Passing through the outermost concrete wall of the room, Chen Xian's eyes are greeted by a deep laneway.

In addition to the natural cracks that can be seen everywhere on the dark and old walls, there are all kinds of small advertisements that are common in the streets and alleys, and those mottled traces that have been left by time are enough to set off the old housing area, perhaps it was built more than the old Luoguxiang......

"Boss, what do you smell?"

Lu Yisheng followed behind Chen Xian, and when he saw that he had been wrinkling his nose and sniffing something, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"There's a lot of flavor."

Chen Xian said, looked left and right calmly, took a flashlight to illuminate the alley in front of him, and continued to walk forward with Lu Yisheng, saying to Lu Yisheng as if talking to himself, "The smell of mold here is very strong...... There seems to be some kind of heavily rotten taste of meat..... It's like a human ...... And the smell of rust......"

Hearing Chen Xian's intermittent words, although Lu Yisheng was a little confused, he still instinctively shrunk his neck, because he could feel that something was wrong with this place.

It's quiet, eerily quiet.

From the time Chen Xian and the others entered the room until now, there had not been any known danger on the way, but the more this happened, the more uneasy Lu Yisheng became, and he always felt that there was something strange lurking in the shadows nearby.

"Boss...... Are you sure about this case......" Lu Yisheng followed behind Chen Xian, tightly tugging on the straps of his backpack, and said in a particularly low voice, "I feel that this case is quite tricky...... I'm afraid we won't be able to cope with it......"

"It's okay, let's see." Chen Xian said softly.

"How are you going to solve this case? Got a clue? Lu Yisheng asked cautiously.

"It's hard to say." Chen Xian turned his head to look at him, and his tone of voice had a sense of uncertainty, "Anyway, no matter what is behind this strange case, if you want to solve the case, you have to wipe out these abnormal lives." ”

"The paper people?" Lu Yisheng's heart tightened, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, "I heard Section Chief Tu just now say that there are so many paper figures here that they can't be killed, just the two of us...... Will it not be possible? ”

"Try it." Chen Xian turned his face away and continued to lead him deeper into the alleyway, "How do you know if you don't try." ”

Lu Yisheng grinned, his smile was a little unnatural.

Although Chen Xian's tone of voice was very calm, without the slightest hint of nervousness or uncertainty, this kind of words did not seem to convince Lu Yisheng, because in Lu Yisheng's opinion, such a risky attempt like this was completely unnecessary.

If the failure rate is so high, why risk it?

"No one dares to say that they are 100% sure of this strange case, not even the people at the headquarters." Chen Xian seemed to know what Lu Yisheng was thinking, because he had seen many young people like Lu Yisheng, "Even if we don't come in now, they will come in after the headquarters support arrives, and they will all have to try to find clues, and if you want to solve the case, you have to start by trying." ”

"Then let them in, the Investigation Department of the General Bureau is not as strong as our sub-bureau, they are so numerous that it is easy to send dozens of members in at a time...... It's definitely better than the two of us coming in. Lu Yisheng muttered.

"Let the headquarters do everything, so what do you want our branch to do?" Chen Xian asked suddenly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yisheng frowned and did not speak.

"I don't know so many twists and turns, but I feel ..... There are some things that cannot be left to Headquarters. Chen Xian said without looking back, "If we have tried all the methods and still can't deal with this strange case, then it is appropriate to transfer it to the headquarters to deal with it for support, but haven't we tried it yet?" ”

"Didn't they try, Chief Tu?" Lu Yisheng asked in a low voice.

"I don't care if they try it or not, I haven't tried it anyway, so I want to try." Chen Xian said, his pace slowed down slightly, and asked Lu Yisheng coldly, "Do you think I'm taking you to death?" ”

Lu Yisheng hurriedly shook his head and said no.

"Don't worry, you can't die." Chen Xian said, his tone was very calm, as if he was describing a matter of course, "As long as you are closer to me, I should be able to protect you." ”

Lu Yisheng hurriedly walked forward without saying a word, and almost the whole person was attached to Chen Xian's back as if he was a spirit behind him.

"I'm not talking so close."

"Oh, then I'll stay farther away!"

Being interrupted by Chen Xian like this, Lu Yisheng's mood seemed to calm down a lot, at least he was not as nervous as before, and the expression on his face was relaxed.

"Boss, I heard that you were a lone wolf, and you handled different cases by yourself?"

Although Chen Xian likes to handle cases alone, it is undeniable that under the premise of the hard requirements of the General Administration, he has also been forced to be a teammate several times, but it is just a few times, and the rest of the cases are handled by him alone, so when he heard Lu Yisheng ask about it, he also answered truthfully.

"No, I've worked with people from the General Administration a few times."

"Oh, oh, that's ......." Lu Yisheng was a little curious, and there was undisguised admiration in his eyes, "What did you do when you handled the case by yourself?" I've heard that there have been several cases where even the Investigation Department couldn't figure it out, but in the end you solved it! ”

"Me?"

Chen Xian paused, looked up at the gray sky, and seemed to be reminiscing.

"Actually, I'm not going to solve the case."

"You're not going to solve the case??"

"No, it won't." Chen Xian said, taking Lu Yisheng and continuing to move forward, "Many times I don't know what the goal is, and I don't know how to target it, because my basic knowledge is too lacking, and I may not be able to compare with you." ”

Lu Yisheng listened quietly, and the curious look in his eyes became more and more intense.

"Before I became a temporary worker, I was an ordinary student, majoring in literature, and my family was also an ordinary family, so I didn't have the opportunity to learn those special knowledge." Chen Xian suddenly showed a self-deprecating smile, and it was rare to talk more, chatting with Lu Yisheng, "Criminal investigation, forensic science, religion...... I haven't touched any of the things that the members of the Detective Department should study, and no one has taught me, so you can treat me as an ordinary person. ”

"And how did you deal with those strange cases?" Lu Yisheng couldn't help but ask, the gossip in his eyes became more and more obvious, "Boss, I heard that you are a congenital alien, which is different from the acquired aliens who have cultivated in our religious system...... You were born with supernatural powers, right? ”

Avatar?

Hearing this metaphysical title, Chen Xian couldn't help but be stunned for a second, nodded and said, "Sort of." ”

"You relied on supernatural powers to deal with those cases?" Lu Yisheng asked.

"Almost." Chen Xian thought for a moment, and then said truthfully, "But I think what is more important than special abilities is intuition, maybe because the way I solve the case is different from those members of the Investigation Department...... I think intuition works better than what you say. ”

"How?" Lu Yisheng hurriedly asked.

"I lack general knowledge than yours, so many times I don't study the origin of the mission objective, and I don't have the ability to analyze the opponent's weaknesses at the beginning......" Chen Xian shrugged, "I only need to think about one thing to solve the case." ”

"What do you want?" Lu Yisheng asked, and began to take notes in his heart.

"How to find out the mission objectives." Chen Xian smiled, and his tone was very honest, "The cases I am most afraid of encountering are the kind of cases with vague mission objectives, and it is really troublesome to find them, but as long as I find them, this case can basically be solved." ”

Perhaps to some people, Chen Xian's words are a bit arrogant.

Finding the target is even solving the case? What can you do? Do you really think you're a god?

Of course, Chen Xian is not an immortal, but judging from the strange cases he has solved so far...... He was indeed no different from an immortal, because he had never lost.

As long as you find the mission target, you can fight it, and if you can't beat it, you can eat it, anyway, whether you kill it or eat it, as long as the mission goal disappears completely from this world, won't the case be solved?

As for why the target appeared at the scene of the crime, and what kind of purpose...... These are not the factors that Chen Xian considers.

So compared with those members of the Investigation Department, Chen Xian seems to be a little unprofessional, not like a temporary worker in the traditional sense at all, but more like a killer.

To put it simply, he only kills and buries, except for solving the mission goal, he does not mix with all the other trivial and miscellaneous matters related to the case, and he does not have the ability to mix.

Compared with those detectives who lost a lot of hair, Chen Xian's mental work in each strange case is limited, and he pays more often than "manual labor".

"What are you good at?" Chen Xian asked suddenly.

"Me?" Lu Yisheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly responded, "What I am best at is Lu Banzuo Technique, followed by Qimen Dunjia and ......."

"Let's keep it simple." Chen Xian said in a low voice, seemingly a little embarrassed, "I'm not a gentleman in your business, and I have a bit of a headache to say so many professional terms." ”

"That's ......"

Lu Yisheng thought for a moment and said as simply as possible: "In general, I am better at dealing with spirits, but the Lu Banzuo technique I practice is mainly to create strange things, so it is a little more supportive. ”

"Strange things?" Chen Xian became interested and glanced at him curiously, "What kind of strange thing?" ”

"Hehe, I'll have to talk to you about this." Lu Yisheng smiled mysteriously, reached into his waist bag and took out a wooden man painted with talismans.

This wooden man is about fifteen centimeters tall, and the proportions of its body structure are very harmonious, similar to that of normal humans, but it has no facial features on its face, it looks like a crude egg face, and there are three fine talismans carved on its face, and you can vaguely smell the strange fragrance emanating from the grooves of those runes.

"This is one of the strange things at the bottom of my box, and I named it Luban No. 8."

Chen Xian took his eyes off the wooden man and looked at Lu Yisheng without saying a word, his expression a little complicated.

"What's wrong, boss? Do you think it's a bad name? Lu Yisheng scratched his head, not understanding why Chen Xian looked at himself with such a gaze, but he was an open-minded young man who liked to listen to other people's opinions, so he asked Chen Xian again, "Why don't I change its name?" What do you think of the first machine? ”

“......”

"Oh, don't look at me like that!" Lu Yisheng said with a hippie smile, "Don't look at it, it's not amazing, this is my natal weapon, it took seven years to refine it, you don't know how much effort I spent..... But I can tell you more about it! ”

Seeing that Lu Yisheng was about to start showing off, Chen Xian hurriedly shook his head, put on an expression that you want to say I don't want to hear, and then pointed to the wooden man in his hand, and asked him in a tone as tactful as possible, for fear of hurting his young self-esteem.

"You've been practicing for seven years..... Just make such a thing? ”
