Bulwark of Light

Chapter 78 Confession

After ten o’clock in the middle of the night, the banks of the river beaches are the most lively places in most cities.

Young men and women gather here… Driven by heavy metal music and alcohol, hormones grow wildly, here you can relieve all the pressure of the day, listen to the most instinctive instructions of your soul, and find the blood in your blood. Wildness and desire.

If you continue to walk along the river beach, the noises that seem to shatter the night will gradually dissipate. All you can hear is the wind in the middle of the night, and the white noise of the waves of the river, the entire world will Faded from the extremely impetuous noise, it turned into a peaceful and dark picture.

Dadu District and Yinghai District face each other across this Hengjiang River.

It was all silent on the other side of the river.

This side of the river is the city that never sleeps.

“How long will it take?”

Qushui led the way and walked along the river beach for a long, long time.

Gu Shen looked back, those flickering lights had disappeared in the dark night and could not be seen clearly, there was a long dark night before and after.

“It’s almost there.”

Qu Shui was in a good mood with her hands behind her back, she jumped up and down to lead the way, she made a big jump and stood still, “Uh …it seems to be here.”

Several bridges have been built along the riverbank, and protective measures have been added on the corresponding banks, but the pedestrian passage under the anti-skid embankment is separated by a certain distance. Holes were drilled and painted with white paint for markings…”1″, “2”, “3”…

“Number 97.”

Qi Shui stared attentively Looking at the cave under the bridge, “I met him here…”

Gu Shen frowned.

It is said to be on the river beach…but it is actually considered to be in a remote and uninhabited area, and this kind of cave, who ordinary people will take a look at, I am afraid only the homeless and stray cats and dogs will. Overnight here.

However, judging by that Foundation believer’s style…it’s not impossible to live here.

He had escaped the deep-sea search for so long, he must have had a special place to die.

“Wait for me here for a while.”

After instructing, Gu Shen entered the cave alone.

The cave is very humid, and as soon as I entered the cave, a violent stench came oncoming, and the environment could not be seen clearly in the dark, but there should be a lot of garbage piled up here, and the smell of feces… It turned out to be true People or animals have lived there.

There is no sound outside the cave.

It seems that Qu Shui is waiting outside obediently.

Gu Shen silently ignited the blazing fire between his eyebrows, he looked around the cave, and said softly in his heart: “Profile… start!”

The moment the blazing fire ignited , the world in Gu Shen’s eyes is no longer dark, a bright light is lit in the heart, he looks around and sees the environment in the dark, this cave No. 97 built in the remote area of the river beach is very narrow, with circular arches. On the top, the ground is littered with loose dirt and dirt. There are indeed homeless people living here, and the food waste thrown on the ground has become smelly and half-buried.

But with Gu Shen looking up.

A feeling of having one’s hair stand on end immediately exploded from the back.

The smell of fresh rancid, mixed with the moist air rushing into the nostrils.

The smell continuously emanated from the stone wall of the cave three meters away… On the narrow earth stone wall, a few large iron nails were nailed, and a dry skeleton was hung, and the skin was Decomposed, the bones are still intact.

In the world outlined in profile, there is peace.

The darkness is driven out by the fire, the dirty environment of the cave is as bright as daylight, the spirit strength pushes the time back slowly, the flesh and blood of the skeleton on the wall gradually turns from dry to plump, and the head is no longer low. Down, Gu Shen saw a corner of the reflection.

At that time, “he” had not yet died, and at one point he was screaming and venting in despair.

The time just pushed backwards like this—

until a familiar, petite silhouette appeared in the field of vision.

In the profile world, she was left with only a dark shadow, no facial features and no voice.

She turned her head slowly, looking at Gu Shen’s location across the reversed time and space.

In this brief moment, Gu Shen’s mind was almost blank.

Rationality drives thought, and in a split second it bursts into fiery sparks.

Thoughts flash back.

In the frozen time, Gu Shen felt that the profile of the cave was fading, and his consciousness seemed to come to a great hall where memories were stored. Inverted sword, under the tip of the sword, the memories of the past are sorted and classified, just like a precious collection of pictures, as long as you open it by yourself, then the memories will be re-screened like a movie.

The First Volume screen is the whisper of Hu Danian’s facial expression grave when the bar is connected:

[“This week, in the remote corners of Lipu Street and Jiangtan, several people appeared. The deceased, all adult males, all died of cutting their throats with a clean sharp instrument.”]

【”In the wound…the extraordinary breath was detected.”]

Second Volume , which is a picture of direct contact with long-term Foundation believers:

【”Fuck the new era!】

【”Long live the long-term Foundation! ”]

At the end of this picture scroll, along with an angry shout, the Foundation believers who came with the stone carvings with solemn eyes were blown up to powder…

In order to ensure the assassination, This believer used high explosives and spiritual seals, but did not use his own extraordinary ability from start to finish…because he is simply not a transcender.

Because of the case of Jiangtan killing Human Demon, and The time of the insomnia incident completely coincided, so Hu Danian was misled… He focused his investigation on tracking down the out-of-control person with extraordinary aura, but the truth is that the assassin who carried the dazzling stone carving was just an ordinary person.

This is a coincidence.

No wonder…when I linked the Jiangtan murders with the insomnia incident, I always felt that something was wrong.

The portraits of the two murderers overlapped and did not match each other.

The last flashback scene in the memory hall.

It was when he pushed open the door of the clinic compartment for the first time, While delivering hot tea.

The fire sensed a disturbing and extraordinary aura…I happened to see the pocket watch on Zhou Yexin’s body.

Now that I think about it, Understand the real reason for the unease…not because of the pocket watch.

According to Zhou Yexin’s dream, it can be speculated that the pocket watch is a kind and lawful sealed object, and the last faint breath is also Just adhering to the belief of “burning everything to protect the master”.

The real unease of the blazing fire came from…the second person in the room at that time.

Qushui.

The profile world, which is bright as day, is reversed back to the original time, and the flow rate finally returns to normal.

The rewind button is cut off and switched to normal playback.

A small girl dragged a tall man into the cave… The man struggled weakly, but could only sit and lean on the stone wall.

The two “cuddled up” We talked a lot together.

Gu Shen’s current spirit strength is limited, and in the profile world, apart from seeing a rough silhouette that symbolizes the outline of the body… I can’t get more information, but Judging from the rigid body movements of the silhouette, it is not difficult to speculate that it was the girl who kept talking and the man was forced to listen.

Finally…

Like a sweet couple, the girl They got close and said the last words of love.

She took a pair of scissors from her bosom.

Aimed neatly at the throat.

A knife .

End of profile, cave dwelling The world returns to darkness.

Gu Shen looked at the hanging skeleton silently, the wound was completely consistent with the deceased in the Jiangtan murder case, the sharp weapon wound, and the severed neck was neat.

Because it is too remote, it has not been discovered yet.

Suddenly, a voice sounded beside my ear.

“Doctor Gu…”

The hair on Gu Shen’s back exploded, and at some point, there was another person in the cave.

The voice was only twenty centimeters away from him, and a petite silhouette was almost standing against his back.

The voice was gentle and mournful, like an abandoned kitten, “There is something…I wanted to tell you last time…”

“I I like you…the first time I saw you…I really liked…”

The voice murmured like a dream.

“Would you…will be my boyfriend?”
