Chapter 248: Bloodthirsty Flowers
On the way back, Gu Yue received a call from Zhuo Ling. It is said that strange fluorescent flowers were found in one place, with slender petals, half of which are white and the other half red, with no leaves and no substance, which is invisible to ordinary people.
Gu Yue was shocked when he heard this, and the first thing that came to mind was the flower on the other side, and the flower tattooed on the back of the man's hand that Hu Haoran said was half white and half red.
Gu Yue pondered for a while, and asked Zhao Xiaojun to continue to send Wu Jingke to the Special Operations Department, while he asked the police to turn the car around and go to Zhuo Ling's place.
When they arrived at their destination, the recruit brought by Zhuo Ling was waiting for them at the mouth of the alley.
This is a relatively narrow alley, less than one meter two wide, and two people walking side by side will feel panicked. It's still in the middle of nowhere, with old houses nearby, and the whole alley smells like rotting dirt.
It's very dimly lit, the buildings on both sides are high, and I don't know where the wall is. As Gu Yue walked forward, he even saw a rat speeding past his feet and burrowing into a hole in the corner.
After taking a few steps forward, Gu Yue noticed that a wooden door appeared on the wall on the left. The wooden door is so small that it is estimated that only one person can enter or leave. Gu Yue went up and pushed it, and the wooden door that looked dilapidated didn't move at all, it should have been nailed inside.
He picked up the flashlight and irradiated it around, the color of the wooden door was different, but the dark red spots on it were still eye-catching under the light of the flashlight.
Gu Yue frowned slightly, and the flashlight shone around, and found that not only were there blood stains on the wooden door, but there were also traces of blood spraying on the wall and the stone road of the alley on one side, and judging by the degree of condensation, it should have happened recently.
Who is fighting or assassinating in this unattended alley?
Gu Yue came to Zhuo Ling's side with the question in his heart.
The latter was crouching to the side, carefully looking at what was in front of him. It was a half-meter-tall flower, blooming proudly in the corner of the wall, there was no wind in the alley, but the slender two-color petals were swaying slightly, glowing with a hint of fluorescence, which looked particularly unreal.
"This flower is so weird. Zhuo Ling saw Gu Yue and stood up to get out of the way, "Even if it is the legendary flower on the other side, there is no such thing as a mixture of two colors, right?"
Gu Yue didn't say anything, squatted down, and reached out to touch it. The result, of course, is that the hand crosses the flower and hits the wall behind the flower.
"Insects, butterflies, flowers on the other side......" Gu Yue looked at the police officer behind him, "Officer Zhang, is there a cutting machine?"
"Give me a few minutes, I'll take care of it. Officer Zhang patted his chest and ran out of the alley.
"Do you think that the sudden appearance of the other side flower has something to do with that woman's bug?" Zhuo Ling leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, always feeling that this case was becoming more and more unbelievable.
"There was a butterfly just now that took us to a place and found Wu Jingke. Gu Yue glanced up at him.
"Is there such a thing?" Zhuo Ling was startled, then he touched his chin and frowned, "This seems to be a little wrong." At first, I thought it was the woman who hid Wu Jingke, not wanting us to find out about her past from him. ”
"That's what I thought, too. Gu Yue nodded, "But this bug and the butterfly that appeared behind it are obviously related to this woman." And she asked the butterfly to take us to rescue Wu Jingke, that is to say, it was actually those dark piles that kidnapped Wu Jingke. ”
"What is the purpose of kidnapping Wu Jingke from the secret pile?" Zhuo Ling was puzzled, "His value can only be known about that woman's past." ”
"Two possibilities, one is to kidnap Wu Jingke, and then set a trap for us to go and save him. Gu Yue stretched out two fingers, "Another possibility, he is that woman's crush and uses him as a bargaining chip for the Imperial Capital Court to negotiate with that woman." ”
"If it's the second case, the Imperial Capital Courtyard is crazy, it's playing with fire!" Zhuo Ling took a deep breath.
Getting fat, the corpses of dolls, and the current series of strange events, if all of them are controlled by that mysterious woman, then her difficulty is completely beyond their imagination.
Such a person, the Imperial Capital Court actually wants to negotiate or cooperate with her, is it too confident or too stupid.
"I don't know about the other academies, but I'm sure that there is indeed a madman in the Imperial Capital Academy. Gu Yue said with a fixed gaze and looked at Zhuo Ling, "This is a madman who can do whatever it takes to achieve the goal, and is reckless about the consequences." ”
Zhuo Ling was slightly stunned, and then reacted.
Starting from the puppet corpse, their Suzaku class has begun to have frequent contact with the Imperial Capital Temple. Among them, Ren Lixian's school is mainly tempting.
At the same time, there has always been a pillar of life and death of the academy sect, which is interfering with the mission of their Suzaku class, and even directly sent a secret stake to assassinate them in the end.
The people of this academy are ruthless, as Gu Yue said, reckless. Zhuo Ling now thought about it, and gradually understood another point.
"The last time you said that the puppet sewing master was in collusion with the people of the Imperial Capital Academy, it seems that you should be that madman. After figuring it out, Zhuo Ling suddenly felt a kind of fear, frightened by the madness and conspiracy of that madman, "The puppet sewing master targeted the recruits of our Suzaku class, maybe it wasn't the woman who instigated it, but this madman. ”
"He knew that the teacher had left Suzaku Province, so he wanted the puppet sewing master to cause trouble for us, so as to achieve the goal of disintegrating our Suzaku class. It was even possible to wreak havoc on the four of us while we were on the job of a puppet sewer. ”
Once the four of them were seriously injured, the entire Suzaku class would be over.
Gu Yue nodded, he also thought of this on the way here just now, but he couldn't be sure what the truth was.
The puppet sewing man is dead, and the puppet incident may have been instigated by the madman, or instigated by the woman, or both parties were involved.
However, from Wu Jingke's kidnapping incident, it can be learned that this madman and that woman have not reached a consensus at least. Otherwise, with the lethality of these two people, some of their special operations departments would have a headache.
Gu Yue and Zhuo Ling were silent, and the two recruits they each brought with them didn't dare to disturb them quietly.
Now the dark stakes have almost been cleared, but the appearance of butterflies and flowers on the other side makes them feel that the matter is not over yet.
I don't know how long it took, but Officer Zhang came back with a small cutter and a long wire behind him.
"Little sir, you probably won't use this thing, why don't you draw a range and I'll cut it?" said Officer Zhang and handed a marker to Gu Yue.
Although he couldn't see the flowers on the other side, he thought that the cutter was used to cut things. Zhao Xiaojun has a very good set of management subordinates, these police officers should not ask and never ask, just cooperate with Gu Yue and a few people to carry out tasks, and provide help when the special operations department needs it.
"Okay. Gu Yue took the marker, his eyes fell on the fluorescent flower, and after visually measuring the general range, he drew a square around it.
Seeing this, Officer Zhang turned on the switch of the cutting machine, followed the white line drawn by Gu Yue, and began to cut. Fortunately, when Gu Yue lifted the square earth and stone, the flowers on it also moved.
"Tick tock!"
"What sound?" Gu Yue and Zhuo Ling looked at each other.
"Instructor, this flower, it'...... It's dripping blood!" exclaimed the recruit girl.
Zhuo Ling and the others immediately set their eyes on the flowers on the other side, only to see the dazzling reverse petals on the left half of the red, in the fluorescence, there seemed to be something faintly flowing.
"Tick!" There was another sound, Zhuo Ling shone the flashlight on the ground, and a few drops of scarlet blood dripped on the stone slab, giving people a shocking visual impact.
Gu Yue's fingers that touched Tushi suddenly became sticky, and then he only felt a pain in his hand, as if something had penetrated his fingers and sucked his blood.
He hurriedly put the piece of earth and stone on the ground, and opened his palm to see that his hands were full of blood.
"Is that your blood?" Zhuo Ling grabbed Gu Yue's hand, frowned, and didn't care about the mess, and directly wiped the blood from Gu Yue's palm with his own uniform sleeve.
"It should ...... No. Gu Yue pursed his lips, and there were no scars on his fingers. But he seemed to have experienced that feeling just now.
"Fluid!" Gu Yue remembered the dirty fluid in the puppet sewing master incident, and the feeling just now was similar to the feeling of the tentacle at the end of the black line of the puppet burrowing into his arm to suck blood.
"Zhuo Ling, when I pick up this other side flower, you will focus on the soil and rocks. Look at its roots hidden beneath the dirt and rocks, and see if there are tentacles like those in the black lines of the puppet. ”
Zhuo Ling was slightly stunned, and immediately came to his senses, nodded and said, "Understood!"
Gu Yue took a deep breath and carefully lifted the flower again. Zhuo Ling half-squatted down, holding a flashlight under the soil and stones.
The slab, along with the dirt underneath, is a dark red. Zhuo Ling waited for a while, but didn't see any movement from the other side of the flower. He glanced at Gu Yue, took a step ahead of him, and reached under the dark red earth and stone.
It was at this moment that the mutation took place, and the red dirt that had stuck to the stone slabs began to rise up, as if something was about to break through the ground.
The two recruits' eyes widened, staring at each other with a fixed fixation.
I saw a strange blue fluorescent root teeril sticking out of the dirt, and the spirit snake probed into Zhuo Ling's middle finger like a snake, and then plunged into it.
Zhuo Ling's middle finger spasmed slightly, his expression unchanged, staring at the strange root tendril.
Gu Yue saw the expressions of the three of them, and knew that Zhuo Ling was messing around again, so he had to hold up the earth and rocks and turn his head sideways to observe with them.
Soon, the weird root that connected to the end of Zhuo Ling's middle finger began to turn scarlet, like a blood vessel in a hospital, pumping blood to the other side of the flower.
With the replenishment of blood, the red petals shook more cheerfully.
"Quickly retreat!" Gu Yue's expression changed, and Zhuo Ling immediately withdrew his hand. The two glanced at each other, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
Gu Yue put down the flower again, and the flashlight shone into the original pit, and found that the soil there was all dark red.
He took a look around the alley he had come from, and said in a deep voice: "This alley is uneven, it is obviously low here, there are a lot of blood stains on the wooden door just now, this may be the place where the hidden pile was killed." Their blood has gathered here through the direction of the terrain, so this blood-sucking flower has grown?"
