Section 17 Two Choices

“…… Sorry, but we don't really know anything. The man across from him replied.

Li Ze nodded and crossed a record in his notebook. "If you notice something wrong, please notify the police in time. ”

After saying this almost meaningless sentence, he turned and left. Then, not surprisingly, I saw a group of professional long-tongued women and long-tongued men gathered together and discussed.

It was getting late, and all the residents in the entire suspicious area, as long as they were at home, had been questioned by him. The result was no different from what was initially expected - nothing suspicious. There are no clues to the mysterious killing that night.

In fact, if you think about it, you can guess that with the ability of that mysterious murderer, how could he make such a mistake? Whether it is a thief or a killer, he will definitely step on the plate before making a move, and understand the surrounding situation clearly. Even an idiot at least knows the surveillance camera overhead the street, right? The killer will avoid the camera - besides, it's not that difficult. Just climb over a wall from the middle position to avoid the camera perfectly.

But, as the old saying goes, even a 1 percent chance is worth 100 percent of our energy. Li Ze is the one who has to put 100% of his energy into it.

He went back to his police car and there were several families who were not at home so he couldn't ask, which meant he had to do it again tomorrow.

Strange bones popping up on a hill...... A murder case caused by a fight between underworlds...... A case that seems to be just a perverted so-called urban abuse and killing of stray cats and dogs......

He happened to be involved in three things at the same time, and some intuition told him that there seemed to be some kind of connection between them. And the reason why he had this idea was because he saw that part of the dead little animal's limbs were mummified.

Since animals can be turned into dried corpses in a short period of time, human corpses can naturally do too. So in those strange bones it looks very suspicious.

But it doesn't make sense to say that now. The strange bone incident (not the case) is over, and all the bones that were found have been cremated and handed over to the funeral home as ownerless corpses. This decision is not surprising, given that the current police force in W City really doesn't have time to care about an old case that happened at least 20 years ago (most likely before the liberation or even during the Qing Dynasty). Even if Li Ze has a heart, there is nothing he can do now.

Speaking of which, if these two things can still be vaguely connected, but this murder case has nothing to do with the other two things.

So every time he asks himself, Li Ze himself feels strange why these three things are linked. His intellect, his logic, and everything else clearly showed that there was nothing to do with each other.

Is my mind crooked, or am I ignoring a certain detail? Li Ze touched his temple, which was aching faintly. I'm really thinking too much. He said to himself in his heart. You are not the only smart person in this world, why do you think so much, just follow the steps?

Maybe it's because I'm really eager to work. He sighed and took out his phone to make a call.

“…… Well, the place of eating hasn't changed, has it? It's still there...... Well, yes, do you want me to give you a ride? Oh, okay, let's meet at that shop......"

This was a dinner he had scheduled. Well, it's normal for colleagues to go out to dinner or something together.

“…… Okay, then I'll go straight to it. By the way, how is it today, are you busy?" should have pressed the phone after speaking, but Li Ze didn't know how to ask the last sentence.

"Cough, don't talk about it, the last time the family came to report the disappearance of their son for some reason...... It's another day of fuss today. ”

"That...... His son's body was found?"

"No, his son's car was found. The car was parked in a corner on the outskirts of the city, and no one drove it for days. So they thought that since their son didn't drive, something must have happened. This time, the family also brought a group of people, all of whom were relatives of his son's fox friend and dog...... It is said that there were six people in total, and one of them went missing. ”

Hearing the number "six", Li Ze's heart jumped violently. There were exactly six of those strange bones.

"Forget it, don't complain, in fact, it's inevitable to meet this kind of person...... Hurry up and come here. ”

Li Ze started the car. What the hell was going on? His mind was in turmoil. But vaguely, he realized that the whole thing was not as simple as he thought it was. This thing may be ...... beyond the cognition of normal people.

As he drove away, he didn't notice a young man walking down the street with a strange plastic appliance on the side of the road. Of course, even if he noticed, he didn't have time to care.

The sun is over and the night is dark.

The entire city of W is brightly lit and neon flashing. The streets of the downtown area are bustling with people, people live the rich nightlife that modern society has to offer, and no one is aware that a dangerous predator has lurked in this human city.

Lu Wu sat in his room, Holoera in front of him, Amber's figure displayed in the transparent pyramid in the middle of Holoera.

They were discussing what they had just discovered today.

“…… Are you saying that the evil spirit has killed at least five people so far?" Lu Wu was still a little incredulous at Amber's words. Although the crime rate in China has increased dramatically, homicides are still very large. At the current rate of information dissemination, it is expected that it will quickly spread throughout the country.

However, the reality is that there is no such thing. If nothing else, at least there is no news on the Internet such as "mysterious murder". The government won't hide this kind of thing.

"It's been at least twenty days since the evil spirit came to Earth. Amber said. "As long as it doesn't want its body to completely dissipate and disintegrate, it will kill so many people. Seize their tissues to replace their own flesh that is gradually dissipating and corrupting. ”

"Those dead stray cats and stray dogs......" Lu Wu felt that those small animals had died enough.

"As I said, those animals are so different from humans that the evil spirits can only use a small part of them. Amber said decisively. "So it must kill people. As for why it wasn't found, I guess it must have used some method to hide the body. ”

In W City, which has a population of nearly 10 million, the discovery of several corpses is a big deal. But if a few people are missing, it won't even make a splash.

Lu Wu was silent for a while, thinking about this matter carefully. And what to do yourself.

"Is the evil spirit dangerous?" he asked suddenly.

"It's dangerous. Amber admitted. "They were created specifically to fight in the Sea of Aether, where even the strongest warlock is no match for the Devil. I was able to escape by luck. ”

"I mean, is it still dangerous when it comes to Earth? I mean...... It's powerful?"

"I don't know. Amber replied. "The Demon is made from the corpse of the First Lawman, and retains some of its abilities during his lifetime. In addition to the magic of the first and fourth laws, it must have mastered other magic...... But I'm not sure what power it has. ”

"That...... Didn't you fight it?"

"I didn't fight, and when I found it, I ran away with all my might. So I'm not sure what magic it holds. Amber said.

Lu Wu thought for a moment, then asked.

"Its body...... It should be flesh and blood, right?" Lu Wu asked a superfluous question. Because obviously, even if the evil spirit was not flesh and blood when it came to Earth, it must be now.

"Of course. However, its power certainly cannot be measured by a normal human. ”

That's useless, it's no longer the hand-to-hand combat of the cold weapon era. Lu Wu thought and asked. "And will she be able to withstand bullets?"

Amber's expression was very strange, and she couldn't seem to guess why Lu Wu asked this question.

"No, you can't. Amber replied after a moment's thought. "Is there anyone on earth who can withstand a bullet with flesh and blood?"

It must be said that the network is really convenient. Although Amber has never touched firearms and ammunition herself, countless videos and articles on the Internet have made her fully understand the power of Earth's firearms. Even by amber standards, the weapons of the humans of Earth have been technologically advanced to a fairly good level.

"Of course there are no such people. But...... This means that the evil spirit can't stop the bullet?So, can the bullet pair kill it?" Lu Wu asked again.

Although it is said that flesh and blood cannot stop bullets, bullets may not necessarily work against evil spirits. After all, it's a monster that can replace its own body with other people's flesh and blood.

"It's not a living thing, so it's not about killing or not killing. Amber said. "Lu Wu, don't think too much about it...... Aside from its magical abilities, it is no different from a normal human. As long as you can smash its body in one go...... Don't give it a chance to mend it, and the evil will be destroyed. ”

"Of course, this is my fault!" Amber suddenly perked up. "I have to be in charge of solving it, I know what to do!"

"What to do and how?"

"The demon apparently has that junkyard as its lair...... With proper preparation, I could ambush it there. Amber said confidently. "Let's test it with a way to what level of power it has...... Then, attack against its weakness. Anyway, it's just a machine with no ability to think, and I'm confident as long as it's not fighting in the Aetheric Sea beyond the Boundary Wall. ”

"That...... Lu Wu...... I need to take a break. After saying this, Amber's figure disappeared directly.

"Evil Demon......" Lu Wu lay on the bed, imagining the image of the man-eating monster (although it is not a cannibalism in the strict sense, but it is actually no different from cannibalism). It must have been a tall, withered thing that closely resembled the concept of a "ghoul" on Earth. Although Amber said that she could deal with evil spirits, Lu Wu knew that Amber was far less confident than she seemed.

Find a chance to test its strength first, and then find a suitable opportunity to ambush it...... These are words of comfort. It's very easy, but the feasibility is very low. How to test it? How to ambush it? In fact, Lu Wu also knew that Amber could not care about this matter at all-the evil spirit wanted to find Amber in this city, and the probability was no less than that of the middle five million. Even if the evil ghost kills one person every two days, for this W city with a population of tens of millions, and for this country with a population of more than a billion...... And what?

Besides, the evil spirit does not have the ability to be invulnerable.
