The development of S city is a miracle, a miracle belonging to country Z. As the first city of GK, S City has created too many myths that cannot be surpassed in urban development, and it is also synonymous with the speed of construction.

But it is also precisely because the construction speed of S City has exceeded the imagination of the plan implementers, resulting in many plans and plans not having the expected effect. The building, which is stylishly planned and serves as a benchmark, is already behind before it is finished. Among them, Peng Yue Building is a product of this situation.

As one of the first super-tall buildings to be built, the area where the Pengyue Tower is located was supposed to be the second engine to lead the development in response to the twin cores of the city's central area. However, with the rapid and terrifying construction speed of S City, it soon lost its original competitiveness. In a few years, this skyscraper gradually faded out of people's sight.

Compared with the bustling and lively rest of the world, this area is slightly deserted. Although S City is at a premium, there is absolutely no reason to leave valuable land vacant. But the people who rent this area back and forth are always tepid companies, and after dark, there is no overtime and brilliant lights. The whole building was dark and dreary, with only a few floors of rooms showing a somewhat monotonous brilliance.

Yu Qian showed the doorman his ID and entered the building easily. The sleepy-eyed security guard just glanced at the two casually, handed the large set of keys to Yu Qian, and then turned around and returned to the duty room, without the desire to cooperate with the "police" in the investigation. Walking through the dark corridors, a desolate atmosphere wells up in your heart.

The two of them entered the empty elevator and headed straight to the top floor. If you want to reach the roof, you don't need the key handed over by the security guard, and the iron door with a lot of rust is hidden, and the lock on it has long been lost. Stepping onto the roof, the howling night wind blew through his ears, which made Yu Qian a little unsteady on his feet.

When I looked up, the huge moon hung steadily overhead, as if I could touch it with my hand. Remembering what Ren Yuan said before, the bright moon in front of him was not the real moon, but the independent world of the Moon Lord. On this full moon, which did not show anything unusual, there was still a girl named Moonlight Witch, and suddenly a wonderful feeling surged in Yu Qian's heart.

"I said, have you ever wondered what to do once you miscalculate?" Yu Qian looked at Ren Yuan, who was busy looking around, and asked coldly, "If it wasn't this moonlight witch who built the long needle in Zhao Gou's heart and blessed Nie Pu, wouldn't we have made this trip in vain?" ”

"How can it be for nothing." Ren Yuan's voice was sandwiched by the night wind, and the cold wind came from afar, "Since Nie Pu's father is a ceremony held at night, it means that even if he is not a moonlight witch, the other party will appear at night." No matter which witch we meet, it doesn't make a difference, we just need to find her. ”

"If so, what are you going to do? Arrest her? Yu Qian asked curiously

"Since she can bless ordinary people, she is definitely not a witch in a broad sense. It's a guy who really has mastered the independent reality in a narrow sense, and who has a considerable degree of research and understanding of the alien origin. Ren Yuan paused and said, "If it's not the Moonlight Witch, of course you have to ask her position, even if you can't let her help us, you must not let her hook up with the Advent faction." If you can catch it, you can catch it, and if you can't catch it, it is of course the best to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. ”

"What if it's the Moon Witch?" Yu Qian asked

"Then it's easy." Ren Yuan paused and said, "Or maybe things are very troublesome." ”

Hearing Ren Yuan's strange words that were obviously contradictory, Yu Qian was suddenly confused, "Is that simple, or troublesome?" ”

"It depends on how far things go." Ren Yuan straightened up, glanced around with a puzzled face, and said to himself, "It's weird, it's weird, are they really holding a ceremony on the top of this building?" I couldn't find any traces. ”

"It's not surprising that after all these years, nothing has been left behind, right?" Yu Qian said: "After so many years of wind and sun, I am afraid that any traces are not obvious." ”

"Why, are you a child's graffiti? There is a large ceremony to communicate with traditional witches, and even if the person who performs the ceremony is very careful, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no trace. And as long as there are traces left, they cannot be easily dealt with by conventional means. ”

"Shall we look more closely, then?" Yu Qian knew that Ren Yuan was authoritative in this regard, so he didn't refute it, and set off to help take a look.

"You stay away from the building, it's not a little windy here." Ren Yuan reminded

"The rooftops of high-rise buildings are like this, don't worry, I'll be careful." Yu Qian held a police flashlight and looked at the ground inch by inch, and asked, "What do you mean when you say you want to see how things go?" ”

"You all saw it next door when I was interrogating that girl, right?" Ren Yuan thought for a moment and said slowly, "Do you remember, she said how her father prepared the ceremony?" ”

"Remember, what's wrong?"

"She said that her father was a follower of the Ommova sect, but the ritual process she said was not the method of the Ommova sect." Ren Yuan said: "The magic circle drawn by the Ommowa sect is more like a woman's womb. Moreover, the ritual processes of the Ommova sect, which advocate desire and prosperity, also have a clear shadow of cathartic desire. ”

"If you follow the process of the Ommova sect, there is a high probability that what happened that night was a scene of father-daughter incest." Ren Yuan shook his head and said, "But judging from Nie Pu's description, the main point of the ritual is sacrifice, sacrifice and flame worship. If she wasn't lying, this was clearly Zoroastrian style. ”

"It's... Could it be that Nie Pu's father was a follower of the Zoroastrian sect, but when he told his daughter, he lied that he was an Ommova sect? Yu Qian speculated

"Is there any value in that? The girl herself is not a believer in Adventism, and if she wants to hide the information that she is a Zoroastrian believer, then why not tell the child at all? Why make up your own identity? Ren Yuan vetoed" Nie Pu's knowledge of that world comes from her father, and it doesn't have to be so complicated to deceive her. ”

"Then it seems that Nie Pu's father may be an apostate, right?" Yu Qianfu guessed again, "Nie Pu said that before her father died, he burned all the notes and canons, and said that these were the source of disasters that should not be lived. He told his daughter that he was a member of the Ommova sect, but did not teach her anything. It seems that he has more negative feelings about his own denomination. ”

"It's quite possible, and it's probably a little more complicated." Ren Yuan agrees with this assumption: "I suspect that Nie Pu's mother may be a victim of the Ommova sect. And in the process, Nie Pu's father found out in conscience and escaped from the sect with her mother. ”

"As for dystocia or something, it may not be as simple as it seems." Ren Yuan sneered, "Once in the hands of the advent faction, if you don't die, you will lose your skin." Even the reason why Nie Pu was born with a critical illness is afraid that it is related to what happened to her mother. In order to keep her alive, her father took the risk and obtained the blessing of the witch for his daughter, and passed the curse on himself. As a result, he sacrificed his life to let Nie Pu survive. ”

"What this father did is also great." Yu Qian couldn't help but admire

", what a good thing it would be for someone to join the Ommova sect." Ren Yuan said ill-intentionedly, "I suspect that he has created too many evils, and I am afraid that he will be ruined." Accidentally found that the sacrifice was pregnant with his own flesh and blood, and then the idea of apostasy was born. ”

"I said you, don't you want to be so dark in your mind? The story of a good father who sacrificed for his daughter, how can it be so unpleasant to hear in your mouth. Yu Qian, who was also a father, was very able to understand Nie Pu's father's feelings, and couldn't help but retort, "Haven't you ever been a father?" But yes, even if a person like you becomes a father, I am afraid that he has no conscience. ”

"Who are you talking to about conscience, how can I have that kind of thing?" Ren Yuan said with a hippie smile, "I have never been a father, so I can't understand it." But I know what kind of organization the Ommova sect is, and there were many followers in this sect back then. Whether Nie Pu is her father's seed or not is another matter. Oh no, hehe. ”

"Okay, okay, don't hehe." Yu Qian took the lead in stopping this topic that made him a little uncomfortable, turned his head and asked, "It seems that there are really some special traces, have you found any new clues?" ”

"No, I don't think this is the place where Nie Pu's father met the witch at all." Ren Yuan straightened up, raised his eyes and looked around, there were two other skyscrapers similar to Peng Yue Building. It has become a three-legged momentum, supporting this quiet night sky.

"You mean, Nie Pu deceived us?" Yu Qian was stunned

"I don't look like it..."Ren Yuan thought for a moment and said, "It may be her father who lied to her." They did meet the witch in this area, but the ceremony may not have taken place in the Pengyue Mansion. ”

"No, didn't you just say that Nie Pu's father didn't need to lie to her?"

"It depends on something." Ren Yuan spread his hands and said, "In this matter, it is really necessary to lie to her." Perhaps her father knew from the beginning that this would happen one day, so he simply chose to let her remember the wrong address. ”

"So, if the witch's whereabouts are exposed, the impact will be really big, right?" Yu Qian asked, "You said that whether it is serious or not depends on how far things go, but you said that you have been discussing the question of what kind of method his father used for a long time." ”

"Because the clue is here, even if Nie Pu's father had a conflict with the Ommova sect, this is not a reason for him to use the Zoroastrian ritual." Ren Yuan said with an analogy, "I ask you, if I tell you. What do you think of a doctor who studies law and chooses to become a doctor to support his family because he hates lawsuits? ”

"These two professions are not next to each other, right?" asked Yu Qian suspiciously

"You're right, not next to each other at all. Since Nie Pu's father was a follower of the Ommova sect, who taught him to use the flames of the Zoroastrian sect to sacrifice? ”

"Is this hard to learn?" Yu Qian asked curiously

"It's not just the difficulty, the ritual of the Adventist sect is, to put it bluntly, to communicate and contact with different sources, and then invoke anomalous technology. It is countless times more difficult than ants relying on their own behavior to guide humans. Ren Yuan said in a deep voice, "Without the cooperation and guidance of senior personnel, there is no strict and cautious operation process, and it is simply a fool's dream to want to succeed at one time." ”

"If it's an alien like me, it's better to say that her father is just an Adventist mortal believer with no independent reality, and it's unbelievable that he can perform such a large-scale ritual on his own. You must know that for him, maybe a wrong step in the ritual will lead to destruction. ”

"You mean, there were Zoroastrians that night?" Yu Qian asked

Ren Yuan nodded and said

"It's not as simple as a father saving his daughter."
