Alien Paradise.

Chapter 27 The culprit
"Wish power?" Dan's heart tightened, "What is that?"

"Uh...he said it was something like mental power. To be honest, I don't quite understand what he is referring to, but as long as I can afford it, I will definitely use it to find you." Judy lowered "No matter what, at least Mr. Chao didn't break his promise."

"Confused!" Dan heard this, his complexion became like a bitter gourd, "The more you don't understand, the more you can't easily agree! Think about it, would a normal person ask you for mental power? I'm afraid that person is not a detective at all. , but..."

"What is it?"

"Cultists," said Dan, breathlessly.

Judy shook her head again and again, and immediately vetoed, "Impossible... I have dealt with him a few times. Although I feel that he is a little mysterious, his words and deeds are quite normal, not like the rumored hysterical fanatic. And I also I've never heard of it, which group of cultists need to collect wish power..."

"Which cultist would put on the stage what he really wants? I'm afraid that what he wants is not wish power at all, but your soul—"

Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted Dan's words.

"Miss Judy, things are a little troublesome." A well-known voice came from outside the door, "That woman is dying soon."

"I'll go right away!" Judy patted Dan on the shoulder, beckoning him to take a good rest, then got up and walked to the room where another victim was lying.

Just a few seconds after entering the room, before she had time to check the woman's situation, she heard a slight sound of locking the door behind her.

Looking back, Judy once again saw Mr. Detective who had disappeared for a long time.

"You—" she was jumped, "When did you come here! Where have you been before?"

"I have something to arrange, so I'm delayed." Chaoyang took off his felt hat, and slowly came to the bed and sat down, "But I know that those two people will definitely protect Mr. Dan and escape from the theater, even if I'm not there. hinder the final result."

As he spoke, he took out a paper tube from his arms and unfolded it, which was the "contract" they had signed before. "Now that the prayer has been fulfilled and the contract is over, it's time to honor your share."

Judy swallowed involuntarily.

So the victim's death is just a cover?He deliberately separated himself from Dan by his men, so as to create a chance to meet alone?

The phrase "what he wants is your soul" came to her mind suddenly.

Yeah, maybe the willpower is just a cover...

But if she knew this premise, wouldn't she accept the other party's help?

Thinking of this, Zhu Di stood up and bowed deeply to Chaoyang.

"You are..." The latter was taken aback.

"I should have thanked you sooner, but hopefully it's not too late...Thank you for saving Dan's life!"

That's right, the answer is actually very clear, in the desperate situation, even if it is a straw floating on the water, she will not let go easily.

"You don't need to..."

"The contract only said to find out Dan's whereabouts, but in fact...that's all I expected of you before." Judy summoned up her courage and said in one breath, "You didn't need to launch a rescue, and you even openly confronted me. The police confronted, but you still reached out to get Dan out of the corner, and I can't thank you for that part. So... what you want, just take it! Because even if it happens again, I will still make the same choice! "

"That's right... I see." Chaoyang handed her a pen and pointed to the end of the scroll, "Then please sign your name in this column. Yes, it is in this space. Remember to use your real name. "

"My real name is Judy." She took a deep breath and signed her name.

After the finishing strokes were made, Judy felt a strong sense of tiredness in her heart, and she couldn't help shaking her body.But this exhaustion came and went quickly, and she returned to normal in the blink of an eye, but she felt a little empty in her heart.

"In this way, the contract is completed." Chaoyang put away the paper tube.

"Is that... okay?" She blinked.

"That's right." The other party added after a short pause, "Ah... By the way, it may be a little uncomfortable at first, after all, some mental power has been lost, but it will recover after a period of rest."

"So...you don't want my soul?" Judy tentatively asked.

Chaoyang raised the corner of his mouth, "I never charge anything other than what is stipulated in the contract. It is what it should be. You can rest assured about that."

Judy suddenly choked up, "You... are such a good person!"

"Hey, that's not a good thing to say."

"You don't know... how anxious I was at that time. I tried everything I could think of, and I asked everyone I could, but it was of no use at all!" Judy wiped her eyes and said, "I was almost desperate at the time. , until you come to the door..."

After a while, she calmed down a little, "I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself just now."

"I can understand." Chaoyang nodded.

Judy probably also felt a little embarrassed, and then turned the topic to the motionless woman on the bed, "By the way, how is her condition? Is it just the same as Dan's, but she just fell into a coma?"

"No, she is dying." Chaoyang said bluntly.

"what?"

"She has suffered severe torture, and it is rare for her to be able to survive until now." He sighed softly, "You can tell at a glance when you take off the blanket."

Judy did as she was told, then gasped!

What a crippled body that is!Cracked welts and burnt ulcers can be seen everywhere, new and old scars are layered on top of each other, many injured places have decayed, and the mucus flowing out has glued the skin and cloth robes together!Such a serious injury was definitely not caused by a day or two, nor was it caused by a simple captivity. She had obviously been tortured for a long time.

Moreover, Judy also noticed that the other party's skin color was mature brown, and there were wavy light white marks on the two shoulder blades, which indicated that the woman was not a mainstream ethnic group in the Old World, but a relatively rare descendant of the Triton tribe.As for which category they belonged to, she was not too sure, but such alien races usually belonged to the lowest level in Brilliant Fort.

"Mr. Detective... What's going on here? Why did the North City Police Station arrest her and Dan, and spend so much time killing them?" Judy murmured.

"Dane is just a fish biting the bait. He thinks he is an investigator, but in fact he is a prey in a trap." Chaoyang said bluntly, "And this woman is...a miner from Gaotian Mining Company. Of course, so to speak Not accurate, because she was not hired voluntarily, but enslaved. There are many people like her in the mining company.”

Judy showed a hint of surprise, "How do you know?"

Because she is talking to me, Chaoyang thought.

In his field of vision, the woman was not unconscious, she was looking at him earnestly, and kept sending out her pleadings.It was an exchange of consciousness, and only he could hear the other party's talk.

"The real culprit is not Gusite, he's just the executor! Many of my brothers and sisters died at his hands, but before that, they were all locked up in a house in the north of the city! That's the police officer in the north of the city. Bureau Chief Kuiqi’s property, he is the one who ordered it!”

"Why did he do this?" Chaoyang asked in his heart.

"Because Gaotian Mining Company is the main sponsor of the Chengbei Police Department. If we die in the mine, the mining will be affected, so the workers they don't want to see will entrust the Chengbei Police Department to do it. And the police station has done so Complicated and with a purpose of its own.”

"What purpose?"

"I don't know the specifics. I only heard the police talking about it, and people outside the police station are paying attention to it. It seems to be from the old continent."

Old Continent... This is another new term for Chaoyang.

"Then why do they still torture you? Didn't these injuries come from the mine?"

"Because they want to get some news from me." The woman's voice was a little deeper.

"Can you tell me?"

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you now, because it's very important." When she said this, she suddenly became hurried, "You are not an ordinary person, right? We all know that Gust planted a trap, but you can get out of it Take me out of the trap, this is definitely not something that ordinary people can do! I just heard that you fulfilled the wish for that lady. If so, can you also fulfill a wish for me? No matter what the price is , I am willing to pay, even if it is offering my soul!"

Chaoyang shook his head, then thought that the other party couldn't see at all, and replied in his heart, "I'm afraid not. You don't have what I need, and I never help people for free."

Facts have proved that his prediction is correct.After finishing the settlement with Judy, the wish power I got was almost [-], which was indeed more than last time, but after deducting the expenses, there was only about [-] points left, and the income was not as good.Of course, it is a blessing not to lose money, after all, this thing is not money, and you can make more money if you lose it. If the wish power is exhausted, he will have to burp on the spot.The remaining wish power plus the [-] income from last time is the capital of his survival. He must find a new source of wish power before dying of thirst.

But the woman in front of her was obviously impossible.

Her life is like a candle in the wind, and it may be extinguished at any time. This is a big taboo for signing a contract—once the petitioner dies, the contract will end, and all the resources invested will have no return.What's more, the amount of vow power is related to people. How much power can a dying person have even if he gives all his vow power?
"What do you need? I will give you whatever you need! This is my last wish, please, help me!"

"I've said it all... what I collect is the power of the wish, not the soul. This kind of thing requires the wisher to be full of life, full of vitality, and sincere enough to make the wish." Zhao Yang sighed, and he didn't want the other party to fall into this kind of situation. In the end, the devil is not a wish-making machine, and there are many things he can't do.Having said that, he opened his consonance vision and looked at the woman, so that he could let go completely.

But seeing this made Chaoyang stunned on the spot.

He saw a dazzling and pure white light!Under the dim kerosene lamp, this beam of light is so thick and shining, like a searchlight in a city that never sleeps!
