Chapter 20 and 21 Merge Chapters The Light of Shadows
The orange-red flame shone on the shadow of the cave and swayed deeply, and the filth that had been vomited by Zhang Liang before moved slightly in the firelight, a small loach sticking to gastric juice and a river shrimp that was stiffening but making a final struggle. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info they were put alive in Zhang Liang's stomach before, but now they are about to die.
In the cave, there are many lights and shadows, and the voice of a child is faintly coming, and the soft murmur and the woman's singing are singing sadly in the dark night.
There seems to be someone in the distance who is doing hide, and there is an innocent and beautiful voice that shouts crisply between sleep and awakening:
"Come and get me."
"Come and get me......"
The laughter of silver bells swayed in the air as beads, and the deep and shallow shouts and mysteries rippled in the dark night.
It was a dark and beautiful night......
Because of this, the Wang family's family and the superintendent of Shazhen did not sleep all night, and something called panic quietly precipitated throughout the night.
In fact, for ordinary residents of Shazhen, encountering a robber with a knife on the way home can make the adrenal glands secrete wildly, and it is enough to do the most dangerous and exciting things in their lives. Not to mention encountering the unjustifiable supernatural phenomenon in the wilderness.
When the night was thick, the early autumn evening breeze smeared a faint gloomy tone like thick ink, and the innocent slapping of children and the voice of women could be heard in the distance, which was even more eerie and eerie in the deserted wilderness.
Under the pressure of the terrifying unknown, the next day, as expected, some people proposed to return to Shazhen, as ordinary people, they did not have the fearless courage and courage performed by the characters in TV or novels, and retreated in the face of difficulties, or they were as timid as a mouse is the truest portrayal of ordinary people's lives.
The leader who took the lead in saying this was a captain surnamed Liu of the Criminal Affairs Department, who heard that he was related to a certain official in the county, so his style was quite tough on weekdays, and he faintly formed the second largest force group in the Criminal Administration Department in addition to Superintendent Zhang.
With Captain Liu's first statement, some people then chimed in, and a split ensued.
Superintendent Zhang is known for his quick wit, and he can be regarded as a source of left and right in Shazhen, with a head and a face. But haste often means 'cleverness', and cleverness is associated with a lack of courage. In addition, Superintendent Zhang's style is not particularly upright, and he always lacks confidence in terms of credibility and majesty.
Therefore, when Captain Liu made a strong request for retreat, even though Superintendent Zhang made it clear that he wanted to stay and investigate the case thoroughly, there were still people who responded to Captain Liu's request, and this matter soon evolved into the retreat camp represented by Captain Liu and the left-behind camp represented by Superintendent Zhang and the Wang family.
The camp didn't 'confront' for long, and Captain Liu returned along the same path with his small group. This small group was originally brought out by Captain Liu, and in the Criminal Affairs Department, it belongs to the backbone of the second group headed by Captain Liu.
Time continued to circulate with the caries and strife in Shazhen, and in the small world of Shazhen, two groups of people the size of ants gradually drifted apart in the endless wilderness.
……
……
The sky is gloomy, and the autumn in the south of Mobei is rainy and wet, which always reminds people of the delicate and soft girls who grew up with them in those years.
After waiting for a noon at the entrance of the cave where Liang Guo disappeared, Wang Mian, Superintendent Zhang and others had breakfast, and surrounded the entire mountain for a week.
Compared with the night, the cave in the day is obviously much gentler and normal, and the crying, laughing, laughing, and creepy voices of men and women at night have dissipated like smoke when the sun rises.
Everyone still didn't make up their minds, in fact, Wang Mian and Wang Tuntun, who were almost wiped out by the Liang State, advocated going into the cave to arrest the murderer, but at this time, Superintendent Zhang, who was cautious and timid, twisted again, he probably thought that he had paid a lot, and it should be the turn of the Wang family to express his sincerity. In fact, this kind of bridge is the real human nature in reality, there is no protagonist in the real world, and there are even few friends who are single-minded and do things for so-and-so without asking for anything in return, everyone is drawing circles around themselves.
On the other hand, in an unknown stone room lit by fire, a small figure shuttles through a golden splendour. He wears a cream-colored shirt and dark black trousers, a well-fashioned blooming square scarf on his chest, and a white chef's hat on top of his head. Because of his short and fat nature, the figure of a serious cook looks cute and cute.
Flipping through the heavy recipe, the round-headed chef looked sad, as if he was struggling with what kind of meal to make. After a while, the big-headed chef was heartbroken, and with a resolute expression, he closed his eyes and clicked on the recipe full of names, then cautiously opened his eyes and quietly stretched his head.
"Oh, amazing!" The chef marveled at the contents of the recipe, and his expression was touched by indescribable adoration, and he almost burst into tears. The recipe was written by the round-headed chef himself, but every time he opened the aftertaste, the chef couldn't help but be impressed by his ingenious food combinations.
Griffith pulled out an iron-clad kitchen knife and gently sliced a red tomato, the narrow shadow of the knife dancing slowly in the light. He calmly and elegantly stacked the thinly sliced tomatoes together, put them on a silver platter, and then pulled out a pure white square from his chest and wiped his hands leisurely.
Looking at the dishes and fruits piled up on the table, he finally smiled with satisfaction.
The stone chamber or hall where Griffith is located is the interior of the cave that Liang Guo has drilled into, and there was no cave here, but now there is.
In a sense, at this time, this area, this cave, was part of the Left Bank, the place where Griffith was born and fell.
As a creature born of cause and effect, and the creature most bound by cause and effect, one of Griffith's many identities is the executor of cause and effect.
With the power of the contract, Griffith, who is the executor of causality, can extract the same amount of causal power as the contract to continue to perform the contract and enforce the punishment for the violator stipulated in the contract at the moment when Liang breaks the contract.
So Griffith temporarily polluted the area, and he pulled the Left Bank from the void to the present world, and came down. However, unfortunately, with the help of the power of the contract, in addition to the calm elegance of the left bank, there is also the evil that the great demon Griffith has nowhere to place thousands of years ago.
And while he was thinking about this, there was a cacophony of cries and screams from outside the stone chamber, and Griffith frowned, humans are really a noisy species.
When his nails were wiped crystal clear by the square towel, the noise did not stop, and he faintly heard someone crying and begging for mercy, and the sound passed through the liquid-filled nasal cavity like hot and moist sticky glutinous rice.
Griffith, dressed in white and black trousers, listened, his slightly wrinkled forehead like a delicate handiwork, reminiscent of words like 'nobility' and 'elegance'.
Raising the arch of his foot, Griffith bent slightly and stretched out half of his body from the corner of the stone wall, a gesture that was playful and quiet in the petite and lovely little fat pile of Giaman. Turning the bent mountain wall, the big demon with a round head saw the man who had been calling for a long time since he started cooking.
It was a middle-aged man, with slightly dark skin with a touch of healthy yellow, and his body was covered with army green camouflage clothes, and he was a member of the Criminal Justice Department.
This person's name is Liu Qiang, and he is Captain Liu who parted ways with Superintendent Zhang a day ago, if Superintendent Zhang is still here, he will definitely wonder how Captain Liu, who has obviously returned to Shazhen, could go all the way to such a place.
Today's Captain Liu is no longer the second-in-command of Shazhen, and in just two hours after being separated from Superintendent Zhang, his entire mental appearance has undergone earth-shaking changes.
This change can be summed up as horror or numbness, and Liang Guo, who looked wooden, stood on the side and held a small scimitar with blood on Captain Liu's body, which was tied to the solid wood seat. The man's movements were precise and mechanical, and after a few strokes, he picked up the small handfuls of red and white meat crumbs piled up on the ground......
This process is bound to be meticulous and painful, like Ling Chi. The tortured person felt the life that gradually left him, imagining the desperate end that awaited him in the near future.
The man named Liang Guo actually didn't know how to use medicine, but not long ago, he was instilled with some unheard of techniques and knowledge, so when he used the knife on Captain Liu, Liang Guo completely avoided the vital point, and even a small part of the blood was left.
The pungent smell of blood and the shouting for two hours, still full of energy, hit Griffith's nose and ears respectively, the captain of the torture department must have been so frightened that he couldn't even notice Griffith's approach.
Compared with the physical injury, in fact, what is really frightening is the despair and suffocating extension that the injury can ultimately bring to people, in fact, the extension is being placed in front of Captain Liu, as if a portrayal of his future, which makes him worse than death, almost crazy.
Griffith turned to look at Captain Liu's line of sight, and when he turned around, he saw a humanoid object hanging like felt on the wall, and when Griffith fixed his eyes on the 'thing', the 'felt' trembled strangely, and slowly raised his eyes, it turned out to be a living thing.
The 'felts' were stripped of the skin and flesh on their backs, and most of the bones were removed from their bodies. Their bodies were spread and flattened like dough, and then hung upside down in the air by a group of large, spider-like monsters, as if they were being treated with dried and air-dried bacon.
Soon after, Captain Liu spotted Griffith standing aside.
He knew this person, and Liu Qiang would not forget it until his eyes were cut off from his body.
In the matter of arresting Liang Guo, Liu Qiang originally advocated returning to Shazhen for long-term consideration, but after he separated from Superintendent Zhang and Wang Mian, he turned back along the same path.
Later, the rain suddenly became a little faster, and Liu Qiang thought about returning to Shazhen earlier in order to finish the mission and make some preparations for Superintendent Zhang's trouble, so he insisted on hurrying back on a rainy day.
Then on that rainy day, when the curtain of rain almost obscured people's view, they met Griffith.
It was really the worst moment of Liu Qiang's life, Liu Qiang and some people behind him were inexplicably knocked down, and then dragged back to the cave by three spiders the size of pigs with human faces.
The cave was the one that Liang Guo had entered before, and in front of the entrance of the cave, Superintendent Zhang and Wang Mian were arguing fiercely, and the spider dragged the figure past the two of them, but they turned a blind eye.
After that, the nightmare came before it got dark.
……
……
If time could go back, Liu Qiang thought that he would never take over Liang Guo's case, and he even thought that it was better that he hadn't even been to Shazhen. But it was all in vain.
Griffith dragged a long shadow out of the cave around the corner, dressed in white and holding a slender knife in his hand, dripping blood......
Not long ago, this delicate boy used the bright silver index finger of his left hand in front of Liu Qiang to break open the abdomen of a person, pulling out the knotted intestines and colorful internal organs, leaving only some important organs to maintain short-term vitality. He placed them in some gray-brown porcelain jars, sprinkled some powder, and closed the jar with a heavy lid wrapped in a red tarp.
This man used sophisticated, cruel, but pleasing methods to suck out the marrow and spine of a person, sawed off his hands and legs, spread out the chest and abdomen of a person, and made a person into a huge meatloaf - even if the person who did it was a monster, such an act would be intolerable.
The three icy spider monsters with the faces of comrades from the Sentinel Torture Department embedded their forefeet in the wall, and their hind feet hooked the body of the meatloaf, hanging the person high.
At some point, the sound of crying and laughing echoed from the four fields, and in the chorus or crying of countless people, Griffith stepped forward slowly, and he teased Liang Guo's chin with his slender and delicate fingers, as if he was teasing a pet.
The delicate-looking young man stood between Liu Qiang and the meatloaf, stroked the bridge of his nose, and then pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled with some distress. It was really a gentle smile, with an elegant arc like an autumn chrysanthemum blooming in a beautiful season, but Liu Qiang was terrified as if he had seen a ghost, he continued to scream, the green tendons on his neck burst out with force, and the scream sounded a little hoarse because of the screams for two hours in a row, which made Griffith frown again.
No one understands Griffith's horror, but Liu Qiang may be, and Griffith's gesture and frown impress him.
Liu Qiang saw with his own eyes what this young man was doing, but it was somewhat close to Griffith's inner world. He is mysterious and elegant, slaughtering people like animals, he is contemptuous of human nature and fearless. And beneath his graceful movements and soft and petite exterior is a boiling dark black evil.
This is a living demon walking in the world!
Liu Qiang was thinking like this, and Griffith was already walking towards him. He frowned a little unpleasantly at the constant noise, and the great shadow rolled like substance, squeezing from behind the boy's rounded head.
The shadows were like thick winds, and the corners of Griffith's mouth and the tips of his hair danced in the shadows, blurring in the shadows.
"It's so noisy," Griffith said, stretching his slender and crystalline hands over to grab Liu Qiang's neck, lifting him up with one hand. The screaming stopped abruptly, and Griffith's whole face, followed by the slender corners of his mouth, were clearly dilated in Liu Qiang's constricted pupils.
"I've put up with you for two hours!"
……
……
"I've been putting up with you for two hours!"
Griffith, who was completely a monster from body to soul, said so angrily, Liu Qiang's face turned red with his fingers, and he was almost about to lose his breath. He thought that Liu Qiang had been calling endlessly for two hours before, and he had been screaming for two hours while he was cooking--hmph, he hated yelling when others were cooking.
So the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and the white jade-colored fingers rubbed Liu Qiang's cervical spine and creaked. It's unforgivable......
"I've been listening to you next door for two hours, two hours!" Griffith thought like this, like an angry wronged child.
"You're a man, Rory." The little boy was so angry that he was even quite concerned about what the man was shouting casually, so his expression and movements became even more excited.
"You're ...... as a man"
……
……
On the other hand, the quarrel between Superintendent Zhang and Wang Mian gradually subsided, and it seemed that Wang Mian had finally persuaded Superintendent Zhang to enter the cave together to arrest Liang Guo.
Wang Mian, the head of the Shazhen Wang family, is a direct blood relative of the Hanjing Wang family, although he was squeezed out to Shazhen, but there are still a lot of hidden profits in his hands.
At this time, after the disappearance of the advance troops, Zhang Liang, and the departure of Liu Qiang and others, counting Superintendent Zhang and Wang Mian, there were only eight people left who went into the cave to arrest the murderer this time. Due to the successive losses of manpower in the Criminal Enforcement Department, it is now the Wang family's family size that has the upper hand.
However, Wang Mian actually didn't care about the number of people in the Criminal Affairs Department, what he wanted was the legitimacy and justifiable rights and interests to avenge the Wang family represented by Superintendent Zhang and the Criminal Affairs Department. After all, this case has developed to the present, someone has died on the side of the Criminal Affairs Department, and Liang Guo is a murderer like a madman, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that this incident is going to make a big fuss, and what the Wang family has to do is to let what they do before it gets big, without blame.
After some arrangement, everyone decided that Wang Mian and Captain Zhang would lead their subordinates into the cave, while Wang Tuntun and another person from the criminal department would stay outside the cave.
Inside the cave, Griffith finally finished venting his dissatisfaction with Captain Liu Qiang Liu, he sniffed the air carried by the wind with his nose, and turned his head to Liang Guodao, who was standing stiffly on the side:
"The guests are here, go and receive them."
……
……
It was a little after twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun had just crossed the highest point, but the rainy season in the wilderness of Shazhen was continuous, and even at noon, when the sun was the strongest, it was not dazzling.
The rain was dripping against the leaves of the sycamore branches, and Wang Tuntun said goodbye to his father and the people of the Criminal Justice Department, found a place with sufficient vision and shelter from the rain, and waited for news.
Most of the clouds in the sky had turned black, and the clouds were blown to obscure the daylight, and then a large irregular shadow was cast on the ground.
Wang Tuntun glanced at his watch, it was half past one in the afternoon, he stared at the entrance of the cave for a short time, and the faint uneasiness in his heart gradually rose.
The drizzle was still falling, and the sound of water droplets hitting the leaves, puddles, and mud was densely transmitted, and the air blowing in the face was much more refreshing because of the moisture and moisture.
Wang Tuntun looked at the entrance of the cave for a while, and then at the man in the torture department who was leaning against the mountain wall and smoking alone, and the uneasiness that the man could almost hear the voice became more and more intense.
This feeling did not last long, and a high-pitched scream in the cave interrupted the train of thought of the third master Wang Tuntun.
The scream was short and high-pitched, a man's voice. The man leaning against the mountain wall in a posture of holding a cigarette paused for a moment, and he stuck out his head to listen, but the sound was fleeting, leaving only a curtain of rain falling from the sky and the sound of wind and rain running through the heavens and the earth.
"It's Superintendent Zhang's voice."
The man left behind in the Criminal Affairs Department thought about it for a while, probably because he had a bad relationship with Superintendent Zhang, so he was able to judge the owner of the voice just by relying on a single call.
He turned his head and said this to Wang Tuntun, his expression was a little unnatural, and he already had some intention of going into the cave to help, obviously Superintendent Zhang's screams represented the deep meaning behind it, which made him a little worried.
Wang Tuntun thought about it for a while, and finally decided to stay. Most of the people who stayed to arrest the murderer this time went into the cave, and there were a large number of them, so the security was theoretically quite high. As one of the people who stayed to arrest the murderer, it is also of great significance to stay at the entrance of the cave, which will prevent the murderer from escaping from the entrance of the cave or prevent interference from external forces when everyone enters the cave to search.
Superintendent Zhang's screams showed that the cave ** department had encountered an unexpected situation, but Wang Tuntun did not know what the situation was. He is a precocious person, and his mental coldness and calmness are even recognized by the head of the Wang family, Wang Mian. When the situation was unknown, Wang Tuntun's decision to insist on staying according to the original plan was somewhat justified in any case.
However, the world is impermanent, and not everything can conform to the human mind.
The turning point came at a quarter past two in the afternoon, when the clouds and wind and rain were heavier than before, and then a man rushed out of the cave with a shout.
That is a member of the Wang family, who has been a subordinate of the Wang family for more than ten years, and is a very capable person under Wang Tuntun's father Wang Mian. This person's name is Wang Huo, and every time they meet, they will shout 'Third Master' with a smile, and Wang Tuntun will call him Ah Huo or Uncle Huo.
Because Wang Huo has practiced martial arts and is very strong, he is quite responsible for some safety and hidden dangers in the Wang family. In fact, this time when he went out, Wang Mian took him as his personal bodyguard.
The footsteps grew quicker and clearer from the depths of the cavern. Wang Tuntun and another team member looked up in unison, the family named Wang Huo had really run to the corner of the cave, and his panicked face had appeared in Wang Tuntun's field of vision, but a second later, Wang Huo's figure suddenly struck, and a pale arm suddenly stretched out from the cave in the corner behind him, and dragged it back into the cave.
