Monsters Will Die If They Are Killed

Chapter 24 The Innocent and the Monster

In the Hongcheng 719 major chain homicide and corpse division case, the seventh deceased found so far appeared.

Beside the latest crime scene at Chigu Beach, the mutilated body was sent to an ambulance, and the patrol who rushed in took over control of the scene and blocked the surrounding passages.

Zhang Fucheng looked around the busy site investigators with worry.

"The popularity is overwhelming, and the aura trajectory is scattered... the aura trajectory of the previous crime scenes has been so thin that it is impossible to see where it leads.

He also knew that it was impossible not to patrol and survey the site, and there was no way to prevent passers-by from passing by during the day... In general, Professor Zhang knew that this was mainly because of his poor academic skills and the fact that his spiritual energy had not yet recovered. The law is really difficult to implement.

Through the previous detection of the remains of the victims and the traces of the scene, Zhang Fucheng can roughly judge that the monster should not feed on flesh and blood, it is a wood genus, can absorb water, and its size should not be small—because there is a survey team His patrol found huge climbing traces on the concrete fence beside the river. Regardless of body shape, his body width was at least half a meter, at least much wider than a person's shoulder width.

Water ghost?Demonizing water spiders?Murloc?

Moreover, all the victims have no trace of resistance, and it is impossible to deny the possibility that the other party possesses some supernatural powers.

To be honest, Zhang Fucheng has a very disturbing guess that the unknown demon has existed for a long time, but it has been living in a secret place until recently, either for advancement or for nurturing. The offspring, so they hunt everywhere, hunting the spiritual officials in the human body with potential to supplement their own consumption, or to prepare for savings.

"If you take a step forward, then what we have to face is probably an advanced monster, or a big monster with a few little monsters that God knows."

And this is not a funny possibility.

The situation was not optimistic, and there was no time to delay. When the survey patrols were almost completed, and when they left the scene and did not interfere with the surrounding aura, Zhang Fucheng also began to cast spells.

The same is holding a talisman, lighting it out of thin air, and Professor Zhang closes his eyes and opens his eyes, using the power of the flashing talisman to turn on Yin and Yang to see the surrounding spirits.

Due to the insufficient concentration of the surrounding spiritual energy, this talisman technique is not effective, and the spiritual vision is very vague. After a period of close observation, Zhang Fucheng discovered a faint and fuzzy brown track on the ground, with a sweet and dangerous aura.

If it is a generation full of spiritual energy, there is no need for talismans at all. Any transcendent who has been trained can see spiritually, but in the final analysis, the world has not been opened, why...

"The spirit of the wood genus leads to Ganshui... the wood spirit water ghost? Other monsters that are familiar with water? Or is it just a simple monster that does not drown?"

The situation is complicated and difficult to analyze, but in any case, the opponent's strength, this dangerous feeling...

Professor Zhang frowned and thought about it after the meeting, then turned his head and said to the patrols behind him: "We need a ship and a speedboat-the demon can escape in the water. We may follow its trajectory and we may find the nest!"

"Remember to be equipped with weapons. I can't find this monster, and it is extremely fast, and the strength may be beyond imagination... Yes, heavy weapons, apply for armed patrol support, and treat it as hunting a dinosaur."

At the time when the professors of the Zhengyi Academy and a group of patrols were struggling to search for the trajectory of the monsters and their nests on the Ganjiang River.

However, Su Zhou had already followed an unusually obvious spiritual energy trajectory and came to a sewer.

Hongcheng’s sewer system has always been criticized. In the past hundreds of years, it has rained, and all parts of the city have been like floods. In recent years, large-scale urban water system rectification has been carried out across the country, and all state-level capital cities in Zhengguo The underground system of the city has been repaired, and this has ended the annual ferrying phenomenon in the city.

The track Su Zhou chased all the way into the sewage interception box culvert in the depths of the Fuhe River-through the river,

"It's not the time to be dirty or not." Holding the gun, Su Zhou distinguished the distribution of the surrounding sewers, and then carefully selected a section of unmanned street and directly opened the manhole cover to enter.

The sewers are cold and humid-at least compared to the ground in Hongcheng.Jumping directly down the shaft, Su Zhou landed at the bottom of the shaft, touching the solid concrete floor.

There was no light in the ground. Although Su Zhou had a small flashlight, he didn't want to start off the grass. He turned on infrared vision. After a delay, he saw a vision of thermal energy processed by his brain.

"Well, you can see the spiritual trail."

Obviously, the surrounding sewers are undoubtedly the evil devil’s lair. Just a little sweep, Su Zhou can see dense brown spiritual energy tracks, they are entangled together, and even silted up like knots, like road signs. obvious.

The darker the color, the more obvious it is, the more demons are active there.

Following these auras, Su Zhou walked silently along the long concrete road on both sides of the sewer, and soon he arrived at a fork in the road, where sewage and filth from three directions gathered, and then led to the distant drain. pipeline.

"Strange, why is it unexpectedly dirty or smelly here?"

After entering the sewer, Su Zhou had been subconsciously holding his breath, but even a perfect body could not completely take a breath. Just now, he took a breath with a stinking face, but unexpectedly did not feel the common dirt. Foul smell.

Afterwards, Su Zhou took a closer look, but found that the water in the waterway was unexpectedly not very dirty, and there were even fish and shrimps wandering in it.

"Something's wrong."

Su Zhou began to warn against this abnormality, and in addition to the fact that there were evil demons in existence.

After thinking about it, for the time being, regardless of whether it would alarm the distant monsters, he directly picked up the miniature flashlight to illuminate the surroundings.

Then, he saw that in the crevices at the edge of the sewer, and even at the sides and bottom of the water pipe, there was actually a strange appendage.

It looked like black moss, but Su Zhou picked off a small piece, but was stunned to find that it had a woody root system-and this kind of rooted'moss' seemed to be the source of the purification of sewage and dirt. Although it doesn't have any light, its essence should be a special kind of aura recovery product different from normal moss, which can quickly decompose and purify dirt and reproduce itself.

The moss is very thick, about three or four centimeters thick on average, and the moss has a large area of ​​gnawing marks, which seems to be food for some kind of organism.

Among them, there are many small worms that are shuttled through it. The size of these worms is larger than their counterparts on the ground, and they flee quickly when Su Zhou approaches.

Looking at the surrounding environment, this suddenly gave him some guesses.

"The damp environment of the sewer... is it possible that the unknown demon is essentially a large lizard? Or what insect?"

Su Zhou grabbed a bug and sniffed the smell on it-it was a sweet smell similar to a demon.But this is confusing.

"But why is the breath like a plant?"

With this doubt, Su Zhou continued to move forward-soon, he arrived at a sewer railing where the black moss was so dense that it even blocked most of the railing, forming an arched black pouch, which seemed to have life. In general, it is rising and shrinking, and even the sound of'wheezing' breathing can be heard.

And here, Su Zhou could smell an unusual smell... and this smell was no stranger to him who came from the house of the patrolling doctor.

His brows were frowned, and there was a bad feeling in his heart, but he still had to act.Su Zhou picked up the gun and pierced it straight into the bag. After it leaked a lot of toxic gas, he lifted the moss away from the surface.

"really."

Seeing the contents, Su Zhou's eyes were solemn, his fingers tightened subconsciously, and a trace of anger flashed across his face.But in the end, he retracted the spear and sighed softly: "Rest in peace, the innocent."

Because what appeared in front of the boy's eyes were a few swollen and rotten corpses that had been piled up together.

In the hollow eye sockets of the corpse, a black centipede crawled out and fell into the water.

Like tears.

These corpses should be some people who have recently disappeared.It seems to be used as a medium for black moss.

It can be seen that there are many insects squirming in the corpse, and the gas produced by their movement and the decay of the corpse has caused the pouches to swell and shrink like alive.

And around the black moss cluster, insects, moss, and various strange slime mold fungi have formed a small strange ecosystem, surrounded by strange strange plants and snot-like sticky creatures.

This appendage seems to be corrosive, and it can be seen that the sewer railings have been corroded by a layer. If it continues, it will completely rot after a few weeks.

"There is a spiritual plant that is transforming towards a spiritual creature."

Yarra spoke for the first time, and his tail pointed at a string of dark purple fungi growing beside the corpse. It said leisurely: "If this fungus continues to absorb grievances and filth to grow, it will be called'Bone Eating Black Mushroom', which can be extracted The extraordinarily strong acid that can erode bones, rust and iron in an instant and the poisonous throat that sees blood seals the throat, and it also contains a very large amount of Yin Wood Qi."

"Speaking of which, this black moss absorbs the spiritual energy of the dirt and transforms it into the nutrients of the spiritual plant. I didn't expect the evil spirits to grow vegetables and eat."

"Ok……"

Su Zhou took a cursory look, but didn't care about this. He hummed, but frowned and stared at the rotten bones and the insects that were moving away from him.

After a while, he stretched out his hand and moved the tangled carrion corpses soaked in the water to the concrete road on the side of the sewer.

Su Zhou gently separated the corpses, trying not to damage the bones. After placing them in sequence, he pushed the black moss away from the corpses as much as possible to prevent the attached creatures from corroding them.

——Although it feels slippery and nauseous, although it exudes a rotten stench, although the flesh and blood of this corpse are corrupted into mud, it is falling and separating from the bones bit by bit, secreting poisonous gas.

But they were all human beings.

Innocent victim.

Their souls are gone, and their bones need the last respect.

After doing all this, Su Zhou responded in a soft voice to Yarra: "Even in the sewers, there is aura? I have been on the ground for so long, but I haven't found a spiritual plant."

"Haha, Su Zhou, do you think the sewer is closer to the ground vein, or is it closer to the ground?"

At this moment, Yala was chuckling. The snake spirit looked around, as if he could see through the underground water system of the entire city. It calmly said: "Your country seems to have started to lay out a long time ago-oh, this The entire sewer system, urban power supply system, network optical cables, signal base stations and subway tunnels."

"So much electricity, so much water, so much flowing energy and potential, and the information confined in the light, the nodes composed of the spirit clusters spread in the electromagnetism... This is a kind of artificial ground vein, artificial Lingmai!"

"That's it!"

Hearing this, Su Zhou was a little stunned. He finally understood why the Hongcheng underground system, which had not been repaired for more than ten years, was actually completed within two years after the central government issued an order: "So, the evil demon is Was it born because of this special environment?"

After speaking this sentence, the young man was stunned for a moment. He turned his head, his eyes turned blue and purple light, and looked into the distance.

He stared at the huge aura that was rapidly approaching with a rumbling echo in the corridor in the distance.

——Here, so fast!

"No, you made a mistake about the causal relationship-the evil demon is about to be born, so you chose this suitable spiritual vein manifestation."

At this time, Yala’s voice sounded. While answering Su Zhou’s question, it also carried a thought-provoking smile: "Su Zhou, did you see it? Then prepare to fight, my covenant... , This is your first encounter with a "monster" other than a "human"."

"This is the first hurried and sudden'death battle', will you win it, or will you run away?"

"Does that still need to be said, Yala."

The response is a raised gun!

Su Zhou squeezed the seven-foot spear in his hand, and pointed the tip flat toward the front. His tone was calm, and his anger was secretly expressed: "Whether it is a human or a monster."

"Anyone who is evil, I will kill them!"
