final catastrophe

Chapter 32 32. Discovery
Under the dim candlelight, Xia Ji casually flipped through the file Ye Wuao handed over.

The handwriting on it is still fresh, and it records all the horrible and strange things that happened around Silvermoon City recently.

However, the farthest record was only two weeks ago, so this is obviously a node.

Fourteen days ago, 52 members of the Jinyi Caravan went out from the north gate, and all of them were found dead in Luokupo.

Nine days ago, three floating corpses were found in Liuyehe, a suburb of Dongmen. Their faces were unclear, as if they had been devoured. After investigation, they were a family of three who had gone out to visit relatives in the city.

Five days ago, a thick fog suddenly rose, and horrified wailing was heard several miles outside the city. After the fog cleared, there were skinned and fleshy corpses hanging among the trees. After investigation, the number of fleshy corpses was equal to the number of people who went out that day.

For three days, the residents in the west of the city were inexplicably excited and couldn't sleep at night, while the crowd gathered to cheer in the dark, and sent two senior police officers to investigate, but they never returned, and their lives and deaths are unknown.

Xia Ji flipped through the pages, the more he read, the happier he was, but his face was pretending to be serious.

All the information in the file shows that this Silver Moon City has become a dead city, you can only enter, you cannot exit, and you must die if you exit.

He swallowed vaguely, wondering if he should wait for the foggy weather and try to leave the city quietly.

With his speed, he can definitely "pretend to run away all the time, and draw out the little cutie behind the scenes".

He raised his head to look at Ye Wuao, who had a livid complexion, and controlled his facial expressions to become a little stiff, unbelievable, and puzzled.

Ye Wuao sighed: "These files were obtained only after more than a dozen brothers died. Does Mr. Xia regret returning to the city now?"

The two looked at each other in amazement, and there was a dead silence in the dark room.

Xia Ji suddenly asked: "Captain Ye, have you ever tried to contact the outside world? For example... homing pigeons?"

Ye Wuao pretended to be calm and said: "Whether it's my brothers with six doors or pigeons, they are all gone forever. Even if I try to send messages in other ways such as kites and paper boats, it is useless .”

"To be honest, the reason why I invited you this time is because I think that maybe you are the lifeline of this city."

Xia Ji asked in confusion: "What's the explanation?"

Ye Wuao coughed lightly, looked around, and said in a low voice: "Four months ago, Mr. Xia knew about the Jinmen Banquet event in this city, right?"

Xia Ji pondered and said: "I have a little impression that Duanjinmen was originally the biggest gang in this city, but after that banquet, all of them disappeared strangely, and it is said that they "melted" into a puddle of water. This is true. What my sister said."

"Your sister is right! However, according to my subsequent investigations and recent events, I found that all the threads converged on one person. And this person, I sent the elite of the sect to test, but this elite But never returned."

"This person..." Xia Ji frowned and said, "Could it be my sister?"

"That's right!" Ye Wu'ao's eyes flashed a terrified surprise, "Xia Jun's sister definitely has a problem, and may even be the culprit for all this."

Xia Ji vetoed: "This is absolutely impossible! My sister and I grew up together. My sister is an extraordinary girl. I don't believe she would do this, let alone have the ability."

The shadow of the candle flickered, and the cold wind outside the window suddenly picked up, passed through the gap, and let out howling ghosts and wolves.

Ye Wuao pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "What if she is not your sister? But someone else? Xia Jun, please slow down and let me analyze it."

"Four months ago, Xia Jun was sent to the Guihe Dao Club in Lingye City by her. If you don't sing, you will become a blockbuster. This is certainly a good thing, but why did she send you away? She has become an official of Yunyin Division , the salary is far more than when you were a boy in the medicine hall, which is enough for her and Xia Jun to live a stable life. But even so, she still wants to send you away, why?"

"In addition, there was a small detail in the death incident at the Broken Golden Gate Banquet that no one else noticed, but I noticed that among the people attending the banquet, apart from the dignitaries, there was also a family of three from the pharmacy owner of Qiancaotang. , Their status is low, why were they invited? And before this incident happened, Xia Jun’s sister seemed to have had conflicts with Qiancaotang and Duanjinmen, and was even fired, and was asked for trouble by the third wild wolf, right? "

"I have also checked all the files and records. Fourteen days ago was the starting point of these strange incidents, and the night before, someone reported that there was a strange noise in the slums, crying like a baby crying, extremely weird That night, a drunkard passed by and drowned in the river, his face was swollen and blurred, but unfortunately I didn't pay attention to these at the beginning. Now that I think about it, it is very likely that the abnormal noise was caused."

"As of now, the matter has become clearer. I was sent to the slums at night to investigate the stone house where Xia Jun's sister lived. I never returned. Xia Jun went to knock on the door tonight, but he was not allowed to enter. Do you feel strange?"

Xia Ji recalled: "I knocked hard on the door, but no one answered. I was worried about my sister's accident, so I smashed the door lock with the handle of a knife. But I couldn't push the door open, as if something was blocking it. In front of the door."

Then he described in detail how he felt at the time.

Ye Wuao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, I sent someone to call Xia Jun to come to my place, otherwise if I forced my way through the door, I don't know what the consequences would be."

Xia Ji was also lucky.

Together, the two prepared to act tomorrow. After all, Xia Tian is still normal during the day, and there is no danger in approaching her.

At that time, the first thing is to test whether Xia Tian is still herself.

The second is to find ways to delay her return at night, and then see what happens.

Both of these two points are easy to operate. The first point only needs to be when Xia Ji talks to her, using some secrets that the two of them knew when they were young.

The second point is to use the name of "He Banquet" to invite Xia Ji and Xia Tian to the banquet together, so that after nightfall, she will be under the noses of everyone and unable to leave.

And everything is based on caution, and the two of them made an agreement that they must never act alone to prevent leakage of orders.Then in action, try to find out the truth as much as possible.

At this moment, the door in front of the hall was suddenly pushed open, and a policeman hurried in with a look of panic on his face.

"Hurry up, what's the matter!" Ye Wuao stood up suddenly, and said, "What's the matter?"

"They...their faces were eaten!! It's the three detectives who went to the slums to invite Mr. Yuntiandao tonight. They" the policeman said, then fell to his knees and sprayed sour water out, and then vomited wildly.

Ye Wuao froze for a while, squinted his eyes and pondered for a while, then turned his head to look at Xia Ji who was intact, and said, "Jun Xia, you will really be the one to save this city!"

Xia Ji was taken aback, and instantly understood what he meant.

The three headhunters died, but he was unscathed. This shows that he is special, and it is more likely because of his identity, which is unique and different in the eyes of "that person".

To put it bluntly, because he is her younger brother.

Therefore, he will not be attacked.

The two looked at each other, Xia Ji nodded solemnly and said, "I will do my best."
