Flower City, Peony Street.

Flower City, an ancient city in the southwest with some history.

There are many ancient streets with white walls and green tiles in the city, and Peony Street is one of the most famous ancient streets.

At the entrance of Peony Street stands an ancient pagoda with green tiles on the top and four majestic stone lions at the four corners, the surface of which is polished as if shimmering.

A flowing canal in the center of the street, from north to south, forms winding twists and turns with the shape, and nearly one hundred pebble lanes in a net shape are distributed on both sides, with high walls and narrow lanes, ancient and remote, quite a bit of the feeling of the water town of Jiangnan.

But all this is not the real appearance of Peony Street, but an imitation landscape built up a few years ago to attract foreign tourists.

Only some of the older local people in Flower City know that the small street, which is not more than two hundred meters long, with dilapidated road surface and cramped streets, surrounded by those ancient buildings, is the real Peony Street.

And the real Peony Street is also where the headquarters of Flower City The Night of Justice Association is located.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the sun had completely climbed into the sky, and Bai Kai, who had worked all night, walked out of the entrance of Peony Street with a big meat bun in his mouth, while stretching his back.

From a far, a luxurious-looking black car came along the road and stopped at the street entrance, its body almost completely blocking up the not spacious street.

Seeing this, Bai Kai spat out the half-eaten meat bun in his mouth and held it in his hand, rolled his eyes, and let out a very unpleasant sound from his mouth, "Tch, bad luck ......"

The person who came was Jiang Li, who was in charge of the duty today.

Because of the hurtful words that Jiang Li said to him last night, Bai Kai thought about it whole night and finally decided to blame Jiang Li for Lu Yi Bei blocked him.

I'm so good to Xiao Bei that I can't wait to sleep in the same bed with him and wear in one pair of pants!

How could he really hate me?

That's right! Xiao Bei doesn't hate me! It’s all her fault, she is a bad luck herself, she’s talking like cursing.

As Bai Kai was thinking, he shoved the bun back into his mouth and took a vicious bite, just then the little maid got out and opened the car door for Jiang Li.

Jiang Li got out of the car and saw Bai Kai, who was standing at the street corner, holding a big meat bun like an old dog, she dropping her eyelids while slightly frowning and squinting her eyes, showing a very disgusted expression, just like she had stepped on dog shit when she went out in the morning.

This expression appears on her face, especially a beautiful girl as cold as an ice berg, is almost invincible. After a brief exchange of glances, Shui lost the battle, covered his chest and slinked out of the way.

It's not that I'm losing! It's just the humility of being a senior to a junior!

Bai Kai comforted himself, but why did he feel a little bit like crying?

Did ......

Yes, it's onions! Onions were added to the bun!

Jiang Li withdrew her gaze and completely ignored Bai Kai who was looking at the sky at 45-degree angle, leaning on her cane and walking with difficult steps towards the building at the end of the street that seemed to be a shrine.

Just at that moment, Bai Kai called out to her.

"By the way, there was also an attack in the suburbs yesterday at the same time we were investigating on Everlasting Road, I think you can take a look at the file!" Bai Kai reminded.

Hate is hate, work is work, Bai Kai still felt the need to remind Jiang Li a little.

"Hmm." Jiang Li nodded and responded coldly.

......

The ancient ancestral hall was hidden under several pale ginkgo trees, the gray stone steps were covered with a few wisps of moss, and a brass-colored metal plaque hung on the red stone pillar that had lost its paint in front of the main gate, with the words [Flower City Folk Culture Research Administration] written on it.

Entering the shrine, only a few pedestrians and a quiet and solemn atmosphere. Go into the house facing the main door, a bright corridor with simple decoration stretches straight ahead, as if there was no end.

If anyone had seen the inside of this building, they would have wondered how such a long and thick corridor could be crammed into such a small space.

On both sides of the corridor, there is a heavy metal door facing each other. The front seven doors are marked with numbers from 1 to 7, representing the different rotating main cadres during the seven nights of the week.

Some of those numbers are traditional Chinese characters, some are Arabic numbers, some are Greek numbers, and there are even hieroglyphs, which are not neat and tidy, which are inseparably related to the identity of the owner of the room behind the door.

The corridor further deeper is engulfed by a darkness, although it makes one instinctively feel that there is a wider space inside, but it is impossible to continue exploring with the naked eye.

Jiang Li walked inside, walked to the metal door with "V" written on it, twisted the doorknob, and entered her office.

This is an old-fashioned room, with a four-sided desk, the desktop is covered with glass and covered with a white lace cover made by threads.

On the desk, there is a desk lamp with a green glass shade, a rotary dial telephone, and an enamel tea pot with "For the People" written on it.

If it were not for the brand-new computer on the desk, this kind of office décor from the 1970s and 1980s would definitely make people feel time-traveled when they first enter it.

Although Jiang Li is on duty today, usually there are few kaidan before dark, which means she still has seven or eight hours to do what she wants to do.

It's still early, so Jiang Li patiently watered the flowers on the windowsill, slowly made herself a cup of strong tea, and went in front of the computer to play with mahjong.

Such an iceberg beauty, is holding the same teapot as the old man, playing a mahjong game with the top-end computer, no matter how you look at it, it is full of a sense of discord.

Half an hour later.

Jiang Li won two games with crushing momentum, then turned off the game and clicked on a crescent-shaped icon on the desktop, followed by the words [The Night of Justice Association File Management System] popping up on the screen.

Started to read the kaidan files that were uploaded during the time she was not on shift.

"Click-!"

[Kaidan incident number 1032

Kaidan Code: Mr. Rabbit, energy response level C

First case date: May 5th.

Case Summary: A serial missing case occurred in Flower City, and each missing person has 4 things in common.

1. All were alone before they disappeared, including at their work place, neighborhood, residence, etc.

2. Near the place of disappearance, all were found with white rabbit biological hairs.

3. The missing individuals all received an advertising leaflet from a rabbit doll at different times and in different places.

Description of the advertising leaflet: It is a sheet of paper-like material made from the fur of an unknown creature, the composition of which is temporarily unknown upon analysis. It measures 176mm X 250mm.

First found at the scene of the first victim, it is black with a bright yellow pattern and text attached to it.

......]

Jiang Li did not have time to look at the advertisement leaflet carefully yesterday, and after reading the text on it today, she slightly frowned and muttered to herself, "Is it a spell written in Hebrew? Why would it master something like that?"

In Jiang Li's memory, Twilight Girl. did not know this kind of incantation, and the source of Mr. Rabbit's incantation was certainly not from her.

But if it was not Twilight Girl, then where did it learn this kind of incantation?

"Hmmm ...... trigger curse? It looks like that's how that rabbit is targeting."

For a long time, through the experience of the The Night of Justice Association's contact with the kaidan, they have concluded the theory that the sunlight will suppress the power of the kaidan.

A kaidan like Mr. Rabbit, whose power is not particularly powerful for now, it’s difficult for him to successfully hunting its target. So, it uses the curse on the leaflet to lock the target and move by the night.

"Tch, why do people always have to read the contents of such strange things after receiving them? Obviously, the danger would be drastically reduced if they just throw it away, what a bunch of idiots!"

Jiang Li continued to scroll the mouse and browse through the files about Mr. Rabbit, and not long after, it stopped at the top of an audio file.

[No. 103203, Victim Lin Kexin's pre-birth alarm call recording 01.wav]

"Oh? A 911 call?" Jiang Li thoughtfully muttered to herself and clicked on the audio file.

"Click!"

"Rustle-rustle-rustle-!" After a distracting murmur, a trembling voice came from the audio.

"Hello ...... Hello? Is this the police station? I, I want to call the police!"

"Hello lady, this is Linjiang Road police station, what can I do for you?"

" Police! I feel that there is, someone is trying to kill me!"

"Madam, please don't joke around, we ......"

"I'm not joking!" The woman interrupted.

After a pause, the operator asked patiently, "Yeah? And ...... on what basis did you make that judgment?"

"At first there was a man who kept walking around the floor of our company and kept looking at ...... my work station, I saw him I couldn't see his face, but I was sure that he saw me too!"

"He, he followed me, he followed me to my door, he, he was right outside! I heard his footsteps, and every time he got to the door, he, he disappeared ......"

"He, he's here again ......You can listen to it!"

"......" There was dead silence on the other end of the line, not a sound.

"Strange ......where is he?"

"Haha, ma'am, you may be a little tired from busy work, I suggest you take a hot bath and drink a glass of milk, rest early, and have a good day!"

"Duh...!"

[No. 103204, Victim Lin Kexin's pre-birth alarm call recording 02.wav]

"Click!"

......

"You must save me ...... I just called, I just took a shower and came out, I, found him came back, right outside my house, please, please I’m begging you! I don't want to die!"

From the woman's sobbing words, it was clear that she was very frightened, and from time to time, her low sobs covered her trembling voice.

The operator obviously froze for a few seconds and immediately became serious and anxious in his tone, "Madam, don't be anxious, we will help you, please tell me the address! I will immediately send the police!"

"My address is No. 28, Block 3, Fuming Road! I’m Lin Ke Xin!" The woman spoke quickly.

"Yes, ma'am, I ......"

Before the operator finished her words, the woman yelled in a nervous low voice, "Wait! Are you going to hang up the phone? Don't! Don't hang up the phone! Don't! Please!"

"You misunderstood ma'am, I will be here to stay on the line with you the whole time, please don't be panic, I have notified our police officers at the police station and they are on their way there as soon as they can."

"You ...... why are you hanging up on me!?"

"Madam I didn't ......"

"Why did you hang up on me?! Why?!" The woman cried and screamed, "What should I do? What should I do! I've got the couch against the door, but I can feel him coming in! He's about to come in!"

"Wait? Bedroom, bedroom ......"

"......"

"Ma'am? What's wrong with the bedroom?"

"......"

"Ma'am? What's wrong with you ma'am!?"

The operator shouted twice in anxiety, and all he got in response was dead silence on the other end of the line.

"......"

"Click - click - click -!!"

A soft sound like a rodent gnawing on a hard object came from the dead silence, and then the recording was aborted.

......

"Oops!"

Turning off the audio file, Jiang Li frowned and fell into thought.

The spell of unknown origin, the multiple attacks, and the ability to travel through walls are the things that Mr. Rabbit couldn't have done before, and it looks like Bai Kai is right, it's advancing!

Thinking of it, just as she was about to keep looking, the door opened, the visitor was her little maid, holding a pile of files and a few photos in her hand.

"Miss, here are new clues, in the morning, someone found two corpses with high residual spiritual energy in an apartment complex near the university town, suspected to be the derivative body of Mr. Rabbit. This is the data analysis of the scene, and this is the photo of the scene."

Was there a being in this apartment complex that was able to kill the derivative of Mr. Rabbit, and cause his operation to fail?

Is it a person or a kaidan? Such an action would be the equivalent of circling the territory, a declaration of war with Mr. Rabbit!

That unknown existence should have good strength, and it looks like it is confident in itself.

After picking up the information and looking at it roughly, Jiang Li turned her attention to the photos, and not long after, she focused on a teenager and frowned.

Black jacket and sunglasses, wearing a mask, acting sneaky ......

"This person ......," Jiang Li pointed to the teenager on the photo and said. "It is human nature to join the ‘party’, to see what happened, and when a group of people gathering together, he not only deliberately hides his appearance, but also shows excessive calmness and indifference from his expression and eyes, I think he is very suspicious have problems."

"Well, then, Miss, I’ll ......"

Jiang Li's slender fingertips lightly tapped the photo, pointed at the teenager, and coldly said, "This person, catch him back."

"Yes, Miss, I'm on my way!"
