The ghost lingers.

If Fang Chi was looking forward to the appearance of the Avatar at first, but when he revealed the true face of the marauder, Fang Chi became more and more aware of the horror of this person.

He haunts him.

Fang Chi deduced that he must have logged in at this time, and then Lacrimosa used the alert message from his financial account to let him know that she was going to take action.

Withdrawing such a large amount of money at one time, in addition to buying things, it must still be buying things. After shopping, he would go into the item box, so he straightforwardly "transferred" everything from her item box to himself.

Another feature of the financial account alert message is the ability to provide the location of non-master account withdrawals in Maandala in case funds are lost.

That's why the Marauders were able to find her so quickly.

The Avatar of しと is still not far from her. Fang Chi knew that Lacrimosa was going to challenge the tree, which was tantamount to a mayfly shaking the tree, so he had to go over and negotiate with him.

Watch his movements, one-handed control, as if he was checking that video.

Lacrimosa said: "Please give me back that video, it's very important to me. ”

"しと" glanced at her, changed one hand to operate his main interface, and the familiar jet-black long knife appeared in his right hand. He was still carving words on the bedrock ground, and the carved words were still facing Fang Chi.

[In that video, you have a tracking and location code.] 】

After she finished reading it, the blade of "しと" swept away, and all the handwriting disappeared.

Because of the α inhibitors, Fang Chi was not surprised or afraid. "Yes or what, I'm in a safe position right now," she said. "Even if it's tracked, it's a big deal to leave the hotel.

Fang Chi asked again, "Why didn't you speak?" ”

"しと" was busy with the operation and did not answer her. Looking at his movements, his fingers are tapping in the air, and he should have called up the soft keyboard to remove the hidden tracking program.

Fang Chi also gave up struggling, stood next to "しと", and said, "I can't help but let you watch this video." I just hope that after you've read it, you'll show me. ”

"しと" still did not speak. He stopped moving, and looking at his gaze and holding his breath, he should have watched the video on his main interface.

Fang Chi quietly observed the expression of "しと".

His face was like water. It's just that the more I look at it, the heavier my face becomes. faintly, it turned out to be a color of anger.

In her memory, the Marauder was an extremely calm man. I've never seen his expression fluctuate before, and this time, it should be a special case.

The video lasted twelve minutes.

Seeing that "しと" made a move to turn off the video, Fang Chi asked, "Who are you from Sheng Yan?" ”

"しと" lettering: [No comment]

"Why did you get into his Avatar?"

[No comment] "しと" directly clicked on the words just engraved.

"What question would you not ask and you wouldn't say, 'No comment'?"

[No comment]

Fang Chi, who had taken a large dose of α, was extremely calm at this time. This calmness gave her infinite patience.

"You invaded Sheng Yan's Avatar to keep his Avatar active and investigate his death, right?"

"しと" is silent. The tip of the knife slashed across the bedrock, and the words "no comment" disappeared.

"From the video, can you tell who killed Sheng Yan directly?"

"しと" crosses a word: [能]

Fang Chi slowly clenched his fists. "Show me."

"しと": [Are you sure you want to see it?] 】

"Yes." Fang Chi said firmly.

A minute later, a message popped up in Fang Chi's main interface:

"Your friend wants to give you a video, do you accept it?"

Fang Chi chose "yes" without hesitation.

The video that came over was twelve minutes long.,It seems that "しと" has not been abridged. But after Fang Chi opened it, he found that there was no sound.

"There was no sound, or did you remove the voice?" Fang Chi asked, "しと".

[You don't need a sound]

Fang Chi gritted his teeth.

This answer is equivalent to admitting that he removed the audio track before sending her the video. She doesn't know what the purpose of "しと" is doing this, but for now, she can only accept it.

The picture is not very clear, and it was shot with an old-fashioned camera. Today's electronic devices have serial numbers that can be traced back to the user. But with an old-fashioned camera, this problem is avoided.

Sheng Yan was lying on a hospital bed covered with snow-white sheets, arranged in a cross shape. He has multiple electrodes connected to a nearby ECG monitor.

After a few minutes, Fang Chi didn't dare to look back at the beginning paragraph.

Because within the first two minutes, Sheng Yan's person was intact and healthy. On the ECG monitor, it can be clearly seen that the number of heartbeat, blood pressure, blood oxygen, respiration, etc., are all normal and strong.

It was Sheng Yan in her memory.

A perfect, incomparably beautiful Sheng Yan.

At the head of the bed there is a large round wall clock, creamy white, that displays the date and time. The video is a stitch of seven clips and dates from 10/3/19 to 10/9/19. Fang Chi has no memory of that time. Because when she woke up, it was already January of the 20th year.

From the second segment onwards, Fang Chi saw a brutal and completely inhumane torture.

Torture in the European Middle Ages - Wooden Boots.

On October 4, a man wearing a white butcher's costume, white rubber boots, and a white hood appeared on camera. Over the next two minutes, he clamped Sheng Yan's left leg with two thick wooden boards, tied it with ropes, and drew twelve circles with red markers from the base of his thighs to his ankles. Then he showed the camera the hammer and the twelve iron wedges, turned around, and slammed the twelve iron wedges into Sheng Yan's legs from the twelve circles in turn.

In the not very clear footage, Sheng Yan can be seen struggling fiercely, his head is trying to lift up, his jaw bone and neck form a terrible angle, his mouth is wide open, his Adam's apple is extremely protruding, and he is screaming, but no sound can be heard in the video.

This is perhaps the reason why the predators deleted the audio tracks.

Fang Chi had the impression that Sheng Yan was also a very tenacious person. She had watched him train for pain and train to the limits of his body. He had never made a sound, and his endurance was superior throughout the entire nineteen rounds.

What kind of pain would force him to make such an action?

Finally, the white-clothed butcher pulled out the iron wedge and picked up Sheng Yan's feet. His entire left leg was like a baggy bag.

On October 5, the torture of Sheng Yan's right leg was repeated. After a day, his left leg was black and purple to twice the thickness of his usual size, and he was basically necrotic.

During the torture, Sheng Yan fell into a coma, was forced to wake up, and continued to accept the punishment.

On October 6, Sheng Yan's legs were sawed off at the base of Qi thighs and loaded into a wooden box filled with ice. With Fang Chi's understanding, the wooden box was then frozen and airlifted to the 19th Bureau.

On October 7, Sheng Yan's left arm was tortured. Sheng Yan was in a coma many times.

On October 8, Sheng Yan's right arm was tortured, and Sheng Yan's spirit was already in a trance, his eyes were blankly open, and his lips were flabby and slightly moved.

On October 9th, the butcher in white showed a chainsaw in front of the camera, sawing from under Sheng Yan's collarbone to his hip bone, using a dilator to expand Sheng Yan's chest and abdominal cavity, and completely taking out the beating heart, constricted lungs, and liver, placing them on a tray, and presenting them to the front of the camera. The number of ECG monitors showed that Sheng Yan had no vital signs.

End of video.

Fang Chi stood in a trance for a long time, as if he had a dream.

She had imagined a hundred possible ways for Sheng Yan to die. I didn't imagine it to be like this.

She clutched her chest, her heart still beating steadily in her chest, not faster, not slowing down.

If it weren't for α inhibitors, would she have died suddenly by now?

"しと" came over. Engraved in front of her:

[Who do you think killed Sheng Yan? 】

Fang Chi opened his mouth mechanically: "Nerve Rose." She added, "But I don't understand why Nerve Rose tortured Sheng Yan like this." This is no longer cruelty, it is psychopathology. ”

[You can think of it as a nerve rose, but it's not a nerve rose either]

Fang raised his head sluggishly: "What do you mean?" ”

[Do you see what's under the wall clock?] 】

Fang Chi was stunned for a moment, and vaguely remembered that under the wall clock, there was a bouquet of roses, inserted in a milky white vase. She reopened the video and zoomed in to see the roses in the seven video clips.

There were seven roses on the first day, fresh, fresh, even with clear dew, the only bright color in that room. The cold and cruel torture instruments in this room made the roses more and more delicate and beautiful.

The delicate roses wither quickly. There will be one less every day in the back, and if you look closely, it is inserted into the body of Sheng Yan in the shape of a cross.

Roses -

Fang Chi's fingers suddenly moved.

"Is there anything to do with the Rose Road, the Nerve Rose, and the roses that appear here?"

The Rose Road was once the largest trading website on the dark web, almost monopolizing 80% of black market transactions on the dark web. In 16 years, under the vigorous promotion of Sheng Yan and Sheng Qinghuai, the Rose Road was wiped out by the 19th Bureau in conjunction with the FBI and the KGB CIA.

Thinking of this, Fang suddenly gasped.

The manipulator behind the scenes!

The fall of the Rose Road back then only destroyed their servers and captured that group of criminal gangs.

But what if the real manipulators of the Rose Road weren't among them?

What if the manipulator escaped the sanction and re-established the nerve rose?

In 16 years, the Rose Road was destroyed.

In the same year, Nerve Rose was founded.

This time is no coincidence!

So is this kind of torture and killing of Sheng Yan a deliberate revenge for his extermination of the Rose Road?!

[Remember the withering logo?] 】

Wither, the Russian who is as famous as Kevin Mitnick, the top hacker who broke into the "North American Air Protection Command System" with just a computer and a modem?

"Was the KGB CIA rewarded for stealing the medical examination report of a Russian presidential candidate in 16 years and was arrested by the CIA?"

[Right]

Another 16 years.

If she remembers correctly, the time when the KGB CIA wanted Wither should have been between the fall of the Rose Road and the establishment of the Nerve Rose.

And the most famous symbol of the wither is a withered rose on a cross.
