A Glimpse of the True Killer
Qin Yiguan finished speaking.
He slowly walked out of the courtyard, and as he walked, his body became increasingly ethereal.
After taking a dozen or so steps, his body turned into blue code and dissipated.
He's gone offline again!
Jiu Zhengxuan witnessed everything and looked astonished, but he couldn't care less about the doubts and immediately turned around and went into the house.
However, it was discovered that the dark matter monitoring equipment had been destroyed, and the images could no longer be viewed.
He stopped Officer Wang directly.
Officer Wang looked at him strangely and sighed, "The murderer is someone I never expected!"
Jiu Zhengxuan stared intently in the direction where Qin Yiguan had disappeared.
Someone I never expected?
Could it be the ' Perversion Detective ' you hired yourself?
At least, the reason Officer Wang was unwilling to say more was that he was protecting Qin Yiguan and following his orders!
But Officer Wang is now actually the deputy director of the B5 General Police Bureau, while Jiu Zhengxuan is just a Order Squad leader in a non-official position under his father's shadow.
Jiu Zhengxuan was unable to force Officer Wang to answer his questions.
He desperately needs a chance to prove himself.
With irrefutable evidence, arresting that 'rising star of the Underworld,' that ' Brain Dark Zone 001 ' who has fallen into darkness, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
I will not stop here.
Jiu Zhengxuan was now on high alert, thinking, "The fox's tail will be revealed sooner or later!"
But the next moment...
Jiu Zhengxuan inexplicably felt mentally exhausted, and a feeling of drowsiness instantly overwhelmed his mind.
His eyes became unfocused.
I'm so sleepy...
I'm also very hungry...
I haven't slept for a long time because I've been researching.
I need to rest for a while...
20 minutes...
No, it only takes 15...10 minutes...
Then, I will continue my investigation into Qin Yiguan!
Jiu Zhengxuan's eyelids grew heavier and heavier. He slowly leaned against the corner of the wall and closed his eyes without realizing it.
Qin Yiguan opened his eyes.
It was pitch black all around.
Because this is my bedroom in Rust City.
He stared at the ceiling.
Ever since he gained access to the Metaverse through dreams, he has been forced to go online and offline, forced to fall asleep, and forced to wake up multiple times.
"If this keeps up, I'm going to have a mental breakdown."
"What?"
"Do I have schizophrenia?"
"Joke."
"I'm not sick."
The boy sighed; he needed to sleep some more.
The many mysteries surrounding Jiu Zhengxuan have not yet been unraveled; the investigation must continue.
Only by going up and down like this, and 'logging in' from a different place, can we shake off that leech Jiu Zhengxuan.
It's so damn uncomfortable.
I have to force myself to sleep.
But these personal feelings... are not important!
The Metaverse Experimental Zone, Boundary Line.
The area in front of us is a top-tier affluent neighborhood, with each family owning a detached house, and the residents are all extremely wealthy and powerful.
The boy gazed intently.
In the Metaverse era, the virtual world is vast, and land is no longer valuable.
However, there are good and bad aspects to them.
This area in front of us is a prime location.
This place is located in Experimental Zone, but it is also very close to the Core Earth.
In other words, all the ' Reality Enhancement ' works here, but if a crisis becomes unavoidable, one can simply turn around and escape back to the Core Earth.
Once inside the Core Earth, Reality Enhancement becomes useless; a beam pistol is enough to wipe out a top-tier expert.
"Officer Wang, you're such a good person."
"They even revealed Lu Zun's virtual address to me."
The boy was filled with gratitude. "Having Lu Zun's address is like finding Jiu Zhengxuan's home."
The guess in your heart can then be verified.
Qin Yiguan walked down the street, his eyes scanning over the various surveillance cameras. The model, shooting angle, and lens width of each camera were all in his mind.
Some red areas appeared in the field of vision; as long as those areas were avoided, no image data would be left behind.
This ability also comes from [Shadow Syndrome] – the Concealer.
That guy studied all the surveillance equipment on the market and memorized their functions.
Qin Yiguan sometimes walked close to the wall, sometimes crossed the wall, and sometimes suddenly made a 90-degree turn. If anyone saw him, they would definitely think his route was strange.
finally.
He saw the residence, a top-tier villa, five stories high, brightly lit.
But the only perfect hiding place in the surrounding area was a tall, lush sycamore tree, so Qin Yiguan had no choice but to hide in the canopy and watch quietly.
Jiu Zhengxuan seems to be absent.
Lu Zun doesn't seem to be there either.
Only a few servants were walking back and forth.
A female maid, around 50 years old, was carrying a plate of food and walking in the side hall on the first floor. After a few steps, she stopped and looked at the edge of the carpet with a puzzled expression. There, a tender green leaf had sprouted.
The maid's expression was strange.
Every corner of this house has been meticulously cleaned, so how could a leaf grow here?
Before the servants could even check...
The tiny green leaf suddenly grew and climbed onto the tray in the maid's hands, wrapping around a piece of cake.
The maid panicked, dropped the tray she was carrying, and fell to the ground.
But then they saw the green leaves, wrapped around the cake, shrink back under the carpet!
The maid's eyes widened!
She quickly opened her virtual control panel, ready to sound the alarm!
At that moment, a wisp of black mist shot out from under the carpet, instantly condensing into green vines that tightly wrapped around the maid's wrists.
laugh...
The floor suddenly shifted, revealing a dark, gaping entrance.
From within the entrance came a low, sinister voice, "Auntie Lan, I'm sorry, I'm just too hungry."
The maid panicked and struggled desperately, shouting, "Who are you! What are you doing in my basement? How do you know my name?!"
"Auntie Lan, you've served my family for so long."
"The food you made was absolutely delicious."
"I've eaten so much over the years, I really don't know how to thank you enough."
"Wouldn't it be better to..."
"I'll turn you into a plant, so you can live forever, always stay fresh and green, and keep watching me, and I can keep watching you."
"Plants are the most perfect thing in my mind; I'm doing this all for your own good."
In that instant, the black mist suddenly increased and transformed into various plants.
The plants seemed to experience time differently from the outside world, growing and thriving in an instant.
One of the serrated green leaves severed the maid's head, while other plants entwined her body before tearing her to pieces.
The plants, like tentacles, carried the maid's dismembered body to the outdoor garden, scattering and burying it. Above the burial sites, new plants quickly sprouted. Where the maid's head was buried, a lily instantly bloomed and blossomed.
then.
The plants instantly retracted into the underground entrance.
Qin Yiguan, hiding in the tree canopy, witnessed everything and was shocked.
certainly.
This scene unfolded very quickly.
It's like a two-hour movie, from which only a few frames have been captured, and the flashing process only lasts for a few seconds.
In an instant, the maid's head was severed.
In an instant, the maid was dismembered.
In the next instant, she was buried.
Now, the only evidence of all this is the bloodstains scattered on the ground and the lilies swaying gently in the wind.
The entrance on the ground has been slowly closing.
Before that, Qin Yiguan strained his eyes to make out the figures among them.
He stood in the darkness, surrounded by swirling, twisted black mist.
Her once neat hair is now completely disheveled.
His once clean face was now covered in dirt, his dark circles were heavy, and his whole appearance was gloomy, lacking any energy or spirit.
He was chewing on the cake he had just stolen, the dark chocolate sauce dripping onto his pristine white suit, a stark contrast to his otherwise glaring appearance.
That face belonged to Jiu Zhengxuan.
