Your little cute earth is online

Shen Lu subconsciously held his breath.

He saw the weapon in the opponent's hand, which was in the shape of a gun. Following the pace of that person, it was faintly visible between the hem of the black clothes.

The man walked two steps, Shen Lu quickly judged: he is not Wu Xiao.Wu Xiao is taller and thinner than him.

Shen Lu unconsciously glanced at the bedroom door, but the bedroom was always quiet, nothing could be heard except for the stranger's footsteps——

what to do?Should he make a move to stop this guy?Or report to the patrol soldiers at the base immediately?

Shen Lu's back was icy cold.He felt as if he had been left alone in the dark and empty wilderness, and he was about to face the fact that he was alone and helpless.

The most urgent task is to confirm Wu Xiao's safety... Shen Lu gritted his teeth and focused on two purposes, carefully adjusting the lens of "flying insects", one flew towards the bedroom, trying to capture more details ; the other quietly approached the masked guy from a dark corner and took more images of him.

Shen Lu swallowed unconsciously... He had never tried such an operation before.

Fortunately, he is doing pretty well.

The viewer, which is as invisible as a mosquito, quietly approached the tall man in black robe, and the angle of view would soon be in the direction of his front——

There were two sounds of "Zi la", a fine and sharp breaking sound, and small bright blue sparks bloomed on the two miniature viewfinders, which swayed left and right in the air twice, and fell straight down.

This small movement is especially conspicuous in a dark room.

Shen Lu was startled, and almost smashed the terminal on the ground.The last recorded picture on the terminal was the scene where the man seemed to be aware of something and swept his gaze to the viewfinder.

...was discovered!

Shen Lu subconsciously wanted to run away, but he knew that he and this man were only separated by a wall, and the movement of running away would definitely alarm him, perhaps even Shen Lu himself would become his "prey"!

Shen Lu turned his head and pressed his body into the shadows completely.

One second, two seconds... He didn't hear the man's footsteps coming towards him.

"..."

Shen Lu's upper body tilted slightly, looking at Wu Xiao's door through the shadow of the corner.

The door that was originally ajar was closed.

Shen Lu: "..." He hastily lowered his head, and used his terminal to contact the patrol team of the military headquarters: "An abnormal person appears here, hurry up!"

After doing all this, he bowed his head and thought for a moment, thinking about what he should do now.

He bowed his head, took out his terminal, and sent Wu Xiao a bunch of numbers composed of zeros and ones—that was the binary conversion they had learned in the base course.

"...0110111...00101"

What Shen Lu said was "I'm outside", but after converting it into binary, it turned out to be a string of ridiculously long numbers.His fingertips trembled when he lost, but he knew that Wu Xiao would definitely be able to recognize these things.

At first glance, these zeros and ones look like junk programs sent by the system after a pump.Even if it is discovered, the man in black robe may not be able to read it.

Shen Lu is gambling——

The terminal displays that the message has been sent successfully.

Wu Xiao's room was still quiet.

It seems that Wu Xiao is not completely independent, or he is not in a sober state now, otherwise he will definitely reply to Shen Lu.

Shen Lu thought of the blood dripping from the man he saw again, and wondered why the patrolling soldiers didn't come. Recently, there was an incident with the bionic man, shouldn't they be vigilant day and night, why are they moving so slowly!

I don't know how long it took, until Shen Lu felt his head was a little dizzy - the door finally opened.

The lights flickered on.

The wooden door swung open with a creak, but there was no one behind it!

Shen Lu's pupils dilated slightly.He remembered that Wu Xiao lived in a room with a window, and the window in the living room could lead directly to the alley behind the building——

Not caring so much, Shen Lu could only walk in the direction of Wu Xiao's room in anxiety.He pushed open the door hard, subconsciously searching for traces of Wu Xiao in the dim room, but in the next second, the cold metallic luster flashed across the darkness, and with a bang, the door was closed together with the light source behind him , surrounded by a terrible silence.

Just as Shen Lu wanted to take a deep breath, he felt something with a metal-like cold texture wrapped around his neck like a snake, pulling him forward violently.

Shen Lu fell heavily to the ground, his side face and ear pinnae grazed the ground, creating a hot tingling sensation.At the same time, the thing around his neck was slowly tightening... For a moment, he felt many floating shadows appearing in front of his eyes, and he almost lost consciousness on the spot.

"drop."

His terminal lights up, and a certain reply is displayed on it: "The rescue signal failed to be sent. Please make sure the terminal signal is normal and send it again."

Shen Lu: "...!"

This message stung Shen Lu's eyes, but instead made him struggle desperately.His fingers tightly grabbed the cold metal on his neck, and the sharp edges cut the skin of his palm, but the pain made him more awake.

He raised his head, stretched out his hand to wrap the long metal chain around his wrist, and yanked it in his direction—the long chain was taut, and the metal pieces that were originally tightly connected made a soft humming—only Seeing that the metal chain was lighting up step by step as if it was fully charged, the orange-red light was about to rush to Shen Lu's eyes.

Shen Lu gasped, tremblingly took out a wrench from his waist, and slammed it on the long metal chain!

Sparks splattered.

The "charging" of the long metal chain was forcibly interrupted by his wrench, and the excess energy caused the joints of the long whip to be burned, turning it into scorched black in an instant.

Shen Lu quickly tore off the end of the long metal whip, covered his neck and coughed a few times, and suddenly felt like returning to the human world.

He raised his head and shouted, "Who are you—"

With a "bang", a figure in a black robe flashed in front of him, and strange light patterns flickered on the soles of that person's feet, only then did Shen Lu realize that it was a small gravity thruster.Shen Lu rolled on the spot, avoiding the opponent's kick, but he didn't know where he rolled, and hit his head against a solid wall, grinning his teeth in pain.

Seeing the man in black raised his whip again, Shen Lu turned his head and took a closer look—isn't this Wu Xiao's bedroom?Chen Lu gritted his teeth and picked up the wrench beside him, and slammed it hard on the handle of the bedroom door, causing sawdust to splash everywhere.

The bedroom door was opened.

But the man in black seemed to have sensed something, and stopped.

Their fight was too fierce, and people around them would soon notice the abnormality here.

The footsteps of the man in black paused, and the silver whip he held in his hand lingered back to his side automatically as if it was alive.He stood in front of the window with his back facing the dim moonlight. The long whip was like a mysterious python, every inch of the metal scales on his body exuded a chill.

Shen Lu was stunned for a moment.

But the next moment, the metal whip was raised, the man in black opened the window, and jumped down without hesitation.

Shen Lu: "...!"

Shen Lu endured the bloody smell in his mouth, and just wanted to chase after him, but found that there was nothing on the dimly lit window sill.

...There is something weird about that guy, and it's not a waste of time to escape here.Just now he deliberately stayed in Wu Xiao's room, just to lure Shen Lu over.

Shen Lu subconsciously felt that it was not a good choice for him to catch up like this, so he turned his head and rushed to the bedroom without hesitation - if he guessed correctly, Wu Xiao was there!

Shen Lu turned on the light.

"Wu Xiao, are you there? Wu..."

Shen Lu's exclamation was lost in a burst of speechlessness.

His eyes were dazed, and he stood upright, a few drops of crimson blood flowed from the palm cut by the metal, but he didn't feel the fresh wound at all.

...All of this in front of him has left a terrible scar on his heart.

Wu Xiao is inside.

He was still wearing the uniform of white shirt and long blue coat, lying pale on the ground in a pool of blood.

The color of the pool of blood was deeper than any red dye Shen Lu had ever seen.There was also a strong, overwhelming bloody smell.

Wu Xiao closed his eyes, looking a little tired.There were bloodstains on both of his hands, but the long sleeves of his coat were intact.The most frightening thing is his waist—his white shirt was unbuttoned, revealing his thin and pale waist, the layer of lifeless skin was full of scars, and the opened skin and flesh were messy but stylishly pieced together. letter:

"G".

Shen Lu was silent for a long time.

It took him a while to spare the energy to look at other things in the room.

A personal terminal thrown in a corner.

A testing instrument placed on a straight surface.

There are also a few words drawn with blood on the wall with the back against the bed——

"The closer we are to the dust, the farther we are from the gods."

*

It was already the second day when Lin Xingzhu received the news.

"What? The Shenshen faction killed people in the deep sea base?" He said incredulously.

The person who told them about this was Jucourt, who was obviously also in shock: "...That's right. The imprint of the God-listening sect was left on the scene, and it was their signature slogan ——except for them, few people can use it. They also left marks on the corpse, which should be some kind of insult to the corpse, or some kind of warning..."

"Who is the deceased?" Ji Yuncheng walked up to Lin Xingzhu and asked Qiucourt, who had projected an image on the communicator.

"The deceased's name is Wu Xiao. He was a very young man, only 20 years old this year. He used to be a maintenance engineer in the military department, and he was recently promoted to a supervisor." Qiucourt said.

"20 years old?" Ji Yuncheng looked at the photo sent by Qiu Kuote, which showed a young man with a frail but cheerful smile, "He is indeed very young—as a supervisor, he is even younger."

"His promotion is a matter of course...he is a rare talent in the maintenance department." Qiucourt sighed, "There is another witness at the scene, and it is said that he also had a confrontation with the murderer who killed Wu Xiao. fight."

As he said that, Jucourt transferred another person's file.

Lin Xingzhui took a closer look, frowned slightly, and said, "I've seen this man before. His name is... Shen Lu?"

"Isn't the name registered here Shen Yuehan?" Ji Yuncheng raised his eyebrows, stretched out his finger and tapped the information screen.

"The child changed it himself. But he is not yet an adult, so he does not have the freedom to officially change his name, so this name is recorded in the system and files." Qiao Te shook his head and said.

Lin Xingzhu: "Didn't he say he had changed his name?"

Jocourt: "That's what I lied to him...he won't attend class unless we change his name. But we can't get around the rules of the base, so we can only fulfill his wish in his class. This kid never doubted it."

Lin Xingzhu: "So, you are very familiar with Shen Lu?"

"...Yes. Not only Shen Lu, but also Wu Xiao, both of them are my acquaintances." Qiucourt said with a smile, "I just came out of the maintenance department, and was later killed by Samuel I was promoted to the military department. When they were young, I did the same work as them in the base." Smiling and laughing... the expression on Joe Court's face faded.

It seems that Shen Lu and Wu Xiao are juniors who have a good relationship with him.

Lin Xingzhu had no intention of exposing his wounds, since he said so, then Shen Lu and Wu Xiao must also be friends.What's more, the two of them lived close together... Shen Lu would be the first to discover the scene, which is normal.

However, Shen Lu's child, Lin Xingzhu, has also seen him before, he is a boy who hasn't really grown up yet.He fought with the assailant and survived?

"Shen Lu said that last night he happened to have a wrench in his waist, and was going to practice his arm strength after returning to the room. He didn't expect to meet the murderer who used a metal whip...his wrench happened to be a metal whip. Nemesis."

Lin Xingzhu: "..." To be precise, Shen Lu relied on this wrench to save his life by accident, right?

But Lin Xingzhu has no intention of correcting these small details now.This topic is too heavy, and Lin Xingzhu doesn't want to criticize Jocourt who is trying to get rid of the depressed state.

...... Jucourt should be very grateful that Shen Lu survived from the assailant.

"Is there any distinguishing feature about the murderer?"

"Shen Lu once sent a detector and recorded some images about the murderer. But the murderer disguised himself very well, and the indoor light was very dark, so what he could see was limited." Qiucourt shook his head.

That is, no special clues have been found yet.

Lin Xingzhu watched the video.Also, such a tall figure, who disguised himself from head to toe in a black robe, could see clearly?

But just as they were deep in thought, Ji Yuncheng made a sudden move and adjusted the dim and blurred image from the end to the middle.

"...Here." Ji Yuncheng pressed the pause button, "He wears a gun at his waist. Are there any marks of gunshot wounds on the deceased's body?"

"No." Jocourt replied immediately, "only the marks of knife wounds and whips."

"Then what is he carrying this gun for?" Ji Yuncheng asked, "Since he doesn't intend to expose himself, why does he carry this most easily exposed weapon?"
