"Abominations visit! Abominations visit! Abominations visit! ”

Li Shenzhi had just pushed open the door on the third floor, and the bell hanging on the door frame screamed suddenly and hysterically!

The round copper tongue collided wildly in the bell, like suicide!

The smiling front desk lady froze in her expression.

"Bang dang...... Bang dang ......"

There was a rush of chaos on the third floor, and not long after, several security officers rushed out, either with shotguns or with revolvers.

"Langdon?"

Everyone was dumbfounded, why are you again?

Li Shenyi looked at the people who rushed out with an embarrassed face, and said, "Well, this should be a misunderstanding." ”

Sheriff Gold stepped out of the crowd.

His eyes were like torches, he looked Langdon up and down with a solemn face, and raised his head to motion, "Pass the magic mirror." ”

Li Shenzhi bowed his head, took a deep breath, stepped into the door, and walked to the magic mirror.

In the mirror, Langdon was doing everything as usual, except that the right pocket of his shirt suddenly became transparent, as if shining an X-ray, and a maggot appeared, writhing incessantly.

"What do you have in your pocket?" Gold looked wary.

Li Shenzhi pretended to be stunned, and reached out to take out the enamel pocket watch from his pocket.

As he took out the enamel pocket watch, the maggots moved with it.

- Apparently the anomaly that made the bell scream and the magic mirror manifest was this enamel pocket watch.

"Where did this come from?"

"A friend."

"When?"

"Probably the day before yesterday."

"All anomalous items that are not in the file must be inspected by the Public Security Department before they can be returned to the individual! You know that, right? ”

"I heard Mr. Salloch say it."

"That's good, you put the things on the desk first, and then return them to you after we thoroughly investigate and make sure they are harmless."

Gold gestured to the desk in the doorway.

"Okay."

Li Shenzhi bowed his head, then put down the enamel, and sighed in his heart.

Things have come to this point, although he expected it, but it's really hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse.

According to the regulations of the Public Security Bureau, abnormal items obtained by security officers privately must be reported to the authorities for inspection and record.

After the official inspection and determination that it is harmless, it will be returned.

If it is confirmed that it is a high-risk anomalous item, then sorry, the item must be temporarily detained.

Wait until the day when the vigilantes are strong enough to handle this item before they are eligible to retrieve it.

If the side effects of the item are too great, it will be confiscated directly, phew, it should be called containment.

It was precisely because Li Shenzhi knew this regulation that he dared to bring the enamel pocket watch when the lesser of two evils was compared.

Now it seems that the Tudor Sheriff's Office is worthy of being the center of the country, and a screaming bell is a door god.

Back to business.

After handing over the enamel pocket watch, Li Shenzhi was not freed, but was arranged into an office, where he was interrogated by a special person and asked in detail about the origin of the enamel pocket watch.

Li Shenzhi did not hide it, and he explained it clearly in 1510.

After the confession, he was still not released, which can be regarded as house arrest in disguise.

Around ten o'clock, Inspector Pine pushed open the door.

"Inspector Pine, is that thing okay?" Li Shenzhi, who was sitting on the sofa and reading the newspaper boringly, quickly got up and asked when he saw this.

"It's not a big problem, but it's a bit of a problem." Pine walked over and sat down next to Li Shenzhi, his face flushed with exhaustion.

"What happened?"

"Do you know what that maggot is?" Pine said, taking his pipe in his mouth, "That's a curse, a creeper maggot." ”

Li Shenzhi was immediately at a loss when he heard this.

After Inspector Pyne's explanation, he realized what this creeper was?

Unlike most abominations, which have a definite racial ancestry, Creepers are a handful of monsters that have mutated.

They are usually transformed from the corpses of human wizards.

The ancient book "The Magic Banquet" reads:

- The souls of those who befriend demons will not leave the corpses lying in the tombs soon, they will wait until maggots bite the corpses. At this time, the mind of death will acquire new life and a strange body.

That's exactly what the Creep is!

They are made up of worms and maggots, but they maintain a human form, carrying out the delusions and fantasies of the wizard before he died.

The power of creeper walkers is very uneven, and it usually depends on the wizard's level during his lifetime.

In Li Shenzhi's enamel pocket watch, it was a creeping maggot that was sealed.

"That pocket watch is actually a miniature sealing magic weapon, which seals the worm's maggot, and the maggot always responds to the call of the body, so according to the maggot's guidance, the worm can theoretically be found."

When Li Shenzhi heard this, his expression moved: "That creeper can be used for inlay?" ”

Pyne nodded, "Here's the trouble. ”

According to the rules of the Sheriff's Department, anyone who independently discovers and captures an abomination can have a privileged mosaic.

Therefore, whoever obtains this enamelled pocket watch is likely to capture the Creeper.

However, the enamel pocket watch is Li Shenzhi's, or something that has been announced by screaming and ringing the bell, which interrupts the possibility of some people's dark box operation.

I don't want to, Li Shenzhi's identity gives some people another opportunity.

Although Li Shenzhi is a member of the Public Security Department, he is not a field security officer, and theoretically, he is not qualified to accept the inlay.

Therefore, the process of processing enamel pocket watches should be handed over to the Sheriff's Office, and then the Sheriff's Office will compensate Li Shenzhi, or cash, or treatment.

Subsequently, the Sheriff's Department organized forces to capture the Creeper, and then awarded the most meritorious vigilante according to the ranking of seniority.

I don't want to, things have changed subtly at this point.

"At present, the most decorated person in the Tudor Sheriff's Department is in District 3, so our Sheriff's Chief would like to give you a chance."

"You have two options now."

"One, take the initiative to hand in the enamel pocket watch, and the sheriff's office will compensate you a thousand pounds."

"Two, become a field vigilante and complete the hunt for creepers independently, and of course, our men will always follow you. Once the hunt is successful, he will be granted the privilege and promoted to the rank of Inspector of the Peace. If you fail, the Creeper will go to the Sheriff's Office, and you will get nothing. ”

With a serious face, Pine pointed out the shortcomings of the 14th District Sheriff's Office.

"What about your proposal? Mr. Pine. Li Shenzhi asked.

"I can't give you advice, all I can say is that this is a rare opportunity. It takes at least ten years to take the road of meritorious service, and seven or eight years if you are lucky. It's not a question of staying up for time, it's a question of whether you can live that long. ”

Li Shenzhi's head, in this world where evil anomalies are rampant, no matter how low the frequency of anomalies occurs, once they collide, they may be wiped out.

What's more, the vigilantes themselves need to wander the dark side of society?

Don't talk about that, look at him, how many times has he bumped into rebirth a week?

It's a bad door!

However, judging from the level of pocket watch production, the ability of the maker should not be low. Theoretically, he could have killed or even captured a creeper, so why did he go to the trouble of leaving a scavenging maggot as a guide? ”

"So it's not hard to guess that the creeper may not be low in strength, or that there are other unknown dangers. Therefore, the maker of the pocket watch had to seal a maggot first, which was reserved for guidance after being well prepared. ”

Pine makes no secret of the possible risks.

Li Shenzhi was silent when he heard this.

It was indeed a dilemma, and if it had been yesterday, he would have unceremoniously refused.

Just kidding, no matter how powerful the power is, it is not as attractive as "living".

But now......

"The sheriff has already mediated for me so far, wouldn't it be too ignorant for me to refuse?"

Li Shenzhi paused, and said solemnly: "I choose to join the field security officer. ”
