When Yoshikawa jumped out of the car to follow him, Lei Yin has disappeared into the bushes.

Deep in the bushes, Lei Yin met with a very awkward Takeda who was sitting on the ground in a funny pose, trembling.

Seeing he was not hurt, Lei Yin felt relieved.

“What happens?” Lei Yin walked over and pulled him up.

“There, there is a bear, over there….” Takeda lifted up his trembling right hand and pointed to the trees in front of them.

Lei Yin did not believe that Takeda was imagining things because he smelled the air indeed filled with a thick scent of blood.

He quickly determined that what Takeda saw was not a bear, because the climate in Kyoto was not suitable for a bear to live. Moreover, a bear was not going to come near the road where there were many cars coming and going. Even though Takeda said it was a bear, in such a dark environment, he should not be able to see things clearly. Lei Yin thought that this matter was a bit unusual, so he decided to go in and see what happens.

“Go back to the car and look for Yoshikawa, wait for me until I come back.” With that, Lei Yin ran to the woods in the front.

“Masashi, don’t go there….” Takeda shouted, but before he finished, his friend’s figure has disappeared among the trees.

Takeda did not know what to do. Just at this time, Yoshikawa ran in. Seeing Takeda, he immediately asked: “What happened?”

“When I was taking a pee, I suddenly heard a sound in front of me, so I went over to look at it. I found out there was a big bear hiding in the bushes. At that time, I was so scared that I can’t even move, fortunately, the bear was scared off by my cries.”

“Aren’t you just seeing things? I never heard a bear appeared in Kyoto. Where is Masashi?” Yoshikawa looked around and failed to see Lei Yin.

“He ran after it.”

“What? Is that guy’s head flooded with water?”

“So what happens now, do you want to go in and find him?”

“Do you have any lights in your car? If there is, why don’t you bring it here?”

“How can there be such a thing on my car? However, we have a total of three grown men, and that bear, although very large, but it should be very timid. Otherwise, it would not be scared by my yell. So we have to go in, to look for Masashi.” Takeda said self-comfortingly.

Takeda said with a sigh, “I hope you’re just seeing things, because if that’s really a bear, even if we have more people, it would still be useless. Unfortunately, this is already dark, and we can’t see anything here. Otherwise, we could look for sticks to defend ourselves.”

When the two of them were about to go back cautiously, a sound of trampling suddenly came from the bushes in front of them. They were shocked and instinctively backed away several steps while they kept their eyes focused on the front.

The trampling sound was getting nearer. Remembering the previous horror experience, Takeda really wanted to run away.

Finally, when they saw the shadow that made them frightened was Lei Yin, Takeda, all of a sudden, sat on the ground.

“Masashi, are you alright?” Yoshikawa asked.

“I’m fine, but I find something in there.” Lei Yin dragged something with his left hand to the front of them.

Takeda and Yoshikawa saw that it was a Great Dane, which lied on the ground motionless. Apparently, the dog has already died.

“So, it really is a bear?” Yoshikawa said, somewhat surprised.

Takeda curled his lips and said: “I have long said that it was a bear, it’s you who doesn’t believe me.”

Lei Yin shook his head, “I don’t think it was a bear. No bear has that thing’s flexible action and quick speed. Moreover, I did not see any bear tracks over there. I just checked the dog, it was bitten to death on the throat by some kind of animal. Moreover, all the blood in its body was drained. I have seen similar condition on another corpse. But that’s not a dog’s corpse. Instead, it was a human corpse.”

All the fine hair on the two people who listened to this suddenly stood straight.

Yoshikawa asked: “Masashi, according to you, what could possibly cause this thing?”

“This is not a secret. Do you remember the case not too long ago about the residence of former Mayor of Tokyo, Shintaro Ikeyama, where they found the human experiments and the lab? If I did not guess it wrong, what Takeda just saw is likely to be one of the escaped experimental bodies.”

“Did you say experimental bodies? Isn’t that someone who is half man half beast monster?” Takeda sucked a mouthful of cold air.

Yoshikawa thought for a moment, and then said: “But the news never mentioned this escaped experimental bodies.”

In fact, at the time, all of the rescued illegal immigrants did not show any beastly characteristic. Most of them were just about to be put on the experiment or were just injected with a small amount of drug. In addition to the several dismembered part human part animal bodies that were cut by Lei Yin, the reporters did not find any other experimental bodies who have shown their animal characteristic. They must have been kept in other places.

“I know a man who works in the police force. He told me that, at the site, he saw the record of this thing in the file. But this file was later taken away by public security authorities.” Lei Yin casually made up a reason.

“So what happens now? Are we going to notify the police?” Takeda said.

“This is just our guess. Moreover, since no human has been hurt, the police will not believe it. You can see it slowly, but I need to go back now, otherwise, the kid will be afraid.” With that, he immediately went to the roadside.

The remaining two looked at the pitch black terrifying bushes in front of them and could not help but shiver. They immediately did not dare to stay and ‘see it slowly.’

Back to where the car was parked when Amy saw Lei Yin, she immediately jumped out of the car and ran toward him.

Lei Yin picked her up and softly asked: “Are you afraid of staying here alone?”

The little girl nodded her head.

“It’s all right, let’s go back inside.” Lei Yin touched her head and held her as he put her into the car.

“Today is already dark enough, but we still met with this thing.” After a while, Takeda cursed as he walked behind Yoshikawa to the car.

Remembering the dog’s corpse that he just saw, Lei Yin sat in the car and pondered.
