Chapter 44 The Succubus Appears(1/2)
"Is there anyone there?" Qiao Licao quickly went to look, "Where?"
"There." I pointed to the rooftop of a residential building in the distance.
There was a vague figure standing on the rooftop over there. It seemed like he was just standing there. However, I vaguely noticed that he was looking over here. To be precise, he was looking towards Qiao An's house.
.That was a very clear look with voyeuristic thoughts.
With my current eyesight, even if it's dark and from such a long distance, I can theoretically see the specific appearance of that figure clearly. But there seems to be a strange power hiding it, and even I can only
I can vaguely capture the existence of that figure. I am very familiar with this kind of hiding power, which is based on spiritual hiding power. That figure is probably a warlock.
In order to prevent the figure from noticing my gaze, I carefully hid my gaze.
"...can't see clearly." Qiao Gancao tried his best to look far away and finally said this.
At this moment, I thought of other things, "I think... maybe there is no need to assume that the person who peeked at Qiao An in the past must be the middleman."
"Have you discovered anything new?" Her attention shifted.
I asked her in turn, "Yesterday when Bluebird and I fell into a different space, you said you came to save us because you happened to be nearby, right?"
"Yes."
"So what were you doing around here?"
"It was evening. I wanted to find the person who was spying on Qiao An, so I searched here..." As she said this, she suddenly realized, "That's it."
"Yes, that's it. At that time, after the blue bird discovered the identity of the middleman, he and the succubus teamed up to imprison him in a different space soon after. You, who was near the entrance of the different space, was in the area of Qiao An's house..." I said
, "In other words, the middleman's body was also near Qiao An's house before he was discovered by Blue Bird. So, why is he here?"
"Because he's here to spy on Qiao An..." she read, "it turns out it's not a coincidence that I happen to be near the entrance to a different space..."
Then, she asked, "But wait, is it the middleman who is peeping over there? If Qiao An has been caught by him... then why is he still standing over there and peeping?"
"Perhaps Qiao An was involved in other secret incidents..." I thought of the eyes peeking at me in school.
The owner of that gaze is definitely not a middleman. If a warlock of the middleman's level looks at me with hostility, it will definitely bring me a certain degree of threat. And even if the owner of that gaze has power, he is at most a bastard.
.But even if it is a miscellaneous fish, if it exposes its fangs to Qiao An, it will be enough to pose a threat that cannot be ignored.
Qiao An is really unlucky enough. He was involved in a campus ghost story, and was targeted by an inexplicable perverted murderer. Now he may be targeted by eyes of unknown origin...
In the dream, I would definitely have thought, "It's impossible to encounter three paranormal events in a row." But for someone with high awareness, it's not that impossible.
"You report to the security bureau first, I'll go to the rooftop over there." After saying that, I sneaked towards the residential building in the distance alone.
Not long after, I quietly walked onto the rooftop over there, and saw a figure standing on the edge of the rooftop.
Although I haven't seen the front yet, I have been able to outline his front appearance with my own awareness, and at the same time I have completely confirmed that he is the middle man. He is a man with a mature face in his forties, and he seems to be shaking slightly.
A commuter with a tired expression is often seen on the subway. He is wearing wrinkled black clothes, and his back almost blends into the night. In the strong wind on the rooftop, he seems to be a ghost who will be knocked over and fall at any time. Who is it?
Can you imagine that this kind of person is actually a perverted murderer who likes to hunt men?
But I have doubts about his criminal motives.
The intelligence shows that he was really a guy who lived a pretty ordinary life in the past, with no signs of a perverted criminal mentality. Even if he killed his friend's family of three based on some personal grudges, he wouldn't suddenly develop a hobby of hunting men.
.
Perhaps those crimes are related to the knowledge he gained about demons. The demon likes perverted and depraved killings. In order to please the demon and obtain taboo power from it, he will dress up many men as women with similar appearances and commit crimes.
That similar appearance may also have some kind of ritual significance. In the past, the ancient people who offered sacrifices to heaven and earth would tie grass into the shape of a dog and call it a "cut dog" to serve as a living animal sacrifice. This deceptive nature
The ritual can not only be used to sacrifice heaven and earth, but also to sacrifice demons, but in the end it cannot compare with a more sincere living sacrifice. And now, the reason why he is eyeing Qiao An is because Qiao An is more in line with his ideal.
What are the conditions for a living sacrifice?
I tried to sneak up behind him quietly and deliver a fatal blow. But after taking a few steps, I stopped. Although he hadn't turned around yet, I realized that he was clearly aware of my presence.
, his "eyes" hit me firmly like a nail driven into my body.
"When you were in school, did your teacher ever tell you about the differences between humans and animals?" he asked without looking back.
I simply stopped covering my tracks and asked, "Do you think you are not a beast?"
"I am an animal." He said without hesitation, then changed the topic and said, "All humans are animals."
"Is this how you convince yourself to annihilate your conscience?" While answering, I looked around. I couldn't see the succubus for the time being. Is it because if you target Qiao An, there is no need to work in pairs?
It's a good opportunity.
At the same time, I was also thinking about his words, and I seemed to get some sense of his criminal psychology.
A long time ago, I listened to a teacher talking about the difference between humans and animals, and I was very disdainful. I thought that humans are also animals. You talk about the differences between humans and animals all day long, immersed in the sense of superiority of being born.
, seems stupid.
But I no longer have such arrogant thoughts. I can clearly grasp the truth that humans are animals, and I feel like everyone is drunk and I am alone.
Later, I got away from this feeling. In the final analysis, nature never defines the existence of differences. Differences are defined by people. Even the conclusion of "no difference" is drawn by people themselves. And if
If I can define for myself whether there is any difference between humans and animals, then I definitely hope that I, as a human, will be better than the animals.
"Animals act according to their own desires, while humans can formulate morality based on desires and act according to morality." I gave the same old and boring answer as my previous teacher, while summoning the Siren Blade.
"Morality...are you worthy of telling me about morality?" He turned around with a smile, "Humans who act like beasts are demons. Do you think joining the Security Bureau can turn you into a human being, Demon Man Li Duo."
Yes, in the final analysis, I am also an animal, no different from him. It is really laughable to talk between animals and animals, but to declare the word morality in their mouths.
But I still want to struggle and struggle, and I want to be a good person in the last few years.
So I slashed at him without hesitation.
There was originally a distance of more than twenty steps in the middle, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye. At the same time as I took action, he took out a long bone knife from somewhere, and immediately entered a life-threatening posture, and
It was the form that appeared at the end of the last battle with the blue bird. It was suspected to be a form of sacrificing lifespan to the devil. His skin all over turned red, his body expanded, and marks like human faces were highlighted everywhere on his body. Give me
The sense of threat brought by him has risen by more than one level. Compared with him, warlocks of the level of Old Bones seem like weak ordinary people.
But it was useless. It seemed that he thought that he would have time to react in this form of burning life. However, my charging speed was obviously beyond his expectation. He only had time to hold the long bone knife across his chest and
After being hit by me, the long bone knife shattered into pieces in an instant, and even his body was knocked off the rooftop by me.
Like an arrow from a string, he shot into the place where fitness equipment was placed on the ground dozens of meters away. His body crashed into the ground under the high-speed impact. However, he would not die at this level. Qingniao said that he had
With his super-speed regeneration ability, even if he is injured, he will be able to repair it in a blink of an eye, but his brain will still be destroyed just in case.
I jumped down from the rooftop in order to reach the middleman at the highest speed. While falling, I heavily stepped on the wall of the building behind me, causing my body to shoot out like a cannonball. There were probably three or four floors of windows.
They were all shattered by this incident. Although the Security Bureau will come to deal with the aftermath and compensate for it, this behavior cannot be said to be without problems after all. Just now, the residents who were saying that they wanted to be a man were afraid that their windows would be damaged.
It seems to you that I am not much better.
Following the force of the high-speed dive, I swung the ax blade in front of the middleman dozens of meters away in the blink of an eye. However, this straight-line attack was easy to see through after all. He hurriedly rolled on the ground to avoid the blow, and fled in a panic.
Outside the community.
I immediately chased him. At this time, there were some scattered passers-by in the community. He seemed to see some hope. As he ran away, he shouted without looking back, "Don't catch up! These people are my hostages."
!”
After hearing this, I gave full play to my moral inferiority and asked him, "Do you think this will work for me?"
When he heard this, he actually stopped attacking passers-by and continued to run away.
Attacking passers-by would also slow down his escape speed. It was a risky behavior for him. Maybe he gave up after some trade-offs. This made me secretly relieved. If he suddenly grabbed him casually from the roadside,
Someone came over and I really didn’t know what to do.
Within a few seconds, I caught up with him and attacked. He quickly turned around and blocked with the bone sword - the weapon that was shattered just now came out again. It seems that the bone sword is something that can be summoned repeatedly.
The weapon's sturdiness is also quite excellent. Although it was shattered by just one blow against the Siren Blade, it was considered to have successfully fulfilled its mission of protecting the master. The middle man only had a flesh wound torn open in his chest and the bones could be seen.
, was knocked out at the same time, but the internal organs were not damaged.
He touched his wound and his expression changed drastically.
"You actually regained your strength... Why did you deal with me? Is it because of the order of the Security Bureau?" He asked angrily, "Or was it to protect the boy? He never came home. As expected, he was taken away by you.
Yet?"
It seemed that Qiao An didn't go home or answer the phone. It was not his fault, but something else happened.
As for the reason why I want to deal with the middleman, on the one hand, it is to eliminate violence and bring peace to peace, and on the other hand, it is to obtain the memories contained in the fragments of his spirit body. But these words will either not be believed even if I tell him, or they will only be ignored after being exposed.
It's not good for myself. I simply responded with a question, "Why are you targeting him? Is it because of your perversion, or... is it to launch some kind of depraved sacrifice to the devil?"
"Perverted hobbies? Depraved sacrifices? These are obviously your favorite things, Demon Li Duo." He sneered again and again, "You have had sex with that sea monster countless times, and you have killed countless people for that sea monster, even if it is placed in front of you.
We demon sorcerers can be said to be extremely perverted and depraved."
"Why have you been lurking as a black market middleman for so many years? Is there some kind of long-term conspiracy plan in the black market in Liucheng?" What I am saying now is what Jade Bird has always wondered.
However, even though I didn't have much communication with the middleman in front of me, I was vaguely aware of his true character. Blue Bird's awareness outside of battle is more acute than mine, but there are some things that she can't see, but I can.
Come out. Maybe it's because I also have a dirty soul, so I have some instinctive grasp of the same dirty soul that is not humane to others.
"Is it possible...you don't have any conspiracy at all?" When I said this sentence, I also felt a little arbitrary, but I still followed the awareness in my heart and continued naturally, "With your power, even in a certain situation
It is enough to gain status in some powerful organizations, but the reason why you succumb to the position of a small black market middleman is because... you like to get along with weak people? In other words, you like an environment full of weak people and like to ravage in this environment.
Weak?"
To be continued...
