Lord Yan Wang's movements were very skillful when he discovered that Roucaner could be knocked away.
He spun around, kicked his leather shoes, and kicked the fleshy ear accurately into the toilet. The next moment, Zhong Chengshuo stepped on the dirty toilet lid.
The papilla had no time to react, leaving only a few soft thorns outside - they were pressed in the gap between the toilet lid and the seat, stretching and relaxing powerlessly.
Zhong Cheng said he cruelly stepped on the lid, ripped off the tape, and tied the toilet lid tightly in no time.
After making sure that the earlobe could not move, Comrade Xiao Zhong wiped his hands with satisfaction and looked at the hole that had been punctured.
A human eye slowly moved closer to the coin-sized hole. The white of the eye was bloodshot, the pupil was cloudy and dilated, without any luster. It slowly turned and looked at Zhong Cheng without emotion.
It seems that the "people" on the other side don't have that many meaty fungus in stock.
Zhong Cheng said without any hesitation, he walked quickly forward and stopped opposite the hole.
Lord Yama kept a step away. He raised his dark eyes and looked at the thing without fear. The muscles all over his body were tense, and his right hand was holding the small scissors used for cutting tape, ready to attack the hole at any time.
The distance between the two eyes is less than half a meter.
Finding out "what triggered Guo Laifu's madness" is much more interesting than "exploring the past of this scumbag".
"That's why it's so quiet in the basin. It turns out that this thing will disappear automatically." Seeing Zhong Cheng freeze, Yin Ren quickly changed the subject, "Sister Xiaohe, we roughly understand the situation. Now that things are in chaos outside, how can we make Guo Laifu return to normal?"
As they stared at each other, time seemed to stretch to an extremely long time. Zhong Chengshuo's heartbeat was extremely steady, and his breathing was not disordered at all.
Considering that there was only one scientist present, Yin Ren immediately looked at Zhong Cheng and the satisfaction on the latter's face disappeared like dew.
Considering this, it is hard to say whether Guo Laifu himself is willing to sober up.
Humanoid. Not tall, thin, like a teenager.
Anyway, he didn't hear any sound, so it was definitely not Zhong Chengshuo who screamed. Since the flesh ear had physical substance, he could only mourn for it for a few seconds.
Roucaner: “!!!”
"You need to find the source of the distortion." Lu Xiaohe seemed to have anticipated this question. "Guo Laifu brutally murdered five people and then escaped from the police for nearly half a year. This person is cold and cruel by nature, so it shouldn't be that easy for him to collapse."
Not long after, the bathroom door creaked open. Zhong Cheng walked out contentedly, carrying his small tool bag.
Unfortunately, it was still dark, so it was inconvenient for me to open the door and chase him. Zhong Cheng said, shaking his head regretfully, and took out the sample box again. He looked at the toilet lid that was making a clanging sound with satisfaction, and turned the small scissors in his hand.
"The method of hiding is very simple. Find the nearest building, close the doors and windows, and wait for the 'night' to pass. Don't deliberately provoke, and don't even think about taking samples for research - as long as the 'day' comes, those samples will dissipate."
Huang Jin considered himself a calm person, but in those few tens of seconds, he had no control over his thoughts. Before Lu Xiaohe launched the electric shock, he even had the urge to commit suicide.
"Zhong Cheng said there's definitely no problem." Yin Ren stood guarding his corner, his expression almost calm, "He might be taking samples."
Comrade Xiao Zhong slowly looked at the sample glass tube. His glass tube was empty, and the soft thorn inside was nowhere to be found. Zhong Cheng said he shook it silently, with an expression on his face as if he had lost his wallet.
"Those 'things' you just saw only move at night and only exist in the minds of the insane."
Lu Xiaohe's voice became serious.
"Human consciousness is very complex. In order to protect itself, the brain will hide huge stimuli. There must be something abnormal on this street. If we find the source of the distortion, we can determine the cause of the disease."
On Lu Xiaohe's screen, Huang Jin's emotional readings of "regret" and "doubt" remained high.
It turned out to be a treasure hunt! The Ghost King was instantly alert.
"Record it, then destroy it." Lu Xiaohe lowered his voice, "Once the stimulating memory is erased, Guo Laifu will wake up soon."
"Don't touch those things. They can cause extreme emotional disturbances. According to current research, long-term exposure may cause psychological breakdown and even induce serious mental illness. They are the biggest danger in the minds of mentally ill people."
Guo Laifu, 47, brutally murdered and dismembered five people, one of whom was his own son.
The case was clear and the evidence was sufficient. Yin Ren was not interested in this guy's experience at all. If it weren't for Zhi'an and the police watching him, he wouldn't mind crushing Guo Laifu's head.
His "excitement" index took a big dive, reaching freezing point.
The intimidation in the monster's eyes gradually changed, turning into a hint of doubt, and then into a slight fear. Under Zhong Cheng's gaze, the "person" on the opposite side slowly retreated and disappeared without a trace.
The buildings on the whole street were deformed, and they didn't have to do masonry work. At night, there were all kinds of monsters running around the street, and they couldn't be touched.
"That thing is pretty powerful," he explained to the ceiling gloomily, looking much better than before. "I didn't even notice it at first, and I felt... I felt so anxious that I couldn't think, like all the troubles in my life were stuffed into my head."
Zhong Cheng stared at the empty test tube without blinking: "I understand."
How can I save people? Should I stand in the middle of the street and express my emotions loudly to Guo Laifu
"The specific cause of these diseases is unknown, but they can affect people's emotions to a certain extent. Everyone should have seen Huang Jin's situation."
"I believe you have discovered that the alternation of day and night here is much faster than outside. The 'night' symbolizes the unstable mental state of the file owner."
The sharp scissors touched the soft thorn, and a moment later, there was a snapping sound.
The problem is that Guo Laifu is not a sleeping beauty waiting to be rescued, he is a vicious murderer. They helped him regain his sanity, not only to investigate the cause, but also to let the police execute the death penalty as soon as possible.
"So that's how it is. As long as we can avoid those monsters, this mission isn't inherently dangerous." After hearing the explanation, Zhong Cheng successfully shifted his focus away from the "painful loss of the sample" and said, "... What happens after we find the cause of the disease?"
The electric shock was like a basin of ice water, which completely woke him up and numbed him.
The short night was drawing to a close, the parade outside the window was drawing to a close, and Huang Jin had almost recovered his breath. Lu Xiaohe's voice came through the headphones, but it still sounded very far away.
It seems that the "person" opposite is not a simple background, but it is not a "living person" like them. Zhong Cheng said that his dark eyes turned, and he only had time to see the shape of the thing.
Ge Tingting, who was outside the door, immediately covered his ears: [There is something screaming in the bathroom, it's worse than the electric shock just now! ]
“That’s what I wanted to say.”
The three of them huddled around Huang Jin's bed, while Huang Jin lay on the bed like a corpse. The whole scene looked like some kind of funeral for a deceased person.
"Everyone, take a break. I'll have lunch too." Lu Xiaohe's voice became cheerful. "The schedule inside is chaotic, but it's better to have three meals regularly!"
Huang Jin took out a compressed biscuit and broke off a small piece, chewing it expressionlessly. Ge Tingting was also quick to swallow his lunch quota.
"Brother Zhong and I will go out and have a look." Yin Ren grabbed a bag of dried mangoes. "I know how to fly, so I have a wider field of vision. Maybe I can find something."
Ge Tingting nodded, Huang Jin turned his face away and waved his hands weakly.
Outside the hotel, the street was still well-lit. Apart from the more distorted streets, they could not see any signs of monsters.
Pedestrians and vehicles like blocks of color passed by from time to time, and the green trees in the flowerbed seemed to be covered by a layer of spider webs, appearing hazy. Unreadable words floated on the shop signs, and the desserts in the dessert window kept twisting and shaking at the edges.
They have a faint, sweet scent that comes and goes, but is not at all alluring.
Yin Ren stretched his waist and moved his joints. He opened the coffin nails, and as expected, all the messages sent out were accompanied by small exclamations.
It seems that this place cannot summon powerful ghosts.
Ghost masters are useless here, spirit craftsmen can't bring too many materials, and necromancers can hardly dig out corpses from people's brains. All metaphysical professions have great restrictions in this world. Even if there are enemies invading, they can only use pure magic or pure melee.
No wonder Lu Xiaohe said it is safer here.
Since he couldn't attract any powerful ghosts, the next thing he needed to do was to hold Zhong Cheng and Fei Yifei and conduct a double inspection of both the scientific and non-scientific posts.
Yin Ren looked at Zhong Cheng, who was wearing a suit, and suddenly felt that the suit was too tight, so he had no place to start. Now that he was being monitored by the conscious security, Yin Ren could not change his shape at will, and could not naturally pick up his partner.
Hug from behind? Zhong Cheng said that since she was about the same height as him, his vision would be blocked, and the posture might not be comfortable.
It would be a bit silly to carry the baby on the shoulders, but it is possible to hold him horizontally. However, Zhong Cheng said that he might not like such a restrictive posture.
How about carrying it behind you
Lord Ghost King fell into deep thought. Was this problem so difficult before
"Yin Ren, I'm ready." Zhong Cheng said.
Zhong Cheng said he got a parachute-like harness from somewhere, and the black strap was firmly fixed on his body. At the end of the strap, he even left a handle for Yin Ren. Yin Ren: “…”
Yin Ren silently picked up his partner and soared into the air.
Like two ignorant flying insects, they rushed towards the huge vortex above their heads. The twisted buildings rushed towards them at high speed, and countless debris passed by their sides. The deformed streets became smaller and smaller under their feet, winding around like the grooves of a brain. The buildings were copied and pasted, and the blocks were similar, forming a kind of irregular cycle.
All that remained in the sky were the twisted high-rise buildings that stretched out continuously like strands of hair. Yin Ren nimbly passed through the gaps between the floors, ignoring the deformed faces and deep red handprints pressed against the glass.
The sky and the earth spun, and the colors mixed into one.
Yin Ren flew faster and faster. Perhaps because of the world of consciousness, there was no wind in their ears and their breathing was unusually smooth.
It had been a long time since Yin Ren had felt this way—flying between heaven and earth, as if he had turned into the wind. The difference from before was that he still had a heavy weight in his hands, and the heartbeat of another person was so close.
Even though the scenery was so bizarre, Yin Ren couldn't help but flip a few more times in the air. His long hair was flying, and his figure broke through the cloudless sky, like an exceptionally happy bird.
An inexplicable feeling of comfort came over him.
It was as if he was born to be here.
"How is it, Zhong Cheng?" Yin Ren laughed happily under the huge vortex, "Are you enjoying it?"
Zhong Chengshuo used this opportunity to climb up Yin Ren's arms. He hooked Yin Ren's ankles and hugged the Ghost King's waist. The two of them almost hugged each other in the air. After a few seconds of entanglement, Zhong Chengshuo fell on Yin Ren's back.
Yin Ren's laughter got stuck in his throat. A large area of body temperature pressed against his back, and he almost hit the glass curtain wall in front of him.
Zhong Cheng said that the tips of his ears were slightly red, but his movements were very firm.
“Over there.”
He rested his chin on Yin Ren's shoulder, trying to ensure that their eyes were level. After holding Yin Ren tightly, Zhong Cheng stretched out a hand and pointed at the rice-sized building under his feet.
"There's a cluster of buildings there that don't overlap with any other place."
Yin Ren: “…Oh.” He tensed his body, not daring to move. The nimble flying bird instantly transformed into a human-shaped kite.
As always, Zhong Cheng said that his heart was fully focused on the mission. For some reason, the happy feeling just now disappeared without a trace, and Yin Ren felt a little disappointed.
He said nothing more and descended at a steady speed toward the direction the other party was pointing.
As a result, after landing for only a few steps, Yin Ren felt even more depressed. He turned around, shook the other person off his back, and then grabbed him.
"Hold my waist, step on my feet, and we'll stand down." Yin Ren avoided Zhong Cheng's gaze, "It's too conspicuous to lie down."
Zhong Cheng spat out the long hair that flew into his mouth and hummed muffledly.
A few minutes later, the two were suspended in the air, looking at the building below.
That is a school.
Unlike the rigid and repetitive buildings around it, the school's architectural outlines are particularly clear, making it particularly out of place.
There were still many students on the playground. They were also blurry blocks of color, but much clearer than the pedestrians on the street. At least their blurry and crooked eyes and eyebrows could be seen. The block-shaped students were running and playing on the playground. The distorted bells for classes and the bells for dismissal intersected, and the unpleasant melodies swept across the playground from time to time.
Yin Ren and Zhong Cheng said that they were actually not far from the ground, but the students on the ground did not react at all, as if they were two transparent people.
"Is the reason why Guo Laifu went crazy related to the school?"
Yin Ren pondered for a long time, but couldn't imagine how a serial killer could be driven crazy by an ordinary college.
"Guo Wei, 17 years old. The last victim was Guo Lai-fu's biological son." Zhong Cheng frowned and looked down. "Guo Wei was just a sophomore in high school when he was killed by Guo Lai-fu."
Guo Laifu himself only has a junior high school education and has never been to a proper high school in his life. The image of the high school in front of him is very clear, and it is impossible that it comes from Guo Laifu's own school experience.
"Guilt? No way." Yin Ren hissed.
If Guo Lai-fu had such a conscience, he would not have chopped his own son's body into meat paste and then hid calmly for six months.
"I don't think so. There must be other reasons."
Zhong Cheng said he didn't look at Yin Ren. His eyes were roving around the playground and the windows of the teaching building, as if he was looking for something.
"… or perhaps for some reason, his 'cause' was hidden nearby."
Yin Ren nodded and cooperated by lowering the altitude.
The two of them descended to a height of about ten meters, and Yin Ren's feet made a "bang" sound. The barrier came unexpectedly, and he almost sprained his ankle in the air. Fortunately, the ghost king was not fast, and he quickly regained his balance and prevented the tragic case of "flipping in the air with Zhong Chengshuo" in time.
"No outsiders are allowed to enter the school."
A hoarse voice said.
Yin Ren lowered his head and saw a severely deformed face.
It was an elderly security guard, his face twisted like a melted wax, his neck twisted at an incredible angle, his face facing them directly. The old man's facial features were horrible to look at, but his tone was extremely stern.
"No one is allowed to enter the school," he repeated, with only a dark, lifeless darkness in his deformed eye sockets.
Yin Ren stomped hard on the barrier under his feet. There was no trace of evil spirit or spiritual power on it. This school simply "rejected" them.
It seems impossible to force your way in.
Yin Ren and Zhong Chengshuo looked at each other, and then they flew to the gate of the university. One of them buttoned up his suit, and the other adjusted the hem of his gown. After getting dressed, they politely walked towards the gatekeeper.
The half-man-high metal folding door closed, the window of the guard room opened, and the twisted old face poked out again.
"What are you doing here?" he asked bluntly.
"Visiting the campus." Zhong Cheng said frankly.
The chubby face that looked like melting wax trembled: "Junior and high school students are not open!"
"… Hey, wait a minute. We are writing an interview with your high-ranking officials. We have informed your leaders before." Yin Ren quickly rubbed the window. The glass felt very real and made a swishing sound under his hand. "We will take the scene first today and leave soon."
"I didn't hear that." The old man glanced at the two of them and closed the window mercilessly.
Yin Ren and Zhong Cheng said: "..."
This old man really doesn't give me any wiggle room.
Through the sliding door, students in their baggy blue and white school uniforms continued to laugh and jump in the playground. Amid the hoarse and distorted ringing of bells, the sky gradually darkened.
"Now that we have a target, let's go back first." Zhong Cheng said, staring at the group of students, "It seems that this place is not impossible to enter... At present, it seems that we must have a 'reasonable enough' reason."
Yin Ren groaned.
He turned his head and looked at the strange campus behind him.
Zhong Cheng's judgment was correct and things went smoothly. In order to find out the specific situation on campus, it is better to bring Ge Tingting and Huang Jin to compare insurance.
only…
There was something indescribably strange about the atmosphere here. He could sense a vague hostility, but he couldn't tell where it came from.
Inside the teaching building, behind a window.
In the shadows, a pair of eyes stared at the two of them quietly. The whites of the eyes were bloodshot, and the pupils were cloudy and dilated, without any luster. After a while, the owner of the eyes picked up a ballpoint pen and pressed the end of the pen with his thumb.
Click.
It was like turning off the lights of the entire world. In an instant, the surroundings became completely dark.
The author has something to say:
Xiao Zhong: _(:з」∠)_
Xiao Yin: _(:з」∠)_
This is probably how it flies (×
