Chapter 751 Shell in the Ceiling

The rancher thanked Chen Qinghan for his kind reminder. He didn't want to make a big deal about this, so he cooperated with us to pretend to repair the sewer pipe, and did not let the other three tenants know that there was a living thing going on the house.

When the rancher left, Chen Qinghan told me that he suspected that the rancher's second daughter had a problem.

The girl's room had a skylight, and the things on the roof were parked at the skylight. The girl was not on the bed when Chen Qinghan knocked on the door. Chen Qinghan heard that she was walking from the bottom of the skylight to the door to open the door.

One stood above the skylight and the other stood under the skylight. Chen Qinghan knocked on the door for several days before the girl opened it. What was she doing?

I can be sure that the thing is not a human. I wanted to catch it, so I didn't use lightning to strike it, but I was forced to run away. However, I believe it will come back. There is this pasture within a radius of hundreds of miles. It has come here for two consecutive days, and it must be close to its nest.

We had planned to stay here for a few days, and if we encounter that thing again, we can protect the rancher's family.

During dinner in the morning, the photographer mentioned that Chen Qinghan asked the rancher to repair the sewer pipe last night. He said that he had always been sleeping late and could not sleep until two o'clock in the morning, so he heard a little conversation between us.

He said there were rats in the ceiling of his room, and hoped that the rancher would solve it. He hated rats the most, for fear that they would fall and hit him in the face.

The rancher promised that there were no mice on his roof, but he could check it out to give the photographer peace of mind.

After breakfast, Chen Qinghan and I went out and walked around the ranch. There were many ranches in Landao, some of which were famous and had their own characteristics, attracting countless tourists to visit.

The rancher's family didn't do that, so there were not many people coming to play.

When talking about the creatures that appeared last night, I led Chen Qinghan to the big slope and showed him the direction of the thing disappearing.

We went down the slope, and then walked around the river below the slope, in the direction where unknown creatures escaped.

Chen Qinghan tried it, and the function of the talisman was still there. As long as the creature didn't escape too far, he could still track it.

He didn't have a accurate number of how far this "not far" was. I teased him and said that Professor Chen started to be silly and could even use talismans?

He took out another talisman from his arms, which was slightly different from the one he posted on an unknown creature. I didn't see any difference in the pattern on it, but only saw that the paint used to draw was not the same color.

The one on the unknown creature was painted with red paint, and the one in his hand was blue and did not shine.

Chen Qinghan said that before it was time to shine, if we approached the red one, this one would shine.

He has a good reputation in the unit, and some old seniors and old hermits always give him good things.

In addition to the regular equipment for field trips, he also has additional ‘equipment’.

I always think he is the "Ting Tang" in this industry. He is working on tasks with him. The biggest fun is to see him pulling out magic weapons from his pocket.

The person you are looking for has no idea, and when you come, something strange happens around you. This is not a curse, but also a hidden passive skill. The skill of sucking monsters cannot be used without using it. There is no switch to turn it off.

There are vast grasslands around the pasture, and further into the distance are mountains. After we crossed the river, we were walking towards the mountains in the general direction.

If you walk until dark, you can't walk at the foot of the mountain, so I think unknown creatures will not hide in the mountains, and it is inconvenient to go back and forth.

We walked until noon, but Lan Fu still didn't respond. Then we walked down and couldn't go back to the rancher's house before dark. We were not worried about our safety, but we were afraid that something would go to the ranch to attack after dark.

So we turned back the same way and returned to the rancher's house before the sun sets.

They were worried about us, and the rancher was the most nervous. He said that the beast that ate sheep had not been found yet and would not let us go too far. He would accompany us tomorrow and he had a hunting rifle.

The photographer and the couple only took some photos near the ranch today. The couple rode around in the afternoon and immediately went back to the room to sort out the photos after dinner.

Chen Qinghan and I also wanted to go back to our room, but were stopped by the rancher. He said he had something to show us and led us to his tool room. In a cardboard box, we saw a few eggs.

"Have you seen this thing?" the rancher asked a little uneasy.

The eggs in the carton... no, it should be said to be eggshells, with a very rough surface and gray surface, like a random cement paste without smoothing it.

It is not round or oval, or like an egg or duck egg. It is actually a bit like a conch, but it has no pointed part.

Moreover, it is not small in size, each of which is as big as a cantaloupe. It is empty inside, but you can see black mucus inside.

"Where did you pick it up?" Chen Qinghan asked.

"On the ceiling of the photographer's room," said the rancher.

"The mouse he said?" I asked, looking at the shell of an unknown creature.

"It should be." The rancher said loudly, "It was absolutely not before, I can guarantee it."

The photographer's room was next to the rancher's second daughter's room. Chen Qinghan asked him if he had checked the girl's room.

The rancher said there was no inspection, only the photographer reported that there was movement in the ceiling, but his daughter did not say that, that should be no.

Chen Qinghan suggested that he check it out. For the sake of the girl's safety, if this thing bites people and carries bacteria, the consequences will be serious.

The rancher nodded quickly and said that he would go to check in a while, hoping that we would keep it a secret for him. He didn't even say anything about his wife, for fear that his wife would be worried.

No matter what this thing is, they have hatched and will move. I don’t know where they have gone, but I certainly haven’t left the house.

The rancher checked the roof, and there were no holes, but he did find footprints. There were black footprints on the roof, so he immediately discussed with us. He now believes what we said last night.

Now that we knew that there were only three of us in the house, he knew that there were unknown creatures wandering nearby, and his wife thought that the beast that attacked the flock had run away.

Chen Qinghan and I don’t think so. There is another person in the house who knows about it, but she chose to remain silent.

The rancher also noticed that his second daughter was a little wrong. He said that the girl hadn't eaten for a day and had no breakfast. She stayed in the room for lunch and dinner and refused to go downstairs. The rancher's wife went to knock on the door, but she just said she wasn't hungry and wanted to rest.

Today, the school holiday is on, so I don’t have to go to school. The little girl was bored in the room for a whole day.

The rancher also said that the girl has been disliked since yesterday. He and his wife thought she was unhappy in school, but they were still like this today, so they were a little worried.

Chen Qinghan said that their concerns were right and we should pay more attention to this girl, so tonight we changed rooms with the photographer and we moved to the next door of the girl to sleep.

I said Chen Qinghan has good hearing, and if something happens next door, he can hear it.

The rancher thought it would be a good thing that we could help him watch his daughter more, so he called the photographer and asked him to quietly change the room with us.
