Chapter 492: Fully armed
A large number of police arrived at the scene. It's just that at that time, Lin Xuan and Caitlin had already inspected the scene. Some sensitive evidence, Lin Xuan directly chose to take away. There must be people in the upper echelons of the government who know about the existence of the inner world. But the existence of the world is still a secret to most people in this world.
Because everyone knows in their hearts that this kind of thing cannot be made public. It is impossible for the people to bear the fact that they live in the same world as those dark creatures. Once made public, there is only one possibility. War, war to the death. The majority of the public, limited by the flow of information, do not see the more far-reaching implications, and the whole picture. So they will only shout and purge all heretics. They will take it for granted that their side is the superior side in this confrontation. However, the more people who know about the inner world, the clearer they will be. Once an all-out war begins, it will only bring one consequence in the end, destruction.
Human beings have an incomparable advantage in the resources of the world. But there are many things in the world that cannot be solved by bullets. Shapeshifters alone can give the intelligence department of the watch world a headache to death. In the absence of a suitable means of response, a fierce spirit can easily kill an army of thermal weapons.
And if the human beings in the surface world use nuclear weapons, then there are not many people in the dark world who can resist. Even ghosts will disappear under that strong electromagnetic pulse. But then, the whole world will be in ruins.
Caitlin still had a stomach full of questions. But there are many colleagues here, and she can't ask directly. And the colleagues in the police station showed an expression that everyone understands when the two of them appeared at the crime scene at the same time late at night. Caitlyn explained a little, but for some reason, she finally gave up.
"Is this town cursed in some way? I've been a police officer for 20 years, and I've seen as many homicides as I have seen this week. Is there a serial killer here? Is there a group else? ”
The sheriff is already overwhelmed. The murder in the town has alarmed state police and the FBI. Although he had no intention of continuing to climb up. But such a serious case may already affect his pension. Therefore, he still went to the scene to check it out in person. As a result, the tragedy of the scene directly made the old policeman vomit and couldn't straighten his waist.
"Something strange, Sergeant. This case is a little different from the previous two. Our preliminary analysis shows that they were not killed by wild beasts. The murderer is closer to a human. ”
"I'd rather they were killed by the same beast. If it's human, we're going to have to track down a serial killer. Oh my God, I'm going crazy. ”
"It's also a little weird. There are some questions about the identities of the deceased. To put it simply, they are all some wanted criminals. Not a big case, one of them was suspected of stealing a car. The other two were fraudulent credit card fraud. And he is wanted by multiple states. ”
"Caitlin, this case is up to you. Before the FBI arrives, at least make a few eyebrows. Don't let me be too ashamed. ”
"Understood, sir."
Caitlin got her wish and got the right to investigate the case. and appointed Lin Xuan as the consultant of the case for the first time.
The two returned to Lin Xuan's residence together. But to Caitlin's surprise, the werewolf that was originally nailed to the wall has disappeared.
"What's going on, didn't you say it couldn't have escaped?"
"Of course it's not going to run away unless someone comes to save it. Interestingly, the other party actually bypassed my trap. Rescued the werewolf. Caitlin, I think you should let it go. The opponent is obviously a rather dangerous guy. ”
"I'm a police officer, Lin. It's my duty. ”
"If it's the police, it's even more important to let it go. This is not the job of the police at all. ”
"Who's supposed to do that? Those dead witchers? ”
"Every witcher carries a painful past with them. For them, death is sometimes a relief. ”
"They're civilians, I'm law enforcement."
From your words, it can be seen that you have not yet fully accepted the inner world. In the world, there is no law. Some are only strong and weak, alive and dead. Caitlin, if you want to go deep into this world, you have to transform your mind. The cruelty of the dark world, you haven't really experienced yet. ”
"Then teach me, I know you know that world very well, Lin. You are much stronger than those so-called witchers. Even the so-called fallen wizard, you don't pay attention to it at all. When you mention it, I see the contempt in your eyes. You belong to the inner world. So, take me into that world. I've been waiting for this day for twenty years. ”
"You've spent twenty years preparing for this day, but you won't survive more than two days in the world. And your character doesn't fit into that world. ”
"Twenty years ago night, I saw with my own eyes that monster rip my father's throat. I don't understand why there are such disgusting, cruel monsters in this world. But I'm a firm believer that those things shouldn't exist in this world at all. So, when I became an adult, I swore that I would kill all of them. For this purpose, I can desecrate my police badge. ”
Lin Xuan looked at Caitlyn quietly for a long time. His right hand was in a row on a mechanism in the wall. The bookshelf on the other side slowly moved away. The armed rack behind it is exposed.
The armed rack is divided into left and right sides. On the left are a variety of thermal weapons. From high-powered military rifles, sniper rifles, to a variety of light pistols, and even a dozen high-explosive grenades. There are also several unnamed firearms with strange shapes.
Almost all guns have a large number of symbols engraved on them. Somewhat similar to the weapons of the witchers. But these in front of us are more refined and unified. It is permeated with a mysterious beauty. At a glance, it is more than a notch higher than those I have seen before.
On the other side of the armament rack, there are all kinds of cold weapons. Swords, scimitars, short knives, crossbow arrows, recurve bows. There are also all kinds of unpopular weapons that can't be named, or even unseen before. At the bottom is a whole bunch of bottles and cans. Some of them are also colorful and extremely delicate.
"Do you want to really enter the world? I'll take you to see it tonight. Remember, once you're in, you don't have the slightest room to maneuver. Now pick your weapon. ”
