Chapter 095: The scary little fishing village!
It's approaching noon.
In a restaurant, two men were sitting at the table, neither of them speaking.
Li Heng looked at the man in front of him. He was wearing a beige windbreaker. He also wore a hat and sunglasses when he came. He didn't know what his job was.
After all, the two have rarely contacted each other since graduating from junior high school.
After a while, Shen Shaoyan suddenly spoke.
"Li Heng, this matter is a bit complicated, and I don't know where to start with you, but please believe what I say."
Li Heng nodded, "Well, you go ahead."
Shen Shaoyan took a deep breath, "After graduating from high school, I went to work for a small newspaper with little reputation. I usually either cover celebrity scandals or follow the trend to promote them."
"The work situation has always been tepid because the salary is too low. Occasionally I take on private detective work to earn some extra money."
"One day, an old classmate came to me. She was also in our class in junior high school. The girl named Liu Jiayi."
"She said her boyfriend has been acting weird lately. He doesn't have skin-to-skin contact with her, and he usually avoids her."
"She suspected that her boyfriend was having an affair with someone else and asked me to investigate."
"Because of being an old classmate, she severely slashed my price. The pay was not much, but I still took the job."
"In the next few days, I secretly followed her boyfriend."
"During this period, I discovered that her boyfriend was working at sea. He would go out to sea with a fishing boat on the third day of every month and would come back in about fifteen days. It was a break for the first half of the month."
"I can probably make about 40,000 to 50,000 yuan a month."
"I couldn't follow the ship, so I watched it a few times at the port. During this period, I asked for a lot of information at the port."
"They said that the fishing boat was the most impressive among them. It could return home with a full load every time. In half a month, it could bring back a harvest that other fishing boats could not match in two or three months."
"And they're pretty punctual, almost rain or shine."
"In addition, the fishing boat would stop in front of a small fishing village for a day every time before docking, and the people on the boat would get off. It's unclear what they were doing."
"Things are normal so far. I told our old classmate about these things, and she paid me another sum of money and asked me to go to the small fishing village to investigate."
"She didn't bargain this time. I thought to myself, the reward would be worth it just to visit the small fishing village."
"And this is the beginning of my nightmare."
"Just because I went to that place, I have been having nightmares for seven days in a row!"
"For seven days, I tossed and turned every night and couldn't sleep, because as soon as I closed my eyes, I could hear the sound of wet footsteps and the hoarse cries of ghosts and wolves!"
"Did you see the dark circles under my eyes? As of last night, I had not had a good night's sleep. I was haunted by nightmares for seven days!"
As Shen Shaoyan spoke, he gradually became a little more excited. Li Heng calmly took a sip of coffee and said, "Well, let's first talk about what you encountered."
Shen Shaoyan sighed, "I...I didn't find anything unusual after I went to that small fishing village. They were all fishermen there."
"The fishermen in the small fishing village are very honest and friendly to others. Every household is drying fish. Except for the fishy smell, there is nothing unusual."
"I said I wanted to stay here for two days, and those people were very enthusiastic, and they were all vying to receive me."
"That night, I ate a lot of local seafood and listened to a family talk about the hardships of their lives."
"I had a relatively good night, but in the early hours of the morning, I suddenly heard footsteps."
"There was a sound of wet footsteps. I sat up and looked out the window in confusion. Guess what I saw?"
"That's a thing covered in scales with two big yellow balls on top, like a fish-man!"
"I really can't put a finger on that thing. It was very late at that time and I couldn't see clearly, but I could vaguely sense that it was an ugly, inhuman, and abominable thing."
"When I saw him, I just felt a chill, and then there were more and more footsteps!"
"Can you believe it? People from the little fish village came out one after another. Their faces quickly grew scales and fins, and then they turned into abominations that looked like fish-men!"
"That's when I realized that all the people in the small fishing village, regardless of men, women, old or young, were monsters!"
"I didn't dare to look again after that, and I heard a sound that sounded like teeth grinding or bone grinding coming from outside!"
"They were muttering and murmuring, as if they were discussing how to cook me!"
"I felt nauseous and almost vomited everything I ate at night."
Li Heng said: "Then you ran away?"
Shen Shaoyan said excitedly: "Of course I ran away, why don't I run away and wait to die?"
"But this process was not as smooth as you think. I climbed out of the window and ran all the way into the woods."
"But they noticed it quickly!"
"They roared and cried like all kinds of demons and monsters!"
"They found me almost instantly!"
"I was running in the forest, and my hands and feet were cut by thorns, but I didn't feel any pain. My limbs were cold, and I was so scared that I almost peed."
"Their footsteps were very fast, and their roars and cries echoed in the forest like wolves howling and ghostly cries. Not to mention how scary they were!"
"Then I suddenly fell down, just like my hands and feet couldn't control my movements and I fell down!"
"Those things caught up with me instantly and I thought I was going to die!"
"As a result, at that time, the moon suddenly turned red. You know, everyone knows about the blood moon incident!"
"But the blood moon comes later over here in Asia than over in North America."
"When the bloody moonlight fell, I felt that the world was like an absurd horror movie!"
"But those things were all stunned after seeing the blood moon. They all stopped moving and just stared at the moon blankly!"
"I struggled to get up and kept running until I couldn't run anymore!"
"I just remember that I fell on the side of a highway. I don't know who picked me up and took me to the hospital."
"Anyway, after that, I had nightmares for seven days in a row!"
Li Heng put down his cup after hearing this, "Why do you want to tell me this?"
Shen Shaoyan looked directly into Li Heng's eyes, "From the moment I knew this world was no longer ordinary, weird things started happening one after another."
"First the fish-men, then the vampires."
As he spoke, Shen Shaoyan suddenly took out a photo.
Above is a man with red eyes and fangs.
"It was also by chance that I met vampires. They seemed to be looking for someone. I installed a listening device in the place where they often hang out, and accidentally heard some information."
"They are looking for a man named Li Heng."
"I think I also know a man named Li Heng."
Hearing this, Li Heng turned his head and looked at Shen Shaoyan, "So?"
Shen Shaoyan took a deep breath, "You are the blood prince, right?"
"no."
"There are many people named Li Heng. Maybe it's just a coincidence."
"Yes, there are many people named Li Heng, but you are the only Li Heng who came back from abroad."
"I don't mean anything else, brother, if you still treat me as a classmate..."
"It's impossible for me to transform you into a vampire."
Shen Shaoyan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, "No, that's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?"
"I want to go to the small fishing village again. If I can't figure out what those things are, I probably won't get out of this nightmare in my life."
Li Heng sighed, "Can I refuse?"
Shen Shaoyan suddenly held Li Heng's hand, "Please, brother, for the sake of being an old classmate!"
Li Heng stood up, and Shen Shaoyan quickly chased after him, "Brother, if you want to think about it again, I can give you money, I..."
Li Heng looked at him and said, "Let's go."
Shen Shaoyan was stunned, "Ah, where are you going?"
"Didn't you say you would go to a small fishing village? Go and have a look."
