Lu Ning knew that the skills she showed at the beginning could not be concealed from the opponent, so she could only show off and show an obvious sense of perfunctory in order to hide her ability. Although she had revealed her abilities to Mao Yizheng and her roommates, she was completely exempt from government control. She knew that it was just a scene now and she had not really returned to reality.
The test Emmy performed on her afterwards was relatively simple, which was a routine method of externally checking invisibility. Separate inspections of footprints, smoke, lights and infrared detection are all within the scope of quiet camouflage. Lu Ning's "stealth" is of course perfect.
"Okay, your basic ability registration has been completed." After Emmy made the final record for Lu Ning, she put it back in the drawer, "Tomorrow morning, your special identity number will be sent to your mailbox. The password to open is the last nine digits of your ID card. Do you have any other questions?"
"Officer Meng said he hoped I could cooperate..."
"Oh, this matter is not as simple as you think. Even if you are a superpower, you are still an ordinary person. When we cooperate with ordinary superpowers, we will not ask the other party to do dangerous things. The risk assessment of this matter currently being carried out is unknown." Emmy explained, "We will not let you do anything until we know the specific limits of your abilities."
"Okay." Lu Ning looked a little disappointed.
"Meng Bin, send classmate Lu Ning back." Emmy called Meng Bin in from outside the door. "As for the follow-up incidents of her other two classmates, we should deal with them according to normal methods. It is not impossible to reveal a little bit."
"Yes. Classmate Lu Ning, please come with me."
Meng Bin was the only one sending people back this time. On the way, Lu Ning asked: "Captain Emmy's head bowing problem isn't the only problem, right? Her condition looks very bad."
"...The captain has participated in many anti-cult operations, and she has been severely corroded by evil practices. We don't know what her physical condition is, but it's just not good." Meng Bin whispered, "But there is no doubt that , the captain is very experienced, she has only been here a few days, and we have already figured out the behavior of the superpower this time, and the case will probably be closed soon."
"Really? That would be great."
"If we need it, we will contact you, but generally you shouldn't need your invisibility ability. I didn't think twice about it. The captain is calmer."
Meng Bin parked the car outside the school, but Lu Ning said that she could handle the two roommates by herself, so Meng Bin gave her a few words and left. When Lu Ning returned to the dormitory, she found that both of them were already awake, sitting down below, one playing on the computer and the other scrolling through their mobile phones.
"You're back?" Ying Caiyi turned to look at her in her busy schedule, "Looks like everything's okay?"
"Aren't you two curious?" Lu Ning laughed.
"I'm curious, Ying Caiyi pushed me back." Li Xian curled her lips, "What's going on?"
"It's just a misunderstanding. I was regarded as a suspect in the investigation case, but I was able to clear the suspicion with a little investigation, and I also registered it."
"That's it..." Li Xian was a little disappointed.
"I just said it's nothing. Even a person with super powers wouldn't be able to do anything earth-shattering. The bedroom next door wasn't even disturbed. Lu Ning wouldn't be able to cause trouble even if he didn't have the ability. There aren't many traces of fighting in this room. , after comprehensive consideration, I just left on my own initiative." Ying Caiyi said.
"What? Li Xian, you still want us to fight?" Lu Ning feigned anger.
"No, I'm just new to what it's like to have conflicts between superpowers."
"You guys should go out less and join in the fun lately. It's true that people with super powers have caused some trouble. Since you are ordinary people, you'd better be careful."
"There's nothing wrong with staying on campus," Ying Caiyi said.
"Should be safe."
"Okay, we won't leave for the next few days. We have to start preparing for the final review anyway."
"Final period?" Li Xian's attention was immediately drawn away.
"It's already November, and exam week will be here in just over a month. I have to prepare in advance."
"Scared me..."
Ying Caiyi winked at Lu Ning, then turned his head and continued playing the game.

Apart from class time on Friday, Lu Ning spent all her time studying the part of the information Tang Ling gave her. It was difficult to solve the puzzle when everything was unknown, but after knowing the answer, the reverse process became simpler. In addition to the one that Lu Ning witnessed before, there were three other murders that occurred in the past few days. The times and places were different. At first glance, there seemed to be nothing in common, but Lu Ning could compare it with the "copybook" obtained from Mao Yizheng. ” to infer the corresponding meaning. There are courses on semiotics in the distribution center, but Lu Ning has not been able to study them in depth. All she can judge so far is that this belongs to a set of hieroglyphs, and the key point lies in the connection of the strokes of each symbol, which belongs to these characters. exists as a fulcrum.
Lu Ning screened those characters and compared the fulcrums against several locations where murders occurred on the map. However, even so, there were as many as six characters that overlapped with the four fulcrums, and it was impossible to determine which one they were trying to use. Painted and written on the earth.
But now Lu Ning has the fifth fulcrum position. The old district in the south of the city is a slightly deserted neighborhood that has gradually declined due to the transfer of the economic center. There are still people living there, but the living conditions of the people living there are not good.
Taking this fifth position as the fulcrum, if it is correct, Lu Ning will be able to completely determine which character the other party is using. Furthermore, she also knew where further disruption to the plan would be most fatal.
Assuming that the letter is correct.
Lu Ning was not someone who would bet everything on a letter from an unknown source. Even though the Red Snow Ball did come from the information provided by the distribution center, she did not dare to believe that this additional information was accurate. She also compared and marked the positions of the other five fulcrums of the six symbols on the map. At worst, she would have to make a trip every time she was tired in the past two days.
After class ended at three o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Ning went straight to Zhaoxing North Road. If Zheng Jiao'e's purpose was to establish a fulcrum there, then she would definitely be able to find some clues there.
But to her surprise, when she rushed there pretending to go shopping, she saw two policemen in plainclothes. The reason why she could recognize them was because one of them was the first time Meng Bin came to see her. The two people stood there as if chatting, but in fact they were probably monitoring something.
It seems that the team led by Emmy has also noticed? Lu Ning found a deserted place nearby and walked over invisibly. With these two policemen as markers, it also saved her time to continue searching.
The two policemen were guarding a deep alley, which was about thirty meters away from the place where the deceased had died. Now there was no one in the alley, and Lu Ning could not see the police when she walked over. She easily passed the sight of the two.
The seemingly empty alley was filled with strange fluctuations. Lu Ning raised her eyebrows and walked towards the center of the fluctuation. As the distortion became more and more suffocating, Lu Ning finally saw the stroke carved on the wall - it was like a silver hook on an iron painting in calligraphy. However, if one did not know the inside story, they would probably just regard it as wear and tear over the years. traces left behind.
This was a folding pen with a sharp angle, which was also an exclusion condition for Lu Ning. She immediately left the alley and rushed to the next place.
The strokes of those special symbols are different from ordinary calligraphy. Even arcs and waves exist. But it is precisely because of these complex features that each symbol has an obvious characteristic structure. As long as she finds out the characteristics, she can determine whether the symbol is which one.
Of course, I have to admit that it is closer to the old district in the south of the city indicated on the envelope.
After running through the two locations, Lu Ning was convinced that the fulcrum scratches in the characters were left in each place. This could not be removed by digging them out. The scratches were just marks, which were truly meaningful. It is a living sacrifice that has been completed.
"It looks like it's the old district in the south of the city." Lu Ning carefully compared the calligraphy sheets again, and there was indeed no second matching character for the three handwritings on them, unless the handwriting was not generated according to symbols. .
Despite this, for the sake of insurance, she still had to prepare to notify Emmy and others to prevent any accidents from happening in the remaining places, of course...including the old area in the south of the city.
Of course, this informant is not "Lu Ning". The identity of the mysterious person used in the unfinished building on the outskirts of the city can still be used again. Lu Ning printed out a few characters, typed out another explanation, activated Jingjing's disguise, and called the police station again.

"Captain! I got another call from the mysterious person before!" Ji Changting rushed into Emmy's office.
"Oh? What's going on this time?" Emmy looked away from the document.
"He provides predictive clues about the future of the Distortion Point!"
Emmy stood up instantly: "Is he still connected? Take me there immediately!"
"Yes! It's for this reason that I hurried over to find you!"
The two quickly rushed to the office where the call was answered. Meng Bin was there. All the ordinary police officers had been asked to leave, and only a few people from the same team were present.
"From the sound, it sounds like someone is coming over again? Do you need me to repeat it again?" A voice came from the phone, which had become hands-free. Emmy quickly came to the phone and said, "I am Emmy, the captain in charge of the distortion point incident here. Hello, sir."
"Captain? That's fine. If you have a leader, you won't be wandering around like headless flies. Miss Emmy, I would like to ask, will there be someone with a higher official position than you next?"
"No, I am the commander-in-chief of all actions in this city, please don't worry."
"Very good, then it's okay to repeat it again. Miss Emmy, I unfortunately encountered the aberration incident that happened in this city last time, so I took care of it a little bit. I thought it was just a cult, but I didn't expect it to be like this. A big case...and now I have to trust you as the people's defenders."
"Did you encounter any difficulties, sir?"
"I have in my hand a catalog of runes used by this cult. I have analyzed this catalog a lot, and I can at least determine what symbols they use. I have visited the core locations of several key events that occurred in this city. Combined with Judging by time, we can basically deduce the possible location of the next stop."
"Possible location? Excuse me..."
"In other words, where is the person they are going to kill next? I think it is good for you to take action in advance. You should not have any rules of 'don't act unless there is a situation'. To prove it, I will also compare the styles of the corresponding characters with I leave the interpretation to you, believe it or not. According to my speculation, detailed precautions are needed in up to six places. This precaution is not like sending a few policemen to Chengdu. They can kill people without anyone noticing. You There should also be appropriate ways to stop it.”
"We can completely control the six positions. But sir, if you don't reveal any personal information, you will also be focused on by us."
"Of course, I don't want to be like this, so I haven't contacted you too much before. And if you want to find me, you might as well give it a try." The voice on the other side let out a deep laugh, "Miss Emmy, if you let me I'm disappointed, and there will be no chance of cooperation in the future. Overall, I still hope that we can get along well."
"Understood."
"That's good. Finally, I have put the information into locker No. 230 downstairs in the Central Commercial Building. Whether it is a brute force attack or some other method, I believe you have the means to take out the contents. Good luck with your move.”
The phone hangs up.
"Captain, this..." someone asked with a frown.
"Two people will go and get the things back first. We will decide after discussion. Inform everyone to go to the conference room and prepare for the meeting. This time it is a surprise attack. If the information that person gave us is true, we can take the initiative in this operation. !”
"yes!"

Lu Ning suddenly understood why so many people liked to write anonymous letters like this to pretend to be sophisticated. In fact, making anonymous phone calls was quite satisfying.
Emmy shouldn't be someone who can't tell the difference between priority and importance. In this way, there will definitely be people from them wherever they go on Saturday. We can only hope that these people are strong enough to deal with those crazy believers. Of course she still wanted to go to the old area in the south of the city to take a look, and was even ready to kill Zheng Jiao'e on the spot.
But at night, she received a message from Mao Yizheng telling her that she had been in contact with Li Xilou. The good news is that Li Xilou seemed to be very interested in Lu Ning's contact and it didn't take him too long to agree. The bad thing was that Li Xilou couldn't get away. If Lu Ning wanted to see him, he had to Head to the capital.
Lu Ning asked if the phone call was okay, but Mao Yizheng said that although Li Xilou was willing to meet her, he was still not prepared to leak private information like this.
After a little tangle, Lu Ning agreed. Anyway, everything will probably be settled this week. After that, she is still interested in investigating the issue of distortion points, so she might as well talk to Li Xilou. Soon after, Mao Yizheng sent her a schedule and asked her to choose a time when Li Xilou would treat her at a top restaurant in the capital.
