Siren Blade

Chapter 44 The Succubus Appears
"Is there someone?" Qiao Licao hurriedly looked, "Where?"

"There." I pointed to the rooftop of a residential building in the distance.

On the rooftop over there stood a blurry figure, who seemed to be just standing there.However, I vaguely noticed that he was looking this way.To be precise, he was looking at Joan's house.It was a rather definite, voyeuristic look.

With my current eyesight, even if the sky is dark at this time, and separated by such a long distance, it is reasonable to be able to see the specific appearance of that figure clearly.But there seems to be a strange force hiding it, and even I can only vaguely catch the existence of that figure.I am very familiar with this hidden power, which is based on spirituality.That figure was probably a warlock.

In order to prevent the figure from noticing the gaze from this side, I carefully hid my gaze.

"...I can't see clearly." Qiao Gancao tried his best to look into the distance, and finally said this.

At the moment, I think of other things, "I think... Maybe there is no need to assume, the person who spied on Joan in the past should be the middleman."

"Have you discovered anything new?" She shifted her attention.

I asked her the other way around, "Yesterday when Blue Bird and I fell into a different dimension, you said that you came to rescue us because you happened to be nearby, right?"

"Yes."

"So what were you doing around here?"

"It was evening, and I wanted to find the person who was spying on Joan, so I searched here..." As she spoke, she suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

"That's right, that's how it is. At that time, Blue Bird was imprisoned in a different space by him and the succubus soon after he discovered the body of the middleman, and Ni, who was near the entrance of the different space, was in the area of ​​Qiao An's house..." I said "In other words, the body of the middleman was also near Qiao An's house before being discovered by the blue bird. So, why is he here?"

"Because he's spying on Joan here..." she read, "So it's not accidental that I happen to be near the entrance of a different space..."

Immediately afterwards, she asked again, "But wait, is it the middleman who is watching over there? If Joan has already been caught by him...then why is he still standing there watching?"

"Maybe Joan was involved in other secret incidents..." I thought of peeping at myself in school.

The owner of that gaze is definitely not an intermediary.If a warlock at the level of a middleman looks at me hostilely, it will definitely bring me a certain sense of threat.And the owner of that gaze, even if he has power, is at most a piece of trash.But even if it was a miscellaneous fish, if it showed its fangs to Joan, it would be enough to pose a threat that could not be ignored.

Qiao An is really unlucky enough, he was involved in the campus strange talk incident, and was targeted by an inexplicable perverted murderer, and now he may be targeted by unknown eyes...

In the dream, I would definitely think that "it is impossible to encounter three supernormal events in a row", but it is not so impossible for a person with high awareness.

"You report to the Security Bureau first, and I'll go to the rooftop over there." After finishing speaking, I sneaked towards the residential building in the distance alone.

Not long after, I quietly went up to the roof over there, and saw a figure standing on the edge of the roof.

Although I haven't seen the front, I have already been able to outline his frontal appearance with my own perception, and at the same time, I have thoroughly confirmed that he is the middleman.It was a man in his 40s with a mature face, like a commuter with a tired expression often seen on the slightly shaking subway.He was wearing crumpled black clothes, his back was almost integrated with the night, and he looked like a ghost who would be overturned and fell at any time in the strong wind on the roof.Who would have thought that this kind of person is actually a perverted murderer who likes to hunt men?
But I have my doubts about his criminal motives.

The information showed that he was really a guy who lived a fairly ordinary life in the past, without any signs of abnormal criminal psychology.Even if he exterminates his friend's family of three based on some personal grievances, it won't cause him to suddenly develop a habit of hunting men.

Perhaps those crimes had something to do with his knowledge of demons.The devil likes perverted and depraved killings. In order to please the devil and gain forbidden power from it, he will dress up many men as women with similar features and commit crimes.

That similar appearance may also have some ritual significance.In the past, the ancients who offered sacrifices to heaven and earth would tie grass into the shape of a dog and call it a "straw dog" as a living animal sacrifice.This kind of deceitful ritual can be used not only in offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, but also in offering sacrifices to demons, but after all, it cannot compare to a more sincere living sacrifice.But now, is the reason why he is following Joan because Joan is more in line with the conditions of an ideal living sacrifice in his mind?
I tried to sneak up behind him and deliver the killing blow.After walking a few steps, I stopped.Although he hadn't turned around yet, I realized that he had clearly noticed my presence, and his "gaze" was firmly on my body like a nail.

"When you were in school, did the teacher tell you the difference between humans and animals?" He asked without looking back.

I simply stopped covering up my tracks and asked, "Do you think you are not a beast?"

"I am a beast." He said without hesitation, and then changed the subject, "Everyone is a beast."

"Is this how you persuaded yourself to lose your conscience?" While answering the conversation, I looked around.I can't see the succubus for the time being, is it because if Qiao An is the target, there is no need for a two-person team?This is a good opportunity.

At the same time, I was also thinking about his words, and I seemed to feel some of his criminal psychology.

A long time ago, I listened to the teacher talk about the difference between humans and animals, and I was very disdainful in my heart. I thought that humans are not animals. , looks stupid.

And I don't have such arrogant thoughts anymore, I can clearly grasp the truth that people are animals, and I feel like everyone is drunk and I am alone.

Later, I got out of this feeling.In the final analysis, nature never defines the presence or absence of differences. Differences are defined by humans, and even the conclusion that there is no difference is drawn by humans themselves.And if I can define for myself whether there is a difference between humans and animals, then I definitely hope that as a human being I am better than animals.

"Animals act according to their own desires, but humans can formulate morality based on desires and act according to morality." I gave the old and boring answer like my previous teacher, and summoned the Siren Blade.

"Moral... Are you worthy of talking about morality?" He turned around with a smile, "A man who behaves like a beast is a demon. Do you think you can change a human being by joining the Security Bureau, Li Duo the demon?"

Yes, in the final analysis, I am also a beast, no different from him.Talking between beasts and beasts, but proclaiming the word morality, it is really ridiculous.

But I still want to struggle, and I want to be a good person in the last few years.

So I slashed at him without hesitation.

There were still more than 20 steps in the middle, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.While I was doing it, he took out a long bone knife from nowhere, and immediately entered the posture of fighting for life, which was shown at the end of the last battle with the blue bird. The form of offering life.His whole body's skin turned red, his body swelled, and human face-like imprints appeared everywhere on his body, and the sense of threat he brought to me has risen by more than one level.Compared with him, warlocks at the level of Old Bone seemed like weak and ordinary people.

But it didn't work.It seems that he thought he would have time to react in this form of burning life explosion.However, my advance speed obviously exceeded his expectations, he only had time to put the long bone knife across his chest before he was hit by me.The long bone knife was shattered in an instant, and his body was blown out of the roof by me.

He shot into the place where fitness equipment was placed on the ground tens of meters away like an arrow from the string, and his body sank into the ground under the high-speed impact.However, he will not die at this level. Blue Bird said that he has super-speed regeneration ability, even if he is injured, he will be repaired in a blink of an eye, just in case he still has to destroy his brain.

I jumped down from the roof, in order to reach the middle man at the highest speed. While falling, I slammed heavily on the wall of the building behind me, causing my body to shoot out like a cannonball.About three or four floors of windows were shattered by this blow. Although there will be a security bureau to deal with the aftermath and compensate for it, this kind of behavior cannot be said to be problem-free after all.Just now I was still saying that I wanted to be a human being, but in the eyes of the residents whose windows were broken, I am afraid that I will not be much better.

Following the force of the high-speed dive, I swung the ax blade in front of the man in the middle tens of meters away in a blink of an eye, but this kind of straight-line attack is easy to be seen through after all. He rolled on the ground to avoid the blow, and fled to Outside the community.

I immediately chased after it.At this time, there were still some scattered passers-by in the community. He seemed to see some hope, and while running away, he shouted without looking back, "Don't chase after them! These people are my hostages!"

Hearing this, I gave full play to my moral disadvantage and asked him, "Do you think this will work for me?"

When he heard it, he really didn't attack passers-by, and kept running away.

Attacking passers-by will also slow down his escape speed, which is a risky behavior for him, maybe he gave up after some weighing.This made me secretly relieved. If he suddenly grabbed someone from the side of the road, I really don't know what to do.

In just a few seconds, I chased after him and attacked.He quickly turned around and blocked it with the long bone knife—the weapon that was shattered just now came out again. It seemed that the long bone knife was some kind of weapon that could be summoned repeatedly.The sturdiness is also quite good. Although facing the Siren Blade, it was shattered with just one blow, but it can be regarded as successfully fulfilling the mission of protecting the master.The man in the middle was only torn open with a flesh wound where the bones could be seen, and was pushed back at the same time, but did not hurt the internal organs.

He touched his wound, his face changed drastically.

"You actually regained your strength...Why did you deal with me? Is it because of the order of the Security Bureau?" He asked angrily, "Or to protect the boy? He never came home, and he was sent away by you Yet?"

It seems that Qiao An didn't go home and didn't answer the phone. It really wasn't his fault, but another accident.

As for the reason why I have to deal with the middleman, on the one hand, it is to get rid of violence, and on the other hand, it is to obtain the memory contained in the fragments of his spirit body.But these words, if told to him, will not be believed, or will only be detrimental to himself after being exposed.I simply responded to the question with a question, "Why are you following him? Is it because of your perverted fetish, or...is it to initiate some kind of depraved sacrifice to the devil?"

"Pervert hobbies? Degenerate sacrifices? These are obviously the things you like to do the most, Li Duo." He sneered again and again, "You have had sex with that sea monster countless times, and you have killed countless times for that sea monster, even if it is placed Among us demon warlocks, we can also be called perverted and depraved to the extreme."

"What is the purpose of you lurking as a black market middleman for many years? Is there some kind of long-term conspiracy plan in the black market in Liucheng?" What I said at this moment is also the question that Jade Bird has always had.

However, although I didn't communicate much with the middleman in front of me, I was vaguely aware of his true character.Jade Bird's perception outside of battle is sharper than mine, but there are some things that she can't see, but I can.Maybe it's because I also have a filthy soul, so I have some inhumane instincts for the same filthy soul.

"Could it be...you don't have any conspiracy at all." When I said this, I also felt a little arbitrary, but I followed the perception in my heart and said it naturally, "With your strength, even in a certain It is enough to gain status in some powerful organizations, but the reason why you succumb to the position of a small black market middleman is because... you like to get along with the weak? Or, you like the environment full of the weak, and you like to be ravaged in this environment Weak?"

"Hmph... so what?" In the end, I really hit the mark, and his reaction told me that his motive for lurking in the black market for many years is really that simple.

"The strong want to ravage the weak! The reason why people strive to become strong is to be able to ravage those who are weaker than themselves!" He said convincingly, "If you can't ravage the weak, why do you want to become strong? Don't you want to Do you want to be like those honest gentlemen who say that it is an honor to draw a knife to a stronger person, and it is a disgrace to do otherwise? A joke! It is so good to draw a knife to a stronger person, so why do you have to become stronger? As long as you don’t become stronger, the world in this world There are people everywhere who can provide themselves with glory, aren't they!"

Hearing him speak these fallacies so straightforwardly, I almost felt that what he said was very reasonable.

As soon as he finished speaking, he simply threw a long bone knife at me, and he took the opportunity to turn around and run into the alley beside the road.

I smashed the long knife with my backhand and chased into the alley.

But at this moment, a woman came out from the alley.The woman's appearance was so beautiful that it seemed inhuman.The man in the middle stopped further away and looked towards me.

I immediately realized that this woman was the succubus mentioned by Blue Bird.

The succubus smiled at me, and with this smile, a wave of spirituality spread out.

She used charm on me!
