Decided to live by pretending to be a cat after being unemployed

In the hotel, after receiving the new progress of the case reported by Ge Ziming, Lang Yilang and the other three, several leaders of the Special Investigation Bureau who were away on duty all came back one after another.

After returning, they went to the room where the bodies of the three victims were placed to check, and confirmed that the missing shadow information reported by Ge Ziming and the others was true. point.

As one of the three people who discovered the clues, Lang Er was also fortunate to participate in this kind of meeting of the big leaders. He was a little nervous, and honestly shrank beside his brother, not daring to talk nonsense, and not daring to look around.

After everyone arrived, Lu Zhengdong motioned to Ge Ziming: "Xiao Ge, tell everyone what you told me about shadow creatures before."

Ge Ziming repeated what he had told Lang Yilang and the others before.The term "shadow mythical creature" is very biased. Ge Ziming's ability to understand it is thanks to his parents who like to collect these ancient books. He was able to read it by chance. Most people don't understand it at all.

Therefore, after listening to several district directors present, they were as astonished as Lang Yi was at the beginning. Only Hao Xian, who also likes to read these unpopular ancient books on weekdays, echoed at this moment: "I just happened to say what the shadow creature said. I’ve seen it before, and it’s true, if the murderer committed the crime inside the Shadow Creature, then it makes sense that we don’t notice the reason, the shadow has no breath or sound, and unless we take special precautions, we generally won’t be able to detect it at all.”

"That is to say, the murderer hid in the Shadow Creature, and then took away the three shadows of Director Miao and the three of them, causing them to fall into the current situation of life and death. Is it the shadow on the surveillance? Why did he choose Director Miao?" Did they attack and look so much like Consultant Guan, are they trying to put blame on Consultant Guan?" Fang Jianzhang asked.

No one answered, and these few questions were also the key for them to figure out and reveal the truth of the case.

In the silence, Lu Zhengdong rationalized his thoughts and said: "How about this, let's find out all the doubts in this case that have not been clarified, and see if there are any clues."

"We don't know the shadow identity and its motives for doing all these things for the time being. Let's put it aside for now. Then, what kind of person has the ability to do this, that is, what kind of person has the ability to enter the shadow creature?" Lu Zhengdong Ask everyone.

"Shadow Creatures, which rely on the existence of the real world, will be difficult to enter. You need to find a turbulent point in the space. Once you find this turbulent point, there is actually no barrier to entry, and anyone can enter." Hao Xian analyzed it.

This sentence cut off the possibility of finding the identity of the murderer through this clue, and Lu Zhengdong then asked the next question: "Everyone has nine shadows, why did the murderer only take three from each person?"

Xiong Yu stroked his chin and pondered: "That's right, the positions of these nine shadows are still different. He wants to make a complete figure, so why not just take it from one person? Take it from three people separately, or He didn't mind the trouble if he had to separate his hands three times. Could it be that the murderer also knew not to pluck the wool from a sheep, for fear that we would find out?"

"Probably not," Hao Xian denied, "If we were really afraid that we would find out, we wouldn't choose Director Miao and the others to do it at all. Ordinary people would be obviously less likely to be detected. According to Director Miao and the others who have no breathing or pulse, ordinary people After being killed, it will only be directly recognized as a normal death, and the crime will not even be reported."

"As for the reason why he only took away three shadows..." Hao Xian also tried to explain: "Shadows are actually very similar to souls. Among the three souls and seven souls of a person, one or two souls are relatively loose, and it is easy to be frightened or other things. Stimulation and loss, so it is often seen that someone loses one soul, but it does not happen that all souls are lost due to fright.”

"Because the remaining souls are human roots, like the roots of a tree. The leaves may fall off due to stimulation, but the roots cannot be easily shaken unless the tree dies. The same is true for the shadows. The murderer probably didn't want to take away all nine shadows. , but he couldn’t do it, so he could only grab three of them.”

"So what is he going to do with such a complete figure?" Fang Jianzhang asked.

There was another silence, everyone was frowning and confused, only Lu Zhengdong was thoughtful, Fang Jianzhang saw this and asked: "Ju Lu, do you have any ideas?"

"I can't talk about any ideas, I just have an association." Lu Zhengdong said: "You have all heard of ghosts, right?"

Even the least knowledgeable Lang Er has heard of such a well-known story as the dead ghost.So everyone nodded.

Lu Zhengdong continued: "People who die unexpectedly, such as drowning ghosts, will be trapped in the water and cannot be released. The way to escape is to find someone to replace themselves."

"Since the murderer is a shadow in the shadow creature, is he looking for a substitute for himself when he pieced together such a complete shadow?"

"It's possible. It's not easy to get in and out of the shadow beast. The murderer is probably trapped in the shadow beast. He wants to find a substitute to replace himself. But it still doesn't explain why he chose to attack Director Miao and the others. , and why you want to imitate Consultant Guan again." Hao Xian said.

After analyzing this, the question went back to the original point. Zhang Dehai, who had been silently listening, couldn't sit still. He said anxiously: "So what will be the consequences of losing the shadow? If Jiajun and the others can't find the shadow, will they continue to be like this?" Wake up? Is life in danger?"

Hao Xian sat next to Zhang Dehai. He understood Zhang Dehai's impatience. After all, he was the only son of the other party, so he comforted him: "There is no serious problem for the time being. If the soul is still there, it means that he is not dead. As long as the shadow is recovered, he should be able to recover." Yes. Someone in the bureau has been watching them, and will report to us if there is any situation..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by an employee of the Special Investigation Bureau who suddenly pushed open the door of the meeting room. Lu Zhengdong frowned. He recognized this as the person in charge of guarding Room 6018. Could it be that ...

The other party's words confirmed his guess: "It's not good, Director Lu! Director Miao's souls suddenly started to disperse!"

"What?! Where's my son?" Zhang Dehai reacted the fastest, and rushed out of the meeting room immediately after speaking.

The rest of the people followed immediately, and when they ran to room 6018, they saw that the souls of Miao Qianzi, Miao Xin, and Zhang Jiajun had begun to overflow, and one of them was leaving the body.

"Catch their souls first!" Lu Zhengdong shouted.

He started at the same moment as he spoke, he controlled Miao Qianzi's soul, Hao Xian and Zhang Dehai each controlled the souls of Miao Xin and Zhang Jiajun, and then the three of them cast magic seals to forcefully seal this soul back into the body.

In this way, it can be regarded as barely protecting the lives of these three people.

but……

"No." Lu Zhengdong frowned: "The soul has already begun to disperse. The first to leave the body is the heavenly soul, and then the earthly soul. We can barely seal the heavenly soul and the earthly soul back into the body, but once the fateful soul cannot If you leave the body, there is really no way to save it.”

"Why did this happen?! Wasn't it fine before?! Why did you suddenly start to lose your soul?!" Zhang Dehai was so anxious that he lost his composure.

"It should be something happened to the shadow." Hao Xian guessed: "No matter what the other party's purpose in taking away their shadow is, he has probably finally started to act now."

"But why now? Obviously he already got it together yesterday." Fang Jianzhang asked.

"If you want to talk about what's special about this time..." Xiong Yu glanced at his phone and said, "Tomorrow is New Year's Day, I almost forgot, and the New Year's Eve is just over an hour away, does it have something to do with it?"

"New Year's Day..." Lu Zhengdong recited the name of the festival: "One year begins again, everything is renewed. New Year's Day is the beginning of a year and the end of a cycle, and the intersection of the old and the new, the space is often more turbulent than usual , if he really wants to find someone to be a scapegoat, this is the right time."

"Hey, where are you going?" Hao Xian called out to Zhang Dehai who suddenly turned away.

Zhang Dehai didn't look back: "Chasing the fugitive."

Xiong Yu got angry when he heard that, and stopped in front of Zhang Dehai: "Are you finished? After all this, you still doubt Consultant Guan?"

Zhang Dehai's sleeve was shaken, he pushed Xiong Yu away and said angrily: "Even if he is not the murderer, the murderer's choice of target and the appearance of the shadow all show that the other party must be targeting the monster! Only by finding the monster can it be possible." Find the murderer!"

Zhang Dehai left after finishing speaking, his expression was anxious and eager, if everything went according to their analysis, then midnight tonight was the last time for him to save his son.

Xiong Yu was taken aback for a moment, and after realizing his reaction, he chased after him, but instead of trying to stop him, he said, "I'll go too."

Personal enmity belongs to personal enmity, but it is his responsibility as the director of the Special Investigation Bureau to arrest such criminals.What's more, he longed to catch the murderer quickly, so as to truly clear Guan Rin's name.

"Lu Ju, let's go too!" Ge Ziming and his group, who had been following these leaders, didn't want to sit in the house anymore, they had to do something.

Lu Zhengdong looked at the three of Ge Ziming, then at Hao Xian and Fang Jianzhang who were equally eager, nodded, and commanded: "Director Hao takes people to the south of the city, Director Fang takes people to the north of the city, Xiao Ge, you go and get all the people who are currently on leave. Let's all shout, and the whole situation will be dispatched tonight!"

"Yes!" The crowd responded in unison.

At eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, there were chaotic footsteps in the supposedly quiet hotel.Everyone in the Special Investigation Bureau, from top to bottom, even clerks like Luo Bo, joined the search team tonight.

But this does not include Gu Huaishan, after all he is not a member of the special investigation bureau.Therefore, the chaos outside was chaotic, and the noise was noisy, but no one came to disturb him.

He was able to quietly control those demonic energy clones in the room to search for targets, but unfortunately, since the last fight, he couldn't find Zhao Xuanming's figure again.

Where will the other party go?Gu Huaishan frowned and thought.

If he was in a sober state, the other party might be wandering the streets, and he might go to Guan Lin, but now Zhao Xuanming is in a state of being enraged and controlled by demonic nature, he will... yes!Gu Huaishan suddenly thought of those three cases, and Zhao Xuanming, who was angered, would hurt others again!

Moreover, the hurt must be the person who bullied Guan Lin, that can only be...

Gu Huaishan left the room suddenly. He went downstairs with the staff of the Special Investigation Bureau. When he went downstairs, he bumped into Luo Bo. Luo Bo asked, "Where are you going?"

Gu Huaishan made up an excuse casually: "I've been bored in the room all day, and I want to go downstairs for a walk."

He also asked, "Where are you going?"

"Oh, let's go to Guan Rin. There is an emergency. Now the whole situation is dispatched. We must find him before twelve o'clock." Luo Bo said very briefly, and the time was running short. He kept walking while talking. .

A group of people quickly arrived at the downstairs hall, Gu Huaishan swept the crowd, and at a glance saw a group of people who were about to go out to Zhang Dehai.

After locating the target, he looked around the entire hall again. There were many people standing in the hall, and there was nothing unusual at first glance. Suddenly, his eyes stopped on a sofa behind Zhang Dehai that was placed in the hall for guests to rest.

There was nothing wrong with the shadow of the sofa being projected on the wall, but Gu Huaishan noticed that there was a sharp-edged protrusion on the shadow of the sofa, which was still shaking slightly. It was... the ear of a cat.

Where is he!

Gu Huaishan finally found the target, but...he looked around, there were so many people, he absolutely couldn't make a move.Agitated, he looked around and stopped again, this time behind the landscape tree in the hall, the shadow of the landscape tree was projected on the ground, but there seemed to be something extra on the shadow on the ground, like a rope, or... Tail.

Cat's tail.

How could there be two cats... Gu Huaishan's pupils shrank, he realized it, and at the same time, he also knew that it was too late.

Zhang Dehai walked outside, he didn't realize that something was following him.

The shadow hidden behind the sofa approached him silently. He first stepped out his paws, and then his body. After the entire huge figure was out of the sofa, he had been reminded to pay attention to the shadow. Everyone finally found out. wrong.

Someone yelled: "Look at the wall!"

Everyone, including Zhang Dehai, turned their heads to look over, and saw the ferocious animal figure with its teeth bared.

After a moment of astonishment, Lang Yi reacted and shouted: "That's the murderer! Be careful!"

Everyone took out their weapons subconsciously, but Zhang Dehai was even more violent. He directly shot a spell and hit the shadow on the wall.

He tried his best, desperate to save his son.

The power of this technique is really impressive, it blasted away the wall with one blow, a big hole was broken in the wall, and the bricks and stones were scattered, but... the animal shadow was not damaged at all!

"No, the shadow cannot be hurt by attacks in the real world!" Ge Ziming shouted.

So what to do? !

Everyone held the magic weapon and held the magic weapon, but they couldn't use their strength at this moment.

And when everyone was at a loss, the shadow continued to move forward. He was still at his original pace, approaching step by step. His beast eyes full of killing intent had already locked on the prey, and no one could stop him.

"Is it useful to turn off the lights?" Fang Jianzhang shouted.

"It's useless!" Hao Xian replied: "The shadow in the shadow monster doesn't exist without the light source! After turning off the light, he will hide in the darkness, and we can't even see him!"

"Then it's okay to see it now!" Xiong Yu slammed the wall angrily.

The shadow was getting closer and closer, when Lu Zhengdong who had just arrived saw it, he hurriedly shouted: "Run first!"

He was shouting to Zhang Dehai, but Zhang Dehai didn't listen, his son was in danger, and as a father, he had to save his son!

He drew out a mahogany sword, and pointed the wooden blade at the shadow on the wall, as if declaring war.

The ferocious beast figure seemed to growl in a low voice, and then, as if enraged, he jumped up violently!

Taomu's sword tip is vulnerable to a single blow, and his sharp claws will tear apart the opponent's shadow!

Everyone looked at the huge beast shadow rising into the sky on the wall, and the tiny figure under the beast shadow, their pupils constricted in unison, they foresaw Zhang Dehai's ending!

But this should have been a doomed ending, but it was rewritten, and it was rewritten to be another huge beast shadow!

At the same moment when Zhao Xuanming launched the attack, Guan Rin, who was hiding behind the landscape tree, also jumped up at the same moment. His shadow collided with Zhao Xuanming's shadow. They roared loudly and silently at each other.

It was silent to everyone's ears, but in the shadow of only the two of them, the roar was so loud and intense.

This is the first greeting when they meet again after thousands of years apart.

But this is the way.
