Siren Blade

Chapter 70

The movements on the side of the house warlock attracted the attention of other warlocks in the lobby. What he shouted was only a few words, but it was enough to remind people of certain things.Some people seem to have realized my true identity, and there is suspicion and confusion in their eyes.

I silently prepared myself that someone might come and make trouble for my true identity.For example, the acquaintances and friends of Saber Tooth here, or the law enforcement warlock who fights against injustice, etc.But after waiting for a while, no one came out, maybe I was delusional about being persecuted too much.

Qiao Licao glared at the onlookers around, and then said to the internal affairs warlock who was in charge of receiving us: "He is now an official member of the Security Bureau, and at the same time is a law enforcement warlock directly under Lie Que. If you treat us too much If you are rude, don’t blame us for being rude.”

Don't blame us for being rude, what kind of rude method are you planning to do?Could it be that he intends to "Li Duo, hit him"?

While I'm having these thoughts, Joe Licorice is speaking for me.She is so unhesitating and so clear-cut, which is the complete opposite of the timid White Rabbit impression I had when we first met.Perhaps she also summoned up the courage in her heart to be able to speak out these words in the lobby of the Security Bureau in other places.In fact, I have moved emotions, and I will not sing against her in public.

The house warlock seemed to be taken aback too. He glanced at me again, as if imagining something in his mind, and finally said convincingly: "I understand."

It seems that my notoriety also has some effect in Tianhe City.

I still maintained a non-interrupted posture, while Qiao Gancao continued, "Then, we want to meet your main force here. Where is he?"

"Well, I don't know," said the house warlock.

"You don't know?" Qiao Licao raised her eyebrows high, "Then who knows?"

"I don't know about that either." The house warlock said, "He usually appears and disappears, so it's hard to contact him."

"The main force is still elusive..." Qiao Gancao said uncomfortably, "Lack of discipline..."

The house warlock said disapprovingly: "Aren't all the main force levels like this?"

"According to our files here, you only have Yuchi as the main force, but just in case I ask again, do you have other main forces?" Qiao Gancao asked.

Under normal circumstances, there is only one main force in a city.In other words, there is always a relationship between cities and the main force, and some cities don't even have the main force.It is very rare that Liucheng gathers two main players, me and Jade Bird (of course, I only have the strength of a main player, but there is no corresponding official title in the file), and the absence of a national main player is very rare. .

The main force of Tianhe City is "Yuchi". Unfortunately, I only know his code name, but I don't know what abilities he has, and I don't even know what he looks like.The drawbacks of the secrecy style of the warlock group came out here again. They were obviously members of the official organization, and there was no need to hide their heads and tails. They were still such an important role. As a result, there were only written materials in the archives of the Liucheng Security Bureau. Can't even see a photo.

The electronic archives of the security bureaus in different cities are still not even interoperable, and now it is almost 2, which is really inconvenient and has a limit.And that's why Qiao Gancao would ask that question. The security bureaus of different cities are not transparent to each other, so there is no guarantee that there will be a No. [-] main force here, but Liucheng doesn't know about it.

By the way, I asked Qingniao about Yuchi's information, but unfortunately she didn't know her either.Although she stayed in Yuchi's family for a while, but because of her special position at that time, the family was very feudal, and the seniority was quite strict. The main magician in the family was a "big man" that she couldn't see at that time .Of course, it is possible to have seen it, but it is like the seven aunts and eight aunts who only met during the Chinese New Year. If you can recognize them again the next day, you have a good memory. It has been five years, and it is difficult for her to remember. .

The house warlock said helplessly: "No more, we are different from yours, only a main force."

"Then find a way to help us contact Yuchi." Qiao Gancao said, "Just say that our mission is related to the blood-biting of the half-blood demon, and we may need to rely on the power of the main law enforcement warlock."

"I've made a note." The house warlock nodded.

After a few words, the reporting matter was considered to be over.The housekeeper turned to leave, and Joe Licorice looked back at me, "What are you going to do next?"

"Go to the hunter first." I said.

"Hunter... Speaking of which, he said before that you have a cursed aura..." She showed a thoughtful look on her face, "Isn't it because you 'can't think about it' last time, so why did the blue bird curse you? No, Qingniao is reluctant to cast a curse on you... Let me think about it, a few days ago I secretly analyzed what countermeasures Qingniao's psychology would take against you... I remember, combined with the current situation, she probably did something The agency forced you to cast a curse on her unconsciously?"

She can analyze it all... It's the first time I've seen her show a psychoanalyst side.

I didn't confirm her conjecture, but she continued, "But Blue Bird is only good at fighting, and curses are also an unfamiliar field for her, so she didn't hide her traces properly... She has improved so fast , It took only five years to become the main force level, which shows that she is indeed a real genius. But she is still too anxious, too focused on strength, and she forcibly skipped many other training links with her talent. Put those links Jumping over is both her strength and her flaw."

"And these are all to save you, Li Duo." She ended with such a sentence with a smile.

Because I didn't know how to start a conversation, maybe because I was a little shy, I changed the subject, "The hunter should be in the morgue, let's go there first."

"I heard that the Tianhe City Security Bureau used Fengshui in terms of layout. They should build the mortuary there..." Qiao Gancao, as a real warlock, is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable, even familiar with Fengshui Speaking of which, she also used a tool like a Taoist compass when she helped me and the blue bird escape from the different space.

She actually led the way and walked ahead to talk to me, "That hunter seems to be in a bad state."

"Maybe he's trying to kill himself," I said.

"Is that so?" She was rather surprised.

"You are so sharp when dissecting the blue bird, but you can't see what the hunter is thinking?" I was a little unconfident when I asked this question, even Qiao Licorice was surprised. Could it be that my guess was wrong, and it was too wrong?
"I can't see it," she said frankly, and then asked, "Have you ever heard of the saying 'the aura on the stairs'?"

"I've heard of it." I replied while recalling.This expression is a French proverb, which means that when you are in a dispute with others, under the pressure of the spot, often only pale words can emerge; When I slowly calmed down, powerful and eloquent words appeared in my mind like a magic trick, but it was too late.

"As for me, I was prone to stage fright since I was a child. Although I gradually corrected it when I grew up, I still can only use my full strength when I am alone. Like the professional ability of a psychoanalyst, I can only face the monitor and keyboard. Once I’m away from the computer, I’m not Joe Licorice the analyst, I’m just Joe Licorice,” she said.

"The so-called 'keyboard psychologist'?" I asked.

"It's different, keyboard experts are laymen who don't know what they don't know," she said.

We soon found the hunter in the morgue, looking down at the body in the large drawer of the morgue freezer.

Looking at him, I actually had an illusion that he seemed no different from that corpse at this time.The aura of a dying person lingers on his body. It is the aura of death that only emerges from people who are completely desperate for their own lives and want to take the initiative to put their feet into the coffin.Maybe I had the same temperament in the past.

"Is this an evil move?" I looked at the corpse.

He nodded with inexplicable sense of loss, "Yes."

I stared at the body.

This was the remains of a middle-aged man who was about the same age as the hunter and was beginning to show signs of decline.

It was he who ordered the Demon of the Fog to go to Daylight...

Because there are such things as clones in the world of warlocks, after killing certain warlock criminals, the Security Bureau will store their remains and keep them for a few days to see the subsequent changes in the remains to determine whether the other party is taking them. Doppelganger cheating death.

But this body is definitely not a clone.Not only my perception is making such a judgment, but there are also blood-biting testimonies.

Bite Blood mentioned in Succubus's memory that Evil Move sacrificed all his vitality in order to order the Demon of Mist.

Therefore, the evil trick must be dead, and it can't die anymore.

"Didn't you have a grudge against him?" I asked, "Are you upset when you saw his dead body?"

"It's a long story," said the hunter sadly, but didn't intend to delve into the subject.

He looked at it for a while, then pushed the big drawer back into the freezer.

We left the morgue and moved towards the exit of the Security Bureau.Although I don't know what's going on with the hunter, but the evil move seems to involve some of his unspeakable past, so I don't plan to go deeper.

Besides, the purpose of my trip has nothing to do with evil tricks... No, how could it have nothing to do with it.

Not only is it related, but it is very related.

In my "follow-up investigation of the fog incident in Bairi Town" task, there is also an important part of "investigating the tentacles of the fog demon still surviving in Tianhe City".Although I can't understand why those fog demon tentacles still exist, but the evil move is the summoner of the fog demon, and maybe some clues can be found on this dead man.

I don't know how many unrelated people's sacrifices will be caused by those tentacles of the mist demon hiding in the city. If it can be solved as soon as possible, then it is better to solve it as soon as possible.Although the affairs of Tianhe City should be under the jurisdiction of the Tianhe City Security Bureau, as I am visiting Tianhe City this time, it is not that I am not without a helping hand.

Maybe I'll have to figure out how to get my words out of the hunter.

And when we returned to the lobby, a small accident happened.

A slightly familiar figure slowly walked in from the main entrance of the Security Bureau in the distance.

It's saber tooth!
When I saw him, he saw me too.

I watched him silently.The reason why I say that his figure is only "slightly familiar" is because he looks very different from the last time I parted from me, compared to the hunter.

The serious injury he received not long ago seemed to have not healed much, and his whole body was even more bony, but some kind of strong and boiling emotion supported his frame from within.But his face was unbelievably emaciated, and gloomy as if he had sucked poisonous water, filled with a sickly twisted aura that seemed to be unable to extricate himself from the strong self-torture emotion.

Why did he become like this, and how could I have no idea?

His biological father died at my hands in such a horrific manner, how could such bloody feud be let go casually.

Because I have the principle that I can't back down, so I have to let go of the hatred?
Could it be that there are only principles that cannot be backed down, and there is no hatred that cannot be backed down?

When he saw Bairi Town after the fog had cleared, a corner of his heart might have slightly agreed with me, and the principles in his heart might have temporarily overwhelmed the hatred.However, hate is sometimes longer than love, even timeless.Only revenge is the most effective way to revenge.He must have regretted it, why he didn't kill me at that time, why he insisted on principle instead of hatred at that time.

Besides——I think, I may not be a good person in line with his principles.

Maybe I should find a way to lift the blue bird's curse.

But I also understand that it only solves the superficial problem.

This curse is essentially an intuitive manifestation of Jade Bird's ideas.Even if this curse is lifted, I can no longer abandon the blue bird to pay back my life to the victim.Because from the moment I realized that Jade Bird would even cast such a curse on myself in order to stop me, no matter whether there was this curse or not, I couldn't guarantee what Jade Bird would do after I paid my life.

And that was her real blessing upon me, and at the same time her real curse.

My life is no longer just my own.

Saber Tooth stared at me with eyes full of twisted obsession.What will he say to me next?What will you do to me?And what expression should I show when facing his words and sharp blade?I waited hesitantly for his further action.But he didn't go any further.Instead, he took a step back.

He turned around and walked away as quickly as if he was running away.

The only thing I didn't expect was this reaction, and I stared dumbfounded at his disappearing figure.Why was he the one who ran away?If I want to run away, I should run away.

Should I go after it?But even if I catch up, what should I do?

Qiao Licao's voice came from the side, "Was that person just now Saber Tooth?"

It was only then that I noticed that she was concentrating on examining my expression, but just now my attention was all focused on Saber Tooth, and I didn't have the energy to pay attention to her reaction.The hunter, on the other hand, looked at the direction of Saber Tooth with a complicated face. He had raided the stronghold of Saber Tooth once, and perhaps in his opinion, he was also the one who would be sought by Saber Tooth for revenge.

"Why did he go?" said the hunter to himself.

Under Joe Licorice's gaze, I said insincerely: "I don't know. But it's best to avoid him."

The hunter was stunned for some reason, "...Are you also afraid of being revenged?"

"Of course I'm afraid," I said.

"That's it. Even you will be afraid..." Hearing this, the hunter actually showed an extremely reassuring expression.

It was as if he had finally let go of a big rock in his heart, and the lifelessness in his body was faintly showing a tendency to fade.
