The first thousand and forty-seven chapters strange outline
Suddenly, a vague outline appeared in the yard.
Everyone exclaimed.
The outline appeared so suddenly that they didn't even see how it appeared.
"It's not about appearing, it's about disappearing."
Chen Hao stared at the outline: "Because the scene is played backwards, this is the scene when the murderer finished the crime and left."
While he was speaking, the outline had already entered the room. Because the rewind speed was too fast and the outline was blurry, no one could see clearly what happened.
Chen Hao stopped the spell and started normal playback.
In the scene in the white mist, the air in the yard suddenly fluctuated, and then an outline appeared.
Chen Hao said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please pay attention, this is the scene when the murderer first appeared."
Everyone looked at it.
I saw that it was a transparent outline formed by air fluctuations, somewhat similar to a human figure, but not very similar because most of the edges and corners around the outline were square.
The silhouette is about 1.7 meters tall. It is very fast, but it is not walking normally, but gliding at low altitude as if it has no feet.
Although everyone is a cultivator, powerful and well-informed, they can't help but feel chills running down their backs when they see this strange scene.
When the silhouette came to the door, without any movement, the door lock automatically unlocked and the door opened silently.
The outline floated into the house like a ghost, first entering the south-facing bedroom, floating above the bed, with its body parallel to the bed, and then made a straight stab at the heart of the sleeping couple Li Xiande and Wang Daihong.
Everyone looked at it without blinking, but they didn't see any murder weapon, not even a shadow.
It's as if the outline is just a hollow thorn.
However, a large amount of blood immediately poured out of Li Xiande and Wang Daihong's chests, and they groaned in pain.
In the north bedroom, although Li Xiande and Wang Daihong's son Li Ming was fast asleep, he seemed to wake up when he heard his parents' screams and his body moved.
But at this time, the outline had drifted into the north bedroom, and from a certain distance, it made a light scratch on Li Ming's neck.
Immediately, a deep and long terrifying wound appeared on Li Ming's neck.
The blood spurted out and was about to hit the outline, but for some reason, it suddenly seemed to be bounced and spattered elsewhere without even a drop falling on the outline.
Li Ming covered his neck, rolled off the bed to the ground, and screamed wildly.
The cry was shrill and terrifying.
The silhouette did not leave immediately, but floated to the living room and stood still. It waited until the three members of Li Xiande's family were completely dead before leaving slowly.
After arriving at the yard, the outline trembled for a while and then disappeared out of thin air.
"alright."
Chen Hao stopped performing scene restoration.
At this time, all the monks' magic power was basically exhausted. After hearing this, they stopped conveying, let go of their palms, and their luck returned.
Han Xiujun excitedly held up her mobile phone and said, "Chief instructor, I recorded the process of restoring the scene."
Chen Hao shook his head and said: "It can't be recorded."
Han Xiujun was startled: "How is that possible? I took the picture very well just now."
She said, clicking on the video she just shot.
Immediately, Han Xiujun's face froze.
In the video, there is only the scene of Chen Hao and the monks performing the scene restoration spell, but there is no outline of the murder process.
Xie Bingyun explained: "Although the scene restoration is a time retrieval, the essence is still a magic. For modern electronic equipment, this is a non-existent scene, and of course it cannot be recorded."
Han Xiujun groaned and couldn't help but look frustrated.
Chen Hao comforted: "It doesn't matter. Even if the scene can be recreated and recorded, it cannot be used as evidence. As long as we see the murderer's murder process, it is enough."
Yan Hai asked: "Chief instructor, isn't the scene restoration a re-enactment of the scene at that time? Why is the murderer just an outline?"
Chen Haodao: "Because there is no breath of the murderer at the scene, the scene restoration cannot show the appearance of the murderer. It is as if the murderer is invisible. We can only roughly outline the outline of the murderer based on changes in the surrounding environment, such as air fluctuations."
Yan Hai and others exclaimed, understanding.
Yang Wanshu said: "Leader, it seems that I guessed wrong before. The murderer did not secretly control the magic weapon to kill, but committed the murder on the spot."
Chen Hao nodded.
Although I don't know if that silhouette is a person or something, but judging from the movement trajectory, it is definitely not a magic weapon.
If it were just a magic weapon, the scene restoration would be revealed.
A foundation-building monk said: "Judging from the outline shape, it doesn't look very human-like, and the way it walks is completely different from humans and animals. Could it be some kind of controlled puppet or spirit body?"
"It makes sense. If it is this kind of thing, it can be explained by the lack of breath."
"That's right, as long as it has spiritual consciousness, the puppet is almost indistinguishable from the murderer himself."
When the other monks heard this, their eyes lit up and they all agreed.
"This idea is to treat the murderer as a cultivator."
Another Foundation Establishment monk objected: "The puppet can certainly explain the outline, but how to explain the itching felt by the alliance leader?"
Everyone fell silent.
This itching feeling is really troublesome. It can neither be explained nor avoided.
"Perhaps the charged puppet ionized the air, causing fluctuations and causing the itching sensation?"
The former foundation-building monk explained thoughtfully.
Another foundation-building monk joked: "Why, you are a monk who doesn't practice spirituality, but you start doing science?
Do you know what ionization is?"
Everyone laughed.
The monk also smiled and said no more.
Chen Hao was moved in his heart.
Although the reason the monk said was a bit ridiculous, it was not unreasonable.
He had always considered the murderer to be supernatural, but why couldn't the murderer be high-tech?
"Maybe the killer is high-tech?"
Apparently, someone thought of it with him and spoke out.
"It's impossible. It's not like we don't understand Earth's technology. When will it reach this level?"
"That is, if nothing else, the murderer suddenly appeared in the yard, committed the crime and then suddenly disappeared. This is a typical extraordinary method. What technology can do this?"
When everyone heard this, they all denied it.
Chen Hao nodded slightly.
His conjecture cannot be said to be unreasonable, but everyone's denial is even more reasonable.
"I feel like no matter who the murderer is, there is something unexplainable."
"That's right, if the murderer is a cultivator, the itching sensation cannot be explained. If the murderer is an extraordinary person with insufficient strength, and if the murderer is high-tech, there are even more things that cannot be explained."
"What the hell is this murderer? Is he an alien?"
"Maybe we're overthinking it?
Maybe the itching sensation has nothing to do with the case and is just an incomprehensible natural phenomenon."
"Then how do you explain that this natural phenomenon appears at the murder scene? It is a coincidence that one or two of them are there, and it is also a coincidence that it appears at all murder scenes?"
"I'm running out of brains. Analyzing this case feels more difficult than breaking through the bottleneck."
...The monks discussed it one after another and put forward many conjectures.
