"Ferris."
When "Tiger" with a walkie-talkie on his chest approached, he called softly in a light voice.
The guy who should theoretically only be able to hear the sound has been laughing and joking from now on. Needless to say, he knew exactly what was going on here.
Even so, the owner of the skull ring still said in an exaggerated tone: "Hey, little girl. What are your orders?"
"Don't you have anything to explain to me?"
"What can I say? Do you think that what happened here is my fault?"
"That's a coincidence. Sooner or later, just when you decided to deal with Sang Lian, this place turned from a rental house to a slaughterhouse."
"Ah, what are you talking about a slaughterhouse? Isn't this a cafeteria?"
As Ferris spoke, he yawned in a loud and deliberately loud voice.
"Although I have taken the lead in dealing with the earthworm, I can't say that there is no oriole behind me. There are so many serious managers in this city, except for the former master, who can deal with the earthworm to some extent. Two, right? It's not like I have to ask my aunt for help. If they have a whim, it's enough to do it themselves."
"That is to say, the people here were killed by other 'lords', is that what you mean?"
"That's not true," Motian said with a smile, "eating in such a mess doesn't look like the behavior of a decent person! As far as I'm concerned, that earthworm went crazy on its own."
"Then I'd rather believe it was you who did it."
"Yes or no, little girl, won't it be clear if you go in and take a look? Even if all the mortals here are eaten, the earthworm will not die too quickly, and there will be some corpse parts left behind."
Zhou Yu loosened his fingers, and the emerald green hair slipped from his fingertips and drowned in a pool of blood. After walking through the winding corridor, the iron door leading to Sang Lian's room appeared in front of her.
Above the iron gate, a bare human head hangs. Perhaps because there was no hair to hold it in place, the murderer directly inserted an iron pipe into the head of the head, and then clamped the rope tied to the iron pipe with the door to hang the head in front of the door. When the door leaf was touched by an external force, the rope hanging the head slipped off quickly and rolled into a pool of blood together with the head. Zhou Yu, who held the door handle, turned his head slightly and cast his last glance at the object once named "Brother Dan".
The expression on the head showed little fear, just confusion and surprise. That must have been solved by the murderer in an instant.
After coming to a conclusion, he pushed open the door and entered.
Compared with the situation in the rental house, the back room is much better. There were no blood-stained corpses as expected, but the curtain used to separate the inside and outside was in tatters, exposing the bed, washbasin and other living things behind it.
Zhou Yu picked up the damaged curtain, unfolded it, and tried to piece it together with the hanging pieces of cloth. From the position of the crack, there was some kind of huge mark, like a tearing mark from an animal's claws.
Just as he was looking at the claw marks, "Tiger" and "Wild Cat" walked in one after another. Even though they faced such a situation, the two of them still had the same indifferent attitude as zombies.
"Hey, there is no body of that earthworm. It seems that it escaped."
As soon as "Tiger" walked in, he clearly didn't describe the situation, but Motian commented as if he was present at the scene.
"It's such a shabby underground cave, and only reptiles can barely live in it. Hey, snakes and earthworms happen to be the same thing..."
Zhou Yu ignored his statement and asked directly: "Where is Sang Lian?"
"Oh, little girl, can't you see? The earthworm has run away. If I knew his whereabouts, how could I hide it from you, little girl?"
"Where are those eyeliners of yours who are messing around? They are staring at me all day long, but you don't monitor your real target?"
"That's my fault. The surveillance has been set up a long time ago. It's just a flying thing in the sky. What can we do with that Tu Xingsun? There is no trace of him at the entrance or exit of the station. He must be hiding somewhere underground. .”
After hearing his words, Zhou Yu suddenly thought of Hongye again. On the night when she first pursued Sang Lian, Hongye put her finger on his forehead, which triggered a strange vision. If he could fall into that state again, he might be able to find Sang Lian. Now it seems that Ferris does not have similar abilities, and he does not know how to use it independently.
"...He didn't leave the subway. Are you sure of this?"
"If it's a nearby subway station, I can guarantee that I won't know what's a little further away. Other managers won't let me wander around. There aren't many wild places like this in the city now."
"That is to say, he was not walking through the subway tunnel."
Zhou Yu whispered to himself softly. He completely ignored Motian's pretentiousness in the second half of his sentence - judging from the freshness of the bloodstains, it was only half an hour at most. Unless Sang Lian chooses to take the subway, she can't go very far just by walking.
However, the trains on this route are rarely scheduled at night, and they may even be twenty minutes apart at midnight. If you are being chased, you won't have time to wait quietly at the station. Xinyue Road Station, which leads to the city's main line, is where Zhou Yu arrived just now. There are no traces of any abnormalities left there.
"Oh, this is really annoying."
Probably thinking about the same question as him, Motian said in a slow tone: "It's probably still hiding in the tunnel, right? Or jumping on the train when it passes through the tunnel is another option."
"Do you know the concept of jumping from the side of a high-speed train without being blown under the wheels by the wind?"
"Hey, little girl, a monster who lives by eating mud, do you think he still cares about these rules? Even if he buries himself alive in the soil, he will never die."
"If he is alone, it is indeed what you said. But didn't you notice? There is one missing body here."
The basins, towels, and hot water bottles left in the room were all placed behind the curtains. Because the environment is extremely shabby, you can tell at a glance that there is no hidden storage space. It was obvious that there was no such thing as a razor in this closed room.
"...He's called Boss Yu, right? That person might not be dead yet, and he should still be with Sang Lian now. If he still needs to take care of that mortal, Sang Lian won't be so easy, right? In such a single-lane tunnel If you run away, your opponent will catch up sooner or later."
When he said this, his thoughts suddenly became clear, and he let out a soft sigh.
"Hey, little girl, did you think of something? That's great. It seems like it's a wise move to ask you to do something."
I don’t know what the quality of that walkie-talkie is. It’s obviously just a very slight sound, but Motian seems to hear it clearly. After he finished saying this, because he still couldn't get a response from Zhou Yu, he added with a smile: "In this way, I guess we can successfully get rid of the earthworm tonight, right? Just in time, little girl, you You can also reunite with that female classmate as soon as possible."
That's an obvious threat.
In response, Zhou Yu just turned his gaze sideways and gave the walkie-talkie a scornful smile.
"Do you really think I care about this?"
"Don't hold on, little girl. I can understand you secretly wiping your tears behind your back. Alas, I can't help but cry bitterly when I think of the last master's body."
"I don't have that perverted hobby like yours. Let's go and dig out earthworms before our competitors."
Zhou Yu walked back to the subway tunnel. The "Tiger", who had been as silent as a sculpture since just now, chased him closely, while the "Wild Cat" followed staggeringly a few steps away.
Motian was still making an annoying and weird laugh: "Little girl, don't be so unkind. Tell me, where are you going to dig up earthworms?"
"Then you can't guess the place that suits you?"
"Of course. Although I like to see the city scenery, I am not a roundworm in the stomach."
"Then let me tell you. When it comes to the place that best matches you,"
He pulled out the thin blade from the handle of the umbrella, pointed it at the fragile red soil, and outlined a square shape of adult height bit by bit. With a slight push on the door-like shape, the red soil fell down.
What came out from behind the wall was the foul smell of putrid sewage.
"——Look, gutters and sewers are the best for rats like you."
