The man wore a small round hat on his head and had a featureless face. He was about forty years old. He was walking towards Lu Ning. His eyes did not fall on Lu Ning, and his steps were frivolous. Doesn't seem to have learned any martial arts.
He didn't see through the silence, it was just a coincidence that he appeared here. Lu Ning was not sure that this was the man whose identity he was wondering about just now, but at this point in time, there should not be a person dressed like this in the stadium.
She followed the man.
The man walked slowly along the spectator stand. His expression seemed to be filled with deep nostalgia, as if this place was of great significance to him. After circling more than half of the stadium, he stopped in front of an entrance door, squinted his eyes slightly, and looked towards the center of the field.
Then he stood there for a good fifteen minutes.
When Lu Ning was almost impatient, the man finally made a move. He took out a square seal from his pocket, squatted down, and made a mark on the back of a seat.
The square-shaped imprint is different from the special font I saw from Mao Yizheng before. However, Lu Ning took a closer look and found that the font should be symbols written in another kind of calligraphy, just like the difference between real cursive and official seal script, but the characters were still the same.
Only when you truly master this writing can you begin to expand your fonts. Lu Ning no longer covered herself, removed her disguise, raised her hand and pressed her fingers on his neck.
The man didn't look shocked at all, he even just shrank his muscles slightly but didn't move his body at all.
"do not move."
"Don't worry, I won't move. I'm just a helpless person." The man tilted his head slightly and looked at Lu Ning.
"who are you?"
"A mortal, a lonely traveler."
"Stop telling me this, why do you have such a seal? Where did the seal come from?"
The man was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Well... I see, you came here to investigate this matter. This carved seal is a relic I got."
"Relic? You-"
"My son's relics." The man shook his head sadly, "He died of depression and only left a few relics after his death. But my family is ruined and I have no worries in this life."
"Why did you print it on the back of the chair?"
"It's just following the revelation." The man chuckled, "I don't know what the meaning of doing this is, but since it is what my son left, I will follow it. So far, I have never encountered anything because of it. It’s dangerous, I think it must be my son still protecting me.”
"But you met me today." Lu Ning said coldly, "Before this, have you ever been to the old district in the south of the city, where you gave a child a sum of money to kill someone?"
"Because it was the right thing to do," the man said. "If someone needs to be killed, then that person should die then. All of this is an inevitable result, the changes are meaningless, I just facilitated them. It's like Little girl, since I didn’t receive any warning, that means I don’t need to worry about you, you are harmless to me.”
This person... his thinking is quite strange.
"How did you get those revelations?"
"I could hear it, it was my son's voice."
"Your son? What happened to your son?"
The man smiled bitterly: "My son was born with special abilities, but his abilities are not accepted and recognized by others. And I failed to protect him from unprovoked violence. It was my dereliction of duty. Now, what have I done? There is nothing left. Girl, no matter what you ask, I can only answer that I am following my son's footsteps and moving forward, but I actually don't understand what the mystery is."
"What are you going to do now?" Lu Ning asked immediately.
"Put a seal behind the shadows of the four spires cast by the sun." The old man smiled, "I have already finished it, and it just so happened that you appeared behind me at this time. It's all such a coincidence, isn't it?"
Lu Ning was immediately startled, and she immediately looked around. The scene in the stadium was still the same as before, but none of the staff who were cleaning the venue not long ago could be seen now.
The man suddenly acted like he was listening. Lu Ning immediately raised her hand to grab the other man, only to find nothing.
"Look, little girl, I just said that everything is inevitable for you and me. I can accomplish what I should do, and you can't hurt me. Everything has a certain fate. If we are destined, we will meet again. Next, I will do the next thing I should do." The man walked down the steps with a smile. Lu Ning immediately threw out the lightning, but it passed directly through his body and failed to cause any damage to him.
Obviously she could still contact the other party just now.
Lu Ning used Requiem to look at the man who was leaving. He didn't have any aura of life or death on his body, or he was like a ball of air. Lu Ning suspected that he had transferred her own space in some way, but at this time she really had no way to transcend the space and catch him.
The man suddenly disappeared after about fifteen meters away, and the staff in the stadium also appeared again at this time. As if entering a special world, Lu Ning covered her figure again and looked behind the seat.
The engraving has disappeared. After the strange spell was activated, it seemed that the face engraving was sent to another world. She raised her head and saw that the sun was at its peak, and the sharp tips protruding from the four corners of the stadium, which existed as landscape pillars, cast shadows into the stadium, which were the marks chosen by men. But his steps were not fast either. The instructions must not have been carved at the same time, but perfectly matched the man's living habits.
He was not a believer, but he followed the mysterious command more devoutly than a believer, and the revelation truly gave him a response.
Lu Ning remembered this person, then continued to arrange her preparations in the stadium, and then returned to school.
It was already afternoon when she returned, and there was no one in the cafeteria. Lu Ning ordered a rice bowl and sat in front of the TV in the cafeteria.
The midday news was coming to an end, and Lu Ning listened attentively. Anyway, the content of the news was basically like that. Really important events would not be broadcast until it was over.
[...A few days ago, in the suburbs of Ninghua District, the police discovered the body of a second missing teenager, less than two days after the first body was found. Please see the live coverage below. 】
When this news reached her ears, Lu Ning suddenly raised her concentration.
Teenage death?
Of course, it is impossible to release the body from the news footage, only the reporter's interview with the police and the situation at the scene that has been cleaned up, but the process can still be described orally. This incident began with the disappearance of four college students. All four were freshmen. They went out for a barbecue but stayed away all night. It was not until a day later that they were discovered to have lost contact and called the police. Two days later, the body of one of them was found in a grassy area in the suburbs. The body was in a miserable state, as if it was a deliberate revenge, with scars all over the body. The cause of death was excessive blood loss. The police have not found any clues about the murderer nearby. At present, they can only infer that the body was transported and dumped after death. However, the nearby road is in the wilderness and there is no surveillance, which brings great difficulties to the investigation.
What I found today is the second one. This one was even worse. His limbs were cut off and put into a big garbage bag and piled next to a trash can. Judging from the on-site analysis, the boy was already dead before his limbs were cut off. It was probably just for convenience by the murderer. Many scars were also found on the limbs and torso, and most of them were even different from the scars on the previous body, indicating that the murderer had used a different method to torture the boy.
Judging from this, the remaining two boys may also be in trouble.
The report did not mention issues related to parents and schools. I'm afraid they were suppressed. Lu Ning noticed the location. It was near this city. It was really not that far away.
Could this be the beginning of the "15-year-old murder case"? Is it the real murderer who needs to be caught? The distribution center has always been good at playing word games, and now it uses the word "real murderer". There is probably a lot of smoke bombs in the arrest process.
Lu Ning hurriedly finished her meal and hurried back to her dormitory to carefully search for reports related to the case.
This incident has already been discussed online. It seems that the parents of the first victim posted the situation online, which attracted a lot of attention. At present, there is still a lot of information, and there is not much news reported by reporters from the police. What's more, there are absolutely no scene photos of this kind of case.
However, Lu Ning still pieced together some on-site situations from fragments of reports. There is no doubt that the murderer is very cunning. The place where the four students disappeared is more than ten kilometers away from the place where the body of the first victim was found. Everything on the two victims found so far has been taken away, leaving only The intimate clothing left almost no clues that could be used to track the murderer. It seems that no similar characters were found among the four students' interpersonal relationships.
Now, except for pure murderers, the purpose of kidnapping is not to kill people. However, the families of the four boys have not received any blackmail messages, and the same is true for relevant parties such as schools and teachers. There was a short time interval between the disappearance of the person and the murder, which meant that the murderer did not directly kill the four people and then take them away. The time of death can also be roughly inferred from the forensic autopsy, and there will not be much error in this regard.
So, what is the murderer's purpose?
Lu Ning only knew the name "Fifteen Youth Murder Case". It can be estimated that the murderer will kill a total of fifteen people. Such a serial murderer may really be a murderer, but simply like this, the distribution center will not let him Visitors come to the rescue. After all, tourists have their own superpowers, so this task must be at least a certain degree of difficulty. In Lu Ning's opinion, the real murderer must also have superpowers.
"Lu Ning, you're back very early."
As soon as the bedroom door opened, Ying Caiyi walked in holding a box. Lu Ning looked up, got up and went over to help her move the box into the house.
"Thank you."
"It's quite heavy. What did you get?" Lu Ning was also a little surprised. He never bought any large furniture for the dormitory, but although the box that Ying Caiyi brought back was only the size of a small suitcase, it was not heavy. It's light. According to Lu Ning's estimate, it weighs close to ten kilograms.
"That's it, iron guy." Ying Caiyi wiped the sweat from his head, then took out the knife from the pen holder and opened the box, taking apart the foam inside. There were two display screens and a lot of metal brackets inside.
"Good guy, if you put these things on your table, is there room for anything else?" Lu Ning was surprised.
"No way, a big boss came to the live broadcast room to give it to me." Ying Caiyi scratched her head.
"Wait, did you put private information into the live broadcast room?" Lu Ning suddenly became alert.
"Where is it? He got a big reward. I was too embarrassed to leave it to others, so I added my contact information. Oh, this account was also specially applied for by me as an anchor and so on. It is not private..."
"Then I know you can send things here?" Lu Ning interrupted her, "Aren't you very careful?"
"Send it to school, use the screen name." Ying Caiyi quickly waved her hand, "I know, the problem is that anchors have to learn slowly, and I don't know how other anchors deal with big rewards. of."
Lu Ning covered her forehead. It is true that Ying Caiyi is quite smart, but this matter is a matter of social experience. She has dealt with it in a way that she thinks is smarter. However, for Lu Ning, these are not safe.
"Lu Ning, why do you care so much about this? Did something happen again?"
"You are a keen listener, yes, that matter is not over yet. But the most important thing is that you have to be careful."
"What are you careful about?"
"A big case happened near our city, and the bodies of two people have been found. Do you know?"
Ying Caiyi was stunned for a moment. It seemed that she really didn't know, so Lu Ning showed her what she had found.
"I really haven't paid attention to it. This hasn't been a hot topic on the Internet yet, has it? Hey, but our country is so big, and a murder case doesn't really concern you, right? Usually I just take a quick look at this kind of news. Anyway, the police are sure It’s being traced.”
"Do you believe me?"
"Uh... Is there a secret behind this?"
"I'm not sure, but I don't think this matter will end that easily. This person has kidnapped four people and has killed two. The remaining two will probably be dead if they can't be found. People like us have been arrested again. There are more important cases involved, and I can’t spare my hands to deal with such a case. What I’m worried about is, what if this person kills four and it’s not over yet?”
"Serial murderers usually have their own motives, right? Killings indiscriminately... are not very common in modern times."
"Anyway, please be careful and don't leak private information casually."
"Don't worry, just this time, the boss wants to watch me play a new game and bought me two screens. We have to be worthy of the reward, right?" Ying Caiyi handled the matter with a smile.
