In the Happy World's 'Happy Water World' park, as it was already night, most of the recreational facilities were closed, so there were almost no tourists here.
When footsteps sounded near the amusement facility [Surfing], a huge mass of white ice suddenly rose up in the calm and dark river. Under the glow of neon lights, five icicles attacked the place where the footsteps sounded like poisonous dragons biting their guts!
Snap——
The sound of ice flakes exploding was endless, and the fiercely attacking icicles finally turned into a huge tomb, blocking all life forces inside.
Bai Ji, who had his hands on the ground in the distance, stood up and stepped on the ice. The ice surface extended in front of his feet, paving a frosty path for him, allowing him to slide on the ground at an incredible speed without any effort and quickly approach the ice tomb.
Suddenly, boiling white mist burst out from the ice tomb, and a bald man with his whole body burning in black flames broke out from it and strode towards Bai Ji.
In order to have a chance of survival in the ice tomb, he had to burn his whole body, so he burned all his clothes, makeup and hair!
Bai Ji could see that this man who tried to kill civilians and then fled after injuring people after failing was a very ordinary man - he had an average physique and strong limbs, and it seemed that he usually did physical work; his eyes were very small, and they were squinted even in battle, which meant that even if he was not nearsighted now, he was nearsighted in the past - nearsighted patients who wear glasses are prone to this kind of "narrow-eyed" eyes.
His appearance is not good, just average. He should be over 30 years old, but should be single.
Besides the fact that he looked a bit like a virgin, Bai Ji also felt that a married man would not do such a thing as murder and arson.
Of course, if he had been devoured by the desire to kill and turned into a "demon", then Bai Ji's speculation would naturally be meaningless - once possessed by a demon, no matter if he is a super rich man or the king of soldiers in Huadu, he will still kill people.
But this person's actions, whether running away, forbearance or outburst, are full of rational judgment. He is definitely not a possessed person who has lost his mind.
"But... when you came here, you had already lost." Bai Ji stretched out his right hand towards the river and clenched it fiercely!
The river water next to him suddenly exploded, and ice spikes burst out from the river surface and attacked the bald man!
Although the black flames could burn the ice spikes, under such intensive attacks, a small part of the ice spikes still pierced the bald man's body.
He cried out in pain and staggered, almost falling to the ground, but he quickly steadied his feet and the sole of his right foot suddenly exploded. Although his right foot was blown away with blood and flesh, it also gave him great kinetic energy, allowing him to quickly close the distance with Bai Ji.
"You have the courage."
Bai Ji knows very few spells - it can be said that although he knows some other types of spells, he is not proficient in all spells and it is difficult for him to use them in battle.
But this will not be his shortcoming at all.
The six major aspects of a monk's battle: attack, defense, movement, reconnaissance, treatment, and assistance. Among them, he had already left the Yellow River and Yangtze River troops, and there was no need for reconnaissance at all. Treatment was required, and assistance was just icing on the cake.
As for the three aspects of attack, defense, and movement, Bai Ji only needs to study his awakening spells to reach the peak level of a third-level cultivator!
A thick ice wall suddenly appeared in front of the bald man. He roared and broke through the ice wall, but there was no Bai Ji's figure behind the ice wall, but another ice wall!
He crashed into the ice wall, stopping his momentum, but the ice wall also melted.
He turned around and found that Bai Ji had walked gracefully and leisurely behind him, with his hand touching the huge ice tomb.
"There's water in too many places in Happy World."
Bai Ji exhaled a breath of cold air, and the air nearby seemed to freeze as well: "Surrender."
Countless weapons appeared in the ice tomb, ready to go. An ice wall also rose up in the river beside it. The dense ice spikes were enough to make people with trypophobia pass out.
The ground had been completely soaked by water at some point, turning into a smooth ice surface. Ice walls rose from the ice surface, which could not block the bald man's path, but were enough to delay him for a few seconds.
And in just a few seconds, he would be pierced by thousands of arrows.
What's more, the bald man's right foot was blown off by the explosion and was covered in blood, so it was unable to support him to continue escaping.
Noticing the bald man's silence, Bai Ji further confirmed that he was definitely not possessed by a demon, and advised: "Stop it, if you continue like this, won't anyone cry because of you?"
"No."
The bald man's voice had an indescribable rusty quality - hoarse and disgusting, with a strange tone, as if he seldom spoke to people.
“If someone cries for me, it means I am still something, otherwise, I am nothing.” The bald man said this calmly. There was no sadness about his life experience. Instead, it seemed like he was stating the conclusion he had drawn over thirty years.
Bai Ji, who was working hard to condense the ice wall, suddenly felt even colder.
The loneliness hidden by the man in front of me was accumulated by more than 30 years of mediocrity, just like the sandstorm covering a piece of grass for more than 30 years. The vitality given by the sun was covered by the sandstorm, and the tide given by the moon was suppressed by the sandstorm. Finally, the grass completely turned into a desert, and even piled up sand dunes like blades, as if trying to cut the world.
Bai Ji asked, "Then why did you do these things? To take revenge on society?"
The bald man put his weight on his uninjured left foot and shook his head gently: "I'm not that boring."
"Then what is your purpose?" Bai Ji didn't know what he was thinking, and his tone became a little more serious: "Is it because of your...ability?"
"You are a little right," the bald man said, making a springboard gesture, "but more importantly, it is to please that person."
"who?"
"The one who gave me new life, gave me courage, and ignited my passion... the devil!"

When Yu Kuangtu and Li Dan got off the helicopter, Ren Suo was stunned for a moment.
"Country people are country people. You've never even ridden in a helicopter, right?" Yu Kuangtu walked over and patted Ren Suo on the shoulder. "It's no use looking at me. I won't let you ride on it when we go back. Just run back by yourself."
Zhao Huo saw Li Dan holding a black snakeskin bag behind Yu Kuangtu and asked curiously, "What's in it?"
"This is what the deputy director vomited just now." Li Dan said calmly.
Everyone saluted Kuang Tu. Ren Suo pushed away Yu Kuang Tu's hand and said, "Forget it. I'll take the bus back. At least I won't vomit."
Yu Kuangtu snorted, just like Ren Suo complaining about sour grapes. But he looked at Ren Suo seriously, turned around and said to Li Dan: "Ren Suo has reached the third level, how about you?"
Li Dan immediately threw the snakeskin bag in his hand over, turned around and walked towards the helicopter, saying: "I will go back and take a month off to practice, you can take your time to work."
"Hey!? Me!? Dan, wait!"
Yu Kuangtu, who was in a hurry to catch his own vomit bag, immediately pulled Li Dan, who wanted to go back, with a flattering look on his face, which made everyone look upset.
After a commotion, Yu Kuangtu also started working: "The Holy Spirit Pastor appeared here before, but he disappeared after treating the people? Bai Ji went after the murderer, and you are here to treat other wounded people?"
"Hmm." Ren Suo pointed at the huge icicle in the distance illuminated by neon lights: "I wonder if they have finished fighting."
Li Dan looked in the direction of the icicle with his panda eyes and said, "There is no movement over there, either the battlefield has been moved or the fight is over.
There are two results at the end of the battle: Bai Ji wins or loses.
But according to what you said, the only abilities that the murderer displayed were strength and fire, and these two abilities should be restrained by Bai Ji, so I guess he was subdued by him."
Yu Kuangtu seemed to want to say something at this time, but Li Dan immediately blocked his mouth: "I know your flames are powerful, but there is the sound of flowing water over there, ice spells plus water environment, are you sure you can restrain Bai Ji in that battlefield?"
"Of course I can!" Yu Kuangtu refused to admit defeat. It seemed that he often compared himself with Bai Ji - as the two strongest men in Lianjiang, one was made of fire and the other was made of ice. Naturally, Yu Kuangtu secretly believed that he could crush Bai Ji.
Now the people from the Countermeasures Bureau have arrived, and the tourists have been sent to a safe place by the staff, so Ren Suo and the others followed Yu Kuangtu to find Bai Ji.
When they arrived at the place where the icicle was, Bai Ji was sitting on a bench on the side, looking down at the ground, as if thinking about something.
The ground was very slippery and wet. When Ren Suo and the others came over, Bai Ji came to his senses and smiled at them.
Yu Kuangtu glanced at the skeleton not far away that was still burning in the black flames: "Is he dead?"
"He committed suicide." Bai Ji felt a little complicated.
Without Kuang Tu's advice, Li Dan took the monks with him to collect the bodies.
Yu Kuangtu took a look at the battle scene. There were huge icicles and ice walls everywhere. The ice was constantly melting, making the ground wet. The relative humidity in the air was so high that it made him uncomfortable. When fighting with this guy, he had to evaporate all the water nearby as soon as possible.
"Tell me briefly about the process." Yu Kuangtu took out a recorder.
其实也没什么好说的——白忌追着凶徒到这里，凭借环境里的水流阻断了凶徒的去路，然后凶徒殊死一搏，然后他发现怎么都打不过白忌，最后就直接20投当场去世了。
“不过，那个凶徒说了一些很奇怪的话……”白忌非常小心谨慎地组织言辞：“他的能力好像……”
“副局。”
黎丹一脸严肃地走过来，将一根像是笔的检查仪器递给于匡图。于匡图瞄了一眼仪器的显示，顿时脸色一变，说道：“白忌……那混蛋真的是自杀的吗？”
“是。”
察觉到气氛变化的任索问道：“怎么了？”
于匡图皱起眉头，说道：“白忌暂时还不能走，接下来的事属于保密内容……任索，赵火，现在时间也不早了，你们先回家吧。”
小玖凑过来大声问道：“为什么小白不能走？”
于匡图也是第一次看见小玖，神情顿时放缓下来，和颜悦色地说道：“因为需要去登记一下，走一下流程……放心吧，白忌是见义勇为，正当防卫，只是需要配合我们继续进行调查。”
虽然任索知道于匡图肯定是瞎扯谈，但于匡图也不会害人，估计真的是什么不能公之于众的保密事项，因此他也顺着于匡图的意思说道：“那我们就先回去了，白忌你要是没事，就给我们报个平安吧。”
白忌笑道：“放心吧，我绝对不会让你为我担心的。”
……
一路无话，虽然白忌不在，任索也不会开车，但幸好任星美在暑假的时候就考了车牌，因此大家也顺利回去。
许是今天的经历太过刺激，大家都很疲累，简单分别后便各自回去休息。
就连小玖在洗澡后也早早上床，抱着手机玩了不到三分钟就手机砸脸睡着了。
倒是任索现在却是有点睡不着。
今晚的事虽然突然，但并不罕见——普通人获得了超凡能力然后行恶，这种事并没有什么难以理解的，人性就是如此。
反倒是爆炸汽车引起的火灾里，居然出现了火焰祸乱之源，这个才让任索惊奇：他虽然以前就听说过《命运》直播之后，祸乱之源就开始逐渐出现，但现实里遇到还是第一次。
祸乱之源这玩意，说好有好的一面，只要你能迅速击杀祸乱之源，就能直接让灾祸消失；说不好也有不好的地方，那就是如果你不能击杀祸乱之源，那么祸乱之源就有可能造成更大的损失。这些还是玄国官方调查出来的情报，现在尚且不知道祸乱之源对灾祸还会不会其他影响。
不过这个火焰祸乱之源在开始塑形的时候，就被赵子鲤发现，被他用神圣水弹直接射爆阻止，因此连冒泡都做不到就熄灭了。
感觉自己短时间内睡不着的任索，便打开了小世界游戏机，打算将‘逃亡第五天’也彻底通关了。
其实第五天夜晚还能去游玩的景点已经不多，任索只是因为早上要喊小玖起床，所以才停止游戏。
任索很快就找到第五天夜晚的正确剧情触发景点——白塔楼。
一番愉快的游玩后，两人在白塔楼的最高处遇到了有蛛丝马迹的证人。经过交谈，总线索度便涨到了——49.9%！
看得任索都皱眉起来，他感觉50%肯定会触发新剧情。现在差了0.1%，感觉好像要多浪费一个回合。
不过当任索结束逃亡第五天，进入逃亡第六天的时候，他便知道这0.1%的线索度，恐怕是需要游戏助攻——
「第六天一大早，绫音就唤醒了慕公子和侍女小锁，着急地告诉慕公子已经被六大派通缉了！」
「通缉文书上并没有写明慕公子的罪行，绫音似乎认为慕公子是因为那一晚为了救她杀了那个男人，所以才被六大派通缉。」
「慕公子对此其实早有预料，但是当他浏览通缉文书的时候，心情却依然受到极大影响……」
画面里出现了一张通缉文书，除了慕公子的相貌、名字、年龄和特征外，还有多行血红色的备注：
「此凶徒非常危险，身怀绝世武学，发现者请马上通知当地官府……
凡击杀此人者，赏金……
此人武学非常特殊，击杀者都将直接继承此人的绝世武学之基……
击杀者将获得六大派的重金聘用……」
任索很快就找到备注中最重要的内容：‘此人武学非常特殊，击杀者都将直接继承此人的绝世武学之基’。
击杀者……可以直接继承慕公子的魔功！？

对策局地下室内，白忌看着面前的三只咯咯直叫的公鸡，默默不语。
“一定要……徒手吗？”白忌有些艰难地问道。
一旁的黎丹点点头：“还必须让它们的鸡头看着你，你要让它们看着杀鸡者的相貌才行。”
注意到白忌似乎有些无奈，坐在对面的于匡图安慰道：“放心吧，你怎么杀都可以，这三只鸡都是瘸了、吃太多饲料了、不吃饲料了，本身也是宰的，你只是提前给了它们一点小小的帮助。”
有轻微洁癖的白忌虽然心中千般不愿，但还是挽起袖子，将这三只被绑的严严实实的公鸡，一只只扭下鸡头，场面非常血腥，鸡血飚得到处都是，那股臭臭的鸡血味，更是让所有人都情不自禁运转「衣」系法术来过滤空气。
“好了，来抽血吧。”黎丹拿出一根针筒。
经过简单的抽血和验血后，黎丹当场就得出结果：“他的血里没有出现污染反应，那人的觉醒法术没有传到他身上。”
于匡图也松了口气，说道：“幸好没有……不然白忌要是被调去天京，那可能我就得去天莲学院当老师了。等等，这好像也……”
因为椅子上有鸡血，所以一直站着的白忌问道：“现在可以告诉我，究竟为什么要进行这种这么……诡异的抽血检查了吗？”
正在思考当老师的利弊和师生恋可不可行的于匡图，说道：“这属于保密事项，你也不能知道。”
“我是当事人。”白忌说道。
于匡图沉吟片刻，说道：“天莲学院的教师……当事人……好吧，那你千万不可以说出去，无论谁都不行。”
“这个自然。”
“这世上的觉醒法书有很多种，你是知道的。”于匡图双手合十，说道：“其中大多数觉醒法术都只跟自己有关，也就是需要觉醒者自己钻研，自己修炼，自己思考，自己增强……”
“但有一些觉醒法术，却并非如此。这些觉醒法术，除了觉醒者自己增强外，还能通过一些外部行为来增强……”
于匡图说道：“其中，有一些外部行为是对他人无害的，例如赚钱越多就越强，例如人生成就越多就越强……我就是随便一说，有没有这些能力我也不知道，毕竟这些与人无害的增强行为，很难发现。
而这类能力中，我所知道的，或者说玄国在研究的，就只有一种。”
他指了指桌面上三只断了头还在抽搐的公鸡：“可以通过杀伤生灵来增强的觉醒法术。”
白忌有些疑惑：“那你要我杀这三只公鸡，是为了……检查我有没有这种觉醒法术？”
于匡图点点头：“研究所发现，这些杀伤生灵来增强的觉醒法术，都会让觉醒者身体沾染上受害者的‘污染灵气’。普通的杀戮是不会有这种影响，唯独这类杀伤增强的觉醒法术，在通过其他生灵的苦痛中汲取能量时，才会让觉醒者无形之中受到污染。”
“或许，这些污染灵气就是受害者最后的复仇，这种污染目前来说是无法根除的，这也是我们识别这类觉醒者的重要手段——我们可以通过验血，检查你是否被污染。”
“不过，听说联邦那边好像研究出不用验血，也能检查出是否被污染的道具，不知道我们什么时候才能用上……”
白忌依旧眉头紧锁：“但为什么检查我？……啊，那个人是杀戮法术觉醒者？但跟我有什么关系？”
于匡图敲了敲桌面，说道：“你有听说过一句话，叫‘杀人者，人恒杀之’吗？”
白忌：“意思是杀人者迟早也会被杀？”
“没错。”于匡图说道：“研究所发现，这些杀戮法术觉醒者，被人杀了之后，击杀他们的人，也会直接继承他们的杀戮法术——简直就像是一个诅咒一样不停传播。”
白忌一脸不可思议：“怎么可能有这种觉醒法术……“
“就是有。”于匡图耸耸肩，说道：“所以你也明白，这为什么是保密事项了吧？不论是杀戮法术觉醒者，还是普通人，要是知道了杀戮法术的存在，以及杀戮法术的‘继承性’，你觉得会发生什么事？”
Bai Ji thought for a moment and said, "People who haven't awakened yet...may want to kill the one who has awakened the killing spell? And other cultivators will also try their best to hunt down this one who has awakened the killing spell to obtain his killing spell?"
Yu Kuangtu nodded and said, "Even if it is a kind-hearted killing spell awakener, once he knows that the result of being exposed is that he will be watched and hunted by countless people, and live in fear every day, he may collapse emotionally and start killing.
...Okay, you can go now, just remember to keep it a secret."
The smell of chicken blood in the basement was getting stronger and stronger. Bai Ji quickly walked towards the door when he heard this. However, before he left, he turned back and asked, "What would you do if I didn't catch up with the murderer and let him escape?"
"What should we do? Put him on the wanted list." Yu Kuangtu was also preparing to leave this place full of the stench of chicken blood, and followed Bai Ji and answered unhappily.
Bai Ji walked to the corridor and asked, "He is so dangerous, will you publish his information and mobilize the masses to quickly capture him... If the masses knew that his awakening spell could be 'inherited', they would definitely pay more attention, right?"
"Dangerous?" Yu Kuangtu laughed. "He is not qualified. The country does not need to release his information. The countermeasures system and the public security system are enough to catch him."
"But your statement is interesting."
Yu Kuangtu touched his chin and said, "If there really is a killing spell awakener who needs to disclose confidential information, we must mobilize the masses to capture it...
How powerful does this awakened person have to be, and how bad has he done to make the country hunt him down at all costs?"
