Urban Night Returner

Time passed by every minute and every second.Zhong Lecen was buried in the pile of drawings, writing, calculating, drawing and thinking.Shen Gu sat on the side and wiped the knife silently.When leaving the army, of course the gun cannot be taken away, but he quietly took away his military stab and double-edged dagger.Of course, this is also against the regulations, but the person in charge of the warehouse turned his eyes and closed his eyes. Anyway, this thing can actually be bought on the market.

The soft velvet slipped over the alloy steel blade, making a slight sound, followed by the light sound of the magazine being removed.Zhong Lecen rubbed his sore eyes and felt that his neck seemed to be too stiff to move.Shen Gu lowered his head and removed the gun, and said flatly: "Don't worry, there is still time."

Zhong Lecen covered his eyes with his hands wearily: "I still haven't been able to figure it out. This is not just a four-spirit array, it seems to be a yin nourishing array. But the yin energy is not completely gathered in the array, where did it go?"

Shen Gu put down his gun and stood behind him, gently massaged his tense shoulders: "You think too much."

Zhong Lecen looked up at him blankly: "What do you mean?"

"What is the most important thing for us now?"

"Suppress Yazi, destroy the Four Spirit Formation."

"Then do you have a way to break the Four Spirit Formation?"

Zhong Lecen frowned and thought for a while: "This formation has two purposes, but if it's just to break the Four Spirit Formation, it's not difficult."

"That's it. Do you know the principle of our mission? If you can't complete all the missions, try to complete the most important part. The most important thing for us now is to break the Four Spirit Formation and prevent Yazi from rushing out of the building to hurt people at will. Shen Gu pressed hard on the back of Zhong Lecen's neck with his fingers, "Relax. As long as we can get rid of Yazi, we have completed the task."

Zhong Lecen cried out in pain, but immediately felt the back of his neck loosen a lot: "But, I'm afraid that if something happens if you don't think carefully, you—"

"Worried about me? Even if you are [-]% sure, you will never guess what will happen during the execution of the mission. We just need to be prepared and adapt to the situation."

Zhong Lecen thought about his words for a while, then sighed lightly.Shen Gu felt that the body under his hands gradually relaxed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Sleep for a while?"

Zhong Lecen gradually relaxed under his massage, his eyelids were indeed a little heavy, just as he was about to nod, Shen Gu's cell phone rang.Zhou Wen said anxiously on the phone: "It seems that someone has entered the building!"

Not far from the back door of Jinyu Building, a sewer manhole cover was overturned, and there was a pool of blood beside it, which had dried up.The security guard who discovered the situation explained nervously: "Because the manhole cover is behind the flower bed, we didn't pay attention. We only discovered it when we walked over and saw the blood."

Shen Gu turned his head and asked Zhong Lecen: "Could it be Yazi?"

Zhong Lecen shook his head: "No. Lawyer Zhou should take some blood samples for testing. But it is true that something or someone has entered and exited the Jinyu Building from here. We have to go in and take a look. If Yazi escapes again, it will be true. Oops. Is everything I need ready?"

Zhou Wen nodded quickly: "Ready. I bought ten boxes of candles, and five catties of cinnabar and black dog's blood. Is it enough?"

Although Zhong Lecen was full of worries, he couldn't help but smile: "That's enough."

It was dark.Candlelight began to flicker around the Jinyu Building, emitting complex patterns.Next to each candle, draw a circle with cinnabar mixed with black dog's blood.Because it is close to the sea, the wind is still very strong.But when the candle is inserted in the circle, the candle flame is steady, and it doesn't even shake.Zhong Lecen warned solemnly: "If a candle is going to burn to the end, it must be replaced with a new one, and a candle must never be extinguished."

Zhou Wen nodded repeatedly.The surrounding security guards were all specially instructed by him and given a sum of money, so they all cheered up and promised that there would be no problem.Zhong Lecen looked back at Shen Gu——Shen Gu stood casually behind him, but it made people feel so stable and reliable, as if he could hold on even if the sky fell.Zhong Lecen clenched his fists: "Let's go in!"

The automatic door opens and closes again, keeping the sea breeze and night noise out of the door.The lights were still on in the building, but it was dead silent.Zhong Lecen held a bag of candles in his hand, placed a circle in the middle of the hall, and then painted in the middle of the circle with black dog blood mixed with cinnabar.Finally, he took out a small piece of paper cut into the shape of a swallow and placed it in the center of the spell.The white piece of paper was gradually dyed reddish, and a smell similar to barbecue wafted from the center of the circle.

Shen Gu holds the gun in his right hand, presses the military thorn stuck in his leg with his left hand, and looks around vigilantly.But until Zhong Lecen finished drawing the talisman, there was no movement in the elevator.

"what happened?"

Zhong Lecen also frowned, and re-examined the spell in the circle: "It's not wrong. Dragons are addicted to burning swallows. Although Yazi is not a dragon, he is a dragon's son. If he smells this smell, he will definitely come out."

Shen Gu listened quietly again: "There is really no movement."

Zhong Lecen bit his lip and thought for a while, then said decisively: "Go to the elevator shaft, if it doesn't come out, we'll dig out its body jade first!"

Not daring to take the elevator, Shen Gu and Zhong Lecen took the stairs to No. 1 elevator shaft.But after only one glance, both of them were stunned.The concrete floor at the bottom of the elevator shaft was cut, and several cement slabs were turned over, and the exposed soil was obviously excavated.Shen Gu pulled out his military thorn and shook his head a few times, "Nothing."

Zhong Lecen glanced around, and suddenly took out a talisman and lit it, which smoked the walls around the elevator shaft.A little bit of golden light appeared on the iron-gray wall, but as soon as the talisman paper was extinguished, the golden light disappeared.

"The Dapeng King's Curse."

"Dapeng what?"

"Golden King Ming. Also known as Garuda, it feeds on dragons. It is said that it can eat [-] dragons in a day. Yazi is the son of a dragon, and Garuda has to run away from the wind. Someone cast the Great Peng Mingwang curse in the elevator shaft. Jai Zi was arrested, and the body jade was also dug away."

Shen Gu suddenly thought of the strange bird that blinded the security guard's eyes: "Is it the bird that flew out of the building?"

Zhong Lecen shook his head: "No. This golden light is the relic left by the Dapeng Mingwang's curse. The mantra alone cannot invite the Dapeng Mingwang's body. And if the Dapeng Mingwang's body appears, this square is not enough to accommodate it. It seems that Yazi It’s not in this building anymore, and the things we prepared are no longer needed.”

Shen Gu pondered for a moment: "What do you know about King Ming's Curse? Then why don't you use it?"

Zhong Lecen smiled bitterly: "I have nothing to do with Buddhism. I can never forget all Taoism, but only the Buddhist mantras can't be remembered in any case."

Shen Gu asked strangely: "Can't we just copy it?"

Zhong Lecen smiled: "There is no Buddha in my heart, so what's the use of copying? If it's just a picture, it's better to copy it."

Shen Gu shook his head: "Then what are we going to do now?" It was like hitting a ball of cotton with a fist, and all the things that were carefully prepared were useless, which made people feel a little frustrated.

Zhong Lecen clapped the paper ashes on his hands: "There is still No. 4 elevator. Let's go to No. 2 elevator and dig out that piece of jade first."

The two of them stepped out of the elevator shaft while talking, when Shen Gu suddenly caught a glimpse of a piece of black fur under the base of the wall, the size of a palm.Shen Gu picked it up with a military thorn, and found that there was still flesh and blood on it, as if it had been torn from some animal: "This, it looks like dog skin."

"Dog skin?" Zhong Lecen touched it with a finger, "Someone brought a dog in?"

Shen Gu searched the ground carefully: "No, if it was torn from a dog, why is there no blood on the ground, and the security outside didn't hear the dog barking?"

Zhong Lecen pondered and said, "Maybe it was eaten by Yazi? But black dog blood is used to drive away evil spirits, and Yazi usually wouldn't eat it."

Shen Gu packed the piece of dog skin in a plastic bag: "Pack it up first, we'll talk about it when we go back."

Nothing unusual in elevator shaft #2.Shen Gu picked up the electric drill and drilled a few holes in the concrete floor.It turns out that the cement layer at the bottom of the elevator shaft is actually not thick, and there is soil underneath.Shen Gu flipped through it, and took out a piece of light red jade: "This color is rare."

Zhong Lecen wiped off the dirt with his sleeve: "This is actually a piece of thick jade skin, and pure ruby ​​is very rare."

Shen Gu leaned over to watch the patterns on the jade surface gradually reveal.On it was a bird that looked like a rooster to him, except that instead of a rooster's comb, it had a phoenix comb on its head.Zhong Lecen wiped the dirt clean, looked at it, and suddenly wiped it vigorously with his sleeve.Shen Gu was surprised: "What's wrong?"

Zhong Lecen wiped it a few times, stopped to look again, and sighed: "Nine-headed bird."

There are a few dark spots on the red jade, vaguely distributed on both sides of Suzaku's head, it really looks like there are eight extra heads.Zhong Lecen rubbed the lumps of color with his fingers, and sighed: "Nine-headed bird, also known as Jiufeng, it is said that half of its head was bitten off by a dog, after which pus and blood often dripped, if it dripped into someone's house, it would be ominous. Because I was bitten by a tengu, I am afraid of dogs. The people who came in took the dog, and it ran away in fright. However, if it wasn’t for Yangsui, it would not have the ability to show itself.”

Shen Gu pulled him up: "Don't worry about this, go to No. 4 elevator and dig out that thing first. But we have been in for a long time and there is no movement. Maybe the jade on No. 4 elevator was also dug up? "

The ground of No. 4 elevator hadn't moved, Zhong Lecen breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked around nervously.Shen Gu quickly lifted the cement and dug out the jade inside.It was a pitch-black mass, and the two squatted there looking at it for a long time, but they couldn't see what pattern it was.While looking at each other, Shen Gu suddenly heard the sound of the wind above his head, he quickly hugged Zhong Lecen and rolled out, only to hear a muffled slap, the ground seemed to be shaking.Shen Gu looked back, good guy!A mountain of meat fell at the bottom of the elevator shaft. It looked like it must have weighed at least a ton.

Rao Shen Gu had seen the world before, so he was stunned: "This is—" After only two words, the mountain of meat was elongated, and a bottomless black hole opened at the front, facing Shen Gu and Zhong Lecen. rushed over.Shen Gu raised his hand and fired a shot. The bullet penetrated into Roshan and made a small hole, but it couldn't stop Roshan's progress at all.Shen Gu hugged Zhong Lecen and rolled over again, Roushan slammed on the place where the two of them were lying just now, and stopped moving again.

Shen Gu had already seen clearly just now that this thing was simply a large piece of fresh meat, with faint blood streaks, but the surface seemed to be covered with a layer of transparent film, which undulated slightly as if it was breathing.But apart from the black hole just exposed at the front end, there are no eyes, ears, or nose, and nothing can be found.At this moment, Roshan was trembling slightly, and suddenly, Shen Gu felt the eardrum vibrate slightly.It wasn't that he heard any sound, it was just a feeling of vibration. Just as he thought of the three words "ultrasonic", Roshan jumped up and threw himself down in their direction.And when it jumped up, a warhead fell out of its body, and the dent just hit has been healed, and there is no trace.

Shen Gu dragged Zhong Lecen up and ran: "This thing is positioned with ultrasonic waves!"

Zhong Lecen ran wildly after him, out of breath: "This, this is chaos!"

Shen Gu really wanted to say: what wontons, and dumplings!This thing looks more like a hair cake from the outside, right?But at this time, he couldn't speak out, the chaos like a hill behind had jumped into the air, and Shen Gu could almost feel the sound of the wind pressing down on it.He pulled Zhong Lecen into a sharp turn, and Chaos slammed into a car in front with a bang, smashing the car into a pile of rubbish.Shen Gu pushed Zhong Lecen to the side of a van on the other side, and the two of them stuck tightly to the car.Since ultrasonic positioning was used, they had no choice but to stick themselves with the car as much as possible, so that the meat mountain could not be distinguished from its shape.

Chaos was quiet for a while.Shen Gu drew in the palm of Zhong Lecen's hand: "What should I do with this thing?"

With a helpless face, Zhong Lecen shook his head slightly.Just as Shen Gu frowned, Chaos suddenly opened the black hole at the front again, and the flesh on the edge of the hole showed a little wrinkle, and then, Chaos jumped up again, and rushed towards them accurately.

"Damn!" Shen Gu pulled the man up and ran, and of course the van behind him became a victim again, "Can you tell the difference?"

I dare not take the elevator at this time.The two ran across the parking lot, up the stairs, and from the ground floor to the lobby on the first floor.Behind him came the sound of Chaos' elongated body hitting the ground and the wall.In the hall on the first floor, there are three decorative pillars, the reception desk and a bonsai kumquat as tall as a person. Shen Gu dragged Zhong Lecen to hide behind the desk at the reception desk.He really couldn't believe it. Ultrasound can still distinguish the person hiding behind from the front?

The elongated body of Chaos is like an earthworm magnified 10,000+ times, the front half of the body is lifted up, and the flesh on the body trembles slightly.Shen Gu's eardrums felt the vibration again, but Chaos didn't take immediate measures. Instead, he opened the black hole at the front, his huge body turned slowly, drew a semicircle in the hall, and finally aimed at Shen Gu and Zhong Lecen's direction.Before it jumped up, Shen Gu dragged Zhong Lecen out and ran to the second floor, saying: "This thing must not only use ultrasonic positioning, but also other methods!"

Zhong Lecen's physical strength was not as good as his, and he said out of breath, "What can I do?"

Shen Gu smiled wryly.If he knew, he would have already figured out a way, so why run away?

Chaos doesn't seem to know what it means to be tired.Shen Gu dragged Zhong Lecen up the five floors, and the crackling sound followed behind him. Although the speed was not very fast, his endurance was astonishing.Zhong Lecen was panting, his legs were already a little weak.Normally, a five-story building is nothing, but now he is running for his life, and his chest is already hurting.

Shen Gu was thinking nervously while running.It's not okay to run like this, even if he can, Zhong Lecen can't either.But how does Chaos locate itself?Obviously without eyes, ears, mouth and nose, what else is there besides ultrasound?Judging from the unsuccessful hiding several times just now, although Chaos has no eyes and ears, he can hear voices.But just now in the parking lot and in the lobby, the two of them obviously didn't make a sound twice, especially in the lobby because they were still hiding behind the front desk. It was impossible to distinguish them with ultrasonic waves. Chaos did not find them at the beginning, but how did they locate them later?

Climbing up to the sixth floor, Zhong Lecen's legs began to visibly tremble.The weather was already very warm, and both of them were sweating profusely after running like this.Zhong Lecen was dragged away by Shen Gu, and his breath hit Shen Gu's ears, scorching hot.

hot?Shen Gu's heart suddenly moved.The company on the sixth floor seems to be moving, and there are several large cardboard boxes and some plastic films piled up at the door.Shen Gu violently dragged Zhong Lecen over, pressed him to the ground, picked up a big cardboard box and put him under it, and said in a deep voice, "Wait for me!"

Zhong Lecen was locked in the box by him without thinking, only listening to the rustling outside, it seemed that Shen Gu had wrapped several layers of plastic film.Then the footsteps moved away towards the other end of the corridor, actually heading towards Chaos.Hearing a gunshot, Zhong Lecen was anxious to open the box and get out, but Shen Gu called out from a distance: "Wait for me!" Then the chaotic and heavy crackling sound moved into the stairwell again, heading towards the seventh floor .

The corridor became dead silent again.Zhong Lecen was squatting in the box, his heart was beating wildly, making his whole body tremble involuntarily.I strained my ears to listen, but couldn't hear anything.Suddenly there was a buzzing overhead, and the central air conditioner started working.The air conditioner spewed hot air, and the temperature in the corridor gradually rose.Zhong Lecen was stuffed in the box, sweat dripping down like water.The sound of the air conditioner was getting louder and louder, as if it was heating up with all its strength. The whole corridor was filled with this monotonous humming sound, which made people feel more and more annoyed.

Zhong Lecen clenched his fists.Crouching in the box like this is actually very dangerous, if Chaos appears, he can't even see it.Before coming to the Jinyu Mansion, he had envisioned the possibility of various basaltic changes, but no matter what, he never thought that it would turn into chaos—a monster that he had never seen, and even vaguely described in various books.Thinking of the crackling sound that always sounded behind him, he had the urge to jump up and rush upstairs to find Shen Gu, and also had the idea of ​​escaping from the building.But Shen Gu said to wait for him.

"Wait for me. Wait for me..." Zhong Lecen muttered, clenching his fists.
