Chapter 22 Tracking the Devil
"Can't the plot predicted by the world game be changed?"

Turning on the 'weak sense of presence', Zhou Ze huddled in the corner of the living room, trying not to look at the chilling corpse, but the faint smell of blood coming from his nostrils couldn't cover it, making him more angry.

Was all his efforts all night in vain?

Zhou Ze fell into self-doubt.

ten minutes later.

The sound of sirens from far to near came from downstairs, and several criminal policemen arrived as scheduled to block the scene.

"Face cutting, dismemberment...it's that perverted murderer again!"

"Notify the 'Extraordinary Countermeasures Team' to take over..."

"This is the third serial murder case in our jurisdiction..."

"Oh, there are some things you still don't understand..."

Listening to the familiar dialogue between the old detective and the young detective, he noticed a key word that he hadn't thought about carefully before.

This is the third serial killing case in their jurisdiction.

"The third case? Could it be that the murder on Fenghua Road was also done by a thousand-faced demon?"

Zhou Ze remembered that when he first started playing the game "Devil with Thousand Faces", that is, two mornings ago, the takeaway boy who brought him a bucket of fried chicken mentioned a particularly frightening murder case on Fenghua Road.

That should be the second murder.

The scene in front of him is the third...

Maybe he couldn't save the poor girl in front of him, but he could prevent other victims from appearing in the future.

"I have a new weapon in my hand, maybe I can try to kill the devil by surprise while it is still in disguise..."

Zhou Ze glanced at the criminal policemen who were still checking for clues in the living room, and quickly dismissed the idea.

"No, you can't do anything here. Once you commit violent murders, you will be regarded as an enemy by the police. Even if you have the absolute intuition experience card, my body may not be able to dodge bullets in such a narrow environment, let alone more than one gun. .”

The criminal police at the scene were both help and hindrance.

He has already experienced this in the game.

If he yells to turn the detectives into friendly units, the demons will sense it and run away early; but if he attacks the demons directly without saying a word, the detectives will attack him without hesitation... Two options, one There are gains and losses.

After thinking about it, rather than trying to figure out the probability of killing him on the spot, it would be safer to follow the instructions in the game.

It would be too bad if he was accidentally shot on the spot.

Not long after the crew-cut man appeared on the stage, Zhou Ze huddled in the corner and remained motionless, secretly replacing the 'inquiry' skill of the portable system with 'tracking'.

He only has two skill slots now, and he must equip the 'Liver Explosive Power' to save his life. The two skills brought by the title of detective can only be used alternately.

Three minutes later, the quarrel between the crew-cut man and the 'short man' came to my ears.

Zhou Ze quietly followed the wall and moved closer to the short man. He was covered with a faint black mist of "weak presence". Even in a brightly lit room, ordinary people would subconsciously ignore his existence. .

Quiet as a virgin and as moving as a rabbit!

When the distance between the two was less than three meters, he pounced on the 'short man', grabbed its right arm and twisted it, and locked its throat with his left elbow...

This is the grappling technique that he took the time to learn on the Internet in the past few days. It is still very unfamiliar, but it is enough to surprise him.

The moment he touched the target, he activated the 'tracking' skill.

[Spirit Mark Successful]

"This guy is a murderer!"

Seeing the criminal police at the scene quickly draw their guns, Zhou Ze yelled at them: "He has a small hole in the back of his head! It is exactly the same as the deadly wound on the back of the deceased's head. You can come and touch it for verification! Don't let him escape..."

The following is exactly the same as the plot development in the game.

The thousand-faced demon that was restrained by him took on the form of an ugly monster, broke free from its restraints, and ran away. Although the detectives shot immediately, they still failed to prevent the demon from escaping from sight.

While the detectives were only focused on chasing the devil with thousands of faces.

Zhou Ze used 'Weak Presence' again, silently retracted into the dark corner of the stairway, and quickly avoided the crowd and left the building.

"The game is divided into two chapters. There is a gap between the investigation chapter and the battle chapter. It seems that the part of finding the thousand-faced devil is up to me to play freely."

Slipping into the utility room of the community to hide, Zhou Ze used 'tracking' to identify the location of the spirit mark.

The tracking effect is very unique, as long as you close your eyes, you can roughly perceive the distance between the marked target and yourself.

"He's still hiding in the residential building, he's moving downstairs, he stopped...he's waiting...is he waiting for the criminal police to search other places?"

Zhou Ze was watching, and he was also waiting.

It will die when it escapes from the residential building!
While waiting, Zhou Ze took out the spirit stone from the storage bar to replenish the consumption caused by the long-term camouflage of the Unreal Mask.

The spiritual power cyclone in his dantian is still very weak, and the "weak presence" will be exhausted in less than an hour at most. In order to ensure that he can fight in the best state later, he must replenish some spiritual power in advance.

Waiting in the utility room is close to half an hour.

The Thousand Faced Demon didn't know what to do in the building, and it took him so long to come out.

Zhou Ze quietly followed the thousand-faced demon who escaped from the building, and found that it was disguised as a criminal policeman. He didn't know whether the original criminal policeman was killed or something...

He didn't understand the condition needed for the Demon with Thousand Faces to become someone else, is to eat the other party?Or peel off the other person's face?

Follow closely behind and try not to let this guy leave your field of vision.

The thousand-faced demon doesn't seem to be in a good condition. The detective it disguised as a policeman has been keeping a straight face, looking like he is holding back something, and his walking pace is also very hasty. From time to time, he looks at the buildings on both sides of the street, as if what to look for.

"Looking for a hiding place? Hmph."

According to the game scene, it is not difficult to speculate that this guy will finally choose a construction site as a temporary hiding place.And there, it is destined to become the burial place to end its sinful life.

Within 10 minutes, the demon couldn't wait to climb over the wall and sneak into an unfinished building.

Zhou Ze's residential area is located in the southern suburbs of the city. There are a lot of unfinished buildings nearby where half of the construction funds have been broken. It is said that the developer has already taken his sister-in-law to run away, leaving only these half-built hot potatoes erected in the original Let the wind and rain blow.

He followed the thousand-faced devil into the deserted construction site.

Drilling into the dark corridor, the thousand-faced demon stopped.

Without any warning, this guy suddenly swelled into a blood-colored muscle monster more than two meters tall. His clothes were torn into pieces and scattered on the ground, just like the scene in the movie where the Hulk transformed...

The only difference is that it doesn't have the magic underpants that will last no matter what.
