Finding the Eater and completing the novice task arranged by Zhiling is Jiang Yue's top priority.

Of course, there is another important reason.

The trajectory of the Eater seems to be getting closer and closer to the Crescent Harbor. For the safety of his family, he must track down the Eater as soon as possible before he enters Crescent Harbor.

He didn't want to go home and his sister become an aunt and his cousin an uncle.

This kind of thing is creepy just thinking about it.

Officer Han was also quite embarrassed at the scene, and other departments did not look down on the ability of their police station to handle affairs. complained to them a lot, and complained that they were delaying things and not reporting the situation in time. It's so passive that everybody is now.

Although there is some truth in the complaints of these departments, this pot should not be carried by Officer Han. Whether to report or not to report is not up to Officer Han's location.

"Xiao Jiang, you wait, I'll go with you. ”

"Did you bring the guys?"

"Rest assured. Officer Han patted him on the waist.

However, he added: "If you can not move, try not to move." ”

Jiang Yue nodded: "Let's act when the opportunity arises." It is speculated from the scene that this evil is still in a seedling state, and although it is evolving, it is far from being fully evolved. ”

"How?" Officer Han's attitude towards Jiang Yue now has only one word, obey.

He had already made up his mind and planned to follow Jiang Yue all the way to the dark.

"If you look at the time when he committed the crime, it was basically more than an hour apart. This shows that he needs time to digest these stolen years. ”

This sentence is a bit out of line for Officer Han.

Seeing Officer Han's confused face, Jiang Yue explained: "It's easy to understand if you think of it as a monster that can steal normal life expectancy." ”

Officer Han nodded thoughtfully, not knowing whether he really understood or responded politely.

In addition, every time it moves, it instinctively avoids crowded places. And they all choose to sneak in. This shows that he is also afraid of humans. At least it is afraid of a head-on conflict. ”

"Evil creatures are also afraid of humans? Aren't all the monsters in the movie all supernatural?"

Jiang Yue smiled bitterly: "If that's really the case, does the human race still have a future?

The question was very philosophical, and Officer Han was speechless for a while.

"It's hard to say how harmful it will be if it becomes a fully evolved entity. But at least for now, it's still evolving. It means we still have a chance. ”

This monster is difficult, it can't perform face recognition, plus its whereabouts are weird, and it has an instinctive anti-detection ability.

So to track it in real time, it's not technically easy to do.

But Jiang Yue felt it at the scene just now, and he could vaguely detect the evil aura remaining at the scene. This instilled a great deal of confidence in him to track down the cannibals.

"Xiao Jiang, if it goes anywhere, it will cause a certain amount of destructive power. Following this line of thought, it should be feasible to lock him down, as long as there are enough people, right?"

"It's hard to say. Judging by the judgment, the places he walked did not seem to leave any traces. Only a long stay, or the scene of the crime, will leave traces. Like the taxi, like the bench, like the falling wall ash ...... at the Bean Sprouts Alley site."

"The bottom line is that I feel like it's getting better at disguising it. In the taxi, it left traces that even affected my cousin. Looking at the bench and the wall ash of Bean Sprouts Alley, the traces of the scene he left behind are obviously getting more and more subtle. ”

That's evolution.

The rate at which the Eaters evolve is faster than expected.

It is not only the ability that has evolved, but also the intellect, and the evil instinct.

If there is no aura of inviolation of all evils, if Jiang Yue rashly pursues it and fights with this monster, Jiang Yue really doesn't have the slightest certainty.

The night is a natural barrier for monsters and the best cover for evil.

When the two returned to the car, Officer Han asked, "Where do you go next?"

In fact, he also knows that if he always waits for something bad to happen and then tracks it, he will always be one step slower and will never be able to catch up with the other party.

Don't try to be one step ahead of the other party, at least try to catch up.

One step lags, one step lags behind, and in the end you will only be led by the nose. If it is really as Jiang Yue guessed, this is the monster's doing, and the monster is still evolving.

At that time, how far the situation will deteriorate, Officer Han is a little afraid to think.

Jiang Yue didn't speak, opened the map on his phone, and studied it.

Based on the previous activity area between each victim, the distance between one victim and the next victim will not exceed 1.5 kilometers.

And the old eaters who have not fully evolved obviously do not like to drill into lively places.

With Bean Sprouts Alley as a starting point, where does it go next?

Jiang Yue circled three places: "Officer Han, let's go around these three places." ”

Choosing these three places, of course, will not be a whim and random circle. Jiang Yue has considered the choice of every location.

These three places have one thing in common, they are all relatively secluded, especially at night, and there are generally not many crowds gathering.

Based on the experiences of the previous victims, each victim acted individually.

What does this mean?

It means that the cannibal is not absolutely sure that he will deal with several adults at the same time.

Its tactics have always been sneak attacks, which shows that it is trying to avoid risks.

This kind of vigilance is indeed terrifying.

The Star City in spring is always a little cool. In a quiet place, there are already insects that can't hold back the loneliness and begin to chant and sing.

The two of them turned on police flashlights and probed around.

Bridge holes, grass, garbage cans, and green belts are the focus areas of their search.

Officer Han has been in the industry for so many years, and he has searched for many vicious murderers, which has made him so stressed that he even sweats slightly on his back, this is the first time.

What is even more ridiculous is that he actually acted with a teenager.

If this is transmitted back to the bureau, I don't know how many peers will be provoked to tell jokes behind their backs, and even ridicule in person.

Of course, none of these Han officers cared.

He is not only handling this case now, but also fighting for a breath. Only by handling this case well, can he get rid of this pot with confidence.

Look at the time, it's almost eleven o'clock.

More than an hour has passed since the last victim's crime.

The two felt a great deal of pressure.

According to the law of this monster's activity, its crime cycle is usually more than an hour apart. Maybe while they're searching everywhere, in another place, it's moving on to the next target.

For every hour or so of delay, there will be one more victim.

Although this is not a homicide, when it comes to weirdness and bizarreness, when it comes to causing social panic, I am afraid it is better than one or two homicides.

There was a parking lot in front, and this was the third location that Jiang Yue had demarcated before.

If there is still no harvest in this parking lot, Jiang Yue may have to think about how to adjust his thinking.

This is a social parking lot, and social vehicles are parked a lot during the day. At night, the vehicles of the surrounding residents will also be parked here.

The parking lot is not small, there are two or three hundred parking spaces. There is an access control at the entrance, and there is a security guard box on the side.

Jiang Yue and Officer Han turned on their flashlights and walked towards the parking lot from afar.

Before he got close to the entrance, there was a person in front of him, holding a briefcase and a phone in his hand, walking out of the direction of the entrance of the parking lot.

Out of professional sensitivity, Officer Han flashed a flashlight directly on the other party's face.

The other party was on the phone, and he was unexpectedly photographed like this, so he hurriedly squinted his eyes and spat fragrant fragrance: "What is Nima doing in the middle of the night?

Officer Han was not convincing in civilian clothes, and his police card flashed: "Police, what are you hanging around here in the middle of the night?"

The man was about 40 years old, combed a boss's hair, looked like a private entrepreneur, and was not stunned when he saw the police officer's card, and sneered: "What's wrong with the police? Does the police still care about people going home? Do the police still care if I call my wife?"

If you want to change to usual, with such an arrogant attitude, Officer Han may not be so polite.

Today, I have an important task on my shoulders, and I don't care about it.

"You just came out of the parking lot?"

"yes, what's wrong? Is it illegal to park a car? Is it illegal to go home?" The man seemed to have a natural resistance to the police.

"Is there anything unusual in the parking lot?"

"What's abnormal? Is it abnormal for the security guard to doze off at work?" the man cursed and walked away.

Jiang Yue and Officer Han were speechless, and the relationship between the police and the people didn't seem to be so tense these days.

"Let's go, go over and have a look. ”
