Zhuang Li's deduction suddenly lifted the veil of this mysterious case, revealing the terrifying truth.
He tapped the glass bottle in the photo with his fingertips and whispered, "It's never a murderer you want to catch, but the devil in the bottle."
Devil in a bottle? This cold term made Zhou Cheng tremble in his heart uncontrollably.
"How are we going to catch these demons?" he demanded anxiously.
He couldn't imagine where the demons who ate the brains of those victims had gone now, and would they wantonly do evil in this world. Although humanoid, they are completely inhuman and difficult to spot. They are veritable killers.
"You should have a priest who specializes in dealing with demons, right? You should ask the priest this question." Zhuang Li stood up and nodded slightly: "I've already helped if I can help, Officer Zhou, can I go now?"
Zhou Cheng had no way to forcibly keep him, so he could only stand up and send people out of the house respectfully.
After returning to the fortune-telling hall, Zhuang Li said in his heart, "It's online shopping."
"What?" 7480 was stunned.
"Those dead are black magic props obtained through online shopping." Zhuang Li turned on the original owner's personal computer, logged in to the e-shopping website, and kept entering keywords with similar meanings, such as DIY, companionship, dolls, inflatable dolls, and intelligent chatbots, and then Exit the e-shopping website, use the search engine, and keep typing keywords such as curses, black magic, ghosts, summoning demons, etc.
At the same time, he said slowly in his mind: "All the victims do not know each other in reality and have no interpersonal connection, and they live in different cities, but they can obtain information about black magic and props of black magic at the same time. , these characteristics remind me of online shopping. It was logistics that delivered the deadly demon in a bottle to them, so there must be clues on the Internet.”
7480 said quickly: "Then tell the police about this clue!"
Zhuang Li raised his eyebrows and asked, "Tell the police, what am I playing?"
7480: "…"
"But your ideological awareness is getting higher and higher, as expected of the system I raised." Zhuang Li praised with a chuckle.
7480: "..." With gold on your face, you are probably the number one in the world!
Zhuang Li enthusiastically turned on the supercomputers in the space and used them to hack into the private networks of all the victims. Unsurprisingly, he found that the traces of their online shopping had been wiped out and could not be retrieved at all.
"I can't even find the information, do you think there are ghosts in it?" Zhuang Li used the search engine to check the relevant information about the love spell.
7480 really couldn't understand what he was doing, and asked: "Master, what's the use of checking these irrelevant information in a jumbled way? Shouldn't you go to the mastermind behind the scenes?"
Zhuang Li explained: "I can't find them, so I have to ask them to come to me on their own initiative. Little mental retard, do you know how to let someone with a certain purpose find you on the Internet? Or, how do we find you? A group of people with the same characteristics? Like lonely singles, devil worshippers?"
7480 thought for a moment and said, "Accurate positioning of big data?"
Zhuang Li laughed softly: "Little mentally retarded, you have become smarter. Yes, it is the precise positioning of big data. A person who is lonely, single, lonely, wants to find someone to accompany, believes in occultism, and fanatical pursuit of mysterious things, must be Will easily accept the existence of the demon in the bottle, and then have the idea of breeding one. So now I just stick these labels on myself, and the dark wizard will follow the clues to find me. "
7480 finally understood what the master was doing. He frequently searches for these keywords, which is labeling himself.
But then, 7480 became worried, "Master, will it be dangerous for you to do this?"
"Danger is fun, right?" Zhuang Li smiled happily.
7480: "..." I want to say something wrong, will you turn your face
Zhuang Li spent two consecutive days on the Internet. When he logged on to the e-shopping website on the third morning, Big Data really recommended him a shop that made handmade dolls. There was a very heartwarming photo on the home page of the shop.
In the photo, a baby the size of the belly of a finger is curled up and sleeping in a broken half eggshell. The chubby arms and legs like the lotus root and the peaceful and lovely sleeping face make people feel soft at the heart.
As soon as Zhuang Li entered the store, a dialog box popped up on the screen of his mobile phone. The store asked him to download a chat software and transfer it to the software for communication, saying that it could give him a surprise.
Then, the store owner sent him a video.
In the video, the little baby sleeping in the eggshell slowly opened his eyes and staggered out of the eggshell, staring pitifully at Zhuang Li with his big, shining water eyes. He seems to be full of curiosity about this huge world.
Zhuang Li stared at the little baby, grinned, and smiled with great interest.
And the store owner said at the right time: [Want to have him? Download my software and chat with me privately if you want.]
Zhuang Li tried to trace the store, but couldn't find any traces, so he could only download this mysterious chat software, only to find that its icon was a complex magic pattern magic circle, and this magic circle was used to summon demons.
"It's him." Zhuang Li sighed in his heart.
7480 said nervously: "Master, I suggest you call the police immediately."
Zhuang Li turned a deaf ear to this, entered the chat room, and bought a set of equipment for nurturing angel babies at a price of 2,000 yuan.
Of course, the baby angel is what the store owner said, but in fact, Zhuang Li knows better than anyone what this equipment can cultivate.
Then he used more than a dozen supercomputers to forge more than a dozen fake identities on the Internet, labeling one by one as being lonely, cold and obsessed with black magic, to lure the store owner to take the initiative to contact his fake identity and buy more to a dozen sets of equipment.
After doing all this, the big red envelope sent by Zhang Lijun's family and the original owner's bank deposit have been squandered by him.
The dozen or so addresses he made up were all fake, but when the courier called the recipient's phone number, these signals could be intercepted by 7480 and then forwarded to the owner. At that time, Zhuang Li only needs to ask the courier to drop the courier at the station, and then hire different people to pick it up.
The store owner seemed eager to kill, and sent out more than a dozen couriers within a day.
In the afternoon, Zhuang Li received calls from couriers one after another. In the evening, more than a dozen men and women of different heights, shorts, fats and thins delivered the goods to Zhuang Li.
There are so many couriers in one city, how many couriers are in all parts of the country? The shopkeeper seems to have fallen into a killing spree.
The demons in the bottle that were cultivated by the victims are now wandering the streets, continuing to kill silently? Or did it go back to the person who provided the semen
Zhuang Li doesn't know the answer yet, but he will find a way to dig out the answer.
"Master, what are you going to do with these things?" 7480 stared at the dozen or so bottles full of viscous liquid placed on the table, and asked with disgust.
"Of course it's an experiment." Zhuang Li took these bottles into space, and after carefully scanning them with a magnetic field scanner, he found that there were subtle energy fluctuations in the bottle body of each bottle, and these fluctuations converged into magnetic field lines, forming A very complex magic circle.
Human eyes cannot see this magic circle.
Zhuang Li stared at the magic circle displayed on the scanner, and compared the relevant information in the database to identify the effect of the magic circle.
Magic circles are all composed of specific symbols and lines, and these symbols and lines were born from thousands of years of historical accumulation and have their own religious meanings. Reverse Cross, Hexagram, Great Satellite, Symbol of Life, Ouroboros…
The combination of different symbols and lines is like inputting instructions to a computer. As long as each character is correct, a specific program will be started, such as reincarnation, possession, summoning of demons, and so on.
To a certain extent, the magic circle is similar to programming, and Zhuang Li is a master in this regard.
He took apart this magic circle character by character, deciphered it, combined it, and deciphered it.
"Life, origin, time, summoning..." He kept chanting the meaning of every key character in the magic circle, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.
Suddenly, he stopped dismantling, analyzing and interpreting, and quickly walked to a computer opposite, and carefully drew more than a dozen variants of the magic circle.
"Energy... If I want to shorten the cultivation time, in addition to modifying the magic pattern, I also need more energy. The blood is definitely not enough." He murmured as he walked to the warehouse, took out more than a dozen Zombie King's crystal cores, and then Came outside the laboratory and scooped a glass of water from the misty spring.
He put the blood-red zombie emperor crystal nucleus into a furnace with a temperature of more than 6,000 degrees, turned it into a liquid, mixed it with the spiritual spring water, and prepared a thick potion with a blood-red dark glow.
Then, he took out more than a dozen distillation bottles, dipped the potion with a quill made of super-strong metal, and drew more than a dozen magic circles that he had rewritten on the round bottle belly.
Seeing the scorching light in his eyes, and his busy figure, 7480 couldn't help shivering.
What is more terrifying than the dark wizard? No doubt, a mad scientist!
Just when 7480 was hesitating to persuade him, Zhuang Li instructed: "Little mental retard, help me pour half of the contents of these bottles into the still bottle." He pointed to the bottle sent by the dark wizard, and White slime stored in a bottle.
7480: "!!!"
It pointed to its nose with its chubby fingers, and its eyes were round and terrified. This space allows the existence of the energy body, so it can be embodied. Now it is standing at Zhuang Li's feet.
"It's not you, could it be me?" Zhuang Li took off his goggles and asked back with raised eyebrows.
7480 looked at the master's fair, slender, and beautiful hands, and at his own thick, short, fat hands, and finally nodded with tears in his eyes. It put on two layers of plastic gloves and covered its head with a transparent mask, and then endured the nausea, grinned and poured out half of the mucus and poured it into the retort.
"You shouldn't have blood in your body, right?" Zhuang Li pondered.
7480 immediately realized what he was thinking, and quickly shook his head into a rattle: "Master, I have no blood, I am a conscious body! Master, please spare me!"
Zhuang Li sighed regretfully, and then punctured his fingertips without any difficulty, and dropped a drop of blood into a glass bottle sent by the dark wizard and a still made by him. When he dripped the third drop of blood, his eyes flashed slightly, he immediately wrapped his fingertips with alcohol cotton, walked towards the laboratory warehouse, took out the blood of dozens of beasts from the genetic sample room, and dropped them into the glass one by one. Bottles and decanters.
After finishing the work, he put these bottles into a huge energy field and cultivated them separately with dozens of incubators.
"I adjusted the time flow rate of the magic pattern. It takes forty days to cultivate a demon in a bottle, and four minutes is enough for me." Zhuang Li sat on a soft sofa, through the monitoring installed in the energy field. device, observing these dozens of bottles.
7480 also waited nervously. Such a scene reminds of those systems that were originally used by their owners for various experiments. Their fate is too tragic, and I don't know what the fate of these demons in the bottle is.
