a dark golden abdomen, two whips similar to insect antennae on the back of its head, and two gray sickles on its arms, jumped down from the stretcher with a roar.

(Mantis Ophiuchi, picture)

He rushed towards the crowd not far away, who were already sweating with fear. He reached out and stabbed a doctor in the chest with a knife, and blood immediately splattered on the faces of the others...

At the same time, Ye Tingheng, who was resting on the street, also noticed something was wrong and immediately turned into the alley. The ambulance was twisting left and right on the road like a go-kart.

Soon, the ambulance lost control and crashed into a lamppost beside the road, denting the front of the car.

Immediately afterwards, in the surprised gazes of passers-by, a gray-white humanoid creature slowly walked out from the thick smoke, covered in blood, scaring the passers-by into fleeing.

It raised its arms, leaped up, and jumped nearly twenty meters away. In an instant, it came in front of a passerby who was still recording the screen, and swung its wrist knife.

The passerby and his phone fell heavily to the ground. The only difference was that one phone flashed with sparks, while the other phone was filled with bright red liquid...

Seeing this, Ye Tingheng silently activated his skills, destroying the surrounding cameras and their recent images, and took out his weapon. However, he suddenly thought of something and looked painful.

How could I have forgotten this skill yesterday?

Ye Tingheng looked at the silenced pistol in his hand - after a systematic modification, the sound was reduced by nearly 97%, and the bullet penetration and shooting accuracy were also improved.

But even so, the damage this pistol can cause to the guy in front of her may not be significant, but at least it can let her know whether this guy is tough enough.

If this guy can block pistol bullets, then next time I face these guys, I can just take out other weapons to avoid wasting ammunition.

Even if she couldn't defeat the enemy, she had plenty of ways to save her life. Furthermore, she also had a backup plan left by the system! She even had a small armory tucked away in her space...
