Abyssal Kingdom

Just after three o'clock, Guan Xingle came to visit.

When he saw Wei An and Gui Ling, he expressed the hope that they could wear uniforms, but Wei An ignored him.They didn't have uniforms, of course, and they didn't want to wear them at all.

There are fifteen households still living on the Paradise Floor. In the afternoon, they will meet in the owner's activity hall on the first floor, drink and chat, occasionally play cards, or have a small darts match or something.

Wei An could probably imagine that these people had a good time under the rule of the rebel army. Some of them might have had some blood on their hands, and some of them might just have relatives with high-level officials.

The federal army didn't want to do anything to them, they just let them go home, and they didn't have much to do, and they might be unwelcome when they went out, so they just listened to music, talked, and missed the old days.

Wei An heard these people chatting from a distance, and someone was complaining: "How do I know what happened in the 'Gate of Hell'? Didn't I always promote this as an ancient law? Necessary sacrifices or something..."

"It's been said on TV that the experiment is too bloody, but I haven't seen idol dramas that worship superpowers less." Another person said, "Isn't that how ancient civilizations are? If you don't do something extreme, how can you open that door? Get stronger power?"

Someone enthusiastically mentioned a certain person who claimed to be a priest of the Yingtian regime back then, and they were full of praise for him, saying that he was actually very courageous, and not everyone could be desperate for power.Of course many people will die, but that is a necessary price.

"The essence of human beings is to evolve!" said a man who sounded too drunk, "Look at Taoyuan now. At that time, I should have gone to Beishan or Tongyun. It is said that they really extracted high-end technology from Shenhuang. See , This is a person who does practical things!"

"There are federal officers upstairs now, so let's talk less." His companion said, "But those returnees are really annoying, they just think they are dead, and come back to harass ordinary people..."

"Xingle said that the two officers may be able to help, but they seem reluctant. See if you can spend some money and ask them to help find the way..."

"It's just two lieutenants, they're not very old, and they're not from the local area. Why don't you find something to do—"

Wei An has good hearing, so he heard so much before coming to him.

When approaching the party, Guan Xingle let out a "cough", and a group of people quickly changed the subject and started talking about art and collections.

Wei An walked in with a blank expression.

He doesn't care much about these words, he has seen this kind of people a lot, and he talks like he is behind the scenes. In fact, what he can do is to spread some news and pretend to be in a relationship with celebrities.

Talking about "finding something" is probably trying to give them some money, or engage in sex, and then threaten to complain or something.

He's not worried at all... Well, he's worried about complaining, but he can kill everyone in this building if he has to, so he should be safe.

Two "federal officers" Wei An and Gui Ling walked in, and what they saw was a luxurious and undisciplined scene.

The place has been temporarily remodeled, with a pool table in the corner, a bar and a dance floor, and soft music playing. The color tone has a gorgeous sense of metallic color, and it is some old tunes.

There are a lot of wine, and some snacks for afternoon tea. The ingredients are expensive, but if you take a closer look, there are not many fresh ones, most of them are canned.

Considering the desertedness of the whole building, and the chaos and bloodyness that filled the city, it was a bit like a declining nobleman entertaining himself.

The owners warmly welcome them.

A group of people came to shake hands, called them "sir", and asked about the current situation of the Union Army.

——How is the black mist area, can the "returners" be cleared without investigation, when will the large area be opened, whether there is unemployment compensation, etc.

With a smile on his face, Wei An casually responded to this bunch of temptations, and said in a different way, "It is inconvenient to disclose."He was good at this kind of conversation, knowing how to appear inscrutable without being offensive.

There were many similar scenes in the peaceful life in his fantasy back then. This is his professional skill, but now it is difficult to bear such scenes for some reason.

In this kind of place you are like a commodity, being probed and discussed, getting a certain offer.he does not like.

A middle-aged man seemed to like Guiling quite a bit, so he gave him a plate of mangoes, saying that they were delicious and that they were hard to buy when they were out of season.

Wei An quickly walked over, grabbed Gui Ling's shoulders, and said, "He won't eat."

He took him away and gave him a hard look.

Wei An looked unhappy.

"I don't like it here," he complained.

Gui Ling walked beside him and said, "Me too, let's finish as soon as possible."

Wei An nodded, and suddenly understood some of the descriptions about companions he had read in the past. The situation obviously hasn't changed, but with another person with him, loneliness and anxiety seem to be calmed down.

Wei An was still wondering if the owner who bought the first-class disposal garbage bin would run away or cause trouble, but it didn't, and everything was peaceful.

Here was a lady in a soft wool dress of expensive material and equally expensive jewellery, drinking tea by the window of a party.

According to Guan Xingle, her husband died a week ago, and she lives with a pair of young children, bodyguards, and servants.

She was talking to a female companion as they passed.

"...the flesh and blood were placed in a big stirring pot, and a brazing iron was stirring all the time, and he asked me if I had seen it before." She said, laughing, "I think he just wanted to scare me, so Also pretended to be frightened.

"He said that those people will be resurrected in another world. This is a process of entering. In the video, the faces of those people are all facing up. I always feel that they are not dead. They have a confused expression in a dream. That must be Terrible dream—”

Mrs. Li's tone was steady and her smile was gentle. What she said seemed to be an interesting story about her relationship with her deceased husband, but what she said seemed to be on the wrong set.

The housekeeper called out politely: "Madam Li."

She turned her head and saw Wei An and the two still had gentle smiles on their faces.

She stood up to introduce herself, welcomed the two officers to the Paradise Floor, and said a few compliments, and asked them to sit down on the sofa opposite, while the servants came to pour tea.

Wei An took a sip, and as expected, it was a very particular tea.

"About a week ago, blood stains appeared on some devices in my house, and occasionally I found blood-stained clothes in the corner of the room. I cleaned them up on the first day, and they were still there when I went to see them the next day." Mrs. Li said, "This I didn't want to cause trouble at the beginning of the year, so I wanted to set up a destruction-type trash can to clean it up completely, otherwise it would be disgusting."

"Where did you get the first-class destruction bins?" Wei An said.

"It's a relationship."

"Don't you think the price is not right?"

"I'm not very sensitive to money."

"You said that the people who stay here are more or less nervous, so they can't move out," Wei An said, "The price of the garbage can is enough to buy your three houses, and it doesn't make you sensitive. ?”

Mrs. Li smiled and looked directly into Wei An's eyes. She had calm eyes and must have known that the situation had changed, but her expression did not change at all.

Wei An suddenly knew what she was going to say next.

"Ah, is it really that expensive," she said, "I'm sorry, but I've never been able to count money."

Indeed, all the people Wei An has seen who can smile so naturally when questioned inconsistently in this situation are generally anti-social.

Of course, Wei An can do it himself, and he has been unable to distinguish himself from those people for many years.

After chatting again for a while, Wei An checked the time, and it took only half an hour, which felt like a day.

He said, "Can I go and see it?"

Mrs. Leigh agreed, her manner always graceful.

A group of people went to her house, which was not far from Wei An's house. They were all super-large houses occupying half a floor, and it was almost impossible to get lost in it.

The house is elegantly decorated, with many artworks, good lighting and comfortable living area.Money can bring a first-class living environment. Wei An is familiar with this tune. If you put in enough energy to study, you can arrange the house to meet the standards in all aspects.

As soon as Wei An came in, he smelled a strong smell of blood, very similar to what he smelled next to the rescue bus in the morning.

He looked around, except for Guiling's slight reaction, the housekeeper and the two people who came to join in the fun looked normal, it seemed that only they could smell it.

Wei An walked into the depths of the house.

He walked through the hall, side hall and a corridor. This is a beautiful and lifeless house, with the unified aesthetics and thinking habits of high-level people like them, such as which specific character is highlighted through certain decorations, Wei An also studied.

He came to a decorative cabinet.

That's where the smell came from, and he knew at a glance that it was a secret room. A house of this size had such an area for storing expensive collections.

Wei An lifted his chin and said, "Open."

Mrs. Leigh glanced at him, and if she wondered why he came straight for the closet as soon as he entered the house, she didn't show it.

She obediently opened the chamber.

This kind of person always knows when to cooperate, like an ominous puppet.

This is an area of ​​about fifty square meters, and there is nothing in it.

But the moment he opened it, Wei An smelled a musty smell like flesh and blood.

The air is damp and turbid, the walls are peeling off and seeping stains, like the basement of an abandoned building. For some reason, it appeared in the property of the owner of an expensive community. Even the building materials here are obviously not the same as the outside.

There are some old and bloody clothes piled up in the corner of the area, as well as children's shoes and scrunchies.There are bloody nail prints on the wall. If you look closely, you can see blood seeping from the corner of the wall.

It's not that it wasn't cleaned, it just leaked out.

No one spoke, and when the door was opened, it seemed that there was an awkward moment in a social situation, and no decent person came out to say anything to ease the atmosphere.

Wei An looked at this place, which reminded him of a case he handled many years ago.

At the scene of a mass murder in illegal drug trafficking, the walls of the warehouse were mottled, and corpse water seeped through, as if a huge human face was trying to penetrate the wall and crawl out from another space.

Behind that wall is a horrible scene, the death toll has reached the level of a slaughterhouse, and the corpses have been piled together for a long time.It is hard to imagine that human limbs can be piled up in such a dirty, perverted and indignified way, and the smell is unforgettable for a lifetime.

The criminal took it for granted, saying that this was just a garbage dump that wasn't handled very cleanly, and the person in charge didn't ask him to treat the corpse in a way that met the hygienic standards.

——By the way, Wei An always spoke properly and smiled during the interrogation process, and he did not change when he broke the opponent's arm and pressed his head into the water basin during the torture.

He had been complained about once before, and he didn't want to cause trouble because of his bad attitude.

Wei An looked at Mrs. Li, she had a gentle tone and a smile on her face.

"This was originally a normal secret room, and I don't know when it became like this." She said, "I threw some sundries to be destroyed, but I didn't want to call the police. After all, the situation is complicated now and there is no extra police force."

"Madam Li is really considerate of the government," Wei An said.

"Ah, you must also know that my husband worked in the experimental area before, and I feel sorry for his crimes," she said, with a restrained pained expression, "but he has already been tried and paid the price. I am very sorry I don’t know anything about it, I just hope that the house can be sold for a good price in the future.”

"I understand very well." Wei An said.

"Cough, yes, it's best not to call the police. The follow-up investigation is too troublesome." The housekeeper said, "If the two of you can solve this matter in a low-key manner, we will definitely be rewarded heavily."

"What's next door?" Wei An said.

"The next door is the guest room, and there is nothing there." Mrs. Li said.

Wei An went to see it, and it was indeed a guest room, clean and unoccupied for a long time, and the smell of blood could hardly be smelled.

He looked at the white wall, there was something here, very strange, but he couldn't see it.

It was a huge shadow, and the smudges in the space were like huge screaming faces, trying to escape from hell, but the pain was a vague and invisible message.

As the owner of the deep domain system, Wei An can see many hidden things, but he can't see anything in this building at all.

He only felt a faint filth. Although the window was clear and clean, the ground, glass and light seemed to be stained, and the air was always filthy.

Wei An was about to say something, but Mrs. Li's cell phone rang.

She connected it, and there was a woman's voice on the opposite side. It sounded like a classmate of hers in higher education who came to Yingtian from other places. The two made an appointment for dinner. She began to arrange the restaurant at the murder scene on her own.

Wei An didn't stop, he checked the surroundings and listened to her chatting aimlessly, from embarrassing things about the tutor to a particular dish in the restaurant he ordered - Wei An carefully memorized this part.

He felt very bad. The secret here must be related to the large-scale human experiment in the old days.

That is a technology as evil as the gods, and it is developing in a deformed and terrifying direction on the technology tree of ancient civilizations, and it can no longer be easily solved.

Although the contract of Guiling in Wei An's hands has been upgraded, it has not yet reached the level of the Ministry of Science. He absolutely does not want to have anything to do with the federal army. They brought Guiling here for the purpose of welcoming the sky.

There is madness, pain, and hunger for power in all of these things.

He didn't want to worry about it, he just wanted to live in peace.

Wei An pretended to walk around the house again, then checked the time, and his spirits lifted.

"Off work," he said.

Mrs. Li also checked the time, it was exactly four o'clock.

"I'm on vacation, so I should leave work early." Wei An said.

He turned his head to Guiling and said, "Shall we go to the small park to play?"

"Okay." Gui Ling said.

Mrs. Li was taken aback for a moment, as if she didn't expect this to be the next sentence.

But then she smiled, the kind of people who smile at everything and don't know how to react otherwise.

"Is it the small park in the north," she said, "there is a delicious barbecue over there, you can eat it when you go."

She said the name of the barbecue restaurant and introduced a particularly delicious dish.

There was a familiar aura about her, Wei An thought, maybe it was a bit like himself.She behaves perfectly decently, knows a lot of interesting things befitting her, and is a delight to talk to.Her smile never reached her eyes.

Just like the old case back then, Wei An almost killed someone, and then he went home, had dinner with his family, watched the beautiful fireworks, and many big shots came to the party.

Lying in bed in the middle of the night, he felt that the day had been extremely boring, making people want to die, just like being in a cemetery.

Wei An also smiled at Madam Li and said, "Thank you, we will go and have a look."

He felt like he was threatening, but when he said it, it was as if he was showing off—

Yes, he was showing off, he had what these guys didn't have.

Wei An turned around, and Gui Ling was next to him. With a childish attitude, he hugged the man's shoulders forcefully, and his movements were very intimate.

He said happily: "It's not dark yet, let's take a walk for a while, and then go to have a barbecue."
