A night away from the city.
Light yellow street lamps and lighthouses make the city seem to be covered with a layer of noble and elegant veil, setting off the magnificence and variety of the whole body...
Central City West Street belongs to the residential area of Central City. Although it is one street, it is very long, and there are as many residents as trees on both sides.
At night, this block looks a bit deserted and mesmerizing, it feels like walking into a town surrounded by mountains and fields, and when flying in the air, you can even feel a faint shroud of night fog.
"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, hehe, don't let me catch it..." Dongqing smiled coldly, and slowly sank a little while driving Ya Yuqin.
Chu Mu and Dongqing rode together on a bird of feathers. Although the Thunder Dream Beast of the Night could step into the air at night, it still couldn't soar freely in the air like a winged soul pet.
"The captain is here..."
"team leader!"
"team leader!"
…
At the alley, several soul pet masters riding mounts formed a circle, and at the same time blocked the entire residential alley to prevent others from approaching.
Chu Mu and Dongqing jumped off Ya Yuqin's back, and landed steadily in front of the five city guards.
Dongqing strode to the bloody place, staring at the gnawed corpses, her face became a bit serious.
Chu Mu also glanced at these corpses, his eyes changed slightly.
In front of Chu Mu were the corpses of two people and three soul pets. Since the corpses of the soul pets had been gnawed to the point that there were not even a few bones left, it was difficult to judge what was going on based on the stumps alone. What kind of soul pet.
The two people were simply killed, one was disembowelled, the other half of the head was cut off, and there was no sign of blood in other parts. Obviously, the murderer was not very interested in human flesh.
"Captain, it's the sixth event. The news has been blocked, but it's hard to control the mouths of the surrounding residents. There are already some small waves spreading in some places, making them panic." A young guard said. Said.
"Do you think it's man-made or some wild soul pets with strange movements have infiltrated into the city and committed crimes in the city?" Dongqing asked.
The city is surrounded by high walls, and it is not very likely that wild soul pets will enter the city, but there are several situations.
For example, some high-spirited hidden soul pets may escape the guards of the city and enter the city. They usually hibernate in places where few people go, and come out late at night to attack some soul pet masters and soul pets.
There are also some families or forces whose captive soul pets escaped due to negligence. This possibility is relatively high. Because the escaped soul pet cannot go out of the city, it hides in some places, and attacks people and soul pets in the middle of the night for food...
"Their interspatial rings are still there. If it is artificial, they will usually take away the interspatial rings. It may also be that the person simply doesn't care about the property of these soul pet masters, and uses other people's soul pets to feed their own soul pets." A The guard analyzed.
"Any other clues?"
"No, the murderer is very cunning."
"Then let's stay up late tonight and patrol, we must solve this matter as soon as possible."
"yes!"
…
"Brother Chuchen, it seems that this neighborhood is not very safe. If your two friends don't have the ability to protect themselves, I suggest that they not stay here for a long time. Alas, you have seen such a bad side when you come to Licheng from far away. It's really..." Dongqing was still polite to Chu Mu.
"My two friends are no worse than me. Self-protection is not a problem. I should be here soon. If there are any clues, I will let you know." Chu Mu said.
"This is the best way. If you have any clues, go directly to a city guard and let him notify me. I will rush over immediately." Dongqing said.
Chu Mu nodded, and didn't stay here any longer, following the direction Dongqing pointed, he walked towards the elixir store where the brothers and sisters of the Ye family were.
The elixir shop that Ye Qingzi rented was not in the most prosperous location, which made Chu Mu wonder why she chose this area on purpose. After all, this is a residential area, and the business is not very developed...
The murder case was not far from the elixir shop that Ye Qingzi rented, so Chu Mu didn't waste his soul power to summon the Night Thunder Dream Beast, but walked on this somewhat deserted street.
The one that Chu Mu took was a shortcut, not the main street of West Street. Perhaps the terrible things had spread recently, and some of the more remote alleys and side streets were closed, and few pedestrians could be seen at all.
"Whoosh~!"
Two unusual wind sounds passed by the alley behind Chu Mu quickly. Chu Mu's perception ability was very keen, and he turned his head almost the moment the wind picked up.
The black figure flew away, and Chu Mu released his soul thoughts, locking onto the two shadows that flashed past quickly.
Just when Chu Mu's soul thought was about to completely control the movement of these two creatures, these two things suddenly jumped out of the perception range of Chu Mu's soul thought and fled far away.
Chu Mu's heart sank. These two creatures obviously wanted to get close to him just now, but they immediately jumped out of his perception range after feeling that his soul thoughts were locked. Strong perception ability, able to detect the lock of others.
Realizing that these two things were not good things, Chu Mu slowly recited a spell, summoning his beloved Night Thunder Dream Beast in front of him at night.
"Oh~!"
Night Thunder Dream Beast's perception ability at night was stronger than Chu Mu's. After its demon spirit perception was released, its black eyes penetrated the darkness and locked onto a deep alley next to Chu Mu.
"Oh~!"
The Night Thunder Dream Beast didn't wait for Chu Mu to issue an order, but let out a long hiss directly, brewing a black death light in its mouth, and sprayed it directly towards the long alley!
The black energy body flew straight across the alley, and when it reached halfway, it suddenly exploded in the air!
"Boom~!"
The death light blasted away, and the walls of the houses on both sides immediately showed signs of being smashed, and a powerful air flow swept out along the alley!
Chu Mu didn't notice the strangeness in the alley just now, but when the energy exploded, he suddenly discovered that a creature hidden in the shadow was blown out.
"Night attacking creatures can be invisible and hide their breath at night, young master must be careful." Old Li said.
Chu Mu's heart also tightened, he never expected to meet such a terrifying creature in the city!
Invisibility at night is one of the strangest abilities among soul pets. Most soul pets with this ability are very terrifying, and can kill defenseless people and soul pets without anyone noticing.
"Hiss~!"
There was a low cry from the invisible creature in the alley. It seemed to realize that it had been seen through. After getting up from the ground, it directly pressed against the wall of the alley, as if it had merged into the wall, and disappeared directly into the alley. In Chu Mu's field of vision.
Not long after, some small voices appeared in the alley. When Chu Mu looked over, he found that it was the disturbed behavior of the residents near the alley when they noticed something strange and were frightened.
"Noisy... What's the noise... You still don't rest at night... Could it be... Could it be..." At this time, a middle-aged man staggered towards the end of the alley.
The middle-aged man's face was full of wine red, and he was holding a bag of wine in his hand. While swearing, he poured the wine down his throat.
With one step and three shakes, the alcoholic was so drunk that he finally leaned against the wall and fell asleep directly.
"Get out of there!" Chu Mu yelled loudly, reminding the alcoholic who didn't realize the danger at all.
However, as soon as Chu Mu finished speaking, a shadow of a claw slowly appeared in the wall of the alley, and very slowly passed over the alcoholic's head.
"Shua!"
Brain and blood splashed out and stuck to the wall disgustingly!
The alcoholic was still in a state of intoxication, his head was cut off, and after a few convulsions, he completely lost his life.
Chu Mu's heart sank. The speed of the claw was obviously very slow just now, but Chu Mu couldn't see what that soul pet was at all. If he hadn't locked the soul mind there, he wouldn't even be able to see clearly how the alcoholic died. .
"Old Li, what exactly is that?" Chu Mu's face became a bit serious. For some reason, Chu Mu felt that there were many strange auras in the alleys and alleys extending in all directions, and there were also many chilling eyes staring at him.
"I don't know, I suggest that the young master should leave here as soon as possible, those things are probably gathered in this area." Old Li said.
Chu Mu nodded, and jumped onto the back of the Night Thunder Dream Beast, causing the Night Thunder Dream Beast to cast its extreme shadow and run towards another small street.
There was a very strong smell towards the street where Ye Qingzi was located, and Chu Mu realized that he must not go there, so he could only choose another road, which was considered to be the opposite, and he asked the strange monster first...
"Oh~!"
The Night Thunder Dream Beast suddenly accelerated and ran towards a direction where there was no danger of staring.
Turning a corner, there was indeed an even more empty night street before Chu Mu's eyes. The pale moonlight shone on this bluestone path, making it look a bit quiet and empty...
However, the black shadows moving from time to time at that time added a bit of horror and spooky feeling to the city!
"Hiss~!"
The sound like a poisonous snake sticking out its tongue came from both sides. When Chu Mu walked through this path, he suddenly found that there were more and more black shadows moving around the surrounding houses, walls, and shops. These things followed the night like shadows. Behind the Thunder Dream Beast, the sharp and terrifying claws shone coldly in the moonlight!
"We're being targeted!"
Chu Mu's heart sank, he never thought that he would become the target of Li City's murderer so soon!
