update icon Updated at 2023/3/1 11:17:12

The rain had stopped, and the morning light spilled through the gaps in the rain-washed clouds, gilding the city with a golden-red glow.

The young girl wearing a red scarf sat on top of a glass facade building , under her lace skirt, her legs wrapped in white silk , wearing khaki boots, swaying gently, her clear eyes looking out at the rising sun in the distance.

"System?"

"I'm here, host."

"You always eat those strange stuffs, won't you get sick?"

"No host, it's my duty to cleanse the filth of the world."

"Then will you eat anything else?"

"No host."

"Then I am relieved." The young girl breathed a sigh of relief and pulled out a box of strawberry vanilla flavored Pocky from the slit in her chest, unwrapped it, took one out, cupped her hands and sent it between her pink lips, like a squirrel protecting her food.

"But ...... why are my snacks always somehow disappeared? It's like someone is stealing my food!" The young girl tilted her head, and her small mouth chewed while muttering.

System, "......" No, that's you eating too fast!

......

"What’s your name?"

Lu Yi Bei awoke from his drowsiness and the moment he opened his eyes, he found himself in a familiar location, being asked this familiar question by a familiar face.

Do people from these mysterious organizations capture people without considering their feelings? I've just walked on the edge of a ghost gate... hello!

( ╯-_-)╯┴-┴

"I mean, sis, can you ask something new? Didn't we meet here just a few hours ago?" Lu Yi Bei said expressionlessly.

The little maid slapped the table, crossed her arms and said, "Shut up, I don’t want to ask you either!" I was worried about switch on your chatterbox!

"Hey...!" Lu Yi Bei sighed helplessly and said, "My name is Lu Yi Bei! I guess your next question is going to be how old am I?"

The little maid rolled her eyes and said, "No, I just want to ask if you remember what happened when you were attacked last night?" Since you have said so, then I will not!

"Yesterday ......" Lu Yi Bei recalled and frowned, "I came home, tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep, not long after that there was a knock on the door, then he came in, and then ......"

Speaking of this, Lu Yi Bei suddenly recalled swinging the Ming King statue at "Mr. Rabbit", and then "Mr. Rabbit" rolled down the stairs and lay motionless on the floor. The scene of "Mr. Rabbit" rolling down the stairs and lying motionless on the floor, the lingering stench of rotting blood seemed to reappear in his nostrils for a moment.

A strong sense of discomfort emerged, he could not help but puked, his face turned blue and pale.

The little maid expected Lu Yi Bei's reaction, seeing this, she gently shook her head and handed over a box of tissues and a glass of water.

When Lu Yi Bei calmed down a bit, the little maid continued, "Would you feel better if I told you that you didn't kill anyone?" There were a few hints of sympathy in her tone.

"So ...... is that a kaidan?" Lu Yi Bei asked, his eyes fixed on the glass of water in a daze.

"Sort of." The little maid nodded.

The little maid's answer is like a good medicine, so Lu Yi Bei's discomfort instantly subsided a lot.

"That's good ......"

Lu Yi Bei suddenly thought of something, a sudden surge of anger surfaced in his red eyes.

"Damn it! You guys are using me as bait, aren't you! If you are going let someone to be the bait, how come there is no protection?"

"I get it, you guys think that it doesn't matter if I die, right? Damn it, you bunch of goddamn animals! Do you have any humanity?"

"Don't talk to me about life is lighter than a feather, or heavier than a mountain, I don't buy it! I'm hurt, my young heart is seriously hurt!"

Lu Yi Bei shouted, his chest heaving, his red eyes staring deadly at the little maid, his fierce gaze as if he had teeth on his eyes, wanting to tear a piece of flesh from her body.

"I'm sorry, but I'm the one responsible for protecting you. ......" The maid lowered her head and bit her lip, "And, unfortunately, you killed only one of the lowest of the freaks, Mr. Rabbit. ......"

"Haven't caught it yet."

The anger in Lu Yi Bei's heart gradually calmed down, "Then I am considered to have eliminated the harm for the people, right? Can you send a banner? It's best to have a commendation for bravery, I heard it can add some credits."

The little maid looked up at Lu Yi Bei's serious face and tilted her head, suddenly feeling that she had a lot of question marks in her head.

From angry accusations, to shamelessly asking for a reward, this breathtakingly smooth emotional switch, how on earth did he do it?

......

At the same time, the first floor of Flower City Folk Culture Administration.

A clean white room, the smell of disinfectant mixed with blood wafted, echoed with bursts of heavy metal rock music.

A body with a hideous wound on its forehead was lying on a silver autopsy table, with many corpse spots on its purple body.

Next to the autopsy table, stood a woman of about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, gently swaying her tall, voluptuous body to the rhythm of the rock music.

She was wearing a black professional outfit with a white coat over it, while the collar of the white shirt was slightly open, the hidden cleavage seemed to emphasize - look at me, look at me!

Black thick long hair ably coiled up, a blood-like red lips holding a lady's cigarette, a light humming tune following the rhythm, seemingly intoxicated in the music, but the lancet on her hand precise and unmistakably cut open the body.

The woman's name is An Qing, is Flower City The Night of Justice Association "Ⅵ" of the main cadre.

The woman's eyes were slightly narrowed as she looked back and forth at the corpse on the autopsy table, frowned and pondered for a while, glanced at her wristwatch and turned to press the recorder behind her.

"August 29, 8:37, No. 1574 individual records, the individual is unranked deformed species, internal organs have been highly decomposed, the back has ......"

An Qing said halfway through, a footstep suddenly came from behind her.

"Da-da-da-!" Intermittently, interspersed with the light sound of metal hitting the ground.

Soon, the door of the autopsy room opened and Jiang Li walked in.

She glanced at the corpse on the autopsy table, and then her gaze turned to the woman next to the autopsy table, "I knew you would be here when the new kaidan corpse appeared."

An Qing put down the recorder, dropped the cigarette and stomped it out with the tip of her high heels, looked at Jiang Li and laughed bitterly, "Look at you, as if I am having some strange fetish."

Jiang Li took a look at the cigarette butt on the ground and frowned a little, "What about it? Did you find anything?" The tone did not rise and fall a bit.

"Of course, when I dissected it, I found that the exact time of death of this male should be 3-5 days ago, and in its body, there were residues of ghost mushrooms, cow tear glands, and cooked saltpeter ......"

"You mean, it was man-made?" Jiang Li bit her finger and interrupted.

The ghost mushroom, cow tear gland and cooked saltpeter were materials used in an evil ritual, and she had once read about them in a report of a kaidan from Tianzhu.

"That's right." An Qing nodded, "In addition to that, I have another major discovery, you come over here to see."

When An Qing finished speaking, she turned around and easily turned the corpse over on one side with one hand, showing the bloody back in front of Jiang Li's eyes.

Jiang Li looked at the back of the corpse and puzzled, "Although it's a bit perverse to be destroyed like this, but what kind of major discovery is this?"

"You look carefully." An Qing pointed to the corpse on the autopsy table and smiled as a reminder.

Jiang Li frowned, covered her mouth and nose to get closer and observed it carefully.

On the back of the corpse, there were dense wounds and showed a regularity, every few wounds appeared parallel to each other once, like they were scratched out by the sharp claws of some creature.

Jiang Li's gaze swept along those wounds once, and was about to look at them a second time when, as if she thought of something, her face suddenly became grave.

Among the many wounds, there was one that was much deeper than the others, almost completely penetrating the flesh and seeing the bones underneath, and the crimson lines were very smooth, outlining some kind of pattern.

Jiang Li's eyes flooded with a layer of faint blue light, discarding the interference of other wounds, and quickly recovered that pattern in front of her eyes.

It seemed to be some kind of face, extremely distorted, with two eyes, one high and one low, like two large bloody holes, one big, one small. The shape of the face was wholly deformed, with bizarre patterns intertwined on it, just looking at it made people feel a sense of unease.

Retracting her gaze, Jiang Li turned to look at An Qing, "Is it an evil face tattoo?"

"You can see it? Not bad for you!" An Qing raised her eyebrows, a meaningful smile surfaced at the corner of her mouth, "I just don't know if it was learned from the Eclipse Society, or the Miracle Order, that rabbit seems to have some background!"

Evil face tattoo, is a very evil spell style, the upper kaidan by casting on the lower kaidan or other creatures, can achieve the purpose of control, take over, when necessary, can also kill the controlled person, completely cut off the connection.

That rabbit must have sensed that he might have been targeted and sent a puppet to test it, right? Jiang Li thought. An Qing was right, Mr. Rabbit did have a background, and a very strong one.

Lu Yi Bei, the bait, could no longer be used now, but just letting him out was definitely not an option, it was too dangerous.

Should we let him stay at The Night of Justice Association for a while?

Jiang Li was pondering with one hand on her chin when a sudden knock came at the door, interrupting her thoughts.

"Dang dang dang dang...! Dang dang dang--!"

"Damn cripple, open the door! Don't you hide in there and keep quiet! I know you're in there! You're capable of using someone else's godson as bait, but you're not capable of opening the door! I know you're in there!"

"You're not coming out, are you? I won't leave today if you don't come out! I'll sleep here, when you come out, I'll leave!"

Hearing Bai Kai's shrewish shouting outside the door, Jiang Li and An Qing looked at each other and sighed long and hard, holding their slightly swollen foreheads in unison.

"Ai-!"
