Edge of Pure Land

Chapter 56: Committing a crime against the odds

 Military base, officer quarters No. 7.

Lu Fuji got up from the bed with a yawn after a night of electrotherapy. The evolver was in a state of deep meditation during the practice of sacred rhythms, which can basically replace sleep.

The environment of the officer's dormitory is very good, just like a well-decorated apartment five hundred years ago. It even has floor heating, so you won't be disturbed in any way after practicing all night.

Cancer pain still occurred regularly every day, forcing him to maintain high-intensity practice every day. He covered his aching head. In fact, after becoming an evolver, his resistance to pain has also increased a lot. It was his previous self. I'm afraid it's already painful enough.

 The accumulation of life energy has reached 75%.

 The progress of numerology has also leveled off.

“There are still seven numerology chips left, and you can try to upgrade them next.”

He stood up and was shaken all over, with electricity crackling.

 Suddenly, Lu Fuji found the girl sleeping on the bed opposite.

Her long black hair had been burnt by the electricity.

 Obviously it was caused by his electrotherapy last night.

 “Fuck.”

When Lu Fuji saw this scene, he quickly found a pair of scissors and cut her off.

 In this way, she will find that she has short hair when she wakes up.

 Without finding that your hair is mushy.

At this moment, Lu Fuji found papers scattered around her.

That is a painting.

 “She was sick again last night?”

Lu Fuji picked up the paintings and took a look, slightly stunned.

 The first painting.

 Thick blood vessels spread like vines in every corner of the streets and alleys, extending deep into the ground. A huge piece of flesh beat like a heart, as if it was about to explode at any time.

This huge piece of flesh is studded with countless corpse-eating cultists in white!

 The second painting.

Smoke of gunpowder enveloped the burning city, and the huge sacred light pillar shattered in the center of the city. The ground was covered with red blood. People were soaked in blood and died in pain.

 A radiant back was torn into pieces and withered like a lotus.

 The third painting.

When the Holy Light Barrier collapsed, the White Walkers swarmed out.

 “Hell, this isn’t true, is it?”

Lu Fuji turned to look at the sleeping girl: "Can she really predict the future?"

In Ji Lun's memory, he mentioned the destruction of the city. First, there was the explosion of the flesh and blood of the gods, then there was the death of a certain big shot, and finally there was the invasion of the White Walkers.

 “Lu Sixian? Lu Sixian?”

Lu Fuji tried to push the girl, but she couldn't wake her up at all.

I tried my breathing and heartbeat, but they were already very weak.

I was fine yesterday, but why am I sick again today?

Lu Buer was taken aback and hurriedly took her to the infirmary of the military base. There was a very professional team of chaplains there who claimed that they could bring you back even if you stepped half-way through the gate of hell.

 It’s not that their medical skills are so superb.

 But five hundred years later, there will be too much technology and hard work.

After the priest in the medical room saw the little girl's condition, he immediately performed a full-body examination. Their equipment was like two opposing light-transmitting mirrors. As long as the person was placed in it, it would automatically float, and the body data would follow the light. revealed by scanning.

Lu Fuji is not worried about what will happen to this girl.

  After all, she was able to appear at the military base as a reserve, and she must have been inspected many times.

Having dealt with those things, let’s not miss this time.

"There seems to be no problem with her physical condition, but the brain damage is quite serious. Is she suffering from something? This situation is more like a congenital defect, but it has only appeared recently. We will prescribe medicine for her, but there is no guarantee that it will work. Cure her."

The priest gave a brain test report and prescribed some medicines that can cure brain damage.

 To be honest, I can’t understand this brain test report at all.

 Lu Fuji looked at the bottles of medicine, but he was still a little worried.

 Because he felt that this was not a simple brain injury.

 It’s the price paid for the witch’s ability.

  It may also be the sequelae of previous experiments in captivity.

This time he was stumped. After all, his understanding of extraordinary knowledge was very limited. He was so awesome that he just boasted yesterday, but today he encountered a problem that he couldn't handle. It was really embarrassing.

 At the moment, there is no other way but to ask others for help.

 “Let’s ask Longque first…”

The blind Lu Buer took the little girl back to the dormitory and settled her down. He put on a serious military officer's uniform and turned to go out. When passing by the machinery factory of Noah's Agency, he heard a familiar shout.

 “Brother Lu, you are back!”

José was dressed in red and looked like a human.

It’s just that his hair has turned into afro, and his face is covered with explosive gunpowder.

 “Brother Lu, save me!”

José was chasing a group of mechanics behind him, as if they were trying to catch a chicken.

Lu Fuji felt confused when he saw this scene, as if he had traveled back to two days ago.

"Neuropathy!"

Too lazy to pay attention to these idiots, Lu Buer turned around and left.

While passing by the headquarters, he saw the bulletin board at the door: "Warrant Officer Kashiwagi is suspected of using illegal black market materials. He has been deducted 9,000 merit points and will not be promoted to military rank for half a year!"

 When Lu Fuji saw this scene, he immediately became happy.

"Suspected of using illegal supplies? In other words, the matter of withholding military supplies was indeed settled by the people behind the scenes, and he was charged with using black market supplies. Fortunately, this guy's promotion was successfully prevented. I can try to kill him after I reach the second level. Well, after this time, it will be a deadly feud." He whispered.

At the entrance of the military base, a beautiful woman in motorcycle attire was already riding a bicycle waiting for him.

 “Can’t you take a car to the Abnormality Supervision Bureau by yourself?”

Qiangwei got angry when she saw him: "I have to get up early to pick you up?"

“It is an honor for you to be responsible for transporting a distinguished corporal.”

Lu Fuji curled his lips: "Besides, aren't we father and daughter? You have to fulfill your filial piety."

Qiangwei said fiercely: "Bah, they are obviously mother and son."

 “Then you should come and pick me up.”

 “You are so shameless.”

 “Stop talking nonsense and drive.”

"oh…"

  ·

  ·

Today's Anomaly Supervision and Management Bureau is extremely busy, mainly because they have to interrogate more than thirty survivors of the Ministry of Life at once. This kind of workload is no joke, and the judges have stayed up all night.

It is said that Damon is still in the interrogation room and has not come out.

Qiangwei also escaped before going out.

 No wonder there is so much resentment.

Lu Fuji passed by the busy judges and walked directly into the office on the top floor.

 Longque seemed a lot more haggard after not seeing him all night, and the dark circles under his eyes were getting worse. Bottles of medicine and a cup of cold coffee were scattered on the table.

When he saw someone coming in, he put away all the medicine and raised his eyes.

"coming?"

 He waved his hand: "Sit down."

Lu Fujihu asked: "Are you okay?"

I have to say that Longque is more like a patient who is about to die soon than him.

 I'm afraid that one day he will die suddenly if he is not careful.

"Don't worry about me, I'm just a little tired." Long Que said calmly: "These remnants of the Purana Rebirth Department have very tough mouths. If you want to get all the legends and secrets about the Holy Mountain from their mouths, it will not be solved in a short time. "

 “The secrets they hide are important.”

  Lu Fuji reminded: "They also have special methods to deal with the White Walkers."

 “I know, in fact, it has already been tried.”

 Longque replied.

 Lu Fuji truly admires this guy, he is really efficient.

"It's just that after I got that frequency, I tried to beat it, but I couldn't get the effect they had. Have you heard of it? There is a saying that people who sing out of tune don't actually have a problem with their voice. , but there is something wrong with my ears." Longque tapped the table gently, and the rhythmic sound echoed in the room, from soothing to compact, all at once.

Lu Fuji sounded familiar, but it was not the same as what I heard at the time.

 His dark matter is unresponsive anyway.

  “I was once a very famous performer at the headquarters.”

Longque replied: "So it's not my problem, but their problem. I think it's because the structure of their ears is different, or maybe the brain's understanding ability is slightly different from that of ordinary people. Therefore...only the remnants of the Purana Division , to hit that kind of rhythm.”

"And this frequency is quite weird. Depending on their individual differences, some people can only knock out one bar, while the patriarch can knock out two to three bars."

He paused: "According to them, the more coherent and sustained the rhythm, the stronger the impact on the White Walkers. If it is only a few bars, it will not be of much use."

 Lu Fuji fell silent. This was indeed a problem.

I just don’t know how many frequencies Lu Sixian can knock out.

The so-called witch may have special talents.

 However, the witch is now unconscious.

 “What a headache.”

Lu Fuji sat on the chair and said casually: "By the way, Kashiwagi has been investigated and punished, and the person behind him has also taken action to protect him. It is basically certain that the person is also in the military headquarters."

Longque glanced at him: "You were almost investigated and punished."

Shika Fuji was stunned: "Why me?"

Long Que said calmly: "Is your promotion speed normal?"

 Lu Fuji is a little guilty.

 Mainly because of his merits, he cannot afford so much sacred tree marrow sap.

 But he still looks so young.

"It's okay, I've settled the matter. The blame was finally thrown on my head. They thought I was setting the stage for you so that you could help me investigate the case."

Longque sighed and said: "I don't know where you got so much sacred tree marrow sap. Anyway, you should pay more attention in the future. Fortunately, those big shots did promise you some benefits. So I will help you open a small stove in private. , it has no effect on me.”

Lu Fuji scratched his head in embarrassment: "Hahaha, thank you."

 Longque drank coffee: "You're welcome."

Lu Fuji suddenly saw a painting painted behind him.

It was a woman in red, with swaying black hair and a blurred profile.

She stood in the snow, but her eyes seemed to be looking through the painting, giving her a startled glimpse.

The painting technique is a stroke of genius, and it can accurately depict the enchantment and charm like a fairy, especially the vague eyes, which is shocking.

 “Who is this?”

  Lu Fuji asked: "Is this the girl of your dreams?"

Longque glanced at him expressionlessly: "This is the profile I have drawn based on all the clues. The founder of the Corpse Eater Cult, the man who escaped from the Holy Mountain."

 Obviously, since he learned that the origins and origins of the Corpse Cult were related to the Holy Mountain, he paid special attention to the matter and sorted out clues overnight to find out who was behind the scenes.

Lu Fuji was shocked: "With just these clues, you can profile this?"

Long Que shook his head: "Profiling is mainly inspired by inspiration and intuition based on the accumulation of a lot of experience. It is indeed logical, but it is incredible to a layman."

Lu Fuji directly took a portrait in front of him and said seriously: "Don't arrest the leader of the Corpse Cult first. Can you please dig out this beast for me first?"

 This is what I see in my memory, the young man in the laboratory.

 This person has conducted experiments on witches for a long time, so he must know something.

 “Who is this painting?”

“The senior figures in the Corpse Food Cult are definitely higher than the fallen boss.”

“The fallen boss is the one you killed?”

“Yes, this guy is in the city, we need to catch him as soon as possible.”

Longque suddenly folded his hands and put them on the bridge of his nose, staring at him.

 “You seem very anxious about this.”

 He suddenly asked: "Is there any reason?"

 This is the disadvantage of playing against smart people.

Lu Fuji sighed, knowing that this guy was very insightful, and said frankly: "Well, there is something wrong with my sister, and this guy may know something. Of course, if you are proficient in medical skills, you can understand If it’s this thing, there won’t be such trouble.”

 He took out the little girl’s test report.

Longque glanced at him and pushed him back silently.

Lu Fuji shrugged.

“This is clearly not a normal brain injury.”

Longque was silent for a moment: "Since it's your secret, I won't ask you. After all, with your character, when you can't handle it or you need me, you will confess to me."

　　　Shika Fujiu breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Lu Sixian is a witch, so it is best to hide her.

Although Long Que seems to be a good person, he still remembers Yuan Qing’s advice.

 “The problem is, today is not the day to act.”

Longque suddenly said: "The high priest is going to the city center today to hold a ceremony to sacrifice to the sky, so as to communicate with the true nature of the Kabbalah Tree of Life and replenish the lost divine power. During this process, she will be at her weakest stage, and the entire city will be under martial law. The level will be the highest.”

He reminded: "Once we act rashly, we may commit crimes against the odds. Don't forget, the people behind Aoki are still watching behind the scenes. Although I guess, they are essentially just trying to do it because of party disputes or fear of taking the blame. The matter of the Corpse Cult was suppressed and resolved privately...but I didn't expect that it would make the Cult of Corpse grow stronger in the end, making it impossible to end it."

 This speculation is indeed reasonable.

 If this is really the case, that group of people will most likely put the blame on them again.

 That’s disgusting.

“I feel I must take action today because when I was out on a mission, the people of the Corpse Cult had been preparing to attack a certain big shot in the city for several years.”

Lu Fuji said with a frown.

 “You mean, they want to kill the high priest?”

Longque frowned: "This is almost impossible. The high priest has the power of the sacred tree in her body, and there are only a handful of ways to kill her in this world. If the Corpse Food Cult had that ability, it would have gone to heaven long ago."

Lu Fuji was silent for a moment and took out three paintings of the little girl.

 “I remember they mentioned it.”

He emphasized: "This is the flesh and blood of the gods. I don't know what its specific function is, but you should know."

 The flesh and blood of the gods!

Longque's hand on the table flicked like an electric shock, and finally frowned, his eyes solemn: "If it is the flesh and blood of a god, this thing must contain a lot of dark matter. Once the power of the explosion is immeasurable, I will notify you immediately Sacrifice Hall, they must be careful and strengthen their investigation of the city, but time is very tight and they cannot be expected to find the terrorists.”

Lu Fujian hummed: "I think so too."

Long Que glanced at his frown, and suddenly thought of his sister who seemed to have shown a similar expression when he was sick, and her eyes were a little dazed.

 “I just said it’s inappropriate, but I didn’t say it’s impossible.”

 He said calmly: "Let's go, I'll help you find him."

 Lu Fuji was surprised: "Are you confident?"

 “As long as he lives.”

 Longque lit a cigarette and puffed away the smoke.

I will continue to add more updates today. I don’t know if I can write three or four chapters. It depends on the status.
