Did the worm king lose his horse today [Interstellar]

Gu Yue put his arms around Gu Jiurong, and led him into the house with a little force, without saying a word.

With such an attitude, the police outside lowered their guns.

Gu Jiurong was still in a trance, the heat all over his body subsided a lot after seeing Gu Yue, and reason regained the upper hand.

He was very sure that it wasn't because of seeing an acquaintance, but an instinct of the body to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, a temporary avoidance when encountering a strong enemy.

After all, he had a great chance of winning against those policemen, but it was completely different when facing Gu Yue.

Gu Yue felt his excessive body temperature and whispered, "Are you sick?"

"...Probably." Gu Jiurong was vague.He didn't know what happened either.

"In the future, if you get sick, go directly to Lao Li." Gu Yue said, "But you should not be so honest. This time, you simply know that you are sick, so come out and find me obediently?"

"It just happened to be here."

Gu Yue hummed, noncommittal: "We'll talk about this topic later."

Gu Jiurong knew that he must be angry, but when there are outsiders, that kind of bad anger is relatively restrained.

As soon as I entered the house, I was greeted by a foul smell.

Gu Jiurong had already smelled it outside, but it was suddenly so strong that he couldn't bear it.

He turned his face away, and it took him a while to recover.

To his surprise, there was a half-decomposed corpse in the house.

Recently, the news has been reporting serial murders, reminding the residents to pay attention to safety, but the murderer has not been found for a long time, and everyone is complaining.

Gu Jiurong knew that the ruler must have sent powerful people to investigate this case, but he didn't expect it to be Gu Yue.

"Stay obediently, don't move anything." Gu Yue said, squatting back in front of the corpse in a blink of an eye, studying it carefully.

Gu Jiurong didn't want to be nosy at first, but when he saw the wound on the corpse, he hesitated for a moment and said, "...Is this what the mantis did?"

Gu Yue glanced at him: "Yes."

So Gu Jiurong knew why, the case could not be solved for a long time.

Every planet is equipped with a consciousness blocker, which is designed to block the thinking of the Zerg King. As long as the blocker is not destroyed, the Zerg that enters the range of the planet will be a mass of loose sand.

A broken shield would have caused a global warning, which apparently they hadn't received.

Is there anyone else who can control the Zerg besides him?

Gu Jiurong subconsciously touched the ring again.If there is, most likely that person is also from "Blue Sky".

The one who modified his ring was a scientist in the "blue sky" at that time.The scientist was considered a lunatic, and even the other "blue sky" people laughed at him.

He has been studying the Zerg almost all his life, trying to find a way for humans to control the Zerg.

At that time, Gu Jiurong offended a strong enemy and was forced to fight in a few days, so he had no choice but to trust him, but he did not expect that after the ring came out, he could really command the mantis.

It's a pity that the old scientist was crazy and died soon after, without even knowing the news of his success.

Gu Jiurong is grateful to him, without the mantis, he would not be alive today.

Now another possibility lay before him: Maybe the old scientist had another product, and he wasn't the only lucky one.

He didn't tell Gu Yue these words, because he didn't want to arouse plain suspicion for himself.

Being idle and bored in the house, he took a closer look at the wound on the deceased.The doctor in charge of the scan next to him glanced at him and didn't stop him.

The wound looked strange, not the mark that a normal praying mantis would slash.Gu Jiurong observed the surrounding environment and judged from the crack in the roof that the mantis got in from a broken crack.

Curled up, it is not easy for the mantis to exert force, and it is normal if the blow is not fatal.

But this can't explain why there are so many wounds on the back of the deceased, and the priority targets of the praying mantis are always the eyes and throat.

Gu Jiurong lay on the ground, looking at the dust on the ground.

The air here is not good, and the dust is still floating up and down, and finally accumulates on the ground to form a thin layer.It's been a while since the murder, but fortunately, it hasn't been so long that no traces can be seen at all.

Footprints of different depths were clearly captured by his eyes.

The dead man had his back to the crack, so Mantis jumped on his shoulder, and his claws made three or four deep bloody holes.

Praying mantises are neither light nor heavy enough to throw an adult off balance briefly.

It can be seen from the footprints that he turned half a circle from the initial position in embarrassment before maintaining his balance, and then waved his hands indiscriminately to shake off the praying mantis on his shoulders, and perhaps tried to smash something. Cut wounds, and broken vases and photo frames next to the body.

For some reason, just looking at the rigid traces, Gu Jiurong felt that he could infer the whole process, and could see the angle at which the vase was smashed, and how the photo frame was picked up and thrown out...

The victim was wearing leather shoes. In the imagined picture, Gu Jiurong seemed to be able to hear the sound of the heels colliding with the wooden floor as he struggled, his screams mixed with the hiss of praying mantises.

Perhaps there was no "inference" at all, all the intricate information came together effortlessly, and he just knew it.

Blood dripped all over the floor.

By the time the victim went to the kitchen to get the knife, the wound was already very serious, and there were large patches of blood on the way he walked.In the process, he was pierced through the back by the mantis' sharp blade.

Gu Jiurong watched the whole scene again.

In the farthest range that the dead man can reach, including the objects he can throw, none of them can effectively stop the praying mantis, they are all too fragile.

In other words, there is nothing covering his chest to his head.

This doesn't explain why the mantis didn't directly pierce his throat, especially since it is still in such an advantageous position behind it.

Despite all the time, the mantis didn't enjoy its prey, and there wasn't a single bit of superfluous bite marks on the carcass.

Gu Yue on the other end had almost finished his investigation for the night, and came over to Gu Jiurong and said, "Let's go."

They came out of the rancid hut.

Gu Yue didn't say a word, as if he was still immersed in the case.

They passed through the scattered residential areas, Gu Jiurong endured and endured, and finally couldn't bear the curiosity, and asked, "What did he use to block the mantis?"

"...block the praying mantis?"

"That's right," Gu Jiurong couldn't believe that they didn't even find out about this, "it was during the fight, what did he use to block his neck?"

Gu Yue was silent for a while: "How do you know this?"

Gu Jiurong said: "Didn't I lie on the ground for a while just now? It's so gray there, and I can barely see footprints." He began to doubt Gu Yue's real level. Find the murderer.

Gu Yue said: "Ordinary people can't see it."

"Can't see anything?"

"Dust," Gu Yue took a deep look at him, "this is what we analyzed through instruments. To deduce your step, you have to combine the habits of the mantis and the complicated on-site restoration, you can't tell it just by looking at it." .”

"I... have learned to read minds."

Gu Yue: "..."

"..." Gu Jiurong realized something was wrong, and immediately changed his words, "I just found out after peeking at a person's investigation report."

Gu Yue took out a stack of papers from his handbag: "I only have the complete report here, how did you steal it from under my nose?"

Gu Jiurong: "..."

"And I remember, I didn't give you any books on the habits of Zerg." Gu Yue half-closed his eyes, "How do you know so much?"

This question made Gu Jiurong stunned for a moment.

Yeah, how did he know that?Just because it can summon a few praying mantises?

But perfunctory Gu Yue is still necessary.He said: "When I was in 'Blue Sky', I heard other people say it."

Gu Yue nodded, agreeing with this statement.Then he put his arms around Gu Jiurong: "Come out with me in the future."

"What are you doing?" Of course Gu Jiurong was not happy, and wanted to break away from Gu Yue's hand, "You treat me as a free laborer, the kind that you can still fight when you are not happy with the investigation?"

"Who sneaked out today?" Gu Yue squeezed his shoulder hard to prevent him from breaking free, it hurt a little, "And you were outside just now, you wanted to do something, right?"

"No." Gu Jiurong refused to admit it.

Do you want to do something about having a fever?

"Don't take me for a fool," Gu Yue sneered, "Did you have fun going out with Gu Ming today?"

"What do you want to do here?" Gu Jiurong was upset, "Others are much easier to talk to than you."

Gu Yue pressed his collarbone with his backhand, and pushed him hard against the wall—and even put his hand on the back of his head thoughtfully.But the force was so strong that Gu Jiurong's shoulders hurt and he knocked off a large piece of wall dust.

"Why are you so fucking crazy!" He gritted his teeth and scolded, subconsciously grabbing Gu Yue's hand and struggling, but it was of no avail.

"Did you see that?" Under the dark night sky, only a gleam of light from a street lamp fell into Gu Yue's dark eyes.This place is too remote and defeated, only the two of them are in this alley, accompanied by Gu Jiurong's slightly rapid and fiery breathing.He wanted to break free, but it was more like being held down by another powerful beast.

Gu Yue said softly: "If you attack the police, the consequences will be countless times worse than this. I usually don't want to control you, but I am your watcher, and I will be responsible for all your actions. Don't force me If you really attack you, you have no chance of winning."

"Gu Jiurong, I am the one who is really easy to talk to."

The two stalemate for several seconds.

In the end, it was Gu Yue who softened his tone first: "You just came out of that kind of organization, I can understand, but the principle is still the principle. Tell me where you want to go in the future, and I will try my best to take you there."

He touched Gu Jiurong's forehead: "It's still hot, hurry back."
