Chapter 30 Detective Isabel
The population growth in the simulator improved Lu Yao's perception. He was able to capture details that he had never noticed in the past, and most of the unusual things were concentrated on Yao alone.
Yu Yao never spoke to Lu Yao, and Zhou Qiang explained it as being introverted.
She always cooked in the middle of the night and hummed strange little tunes in the kitchen.
Yu Yao always had a bloody smell on her body, which was usually very light, indicating that she had deliberately cleaned the traces on her body. But the smell of blood in her mouth was the heaviest and the hardest to get rid of.
The smell of blood not only appeared on her body, but also in the kitchen sink, bathroom, and even in the garbage bags in the living room. These are all related to Yu Yao's personal trajectory.
Zhou Qiang didn't find anything unusual.
Lu Yao felt that there was an indescribable strange aura about Yu Yao, but he couldn't tell what it was.
Moreover, he felt it was dangerous to investigate further on his own.
So Lu Yao decided to let the professionals do it.
There is no evidence or proof of crime in this case, so it is not convenient to trouble the police.
Following a simple one-button summoning ceremony on the computer, Isabel knelt on the computer desk again.
"My Lord God, Isabel comes here to follow your will."
Unlike the last time when she was flustered and nervous, the apostle girl was much calmer this time.
"There's a suspicious person right now. She's going out to see a movie with a friend of mine. It'll take about two and a half hours, so I asked you to come over..."
Lu Yao told her what had happened.
"This is the situation. Find out where she came from."
"Yes, sir."
After saying that, Isabel began to change her clothes according to Lu Yao's request.
Lu Yao consciously walked outside and said through the door: "My perception ability has improved significantly recently. Is the feedback from population growth so fast?"
Isabel's voice came from inside: "My Lord. For the gods in the higher dimension, the population of the lower dimension is the gods' second body, and faith is the extension of the gods' power to the outside world."
Lu Yao asked her: "What would happen if the population was zero?"
"My Lord, even if the temple of the gods is completely destroyed, it will be difficult for the believers to be completely exterminated, because once the faith begins to spread, it will spread to all parts of the world, not only to humans, but also to some intelligent life forms."
“Faith itself will not disappear completely, but will become very weak and difficult to gather again in large quantities, just like seeds that are scattered everywhere.”
"As long as the gods use the power of faith and let the believers rebuild the temple, they can make a comeback."
Lu Yao understood.
The hero starts over.
This was the case with Lisa.
"It is said that in the war of gods above the Pantheon, some gods will also have their faith and all believers completely wiped out in the war of gods."
Isabel continued, "During the war between gods, the faith in some gods will suffer a devastating blow. These gods that are completely expelled are the old gods."
Lu Yao took note of it silently.
That will happen after the Pantheon, when I have to get rid of my status as an apprentice god.
Now I am still a protected new player.
Normally speaking, the safe zone is still safe.
The closest case was the arrested Lisa, who fell back into the safe zone after the wonder was destroyed and had to start over from the barbarian tribe.
Lu Yao could now understand Lisa's anxiety.
Population growth brought incredible physiological enhancements, but the loss of a large number of people and faith suddenly caused the god players to fall from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley.
People can never tolerate loss.
Isabel changed into a gray sweatshirt, put on sunglasses, and dressed like a normal girl.
The investigation begins.
She clasped her fingers together, bowed her head and closed her eyes, muttering a low prayer.
Lu Yao didn't understand, but he could feel that something was emanating from Isabel, interacting and reacting with the surrounding world, like a stone thrown into calm water.
Gradually, a layer of white halo appeared on Isabel's body. It's not accurate to call it a halo, it's more like a layer of flowing milky white mist.
This was her ability, a last prayer.
Unlike the simplified white light of the pixel world, everything in the real world is clearly visible. Especially with Lu Yao's enhanced perception, he can clearly see those subtle processes and changes.
The white mist on Isabel's body merged into the walls and floor.
Gradually, wisps of black smoke appeared in the room. These wisps of black smoke were very small, and if you didn't look carefully, you would think they were black lines floating and swinging upwards.
The black lines entangled with each other, condensing into a constantly changing black mist.
Isabel said something to the black fog, but no sound came out. Lu Yao could only see her lips opening and closing.
Not long after, the black mass disappeared without a trace.
Isabel turned around and explained to Lu Yao: "Sir, the dead here said that the woman was eating raw meat and drinking blood."
"She cooked here every night and ate raw meat here, sucking the blood off the meat."
“The most eaten thing is raw fish.”
Lu Yao scratched his head.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Am I overthinking?
He had heard that in some places the custom included eating raw meat, which was even a delicacy for the locals.
Maybe Yu Yao came from those places. She was afraid that Zhou Qiang and herself would find out that she was eating raw meat, so she hid secretly and ate raw meat.
"Sir, there is the scent of a devil's followers."
Isabel looked out the window at the street, her eyes becoming sharper.
Lu Yao followed her gaze.
On the street, Zhou Qiang and Yu Yao were walking back hand in hand. The target of Isabel's gaze was Yu Yao.
"Should we terminate the target?"
"Wait a minute... Yu Yao is a devil believer?"
"Yes, sir. As an apostle, I cannot recognize the true form of the god, but I can see the flame of faith. She has no props to disguise herself, and the flame in her body is obvious."
What Lu Yao was most worried about happened.
He immediately said, "Control her. Find out her purpose and identity."
"yes."
Isabel dug out her left eye and handed it to Lu Yao, then pushed the door and went downstairs.
Lu Yao locked the bedroom door and began to watch remotely through his eyes.
On the street.
Isabel and Zhou Qiang walked towards each other, and Yu Yao's face changed. As if she had seen through Isabel's identity, her lips tightened, and the fingers holding Zhou Qiang also subconsciously clenched.
"Long time no see, let's chat."
Isabel stopped beside Yu Yao.
Zhou Qiang said, "Hey!" and looked at Yu Yao: "Do you know each other?"
Yu Yao forced a smile on her face: "She is a distant cousin of mine."
"You go back first. I'll chat with my cousin."
Zhou Qiang also nodded and walked back.
"Come with me."
Isabel led the way, and Yu Yao followed silently.
The two walked into a corner of the parking lane next to them. Even in the daytime, there was no one here, no surveillance cameras, and the dirty cars became natural shields.
Isabel walked to the innermost junked car, grabbed the door handle of the trunk, and forced the door open with a creak.
"sit."
The two of them got into the car one after the other.
silence.
"Can you give me three more days?" Yu Yao asked, "Can you let me live for three more days?"
Thanks to Silingyuanfu for supporting 1500 Qidian coins.
