Chen Luo discovered he could scavenge the minds of the dead.
So he went to a graveyard and scavenge the brain of a deceased Great Emperor, figuring he’d borrow it for a bit.
While other...
night.
The basketball court was silent after the lights were turned off.
Boom boom boom.
In the darkness, strange knocking sounds were heard, like some special rhythm.
In the center of the court, a figure in a black robe was half-crouching on the ground. He was holding a round ball in his hand, hammering the ground non-stop at a certain frequency. Not far away, two girls were lying on the ground. They were unconscious. A circle was drawn on the ground around them with blood, and eight strange symbols were hooked in the corner.
It is a sacrificial language.
"Eternal and great God of Dreams, immortal creator, your faithful believers pray to you and offer sacrifices to you"
The man in black robes pounded the ground and prayed.
"Captain, there is only one person."
A black-haired girl said respectfully on the roof of the teaching building not far from the shadow. This girl's name was Mu Xiaoyu, and she was Chen Luo's subordinate after he joined the Night Affairs Bureau. The other person was named Ao Ye, and he was a slacker in the team.
The world in the inner demon calamity is a projection of reality.
It comes from the heart.
If it was Chen Luo four years ago, he would definitely think of his two disciples, Mu Xiaoyu and Ao Ye, but now he has completely integrated into this place, and the calamity energy in his body has made him forget many things. Now he has completely integrated into this place.
"It's possible that they are spies sent out by the cult to test us."
Ao Ye said from the side.
They have handled many similar cult cases. At the beginning, they were very angry, but after a long time, they became numb. There are often big figures behind such cases. Cults do not exist alone. Behind powerful cults are people from the parliament, and behind smaller ones are local officials, while the more powerful ones can even reach the top.
It is precisely because of this that cult cases are so troublesome.
Cults are difficult to eradicate in human society, not because they cannot be killed, but because there are people in power who do not want cults to disappear.
The Night Affairs Bureau is responsible for this kind of dirty work. When this department was first established, it had only one goal: to cut off the connection between nightmares and humans. Whoever is behind this will be killed. This kind of departmental attribute is destined to make the Night Affairs Bureau unpopular.
This is a department that does the dirty work.
"I suggest that we wait and see, and not act rashly." Ao Ye glanced at the captain standing on the rooftop and couldn't help but speak up to remind him.
"Captain, let me go."
Mu Xiaoyu didn’t think as much as Ao Ye did. During the time she followed Chen Luo, she had completely turned to the captain.
In Mu Xiaoyu's view, right is right and wrong is wrong. Ao Ye is the type of person she hates and despises the most. When encountering a problem, the first thing he thinks about is not to solve it, but to weigh the pros and cons. He is always hesitant and indecisive in doing anything.
The sacrifice is still going on below.
Chen Luo ignored them, his eyes fell on the two girls below. Chen Luo himself did not expect to meet Su Linlin again under such circumstances. Unlike Chen Luo, Su Linlin chose to continue her studies after graduating from university and stayed in school.
The two lost contact after that.
After leaving campus, all the relationships became distant. It’s not that we don’t want to keep in touch, but that we all have our own lives.
The cultist stopped his actions and finished the sacrificial words. The sacrificial process was in the second half. He reached into his sleeve and took out a dagger with a cold glow from the wide black cuffs. Under the moonlight, the fierce face of the man in black robe was reflected. He grabbed the dagger and stabbed it fiercely into the heart of the girl next to him.
Sacrifices must involve blood.
Human life is the best!
This is what the leader taught him. As long as he completes this step, he will be considered an official member and can enter the "dream"! At that time, the syphilis that has plagued him will be eradicated, his impotent brother will be reborn, and he can enjoy life again.
"team leader!"
Mu Xiaoyu took a step forward and placed his right hand on the pistol.
"What are you doing? We don't know the situation right now. You'll only alert the enemy if you do this."
"Shut up, you bastard!"
The two people who were talking felt a flash before their eyes, and Chen Luo, who was standing on the high platform before, disappeared out of thin air. The two were startled and immediately stopped talking, and their eyes quickly looked down at the court below.
Bang!
A figure dropped from the sky and stepped on the cultist's forehead.
With a crisp sound, his arm broke apart, and the part below the elbow twisted irregularly backwards, his legs bent, and he fell to the ground. No one knew where the dagger in his hand flew to.
"ah!!"
A shrill scream cut through the sky.
Mu Xiaoyu and Ao Ye were startled when they heard the sound and rushed down as fast as they could, with the scene just now constantly echoing in their minds.
That’s the eighth floor!
The captain actually jumped directly from the eighth floor.
The Night Bureau normally uses guns for duty. As official members of the Night Bureau, Mu Xiaoyu and Ao Ye both carry guns. They chose the roof of the teaching building because it has a good view and can solve any problems with guns, giving them the upper hand. When handling cases in the past, Chen Luo used guns like them, but this time he did it in this way, which really surprised the two of them.
"My father is Du Jiang!"
When the two of them arrived at the stadium, they found that the cultist had all his limbs broken by Chen Luo, and he was lying on the ground like a dead dog.
This is a young man with a pale face.
His body was thin, his eye sockets were sunken, and his lips were black, just like a patient in the late stage of a serious illness. This person was stepped on by Chen Luo, but instead of being afraid, he looked at Chen Luo with hatred.
He has memorized this face.
As long as tonight passes, tomorrow he will use his family connections to make this person's life a living hell! He has already thought of a way to retaliate. First, he will get rid of this person's position as captain, then find someone to break his hands and feet, and sacrifice his parents in front of him. If he has female relatives, it will be even better.
Thinking of this, the young man licked his lips morbidly.
I even forgot the pain in my hands and feet.
"Who is Du Jiang?"
Chen Luo asked.
When Ao Ye heard the name, his expression became obviously hesitant. He glanced at the sick man on the ground and spoke in a low voice.
"We are the councillors of Rongcheng."
Mu Xiaoyu was also shocked.
This is no small figure. In Rongcheng, the councillor is the highest authority. His words are often more effective than the laws in Rongcheng. Even the family of this kind of person has joined the cult, so you can imagine the above situation.
The erosion of nightmares is more serious than expected. No wonder the people above set up the Night Affairs Bureau, trying to use this sharp knife to solve the dilemma.
It’s a pity that as of now, the Night Affairs Bureau can’t save them.
As long as people have interests, they will weigh their interests. The intention of establishing the Night Affairs Bureau was good, but the law enforcers are people like them.
"Haha! You black dogs even dare to meddle in my affairs! And you, you even dare to break my hands and feet, I will definitely take revenge! Just wait! I will make you live a life worse than death." Seeing the expression on Ao Ye's face, the young man knew that he was safe.
He has committed many crimes over the years, but as long as he tells his father's name, these people will let him go and even help him persuade the victims.
Again and again.
He had long been accustomed to this, accustomed to the humility of these people.
"Captain, we must be patient when we need to be patient. This case is beyond our capabilities."
Seeing that Chen Luo didn't say anything, Ao Ye thought he was embarrassed, so he immediately stepped forward and added a sentence. Even Mu Xiaoyu didn't say anything. The identity of a councillor was too special. If she offended such a person, she and the family behind her would be in trouble, and even death would occur in serious cases.
People do not exist alone, everyone has weaknesses.
The same goes for Mu Xiaoyu.
"Tolerate?"
Chen Luo came back to his senses. He felt a strange force just now.
This force acted on him and influenced his choices.
It seemed that every step he took next would affect his own destiny. A long-lost voice appeared in his mind, reminding him to choose carefully.
The person under your feet is the choice this time.
kill.
Or release it?
Phew!
Chen Luo didn't hesitate at all and broke the neck of the man below with one foot. The cultist who was laughing crazily stopped abruptly, his eyes widened, his head rolled out, and hit the golf club beside him, his eyes just facing Chen Luo.
There were countless doubts in his mind, as if he was asking Chen Luo, and as if he was asking himself.
Why?
Why dare you do it?
In his memory, things shouldn't have turned out this way.
It’s a pity that his doubt is destined to remain unanswered.
"You are forbearing because you are not strong enough. If you were strong enough, there would be nothing in this world that would require you to be forbearing."
After killing someone, Chen Luo didn't even look at the head in the distance. He walked over and helped Su Linlin up. An unprecedented sense of pleasure appeared in his heart, and a strange power acted on his body. Outside, the aura of the body sitting cross-legged in the tomb rose a lot, and at the same time, a ball of black fire unique to the Heart Demon Tribulation emerged from his body. As soon as this ball of black fire emerged, it was absorbed by the body of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor sitting next to Chen Luo. After jumping twice, there was no movement.
Dead?
This is the son of a congressman.
Ao Ye only felt that the matter had gotten out of hand, and the most important thing was that he was one of the participants. The congressman would not care about these details. Once the news got back, none of the three of them would have a good ending. Even the Night Affairs Bureau could not save them.
The people above gave the Night Affairs Bureau the power to handle special matters, and the people below also had ways to make these people "die in the line of duty."
The game of power is never on the surface.
"I'll take care of the rest." Chen Luo waved to the two of them.
He knew the consequences, but it was absolutely impossible for him to go against his conscience because of this matter. He didn't think a councillor could do anything to him. Changqing Laodao had been in charge of Rongcheng for so many years, and he couldn't even handle such a small matter. Wouldn't it be a waste for him to be his master?
After sending Su Linlin and the other woman back to school, Chen Luo turned around and left the campus.
Before he left, he also left a mark on Su Linlin, a mark exactly the same as Bai Xiaochuan's (End of this chapter)
