The sun is shining, citizens are busy running about their lives, and pedestrians and vehicles are passing in an orderly manner on the street. It seems that everything is the same as before, just like the ordinary street scene before the spiritual energy was revived.
The world in the eyes of ordinary people is often not the truth. They have been busy supporting their families for a long time and do not pay too much attention to other things. Even if there are any terrible dangers, there will naturally be people to deal with them. Over time, they have become accustomed to today's life.
Except that you have to be more careful at night, there is no difference during the day.
As for the terrifying beast tide outside the city a few days ago, not many people knew about it.
All news has been blocked by the demon hunting department long ago.
The dangers and tragedies in this world are all borne by the demon hunting department. It is their bounden duty to protect the stable lives of citizens.
That mysterious organization, like a patron saint, silently protects the final peace of Pingjiang City.
However.
Nearly half a month has passed, but there has been no further action from the demon hunting department.
Even though the sun was shining brightly today, the headquarters of the Investigation Bureau far away in Dongcheng fell into a dull atmosphere. Even the beautiful captain Xu Rong lost her usual ability when knocking on the door.
"Dong, dong dong!"
After hesitating several times, she knocked on the door of the captain's office.
There was a deep sound inside.
"come in."
Xu Rong slowly opened the door and quietly stepped into the office.
Looking anxiously, I saw the captain standing in front of the window with his hands behind his hands, staring at the busy colleagues at the headquarters through the glass. The look on his side was very serious, as if he had expected it.
Suddenly.
Xu Rong didn't know how to speak and fell into silence again.
The captain asked the question in a very calm tone.
"How about it?"
"That expert, don't you have any clues yet?"
Xu Rong nodded upon hearing this, her eyes showing shame.
"Um……"
"Our teams searched everywhere, and there was no trace of anyone living outside the city. We didn't find any extra clues. The master seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and there was no news again."
Speaking of this, the guilt in Xu Rong's eyes became even more obvious.
She was the one who forced her way into the captain's office regardless of the procedures, reported the image of the master she saw at night, and was looking forward to it.
The captain was also excited about this incident for a long time and ordered several teams to search at the same time.
The result was good.
I was excited for a long time regardless of the consequences, and spent a lot of energy searching for half a month, but found nothing. This kind of thing is really an unacceptable failure for Xu Rong.
Captain Hao seems to understand everything.
Without turning around and looking back, he smiled and comforted her.
"I see."
"Xiao Xu, you don't have to be so discouraged. We will definitely not find such an expert easily. No matter how much it costs, as long as we can get that person, the situation in our entire Pingjiang City will be reversed, and everything will be worth it!
"
"You're not here this time just to report that finding someone has been unsuccessful, right?"
Xu Rong took a deep breath when she heard the sound, and finally relaxed a little.
Then he spoke again, his face returning to its previous solemn and capable demeanor.
"Report to the Captain."
"It seems to be peaceful recently, but at night, several major events happened. In addition to the corpse of the ghost found last night, several kinds of ghosts that appeared near our Pingjiang City have been driven away and killed."
"It seems that someone is deliberately wiping out the entire Charming Spirit clan!"
Genocide?!
The captain was startled when he heard the sound, and his glasses reflected a gleam of light.
Wait until you turn around.
The captain, who had always been calm, could no longer calm down at this moment, and his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he had heard something incredible.
"you sure?"
"Charming spirits are extremely ferocious existences. Even if all our demon hunting departments are dispatched, it is impossible to achieve this. The speculation of genocide is not a trivial matter. How can we in Pingjiang City have such power?"
Facing the powerful questioning, Xu Rong's expression became more serious.
"Captain, this is absolutely true."
"The previous few times, it was the information reported by each team. Several of our captains went to the massacre site to investigate, and none of the ghosts survived!"
"Last night, members of our team were patrolling the city and accidentally discovered another wasteland. It seemed that it was once a gathering place for ghosts, but it has also turned into a large slaughterhouse. The ghosts died in a terrible way, and they were killed in a pot!
"
Listening to the conclusive report, the captain also became a little unsteady.
He adjusted his glasses and his tone was obviously a little anxious.
"Where exactly is that place?!"
Xu Rong responded immediately and spoke in great detail.
"It is just fifteen miles outside the south city, at the foot of the barren mountains in the northeast. No one walks around outside the city at all, but in order to avoid the news leaking and causing unnecessary panic, our team has sealed off the scene!"
The captain pondered for a moment, put on his coat on the spot and gave the order.
"Yeah, well done."
"Lead the way immediately, I want to go to the site to investigate in person!"
Xu Rong nodded when she heard the sound, opened the door sideways and set off immediately!
Only ten minutes.
Several cars drove out of Nancheng and stopped at the foot of the barren mountain.
The captain came forward in person, which shocked the surrounding demon hunting department members to look nervous.
Walk through the blockade.
The captain always looked serious and had no time to pay attention to the other team members. He was shocked when he saw the ghost corpses on the ground with horrific scars all over their bodies!
That shocking wound was a bit heart-rending. Even if he faced the evil spirit, this attack was too cruel. Even if he had ten lives, he wouldn't be able to survive.
What's even more terrifying is...
When he took a closer look, he discovered that every phantom had several fatal wounds, which was completely inconsistent with common sense. It looked like a massacre!
The captain's eyes began to tremble after he checked for a long time.
"this……"
"If you just want to eliminate the ghost, one kill is enough. There is no need to kill multiple times. These scars are old and new, and some are more like last-minute wounds."
"This massacre is so terrifying. I don't know what existence has such ability, and it is so ruthless. It also hits all the ghosts..."
"This is no longer an ordinary killing, it's more like some kind of revenge. Who did it?"
The captain was suddenly shocked, looking at the corpses everywhere and falling into panic.
Behind this tragic scene, it seemed to indicate a terrifying existence that was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and his methods were so frightening that even his heart was filled with unprecedented panic.
As for the other people in the demon hunting department, they looked at each other in shock and did not dare to say a word for a long time. They stared at the corpses everywhere and fell completely silent.
Only Xu Rong murmured the captain's detailed analysis, and a look of surprise gradually flashed across his eyes.
The memory from half a month ago also appeared in my mind.
That night...
After experiencing the terrible beast tide, the team members also checked the corpses outside the city and found that many corpses had been stabbed. They were so shocked that they discussed it for a long time, and they are still deeply impressed to this day.
Now, it's the same last-hit incident again.
This coincidence was so bizarre that Xu Rong couldn't help but think deeply.
Think about it carefully.
She actually discovered that there was another point of overlap!
The enchanted race that was last hit that night seemed to be the enchanted race that had been exterminated recently.
this!
Xu Rong's eyes suddenly trembled, as if she had noticed some truth.
If it is said once, it may be a coincidence, but twice or even three times, it is definitely not a coincidence, but there is some inevitable connection.
Just when she vaguely thought of something, the sky gradually darkened.
Night is the most dangerous time, and there are often alien races. It is definitely not wise to go outside the city. The demon hunting department also has the important task of protecting the citizens and cannot stay here any longer.
The commander-in-chief stared at the corpses everywhere, then turned around and ordered in a deep voice.
"Return to the city first. This matter must be reported and handled. Actions will be deployed after investigation. No one can spread the news without permission!"
Hearing the sound, Xu Rong also retracted her divergent thoughts and immediately responded.
Several cars set off one after another, heading back to Pingjiang City.
