Returning from the abyss

Chapter 204 Deterioration
Morning comes.

Jiang Shanhao stood in front of a closed apartment building door, frowning.

His sense of smell has always been keen, and although the door is closed tightly, he can still smell a rancid smell wafting from inside.

"This is... what happened?"

He took out his mobile phone, and there was a message sent by Wei Wenyang, a member of his team, in the early hours of this morning, saying that he had breached the firewall in the backstage of HELLSPEED and found a lot of important information, so he needed to come and get it himself.

However, when he came here, he smelled this smell that made him vigilant.To be honest, for tourists, this smell is all too familiar-the smell of corpses.

"Damn..."

Jiang Shanhao raised his palm, and a layer of liquid metal gushed out from his cuff, clinging to his palm and hardening rapidly, it turned into a sharp sword within a few seconds.He stabbed the sword into the position of the door lock, cut off the door lock, and pushed the door hard.

An extremely strong smell gushed out from inside, Jiang Shanhao raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and looked into the door, but he could only see a dark room.

He took out the lighter and pressed it on, and saw the horror in the room.

The place is not big, only a dozen square meters, and there is a somewhat thin person crouching in front of a computer desk.The blood flowed from his neck to the keyboard and the ground, and now it has solidified and even started to rot.The corpse also appeared to be slightly decomposed. With his own experience, Jiang Shanhao could judge that it had been decomposed for at least three days.

Who sent the message to himself?

He opened the curtains to let the sunlight into the room.Then endured the stench and began to examine the corpses of his teammates.

The degree of rot was more serious than I thought. There was only one fatal injury, which was a slit in the throat, which almost cut half of the neck open.Wei Wenyang was apparently killed without any resistance, and he didn't even see any signs of struggle.

Jiang Shanhao picked up his cell phone and called Liu Dongyun, another member of their team.

"What's the matter, Brother Hao? Call me so early?"

"Is it you who is in charge of contacting Old Wei? Is there anything special about the message you received recently?"

"No...what? Brother Hao, did something happen?"

"Old Wei is dead."

"What... died? No way? I received a report from him last night. How could he be dead? Someone sneak attack?"

"Last night? Then you have to be careful. Old Wei has been dead for more than three days." Jiang Shanhao glanced at the corpse, and suddenly noticed that his hand was hanging down on the table, but he was still holding it tightly on his lap .

"Then your place is very dangerous, brother Hao! Get out of there quickly!"

"Wait a minute."

Jiang Shanhao moved the phone away, raised the hand with the blade in his hand, only heard a click, and a chip slipped from his palm.

"What is this thing? A chip? A monitoring device?" Jiang Shanhao picked up the chip, looked at it carefully, and then turned on the computer, only to find that the entire system had been formatted and nothing was left.

"Has Wei Wenyang ever taken over any chip deciphering jobs?"

"Ah? This, it seems to have happened last week. It's the little girl who has some contact with us, called... Lu Ning?"

"understood."

After Jiang Shanhao finished speaking, he hung up the phone, raised his hand and cut Wei Wenyang's shirt.

On his shoulder, there is a tattoo of a white butterfly.

=====================
"I can't get through to Baimu and Gui, and I can't get in touch with Zhang Yufeng."

Rosers sat in the living room of his home with some anxiety. It was not Zhao Xihua but Yang Qingyu who came to see him this time. Although Yang Qingyu was much gentler in his attitude towards others, Rosers felt a little bit that he was not personally there. disturbed.

Just as Zhao Xihua understands his preferences, he also knows what kind of person Zhao Xihua is.If she starts to alienate you, it proves that you are worthless, and Rothers desperately hopes that this will not be the case.

It was still raining outside after a night of rain. Although Yang Qingyu comforted Rosers softly, she kept looking outside.

"Yang...Miss Yang, is there anything interesting outside?"

"No, I'm just admiring the rain." Yang Qingyu turned her gaze after hearing this, and smiled slightly at Rosers.

"Rain? Could it be..."

"It would be a pity if you were hiding at home all the time yesterday. The competition for evil codes is in full swing, and you can't be called a tourist if you don't participate in it?" Yang Qingyu took out the silver pistol from his pocket and put it In front of Rothers.

"Whose ability is this rain?" Rosers calmed down slowly.

"It's mine." Yang Qingyu said, "I didn't pick and choose, but I immediately chose to inherit after I got the evil code, and then I got the ability to rain. But as you can see, even the heavy rain is not counted. , It’s just such light rain and cloudy sky, it doesn’t have any lethality, and the only advantage is that it can last for a long time.”

"Why? Miss Zhao asked you to do it?"

"Miss means that the function of the evil code is only a bait to stimulate. What kind of power can be produced depends on my own situation. In other words, it should be yourself who is inspired by any evil code, or The ability that this world identity should have."

"She doesn't need it, does she?"

"Of course, the eldest lady already has a certain capital, so there is no need for this. She asked me to tell you that the next bullet of this pistol is suicide, please be careful."

"I... see. Pass my thanks to her for me."

"Mr. Rosers, please don't get me wrong. We didn't mean to abandon you. The eldest lady couldn't come here in person just because of the busy work on this new first day. You... have already shown your nervousness on your face."

Rosers nodded repeatedly, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

==================

I wish you a pleasant journey! 】

Lu Ning hugged the quilt and stared at the phone for a long time before turning around from the sluggish feeling of getting up in the morning.

The message was sent shortly after she fell asleep.

"How many things have been delayed..."

Lu Ning rubbed her eyes and got up from the bed, glanced at the "trophies" piled up at the foot of the bed, got up and went to another room to wake up Shimoni Ye Nai who was still soundly asleep.

She cleaned up the house and slept much later than herself last night, but she never woke herself up to see if she missed this message.

"Ye Nai, take a look at your mission prompt."

The warrior's sleep was also very shallow, Lu Ning just made a normal sound, Ye Nai immediately turned over from the bed, and then picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table.

"Mission? Mission... Ha! Lu Ning! I just said that there is no unparalleled road, and I received a mission reminder about the serial murderer and the victim's club!"

"I know……"

"You got it too?"

"You can guess it all, Ye Nai, don't be so optimistic." Lu Ning grabbed her messy hair and planned to take a shower later, "This kind of information distribution can only be judged by the distribution center that our strength has weakened too much, so we can't help it." Those who stay without compensation are the ones who can continue to play. That means the situation is getting worse."

"Oh." Ye Nai nodded without seeming to understand.

"Forget it, contact the door opener and give her the bad code, and I'll take a shower."

"Lu Ning, aren't you going to meet her?"

"If you can survive, see you at the distribution center." Lu Ning yawned, walked out of the room and went straight to the bathroom.

It turns out that if you have a large bathtub in your home, the intention of taking a shower can turn into a soak without knowing it.

Lu Ning lay comfortably on her back in the bathtub, the temperature of the water brought a soothing feeling to her muscles and bones, and also weakened her accumulated fatigue for many days.

She was still wearing the necklace that Mo La gave her, and even in the somewhat hot warm water, the three crystals on the necklace were still wearing a trace of coldness.Considering what Mo La said, it is estimated that these three crystals were separated from the Evil of Essence she possessed. Of course, they are not considered "possessed", so the task has not been completed.

When resting, the brain can naturally begin to sort out the many things and clues one by one.

"Agent, since Mo La said that I don't need to worry about me and I don't need to think about Zhao Xihua's problem, as expected, the most important thing is the line of Dr. D in the tenth district, and then I go to the agent to find the manager. In addition What clues are more important? The fifth district estimates that the person who opened the door will deal with it, the fifth district...the fifth district..."

Lu Ning's head began to swell again. She suspected that she might have soaked for too long, so she stood up from the bathtub, wiped her body, changed her clothes and came out.

When he returned to his room, those evil codes were gone, probably the person who opened the door had already taken them away.Lu Ning poured herself a glass of water indifferently, turned on the morning news and glanced at——

[The White Butterfly Killer commits another crime, with an upgraded technique! 】

Below are two photos of the scene and three heads of people.

The two scenes showed two miserable corpses, both of which had their throats cut with a knife, and blood flowed all over the place.And the three head portraits are the missing persons, and the missing persons are all students, and Lu Ning also recognizes the faces of these three persons.

Sang Baiye, and two of the few people who were rescued from the operating bed before.

"He didn't die?"

Lu Ning clearly remembered how the White Butterfly Killer swelled into a meat ball. After that, even if Mo La didn't deal with it herself, she should at least send someone to take it back, right?

--Recycle?
Thinking of this word, Lu Ning immediately thought of the city-wide broadcast not long ago.

[In the past year, the total number of "evil codes" collected has reached 140-[-]. 】

Collect bad codes...

The sawtooth dagger also retains a lot of memories of the previous holders. Although they are all fragments, for people who are not strong enough, it is enough to have an impact on their attitude towards life, let alone people in the city. They all tend to be on the "evil" side.

And the criminal method this time was never used by the White Butterfly Killer before. It was a killing that left obvious scars, and neither of the two victims were teenagers.

"Inherited? Then the capture of Sang Baiye is also a memory inheritance? Or is it just because of the memory fragment, the new killer is not sure about the previous situation, so he wiped out all the people in the memory?"

Either way, Lu Ning would not rule out the possibility that the new successor saw the scene where he finally defeated the white butterfly killer from those memory fragments.

Although the facts have nothing to do with me, I am afraid no one will find out this misunderstanding.

"Lu Ning?"

The door was pushed open, and Shimono Ye Nai poked her head out. Seeing her nervous expression, she couldn't help but ask, "Did something happen?"

"It's nothing, what's the matter?" Lu Ning put the phone back in her pocket.

"Oh, breakfast is ready, I'll let you know. Besides, the person who opened the door has already taken away all the bad codes, and gave me this..."

She took out a small pink door that looked like a toy, just enough to fit through a person's wrist.

"What is this for?"

"Open her door." Ye Nai tried to explain, "It's through her ability, it's not easy for me to explain..."

"Then you put it away, what are you doing for me?"

"No, I was thinking, will you take more..."

"That's the self-defense item that the door opener gave you, right? I don't need to snatch the life-saving items of my teammates. Or do you think I'm weak? I need protection more than you?"

"I just think... before they all said that the combat effectiveness of planning and planning is insufficient, and they need to pay more attention to protection..."

"The best thing to protect them is your brain. Go downstairs to eat, I'm hungry."

Lu Ning didn't answer the small door, and pushed Ye Nai downstairs.
