Chapter 8: A New World (The Last Witch Hunter)
"Gu Tingcheng, I need you to answer my question now. What really happened in that warehouse? ”
"Is your autopsy report out?"
"Now I'm asking questions, answering me."
"I won't answer unless you tell me how those four men died. It's been more than twenty hours, and with your resources, you're sure to have gotten results. Tell me what you've come up to. ”
"You ......" what else the interrogator wants to say? But the sound coming from the headphones stopped him. He glanced up at Gu Tingcheng, turned and left the interrogation room.
A few minutes later, a man in his thirties walked in. He is about 1.7 meters tall, which is not tall in today's society. The whole person also looks a little thin, and he doesn't have the momentum of the high-level of the secret department in film and television dramas at all. But when you look into his eyes, you will find that those black eyes seem to hide all the wisdom in this world.
"Not long ago, I just looked at the autopsy report. So I guessed some of the reasons why you wouldn't speak. Without introducing himself, he just started the conversation. According to the autopsy report, with the exception of one convict who died by gunshot, the other three were all extremely unusual in their causes of death. According to the medical examiner, they all died from broken necks. But no traces of external forces were detected on their bodies. It's like...... They twisted their heads violently, as if their necks had been broken. Of course this is just my speculation, the truth is with you, right? ”
Gu Qingcheng looked at the man opposite, "Who are you?" ”
"Unfortunately, I can't make any introductions until you say what you've seen and I've assessed it."
"That's the legendary department that deals with special cases. I always thought you were just legends in the bureau. ”
"Can we start?" The man ignored Gu Qingcheng's words, and just reversed the topic.
"They were killed by some kind of superpower or magic or something. I can't make an accurate judgment, but magic is mostly possible. ”
"Since you can't tell, how did you come up with the result that there are so many possibilities for magic?" The man ignored her words about superpowers, magic, and the like that shouldn't have appeared. Just caught the hole in her words.
"It's what he said, it's magic."
"He? There was a third party at the scene at that time, and it was he who killed those people. ”
"Yes, he claims to be a magician."
"Did he show you anything like proof of what he said?"
"He used his mind, or something, to block the fire of the two automatic weapons. With a snap of his fingers, the necks of the three men turned three hundred and sixty degrees on their own. Does this count? ”
"Why did he only kill three? What's going on with the last one? ”
"He left one for me, and I think he became curious about who I am and wants to test me."
"What about this pattern? Did he leave it? ”
"No, that's what I painted. The first time I saw him, he was standing in the middle of an enlarged version of the pattern, as if performing some kind of ritual. I forcibly memorized part of it, and because I was afraid that I would forget, I drew it myself after he left. ”
"Ritual, can you elaborate on that?"
"Unfortunately not, our arrival seemed to interrupt him. But I swear I absolutely saw it, and the pattern on the ground before that was emitting some kind of blue flame-like glow. ”
The man paused and closed his eyes. seems to be imagining the picture that Gu Qingcheng said. Then he continued, "Tell me more about how he killed those three people." ”
"First of all, the man in the lead shot him. But it was blocked by some kind of shield, followed by the rapid fire of three other people. But it didn't break through his defenses at all. And then there's what I just said. ”
"Do you see what the defense is?"
"Saw it, but couldn't be sure. It was something transparent, something like an energy defense. But when the bullet hits, there will be ripples, so you can see it. ”
"Last question, have you spoken to the man more? Do you know his name or any other information? ”
"No, I don't know we didn't communicate much, I was in a state of extreme tension. He even thought he was hallucinating. I don't know what the reason is, Gu Qingcheng concealed her last conversation with Lin Xuan.
The man didn't continue to ask questions, just stared at Gu Tingcheng for more than ten seconds. Finally, he stood up and said, "Introduce yourself, Zhang Jian, my department has no name." And it's your department in the future.
Just as Gu Qingcheng was being questioned, Lin Xuan had already begun to prepare for the next world. In the world of "The Magician's Apprentice", there are undoubtedly many opportunities that have not been discovered by Lin Xuan. But those opportunities have one characteristic, they are all outside the plot. Lin Xuan could gain the inheritance of magic through his advantage of being familiar with the plot, but he didn't think that his strength could already explore a magical world at will. So in order to complete his storage magic, to become stronger, he needs more accumulation.
There are many worlds that can enhance their magic, and Lin Xuan finally selected two worlds after repeated screening. The world of the American drama "The Sorcerer", as well as the Hollywood movie "The Last Witch Hunter". The mage's world has the same benefit as the previous world, which is that it has a complete magical heritage. And the last witch hunter world had something that Lin Xuan had been longing for. The witch's heart that can give you immortality.
After some choices, Lin Xuan finally chose "The Last Witch Hunter". The main thing is that this world is a pure low-magic world. Even the strongest witch in the plot is enough to be able to deal with it in Shen Yi's opinion.
Lin Xuan took out a ring and put it on his hand. It was given to him by Hobbes the ring. It's not as good as the Dragon's Ring, but it can also play a role in affinity with magical elements and saving mental power. It's just that Shen Yi has rarely used it, and with the strength of his spiritual power, he can't use this level of amplification at all. It's just that when he crossed over, he still wore it. In the face of the unknown world, any little enhancement cannot be given up. When he crossed, he was able to bring his belongings with him, so he chose to wear the ring.
Standing in the center of the rental room, Lin Xuan activated his ability, and his body suddenly disappeared into the room. And not long after his figure disappeared, Gu Tingcheng came to Lin Xuan's rental room and knocked on the door, but Lin Xuan had already left this world at that time.
