Chapter 192: The phenomenon of swallowing late at night
As time passed, the sounds of fighting in the factory gradually disappeared.
After the burly man was killed by Fu Cheng, the remaining heretics were also killed by the disciples. Only three or four became prisoners and were quickly restrained and taken away.
Fu Mengjie looked around and didn't find Lin Ze. He couldn't help but feel happy, secretly thinking that the guy should have died in the hands of the heretics. However, just as this thought came to his mind, he saw Lin Ze emerge from the corner out of the corner of his eye, completely intact.
Not to mention the injury, he didn't even take a breath.
"This guy is really lucky!" Fu Mengjie was secretly annoyed. A newly promoted one-star divine disciple could survive such an intense battle. He was so lucky.
Lin Ze saw Fu Mengjie's unkind gaze and was stunned in his heart. He ignored it and quietly approached Fu Cheng's position. The latter was surrounding the burly man's body with two Yan-level disciples, whispering in a low voice.
What are they discussing.
"Yes, it's a weasel pattern!" A Yan-level divine disciple turned over the back of the burly man's hand. There was a dark tattoo pattern on it, which looked like a weasel with sharp claws. "And it belongs to a sickle weasel.
Pattern!"
"Sure enough, it's those two lingering ghosts Kamitachi and Master Luwen again!"
Fu Cheng frowned, with a look of fear on his face, and ordered the two Yan-level divine disciples, "Immediately report this matter to your superiors when you get back!"
"Yes!" they both responded in unison.
Lin Ze, who was not far away, heard their words and felt slightly curious in his heart.
Judging from Fu Cheng's demeanor, he seemed to think that these two people were heretics who had been hostile to the sect for a long time, and they were quite powerful.
On the other side, Fu Mengjie had already counted the casualties and came over to report to Fu Cheng.
After one battle, five fire-level divine disciples died on the side of the disciples, which was close to a quarter of the total manpower. The losses were considerable.
"In addition, some heretics broke out from the back door of the factory, and all the city bureau personnel who were guarding there were wiped out."
Fu Cheng didn't care about the casualties of ordinary people. Hearing this, he immediately said: "Let the city bureau send more people to search the entire factory area and be sure to find the escaped heretics!"
"Yes!" Fu Mengjie nodded heavily, turned around and walked outside.
Not long after, a large number of police officers poured into the factory.
The aftermath of the battle was handed over to the city bureau, while the disciples were preparing to leave under the leadership of Fu Cheng.
When he walked out of the factory gate, Lin Ze looked up and saw Fu Mengjie standing in front of several police chiefs, talking loudly and condescendingly, while the latter nodded and bowed with a flattering smile on his face.
Soon, everyone from the Fire Infant Sect set out on their return journey.
After returning to the sect headquarters and the team disbanded, Lin Ze immediately changed out of his uniform and drove away.
He first walked around the city, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he came to the old neighborhood in the northwest of Chihuo City.
After finding a place to park the car, Lin Ze immediately followed the mysterious connection and slowly walked towards the sensed location.
When he was in the factory, the reason why he allowed the heretic girl to escape was mostly because he wanted her to lead him to the heretic's hiding place. Therefore, when the girl escaped, he had secretly summoned a spiritual beast, a feather bird, to follow her quietly.
behind.
At present, in Lin Ze's sensing, Yuniao was stopping at a place motionless, which was obviously another hiding place of the heretic.
Compared with the bustling city center, the old neighborhood located in a remote corner of Chihuo City is a different scene.
The shabby and dilapidated buildings are grouped together and erected crookedly high. The streets are full of potholes, with water and garbage like plastic bags everywhere. The walls on both sides are even covered with children's graffiti.
A crooked-necked tree stands at the corner of the wall, its branches and leaves stretching out crookedly, bringing a touch of green to the dilapidated street.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and the streets without street lights were extremely dark. Lin Ze was walking along the quiet and old streets. When he approached the sensing location, he reached out and touched his face, and a mask with a silvery luster appeared instantly.
Cover his face.
The place where Hatori is located is an old two-story building. Under the attack of time, the cement on the outer wall has fallen off in many places, and the cracks are clearly visible.
As Lin Ze thought, the feathered bird standing on the edge of the rooftop turned into little particles of light and disappeared.
At this time, people in the building had already noticed someone approaching, and a low shout came from inside:
"who!"
Lin Ze didn't answer. He stretched out his hand to hold down the wooden door and was about to push it open. Suddenly, there was a burst of sound above his head. A young man jumped down from the second floor window and kicked him in the head.
Without even looking, Lin Ze reached out with lightning and grabbed the young man's ankle. Then he swung his hand towards the ground beside him. There was a muffled sound and the young man's face touched the ground.
After touching it, he fainted without even making a sound.
After quickly getting rid of the sneak attacker, he continued to push the door open and enter.
The wooden door, which had been in disrepair for a long time, slowly opened, making a harsh creaking sound. Lin Ze looked up and saw that in the cramped and crowded room, there were only the girl and the little girl he had seen during the day.
Including the unconscious young man outside, there were only three people in total.
"It seems like it's just an ordinary hiding place, not a heretical stronghold." Lin Ze was slightly disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his mood and looked at the girl who was guarding the little girl behind her with a full face.
"Who are you? It is against the law to break into private houses!" the girl shouted in a deep voice.
"Aren't you heretics the most unruly ones?" Lin Ze glanced at the perverted girl and shook his head gently, "Don't worry, I'm not arresting you, I just have a few questions to ask you."
The girl was startled when she heard this, her brows furrowed tightly, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. However, her eyes passed over the young man who had fainted on the ground outside the door. She was silent for a few seconds, and finally decided not to fight with him, and said helplessly:
"What do you want to ask?"
"Why are you going against the sect?"
The girl didn't expect that the other person was asking this, so she couldn't help but look at him strangely: "It seems that you are really not a member of the sect."
Lin Ze said nothing and looked at her leisurely.
Seeing this, the girl had no choice but to give up the temptation and asked instead: "Have you ever heard of the late night swallowing phenomenon?"
Late night phagocytosis?
Lin Ze raised his eyebrows: "Is it related to the strange changes in Chihuo City after twelve o'clock?"
Now it was the girl's turn to be confused: "After twelve o'clock? What happened to Chihuo City at that time?"
Lin Ze was startled, didn't the heretic know about this?
After pondering for a few seconds, he shook his head and said to the girl, "Keep talking."
The girl glanced at him in surprise, and then continued: "The late-night swallowing phenomenon has been a phenomenon since the establishment of the Fire Infant Sect. It means that people suddenly disappear after a night. No matter how hard they look, they can't find anyone. According to the
According to the information we investigated, the same incidents occur every day in Chihuo City, ranging from one or two cases to as many as four or five cases. However, they were all covered up by the Fire Infant Sect and did not spread.
"
Having said this, the girl glanced at the little girl behind her and said with a hint of sadness in her tone:
"My brother and Xiaoyu's mother are all victims of the late-night swallowing phenomenon!"
"They were all sleeping well at home, but when they woke up the next day, they were nowhere to be seen. After that, we immediately called the police, trying to find their whereabouts through the police, but it didn't take long for the Fire Infant Sect to come to our door.
We are required to give up the search immediately and treat my brother and Xiaoyu’s mother directly as dead!”
"We protested several times, but were ignored by the Fire Infant Sect. Therefore, the city bureau stopped helping us. We had no choice but to investigate privately on our own. It wasn't until we met Mr. Kamitachi and Mr. Lu Wenshi not long ago that we
It turns out that the late-night devouring phenomenon was caused by the Fire Infant Sect, and all the missing people died at their hands!"
The girl bit her lips tightly, her eyes filled with hatred.
Lin Ze was silent for a moment, and then asked: "How do you know that what the Kamitachi and Master Lu Wen said are true?"
"I was dubious at first. The reason why I joined the heretical organization was just to find my family through their power. Later, during an operation, we captured a high-level god disciple alive. After interrogation, we finally determined that the late-night devouring phenomenon was caused by the Fire Infant Sect.
It was done secretly, and all the missing people are indeed dead."
"That senior disciple didn't say how the missing person disappeared?" Lin Ze asked.
"He doesn't know it himself. It is said that this is a secret from the upper levels, and only those close to the gods know it!"
"Are you close to the gods?" Lin Ze pondered.
The Near-God One is the highest-ranking person in power in the Fire Infant Sect. There are only five of them. It is said that the one with the lowest strength among them has a seven-star level and is a well-deserved big shot in Chihuo City.
"From this point of view, the late-night swallowing phenomenon is probably really related to the Fire Infant Sect. The rule prohibiting going out after twelve o'clock probably originated from this. At that time, there was probably some kind of danger in Chihuo City that would make ordinary people
People and even divine disciples disappeared."
Lin Ze originally thought that all the ordinary people in Chihuo City would disappear after twelve o'clock, but now it seems that is not the case. Except for the divine disciples, there are still a few people who will appear at that time.
"Then, the remaining question is what is the danger that caused ordinary people to disappear during that time period?" Lin Ze's thoughts were racing in his mind.
It can be inferred from the words of the girl in front of me that ordinary members of the heresy do not know the truth behind it. Most of them are only known by the two people named Kamitachi and Master Luwen. The others are the near-gods of the Fire Infant Sect.
If you want to know the truth, you can only start from these two aspects.
While Lin Ze was deep in thought, the girl continued: "Members of the heresy usually have important people around them who disappear into the late night devouring phenomenon. They join the organization in order to avenge the Fire Infant Sect. This is the reason why we have been fighting against the sect.
!”
"There is no need for such a sect to exist that harms the lives of our compatriots, and the so-called gods are not worthy of belief at all!"
