Taking advantage of the darkness, Lu Ning quickly rushed to the study abroad institution. With the disguise provided by Jing Ming, she didn't need to care about whether she might be discovered, and walked up to the second floor from the main entrance in a dignified manner.
The second floor is like an ordinary office area, with some small cubicles and no one in them. There are only four or five staff members still busy in a large office. Lu Ning went in and took a look. They were indeed in charge of some application work for studying abroad, and they were probably not insiders.
It wasn't until Lu Ning entered the innermost office that she found what she was looking for.
There is a statue in this office, about the length of a forearm. The statue is a ferocious-looking gargoyle. The eyes should be inlaid with rubies, making it more vivid. On this statue, Lu Ning saw exactly the same twisted state as before in Office No. 70 of the Chemistry Building, and it was smaller.
She reached out and picked up the statue. There was no incongruous feeling in her hands. Even if she controlled the suppression effect of Judgment Day to a minimum, it was nothing special. It seemed to be something that needed to be activated. Lu Ning found a box to put the statue in, then took a closer look in the office, and suddenly realized something was wrong.
The owner of this office obviously does not have particularly good office habits. Things inside are messy. However, among such messy things, you can clearly see that there are some things missing... The light traces of dust in the corner show that something similar to a book was once placed there. There were a few books missing from the bookshelf, and a little cigarette ash was spilled next to the ashtray, which was buried under two sheets of paper.
Everything shows that this place was cleaned up in a hurry recently, maybe even today, and then the owner of the office left.
"It seems that you shouldn't underestimate this group of people." Lu Ning frowned. She had always dealt with enemies stronger than herself in the distribution center. Now that she was stronger, she didn't expect that these people would just pack up their things. Just ran away?
If this happens--
She left in a hurry and rushed back to the school dormitory. As expected, there was no one in Lu Jingyi's dormitory before.
In this way, she was not in a hurry. The people in the office cleaned up quickly and professionally, leaving no trace. But Lu Jingyi was not that professional, especially since Meng Xilin's heavy death aura could not be concealed at all. She could easily see the way Meng Xilin left.
At this time, her cell phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Lu Ning, it's me." Ying Caiyi's voice came over the phone, "Are you still studying on your own?"
"I have something to do tonight. I'll go back later. What's the matter?"
"Well...if you have something to do...it's nothing. Just wait until you come back. Don't play that game yet."
"What's going on?" Lu Ning asked while following the trail of death energy.
"Isn't the game fully open tonight? There are a lot of people playing now, but there seems to be a lot of debates in the forum. I'm not sure..." Ying Caiyi said vaguely.
"What argument?"
"In short, it's just a bunch of gangsters who are always picking out the details."
"No, I play games and I don't know how to read the forum. Even if there are negative reviews all over the place, it won't affect me. Why did you call me specifically?" Lu Ning asked.
"I...cough! Aren't you in good health?"
"Does this game require physical strength?"
"It seems to be true. Some people report that they will have severe dizziness and nausea after dying too many times in the game. I don't have this problem myself, but I feel very hungry at night after playing for a day. You know? My body is not tired. But otherwise it’s like exercising outside all day.”
"A lot of people have reported this problem?"
"It's not... that's why we got into a quarrel. And it's not sure whether it's related to the number of deaths or the game time. In short, this game... is recommended to you, so I have to take some responsibility." Ying Caiyi said.
"You're not feeling well, are you?"
"I'm okay. I just got better after eating more food, but you're not okay. You've only been feeling well for a while, right?"
"Thank you, I know, let's not play that game for now."
Ying Caiyi hummed a few times and hung up the phone. Lu Ning kept this matter in mind and continued to track the death energy - why did all kinds of magical things begin to appear in her ordinary life after just a few days of peace and quiet?
It's like she hasn't gotten out of the distribution center scene yet... But she doesn't have a mission anymore, right?
There's none?
The traces of the dead air were stretched thin and thin, forming a gradually dissipating line on the road. It was the state of being on a vehicle. However, Lu Ning is not worried about this method. The original attack in the Dislocation Rubik's Cube could even cross the world to hunt down others. This distance is not a problem at all within the combination of "Requiem" and "Judgment Day".
There were quite a lot of people around at night. Lu Ning once again strengthened Jing Ming's camouflage ability, and then raised her hand. Colorful lightning began to float on her palm. "Judgment Day" has seven types of lightning, red, blue, purple, brown, black, green, and gold. She can control which lightning color will be selected when activated, but every time this weapon kills The lightning will be switched randomly after the death of ten humans or creatures of similar level, or it will be switched after the effectiveness of a lightning is exhausted.
Red thunder bloomed in her hand, and the judgment of [Crazy] gave the user the power to transform into lightning and penetrate everything in front of her in a straight line. If someone kills someone on the way, the movable distance will be greatly reduced, but if Lu Ning only uses it for high-speed If moved, it can sprint a distance of nearly five kilometers in two seconds.
Lu Ning climbed up to a phone booth on the side of the road, stood on it and looked for directions, and then drove "Judgment Day". The extremely thrilling violent thunder sprint felt a little addictive. In just one breath, she appeared near a tall building.
Turn here.
She raised her hands to grab the eaves of the tall building, threw herself high again, and then drove again——
The red thunder penetrated more than a dozen streets, but it was not visible to ordinary people because of the "silence" cover. After several sprints like this, Lu Ning finally landed near an unfinished building near the edge of the city. There were very few pedestrians here.
"Oh? Is it here?" She looked at the door of the building where the dead energy gathered. There was not only Meng Xilin's trajectory here, there were more than a dozen trajectories gathered here, forming a weeping river.
Lu Ning flicked her fingertips, and the thunder turned black, representing the judgment of [Death].
The interior of the unfinished building was dark, so the sparse light was very conspicuous. Lu Ning followed the light and quickly found a group of people gathered there.
These people all looked like ordinary citizens, but their faces were smeared so red that their faces were completely unclear. They formed a circle, and in the middle of the circle was a statue that was the same as the previous gargoyle but about the same size as a human.
There were five torches around the statue, and a huge circular magic circle was painted on the ground. When Lu Ning saw this magic circle, she instantly felt a sense of ominousness. She was probably late.
The magic circle, like the faces of these people, were all drawn with blood. And with such a large amount of blood... Lu Ning didn't think these people would be so kind as to kill some chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep to replace them.
She searched around and finally found the corpses she didn't want to see in a corner of the unfinished building.
There were nine people in total, all young men and women between the ages of twenty and forty. Their throats were cut and their clothes were soaked with blood. Among these people, she also saw Meng Xilin. She was lying alone in a corner, her eyes still wide open with no sight, but even her last look had been lost. She probably would never have a chance to wake up until she died. Bar.
Lu Ning felt a little sad, turned around and walked towards the group of people gathered together. These people were mumbling words and clasping their hands on their chests as if they were praying devoutly, but this was nothing more than an evil ritual. Lu Ning couldn't find Lu Jingyi among these people. He didn't know whether she was unqualified or had gone somewhere else.
She just raised her hand, but paused for a moment.
[Death] Judgment can instantly explode the heads of ten people here, and no matter which form of judgment it is converted to, Lu Ning can kill all these cultists who have no real ability. But... this is not a scene in the distribution center. If she still kills wantonly according to the rules of the distribution center and makes a big fuss irresponsibly, she will not be able to leave.
It's not a problem of being discovered by others, but her own problem. She knew very well that her power was beyond imagination, and even the existence that could actually restrict her was estimated to be very rare. The more so, the more she needed to exercise self-control.
Since there are such cultists, there should also be corresponding handlers, right?
Lu Ning flicked her fingers to suppress the power of the thunder to a minimum to avoid implosion, and then waved her hands to spread the current. These people were just ordinary people. After being slightly struck by the thunder, they all fainted and fell to the ground. Some of them almost had their hearts stop beating.
"Someone should deal with you." Lu Ning picked up the phone and pulled "Quietness", "Then I might as well play a guest role as the Dark Knight."
The voice was disguised as a deep male voice by silence. She explained to the police the situation here and the key points of the murder of nine people. After giving the address, she hung up the phone. Of course, everything she holds will be affected by "quietness", and there probably won't be any number displayed there at all.
Let's see if the police come. Lu Ning left the unfinished building and hid nearby. About ten minutes later, two police cars came and parked at the door of the building. Only four police officers came down. It seemed that they did not pay special attention to this matter. But soon, Lu Ning saw a policeman running out yelling - nine corpses might be too exciting for some novice policemen.
But now that the police are here, Lu Ning knows that after going round and round, the case will be handed over to the right person, and this cult meeting has been broken up by her.
But just as she turned around to leave, she saw more gloomy and dark brilliance rising around her.
...Then the damn ritual wasn't a success, was it?
Some small spherical monsters with sharp beaks and bird feet began to emerge from beneath the ground. Lu Ning had seen these monsters before in the game. They were short in stature and had nimble movements, making them not so convenient to shoot. But these little monsters alone won't cause much difficulty.
Immediately afterwards, a tall and thin bird with wings appeared. Its wings reflected a metallic dark luster and looked extremely sharp.
Distortion point.
Lu Ning glanced behind her. The police were not aware of the monsters that suddenly started to appear here. Or could it be said that only she could see it? Are these things all following you?
Someone from the cult should have been left to ask for a confession just now.
But it just so happened that she was still a little hesitant to kill, but there was no psychological pressure at all when killing these monsters.
Raising his hand, black lightning began to gather and solidify in the palm of his hand. In an instant, Lu Ning felt that he had grasped the lifeline of the monsters appearing around him. With just a slight exertion -
Click.
Including the tall and thin monster, the bodies of ten monsters exploded immediately, and black lightning bloomed from the inside. No matter whether they were defending or evading, it was in vain. Lu Ning sprinted instantly, and the lightning in his hand had turned brown after completing the kill. It was not particularly suitable, but...
The cross-shaped thunder cut swept across the gathering dark light. [Famine] Judgment instantly weakened all the surrounding energy to the point where it could not be condensed and formed. The darkness that was still menacing just now disappeared. Lu Ning snorted and made sure that these things would not gather again, then really left.
Soon after, after several contacts with the police, the correct person was finally contacted. Soon, Meng Bin and Ji Changting, who were following the case, arrived at the scene. The cult members had been detained. The two went to check the statue first. Case.
"Is it a sacrifice?" Ji Changting was not sure after studying the statue.
"It doesn't seem to be the case. The corpse was only used to draw blood and was not used for sacrifice, and it was not mutilated too much. It is not a method of sacrifice for a cult. Hmm... What happened to those cultists? Were they all knocked unconscious? Even if they were all We are ordinary people, and there are so many people with no room to fight back?"
"All of them were unconscious and there were no external injuries." A police report said, "We checked, and it felt like being stunned by an electric shock device, but no trace of the electric shock device was found."
"There's no need to shock them one by one with a stun machine. Most of them are like us." Ji Changting smiled, "It's not difficult if we subdue these people at once, it just takes some preparation time."
Meng Bin nodded: "Yes, they seem to be ordinary people with some knowledge. However, the crime of murder was committed by them, and they will be dealt with in accordance with the law. The identities of these victims must also be found out to give them justice. In the end... …If possible, please give us all the information the reporter left.”
"There are only call records and no phone numbers. If you two want it, we will contact the bureau." The policeman said immediately.
The two nodded, and Meng Bin said to Ji Changting: "Let's go outside and take a look. There may still be evil spirits around here, but since the person who secretly reported the case has the ability to subdue them, maybe the evil spirits have also disappeared. It was solved easily."
"You want to be lazy?"
"No, this is a reasonable analysis of strength."
