"Your name is Xu Shang?"
In the noisy streets, ambulances honked and hurriedly took Su Qiu away.
There were still many onlookers talking about it.
But the bald middle-aged man who was originally staying next to Su Qiu was stopped by Su Mo and asked directly.
"Yes, it's me, what's wrong?"
Xu Shang looked at Su Mo with wandering eyes.
Originally a well-spoken sales executive, when he met a stranger like Su Mo, he could deal with it calmly even if he had a ulterior motive in his heart.
Talking about people and talking about ghosts is exactly what he is good at.
However, when facing Su Mo at this moment, he was obviously dressed like an ordinary delivery boy, but those eyes gave him an unprecedented sense of oppression, so that he could not lie face to face and could only tell the secrets in his heart.
"Is this necklace a gift from you?"
Su Mo took out the necklace that looked valuable.
Xu Shang's face twitched and he whispered:
"I sent it."
"Why?"
There was a struggling expression on his face, and he tried his best to clear the relationship, but in the end he still had to say:
"I fell in love with her, but she didn't like me. Later, when I was shopping, I happened to see this necklace in a store. I was attracted at first sight. The store owner told me that as long as I bought this necklace and gave it to others, I could make the other person like me, and then I spent a thousand yuan to buy it, and then gave it to Su Qiu."
Su Mo couldn't help but reveal a hint of sarcasm in his eyes as he listened.
According to Xu Shang, this necklace can be described as a magical treasure.
But where in the world can there be so many pies?
Even strange things with unique effects often have considerable side effects.
Not to mention, this thing is just a piece of filth!
After investigation, Su Mo has discovered that the silver coins in the necklace have a sinister aura.
This smell was similar to the one found in the funeral home before, but it was different. It seemed to belong to two different objects.
Recalling the explanations given by Song Ruyuan and him before, he could roughly judge that this should be the evil energy coming from some disaster beast or evil spirit.
If this kind of white evil energy comes into contact with the human body for too long, it can cause people to gradually become alienated.
This alienation is at the mental level at first and is not noticeable, but as time goes by, it gradually deepens and gradually spreads to the body.
By then, the whole person will completely turn into a monster.
As for Xu Shang, although he was able to gain considerable closeness from the other party by virtue of his initial giving, in the end, he would only become the other party's food.
Su Mo pondered for a moment, then asked:
"Where is that store?"
Xu Shang muttered:
"Xingcan Jewelry Store on the first floor of Xinglong Commercial Building."
…
Xinglong Commercial Building.
At this point, there are very few customers coming to the shopping mall for shopping.
Most of the stores began to close one after another, and employees also got off work.
Fortunately, the store Su Mo was looking for was still open.
This is a jewelry store with a fantasy and mysterious decoration style.
The entire store covers an area of approximately 300 square meters.
The walls inside are painted with cyan decorative paintings, and combined with some green plants around it, it looks like you are in a jungle.
In this jungle, many branches are covered with sparkling ornaments, giving people a strange and mysterious feeling.
Su Mo's mental power instantly swept across the entire store, and his eyes immediately fell on the watch hanging on a bush in the northwest corner.
The watch has a red case and a black bracelet. The dial is clean, with nothing else except the hands and scales. It looks very simple, but the most unique thing is that there is no power spring in the watch. It was a small silver coin, which looked exactly like the silver coin in the previous necklace.
The difference is that there is no face on the back of this silver coin, but it is flat.
Su Mo was quite surprised that this shop openly sold such filthy items.
While he was observing, the female store manager wearing a small vest and a catfish haircut had already walked closer and asked:
"Sir, you have such a good eye, you actually spotted our store's treasure at a glance!"
Listening to her warm greeting, Su Mo had no intention of wasting time on her, so he immediately mobilized his mental power and, with a slight shock, began to inquire about information related to the watch from him.
Because he discovered that this female store manager is also an ordinary person like Xu Shang before.
But it is impossible for ordinary people to sell such filth twice in a row. There must be a deeper reason behind this.
"I bought this watch from a small shop on Nanman Road, and many other accessories were also bought from that shop."
Nanman Road?
A ray of light flashed in Su Mo's eyes.
He clearly knew that there was a wholesale market on Nanman Road where he could buy many small commodities at low prices.
If all these accessories came in from there, maybe that was the source he was looking for.
…
Qingshang Road.
Ming jewelry store.
Even though it was almost ten o'clock at night, the lights were still on at this moment.
Su Mo stepped into the shop and raised his brows slightly.
Originally, he thought he would be able to find the source of the filth shipment in a few clicks.
Unexpectedly, the complexity of the matter was beyond imagination.
Whether it is the jewelry store in Xinglong Commercial Building or the wholesale shop on Nanman Road, they are just transfer points and do not really involve the source.
It can also be seen from this that the involvement of this matter is extensive. There are as many as a dozen intermediate links, involving many sales chains. If all the filth associated with these chains were added together, there would probably be hundreds of items. .
This means that hundreds of people may be affected by the filth and transformed into weird species.
No, it's not possible. Under the premise that the spiritual tide is about to come, those people will inevitably become uncontrollable monsters.
Compared with the advancement of spiritual power, this kind of alienation of body and mind is extremely simple. It can be easily achieved by simply holding filth related to evil spirits.
However, no matter how little evil energy is contained in each piece of filth, hundreds of pieces plus one piece are still not a small number.
According to Su Mo's estimation, if he wanted to extract so much evil energy, he would probably have to consume a complete disaster beast or evil spirit to do it.
This reminded him of the hellhound, a disaster beast that had been suppressed by the Civil Security Bureau and the Magician Alliance.
Perhaps there is another unknown disaster beast hidden behind this incident.
So, when Nie Yutian, the president of the Joy Society, went to attack the magician alliance, his real purpose may not be to simply release the prison dogs and harm the surroundings. It is more likely that he wants to extract evil energy from the opponent, thereby further causing the disaster. Expanding, turning the entire Qinghu City into a turbulent and chaotic city.
Realizing this, Su Mo did not give up halfway. After calling the hand girl, he continued to investigate.
After eliminating many difficulties, I finally found this place.
Ming jewelry store.
This is an antique store opened in a tourist area.
The store displays folding fans, Buddhist beads, jade pendants, calligraphy and paintings and other antiques.
Of course, these antiques have a lot of long history.
In fact, most of them are fake and can be wholesaled at any time.
In addition, there are several of the strange silver coins that were found in the necklace before. They are also placed on the counter at the moment. It is said that they are ancient coins that have been collected with great difficulty. If one is sold, one will be missing.
But Su Mo clearly discovered through his mental power that there was a box of similar silver coins piled up in the warehouse behind the counter, with as many as hundreds of them.
Moreover, these hundreds of silver coins are all stained with white evil energy. It is obvious that they were found in a certain place.
If nothing else, this is probably the sales point closest to the source.
Su Mo didn't delay too much. While the store was still closed, he quickly found the store manager, a very elegant old man wearing a red Tang suit and holding a folding fan in hand.
After the explanation from this elegant old man, he said that all the silver coins were dug out of an ancient tomb in the suburbs.
After Su Mo heard this, he immediately took the store manager and rushed to the suburbs.
Relying on the store manager's guidance, he finally found the location of the ancient tomb after about a quarter of an hour.
However, what made Su Mo look embarrassed was that no matter how he used his mental power to check, there was no trace of any grave in that place.
It was just a wilderness.
Even if he finally forcibly opened up the entire land, he could not find any trace.
It was as if he had been deceived by the store manager.
But how could he lie under the threat of mental power?
For a moment, Su Mo couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
…
Beixuan Road.
Under the dim yellow street lights.
There was a rustling sound in the nearby grass that was half a man tall.
From time to time, some figures can be seen emerging from it.
After a while, a fusion person asked with complaint:
"Captain Xu, how long will we continue to investigate here? It's almost night, so we have to find a place to rest first, right?"
Among the crowd, Xu Zongqi, one of the three leaders of the Peace House, was looking everywhere carefully and replied calmly:
"Don't be in a hurry to take a break. If we can find the root of the crisis today and solve the accident that happened at Glow Cinema, think about how many people can be saved?"
"But even if you save people, you have to maintain your own condition first. Because of what happened at the Glow Cinema, everyone has been so busy these two days that they have no time to rest. In addition, the headquarters was attacked just before, so I He said that the alert should be withdrawn now, and the matters at the cinema should be handed over to the Civil Security Bureau. Anyway, they are an official organization and should solve this vicious incident."
Listening to the mutterings of his subordinates, Xu Zongqi said without looking back:
“There are also a lot of things going on at the Civil Security Bureau, and it’s not as easy as you think.
Moreover, as the two officially designated forces, we have already decided on cooperation matters, so we should help to maintain the corresponding order.
Don’t forget, after our organization was attacked previously, the Civil Security Bureau provided a lot of help, and now it’s time for us to repay the favor.
Besides, according to [Compass of Truth]’s speculation, the accident at the cinema was related to the mastermind behind the attack on us.
Now that we can't catch the man behind the scenes, then destroying all his arrangements can be regarded as revenge for the dead brothers. How can we shirk it? "
After hearing this, even a few resentful subordinates had to put away their slack thoughts and seize the time to search the bushes.
Xu Zongqi stood up straight and looked into the distance.
Everywhere he could see was grass that was as tall as half a man, and there seemed to be nothing special about it at all.
According to the instructions of [Compass of Truth], they found out the hidden problems of Glow Cinema. From the 3D glasses in the cinema, they found that many glasses were fused with evil energy.
Under normal circumstances, evil energy, as the source of disaster beasts or evil spirits, is of extremely high quality. It is not easy for ordinary people, even practitioners, to fuse it with it.
The greatest possibility of forced fusion is to be alienated on the spot and die suddenly.
If you want to delay this alienation and enable it to carry and exert the evil energy to a certain extent, you need to choose a fusion person with higher suitability.
This choice is very troublesome and often takes a lot of time.
But this time the arrangement of the man behind the scenes seemed very clever. According to their investigation, the fusion of evil spirits this time was very close to the emotion of fear.
The stronger the fear, the easier it is to coalesce and become more destructive over time.
Therefore, these 3D glasses incorporating evil spirits are specially placed in the channel where horror movies are played, specifically for the use of audiences who come to watch these horror movies.
Even in order to expand the base, the cinema arranged two theaters to play various horror movies, and set the price of movie tickets at three yuan.
On the surface, it is to attract customers through open sales through activities.
Secretly, it is to gain more audiences who can integrate the evil spirit.
The most obvious evidence is that they checked the cinema manager and others, but no one knew why the cinema was doing this activity. It seemed that it should be done, just like eating and drinking.
Obviously, those people's cognitions have been modified.
After a series of inspections and evidence collection, they finally found out that the evil energy on those 3D glasses was related to the grass here.
However, after this search, which took most of a day, they still could not find the source of the evil spirit. It seemed that there was some kind of error in their verification process.
Xu Zongqi once doubted whether the source of evil energy was really not here.
After all, they have searched this desolate place several times, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have scratched the ground.
If there really was any evil source hidden here, even if it was just a residual clue, it would have been found long ago.
But now there is nothing.
After being shaken for a moment, Xu Zongqi regained his confidence.
In any case, all the clues point here. At worst, if we search for two more days, if there is no news, the entire land will be leveled. I don't believe that no problem can be found.
Xu Zongqi felt furious and continued to search.
At this moment, a shadow streaked across the deep night sky, falling towards this side at a very fast speed.
