Chapter 23 The Whereabouts of the Age Eaters

"The first question, now, is it my current one who has the final say, or your predecessor who has the final say?"

"You! You have the final say."

"If you're interested, tell me, what's going on with this Zhiling? What's going on with the novice task? Is there any shortcut?"

The cat-shaped relief is a little embarrassed: "I really can't answer what a wise spirit is. Its normal form is a piece of paper, and when it enters your body, it looks like a creature with autonomous consciousness. And most of the time, it He's also mean, picky, fussy, narrow-minded, and sometimes very careful..."

Any shortcomings that can be arranged, he arranged for Zhiling.

It's normal for your ex to not say good things.

"As for the novice advice, I can only say that you have to do your best to complete it, or you will be really unlucky."

"Of course, after completing the novice task, the novice gift package is generally relatively rich. Although this thing has many shortcomings, at least it is generous."

"You said I was No.80. Then the first [-] predecessors all have novice tasks? How did you complete them in the first place?"

"How we complete it has nothing to do with your novice task."

"This Zhiling is a wonderful thing. Every time it restarts, the settings are completely different. Therefore, everything that Zhiling arranges for you is brand new, and it depends on the times. You can't refer to the experience of the previous eighty. "

"To put it bluntly, there is actually no difference between the first term and the first term. For Zhiling, it is just a random choice."

This Zhiling does not seem to be an ordinary pit. Every time it is started, the settings are completely new.

Can this still work?
It seems that everything is up to you.

"By the way, what is your novice task?" The cat-shaped relief asked curiously.

Jiang Yue didn't hide it, he told the truth.

"The novice task requires you to farm monsters. It's not very difficult. Although I don't know what this year-eater is, just looking at the name, it's not good."

"By the way, according to Zhiling's consistent urine, it mentions every name, every place, every number, you have to think carefully."

"From my past experience, these things often have multiple meanings. There are hints hidden. Like this one you said, 24 hours, there are definitely clues here."

"When I first received the paper charm, it also prompted the details of 24 hours."

"That's a reminder that you have to be at Villa 24 within 9 hours."

"What if I don't come in time?"

"Hey, then you're out. The shortest-lived predecessor was born."

"So pitiful?" Jiang Yue suddenly wanted to break the contract.

"It's more than this pit, so let's take it slow."

"However, with Zhiling's usual routine, the repeated mention of 24 hours must be revealing something. I guess it has something to do with your novice task."

"Of course, what is the specific situation, I will not be blind."

"This is your first interaction with Zhiling. I can't interfere with your thinking. Otherwise, it will be messed up in the end, and both of us will be unlucky."

Jiang Yue understood that these words of the other party were probably the truth.

I thought that this paper talisman summoned him to Villa 9, and there must be a big surprise waiting for him.At worst, you have to give a golden finger, and from then on, take off and go to the peak of life.

Who knows, the golden finger has fallen, and there is an inexplicable novice task.

The fish didn't eat it secretly, and it made him feel ashamed.

It’s just a matter of multiple tasks, and if you don’t complete it, it is said that the end will be miserable.This is simply unbearable.

Jiang Yue's mentality collapsed.

But this is the end, no matter how it collapses, it has to be reorganized, accept the reality, and accept the task!

Age eaters?
What the hell is it?

So far, Jiang Yue has no idea what it is, how to track it?

Even if you want to track it, there must be a clue, right?
Jiang Yue was at a loss.

While thinking about it, the phone in his pocket rang.

"Xiao Jiang?" On the other end of the phone, Officer Han's voice was hurried, sounding very anxious to get angry.

"Officer Han, have you found a clue?"

"It's a big trouble. Xiaojiang, I need your help. Where are you, I'll pick you up."

Police officer Han is vigorous and resolute, in line with his professional identity.

Jiang Yue hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm at the Yushu Street Night Market."

Daozixiang villa area, in the big business district of Yushu Street, is not far from the night market, and it takes only ten minutes to walk there.

"Okay, I'll pick you up at the night market entrance. I'll be there in half an hour."

After Officer Han finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

Jiang Yue put away his mobile phone and pondered the ins and outs of this case.Suddenly, an inspiration seemed to pop out of the chaotic thoughts.

Age eaters?
eat, eat.

Years, years, time.

"That's the case!" Jiang Yue slapped his thigh, this is really nowhere to go after breaking through the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it.

The nurse of the Second Hospital of Star City, the neighbor Sister He, the taxi driver...

And Sangou's weird pants...

All the details have a remarkable common feature. Years and time seem to be stolen in an instant.

It is highly consistent with the three words of age eaters, and even seamless.

In this way, was the ICU patient Ke Yunshan swallowed the lost 20 years of those three people?
What a terrible ability this is?

Is it a monster of the Great Demon King level when it comes out?
That is to say, Jiang Yue had a psychological presupposition for the world's mutation, and coupled with his family background, his acceptance of these things was far better than ordinary people.

Otherwise, he would also have to be counseled when he suddenly told him that such a terrible thing was happening.

As the first successor of No.80, there are still benefits after all.

For example, Villa No. 9 was left by the previous predecessor. According to the principle that the successor takes over all assets, Villa No. 9 naturally became Jiang Yue's asset.

Of course, Jiang Yue has no time to be happy now.

The 24-hour task period is like a spell.

Jiang Yue has no slack in the capital. Although he has a question he wants to inquire about, he still hurries out.

Completely integrated with Zhiling, the gate of the villa is now naturally easy to enter and exit.

When the front foot just reached the opening of Elm Street, Officer Han drove over with the back foot.

"Officer Han, look for me next time, don't drive the unit's car dealership. It seems that I have done something, people say it is terrible." Jiang Yue made a joke.

He also saw that Officer Han was very nervous now and needed to adjust the atmosphere.

"Xiao Jiang, I have a headache. We have received four more calls to the police one after another. That is to say, so far, there have been seven victims."

"This matter has begun to cause local panic in society."

The speed of information dissemination is too fast.Even if there are various technical means to block, delete posts, and ban accounts, small-scale dissemination is inevitable.

"Officer Han, let's make a long story short. The police roughly guess where it is now?"

Now that the streets are full of surveillance, as long as the initial clues are not lost, the general activity area can still be locked.

Although the shape of the other party in the surveillance is rather peculiar, it is impossible to completely lock the appearance and face recognition.

However, the patient information will definitely be provided by the Second Hospital of Star City, and there are many ways for the police to find it.

Officer Han handed over a folder.

It's only been a few hours since Officer Han took Sangou's pants and left in the afternoon.Four more victims were added.

The police have collected all the victim's information and made a record.

The efficiency of this work made Jiang Yue awe-inspiring.

If this is an ordinary case, it should be solved with such efficiency.What Naihe faced this time was not a murderous criminal at all, but an unknown evil that ordinary people could never imagine.

The contents of the folder are very detailed.

The first page of the document is a video surveillance screenshot.

At 11:44, the taxi with ICU patient Ke Yunshan stopped at Bailu Park.

Ke Yunshan got off the car, of course, whether it was Ke Yunshan or not, that has to be said separately.

The second page is a screenshot of Jiang Yue and the others boarding the taxi after driving for six or seven minutes on the road.

On the third page, the screenshot of Ke Yunshan's back entering Bailu Park is as strange as ever. In the video, Ke Yunshan is always blurred.

There are six pages of screenshots on the back, between 12:19 and [-]:[-]. In different time periods, Ke Yunshan appeared in different areas of the screenshots that were monitored.

At the back are document files, each of which records the transcripts of the four new victims, as well as an analysis of their areas of activity.

What's worse is that these victims are completely confused, and they don't know what to do, and where exactly this evil thing happened.

According to the victim's statement, their range of activities throughout the day was the same as usual, and they did not feel any strangeness, and they did not encounter any strange people at all.

For everything that happened, their state can be described in two words, circle!

After reading all the documents, Jiang Yue was in no hurry to express his position and sorted it out in his mind.

The rough activity area slowly formed a preliminary concept in his mind.

Jiang Yue is actually very familiar with these areas.

The area from the No. 10 Hospital of Xingcheng to Bailu Park is not far from Jiang Yue's house, within [-] minutes by car, and this includes factors such as waiting for traffic lights.

It takes only three or four 10 minutes to walk.

Seeing Jiang Yue's silence, Officer Han couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Jiang, what are your thoughts?"
