C9 The Footsteps above His Head

As a matter of fact, there was no need for Zhang Liang to remind the two security guards. After the door opened, they could not help but feel nervous. There was no other reason. Such a scene was too intimidating.

The messy houses, the missing people, and the collapsed bookshelves were covered in dust.

Of course, the most important thing was still the deep darkness.

However, Zhang Liang's reminder slowed down this fear. After all, a real "mental patient" was definitely easier to accept than those mysterious and mysterious things.

Zhang Liang was more familiar with the situation in the shop than the two of them. He and Lin Bahn followed behind them and pressed the light button on the wall on the right side.

"Ka!" There was no response.

Not only that, Zhang Liang could not see any other colors in the room besides the flashlight and the light from his phone. Obviously, the old bookstore had run out of power. It was possible that the circuit was damaged or the switch was broken. Of course, there was also the possibility that they didn't pay the electricity bill.

"Bang, go outside and see if the circuit has been closed." Zhang Liang reminded him. Then, he bent down and picked up the books and scattered pieces of paper that had fallen to the ground.

This was indeed an account, but Zhang Liang did not see any records of the goods he had purchased a few days ago.

He flipped a few pages forward. From the accounts, he could tell that this old bookstore had a lot of old teaching materials, which should have been poured down along with the bookshelves.

He continued to flip forward and Zhang Liang successfully found his name. This was the day he got the Saw Cleaver and hunter badge.

From the last account to this day, there were a total of three records of goods being purchased. This was in line with the information Zhang Liang had obtained.

"What is this?"

As the paper flipped, Zhang Liang suddenly found a black mark on the top right corner of one of the pages.

It looked like some stains had accidentally touched or spilled into the notebook when he was recording accounts.

He didn't dare to touch the stain with his finger. Instead, he carefully brought it close to his nose and sniffed it.

"As expected..." After recognizing this unique scent, Zhang Liang immediately cursed in his heart.

This was a blood stain. After such a long time, the traces of this blood had already dispersed his own scent, but the subtle difference was still keenly noticed by Zhang Liang.

"Judging from the cycle, this smell seems to be quite common in Yanam." Zhang Liang searched his brain and closed the notebook. "This kind of smell is produced in the early stages of the TransFur Disease, but it will not have much effect on the patient."

"According to everyone's different constitutions, the performance in the early stages of the TransFur Disease will also be different. Those with weaker constitutions may have nosebleeds."

"At this stage, the antidote from the Healing Church can effectively cure the illness of this Cyan Blood. Furthermore, this stage will be maintained for a long period of time until the arrival of the Night Of Hunting and the TransFur Disease undergo a mutation."

Zhang Liang made a judgment in his heart." In that case, when the hunter badge was transferred to me, the owner of the bookstore might have already been infected with a slight TransFur Disease. However, he didn't have the antidotes to suppress it. So, according to the normal time, I'm afraid that he has already consumed the TransFur. "

After coming to this conclusion, Zhang Liang didn't dare to harbor any hopes of getting lucky. He still didn't know the origin of the TransFur Disease. Even in the Yanam of Dreamland, no one had found the source of this terrifying illness. But no matter what, it was not a good thing to be injured by a TransFur Disease patient.

"Big brothers, let's go out first?" Zhang Liang opened his mouth and greeted them. He felt that he shouldn't stay in this place any longer. After all, he had the most direct understanding of the lethality and attack power of the TransFur, but the 'perspective' he used before was a hunter born to hunt. Zhang Liang didn't think that he could fight these half-human and half-beast monsters just by relying on some half-real and half-fake memories of Dreamland.

"What?" One of the security guards replied. He didn't seem to have heard what Zhang Liang said. With the help of their flashlights, Zhang Liang could confirm that the two of them were at two ends of the bookstore.

He confirmed that there was nothing on the first floor. There were only two overturned bookshelves and books on the floor.

"Why is it in such a mess?" A voice came from behind Zhang Liang. It was Lin Bahn. He checked the electric switch and returned to the bookstore. "The power switch is good. It seems like they didn't pay the electricity bill. Or the circuit in the store has been destroyed."

At this moment, one of the shorter security guards had arrived at the stairs leading to the second floor. He was using a flashlight to illuminate the stairs.

"What's up there?"

He turned around and asked Zhang Liang and Zhang Liang.

Lin Bahn answered. "There's a photocopy room, a bedroom, and a bathroom upstairs. The owner of this shop often lives in the shop."

"Oh, then he should be up there." The security guard nodded and then called his companions. The two of them walked upstairs one after another.

However, when they stepped onto the stairs leading to the second floor, a series of rapid sounds suddenly came from above everyone's heads. It sounded like something was running around in a hurry.

"There's someone here!"

This thought popped up in everyone's minds at the same time. The two security guards immediately quickened their footsteps and ran towards the second floor along the stairs.

"The door is locked!" The person in front twisted the door handle and realized that it could not be opened. He immediately knocked on the door twice. Is anyone there? Open the door. We are from the University Town Security Office!"

This door was locked from the inside. Even if there was a key, it could not be opened. After the sound of footsteps earlier, there was no longer any movement on the second floor.

No matter how they knocked on the door, the person on the second floor did not respond. Zhang Liang continued to observe the first floor of the bookstore. He wanted to find some useful information.

There were too many books on the ground, so he had to be careful when walking. These stacked books, combined with the dark room and a thin layer of dust, could slip when walking.

"I remember that there should be a computer here, right?" Zhang Liang tried his best to recall the furnishings in the shop. In his memory, when there were no customers in the shop, the boss might not stay at the counter, but ran to the computer on the other side and surfed the internet.

However, when Zhang Liang came to the computer, he found that the screen of the computer had been violently smashed open. Even the mainframe was lying beside it.

Without a doubt, this computer couldn't be turned on. However, Zhang Liang didn't intend to let this matter rest. The mainframe seemed to be in good condition. In other words, the hard drive inside shouldn't have been damaged.

"Bang, come and give me a hand." Zhang Liang called out softly. Then, he sent the light to the main computer and tried to open it.

Lin Bahn naturally saw through Zhang Liang's thoughts. After seeing the situation in the bookstore, Lin Bahn naturally did not think that Zhang Liang was messing around. Normal people would definitely not make the house look like this, not to mention that all the signs showed that the whole thing was abnormal.

"What should we do?"

"Let's disassemble the hard drive and take it back for research." Zhang Liang handed the phone to Lin Bahn for him to help light up the phone. He lifted the lid of the case by himself.

"It's stuck?" Zhang Liang looked at the case doubtfully and exerted force again. However, the lid of the case seemed to be completely embedded and could not be opened at all.

Lin Bahn pointed to the side of the box. "Look here."

Zhang Liang followed his finger and looked. Judging from the dent, there was a dent on the side of the box. It should have been left behind by a person's palm.

"Oh my god, the Cloud Slashing Palm?" Lin Bahn exclaimed.

Zhang Liang rolled his eyes at him. "Why didn't you mention the Wind God's Kick?"

"You're so weak. You can't even tell the difference between your feet and your palms?" Lin Bahn mocked. He raised his hand to let the light shine on the stamp. The stamp was almost one centimeter deep, and even the edges of the box changed shape after the slap.

However, the other thing next to it caught their attention.

It was a lamp tube, along with the metal shell outside the lamp tube. The entire lamp tube fell to the ground just like that. The glass on top of it had already shattered, dust and debris mixed into the crack, and the wires connecting the lamp tube were violently torn apart, now powerlessly lying on one side.

"He's crazy. He tore down the computer and the lights. Will he become a boor after he goes crazy? " Lin Bahn forced a smile. The lamp tube was clearly "torn" off, and even the wires used for fixing it and the wires behind were destroyed. This was definitely not a strength that a normal person could use.

Moreover, this floor was at least two meters tall, right?

"Pata... Pata..."

The footsteps from before were heard once again, but this time, it seemed to be clearer than before.

The two security guards who had been trying to get the people on the second floor to open the door also stopped. Although the footsteps were very light and slow, it was enough for them to think that... This was the sound of the person hiding on the second floor coming over to open the door.

"Pata."

The sound stopped abruptly. Zhang Liang's entire body tensed up. He smelled an extremely fresh smell of Beast Transformation Blood, and the source of that smell...

As if he had sensed something, Zhang Liang snatched the phone and dialed the light beam to the ceiling. At the same time, there were two flashlights in the hands of the two security guards.

The three lights merged together and finally illuminated the source of the "footstep."

It was a shadow lying on the ceiling. The moment Zhang Liang saw its face clearly, his hair stood on end. He lifted his leg and kicked Lin Bahn, then he fell back.

The wind carried the scent of a wild beast. A bookshelf in the middle of the first floor fell down along with the wild beast. The book on it fell down, and dust kept drifting under the light.
