Through some pipes, Xia Cheng rented a suite near the apartment where Xintian was located. Three people moved in and took turns monitoring the movement on the other side.

After a few days, some patterns were discovered.

The number of times Nobuta goes out is actually relatively more. The hacker fat man almost stays at home, and even if he wants to go out, he is also a driver in Xintian. Actually, the goods only go out at night. The black Lexus is the same as the black impermanence. Every time I go out at night, the next day I can see the news of "Murder in Fog Alley" in the newspaper.

In nine days, Lexus went out three times and killed three passers-by under the guise of death. The fog demon makes a vote every three days, which is very regular.

The pretence is really not small, and there is no standard for the fog demon to choose the victim. The police were so overwhelmed that they mobilized almost all their patrol cars and roamed the streets and alleys at night. But it didn't work, the damned man still died.

It's time for the fog demon to go out again. Tonight, all three of them continued their coffee and took turns to watch in front of the window.

"It's coming out," Uesugi in front of the telescope waved excitedly to Xia Cheng and Xu Changqing, "Look!" ”

Xia Cheng and Xu Changqing were originally fighting monster hunters online, but when they heard the words, they lost their handles and rushed to the window: "Came out?" ”

Across the street, in front of the underground garage of the premium apartment, the front of a black Lexus popped up. Nobuta skillfully held the steering wheel, and the fat hacker was crooked in the assistant's seat, playing with his mobile phone intently.

"Let's go!"

Xia Cheng grabbed the car keys on the coffee table and beckoned Xu Changqing to go out.

Uesugi sat down in front of his computer with a lot of energy. "Don't worry," he said, raising his right hand to his eyebrows and making a saluting gesture, "I'll keep an eye on the direction of Lexus all the way." Road traffic cameras throughout Horoza are under control, so don't worry. ”

The Lexus didn't drive fast, going east along the northern Miyazawa Street, passing the Mizuho Shrine on Yanlai Street, turning southeast, passing through several streets and alleys, and coming to the path next to the Mochizuki Hanchuan River. The road is relatively deserted, with the river on the left and a few small buildings scattered on the right. It's late at night, there are few people on the road, and most of the lights in the small buildings are out.

"It could be here today." Xu Changqing looked at the Lexus in front of him and said.

Xia Cheng braked suddenly, quickly fell backwards, and hid in the shadows of the street corner. "Get out of the car," she whispered, "the Lexus is stopped, and the fat man is about to get out of the car...... Look, one leg is sticking out. ”

The two got out of the car, hid in the shadows of the trees in the small park by the river, and quietly looked over there.

Uesugi sent the image in time. Looking at the shooting angle, it turned out to be a security camera set up at the door of a nearby household. God knows how he got his permission.

The image is not very clear, and the fat hacker can be vaguely seen getting out of the car, carrying a heavy book. The cover of the book was dark green with a metallic sheen. "That's the Evil Spirit Atlas," Xu Changqing whispered to Xia Cheng, "Before summoning an evil spirit, he will most likely use the Hidden Mist Technique first. ”

"Hidden Mist?"

"Killing people in Fog Alley, of course, you have to release the fog first."

"This should be his own superpower," Xia Cheng made up his own brain, "I didn't expect that there are really superpowers in the world." ”

However, the fat hacker didn't let out the fog at all. He reached out and dipped it in his mouth, turned a page, and said something in his mouth. I saw a whirlwind blowing on the flat ground. The fat man's side was full of green light, and an eerie figure suddenly appeared. It has a deep hood and is completely invisible to its face. His arms were as thin as wood, and he carried a green lantern in his left hand and a long sword in his right hand, the blade of which shimmered with a cold sheen. The strangest thing is - this man has no legs! It is purely floating in the air, which is completely contrary to scientific reason.

Xu Changqing almost fell to the ground: "He summoned the evil spirit like this?" Swaggering? is so careless in doing things, but no one has been photographed? ”

There is one sentence he didn't say: Compared with the fog demon in his previous life, this brainless style doesn't match at all! Could it be that after being reborn, the people of the fog demon are different?

The windows of the Lexus were lowered, revealing Nobuta's face. She yelled at the fat hacker. The fat hacker patted his head and raised his palm halfway to the sky. Soon, a thick fog dispersed in all directions, and the white expanse covered everything.

By reading his lips, Xu Changqing understood that the word Nobuta said to the fat man was "Fog!" "Dignified fog demon, do you have to rely on the little girl's reminder to know what to do? The fog demon in his previous life was good at planning, calculating everything, and doing things without leakage. This fat man is very arrogant, he forgets things when he raises his feet, and his painting style is inevitably too far behind. Is this man really a fog demon? He had a vague feeling that something was strange.

On the causeway near the Mochizuki Cold River, a pair of young lovers who look like college students sit shoulder to shoulder, whispering affectionately. Trapped in the world of the two, the two are almost insulated from the outside world, and the fog has quietly shrouded the surroundings, and they are still unaware.

"The camera can't get it," Uesugi messaged, "the fog is too high, and there are no cameras with the right angle near the riverbank." ”

"Let's go, go over and have a look," Xu Changqing told Xia Cheng, "Follow me, your steps must be light." ”

In the face of the increasingly misty river, the young lovers are still whispering. At this time, the cold blade appeared from the fog and lightly touched the shoulder of the boy on the left.

"Don't buy flowers," the boy turned his head a little annoyed, "Didn't you say you wouldn't buy them a long time ago, why-"

I didn't finish it. The blade of the sword went straight forward and pierced his throat without hesitation. The boy's throat rattled, and no matter what he wanted to say, the voice was already stuck in the trachea, drowned out by the gushing blood.

The banshee with an eerie green light appeared, floating in the air, her face hidden by a deep hood. Seeing her male companion killed by its sword, the girl's face turned white with fright, and she took a deep breath tremblingly.

Unfortunately, before she could scream, the banshee was another sword.

A cold blade pierced the girl's neck. She was like a frog strung on a bamboo stick, struggling desperately, getting weaker and weaker.

The fat hacker slowly walked up the river embankment with a happy expression. He turned the book to the title page and pressed his right hand on it. Suddenly, countless pale white points of light floated out from the eyes, ears, mouths, and noses of the two people who had just been killed, and they were all thrown into the book. Their bodies quickly dried up, and finally clattered against the bench, completely out of shape. This process lasted two to three minutes. During this time, the banshee has been quietly raising her sword and standing by the side.

After the absorption was over, the green flame of the lantern in the banshee's hand suddenly rose. First it was extremely bright, then it gradually dimmed. After stabilizing, you can see that it is still a little brighter than just now.

"It's a good day, it's a double harvest."

Mariko Nobuta didn't know when she got out of the car. She put her arm on the fat hacker's shoulder, smiled faintly at the corners of her mouth, and looked at the two human skins on the bench like goods.

The banshee suddenly erupted into a low scream, and the cold long sword in her hand stabbed at Nobuta's neck! This thorn was like thunder and lightning, and in the blink of an eye, the tip of the sword was already in front of him. Seeing that Nobuta was about to be pierced, the banshee's sword was frozen in the air. The green flames were surging, and the banshee had clearly done her best. However, at that last inch of distance, it could not break through.

"You want to kill her again?" The fat hacker said angrily to the banshee, "Didn't I say that you weren't allowed to do anything to Nobuta?" ”

Maybe it's because of the book in the fat hacker's hand, and the banshee can't disobey his will at all. There was no need to say it, as long as it was a glance in the eyes, or even a thought in the head, the banshee had to stop the attack.

"Dean Kuroki," Shinda Mariko looked at the banshee with a smile and disdain, "it must be painful for a pious person like you to be transformed into a banshee, right?" The source of the power of the Banshee of Pain is these two words, and it seems that you are really the most suitable person. ”

The banshee glared at Nobuta, her flaming eyes under her hood: "I swear, I will kill you with my own hands!" Its voice was low and hoarse, as if it carried untold pain, "You shouldn't have forced me to kill those children—"

Smack, the fat hacker closed the book. Before the banshee's words could be finished, they had already disappeared into thin air. "This pain banshee, it really works." He stretched out his fat palm and gave a thumbs up.

"It's easy to use," Nobuta smiled, poking the fat hacker's forehead, "When did I lie to you." ”

The black Lexus drove away, and the fog gradually cleared.
