Chapter 12 9. Alien Beast

After spending a lot of talking, this girl named Wang Qingyi still didn't show any signs of trusting herself. If it wasn't for the use of secrets and force, Lin Feiyu probably wouldn't even be able to enter the door.But this kind of scene is quite normal if you think about it - a strange man who claims to be his father's colleague and a foreign girl wearing a cloak who can't even speak Chinese, break into the door without saying anything, and refuse to leave, no one will Will give a good face, right? One of the few clues is that before Wang Chaoxing left Nanyang Hotel, there were signs of commotion on the island. Regardless of his safety—and of course his daughter, he resolutely ran out and has been missing until now.

Lin Feiyu noticed the charger on the desk. "Notebook!" He gestured twice in front of Wang Qingyi: "By the way, your father should have a laptop, right?" The girl frowned and remained silent. "I can help you find your father and send the two of you home together," Lin Feiyu said earnestly, "but only if you help me." Wang Qingyi shook her head: "It's not that I won't help you, but it's useless if you find it." She pointed to the drawer on the desk: "No one knows the password except my dad." "That's not necessarily true. I know your father better."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Feiyu opened the drawer with a smile, and took out a thick dark green laptop from inside—square and sturdy, it seemed to be a special model suitable for outdoor environments.Less than two or three seconds after booting up, a simple dialog box with only two lines popped up on the black screen, which seemed to be asking for a user name or something. Lin Feiyu made a slight nasal sound, pointed to the dialog box and said: "Is this the one that asks for the password?" "Don't move around!" Wang Qingyi jumped up angrily, reaching out to snatch the laptop: "This is the information of my father's company! It's all confidential information!"

Of course Lin Feiyu knew what would happen if he entered the wrong password in this dialog box—the hard disk would be destroyed automatically, so it was by no means a matter of the so-called auditing company's "data". He freed his right hand, twisted Wang Qingyi's wrist lightly, pushed the girl back to the bed with a little force, and then turned away from the laptop screen to avoid the sight of Aslang and Wang Qingyi. "Look, I said it," Lin Feiyu suddenly put away his smile, "Your father and I are acquaintances." He entered the password expressionlessly, and glanced at Aslan beside him from the corner of his eye. After making sure that she couldn't see the screen, he quickly pressed the Enter key.

The system interface used by the agents of the National Security Bureau that he is familiar with did not appear, but it was pitch black, as if the machine had crashed—Lin Feiyu nervously recalled the password he had just typed in, and no matter how he thought about it, he felt that there was nothing wrong , Is there something wrong with this broken computer? "Electronic key!" He suddenly remembered: "That's right! There should be another electronic key!" He raised his head and said to Wang Qingyi: "Have you seen your father's electronic key? It's a small black thing , like a USB flash drive?"

The girl raised her brows lightly, as if she had really recalled it for a while. "Something like a USB flash drive?" She also stretched out her hand to draw: "About this size? Black? Can it be plugged into a USB port?" "That's right!" Lin Feiyu pointed his finger excitedly: "That's the thing!" "I've never seen it." The girl crossed her arms and shook them back and forth twice: "I've never seen it before." Rarely, Lin Feiyu felt that he had been tricked once. "I think you may not understand the situation outside, little girl." Lin Feiyu walked to the bed, ignored Wang Qingyi's disgusted gaze, and sat down beside her cheekily: "Now a group of terrorists are rampaging on the island. Your father Chances are I'll run into one or two of them. Now if I find his profile, I can see what he's doing -- or what he's going to do, and I can find him in person."

A sly light flashed in the girl's eyes, as if she had suddenly realized something, but soon, she shook her head slightly, putting on a very innocent and pitiful look: "I really do not know." "You seem to have encountered a setback?" Aslan said in English, "Maybe I can help you?" "Sorry," Lin Feiyu replied with a polite smile, "I still prefer to do things like take care of girls myself." "I'm talking about the computer!" Aslan frowned, pointing to the notebook on the table: "I carry cracking software with me, it won't work for girls, but it shouldn't be a problem."

Lin Feiyu smiled wryly—he knew that the most stringent encryption measures were used in Wang Chaoxing's laptop, and any forced cracking would directly burn the hard disk and memory, and everything from the system to the data would be reimbursed in one go.What's more, in this computer, there are many "secrets" that Aslan must not let pry into. "I said I don't need your help, Aslan, I can..." Lin Feiyu's words were interrupted by a gunshot, and the three people in the room were all shocked - the gunshot was very close, it should be right at the hotel... No, it seems to be right under your feet!

"It's a double-barreled shotgun salvo!" Lin Feiyu quickly got up and pointed to the door: "Something happened in the lobby!" In the blink of an eye, Aslan had jumped out of the room and disappeared like a gust of wind, leaving only the big cloak that was torn off forcefully and spread on the ground. What an impatient woman—Lin Feiyu thought to himself, he turned around, and pressed Wang Qingyi's shoulders with both hands: "Stay here and don't move, understand?" "But!" The girl frowned, "Me!" "Lock the door! Use a chair to block it! Understand?" Lin Feiyu ignored the girl's argument at all: "Don't let anyone into the house except me!"

He knew the value of Wang Qingyi - this girl was Chaoxing's daughter, without her, it would be impossible for Wang Chaoxing to leave Paget Island.In other words, her life is as important as Chao Xing's life, which is directly related to the success or failure of the mission. But at least for now, this girl is a burden, and Lin Feiyu can't think of a better way to protect her than to let her stay in the house honestly. Just when Lin Feiyu turned around to leave, Wang Qingyi suddenly reached out and grabbed the cuff of his coat: "Are you...really here to take Dad and me home?"

Lin Feiyu returned a confident smile, which somewhat made the girl feel a little more at ease: "This is my job," he gently squeezed Wang Qingyi's soft shoulders: "So you wait here, understand?" As soon as he walked to the door, Lin Feiyu noticed the ashtray on the ground, and suddenly remembered something, turned around quickly, took out the 92-type pistol given by Chen Yang from the inner pocket of his coat, and handed it to the girl: "Take it." Wang Qingyi looked astonished: "This... this... is this a gun?" "Yes. Have you used it before?" The girl shook her hand violently, her face pale: "No, no, no! I haven't even touched it!" "That's right, learn to use it," Lin Feiyu smiled, and slapped the pistol on the bed forcefully: "This thing is better than an ashtray, really." The chandelier in the lobby was smashed by something, and only a few small lights were flickering, filling the whole environment with a dark and weird atmosphere. Aslan got on all fours and crept out of the corridor.She was completely black, wearing a hideous helmet, she looked like a ghost, like a monster who had just crawled into the world from hell, and she would feel creepy just by looking at it. But compared to Aslan's terrifying appearance, the tragedy in the lobby is even more shocking. On the marble floor, a half-meter-wide scarlet bloodstain stretched from the counter to the door. The shattered door creaked and shook slightly, sawdust scattered all over the floor, and even the exquisite gold-plated doorknob fell to the center of the hall. ——There is no doubt that no matter who broke the door, his strength must not be small. Not only did the door panel be completely torn, but the hinges on the wall were also torn off. Aslan carefully turned over the cabinet, but he couldn't see the lobby manager named Ron. Only his double-barreled shotgun fell to the ground, and it was also distorted, as if it had been severely hit by a sledgehammer. At this time, Lin Feiyu was still dawdling in the corridor on the third floor. The place was full of panicked Chinese tourists. When they heard the gunshots downstairs, they were even more frightened. They opened the door to wait and see, and they happened to see Lin Feiyu, a suspicious compatriot in a black trench coat. "Go back and stay inside!" Lin Feiyu pointed at the door of one of the houses and shouted loudly: "There are people killing people outside! Don't come out and wander around!" This Chinese sentence is incredibly lethal. All the tourists locked the door tightly as if they were avoiding the plague god, without thinking about "who is this man" or "is he telling the truth?" .Lin Feiyu showed a smug smirk, and ran downstairs along the corridor. When he saw Aslan, he was really shocked by her strange appearance. This cat-shaped "goblin" dressed in black was lying on all fours beside the counter.She pouted her buttocks, and her long tail looked like some kind of living animal, standing up high and swinging back and forth slightly.When Lin Feiyu walked down the stairs, his tail suddenly bent into a bow shape, and the tip of the tail seemed to have eyes, fixed on his chest. "Put your beautiful tail away, beauty," Lin Feiyu said with some disgust, "It makes me very uncomfortable, really." Aslan straightened up slowly, lifted his helmet, and walked up to him: "You're so slow." "Hey, let's be fair!" Lin Feiyu shrugged, "The person wearing the high-tech catgirl outfit is not me." This guy's words are really annoying, but Aslan is not in the mood to care about such trivial matters now: "The lobby manager is gone, and his shotgun was left here," she gestured behind her. "And I'm sure it has been shot. I don't know what hit it. Anyway, I didn't find the bullet." Just as Lin Feiyu was about to speak, he suddenly noticed bloodstains on the ground—horrible bloodstains that ran across the entire lobby. "My God, whose blood is this?" He pushed Aslan away, walked to the center of the hall in two steps, and saw the crooked door, and the answer was self-evident: "Don't tell me, Ron was sent through this door. dragged out?" "People, or something else?" "Then why are you standing here stupidly!" Lin Feiyu showed a rare sullen expression: "Why don't you chase it out? Why don't you chase it out as soon as you get down!" He complained, pushing open the incomplete door panel and rushing up avenue. As far as criminal investigation is concerned, Aslan has lost the best time to capture the "murderer" and made an unforgivable mistake in Lin Feiyu's view.After all, she is just a soldier, while Lin Feiyu is an "expert" in searching for clues - at least he thinks so. The bright moonlight sprinkled the entire street, and against the dark background, the intermittent bright red bloodstains on the ground were particularly dazzling. Aslan chased out of the hotel without saying a word, and followed Lin Feiyu, but always kept a distance of three or four meters.She is not really slow, but she has her own plans. The situation outside the hotel is still unclear, and she may just be ambushed by snipers if she rushes out rashly. It is obviously a wiser choice for tourists to take the lead and divert the opponent's attention. But obviously, this time she was worrying too much.The surroundings are still so quiet that people feel uncomfortable, not to mention snipers, they can't even see the shadow of half a living person, only the thick night surrounds them. Lin Feiyu wiped the blood stains on the road - there was still a little bit of warmth. "You can't run fast while dragging the corpse," Aslan pointed to the ground and said, "I can definitely catch up with my full strength!" Lin Feiyu shook his hand: "Don't. Think about it, Aslan, what do you think is dragging the body?" Aslan froze for a moment. She suddenly realized the logical contradiction hidden in this question-would a normal human being forcefully break into the hotel, attack the lobby manager, and then drag the corpse all over the street? "I'll follow quietly," Lin Feiyu said in a low voice, "You cover me in the dark, I..." He touched the pocket of his windbreaker, and suddenly remembered that he had thrown his 92-type pistol to Wang Qingyi: "I'm still going to cover You, um, that's it, you go ahead." The bloodstains changed from surface to line, and from line to dotted red spots, extending to the end of the main street, changing direction in front of an alley, and turning in. The two stood firmly against the wall and stood still at the entrance of the alley. Aslan made an internationally accepted military gesture to Lin Feiyu, signaling him to stay where he was.Without waiting for the other party to respond, she suddenly jumped up, climbed onto the balcony, touched the roof of the second floor, and disappeared from sight without a sound. "I don't have a sense of cooperation at all," Lin Feiyu sighed softly, raised his head and frowned, and said to himself, "I still like Chinese girls..." Of course he didn't want to stay where he was and wait for the result. Although he didn't have a weapon in his hand, if he just "looked" at it, he shouldn't be in any danger—— Big mistake. The scene in the dark alley made Lin Feiyu gasp. Even he, who thought he was well-informed, was so frightened that he couldn't help himself.The explosive fear ran down the spine, from the soles of the feet to the forehead, turned into bean-sized sweat beads on the forehead, and fell down the cheeks to the chest. He didn't know how to describe the monster in front of him—— The first word imprinted in my mind is "red" -- the "red" that diffuses under the night and is as hazy as the morning mist.It is like fine sand blown up by the wind, like steaming and swaying fireworks, it constantly changes shape, wraps the monster's body, and at the same time illuminates the dark alley. The strange sound of "hissing" echoed in my ears, it was really scary.Lin Feiyu suppressed the trembling from all parts of his body, swallowed his saliva, and slowly moved forward two steps, which allowed him to see the whole picture of the monster lying on the ground. Under the cover of that piece of red tulle, a big black and gray dog ​​with its tail cocked up was biting something, making intermittent rattling noises.And on its back—this is the most unbelievable place, there are countless large and small "red stones" shaped like crystals embedded in it, and the red mist floating around its body comes from this layer of "crystals". "Stone Skin" spewed out, like some kind of chemical agent that would volatilize. The monster seemed to be aware of Lin Feiyu's approach. It raised its neck, raised its head, moved its nose slightly, and slowly turned its face around, grinning at Lin Feiyu. Lin Feiyu couldn't help jumping back a small step.Aside from the abnormality behind it, the face of the monster looks like an ordinary wolfhound, but for some reason, it is full of suffocating oppression - its eyes are shining red, and the corners of its mouth are drooling , murderous, pressing every step of the way, as if just a simple look at each other can put people to death. The monster never uttered a sound, but the annoying "hissing" sound in the air still lingered. Lin Feiyu found that the sound did not come from the dog itself, but from the red crystal stone on its back—— It may be some unexplained resonance, which sounds like meat roasting on an iron grill. Lin Feiyu tried his best to adjust his breathing, and slowly moved back. He began to regret that he had thrown the only weapon to Wang Qingyi just now, so that when he took out his pocket, what he touched was his thigh. Why are you so scared?Why is it so frightening? Lin Feiyu... Isn't this exactly your job? He stood still and forced himself to calm down. No matter how you look at it, the opponent is just a medium-sized hybrid wolfhound. As a trained professional agent, if he encounters a dog and wants to run away, it would be too embarrassing. up. Seeing that Lin Feiyu stopped retreating, the monster with crystals arched its back, lowered its forehead, and assumed a posture that was about to launch a pounce. Just at this moment, Aslan, who fell from the sky, landed heavily between Lin Feiyu and the "big dog". The monster hesitated for a moment, then jumped up immediately, and rushed towards the uninvited guest in front of him with its bloody mouth wide open. Aslan twisted his waist, spun around on the spot, and hit the monster's face with a beautiful side kick, knocked it over in the air, and slammed it hard against the wall.Since it was on the ground on its back, the crystal stone made a crisp sound—this made Lin Feiyu more convinced that the texture of the crystal must be very solid, and it could never be something like a sarcoma or old skin. "My God!" Through the helmet's sounder, Aslang's voice was extremely loud, "What the hell is this?" "God is not in the service area, beauty," Lin Feiyu, who also had a trembling voice, still joked: "As for this guy, I thought it was some kind of relative of your family." "Its heartbeat rate is exaggerated..." Perhaps because of fear, Aslan leaned against Lin Feiyu instinctively: "It's as fast as a motor." "I can't see the heartbeat, but don't you think its back is more exaggerated?" The monster seemed to have no intention of attacking again, but stood still, staring at Aslan three steps away with blood-red eyes. The red mist surrounding its body slowly gathered, swaying like will-o'-the-wisp, The evil spirit is pressing. "Have you seen such a thing before?" Lin Feiyu whispered, "Could it be some rare species from Paget Island?" "Whatever it is now!" Aslan leaned down, his claws unsheathed: "Anyway, it will turn into a pile of dead meat in ten seconds!" I don't know if it was really intimidated by Aslan's murderous aura, or because it was a little exhausted, the monster suddenly turned its head around, leaned against the wall, and climbed up to the eaves. It was clumsier than expected, but it climbed anyway. "Don't let it get away!" With a roar, Aslan stepped on the wall, using his hands and feet together, and jumped onto the roof at a speed many times faster than the monster.She turned her face, waved to Lin Feiyu, and then turned back to chase the monster, leaving only an eager "follow me!" Lin Feiyu touched the wall and grabbed a handful of crushed lime. He blankly glanced at the eaves four or five meters high, and heard the sound of Aslan's "crackling" running away, shaking his face helplessly. shook his head: "Follow me, do you think I have claws too?" He knew very well that even if he climbed up in a hurry—it was not a difficult task for him, and it was impossible to keep up with Aslan's skill, he might as well stay and see what other clues he could find. With the monster's departure, the red mist that permeated the alley gradually thinned, but it still glowed faintly, like countless fireflies flying up and down in the darkness.Looking carefully, it seems that there is a layer of tiny particles attached to the surface of the red mist. Lin Feiyu waved his palm and grabbed it, and found that there were indeed some very special "dust" in his hand. It felt like a beach. The fine sand that has just been exposed to the sun is smooth and warm. Next was the corpse on the ground—although it was beyond recognition, judging from the shirt and trousers, he should be the unlucky lobby manager Ron.The monster tore open his chest and flanks, and the bright red blood and pulp smeared all over the floor. It was somewhat similar to the unknown female corpse I saw in the jungle before, and it was basically determined that it was the same "murderer"—— This is an unbelievably dangerous beast. Regardless of its strange appearance, its habits alone make people shudder—it forages during the day and hunts at night; it wanders in the depths of the jungle, and dares to attack houses and villages ; Not only is it amazingly powerful, but also extremely ferocious, with a strong desire to attack. "What a vacation paradise..." Lin Feiyu whispered to himself, squatting down to examine the corpse carefully.He found that there were obvious ring-shaped bite marks on Ron's ankle—this should be the mark left when he was dragged by the monster, and most of the internal organs had disappeared, and the abdominal cavity was a mess like mud, which seemed to be the result of being dragged by a monster. Deliberate destruction, if it was purely because of hunger, it should not have reached this point. "Huh? This is?" Suddenly, Lin Feiyu found something unusual on the corpse, so he reached out to confirm it. He immediately regretted it.
