Chapter 020(1/2)
On the night of October 23, 2439, Fenghua District, Xindu, Dongguo
Chen Chuyao has been dozing off, but she is still trying to get angry.
"Yaoyao, go to bed! It's already late!"
Mom looked at Chen Chuyao who was holding back her sleep and persuaded her softly.
"No! I'm going to wait for dad to come back."
Chen Chuyao said firmly, but his eyes looked a little confused compared to his firm tone.
"Dad's work will end!" Mom patiently persuaded again.
Chen Chuyao's father is a computer expert. He is busy with work and often works overtime. However, Chen Chuyao has to wait for his father to arrive home every day and asks him to tell stories before he is willing to go to bed.
"I don't! I'm going to wait for dad to come back!"
Chen Chuyao said stubbornly with her chubby little face,
"Okay! Mom is waiting with you!" Mom said with a smile, sitting on the sofa, holding the little Chen Chuyao in her arms.
After only a moment, Chen Chuyao, who could no longer resist the sleepiness, couldn't wait until her father came back and fell asleep...
"Bang!"
The sudden sound alerted Chen Chuyao who was sleeping and was confused to find that it should be in his room.
The bedroom door was pushed open suddenly, and a figure quickly entered the room and came to Chen Chuyao's bed.
"Yaoyao...!Yaoyao...!
The figure said anxiously while approaching. Chen Chuyao rubbed her eyes, looked at the person who came, and murmured in a low voice: "Dad! You are back! Why are you..."
Before Chen Chuyao could finish her words, she was picked up from the bed by her father.
"Yaoyao, don't make a sound! Dad will take you out of here!"
Chen Chuyao was still a little confused, but she always listened to her father's words the most. At this time, when she heard her father's anxious tone, she suddenly became nervous.
Chen Chuyao obediently hugged her father's neck and was held by her father and rushed out of the house.
"Where is Mom?!"
Chen Chuyao felt her father's nervousness and anxiety and asked worriedly.
"Mom...Mom...She's gone!"
My father said something vaguely, but his steps were still rushing towards the door.
Chen Chuyao was frightened by her father's words, but she did not cry, as if she was affected by her father's nervousness. She always hugged her father's neck tightly and forced herself to not cry.
But at this moment, through the window, I saw a tall figure walking towards the door in the dark yard.
Chen Chuyao's father discovered this situation and immediately ran towards the inner room.
At this moment, the tall figure broke into the door. In a daze, Chen Chuyao crossed his father's shoulder and saw the burly figure that was much taller than the door.
What is incredible is that the human-shaped monster actually has four knotted arms. The door in his hand was like a toy in the house, and was torn into two halves by two arms that were symmetrically growing on their shoulders.
.
"Dad...Dad..."
Chen Chuyao wanted to tell her father the horrifying scene she saw, but except for keeping calling her father, she couldn't say a word, so she had to use all her strength to hug her father's neck tightly.
Chen Chuyao's father came to the bedroom and before he could think about it, he stuffed Chen Chuyao into the corner of the wardrobe.
"Yaoyao! No matter what happens outside, you don't want to come out! You must not come out! Do you understand?" Dad stared at Chen Chuyao solemnly and said anxiously.
"Dad...Dad..." Chen Chuyao kept chanting in a crying voice.
"Yaoyao! Remember! Don't come out no matter what!"
After saying that, Dad closed the wardrobe door without saying a word.
Chen Chuyao realized her situation. She had always listened to her father's words the most, and her father's instructions were echoing in her ears at this moment.
So, Chen Chuyao covered her ears with both hands, buried her head on her knees, and curled up in the corner of the wardrobe, as if this could separate herself from the terrifying world outside the wardrobe...
I don’t know how long it took, but someone opened the wardrobe door.
"Hey?! There is a child here!"
Even though Chen Chuyao covered her ears with both hands, she still heard the surprised words of the person who was close to her.
At a loss, Chen Chuyao trembled timidly and looked up at the person who was looking at her. She was a young man in a shirt.
At this moment, several more people came here after hearing the young man's words.
The man in the lead is about 30 years old and is wearing a somewhat wrinkled suit.
"Section Chief! There is a little girl in this wardrobe!"
The young man looked at the middle-aged man and said again.
The middle-aged man approached Chen Chuyao, took out the police's ID solemnly, and then said as softly as possible in a hoarse voice: "Hello! We are policemen! Don't be afraid!"
Chen Chuyao looked at the man who was talking to her and heard the word "police" that made her feel at ease. Finally, she couldn't help but cry out "Wow!".
The middle-aged man hurriedly picked up Chen Chuyao from the closet, and a female policeman also came forward to try to comfort Chen Chuyao.
It took a quarter of an hour before Chen Chuyao gradually calmed down.
"Little girl, where are your parents?"
The middle-aged policeman asked tentatively.
"Mom... seems to be dead!" Chen Chuyao said in a tender voice: "Dad... let me hide in the closet... can't come out."
A young policeman next to him heard Chen Chuyao's words and immediately said in surprise: "This is impossible! If someone is killed, why is there no early warning for the crime index!"
Another policeman also showed a puzzled expression and said, "Did the little girl make a mistake? She must have been frightened!"
The middle-aged policeman waved his hand to signal the other people to be quiet, and still solemnly said to Chen Chuyao: "Little girl, can you tell me what happened?"
Chen Chuyao stared at the middle-aged policeman and was silent for a moment, then repeated what happened to the evening.
"What? Four-armer man?!"
"The little girl must be frightened!"
Everyone was in agitation again, and obviously everyone did not believe what Chen Chuyao said.
"Quiet!" The middle-aged policeman stopped him again, and said to everyone: "Cheerly check the entire house and don't let any clues go!"
"Yes! Section Chief."
Several policemen immediately responded and hurried to inspect the scene.
The middle-aged policeman looked at Chen Chuyao again and returned to his kind voice and said, "Little girl, we came here after receiving a call from our neighbors and saw the damaged door."
The middle-aged policeman paused, observed Chen Chuyao's expression, and saw that she was still confused, and continued to say with some difficulty: "But we did not see your parents, nor did we see you."
The monster with four hands."
"Uncle policeman, where are my parents?" Chen Chuyao asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, little girl, we will do our best to find your parents!" the middle-aged policeman comforted.
"Thank you, uncle police!"
Chen Chuyao thanked obediently, with tears in her eyes.
The middle-aged policeman handed Chen Chuyao to a female policewoman and devoted himself to the investigation.
Given the many abnormal situations now, his heart was as full of confusion as his colleagues.
After the on-site investigation, the police were surprised to find that apart from the damaged door, no valuable clues were left on the scene.
"Section Chief, we have checked it. There is no trace of any so-called four-handed monster?!"
"It's really that kid is talking nonsense, right?"
The middle-aged policeman shook his head solemnly and said, "No! It is true that we did not find traces of the four-handed monster, but don't you think the fingerprints and footprints left by the parents of the little girls in this house are also abnormal?"
"Section Chief, do you mean someone has cleaned up the scene?" A policeman said in surprise: "Then is this a current criminal?! Why doesn't the super artificial intelligence warn the crime index?"
"The strange place in the whole incident is here." The middle-aged policeman frowned and continued: "Immediately apply to Super Artificial Intelligence in the name of missing population to unlock all data from the little girl's parents!"
"Okay, section chief!"
A policeman responded and immediately initiated an application.
After a while, the police officer in charge of issuing the application found the middle-aged policeman and said, "Section Chief, the application we submitted has been approved to unlock the data of the little girl's parents."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged policeman immediately asked anxiously: "How is it? Are there two people's whereabouts?"
Usually, super artificial intelligence can provide useful clues to help the police find the missing person, but this time the incident is always weird, which inevitably makes middle-aged policemen worry.
"Section Chief, Super Artificial Intelligence has not found any data about the two people's disappearance!" The policeman said in disbelief: "Section Chief, is this the legendary shadow man?"
"What?!No data?!"
It was the first time that the middle-aged policeman encountered the so-called "shadow man". He couldn't help but show a look of fear and confusion.
