Chapter 25 25. Fierce Scroll, Wax Man (4)

"How many taboos are there?"

“The teacher once told me a sentence, and now I will tell you this sentence. Don’t be too obsessed with the grade.”

“Why?”

"Let me ask you, there are so many Grade 7s in this world, as many as a feather in a cow, but most of them are just masquerade as having an ability, they just use strength.

The one-star entry to Grade 7 is called Grade. 7, Grade 7's ten-star Perfection, also known as Grade 7,

In addition to the same star martial skill, there is also survival and competition, Well, the same is Grade 7, the difference is more than cloud mud?

Even two people with the same strength have different fighting spirits. No.

Even if the fighting spirit is the same, the difference in the decisive battle environment and the temperament may also lead to great differences.

If you always think about the quality in your heart, then if you encounter When the rank is higher than yours, you will lose your fighting spirit, and when you meet the rank lower than you, you will carelessly underestimate the enemy, and in the path of cultivation, you will be impetuous.”

Wu As Qing said, a strange emotion suddenly appeared in his heart.

What is she talking about? ? The Sixth Prince in front of her is just a person who is not even a Grade 9. What's the point of telling him this? She changed her words and said directly: "In short, taboo is not something that His Highness can provoke. If you talk about the grade, it must be above Grade 7."

Bai Yuan thought about it and asked him An extremely curious question in my heart: "I Human Race, isn't there a powerhouse of Grade 1 Grade 2? Can't those powerhouses eliminate these taboos? As a Grade 1 Grade 2, the strength should be very, very strong, right? ?

Breaking the taboos should be a trivial matter, right?

Even if Grade 1 Grade 2 is busy, then Grade 5 Grade 6 should kill these taboos?"

Wu Qing slowly shook his head and said softly, "I once thought like His Highness, but this world, this world is not what I thought, nor what His Highness thought."

Bai Yuan understood.

"This world is not as good as I thought" refers to the fact that although the subsequent grades are extremely powerful, they also have many limitations, and there is still the possibility of being unable to withdraw, or other unknown possibilities. This is an objective limitation.

"This world is not as good as I thought" means that the Human Race is not so united.

In fact, the taboo did not have an extremely large-scale impact. The total number of people killed by the taboo may not be as much as an army massacred the city. In this case, why waste power to attack the taboo.

Consume one's own strength, but give others an opportunity.

This is a subjective limit.

Of course, taboos are connected to the eternal Sea of Consciousness, and no one can guarantee that they can be eradicated.

Or maybe, someone has actually explored it, but failed.

Or maybe. All possibilities exist.

Wu Qing saw that he was thinking seriously without saying absurd words, so he was also interested in continuing to talk.

“The arson case Wu Nian went to investigate was a case in Moshan County.

But this case is about a name.”

"Wax Man."

Wu Qing said these two words in a cold voice.

A wax man?

Bai Yuan suddenly thought of the weird things that Mother Mo said about the forbidden land.

The sound of logging, the illusion of fire sea, the wax figure.

The word "fire" matches the word "wax".

Is there a connection? He couldn't help but ask: "What is a wax man?"

Wu Qing said: "From oil to wax, a process is required, but in these arson cases, people are burned The grease produced by death will directly turn into wax.

The wax figure is a bizarre human figure formed by combining different human waxes.

This case involves a lot. The original case has already been closed, and the corresponding dossier is perfect, forming a closed loop.

If it hadn't been for the teacher to read it, it would have been impossible to find that there was something else in it.

Then, The teacher told a Constable from the Crane family.

This Constable was a friend of the teacher, so he tried his best to review the case.

But during the review process, he encountered an unprecedented resistance, and even the most basic verdict was issued. And then. He failed.

The officer was also lost.

Because he checked it out , there is no problem at all.

What does this mean? Your Highness should have some guesses in his heart. I will not say it.

After the initial case, arson cases emerged one after another, and the impact was extremely bad. .

As for the wax man, it is the name that many Righteous Pavilion catchers exchanged their lives for.”

“Could it be that the murderer is a man made of wax? A terrifying and weird thing?" Bai Yuan asked deliberately.

Wu Qing shook his head: "Wax Man, it's just a name for this case, it doesn't mean that this thing is a Wax Man, but. It is very likely related to taboos or even mantras, or, in other words, It's a taboo in itself, even a curse."

Bai Yuan listened with a frown.

Too dangerous.

This world is really dangerous.

And there are people who collude with such terrifying aliens? Or is it maddened to use this alien to achieve certain goals?

He tilted his head slightly.

Outside the window, the April sunshine is supposed to be warm and warm, but suddenly, it is a bit more gloomy and dark, and even the downtown area in the distance seems to be shrouded in gloom and terror.

It was late at night.

Outside the Ping An Square.

A bullock cart is carrying some coal and parked in a yard with no houses outside the workshop.

The big men who ran out of the workshop were already waiting here.

As soon as the ox cart stopped, two officials in white gloves came over and shouted, "Check the goods."

The big man seemed to be very close to the official family. Familiar, greeted with a smile, and quietly stuffed some money.

The official family simply swept the coal carried in the ox cart, guessing that there was no hidden object that could be beheaded or lost in office, and these big men were all familiar with each other. He waved his hand and said, "Release the goods."

After saying that, he went back to the hut in front of the yard to register.

This white glove is a person in the "Sheji Pavilion", one of the six pavilions of the dynasty.

The Sheji Pavilion and the Righteous Pavilion belong to the same six pavilions, but their functions are different.

The officials here are responsible for the supervision of goods such as yards, docks, and passes. Wearing "white gloves" means not taking anything.

Apart from this, there are also black gloves. Most of the black gloves perform tasks such as engineering infrastructure. The meaning of wearing "black gloves" means that they are often stained with dust and their hands are naturally black.

The big guys got the order to release the goods and started to unload the goods.

They are all skilled workers with fast and steady unloading.

Not long after that, a large carload of coal was unloaded and transported back to Ping'an Square by car.

Delivery late at night, nothing special.

As long as the ox cart can enter the city before the night ban, it will not affect when the goods are unloaded. This is also the policy implemented by the dynasty to promote commercial prosperity.

Of course, the unloading location is regulated, and it will not affect the residents.

Midnight falls.

Mother Mo seems to be used to the cold swordsman going out at this time.

There was a thin layer of gray-black scum on the ground beside her, and some antique objects were placed on the table.

These objects are also stained with black fines.

The most important thing about antiquities is to keep them as they are. Cleaning them is sometimes superfluous, which is not good.

And obviously, these antiquities are taken out of "coal".

Of course In fact, ninety-nine percent of the coal in that truck is real coal. As for the "coal" that hides ancient objects, it's actually smashed by scorched people. The resulting carbon residue.
