No matter what the outside world said, it didn't affect Gao Peng.
Gao Peng had a lot of fun these days. Gao Peng didn't allow Da Zi to prank Abba, but he realized that Abba didn't mind other familiars playing with it.
It even took the initiative to ask Gao Peng. "Gao Peng, Gao Peng, why didn't Da Zi come and play with me?" Abba lay on the ground, bored, and looked up at the sky.
Gao Peng was about to say that he had grounded Da Zi, but when he met Abba's expectant eyes, Gao Peng swallowed his words.
After a moment of silence, he said, "It's preparing a surprise for you."
Abba's eyes lit up. "Really?"
"Really."
"Yes, yes." After receiving an accurate answer from Gao Peng, Abba was satisfied. It looked expectantly in the direction of the villa, then closed its eyes, but it couldn't fall asleep. It tossed and turned, thinking about what Da Zi's surprise was.
"Gao Peng, I thought Da Zi didn't want to play with me anymore!" Abba smiled shyly, wriggling its huge body with effort. The surrounding mountains shook again.
Gao Peng went down the mountain, looked back at the huge Abba, and was silent.
He suddenly understood why many giant monsters with long lifespans liked to sleep.
It wasn't that they liked to sleep, but that they could only count the stars in solitude.
Solitude was the biggest nightmare.
Perhaps every long-lived species was as brilliant as a painting in their dreams. They were carefree and not lonely.
Gao Peng thought of the White Dragon and the Mountain Spirit. He suddenly had a vague idea, but this idea still needed to be carefully thought out.
.....
Yuzhou City, Diamond Bridge Commercial Street.
Before the Cataclysm, this had been one of the busiest commercial streets in Yuzhou City. After the Cataclysm, due to geographical reasons, it had become Yuzhou City's gold pit.
In the middle of the Diamond Bridge business street, there was a fifteen-meter-tall bronze statue of Saint Emperor Guan.
If the base of the statue was three meters tall, the statue would be eighteen meters tall. It had a gloomy brass luster, and it looked valiant and valiant, riding a red hare and holding a crescent blade. It was the landmark of the Adamantine Bridge.
Usually, people would come and go, and many people would notice this statue.
However, as time passed, people became accustomed to this statue. Even if they walked past it, they would often ignore its existence.
Early in the morning, a thin mist drifted through the streets. There were fallen leaves and a small amount of trash on the cold stone floor.
A street cleaner wearing a blue cleaning uniform was sweeping the garbage on the ground with a big broom, making a swishing sound.
Zheng Changshou wiped the sweat off his forehead. The October morning in Yuzhou was still a little stuffy.
Zheng Changshou raised his head and glanced at the statue standing in the middle of the street. He frowned in confusion. Why does this statue feel a little … strange? Something doesn't feel right.
However, this thought only flashed through his mind. He still hadn't finished sweeping the streets today, so he had to hurry. Otherwise, if he waited until the morning rush, it would be even more inconvenient.
The sun rose, and the sunlight was cut into neat geometric shapes by the jungle of steel. It scattered on the streets and glass walls.
The sunlight scattered on the statue of Saint Emperor Guan, and the grooves on the Green Dragon Crescent Blade were inlaid with a layer of gold.
"Yes, yes, yes, this is the pose. One, two, three, cripple!"
Tourists who came to the Diamond Bridge business district in Yuzhou City would usually take photos under this statue as a souvenir.
"Hey, Liu Yuan, why is this photo different from the one you showed me last time?" Lu Feng pointed at the photo and said.
"How is it different? It was taken from the same angle. Are you doubting my photography skills?" The tall girl called Liu Yuan said unhappily.
"Oh, I don't know what to say …" Lu Feng said as she took out her phone and opened the photo album. Her finger quickly swiped across the screen. "Look, this is the one, isn't it?"
Liu Yuan poked her head over. This was the photo she took at the Diamond Bridge last time. Both photos were taken from the same position.
However, when she saw the photo on the phone screen, Liu Yuan felt a chill run down her spine.
The first photo was taken a year ago. In the photo, Saint Emperor Guan's head was raised high, his eyes narrowed, his left hand stroking his beard, and his right hand holding the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.
The second photo was not much different from the first. The only difference was that in the second photo, Saint Emperor Guan's head was lowered, and he was staring at Lu Feng in the photo!
Lu Feng was more careless. She patted Liu Yuan's shoulder and said, "Hey, do you think this statue's head is loose because it hasn't been repaired for a long time?"
Liu Yuan didn't answer Lu Feng. She just turned around and looked at Saint Emperor Guan's statue.
Under the sunlight, Saint Emperor Guan's head was raised high, and he was arrogant.
Lu Feng saw that Liu Yuan ignored her and frowned in confusion. She also looked behind her.
There was a moment of silence.
The two of them hurriedly left the Diamond Bridge business district.
.....
"Boss, have you heard? Recently, there are rumors that the Diamond Bridge business district is haunted," Seo Qingzhi said casually as she carried a pile of materials into the laboratory.
"So what if it's haunted? We have two little ghosts in our laboratory," Gao Peng said calmly as he processed the materials in his hands.
Seo Qingzhi was speechless.
After thinking about it carefully, she suddenly felt that her boss made sense.
"Boss, what you said makes a lot of sense."
"You're still in the mood to gossip about these things. You've been learning the simplest petrification medicine for three months, and you still haven't learned how to make it. Looks like you have a lot of time on your hands." Gao Peng glanced at her.
Seo Qingzhi was indignant. Who could compare to a pervert like you?
After being mercilessly ridiculed by Gao Peng, Seo Qingzhi suddenly didn't want to talk to this annoying guy.
…
The next day, the Diamond Bridge business district. The most central area had been completely sealed off. There were a few police cars parked outside the yellow police cordon.
In the central area surrounded by the police cordon, there were a few corpses covered by black cloth.
"Where are the witnesses?" Luo Qian, the head of the police department, was having a headache. Such a vicious crime on the busiest street in the city was bound to get a lot of scolding.
"The witnesses are in the car." One of his subordinates said as he whispered something into Luo Qian's ear.
Luo Qian rubbed his forehead and nodded. "Got it."
After a forensic examination, the corpses were all decapitated. The wounds were extremely gruesome and looked a bit like a blunt weapon.
Decapitation with a blunt weapon?
Other than the fact that the murderer was extraordinarily strong, they didn't find anything else.
"That kind of strength is not something that a human can possess."
"Maybe this is a case of monster murder!"
The police officers in the police department were all discussing the case.
"By the way, why did the statue of Guan Yu disappear from the pedestrian street? Could it have grown a foot?"
There were no surveillance cameras in the central area of the Diamond Bridge business district, but there were many in front of the shops around the district. The investigators were looking through the footage to find clues.
