Twenty-one dark games

"The wound of the cross. A thousand lives are worth it"

More than a month ago. In this remote but sunny town, a group of developers surrounded the mayor and forcibly demolished the ancient "old tower" despite the opposition of the townspeople. Want to build a monument to the mayor. I didn't expect it to be after the tower fell. A white light rose from the ground. He also left a 'cross wound on the ground. The words 'A Thousand Lives' continued. Soon after, there was an accidental death in the town. The deceased was killed by a flower pot accidentally dropped in the middle of a tall building. No one would suspect that it was an accident. Except for the "X" shaped wound on the deceased's left arm. Then. Others died because they had stumbled and fallen off a cliff. Judging by the investigation at the scene and the testimony of eyewitnesses. It's still just an accident. Except for the "X" wound on the left arm of the deceased who died in the same accident as the last one. Accidental fire. Food poisoning. Traffic accidents. Drown. After being persuaded to commit suicide, he fell off the traffic bridge because of his slippery hand. This peaceful town has had seven deaths in a row in a month. It was originally unrelated. No matter how you look at it, it's an accidental case, but it's connected by an "X" wound. At this time. The townspeople don't take them as accidents anymore." The wound of the cross. The rumor of "a thousand people paying for their lives" is well known unconsciously. The originally peaceful town is now in turmoil

Available a few days ago. Mayor Mare has hired a mage out of nowhere. The young mage, with a wicked smile on his face and the aura of death all over his body, performed a strange ritual at the site of the collapse of the "Old Tower". After a few days. The town will be safe. A calm sea gradually. People began to believe that the so-called goblins had been suppressed. It is also believed that there will be no more accidental deaths with "cross wounds" in the town. It was unusually calm

"Hah In a high-class guesthouse. Li Han stretched lazily. Cheng Shuai's bastard is really irresponsible. The case is not over, and my mind is full of what kind of wedding. And I ran back to the mountain without a word—but I didn't understand. That idiot doesn't live in the place that the mayor has arranged for him. What do you want to do in the mountains?"

Li Han was clearly talking to Wan Li. But Wan Li was silent without saying a word. Heavy thoughts crawled all over the face. His brow was heavy all the time. Locks and doesn't open.

"What's wrong?" Bi Chengcheng on the side saw him like this. Originally, I was full of worries. Now it's even more uncomfortable for him.

Wan Li raised his eyelids tiredly and looked at Bi Chengcheng. I looked at Li Han again. Then he sank his head heavily:

"What do you think. What are we like now?"

"What do you mean?"

Wanli buried his head deeper. It was as if even breathing was adding to the pressure on him:

"Are we still like detectives?"

In a flash. Li Han and Bi Chengcheng were stunned. I couldn't speak for a long time. These words were more bloody than any painful blow

Cheng Shuai seemed to have guessed everything. And then there really was a mage. Really did a ritual. Really after that, it was peaceful. And in the process. What did we think of again. What did we do again?" Wanli's tone was heavier than one sentence after another. A sentence of whipping on himself and Li Han. Bi Chengcheng's body." Just now. I even thought about it. Just leave it like that. Fly back. Because we already know the mastermind of this case. It's the 'Shadowless' we can't afford to mess with, and they're not going to kill anymore because of that. Just because of this. I actually thought about leaving. I thought about closing the case like this. What am I. What are we. I know. Now I can't compare with Mr. Tang Peng and Cheng Shuai. But I'm not reconciled. I'm not willing to end like this. Unwilling to find out nothing, just because a murderer who can't be provoked has stopped, it's over, really. I can't help it."

Talking. Wan Li actually cried. He has always been conceited and has a little maturity. I actually cried. Like a child, Li Han and Bi Chengcheng didn't speak. I don't know what to say. I just feel heavy in my heart. Every thought becomes heavy. What can they do. Keep looking. How to check. What if you find out. The opponent is "Shadowless".

"I'm sorry I lost my temper just now," Wan Li wiped his tears. He smiled helplessly at himself. Just now. You should not have heard."

"Me too" who knows. Wan Li just stopped his tears. Li Han cried. Do you think I'm willing? But what can you do if you are unwilling? Now we have only patience. We must face our feelings calmly, we can't rely on Tang Peng and Cheng Shuai forever. So we have to work hard to make ourselves grow. When one day the two of them are really gone. Then we are the ones who are up against the 'Shadowless' gang. So we must be patient with us now. We're no match for them right now."

At this time. A strange and touching atmosphere permeated the room. Although Bi Chengcheng didn't know what they meant by "no shadow". But when he heard these two words, he inexplicably felt that there was a huge and boundless wall in front of him in the endless darkness. Suddenly, he understood Wan Li and Li Han's state of mind at the moment. That kind of helpless unwillingness

At this time. In Li Jing's office

"So to speak. It's all just your layout." Li Jing sat calmly. Place your hands naturally on your desk. Fingers crossed together. And across from him stood . It's Hu Ling who exudes a weird fragrance all over her body. Li Jing slowly sank his face. Go on." Let my little brother figure out your next step. And then I thought you weren't killing anymore. Let him down his guard when he thinks you've achieved something. In this way. I'm indirectly losing a protective barrier here, but I can't figure it out - you laid such a delicate game. Just to kill me. Why?"

A game in a twenty-two innings

Hu Ling smiled and stroked her ears. The smile is still charming. But it can be fatal:

"This question. I think you know the answer – you're not easy. Know how to use Cheng Shuai to protect you. It's going to take so much trouble for us. But. You seem to be a little mistaken. Cheng Shuai is just a defeated soldier under us. If it weren't for the 'dark god' suddenly changing the decision. He would have been blown up a long time ago. But I was surprised. Although the detonator bomb in his heart was moved to an insignificant part and its power was reduced considerably. But even if he survives, he's just a waste. Unexpectedly, he was actually healed by his stepfather. And you brought it here to protect you."

Li Jing sank his head. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"Then how are you going to kill me. Use your hypnotic perfume scent. It's still poison with poison."

"Huh. Looks like you know our 'shadowless' pretty well." Hu Ling let out a string of silver bell-like laughter. Then slowly suck your face in. looked at Li Jing with chilling eyes."' The Dark God's secret information provider. Now the only mysterious backing person who knows the true purpose of the 'Noah's Second Coming' project: Mayor Li Jing. Please. Die."

Hu Ling's voice just fell. Li Jing suddenly found himself in absolute darkness. And two fierce beasts suddenly rushed out from behind Hu Ling. With sharp teeth. With the fear of death. Lunge straight at him

"Bang". Li Jing only felt that he was back in the normal world. Then I saw Hu Ling standing in front of her with her forehead a little embarrassed. With a look of consternation on his face. Originally, there were only Li Jing and Hu Ling's office strength. But suddenly more than forty armed police elites poured out.

"I want to fool a clever opponent. You must first deceive yourself that you said that Lao Tzu is your subordinate." Outside the office. Slowly, such a familiar and confident voice came in. Lao Tzu had already written to Li Jing to tell Li Jing about your specific plan when the rumors of the 'Old Tower' had just come out and the first case happened. Of course. This includes your attack. Damn it. Defeated."

Startled. In a flash, these two words flashed in Hu Ling's expression. But. Then there was a contemptuous smile:

"Huh. I want to fool a clever opponent. Have you ever deceived yourself first? That's what we say. The same applies to it. I'm also worried about overestimating you. You're not coming back."

"Ahh Hu Ling's voice just fell. The policemen who surrounded her suddenly fell to the ground foaming at the mouth. Holding his stomach and struggling in pain

"You know I have a sister named 'Poison Messenger'. Even if she doesn't help. I don't pay attention to these stinky cops." Hu Ling got a haircut. glanced at Li Jing contemptuously. Although we don't know who the secret information of the 'Dark God' is. But it's definitely not this what Mayor Lee is. Seemingly. Five years ago, you thought he was the informant of the 'Dark God'. And stupidly protect this important witness to the present person. It is estimated that it is the 'dark god' himself, Cheng Shuai. Now how do you protect the person you want to protect. The Tyrannosaurus should already be in his office."

"I see," the man outside the office walked in slowly. Then. A surprised expression appeared on Hu Ling's face again. Because that person is Yang Zhiqiang." Although I am very unhappy to pretend that neurotic voice. But I'm the only one in the entire police station who can imitate other people's voices. And it's Mayor Lee's order again."

looked at Hu Ling's surprised look. Li Jing calmly lay on his back on the recliner:

"You're right. I am indeed not some secret provider of information to the Dark God. Your information was given to me by my little brother. At first I was a little skeptical after reading the letter. Now fully convinced. An important witness to the 'Noah's return' that you speak of. It's actually my police chief. Luo Gang."

Now. In Luo Gang's office

The once busy police station became unusually quiet. Zhao Zhefeng, who was excited about the slaughter he had expected, was extremely disappointed when he came here. I don't know why. There wasn't a single person in the police station. He didn't want to bother with that much. Straight to Director Luo Gang's office. OK. Luo Gang is still tidying up things in the office. But when he was ready to attack. A man suddenly flashed in front of him. Blocked his heavy punches.

"You" a hint of surprise flashed across Zhao Zhefeng's face. Then he smiled. It's getting more and more interesting."

in front of him. The sloppy ghost nonchalantly catches his fist. A hint of arrogance appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"It's been a long time. You trash."
