Chapter 42: Speculation

"According to the time of the disappearance of the three deceased, Xu Zhiyao probably entered the territory of the South Gate last night, about nine hours ago, and if you count the five students of the Melting Fire Academy who lost contact, he has already killed nine people... Ahem, ahem! ”

Although Shen Yuan said softly, everyone present felt a chill in their hearts when they heard it.

"Kill one person every hour, and then peel the skin after killing? It's really crazy! Luo Peng's face was extremely solemn, this was the first time he felt the malice hidden around him so clearly.

"Peeling? I don't think so, these skins are stuffed with minced meat and organs, according to my estimation, Xu Zhiyao may have used some special power to forcibly extract the blood from their bodies, and at the same time twisted the internal organs that have become empty shells, so as to make this kind of 'human skin'-like remains... Ahem, ahem! ”

"Vice Captain Shen, did the special ability you just mentioned refer to Xu Zhiyao's star power?" Su Jinqiu asked.

Shen Yuan shook his head, took out a delicate little book from his arms and said:

"According to the information of the Melting Fire Academy, the C-level star calamity Xu Zhiyao has an ominous star ability, and his appearance is that of an old man about seventy years old, and the rest are ominous... Ahem, ahem! We still know too little about him. ”

"An old man? A seventy-year-old man still has the strength to kill nine people in a row? ”

Su Jinqiu doubted the authenticity of this information, after all, in his cognition, the "perverted murderer" still retained the stereotype that he should be a young and middle-aged strong man.

"Ahem, ahem... Ladies and gentlemen, what follows is just my personal speculation, and does not represent the conclusion of the law enforcement team, and you can use it purely as a reference..."

Saying that, Shen Yuan walked to the side of the stone platform, and actually reached out to stroke those gray human skins!

"The four deceased who have been identified now, one is a fighter in the underground arena, one is a rising star in the Arena Alliance, and two are members of the foreign warband, Xu Zhiyao's target is not an ordinary person, but a strong hand who has explored the power of the star..."

Hearing this, Chi Zhou breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.

"Ahem, ahem... Based on past experience, most of the reasons for the Star Calamity are absurd and bizarre, but in Xu Zhiyao, I seem to smell some kind of strong purpose! He's searching, he's searching, he's trying to achieve his goal by slaughtering these people with star powers..."

Shen Yuan closed his eyes and muttered in a low voice, the scene looked very weird.

"Jinqiu, don't you think this guy is a bit evil?" Luo Peng asked in a low voice.

"I originally thought that the law enforcement team at the south gate was at the same level as the gate, but now I am much more relieved when I see him..."

Su Jinqiu replied with a smile, he felt that the overly young vice captain in front of him must have a lot of things hidden on his body.

“... Now that Xu Zhiyao may be hidden in any corner of the South Gate City, I suggest that you pay special attention to some places where the star power is more concentrated... Ahem, ahem! ”

Shen Yuan said that he coughed more and more fiercely, and he was about to cough out his lungs...

"Vice Captain Shen, can you still hold up your body?"

Luo Peng opened his mouth to ask, he was very puzzled how this young man with such a weak physique became the deputy captain of the law enforcement team?

“... It's too late, it's not tight, the top priority is to determine Xu Zhiyao's hiding place, I don't want to see the tenth deceased appear again. ”

As soon as Shen Yuan's words fell, Chi Zhou on the side also echoed:

"That's what I mean, law enforcement team... How many people can be sent to help? ”

“... The star disaster is rare, and those members of my team are frightened by these 'human skins', which put everyone in danger, even if they are forcibly sent out, it is useless, but it is possible to startle the snake. ”

Shen Yuan chuckled, not hiding the quality of the law enforcement team in the slightest.

"That is to say... Only the three of us? Su Jinqiu said in a deep voice.

"Although my ability is limited, I am willing to try my best to assist a few detectives to capture Xu Zhiyao... Ahem, ahem! ”

Saying that, Shen Yuan coughed again, and the three of them couldn't bear to trouble him anymore.

"Vice Captain Shen, we will immediately go to the place where the star power gathers, if there is any situation, I hope you can notify us as soon as possible!" Chi Zhou said he would do it, without a trace of procrastination.

"Working hard for everyone, Shen Yuan did his best."

The young vice-captain bowed deeply to the three of them, he knew very well how dangerous this task was, and the absurd fact that the law enforcement team could not help at all, made him, the vice-captain, a little embarrassed...

After everyone dispersed, Shen Yuan stood quietly near the stone platform, bent down and slowly approached the gray human skins, and muttered to himself:

"Don't worry, I will definitely give you justice..."

As soon as the words fell, the gray and white skin actually took the initiative to get close to his palm! A faint black gas oozed from the fingertips of the human skin, and then it slowly flowed into his flesh...

"Senior, do you have a keen sense of perception?"

"So-so."

"Luo Peng, what about you?"

"Not bad."

"That's right..."

Su Jinqiu, who has a black mist body, can be said to be the most sensitive to the aura of death among the three, since he wants to act separately, then he naturally has to take over the place with the greatest possibility.

"Senior, you go to the Warband Guild; Luo Peng went to the Arena Alliance, and I was in charge of the underground arena... If Shen Yuan's speculation was correct, Xu Zhiyao would most likely appear in these three places. ”

"Jinqiu, it's okay for me to go to the Arena Alliance, most of the players over there live very closely, but the underground arena is almost distributed in every corner of the South Gate, can you handle it alone?" Luo Peng frowned and asked.

"Don't worry, the bosses of those underground arenas are sharper than the law enforcement team, and they have already shifted their positions, and now they are almost all crowded on the east side of the city, for fear of another accident." Before Su Jinqiu left the "circus", he had already asked David for some news.

"I'll keep an eye on the Warband Guild, and if I find it, I'll use the 'Bee Flute' to contact it immediately!"

Chi Zhou pointed to the finger-sized "wooden block" on his chest, which was a special contact tool for students at the South Gate Martial Arts School.

"It's almost the end of the year, if you can't catch him before the exchange meeting, something big may happen..."Luo Peng said in a deep voice.

"I don't want another 'South Gate' to reward him!"

Chi Zhou thought of his mother and the tragedy of five years ago, and he decided to fight with all his might!

“... Star Calamity, what the hell does he want to do? ”

Su Jinqiu has traveled here for so long, and it is the first time he has felt the disaster from the world!

This scourge is terrifying and disorderly, it destroys everyone indiscriminately, and this hidden threat is like a scavenging maggot, frantically "gnawing" at the peace of this small city...

"I'm going to get you out!"
