Chapter 315: Beidou and Nandou
Hong Mouxiong tried every possible way to throw away or destroy the paper figurine. The material of the paper figurine did seem to be ordinary white paper, which could be torn into pieces, burned to ashes, and flushed down the toilet.
But not long after being destroyed, it would appear on Hong Mouxiong's shoulder like a ghost and whisper in his ear.
"Bring someone to the rooftop at night, don't forget."
Hong was tortured to the point of being unconscious all night, and he had a strong premonition that he could not resist or he would die. This huge physical fear and pressure made him sweat constantly and it was difficult for him to calm down.
His initial thought was to order takeout and have the delivery man go to the rooftop to handle it.
But the deliverymen had obviously seen it all before, and when they saw the top floor after dark, they were only willing to deliver to the lower floor, or even to the gate of the community. Hong Mouxiong was so angry that he started swearing at the two deliverymen on the phone.
He had to find another way.
Adult men are very vigilant, so Hong Mouxiong chose children as his first target. If he couldn't find a suitable child, he would try to find a woman who seemed easier to deceive.
His prop is a transformable handkerchief.
In fact, using the fire prop to deceive people was easier than he thought. He turned the handkerchief into a cute cat and dog and lured the child to the top floor.
The paper man will then pop out from the collar and say, "I got you."
Then the paper man shrank back into his clothes and disappeared without a trace.
The paper man issued the order at an irregular time. In two months, Hong Mouxiong took away a total of four children and one woman.
One day, the paper man told Hong Mouxiong: "Come to the rooftop."
Before this, he never went near the rooftop, and didn't even dare to think about what was happening there.
Hong went up to the rooftop, only to see the four children and a woman standing there. They were sitting together, eating hot pot.
While describing this scene, Hong Mouxiong himself kept rubbing his face with his hands.
"Whether you believe it or not, this is really the case."
"I don't know where the albino child has gone. I asked the children and the woman, and they all said there is no such person. There is only a white elephant on the roof..."
Hearing this, Lu Yao, who was remotely connected, also felt a little dizzy.
They were clearly trying to solve a case and catch the murderer, so how come the albino child turned into an elephant delivering hot pot?
What on earth are you doing?
"I know, this sounds a bit...unacceptable."
Song Shiyi also showed a helpless smile: "But please listen to me continue, because this case is more complicated."
"Investigators from the Enforcement Bureau went to the site for a thorough inspection and found that there was indeed a pile of food waste from instant hot pots, grilled fish, and various fast foods on the roof. Various evidence and the deliveryman's confession all proved that it was the woman who was abducted on the roof who ordered the takeaway and she went to pick it up herself."
"The delivery man said she looked normal and in a good mood."
The four children and one woman were unwilling to leave the rooftop.
No matter how Hong tried to persuade them, they refused to listen, which made Hong very anxious. Without the threat of the paper man, he was worried that the police would find him because of missing people.
He just wanted to send these people home as soon as possible to avoid attracting more attention and trouble.
However, these abducted people said that there was a white elephant on the roof, which was a symbol of good luck and fortune. It cured their illnesses and fulfilled their wishes.
In his anxiety, Hong Mouxiong was arrested by investigators from the Commission's Executive Bureau.
He was finally freed and cooperated well in telling what had happened.
One adult of the four abducted children was indeed on the rooftop. They displayed an almost fanatical stubbornness, saying they would wait until the elephant returned so that more wishes could be fulfilled.
The investigators immediately realized that something was wrong, and that this was not a simple hallucination or mental confusion. Using various props and devices, they finally discovered the problem.
Song Shiyi said: "...After eliminating many answers, the investigators concluded that it might be a wishing spirit."
Lu Yao was shocked.
He immediately asked through Isabel: "Hasn't Wasteland No. 7 been separated from the overlap? How come there are still wishing spirits?"
"Wasteland No. 7 is indeed gone."
Song Shiyi rubbed her hands and blew a breath in front of her mouth: "It's so cold, let's talk while we walk. The destination is about a kilometer away from here."
So, with her leading the way, Isabel followed all the way to the city center.
It was a cold and deserted night with a cold fog covering the city. The stray dogs on the roadside huddled together, hiding under trash cans and roadside cars.
This reminded Lu Yao of Hello. He wondered where the three-headed dog was sleeping now and whether he could eat something clean and hygienic.
"The Wishing Spirit is unique to Wasteland No. 7. Once it enters here, its original abilities will not be effective on Earth. However, there is a way to retain its original abilities. As long as there is an Earth player who can transform the Wishing Spirit into an Apostle, then this restriction can be circumvented through the simulator."
Song Shiyi stared straight ahead and spoke softly all the way.
"You mean, the origami child is actually a wishing spirit, and this wishing spirit is the apostle of a certain player?" Isabel tried to ask.
"The investigators from the Enforcement Bureau also made the same judgment."
The young prosecutor suddenly stopped and looked diagonally ahead, where the city gymnasium was located.
"arrive."
A yellow cordon was set up outside the building. After Song Shiyi arrived, she lowered her head and went in as if she was familiar with the place. She pushed open the door and walked all the way inside. All the glass doors and rolling doors along the way remained open.
The two walked in from the entrance corridor. The lights in the gymnasium were still on, but the red seats in the stadium were empty.
"The so-called elephants, or the albino children, are all the effects of the Wishing Spirit's [Word Spirit] and [Wish Corridor] abilities."
Song Shiyi slowly walked onto the grass of the football field and scanned the surroundings.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"The power of the wishing spirit's words can change people's perceptions. The story about the elephants appearing is not just from Hong Mouxiong, but other citizens have also reported seeing them."
"In this gym in particular, three staff members claimed that they had seen something white and resembling an elephant appear inside late at night."
"This was not an isolated incident, but a planned attempt."
"Someone is using the Wishing Spirit Apostles, starting with ordinary people, and even players like Hong Mouxiong, to verify the power of the Word Spirit by influencing them... If we can't quickly lock him down and capture him, his future actions will inevitably be more covert, and he may even leave the city."
Only then did Lu Yao know.
The person behind the roadside restaurant case is actually the wishing spirit who manipulates the situation.
But he was a little confused.
Are the people behind this massive creation of panic and illusions completely ignorant of the committee, or are they knowingly committing a deliberate provocation?
"It's hard to determine the suspect's identity. He was able to capture the wishing spirit in the previous Wasteland Crossing Zone No. 7, so his ability is extraordinary. What the committee values most is that he calls himself Beidou."
Speaking of this name, Song Shiyi's expression became extremely serious.
"Now that you are a specially hired intelligence officer, I can tell you these situations."
"The committee has a confidentiality bureau and an execution bureau. [Nan Dou] is in the confidentiality bureau, responsible for protecting the lives of witnesses and criminals who surrender. He also collects and keeps various evidence and special props. This is the key to the committee getting many criminals to surrender."
"[Beidou] is in the Execution Bureau, responsible for arresting, capturing, and clearing out. For extremely dangerous criminals or large-scale disasters, Beidou is usually responsible for handling them."
Isabel asked, "What are the North and South Dippers?"
"The Sailor."
Song Shiyi said softly, "They are a special kind of navigators, or in the terms of the lower dimension, they can also be regarded as the main gods... but they have become two devices that can only be used after the evaluation and permission of the committee."
Lu Yao was a little curious.
It sounds like Nandou and Beidou have been transformed into tools?
Perhaps this is the only way to ensure that the Lord God's abilities are used properly.
Isabel followed Lu Yao's meaning and said, "Is the wishing spirit related to Beidou?"
"No, that is impossible."
Song Shiyi hesitated for a moment and said, "Because there was an accident with Beidou, it has been unusable for many years. The details are highly confidential, and I know very little about it, so I can't reveal it."
The faulty Beidou suddenly appeared in the mouth of a criminal suspect, which would indeed attract the committee's high attention.
Lu Yao was just about to ask for some more information when suddenly something caught his attention.
Through Isabel's eyes, he saw a huge white object slowly walking out of the gymnasium's entrance and exit passage not far away.
It has a large and heavy body, but its steps are light and make no sound at all. It has strong limbs and a long and flexible nose.
Oh shit.
There really are elephants!
Lu Yao was shocked.
