Chapter 230 249. The Murderer

Following the guide, Xu Zhi walked through the gaps between the tents and the soldiers coming and going, and came to the tent in the center of the camp.

This tent should be the largest one. Xu Zhi didn't know how it was built. It didn't look like a tent, but more like a simpler house. The weather on the ground floor was overcast, but after opening the door and walking in, the light in the room was quite sufficient.

When the door was opened, everyone in the room looked towards the door. When they saw that the person coming in was a completely unfamiliar girl, who was even in a wheelchair, many people showed puzzled expressions, but no one asked anything. These people in uniforms were sitting around a round table. A certain picture was being played in the center of the table, which looked like a real-time live broadcast.

The content of the picture is a group of soldiers armed with live ammunition attacking a certain place. Occasionally, some soldiers with slightly different uniforms flash by, but they are not holding guns in their hands. Xu Zhi guessed that these soldiers with different uniforms might be extraordinary people.

Deploying such a large force to deal with a serial killer is prudent.

The female officer who first came into contact with Xu Zhi pointed to a location behind the round table. There were also many people sitting there, who seemed to have lower status than those sitting at the round table. Xu Zhi was pushed next to them and occupied an inconspicuous position.

The room was silent most of the time, except for the occasional discussion among the people at the round table as the picture progressed.

Xu Zhi could sense that even though everyone seemed to be focusing on the live broadcast on the screen, there were still some scrutinizing eyes subtly falling on her.

Do you want to see if she reacts to the live broadcast?

Xu Zhi didn't care. She just focused on watching the live broadcast. She was also curious about the true identity of the "murderer", and she did not hide this curiosity at all.

Judging from the picture, this seems to be not far from the slums where they live, probably between the nearest factory and the slums. There are some sheds built on the roadside, or people live in huge pipes piled up on the roadside by factories. Basically, the people living here are the lower class who are unwilling to work or work hard to scavenge, and are completely broke.

This is arguably the dirtiest and most degenerate area at the bottom of society. Compared to here, the slums where Qi Yanxin lives are considered well-organized.

People more often call this place the "rat hole".

As the soldiers in the live broadcast advanced step by step, Xu Zhi saw many skinny scavengers lying casually on the roadside. Most of them had an absurd calm expression. They watched coldly as these soldiers who had almost never appeared here passed by them, and they did not feel curious about it. It seemed that no matter what happened, it would no longer arouse their desire.

Xu Zhi was thinking, what’s the difference between these people being alive and dead?

Soon, the soldiers in the picture locked onto a house, surrounded it, and then kicked the door open without any hesitation.

The weather on the ground floor has been bad, the streets are already dark, and it is even more like night in this windowless room. The tactical flashlight on the helmet can bring some light to the dark room, but there are still some dark corners that are not illuminated.

At the moment when the invading personnel entered the room one after another, in a flash, a black and red blade stretched out from the darkness and pierced straight through the extremely defensive combat uniform. The moment it came into contact with flesh and blood, the red lines on the blade flickered slightly, and the blood in the combatants' bodies flowed rapidly. The next moment, when countless bullets were fired in this direction, the knife had been quietly pulled away.

Everyone who was monitoring the raid fell silent, even Xu Zhi showed a surprised expression.

Of course, others were surprised by the sword that suddenly stretched out from the darkness, seemingly light but directly pierced the commando's body, while Xu Zhi was surprised that the knife looked so familiar.

Isn't this her knife? !

"There are actually people at the bottom with such good skills?"

Someone asked this question at the round table.

"There's something wrong with that knife. As for the person, if he's really that skilled, why would he live in a place like this and wait to die?"

The female officer's voice rang out: "I'm afraid he had some adventure during this time."

Xu Zhi thought of the factory absenteeism incident that Qi Yanxin had told her. Others didn’t know, but Xu Zhi knew that this knife had “growth potential”. Not only the knife itself, but also the person holding the knife would be affected by the knife.

Judging from the geographical location where this person lives, I'm afraid those who skipped work were also killed by him on their way to or from get off work.

As he killed more and more people, the knife had a deeper and deeper impact on him, and he eventually became a complete captive of the knife. Now it should be the knife that is using the person, rather than the person using the knife.

Xu Zhi didn't believe that a person living in such a place could have strong enough willpower to suppress the evil nature of this knife.

Now, he should not be considered an ordinary person. People who are contaminated by the knife will probably degenerate into believers of the [Cup].

And he should be the lowest type. After all, from his behavior, we can see that his IQ is not high.

Now that such a big commotion has occurred, he still doesn't know how to run away. Even after being surrounded, he still wants to kill people. How can I put it? Xu Zhi feels like he is seeing an "acquaintance". This familiar feeling has been missing for a long time.

Since coming to this world, Xu Zhi has not heard any news about the [Cup]. Considering the currently known information, the Federation is a prison created by the Supreme Being to imprison the [Cup], but it imprisoned the wrong person. Perhaps the outside world does not know this news yet?

So in their eyes, there shouldn't be many extraordinary people with the [Cup] attribute in this world now.

No one knows where the true supreme being is hiding now, plotting his plans, but today it is clear that this murderer is going to give the people in the real world a little shock with his [Cup] attribute.

A flare was thrown into the dark house. The raiders were wearing goggles and it had no effect, except for the murderer who had been hiding and watching in the darkness.

The moment the bright light of the flare hit them, a hoarse and unpleasant scream came from the mouth of someone in the corner.

The moment they saw his "true face", the commandos present and the people who were monitoring the assault showed surprise. Can this person still be considered a "human"?

He had no hair, as if all of it had fallen out. He looked to be quite tall, but his hunched back made it impossible to tell his exact height. He was terribly thin, with bones clearly visible at every joint. His body seemed to be covered in old dirt and dried blood, turning his body into a dirty black mass.

The weird thing was that even his eyeballs were black. The only difference in color was probably the red blood vessels that appeared to be about to burst and appeared on his abnormally large head.

And what he held in his hand was the black and red sword.

I went back to the countryside and got home very late. I am working hard on typing, trying to finish the next chapter as soon as possible. My perfect attendance!!! I don’t want to use my leave application at the beginning of the month to make up for my full attendance!!
