Brilliant red rolled in every inch of the newspaper office. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Like delicate veins, they snake along the skin of the walls, wrapping around all the space.

It ran merrily, bustling from wall to floor.

Sometimes rolling at the desk, sometimes playing on the glass window.

Jerry Wood and Zach Griffin's eyes were filled with this dazzling red, like fireworks in the red sun, which made the corners of Jerry and Zack's eyes tingle.

"What is this?"

Jerry and Zach looked at the pattern in amazement.

The twisted lines outlined the appearance of a humanoid creature, and irregular shadows filled his flesh.

Although it is only a few simple strokes, Jerry and Zach can clearly feel the pain of the characters in this painting. Just like a sin-ridden person who is suffering from a sea of swords and fire, the torture of pulling out his tongue, and being repeatedly crushed by a boulder, the pain from the depths of his soul makes Jerry's and Zack's hearts shrink fiercely.

However, the person in the painting is not alone.

The red elf is not content to live in just one place, it uses the entire space of the newspaper office as a place for its games.

Jerry and Zach walked around the huge newspaper office, carefully observing all the drawings.

Zach looked at Jerry with some hesitation, "Did you find it? ”

"They're telling a story. ”

Jerry continued Zach's words.

A story made up of bright red blood.

Jerry's mind was already involuntarily following the image he had just seen, as if a demon was whispering in his ear, telling secrets.

But in the hearts of lowly mortals lies terrible demons.

Sin multiplies in the heart.

With his own hands, the warrior took out the heart of sin from the demon's body and saved the common people.

Jerry's heart was filled with a sense of absurdity.

It turns out that in the eyes of this "heart snatcher", Daniel and others are people who are possessed by demons, and their existence is a huge danger to this world, so the "heart snatcher" is like a warrior who fights with the evil dragon to save the beautiful princess of 'all beings in the world'... What a fucking messianic plot!

Jerry follows this story chain to the end, which is at Jacob Stanford's desk.

On the table are two hearts.

I don't know if it's the natural color of the heart after it leaves the body for a day, or if it's the intentional color of the "heart snatcher", both hearts take on a pure black color. There is no reflected light from fluorescent lamps shining on the muscles, only silence.

Jerry stared at the two black hearts on Jacob's desk, motionless, as if his entire soul had been sucked away by the blackness that was purer than the night.

(This must be the heart of Hywell Wellington and George Allerton.) ）

Jerry speculated to himself.

(But why didn't you use a glass jar filled with formalin this time?)

That's right, what Jerry had in front of him was not a glass jar with hearts, but two unconcealed hearts, which were placed on the desk in a daze.

(The "Heartsnatcher" must have done this for a reason...) What is he trying to show?)

Jerry frowned.

At the front of the desk is a letter, the white envelope that stands out in a world conquered by red.

Jerry took two steps forward and stopped suddenly.

His eyes were like balloons, growing from a small object to a large one. Jerry's face was full of shock.

The angels have fallen.

The heart is the center of both wings.

The lines that were originally a little messy in Jerry's eyes are now magically an indispensable part of this "angelic depravity", like antelope hanging horns, without a trace.

Demonic black.

The red of betrayal.

The only thing that remains is a bit of white.

The fate of this scene can only be seen in this one location.

Jerry only felt his senses hit him in waves, like a never-ending wave that was about to drown him.

"Jerry!"

Jerry suddenly heard Zach's voice.

He looked in the direction where the voice was coming from, and Zach was looking at him worriedly.

"Are you okay? I called you a lot just now, and you didn't answer me... Zach asked.

Jerry took a deep breath and said, "I'm fine, I'm just thinking about something... How's it going over there?"

Zach shook his head in disappointment.

It looks like there's no clue on the monitor's side.

Jerry tells Zach and the CSI crew about his discovery, and they get them to take a picture of the "fallen angels".

Jerry opened the envelope.

"Dear editors, this is the 'heart snatcher' speaking. I am very dissatisfied with your professional ethics. In this age of the Internet, I have waited for you for a day, and I have not found any of your letters to you in any of your publications, whether they are physical publications or online magazines. To remind you once again of my seriousness, I present to you the hearts of Hywell Wellington and George Allerton, and I hope to see your responses this afternoon. ”

This time the letter was very brief and there was no password.

There was a slight chill in Jerry's heart.

When the Zodiac Killer asked the San Francisco Chronicle to publish the cipher in his letter on the front page, the San Francisco Chronicle published a third of the cipher in the letter on page four of its newspaper the next day. At the end of the article, Vallejo Police Chief Jack Stillz is quoted as saying: "We are not yet convinced that this letter was written by the murderer. and asked the sender to write a second letter to provide more facts to prove his identity. The promise to kill was not carried out, and all three parts of the codetext were eventually published.

So when Editor-in-Chief Eric was about to publish on the website yesterday, Jerry stopped him. Jerry asked Editor-in-Chief Eric to publish the "Heart Snatcher" letter today, as he needed half a day for the SFPD to fully investigate. Maybe they were lucky by Lady Luck and found a clue to capture the "Heart Snatcher"? There is no need to cause panic among the public~ Although Jerry knows that this is a super small probability event, he has no dreams, what is the difference between it and salted fish...

Editor-in-chief Eric also felt that there was a precedent for the zodiac killer, so he agreed to Jerry's request.

Who knew that the "heart snatcher" did not play according to the routine. What about paying tribute to the old-timers?!

Jerry seemed to feel the heavy gaze of Editor-in-Chief Eric behind him.

He knew that "Heart Snatcher" would make the headlines of CNN's San Francisco section as quickly as possible.

Fear will once again envelop the city.
