Chapter 805: Imminent One (special thanks to the low-key temperament leader~)
"Okay, it's time for me to go." Jack quickly rolled up the oil painting, turned around and hurriedly pushed the door open. "Thank you very much this time. I'll treat you to dinner next time!"
"Oh, you kid, you're doing this again!" Andrew's voice came from behind, "Be careful, don't get yourself involved! Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to your father!"
"I know, I know!" Jack waved his hand without looking back.
After leaving the university gate, Jack looked up at the sky in London. It was dark and depressing, full of heavy gray and black.
He recalled the difficult points discovered during the inspection of the scene in a previous murder case.
In the case, the murderer was clearly unaffected after being shot dozens of times. After killing six members of another family, he escaped for hundreds of meters before falling to the ground and dying.
The monster that can continue to move freely even after being shot has a strange symbol on its body.
There are also strange symbols that were suddenly discovered today. The case seems to be hidden in layers of fog. People are uncovering layer after layer, but they still can't find the truth.
Touching the holster again, Jack knew that he might have to rely more on this old buddy in the future. In other words, this was the only thing he could rely on.
Tightening the holster of his gun, Jack strode towards the distance, but he did not notice at all that over the entire London, traces of clouds and black fog were quietly gathering.
The entire city seemed to be gradually enveloped in black fog as night fell.
From some corners deep in the city, a large number of strange and low roars were faintly heard.
Without anyone noticing, some sticky shadows quickly moved along the corner towards the block where Jack was.
Jack, on the other hand, was rushing towards the building where he lived without realizing it.
He walked quickly all the way. He was over 30 years old and his physical strength was slowly declining due to hidden injuries. By the time he arrived at his residence, he was already out of breath.
Slowly going up the stairs, Jack held his hand on the iron railing and vaguely felt that the surroundings seemed to be getting darker.
A large number of black shadows, invisible to him, quickly penetrated into the murder scene upstairs above him. Like black oil, they quickly condensed into a black human figure as tall as a man.
The human form quickly faded away from black, revealing a white appearance.
Surprisingly, it was Luo Lin, the wife of the previous family who killed her husband and children.
Rowling was smiling, holding a blood-stained table knife in her hand, and stood in the living room slowly facing the door. A strange bloody symbol could be faintly seen on one of her arms.
"Go to the scene first and then take a look." Jack decided in his mind that the symbols just discovered were of great significance and he had to verify them again to see if he could find some new clues.
Thinking of this, he climbed up the stairs step by step.
Chi.
Suddenly, a slight sound penetrated into his ears.
Jack was stunned for a moment, feeling a sudden pain in the back of his head, and then his vision became blurry.
"I!?"
He lost his balance and slowly tilted his head back.
Snap!
Halfway down, Jack suddenly grasped the iron railing on the side.
He closed his eyes and then opened them again. The eyes that were full of justice and belief just now had now turned into a gloomy and cold temperament.
"It's a bit bad. It started like this when we came here."
Lu Sheng shook his slightly groggy brain, but the memory in his mind was extremely complete. Jack himself was also his soul body in this world, so there was no rejection at all when the two merged.
Although there was nothing unusual around him at this time, Lu Sheng, who had experienced many battles, was keenly aware of something amiss as soon as he arrived.
The surrounding air and atmosphere are obviously extremely depressing. It's been so long outside, but not a single pedestrian has been seen passing by.
The most critical thing is that this body is very weak! Very weak!
It's basically the level of an ordinary adult. The only thing that has some fighting ability is the pistol on the waist.
Pistols are fine against ordinary people, but they are completely useless against supernatural beings who don't understand physics.
But now, he can already feel the troublesome aura of supernatural existence.
"The dangerous smell is getting stronger and stronger." Lu Sheng licked his dry lips, and he could smell the killing intent in the air around him.
"It's too late to improve and strengthen in a short period of time. It takes time to adapt to the basic rules of this world! It also takes time to strengthen the body! This is troublesome."
Lu Sheng was different from Jack. At this time, he already felt that the destination above his head had a powerful and terrifying aura that made people tremble all over, suppressing his five senses.
hiss
"Really, how long has it been since I've been this excited??" Lu Sheng took a deep breath. This was the first time he had been in such a dangerous situation.
He was forced to deal with such a powerful unknown existence as an ordinary person.
"Just give it a try! My limit!" Lu Sheng exhaled slowly and continued climbing.
Now it takes at least more than a month to strengthen the physical body before it can reach the human limit. This is still the fastest ideal state.
And even if we go to the limit of human beings, we can't solve the trouble in front of us.
Lu Sheng slowly pulled out the pistol and held it in his hand. His soul quickly adjusted his body state, putting his whole body in an extremely quiet and balanced state.
If this battle doesn't go well, he will really have to go back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year.
Even the pessimistic ones will affect the old professor Andrew, Jack’s parents, and even more people.
hiss
Suddenly, Lu Sheng's footsteps stopped, and a black air suddenly flew behind him.
He didn't look back, squinted his eyes, paused, and slowly climbed to the door of his house on the second floor.
He took out the key and inserted it into the door lock, then reached out and turned the door handle.
Kaka
"Sure enough" the door couldn't be opened for some unknown reason.
He turned around and looked around, and soon saw an iron garbage shovel coming from his neighbor's house to sweep the floor against the wall.
Lu Sheng calmed his breathing, walked over and picked up the garbage shovel, then shoveled the garbage down with his feet and folded it hard.
The garbage shovel pole, which was originally a hollow iron sheet, was broken off at once, leaving only the sharpest upper half.
Picking up the iron rod, Lu Sheng shook it slightly, showing a satisfied expression.
"I can't fight anyone with this body right now."
Holding the iron rod, it was now considered an iron thorn. Lu Sheng didn't care about anything else and continued to climb towards the third floor.
Slowly walking to the third floor, he suddenly heard a slight sound coming from the stairwell behind him.
As he turned around to go upstairs, he glanced behind him from the corner of his eye.
I happened to see Jack, who looked exactly like me, slowly walking upstairs, standing in front of his door, taking out the key and inserting it into the door lock.
That Jack turned his back to him and gently twisted the key in his hand.
The door opened silently, he walked in slowly and stiffly, and the door closed again.
Lu Sheng stopped and began to feel something strange.
"It doesn't seem like it's just a siege." He felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if there was something suppressed in his heart that might burst out at any time.
Holding the iron rod in his hand tightly, he continued to go up, and soon reached the left side of the third floor, in front of the iron door where the murder occurred.
Taking out the key that he had secretly prepared for the purpose of investigation, he inserted it gently and twisted it.
There was a soft click and the door opened.
Putting away the keys, Lu Sheng stood at the entrance and looked inside. The inside was clean and it was impossible to tell that it was a murder scene. It was just like an ordinary household.
There is a shoe cabinet at the entrance. There is a small vase on the shoe cabinet with a withered rose in it. On the belly of the vase, there is a line of words written in red marker: I will love you forever.
Lu Sheng withdrew his gaze and slowly walked into the door. The entrance was a five-meter-long corridor, with the kitchen and bathroom entrances on both sides.
He pulled out the pistol from his waist with one hand, held the iron rod with the other, and moved forward slowly.
When he walked to the kitchen door, he glanced inside, but there was nothing inside.
Then he turned his head again and looked towards the opposite bathroom.
call!!
Lu Sheng suddenly turned his head and looked towards the kitchen again.
There was no one at the door of the kitchen just now, but now there was a long-haired woman wearing a white sweater standing. She held a dinner knife expressionlessly and slashed it towards Lu Sheng's face.
Chi!
Bang!
Lu Sheng held her arm, and the knife was only a few centimeters away from his face!
"Are you crazy!!? No! You are!!?" The memory belonging to Jack made him immediately recognize the person in front of him
"Are you Luo Lin!!?" Lu Sheng felt that the strength of the opponent's arm he was holding was getting stronger and stronger, and he could hear his own arms and muscles trembling and groaning.
The muscles on Lu Sheng's face were twisting. He tried his best to stop the knife from getting closer and closer to him.
Soon, he could almost feel the tip of the knife almost touching his eyeball.
"Fuck you!"
Suddenly, he kicked Luo Lin hard on her abdomen.
Bang!!
Luo Lin lost her balance and stumbled backwards.
Just as Lu Sheng was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue him, his vision suddenly blurred and Luo Lin disappeared from his sight.
He didn't have time to think too much and rolled forward on the spot, just in time to avoid Rowling's dinner knife that was stabbed behind him.
The person who was in front of him just now suddenly ran behind him.
"Damn it!" Lu Sheng quickly pulled out his pistol and shot the woman in front of him three times in the head.
Bang bang bang!!
The gunfire exploded, surging through the narrow kitchen, causing his own eardrums to hurt.
Three bullet holes appeared on Luo Lin's forehead and cheek, and scarlet blood slowly flowed out from the bullet holes. However, the bullet holes healed themselves quickly, as if they had never appeared.
The table knife in Luo Lin's hand remained at the same speed and slashed hard at Lu Sheng's head.
"I knew it!" Lu Sheng gripped the iron rod and stabbed forward hard.
Poof!
This time it worked, and the spike at the end of the iron rod pierced Rowling's abdomen hard.
Lu Sheng let go and stood up quickly, stepped forward and kicked him.
He was once a free fighting master with a level of over 100. Even though his body had not undergone similar training, his movement reactions and accuracy were completely impeccable.
This kick hit Luo Lin's elbow, and the table knife was kicked away, spiraling and falling to the kitchen platform not far away.
Just as Lu Sheng was about to take advantage of his victory, Luo Lin suddenly lost sight of her again.
Bang!
He turned around and struck with an elbow, hitting Luo Lin's neck hard from behind.
At the same time, his elbow opened up and turned into an arm, turning down and grabbing Luo Lin's shoulder.
