Chapter 20: 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. They were put alive in Zhang Liang's stomach before, but now they are about to die.

Inside the cave, there were many lights and shadows, and the voices of children were faintly heard, and the soft murmurs and women's songs were sung 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 being hurt, in fact, what is really frightening is the despair and suffocating extension that the injury can bring to people in the end, 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.
