Chapter 935 Chapter 14: Legacy
As a sword soul.
It has no fear of its enemies.
But it hates such despicable means.
Yagyu's brows were furrowed, confusion and anger flashing in his eyes, while his fingers tightly gripped the hilt of the knife, his joints creaking from the force.
He whispered to Rhea and Sherlock: "This is not just murder, it is a desecration of the dead."
Leia squatted down and carefully examined the body of the old police officer.
The body lay on the simple wooden bed, and everything around it was stained dark black with blood.
The flashlight swept back and forth across the body, illuminating the gruesome wounds.
Her voice was incredibly calm as she spoke, "It wasn't just a beheading. His wrists were also chopped off. The method was extremely brutal."
Sherlock looked around, as if looking for some clues.
She whispered excitedly, "This is different from the methods used in previous cases. This method seems more like a cover-up. I bet this old policeman was silenced."
Yagyu looked at Sherlock in confusion.
"Don't you understand? Chatting with stupid people is really tiring. Didn't you notice the watch this old policeman is wearing? He definitely can't afford that on his salary."
Liu Sheng frowned: "You mean..."
"He's been familiar with these elders in Black Spring Village for a long time. Just look at the way they greet each other. It's clear that this policeman is helping those at large in Black Spring Mountain cover up their crimes!"
Sherlock became more and more excited as she spoke, and finally she stroked her chin and tilted her head to look at Rhea.
"This incident was really interesting... I'm very satisfied, little cutie."
Rhea clenched her teeth and suppressed the urge to rush up and punch Sherlock.
Because what you hear and see now may not be true.
She had to stay calm.
Yagyu knew that they couldn't waste any more time.
So he turned to Rhea and Sherlock and said, "We must go to the real Black Spring Village immediately and find out the truth behind all this."
The wind in the forest seemed to become more biting at this moment, and the branches and leaves of the trees rustled in the wind, as if whispering ancient secrets.
The figures of the three people were stretched out in the moonlight, and their footsteps echoed in the silent forest, appearing particularly clear.
They walked through dense forests, taking every step carefully and alert to possible dangers.
The moonlight filtered through the treetops, casting patches of light on their faces, adding a touch of eerie atmosphere.
Leia looked back from time to time. She always felt that someone was watching them secretly, but every time she looked back, there was only Sherlock walking at the end and the familiar and extremely disgusting smile on her face.
Nothing.
As they went deeper into the forest, the air around them seemed to grow heavier, and an indescribable feeling of oppression enveloped them.
They soon discovered a group of stone Buddhas halfway up the mountain. These stone Buddhas were much smaller than the ones they had seen at Liudao Jizang before.
But each one looked extremely strange - their heads were missing, leaving only the headless bodies standing quietly in this desolate land.
Even more disturbing is that the fingers of these stone Buddhas all point in the same direction.
It seems to be guiding a path to the unknown.
In that direction, there is a thin, almost imperceptible path hidden, covered by dense weeds and vines. Only by careful observation can its trace be discovered.
[Remember to be careful] Li Muhan reminded everyone.
But Yagyu no longer had any patience.
Without saying anything, he drew out the long sword from his waist, and the blade flashed cold light in the air.
With a low shout from Yagyu, the long sword was swung out and a flash of sword light passed by.
It wasn't just the weeds and trees that covered the path, but also the rocks on both sides of the path were chopped into pieces, making a rumbling sound, as if the entire mountain was shaking.
Yagyu's power was fully revealed at this moment.
Something terrible happened at this moment.
All the stone Buddhas seemed to be angered by Yagyu's behavior.
They all lowered their hands and turned towards the three people.
If they still had heads, perhaps all three of them would notice the twisted and angry expressions on their faces.
"I'll go in front, and you two will follow behind me."
But Yagyu ignored the reactions of these stone Buddhas.
He didn't look back, but walked straight onto the path he had opened up. His back was stretched out in the moonlight, looking lonely and determined.
The three of them walked on the trail for a long time. Logically, they should have walked out of the trail long ago, but strangely, the trail seemed to have no end.
Just when Li Muhan was confused.
He suddenly received a text message from Mo Qiao.
[Immediately cut off the connection with Rhea's visual module! ! Quickly! ! !]
Li Muhan didn't know what was going on.
But the next second, he suddenly felt that what Leia saw had changed.
Yagyu, who was originally walking in front, suddenly stopped, and then his head turned 180 degrees and stared at Leia.
Or maybe, it was Li Muhan who was staring at Leia.
Zizizizi——
The lights in the office began to flicker.
Li Muhan stood up.
"What's going on? The Ring?"
Then I saw the screen suddenly go black.
Just then, the cell phone rang.
"Fuck, it really is The Ring!"
Li Muhan picked up the phone, but Mo Qiao's voice came from the other end.
[Li Muhan! Don't look! Don't listen! Don't think! All the abnormalities between Rhea and Sherlock!]
【It’s all your fault!!!】
"Huh?? Me? What do you mean?"
"I don't know how this person did it! But anyone who can affect Prometheus' anomaly! Anyone who can enter the data space! Besides Moriarty, there's you! All your sensory components are now connected to Rhea and Sherlock through that chip! The problem is that visual chip! Everything you think now! Will penetrate into their mechanical components and processors like an irresistible virus!"
"Simply put! Everything they're experiencing now! Is your fantasy! You gave them the prerequisites for seeing illusions! This isn't a system error! It's your right as the heir to Prometheus' greatest legacy! Someone took advantage of this and made you establish a secret agreement with Rhea and Sherlock without their consent!"
[Li Muhan! Can you still contact Leia? Tell her to remove the visual device immediately! That visual device! It's the agreement!]
Li Muhan began to operate the keyboard, but he could not contact Leia either through messages or calls.
[Li Muhan! No matter what you see now! Don't think about it anymore! !]
“It’s too late…”
A hand gently hugged Li Muhan's neck from behind.
Then an extremely familiar voice sounded in Li Muhan's ears.
"Honey, I'm back."
Moriarty ． ． ． ． ．
Li Muhan took a breath of cold air.
[Don’t listen!! Li Muhan, no…]
The call was disconnected and Li Muhan felt that his body was unable to move.
He could only stare at the dark screen.
And the reflection on the screen.
In the reflection, he clearly saw that the person who was holding him from behind was Moriarty.
