Chapter 51: The Longest Night (3)
"It's you."
"It's me."
"You're here."
"I'm coming."
"You shouldn't have come."
"I'm already here."
"Nonsense, you know what it means for you to be here?! I'm doomed, she only has you, and among all the children, she is looking forward to you the most! ”
Hearing this angry rebuke, Zheng Li under the mask breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, this is already an old stalk before he was born, and he has forgotten how to answer the next lines.
As for what Jiang Haiyi said, if he hadn't thought it through a long time ago, how could he be standing here.
He pondered for a moment before continuing.
"If I didn't help you secretly, you would have been arrested a long time ago, especially if the frequency is too fast recently, the criminal investigation forces of the whole city have begun to invest, if there are no imitators who involve the police, and if I don't help you mislead the direction of the investigation, you will definitely be in the net."
"I know. From the historical record file I picked up in the dojo of the 'Righteous Murderer', I knew you knew. I'm just a little confused and want to ask, when did you know, and where did you know?"
The words were very tongue-twisting, but Zheng Li understood, and in order to avoid becoming an "ancient dragon" again, he said very directly.
"From where that stupid woman. That day, she came to us in a hurry and told us that she had a good night's sleep yesterday and that her physical condition might be improving, and I found that the situation was wrong. The next thing was just a matter of touching the vine, only that single-celled fool thought that pie would fall from the sky, and pulled me to drink two more glasses. ”
Zheng Li shrugged his shoulders, whether it was Xie Ying or Sister Yinzi, they were too pure in a sense, they would not suspect the people around them at all, let alone their own families.
The completely broken container, if it is suddenly filled with water, is foreign no matter how you look at it, and only the magic sword can absorb the life force of the victim and forcibly renew the life of Sister Yinzi.
Fortunately, both of them are not good at doubting their families, with Xie Ying's consistent ability, he should have been exposed a long time ago, and being able to cover it up to this day is already beyond expectations.
also thanks to his rare stupidity, it has dragged on to this day, the legend of the righteous decapitator has taken shape, and the success rate of the plan has increased a lot.
"Why do you want to come, if you know! Do you know what I'm going to do?! How dare you be directly implicated in this kind of thing, I thought you were smart enough! ”
"Heh, apparently I'm not smart enough, as for what happened to you....... The best is the best, the success rate is less than 5%, you, as the only spirit blade of Sister Yinzi, successfully dragged her into the myth by force, whether you can cure Yinzi or not, you are definitely finished. ”
On a certain level, Zheng Li still admires Jiang Haiyi's consciousness a little, and gambles everything for the possibility of a family's survival.
"Our society does not need to allow such mythical creatures to be born, let alone exist. Time Migration City will report to the Human Council after confirming the information, and the Council will notify the Four Spirits to carry out the punishment, and within forty-eight hours at the earliest, you will be 'removed' by the Four Spirits, squeezing out the entire Spirit Blade System, breaking the oath with the Sword Master and the Spirit Blade, and everything will be zero. Oh, this is the meaning of the existence of the Four Spirits system, after all, there have been too many betrayals. ”
As far as Zheng Li knew, the Four Spirits and Spirit Blade System were not the first supernatural power systems of human beings, nor were they the fastest growing, not even the highest.
It's just that in the end, I chose this path because it is the most stable overall, and the strong and socially dependent are the highest.
The strong need the weak, and the weak can become the strong, and this kind of mechanism is the most able to unite all the forces and move forward as a whole.
"Black myths that favor the negative are allowed, but once a black myth like mine is established, there will inevitably be countless imitators, and the social unrest will last for years, so even if it succeeds, it is only a matter of time before I am erased from the roots."
The cruelest words came from the mouth of the calm demon blade, and from the moment he set foot on this road, he already knew that this was the best end.
No, to be precise, he only thought about becoming a magic blade at first, killing a few bastards who were wasting food to live, and draining life force to keep silver alive...... At the very least, it was possible to make her walk a little more comfortably.
But often walking by the river, how can you not get your feet wet, it is still only a matter of time before it is discovered, everyone knows that sooner or later, the blood-stained demon blade will perish.
If it weren't for the "justice" attribute of the righteous decapitation demon, which made the investigators a little slack and prevarication, perhaps he would have been arrested before he destroyed himself.
Now there is a glimmer of hope for a complete cure of silver, thanks to the historical file of the "Decapitation Demon Incident" that he picked up in the dojo....... In this way, coming to this scene by himself is really the result of the guidance of the person in front of him.
"It seems that I should thank you, at least now the possibility is not zero. When you come to see me now, you must have something to say to me, and you want to use me. Yes, as long as I can do it, say it. ”
"Oh, that's surprising me. I always thought you were on guard against me. ”
"yes, that's I don't know what the hell you want. Now that you're here, it's only for the money, so feel free to use me. ”
"Tut-tut, you don't really have a crush on Sister Yinzi, do you? Give it up, it's no fun, her daughter was able to play soy sauce decades ago. ”
"Sure enough, he's still a little kid, everything is related to love, and the weight of his family is not on the same scale as that at all."
"Of course I do, my family ......"
Zheng Li waved his hand in annoyance, but was interrupted coldly by Jiang Haiyi.
"You don't understand. You know it wouldn't be here. Yinzi's expectations for you are more than the other apprentices combined, and you really think that a rabbit who has only known each other for a short time has a lot of weight. Xie Ying's ceiling is there, and you're ....... You're finished, and she really has no hope at all. Do you know what she talks about the most every day when we get along? ”
"'Xiao Zheng Li is like this', 'Xiao Zheng Li is like that', 'Xiao Zheng Li can you get me a title of Hou Yi back', 'Xiao Zheng Li's talent is really an intelligence processing class', let's talk about it, have you seriously responded to her expectations."
"She sees you as your closest family, what do you see her as, a stupid woman with overflowing motherhood? Do you treat her as family and show her all your truth in front of her? What exactly are you afraid of, what is it that keeps you from even telling the truth? ”
Zheng Li opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, and in the end, he could only shake his head and squeeze out a sentence.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. If you don't believe me, I haven't killed a living being. The portrait of the suspect in the task force is also a big guy who has started his quasi-mythical combat power, and I am a rookie who has been shortlisted for the novice competition, and it is very difficult to buckle his hat. ”
Seeing Zheng Li take the initiative to change the topic, Jiang Haiyi shook his head, and had no intention of following up, after all, their relationship was just like that, and if it wasn't for Sister Yinzi as a link, they couldn't talk about it at all.
"That's not the secret police style I know. Just because you're in the same place as me, they'll kill you without hesitation. ”
Zheng Li shrugged his shoulders and did not continue to answer.
The two were silent, waiting....... At the scene of the murder, waiting next to the corpse.
Outside, there was already a faint sound of alarm bells, and outside the window, there was a clattering flash.
Not only did the police come, but the victim's face was exposed during the live broadcast, and there must have been insiders who said their names, many netizens who are not afraid of death are close, and their lives are important to the live broadcast.
Jiang Haiyi didn't know what Zheng Li deliberately kept here for, but as he said, "As long as you want to use me for the sake of the common ultimate goal, feel free to use me." ”
And as more and more cameras focus on this body, he also vaguely has feelings and guesses.
Zheng Li spoke, and it changed to a mechanical synthesized sound again.
"The Righteous Killer, a fictional mythical character, is a concept that needs a directional goal to make it come true. And this live broadcast, as well as the outside footage, have made more and more people recognize that 'you are the righteous decapitator', and this concept focuses on you. ”
"Heroic feats, mythological deeds, ...... next?"
"Please Mr. 'Justice Decapitator', in front of the camera, to fulfill your justice and complete your great deeds and legends. And you know, for most of us humans, there's nothing more righteous than killing our old enemies, the Artels. And I happen to know that in the Golden Sea Rock Trading Market not far away, there are such a group of elite Attel warriors, and several of them are 'heroes' on the battlefield, and their hands have countless lives. ”
"They are still there at this time because they are guarding something important, which is the treasure of our relocation city, please take it back for us. By the way, put this on top. We want more people to recognize your 'justice'. ”
A simple cross-shaped artificial spirit weapon was inlaid with two spirit crystals, which was obviously a special artificial spirit weapon handmade, and Jiang Haiyi put it away directly without asking.
He picked up the bowstring and walked slowly to the gate, facing the camera outside, silently walking south.
And behind him, there is also an additional live broadcast watch shot that has just been opened, and the live broadcast room of "Justice Decapitation Demon Online Beheading" exploded instantly, the main drama started, and the number of people online increased dramatically.
There was already chaos outside. The police cars are loosely blocked, the local police who are hiding behind are squatting and shouting, the enthusiastic spectators on the side are constantly flashing, and you can even see support signs such as "The decapitator is so handsome".
He walked slowly towards the crowd, but the crowd slowly parted and retreated.
Suddenly, with a jump, he flew directly over the police car, rising and falling back and forth between the corridors, and the flying beam stepped over the wall to the next target, Friendship Avenue in the prosperous neighborhood of Bailu District.
It is the most famous spiritual material trading market in the whole city, and it is also the starting point of the Whale Incident.
And Zheng Li, who was still in the room, laughed at himself and disappeared into the shadows as well.
"Heh, what am I afraid of? I'm scared, quite a lot. But after today, there is probably no need to be afraid. ”
---------

"Smack!"
A basin of ice water was splashed on Xie Ying's head, causing him to wake up suddenly.
He subconsciously got up, only to find that he had been tied to a bench, and there were only candles in the room, and around him were colleagues who were eyeing him.
Due to the sudden power outage and chaos, the Ninth Department of Discipline Inspection was unable to bring Xie Ying back from Bailu District to Qiufeng District, and in order to avoid accidents, they temporarily requisitioned a hotel.
Now, the Beheading Demon incident is on fire, and they naturally want to temporarily interrogate the "helper" of the Beheading Demon.
"What time is it?"
But Xie Ying, who was wet all over, said that the first thing he said was to question.
"I said, what time is it?"
In the eagle's eyes, there was a sharp gaze, and he instantly grasped the situation, and frowned dissatisfied.
"Haven't you figured out where you stand? You're a suspect now! ”
Hu Yisaki crossed her waist and said triumphantly, she is a popular fried chicken who has just made meritorious contributions.
But the suspect ignored him, just stared at a corner of the room.
There, someone is opening the live broadcast room of the "Decapitation Demon", in which the Decapitator is killing and killing.
The head and limbs of the Attel man flew together, and looking at the gesture of the colleague clenching his fist and applauding was obviously very politically incorrect.
But judging from the looks of most of the black armbands watching the play with a smile, such "incorrectness" is probably "correct" in a sense, and even, justice.
But seeing this scene, Xie Ying exploded in an instant, his ability was detonated again, and countless inspirations flashed through his mind.
Why are there so many Attel mercenaries and soldiers in the Golden Sea Rock Market? Among them was also the military attache of the embassy, why didn't he go to prison with the ambassador? Could it be that there is something here that is more important than ambassadors and god bones........ By the way, god bones?!
When he saw the Beheader push away the corpses that stood in his way and place a psionic activator on a silver shipping container, all his thoughts exploded.
"The psionic activator can only activate spiritual materials, what does he mean by putting it there........ Holy, god bones? Bastard, we've all been tricked by that Atte, we don't know what the bones really look like, the one in prison might just be a fake! The god bone, the god bone, shouldn't have been able to put it in the box in the first place, why didn't anyone question it at the time? ”
If the god bone is so huge, so huge that it can be transformed into a container, it is not easy to move casually, and it can only be guarded by the elite of the Artels, but how does the decapitator know? Where did he get the information?
"Oh, I have a few new customers, who are from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and have recently made a lot of money. Heh, you can change the tire of Firefly again. ”
How much can I pay to change the tires of a super motorhome? That's a lot of business.
"That's your super big business? Zheng Li, did you get involved from the beginning........ No, no, I know the efficiency of those guys in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and most of them were he who guided the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to find the clues of the gods?! Was it he who used intelligence as bait from the beginning to guide all this to happen?! What is he for, and why does he have to enter the city? ”
For what? Such doubts only existed for a second, and in the live broadcast room, the pale green spirit bow held by the decapitator demon told him the answer.
"Haiyi Teacher?! Sister Yinzi? ”
The pale green longbow is no longer limited to the way the sword is used, and there are no survivors in front of the quasi-mythical slayer who is fully open, and the peak demon blade that has absorbed countless life force and spiritual essence.
For the first time, Xie Ying hated his ability so much, it instantly tore up all luck and put the truth in front of him bloodily.
Suddenly, tears silently fell from his cheeks, and Tie Ying had already made a decision and realized it.
What was chosen? Hehe, do you still need to ask, if there is a second possibility, Zheng Li will do such a desperate thing?
In the room, the sweet girl's voice in the past was harsh.
"Ha, you see, always blow with me, this iron eagle is just a name, just realize that he was caught, and when he is finished, he cried."
Xie Ying didn't even look at her, and when the tears fell to him, when he raised his head, his face had returned to his previous plainness and indifference.
"Zheng Li, someone else?"
"Zheng Li? Uh, are you going to retaliate against the whistleblower? Ah, I shouldn't have said that. ”
I really can't stand it, my colleagues pulled the stupid tiger down, no one is a fool, especially the battle-hardened black armband, and now some people vaguely feel that the situation is not right.
Xie Ying was silent for a moment, and then said the truth, a conspiracy deduced by the ability, a fact that Zheng Li expected someone to say.
"Now, no matter what happens, you can't kill Zheng Li. It's just that the bone powder contaminated with the breath of the whale can attract so many whales, and once the whale god bone is activated, a super catastrophe will definitely occur, and it may even be a space earthquake that destroys the entire city. At this time, we can't ....... You must not kill the current acting head of Bailu District, Zheng Li! ”
At the same time, in some dark corner, looking at the scene of the massacre not far away, Zheng Li was holding a small white token, which was a small gift he had exchanged from the ghost shopkeeper not long ago.
"The White Dew Order of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms (Chapter 39 has appeared)? The warrant spirit weapon of the mayor of Bailu District? Twenty-four town guards and the city's covenants? That's it? ”
