spooky invasion

Chapter 25 Parking Lot

It is Jiang Yue's top priority to find the year-eaters and complete the novice tasks arranged by Zhiling.

Of course, there is another important reason.

The trajectory of the Year Eater's activities seems to be getting closer and closer to Crescent Harbor.For the safety of his family, he must track down the Year Eater as soon as possible before the Year Eater enters the Crescent Harbor.

He didn't want to go home, his sister became an aunt, and his cousin became an uncle.

This kind of thing is creepy just thinking about it.

Officer Han was also quite embarrassed at the scene.He was very critical of them, and kept complaining that they were delayed and did not report the situation in time.Now everyone is passive.

Although there is some truth to the complaints of these departments, the blame should not have been taken by Officer Han.Whether to report or not to report, this is not determined by the location of the police officer Han.

"Xiaojiang, wait, I'll go with you."

"Have you brought the guy?"

"Don't worry." Officer Han patted his waist.

But he added: "If you can't move the guy, try not to move."

Jiang Yue nodded: "Let's act according to the opportunity. It is speculated from the scene that this evil spirit is still in a seedling state. Although it is evolving, it is far from a fully evolved body."

"How do you say?" Officer Han has only one word for Jiang Yue's attitude now, service.

He had already made up his mind and planned to follow Jiang Yue all the way to the dark.

"Look at the time he commits the crimes, it basically takes more than an hour. This shows that he needs time to digest the years of stealing."

This sentence is a bit out of line for Officer Han.

Seeing Officer Han's confused expression, Jiang Yue explained, "It's easy to understand if you think of it as a monster that can steal normal life expectancy."

Officer Han nodded thoughtfully, but didn't know if he really understood, but responded politely.

"In addition, every time it moves, it instinctively avoids crowded places. And it chooses to sneak. This shows that he is also afraid of humans. At least it is afraid of head-on conflict."

"Evil creatures are also afraid of humans? Aren't all the monsters in the movie all powerful?"

Jiang Yue smiled bitterly: "If that's the case, is there still a future for mankind? Does it still make sense if you don't handle this case?"

This question is very philosophical, and Officer Han was speechless for a moment.

"If it becomes a fully evolved body, it is hard to say how harmful it is. But at least now, it is still in an evolutionary state. It means we still have a chance."

The difficulty of this monster is that it cannot perform face recognition, and its whereabouts are strange, and it has an instinctive anti-investigation ability.

So to track it in real time, it's not technically easy to accomplish.

But Jiang Yue felt it at the scene just now, and was able to vaguely perceive the residual evil atmosphere on the scene.This gave him a lot of confidence in tracking the Year Eaters.

"Xiaojiang, every time it goes to a place, it will cause a certain amount of destructive power. Following this line of thinking, to lock him, as long as there are enough people, it should be feasible, right?"

"It's hard to say. According to the judgment, the places he walked did not seem to leave any traces. Only if he stayed for a long time, or at the crime scene, would he leave traces. For example, that taxi, such as that bench, For example, the fallen ash from the bean sprouts alley scene..."

"The most important thing is that I feel that it is getting better and better at covering it up. In the taxi, it left traces, even my cousin. Look at the bench and the ash on the Bean Sprout Lane, he The traces left on the scene are obviously getting more and more subtle."

This is evolution.

The speed of evolution of the Age Eaters is faster than expected.

Evolving not only ability, but also intelligence, and more evil instincts.

If there is no evil that does not invade the halo, Jiang Yue is really not sure if he wants Jiang Yuemao to follow him rashly and fight against this monster.

The dark night is the natural barrier of monsters and the best cover for evil spirits.

The two returned to the car, and Officer Han asked, "Where to go next?"

In fact, he also knows that if he always waits for bad things to happen, and then tries to track them, he will always be one step behind, and he will never be able to catch up with each other.

Don't ask to be one step faster than the other party, at least try to equalize.

One step behind, one step behind, in the end, you will only be led by the nose.If it is as Jiang Yue guessed, this is what the monster did, and the monster is still evolving.

How much the situation will deteriorate by then, Officer Han is a little afraid to imagine.

Jiang Yue didn't speak, he opened the map on his mobile phone and started to study it.

According to the previous calculation of the activity area between each victim, the distance between one victim and the next victim will not exceed 1.5 kilometers at most.

And the age eaters who haven't evolved completely obviously don't like to drill in lively places.

Starting from Bean Sprouts Lane, where will it go next?
Jiang Yue circled three places: "Officer Han, let's go around these three places."

Of course, choosing these three places will not be done on a whim.Jiang Yue has considered the choice of each location.

These three places have one thing in common, they are all relatively secluded, especially in the evening, when there is generally less crowd gathering.

According to the experiences of the previous victims, each victim acted alone.

what does this mean?
It means that the age eaters are not absolutely sure to deal with several adults at the same time.

Its means have always been sneak attacks, which shows that it is trying its best to avoid risks.

This vigilance is indeed scary.

Star City in spring is still a little cool.In a quiet place, there are already bugs who can't hold back their loneliness and begin to sing softly.

The two men used police flashlights and searched around.

Bridge holes, grass, trash cans, and green belts are the key areas for their search.

Police Officer Han has been in the industry for so many years, and he has hunted down many vicious criminals. This is the first time that he is under so much pressure that his back is even slightly sweating.

Even more ridiculous is that he actually acted with a teenager.

If this is passed back to the bureau, I don't know how many colleagues will make jokes behind their backs, or even face to face.

Of course, these Han police officers didn't care.

He is now not only handling the case, but also fighting for it.Only when this case is done can he get rid of the pot with confidence.

Look at the time, it's almost eleven o'clock.

More than an hour has passed since the last victim's incident.

The two felt a lot of pressure.

According to the activity law of this monster, its crime cycle is generally more than an hour apart.Maybe just as they were searching everywhere, in another place, it moved on to the next target.

For every hour or more of delay, there is one more victim.

Although this is not a murder case, when it comes to being weird and bizarre, and when it comes to causing social panic, it is probably better than two murder cases.

There is a parking lot in front of it, which is the third place Jiang Yue had delineated before.

If there is still no gain in this parking lot, Jiang Yue may have to think about how to adjust his thinking.

This is a social parking lot, with many more social vehicles parked during the day.At night, the vehicles of surrounding residents will also park here.

The parking lot is not small, there are two or three hundred parking spaces.There is an entrance guard on the opening and a security guard box on the side.

Jiang Yue and Officer Han exchanged flashlights and walked towards the parking lot.

Before approaching the opening, there was a person in front of him, holding a briefcase and talking on the phone, walking out of the parking lot.

Out of professional sensitivity, Officer Han shone the flashlight directly on the opponent's face.

The other party was on the phone, and was caught by such a photo.

Officer Han was not convincing in plainclothes, and the officer's certificate flashed: "Police! What are you hanging around here in the middle of the night?"

The man was about 40 years old, with a boss's hair and the style of a private entrepreneur. He was not afraid when he saw the police officer's card, and sneered: "What's wrong with the police? Do the police still care about people going home? The police still care about me giving my wife Are you calling?"

To change it to usual, with such an arrogant attitude, Officer Han may not be so polite.

I have an important task at hand today, so I don’t care about it.

"You just got out of the parking lot?"

"Yeah? What's the matter? Is it illegal to park a car? Is it illegal to go home?" The man seemed to have a natural resistance to the police, as if he had taken gunpowder.

"Is there anything unusual about the parking lot?"

"What's abnormal? Is it abnormal for the security guard to doze off at work?" The man scolded and walked away.

Jiang Yue and Officer Han looked at each other silently. The relationship between the police and the people seems to be less tense these days.

"Let's go and have a look."

　We have collected overdue recommendation votes. If you don’t vote for this point, it’s really overdue. If you don’t vote for nothing, you can still earn points if you vote, right?
