"Can we trust that group of businessmen?" Xie Chongyue asked in a rather tactful way, and it seemed that he wanted to directly say that they were weird and unreliable.
This is understandable. It was his first time entering the strange domain, and he could only feel danger, chaos and disorder towards the strange things in it. Therefore, he felt uneasy about the special investigation team's inexplicable trust in the strange merchant.
"It doesn't matter. Whether it's a strange place or a strange domain, they all adhere to the rules." Fang An said: "To them, the rules are supreme."
"The Special Investigation Bureau houses many strange creatures. The principle is to control them by using countervailing and opposing rules." Du Yan drew the soft sword from her waist and demonstrated it. "This is a strange object made from a strange creature. The rules in my body are stronger than its own, so I can control it."
Xie Chongyue frowned when he heard this. It was a bunch of unreasonable things, but if he wanted to survive in here, he couldn't take it lightly.
"Don't worry, it takes a long time for a living person to turn into something strange. The rate of contamination is very slow."
Gao Xingyi thought that he was frightened by the corpse hanging on the tree not long ago, and had developed a disgust for things related to the strange domain, so he comforted him.
"After returning to reality and resting for a month or two, the pollution in my body no longer had a source, so it slowly dissipated."
This is why Xia Nation is still organizing people to enter the Weird Domain. The strange creatures and strange items that have been taken in over the years have also ensured that Xia Nation is not completely without countermeasures and measures against the Weird Domain.
"I think we should consider going back." Liu Zhao checked his watch and said, "We originally thought there might be clues about Xu Shiqing at the place where he disappeared, but now it seems the original location doesn't hold much appeal for him."
Humans have no idea how strange things are formed. However, based on the strange things that Xia Nation has encountered so far, it speculates that they can be divided into two categories based on the conditions of their birth.
One type is because after death due to various reasons, due to the interference of unknown factors, it becomes strange. This type of strange rules is related to their death process.
One type is when a living person lives in a strange area for too long, and their body gradually assimilates into the environment, eventually becoming strange. This type of strangeness has no rules at all and is affected by factors such as the environment, pollution sources, and personal factors.
These monsters will not go anywhere else casually, because the place where they were born is the most suitable place for them to grow. After all, the operation of rules is not as simple as more or less. The existence of two conflicting rules at the same time will lead to conflicts.
Therefore, Xu Shiqing's ability to leave the starting point at least proves one thing: the rules on him are harmless in the broadest sense in the strange domain.
Xie Chongyue frowned subconsciously, he was worried that Xu Shiqing would be bullied by other monsters.
"Let's go." Gao Xingyi patted his shoulder. In fact, they retreated much earlier than usual this time, and it was only because of the father and brother behind the young master in front of them.
Xie Chongyue got involved because he knew Xu Shiqing, and the mall was where his former captain disappeared - when he disappeared, Xu Shiqing was handling a robbery at the scene.
This incident caused a very bad reaction at the time. The scene was controlled by the military at the time, and Xie Chongyue ran home. It is said that he had a quarrel and never returned to the Xie family home.
The situation in the Ghost Realm has become increasingly severe over the years. Gao Xingyi thought to himself, but this is a chaotic world. If I can keep it secret and protect it, I will just hold on for a while longer.
As a descendant of the Xie family, Xie Chongyue is destined to come into contact with the world one day, whether it is the glory of three generations of his family serving in the army or the police uniform he is wearing at the moment.
What's more, his father and brother are not completely ignorant of the strange domain.
Xie Chongyue subconsciously pressed his chest. There was a bulge under his clothes, which was a safety lock.
The special investigation team was already heading towards the exit, and he had no choice but to follow them.
For some reason, when the end came, Xie Chongyue looked behind him and saw the setting sun as red as blood.
He thought, not at all compatible with that person.
ยท
Six years ago, in March.
"Xu Shiqing!" Xie Chongyue growled, "Why did you stop the evidence I submitted?"
The man whose arm was grabbed seemed to be getting angry too. He swung his arm and pushed the man's hand away. His tone was cold but furious. "Okay! Then tell me! How did you get the blood sample evidence that even the evidence collection team couldn't get?"
"You think I can't see that?!"
He grabbed Xie Chongyue by the collar, his back teeth clenched tightly. "You're committing perjury! Do you know that if we're caught in court, our entire chain of evidence will be overturned?!"
Xie Chongyue was stunned on the spot by those eyes that looked like magma surging under an icy lake.
"We are the police!" Xu Shiqing's voice slowed down, as if the brief outburst just now was just an illusion of Xie Chongyue: "Precisely because we wear this uniform and hold power, we must not abuse it."
"Xie Chongyue, do you understand?"
"...But." Xie Chongyue was silent for a moment before asking, "What if we don't do this, the murderer won't be brought to justice?"
"That child is only seven years old!"
Xu Shiqing's eyelashes trembled, like a butterfly about to escape from a spider web.
But his eyes were like a lake, without any wind blowing and without any ripples.
"He will be brought to justice, as long as we work together."
The brightest moonlight in Shengjing City lowered its eyes, like a weeping sculpture, and the oath was carved from rock. His heart and the blue on his body never faded, just like his soul shining under the red flag.
"If he committed a crime, there must be traces left behind," he said. "We just haven't found the key clues to get to the bottom of it."
But not every effort will be rewarded, and not every truth will come as promised.
