Path of the Dead Prequel: Wings of Silver

Once upon a time, behind the thick felt cloth soaked in blood, there was a butter corpse lamp swaying in the cold wind. A short and stocky man silently closed his eyes, backed away, and went down to the deepest part of the mountain to sit down alone. Directly in front of him was a horrifying corpse, a corpse whose head had just been sewn shut and inflated with a fire-skin tire. The man turned a blind eye and moved his lips, as if he was talking to him or saying goodbye to an old friend. Unknowingly, the figure reflected on the rocks suddenly became extremely large.

There is silence in my ears, but I feel the sound of iron chains in the ground coming from all directions. What is this? For a moment, I looked around and saw the elites of the dark world standing upright like javelins. Suddenly, a powerful air mass exploded from behind the felt cloth, and two black figures appeared on the rocks. The living and the dead were sitting on the ground, gesticulating, and seemed to be arguing about something.

This unprecedented evil technique is called Thanatos Soul Scythe Corpse Examination Technique, and the person who mastered its essence is this sinister man. Although the identification of the real culprit ended in failure due to Henghuang's intervention, at that time, I paid attention to this person.

If the magic is so good that it is not impressive, what I value is the integrity. In that battle against Shura's Pine, which cost all the blood of the people in the world, we had a bad start and our commander was killed at the very beginning. So this man took over the battle flag and continued to lead everyone to resist with all their might, eventually wiping out the Ghoul Queen at a very small cost. This person rarely makes mistakes, and even makes every move in the right place. The most valuable thing is that he can accept criticism regardless of who the target is. All things considered, he left an extremely deep impression on me.

Yes, I can't believe it no matter what, this guy appears in front of me again after we say goodbye to Wicker Town!

"Soul Scythe Eubisio? Oh my gosh! When did you arrive in North Carolina?"Although he is also one of the nightmares and treats the prisoners like pigs and dogs, at this moment, I am still a little surprised. But since this person is sitting in the hotel lobby, there will naturally be two other old faces nearby. As expected , a big dark man with a smooth chin, came from behind the business center

"Ruddock's razor?"When I saw an acquaintance, I stepped forward to say hello. Looking around, I didn't see the tall man walking with him.

"The Straw Boy left with the broken-armed San Vitale, and they never returned to Europe. He sighed angrily, punched me in the face, and said,"Charlotte arrived yesterday morning and stayed one night in Wicker Town, then came here.""

The Uneka Duanshan Mountain Area is the sphere of influence of the Sons of the World. Since they came there, it undoubtedly means that we are being watched. However, Soul Sickle waved his hand and said that we are not worth the good ram's precious time. They have His own plan. In view of the two extremely dark forces that emerged during the destruction of Lycu's ancient shady house, he obtained the consent of the Brotherhood's grand leader and led a group of Tunisian troops to come to the United States again in order to establish checkpoints. , who claimed to be Xuan Zan, in an attempt to investigate the Henghuang incident. During this period, they needed a place to stay, so the little old man recommended everyone that there was no need to buy real estate, and they could pre-book a building at the cheap and high-quality Fruit Core Hotel. Face, when you finish it, when you leave, it also looks neat and tidy

"Children of the World are all over the United States, how do you know there are no such people in Charlotte? Maybe the old man sitting in front of the newsstand, maybe the backpacker wandering in front of the door. Ruddock chuckled, pointed to the floor-to-ceiling window with a good view, and said:"They don't come to you because they are busy with their own things, and everyone else knows your every move.""

"It took a lot of effort to lay down the basics and build the 0514 warehouse. The result was like building a big prison for myself."The female soldiers should be familiar with them. They were employed by Tieblich last time. She was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the group of defenders, teasing me with high spirits. When she saw Dixie coming in from outside, she couldn't help changing her color and asked :"Why are you still hanging out with her?"

"No, something went wrong when breaking into the warehouse. Sister Di seemed to have encountered an evil ghost in the sun. This was an indirect consequence caused by the detective. Of course the culprits are all fat people."I quickly walked into the front desk and asked Krys to reserve a room for her first, but she spread her hands and said that they were all sold out today. When I raised my head, I saw Fat Fan coming downstairs and standing in front of the crowd like Grandson.

It is said that he who disappeared in the afternoon was the son of Charlotte's world. The little old man ordered him to leave for Castonia immediately and bring back these rams because they did not know the road and refused modern electronic products. Then Went to the Rhinoceros Restaurant for a hearty meal. This time he went upstairs to the boss's room and proposed to Lao Ai that he would rent out the entire fifth floor as an office space.

Since the super demon formation of 0514 Countercurrent Magic Sun was broken, Lao Ai's hotel was The child became popular, and many people came to visit. The fat man no longer had to worry about saving money all day long, so his face was full of joy. A series of good things came to him, and he seemed to be ushering in the second spring of his career. So at this moment, he is receiving Watching a few of Tieblich's cadres, they were looking at the guest rooms upstairs.

"Was it really recommended by Bolton? Instead of coming here to monitor me because of the TV broadcast?"I saw the kind rams were whispering, so I couldn't help but approach Fan Pang and whisper,"Why didn't you say hello before you went out?"

"The mobile phone was confiscated and was not retrieved until the driver came back. He lamented and said:"It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a disaster that can't be avoided. It's coming anyway, so just take it one step at a time." Let’s go about our business behind closed doors and try not to come into contact with them."

If only the common sense of the world were like what the fat man said. However, the dark world is like a drug. Once you have been exposed to it, it is difficult to get rid of it. Of course, this does not mean that this group of strongmen likes to intimidate and induce, or that Stalking. No, strictly speaking, they have high self-esteem and are not willing to get involved in the turbulent world. But they are closely integrated with the real society.

For example, if you want wealth, you have to find someone capable in the dark world to give it to you. Check them; if you have a series of dark gods visiting your home, you have to find them; or if you are threatened by someone and want to completely eradicate the trouble, you still have to rely on them in the end. Well, assuming you are a person who follows the rules and has a clean life, There is no criminal record. Do you think that you will not come into contact with them? You are still not immune.

You will always have financial difficulties; you will always have time to go to the casino to play; you will always find it troublesome to go to restaurants; you will always If you can't solve your physical problems by yourself, don't go shopping. As long as you step out of your house and come into contact with this society, you will naturally encounter them. The dark world is involved in all aspects of normal society, just like a dark web covering all industries. It's just that when you go If you can't stand the threshold of others, they will be indifferent to you, so these guys are like invisible people in your eyes.

No, Soul Scythe Eubisio has been amazed by Dixie. The age gap between the two is smaller than mine, and they are attracted to each other. He is a person who has been in society for a long time and is sitting not far away chatting. Because the female soldier added fuel to the fire, the short man was very curious about her and asked how he got entangled with someone like me. From this, we can draw the conclusion that this A bunch of rams, they didn’t even know about the exorcism in the warehouse.

Just as I was about to stop him in time, Sister Di had already told him about Chuuk in the nightmare with a sullen face. By the time I walked up to him, the two of them had basically finished talking. Eubisio Rubbing his face, he patted the back of Sister Di's pink hand and said that he didn't need to take it too seriously. Maybe it was just a coincidence that he was thinking about something day and night. The more he thought about this kind of thing, the more likely he would dream about it. Let's start with Just relax and wait a few days before talking.

"So we're both checking in with each other. Dixie pointed at me and said,"I want to find out what the problem is.""

"This kind of thing still needs to be looked at for a few more days. If it lasts for seven days, we will worry about it again."Hun Si Da took out a can of Xia Mian from his arms, handed it to her hand, and said,"This is a drink made from various flower petals. It can make people relax completely and ensure you a dreamless night."

I hurriedly pulled Dixie up and went upstairs. We couldn't book a room today, so we had to ask her to spend the night in our guest room. Anyway, Krys was on duty tonight, and this group of people came to the hotel. I and a few others were destined to stay downstairs. The dormitory is naturally undisturbed

"This is not good, I'd better go to the Sheraton and book a room. She looked at the bamboo tube in her hand and asked doubtfully:"It's okay for me to take this kind of drink given by a stranger. Besson, are you sure it's okay?""

"No problem, we drank it like mineral water when we were underground. It tastes like honeysuckle tea and is a health product."After opening the door to the sixth floor, I helped her sit down, then poured Xia Mian into a water glass, divided out a small half and drank it to show that it was not poisonous.

"That person suddenly said something strange just now and asked me when my heart was opened, but I never mentioned it. How did he know?"

"Oops!"I just remembered that what Soul Scythe is proficient in is mind reading. Even if you want to keep a secret, as long as you sit in front of this person, you will be seen clearly. Since ancient times, Tieblich's specialty has been interrogating criminals , to extract a confession. In this way, maybe when the two of them were talking, Eubisio had already taken a deep look at her. Thinking of this, I could only sigh:"You will have no privacy at all in front of him. And he happens to be an expert at reading minds. This is the scary thing about the dark world."

Dixie then took a bath and swallowed a few pills she brought with her. She never touched the jar of aestivation and soon fell asleep. I didn't feel like staying any longer, so I turned on all the wall lights as she asked. , and then quietly closed the door.

When he went downstairs, he saw that the detective had come back. After Fan Pang's warm introduction, the two shook hands symbolically. Then they sat at one end of the sofa and had nothing to say to each other. In Lao Dai's eyes, he looked down on the so-called dark world. It is not difficult to see this from the words he occasionally revealed in the past; but for Eubisio, Brovek belonged to the group of Emeralds. The pan-world or the extremely dark world, naturally have different paths and do not conspire against each other. The two of them looked at the scenery aimlessly, their eyes crossed and then quickly turned away.

Therefore, the dead fat man and I also appeared in this atmosphere. I was embarrassed, so I had to stay alone and chat with each other.

Looking around, I saw that the busybodies and Ruddock were all gone. I thought they were tired from the journey and had gone back to their rooms to rest. After asking, I found out that they had no trace at all. Without booking a room, this group of people went to the rooftop and were engaged in a practice called singing to the sky. They were accustomed to an ascetic life and did not pursue material comfort. They could just find a cave or wilderness and settle down.

The detective was also there Thinking about his own concerns, he just went with Ajia to participate in the activities held regularly by the National Detectives. During the meeting, he heard about an unsolved case they were spreading, which originated from his hometown of New York. Another group of National Detectives seemed to be called the Ambition Generation. The strange case of serial murders that his organization was following up on. Everyone asked him what he thought about it, but Lao Dai had been busy in other states since last month and had never heard of it at all, so he seemed slightly embarrassed.

This was probably a matter of What happened? That is, a serial murderer appeared in the Empire State. This person has explosive anti-reconnaissance experience, is ruthless, leaves no trace, comes and goes without a trace, and many people have been killed.

However, Lao Dai did not I don’t agree with their view. Serial crimes are an inference based on similar techniques, which are manifested as random crimes, so it is extremely difficult to detect. There is no connection between the dead, the time is not coherent, and the locations are completely different. Copycats cannot be ruled out.

Not long ago, the United States just solved the case of a crazy mail bomber that lasted for more than ten years. No one could imagine that the murderer actually lived in a dense forest thousands of miles away, living in seclusion and not communicating with the outside world. Rapidly returning to the form of primitive society in an attempt to achieve the goal of liberating human society, scholars who promote scientific and technological progress have become his targets. This person was ultimately arrested because he told the outside world that if the newspaper industry could publish His paper will put an end to the atrocities.

Based on this clue, from the paper to a letter home, the note finally opened up a breakthrough and captured him. There is also a type of murder that looks very much like a serial crime on the surface, but after detection Later, the essence was quite different. It was actually multiple people who murdered the victims at different times for various purposes. They just abandoned the bodies in similar ways and were grouped together.

This time, the local Charlotte National Detective discussed , is a series of mysterious unsolved cases. Aga knew that the Brovek family was good at dealing with such challenges, so he invited him to participate in the event. As for Lao Dai’s suggestion that it should not be made public, it was actually from a large TV network The bald old man was interested in the idea of ​​opening a crime show to increase his popularity.

The two middle-aged men with straight faces sat stiffly for a while, then exchanged a few words, and then the detective dragged his tired body upstairs to rest. I was always thinking about Sister Di, and wanted to go upstairs with him to have a look, but I was dragged away by the soul sickle. He leisurely lit up a cigarette and asked:"Did you open a heart seed on her? How? How long did it last?"

Faced with a person like Soul Scythe who can't hide secrets, I had no choice but to rush into the warehouse a few days ago. Tell the truth about the problem house. Unexpectedly, after listening to this, the short man pointed at me and said, if Dixie really collided with something difficult, it might be because of me, not the detective.

"Why do you say this?"I was stunned for a while, so I had to sit down again and asked

"Heart seeds cannot be opened casually, it depends on the person's constitution. For example, antibiotics are very effective for most people, but for some people, they can cause allergic reactions and toxic outbreaks. Out-of-body demon souls are inherently weak-willed and particularly vulnerable to invasion. If there are high-level demon souls touching them at this moment, especially if they are willing to do so, it will provide an opportunity for other evil spirits with malicious intentions. Eubisio glanced at me, puffed away at his cigarette, and said:"In the past, Bolton and the others fought in the Thunder Violin in another world. Miss Lycugu was diagnosed in advance because she was still a human at that time."

"Could it be that the heart seed can only be opened to living people with demon soul-like substances, and they cannot mess with each other casually?" Fan Pang heard people mentioning himself in other time and space, so he took out his notebook and wrote quickly. While recording, he asked:"What is the principle of this?"

"If, I mean if, this boy is really like the lady who understood him as a ferocious bird of prey, then he is equivalent to a living ghost. Do you understand? Fierce ghosts are stronger than ordinary wandering spirits and can manipulate them at will. The purpose of happy species is to control them. And his operation was like saying hello to other ghosts: Come and occupy it, this demon soul has been invaded by me. From this, others will follow the pipeline he opened and drill holes into the demon soul. So when you dragged her back, you also caused her to be doomed in the future."

"So what's going on with Dixie now? Are you really possessed by an evil spirit?"I heard waves of heart palpitations, and asked

"It's hard to say. There is no clue for a day or two. Obsession is like a disease. It has a process. If it continues to get worse within seven days, this person is basically dead."Eubisio stood up and paced in the hall with his hands behind his back, laughing dryly and said:"I wonder why you are such a lucky boy? Miss Lu Kugu suffered from the silent ring formation, so forget it. But why do you always find stunning beauties?"

"No, she and I are not in the relationship you imagined, let alone what Xiaoyingying speculated. We are good friends, but they are much better than friends. In short, I have forgotten everything, and I can’t tell the details. That being the case, what can you do?"

"Although this woman is sophisticated, she is relatively simple in nature and values ​​righteousness, which is more in line with my aesthetics. To be honest, I don't want to see her suffer. But having said that, it will definitely not work out for nothing, and there will be no way to explain it to the Brotherhood in the future."He snapped his fingers and indicated that he should go up to the sixth floor first. I walked to the front desk and introduced Krys to Eubisio, saying that this was the fiancée that Miss Lycugu often mentioned. After nodding, he didn't say much nonsense. Asked her for a room, but Krys said that all the rooms on the sixth floor were sold.
