The characteristic of "eight arms and eight eyes" can be said to be very impressive to Chu Xiuwen.

He has never seen the relevant projections of the "eight-armed eight-eyed monster", whether it is a dream projection or an illusion in reality, nor has he felt the influence of related fears.

However, through his old classmate Guo Lin’s father, Mr. Guo, he saw the multi-armed "gatekeeper" during the process of being rescued from a heart attack, and the eight-armed eight-eyed wood carving he saw in Qi Haoguo’s new home a year later. Get in touch with Xiang Kun.

He believes that Xiang Kun may have some special talents or tools that can draw on the power of the "eight arms and eight eyes". Therefore, when Xiang Kun saves Father Guo and frightens Qi Haoguo, they will see "eight arms and eight eyes". The monster of "eye" exists.

Moreover, Chu Xiuwen speculated that not only Xiang Kun alone has this ability, they should have an organization, and others can do it.

After all, when Xiang Kun was in Erythronium before, there were cases in another city where a suspect was frightened by an "eight-armed eight-eyed monster".

Chu Xiuwen knew that someone in the Xia family had been kidnapped. He also knew that "Doctor Xia" Xia Libing and Xiang Kun were very close, so he took the initiative to help Uncle Xia Libing contact Qi Haoguo and asked Qi Haoguo to use his relationship in Myanmar to help. .

If he remembered correctly, the Xia family was kidnapped in Montamira.

The day before yesterday, there was news that the Xia family had been kidnapped in Montamira. Today there was news of the appearance of an "eight-armed and eight-eyed monster" in Montamilla. If there is no connection, he absolutely does not believe it.

Chu Xiuwen seemed to take a sip of the soup casually, and said, "Don't always look at your mobile phone when you are eating. I am also your elder.

As I heard it, I immediately sat down, a little embarrassed.

Chu Xiaoting smiled and said, "Come on, Second Uncle, you don't always look at your phone when you eat. I heard my dad say that your second aunt often talks about you, but you tell her to make the most of your fragmented time!"

Chu Xiuwen couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. This niece really didn't play the card according to the routine. Is he not being an uncle?

But he still took advantage of the situation to "change the subject" and said: "By the way, what you just said, what is the monster in Burma? Is it a rumor?"

"It shouldn't be a rumor. Many tourists who have experienced and seen in Montamilla have posted, and they have been in various countries, and most of the descriptions are similar." Chu Xiaoting said.

"I think it should be at that time last night. Some natural phenomena that we cannot describe and understand in detail happened temporarily in Montamira, which caused the magnetic field in a certain area of ​​Montamira to change drastically, and even further People's senses and thinking have had an impact." Zicheng couldn't help but express his views.

Chu Xiuwen followed their words and said, "Oh, that is to say, that monster is just an illusion produced by some people, not a real existence?"

Chu Xiaoting said: "I don't think it is an illusion! If it is an illusion, not everyone will see a giant with eight arms and eight eyes!"

Zicheng lowered his glasses and said, "So I said that the changes in this environment should have an impact on the senses and thinking of the human body in the area. The image with eight arms and eight eyes is probably some kind of real, external Something similar in shape, such as some buildings, big trees, or stone statues, under the influence of the environment, projected the appearance of a giant with eight arms and eight eyes in the vision of the affected people. So you see, a lot of personal experience The descriptions of the giant and the monster are different in details. Some say they are two stories high, and some say they are as high as a mountain, at least tens of meters. Some say that the monster is like metal and looks There were edges, corners, and reflections. Some said that the monster was full of sarcoma and was still running juice. So what they saw was the same thing, but not the same thing. It might be different from the location and surroundings. The environment is directly related. Of course, this is just my guess."

After listening, Chu Xiaoting frowned slightly, but nodded thoughtfully, "Listening to you, I agree with your judgment."

Chu Xiuwen was also stunned, and felt that the self-contained statement was indeed quite reasonable, and it was like that. Would it be theoretically a similar way of realization?

After all, Zicheng and Xiang Kun have a good relationship. They have known each other for a long time. Maybe they know something?

However, from the self-contained expression and the way of expressing the content, Chu Xiuwen believed that he should not know, otherwise he would not make these guesses and would not say something.

He knew that since yesterday, neither Xiang Kun nor Doctor Xia had been in Chongyun Village.

As for where he went, whether he went to Myanmar or Montamira, he didn't know.

He knows that Xiang Kun should have an official background, but he doesn’t know that the large-scale "eight-armed eight-eyed monster" illusion effect that Mengtamila appears this time is a special official countermeasure against the local riots attacking Chinese and tourists. , Or Xiang Kun’s solo operation to save Xia Tianhuo?

At this time, Chu Xiuwen did not know the information that Xia Tianhuo had been rescued, and instinctively felt that the appearance of the "eight-armed eight-eyed monster" in Montamira was related to the rescue of Xia Tianhuo.

"Where do you look at these news, is it headline today, or is it Penguin news?" Chu Xiuwen asked.

"You can read it from those news apps, but most of those are also translated from foreign social media or news platforms, and many of them are directly reposted by netizens on various domestic platforms. I sent what we watched to You, many of them were posted by people who personally experienced in Montamilla last night, first-hand information." Chu Xiaoting said, sharing her and the articles that Zicheng just read through WeChat The second uncle.

Chu Xiuwen ignored the warning that he had just warned the two young people not to look at their mobile phones while eating. He turned over the articles and discussion posts with his mobile phone at the dining table.

At noon today, the government of Myanmar has issued an announcement stating that the riots that occurred in Montamira last night were caused by the rush of evil forces in several places. The local police in Montamira have taken strong and effective actions in a timely manner. Stopped the riot and stated that no tourists were killed in the riot. The relevant personnel have been severely punished by the law. The Montamira police are capable of maintaining local security and the safety of tourists.

Obviously, the government of Myanmar tried their best to avoid group attacks on Chinese merchants and Chinese tourists that night, and also deliberately avoided talking about the monsters or giant illusions that affected many people and even shook the entire Internet.

However, the online discussion has not been affected by the official announcement of Myanmar. The focus is still on the illusion of the "eight-armed eight-eyed monster", and various speculations and discussions are still emerging.

After eating with Zicheng and Chu Xiaoting, Chu Xiuwen directly called Qi Haoguo and asked if he had heard of what happened to Montamira.

"I know." On the phone, Qi Haoguo's answer was very simple, he didn't say much, and he didn't even mention helping Sanshu Xia Libing contact the forces in Myanmar for help.

Just when Chu Xiuwen thought that Qi Haoguo might not know much about what happened to Montamira, he didn't know about the "eight-armed eight-eyed monster", and planned to relay some of the content he just saw to the other party, Qi Haoguo But an invitation was sent: "Are you free now, I bought some good Tieguanyin, come and taste it?"

Chu Xiuwen readily agreed and drove to Qi Haoguo's mansion in Tongshi Town.

While sitting in the bedroom and putting down his mobile phone, Qi Haoguo raised his eyes to look at a custom glass cabinet placed directly opposite the wall in a bedroom. Inside, there were eight-armed and eight-eyed wood carvings he had specially asked for to build according to his description.

Qi Haoguo got up, walked slowly to the glass cabinet, slightly excited.

However, it has nothing to do with the wood carving itself. Although he tried his best to restore the details of the "eight-armed and eight-eyed monster" he had seen at the beginning, he was commissioned to make the wood carving master, and his craftsmanship was also very good, but he looked at the wood carving itself. , But it didn't have the psychological impact that the "eight-armed eight-eyed monster" brought to him.

His emotions came mainly from the news of Montamira.

Qi Haoguo knew that Montamira had discovered the news of the "eight-armed eight-eyed monster" much earlier than Chu Xiuwen, and the way to understand the news was more comprehensive and direct.

Yesterday afternoon, after Xia Tianhuo was saved, Third Uncle Xia Libing called to tell him the situation. After all, he had to ask him to inquire about the news and establish contact in Montamilla through the relationship.

The reason for Xia Tianhuo's escape was the internal strife of the kidnappers, which naturally had nothing to do with Wu Lun who Qi Haoguo asked.

He was only a little regretful at the beginning, and failed to take this opportunity to reshape the relationship with Xiang Kun through the Xia family.

But when he tried to contact Wu Lun later, he found that he couldn't contact Wu Lun no matter what. This made him feel a little strange, so he tried to contact some other old relationships of Montamira. Of course, the others were naturally not Wu. A big guy like Lun.

Then he learned a piece of news that puzzled him. There had been news circulating in Montamira yesterday, saying that it was the forces of the people of Guihai who killed the only son of the big boss, Tengli.

He knew that before Xia Tianhuo was kidnapped, the most likely possibility was that he was in the same car with that Tengli, so if the person who killed Tengli was killed, there was a high probability that he would kidnap Xia Tianhuo.

If this news is true, the whole Montamira has been circulating today. Why didn't Wu Lun tell him?

Of course, because Xia Tianhuo has already escaped, he is only purely curious and confused about this, so he will continue to pay attention to the follow-up development of this matter through more channels.

As a result, he knew that the "eight-armed eight-eyed monster" had appeared in Montamira that night, and had deterred all the mobs.

Not long after the early hours of the morning, before the relevant news on the Chinese Internet was fermented, he had already known the specific situation through the local people in Montamilla.

When I heard that the Chinese boss, who was also in his forties and operated a factory in Montamilla, was incoherently excited on the phone to describe the huge, multi-arm, multi-eye "giant" he saw. When Qi Haoguo was holding the phone, his hands were shaking slightly.

After repeatedly confirming the sight that the Chinese boss saw and confirming that the "giant" he saw was basically the same as the "eight-armed eight-eyed monster" he had seen, except for the size and some details, Qi Haoguo became excited. No smaller than the boss on the other end of the phone.

This feeling is a bit like doing a big question that no one else knows before the college entrance examination. I firmly believe that I will get it. When I wait for the day of the college entrance examination, the test paper will be handed out, and the question will be on the exam paper.

It’s like listening to a niche song in silence. Almost no one else has listened to it. Suddenly, one day, I saw that song dominates the major media, dominates the charts, and instantly became a phenomenal song. .

At one o'clock in the morning, after he finished the call with the Chinese boss of Montamira, he went to the bedroom excitedly and looked at the eight-armed wooden sculpture.

After facing up to his inner fears a long time ago, Qi Haoguo has reshaped and clarified his life pursuit and code of conduct.But knowing the existence of guiding oneself to find the true self, after Montamira came in such a shocking way, although he could not see or feel what happened in Montamira, he was still very excited. And inspired, the will become more determined.

But looking at the wood carvings he found in the bedroom, he didn’t want to bow down, pray, or chant praises at all, because his mind and spirit were actually affected, and he was really touched. Know that it is not a god that needs to be worshipped in the traditional sense.

Respect for it should be to recognize your own fears, then follow your inner needs and truly be yourself.

When you want to help others, do your best to help others, do your best, regardless of whether you can get praise and gratitude from others;

When you think something is wrong, don't do it, even if it will bring benefits and the risk is small;

When you feel that certain things and certain people are important to you, then you should do your best to maintain and pursue them, not to be constrained by the reality, and look forward and backward;

When you feel that a certain responsibility is something you should bear, then stand up and shoulder it, even if it will be very hard and difficult.

These things are simple to say, but they are actually very difficult. Qi Haoguo is far from doing it, but he is in the direction of "obedience".

Because you know what the real fear is, as long as you "obey", you can continue to move in another direction.

And the farther he went, the more determined he became. The feeling of being extremely "definite" in spirit was very strange.

Qi Haoguo's family did not move to Tongshi Town with him. The only junior who followed, "Xiao Liu", was arranged to go to "Youlong Hotel" to help. The aunt who cleaned the housework was also sent out by him to buy, so he became Chu Xiuwen. When he arrived, Qi Haoguo was the only one in the entire three-story building.

After a brief greeting in the living room, Qi Haoguo told Chu Xiuwen the "inside news" he had obtained through Montamira's channel.

“Although Montamira’s official statement is that no tourists died last night, it seems that the riots did not cause any disturbance. But in fact, 29 people were killed and nearly 1,000 were injured last night, but 17 of the people who died were local forces. As a result of the rush, 12 of them were seriously injured by legitimate defenses when they attacked Chinese shops, or they were killed by infighting and attacking each other. Indeed, none of the tourists died. Oh, by the way, do you remember the Wu Lun mentioned when you contacted me yesterday? That guy also died last night and was killed by his own men. The specific reason is not known yet."

These news are indeed invisible to Chu Xiuwen from relevant online news, but he is very clear about the real reason for the small casualties of tourists, and he is not concerned about the inside story, what Wu Lun, what gangsters, and what mob did not die. He didn't care at all. What he really cared about was the illusion of the "eight-armed eight-eyed monster", so he actively mentioned:

"Have you seen the discussion on the Internet? The phantom that appeared in Montamira last night? According to the descriptions of the parties and witnesses on the Internet, I always feel... the same as the one I saw at your house last time. Eye wood carving is a bit like?"

After Chu Xiuwen finished speaking, he stared at Qi Haoguo's face, trying to notice the change in his expression.

This is quite a direct test, but Qi Haoguo's expression hasn't changed much. He continued to make tea calmly, and then said casually, "Brother Chu, what is the biggest fear in your heart?"

Naturally, Qi Haoguo would not reveal what he knew about the "eight-armed eight-eyed monster", but it was not a way of discussing it.

He knew that Chu Xiuwen also had some information he didn't know, and he must also know some secrets of the "eight-armed eight-eyed monster", he wanted to test it out.

...

Sheep city.

After Zhao Feng and Wang De'an returned from Pancheng City, they returned to the task force and continued to follow the command of the task force leader to trace the trace of the suspect Guo Tianxiang.

It's just that the investigation has not made progress. Even if Mi Qiao, who had been in contact with the suspect for a long time, was found before and received great cooperation, it failed to further identify the suspect's whereabouts.

It can only be certain that before the last disappearance, the suspect went to see someone in Liushi, but he did not see him.

The task force spent a lot of effort to ask colleagues in the technical department to help investigate, but it has not been able to determine the identity of the person the suspect wants to see.

Before Zhao Feng and Wang Dean went to Pancheng, they were originally to investigate Guo Tianxiang's trajectory in Star City in his early years to see if Guo Tianxiang might be hidden in Pancheng.

Wang Dean was working in Pancheng before entering the task force, so he and Zhao Feng partnered to investigate.

However, after completing the task of the task force, the two of them "by the way" found an excuse to visit an eyewitness and informant in a case handled by Wang De'an.

To be honest, the process of chatting with the blind girl named Li Jun for more than an hour really impressed them.

Because the two of them had been "popularized" by more than an hour of bird knowledge, the girl really talked about bird-related issues.

But let's not talk about it. Over 90% of what Li Jun said was something they had never heard before. It was quite novel.

Even if they didn't take the initiative to leave in the end, they felt that Li Jun would have no problem talking for a few more hours.

They also saw the canary as they wished, but according to their observations, they did not see the difference between this bird and other canaries.

Because Li Jun’s father, Professor Li Yang, was nearby, it was difficult for them to directly ask the suspect’s weird performance of the canary captured by the vehicle traffic recorder that night, otherwise it would mean that they came to "inquire" for the case. Li Jun, not only can they not continue to talk, but they have to be held accountable when they turn around.

So they can only pretend to ask how to train "guide birds", but according to Li Jun, her ability to train canaries to become guide birds is directly related to her own familiarity with birds. Others are afraid It is difficult to imitate.However, she also put forward her own set of related theories, and proposed some feasible methods for the domestication of "guide birds", which can be tried by the "blind school" staff referred to by Zhao Feng.

Although no evidence was found that the canary was unusual this time, after the meeting with Li Jun, the two felt the same:

"This girl doesn't feel like a blind person at all."

"She has a very certain feeling about her surroundings."

"She has a gentle attitude and a gentle voice, but when she speaks, she is very confident."

"This girl is special."

But these are very subjective feelings, and they have not found any substantive evidence.

And they both like this blind girl who is optimistic, knowledgeable, intelligent, enthusiastic, and has a sense of justice. They don't want to have even the slightest influence on her because of some rash investigations.

While the two were staying in Yangcheng, temporarily trying to put aside the investigation of the "many-armed monster" and focus on the pursuit of Guo Tianxiang, they saw what happened to Montamira on the Internet and saw the persons involved. Experience description.

When they were shocked to search for relevant information on the Internet, the leader of the task force called them to this separate conference room and introduced them to a leader.

But what made them very puzzled was that the leader did not report any titles, just calling himself Lao He.
