Chapter 3, Night of Terror - Trapped Beast
After a while, Ling Yu, who had already reviewed the materials, furrowed his brows and expressed his opinion: "Although eight people have died, the murderer is clearly targeting those four men. The commonality among those four men is antiques. It seems the murderer is investigating a particular antique. President, do you think this case is related to the individuals sent by the OPQ organization?"
At this moment, Ling Yu noticed three boys standing not far behind Shui Jing. They were likely classmates of Shui Jing, watching the scene with amused expressions.
The footsteps came to a halt right at the door, but judging by the sound, the door that the office worker was about to open should be the one across from it
The intense pain in his calf left Ling Yu no time to cherish the beauty before him, and he had to remind Shui Jing: "Shui Jing, hurry! Hurry up!"
I just observed that the creature has no eyes; it is similar to a plant. It locates us through its stomata and roots. Its stomata can sense the carbon dioxide we exhale, while its roots can detect our body temperature, which is above normal, and the vibrations of the ground. Furthermore, it is capable of thinking and can infer our movements.
Let me do it! Ling Yu immediately leaned in, taking the top of the incendiary device into his mouth. First, he used his sliding tongue to locate the exact position of the pull ring, and then he moved his teeth to bite down.
He is a killer who practices Christianity
The strange root that bound the feet of the two individuals twitched for a moment, and then it completely withered and softened, resembling earthworms soaked in saltwater
Look again at that one downstairs ... ! ... It is almost at the third-floor balcony !
"Are we really being sent abroad for an investigation?" Ling Yu exclaimed in disbelief, his eyes widening. However, he quickly dismissed the idea as impossible. Since the president was able to access internal information from the FBI, he must have a secret intelligence network abroad. Why would he need a few high school students with insufficient English skills to conduct an investigation?
Wow! Just now, when Shui Jing took a big step forward, there was a slight blush on her face, and it seemed to be becoming more pronounced...
After Shui Jing left, Ling Yu felt a sense of loneliness. He sighed, releasing the pent-up frustration in his chest, and then walked alone towards the school gate. Since his home was relatively far away, he lived in the school dormitory and usually ate at restaurants outside, as the food in the school cafeteria was hardly fit for human consumption
Ling Yuxin thought, perhaps the boys who came to court Shui Jing had never succeeded. With this in mind, his competitive spirit surged; since that was the case, he should perform exceptionally well and not allow those worthless individuals to look down on him
She was pulled away by the monster just like that
At that moment, the monster moved the corpse in front of them, then wrapped two tendrils around the neck of the corpse and pulled with great force. With a "crack," the head of the corpse was twisted off. There was no spray of blood, but this scene left Ling Yu and Shui Jing completely frozen, their eyes wide open like copper bells.
Twenty minutes later, the young man got out of the car in front of an old building in Huangdong District, while Ling Yu got out at the entrance of a shop across from the old building. To avoid alerting the target, he did not follow the young man upstairs.
"Shuijing, I am sorry, are you alright?" Lingyu lifted Shuijing up and found her face flushed, her delicate and alluring appearance was truly captivating
After looking into the water mirror, her expression changed dramatically, and she asked in confusion, "How could this be! Where is that person?"
Oh, wait a moment, Dad is tidying up some things and will be right there
However, this time all I could see was darkness, and for some unknown reason, the lights in the corridor also went out.
Ling Yule happily followed Shui Jing, and when they reached the staircase, she turned her head back and proudly raised her middle finger at the three boys who were still watching but had already been rendered speechless.
On the path leading to the main gate, Zhang Fugui heard the painful whimpers and howls of two dogs, feeling a sense of unease. However, the lights at the entrance were off, making it difficult to discern the exact situation.
At this moment, he took the two hearts that had only recently turned into seeds to the edge of the balcony, dug two holes in a flowerpot that had not yet been planted with any plants but was already filled with soil, and then gently placed the seeds inside, covering them with soil particles
"Monster! In any case, we must leave here quickly!" Ling Yu shouted loudly, panting. Without caring whether Shui Jing agreed or not, he grabbed her hand and ran towards the balcony by the restroom. "We will slide down with a rope!"
Ling Yu felt a chilling sensation as if his body temperature had been taken away. He intended to say a few teasing words to dispel the lingering unease in the atmosphere. Suddenly, he noticed the rope beginning to sway, and his body started to swing dramatically as well
Night
Of course I am certain, because that guy asked me for directions, and I could see him very clearly from such a short distance. Moreover, even if he has an average appearance, he is still a person with distinct features, not an indistinguishable egg. I can confirm that the person in this photo is indeed that guy
When Ling Yu came out of the bathroom, he noticed a very strange phenomenon—among the eight flower pots on the balcony, only two contained plants, while the other six were left with only soil
Yes
Two strong wolfhounds, upon seeing their owner appear, excitedly barked and ran over, circling around Zhang Fugui while affectionately rubbing their heads against his legs
Who on earth are you!
"What are you doing?" Shui Jing felt the person behind her pressing closely, and immediately reacted by delivering an elbow strike to Ling Yu's shoulder. Ling Yu let out a "Wow" and suddenly retreated two steps down the stairs, nearly rolling all the way down.
Come over quickly! After safely landing on the opposite balcony, Shui Jing waved to Ling Yu
Witnessing all of this, Shui Jing made a swift decision, drew the dagger he carried with him, and rushed over. With a swift motion, he severed the "strange root" with a single stroke.
During the morning class, Ling Yu learned through Wu Jian that Yu Guang was actually their alumnus, and moreover, he was a junior. His classroom was in Class One of the Second Year, but he was merely an honorary student there, and it was fine for him not to attend classes—Ling Yu felt particularly envious of this.
Outside the door
Ling Yu was momentarily stunned, then shook his head and beckoned Shui Jing to look through the peephole.
That boy indeed went to Class 11 of the first year of high school, but when he came out, he was still alone. Clearly, the person he was looking for was no longer in the classroom
Ling Yu sensed the displeasure of Shui Jing and lowered his voice significantly, "I came to pick you up. Didn't the president ask us to go to the club after school this morning?"
Ling Yu, who was following Shui Jing, did not notice and thus bumped into her... Her hair smells so good... It seems to have the fragrance of jasmine... Shui Jing's shoulders and back feel so elastic...
"I can't believe this is happening!" Yu Guang felt extremely surprised, but he had no doubts, as he was well aware of Shui Jing's character. "Perhaps this matter has already attracted the attention of the police. You must leave that place; otherwise, when the police arrive, the situation may become even worse. I will send Wu Jian to assist you right now. You must hold on!"
After that sudden sound, it abruptly vanished. Ling Yu spoke in a gloomy tone, causing Shui Jing to break out in goosebumps
Sewage dripped down from above, landing precisely on several pots of plants on the fourth-floor balcony
In the conference room, Yu Guang was unaware of when he had already taken the main seat at the conference table, while Wu Jian and Murong Huowu were also present, seated on either side of Yu Guang.
Because he had money in his pocket, Ling Yu wanted to invite Shui Jing to dinner, creating an opportunity to enhance their understanding of each other. However, when he brought it up, Shui Jing's reaction was somewhat strange
Although it was somewhat torturous, the effect was quite remarkable, as the monster seemed to have lost its target. The vines and roots writhed, yet did not extend in their direction
After killing each person, he would take their hearts back with him and plant them in pots. Before long, the seeds would grow into various kinds of plants
The organization has always been hesitant to establish a branch in Country C, believing that the mindset of the people there is too capricious, especially their tendency to be fence-sitters, making them quite unreliable. Consequently, the investigator from Country C, after gathering the necessary intelligence, was silenced by a Vietnamese assassin hired by the organization. Presumably, to ensure safety, they dispatched Red Heart A from Italy to carry out the mission in the distant Country C.
The addresses and names copied down on the note are all related to those who were recently murdered in the city
When I came at noon, I remember that guy watering the plants on the balcony. Weren't there several large plants in the flowerpots? ... How come they were gone by evening ...
Two minutes later, the boy in the black coat left the villa like a ghost of the dark night
Shuijing nodded slightly, straddled the balcony, and mounted two bamboo poles. Then, holding onto the poles, she slowly slid across. Lingyu supported one end of the poles behind her, ensuring their balance and stability.
Thank you
Yes, indeed. However, I do not keep it in the villa; I keep it at home
Are you sure
However, in the blink of an eye, the target reappeared. The boy walked out from the alley on the other side of the warehouse, seemingly wearing a hint of irritation on his face. Ling Yu did not know where that boy had disappeared to just now, but he gathered his spirits and decided to continue following him, as the boy's behavior and intentions were indeed too suspicious.
Now, let the search begin. Shui Jing commanded with a seasoned demeanor: I will search the room, and you search the living room
Ling Yu, while nibbling on a piece of bread, took the document and then sat down beside the conference table, carefully reviewing it.
It is as if it is using the counterforce of the strange roots and vines to grasp the door, pulling its own body out from the kitchen near the entrance
Say!
No
Both individuals took a bundle of rope from their respective backpacks, with a three-pronged iron hook at one end of the rope. They hung it over the edge of the balcony and then threw the bundled rope down.
The boy in the black coat did not respond, and Zhang Fugui, frightened, stepped back and attempted to turn and run away, but fell down awkwardly.
Looking left and right in the water mirror, she noticed that many classmates had turned their attention to Ling Yu due to her shout. With a change in expression, she walked up to Ling Yu and said coldly, "What do you want with me?"
It seems that this is indeed the case
Twenty minutes later, he suddenly slammed the table, startling Yu Guang greatly.
Ling Yu was unable to delve deeply into this issue, as at that moment the water mirror in the room called him over.
In just a few seconds, the boy in the black coat subdued him, and he is now completely unable to move
After school in the afternoon, Ling Yu went to the corridor outside Shui Jing's classroom to pick her up. This time, she did not give him a cold shoulder, and the two of them walked together towards the school gate.
Shuijing emerged from inside, wearing a butterfly-patterned top in yellow and black, along with deep blue jeans. Lingyu waved enthusiastically at her, as if they were already quite familiar with each other
Shuijing noticed this and quickly whispered, "Let's separate." Then, he reached out and grabbed the rope that connected them, pulling away from Lingyu.
Ling Yu did not intend to scare anyone or test the waters, as it is unlikely that the residents here would go to sleep so early, especially in this old building that has a history of seventy to eighty years. The walls inside are made of wooden boards, which certainly do not provide good sound insulation. However, there was no sound of a television or conversation, which is quite unreasonable
...
He discovered that the six pots of plants grew very quickly, reaching over one meter in height in just half a month
Stop! If you take another step, I will shoot! Don't think I am just trying to scare you!
The two individuals managed to temporarily control the situation by smashing objects. However, there are still two monsters approaching from the balcony, and they cannot escape from this side. They have now become like trapped beasts, with every struggle feeling as if they are being toyed with by fate
The next morning, when the school bell rang for dismissal, Ling Yu appeared in the corridor outside Class 8 of the first year.
"Excuse me, where is Class 11 of the first year of high school?" The boy's expression and tone while speaking were akin to the airflow in the stratosphere
The reason Red Heart A rents here is due to two factors
The two individuals arrived at the entrance of the building. Shui Jing quickly affixed the motion-sensing camera to a suitable position using double-sided tape. Upon taking out the monitor to check, there were no issues.
Then what do you think should be done? The original dominant position of the Water Mirror is now beginning to waver
The young man softly said, "Thank you," as he was leaving
Those plants actually shake their branches and leaves, causing the dirty water clinging to them to fall into the soil of the flowerpot
I understand. "Shuijing replied, attempting to raise one hand, but it was still a palm's length away from the inner pocket of Lingyu's coat.
Before Shui Jing and Ling Yu left the club, Yu Guang gave each of them a bag, which contained those advanced and compact "weapons". Just figuring out how to use them would be enough to keep someone occupied for quite a while
Isn't this environment, this atmosphere... a typical horror film?... Such a thought suddenly arose in his mind
Upon hearing the words "homicide case," Ling Yu's eyes instantly sparkled like a shooting star, as if he had consumed dozens of bottles of stimulants
He walked in gently, just as he came in gently
He made a gesture, instructing them to check immediately, then turned and returned to the villa. He went to the study, took down the double-barreled shotgun hanging on the wall, loaded it with bullets, and then quickly walked towards the front door
Ling Yu pondered to herself, the Water Mirror is truly intriguing... Although it does not make one drool, it possesses a unique allure, as if it could draw my very soul away... Hehe, therefore, in order to preserve my own soul, I must take the initiative and absorb yours first...
At this moment, the two individuals looked towards the balcony on the third floor. As there were no lights on the third floor and no moonlight outside, they could only vaguely discern that the creature was covered in numerous leaves and roots, resembling a gigantic "living plant".
Shuijing did not hesitate to wrap her arms around Lingyu's leg, and then, using that momentum, she grabbed the belt at his waist to steady herself. However, this put Lingyu in a difficult position, as his hands had to bear the weight of two people, which was already challenging, especially with that monster exerting force from below.
He hopes this will be the final link; otherwise, the number of people killed in a short period will be too much for him to bear
First, it is necessary to investigate all Chinese or overseas Chinese passengers on the flights from Italy to Country C during the week in early September, which was half a month ago. The OPQ organization will send personnel to Country C. For safety reasons, if their members are not disguised as citizens of Country C, then they are indeed citizens of Country C
The glass coffee table fell to the floor near the entrance, instantly shattering into countless fragments that flew in all directions. The creature, being too large, could not evade them, and its "body" was cut in several places by the shards of glass. It retreated from the entrance, temporarily too afraid to launch another attack.
The stairs are steep and high at each step, and there are no lights installed at the corners, so the two individuals must hold onto the handrails to avoid stepping into empty space
As he passed by the bulletin board, a subtle psychological impulse prompted Ling Yu to pause, wanting to see which individuals were featured in the latest issue of the Influential Figures list. Subconsciously, he naturally hoped that his name would appear on the list.
What is your son's name? Which school does he attend? What class is he in?
Dad, it's time to eat
Let's go to the corridor first!" Ling Yu mumbled as he opened the balcony door, "This is ridiculous, how could there be an alien here that only appears in science fiction films!"
"Jinshan, Yinshan, I haven't seen you for half a month, and you've both grown so strong." Zhang Fugui squatted down to stroke the heads of the two dogs and instructed, "Remember, if a stranger tries to steal something, don't be polite. Just pounce and bite; it's fine if you bite them to death. This way, it won't be in vain that I spend money to raise you."
No, because the police have not yet entered this case into the computer system, it is impossible to trace it, no matter how advanced the hacker's technology is
Blood suddenly appeared on the black wooden floor, one drop, two drops, three drops... Gradually forming a pool of blood
Water Mirror! Ling Yu saw that Water Mirror was in crisis and felt a surge of anxiety. Suddenly, an idea struck her. She shook her body and stretched her ungrasped left foot towards her. "Grab my foot!"
Upon arriving at the club, Ling Yu, who already knew the password to the main entrance, eagerly stepped forward to try it. He successfully unlocked the password lock, and as he entered, he felt particularly comfortable, as if he had arrived at a place that belonged to him.
"Perhaps that young man ... ... " Yu Guang said up to this point when the fax machine rang. He went over to operate it, and soon a dozen or so documents were transmitted. "A Yu, come over here. These are the flight records you wanted, mainly consisting of flight and passenger passport records. There are quite a few; you can take a look first."
Ling Yu was quite perceptive and did not pursue her. Watching her retreating figure, he could only feel that the person's sadness was inexplicably profound... and it caused a slight ache in his heart
At that moment, Ling Yu did not know where the courage had come from. Taking a deep breath, he changed his position from sitting to squatting, and then with a leap like a frog, he first kicked the bamboo pole away, using its elasticity to propel himself towards the water's surface.
Ling Yu's eyes sparkled as he exclaimed: "Although it is hard for the average person to believe, this boy named Lu Ying is ninety-nine percent likely to be the investigator sent by OPQ from Italy to our country C, and he is also the perpetrator of the serial murders"
The sound was not that of a gunshot; rather, it was the noise made when the shotgun flew from Zhang Fugui's hand and landed on the artificial hill a few meters away
When Shui Jing turned around, she did not notice her heel, and with a "crack," she stepped on a piece of broken glass
Then, they quietly grow at a speed visible to the naked eye
He appears to be of a similar age to himself, with very fair skin, dressed in a brown coat and dark green trousers. His appearance is ordinary, but the two beams of focus emanating from his eyes are so intense that one cannot gaze at them for long. Such a gaze is typically found only in individuals with a strong sense of purpose
"What happened?" Yu Guang asked
In fact, generally speaking, there is a third option, which is to call the police. However, officers usually arrive quite late, and it is uncertain whether the two of them can survive until then. Therefore, it is best to prioritize escaping the predicament.
Under the bright glow of the flames, the curtain of the water mirror hangs low, and the blush on the cheeks resembles the fiery clouds of the western sky
Firstly, the president asked me to interact with you more, as we may need to collaborate in the future, and becoming familiar with each other will foster better understanding; secondly, I heard that every time you come out of the classroom, at least four or five boys surround you to give you flowers and ask for your phone number. I don't believe it, which is why I came to see if it's true. Do you know why I don't believe it?
Are you saying that a suspicious boy has appeared at the school, and he seems to want to take something?
That guy is very likely carrying a weapon; he is a professional assassin. If Wu Jian and Huo Wu are discovered, wouldn't that put them in great danger
Then, the monster made a grand entrance
The latest address is still She Ri Middle School, followed by Class 11 of Grade 1, Zhang Wangcai.
The first reason is that there are not many residents in this area, making it relatively quiet. However, it is unfortunate that the family living above has turned their home into a private dental clinic, so during the day, one often hears the sounds of patients visiting for dental work—children crying and adults screaming.
This is my first time on a mission. Are you afraid that I, as a novice, will hold you back? Ling Yu asked with a smile, as if he genuinely hoped to be a burden to others
Ling Yu suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and abruptly turned his head, but there was nothing behind him.
I really want to know what he intends to do ... Could it be that he wants to report some major event ...
Looking through the window that opens onto the balcony, one can see a creature covered in leaves and vines, resembling a giant fish, forcefully pushing the door panel aside and squeezing its entire body through the doorway. It then quickly extends its strange roots and vines, seemingly in search of food
However, just as the two of them had barely slid down half a meter while holding onto the rope, an unexpected event occurred. Suddenly, two slimy, strange tendrils reached out from the third-floor balcony, wrapping around one of their feet each.
That alley is at least twenty meters long, and Ling Yu's gaze left that boy for only a few seconds. Could it be that he ran over in one breath
The water mirror did not stack the handles on top of each other, and pretended not to see, shaking its head and walking towards the staircase, "Let's talk after the task is completed"
As the two individuals passed through the living room, a sudden "thud" echoed from the kitchen, followed by a "rustling" sound, reminiscent of something scraping against the floor. Having been startled multiple times before, they quickly reacted without hesitation and rushed towards the door with renewed determination
Understood. Ling Yu responded and, like Shui Jing, straddled the bamboo pole. As he moved to the middle, the bamboo pole suddenly began to rotate abnormally. Turning his head to look, he was immediately drenched in cold sweat, as the monstrous root from the creature below was actually climbing up the water pipe, grasping one end of the bamboo pole.
"What exactly is that thing?" Shui Jing's hand holding the dagger trembled slightly, revealing her deep fear.
"It should be held in the Art Building, but I'm not sure, as there are many exhibitions the day after tomorrow," Ling Yu replied casually
Zhang Fugui should have been afraid, but when he discovered that the youth had no weapons in his hands and no accomplices behind him, he let out a cold laugh, stepped forward confidently, and raised his shotgun to aim at the youth's chest
Oh, you just keep going. The third floor of Building 6, which is opposite Building 1, is where you will find it. " Ling Yu indicated the correct location
This time, Ling Yu and Shui Jing truly saw the monster's true form.
What is it now?" Shui Jing asked anxiously, holding the backpack in hand, ready to take out whatever was needed at any moment
However, suddenly, two loud thuds on the floor came from the door across, startling both individuals and causing their hearts to tremble repeatedly.
She felt her limbs go weak, lacking the strength to push him away, while he had just escaped death and was so tense all over that he could hardly move
At that moment, the sound of approaching footsteps came from the corridor outside. Although both individuals knew that the newcomer was an office worker and that he did not reside in this room, they could not help but feel tense due to their guilty conscience.
Shuijing, you are truly familiar with the use of those instruments... I find it difficult to even understand the manuals for those things... Lingyu felt a great admiration in his heart, then extended his hand with the back facing up, saying: "Then let us wish for a pleasant first collaboration."
How reserved... I really like it! Ling Yu chuckled to himself
In the blink of an eye, Ling Yu ran to turn on the television beside him, cranking the volume up to the maximum. He then took out an unknown object from his backpack and threw it onto the ground, instantly creating a thick, spherical white mist on the floor. Shui Jing was about to ask a question when he was suddenly pulled over and embraced by Ling Yu.
The young man in the black coat shook his head lightly, expressing his regret. Although he did not wish to kill more people, any witness who saw him at the scene of a murder had to die
Ling Yu opened the Bible to see if there was anything special, only to find it was just an ordinary Italian Bible. Confused, he said: "This killer is really strange, coming all the way to such a distant place to carry out a mission, and even bringing a Bible with him"
Although in his view, killing is equivalent to saving, he cannot help but acknowledge that the look of pain and resentment that bursts forth from the eyes of those about to die only intensifies his sense of guilt
The young man in the black coat seemed not to notice the hunting rifle in his hand, walking straight and steadily towards him
Zhang Fugui's mistress has arrived
Awoo
Today, he is markedly different from before, with his messy hair slicked forward, a pointed protrusion on his forehead resembling a bird's beak; additionally, his attire is quite refined, featuring a deep blue leather jacket paired with brown casual pants, giving him a completely refreshed appearance and demeanor
At seven thirty, Lu Ying came out of the old building and walked to a restaurant on the adjacent street for a meal. Ten minutes later, he exited the restaurant and then got into a taxi
Ling Yu overheard the conversation between Shui Jing and the president. He let out a breath and disdainfully remarked, "No assistance is of any use; we still have to rely on ourselves to find a solution."
The young man in the black coat walked towards the door
The monster seems to be able to sense the locations of Ling Yu and Shui Jing, as the vines and roots continuously reach out towards them. They retreat step by step and then throw objects to strike it. After being hit, the monster quickly retracts the vines and roots. It appears to have a sense of pain similar to that of humans
The water mirror gazed deeply at him, and her eyes instantly became as enchanting as the mist over the waters of Jiangnan. Two slender wisps of hair swayed in the wind, resembling two curling wisps of smoke rising gently. Observing her demeanor at such a close distance, Ling Yu could only describe the moment's feeling as breathtaking.
Two minutes later, the boy in the black coat left the villa like a ghost of the dark night
At this moment, the monster from the next room had already made its way onto the balcony, while the monster downstairs did not continue to climb up, but instead moved over here, pressing against the wall.
Ling Yu shook his head with a bitter smile and hurried towards the water mirror, greeted by the vine-like tendrils swaying like a python
Ling Yu entered the room and did not conduct a search; he merely glanced around. On the table, a Bible and a cross were prominently placed.
"What do you want to do?" Shui Jing struggled to push away Ling Yu
He stretched his head out and looked left and right, then Ling Yu quickly returned and shut the door. Shui Jing noticed his pale face, as if he had seen something terrifying, and she became tense as well. She asked softly, "What did you see?"
He did not find it strange; he merely thought that perhaps the soil and climate of Country C were very suitable for plant growth
Shuijing struggled to pull her right hand out, then reached into Lingyu's coat to feel around. The skin on Lingyu's chest sensed her probing movements, and immediately felt a surge of new strength coursing through her body, causing her arm's strength to suddenly increase, preventing the downward trend from continuing
So that's how it is... That warehouse is next to the gym, but you won't be able to get it directly; you need to find your class advisor to accompany you.
After a thorough discussion, Yu Guang made a decision. He would hire someone to check the airline's records and also attempt to obtain the police reports related to the serial murder case. Ling Yu and Shui Jing would form a team to investigate the deceased's family, aiming to uncover what the murderer sought to obtain. Wu Jian and Mu Rong Huo Wu would remain on standby as reinforcements.
He has been in City G for half a month. During this time, he has not had a single day of idleness, working tirelessly to investigate, and only now has there been a definite lead on the target.
"President, is there no detailed file regarding this case?" Ling Yu was very eager to know about the scene and the cause of death of the deceased
Ling Yu stood at the doorway, ready to dash into the corridor and escape at any moment, yet he remained fixed in place, gazing intently at the water mirror
Next, he went to the guidance office in the office building, but it was already closed, and there was no teacher on duty. He then went upstairs to the principal's office, which was also closed.
At 7 PM, as the sky darkened, Ling Yu and Shui Jing were on the rooftop of the building opposite the residence of their target, "Lu Ying," using infrared telescopes to monitor the target's activities
Tonight he has invited his mistress here, Happy, so he is in particularly good spirits. After sending the old man who manages the villa away, he went upstairs to take a bubble bath. After changing into his pajamas and putting on his slippers, he walked out to the yard
The implication is that Shui Jing is extremely difficult to pursue, which makes her seem very valuable. Additionally, it indicates a desire to show that one is different from other boys and would never easily give up.
"Can you?" Upon hearing Ling Yu's words, Shui Jing suddenly felt a sense of foreboding arise within her, and then her entire body stiffened, coming to a halt.
Did you find any weapons in the room
A thought suddenly struck his mind. He looked down at his feet and immediately shouted, "Damn, there's another one! Quickly, climb up!"
On the other hand, seeing his attitude and gaze while reasoning, she always felt that he resembled someone who had once flashed through her life like a shooting star, which left her feeling somewhat disordered inside
The two individuals exchanged glances, reaching a consensus through their eyes that it was imperative to leave this place quickly: something was amiss.
It has densely packed, elongated pointed leaves on top, a dozen or so retractable dark green vines in the middle, and countless red roots at the bottom
Yu Guang seemed to have anticipated this point long ago. Upon hearing Ling Yu's conclusion, he was not overly surprised. He then solemnly asked Ling Yu how to investigate and confirm this matter in order to obtain further intelligence
As they approached the door, both individuals could not help but feel their hearts race, for the monster was only half a meter away from them. Fortunately, their bodies had just been chilled by the air conditioning, causing their nerves to be somewhat dulled, thus the feeling of fear was not particularly intense.
The two individuals remained in such an intimate position for a full twenty seconds, after which Ling Yu was the first to move away, having heard the door of the neighboring balcony slam open. He had to become alert, as, after all, life was of utmost importance at this moment
As soon as she came out of the conference room, she seemed off, as if he had provoked her... However, he had only discussed how to conduct the investigation with the librarian in the conference room, and had not said anything to offend her... The way she looked at him just now felt like she was seeing another person... Shui Jing, what kind of secrets are you hiding in your heart?
"Do you have a solution?" Shui Jing was clearly dissatisfied with Ling Yu's attitude
After it was over, the two of them tidied the room back to its original state, and then began to check if anything had been left behind
Ling Yu was fortunate to have a small amplifier with him. He took it out, put it to his ear, and directed the receiving antenna towards that direction
Is it really necessary to be so righteous... Clearly, you wish to live, yet you still tell me to leave quickly. Do you want me to feel guilty for a lifetime... Hey, I will not let you succeed in this...
Water Mirror, you go ahead first, is that alright?
Shuijing immediately understood and reached out to grasp the other two corners of the glass tea table. Then, Lingyu counted one, two, three, and simultaneously threw it forward
"What is it?" Shui Jing's tone remained as indifferent as ever, but Ling Yu noticed an improvement; at least the feeling of aversion was gone
Shuijing's remarks are indeed objective, but she also has her own perspective. The reason she is so confident in the president's judgment is actually due to witnessing Ling Yu's outstanding performance in the morning and at noon
Ling Yu's response is reasonable: "Because I was afraid you would be cold"
Zhang Fugui, the owner of AK Culture Company, drove to a three-story villa he purchased in the suburbs
After leaving the office building, the young man went straight to the warehouse next to the gym. There were quite a few people coming and going outside the gym. He stood at the entrance for a while before circling around to the back of the warehouse. Ling Yu followed him as well, but kept a cautious distance, as he noticed that the young man was very alert, occasionally stopping to look back.
Just as Ling Yu was pouring the water into the thermos, the display attached to the sensor camera of the water mirror suddenly emitted a "beep," startling both of them.
However, the movements of the monster in the kitchen were even faster. Before they could reach the doorway, it extended dozens of strange roots and vines, swiftly weaving them into a net that blocked their path.
The lights are on in the living room, and the water dispenser is still boiling water; strangely, there is no one in this house
Therefore, we can turn the situation around; as long as it cannot detect our body temperature, breathing, or footsteps, we can deceive it and then exit through the door
He paused for a moment and then said: "Because I believe that anyone who wishes to pursue you must wager their life. Aside from someone like me, who disregards life and death, how could there be so many others who do not cherish their lives?"
No one knows the purpose, members, and leader of this organization, but the Italian branch of this organization has been preliminarily grasped, and some of their actions have gradually come to light—are you wondering what this has to do with our Mysterious Research Society? Hehe, of course it does, because our Mysterious Research Society specializes in studying mysterious events and figures, and this organization happens to be a mysterious one. So take this opportunity to hone your skills.
When the monster emerged from the kitchen, the vines behind it formed a cocoon-like net, enveloping a middle-aged woman inside. Its roots penetrated through the vine net and then through the skin, piercing into the woman's blood vessels. The woman's body was shriveled, completely still, and her flesh appeared to have been drained of all blood.
Thank you
Next, we need to approach the families of the deceased to investigate what antique the murderer was seeking and its whereabouts
After watering the two seeds he had just planted, he took his change of clothes to the bathroom for a hot shower, and then walked into the bedroom, collapsing onto the bed.
Holding the doorknob, Ling Yu gestured to Shui Jing, indicating for her to move to his left side
It placed the woman's head into the core of the third flower. As soon as the head was inserted, dozens of slender blue tubes extended from there, inserting into the seven orifices and neck of the head, securing it in place. This was clearly not for decoration, but rather seemed to be for the purpose of extracting the brain matter from the head
In response to Ling Yu's invitation, Shui Jing did not answer, but merely shook his head, and then suddenly walked away briskly, leaving Ling Yu behind.
Just as Zhang Fugui's legs began to weaken, a figure appeared in his line of sight
On the screen is a man in a suit, who appears to be an ordinary office worker. He probably is returning home late due to working overtime.
"I came to pick you up because I have two reasonable reasons. Would you like to hear them?" Teasing and fabricating stories are both among Ling Yu's specialties.
In a moment, Shui Jing saw Ling Yu's shoulder suddenly tremble, and then he made an action that she found difficult to anticipate, which was to open the door with a swift motion
Upon hearing Shui Jing's voice, Ling Yu immediately knew she had made a discovery. Upon entering the room, without saying a word, she promptly handed over a note. Ling Yu took it in her hand and, upon glancing at it, was instantly left speechless.
The second reason is that there is a Christian church located about six hundred meters from his residence. However, he cannot understand why the church is built in a dark and remote alley, similar to those illegal places of gambling, drugs, and vice, making access quite inconvenient. Nevertheless, it is still within the limits of what he can tolerate
Soon, they ascended to the fourth floor and arrived at the door of their target's residence. Shui Jing stood guard while Ling Yu used the lily key, which allows for various combinations, to unlock the door. After opening the lock, the two quickly slipped inside, gently closed the door, turned on the lights, and then drew the curtains.
It wants to pry open the door panel
Wait a moment, I will go check the room first and then speak further
Peering into the small alley behind the warehouse, Ling Yu was taken aback— that boy had actually vanished
In a moment of desperation, Shui Jing could only choose to grasp Ling Yu's coat with both hands, then laboriously wriggle upward like a caterpillar. After wriggling a few times, Shui Jing, her face flushed, finally wrapped her arms around Ling Yu's neck and hung there, gasping for breath. This simple action had already made her feel dizzy; she needed to rest for a moment before she could move again, or she would truly risk being caught by the monster below due to a sudden loss of consciousness
"Young man, what do you intend to do by sneaking in here?"
Boredom, what competition has won what award, is there really nothing innovative at all
"I didn't do anything. It's just that you suddenly didn't leave, and I couldn't see you, so..." Ling Yu explained hesitantly
Ling Yu heard strange noises outside the door, so she immediately pressed her eye against the peephole again
Please take a seat; today I have an official task to assign to you all
Because they no longer have any ropes, it is impossible for them to slide down directly from the upper floor. They now have two options: one is to go to the rooftop to see if they can jump to the adjacent building, and the other is to walk down the corridor and exit through the front door
Driven by a sudden surge of curiosity, Ling Yu set aside the matter of eating and quietly followed behind that boy
Thank you, I would like to ask again, where is the venue for the historical and cultural exhibition? The young man asked politely, but Ling Yu appeared somewhat impatient, as he felt that excessive politeness seemed contrived
During the monitoring period, Ling Yu learned from the Water Mirror that this was also the first mission for the Water Mirror; previously, she had only undergone training and had not been officially deployed. However, in terms of site reconnaissance and instrument operation, she was clearly much more experienced than Ling Yu, so at the beginning, Ling Yu could only follow her instructions, doing exactly as she directed.
What a wonderful feeling! ... The body of the water mirror is so soft! ... Damn! I must be crazy, almost at the end of my life, and I'm still thinking about all this nonsense! Ah ...! My calf ... ... It hurts! It feels like it's about to be torn apart!
After half a minute, the white mist dissipated, revealing their pale faces, with their hands and feet trembling slightly
In a state of helplessness, he had no choice but to seek out Huang Haiming. Huang Haiming then said he had given it to an archaeologist. Upon finding that archaeologist, he was told it had been sent to the museum. He then inquired with the museum director, who mentioned it had been privately given to a businessman. After that, he went to find that businessman, only to learn it had been taken by his son to school
Next, among the five yellow flowers, four of the buds slowly began to bloom. The two individuals were once again astonished, for within the cores of two of the buds were the heads of two people. Although their features were unrecognizable, it was still possible to discern that one was the head of a middle-aged man, while the other belonged to a little girl
Shuijing quickly took out the monitor, and a photo just captured by the sensor camera was displayed. Soon, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to Lingyu: "It's nothing, just a resident returning home."
At that moment, two beams of bright white light suddenly shot in from outside the gate's railing, as a car approached. The driver of the car pressed a button on the remote key, and the electric gate began to rise.
Stop talking nonsense, let's go
There is. Ling Yu nodded, suddenly bending down to grab the two corners of the glass coffee table. "Come help!"
Although Ling Yu's heart, which had been suspended, had also settled down, there was still a sense of curiosity to see what the person who had come up looked like, so she walked over to the water mirror and looked at her hand.
In order to verify the strange thoughts in his heart, Ling Yu made a gesture to Shui Jing that signaled "let me take a look," and then walked to the door, peering through the peephole to observe the situation outside
Shuijing extended both hands to their fullest, just like a trapeze artist in a circus, catching Lingyu's hands in mid-air. After being pulled to the edge of the balcony, Lingyu pushed off from the protruding edge with both feet, using the momentum to leap over the balcony railing
Let us continue walking. Shui Jing did not take Ling Yu's "improper" behavior to heart; the momentary cold pressure that had flashed by just now made her feel extremely uneasy. The target had already left, and they should not be in danger by entering. Why did she feel as if there was an even more terrifying danger lurking in the dark corners of this old building?
However, upon arrival, he discovered that the information provided to the organization by the investigator from Country C was actually outdated. The intelligence indicated that the item was in the possession of the director of the cultural center, Mao Jin. However, when he killed Mao Jin, he learned from him that three months prior, Mao Jin had already given the item to his friend, Huang Haiming, who was an antique collector.
In that moment, did the hearts of the two individuals resonate with each other
Ah—" Shui Jing couldn't help but scream. As soon as she lifted her foot, the vine shot over quickly and bound her, followed by her waist and arms succumbing in succession
I suspect he has gone to our school again. During the day, he originally intended to retrieve something, but due to inconvenience, he only took action at night. Ling Yu glanced at his watch and said to Shui Jing: "A round trip by taxi takes at least 40 minutes, and adding his action time, conservatively estimated to be half an hour, we now have an hour and a half for investigation. You stay here to monitor, and I will go in alone. As soon as he returns, you must inform me immediately using the communicator."
I am not quite sure... However, I feel that the corridor is very unsafe, and danger will soon arise here. As for what kind of danger, I... ah!" Ling Yu suddenly trembled all over, screaming in fear. Turning around and looking down, he saw a red, root-like object stretching in from the gap under the door, hooking onto his left knee.
On the balcony, there are also six additional flower pots, each containing a plant. They were originally vibrant hearts as well
Shuijing was knocked down to the ground
The force exerted by the monster's pull is as strong as that of an adult's right arm. Both individuals are gripping the rope, and if even one hand loosens slightly, the entire person will be pulled down. Therefore, it is impossible to free a hand to use a dagger against them
Ling Yu did not have the time to appreciate the shy appearance of Shui Jing, nor to savor the thrill of their lips' intimate contact, as the strain on his arm was nearing its limit and was slowly beginning to slide down
It has no eyes and no face, but it has five elongated yellow flowers blooming among its branches and leaves. Its trunk is not much larger than that of an adult human body, but due to its sprawling branches, vines, and roots, it gives a very imposing impression
Could it be that the person happened to see a cockroach appear, which is why they stomped down so hard? Otherwise, why would they suddenly step on the floor?
Did you recently receive a parchment from the archaeologist Zhao Shan? The voice of the boy in the black coat was devoid of any emotion
He was a young man dressed in a black coat, exuding an aura that seemed to merge with the darkness, as if he were a product of the darkness, coming from it and ultimately destined to return to it
He ascended to the furniture section on the fifth floor of the store and closely monitored the old building across from him through the glass window. After patiently waiting for over an hour, the young man finally approached the balcony, revealing that he lived on the fourth floor. He was seen leisurely watering a few potted plants on the balcony with a watering can.
However, why does that man have an expression of anxiety and unease on his face... He cannot comprehend it
Zhang Fugui initially thought that it was just passersby walking by the door, but he soon realized that it was not the case, as the two dogs were barking increasingly loudly
On the ceiling of the corridor, a gigantic living creature wriggled slightly, emitting gurgling and rustling sounds
Two minutes later, the teacher finally announced the end of class, and then the students left the classroom one after another, following the teacher
After listening to the water mirror, her mood calmed down slightly, and she asked, "Then why are you holding me?"
Ling Yu knew that Shui Jing would say this, feeling secretly pleased in his heart, but spoke with a tone of reluctance: "Well, fine. But if we go in together, who will keep watch?"
"I will go by myself, no need for you to pick me up," Shui Jing said, giving Ling Yu a sideways glance, but Ling Yu found this action quite endearing
Suddenly, the two dogs let out a tragic cry, filled with fear and despair. Immediately afterward, with two thuds, Zhang Fugui saw two lumps fall onto the grass in front of his feet. Upon closer inspection, he realized they were the bodies of the two dogs. Their chests and abdomens were punctured as if by a swarm of wasps, covered in blood
Do not go away, listen to my explanation! Ling Yu released the water mirror
He walked gently, just as he came gently; he waved his hand, taking away two hearts
Let us quickly go to the balcony next door! As soon as the words were spoken, Ling Yu took off his backpack and threw it towards the opposite balcony in one go. The distance was just over 5 meters, making it easy to gauge, so it did not fall down to the ground.
After the meeting concluded, Wu Jian and Yu Guang stayed behind, while Mu Rong Huo Wu mentioned that she had other matters to attend to and left first. Finally, Ling Yu walked towards the school gate with Shui Jing
Then it is said ... ...
Zhang Fugui felt the pressure around his neck tightening more and more. He stuck out his tongue and hurriedly shouted, "No! I will tell you, I will tell you!" After a moment of reflection, he added, "That thing seems to have been taken to school by my son."
Ling Yuxin was suddenly startled and opened the door without waiting for Shuijing to be ready
At this moment, neither of the two individuals moved
"Sure, go ahead and ask." The accent was somewhat strange, not like that of a local. Ling Yu replied while observing the young man in front of him.
Because they were all wearing high-end cushioned air shoes (special shoes for thieves), which do not make any noise, they did not take off their shoes
In a state of shock, Ling Yu instinctively contracted the muscles in his legs, attempting to break free, but the more he struggled, the tighter it became entangled.
"Please don't kill me, I can give you any amount of money... I beg you, spare me!" Zhang Fugui cried out in desperation, as he sensed the chilling aura of murderous intent emanating from the young man in the black coat
"President, a major discovery!" Ling Yu's eyes widened, as if he had just learned that he had won the lottery. He handed one of the documents to Yu Guang, then pointed to a photo on one of the passports, saying in a trembling voice: "The mysterious young man I have been tracking is this Chinese student who returned from Italy—his name is Lu Ying!"
Yu Guang still appeared calm and composed. After Ling Yu and Shui Jing took their seats, he handed them a document and continued, "Recently, a piece of news has emerged from within the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the United States. There is a mysterious organization called OPQ that is extending its reach across the globe. Their membership is estimated to be only a few hundred individuals. Although their numbers are not large, all of them are elites, making it difficult even for the FBI to investigate their internal affairs..."
After a hoarse cry, the surroundings quickly fell silent again
The water mirror had long been prepared. Upon hearing the sound of "thud," he immediately raised his arm and threw it. The incendiary device pierced through the darkness enveloped in fear, and with a "bang," a roaring fire ignited.
Turning my head to look, the monster on the third-floor balcony had already been engulfed by flames, and now it had turned into a pile of ash, how could this be...
On the balcony of the second floor, a creature with strange roots and vines unexpectedly emerged, climbing up the wall like a gecko. It extended several vines to grasp two ropes and shook them violently, attempting to dislodge the two prey, Ling Yu and Shui Jing.
The young man in the black coat let out a cold snort, suddenly raised one hand, and grabbed Zhang Fugui by the neck, lifting him off the ground.
Shuijing was momentarily taken aback, then a barely perceptible curve appeared at the corners of her mouth. Her expression at this moment was extremely interesting; her eyes blazed with flames of anger, yet the upward tilt of her eyelids revealed a hint of amusement
I need to get a good night's sleep tonight, as I will be going to She Ri Middle School tomorrow to continue the investigation. I hope that this will be the final stop of this mission
"No, I only brought one," Ling Yu said with a bitter smile
Let us go up. Shui Jing led the way upstairs and turned back to Ling Yu, who was still standing at the door in a daze.
The most effective method, of course, is to sneak into his residence when that guy is not around; there must be important clues there. Ling Yu's response was also quite serious, and without waiting for Yu Guang to consider, he continued to propose: "President, let Shui Jing and me handle this task. For an investigation of this level, I believe two people can manage it well, so there's no need to trouble Wu Jian and Huo Wu." In fact, he truly did not want two more third wheels.
Otherwise, it would be ...! According to the conventions of crime films, if a suddenly disappearing target is not temporarily hiding due to realizing they are being followed, then they will unexpectedly appear behind the pursuer!
Dr. Zhang first arrived at the entrance to turn off the sign light for "Dentist Zhang Ming". Next, the cleaning staff disposed of the used cotton and syringes into the waste chute, then took the small bucket containing the patient's dental blood to the sink, poured out the contaminated water mixed with blood and medication, and finally cleaned the small bucket and the sink.
Subsequently, Lingyu removed the two bamboo poles used for drying clothes from the balcony, extending them downward to the opposite balcony, propping them up at a protruding position outside the balcony.
My father wants me to retrieve an antique that I submitted. How can I get it back
Zhang Fugui struggled in vain for a few moments, his face turning red and his ears burning. Ultimately, he could not withstand the fear of death and betrayed his own son
"It's nothing." Shui Jing took a deep breath, finally regaining her composure, but she seemed a bit shy to look at Ling Yu's face. "Let's leave here quickly."
Ling Yu made a gesture to Shui Jing, who nodded in response. The two then held their breath and stealthily made their way toward the door
Then, Zhang Fugui was horrified to see his chest bloom like a flower, and then, the young man in the black coat reached in with one hand and took out a heart from his chest cavity. The beating heart was connected to the body by blood vessels. Under the white moonlight, one could even see the deep blue venous blood flowing rapidly.
You said, "In the mist, the water mirror appears quite unsettled, for nothing can be seen."
I said, I said... Zhang Wangcai! He is in Class 11 of the first year at She Ri High School
This young man is an investigator sent by a mysterious organization, and in addition, he is the perpetrator of a series of murders, which sends shivers down their spines just thinking about it
Ling Yu explained earnestly, but as he spoke, his voice began to tremble. "Just now, the frozen capsule I threw can temporarily lower our skin temperature below the room temperature. The vibrations caused by the television can mask our footsteps. Wait, all we need to do is hold our breath, and we can rush out in one go!"
Immediately, he arrived at the bathroom and discovered that the shampoo, toothpaste, and other items used by the target were all Italian brands, further confirming that the target was indeed the Lu Ying listed on the passport
The horizontal drainage pipe running externally has a portion of wastewater that did not enter the vertical drainage pipe, but instead leaked out through the crack in the horizontal drainage pipe.
Upon hearing these words, Zhang Fugui's face instantly lost all color. ... After all, Zhao Shan was just murdered the day before yesterday; could it be his turn today ... ! ... The murderer turned out to be this young man !
Then we have no choice but to investigate ourselves. Ling Yu then put forward his own thoughts
The two then climbed back to the balcony on the third floor, intending to take a rest. However, as soon as their feet touched the ground, they heard a tremendous sound as the entire door was ripped from its hinges.
Although this task is merely a simple investigation, there are still inherent dangers. Therefore, to be on the safe side, you must bring some weapons
As soon as it pulls, the bamboo pole shifts, and Lingyu will fall from the fourth floor
Lingyu, do you still have any incendiary grenades
Additionally, Yu Guang also distributed some money to each of them as task funding
This is a relatively quiet street in a dilapidated area, where the lights of a window on the fourth floor of an old six-story building have been turned on
Due to excessive sweating in the palms, the hand on the water mirror began to slip, and the body was gradually being pulled down
After completing all of this, it gathers the flowers as if the performance has come to an end
That person unexpectedly vanished in an instant
You are lying! I have been to your house, and there is nothing there.
Shuijing immediately took out her phone to make a call. Lingyu, seeing this, hurriedly stopped her, saying: "Wait a moment! Shuijing, are you planning to inform the president about that guy going to school right now, hoping that the president will send Wu Jian and Huo Wu to track him down?"
That thing that guy is looking for is actually right here in our school now!" Ling Yu said with certainty
Yu Guang pondered for a moment and felt that Ling Yu probably wanted to take the opportunity to showcase himself. Naturally, he could not dampen his enthusiasm, so he agreed in a firm tone. He then called Shui Jing to come over and asked Ling Yu to explain the specific situation to her.
Ling Yu watched the boy walk away, and couldn't help but speculate: He asked about Class 11 of the first year, clearly wanting to find someone, but he definitely wasn't a student of this school. Why did he ask where the history and culture exhibition was being held? The school's cultural exhibition is not open to the public; one must present a student ID from this school to enter on that day. Knowing that wouldn't be of any use!
Water Mirror, have you noticed that this building is very quiet, so quiet that it feels somewhat eerie
"Woof, woof, woof..." Suddenly, two dogs seemed to sense some movement, turned their heads towards the entrance, and then let out growls of intimidation and warning
Zhang Fugui immediately thought of something and said with a pale face: "Please do not kill my son! I beg you..."
Just now, because Ling Yu bit off the pull tab and had not yet retracted his head, while Shui Jing was leaning forward to throw the incendiary device, their lips accidentally touched... and it was quite forceful.
He spoke while placing the Bible back in its original position, then revealed a sly smile, "I have an idea. We can put it in his drinking water. When he comes back, he will definitely be thirsty and want to drink. Once he faints, we can take back what he has brought. Isn't this a way to do it without anyone knowing?"
The situation is urgent, I need to seek help from the president! Shui Jing used his mobile phone to contact the president, briefly informing him of their predicament
"No, we must act together." Shui Jing also had her own reasons, "Do not forget, you are still a novice. I need to guide you, so you cannot act independently."
Shuijing pondered silently and, finding no better ideas, had no choice but to agree to this despicable plan
Emerging from the alley beside the warehouse, Ling Yu felt extremely frustrated. Could it be that his tracking skills were so poor that he lost the person he was following?
Ling Yu finally understood why he felt that this old building was eerily quiet when he first arrived; it was because these monsters had devoured all the people. Moreover, these monsters seemed capable of sensing the presence of the living, which is why they rushed towards the two of them, viewing Ling Yu and Shui Jing as their after-dinner snacks
After returning home at noon, Ling Yu immediately called Yu Guang and asked him to go to the club, as he needed to report this special situation to him in person
After that boy left the school, he called a taxi to leave. Of course, Ling Yu also called a taxi to follow behind. The driver was quite apprehensive and asked Ling Yu if he intended to harm someone; if so, he would not take Ling Yu's business. Ling Yu shot a glare at the driver and said, "If you don't drive, I'll harm you!" The driver dared not say another word.
Water Mirror
Yu Guanghe smiled amiably and said, "There will be plenty of opportunities to go abroad, but this time we can conduct the investigation without leaving the country. According to the intelligence gathered by the hacker I hired, the FBI discovered that the OPQ organization had taken action at its branch in Italy half a month ago, and they sent people to our country C.
"You should leave, staying here will only lead to your demise, hurry and go!" Shui Jing cried with tears in her eyes, as the monster's tendrils were tearing at her clothes, eager to taste the tender flesh and blood of the young girl
"Use the sensing camera," Shui Jing said, taking out a camera no larger than a thumb from his backpack, along with a small display. "Stick it at the entrance of the building; as soon as someone passes by, it will capture the image and then transmit it to the display"
"Why are you asking about the warehouse where those historical artifacts are stored?" The teacher from the Organization Department displayed a look of suspicion.
As for the identity and appearance of that person, the FBI is also unaware. Shortly after that day, a series of bizarre homicides occurred in City G, as documented. You may take a look at the information.
He believes that by killing those people, he is helping them escape all the troubles of the earthly world. After their death, they transform into plants, able to simply enjoy the air, sunlight, and water. Is this not an ultimate form of happiness for them?
Now they cannot leave, as there is a lot of noise coming from the balcony, as if two monsters are fighting. It seems that those two monsters have also arrived at the balcony, and it is feared that they will enter this room in a little while. At that time, it will truly be a dead end.
Found it! The water mirror brought the red incendiary device to its mouth, intending to bite off the pull ring, but in the haste, it couldn't see clearly and missed several times.
It turned out that both of them saw a strange phenomenon through the peephole: there was no one at the door across from them, yet a key was inserted in the lock, and Ling Yu did not see any shadows in the corridor either
Ling Yu originally thought that the boy would give up so easily, but as he reached the corner on the second floor, a teacher happened to come up. Ling Yu recognized this teacher; he was a faculty member from the activities department, often seen at various large events. The boy called out to the teacher and then began to converse.
Both individuals retreated far from the doorway. After that strange root fell down, five or six more roots, each as thick as a wrist, extended in. They resembled eerie large hands, grasping the entire lower part of the door panel, which then emitted a harsh sound akin to "creaking" as if the wood was splitting.
He waved his hand, taking away two hearts
Yesterday, the school held a cultural history exhibition, and the teacher issued a notice hoping that students could bring some items of historical value from home to participate in the exhibition. After the exhibition, the items could be retrieved. My son did not want to feel embarrassed for not bringing anything, so I mentioned this to him. He was worried that those valuable antiques might be damaged by the other students, so he casually handed over the tattered parchment he had recently acquired to my son.
Ling Yu was ordered to stay in the living room to conduct a search. The living room was small and had few furnishings, so he completed the search in no time. He then intended to go into the room to assist Shui Jing, but suddenly realized that Shui Jing probably wouldn't appreciate that, as many of the actions involved in the search were not particularly graceful, and girls would likely feel embarrassed to be seen in such moments.
Shuijing raised her eyes, looking at Lingyu's face with a sense of curiosity. She did not respond, but her attentive expression indicated that she was waiting for further words
At this moment, Zhang Fugui felt an overwhelming shock, for in that instant, he had not seen how the youth, who was seven or eight meters away from him, had knocked the hunting gun out of his hand
You also joined the club through an assessment, and I trust the president's judgment
The remaining four exchanged glances, as they had not anticipated that Ling Yu would deduce such important information immediately after reading it. Ling Yu glanced at Shui Jing and noticed that she was looking at him with a look of astonishment, which instantly provided a great sense of satisfaction to his vanity
"There is a firebomb secured in the inner pocket of my coat. If you take it out, that monster should be afraid of fire!" Ling Yu carried some defensive or offensive weapons on him just in case.
He couldn't clearly see the names of the people above, and he felt a sense of disinterest, making a weary expression. Just as he was about to turn and leave, a boy next to him called out, "Excuse me, I would like to ask for directions"
