Chapter 494 The protagonist of one person [Three in one]
November 22, 5:32 am, Tianhe Road, Lianjiang City.
Because winter is approaching when the days are short and the nights are long, the sky is still dark and turbid due to light pollution. Naturally, even the stars in the night sky are stingy to show to the creatures on the ground. However, today is sixteen, and the moon is still bright and round.
The ten lanes of the Tianqing Road Highway have now been cut off by huge cracks. Even the fully enclosed BRT bus station has been shattered in half. The traffic police team was dispatched urgently and has completed pre-arrangements for diversion on nearby road sections in preparation for morning peak traffic.
Tianhe Road is undoubtedly an important transportation thoroughfare, and Tianhe District is the commercial district of Lianjiang. I don’t know how many people flock to Tianhe District from various districts in Lianjiang to work. Now Tianhe Road has collapsed, and the subway line 3 below has also collapsed.
If there is an emergency shutdown, traffic will be greatly affected.
However, it was not the Deputy Director of the Countermeasures Bureau's turn to worry about these matters. Yu Kuangtu glanced at the monk construction team under the spotlight working overtime to repair the cracks in the earth, and turned his head to look at the huge footprints on the asphalt road in front of him.
The huge footprints were very close to the crack in the earth, only about ten meters away. The footprints were very large, enough for two or three adults to lie inside, and were about the depth of a palm. According to rough estimates, this kind of depth could be achieved by stepping on the asphalt road.
The weight of a creature with footprints should be calculated in tons...
Li Dan was stroking the soil in the footprints for almost two hours. He slowly exhaled, stood up and looked for Yu Kuangtu and said, "These are the footprints made by the source of trouble."
Yu Kuangtu: "...You can only come up with this nonsense in two hours?"
Li Dan: "This source of trouble is caused by the existence of cracks in the earth."
Yu Kuangtu: "Who doesn't know? Speed surveillance cameras have already captured the entire process of the birth of the source of trouble."
Li Dan glanced at him, with no emotion in his decadent dark eyes, and said calmly: "What I'm good at is tracking, not reasoning... Three days ago, this job should have been handed over to another deputy director.
of."
Yu Kuangtu was speechless for a moment. In fact, Qiao Muyi was promoted to deputy director not only because of her strength, but also because her work efficiency was far better than that of other teams during her tenure as captain. She was competent in both fighting and handling cases, and the team members suffered casualties.
The overall rate is the lowest, but making money and vacations are the highest.
Qiao Muyi gave out poisonous chicken soup every day and choked her superiors to death. She could still live so freely and make the team members happily enjoy her leadership. Naturally, she had very real interests.
Yu Kuangtu sighed: "Can you confirm who took action?"
"It's a seeker from the Immortal Palace." Li Dan said: "Although the surveillance camera only captured her stunning side, and she also changed her clothes, her specific appearance and walking style did not change. Indeed, she spent 7 minutes and 32 minutes
In seconds, the huge source of trouble that appears here will be completely killed."
Yu Kuangtu's face cast a shadow. The power of the seeker in the Immortal Palace has been known in the previous "Destiny Live". She is an existence that can hang herself from a height of 10,000 meters to kill the source of laziness and disaster. Her strength far exceeds that of ordinary fourth-level monks.
, but it actually took more than 7 minutes to fight such a source of trouble?
If there were no seekers in the Immortal Palace, but instead they waited for the countermeasures bureau, the Yangtze River troops and the army to come to suppress them, how much time would it have taken and how much damage would have been caused?
Yu Kuangtu glanced at the tall buildings next to the structures on both sides of Tianhe Road, and the source of trouble was a full 178 meters high, and its tonnage was hard to estimate. Wait until they come over to kill the source of trouble, the source of trouble
I am afraid that the nearby area has been completely flattened, and the bustling area on Tianhe Road will also be turned into history, and the casualties are probably in the tens of thousands...
It was only then that Yu Kuangtu felt a sense of fear: They had just missed the worst disaster in the history of Lianjiang City!
Generally speaking, most areas with highly concentrated populations are extremely safe and disaster-free places. The location selection of important core cities in large countries will refer to disaster records over the years, such as areas where earthquakes, floods, and tsunamis are theoretically possible.
Basically, there is no chance of the country's resource tilt, unless you have no choice like Fanying.
Therefore, major cities around the world rarely suffer major disasters. Even if the population density is as high as a sardine can, they will only suffer man-made disasters and rarely cause major casualties due to natural disasters.
However, the existence of the source of trouble makes all cities with unique geographical locations become dangerous.
"Found it! It's in the subway lane, heading towards Tianhe Center! Direct direction!"
A surprised voice came from the walkie-talkie. After hearing this, Yu Kuangtu and others immediately jumped down from the crack. The leader of the monk construction team spat: "Everyone, hurry up and seal the opening!"
The interior of the subway was a long way from the ground. The monks used the rocks to slow down and successfully landed in the subway. They walked off the subway platform and saw that the glass doors on the platform and the lanes on both sides had been opened. They identified the direction and walked in.
The first stop was in the lane of Tianhe Center, and I sprinted forward along the track.
Two minutes later, they saw an elliptical circle of light illuminated by a flashlight in the distance, and several countermeasure monks wearing black vests gathered around. Yu Kuangtu approached and heard a magnetic bass speaking: "...
… There are no obvious external injuries on his body, and his appearance is haggard, but his teeth are very neat and beautiful. Only the bottom of his hair is pale, and the tip is still very fresh and black. He should be burning life energy to activate the spell..."
A corpse that looked like a decrepit old man in his 70s or 80s was sitting in the driveway. His hair was gray at the bottom. He was wearing a red and white plaid long-sleeved shirt and jeans. His shoes were Adidas ultraboost series. There was also a full-screen mobile phone on the ground.
Yu Kuangtu's first feeling when he saw this corpse was that it was awkward: the clothes and shoes indicated that this person should be a young man who liked running, but his appearance was that of an old man who was very old and could be considered in mourning...
If he hadn't known that he must have been made like this by extraordinary power, Quang Tu might have thought that he was a violent programmer in his thirties.
At this time, he discovered that the person squatting in front of the corpse was not a monk from the Countermeasures Bureau at all, but a blond man wearing a white windbreaker!
Yu Kuangtu's face darkened, he came over and shouted loudly: "Why do you let foreign friends come to such a dangerous place!?"
The blond man turned his head and saw him. He immediately stood up and wiped his palms. He rolled his blond hair around his ears with his fingers in embarrassment and said to Yu Kuangtu in smooth Mandarin: "I'm sorry, I asked you to come down here."
, has nothing to do with others.”
"Deputy Director, I brought him down." A female Countermeasures monk plucked up the courage and saluted: "I think Mr. Leopold helped in the investigation! Moreover, it was actually Mr. Leopold who took the lead.
Notice the body sitting in the shadowed corner of the driveway!”
Yu Kuangtu glared at her fiercely, then took a deep breath and said: "I remember that the watchers should stay on the ground waiting for news instead of coming down to investigate... This is a matter for our Xuanguo Countermeasures Bureau!
"
"Of course it is your business. I have no intention of competing with you for credit." The blond man said: "I am just eager to investigate... When I heard that the source of trouble appeared here, I knew that the followers of the Demon King must not have gone far, so I couldn't wait to come down."
"If my recklessness makes you very unhappy, I hope to get your forgiveness." The blond man said sincerely: "But our goal is to catch the devil. If you don't trust me, you can send others to supervise
Me, but my investigative abilities are among the best among the Watchers, so please let me join in the investigation."
"Deputy Director, Mr. Leopold is really capable."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Leopold is a good man. He acted with us just now. There was nothing illegal."
"Deputy Director……"
"Okay!" Yu Kuangtu waved his hand, took a deep look at the blond man, and sighed secretly.
This man who is respected and supported by the monks of the Countermeasures Bureau is the person in charge sent by the Federal Watch to investigate the Demon King incident. He is known as the second strongest of the Watch and is called the 'Prince' by the world.
.
When he came to Lianjiang, Qiao Muyi had disappeared without a trace, but he did not blame or express his anger. Instead, he lowered his profile and actively joined the investigation team. In just two days, he and the Countermeasures Bureau
Everyone has established a good relationship with him, and all the countermeasure monks who have come into contact with him are full of praise for him, calling him a modern knight.
In the entire countermeasures bureau, there were only two people who were not interested in him: Yu Kuangtu, and Li Dan next to Yu Kuangtu.
Whenever Yu Kuangtu communicated with Bright, Yu Kuangtu would feel his heart tremble, and a cold breath poured into his mind, keeping him rational throughout the process and subconsciously resisting communication with Bright.
But it's useless if he doesn't like it. In terms of combat power, Bright is a Level 4 Extraordinary. If he dares to lose his temper, he will only bring humiliation to himself.
The countermeasure system also ordered that the Lianjiang Countermeasures Bureau should work with investigators from the five extraordinary organizations to investigate the Demon King incident and only the Demon King incident.
Compared with the investigators of the other four extraordinary organizations, Bright was the easiest to get along with, so Yu Kuangtu had no choice but to accept his existence and examine the withered body on the ground together.
"The deceased Zhao Yao, 25 years old, male." Li Dan quickly found the deceased's wallet and found many documents, and said: "There is an access card, the address is Gaode Building, it should be a workplace. He is not Lian Jiang
Registered monk."
Yu Kuangtu examined the hands of the deceased and found that there were two characters tattooed on the palms of his hands: "Demon" and "King". He probably did it himself, as both characters were tattooed crookedly.
Yu Kuangtu knew that as the most important contact terminal of the human body, the palm of the hand has nerve sensitivity far higher than other skin, and the pain sensitivity is naturally far beyond that of the arms and buttocks. Tattooing words on the palms of one's own hands is a terrifying will.
To complete this useless ritual that produces a sense of self-satisfaction?
But this kind of detail just proves that he is a fanatical believer of the Demon King... However, he is already dead.
Bright said: "He was so young in the photo, but now he is so old. He must have cast an extremely terrifying spell at the cost of his life, right?"
Yu Kuangtu nodded: "Yes."
"Did he make that crack that goes deep into the ground and crosses the highway?" asked a countermeasures female monk.
Yu Kuangtu said lightly: "It should be."
"Sure enough, the followers of the Demon King have a very close relationship with the source of trouble. He created a crack, and then the source of trouble came out. This is definitely not a coincidence," Bright said in a deep voice: "He wanted to start a riot in the center of Lianjiang City.
A disaster that caught the world's attention."
Yu Kuangtu turned his head and looked at Bright, vaguely aware that Bright had taken the topic in a direction he didn't want to see: "Demon followers do this all over the world, but this time it's Lian Jiang's turn..."
"It's different," Bright shook his head slowly, with a worried look on his handsome face: "In the past, the followers of the Demon King would not sacrifice their lives to create the source of trouble. Only this time is different, he would rather sacrifice his life
, but also to create a powerful source of trouble...
Perhaps, because the investigators of our six extraordinary organizations are all in Lianjiang, someone wants to use this method to hold us back..."
"Is it Vice Qiao...Did Qiao Muyi do it!?"
"She is so cruel. This is the city where she has lived for many years. She wants to destroy it as soon as she escapes!?"
"Is it true that the Demon King has no emotions?"
The Countermeasures monks who knew the inside story all sighed in shock, anger, and disbelief. Yu Kuangtu glared at them, making them stand up straight in silence.
At this time, Bright explained: "I'm not referring to the suspects who are on the run, but if the real devil knew that our investigators were all in Lianjiang, he might indeed do something like this to draw our attention."
"Fortunately, the seekers of Asgard came to help, otherwise countless lives would have been lost that night. Asgard is indeed a partner of justice." Brett sighed with a smile. He raised his head and looked at the ceiling, closed his eyes and clasped his hands together,
As if thanking the Immortal Palace: "If there was no Immortal Palace, I really don't know what would have happened..."
When the Countermeasures monks carried the body to the forensic doctor for examination, Bright suddenly said to Quantu: "Next, I will trouble you again."
"It's not troublesome, it's the construction team that's troublesome." Yu Kuangtu said calmly.
"No, I made a suggestion to all countries around the world at the meeting last night..." Bright said: "Although it is not yet certain whether the escaped Qiao Muyi is the devil, as long as we find her and confirm whether she is the devil, we can make a big decision."
We will significantly advance the progress of 'Searching for the Demon King'. Therefore, finding Qiao Muyi is still our first task."
"You will soon receive orders to patrol all places where disasters occur and where the Demon King's followers died."
Yu Kuangtu was slightly stunned: "Why?"
"By establishing the devil's thinking model, we believe that he is a careful thinker, good at committing crimes, and a pleasure criminal who pursues a sense of achievement." Bright leaned against the wall, put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, and said seriously: "The devil is like this
People are likely to go to the scene of a disaster caused by themselves, appreciate their own masterpieces, and even understand the scene when the disaster and death occurred by investigating the traces at the scene..."
Li Dan suddenly said coldly: "Maybe you will also join in the investigation?"
Bright was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, laughing so hard that tears almost came out. He scratched his head and curled the blond hair around his ears with his fingers: "You Xuanguo people are really humorous."
After a while, he stopped laughing and said: "So I suggest that all countries send extraordinary people to monitor all disaster sites and death sites of Demon King believers. Maybe they can find some clues. Well, Xuan Guo calls this plan '
Waiting for the rabbit'.
And because the first suspect is still at large, based on the suspect's skin color and appearance, we believe that she should still be in East Asia. After all, the appearance of a strange Xuanguo person in other places is too conspicuous.
Therefore, Xuan Kingdom, Fanying and other countries need to implement the 'wait and wait' plan 100%, and you may have to work hard in the next few days."
Brett shrugged, patted their shoulders, and said with an embarrassed look: "I'm sorry, brother, your workload has been increased."
"It's your duty, no need to apologize." Yu Kuangtu said calmly without smiling, "As the deputy director of the Countermeasures Bureau, I should work hard."
"Yes, after all, you are the protagonist of this investigation, so everything depends on you." Bright smiled.
"Protagonist? No, I'm not." Yu Kuangtu slowly shook his head.
At this time, the female Countermeasures monk next to her also smiled and said: "Mr. Leopold, if anyone is the protagonist, then you are the well-deserved protagonist of this investigation. It was you who caught the Demon King's followers, and it was you who persuaded him to
The six extraordinary organizations in the server united to capture the Demon King, and it was you who advised the investigation team... You are now the protagonist of the world!"
"It's everyone's credit, how can it be blamed on me?" Bright smiled sheepishly: "I've already said it, just call me Bright."
"Then...I'll call you Brett. Brett, where do you think Joe...the Demon King might appear?"
Leaving a Countermeasures monk to accompany Bright, Yu Kuangtu took Li Dan and left towards the platform.
Brett, who was chatting with the female Countermeasures monk, turned his head and glanced at the backs of the two of them. The smile on his face faded slightly. He stretched out his fingers to rub his temples and curled his bright blond hair again and again.
…
…
"That's it."
In the early morning in Tokyo, after Ayane went to work, Ren Suo opened a YouTube video and showed it to Qiao Muyi.
"Um."
Qiao Muyi, who had his back turned to him, responded in a dull voice. Ren Suo clicked his tongue, knocked on the coffee table with his index finger, and asked, "So do you know what happened?"
"In the early hours of last night, the source of trouble appeared in Lianjiang, and he was beaten to death by a seeker." Qiao Muyi said softly.
Ren Suo said: "Then do you know what this means?"
"I know," Qiao Muyi said in a low voice: "If no seeker appears, the source of the disaster will cause huge casualties. Everyone will blame me for this crime, and my colleagues in the Countermeasures Bureau will completely believe that I am the devil...
…
Now, although the seekers have killed the source of trouble, they will definitely think that I created the source of trouble to retaliate against the countermeasures bureau that captured me...
If this kind of incident happens again in the future, the six extraordinary organizations will definitely think that it was me.
The longer I escape, the more sins I will bear..."
Ren Suo slapped the coffee table hard and said, "Hey, look at me and talk, why are you pointing your butt at me? I know your peach-shaped butt looks good!"
Last night, Ren Suo was sitting in front of Qiao Muyi's room and heard her call "Ren Suo", and Ren Suo immediately responded.
Then this morning after Qiao Muyi left the room, she had been deliberately avoiding Ren Suo, as if he were a ten-year-old cockroach, not wanting to look at him or touch him.
Ren Suo thought to himself, would sitting in front of a girl's room late at night cause such a big drop in favorability? But if he thought about it seriously, if a man sat in front of his room late at night, he would definitely tremble with fear.
trembling.
Therefore, Ren Suo deliberately provoked Qiao Muyi, thinking that if she beat him, he would be clean. Unexpectedly, after hearing his speech, Qiao Muyi did not get angry at all, but turned slightly sideways, so that he could only see
Half ass.
Ren Suo sighed secretly, walked over and twisted Qiao Muyi towards him, looked at her and said: "What I mean is that the Immortal Palace is on our side now! Even if there is a disaster that wants to frame you, they will
I will definitely help and prevent disasters from happening!"
Qiao Muyi turned her head to avoid his gaze and hummed softly: "Whatever you say. So where should we investigate today?"
Ren Suo felt a stomach ache when he heard this. He shook his head and said, "We can't go to the investigation point anymore. I received intelligence that there will now be Wuhun Palace warriors stationed at the investigation point. We had no chance to investigate in the past."
Qiao Muyi blinked and asked confusedly: "Then... what should we do?"
"Go somewhere else!" Ren Suo said, "Let's just treat ourselves as ordinary tourists and try our luck at various scenic spots. Maybe we can meet passers-by who have clues!"
"Luck... luck?" Qiao Muyi suddenly laughed, broke away from Ren Suo's hand, hugged his legs, buried his head in his chest, and said with a wry smile: "I have been so destitute that I can only rely on luck. I have long since
It's time to realize...I'm at the end of my rope."
When the routine comfort time came, Ren Suo took a sip of tea to replenish his fluids.
Just as he was about to speak, Qiao Muyi suddenly said coldly: "Go back."
"Huh?" Ren Suo was stunned.
"I have lost. You can go back. Baiji, Yu Kuangtu... and Chengling are here. As long as you say you don't know me, nothing will happen."
Qiao Muyi stepped his head into the darkness he created and said softly: "Don't follow me, I'm just a villain destined to fail, a witch who will be burned on the rack, a fugitive surrounded on the cliff... I can't
Continue to drag you down so selfishly."
However, I also want to be selfish once in a while.
"Of course, I won't give up. The two people's goals are too big. I will continue to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes. What will be the result... It depends on my luck. My luck is sometimes very good."
Therefore, I don’t want this occasional luck to be buried with me.
"You go back and practice hard. If I can't clear my name, I will keep running away. Maybe there will be a chance to meet you. You can look forward to the day when we meet again."
Yes, meeting again is my greatest luxury. Something as boring and vulgar as staying together forever is really not suitable for me.
"So, go ahead, I don't need you to accompany me."
Qiao Muyi didn't speak anymore. Ten seconds later, she felt a wave of spiritual energy.
Indescribable relief and heart-wrenching regret occupied her thoughts at the same time. Her body couldn't help but tremble. She gritted her teeth to prevent herself from crying so shamelessly.
Why does it smell so good?
"Fried chicken seems to be quite good for breakfast. If there are children next door, they will definitely be hungry for it."
She raised her head and saw Ren Suo eating fried chicken wings with great interest. Suddenly, a fried chicken bucket appeared on the coffee table.
Not caring where Ren Suo had taken out the fried chicken, she opened her mouth, but found that she could no longer say what she just said.
Qiao Muyi had already regretted it just now, so when she saw Ren Suo was still there, her regret instantly turned into refreshing joy, blocking her reason, affecting her tear ducts, and paralyzing her tongue.
If Qiao Muyi didn't have strong self-control, she might have pounced on Ren Suo and ravaged Ren Suo a hundred times...
Seeing Qiao Muyi wanting to cry but holding back, like a child whose toy has been lost, Ren Suo scratched his head and said: "Well... Young Master, believe me, as long as I am by your side, all your difficulties will be solved."
I already risked my life to solve it yesterday."
Qiao Muyi took a deep breath and asked with a trembling voice and a complex tone: "Why are you so sure?"
After Ren Suo finished chewing the fried chicken wings in his hand, his mouth was full of oil. He thought for a while and said: "Because you are the protagonist of the legendary story, you will definitely become a man of this era in the future, a big shot in the extraordinary era, and you can be the devil king."
Gained the respect of everyone..."
Ren Suo blinked and found that for some reason, Qiao Muyi's face was covered with tears, and his nose was filled with bubbles from crying.
She wiped the snot bubbles with her sleeve, took a deep breath, and said with a cry in her voice: "You, you know, I take Line 3 to work every day, and I always pass by the Tianqing Road subway station."
"I sometimes go skating on the fifth floor of the square over there. The ice surface has just been smoothed and is very smooth. It's very comfortable to skate on and it doesn't take any effort at all."
"There is a good Korean barbecue restaurant there. I just discovered it. I think next time you and Cheng Ling come to the city, I will take you to try it."
"There is also a game center with a lot of arcade games. I like to go there and play Taiko Master... I think you will definitely like that place."
"If, if the seeker had not appeared, and the source of trouble had destroyed that place, not only the people in Lianjiang would hate me, but I would also hate myself! Why can't I do anything? Why can I only watch this happen?
…”
"Where can there be such a powerless protagonist..." Qiao Muyi bit her lower lip and couldn't help wiping her tears with the back of her hand: "The whole world thinks I am the devil, and I all know that I am the devil... Why do you still have such a big deal with me?
Confidence? Why can't you give up on me?" Her next few words were all broken.
Looking at the crying Qiao Muyi, Ren Suo found that he had overlooked something.
Unlike outsiders like him who already knew the outcome, Qiao Muyi was truly enduring the pain of confusion and injustice.
Ren Suo was a little unhappy before that he had to be the warm baby and comfort the maid, but now he is relieved. He knows the future and encourages the people in the present not to give up and to go on unswervingly. This is an obligation and also
responsibility.
"Eat a piece**."
Qiao Muyi raised her head in surprise and saw Ren Suo handing a piece of rattan pepper chicken steak to her.
Noticing Qiao Muyi staring straight at him, Ren Suo held his chin and said seriously:
"If you insist on getting an answer from me...then I will answer you, because I am not the whole world, I am the unique Ren Suo."
I am a player who owns a Small World game console, and I am also a mortal who can predict the future.
"Even if the whole world thinks you are the devil, in my eyes, you are my protagonist."
Qiao Muyi took the chicken steak blankly and asked softly: "A protagonist?"
Ren Suo nodded affirmatively: "The protagonist of one person."
Qiao Muyi held the chicken steak in both hands, put it into his mouth, and took a bite, letting the crispy outside and tender inside of the chicken and the salty tears bloom on his taste buds.
I am the devil who bears the resentment of the whole world, and I am also his exclusive protagonist.
