Qinghu Branch of the Civil Security Bureau.

Ground floor, large office.

On the walls that are eight meters high and twenty meters long, countless square screens are neatly arranged, and at first glance they look like lit beehives.

And beneath the honeycomb-shaped screen are three rows of operators and observers wearing headsets.

There was a myriad of voices in the hall that kept converging:

"The Longying Hotel in Changqing District confirmed that two Yellow Pages-level monsters were found, and they have been transferred to the Changqing Branch for processing."

"There are suspected exotic traces on the east side of Jinhua Community on Zixia Avenue, and they need to be led by the director to check them."

"Xue Chang'an, a fugitive wanted criminal, Xue Chang'an, has appeared in the old hot pot of the Chen family on Huo'an Road, and the relevant personnel of the Magician Alliance have already fought each other, and the other party has expressed the need for support."

……

Looking at this busy scene, the expression on Su Mo's face was slightly surprised.

Seeing this, Yu Hongfei couldn't help but explain with pride:

"This is the observation post that we have just opened up recently, through the large array arranged in the headquarters and various sub-divisions, and then linked to the Skynet, as well as the magic weapon components placed in various places, we can retrieve the movements that occur in various places to the greatest extent, including but not limited to the escaped wanted criminals, the traces of the appearance of foreign lands, and powerful power fluctuations.

According to this, we can rush to the scene as quickly as possible to deal with all kinds of emergencies.

Similar to the last time the Celestial Scattered Cataclysm broke out in the city center, if it happens again now, the damage can be reduced by at least four-fifths! ”

Su Mo listened to it and only felt very emotional.

This kind of large-scale and meticulous testing, even in the ancient cultivation world, is afraid that it is difficult to achieve, or it is difficult to achieve it at such a small cost.

It can be seen that not everything is better in antiquity, and the wisdom of future generations should not be underestimated.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask:

"So can you detect those weird delivery people?"

Yu Hongfei showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and said helplessly:

"The observation center here has the ability to sense extreme surprises, but mainly to observe relatively high energy levels.

Generally speaking, only energy fluctuations above the 4th order will be included in the observation range.

As for the 4th order and below, it is not impossible to observe, but the load on the entire system is too great.

With the spirit stones we have on hand, I'm afraid it will be difficult to support.

Moreover, there are many cultivators living in our city, and even if they train or fight casually at home, they will transmit corresponding energy fluctuations.

Once the observation level is lowered, it will only cause great interference to the accuracy of observation, and it will be difficult to accurately lock the corresponding target. ”

"The other is those weird delivery people, because they are dealing with ordinary people, basically they don't produce any big energy fluctuations, so they are currently outside the scope of the system's observation.

Moreover, most of them have the ability to distort light and cognition, and Skynet is difficult to work on them, and ordinary people often do not notice them, which brings great difficulties to our work.

That's why I came to you. ”

Su Mo's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

Yu Hongfei mentioned on the phone that since today, there have been cases of bizarre and violent deaths of customers with multiple takeaways in the urban area.

Their circumstances are all very similar, their bodies intact, but their souls are missing, and they are suspected of being devoured by a strange monster posing as a delivery person.

Crucially, there were multiple cases in different locations that occurred at the same time.

This also means that there is not only one monster who plays the role of a delivery person.

Based on the available intelligence, it is speculated that there are at least five of them.

But it is these five monsters that are now very tricky for the CAS.

It is important to know that a delivery person can deliver many orders in a day.

Even putting aside special cases like Su Mo, it is easy for a skilled delivery person to deliver twenty orders a day.

Considering that these delivery people are not people, it may not be a problem to deliver fifty orders, or even a hundred orders.

Five delivery people, that's five hundred orders.

In other words, that's 500 lives.

Maybe five hundred people is nothing compared to the entire Qinghu City.

However, such a wide range of casualties will inevitably cause great panic among the people, which is not conducive to social stability.

Especially in this special period when the spiritual tide is about to erupt, maybe there will be some chaos.

And if those weird delivery people can't be removed for a day, ordinary people will keep dying.

No one can sustain such a big loss.

Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine the importance of the Civil Security Bureau.

Compared to those powerful monsters that hunted cultivators, they were even more disgusted with this kind of low-level monsters that attacked ordinary people on a large scale.

Su Mo's heart also had a rare trace of fire.

Not to mention the large number of casualties of ordinary people, it is the basic plate that affects his ability to earn attribute points.

The other party played the role of a delivery man, and he was disgusted by pure purity.

If he didn't want to find a way to curb it, Su Mo could fully imagine the scene where the people were so frightened that they didn't dare to order takeout.

It can't be that his profession is about to come to an end, but he is suddenly interrupted by these little thieves.

As soon as he thought of this, the anger in Su Mo's heart ignited,

At this time, Song Ruyuan walked in with a calm expression.

After seeing Su Mo, his expression relaxed slightly, but his brows were still furrowed, and he said directly:

"The general situation Lao Yu should have talked to you, just now I received a few more cases from my side, and the situation is not optimistic.

According to the available information, those weird delivery people are most likely regular.

In other words, it has to be triggered by some kind of rule to make them cannibalistic.

We have reason to believe that the rules of weird delivery cannibalism have something to do with food delivery.

Once a customer accepts their takeaway, it is equivalent to a rule that can be eaten.

However, the strange thing is that the rules generated by rule-based weirdness are generally related to the obsession before death.

For example, many of the monsters that died in the fire will go crazy as soon as they see the fire.

But I have never seen or heard of such a strange thing as them dying en masse from takeaways.

At least there has never been such a large-scale food poisoning outbreak in the history of Qinghu City.

It can be inferred from this that there is probably more than just food delivery as a point of contact between them.

It's impossible to say what other black hands are hiding behind this. ”

"No matter who the black hand is, I will find him out completely!"

A touch of coldness flashed in Su Mo's eyes.

Song Ruyuan's face showed a little sadness, and he said in a deep voice:

"Ordering takeout is closely related to the safety of citizens.

In order to prevent widespread casualties and chaos.

We will arrange for many team members to order takeout tomorrow and set up a game to set up an ambush.

And find a way to find them out in other ways. ”

Speaking of this, Song Ruyuan paused, stretched out three fingers and said:

"But we only have three days at most.

If you can't catch them within three days, the problem will be solved completely.

We will issue a notice to the public to warn of the risks and prohibit everyone from ordering takeaway. ”

When Su Mo heard this, his brows furrowed suddenly.

He knew that Song Ruyuan's actions were not aimed at him.

As the acting director of the Qinghu branch of the Civil Security Bureau, he is responsible for the safety of the people of the city.

If there is no way to deal with the strange delivery man in time, the news must be spread to prevent innocent people from being implicated.

Even if it affects the entire industry of delivery workers, you still have to make a decision when it's time to make a decision.

But Su Mo must not allow this to happen.

And not just because of the attribute points.

And because of his dignity as a strong man!

"Three days? Three days is more than enough! ”

Su Mo's eyes suddenly showed a dangerous light.

……

In the time that followed, Su Mo took advantage of the night to go out and patrol in Qinghu City.

The Civil Security Bureau is also stepping up surveillance and arranging for many people to go out to search.

However, it may be because of the night, the number of people ordering takeout has dropped dramatically.

And there were no further deaths.

But it is not excluded that someone has died and has not yet been found.

After all, many of the people who order takeout are single social animals.

It's hard to even be known about death in the first place.

After working all night, Su Mo, who had nothing to gain, simply returned home to eat well.

The Civil Security Bureau, on the other hand, carried out operations according to the established plan, contacting the Sorcerers' Alliance, the House of Peace, and many cultivators, issuing a bounty for killing the strange delivery man, and trying to enforce the law by ordering takeout fishing.

Under this series of busy work, clues finally emerged!

North Shore Street.

Splendid Home.

6 buildings 309.

A middle-aged man with messy hair, leaning at the door, was complaining to Wei Cang with a pale face:

"Why don't you say that the other party is a mid-level monster when you offer a bounty? Labor and management are in danger of capsizing in the gutter!

If it hadn't been for the use of several explosive potions, I would have died on the spot today, and you must compensate me for the losses in this! ”

Listening to his noise, Wei Cang, who had just finished inspecting the battle scene, replied casually:

"It's a small problem to lose or something, and it's nothing to compensate you.

But we all mentioned in the notice that the alarm was triggered as soon as the abnormality was discovered, and the nearby Civil Security Bureau was contacted, or the other party was dragged down, and you didn't seem to have listened at all, right? ”

"I was just about fighting, who could think so much?"

The middle-aged man said with a heartfelt voice.

Wei Cang sneered, too lazy to expose the lies made up by the other party.

Just as he was about to ask about the whereabouts of the strange one, a figure suddenly appeared beside him.

The middle-aged man had a ghostly expression.

Su Mo asked for the first time:

"Where did the monster last go?"

"What about you?"

Wei Cang shouted at the middle-aged man.

As if he had just reacted, the middle-aged man hurriedly pointed to the back of the community and said:

"That's—"

Before the words fell, the hurricane blew abruptly.

There was no longer Su Mo's figure in front of him.

The middle-aged man was stunned when he saw this scene.

At the same time, Su Mo, who was constantly searching forward along the west.

Finally, by a water bridge twelve kilometers away, I found the corresponding trace of the strange monster.

Looking at the few water-stained footprints remaining on the side of the bridge, a cold color suddenly flashed in his eyes:

"It's a shame that you ran into me today!"

Su Mo stretched out his right hand and shook it suddenly towards the wide river.

In the blink of an eye, tens of millions of tons of water were lifted into the air, like amber condensation, and even the countless fish and shrimp in the water were all lifelike.

And inside the fish and shrimp, a translucent figure with a look of shock and horror on his face.

"Found you!"

Su Mo raised his hand and pulled the figure out of the countless streams of water.

In the river that crashed down, Su Mo looked at the strange look with dull eyes, and already knew that this was the type that could not communicate.

He didn't waste any time and crushed it on the spot.

In the blink of an eye, countless fragments of broken memories appeared in front of his eyes.

Among the fragments, he saw the monstrous manipulated many of its customers.

The unbelievable faces still tell the shock before death.

He even saw scenes of weird and middle-aged people fighting.

But that's not what he wants to know.

After a careful search, Su Mo really found the information he wanted from the dead corner of his memory.

It was a shriveled old man with a thin body and a white practice uniform.

He stood by the river and gently blew a turquoise Qiang flute carved with runes.

With his blowing, the water suddenly emerged from the river and came to the other party.

And there is no posture of attack, as if it has been bewitched.

and then issued an order to the water trick to play the role of a delivery man and attack customers.

Then the water treacherous man left the lair and went on his mission as ordered.

This scene can also be regarded as explaining why so many weird delivery people suddenly appeared.

As Song Ruyuan guessed, there is a black hand behind this.

The turquoise flute in the other party's hand was the culprit of all this.

He suspected that the turquoise flute was very similar to the worship bell he had obtained earlier, and that it had a demagogic effect.

The difference is that this Qiang flute has even more bewitching powers, and can even artificially implant commands into monsters.

Considering that this water trick was already at the 4th order, and it was able to manipulate it so easily, that Qiang flute was at least a high-level, even a top-level magic weapon.

As for why the other party suddenly ordered the strange monster to play the delivery man, he roughly guessed.

Because he had already recognized that the little old man was not an ordinary person, but the vice president of the Cult, Chaos.

He had tried to contact each other through Gou Chen and Yingyu before, but unfortunately that guy was extremely cautious and never responded.

I didn't expect to see that guy here now.

Presumably, the series of strongholds that were destroyed earlier would have dealt a huge blow to the cultists.

It is not difficult to imagine why the Sophists would turn against him.

In addition, his family was targeted not long ago, and now it must be well protected over there, so he will take special action against his profession.

I have to say that the other party really hit him crookedly and hit his death hole.

But now that even the body has been exposed, the ending may not be as wonderful as they imagined.

Su Mo was thinking about it when his mobile phone suddenly rang.

After seeing the address on the screen, he didn't talk nonsense, and his figure immediately disappeared.

Meanwhile.

In the middle of a desolate cemetery.

The chaos that Su Mo had seen earlier was whining and blowing the turquoise Qiang flute in front of the cemetery.

The mournful music wafted through the cemetery, and several graves suddenly trembled slightly.

The bone-like palms suddenly broke through the dirt and were exposed to the outside world.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Chaos' mouth quietly hooked upward.
