Bulwark of Light

Chapter 69 Black Hibiscus and the Metropolis

A few more photos were handed over, all from the crime scene.

Gu Shen just glanced at it and put it away in a hurry… The scene is really terrible to see, enough to cause physical discomfort.

The scars of each victim are the same clean and neat, but deep into the bones. Their necks seem to have been cut by a big knife, but they have spare strength and have not been cut off, and their heads and chest are still connected. With a thin layer of blood.

The methods of the out-of-control person can be described as extremely brutal.

“This guy’s behavior is very brutal… and extremely cautious, appear and disappear unpredictably, and the deep sea has not captured the image until three days ago.” Hu Danian whispered: “I don’t know why. , he actually came to the most crowded place on the river beach, but his whole body was wrapped tightly, and we only captured a blurred image.”

The last photo.

This is a screenshot of the bar surveillance. In the photo, the crowd is crowded. A marker circles the outline of a man passing by. It is indeed tightly wrapped, with a black hat and black mask. He cannot see his appearance, but he is tall. Thin and hunchbacked, he looked ill.

On closer inspection, he could indeed feel something hidden in his arms.

“Is this the out-of-control man with the stunned stone sculpture.” Gu Shen narrowed his eyes, “It’s here…he made contact with Jiang Wan.”

” That’s right… After that, he disappeared again. Using the deep-sea authority, he could accurately find the victims affected by the Stunning Stone Sculpture, so as to determine the trajectory of his actions. He always moved around Lipu Street and Jiangtan. But unfortunately This method is always a step slower.” Hu Danian said in a deep voice, “That’s all the information I’ve investigated so far, but there is one thing worth mentioning… I think this guy’s logic is weird. Since the lucky ones are randomly selected. Serial killer, why don’t you unleash the power of the Stunning Stone Sculpture?”

Gu Shen was lost in thought.

Hu Danian said that so far, only 24 people have been affected by the Stunning Stone Sculpture… This number is a bit low.

For several days in a row, if you want to deliberately create unrest, the stone carvings can affect hundreds of thousands of people in one day.

“It wasn’t his intention to capture the dream of the ordinary person…” Gu Shen muttered: “These people are not his target… He is looking for prey.”

Hu Danian’s eyes lit up .

“This person has never left the Lipu River Beach, which means that his prey is in this area.” Gu Shen whispered: “Maybe he did not randomly select, but hunted in a targeted manner. I have a doubt about the characteristics of the head stone carvings… You said that as long as there is physical contact, the characteristics of the sealed item will be triggered, so what about the bearer himself?”

“This used to be a locked cabinet. The Sealed Artifact in , because even if you wear gloves, there is no skin contact… The Stunning Stone Sculpture will still trigger the characteristic.” Hu Danian frowned and said slowly: “The condition to be triggered by the Stunning Stone Sculpture is not so much personal contact as it is to satisfy ‘a certain This kind of distance’…”

Speaking of this, he suddenly realized that he understood the intention of Gu Shen’s question.

“You mean…the carrier, his own dream…was also taken away?”

“That’s right.” Gu Shen seriously said: “Look at this A picture… Does he look weak? I guess he has been wandering around the river beach with a dazzling stone sculpture with him for so long, and his sleep should have been plundered almost.”

Hu Danian muttered: “It makes sense…”

“But,” he was startled, “what if you know this?”

“You don’t need to worry about that.”

“You said earlier…the deep sea can find those sleepless people infected by the stunned stone carvings…right?” Gu Shen said softly: “Send those who are still insomnia and need treatment to Lipu. 18th Street, I’ll treat them.”

Hu Danian was stunned.

His mission is just to connect and deliver messages. He only looked at the photos of the contact person and didn’t know any other information. After explaining the details according to his own habits…there was nothing to say, the connection task. Finish.

But this time, he was unprecedented and looked at the teenager beside him seriously.

I have performed tasks by myself for about ten years, and met all kinds of people.

The old friends of the past, the old acquaintances, after awakening to the supernatural, more or less, have changed their appearance… Maybe they are used to seeing life and death, or maybe they have seen the fragile appearance of life before the extraordinary power, gradually Gradually, in the task, saving the life of the ordinary person is no longer placed first by default.

It can be saved.

If you can’t save it, you can’t save it.

The boy’s eyes were as clear and clean as a lake.

“Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t believe you…”

Gu Shen calmly said: “I just think… with your style, the priority of these victims will be Very low, there may be accidental victims. Of course, I am aware of my abilities, and I don’t think of myself as a savior. If I just remove the mental infection of the stunned stone sculpture… I can handle it, and I will be happy to take it over.”

That aside…he had another consideration.

The last time Jiang Wan was cured, his blazing fire increased.

Although there is only one strand, it can almost be ignored…but it is enhanced, it is a fact!

Gu Shen guessed that the increase in his own fire was related to the removal of nightmares. In the spiritual imprint given to the ordinary person by [Skewing Stone Carving], there is a ray of supernatural origin.

No matter how small mosquito legs are, they are also meat.

At this stage, Gu Shen doesn’t want to pass up any opportunity to strengthen himself.

“Okay.” Hu Danian said indifferently: “I will pass on your wishes to Mr. Cui, you are willing to take over, and we have saved a lot of trouble.”

Gu Shen laughed.

The conversation of the case ends here, and he is still somewhat interested in the identity of the hoodie uncle.

“I take the liberty to ask, what do we mean…” Gu Shen rolled up his sleeves, pointed to the position of his forearm, and said, “A certain gang?”

Hu Danian frowned, Instead of covering it up, he slowly lifted his sleeves so that Gu Shen could see more clearly… This is indeed a dazzling tattoo, with black patterns entangled in it, encircling it like a broken heart.

This is a dazzling and magical flower that blooms on the heart.

“Have you never seen this tattoo?”

Hu Danian looked at Gu Shen’s confused expression, and suddenly laughed. : “You brat, you just arrived in Dadu. I can tell from the look in your eyes. It looks like a sheep entering the wolf’s pen for the first time. But haven’t you even heard of ‘Sincere Club’?”

Gu Shen shook the head.

The black hibiscus flower…sacred and enchanting.

“You can hide away from this organization in the future. This organization is not something you can afford.” Hu Danian took a goblet from the bar and leisurely said: “Here, your wine is here… have a taste. Taste the metropolis.”

Gu Shen took a sip.

He frowned.

“How’s this wine?” Hu Danian leaned against the corner of the bar with his hands spread out, watching the circles of neon rays of light rippling on the dance floor.

Gu Shen put down the goblet and replied honestly.

“Sweet…and strong.”
