Suspect No. 6

Officer Xiao Li behind Qin Yiguan.

The boy gritted his teeth and said, "The cutting technique is exactly the same."

Xiao Li's expression changed slightly.

But then the boy got up, went to the next body bag, and slowly untied it.

Among them were a pair of pure white, bare feet.

Glug glug...

A white water glass rolled out.

Shangguan Xiaotao always had the habit of carrying a water bottle with her.

and...

The boy's gaze was fixed on the bottom of the water glass.

There was a heart drawn with paint and a little white rabbit.

now.

Jiu Zhengxuan some distance away, was slightly taken aback.

I still remember that little white rabbit vividly.

When he first came to the class, Shangguan Xiaotao was very shy and gave him a gift in front of everyone, which was the same model of water bottle.

At the bottom of the water glass is a heart shape drawn by Shangguan Xiaotao herself, along with a little white rabbit.

once.

The classmates thought that Shangguan Xiaotao had feelings of love for Jiu Zhengxuan.

Now it seems...

This is a habit of Shangguan Xiaotao; she even has this kind of hand-drawn design on her own water cup!

And at this moment.

Qin Yiguan closed his eyes in anguish.

A phrase will also come to mind.

"The murderer, male, 35 years old, a painter, wore glasses, and appeared to have religious beliefs, admiring Western demons."

"But, coincidentally, that little girl drew a little angel on her skirt."

"I admire Western demons, while that little angel, in my eyes, is a symbol of holiness, something I despise the most..."

"She was barefoot, wearing a white dress, and had little angels painted on her. I just couldn't control myself..."

"I want to ravage her, I want to sully all holiness!"

"Dirty covers everything!"

This is what the world truly looks like!

now.

The boy snapped out of his reverie, gritting his teeth as he muttered, "It's him!!!"

Immediately.

The boy sent a communication request, connecting with Officer Wang, who was not present.

The first thing Officer Wang said when he answered the phone confirmed the boy's suspicions.

He escaped.

"Suspect No. 6, he has escaped."

The boy remained silent for a long time.

Memories traveled back in time, recalling the moment he met Suspect No. 6 in the Rust City.

The man was very thin, wearing a trench coat and glasses... his face was gloomy.

At that time, Suspect Number Six even said that he would face Qin Yiguan sooner or later!

Later, Officer Wang even used Mechanical Proxy to find Qin Yiguan alone, saying that this matter was not so simple, that there was a bigger fish behind it all, and that there was a traitor in the police station. He offered Qin Yiguan a private reward of 20,000 yuan if he could handle it...

The boy closed his eyes and clenched his teeth.

Looking back now, the face of Suspect No. 6 seemed so strange, so unnatural... like he'd had some kind of surgery...

The complex and confusing information left the boy's mind in disarray.

"Uncle Wang, the criminal information you gave me before was very detailed, and Suspect No. 6 was no exception. His information was comprehensive enough for me to imitate him..."

"But."

"Through out of all that information, he's consistently referred to as Suspect No. 6... What's his real name?"

Officer Wang paused for a moment, seemingly flipping through some documents.

"Suspect No. 6 was the designation given by higher-ups in the original documents."

I didn't pay attention to it at the time.

"Oh, I found it!"

His real name is... Jiao Shensan!

The boy heard this.

As if struck by lightning.

Jiao Shensan?

Jiao Shensan!!!

He is ' Wrath ', one of the Seven Deadly Sins!

He showed up early and stayed by my side the whole time!!!

No wonder 68-year-old Jiao Shensan didn't provide any clues; he knew that Wrath would come after him!

but.

Aren't Jiao Shensan all Digital Human?!

How did he end up in Rust City?!

Rust City is the real world!

What exactly happened?

The boy suddenly looked up and glanced around. He knew that Suspect No. 6 did not have a habit of revisiting crime scenes.

But I still hope to find that shadowy figure in the crowd!

It's a pity.

Qin Yiguan could only see the familiar 053 High School.

The magnificent main building, the spire-shaped laboratory building, the warehouse-like basketball court, the familiar red flag, and the green trees swaying gently in the breeze.

And the students, who looked utterly horrified.

These scenes rotate continuously from Qin Yiguan's perspective.

It felt both incredibly familiar and incredibly strange.

He felt somewhat unfamiliar with this world.

Evil seems to have no limits, and its methods are all-powerful; human nature is so dark and cruel.

Shangguan Xiaotao, a student as delicate as a mimosa, was cruelly dismembered.

What's wrong with this world?

With Officer Xiao Li's special permission.

The boy was finally able to look through Shangguan Xiaotao's electronic textbook.

As I watched...

A memory also surfaced in Qin Yiguan's mind.

Back when I was in the orphanage.

He always went out with Boss Meng to steal things—yes, steal.

They're usually old antiques, like cables, computer monitors, mechanical watches, and even the iPhone he still uses today.

Then they would sell these junk items for a small, meager reward.

Whenever they passed through a Rust City.

You'll always see a little girl begging in the same spot.

Calling it begging isn't entirely accurate; the little girl's clothes weren't actually that tattered.

The little girl held up a blank screen—"I want to keep going to school. I'm saving up to buy Nutrient Pod. Give me some money if you have any."

"Collecting money to buy Nutrient Pod? That's outrageous!"

Meng Jihe, with snot bubbles coming out of his nose, exclaimed, "These Castoffs have no bottom line anymore! We steal, but she's even more ruthless—she just cheats us outright!"

Seven-year-old Qin Yiguan looked at the little girl who was about the same age as him.

Although the girl demanded money with such confidence that she didn't evoke any pity, she still managed to get her money.

But Qin Yiguan sensed a kind of persistence hidden in the girl's big, watery eyes.

From then on.

Each time the boy returned from committing a crime, he would give the girl 1.8 yuan. If he didn't have money, he would give her a piece of cable or a water cup that he stole on the spot.

Although Boss Meng was heartbroken, he didn't stop his younger brother. Each time, he would tap Qin Yiguan on the head and say, "Are you stupid?"

Qin Yiguan even suspected that his mental illnesses were caused by Boss Meng's beatings.

Suddenly one day...

The little girl disappeared.

Boss Meng said, "No wonder she left. You're her only 'customer' on this street. She couldn't make ends meet, so she moved her shop!"

Qin Yiguan scratched his head at that moment.

Just like now.

Inside Shangguan Xiaotao's electronic textbook, there was an old photograph that looked like a candid shot, showing a child dressed in orphanage clothes, scratching his head in a silly manner.

Below the photo is a line of handwritten text by the girl.

"Little orphan, the money you gave me isn't even enough to buy a single screw."

"But my father was suddenly entrusted with an important mission by the Metaverse Government."

"I'm off to school!"

"Many years have passed, and I was surprised to find that we had actually become high school classmates!"

"Qin Yiguan."

When will you finally recognize me?
