We are just a grain of dust in the chaotic time, missing the slender bottleneck of time.
We admire the splendid culture and art bursting out from endless civilizations, and whisper the eulogies of prosperity and decline in low voices.
Qin Ya opened her hands. The limbs wrapped in the silver coat were slender and strong. They were very strong even in close combat, but they were rarely used. The earthly world did not need those messy fighting methods. Every one of them Human means are single and pure.
"Welcome to wake up, friends." Alexandra and Nadu walked out from behind the buildings on both sides. They were not wearing masks and had a smile on their faces. Qin Ya put down her hand and looked up at Tualatin.
"You didn't run away?"
"You can't run away." Tualatin's answer was very direct. "I don't have the ability to escape in front of the four of you, so I might as well take a close look at the energy of the world's wanderers. However, based on my experience of you all Understood, you shouldn’t unleash your power in this place, right?”
"Of course, you are a very smart person, but it's a pity that you are not detached enough." Alexandra smiled, "We will not destroy this place, and the earth will not react to your actions, even if it is us New friends."
Qin Ya put her hands on her face, and a mask slowly formed: "Qin Ya is dead, you can call me by the name Nemesis."
"Very good, then do you want to fulfill the meaning of this name?" Nadu suddenly asked.
"No, my 'performance' was completed before death. Qin Ya wanted to leave some clues to her companions, and then use her own death as a way for them to move forward...a bad thing I like to do very much, A cliched revenge drama. The final executor must not be me." Nemesis let go of his hand, and the silver mask had already formed on his face. "Alexandra, please help handle the scene. I am not suitable for this. thing."
Alexandra laughed: "Of course, my dear friend, you want this to be a perfect murder scene. But what should be done with the people who leave?"
"No one will listen to the words of the enemy, and I will not show up easily in the future." Nemesis put his hands behind his back and looked at Tualatin, "Mr. Pope, what else do you want to say?"
"Please Alexandra, please take action." Tualatin smiled, "Of course, I will defend with all my strength, at least before death, I want to know how big the gap is between us and the top strength."
"Top?" Alexandra raised her middle finger, clasped it on her thumb, and pointed at Tualatin, "We are just dust wandering in the world, lucky enough to escape from the original shackles. The real world is far larger than what we are. Know."
"Thank you for informing me." Tualatin's body glowed with golden light.
Alexandra blinked and flicked her fingers: "Pieces."
There was no sound, no effect of light and shadow. Just half a second later, the golden light on Tualatin's body rippled, and countless concentric circles appeared on his chest. The increasingly exciting lines penetrated in an instant. The golden light penetrated deep into his skin. Everything in his body was shattered in the continuous spreading shock, and even the original state could not be retained. Two seconds later, Tualatin's whole body collapsed like a castle made of piles of fine sand, and the things on his body collapsed. Under the golden light, the attack's light spot flickered in the air for a moment, and continued to rush towards the distant building.
"We are just here to greet our companions." Alexandra snapped her fingers lightly, "Bo."
Gentle waves lifted up the clothes of the four Earthly Ashes. Whether it was the remaining powder of Tualatin or those killed by Nemesis, they all disappeared at this moment, together with the one that was about to cause devastating damage. The particles also disappeared, but at the same time, strong winds blew around them. Except for the four people who seemed to be surrounded by only a light breeze, the rest of the places even blew more violent storms than before, as if to wipe out what had happened. All traces here.
Immediately afterwards, the silver in the rain quickly disappeared.
=
The two cars stopped almost one after another in the rain. Lu Ning got out of the car door and looked at Xie Qitong opposite, nodded to each other, and rushed to the place where the communication was finally cut off.
"Tin Ya will never be killed without resistance. The properties of the mantra she has mastered make her at least qualified to give it a try under any circumstances. At least she can leave many traces on the scene." Xie Qitong said quickly, "Lu Ning, let's search separately for signs of fighting, especially signs of superpower damage. Although the mantra cannot be directly displayed here, I can rely on rituals to track it."
Lu Ning made a gesture to express understanding, and then began to check the surroundings bit by bit. The violent storm had washed away almost all traces of the surrounding areas, and various organizations must have their own methods of cleaning up the scene. Lu Ning did not have high hopes of finding any traces.
However, she soon stepped on a pool of mud-like soil.
The soil around here should be the same, and normally this should not happen unless someone deliberately loosens the soil. Lu Ning shouted immediately, and at this time Ana and Weng Cunxie also walked over.
"I checked around and found no one else... Hiss, why is the smell of blood so strong?" Ana pinched her nose and frowned.
When Xie Qitong heard these words, he immediately took out a piece of paper, tore it several times quickly and threw it into the air. The piece of paper was immediately soaked by the rain and fell in all directions. An eyeball struggled to come out of Xie Qitong's forehead, its red pupils staring at the muddy land Lu Ning stepped on.
"is blood……"
"Blood?" Lu Ning glanced at the ground, "Did they bury people here?"
"No one... no body." Xie Qitong's voice lowered, "It's all blood, mixed with the soil, and some... fibers of the clothes have melted."
Although he spoke very scatteredly, everyone understood what he meant.
"The corpses have been destroyed." Ana shook her head, "We are still a step too late. I heard the sound of other vehicles arriving, but I couldn't smell the smell of the people here, so they probably had already retreated. "
"Those people gathering here must have some conspiracy to discuss." Weng Cunxie said.
"But Qin Ya interrupted their party. These people must know that it is no longer safe here. It is not that difficult for organizations with supernatural abilities to evacuate."
"But it's not that simple." Lu Ning walked out of the mud with a sullen face, "The time from receiving the call to now is less than half an hour. They can retreat with key materials, but things related to the mantra are not that easy. You guys We all know that low-level believers will have a lot of bits and pieces on them.”
For both Lu Ning and Xie Qitong, they can quickly find clues from these things.
"But the people Donald called are probably coming soon." Weng Cunxie reminded.
If nothing else, the people called by Donald must be the secret police. With these police around, it would be very difficult for Lu Ning and others to act. The secret police will definitely seal off the entire scene, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to obtain relevant information about the characters.
"We have to find something. Qin Ya's death must be exchanged for something." Xie Qitong immediately made a decision, "Weng Cunji, you can try to deal with it here. We know Donald, and he also knows the purpose of our coming. If you try to delay it for a while, I will go to the house over there to search for evidence."
"Ana, you come with me." Lu Ning said, "Our search capabilities complement each other. Help me find if there is any residual smell that you are familiar with."
"No problem, I'm also curious if we are dealing with the same group of guys."
The three people rushed into the heavy rain and ran towards the nearby row of buildings. Weng Cunxie shrugged helplessly and went to call Donald to see if he could ask the people who came to deal with the scene more slowly.
Relying on Ana's super five senses and Lu Ning's familiarity with various rituals, the two quickly locked onto a hotel where people were obviously coming and going. Xie Qitong found the hotel owner's body from a cellar and cut his throat with a knife. Judging from the degree of decomposition, he had been dead for at least three or four days. The entire hotel was empty. Lu Ning and Ana broke down the doors one by one. Lu Ning found some remnants of the ritual diagram in a room on the second floor, but they were very inconspicuous and were severely damaged. There was no way to reverse them. Extrapolate. Of course, the most important thing was that nothing was left behind, only a few materials that seemed to be used for rituals were found.
"Ana, did you find anything over there?"
"This group of people is quite ferocious." Ana said, "The things they have arranged here include not only the world's mantra system defense, but also many other technology system items that have been dismantled. There is basically no time to cover up these traces. Indeed, As you said, they evacuated very hastily.”
"With so many people acting together, there has to be something left behind, right? I don't think a few people can push Tan Ya into a desperate situation." Lu Ning kicked open the door of a room again, and a strong rancid smell wafted from inside. When they came out, the bodies of other hotel staff were piled in this room. It was estimated that some means had been used to seal the smell and the like in the room before Lu Ning kicked them away.
"Before I leave, I'm going to be disgusting..." Ana, who was walking over, also saw it. To her with a keen sense of smell, the smell of corpses was even more disgusting. She was already holding her nose and talking.
"Huh, not disposing of these corpses is their failure."
Lu Ning walked into the stinky room. The corpses had already decayed to varying degrees, but after all, they were only a few days old and still retained the most important characteristics of death. Not only did their leader take action to deal with so many people, but also for the group of people who had the ability to set their sights higher than the top, "clearing out" was just the task of the younger brothers.
It is impossible for low-level believers to do things perfectly. In other words, the perfect crime itself is an extremely difficult task, even if you have super powers. Lu Ning turned on the light on her mobile phone and glanced over the corpses. She quickly found a few people who had been killed using the knowledge of the mantra to save trouble.
"It's true to destroy the thread, the dial, the furnace..." She squatted down in front of a corpse, took out a knife from her pocket, and stabbed the wound diagonally with the blade.
"Lu Ning, I have to remind you that the secret police will come and check the scene soon. Breaking the door doesn't matter, but they probably have to investigate the cause of death of these people." Ana said.
"Yes, because of this, I want to add some spice to their deaths." Lu Ning replied, "I want to make the wounds on their bodies more obvious and more serious... We can no longer allow these scourges to be around. If they act arbitrarily, the secret police must do something practical, right?"
"They may not be able to defeat them." Ana shrugged. "We have examined the strength of the secret police. It may be okay if they only deal with the believers of the truth, but after a group of organizations intervened, they also had to plan something like driving tigers and devouring wolves. There’s a way.”
"There is no transcendent force. Even the Aurora is restrained by earthly dust. If you look at it this way, human beings are really pitiful." After treating the wounds one by one, Lu Ning sighed, "The only secret police who can protect them are a group of people. People who are not strong enough.”
"Well...that's not necessarily the case." Ana said after pondering for a moment.
"Um?"
"We have noticed some forces hidden here. No, their specific ownership is not very clear. It is like there is someone or something with the will to maintain the balance, so the film and television base can maintain the normal operation on the surface. None of those incidents affected the base's filming, promotion and bidding plans."
Indeed, the film and television base seems to have been blessed by something. No matter what the various forces secretly do, to the outside world, it is just a place where three different platform filming projects are ongoing. Even though so many people died and there were so many casualties in the past two days, the outside world didn't even notice?
"You don't understand the reason either?"
"Yes, it's like the dead people have no relatives to pay attention to. At most, it is because of some damage caused by the battle. The film and television base was re-opened on the grounds of maintenance. This weird situation is probably not only noticed by us."
"Then the purpose of their gathering is to find out the person who secretly protects the base?" Lu Ning asked.
Ana just smiled, it seemed like she didn't know the answer either.
"If there is really such a person or force protecting or covering the film and television base... what is the purpose? The organizations gathered here must break through this protection in order to spread their own terror. Wait a minute, they can obviously Aren’t you going to carry out terrorist activities here?”
"They have to do this. If they can leave easily, who would want to get involved in such a chaotic vortex? Don't forget, evil people actually cherish their own lives more." Ana raised her hand and grabbed it on the door frame. After a few clicks, there was some shiny powder on my hand.
"What did you find again?"
Ana came closer and smelled it, then stuck out her tongue and dipped it lightly: "It's salt."
