Returning from the abyss

Chapter 174 Evil and Sin Rampant
Although most people in Vice City have a criminal record, because no matter what kind of criminals come here, there are still many people who are not serious crimes such as murder, and there are also many political and economic criminals.Compared with those vicious guys, these criminals are also afraid of their lives being threatened here, so there are also some people who are responsible for dealing with serial killers who kill indiscriminately.

One of the more straightforward methods is to sort out the intelligence information of all these killers, arrange them into a wanted list and put them on the Internet.

This arrest warrant is not from the law enforcement department, at most it is the product of underground gangsters fighting each other, but the credibility is still good, at least those people understand that those who can kill serial murderers are not easy to mess with, and fulfill the deal well And get a good night's sleep.

Lu Ning found this most wanted website directly from the search of White Butterfly Killer.

Bounty rank 130 second.

[White Butterfly Killer committed the crime for the first time three years ago, and the longest period of committing the crime was three months, and the shortest was seven days.All are aimed at youth and children under the age of 16, both male and female.It is named after the tattoo tools and plaster used to tattoo intricate white butterfly patterns on the victim's chest or back after committing the crime.There were no traces of violence on the victim's body, very few violent wounds, and the cause of death was mostly internal organ rupture or cerebral hemorrhage.The killer must have multiple targets each time he commits a crime, and there are not many common characteristics among the targets, and there is no interpersonal relationship.The killer's name, age, gender and other data are all unknown. 】

If you click on it, you can also see the on-site photos and simple inspection results of each discovery in detail according to time. The energy behind the website is also quite strong, and the information is complete.

It's just that the killer's targets are all young people, and he hasn't shown any interest in adults so far. Those who pay the bounty are not particularly enthusiastic about it, and the bounty is very low.

In addition, the above rankings are all of the same scum behavior. These serial killers are not resident in Vice City. Many of them like to kill a few people outside and then come back to shelter from the wind, and then run out after staying for a while.Except for a small number of people who were captured and had images left behind, most of them have no photos, at most they are sketches and text descriptions based on eyewitness testimony.

There are currently 140 killers on record, and Lu Ning estimates that any one of them is enough for her to complete task two, and she is not particularly afraid of the other party even if it is a serial killer.

When it comes to killing people, she doesn't think her speed will lose to anyone.

But while continuing to read, Lu Ning immediately noticed a problem.

Let’s not mention those at the back of the list, but according to the description of the case, it’s impossible that there will be no video or sound left, and even few witnesses can be found.The eyewitness testimony of several people was simply confused, and the testimony of multiple eyewitnesses contradicted each other, making it impossible to discern who was lying.

This made her slightly more vigilant.

[There will be more or less supernatural power in all scenes. 】

This is a well-recognized iron rule. Although this kind of supernatural power may not be given to tourists, there must be such a power in the whole scene.

And since there is a supernatural background, there must be something behind this kind of urban existence. Although Lu Ning is not going to investigate too much about this, she can basically be sure that the "Heavenly Council", which is the last optional task, must be in charge. Some supernatural abilities.

In this way, the division of task difficulty becomes clear at a glance.

She quickly looked up the time of the "Sabbath", and it turned out to be April [-]th, Saturday, which was also the day before the mission was allowed to return freely.

Among the first three tasks, avoiding death and killing a serial murderer will not involve supernatural power, and the last one, visiting the club, may attract the attention of some people with supernatural power, which is classified as the last of the mandatory tasks One is also reasonable.

The three optional items all involve superpower events, so they are more difficult.

"If this is the case, then this mission is likely to be somewhat similar to the one in the villa... Is it a segmented mission? If so, it is worth a gamble..." Lu Ning pondered for a while, and kept opening her hands See the above introduction for each wanted warrant.

After looking around, there was no killer who shot a pistol in the head and pretended to commit suicide. There was no scene of a similar case. The father with this identity was not included in the list of serial killers.

First crime?Not likely.

The clues have been left in the crime city, and Lu Ning also checked the information given to him by the distribution center. Leaving aside the crime method, at least the traces are handled quite cleanly, and it is not the first time the murderer has carried out this method of crime.Although it is possible to act as a team, the difficulty of the investigation will be greatly increased in this way. Moreover, revenge is not included in the ranks that need to be completed in the mission, which shows that the difficulty is too high or too low.

That is to say, there may be more serial killers than this shows?Or are there some who are not identified as serial killers by the distribution center?
In Lu Ning's mind, she integrated all the information she currently holds, and then learned Cheng Wuling's way of thinking and changed her mind.

"Place yourself in the position of God, build a world structure that conforms to your own logic, and then fill in the key elements of the entire background with the 'spoiler' elements of the task, supplement the characters and events, and generate the necessary connections. Then change your position to the task issuer, obtain a 'reasonable and moderate' task standard, and use the average level of the people you have seen as a reference to find the conditions that should be designed for the various difficulties of the task."

Cheng Wuling has no secrets about these, but it is extremely difficult to imitate.

Now Lu Ning is just borrowing and using it like this, but he can add something that he can't think of.

For example, she is relatively weak in the analysis of interpersonal relationships.

Sending tourists into the distribution center is not for people to fight on their own, but it is a very low-level approach to force tourists to contact each other through tasks, and more often it is to create "coincidences", that is, to give each visitor " opportunity".

"My identity is a high school student, that is to say, there are one or two tourists in the human circle that I can normally contact, and then continue to contact through them-in this way, there must be people in the bank and school that I can contact. The tourists I met. The bank...has been hacked. The school should be in the team of teachers, and the teachers in our class may also..."

Lu Ning opened the school's homepage and found the teacher profile of her class.

"Chinese, mathematics, English...huh?"

The photo of the English teacher is a young and handsome man with a literati temperament, who looks elegant and easy-going, but it is the teacher's name that caught Lu Ning's attention.

【English teacher, Cheng Yurun】

"I thought I had to find out in person..." Lu Ning leaned back on the chair and let out a soft breath.

——"Our family is named after the family, and my generation grows from rain to water."

That was probably the only time Cheng Wuling mentioned her family, so Lu Ning remembered it along the way.

Although there are coincidences in the name, this man's eyes are very similar to Cheng Wuling's, which is the kind of disguise that has been honed for a long time and formed a habit, although one side is indifferent and the other side is gentle.

"The world is so small."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and a young voice sounded outside the door: "Hello, your courier."

Lu Ning got up and came to the door.Looking out of the cat's eye, I could just see a young man in a striking courier outfit holding a big box - the things I bought from the electronics store yesterday were delivered today, and they were still delivered by courier.

She opened the door, and the courier put the box in the room with a tired smile, and then took out the courier slip for Lu Ning to sign.

"Sister, you are really heavy."

"For shopping, it is inevitable to buy more, hard work."

The two exchanged polite greetings, but there were different movements in their hands at the same time. Lu Ning's left hand, which pretended to reach out to pick up the pen, suddenly withdrew, and his right fist hit the courier's chest; The small electric shock rod failed to reach Lu Ning's wrist.

"Huh?" The courier froze for a moment, then looked up at Lu Ning's still smiling face.

"The weather is good today, you can kill someone to sacrifice to heaven when you go out."

The sword cart popped out quickly under the hook of the fingers, piercing the courier's chest like sharp claws, and then Lu Ning quickly retracted his fist, and four pillars of blood spurted out from the chest, which was undoubtedly a serious injury to the heart.

"You..." The courier fell down, dying with regret.

The cardboard box was moved back into the room by Lu Ning, and someone cleaned up the dead body thrown in the corridor.The courier probably didn't expect that Lu Ning would pay attention to the pedestrians and vehicles passing by outside the window when she was sitting in front of the window. The person who got off the car and the person at the door had different height and skin color, how could she not be suspicious?
Of course, everything in the victim's pocket fell into Lu Ning's hands.

The number of "avoid death" in the mission instructions has not changed, it seems that this is not a death crisis, or the crisis has not been resolved.

After opening the courier's mobile phone, there are many people in the address book, but many of the recent calls are just phone numbers.Lu Ning changed the fingerprint password without any hassle, and then chose the most recent call record to call.

"Hello? You got the goods so quickly?"

Lu Ning gave a vague "hmm" and opened the window to let in the hustle and bustle of the street.

"Are you stupid? Walking around the streets with a girl on your shoulders? Hurry up and find a hidden place to send her here. The operating table is all set up here!"

Probably got it.

Lu Ning hung up the phone and flipped through the SMS records. It is probably because the phone has a fingerprint lock. This person still keeps a few notes of the work that is being processed.

Riverside Clinic, District [-].

Soon, Lu Ning selected more likely places from several locations, but today is not suitable for doing justice for the sky, and she is not in the mood to find trouble with a group of organ smugglers—more important things need to be done today. Finish.

move.

Although this apartment is relatively close to the city center, the management is not very strict, and the address is easy to inquire about. Things like today are certainly not an exception, but there are not many high school students like her who don't have any family backers in Sin City. .

Yes, a high school student... Lu Ning's height was also reduced by two centimeters.

Fortunately, the receptionist of the real estate company doesn't look at what people order, even if they walk in like this, they are still warmly received, especially after confirming that Lu Ning is indeed here to spend money, the attitude of the other party reaches its peak.

Spent that passbook to a fraction and bought one of the three villas I saw yesterday.Lu Ning directly got into the car and went to the villa area. On the way, she contacted the taxi company to book a one-month pick-up service from the villa area to the school. She just ran out of money, so she threw the card into the trash can.

Since the bank can be hacked, there is no need for funds to leave here. The remuneration provided by HELLSPEED is enough for her during this time, and the cash withdrawal can be made through any bank or ATM, without special consideration of money.

Before me, no one can know any too much information about this identity.

Entering the community, the security guards still remember this young girl. This time, Lu Ning has already got the key, and the real estate company will send it to him after the formalities. As for the decoration, the basic decoration has been completed. , Lu Ning doesn't really want to live here forever.

The original luggage of this identity is not too much, two suitcases and one backpack are all packed, but furniture such as tables, chairs and bed cabinets have not been added yet.

She was busy at night, and installed the fixed monitors she bought in a hidden area outside the villa, leaving a few in the open, and then installed the monitoring system on the computer, and this Sunday passed like this.

"Handling one remaining task...non-fatal serious injury, I hope I'm not too unfamiliar."

Lu Ning pulled out some thick clothes and made a bed on the floor, then opened the door and left her villa.

The "target" who lives here is a company project specialist. He is extremely busy but earns a lot of money. It is rare to go home early yesterday, and it is normal to come back at night like this.After entering the complex, the courtyard walls of the villa are not very tall. Lu Ning searched around and didn't see any surveillance cameras, so she went directly into the other party's house.

The garage door was still open, there was light in the villa, a female figure was in front of the window, and there was a glass of wine on the table.

Not long after, the sound of a car came from outside. The woman stood up, looked out the window, but found that it was not the silver-white car, and sat back in frustration.After repeating this two or three times, finally, the car appeared in the field of vision.

The woman hurried downstairs, and her figure disappeared in front of the window.

Just as the silver-white car drove into the garage, and the owner turned off the engine and walked out of the car, planning to come out to meet his wife, a black figure that had been hiding in the dark for a long time swooped out and slammed a wrench on his head.

The man fell down without even humming, and at this time, the woman walked to the door.

"what……"

"You'd better keep quiet."

From the garage came a hoarse voice that was deliberately suppressed.

"That's what you expected anyway, right?"

"You, you are... from that website..."

"I think it's more reasonable to do it in front of the employer. Besides, I don't want to be seen. If you walk in, this intentional injury will probably turn into two murders."

"Yes, yes... now, I should... how..."

"Don't worry, take out your mobile phone, and I will tell you when to call the doctor. But since you have encountered it, you might as well make things more satisfactory to you. You plan to let your husband lie in the hospital for a few days. moon?"

"Two, no, three months! Is three months okay?"

The woman was actually a little excited.

"Okay, don't forget the reward..."

In the darkness, there was the sound of a sharp weapon cutting flesh.

"Hide here out of sight and call."

The woman ran away in response, and Lu Ning stood up at this moment, and smashed the man's legs with a wrench. The severe pain immediately woke the man up and let out a scream.Lu Ning took out the tape from the side and pressed the man's head to stick his eyes.

Then, she left the villa without saying a word.
