Beauty Man: Cat Hero Manager

Chapter 49 The Hunt Begins (Today's First Update)

Xincheng District, a small city with a slow and comfortable pace of life, has three things in it, which are often praised by the locals.

Streets that never have traffic jams, law and order that is stable most of the time, and the botanical garden in the new city, with bright red maple leaves in late autumn.

As the year goes by again, the maple trees in the botanical garden gradually begin to bloom. Whenever this time comes, children in the new urban area will ask their parents to take them to the botanical garden for an outing.

"Quick! Go this way!"

In the woods, two children were playing tirelessly, and their parents followed behind, chatting and laying picnic mats on the ground.

"Don't go too far!"

"understood!!!"

After crossing the mound and drilling through the fallen leaves, the children finally felt a little tired. They sat on the soft soil and began to rest for the next carnival.

"Look, Jack, what's that?"

Suddenly, a strange thing attracted their attention. Deep in the woods ahead, there was a dark corner with exceptionally lush branches and leaves. When they came here last week, they had not seen such a place.

"Is there... a tree this big?"

The two children looked at each other, but at the same time, their strong desire to explore made them want to look in that direction.

"I heard from my science teacher that there are often mushrooms growing under this kind of big tree! If you find it, you can eat it later!"

"go!"

Regardless of taking a break, the two jumped up from the ground and ran quickly towards the depths of the woods.

an hour later.

The children hadn't returned for a long time, which made the adults in the place start to fidget, but they have been to this picnic spot many times, and the possibility of accidents is very small.

"Why don't I go find it..."

Unable to bear his temper, a man stood up. He was the father of one of the children. Driven by him, several parents stood up one after another and joined the team looking for the child.

"Jack!!! Bob!!!"

The people around moved forward in the direction the children walked, calling and looking for traces on the ground.

"Huh? Over there... what is it?"

Seeing that someone noticed something unusual, everyone gathered together and looked into the dark woods together.

It was noon at this time, but the strong sunlight failed to pass through the dense branches and leaves in front, and a cold breath came from there, making several adults shudder.

More importantly, there seemed to be two black figures standing in the shadows over there.

"Is it the children?"

"Jack!!! Bob!!! Come here!!!"

The voices of the parents echoed in the woods, but there was no response.

"I'll go take a look."

Pulling out his phone and turning on the flash, the man entered the darkness and walked quickly towards the two shadows in the depths.

"Jack?"

Familiar clothes appeared in their field of vision, and it was indeed their children standing not far away, but no matter how the man shouted, the two children remained indifferent, staring at the treetops as if they couldn't hear them.

"What are you two doing here?"

The man walked up to them angrily, grabbed their hands and pulled them out, but what he didn't expect was that he, who was usually able to carry his wife and children at home at the same time, couldn't shake these two children at this moment. Staring at the giant tree in front of him like that, it seemed like he was possessed by a demon.

"Dad, look."

Under the urging of the children, the man raised his head and looked up. There seemed to be something in the dark tree top.

rustle--

A pair of green hands protruded from the leaves, pushed aside the blocking leaves, blinked a pair of glowing eyes and looked at the man.

But the strange thing is that the green creature on the treetop has the same face as him.

···
"Today, there are frequent disappearances in Xincheng District. There have been more than a dozen cases in three days. Most of the incidents occurred in the wild, parks and other outdoor open places. Therefore, the official recommends that everyone reduce going out recently. If anyone with information has relevant information , please communicate with the official immediately..."

While listening to the news on the radio, Yiguo watched the team members cooperate for the third time. With the accumulation of previous experience, the cooperation of several people has become more and more proficient. Although it is not a tacit cooperation, at least It has reached the level of mutual non-interference.

In addition, under the guidance of Yi Guo and Barry during training, a new skill was developed on Xingguang, energy shock will become her new attack method, and there is no sequelae after learning the skill this time.

The training went very smoothly, which made Yi Guo full of hope for the future development of the team.

"Ding dong."

The new news notification sounded, and Yi Guo opened the chat box, and saw a folder sent by Barry.

"Boss, have you noticed the latest news?"

"Is it about the disappearance case?" Yi Guo replied after glancing at the broadcast that was still reporting the news.

"Yes, the document that the police station just sent me is said to be some clue details about the disappearance case. After you read it, you can consider whether to join the official team to investigate."

This is the second assignment from the government after the last security operation. The frequent disappearance cases have caused panic in the entire Xincheng District.

Clicking on the folder, several videos were placed in front of Yi Guo. The length was about four to five minutes, and the shortest was only a few seconds. The covers were all pitch black, making it unclear what was in them.

The shorter one was turned on, and the picture seemed to be a street camera surveillance. The whole scene was dark, with only one street lamp standing in the middle of the picture.

What is this?

With doubts in his heart, Yiguo wanted to drag the progress bar to see the next screen, but before he could do it, something that appeared suddenly caught his attention.

The slender, tall and thin human figure, the clothes on his body are in tatters, and many rags are constantly shaking with his movement. The creature slowly passes through the screen, and is briefly exposed to the light under the street lamp. And soon into the darkness.

The strange thing is that the height of that creature is almost the same as the street lamp on the street.

Yiguo patiently watched the videos in the file one by one, and found that the weird and strange-shaped black shadows in the pictures, although their appearances were slightly different, judging from the tattered clothes and swaying movements of the other party, Should be the same thing.

What is this?Are there monsters lurking in the new city?

Yi Guo fixed the picture on the frame of the black shadow, and squinted his eyes to watch it carefully. For some reason, he felt that the other person looked familiar.

interesting.
