According to the incomplete statistics of the current garrison, the number of new corpses in the imperial capital last night has reached more than 80. There were no visible injuries on the bodies, and there were no obvious illnesses, and the cause of death could not be determined at this time.

In fact, such a number of corpses in a place like the imperial capital, it is still very unnoticeable, the imperial capital is very populous, and the number of people who die naturally every day far exceeds this data, but the most critical problem is that the death characteristics of these corpses are all natural deaths in heavy rain.

This is amazing, who is going to die, and still wearing a raincoat to wait for death in the heavy rain?

After the street alarm was called, the various garrison branches sent personnel to the scene, handled the ordinary death investigation, and reported the cases to the garrison headquarters according to the regulations.

Originally, everyone didn't pay attention, but it didn't take long for the headquarters of the garrison to receive more than 80 such cases, which immediately attracted the attention of the headquarters. After research, the garrison decided to put these cases together for investigation.

When An Xiaoyu got the news, she also got up in the morning, and it was reported on the news, and warned that in the recent evening, the public should not go out alone. In order to see the scene, An Xiaoyu also deliberately took a detour to the nearest crime site.

When they arrived at the scene, there was no crowd watching the excitement next to the scene, after all, the people in the imperial capital were not so idle, not to mention that many people were numb to the death of the dead these days, and they had no other thoughts in their hearts except to listen to the warnings of the guards.

Standing outside the cordon, An Xiaoyu looked at the situation inside, but the corpse had just been sent away, leaving only a clearing, and there was some strange aura left in the clearing. An Xiaoyu sniffled, feeling a little disgusting.

The smell that remained at the scene was like the smell of rotten wood and burning proteins, but these smells were obviously only smelled by people with sensitive senses like An Xiaoyu, and they were very small. But the taste is very special.

An Xiaoyu always felt that this smell was a little familiar, but she couldn't think of where she had smelled it, or the Eastern Wilderness, or the Western Border? But in short, it won't be in the imperial capital.

Thinking of this, An Xiaoyu's eyes narrowed slightly, this heavy rain has covered up a lot of breath, except for the signal of the smell, the other party has not left any traces, even if it is left, it has been washed away by this rain, so that An Xiaoyu can't find the other party's place of origin and destination along the breath.

I thought it was just to come and see the excitement, but I actually found out a little, An Xiaoyu didn't bother, flew into the sky and walked a few more scenes, and then found that there was such a smell left in each scene. These tastes may be the same, or with a slight deviation, An Xiaoyu came to the Three Thousand Academy and called He Dong.

When He Dong went to receive the call, he was visiting the families of the victims in the rain. They confirmed the identity of the deceased as soon as they brought back the body, they were all ordinary citizens, and many of them did not have any serious medical history.

After contacting their families, the garrison began to investigate their course of movement and what they had done and what they had said the previous night, in order to find something in common with these people, or to find some useful clues about the murders.

Seeing An Xiaoyu calling, He Dong went to a quiet corner and asked, "Shaozun?" What's the matter? In out of the field. ”

An Xiaoyu was amused: "You are the head team of a branch, and you actually came out of the scene?" ”

He Dong went helplessly: "What corps, what branch headquarters, you also know now, the situation of the garrison is not good, as soon as Chu Tianwai appears, the cooperation between the Four Lives Alliance and us will be terminated immediately, and now the garrison is to be cautious whenever there is a little trouble, and the corps and ordinary team members are used as dogs." ”

Hearing He Dong's complaint, An Xiaoyu didn't express any opinions, but said: "There were more than 80 murders last night, I went to the scene just now, and there was some strange smell at the scene, because of the heavy rain, it was almost washed away, and ordinary people can't smell it, you go and adjust some instruments to check it." ”

"Really?" He Donggo suddenly groaned, as if he was thinking about where to go for help.

An Xiaoyu suddenly reminded: "The action must be fast, this rain will soon wash away the last traces, and it is best to analyze the substances that leave the smell at each scene." ”

"Every single one?" It was even more difficult for He Dong to go, where did he get so many high-end instruments?

"It's best to look into each one, because I feel that there is a slight difference in the smell of many scenes, although the difference is not very big, but this difference is very strange, just like the difference between one number and another, there is a certain pattern, you know what I mean?"

"You mean that these more than 80 cases are likely to be the same series of cases by different people with the same characteristics?"

"It's just a suspicion for the time being, these have to wait until you finish investigating, if you can't find anyone who can help you, you can go to Jiudaoguan? Okay, I'm in class. After An Xiaoyu finished speaking, she hung up the phone and stepped on the class bell to return to the classroom.

Leng Yan whispered, "What does it have to do with the morning?" ”

An Xiaoyu turned on the light screen on the table and nodded slightly: "Very strange thing." ”

"yes, who would go out into the rain like yesterday and look for death? And these people can't be sucked out of their souls, right? There was no injury on his body at all, and he died directly. Leng Yan couldn't help but say.

The teacher on the stage glared at Leng Yan fiercely, so frightened that he didn't dare to speak anymore, and honestly lowered his head to look at the textbook and take notes seriously.

But An Xiaoyu's eyes were in a trance, and the cold words suddenly made her realize something she hadn't realized before. It seems that because of the dispute between the worlds, An Xiaoyu has always attributed everything that happened in the imperial capital to the operation of cultivators.

She realized that such an idea was fundamentally a misunderstanding. Who decreed that everything during the Great Worlds War was done by human practitioners? What if these people really died after being sucked out of their spirits? After all, An Xiaoyu has never seen the corpse, and she has not seen the state of the divine soul.

Thinking of this, An Xiaoyu felt that she really should take a look at the bodies of these deceased.

If this is the case, then it is likely that it is not the Terrans who do these things. Or some strange creature, or one of the primeval races. As long as there are relevant clues, it is possible to find out their purpose and the cause of death of the deceased.

While thinking about it, while listening to the teacher's class, An Xiaoyu's heart became more and more affirmative.

During the lunch break, when he walked out of the classroom, An Xiaoyu saw Xu Hewei also coming out of the classroom next door, the two of them said hello, and Xu Hewei said: "You are looking for a good job for us, I just said a few days ago that we are absolutely neutral, and you asked the garrison to cooperate with us." ”

An Xiaoyu smiled: "What's so bad about this?" Although you are absolutely neutral, and the mecha world is as stable as a dog, you also know that the mecha will involve the Military Commission, and the Military Commission will involve the innovation of the Military Commission, and the innovation is now linked to the battle of the world. ”

"Okay, okay, I can't talk about you." Xu Hewei said: "It just so happens that I'm going to the garrison, it's raining so heavily outside, if you want to go, take me with you." ”

"Well, I just happened to be going to check it out." An Xiaoyu and Xu Hewei walked out of the teaching building side by side, and when they walked out, they set up a layer of energy shield by their side, and the energy shield also carried some energy of the law of the water system, absorbing the power of the law from the rain, and using these energies to support the shield, it almost didn't take a little effort.

Xu Hewei asked, "What do you think?" ”

"First of all, what did your people gain by helping the guard team investigate those strange smells? I always feel that the smell is a little familiar, what is the smell of something? ”

"If you want to say familiar, it's really familiar. When we were on the western frontier, we could often see that kind of thing, flying around at night. ”

"Really?"

"The moth has a child, and the moth bears it. You've probably heard of it, right? It's a classic ancient poem. Xu Hewei said: "It's a small green bug, which is a moth." The moth is a kind of bee that often catches the moth's insects into its nest, lays eggs in the body of the worm, and after the eggs hatch, the larvae grow up on the moths as food. The ancients thought that the moth was infertile, so they brought the moth home and raised their own children. ”

"Then you say this smell is the smell of moths?" An Xiaoyu was clear, but she couldn't remember when she had seen this kind of bug.

"You've always liked to read, but you don't like to read biology books, and most of them focus on social phenomena, science and technology, mythical stories, and historical literature, so you don't know much about it. If that taste is the smell of moths, that's right, it's not right. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The ancients said that the moth is the kind of little green worm. But you also know that bugs will always change, and they won't always be bugs. When they grow up, they form cocoons and pupate, or become moths, or become butterflies, or become all kinds of strange things. ”

"Wow......" An Xiaoyu suddenly shuddered: "I'm not good at dealing with this kind of thing, moths, butterflies or something." ”

"Haha!" Xu Hewei found An Xiaoyu's weakness and said with a smile: "There is actually something you are afraid of, no wonder you don't remember what it tastes like." ”

"You mean, that smell comes from moths turned into moths?" An Xiaoyu suddenly suddenly.

Xu Hewei nodded: "Moths are actually a general term that was not divided into subjects in ancient times, in fact, this kind of moth is divided into many categories, and you will be very familiar with these names, such as rice worms, such as noctuidae." And the smell you smell is the same as the number of servings of noctuidae. ”

An Xiaoyu suddenly felt a little disgusted, and her face changed: "That's right." ”

"What's right?" Xu Hewei asked.

"I just guessed if these things were not done by humans, and now it seems that maybe they were not done by humans, maybe they are some strange creatures, or one of the primeval races, do you have any ideas?"

Xu Hewei suddenly thought of a terrible picture in his mind, the huge moth pounced on a person's back in the heavy rain, and then opened and closed his mouth, and the person's soul was sucked into the moth's stomach, and then the moth put down the body and left.

"What you're saying is disgusting." He couldn't help but say.

An Xiaoyu shook her head: "It's this thing that is already disgusting, right?" ”

"Then according to what you said, if this thing is really done by some strange guy, then the garrison will not be bothered? After all, the affairs of foreign races have always been handled by the Military Commission. ”

"It stands to reason that this should be the case, but I still suggest that the garrison be in charge of it to the end, after all, now that the great world of cultivation has opened, the cultivators have begun to become a universal identity, and the primeval races should also become a universal identity, and the responsibilities of the garrison should be broadened, and it should also be extended to this range."

"What do you mean?" Xu Hewei asked.

"Let's help solve this matter together, let the garrison take over the work, and then we can promote the garrison to recruit cultivators to become garrison members, and we can also prevent chaos on the side of the Military Commission. After all, now that Chu Tianwai has appeared, it shouldn't be too late to float, and the imperial capital is about to be in chaos. ”

"My own people are in chaos...... There has to be a half-business. Xu Hewei also thought of this.

"That's right! Martial cultivation and body cultivation are fighting back and forth, there are always some cultivators who don't want to care about who is the protagonist of heaven and earth, they just want to live a good life, isn't it good to come to the garrison? Someone has to maintain normal order, do you expect officers who are already planning to participate in the struggle? ”

With that, the two of them arrived at the branch of the 3000 Academy of the Garrison, and when they entered the door, they saw He Dong's figure walking out. An Xiaoyu noticed that He Dongwen's body still had traces of water that had not dried thoroughly, and these water stains were not rain once or twice.

It seems that He Dong is also working hard.

After walking in, An Xiaoyu asked, "Is there any result?" ”

He Dong nodded: "Master Xu should have told you, right?" This is the smell of noctuida, and according to the clues you gave, we have distinguished the different flavors of each different scene, according to the material structure, and the particles that form these flavors remain, each flavor is the same, it is nineteen groups. ”

"Nineteen groups?" An Xiaoyu pondered, as if she had caught some clue.

As he spoke, He Dong turned on the light screen, and a long graphic with nineteen segments immediately appeared on the light screen, representing the smell information composed of nineteen groups of material particles. Each paragraph is marked with a different substance name, and there is a dense pile.

"The difference between these smells lies in the slight difference in the composition of the substance on one or more segments, or some small differences, or there are essential differences in the whole segment, just like ......"

"It's like an ID number." Ann whispered.

He Dong nodded: "Yes, it's like the number of identity information, a nineteen-digit piece of information, each of which has a different coding form, and changing the smell code of a certain segment will change their identity characteristics, a very primitive form of identity number." ”

"Are there any aliens who use this information number as identification?" An Xiaoyu asked.

Xu Hewei interjected and said: "The information about the primeval clan has always been closed, and there is no specific information on the garrison's side. But as far as I know, there should be a lot of alien races that use this smell number, after all, the He team just said that it is a very primitive form of identity number. ”

"Is there anything that resembles a noctuida?" An Xiaoyu asked.

"We'll have to check it, and if we do, we'll have to report it. If the garrison wants to cut off the beard, it has to follow up with the application, and then have to get the relevant experts to cooperate with the investigation, otherwise the matter will almost be in vain. Xu He said.

He Donggo was stunned when he heard this, and quickly asked, "What are you talking about?" The matter involves the primeval Wan clan, shouldn't it be handed over to the Military Commission for handling according to the usual operation? Why did the garrison cut off the beard? That's not what we're up for! ”

"Cultivators, if you want to take care of it, the primeval races don't want to take care of it?" An Xiaoyu smiled and asked, "How can this work?" ”

He Donggo was stunned for a long time, then turned his head honestly and said, "I'll call the headquarters." ”

An Xiaoyu and Xu Hewei glanced at each other, and suddenly their faces were gloomy, looking at the heavy rain outside, An Xiaoyu said: "If this matter is really done by one of the primeval clans, their purpose will never be so simple, and it will never stop there." ”

Xu Hewei nodded in agreement: "The purpose of killing people in the primeval races is actually very simple, it is nothing more than three kinds: racial struggle, survival interests, and gaining power. Human beings are the blood food of the best choice for the primeval races stipulated by the Heavenly Dao, and the power obtained from eating people is considerable. ”

"Tonight looks like it's really another weird night, I have a hunch, as I said before, the weird atmosphere in the imperial capital is likely to be related to this incident. If this is really the case, I think that this is definitely not the only alien race that appears in the imperial capital, they are just the beginning. ”

Xu Hewei opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

He Donggo walked over with a bitter face and said: "The headquarters also means the same, saying that let's try our best to investigate, the captain has already gone to the top to apply for cooperation, and he said that it is still very possible to hand over this matter to the garrison." ”

An Xiaoyu smiled: "You should be happy, and I have a suggestion for you, you can apply to call on the third order of cultivation families to cooperate with the investigation, there are always a few families who are unwilling to follow the trend in the general trend, if you can give them a safe haven, it will be the merit of thousands of generations." ”

"It's easy to say." He Donggo sighed.

"In short, within the scope of the southeast city, the trajectory will still cooperate with the garrison, our trajectory is a mercenary organization, as long as you take care of it accordingly, we will honestly cooperate with you to investigate all the things, anyway, we don't do Naxi's dirty business."

"Are you really good at bragging about your underground organization in front of one of my branch headquarters like this?"

An Xiaoyu laughed twice: "Now this imperial capital, above ground and underground, is there a difference?" ”
