The moon disappeared.
The bodies have also been disposed of.
The captain greeted: "Let's go, get in the car and go back."
Ji Xun and several colleagues who collected corpses closed the car door and left the gunpowder factory in a car.
For ordinary people, the sudden appearance and disappearance of the moon in the sky is probably just a source of conversation after dinner.
This kind of thing beyond cognition, if you can't see the essence behind the phenomenon, then it is just an ordinary lighting source.
It's like "enlightenment", something you can't understand, it doesn't even appear in your cognition.
...
Just as Ji Xun guessed, a "moon" appeared in the sky. This phenomenon could not go unnoticed.
Ordinary people have never heard of what the moon is, but some high-level spell card masters know it.
This is a mysterious symbol in some myths and legends.
There is a heavily guarded building at No. 117 Candy Street, XC District.
This is the headquarters of Golden Oak Security Company.
At the highest point of the building, several men in black suits stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the silver moon in the sky with gloomy expressions.
"Those guys from the Silver Moon Sect are really getting more and more arrogant. They blatantly want to pollute the faith of the entire city... They are really looking for death!"
"Those guys are still hiding in the dark, it's hard to find..."
"Yes. The ancient relic that "Lone Wolf" Balon brought back from the Devil's Cross Silver Moon Altar gave them a lot of help. If we really let those guys revive the will of the person pointed by Silver Moon, we will be in big trouble..."
"Have you found out what happened in Tailor Street last time?"
"It hasn't been found yet. But the guy's method already has some ideas. Judging from the way he skinned people, it should be the advanced profession [Burial Forensic] of [Diamond 3-Plague Doctor]. Our people are working on it Check..."
"Be careful lately. I got news that Dragon City has also sent people to investigate. They must have noticed something."
"Um..."
Under the moonlight, a strange layer of black mist rose up from the bodies of several people.
...
Not long after, the body collection team returned to No. 117 Dongcheng Street.
After stuffing the new customers into the iron cabinet, Ji Xun was left alone in the huge morgue.
He immediately took out a map of Innocence City that he had bought at the market and spread it out on the ground.
Then he took out a thin piece of white paper and started drawing.
Ji Xun recalled the layout of the secret room in the maze of the Great Cemetery in his mind.
When he cracked the maze before, he carefully observed the position of almost every brick in the maze, and now he clearly remembered the exact positions of the four stone pillars carved with sacrificial rituals.
It was an irregular rhombus shape.
"The distance between the upper and lower stone pillars is 18.5 meters, and the distance between the two left and right pillars is 13.2 meters. The lengths of the four sides are..."
Ji Xun recalled it in his mind while reducing it to scale.
Then use a ruler to mark the rhombus on the paper.
Recalling the position of the moon symbol on the ceiling, he placed an ink dot in the center of the rhombus.
Because the memory is not bad at all, this scale is very accurate.
Ji Xun thought about the moon he saw before, and thought in his mind: "The moon appeared just below the location, which should be near King Street in Zhongcheng District."
The exact position of that moon is not entirely accurate just by visual inspection.
He could only mark the approximate location where the moon appeared on the map of Innocence City.
Ji Xun took out a light source and hung it on the map, and took a photo of it on the white paper where he had drawn the pattern before.
The light shines through the paper, projecting rhombus-shaped black lines on the map.
Ji Xun pointed the black dot in the center of the diamond at King Street, and then slowly moved the white paper upwards, and the diamond lines on the map became larger and larger.
Move the angle of the rhombus again.
Overlay one corner of it with the location of the Tailor Street Cellar in East City on the map.
Then he marked the other three corners of the rhombus on the map.
At this glance, the location of the "four pillars" suddenly became clear.
"In this case, we can determine the point closest to me, which should be roughly around the Redwood neighborhood in North City..."
Ji Xun looked at the conclusion he had come to and made some calculations in his mind.
There were no mistakes, so the maps were put away.
The map is not particularly accurate, and this algorithm only estimates a general area.
What's more, he didn't confirm whether those guys had re-determined the positions of the "four pillars" after the exposure of Tailor Street.
No matter what,
Ji Xun still planned to go there and take a look first.
...
A few minutes later, Ji Xun changed his clothes and appeared in the dark alley behind the body collector's building.
He lifted up a raincloth, revealing a 70% new steam motorcycle.
This steam motorcycle only costs about 10,000 yuan, which I couldn't afford before.
After I came out of the maze last time and had money, I bought myself a car to make it easier to travel.
After it was started, there was a sudden roar, and Ji Xun rode the motorcycle speeding down the street.
It has to be said that traveling by motorcycle is much more efficient, as there is no need to stop at all the intercity train stations and waste time. Within half an hour, Ji Xun had already arrived at the Sequoia neighborhood in Beicheng.
This area also belongs to the civilian neighborhood of Innocence City.
There are several large factories nearby, the number of residents is large, and the personnel structure is very complex.
Ji Xun parked his motorcycle in a deserted alley, then put on a set of oil-stained mechanical factory clothes. The clown mask transformed into a sallow middle-aged face, quietly disguised as a tired man. Mechanical worker.
The more civilian neighborhoods are like this, the easier it is for outsiders to be noticed.
Regardless of whether your guess is correct or not, you must be prepared.
Ji Xun walked all the way down the street.
Innocence City has no municipal departments, and civilian neighborhoods are usually very dirty. There are swarms of flies on the garbage dumps, and rats bathe in sewage...
There are many pedestrians on the street, and children are chasing them.
The words most talked about are wages, strikes, new factories...
Ji Xun did not show any behavior that was inconsistent with this neighborhood, and therefore did not attract the attention of others.
He walked all the way and listened all the way.
But nothing unusual was found.
This is a completely ordinary civilian neighborhood.
After walking for an hour, I still found nothing.
But Ji Xun had a vague intuition that he had come to the right place.
Because the former Tailor Street Cellar also gave people this feeling.
The ordinaryness of a civilian neighborhood is an environmental camouflage, concealing a demon hiding in the shadows.
But finding it is difficult.
Most of the buildings in Innocence City are ancient ruins, with complex structures and dilapidated structures, and a large number of shanties.
No one can figure out how many people live inside.
Ji Xun wasn't even sure what he was going to find.
cellar?
impossible.
It is simply possible for him to inspect an entire block of tens of thousands of residential buildings on his own.
Ji Xun wanted to try his luck and see if there were "suspected believers", "secret gathering points", "mysterious symbols", or some special "religious behavior".
Thinking that the Old God Sect is an organization, if there is really a stronghold nearby, it must be exposed.
But along the way, the residents have been normal.
On the way, I found some unusual places.
But after a closer look, it turned out that it was just a small alchemy workshop for gangsters working on hallucinogens, a Lou Feng den that only did business with acquaintances, or a family gun workshop.
We also encountered a broken building with several sneaky-looking sentries, which looked like a place where small gangs of robbers and killers were hiding.
Ji Xun didn't mind his own business and continued to look for clues.
After another change of clothes and a different face, I wandered around for nearly an hour.
Because the estimated location is only an approximate location, and several nearby blocks may be within the error range, nothing is found.
Just when Ji Xun was wondering if he had guessed wrong, or if the sect had moved.
Things suddenly took a turn for the better.
It came very coincidentally.
.......
No matter in which world, in human civilization, the profession of doctor is necessary.
There are also several clinics on the Redwood Street block.
Ji Xun was walking on the street when he suddenly saw a white-painted house with "Yanbian Clinic" hanging on it.
He originally just walked over normally and glanced casually.
However, when Ji Xun saw the doctor inside clearly, he screamed in his heart: "That's the guy!"
The person sitting in this clinic is a middle-aged man in his forties, who is on the thin side.
Wearing a white coat, he looks like an ordinary community doctor.
It was this doctor who made Ji Xun know that he was in the right place.
...
After the last incident in Tailor Street, a mysterious cloaked man visited the corpse collector's dormitory in the East Fifth District.
The guy was wearing a cloak at that time, and Ji Xun didn't see his face.
But even so, he was instantly recognizable at this moment.
Forty years old, about 1.75 meters tall, wearing a pair of "Mole Leather Factory" Monk shoes, on the thin side... and has a decent job.
This was almost exactly the same as the characteristics of the guy who went to the dormitory when he judged it!
Another point.
When Ji Xun saw the corpse in the cellar, he found that the person who skinned it was very skilled and was absolutely proficient in anatomy.
At that time, he had guessed that the Old Day believer should be a profession similar to forensic medicine, butcher, leatherworker or something like that.
So pay special attention to such places along the way.
I didn't think I was lucky.
