69 The body of the wicked trick
The movement on the Warlock's side drew the attention of the other Warlocks in the hall, and what he shouted was only a few words, but it was enough to conjure up certain things. Some people seem to have realized who I really am, and there is a hint of doubt and confusion in the eyes they cast.
I was silently prepared that someone might come to me for trouble. For example, Sabertooth's acquaintances and friends here, or the law enforcement warlock who fights grievances, etc. But after waiting for a while, no one came out, maybe I was too delusional.
Qiao Licorice glared hard at the people around him, and then said to the internal warlock who was in charge of receiving us, "He is now an official member of the Security Bureau, and he is also a law enforcement warlock directly under the ranks. If you're being rude to us, then don't blame us for being rude. ”
Don't blame us for being polite, what kind of unkind method are you going to do? Is it planning to "Li Duo, hit him"?
Although I had these thoughts on my own, Joe Licorice was speaking for me. She was so unhesitating, and so clear-cut, the opposite of the impression I had of a timid white rabbit when I first met. Perhaps she also mustered up the courage in her heart, so that she could take a clear position in the lobby of the security bureau in the field to say these words. I actually have a moving emotion, and I won't go against her in public.
The housekeeper seemed to be frightened as well, and he looked at me again, as if imagining something in his head, and finally said convincingly, "I see." ”
It seems that my notoriety also has a bit of a role in Tianhe City.
I continued to interject, and Qiao Libri continued, "Then, we want to see your main force here, where are the others?" ”
"This, I don't know." Said the housekeeper.
"You don't know?" Joe Licorice raised an eyebrow high, "So who knows?" ”
"I don't know." "He's usually elusive and hard to reach." ”
"The main level is still elusive," Qiao Licorice said unpleasantly, "lack of discipline............
The internal warlock said disapprehantly, "Aren't all the main ranks like this? ”
"According to our files here, you only have one main rank here, but just in case I ask again, do you have any other main ranks?" Joe Licorice asked.
Normally, there is only one main level in a city. In other words, there is always a relationship between the city and the main force, and some cities do not even have the main force. For example, it is very rare for Liucheng to gather me and Jade Bird (of course, I only have the strength of the main level, but there is no corresponding official title in the file), and there is a lack of a national main level.
The main force of Tianhe City is "Wei Chi", unfortunately, I only know his code name, but I don't know what abilities he has, and I don't even know what he looks like. The disadvantages of the secrecy style of the warlock group came out here again, obviously they were members of the official organization, and they didn't have the need to hide their heads and tails, and they were still such an important role, but in the archives of the Liucheng Security Bureau, there were only written materials, and not even a photo could be seen.
The electronic archives of the security bureaus of different cities are not even interoperable, and now they are about to enter 2023, which is really inconvenient and has a limit. And this is also the reason why Qiao Licorice will ask that, the security bureaus of different cities are not transparent to each other, so it is not possible to guarantee that a second main force has been added here, but Liucheng doesn't know about it.
By the way, I asked Blue Bird about the information about that Wei Chi, but unfortunately she didn't know her either. Although she had stayed in the Wei Chi family for a period of time, because she had a special position at that time, the family was very feudal, the elders and the young were quite strict, and the main warlock in the family was a "big man" that she couldn't see at that time. Of course, it is possible to see it, but just like the seven aunts and eight aunts who were only seen during the Chinese New Year, it is even if she has a good memory if she can recognise it the next day, it has been five years, and it is difficult for her to remember.
The internal warlock said helplessly: "No, we are different from yours, just a main force." ”
"Then find a way to help us contact Wei Chi." "Let's just say that our mission is related to the Half-Blood Demon Biting Blood, and we may need to rely on the power of the main law enforcement warlock. ”
"I made a note of it." The housekeeper nodded.
After a few words, the reported matter was over. The housekeeper turned to leave, and Joe Licorice glanced back at me, "What's next?" ”
"Let's go find the Hunter first." I say.
"Hunter...... Speaking of which, he said before that you have a curse on you......" She looked thoughtful, "It can't be because you 'can't think of it' last time, so the blue bird has put some curse on you, right?" No, the bluebird is reluctant to cast a spell on you...... Come to think of it, a few days ago I secretly analyzed what kind of countermeasures the blue bird psychology would take to you...... Remember, combined with the current situation, what did she do to force you to unconsciously curse her? ”
She could analyze it all...... It was the first time I had seen her show her psychoanalyst side.
I didn't confirm her speculation, and she continued, "But Blue Bird is only good at fighting, and curses are also unfamiliar territory for her, so she didn't hide her traces properly...... The fact that she has improved so quickly and has only taken five years to become a workhorse shows that she is truly a true genius. But she was still too anxious, too focused on strength, and many other cultivation sessions she had forcibly skipped with her own talent. Skipping those links is both her ability and her flaw. ”
"And that's all to save you, Leedo." She smiled and ended with this sentence.
I didn't know how to talk, maybe because I was a little shy, so I changed the subject, "The hunter should be in the morgue, let's go there first." ”
"The Tianhe City Security Bureau heard that there is a reference to feng shui in the layout, and they should build the morgue there...... "Qiao Licorice is really knowledgeable enough as a real warlock, and even knows feng shui, speaking of which, she also used tools like a Taoist compass when she helped me and the blue bird get out of the other space.
She actually led the way and walked in front of me to talk to me, "That hunter seems to be in a bad state. ”
"Maybe he wanted to kill himself." I say.
"Is that so?" She was a little surprised.
"You're so sharp when you dissect the blue bird, but you can't see the hunter's thoughts?" I asked this and at the same time I was a little unconfident, even Qiao Licorice was surprised, could it be that I guessed wrong, and it was very wrong?
"I can't see it." She said calmly, and then asked, "Have you ever heard of the phrase 'aura on the stairs'?" ”
"I've heard of it." I replied as I recalled. This is a French proverb, which means that when you have an argument with someone, under the pressure of the scene, you can often only surface pale words; And as you walk down the stairs to calm down, powerful words come to mind like a trick, but it's too late.
"As for me, I've been prone to stage fright since I was a child. Although I slowly corrected it when I grew up, I was able to do my best only when I was alone. For example, the professional skills of a psychoanalyst can only be fully utilized when facing a monitor and keyboard. Once I left the computer, I was no longer a psychoanalyst Joe Licorice, I was just a Joe Licorice. She said.
"The so-called 'keyboard psychologist'?" I asked.
"It's different, keyboard experts are laymen who don't know how to pretend to understand." She said.
We soon found the hunter in the morgue, who was looking down at the remains that lay in the large drawer of the freezer in the morgue.
Looking at him, I had the illusion that he seemed to be no different from the corpse. His body was filled with the breath of a dying man, a dead breath that would emerge from the utter despair of his own life, and the desire to put his foot into the coffin. Maybe I used to have the same temperament.
"Is this a bad move?" I looked at the body.
He nodded with an incomprehensible whim, "Yes." ”
I gazed at the body.
It was the remains of a middle-aged man of the hunter's age, showing signs of decay.
It was he who ordered the Fog Demon to go to Daylight......
Because there is such a thing as a clone in the world of warlocks, the Security Bureau will contain the remains of some warlock criminals after killing them and leave them for a few days to see what happens to the bodies to determine whether the other party is using the clones to cheat them to death.
But the body was certainly not a doppelganger. It's not just my awareness that is judging this, but also the testimony of biting blood.
Bite Blood is mentioned in the succubus's memory, and the evil move sacrifices all his life force in order to order the demon of the fog.
So the evil trick must be dead, so dead that you can't die anymore.
"Don't you have a grudge against him?" I asked, "Are you upset to see his body?" ”
"It's a long story." The hunter said sadly, but he didn't intend to delve into the topic.
He looked at it for a moment, then pushed the large drawer back into the freezer.
We left the morgue and moved towards the exit of the Security Service. I don't know what's going on on the Hunter's side, but it seems that the matter of the evil trick involves some of his unspeakable past, and I don't plan to go into it.
Besides, the purpose of my trip has nothing to do with bad tricks...... No, how could it be irrelevant.
It's not just related, it's related.
In my "Follow-up Investigation of the Fog Incident in White Sun Town", there is also an important part of "Investigating the Demonic Tentacles of the Fog that are still alive in Tianhe City". Although it is impossible to understand why those Fog Demon tentacles still exist, the evil move is the summoner of the Fog Demon, and may be able to dig up some clues in this dead man's body.
Those fog demon tentacles hiding in the city don't know how many unrelated people will be sacrificed, if they can be solved as soon as possible, it is better to solve them as soon as possible. Although the affairs of Tianhe City should be under the jurisdiction of the Tianhe City Security Bureau, in the capacity of my visit to Tianhe City, it is not without a helping position.
Maybe I'll have to figure out how to get a word out of the hunter.
And when we returned to the lobby, there was a small accident.
A slightly familiar figure slowly walked in from the main entrance of the Security Bureau in the distance.
It's sabertooth!
The moment I saw him, he saw me, too.
I watched him silently. The reason why he is only "slightly familiar" is because he looks very different from the last time he was separated from me, compared to the hunters.
The serious injuries he had received not long ago did not seem to be healing, and his whole body was even more skinny, but a certain strong and boiling emotion supported his frame from within. His face was haggard, gloomy as if he had been sucked in poisonous water, and was filled with a morbid and distorted aura that seemed to be unable to extricate himself from a strong self-torture emotion.
Why did he become like this, and how could I not have a clue?
His own father died in such a tragic form at my hands, how could such a blood feud be let go casually.
Because he has the principle that he can't back down, he has to let go of his hatred?
Is there only the principle that cannot be backed down, and there is no hatred that cannot be backed down?
When he saw the town of the White Sun after the fog cleared, a corner of his heart may have slightly identified with me, and the principles in his heart may have temporarily overpowered hatred. But sometimes hate lasts longer than love, and even endures. Only revenge is the most effective way to hate it. He must have regretted why he didn't kill me then, why he insisted on principle instead of hatred at that time.
Besides, I don't think I'm necessarily a good guy in accordance with his principles.
Maybe I should find a way to lift the bluebird's curse.
But I also understand that this is only a superficial solution.
This curse is essentially the intuitive embodiment of the bluebird's idea. Even if this curse is lifted, I will no longer be able to leave the blue bird to pay for my life to the victim. Because from the moment I realized that the Blue Bird would even set such a curse on myself in order to stop me, with or without this curse, I could not guarantee that the Blue Bird would do anything after I paid for it.
And that was the blessing she really imposed on me, and at the same time her real curse.
My life is no longer just my own.
Sabertooth stared at me with a gaze full of twisted obsession. What will he say to me next? And what will happen to me? And what expression should I show in the face of his words and sharp blades? I hesitated for his further action. But he didn't go any further. On the contrary, he took a step back.
He turned around and walked away as fast as he fled.
I didn't expect this reaction, and I watched him in the distance. Why is he the one who runs away? If you want to escape, I will run away.
Should I catch up? But even if I do, what do I do?
Qiao Licorice's voice came from the side, "Was that person a saber tooth just now?" ”
Only then did I notice that she was engrossed in scrutinizing my expression, but just now my attention was so focused on Sabertooth that I didn't have the energy to pay attention to her reaction. The hunter, on the other hand, looked in the direction of Sabertooth with a complicated face, he had raided Sabertooth's stronghold, and perhaps he thought that he was also the one who would be sought revenge by Sabertooth.
"Why did he leave?" The hunter said to himself.
I couldn't help but say under the gaze of Joe Licorice, "I don't know." But being able to avoid him is naturally the best. ”
The hunter was stunned for some reason, "...... Are you also afraid of being sought for? ”
"Of course I'm afraid." I say.
"That's right. Even you're scared......" Hearing this, the hunter showed an extremely relieved expression.
It was as if he had finally let go of a big stone in his heart, and the dead air on his body had a vague tendency to fade.
