Volume 1 Parasitic Species Spread Everywhere 06.Dark Tide Surging (4)
11.3. 6:50 a.m.
Juli heard the sound outside, opened the door, and Lu Ling, who was wearing panda-style pajamas, stood at the table, holding dishes and chopsticks. When she saw Juri come out, her pretty face immediately turned red, as if she wanted to cover her pajamas that she was a little ashamed of. But the violent shaking almost spilled the soy milk in the glass bottle in her hand.
"Don't laugh. β
She was shy.
"It was lovely. β
Juli didn't smile, at least not a smile, but Lu Ling clearly saw an unconcealable smile in her eyes. She rolled her eyes, lowered her head and began to nibble on the shortbread in her hand.
"Breakfast is in the pot, go get it yourself. β
"You're up so early. β
"Aren't you too?"
"When you made breakfast, I'm afraid I hadn't woken up yet. β
"And only today. β
Juli knew that Lu Ling said that the reason for getting up early was to make breakfast for her.
"Thank you, thank you. β
She walked to the bathroom and hesitated.
"Do you have a toothbrush? β
Juri remembers the last time she was here, she used a toothbrush.
"It's been thrown away, you go to the cabinet over there to look for it, there is no tooth cup, take the water by yourself." By the way, you can wash your face with the yellow towel hanging from the shelf. β
"Why did you throw it at me, and I don't have a tooth cup yet......"
Juli muttered as she walked over to the cabinet and found a new toothbrush there.
"You don't mind using toothpaste, do you?"
"Use it. β
Lu Ling waved her hand nonchalantly.
A few minutes later, the washed orange came out of the bathroom, she brought her breakfast from the pot and sat down.
"What are you going to do today?"
Juli asked Lu Ling as usual.
"Now that you have the clues of the mother, let's destroy it as soon as possible. β
"If it goes well, we can get rid of the biggest trouble today. β
"If so, of course it's the best. β
"You seem to have something in mind. β
"I was wondering what if I didn't find out. β
"Didn't findβ"
Juli was stunned.
In fact, she often comforts herself with the best-case scenario, after all, it does take some motivation to work overtime and stay up late every day, but now, she does find that she has overlooked the possibility that "no mother was found at Northbridge today".
"To be honest, I didn't think about it, because if that were the case, I would probably have to work overtime indefinitely. β
She shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly.
"Hey, are you really a cop?"
"Am I not saying what I mean from my heart? Aren't the police human?"
"It just means that your consciousness is not high enough. β
β...... If I really don't find the mother, I'll consider finding 'that person'. β
"'That man'. β
Lu Ling repeated in a low voice, falling into a brief silence.
"If the mother body is not found in those places this time, then the probability of the existence of the person behind this matter will be greatly increased. Now it has been determined that the parasitic species originate from the same mother, and if the mother is not found here, then most of the eggs are transported here in bulk, which requires an investigation into the entry of vehicles into the town, which we have found before, and it is true that we have not found anything in this regard, or that the mother is still in the town, but 'that person' is hidden, so that we may have to play a tiresome game of Tibetan cat. However, in either case, the crux of the incident shifted from the demon itself to the 'human', and hey, I'd rather deal with the demon than the 'human'. β
Lu Ling thought about it and nodded. She got up and went back to her room to change her clothes.
"I really don't want to work overtime. β
Juli stroked the corners of her eyes as she took the last bite of the pancake in her mouth. Five minutes later, Lu Ling walked out wearing a neat blue coat.
"I spoke to the people in the autopsy department and asked them to go to the North Bridge first, which is the most likely. β
"So we'll just go straight to the Northbridge, right?"
"Hmm. β
When they walked out of the staircase, Lu Ling's mobile phone rang, it was a message from Tong Ye.
- Today, my boss gave me a holiday, I heard that you have a job, do you need my help?
Lu Ling stared at the word "heard" and raised her head to look at Ju Li with a questioning tone.
"You told him?"
Juli looked at the mobile phone handed over by Lu Ling, covered her mouth and smiled.
"I just casually asked if I was free today, but he told me that I had a holiday today, so I told him about our arrangements. β
"Eventful. β
Lu Ling pouted and said with some dissatisfaction, she walked quickly to the front, and Juli followed.
"Why are you suddenly angry?"
"Who made you troublesome?"
"How can this be called eventfulβah, I see, you must be afraid that he will be in danger again, right? β
"I just think it's useless for him to go, and it might get in the way. β
"Don't say that, my sister knows you don't mean that. β
Saying that, Juli stroked Lu Ling's ponytail with her slender fingers, Lu Ling decided not to pay attention to Juli anymore, and let herself go forward, Juli was just behind looking at her slightly stubborn back and smiling.
Beiqiao is located in the center of the town, and Lu Ling's rental house is also in that area, so they did not take transportation to get there, but chose to walk there lightly. After a while, the broken shadow of the North Bridge was in front of it, and a long cordon was blocked below. When they arrived at the North Bridge, Kiritha had been waiting outside the security booth at the gate for a while.
He looked conspicuous in a goose-yellow jacket, and when they got closer, he waved at them.
"Dress up like you're going shopping!"
Lu Ling looked a little angry and muttered, Tong Ye came over and said goodbye, but when he saw Lu Ling's somewhat angry face, he suddenly subconsciously looked at Ju Li.
"Don't worry, she's just getting angry. β
"Humph!"
Lu Ling didn't explain, and strode to the front of the cordon, where the staff opened the cordon and let her in.
"How long do you want me to wait for you?"
She Chong was still thinking about "What happened to Lu Ling," Kiritha shouted.
"Oh, here we are. Kiriha hurriedly followed. "What's your job today?"
"Find the mother, destroy it. β
"The mother is the demon that gave birth to demon eggs last time, right?"
"Hmm. β
"The Mother is here?"
"There is a high probability and, of course, there are accidents. β
"That's it. β
As they spoke, they walked towards the center of the lockdown area.
Fifteen minutes later, Lu Ling's pace slowed down, and she looked around, walking back and forth.
"Here it is. β
She turned her head and said to Kiritha.
Wind magic has a unique advantage in searching, after all, it is undoubtedly very convenient to use the ubiquitous wind to find things. Tong Ye, who hunted demons with Lu Ling, naturally knew that every time the girl hunted demons, she would do a "search" thing.
But he found that Lu Ling's actions this time were obviously much more solemn.
Tong Ye remembered that Lu Ling had said that there are two ways to use wind magic, one is a "more solemn method", the process of casting wind magic is somewhat similar to a ritual, which is very cumbersome, but in doing so, you can give full play to the performance of wind magic, but the shortcomings are difficult to obvious, so the use of wind magic is very time-consuming, and it is very clumsy and inflexible, and the other is a "casual method", that is, the method of driving wind mana by ordinary wind warlocks, so that the performance of wind magic will be greatly weakened, but the advantage is fast and convenient.
Normally, Lu Ling would use a "casual method", that is, using the wind to directly perceive information. The general process is to use wind magic to release a gust of wind in the direction that needs to be detected, and then summon the gust of wind back after a few seconds, and get a message from the feedback of the wind.
But today it was not like that at all, and Lu Lingguang took some thought to choose the position.
This is also what Kirita does not understand.
"As usual, can't you probe directly?"
"This time, the detection range is very large, and there are many obstacles, so the accuracy of the detection is not high, and it is easy to make mistakes. β
"Is that so. β
"Alright, don't talk, I'm going to start. β
Lu Ling stopped talking, and Tong Ye also remained silent.
As she closed her eyes and breathed lightly in the flowing air, her surroundings constantly converging on her with pale blue magic, and her whole body radiated an elegant dark blue light. She began to chant in a peculiar language, which sounded mysterious and distant, and gradually, some ancient and mysterious golden-blue lines were printed on her fair skin, which resembled the uniform and smooth analogy of the ancient Eastern characters, only more complex. They flicker continuously, rising out of the skin's surface like blood vessels, and are finely dense and distributed throughout the body.
Upward swirling air currents began to appear around Lu Ling's body, blowing up her long blue hair that was glowing with a dark blue sheen due to her magical power, and her body began to float.
It was the first time for Kiriba to see such a scene, and this holy aura made him a little stunned.
The flow of air becomes more and more pronounced, rotating to form a wind ring. Lu Ling stood in the center of the wind, she opened her eyes, and her originally dark eyes had been covered with a layer of dark blue glazed luster, which made the originally deep eyes look like a pair of pure cornflower-colored Kashmir sapphires.
The wind around them began to spread like ripples, round and round, like a surging tide. Kiriba felt her body being gently pushed by the wind, as if she were standing in the water.
- It's really like an ancient ritual.
Such thoughts were uncontrollable in his mind.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and the scattered wind was gathering in the girl's direction, and the restless air began to calm down, and the strange ritual was coming to an end.
Lu Ling slowly fell from the sky, and her blue eyes had changed back to their original deep black.
Mr. Juli and Mr. Huang had been standing there for a long time.
"Any clues?"
Lu Ling looked in one direction, which was the deepest part of the blockade area of the North Bridge.
"Is the Mother there?"
"I don't know, but, there's something there. β
"What kind of thing?"
"It's not clear, it's big, it's ball-shaped, it feels like it's in motion. β
These characteristics refer directly to the mother of the parasitic species.
β...... Looks like luck today. β
"Without further ado, let's get over. β
Lu Ling walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, and turned around.
"Kiriha, you follow me. β
"Good. β
Tong Ye quickened his pace and followed behind Lu Ling.
"Is there anything you want to explain?"
Juli asked, standing behind.
"Everyone is safe, although most of the dangerous characteristics of the mother as a reproductive tool have been degraded. But there may be exceptions to everything, and let's not take it lightly. β
After Lu Ling finished saying everything, she took down the "Fei Lian" from behind her, and the air flow swirled from the inside of the "black stick", shattering the black yarn outside.
Juli happened to come up at this time, and when she saw the girl's actions, perhaps to relieve her nervousness, she couldn't help but ask the girl.
"I don't understand, why the hell are you wrapping the knife? β
"Don't you think it's conspicuous to walk down the road like this?"
"Is it inconspicuous if you wrap a layer of black veil?"
"Conspicuous, but at least not treated as a controlled substance. β
"I see. β
In addition, the black gauze on the outside is made of a special material, which is conducive to covering up the atmosphere of "Fei Lian". β
"I thought the black yarn on the outside was just plain black yarn. β
"Or do you think?"
Lu Ling rolled her eyes at Juli and walked to the other side of the paulownia leaf, so that there was a distance between her and Juli "one paulownia leaf".
"Didn't you just buy this black yarn from the grocery store yesterday?"
Kiripa leaned over and asked in a whisper.
"So what?"
Lu Ling also asked in a low voice.
"Then why are you wrapped in black veil?"
"I didn't just say why. β
"Afraid of being treated as a controlled item?"
"Or else?"
"Then why do you use the wind to break the black veil on the outside every time?"
"It's a hassle to remove the gauze. β
Juli on the side came over curiously.
"What are you two muttering?"
"I'm telling Kiritha to stay safe. β
Lu Ling lied and said without blushing.
