Chapter Yue and his daughter were having dinner at home.
In the opposite small community, several members of the Special Action Group were eating boxed meals.
They were observing the situation of the opposite family, especially Chapter Yue's movements.
According to their experience, Chapter Yue's situation undoubtedly had hidden problems.
But even at this point, the Monster Hunting Disk remained unchanged, and their means of detecting ghosts and monsters did not find any abnormalities in Chapter Yue. One member used a telescope to observe Chapter Yue's face and actions, recording a series of data.
Three days ago, Chapter Yue's appearance seemed to have changed slightly.
His teeth became sharp, like a wild beast of the canine or feline family.
The pupils of his eyes turned red, and his face gradually turned pale.
But according to comparison, it still fell within the range of a normal person's illness, and did not reach the level of monster transformation. However, this also made the members of the Special Action Group more vigilant. After applying, they were allowed to monitor Chapter Yue further.
Xuan Yi, who was in charge of this matter, recorded all the characteristics.
Pale face, sharp teeth, sparse eyebrows, red eyes, increased appetite...
He felt uneasy.
At this time, according to experience, they should have chosen to observe the changes from a distance, which would be more secure and would not cause any danger due to too many people being involved. But when Xuan Yi saw the pale face of the little girl, he thought of his experience in Dazhen Village and thought of Dong Yu, who was only a few steps away from him.
If he had been a little more proactive at the time, Dong Yu's fate might have been completely different.
Endless self-blame tormented him during this time.
Even reciting the Taoist scriptures every night could not calm his heart.
Xuan Yi closed his eyes, put down the record in his hand, and decided to follow up on this suddenly popular live-streamer tomorrow.
He couldn't let innocent people be harmed in front of him anymore.
He had to live up to his police uniform.
If he was afraid of death, he wouldn't have come down from the mountain back then.
Early the next morning.
Xuan Yi, dressed in black, had already sat in the car and hid near the kindergarten.
Between 8:00 and 8:30 every morning, Chapter Yue would send his daughter to the kindergarten.
Then he would go to the nearby convenience market to buy ingredients for today's live-stream.
Xuan Yi, biting a fried dough stick, drove a white van and followed Chapter Yue's car slowly. After three minutes of entering the market, he also parked the car and walked in like an ordinary resident who came to buy ingredients.
................
Chapter Yue bought some vegetables, some ordinary seasonings like oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.
Then he bought a lot of meat and filled the back of the car.
He then easily found the skinny old man who was setting up his stall.
There were still not many people at the old man's stall, as if only Chapter Yue had discovered this incredibly magical place. This time, he was different from before. He spent a lot of money and bought all the seasonings on the old man's stall.
The old man looked at Chapter Yue's eyes and teeth and said, "It seems like you've been eating a lot lately. I'm curious, why are you eating so desperately? Don't you want your body anymore? You eat more than a tiger, and sooner or later your body will be eaten away."
Chapter Yue squatted in front of the stall, lit a cigarette, and said in a muffled voice, "I have no choice. My daughter's illness is serious, and I need a lot of money to keep her alive."
"My wife ran away, I can't just abandon my child..."
"If you give birth, you have to raise them."The old man nodded slowly and said, "Well... but I do business based on mutual agreement. I promised someone to be fair in my dealings. If you buy my things, I have to advise you not to eat too much of it. It's harmful to your body, you know?"
Zhang Yue smiled and didn't answer. He put the bag he was carrying on the old man's stall. The old man, who was thin and haggard, glanced at the bag and opened it. Inside were large-denomination bills issued this year. He shook his head and said, "You gave me too much."
Zhang Yue put out his cigarette, stood up and said, "Thank you. Without your appetizing seasoning, I wouldn't have had such a good day. One must repay kindness."
The old man still shook his head and said, "No, I always do business fairly."
Zhang Yue saw that the old man refused to accept the money and said after a moment's thought, "Then let's say I'm buying your goods. Do you have anything else? I'll buy it all."
Only then did the old man accept the money. He looked at Zhang Yue and said slowly, "I have many sheep at home."
"If you want, I can give you one, but your money won't be enough. Consider it a deposit."
Although there was more than enough money to buy a sheep, Zhang Yue still nodded happily and said, "Okay, I just need a whole sheep. Where are your sheep? Can I pick it up now?"
The old man shook his head and said, "Come back tomorrow."
"My sheep is not like those ordinary meat sheep that are kept in a small area. My sheep are all free-range on my own land, so I need to prepare in advance. But don't worry, the meat of these sheep is tender and delicious because they eat all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and the sea. It's definitely better than any lamb you've ever tasted."
Zhang Yue had a big appetite recently and almost seemed like a different person.
Hearing the old man's description, he felt his mouth watering and couldn't wait to eat the lamb. After agreeing on the time and place with the old man, he left.
Xuan Yi stared at Zhang Yue intently.
He saw him bow his head, smile occasionally, and sigh from time to time, as if he were talking to someone.
But there was no one in front of him, and the people around him seemed not to see Zhang Yue at all. However, in this situation, they could naturally avoid Zhang Yue's position, which was extremely eerie. Xuan Yi saw Zhang Yue stand up again, with something in his hand, and blend into the crowd naturally, without anyone noticing him, not even the vendors or passersby.
Xuan Yi felt a chill in his heart.
Zhang Yue definitely had a problem! And it was a big problem!

He finally found evidence!
He had to report it immediately.
He took out his encrypted phone and suddenly thought of a question. Why could he see Zhang Yue's conversation with that strange presence when so many people around him couldn't? Why could he notice it when people who walked past him just now didn't notice anything? Why?
He felt a chill in his heart and didn't dare to think too much. He turned around to leave.
When he turned his head, he was startled.
He saw a thin old man standing quietly behind him, as if he had been standing there for a long time.
"Not bad," the old man said as a final evaluation.
Xuan Yi instinctively pressed the quick-send button, and the video he took was instantly sent out.
Then Xuan Yi lost consciousness completely.
.........................
A tall young man fainted on the ground, but no one around him noticed anything unusual despite the crowd.The emaciated old man somehow produced a white sheepskin and wrapped it around the member of the special action team from the Weiming Sect. Visibly, Xuan Yi's body merged with the sheepskin, white fine hair growing on his face. His originally strong body forcibly shrank, his palms and fingers closed together, turning into a fist, and then the fist turned into a hoof.
The old man struggled to lift the unconscious sheep and placed it on the electric tricycle.
A few kind-hearted young people nearby also helped him.
The old man politely thanked them.
Then, like an old farmer going to the market, he blended into the crowd.
………………
Xuan Yi didn't know how long it had been before he gradually regained consciousness.
Something was wrong, Zhang Yue, Zhang Yue had a problem!
He immediately woke up and found himself lying on a pile of smelly, withered straw, the sunlight dazzling.
The old man he had last seen was smoking a pipe and watching him. Next to him was Zhang Yue. Xuan Yi cried out in shock and anger, but only let out a series of bleating sounds. This made his scalp go cold, and he lowered his head to see that his two hands had turned into white-haired hooves. The old man tapped his pipe and leisurely said:
"What do you think of this one?"
Zhang Yue looked at him seriously, then slowly nodded, swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and said:
"Good, good..."
"Indeed, a good sheep, a body of good mutton!"
