【Qijie】The Kingdom of Eternal Life

"Hello? Brother?"

The boy on the opposite side quickly answered the phone, and his voice sounded very happy through the radio waves.

"Well, Alluka." Kiya also softened his voice to his sister, "How are you doing?"

"It's okay, but it's boring when my brother is not at home." Yalujia sat on the bench, kicking his calves in random ways, curling his long hair with one hand: "Brother, you haven't called me for a long time .”

Facing such accusatory acting like a baby, Qi Ya could only smile helplessly: "I'm sorry...I'll take you out to play when I get home. Is Alluka good at home?"

"Who is the best brother, don't you know?"

Qi Ya smiled: "I know, I know, of course Alluka and Nanika are the best behaved."

After being coquettish enough, Alluka was finally satisfied: "Is there something wrong with my brother? Is it about my brother from last time?"

Qi Ya paused, hummed, and said, "Is it convenient for you?"

"Convenience!" Alluka jumped off the bench, ran to a room with the door half-closed, glanced inside, and then happily went in: "Second brother is not here."

Qi Ya snorted without any emotion.

"Actually, it's okay for my brother to ask my second brother for help." Ya Lujia put on the earphones, and entered a bunch of passwords cracklingly. "Although the second brother has a bad mouth, he will still help."

"That pig..." Qi Ya rolled his eyes, "Some things should not be known to anyone other than you."

Alluka blinked, and hit enter, and the screens of several connected computers changed abruptly from the standby desktop, and the constantly flashing white codes were like stardust placed on the black cloth: "Aluka and take Nica will keep it a secret."

Qi Ya lightly kissed the microphone: "So cute."

"What's the matter with that brother?" Alluka casually picked out a green apple-flavored lollipop from the pile of snacks piled aside by Miji, opened it, put it in his mouth, and asked vaguely. "Recently, I feel that my brother is not very happy. Is that brother injured again? Do you need Nanika's help?"

"For the time being... don't check him for now," Chiya didn't answer his series of questions in detail, but unexpectedly said, "I have a few other people who want you to check for me. One is Bonaye Hocht .woman."

Alluka knocked over there a few times, "Huh? She's located on your side, in the tower. And she's already dead."

"Yeah." Qi Ya replied.

"Brother, do you want those that can't be found in the tower?"

"En." Qi Ya replied again, and smiled, "Can it be done?"

Yalujia bit the lollipop into pieces and pulled up his sleeve: "Brother, don't underestimate people!" He tapped on the keyboard quickly, sucking on the candy and said, "You know what Ta has. ?”

"If you mean that she is not a native of the country, her parents are dead, she is not married so she has no husband and children, and she also has her address, how long ago she moved, when she entered the tower, and her employment records," Qi Ya responded. ,"all know."

"Oh." Alluka took down the lollipop, "Then do you know she has a younger sister?"

Qi Ya paused, "Sister?"

"That's right," Alluka put the lollipop into her mouth again, "her parents and sister should have died in the fire, but she survived, moved to the country you are in, and entered the tower. Worked until now, oh no, the other day."

"But her sister is actually not dead. I found a record about a year and a half ago that she had undergone genetic adjustment and plastic surgery in a black doctor's fair. This black doctor is not very marketable."

Kiya tapped his arm lightly with his fingers. "Then where did she go?"

"It should be that I have changed my identity. This time, the black market is very reliable, and the traces have been deleted very cleanly." Alluka scratched her long hair in distress, "I'm sorry brother, I'll spend a little more time and tell you when I find it later. You. Or do you want to bring Niga?"

"No need, you can handle it. That's right." Qi Ya said, "Can you find out her sister's original name?"

"Her name is 'Anmycus', what a strange name."

"Latin," said Chiya, "meaning 'crazy.' Does the family have a last name?"

"Yes, the last name is Blaise."

Chi Ya was taken aback.

Anmycus Blaze.Blaze?

Coincidence?

The girl Daisy's surname also happened to be Blaise.

Jay jumped over a pile of discarded fuel drums that lay crumbling and rusty all over the roof of the attic.

He bent down slightly, focused his eyes, and watched the actions of the people in the window on the opposite floor.

He tried to read their lips, but failed.Xiaojie shook his head and refocused his vision and hearing. It took some effort, but he managed it for the time being.

It may be because he is used to having a guide to help him make precise adjustments. Recently, Xiaojie found it difficult to adjust the five senses to the appropriate scale for use.However, it may also be that he hadn't been able to adjust it accurately before, and it was just a matter of makeshift, so once Qi Ya, who helped him adjust every time, moved separately from him, he became a little unaccustomed to it.

But how can you rely on Qi Ya for everything?

He squinted his eyes, combined with his sense of hearing, and read the conversations of the few people standing in the room who were talking.

"The tower...replaced...the phoenix." He repeated slowly, and quickly recorded, "destroy...transfer...as soon as possible."

When he read this, he suddenly and keenly noticed something, and quickly lowered his waist.

He heard a faint swish.It was probably the sound of the curtains being drawn.

Xiaojie counted three seconds in his heart, then slowly raised his gaze.Sure enough, the curtains had been drawn, and the sound inside the glass windows, which were already tightly seamed, was completely swallowed up. It may be that the people inside suddenly realized that the curtains were not drawn after talking for a few words, so they made amends.

He tried to maximize his hearing, but was pierced by the sound waves from the ultrasound treatment device in a nearby hospital, and quickly rubbed it twice.In this way, the sound is indeed amplified, but other noises are also amplified at the same time. The urban area is already busy, and Xiaojie tries to pick out the conversations of those people from the distractions until he feels that he is about to die in the next second. When I was deaf, I quickly turned off my hearing.

The tens of thousands of sound waves disappeared from the ears at once, which caused a particularly unaccustomed feeling, so that there was almost an auditory hallucination that was monotonous like the lingering sound of a bell.Xiaojie tapped his head lightly.

But it's not unprofitable.

"Foghorn Alley..."

"31rd."

He read a sentence lightly and frowned slightly.

Foghorn Alley?

The reason why Xiaojie appeared on this small abandoned top floor to monitor the conversations of the people in the narrow room opposite was that he finally found some clues during the busy period.

He's checking the bones.

Bone tattoos once became a morbidly popular "fashion" in the early years. Just like the one that appeared on the hand bones of the victim Bonayer, the skin was cut open to expose the bones, and various patterns were tattooed on the bones with lasers. , and then use a special technique to sew the skin together.The skin sewn up with this technique will not bleed, but it will not heal either. When needed, the flesh and blood inside can be re-exposed with a knife and displayed for others to see.Because sutures do not leave scars, only a lying and curved "S" is left on the wound, like a snake as small as a hair, so the tattoo bone is also called "painting snake".

Young-jae doesn't quite understand this fashion.Bone tattoos are not like tattoos. Most of the time you can’t see the pattern of tattoos. What’s so popular?

But this does not prevent it from being flooded in gangsters, criminal organizations and street gangsters. For a while, every time Xiaojie passed by remote streets and alleys, with his keen dynamic vision, he could see a group of second-year-old patients gathered together. Thin serpentine scars circled the back of the thighs and arms.Xiaojie has even seen tattoos on his face.

It’s just that later the police united with the tower to crack down on the black market and illegal black doctors. Xiaojie also performed several similar missions, which made the bone tattoo almost no one did it for a while, and new things became popular again. Therefore, the bone tattoo was gradually banned, and now it is basically invisible.

Bonaye's arm was probably only cut open for laser bone tattooing, but it was not sutured, and it was hit hard again, and the blood and flesh were so bloody that it looked like that. If it wasn't for Madge who put together the broken bones, a clue might really have to be broken .

According to the profiler in the tower, the basic situation of the murderer is roughly: a foreigner, between 28 and 1.7 years old, with a height between 1.7 meters and [-] meters five, an unhappy childhood, and may even have suffered from ordinary people. The pain of imagination is not the first time committing a crime or killing with passion.

This is not the first time committing a crime, that is to say, this is still an absconding criminal.

When something that is already rarely seen suddenly appears, the thinking is also very simple, just look for the place that still exists.Originally, bone tattooing was not a simple handicraft, and it was not uncommon for the laser to flash through the bone before.The fact that the murderer was able to draw a complex leaf on Bonaye's hand bone in a short period of time shows that he must have dabbled in bone tattooing, and was even familiar with it.

The murderer must have destroyed the used set of bone tattooing tools, and it is impossible to find them. You can only try your luck in the black market that still secretly provides bone tattoos.Fortunately, the tower's information retrieval is still very reliable. After searching the warehouses of several black doctors, although Xiaojie did not find any relevant evidence, he heard a phone call by accident.

When he got into the black doctor's shop, the black doctor was dozing off downstairs. He found a dead corner of the street surveillance through the side window of the roof and turned into the upstairs room.The place is cramped and dusty everywhere, Xiaojie has a sensitive sense of smell, which made him almost sneeze.It is inevitable to make noise when looking for things. Originally, he should not have come when the master is at home, but the case has dragged on for so long, and Xiaojie had an intuition that there would be some progress here, so he broke the principle and broke in when the master was at home.

It doesn't matter if it is discovered, just knock the black doctor unconscious.

But he turned carefully for a while, but still couldn't find anything.Just when Xiaojie was wondering if his intuition had been wrong, he heard the black doctor downstairs cough twice, the stairs creaked a few times, and the black doctor came upstairs stepping on the stairs.

The black doctor is on the phone with someone.He stood outside the door for a while, his voice indistinct.

"So when will the final payment be given to me?"

"Are you trying to renege on your debt?"

"That's good."

"Well, I won't hang around here after the money is given to me. Pack up and go home..."

"I know, I know."

"Ok?"

"Is anyone in my room?"

The door creaked.The black doctor opened the door and came in, vigilantly holding the scalpel.However, the square-inch room was messy, and there was flying dust in the air.He clutched the phone, walked into the room slowly, and turned around several times carefully.

After checking the closet, the sofa, and the bottom of the bed, he put the phone back to his mouth and relaxed a little: "No, where did you see someone?"

He glanced out the window: "Hello?"

All he heard was the whistling of the wind.

The black doctor asked again suspiciously: "Hello?"

When he was halfway through the feed and still had it in his mouth, he suddenly felt the whistling sound of the wind coming from the back of his head, which was close at hand, and approached as quickly as a meteorite.Without thinking about it, he swung the scalpel in his hand and stabbed it.However, the sharp blade that had dissected countless innocent people failed to make the beautiful sound of piercing into the flesh as he expected. Instead, halfway through, his wrist was abruptly grabbed and cut off.

Dang bang.

bang.

The scalpel fell to the ground, accompanied by another muffled sound of flesh hitting the ground.

The person who was on the phone with him a few seconds ago was thrown to the ground without saying a word. The black doctor was dumbfounded but grinned: "Let's go...it hurts!"

The man who cut his arms back and kicked his knees said mercilessly behind his back: "Confess. Tell the truth. How much do you know about Bonaye Hocht?"

The black doctor knew a lot, but he didn't know who the murderer of Bonaye was.According to his account, the man lying on the ground belonged to a certain criminal gang, and he often bought things from him. Most of the people in their gang came to him to deal with injuries. The cooperative relationship between the two parties was quite long-term and friendly.Only about a month ago, they contacted him and asked for a set of bone tattooing tools.

The black doctor thought it was strange at the time, bone tattoos are rarely played by people now, if you want to check, it is easy to find out that it came from him.He gave it out of face, and after that, the situation was calm, and when he gradually felt lucky, people died in the residential area. According to the inside information he heard, it was not only a homicide, but also a petal on his arm tattooed on the hand bone. plants.

He thought it was not good at the time, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was the best plan to go, but he was reluctant to part with the generous final payment.

When he explained the matter, the guy lying at his feet gradually woke up.Xiaojie didn't make a big move, and it was time to wake up after calculating the time.The man who was knocked unconscious by his tricks probably still had some concussions. He was stunned for a while before he realized his situation. After hearing a few words from the black doctor, he had no intention of refuting. poison sac.

A member of a mere criminal gang who didn't know where, who was randomly captured from it, even hid a poison sac in his teeth like Hittanita.

But he bit it for a long time, but he couldn't bite it.

Xiaojie: "If you were looking for something in your tooth, I took it out."

man:"……"

Xiaojie: "So let's be honest, you can't die by biting your tongue. Before you bite off your tongue, I can make you close your teeth again."

man:"……"

The black doctor cast him a sympathetic look.

But even so, the man didn't intend to speak, and resisted with silence.Xiaojie was not in a hurry, bent down, and asked the black doctor, "Do you know that kind of technique to extract a confession?"

Black doctor: "???"

Xiaojie: "I know you all will."

Black doctor: "..."

Xiaojie let him go.

Trembling, the black doctor found a small box from the messy room, opened it, and there were more than a dozen long and short needles arranged in an orderly manner. The needle tips were cold and sharp, faintly blue.The man probably realized how he was going to be treated, he gritted his teeth, and his face began to turn blue.

The black doctor knelt on the ground and turned the man over. Before hesitating to give the needle, he sneaked a glance at the handsome young man standing with his arms folded, but met his eyes.

It should have been a pair of very beautiful eyes, the color is clear and bright citrus, but at this moment, these eyes are looking directly at him, without waves, like a pool of frost-cold ice, and there is even a little condensation on the tip of the eyelashes. Cold hostility.I don't know if it was his illusion, maybe it was because of the gradual loss of patience, there was not even a little light in those eyes, and against the pale face, it looked extraordinarily chaotic, almost like a ghost for a moment.

"There's nothing to hesitate about being a guy who can't even be considered a human being. Do people like you still cherish your companions? You can tell how many people you have tortured with this set of things."

Xiaojie looked at him coldly.

"start."

The black doctor shivered uncontrollably, lowered his head, and silently inserted the needle into the acupuncture point of the man's neck. After a second of dead silence, he heard a hoarse scream that seemed to come from hell as expected.

"I'll send Daisy's information to your phone after I sort it out." Alluka said happily, "Is there anything else I can do for you, brother?"

Qi Ya pondered for a while, and just when Alluka thought the work was over and was about to eliminate the traces and turn off the computer, he heard Qi Ya say, "Check out another person for me."

Alluka sat back on the chair: "Well, okay, what's your name?"

"Kate," Kiya said.

He hesitated a little: "He should be the former chief of the tower."

Passed away about a year and three months ago.

Yalujia snorted, hung his hands on the keyboard and typed a few times, suddenly a little surprised: "This person's encryption is so thick."

He knocked on it for a long time before he said unwillingly: "Brother, just wait for me. After I find out, I will send you the information of that Daisy."

Qi Ya hummed without forcing: "Thank you, Alluka."

"Thank you for what you said to Yalujia!" Yalujia said coquettishly, "Brother, you are so polite with us when you have someone you like. When will brother take us to see him?"

Qi Ya smiled, "There will be a chance."

Alluka was silent for a while, and said, "You really like him."

He thought for a while before organizing his words: "My brother is in a very gentle mood now. And that kind of tenderness...is different from when he faced me and Nanika. Well, I can't speak well. Are you in love? Everyone will be like this?"

Kiya and Alluka are twins.Although Aluka is neither a sentinel nor a guide, as his twin, he can sense his emotions.But when his sister directly put this question in front of him, Qi Ya still couldn't help laughing.

But he didn't answer, just softened his voice a lot: "Brother is going to hang up."

"Yeah." Alluka put aside the phone that ended the call, raised her hand and tapped on the keyboard a few times, and was about to concentrate on checking this person named Kate, when suddenly there was a message behind her. There are no waves, no emotions, and even some inorganic voices.

"Aru."

A black shadow fell from above Alluka's head, covering the incandescent light.

"Who were you on the phone with just now?"

TBC.
