Chapter 20: The Truth in the Darkness II
At the last moment, Linde immediately pounced on me.
But in the end, it was still a step too late, and the shadow man pounced on me first, his hands tightly choking my throat.
Despite the close distance, his facial features are not very clear.
"Boom—"
The Shadow Man seemed to be completely invisible, and he still strangled me.
I struggled constantly, but in vain.
His hands were so hard that I felt like I was going to suffocate.
From time to time, Linde's shouts were heard in his ears, and all this suddenly seemed like an illusion.
Gradually, I closed my eyes......
I don't know if it's a hallucination before death or a return to the light.
"Whew-"
I had the impression that something like a long sword had passed through the body of the Shadow Man.
In the next second, something strange happened.
The body of the shadow man drifted away in the wind like burnt smoke.
The strength in my neck disappeared in an instant, and everything was like a dream.
Unable to hold on any longer, I slowly closed my eyes......
Is everything that just happened true? Or is it an illusion?
In this way, consciousness gradually fades away.
When I woke up again, I thought it was just a dream.
I found that Linde was squatting beside me at the moment.
I lay on the shore of Biquan Lake.
"Ah——!h
Startled by his tall shadow, he didn't see clearly when he opened his eyes.
"You're awake," he said to me faintly.
"Well, why are you here?"
I asked Linde.
"Actually, everything this time is just to catch that thing."
"Something? What is it? ”
He seemed surprised to see me continue to ask.
"You have such a bad memory? Who saved you just now? ”
It dawned on me.
"What about that person?"
"Send him to hell."
"You arrested him?"
"No, send him to hell! We don't have the right to arrest him, we only have the obligation to send him! ”
Linde's words made me foggy.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Linde let out a sigh.
"Do you want to know what's going on tonight?"
"Something? Isn't it human? ”
He smiled faintly
"Nature is not human."
In just five words, it seems like a thunderbolt, not a person? What is it? My worldview is about to collapse.
"To put it simply, it's similar to what you call ghosts, but we're called puppets."
"You guys?"
Ghost? Puppet?
Listening to what he meant, it is obvious that he is not alone, and what kind of group is the "we" in his mouth.
Is it a cult? I have read in the press that there are cults that brainwash normal people into committing crimes.
As the thoughts raced through my mind, a figure ran through the woods.
"Captain Lin, did you send it away?"
It's Anqing! Listen to her tone, she is also a member of that organization?
"Well, it's gone."
An Qing couldn't help but be shocked when she saw me sitting on the ground soberly.
"Why is she still awake?"
Linde motioned to An Qing not to act rashly.
"Aren't you police?"
"Yes, in your world, we are the police."
"However, we have another identity, which is called the Soul Slayer."
"What?"
It all came so fast that I couldn't accept it for a while.
His words seemed to be a declaration that the world did not come in our order.
Everything is out of order!
"And what kind of puppet were you talking about?"
"In our world, there are three kinds of people, one is our soul destroyer."
"It is our duty to send the souls of the dead to hell or heaven. For anomalous spirits, we call them golems. ”
"Some of these puppets are manipulated by other things, some are manipulated by resentment in life, and some evil spirits are born in heaven and earth, for them, our task is to destroy them."
"The second type of people, called ghost hunters, are in a hostile relationship with us, born without a sense of order, and do everything according to their preferences."
"Tyrannical by nature, some will possess others to accomplish their own terrible ulterior purposes. They will take the living and slowly strip them of their souls and train them into puppets.
We call the low-ranking ones puppets, and the high-ranking ones evil spirits. ”
"As for the third type of people, I only know that they are called adjudicators, and I don't know the rest, in our world, there have been no adjudicators for a long time."
Lin De finished speaking in one breath, and An Qing stood aside without saying a word.
"So, why are you telling me this?"
"Originally, I wasn't going to tell you, but you also saw that the puppet was obviously looking for you."
"Besides, your roommate, Qin Xinrou, in our opinion, is probably possessed by a ghost hunter."
"Wait a minute, what do you mean, let me slow down, you mean, you're not from this world?"
Linde thought for a moment.
"To be exact, we are also people of this world, but we are hidden among you. We come from hell! ”
This abrupt statement makes it difficult for me to justify myself. The world, not the way it was?
"Tell me this, isn't there a taboo?"
I don't know why, but at this moment, I became calm and composed.
I don't think about how to accept this information anymore, my own safety is the most important thing at the moment.
In the darkness, Linde's face seemed to be surprised, and then he said:
"You're smart!"
"The purpose we tell you is to get you to help us get rid of the ghost hunter from your roommate."
"And, of course, what's behind you."
An Qing added. Seeing this, Linde scolded her.
"It's not something you can talk about!"
An Qing seemed to be unwilling and snorted.
"What about Chen Feng?"
Since they were all soul destroyers, Chen Feng, who was with them, was naturally afraid that he would not be able to escape.
But who knows, Linde seemed to be puzzled and asked:
"Chen Feng? Who is he? ”
Before I could speak, An Qing immediately interjected:
"It's nothing, it's just a little policeman who just came to the police force, and she thinks he is one of ours."
An Qing's tone was urgent, as if she was hiding something, but I couldn't think of wading into this troubled water.
"Anyway, I want you to keep today's incident a secret, and it's far from over."
"What about murderers? What about Fang Jun? ”
I suddenly thought of something, naturally everything in this is related to them, and the disappearance of that army is naturally inseparable.
"You go back first, it's too late, your roommate is probably in a hurry. Fang Jun's matter is very complicated, and we are also looking for him. ”
Lind admonished.
I slowly stood up, and was about to leave, when I said something to myself:
"You're not afraid I'll tell you?"
Lind smiled,
"Since I dare to tell you, I am not afraid of you saying it!"
"Besides, if you say it and it alarms something in your roommate's body, I promise, you won't survive the second night, and you won't die in an accident."
I took a deep look at him, and then, without stopping, turned to leave.
What happened tonight was sudden and bizarre.
Whether it is, Lin De, An Qing, and Qin Xinrou are all incredible.
Things have gotten out of control.
Seeing my figure leaving, An Qing turned to Linde and said:
"Tell her, okay?"
"Sooner or later, it's not an ordinary ghost hunter who possesses her roommate, let alone ......"
Lind stopped talking.
"What's more?"
"It's nothing, what about that Chen Feng? Didn't you bring it? Find him out of nowhere, I'm going to send my soul to hell once. ”
......
