inside the house.
Auntie looked up at the clock on the wall, dazed.
The table full of dishes in front of him was already cold, almost the same as when Lin Qiye left.
After an unknown amount of time, Yang Jin stretched out his hand, picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks, and put it into his aunt's bowl.
"Mom, let's eat."
"Alas..." Auntie shook her head and sighed, "Tell me, your brother ran out in the middle of the meal and why hasn't he come back yet? Is something going to happen?"
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to him. Maybe my classmates saw that his eyes were healed and insisted on taking him out to eat." Yang Jin comforted softly.
After hearing Yang Jin's words, her aunt's expression relaxed obviously, but then she became worried again.
"But he went out without an umbrella."
"Mom..." Yang Jin stood up, pointed out the window, and spoke calmly,
"The rain has stopped."
…
The rain has indeed stopped.
The hazy moonlight penetrated from the clouds and sprinkled on the quiet and deserted night, everything was silent.
In the open space not far away, the broken notice board had been taken away, and the flesh and blood on the ground had been cleaned up. Only the hideous knife marks on the ground were left, silently telling everything about last night.
Maybe tomorrow morning, someone will discover this mysterious crack. They will make many guesses, but they will never know the truth of the matter.
A few drops of rain slid down the eaves and fell into the small muddy pond, causing ripples.
Snap—!
One foot stepped on the pond, causing a splash of water.
In the dark night, in an open space full of knife marks, a little black mangy dog was walking leisurely.
Around his neck hung a small cloth bag.
It passed through the cracks came to a clean open space and stopped.
Ten minutes ago, a man's body lay here.
It lowered its head, a faint light emerging from its dark eyes.
Sudden,
It opens its mouth,
Speaking people's words,
The sound is deep and loud!
"The soul is back..."
…
Cangnan City, Heping Bridge.
Heping Bridge is a bridge on the outskirts of Cangnan City. Under the bridge is the Jiangnan Grand Canal that crosses the entire Cangnan City. Countless pedestrians and vehicles pass by this bridge every day, and it is considered one of the landmarks of Cangnan City.
At the end of the Heping Bridge, there are many small stores on both sides. In one of the stores that seems to be the most inconspicuous, there is an old red sign.
——Peace Office.
Like other stores next to Heping Bridge, it is not big, just over 200 square meters, which is just a little bigger than the Lanzhou Ramen next to the average school.
To say it is inconspicuous is not only because the name is too popular, but most importantly, the storefronts on both sides of it are too conspicuous.
On the left is a very festive and popular wedding company called "Peace Wedding".
On the right is a one-stop funeral shop called "Peace Funeral Shop" with white satin hanging everywhere and wreaths placed everywhere.
The wedding on the left is full of smiles, and the funeral on the right is like mourning an heir.
In the middle of these two extremes, the Peace Office is like a transparent store, unable to attract anyone's attention at all.
If you have to say something special, it might be its name. General firms have different specializations. There are law firms that specialize in litigation, detective firms that specialize in solving crimes, and accounting firms that specialize in settling accounts. Place...
But this store does not have any prefix, only the word "peace", making it impossible to figure out what it is for.
At this moment, the Peace Office is underground.
In the spacious and bright hall, a young man was sitting on the sofa with his head down, staring at the floor tiles under his feet, silent.
There are six people sitting in this hall.
"So, you are the agent of Seraph that Lao Zhao is responsible for finding?" Wu Xiangnan sat on the sofa on the other side looked at Lin Qiye and asked.
"That's right."
After a short silence, Wu Xiangnan slowly spoke:
"My name is Wu Xiangnan, and I am the deputy captain of the Night Watch Team 136 stationed in Cangnan City. The man in black clothes leaning against the pillar is the captain Chen Muye."
Lin Qiye followed Wu Xiangnan's gaze and saw that beside a pillar not far away, a man with his hands in his pockets was watching him silently.
Sensing Lin Qiye's gaze, Chen Muye nodded slightly.
Wu Xiangnan turned his head and looked at the remaining four people, "Stop standing there stupidly, and let me introduce you."
At this moment, the woman sitting alone on the single sofa, hugging her legs and with wet hair, raised her head slightly, revealing a pair of red eyes.
"Night Watch Team 136, frontal combat power, Hongying."
Lin Qiye knew her, and the reason why she appeared here was because Hongying brought her here.
After Hongying finished speaking, the man standing next to her with a towel in his hand smiled and said:
"Night Watch Team 136, frontal combat capability, Wen Qimo."
Immediately afterward, the girl who was hugging a ball on the side and also crying in tears slightly raised her head and said softly: "Night Watch Team 136, combat auxiliary and part-time military doctor, Si Xiaonan."
"Night Watch Team 136, long-range fire support, Leng Xuan." The man sitting aside with a sniper rifle said coldly.
Seeing that everyone had introduced themselves, Wu Xiangnan spoke again:
"Classmate Lin Qiye, right? Regarding Zhao Kongcheng's death in battle...do you have anything else to add?"
"I have made it very clear." Lin Qiye said calmly, "Zhao Kongcheng opened the [Unprecedented Airspace], fought to the death with the Ghost-Faced King alone, and eventually died together."
"Were you there when they were fighting?"
"I am here."
"How did you enter [Unprecedented Airspace]?"
"Give it a look and it'll open."
Wu Xiangnan opened his mouth and frowned slightly, "Can you describe to me in detail the scene of their battle? For example, how did Zhao Kongcheng kill the Ghost-Faced King?"
"He swung his sword, cut out a huge black crescent moon, and chopped off the head of the Ghost-Faced King." Lin Qiye said.
"Black crescent moon..." Wu Xiangnan frowned and thought.
At this moment, Chen Muye, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke: "It's [The Flashing Moon]. Old Zhao used the ghost and god... to activate his own forbidden ruins."
Wen Qimo said in surprise: "Sequence 083 [The Flashing Moon]? That's a high-risk forbidden ruin!"
"I didn't expect... Uncle Zhao really hit the mark. I thought he was just narcissistic before..." Si Xiaonan pursed his lips and spoke weakly.
"No, he is just narcissistic." Chen Muye raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and a trace of recollection flashed in his eyes, "I think that guy couldn't believe it when he saw his forbidden ruins, right?"
"If we were there at that time, he would definitely pester us and say that his Forbidden Ruins is the most handsome of all..." Hongying seemed to have thought of some interesting scene, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly, but soon her eyes lit up. It dimmed.
Wu Xiangnan looked into Lin Qiye's eyes and spoke again: "There is another question. Judging from the corpse of the Ghost-Faced King, its fatal injuries were a series of knife wounds and inexplicable burn marks... But [The Flashing Moon] does not seem to have this characteristic,
How is this going? "
Lin Qiye frowned, looked into Wu Xiangnan's eyes, and spoke word by word:
"I have made it very clear that Zhao Kongcheng will face the Ghost-Faced King alone and fight to the death...
In the end, the Ghost-Faced King was killed alone! "
