"In fact, each of our hearts is empty, just like a closed valley, there are no flowers, no grass, no intoxicating green, no heartbreaking blue, some are just a lonely crying self, afraid of being hurt and curled up by themselves, but ...... That self will eventually grow up, Su Zhan body, no longer afraid, no longer crying, and then ...... Personally offer the first green ...... to the valley I look forward to ...... day"

— Suko

Ten years later, North China

Approaching August, although it is close to the north, it still can't escape the torment of the scorching heat, and this summer seems to be even hotter, the surface emits visible steam, and the streets are a little sparsely populated.

"What! So hot! How can I find it! In the shadow in front of the cold drink shop, a girl fanned the wind with her hands, complaining dissatisfied, the girl was a little thin, wearing a somewhat ordinary white dress, long hair shawl, slightly curled, pouting, beautiful eyes staring at the ...... There is a wide variety of cold drinks on the cold drink shop sign.

"On a hot day, I really want to eat ice cream!" Anyway, she would never admit that she had found a perfect excuse for her loss!

……

"Sure enough! Ice cream is my love! The girl licked the ice cream with a little excitement, and the expression of enjoyment appeared on her delicate little face, and suddenly, the smile on her face froze.

"Ahhh

The girl's mournful wail echoed through the streets......

……

"So you can't find your way home?" A few young men smoking cigarettes secretly looked at the girl who was cautiously asking them for directions, and when they saw the girl's delicate face and slender waist, they subconsciously swallowed their saliva.

"That's right! There was no one at this time! Big brothers, just help me! It's my first time in this city, and I really can't find the way! The girl said weakly.

"So what's in it for us?" Several of the guys looked at each other for a moment, and they all understood each other's thoughts, and one of them looked at the girl's figure unscrupulously, spat out a smoke ring, and asked.

"You can do whatever you want!" The girl stuck out her tongue, and this action made the eyes of several guys straighten instantly!

……

"Huixing Road No. 12! This is it! ”

It's a bit far from the center of the city, in an inconspicuous suburb, but it's a place where dozens of stories of high-rise buildings gather, and the girl is in front of such a tall building, but these high-rise buildings give people an inconspicuous feeling, as if ...... No one will pay attention to this strange sense of disobedience.

"The place has arrived! That little sister, you said you were going to give us a favor! A couple of guys laughed evilly, and the girl was surrounded in the middle.

"I think everything is in my own vision, and then I think I have everything in order! That's right! The girl's somewhat delicate appearance was gone, replaced by a somewhat serious face.

Several young men were stunned for a moment, and looked at the girl in surprise.

"Psychology is to grasp the psychology, analyze the psychology, and use the psychology to achieve its own goals! In the final analysis, this is just a small psychological suggestion, maybe not even a psychological suggestion, after observing it for so long, you should come out too! The girl's tone was a little light, but it gave people a feeling that she had everything under control!

Bang Bang Bang!

Next to the tall building, applause rang out in a somewhat gloomy alley.

A silver-haired man walked out, flush bangs, there seemed to be a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were sharp as sharp, and he had a white scarf around his neck, but when he looked closely, he was surprised to find that it was a ferret, just like a scarf hanging around his neck, he was wearing an inconspicuous jacket, but it gave people an indescribable momentum.

"Su Ke, 19 years old, female, University of Pennsylvania, double degree Ph.D. in Occultism......" The man's words were interrupted by Su Ke before he could finish speaking.

"You check your account!" Girl, no! Su Ke glared at the silver-haired man, and his delicate little face was full of the words I was angry.

Looking at Su Ke's puffed appearance, the man smiled dumbly.

"You don't need to know my name, it's just a symbol, as for my identity and position, it's not convenient to reveal it to you, before that, I want to ask, how did you find me?" The man asked, curiously.

"You made three mistakes!" Su Ke stretched out three fingers, "First, for me who came here for the first time, there was no guide who could be a coolie, which in itself was very unreasonable! Second, in terms of psychological analysis, for a newcomer, the necessary vigilance is essential, because I know the meaning of MSO's existence! Third, I didn't even notice you! All of the above is just my inference, you came out on your own! Complete! A wicked smile appeared on the corner of Su Ke's mouth.

The man was momentarily speechless.

"Oops! There is a limit to ignoring people! A few guys shouted, "You're her concubine?" Or do you want to be a hero and save beauty? You can't do it......" Before he could finish speaking, he stopped abruptly, for the silver-haired man looked at them as if he were looking at a dead man......

……

Southwest Jidu, MSO Headquarters

There was a thick stack of materials on the large desk, and a tall man was sleeping on the desk, his saliva stained a large piece of the materials, and he was babbling, as if he had dreamed of something delicious.

Bang bang bang!

There was a soft knock on the door, as if he had heard some terrible sound, and the man who was still sleeping soundly just now straightened up in an instant, and hurriedly sorted out the documents on his desk, and the teacup next to the table was touched to the ground by him and shattered into pieces.

"Clouds?"

An inquiry was sent out the door.

"Alright, alright, come in!" The tall man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked around carefully, and only after making sure that he did not show any horse's feet did he pretend to be normal in reply.

The door to the office opened, and in walked in was a little girl about thirteen or fourteen years old, she was wearing a pale blue suspender pajamas, the thin suspender slid down her right shoulder, her slightly pink skin was exposed to the air, she was holding a brown cloth bear doll in her left hand, the cute little face like a doll was full of the words I want to sleep, and her slightly hazy eyes stared at the man's face in a daze, and then ...... Yawned......

The corners of the man's mouth twitched.

"Is it really okay for you to dress like this?"

The little girl didn't answer, just stared at the man's face in a daze, pulled his sleeve, and the man squatted down as she meant, and then ...... A tiny finger ran across the corner of his mouth as if it had dipped in something, and then the man watched as the little girl withdrew the finger and put it in his mouth and sucked it......

"Saliva!"

The little girl lowered her little hand, and her eyes seemed to close again because she was sleepy.

"Yun, you just secretly slept!"

"That's not the point! You get dressed for me!! ”

"No, I don't care about that anyway!"

"But! I!! At!! Meaning!! ”

……

"Ah~~~~~~" Although she flipped through the information in her hand, the little girl yawned loudly, and some tears flowed faintly from the corners of her eyes, she stretched out her little hand and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, but her eyes were still hazy as if they were about to close.

"Newcomer Su Ke?" As if feeling uncomfortable, the little girl shrunk back and allowed herself to lean back on the wide leather office chair in a more comfortable position, "It's funny!" The corners of the little girl's mouth showed an unpredictable smile, and then, she dragged her chin with her little hand, as if thinking carefully for a while, and drew a small circle with her finger on the map next to the information, and in the circle, there was an inconspicuous city!

Pearl City!

This is not too big a city, small but prosperous, can overlook the entire city of the observation deck, surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side of the water, the geographical location is extremely superior, like a pearl, small, but has a unique brilliance!

However, not everyone appreciates this unique style!

"Is this going to kill me?!" Su Ke looked at the new map in his hand with a sad face! There was an urge to find someone to beat her up and get angry, and she deeply realized what it means to be unreliable! After answering a phone call, the silver-haired man took her directly to the city, and after answering another phone call, he patted his ass and left, saying that he had a task and asked her to find someone who took her as a newcomer.

Su Ke looked at the note with the address in her hand, and the name of the person she was looking for.

Yuan Daolong!

A very common name.

The sun is still a little poisonous, but Su Ke can only face the map and walk towards the destination step by step, why not take a ride? Hehe! She would never admit that she left her purse at a cold drink shop! Walk healthier, walk healthier! Su Ke choked back tears as he walked, giving himself this most ordinary psychological hint!

"Damn silver hair! Don't let me see you again! Su Ke gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart!

Time faded away, the sun lost its brilliance, and orange-red light shone across the ground.

Su Ke looked at the security door in front of him with tears in his eyes, after trekking through mountains and rivers, it was difficult to be ninety-nine eighty-one, no! It shouldn't be so exaggerated, anyway, she successfully stood in front of the door of the destination!

Mingguang Apartment, Unit 3, Room 402

Smack!

Su Ke knocked softly on the door.

Yuan Daolong?

What kind of person would he be? From that dead silver hair's mouth, it can probably be judged that he should be at least at the level of an investigator, otherwise he will not have the ability to bring new people! Investigators! Is it a middle-aged uncle? No, no! Could it be a white-haired old man! No way! No way! I can't take it anymore!!

Just when Su Ke was thinking nonsense.

The door to the room opened.

"That'...... That one...... Hello seniors! That...... That one...... First time we met, my name is Su Ke, please advise! Su Ke subconsciously lowered, relying on her own imagination, she judged that it was an uncle or an old man who opened the door for no reason, so she lowered her identity to show her respect for her predecessors......

"Oh, you're the new guy they mentioned!" The voice is very gentle and clear, not quite like the voice of an uncle or an old man!

Su Ke raised his head suspiciously, the first thing he saw was his gentle smile, very sunny and warm, it was a young man in his twenties, wearing a black windbreaker, it was obviously summer, but he was wearing this black windbreaker without the slightest sense of incongruity, some ordinary faces, but it brought people an indescribable charm, his eyes were a little deep, but when he saw his eyes, Su Ke frowned without a trace......

"It must be tiring...... Su Ke muttered in a low voice.

Yuan Daolong didn't hear Su Ke's muttered whisper.

He just smiled softly and stretched out his hand to Su Ke......

This is the first meeting between Su Ke and Yuan Daolong, the gears of fate began to turn from this moment, and after many days and nights, the two who have already become partners are still full of emotion when they recall this first meeting......

It's warm! But is his heart as warm as his mighty hands?

Su Ke is a psychologist, although it was the first meeting with Yuan Daolong, she still understood something from the eyes of this man with a sunny smile, she just hid it all in her heart, and she still had a long time with him! And that's enough time for her to read someone, isn't it?

Yuan Daolong's home is not very big, but it is very clean, not as messy and unbearable as Su Ke imagined, there is a purple vase on the coffee table in the living room, and in the vase are a few blooming perfume lilies, and the elegant fragrance is intoxicating.

"Does that feel weird?" Yuan Daolong invited Su Ke to sit down on the sofa, and personally built a cup of green tea for her, sat on the sofa opposite Su Ke, smiled and watched the girl take a sip of tea, and looked around curiously, and couldn't help asking.

"It's not...... I thought ......" Su Ke was a little at a loss to explain, but Yuan Daolong interrupted her.

"What do you think the lives of MSO investigators should be? Busy with tasks every day? Staying in that boring headquarters or branch, dictating to a group of people? Or is it an endless day and night trip around the world? Hidden in the dark? ”

Yuan Daolong's series of questions made the girl feel that she had nothing to say, and she really thought so before.

"Huh! There are so many mysterious events in this world! And...... We are disgusted by the world! The last sentence is a little light, and there is also a hint of imperceptible loneliness in it.

Yes! People who are hated by the world! All MSO people are basically people who are hated by the world!

This is the result of that event ten years ago!

That is, the mystery is open to people!

What is Mystery? Is it something that people feel afraid of, or is it something that people are jealous of?

Mystery – a secret given to this world by God.

I don't know if there is a god in this world, but the world itself has endless secrets, things that people don't understand, things that people don't believe, things that people think don't exist, things that people can't imagine, and because of that incident ten years ago, it also emerged, which had a great impact on people's worldview at that time, and two years later, a new discipline came out, occultism! As for what exactly happened ten years ago, what was the truth ten years ago? On the contrary, this question gradually faded in people's minds, and the International Federation began to study and analyze the mystery, and tried to imagine that it could be controlled artificially......

And the people who are disgusted by the world are able to understand and control a part of the mystery independently, as if they have the key to open the lifeblood of the world, so they are disgusted by the world, they are jealous and disgusted by other human beings, and some people are even used as guinea pigs for experiments by the World Federation, until ...... The appearance of that man......

The establishment of the MSO, the agreement with the Federation of Nations, but their status quo has not been fundamentally changed, the human heart is the most unpredictable, but at least, it maintains a balance on the surface, doesn't it?

People who are hated by the world! The corners of Yuan Daolong's mouth showed a wry smile! But this thought was soon forgotten by him! Because the most important thing for him now should be to teach this girl who joined the MSO as his junior!

Yes! Should...... Good~Good~Teaching~Guidance......

The hands of the wall clock point to eleven o'clock.

"It's a little late!" Yuan Daolong frowned without a trace, "You've been running around for a day, so take a good rest today!" I've cleaned up the room and you're going to be staying here for the time being......"

"What...... What the? I...... I'm going to ...... with the former Seniors live together? Su Ke's pretty face turned red in an instant, no wonder, no matter how strong she was during the day, she was only a nineteen-year-old girl after all, and suddenly hearing what Yuan Daolong said, shyness and embarrassment were inevitable......

"What's wrong?" Yuan Daolong looked at Su Ke with some doubts, and suddenly, he also felt the inappropriateness in his words, although he was a newcomer to MSO and a junior he wanted to bring, but after all, the two were meeting for the first time, and they were far from being familiar, so it was indeed inappropriate to directly issue such a suggestion......

"But it's so late, and it's ......" Yuan Daolong waved his hand a little embarrassed, and was interrupted by Su Ke before he could finish his words.

"It's okay, senior, I believe in you!" Su Ke showed a sweet smile at Yuan Daolong, and then, as if he was running away, he dragged his suitcase and hid in the guest room, plugged in the door, leaving Yuan Daolong in the living room with a confused face.

……

"Oh, it scared the hell out of me!"

As soon as he plugged in the door, Su Ke sat down on the ground, gently stroked his chest with his left hand, exhaled a long breath, and straightened out his somewhat scattered bangs with his right hand.

"Scared the hell out of me! If I let my seniors know that I left my wallet at a cold drink shop, then my image will be ruined! Fortunately, this girl reacted quickly! ”

Just when Su Ke was a little proud......

……

The night casts a veil of mystery over the city, and the night scene is illuminated.

The roof of a tall building.

The silver fur stood there quietly, his slanted bangs floating in the wind, and the ferret climbed on his shoulder, scratching its nose with its paws, and rubbing its head against his clothes, as if it looked a little uncomfortable.

"You smell it too? That faint smell of blood in this city! Silverfur stroked the ferret's silky fur with his hand, as if talking to himself.

The night, like a beast that chooses to devour, slowly shows its sharp fangs.

Silver Fur jumped from the top of the building, and his figure slowly disappeared into the endless night.

……

It was the ruins of houses, blazing fires.

Curved steel frames, dilapidated Ferris wheels.

The smell of blood floated in the air.

The sky, lit up by flames, was gloomy.

Is...... Is this a sight?

It hurts...... Heart...... Why does it hurt so much?

This is...... Where?

In the distance, it was the back of a person, which could not be seen clearly and was very blurry...... Who is he? I wanted to catch up, but the distance between them became farther and farther away, and finally disappeared again......

What a choking smell of smoke! There seems to be someone behind him, but he can't turn back, as if the whole world is moving, and the only thing that is still is only himself, as if there is a hand on his shoulder, which is a little warm...... I look like I'm looking back......

Suddenly, everything was gone again, and all I felt was the pain of the burning fire......

Well, nose, why is it a little itchy...... Can't help it!

Ahh

Everything was gone, and the sight became clearer, and the first thing I saw was the cheap face of Silver Fur, who was picking at his nose with a small tugs of hair that had been pulled from the ferret...... Wait a minute...... Wait a minute......

How did he get in!?

"Hooligans!"

Syllable!

A resounding slap in the face!

……

"Whoever I recruited provoked me!" Silver Hair complained dissatisfiedly while sending fried sticks and soy milk to his mouth, there was a big slap mark on the left side of his face, which was obviously Su Ke's masterpiece!

"Humph!" Su Ke snorted coldly, staring at the silver hair with an unkind face.

Yuan Daolong shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, he was already helpless about Yinmao's behavior, and he was even more difficult to say anything about Su Ke's reaction, because no matter how you look at this matter...... It seems to be all the fault of the silver hair!

"Speaking of dead silver hair, what are you doing here?" Su Ke slapped the soup spoon on the table heavily, "Wouldn't it be just to have breakfast?" ”

"Uh...... That is true! Silver Hair's expression became serious, "Yesterday I received a report from the city's standing investigator that an incident had happened!" And this event ...... It just so happens that Yuan Daolong, you can come and bring newcomers! ”

"Then this incident shouldn't be very troublesome! You should be able to solve it directly, right? Yuan Daolong's expression also became serious, "Could it be ......?"

"That's right! What I care about more ...... It's Mori! A trace of worry faintly crossed between the silver-haired eyebrows, and it was soon well hidden by him again, but this worry fell into Su Ke's eyes without any trace!

Su Ke didn't understand what Yuan Daolong and Silver Hair were talking about, but she didn't ask, she was very clear about the issue of MSO's permission, since Yuan Daolong and Silver Hair didn't explain it to her, it meant that she didn't have the authority to understand this matter!

"I see!" Yuan Daolong nodded at the silver hair, "You just go and follow up on the incident in Sen!" I'll fix this incident! ”

"Okay! One more thing...... Xiao Ke, go on! Silver Fur took something out of his pocket and threw it to Su Ke!

Su Ke subconsciously caught it! Take a closer look, the familiar green! It was she who landed in the purse of the cold drink shop.

"Don't be so embarrassed next time! I'll give you the money for your wallet...... I've already deducted it from your wallet Oh, no need to send it......" Silver Hair's voice faded away, Su Ke froze there, and after half a sound, her miserable howl resounded throughout the room......

"That's it! Hurry up and clean up! Yuan Daolong looked at Su Ke, who was lying on the dining table with some amusement, and kept cursing the hateful silver-haired man with his fingers, and coughed lightly, "There are still many tasks ahead!" ”

Su Ke answered, got up and went back to his room to pack his things......

It was about the same as yesterday's weather, it was still the poisonous and annoying sun, even the wind blowing on his cheeks was hot, Su Ke was wearing a white sun hat with a low brim, and a small backpack on his back, while Yuan Daolong, who was walking next to her, was still wearing a black windbreaker, as if the heat had no effect on him at all.

"Senior, where are we going?" Su Ke raised his head and looked at Yuan Daolong, there was no previous laughter in his eyes, but a kind of seriousness and seriousness.

"The first thing we need to do is to go to the standing investigator and find out the circumstances of the incident!" Yuan Daolong looked at the cloudless sky, he didn't look at Su Ke's eyes, he was afraid that this junior would see the hesitation and worry in his heart.

Simple event? Will the events involved in Mori be simple? And...... According to MSO's internal statistics, the mortality rate of newcomers facing mysterious events for the first time is the highest, they have no experience, and they have not even really recognized the nature of this world!

Yuan Daolong sighed, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the small silver pendant hanging around his neck, this is the only memorial of a man in this world, after so long, Yuan Daolong seems to be able to feel his body temperature from this pendant!

Isn't the meaning of the existence of the predecessors to protect the juniors?

I still remember him saying this with a smile, and then the whole person fell to the ground with a bang, swallowed by the wandering darkness......

"Senpai, Senpai!"

His thoughts were interrupted, and Yuan Daolong met Su Ke's slightly dissatisfied eyes, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Let's go! It's a bit of a long way! Yuan Daolong patted Su Ke's head and quickened his pace.

Listening to Yuan Daolong's firm footsteps, Su Ke also smiled, and the smile in an instant was very beautiful!

"Senpai, wait for me!"

……

It's a non-obtrusive bar on the side of the road, it's quiet, it's not as sensual as you might think, it's full of depraved notes, the bartender holds a cold dark beer and a glass of warm milk, and puts these in front of the guests at table 12, then bows and slowly leaves!

Yuan Daolong picked up the dark beer and poured a big sip hard, and then, the dark beer was placed on the table, making a crisp sound of bells, Yuan Daolong sat opposite a somewhat restrained man, in front of him was a cup of cold coffee, he glanced at Su Ke, and saw that the girl was holding the warm milk and couldn't eat, and couldn't help but look at Yuan Daolong with an inquiring gaze!

"There are no outsiders here, this is the newcomer I brought, let's talk about the situation directly!" Yuan Daolong breathed a long sigh of relief and said directly.

The hands of the man opposite instantly clenched, and a look of fear appeared on his face, as if he could not forget the scene he saw until now.

"The first to die was the chairman of Minghui Group, and his body was found last night, no...... It's not so much a ......corpse," the man's face showed a look of horror again, "minced flesh, the whole room was full of blood, and the flesh looked as if it had been torn off, and the flesh was full of tooth marks as you could see, and, according to forensic examination...... No, the results of our human tests are the same......"

The man paused.

"Those tooth marks...... It's ~human~kind~~tooth~scar......"

Yuan Daolong and Su Ke suddenly felt that their juniors were cold, and they seemed to see one person tearing at another, chewing his flesh, and leaving a bright red ...... along the corners of his mouth.

Oh wow wow! Su Ke couldn't bear it anymore and retched, fortunately she didn't eat much in the morning, otherwise she would have vomited a lot, Yuan Daolong seemed very calm, and for a long time he didn't show his heart too much in his actions.

"Is that so?" Yuan Daolong fell silent.

"Yes! And...... And...... In just one night last night, 34 people were killed, and the way of death was similar to Mr. Yuan, and it took a lot of effort for our standing team to suppress this matter, if ...... If it goes on like this......" The man lowered his head and said no more.

"I see!" Yuan Daolong stood up and didn't touch the cold draft beer in front of him again! But there was more solemnity in his expression!

"Xiao Ke, let's go!"

"Wait a minute, senior!" Su Ke shouted Yuan Daolong, turned his head to face the man in the standing group, this girl who had not spoken since the beginning finally spoke!

"Please investigate the information about the chairman of Ming Fai Group, including his family situation, social relations, etc., and the same is true of other people who were killed! And one more question, at night! Why night? Is it because there is some special meaning or reason for the night? ”

After saying this, Su Ke also stood up and smiled at the two seniors!

"Perhaps...... The night is the key, maybe it's a lot! ”
