We were worried all the way, but we didn't see any trace of the Nian Beast along the way. The monster was hiding in the darkness, maybe waiting to attack us, or maybe it had given up and left.

Chen Yihan received no news. Nangong Yao did not see the Nian Beast from the surveillance. The police inspected the surveillance frame by frame, but did not find the Nian Beast. He did not remember the call again. The Nian Beast seemed to have completely disappeared.

The police car turned and drove into the training ground of the police station. The training ground was brightly lit, but no one was seen or any sound was heard.

Chen Yihan's voice came from his phone, "The police car will leave later, and only me, Nangong Yao, Gu Mo, and snipers are left behind in the training ground. You follow the police car into the parking lot, change to the bulletproof car, there is automatic navigation inside, and you will drive to the designated location. The next thing to do is wait."

I looked at the fat man.

The fat man wiped sweat from his head and followed the police car into the underground parking lot. As soon as our car entered, the parking lot lowered the mobile door. The parking lot was also turned on with lights, empty, and only one police car was parked.

The police car in front stopped and two policemen got out.

"Just this car, you guys go up and navigate here." The policeman said.

The fat man and I changed the car obediently. He listened to the policeman explaining how to use navigation and automatic driving. He taught me the environmental structure and available escape channels in the training ground.

"This is a bulletproof vest, I will not give you the gun, it will be dangerous if you hold it. This is a dagger. If something happens, you can use this. The baton is hung here and pull it out directly."

The two policemen patiently taught us some skills. Finally, they patted us on the shoulders.

I don’t know how Chen Yihan told these policemen, but judging from their appearance, I must know the existence of the Nian Beast. I don’t know that they are looking at us two "ordinary citizens". The current situation is really subtle, but it’s not the time to talk about these things.

"You guys are careful."

"So too."

The two policemen did not get into the police car, but went to the stairwell next to them.

The fat man and I sat in the police car and looked at each other.

The walkie-talkie on the police car was on the entire journey.

"Can it work?" the fat man asked.

Chen Yihan said lightly: "If you don't work, think of another solution. We will give priority to your life safety."

The fat man took a deep breath and started the police car.

After leaving the exit on the other side of the parking lot, the police car entered the autonomous driving mode, the steering wheel automatically rotated and slowly drove to the center of the training ground. The police should have designed the device on the police car. After the vehicle stopped, a muffled sound came from under the hood, and a few wisps of black smoke came out and immediately dispersed, as if the car suddenly broke down and turned off.

The fat man and I were frozen and didn't move. There were only the two of us in the car, and the sound of breathing was heavy.

The Nian Beast is obviously a wise monster with some "character" characters. Such a trick may not be able to fool it, but everything is arranged and the car is stupid enough to stop it, which is obviously even more unreliable.

This simple plan is really because we don’t have that much time.

If you delay for one minute or one second, you will have a little more danger.

I pray that the Nian Beast can appear and be killed quickly, and put an end to this matter temporarily. I can try to find the ghosts killed by the Nian Beast in the future and find ways to change the past.

In any case, killing it here is the first step in the plan. The first step in the first step is the appearance of the New Year beast.

However, until dawn, I didn't see the Nian Beast.

I was so nervous that I had been experiencing the death of the fat man. I was really tired.

"Didn't you see it?" I asked Chen Yihan.

"No." Chen Yihan's voice was deep.

"What about other places?" I asked again.

“No one died.”

I couldn't understand, "Is it... there is a limit to eating? Or is it a limit to the time it is active?"

There are only two possibilities I can think of.

"We don't know this." Nangong Yao's voice appeared on the walkie-talkie, and I seemed to hear Gu Mo yawning.

Nangong Yao continued: "This is the first time we have encountered the New Year beast entering the reproduction period and showing its original body. Before, Wu Ling had investigated. Basically, every time it appears, it will kill at least a dozen people. The activity time ranges from New Year's Eve to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The inference in the circle is that double-digit people are not enough to accumulate enough energy to reproduce, just like the estrus period of animals. Although it has estrus, it has not completed the purpose of mating and pregnancy, and can only wait for the next time."

"A dozen people are not enough?" I gritted my teeth.

Nangong Yao was very calm, "In ancient times, it was said that it would eat everyone in a village. Even considering the population density and village pattern at that time, there were at least dozens or hundreds of people. It should have to eat at least twenty or thirty people to meet its own energy needs. Of course, this is the situation in ancient times. Nowadays, it has evolved, but it still retains some of the characteristics of its ancestors. We can only make a guess on how much food it takes for the annual beast to reproduce."

I had no choice but to accept Nangong Yao's statement and asked, "What about now? We have to stay until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?"

"If it's just like this, we should laugh." Gu Mo said.

I have to admit that what Gu Mo said makes sense. If it were just like this, it would seem that we were safe and could continue to be peaceful for more than ten years or decades until the beast enters the next reproduction period.

But I was a little unwilling to accept it. The headless corpse that fell on the ground and the dazzling blood... The most important thing is that the provocation of the Nian Beast was unable to mind. There was a breath of anger in my chest circling and rushing against my body.

"There are food and water in the back seat, and urine bags." Chen Yihan said, adding, "No matter what you do, you have to report to me. You two must also take turns to take shifts and stay alert at all times. If we need to change shifts here, we will remind you."

"good."

I asked the fat man to look at it, turned around, stretched out his hand and took the two bags in the back seat. The bag contained water and dry food. In this case, it was impossible for us to eat and drink. I have never used the urine bag before. I took the plastic bag and looked carefully at the instructions above.

This situation is really awkward, but we can't drive away directly at this moment. At least, we should wait a little longer and not waste this precious first trap.

After more than ten hours in the car, the Nian Beast never appeared.

Compared to us, Chen Yihan's place is even less relaxed.

If the New Year Beast does not appear here, it is likely that it will go to other places.

I can't be distracted from looking at my phone, but I think the successive cases of the dead ends last night have caused a lot of trouble on the Internet, and may have caused huge panic in Minqing City. The police station and the government should be busy. A few people who know the truth must collapse. Things like Nian Beast... are very fantastic no matter what they think.
