In the deep grass under the river embankment, Xu Changqing slowly got up and stretched his muscles. "Get up," he said to Xia Cheng, "and it's gone." ”

Xia Cheng still had an expression of disbelief. "That banshee," she said in a trembling voice, "I would never believe that such a thing existed in the world unless I had seen it with my own eyes!" I've heard you talk about the Evil Spirit Atlas before, and if I see it all of a sudden, I can't guarantee that I won't scream. They, they," she said, pointing to a pair of shriveled human skins on the bench, "and just dead like that?" ”

"That's supposed to be the ability of the Evil Spirit Atlas. Absorb the souls and spirits of the dead and enhance the power of the evil spirits in the book. ”

"Can we win?" Xia Cheng seemed a little timid, "This fog demon seems to be so powerful—"

Xu Changqing touched her head: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." It's been a good trip, at least I've discovered a weakness of the Fog Demon," he said confidently, "maybe a very fatal weakness." ”

Xia Cheng snapped and knocked his hand off: "Don't touch your head, be serious!" Perhaps infected by Xu Changqing's composure, her mood began to improve, "It seems that there is a weakness." Before he could summon the sword-wielding monster, he needed to chant a spell. As long as he doesn't have time to finish the spell, he's just a dead fat man who can release fog...... Right? ”

Xu Changqing nodded in agreement: "I think so." ”

"Then I have a way, it should be said that it is a battle plan......" Xia Cheng regained his confidence and waved his hand confidently, "Let's go, go back and discuss." ”

After three more days of waiting, the black Lexus went out again. Uesugi, who was in charge of surveillance, observed the situation as soon as possible and immediately reported: "The fog demon is out!" ”

Xu Changqing and Xia Cheng were still in the Monster Hunter, and when they heard this, they dropped the handle: "Both of them are gone?" ”

"Sure," Uesugi said in an unquestioning tone, "every time Nobuta drives, and the fat man sits in the car." I suspect the fat man didn't even get a driver's license. ”

Xia Cheng grabbed the backpack he had prepared a long time ago and beckoned Xu Changqing: "Let's go, let's get ready to work." ”

Xu Changqing also grabbed his backpack. There are a lot of stuff in it. A special silent drill, a heartbeat detector, a miniature laptop, and even a pistol. It was an imitation M1911 sold by the Lolita Control Weapons Industry for export, with rough workmanship and only 10 rounds. But this is Fusang, and the gun ban is stricter, so it's good to have it.

The access control of the high-end apartment where Shinda stays is not too strict. Although there is a duty room, the security guards inside do not care. Xia Cheng and Xu Changqing were dressed like a young couple, carrying a shoulder bag that was very trendy at the moment. The security guard just glanced at it and didn't say a word.

Dodged into the elevator, cleverly covering his face, Xu Changqing pressed down to the 3rd floor. After a while, the elevator doors opened. He looked over and the hallway was empty, good opportunity.

Nobuta's room was around the corner at the end of the hallway. The two walked over. Xia Cheng stood in the outer gear, Xu Changqing quickly took out a key and tried to open the door. This key was just matched yesterday, and it was recast through a plastic mold, and the accuracy was not very good. He gently adjusted back and forth, and tried patiently for two or three minutes. Finally, the handle began to rotate smoothly, and the door opened silently. He pushed the door into the house and motioned for Xia Cheng to follow.

This is the negotiated plan. The fog demon went out, and there was no one left at home. The two took the opportunity to sneak in and wait for the rabbit. When the silly rabbit came back, the two of them put their guns together, and they would never give him time to recite the incantation. As for the Nobuta next to him? The combat power is only five small transparent one, who cares about her.

It is worthy of a high-end apartment, very luxurious and spacious, the living room can be 60 square meters, and the furniture and utensils are all famous brands. However, many famous brands are not in style. Countless leftover instant noodle shells and pizza paper plates are littered on high-end coffee tables and Italian leather sofas, and the whole living room is like a big garbage heap.

"It's so stinky...... Xia Cheng covered his nose, "We're going to ambush here until those two come back?" I doubt I'll make it this far. ”

"Don't complain, the Noble Phantasm Hunter must have the consciousness of the Noble Phantasm Hunter."

The wait is hours. The clock was ticking, it was past three o'clock in the night, and there was still no movement in the headphones. is as calm as Xu Changqing, and he is a little out of breath. He began to call Tatsuya Uesugi, who was guarding the opposite window and was in charge of monitoring the whereabouts of Lexus: "Hey, Uesugi, you're not going to fall asleep, are you?" ”

"No, I'm holding on with coffee," Uesugi replied yawning, "I didn't even dare to close my eyelids, but I didn't really see the car come back." ”

"It's so weird...... Xu Changqing thought for a moment, "can they still track their car through the traffic control system?" ”

"Ah, you didn't say it earlier. I thought the focus was on monitoring the neighborhood of the apartment, so I didn't track Lexus. ”

Horoza is the largest metropolis in Ezo, and there are countless cars running on the road at all times. To get that Lexus out of the sea of these cars, you have to have the luck of winning the lottery - no, wait, there should be a way. With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Xu Changqing had an idea. "You monitor the police communication channel to see if there is an urgent report of the Fog Demon killing," he told Uesugi, "If there is a notice, pay attention to the location and time of discovery, and you can almost deduce their current location." ”

With the direction, Uesugi was suddenly full of energy. "Good way!" His voice was full of energy, "I'll start looking into it." ”

This check, another few hours. The sun was getting brighter and brighter in the east, but the damn Lexus was still nowhere to be seen.

"There's news......"

Uesugi's voice came from the earphones, and Xu Changqing perked up: "Back?" ”

Uesugi's voice looked confused: "No, it's dead." ”

“…… Who died? ”

"The fog demon, that's the fat man."

Suddenly hearing such news, Xu Changqing felt like a punch in the air. After lying in ambush for most of the night, the person was already dead, how could he be embarrassed. "Was he killed by the police? What about corpses? He asked again and again.

"No, listening to what the police channel said, they just found the body. In fact, they didn't realize that the person was the Fog Demon, and they only saw it as a victim of another murder in the Fog Alley. As for the corpses, like those who died before, only a human skin remained. ”

"Are you sure the human skin is the fat one?"

"This, I don't dare to pack a ticket until the forensic report comes out. But at least it's certain that the fat man is dead," Uesugi said in a hundred and twenty affirmations, "and the police got their hands on surveillance footage from a nearby camera. I just downloaded it. Although the image is not clear, the fat man can be seen lying on the ground, covered in blood, and the strange book is gone. ”

"Who did it?"

"I don't know anything at the moment. The footage is incomplete, and the police are still sorting out clues. ”

Xu Changqing touched the stubble on his chin and fell into deep thought. The news from Uesugi surprised him very much.

The fog demon actually died, and the way of death was the same as that of other victims of the fog alley, and finally the soul and essence were sucked dry by the evil spirit guide. In other words, the Illustrated Book of Evil Spirits has been controlled by someone else. What happened last night? Could it be that there is a master who happens to pass by and treats him in the way of others? Nonsense, is this kind of martial arts bridge possible in the city?
