"That really sounds tough for you, having to worry about your brothers even while your tail's on fire..."Ansheng turned back from a stunned expression, and looked at Old Jin with a face full of mixed emotions.
The lioness at home has turned into a lion, and Old Jin just silently let himself go to rescue Eye King, dealing with the most urgent matters first before bleakly voicing his grievances.
"Meow....."
Old Jin proudly raised his head, for from ancient times, male lions generally don't participate in hunting, with the biggest task being to defend the territory and protect the safety of the lionesses and cubs.
But thinking about the lion at home, it should be roaring with pride, instead, it has honestly turned into a cat's meow.
"Xiaolan, should we... call the police?" Ah Qing asked the little fox with a face of daze.
She heard Old Jin's words, and it was precisely because she heard the whole thing that she was frightened.
A vague black shadow attacked, and in an instant reverse yin and yang were completed in refining. This is not about being scared, it's needing to think about how to reasonably change the ID card.
Defeated in one move, the even household registration book blew up.
"On my turf, should I avoid its edge? Old Jin, go get me a shovel!"
"If I can't take it down in three seconds, consider me a failure!"
Ansheng raised the small hand of the fox, indicating to Ah Qing not to worry about the gender on her ID card.
With the upcoming opening of Qingao Island, Chen Zhiyu had invited him before the trial run precisely to eliminate safety hazards, right?
If that spirit beast is not dealt with today, will I be opening a hospital or a resort tomorrow?
What fisherman can endure, paying for a fishing trip and leaving empty-handed, while their nap remains in the sea fishing spot; they haven't eaten the black shadow spirit beast's rice at home.
"Old Jin, lead the way, bring out all the recordings during the incident for me."
Ansheng waved his big hand, signaling Old Jin to walk in front and lead the way, determined to find the real culprit.
"Roar!"
Old Jin received the order and immediately led Master Fuli on a quick run to the monitoring room of Qingao Island.
Ah Qing held the little fox and went to the surveillance room on the mezzanine of the hotel's second floor, where Ansheng landed on the control station and skillfully retrieved the surveillance footage from last night at the sea fishing site.
The incident timeframe was between nine-thirty and eleven.
As the surveillance footage fast-forwarded, the things that happened last night unfolded before everyone's eyes.
The fishing city on Qingao Island is not a special building, but just an abandoned pier, refitted with fishing positions and several boats specifically for anglers to go to sea.
With the upcoming opening, all employees on Qingao Island were busily carrying out final security checks.
And just when the workers clocked out in groups and walked along the harbor with their colleagues, a cry of pain suddenly rang out from the laughing and chatting crowd.
A worker, approximately in his thirties, fell to the ground convulsing, his body visibly contracting and his chest gradually swelling up.
The colleagues nearby were scared stiff, trembling as they took out their phones to call the police, the scene was exceptionally chaotic, even the employees in the midst of training in front of the pier were drawn over.
"This is it!"
Ansheng hit the pause button, enlarging the entire segment of the video and playing it back in slow motion.
Under the enlarged slow-motion, everyone in the monitoring room could clearly see that along the side of the pier, in the area contacting the seawater, something was crawling.
To describe it as one thing isn't accurate, it was more like dozens of palm-sized white masses wriggling toward the pier's surface. If not deliberately observed, at a glance, one could easily mistake them as plastic bags floating on the sea.
And the laughter and banter of workers getting off work startled the strange creatures, which were pure white and had spots on their backs.
The leading white mass contracted its whole body, shooting out like an arrow off a bowstring, bouncing through the crowd.
It knocked down the two tallest workers there, and with a swipe, slapped the face of the arriving reception lady from the fishing site.
"Is this... a sea hare!?"
Seeing the true appearance of the creature in the surveillance video, Ansheng had an astonished look on his face.
Though its color didn't resemble the black-spotted sea hare, they perfectly matched the form and characteristics of a sea hare.
Certainly.
Ansheng is not a biologist, his knowledge of the sea hare's existence comes entirely from them spewing out long egg strands during reproduction, each short strand being over a dozen meters long, reaching up to a hundred meters for some outrageous ones.
These things are the renowned sea powder, selling for five to six hundred per catty, classified as a top-tier delicacy.
"A pure white sea hare!"
Ah Qing was taken aback by the white masses, once again confirming Ansheng's prior suspicions and nailed down the criminal's identity.
"I never expected the real culprit to be a sea hare....." Ansheng looked at Ah Qing with a weird expression and asked:
"Are Xia Dong's sea hares... this bizarre?"
As far as Ansheng knows, a sea hare is just a sea slug; besides the issue of people who eat them without caution getting poisoned, they've rarely heard of posing any threat.
"I don't know! I've only seen pet sea hares in the flower and bird market." Ah Qing continually shook her head, not daring to claim in-depth knowledge of sea hares.
"How about we still report this to the police? These white mass sea hares are truly too dangerous."
Though Fox Lady is amazing, Ah Qing is worried about Xiaolan making an unexpected error and not withstanding the blow.
"If I call Old Jin, she might think a prehistoric Godzilla has landed on Qingao Island, setting off an air raid siren and evacuating everyone to the civil defense works..."
Ansheng gave Ah Qing a full-black-eye look, stealthily ridiculing in his heart.
"No problem, just bring me the shovel....." Ansheng waved his hand at Old Jin.
"Roar——"
Old Jin roared toward the door, and moments later, numerous macaques rushed out from the zoo, scattered, carrying wrenches and pipe wrenches to the marketplace, setting up a human ladder to take down the top section of the streetlamp.
The monkey troupe pushed out a welding machine, briskly welding an iron box to the curved part of the streetlamp.
"Squeak!"
In ten minutes' time, the monkey troop hand-rolled a giant comb on the spot and carried it toward the sea fishing park.
"Xiaolan..." Ah Qing was dumbstruck and looked out at the hand-rolled gigantic weapon: "You... can carry that?"
"How could I possibly carry..."
Ansheng glanced over, spoke indifferently.
The streetlamp weapon at most weighed three hundred pounds, not even half the weight of a lightweight weapon like the Triangular Hammer.
Generally speaking, this thing doesn't count as a weapon; at most, it's just a big Jade Ruyi.
"Ah Qing, you wait here, don't leave the room." Ansheng looked earnestly at Ah Qing.
It was impossible for the sea hare's special ability to affect him.
But if Ah Qing also goes along, Ansheng worries that in the morning, something might press against him while sleeping.
No matter how slim the possibility, as long as it's above zero, Ansheng wouldn't possibly let Ah Qing take such risks.
"Then.... please take care, above all, our home doesn't care about gender; whether win or lose, you have to come back."
Seeing Fox Lady so serious, Ah Qing obediently sat on the chair and nodded, speaking worriedly.
"Alright...."
Ansheng mounted Old Jin with a flip, raising his fox tail high and giving a slap: "Old Jin, let's go! Let's sweep clear the scoundrels invading our turf in one go, and arrest them!"
"Roar——"
Old Jin obeyed, making a fierce leap, directly jumping down from the mezzanine to the first floor, rushing toward the market outside.
