Bulwark of Light

Chapter 69 The Black Hibiscus and the Metropolis

A few more photos were handed over, all from the scene of the crime.

Gu Shen only glanced at it and hurriedly put it away... The scene was really shocking, enough to cause physical discomfort.

The scars of every victim are exactly the same, clean and deep, and their necks seem to have been sliced ​​by a big knife, but they have left some strength and have not been cut off. There is still a thin layer of blood connecting the head and chest cavity. Skin.

The method of the out-of-control person can be described as extremely cruel.

"This guy's acting style is very cruel... and he is extremely cautious, elusive, and the deep sea has not captured the image until three days ago." Hu Danian whispered: "I don't know why, but he came to the most crowded place on the river beach." place, but the whole body is tightly wrapped, and we only captured a blurred image."

last photo.

It’s a screenshot of a bar surveillance. In the photo, there is a crowd of people. A marker pen circles the outline of a man passing by in a hurry. It is indeed tightly packed. He has a black hat and a black mask. You can’t see his face, but he is tall and thin, and he is still a hunchback. It looked sickly.

If you observe carefully, you can indeed feel that there is something hidden in his arms.

"Is this the out-of-control man carrying the Sumu stone sculpture?" Gu Shen narrowed his eyes, "It's here...he came into contact with Jiang Wan."

"That's right... After that, he disappeared again. Using the deep sea authority, he can accurately find the victims affected by the Sumu stone carving, so as to determine the trajectory of his actions. He has been moving around Lipu Street and Jiangtan. But unfortunately What’s worse is that this method is always one step slower.” Hu Danian said in a deep voice, “That’s all the information I’ve found so far, but there’s one thing worth mentioning... I think the logic of this guy’s behavior is very weird. Since the lucky ones are randomly selected Why don't you wantonly unleash the power of Sumu Stone Carving?"

Gu Shen fell into deep thought.

Hu Danian said that so far, only 24 people have been affected by Sumu Stone Carving... This number is a bit low.

For several days in a row, if one wants to deliberately create turmoil, the stone carving can affect hundreds or thousands of people in one day.

"It's not his intention to capture the dreams of ordinary people..." Gu Shen murmured, "These people are not his target...he is looking for prey."

Hu Danian's eyes lit up.

"This man has not left at the Lipu River Beach, which means that his prey is in this area." Gu Shen said in a low voice, "Maybe he didn't pick randomly, but hunted in a targeted manner. Regarding the characteristics of [Sumu Stone Carving], I'd like to know more about it." I have a doubt... You said that as long as there is physical contact, the characteristics of the sealed item will be triggered, so what about the bearer himself?"

"This used to be a sealed item that was kept in a deep cabinet, because even if you wear gloves and have no skin contact... the Sumu Stone Sculpture will still trigger its characteristics." Hu Danian frowned and said slowly: "The trigger condition of the Sumu Stone Sculpture is not so much Personal contact, it is better to say that it satisfies a 'certain distance'..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly realized, and understood the intention of Gu Shen's question.

"Are you trying to say... that the carrier, his own dreams... have also been taken?"

"That's right." Gu Shen said solemnly: "Look at this photo... Does he look weak? I guess he has been wandering around the river beach with the stone sculpture of Su Mu with him for so long, and his own sleep should be affected by it." It's almost time to plunder."

Hu Danian murmured: "It makes sense..."

"However," he was startled, "so what if you know this?"

"You don't have to worry about these."

"You said before... the deep sea can find those sleepless people infected by the Sumu stone carving... right?" Gu Shen said softly: "Send those who are still insomnia and need treatment to No. 18 Lipu Street. I'm here to help them."

Hu Danian was startled.

His task was just to connect and pass on information. He only looked at the photo of the person who connected, and didn't understand any other information. According to his own habits, after explaining the details... there was nothing to say, and the job of connecting was completed.

But this time, for the first time, he looked at the boy beside him seriously.

I have carried out tasks by myself for about ten years, and I have met all kinds of people.

Old friends from the past, old acquaintances, after awakening to the extraordinary, more or less changed their appearance... Maybe it was because they were used to seeing life and death, or maybe they saw the fragility of life before the extraordinary power. Gradually, gradually, in the task , saving the lives of ordinary people is no longer the first priority by default.

Save if you can.

If you can't save it, you can't save it.

The boy's pupils were as clear and clean as a lake.

"Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't believe you..."

Gu Shen said calmly: "I just think...with your behavior style, the priority of these victims will be very low, and there may be accidental victims. Of course, I am aware of my abilities, and I don't regard myself as a savior. If it's just to remove the spiritual infection of the Sumu stone carving... I can handle it, and I'm happy to take over."

Putting this aside...he has another consideration.

The last time I cured Jiang Wan, my blaze increased.

Although there is only one strand, it can be ignored... But it is a fact that it has been strengthened!

Gu Shen guessed that the increase in his blaze was related to the eradication of nightmares, and there was a ray of extraordinary essence hidden in the spiritual brand given to ordinary people by [Sumu Stone Sculpture].

No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are also meat.

At this stage, Gu Shen doesn't want to give up any chance to enhance his strength.

"Okay." Hu Danian said lightly: "I will pass on your wishes to Mr. Cui, and you are willing to take over, which will save us a lot of trouble."

Gu Shen smiled.

The conversation on the case ended here, and he was still somewhat interested in the identity of the man in the hoodie.

"May I ask, we mean..." Gu Shen rolled up his sleeves, pointed to the position of his forearm, and said, "A certain gang?"

Hu Danian frowned. Instead of covering it up, he slowly rolled up his sleeves so that Gu Shen could see it more clearly... It really is a dazzling tattoo, with black patterns entangled and entwined, embracing a broken heart .

This is a dazzling and enchanting flower that blooms in the heart.

"Haven't you seen this tattoo?"

Hu Danian looked at Gu Shen's bewildered expression, and suddenly laughed, he patted the latter's shoulder vigorously, pulled the distance closer and said in a low voice: "You boy, you really just arrived in Dadu, I can tell by the look in your eyes , cleanly like a sheep entering the wolf's pen for the first time. But haven't you even heard of "Sincerity Meeting"?"

Gu Shen shook his head.

The black hibiscus flower...sacred and enchanting.

"In the future, stay away, this organization is not something you can offend." Hu Danian took a goblet from the bar, and said leisurely: "Here, your wine has arrived... Let's taste the taste of the metropolis. "

Gu Shen took a sip.

He frowned.

"How about this wine?" Hu Danian spread his hands and sat in the corner of the bar, watching the neon lights rippling on the dance floor.

Gu Shen put down the goblet and replied honestly.

"It's sweet...and strong."
