Siren Blade

Chapter 92 Lie Que and Bai Ju

The risk of telling Lie Que his secret is of course not limited to the possibility of being blocked from obtaining information channels in the future.Devouring the soul of the person I killed sounds very evil in itself, and considering that I have a dark history of feeding the person I killed to something other than human beings, it is simply a "demon heretic". Four words are written on the forehead.

Seeing me admit it directly, Lie Que's eyes became even more stern, "Since when did you start devouring other people's souls?"

"The old bone was first," I said.

He then asked, "Hasn't it happened before?"

I shook my head, "Never."

"Really... Then, how did you solve the problem of memory pollution?" His tone loosened. "It's impossible for you to absorb so many other people's memories without affecting your own personality."

I selectively tell the truth, "The Siren Blade can filter out most of the unnecessary information for me, and only present the part I need."

"Well... it's because the memory is stored in the weapon. The weapon functions like an electronic archive, can you retrieve the corresponding information based on keywords..." He thought deeply, and then asked me, "You How do you feel about your behavior?"

"At least I didn't violate the hidden law." According to the hunter, I am now a member of the law camp.Although I am not so interested in the factions within the Security Bureau, even if I am just a law enforcement warlock, I must at least have a general grasp of what law I am enforcing.So I still read the hidden law in general.

Due to the "guilty heart of being a thief", I carefully checked whether there is any record in the hidden law that prohibits devouring souls, but it seems that there is no specific description anywhere.

Spiritual body and physical body, which one is the essence of human beings, is still under debate in the world of warlocks.The definition of a person's spiritual body in the hidden law is more similar to the resources and wealth that a person possesses than the person himself.Generally speaking, if things develop to the point of devouring a person's spirit body, then the person must have been killed. This is undoubtedly a serious "murder for money" and of course it should be treated as a crime .

But if this kind of thing happened in the process of dealing with the demon warlock, it would be a different matter.

"The hidden law does not specifically prohibit the devouring of human souls, and as a law enforcement warlock, in the process of dealing with demon warlocks, even if you use extreme means, you will be allowed to a limited extent. What's more, it is not you who executes the devouring , but your weapon. What is devoured is not the complete spirit body, but the fragments of the spirit body, in other words, the soul that has already disappeared." At this point, he changed the subject, "But Even if you did not violate the hidden law, what you did still seriously violated the ethics and morals of warlocks."

"As a law enforcer, I cannot punish you on the basis of the law; but as your superior, I still have the power to restrain you." He said, "I hope you... no, I order you, from now on you can only devour sinners soul. As for other than human beings, it is up to you.”

"Aren't you prohibiting me from continuing to use this ability?" I asked.

"It's not uncommon for law enforcement warlocks to be more radical than you. If you think that as long as you are in the legal camp, you must be rigid, then you are very wrong. With warlocks and criminals who have no taboos as opponents, rigidly following the rules will only make yourself We are approaching a dead end. As long as we don’t violate the secret law, we never mind using some 'cunning' means." He said, "Your precious information is also, if you don't use special means, you can't get it. "

"Although it's not very good from my point of view, the information I sent you doesn't contain any objective evidence, and it's possible that it's all my nonsense, right? Shouldn't you doubt it again?" I asked.

"It is because I believe in your personality that I released you. The possibility of you lying to me about this kind of thing is not even one in ten thousand." He said firmly, and continued, "But What you said is not unreasonable. Your intelligence is not enough to convince the public, so I will speak to the headquarters in person. As long as there are clear goals and a large number of people from the security bureaus in various places, the investigation will definitely speed up. Objective evidence It will come out soon too.”

Only then did I realize that because of what I said, there might be a lot of manpower and material resources to operate in the future.Even felt restless.

"Continue to talk about your matter. If I read correctly, you still have an obsession with the sea monster, and even want to recover its severed hand from Baiju, is that so?" He asked straightforwardly.

I said without hesitation: "Yes."

He asked: "Why?"

"I can't let that hand go, being used by people with ulterior motives, in places with ulterior motives." I came up with high-sounding reasons while examining my heart.Is it really just that?Although this reason really fits my heart, it is more appropriate to say that my real motivation is my strong love and desire for "it".So much so that I can't let go even if it's just a hand that can't move.

Lie Que stared at me with a knife-like gaze, and then talked about another matter, "I have read Qiao Gancao's younger brother's statement about the fog incident in Bairi Town. In that incident, you met the sword of Tianhe City. Tooth, intending to surrender his life to him, why?"

"To kill is to pay for life... That's what I thought at the time." I said.

"But you didn't take the initiative to find other victims to pay for their lives, did you? In other words, you don't want to die. It's nothing, I'm not condemning you, and you don't need to feel so much guilt. The sea monster is at fault, you Just a victim." He said, "But if you are brainwashed by it again and turn back into the old devil, then I will have to kill you with my own hands."

"You're talking like it's not dead and can do something about it," I said.

"No, the siren is dead, I'm absolutely sure of that. But who says dead wreckage doesn't have the ability to demagogue people? Now you are the proof." He said, "After it died, normally You will automatically dispel its charm on your brain within a few days, and recognize what a hideous evil it is. But now you are still obsessed with it. I originally suspected that this was just your acting skills after waking up. It's you trying to show people around you that you've never been brainwashed, like you once claimed. And you're still trying to chase the siren's hand, which can't be explained by mere acting. It can only explain its The charm still exists, and this charm may have been weakened by most of it because of its death, but there is still a part that even death cannot take away."

I took advantage of the opportunity to put forward a different view, "Since I have not been brainwashed, it is only natural that your expectations do not conform to reality."

"Even if you can find a logical way to explain your so-called love, it doesn't mean that it hasn't charmed you, it's just that her charm is entangled in your mind in a logical way." He said, "And once you let go When you come into contact with its hand, the residual charm may be further activated. In fact, the last time you saw that hand, your state became very strange, didn’t you?”

"That's just emotional," I said.

Seeing that he couldn't convince me, he sighed, "Originally, I didn't plan to talk too much about the sea monster with you, or rather, I hope you can gradually forget about it in the future, and the farther away from things related to it, the better. But Since you are so stubborn, let me tell you more about it."

Hearing this, I immediately had a strong feeling that I might come into contact with very important information in the future.

He glanced at the sky, seeming to be remembering, and then said surprisingly: "The first time I saw a siren, I remember it was in [-]."

One or four years... In other words, eight years ago?
I was stunned.

"Where did you see it?" I asked.

He uttered another very shocking piece of information, "Baiju's laboratory."

"Baiju...was it born in Baiju's laboratory? Eight years ago?" I asked.

"When and where the sea-monster was born, probably even Baiju doesn't know." He said, "The sea-monster at that time was completely different from the sea-monster in your memory. A monster with a huge body and an extremely terrifying appearance. However, when I saw it again by your side, I immediately recognized it, or perceived it. There is no doubt that it was the terrifying monster eight years ago, Even if it has changed beyond recognition, I will never identify mistakes."

"It" contains a female body with magical charm is a product of mimicry, and I have expected this level of things.What I really care about are other things, "Why is it in Baiju's lab? And...why are you there?"

"This has to start from a long time ago." He said, "I told you before that Baiju was a law enforcement warlock of the Security Bureau before he was called a dark scientist. I have worked with him before. .”

"You did." I nodded.

"In fact, Bai Ju and I have not only worked together, but to be more precise, I invited Bai Ju to the Security Bureau." He slowly narrated the story between himself and Bai Ju, "Back then... remember It was in [-], Bai Ju was just an ordinary person, he was accidentally involved in a secret incident, and I rescued him. That was the first time I met him."

That year, Lie Que was 43 years old and Bai Ju was 20 years old.
-
Lie Que and I sat down in a teahouse by the roadside, and he continued to narrate the past to me, while I gradually learned more about Baiju.

In fact, long before this, I had checked the detailed information of Bai Ju, a super criminal, in the archives of the Security Bureau, but compared with the information that Lie Que dictated, it still lacked a lot of vivid colors.

However, it is actually unfair for Lie Que to call Bai Ju an ordinary person.

Although Bai Ju was still at the age when he was supposed to be in college, he had already made a name for himself in the scientific community.If you go back and read the newspapers of that year, you should still be able to see reports related to him.In the report, he is a talented biological scientist with great future in our country. People place a lot of high hopes on him, and everyone believes that he can make great achievements in the scientific world.However, one day, he was involved in a dangerous secret incident, and his life was hanging by a thread.

At the critical moment, Lie Que appeared in front of him like a divine soldier descending from the sky, saving him from fire and water.

I have no way of knowing whether Lie Que regretted this incident today, and I can't tell from his expressionless face.He continued the narration - after he rescued the white horse, he soon discovered that the white horse had a talent for becoming a warlock.Not only is there, but it is extraordinary.

Even the description "extraordinary" pales in comparison.

Lie Que commented on Bai Ju's talent with his own vision and insight: Just like a blue bird, if Bai Ju received a warlock education from an early age, it would not be impossible for Bai Ju to become a main-level warlock even when he was still in elementary school.

It is a pity that Baiju's worldview as a person has long been formed.At the same time, he is quite stubborn, even when he is learning spells, he refuses to compromise on the way he perceives the world.

Even so, his level as a warlock is still improving by leaps and bounds.In less than ten years of hard work, he has become a master in the field of secret knowledge, even Lie Que is ashamed.And in terms of strength, he has reached the point where he can fight side by side with Lie Que.In less serious terms, his progress is as fast as a cheating device.

Moreover, even after becoming a warlock, he did not give up the path of a biological scientist.But it is a pity that because he gradually combined his learning with secret knowledge, he was eventually regarded as a heretical scientist by the normal academic circle, and his reputation plummeted.Not only that, even the young wife he married in those years, who was also a scientist, expressed strong puzzlement to him, and even chose to divorce him, and took his young daughter away.At that time, Bai Ju was only one step away from the "apparition" that all warlocks dreamed of, but his family fell apart.This incident seemed to have dealt him an extremely heavy blow.

He even temporarily put down all his research and practice, and wandered outside frustratedly.Afterwards, he told Lie Que that it was at this time that he encountered an "unspeakable thing".

At that time, he and Lie Que were working as law enforcement warlocks in Shangshen City, a big city near the ocean.On the black shore full of gravel, he walked slowly while watching the ebb and flow of the tide.As he walked, he suddenly noticed something quite huge in the distance.At first, he thought it was a stranded ship.After walking over to take a closer look, he discovered that the thing turned out to be a living thing.

It was a huge unknown creature with a body length of more than [-] meters, strange shape, and motionless.
