The hotel we stayed in was the best in the town, and of course the only one, and the others were small hotels.

Because there are no tourism resources, there are not many outsiders in the town usually. The hotel owner is very enthusiastic and asked us what we are doing. Chen Qinghan said that we are doing earthquake research and we have to go to the estuary center to check it out.

The boss sighed as soon as he heard this, saying that in the past two or three years, there have been frequent earthquakes here, but they are not serious. They have been shaking twice every time, and the source of the earthquake is in the mountains, so there is no big feeling in the town.

But everyone is still a little worried. After frequent small vibrations, will a big one suddenly appear one day?

I heard that we were studying earthquakes, and the boss became more enthusiastic and asked a lot of questions. Of course, he mainly asked Chen Qinghan, maybe because he thought he was kind-hearted, because the other three people, including me, all had a stern face and looked like they were not close to strangers.

I was afraid that I could not answer the questions he asked, so I deliberately showed off my attitude of refusing to talk. As for the other two, Gan Quan always had a poker face, and Xiao Changfeng was only friendly to his own people. This was what I discovered when I was resting on the road. He looked like he didn't smile at all when facing strangers.

Chen Qinghan perfectly interpreted what it means to be white-faced and black-bellied. He chatted with the boss warmly and friendly for a long time, but I can guarantee that the boss didn't understand anything. His questions seemed to have been answered, but there was no substantive content at all.

When they returned to their rooms, Chen Qinghan sent us a text message asking us to go to his room for a meeting at 8 o'clock in the evening.

Apart from eating and going to the toilet on the road, we almost all rushed to the road. He arranged this way to give Gan Quan and Xiao Changfeng time to rest.

Although Xiao Changfeng has a chip in his mind, he is a flesh and blood body after all. His body, like a normal person, also needs to eat, drink, defecate and urinate.

After dinner, I went around the hotel first. There was no entertainment in this place. In the evening, there was basically no one on the street and even the hotel was closed.

It seems that our entertainment activities are only for the meeting. When I returned to the hotel, Gan Quan and Xiao Changfeng had already gone to Chen Qinghan's room. When everyone was here, the meeting was in advance.

Chen Qinghan first played a recording for us, and there were three people in the recording, two of which were police officers and one claimed to be a forest ranger.

The recording was about a forest ranger telling the police about a strange thing he experienced, just the day before the earthquake.

The forest ranger does not need to go to the mountains to inspect every day, and usually enter the mountains every half month, so when he sees several empty tents in the forest, he just thinks it is left by tourists coming to travel.

Although Hewan Town has no tourism projects, occasionally there are hikers who like to find different ways to enter non-tourist areas to experience the pure natural scenery.

But the ranger walked closer and saw clearly that several thorns were cut on the tent, and there were splattering blood on the cloth around the opening.

At that time, they were patrolling the mountain together. The person in the recording sounded that he was a little older. He called another person Xiao Zhao, who had just graduated from college. He was frightened after seeing the blockbuster blood on the tent.

Because there are ruptures and blood on each tent, there is probably more than one thing that attacks the camp.

The old forest ranger believed that there were thieves hidden in the mountains, poachers, or fugitives who had committed crimes. When they met hikers camped in the mountains, they became ill-intentioned and harmed the people.

The young forest ranger was worried that it was wild animals, such as wolves, black blind men, etc., and wanted to go down the mountain immediately, but he didn't dare to stay there for too long.

The blood was no longer new, but the old forest ranger still wanted to search around to see if anyone was still alive.

As a result, he really found a person about two hundred meters away from the tent. He was an old man whose hair was almost gone, and his skin was wrinkled like an old tree bark.

The man was wearing an outdoor outfit and holding a flashlight tightly in his hand. The young forest ranger carried him down the mountain, and he refused to let go of the flashlight along the way.

The strange thing the forest ranger said was the survivor. He looked through the man's pocket and wanted to find his mobile phone to contact the injured family. He found his ID card and driver's license. According to the photos and birthday on the ID card, the old man was a 23-year-old man.

The old forest ranger also thought that the ID may not belong to the old man, but the young man on the ID photo had a birthmark around his left eye, which seemed like he had been punched, and there was a birthmark around his left eye.

They took people down the mountain to report the case. The old man was taken to the town hospital. Unfortunately, he died that night. There were no external injuries on his body. The doctor said that he was too old and he died.

After the recording ended, Chen Qinghan began to add content that was not included in the recording. Later, through investigation, the police learned that the owner of the tent was not a hiker at all. They were a group of poachers, but their weapons were not found in the camp and nearby areas.

And they did not find the animals they poached, so the police suspected that they might have hidden their weapons and skins before being attacked.

There are footprints of animals around the tent, which the police suspected to be even-hoofed animals, but they are standing on both limbs, which is strange.

"We want to find missing people, and things that can make people lose decades of life overnight."

"The creature standing with two hooves...I know! Minos~"

Gan Quan turned his head to look at me and corrected: "It just has a bull's head, and its body is still human."

Her tone was too sure, as if she had seen it.

"Yes, I have checked its skeleton with my own hands, which is the human foot bone." Xiao Changfeng said with a smile.

"Uh, it really exists?" I was just a sudden idea. For the Dead House Zong, who was full of TV plots, the case reasoning was all about making up random things. I didn't expect that this would be unfortunately explained, although Minos had nothing to do with this case...

"No, it doesn't exist." Gan Quan closed his eyes as he said this.

"Just using cow heads and headless male corpses to bury it is a primitive worship of the ancients, well, it must be."

Xiao Changfeng nodded as he said, "These two people are worthy of being partners." I blinked at Chen Qinghan and wanted to ask, "This is how they usually eliminate feudal superstitions?"

"Okay, preliminary judgment is that the creatures attacking the camp can walk upright, and may have sharp nails or similar weapons. The old man has no wounds, so the reason for his rapid aging is unclear, so special attention is needed."

"What about the earthquake? Is it related to this?" I asked casually.

The hotel owner said that the town had earthquakes several times in the past two years, and poachers had just arrived recently and were killed before the earthquake. He said that the earthquake was impossible, but it was not directly related, and maybe there was an indirect relationship?
