Over the course of one night, Yang Lin controlled two large creatures and roamed countless places, frightening many people.
Wherever they went, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say there were cries of terror everywhere.
Of course, besides scaring people, during this night they also rescued three people who had fallen into the water and a stray cat that someone had thrown into the river, so one could say the good and bad balanced out.
The final results were quite evident.
When he woke up the next morning, almost all the local channels were filled with news about water monsters.
In one random video, a middle-aged local man from Ningnan City was seriously telling a TV reporter:
"I'm telling you, I saw that water monster emerge from the river with my own eyes last night."
"It had eight legs, each thicker than a cow's leg, a neck like a python, and its face was covered in rows of teeth. It was absolutely terrifying."
"I was almost eaten by it."
Watching the man speaking with such conviction in the video, Yang Lin almost burst out laughing.
Clearly, this man had indeed seen the two large creatures, but perhaps due to poor eyesight, he had merged them into one in his mind.
However, Yang Lin soon discovered this wasn't even the most outlandish account.
Among the numerous videos of people claiming to have seen water monsters, the creatures were described in wildly different ways.
Some claimed they saw an octopus monster, while others said they saw a giant crab.
As these accounts became more and more far-fetched, netizens began to grow skeptical.
After all, these sightings were reported in different locations, and the descriptions of the creatures varied greatly.
If all of this were true, the entire Yong River must have been taken over by water monsters.
However, at this moment, two videos appeared online.
One video was provided by a netizen.
In this footage, a creature that looked unlike any Earth species emerged slowly from the river, making eerie sounds that sent chills down people's spines.
Most importantly, it really did have six legs.
The emergence of this video immediately reduced the skepticism online by half.
But that wasn't all. After this video, the Riverside Park authorities also released surveillance footage.
This surveillance camera, originally installed to prevent drowning incidents, clearly captured two massive, bizarre aquatic creatures chasing a man in the river.
When this video was released, netizens exploded with comments.
"Surveillance footage can't be fake, right? There really are water monsters in the Yong River."
"What on earth are these things? They look absolutely terrifying."
"They look like alien creatures. Could anything on Earth really look like that?"
"Among all the water monster claims, I think this one's the most credible."
"Is that person in the video okay? Hope he wasn't eaten."
"That's my neighbor. He's fine, just shocked. He's getting IV treatment in the hospital now. I heard he wet himself from fear last night."
"If I were chased by two monsters like that, I'd probably soil myself."
"Is it just me, or does it look like these two monsters weren't chasing him but trying to save him?"
"What, so these monsters smelled that he wet himself and decided not to eat him?"
"So these two monsters ran dozens of kilometers all night just scaring people?"
"There must be more than just these two. We just haven't caught the others on camera yet."
"Didn't someone capture footage of an alligator-like water monster in the Yong River a few days ago?"
"If you find one cockroach in your house, your house is probably infested. So who knows how many water monsters are lurking in the Yong River now."
"That's right. Once is a coincidence, twice is a coincidence, but this many times? It can't be coincidence anymore."
"Let's wait and see what the authorities say."
......
As public opinion fermented, the water monster incident escalated online, and Ningnan, as the site of the incidents, found itself in the spotlight.
Official departments immediately formed an investigation team to look into the entire incident.
However, despite their thorough search of the Yong River, they couldn't find any trace of the water monsters.
At this time, news from the capital quickly diverted netizens' attention.
The "Approaching Science" program team had arrived in Ningnan.
When this news broke, netizens were immediately filled with anticipation.
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Ningnan Criminal Police Brigade, a group of people carrying various equipment was talking with Lin Feng.
"Captain Lin, we're entrusting our safety to you this time. We must investigate the truth about these water monsters to put the public's mind at ease."
A dignified middle-aged man in his fifties spoke seriously to Lin Feng.
Anyone who regularly watched "Approaching Science," this popular science program, would recognize the speaker as Li Bonian, the show's host.
On the other side, Lin Feng immediately responded by patting his chest in assurance:
"Don't worry, Mr. Li. I'll guarantee your safety."
"Also, our aquaculture research experts have arrived. We should be able to depart soon."
"Excellent, thank you very much for your cooperation. This time we'll surely be able to uncover the mystery of the water monsters."
Li Bonian nodded.
However, just as he was about to lead his team to the Yong River, Lin Feng seemed to suddenly remember something.
"Oh, Mr. Li, I have a friend who's very knowledgeable about animals. I think he could be helpful to us."
As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, Li Bonian's face showed interest.
"Oh? Captain Lin knows an animal expert?"
"I wouldn't call him an expert exactly. He's actually a zoo director who has his own unique way of understanding and communicating with animals."
"Are you talking about the recently popular West Rainbow Zoo in Ningnan?"
Before Lin Feng could finish, Li Bonian had already spoken up.
"You know about this zoo, Mr. Li?"
"Of course! This zoo is now famous nationwide. I was actually planning to visit it myself after we finished our work here."
"I never expected Captain Lin to know their director. Looks like I might get some VIP treatment," Li Bonian said with a smile.
"In that case, I'll contact Director Yang and see if he's available."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Feng dialed a number on his phone.
At the same time, Yang Lin, who was feeding the animals at the West Rainbow Zoo, received the call.
u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie! I see extraordinary bone structure in you—a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand." The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
