[Earth City - Kenta Bar (Earth-Moon Orbit Store)]

Yu Ze accepted the invitation and found a private room near the back. He pushed open the door, looked at the man and woman in front of him, and did some quick calculations.

"Fellow villager, this is pretty perverted... This fetish can't be known by the General Investigation Bureau, otherwise it will affect your personal evaluation and prevent you from being assigned to our department."

Corpse regeneration, slave construction, underage Girl.

"Just combining those two keywords randomly is enough to give you a run for your money."

Yu Ze closed the door and casually stuck on a soundproof talisman.

Looking at Wendy Orr, who should have been imprisoned in the Border City Prison but was now sitting here, and noticing the blankness and grayness in her eyes, I looked away and turned to Luo Di.

"However, this is indeed a very good method for investigating cases, and this Girl may be the key to solving the case."

Unfortunately, there are clear instructions from above that I cannot interfere too much with your task; at most, I can only help you enter the platform without registering her identity information.

The other two Invisibility Talisman are considered a bonus.

Thank you.

Watching Luo Di walk onto the platform.

Yu Ze, abandoning his usual casual demeanor, pulled his glasses down his nose, giving a peculiar look. It wasn't scrutinizing a friend anymore, but rather like scrutinizing a suspect.

"Fellow villager, I know you wouldn't do such a vulgar thing. But I want to remind you, don't do anything even worse than vulgarity."

Perhaps your brain subjectively believes that what you did was not wrong, but just a righteous venting.

But once you do that, you are utterly disqualified in some way.

Luo Di glanced back at Yu Ze before leading the Girl into the car.

As the maglev train quickly disappeared from sight, Yu Ze put his hands in his pockets, whistled, and left.

He came to help this time and met such a crucial [Girl], thus obtaining the [cause].

He can now roughly calculate the final result.

Just Yu Ze was about to strike, he paused. This time, he didn't count; he simply put his hands in his pockets and disappeared into the crowd.

Moon City - Rental Apartments

"Young man, you're back?"

The Old Couple seemed to see a man and a woman passing by through the window, but when they went out to check, they found only Luo Di. The man had already reached the corner of the stairs and greeted them briefly.

Although it was a bit strange, they didn't ask any questions.

Back to the rented room.

Luo Di did not tear off the Invisibility Talisman from Wendy's head.

"Living here alone allows one to blend into the local community, but it's not suitable for two people... Not only will going up and down every day attract attention, but this kind of ordinary apartment building is also easy to be exposed."

Now that things have turned out this way, it's time to move to a different place.

The Girl, wearing Invisibility Talisman, stood in the corner of the bedroom, maintaining her bodily functions with the shallowest breaths.

A layer of gray covered her pupils, as if completely sealing off her True Self Consciousness and turning her into an obedient slave.

Luo Di sat down in front of the computer and began searching.

Browsing the forums for a month greatly improved his computer skills, and he quickly found a rental agency in Moon City, deciding on a rental based solely on video information.

A small villa located in a remote area with relatively sparse building density, with a basement attached to the ground floor.

Luo Di paid the deposit and signed the agreement online; now he just needs to go and check in. In Moon City, everything is easy as long as the money is there; there are no complicated procedures.

After quickly packing the two suitcases,

The thought was transmitted to the Girl who had the Invisibility Talisman attached, and she followed behind like Walking Dead, obediently and without saying a word.

When checking out, Luo Di gave an extra week's worth of money, and the old woman immediately understood and slapped the old man's butt.

"Hurry up and drive your beat-up car to take the handsome guy home."

Although the old man was over sixty, he was still quite healthy and had good observation skills because he often drove an unlicensed taxi and sometimes had to deal with rental disputes.

He only needs to glance at the passengers in the back seat through the rearview mirror to roughly tell whether they are good or bad, and whether they have money.

When the young man got into the car, he was surprised to find that the car shook twice. Based on his many years of driving experience, he judged that there should be two people sitting in the back seat, but when he looked in the rearview mirror, there was only Luo Di.

The current time is 20:30.

The city was already shrouded in night, and there were few pedestrians.

The car followed the navigation, driving through a long and dark tunnel, during which my pupils were forced to shrink.

The moment we emerged from the tunnel, bright moonlight suddenly streamed into the car window, so intense it was hard for our eyes to adjust, and we squinted slightly.

In this state, the old man habitually glanced at the rearview mirror.

Through the somewhat blurry vision, when looking towards the back row, I was surprised to see two people: one was a young man I knew all too well, and the other was Girl wearing a tattered white dress with a talisman stuck to her forehead.

The Girl's body was covered with various marks from being stitched together, showing no signs of being alive.

The slightly open mouth was filled with broken and incomplete teeth.

It doesn't look like a human being; it's not human.

But as the old man's vision gradually cleared, only the young man remained in the back row.

Even so, cold sweat still streamed down the old man's temples. After all, he had lived in Moon City for so many years and had even encountered spirit Pseudo-Human.

He was more than 90% certain that he hadn't misread it.

"Mr. Di, is there anyone else with you?"

"No."

"That's good."

Destination - Roswell neighborhood has arrived.

Luo Di paid the fare separately when he got off the bus, not wanting to let others make a wasted trip. Although the old man tried to refuse, he eventually accepted the money.

Just as he turned to leave, glancing through his side mirror at the young man who was still not far away...

The other person had just walked past a bright street lamp, and the side mirror once again reflected a pair of bare, pale feet following behind the young man.

There really is something there!

The old man gritted his teeth, disregarded the danger, slammed on the brakes, and prepared to get out of the car to warn the young man.

Who knew?

He had just opened the car door when Luo Di, under the streetlight, turned his head to him, indicating that he could just go back.

Luo Di glanced at the talisman on the Girl's head; it seemed that its effect had been greatly weakened due to the passage of time.

Next, they were going to meet a real estate agent. To avoid scaring the agent, they simply removed the Invisibility Talisman and had the Girl follow behind them.

Since they look about the same age, they won't be misunderstood.

Moreover, Wendy's image has changed drastically; she's practically a different person.

The Border City Prison has already registered her death information. As long as she doesn't actively expose it, the forces behind her won't find out.

"You must be Mr. Di! Welcome to our Moon City. Your apartment is in Building 7, Unit 102. The one-month lease has been completed, and you can move in immediately with just your luggage."

Here's your room key. Would you like me to escort you to your room?

"No need, thank you."

The real estate agent was also very happy, as there are very few people renting out apartments in this area, and the deal was closed so quickly.

Although he felt that the Girl behind the young man was a bit strange, he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, this level of strangeness was perfectly normal in Moon City.

Speaking less, asking less, and looking less can significantly increase your chances of survival.

New rental apartment.

This is a fully furnished three-bedroom, one-living room apartment with a basement, which is the best rental property Luo Di has ever owned in his life.

"You're in charge of taking all the figurines and posters related to the serial killer to the basement and storing them properly. I'll come down in a bit."

"OK."

After Luo Di finished tidying up the house, locked the doors and windows, and went down the stairs to the basement.

He was surprised to find that the Girl's arrangement was even better than he had expected, showing that she had great taste in matters of the murderer.

Now that things have settled down,

Since this basement is completely enclosed without any glass windows.

Snap! With a snap of his fingers, Luo Di temporarily released the colors that were confining the Girl's mind.

The other person's eyes immediately brightened.

First, she reached out and touched her body, then looked at the young man in front of her with disbelief, at this "perfect killer" who had clearly executed her.

"I...the contents of my brain have been cleared...I have been reborn in another form...I have broken free from the control of the Venerable One."

The Girl's brain is processing information at an extremely high speed.

The moment she finished, she pounced on Luo Di, not to attack, but to show her affection.

However,

A finger was poking into her throat; if it went any further, it would pierce through completely.

At the same time, a commanding tone was exhaled along with the ashes:

"First, you are prohibited from contacting me without my permission."

Secondly, you can only stay in this basement, where there is a toilet to meet your physiological needs.

Third, I will still kill you after the matters concerning Moon City are settled.

Now you can talk to me about the organization behind you.

Wendy wasn't angry; her eyes were full of love and gratitude.

Her goal was already achieved in prison, and being able to continue living in this way far exceeded her expectations.
