821: Chapter 446: The Unseen is More Terrifying 821: Chapter 446: The Unseen is More Terrifying The people of Japan are quite passionate about monsters, and those who work on that ranch, even the lowest-level workers, have received a certain level of modern education.
The two brave souls who dared to venture out both possessed considerable warrior spirit.
Although the first brave appeared sowhat brainless and the second had just fainted from excessive emotion, it still has to be said that they were truly courageous—at least they were still able to shout.
QuanKoizumi-kun looked up and saw several pterosaurs flying overhead with ill intent, finally snapped out of his monster frenzy, and imdiately shouted loudly, “Dive, dive into the water…”
The two guys quickly subrged themselves in the water and only burst back to the surface when they could no longer hold their breath.
Their luck was really quite good; the pterosaurs originally knew that food in the lake was scarce and had only just noticed these two peculiar little creatures.
After the two dove in, the pterosaurs didn’t wait even a minute before flying away.
After all, for these pterosaurs who were accustod to hunting in the ocean, the sea was just beyond the island, where there was plenty more food.
When the two exhausted n returned to the cave and recounted what they had seen, everyone was dumbstruck.
They burst into a cacophony of chatter—so didn’t believe it, so were dubious, so found it unimaginable—ultimately, all their words distilled into one question, “Are you saying that we have suddenly co to a place that still has dinosaurs?”
“Yes!” Quan and Xiaozhu said in unison.
The cave fell into a deathly silence.
Not everyone in the world is as fearless as QuanKoizumi-kun.
In the midst of that death-like silence, a few people could no longer bear the pressure and collapsed weakly, causing the cave to erupt into noise once again…
This was visible horror.
In fact, not only the things witnessed can be terrifying; sotis, the unknown unseen can be even more horrifying!
In the ranch that was fortunate enough to be selected by Yan Fei for a visit, the entire ranch had been completely locked down by now, with countless experts and scholars holding various instrunts, searching for any trace or clue.
So people within the ranch who had gone to bed early and slept soundly, not disturbing Yanfei’s act of ‘bringing justice on behalf of heaven’, were very lucky to have avoided sharing the fate of walking with dinosaurs.
But they were horrified now.
Who could have imagined that upon waking, thousands of cattle in the ranch, along with the guards and so of the staff, had suddenly disappeared without a trace?
These people were at a loss for words—no matter how much the interrogating experts threatened or enticed, all of them had only one thing to say, “I’ve been asleep the whole ti, I don’t know anything, I didn’t hear a sound.”
Indeed, that was the only thing they could say, for they truly knew nothing.
If it weren’t for soone who got up to relieve themselves in the middle of the night and found the outside to be too eerily quiet and took a look, they might have slept until daylight completely unaware of the disappearance of so many cattle and people outside.
If it had been possible to find so traces, like the tire tracks of trucks transporting the cattle away, or evidence of soone covering up the surveillance caras—and you should know that these caras were placed high up, it’s usually impossible not to leave any traces and yet block them completely.
Of course, the incredulity doesn’t stop there.
It would be one thing for the missing people to vanish without leaving a trace—they were few in number, and they were separate from each other.
But how could so many cows, all gathered together, have disappeared without even disturbing those who were fast asleep?
Experts, arriving in waves, reviewed the surveillance footage from before and after it was obscured, over and over again hundreds of tis.
Except for noticing that one cara briefly went dark before all the footage cut out, they found nothing else.
The quantity of cattle wasn’t much, just a few thousand.
But sotis the value of things is not calculated by quantity.
There are many types of cattle: there are those used for labor, those raised for slaughtering and eating, and even among the at cattle there are different grades.
Not to ntion, there are also those that were pampered and ticulously raised from a young age, prepared to be breeding bulls for the next generation…
Among the people bustling about inside and outside of the ranch, so were angry, so were terrified, so were uneasy, so were puzzled, so were diligently fulfilling their duties, and so were bellowing, urging others to co up with an answer quickly…
But in everyone’s heart, there was an intangible shadow, a fear deep down that they dared not express…
This was an event more terrifying than any terrorist attack—the missing cattle, the missing people, it was as if a deity had waved a hand and turned them into nothingness, leaving not a single trace.
Yan Fei’s targets were chosen precisely; this ranch wasn’t just significant within the coastal city, but also held substantial importance in the entire Japan—a country with a unique sport that most people couldn’t appreciate called sumo.
It’s like fattening pigs for a pig-fighting competition, and that was called sumo.
And the city where Yan Fei was taking action had since eleven years ago, begun to gift a local unique breed of cattle to sumo wrestlers who were champions each year.
The cattle gifted every year were sent from this very ranch.
In summary, this was a dostically famous ranch, and its location was in a city that had long been renowned within the country and had so international fa as well.
Now that such a bizarre and mysterious incident had occurred, the first thing that those corrupt bureaucrats from Japan thought of was to seal off the information.
And the few reporters who had received the news early and hurried over at dawn had beco the sacrificial lambs for the information blockade.
They were now each locked in a sealed room, quietly reflecting on their actions.
It is clear that, although the early bird catches the worm is true, for the worm, it ans the early worm gets eaten by the early bird…
It wasn’t that anyone was intentionally mistreating these reporters; they were simply forgotten—after discovering the strange occurrences here, several batches of security personnel who arrived in succession reported it upwards and, after receiving instructions to seal off the news, they locked up these reporters who were buzzing around like flies just monts ago.
And as more and more important people beca involved, who had ti to care about a few little reporters!
The situation was really too strange, it was downright terrifying.
Among the various people who arrived, many prided themselves on being worldly and knowledgeable.
Yet, once they got here, they found they couldn’t apply even a bit of their experience to what they were witnessing.
It’s not that there had never been disappearances before, but in the end, it would turn out that many of these so-called mysterious disappearances were the result of rumors, intentional misleading to create intrigue, or even fake news created for April Fool’s Day.
Initially, many thought today’s incident was the sa—and in fact, many had already judged based on experience before they arrived that this was probably a case of internal and external collusion in a theft.
They even crafted on the way how they would mock their colleagues from other departnts who treated a simple theft as a mysterious event after they themselves found clues…
However, upon arriving at the scene, they discovered only a few workers left, mostly the lower-level laborers—those with a slightly higher status didn’t need to do as much hard work, so most of them wouldn’t go to bed so early.
This shows that sotis, the saying “early to bed, early to rise” is worth pondering.
Those early reporters were unlucky, but these ranch employees who didn’t go to bed early were even more unlucky!
Now, various signs indicated that the legendary mysterious disappearances had finally descended upon this small island.
As the entire ranch was ticulously searched over and over again, gradually, even though the sun was shining brightly in the sky, those who were in the ranch couldn’t feel much warmth.
They felt as if under the shade of the surrounding trees, in the corners of the buildings, and even within their own shadows, there might be sothing mysterious and unknown, unspeakable and hidden…
After Yan Fei had dealt with the Titan python which just a minute ago thought it was lucky but was then skinned alive, he returned to the office and began flipping through the newspapers.
The ranch had many newspapers; there were both morning and evening editions from Wan City, which all entities, big and small, were encouraged to subscribe to.
Thankfully, the cost wasn’t high, and it was nice to read when there was nothing else to do.
Wan City was quite good, certainly much better than another nearby city that required all teachers in the urban schools to subscribe to both morning and evening editions…
Besides these newspapers, the ranch also received two from Provincial City and one national paper which Yan Fei had personally subscribed to.
Even though they always arrived later than the date printed on them, that wasn’t a problem.
Either way, Yan Fei didn’t believe that any news he read would imdiately make him rich…
These newspapers had all just been delivered, with only Wan City’s corresponding to today’s date, but Yan Fei had no expectations of finding news about his own deeds.
He was just casually flipping through the pages…
Purely because he had done such a huge thing and it hadn’t appeared on TV, he felt extrely unsatisfied.
It was a very deep form of dissatisfaction, so he took to flipping through the newspapers to soothe his feelings.
While looking at the newspapers, he occasionally listened to the people in the caves by the lake in Dinosaur World discussing all sorts of bizarre thods and thinking about how to leave this world.
After listening to them for a bit, he couldn’t help but want to laugh, and upon seeing the cattle in the valley starting to eat scattered feed due to hunger, he felt even more amused.
After entertaining himself like this for a while, the slight regret he felt because the news hadn’t covered his ‘small’ deed gradually faded away.
