As the pool of blood spread, pale and terrified corpses appeared before Lin Qiye's eyes.
Corpses are not living things and can be recorded by Black Eyed's [Voyeur].
After everyone in the mansion was slaughtered, the three-finger footprint walked out of the door and circled around the house, as if looking for something.
Finally, it found Li Jianbai lying beside the ditch and instantly chopped off his neck. The next moment, Li Jianbai's body appeared in front of Lin Qiye's eyes.
After doing all this, the footprint sank slightly and never moved again.
Lin Qiye frowned and looked up at the sky.
The monster has the ability to fly. Once it rises into the sky, it will not leave any trace. Even Hei Tong cannot track its whereabouts.
Lin Qiye sighed, sent Hei Tong back to the hospital, and the current scene returned to his eyes.
"How is it?" Baili Pangpang and others asked when they saw Lin Qiye open his eyes.
"It's not a human being. It's a 'mysterious' creature with three fingers on its feet and the ability to fly. It flew here from the sky, and after killing people, it also flew away. I can't track it." Lin Qiye said truthfully.
"'mystery'?"
Hearing these two words, Shi Wenxuan frowned.
"Is there any problem?" Lin Qiye asked.
After Shi Wenxuan pondered for a moment, he sighed and said, "To be honest, there hasn't been a 'mystery' in Linjiang City for nearly four years..."
"Four years?" An Qingyu asked in surprise. "How is this possible? The arrival of the 'mystery' is related to the density of people. Even in the remote Anta County, there is an 'mystery' invasion every year. Linjiang City is a second-tier city, how could there be no 'mystery'?"
"I don't know either." Shi Wenxuan smiled bitterly, "I have been a night watchman here for more than three years, and I really haven't seen even a shadow of 'Mystery'.
Sometimes I wonder to myself, if there is no "mystery" in this city, then what is the meaning of our existence as night watchmen? I have applied to my superiors for transfer several times, but they always asked me to stay, just in case. "
"Is this what Commander Zuo said, the strangeness in Linjiang City?" Lin Qiye thought, "No 'mysterious' has appeared in four years, which is indeed very suspicious."
Four years...
Why does this time seem so familiar?
Lin Qiye recalled the fire that the children mentioned at Hanshan Orphanage last night. It seemed that it also happened four years ago?
Is it a coincidence? Or...
"What should we do now?" Jiang Er asked while floating in the air, "We only know that the one who wiped out the entire Li family was a flying 'mysterious', but how should we find it?"
"Now, the only way is to conduct a carpet search." Cao Yuan said, "The 'mysterious' beast was the one that slaughtered the Li family manor last night. It should not have left Linjiang City yet. With Qiye's mental perception and Qingyu's rat tide, it is only a matter of time to find it."
"In that case, let's split up and look for other clues."
After some discussion, the few of them split up and searched for the "mysterious" whereabouts in Linjiang City. An Qingyu was about to leave to spread the "fish species" but found that Lin Qiye was still standing there in a daze.
"What are you thinking about?" An Qingyu walked forward.
Lin Qiye looked at the ditch where Li Jianbai's body was and pondered for a moment:
"I think... this incident may not be as simple as a 'mysterious' invasion."
"Why?"
"Because, that 'mysterious' is looking for him." Lin Qiye stretched out his hand and pointed to the ditch.
"Li Jianbai?" An Qingyu was stunned. "What do you mean?"
"After that 'mysterious' creature dropped from the sky, it killed everyone in the mansion. It did not leave immediately, but instead wandered around the mansion, as if it was looking for something...
It waited until it found Li Jianbai and killed him before flying away from the scene.
In other words, Li Jianbai was its target from the very beginning?
But this doesn't make sense. If it was just a random 'mystery', why did it have to find Li Jianbai and kill him? If we dig deeper, why did this 'mystery' choose to kill people in Li's manor instead of somewhere else?"
Lin Qiye's words made An Qingyu frown.
"You mean... there is someone behind this 'mysterious' thing? His target was originally Li Jianbai and this Li's Manor?"
"It's possible." Lin Qiye thought for a moment.
"Anyway, you first set up a rat tide in Linjiang City and try to search for that 'mysterious' creature. I'll be out for a while."
"Where are you going?"
"Hanshan Orphanage."
…
Hanshan Orphanage.
Squeak——!
The old iron gate was slowly pushed open, and a young boy in a blue and white school uniform, carrying a schoolbag, walked in from outside the door.
It was raining heavily, so heavily that the sky and the earth were covered with fog, but the boy did not hold an umbrella. The rain dripped down his black hair and onto his wet school uniform, but his expression did not change at all, and his deep eyes were as calm as the abyss.
He walked across the yard and stood in front of Old Man Liu's office. Water droplets flowed down his clothes and fell onto the gray-black ground, quickly condensing into a water stain.
At this moment, Old Man Liu was sitting at the table with his back to him, staring at the five bank cards on the table in a daze.
"Grandpa Liu." The young man suddenly spoke in a deep voice.
In the dim office, Old Man Liu turned his head suddenly as if he was startled.
When he saw the wet Wuquan at the door, he immediately stood up and hurried towards him: "Xiaoquan? How did you get soaked like this? Didn't I put an umbrella in your schoolbag this morning?"
Old Liu quickly helped him take off his wet school uniform, fearing that he would catch a cold. Wu Quan didn't seem to care at all. He just looked into Old Liu's eyes quietly.
“Grandpa Liu, we don’t need to move, the Li Group has disappeared, and no one will come to cause trouble in the future.
We can live here peacefully and wait for Brother Qingzhu to come back...
Never separate."
"Disappeared?" Old Man Liu was startled, then nodded, "I knew it this morning. We won't move away."
Hearing this, Wu Quan's expression finally relaxed a little, and his eyes fell on the five bank cards on the table.
“Where did these cards come from?”
"Oh, it was given to you by your brother Qingzhu's comrades before they left."
"They?" Wu Quan was stunned, and the faces of Lin Qiye and others appeared in his mind, "What do they want these things for?"
"……have no idea."
Old Liu sighed.
In the dim office, the only sound left was the sound of rain hitting the window. After a long while, Old Man Liu murmured:
"Little Shen...nothing will happen to you, right?"
Wuquan's eyes suddenly narrowed.
KACH——!!!
A ferocious bolt of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky.
“Impossible!!” Wu Quan subconsciously took a half step back, his silent black eyes showing unprecedented emotional fluctuations, “Brother Qingzhu will be fine… He will be fine!”
