In the room, Zhou Li carefully looked at the whole body of the weapon, and finally noticed that there was a line of subtle gold-painted inscriptions on the tail of its butt.

A handwritten signature by the craftsman who made it, along with a message.

“carpediem？”

Zhou Li stroked the small line of handwriting, and couldn't help laughing: "Have fun in time?" ”

Does this mean that the user wants to seek pleasure in killing, or does it mean that the sinner should find the final happiness in the flames of the stake?

It's fun, and hopefully it's going to be a happy enough revenge.

Laughing in a low voice, his pupils unconsciously lit up with a faint cyan light, and with both hands clenching the barrel and trigger, he raised his weapon seriously and seriously, aiming towards the void.

At that moment, in the reflection of the mirror in the room, there was a cyan light jumping, instantly lighting up the dim horizon.

Immediately after, as the heavy rifle was raised in Zhou Li's hand, the killing intent that hidden the deepest part of Zhou Li's spirit stirred up a cold aura in the artwork.

At a certain moment, the breath of the two joined together, as if they were one.

And in the next moment, Zhou Li felt the 'tree map' above his heart, and he came to life?!

Silver runes revealed from beneath his robe again, and the silver tree diagram silently lit up and spread across his husk...... Like lightning flashing across the night sky, it rushed along his right arm and finally rushed into the 'stake'.

The spirit and will were frantically extracted in an instant, and the 'tree map' guided his spirit to transcend the limitations of his body and rush into the weapon, piercing into it like countless slender roots, spreading!

A bridge was instantly erected between Zhou Li and the 'Burning Frame' by the 'Tree Diagram', on which Zhou Li's spirit turned into a speed of light and galloped, completely fused with the weapon in his hand.

As if suddenly being swept down a waterfall by a river, Zhou Li vaguely saw countless parts and mechanical structures rushing to his face, magnifying, rotating, and turning into vague shadows and merging into his body.

The 'information' that remained at the stake was re-read by the cyan pupils, re-enacting the past they had experienced in front of him.

In an instant, Zhou Li witnessed the birth of the first part that belonged to it, and the appearance of it being assembled from a pair of old palms.

In the next second, he opened his cyan eyes as if he had woken up from a dream, and then felt the pulse of the 'burn at the stake' as if the blood was connected and as one......

A hint of disbelief appeared on Zhou Li's slightly pale expression.

He stared blankly at the alchemy armament in his hand, which seemed to have no change in appearance, and took a breath of cold air in disbelief.

In that moment, it was ...... by itself Assimilated?

……

The night was getting dark, and when the whole world was asleep, someone opened their blue eyes from the darkness.

Silently got up from the bed, and after Zhou Li put on a coat, he silently pulled out the dark suitcase from under the bed.

Lifting the suitcase, he silently pushed open the door and made his way through the silent hallway.

As he passed through Lu Qiaoshui's room, he heard the faint sound of breathing coming from the room, as if he was immersed in a dream.

It's just that Zhou Li wants to know, did her saliva come out this time?

"Don't bite the pillow, I've bitten three of you."

Hearing a strange sound coming from the room, he looked at the door helplessly, and then couldn't help laughing and whispered, "Good night." ”

He turned his head and took another step to stop, never looking back.

Until finally, the figure finally disappeared with the silent closing of the door.

……

Half an hour later, he lifted his face in the dim light of the streetlamps outside the alley and looked at the old railing in front of him.

Outside the alleys, night cars pass by from time to time, bringing about repeated changes in light and shadow.

And in the muffled sound of the car whizzing by, he carried the heavy suitcase on his back, and his body was as nimble as an ape, and he climbed over the railing that had long since begun to decay, and fell on the grass.

Under the light of the faint light outside the wall, Zhou Li raised his head and looked at the barren 'ruins' in front of him.

Behind the fence is an empty flat land, which seems to have not yet had time to be paved with bricks, and in the hazy night, dozens of high-rise buildings look like broken ruins, creating a sense of sadness.

Chaoyang District Anju Community -- A tofu slag project left by the previous leadership team that devoured tens of millions of yuan was unfinished.

The supply of funds was stopped before the construction was completed, and the project, which was not yet halfway underway, had to be abruptly stopped.

Due to the fact that the old city has no economic value, and the transportation is extremely inconvenient, and with the introduction of the 'Regulations on the Protection of Ancient Buildings', even real estate merchants are reluctant to take over the development of its surplus value, so they can only lead it to keep this incomplete appearance and slowly decay.

At some point, it has become a wasteland of concrete ruins in the aging city of Dongcheng.

Even after two years, there are still traces of the hasty departure of the construction company.

Originally, those dilapidated rough buildings have long been shaped into a secret little stronghold by wild children, but after a homeless man here was killed by his peers for grabbing steamed buns last year, no parents dared to let their children come here.

As a result, it has become a no-man's land, a paradise for wandering beasts.

However, there is no other place in the entire Dong-Cheng District that can have such a good geographical advantage, so that Zhou Li can overlook half of the city.

In the darkness that was so dim that he couldn't see his feet clearly, Zhou Li walked forward with the faint cyan light in his pupils, bypassing the obstacles on the ground, and finally stopped in front of the fence.

Looking up at the fence blocking the road, he smiled slightly, took out the iron tongs that had been prepared long ago from the tool bag behind his back, and clenched his hands tightly......

Immediately afterward, a tooth-aching distorted sound came from the night, which finally turned into a crisp cracking sound.

In just half a minute, the chains, already covered with rust, broke under the iron tongs and fell to the ground.

The rotten iron gate was pushed open with a slightly shrill sound, and Zhou Li shook off the rust that had fallen into his neck from above, and squinted his eyes into the dark and broken building.

Half a minute later, his figure appeared at the highest point of the entire construction site, at the top of the shattered floor.

Stepping on the cracked ground beneath his feet, Zhou Li's footsteps stopped at the edge of the broken slab, and his toes kicked the gravel on the ground, causing it to slide from the sky and fall to the ground with a crisp sound.

A frightening height, falling enough to shatter one's bones between layers of ruins and masonry and steel bars.

"This is it."

In the cold wind at high altitude in winter, Zhou Li suddenly laughed, put down the box behind him, and raised his head to look down on the deep night at a height of more than fifty meters.

As a result, most of the sleeping old city is in the eyes.

In Zhou Li's cyan pupils, they seemed to be close at hand.

In the second half of the night, the shopping street has begun to close for the most part, and the road is silent under the dim light of the street lights......

I don't know when it began, the whole city of Shangyang seems to be divided into two parts.

On both sides of the river that runs through the city, on one side is the old town with its history and decay, and on the other side is the ever-changing new city and science and technology park.

As the economic center of gravity and the municipal government move out of the old city, the entire east city will slowly decay and be slowly eaten away by the expansion of the new city.

But now, it's still a growing security zone for the police department.

Words such as old and decay always appear at the same time as words such as darkness and chaos, and the people in the old city are more and more mixed with the flow of people and the continuous birth of gangs.

Just as cities need sewers and garbage heaps, every city needs a place to accommodate those who can't survive under the 'righteous light', whether the name is 'Kowloon Walled City' or 'Thirteen Districts', the meaning itself is the same.

This is the dark side of every city, the inevitable scabies brought about by rapid development.

And this is also the reason why Zhou Li chose here.

He has already inquired, and in the past few days, there have been many serial murders here, although the police have blocked the news and kept suppressing it, but the message has still spread among the citizens.

Man-eating monsters, man-eating beasts, or collective mad wolfdogs...... Rumors such as these are always circulating between people's word of mouth.

You only need to talk to the boss when you buy a pack of cigarette rolls in the commissary, and you will hear that there are many kinds.

Some people may think that this is just a rumor or a strange story, but after hearing the news, Zhou Li understood that this was the truth.

Man-eating beasts...... It's really in the dark of the night.

"A complete monster...... Is it? ”

Zhou Li recalled the words of the talisman in the air, slowly opened the box beside him, and took out the heavy rifle - 'Burning Rack' from it.

Leaning against the broken wall, his fingers pulled a heavy steel-core bullet out of the leather compartment and reloaded it into the chamber from behind.

Silently, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a sneer.

Between the dim moonlight and the shadows of the walls, two faint bits of cyan light in his pupils were like ghostly fires, overlooking the dark city, and a low murmur spread in the cold wind.

"If you're not afraid of death, just come out and have a look."
