Returning from the abyss

Chapter 898 Emergency Evacuation

We are just a grain of sand in the complicated time, slipping through the slender bottleneck of time.

We appreciate the splendor of culture and art bursting out from endless civilizations, and whisper the eulogies of prosperity and decline.

Tan Ya opened her hands. The limbs wrapped in the silver coat are slender and full of strength. Even in close combat, they will be very strong, but they are rarely used. The dust of the world does not need those messy fighting methods. Human means are single and pure.

"Welcome to wake up, my friend." Alexandra and Nadal came out from behind the buildings on both sides. They didn't wear masks, and they both had a smile on their faces.Tan Ya put down her hand and looked up at Tualatin.

"You didn't escape?"

"I can't run away." Tualatin's answer was also very direct, "I don't have the ability to escape in front of the four of you, so it's better to take a closer look at the energy of the wanderers in the world. However, based on my respect for you Understood, you shouldn’t want to unleash your power in this place, right?”

"Of course, you are a very smart person, but it's a pity that you are not detached enough." Alexandra smiled, "We will not destroy this place, the earth will not react to your actions, even if we New friends."

Tan Ya put her hand on her face, and a mask was slowly formed: "Tan Ya is dead, you can call me by the name Nemesis."

"Very good, then do you want to practice the meaning represented by this name?" Nadu suddenly asked.

"No, my 'performance' was completed before I died. Tan Ya wanted to leave some clues for her companions, and then use her own death as a way for them to move on...a bad thing I like to do very much, A clichéd revenge drama. The final executor must not be me." Nemesis let go of his hand, and the silver mask had already formed on his face, "Alexandra, please help me deal with the scene, I am not suitable for doing this things."

Alexandra laughed. "Of course, my dear friend, you want this to be a perfect murder scene. But what about the people who leave?"

"No one will listen to the words of the enemy, and I will not show up easily." Nemesis put his hands behind his back and turned his head to look at Tualatin. "Mr. Pope, what else do you want to say?"

"Alexandra, please do it." Tualatin smiled. "Of course, I will defend with all my strength. At least before I die, I want to know how far we are from the top strength."

"Apex?" Alexandra raised her middle finger, clasped it on her thumb, and pointed it at Tualatin, "We are just dust wandering in the world, and we have escaped the original shackles by chance. The real world is far larger than what we know. Know."

"Thank you for letting me know." A golden light glowed on Tualatin's body.

Alexandra blinked and flicked her fingers: "Grain."

There was no sound, no light and shadow effect, but after half a second, the golden light on Tualatin's body rippled, and countless concentric circles appeared on his chest, and the more turbulent lines penetrated instantly. The golden light penetrated into his skin.Everything in his body was shattered in the continuous spreading vibrations, even the original state could not be preserved. Two seconds later, Tualatin's whole body collapsed like a castle made of a pile of fine sand collapsed, and the body on him Surrounded by the golden light, a spot of light from the attack flickered in the air for a moment, and continued to rush towards the distant building.

"We're just here to welcome our companions." Alexandra snapped her fingers lightly, "Bo."

Gentle waves lifted the corners of the clothes of the four dust, whether it was the powder left by Tualatin or those killed by Nemesis, they all disappeared at this moment, together with the dust that was about to cause devastating damage The particles also disappeared together, but at the same time, a strong wind blew up around them. Except for the four people who seemed to only have a light wind blowing, the rest of the place even blew a more violent storm than before, as if to eliminate what had happened. All traces here.

Immediately afterwards, the silver in the rain also quickly disappeared.

The two cars stopped outside almost one after another in the rain. Lu Ning got out of the car door and looked at Xie Qitong who was opposite, nodded at each other, and rushed to the place where the communication was cut off at the same time.

"Tan Ya will never be killed without resistance. The characteristics of the mantra she has mastered make her at least qualified to give it a go under any circumstances, and at least she can leave a lot of traces on the scene." Xie Qitong said quickly, "Lu Ning, let's search separately on both sides, looking for signs of fighting, especially signs of superpower damage. Although the mantra cannot be directly displayed here, I can track it through rituals."

Lu Ning gestured to show her understanding, and then began to check the surroundings little by little.The violent storm washed away almost all the traces around, and various organizations must have their own methods of cleaning up the scene. Lu Ning didn't have much hope for finding any traces.

But soon, she stepped on a puddle of muddy soil.

The soil around here should be the same. Normally, this should not happen, unless someone deliberately loosened the soil.Lu Ning immediately shouted, and at this time Ana and Weng Cunxie also walked over.

"I've checked around, but I didn't find anyone else... Hiss, why is the smell of blood so strong?" Ana pinched her nose and frowned.

Hearing these words, Xie Qitong immediately took out a piece of paper, quickly tore it a few times and threw it into the air. The piece of paper was immediately soaked by the rain and fell in all directions.One eyeball struggled to get out of Xie Qitong's forehead, and the red pupil fixed on the muddy ground that Lu Ning stepped on.

"is blood……"

"Blood?" Lu Ning glanced at the ground, "Did they bury people here?"

"Nobody...no corpse." Xie Qitong lowered his voice, "It's all blood, mixed with the soil, and some...clothes fibers, melted."

Although he spoke very scatteredly, everyone understood what he meant.

"The corpses have been destroyed." Ana shook her head, "We are still a step late. I heard the sound of other vehicles approaching, but I can't smell the smell left by the people here, and they have probably retreated. "

"Those people gathered here must have some conspiracy to discuss." Weng Cunxie said.

"But Tan Ya interrupted their gathering. These people must know that this place is no longer safe. For organizations with supernatural abilities, evacuation is not so difficult."

"But it's not that simple." Lu Ning walked out of the mud with a sullen face, "It took less than half an hour from receiving the call to now. They can bring key materials and retreat, but things related to mantras are not so easy. You guys We all know that low-level believers will have a lot of bits and pieces."

For Lu Ning and Xie Qitong, they can quickly find clues from these things.

"But the person called by Donald is probably coming." Weng Cunxie reminded.

The person Donald called must be the secret police if nothing else happened. If these police were around, it would be very difficult for Lu Ning and others to act.The secret police will definitely seal off the entire scene, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to obtain relevant information about the people.

"We have to find something. Tan Ya's death must be exchanged for something." Xie Qitong immediately made a decision, "Weng Cunxie, please hang around here for a while. We know Donald, and he also knows the purpose of our coming. Find a way to delay for a while, and I will go to the house over there to search for evidence."

"Ana, you come with me." Lu Ning said, "Our two search abilities complement each other, help me find if there is any residual smell that you are familiar with."

"No problem, I'm also curious if we're dealing with the same group of guys."

The three rushed into the rainstorm and ran towards the row of buildings nearby.Weng Cunxie shrugged helplessly, and went to call Donald to see if he could let the person who came here deal with the scene more slowly.

Relying on Ana's super five senses and Lu Ning's familiarity with various rituals, the two quickly locked on a hotel that was obviously visited by people.Xie Qitong found the body of the hotel owner from a cellar. He cut his throat cleanly. Judging from the degree of decay, he had been dead for at least three or four days.The entire hotel was empty, and Lu Ning and Ana broke down the doors one by one. Lu Ning found some remnants of the ritual array in a room on the second floor, but it was very inconspicuous, and it was severely damaged, and there was no way to reverse it. reckoning.Of course, the most important thing is that none of them were left behind, only a few materials that seemed to be used for the ceremony were found.

"Ana, did you find anything over there?"

"This group of people is quite brutal." Ana said, "The things they have arranged here not only include the world's mantra system defenses, but also many other technological system items that have been dismantled. These traces are basically too late to cover up, indeed. You said they evacuated very hastily."

"With so many people acting together, there must be something left behind, right? I don't think a few people can push Tan Ya into a desperate situation." Lu Ning kicked open the door of a room again, and a strong rancid smell wafted from inside After coming out, the bodies of other staff members in the hotel were all piled up in this room. It is estimated that the smell and the like were sealed in the room by some means before, and Lu Ning kicked them away.

"It's disgusting before you leave..." Ana, who followed her, also saw it. For her with a keen sense of smell, the smell of corpses was even more disgusting, and she was already pinching her nose to speak.

"Hmph, it's their failure not to deal with these corpses."

Lu Ning walked into the foul-smelling room. The corpses had already decomposed to varying degrees, but after all, they still retained the most important characteristics of the time of death within a few days.It wasn't just their leaders who took care of so many people. For the group of people who had the ability and started to look above the top, "clearing the field" was just the task of the younger brothers.

It is impossible for low-level believers to do things perfectly.In other words, the perfect crime itself is an extremely difficult task, even with superpowers.Lu Ning turned on the phone's light, her eyes flicked over the corpses, and soon found a few people who were killed with the knowledge of the mantra to save trouble.

"Destruction, thread, sundial, furnace...that's right." She knelt down in front of a corpse, took out a small knife from her pocket, and stabbed the blade obliquely into the wound.

"Lu Ning, I have to remind you that the secret police will check the scene when they arrive later. It doesn't matter if the door is broken, but they will probably investigate the cause of these people's death," Ana said.

"That's right, because of this, I want to add something to their deaths." Lu Ning replied, "I want to make their wounds more obvious and more serious...I can't let this group of scourges around anymore If it’s arbitrary activities, the secret police must also do something practical, right?”

"They may not be able to fight." Ana shrugged, "We have investigated the strength of the secret police. It might be okay if we only deal with the believers of the truth, but after a group of organizations intervene, they will have to plan some things like driving tigers and wolves away. There is a way."

"There is no transcendent force, and even Aurora is restrained by the dust of the world. Looking at it this way, human beings are really pitiful." After treating the wounds one by one, Lu Ning said with emotion, "The only secret police who can protect them are a group of People who are not strong enough."

"Well... that's not necessarily the case." Ana said after pondering for a moment.

"Ok?"

"We have noticed some forces hidden here. No, their specific ownership is not very clear. It seems that the will of someone or something is maintaining the balance, so the film and television base can maintain the normal operation on the surface. None of those incidents have affected the base's filming, promotion and bidding plans."

That's true, the film and television base seems to be blessed by something, no matter what the various forces secretly fight, but in the eyes of the outside world, this is just a place where three different platform shooting projects are going on.Even if so many people died and so many casualties occurred in the past two days, the outside world didn't notice it?
"You haven't figured out why yet?"

"Yes, it's like the dead have no relatives to pay attention to. At most, some of the damage caused by the battle and the film and television base have been re-covered on the grounds of maintenance. It is estimated that we are not the only ones who have noticed this weird situation."

"Then is the purpose of their gathering just to find out the person who secretly protects the base?" Lu Ning asked.

Ana just smiled, it seemed that she didn't know the answer either.

"If there is really a person or force protecting, or covering the film and television base... What is the purpose? The organizations gathered here must break through this protection in order to spread their own terror. Wait a minute, they can clearly Don't carry out terrorist activities here?"

"They already have to do this. If they can leave easily, who would want to be involved in such a chaotic vortex? Don't forget, the villain actually cherishes his own life more." Ana raised her hand and grabbed the door frame. After swiping twice, some shiny powder was stained on my hands.

"What did you find again?"

Ana leaned closer and sniffed it, then stuck out her tongue and dabbed it lightly: "It's salt."
