"Later I learned that most of the murderers used poison gas bombs, so they did not leave any obvious impact on non-living objects. However, just when I was about to leave, I saw such a mysterious team of silver uniforms.
Man, they subdued me and then... they probably killed me, right? Because when I opened my eyes again, I had already started a new reincarnation." Zhang Ke said.
"According to what you said before, if your life is taken away, you will enter a new time cycle - this means that we were killed by those mysterious people last time, so we woke up in the underground ruins again, right?" Ye Suling speculated:
"If we go further, this group of mysterious people seems to be unwilling to let go of anyone they see alive. They neither intend to capture anyone for torture, nor do they want to listen to our explanations and exchanges. If they see them, they will immediately kill them. There is no second option.
."
"It seems like this... It's a bit scary to think about it. Those people were like the God of Death in silver, leaving no one alive wherever they passed." Zhang Ke frowned and said, "Let's make a bold guess.
In my last reincarnation, I didn’t see a single living person along the way. I’m afraid it was also the fault of these mysterious people. They had already killed everyone along the way and... hid the bodies?”
"Or maybe, according to their technological level, they can decompose the body directly on the spot without leaving a trace, or melt and dissipate it?" Ye Suling said, "The two of us were originally hiding in the ruins and slipped through the net.
It's a fish, but it was rediscovered because it took the initiative to travel so far."
"At present, this is the only explanation, which barely fits the situation, but there are still many things that I can't figure out..." Zhang Ke stroked his chin and said in a deep voice: "The first thing is the motive. Why do these mysterious people do such cruel things?
, directly massacred all the residents and pedestrians in this area?"
"Generally speaking, the reasons for mass killings are just the following: either they have a blood feud with a certain victim, so they directly anger the family and kill the family; or they are caught committing illegal acts such as robbery and theft, and they are trying to escape during a struggle.
He was too excited and couldn't control it, so he killed everyone involved in the scene..."
"But it only affected a few, maybe a dozen people at most. It only affected a few families, but now people in a large area have been wiped out." Zhang Ke questioned.
"Hmm... So there is another possibility that may make sense, that is, the murderer has a deep collective hatred or disgust for a certain race, certain groups, and people with certain characteristics, and must massacre the entire group.
Only by eradicating everything can we relieve our anger, such as Hitler's persecution of the Jews and mass executions in concentration camps during World War II."
"...But, this area is just an ordinary suburban countryside, why do you have any hatred for the people nearby that you have to kill?" Zhang Ke still found it difficult to understand.
"The last conjecture... is that this mysterious group of people has done some shameful things in this area, or is about to do it, so all possible witnesses must be eliminated before we can be completely at ease."
Ye Suling said, "In order to keep the secrets, we had to carry out large-scale extermination to ensure that no one would leak the secrets, including us who appeared later."
"Is it a silencing plan to keep it secret..." Zhang Ke didn't say anything else this time. He just silently thought about the details that he might have ignored in the past. Although there was no definite evidence yet, he subconsciously felt that maybe this was the case.
Probably the closest guess to the truth.
"Now that I know something like this will happen, I can't just sit back and do nothing." Ye Suling said and stood up, "As a people's policeman, even if I can't stop it with my own strength, I must at least pass on the information -
Judging from the desolate scene in the early morning, the time of the murder is probably between midnight and early morning...that is, right now!"
"Wait a minute." Zhang Ke stretched out his hand to pull Ye Suling out and asked, "There is no point in rushing out now. If we assume that the mysterious people really have the ability to kill such a large number of residents in one night, and cover up their corpses,
Traceless capabilities and technology. Then what do you think is the reason why our mobile phones are shut down now?"
"You mean...the reason why the mobile phone has no signal and the time stopped running is also caused by the interference of that group of mysterious people?" Ye Surington immediately understood Zhang Ke's thoughts, "Indeed, this kind of thing must be done.
The level of technology, at least within the scope of what is imaginable, is no more difficult to accept than letting thousands of people disappear overnight."
"Yes, this place is in a remote place. It is too difficult to get out on just two legs without being discovered by those mysterious people. However, all means of transportation that can quickly lead to the outside world, or channels to send information to the outside world
, must have been blocked by those who want to hide secrets for a long time. Even if you run out now, apart from adding a new victim, you can't do anything meaningful - you can neither save others nor pass on information.
go out."
After hearing Zhang Ke's analysis, Ye Suling reluctantly stopped, but it could be seen from the emotion on her face that as a responsible and moral police officer, she knew that a large group of people were being massacred, but she could do nothing.
Standing back and watching in silence is really a torture of conscience.
"Don't blame yourself too much. A group like the mysterious man cannot be fought by a single person. Preserving the vitality is the first priority." Zhang Ke comforted, "What's more, since time can be recycled,
Then those people still have a chance to be rescued, and we should take the opportunity to collect more intelligence, investigate more specific and detailed situations, and then consider how to act."
"Well...but if we want to investigate intelligence, we still have to go out." Ye Suling said.
"Yes, just hiding underground will definitely not work, but I think it is unwise to leave at least now." Zhang Ke explained:
"Because they should be slaughtering the city at the moment, and if they go out now, they will only fall into a trap. And in the morning, because the sun is bright, it will be difficult for the two of us to hide alive, so acting too early is very risky - not to mention all the journeys in the last reincarnation.
As you can see, except for the absence of people, there is nothing unusual about anything else around. This shows that even if those mysterious people kill so many people, the real plan they want to execute has not yet begun."
"That's right - since you have to kill so many people to feel at ease, it means that what the mysterious person wants to do requires a large-scale open space and cannot be hidden in a room or a building. Once it really starts, the surrounding people will
You can see clues all over the place, otherwise there is no need to take huge risks and know such a huge crowd." Ye Suling also said with sudden realization.
