Chapter 178

Chapter 178

"……walk?"

Officer Liu repeated the last two words subconsciously. The baton in his hand was soaked with sweat. The vague sense of uneasiness in the face of danger became stronger and stronger.

"You should be in the hospital now," he said with a veiled warning.

The black-haired boy opposite seemed to tilt his head.

Officer Liu then discovered that the man's left ear had grown a dark green snake-shaped earring that appeared dark green in the dim light. Even though he was not familiar with jewelry, he could feel that this thing was of higher quality than any crystal or even gem he had ever seen before.

If the black-haired boy had this thing on him at the police station, today's incident would definitely not have been covered so hastily - but the problem was that at that time, there was no room on the other party's body to hide the earring.

Did he contact anyone?

Officer Liu's gaze fell imperceptibly into the depths of the alley behind the black-haired boy. The smell of blood became stronger and stronger, as if it was lingering around him with the wind blowing through the alley.

"Old Liu," a voice came from his partner's intercom. The young detective remembered something and reminded him in a low voice, stumbling a little, "...we need to go find the person who reported the case."

So don't get stuck here - although the other party looks very abnormal and seems easy to subdue, he always feels that the best way to deal with it at this time is to find a chance to leave.

Unfortunately, this tiny sound, almost a whisper, attracted the other party's attention the moment it fell.

The pair of beautiful green cat eyes, when they suddenly focused their gaze on one point, showed no emotion, just like the surveillance balls commonly seen in science fiction works that automatically track all movements. The cold feeling without any human touch was frightening.

The young policeman's mind paused. His lips moved, but no sound came out, as if his entire vocal system had disappeared and the whole person seemed to be frozen.

He entered the industry late, and now he finally realized what kind of state a person is in when he is extremely frightened.

"The person who reported the crime?" The black-haired boy thought of something. He smiled and said, "So you came here to look for her. Although we didn't come here for a walk... we did meet by chance."

Officer Liu's pupils shrank, and as the smell of blood became stronger, a very bad premonition came to his mind: "What did you do?!"

How is the person who reported the case? Could he be the one following me? ! Damn it, I was just a step late... I must see the current situation of the reporter -

The black-haired boy said confidently: "Save him."

Officer Liu: “……?”

"I just happened to meet you." The black-haired boy blinked innocently and turned sideways to let the dim light from the street lamp shine in. Everything in the darkness behind him finally became vaguely visible. Two figures were lying on the ground, not knowing whether they were dead or alive, while another one - who seemed to be a girl with long hair - was groping for something she had dropped on the ground very quietly, even with a slightly stiff movement.

Officer Liu just glanced and looked away. As a man of many years of work and rich experience, he already roughly understood what had just happened here.

The girl's clothes have not yet been completely put on and tidied. Any gaze from the opposite sex at this time will probably cause a stress response in her, making her feel uneasy.

So… this kid didn’t leave, but stood outside the alley, helping her block the view?

This thought flashed through Officer Liu's mind for a moment, and before he had time to think further, the girl stood up unsteadily and walked slowly outside, but did not completely leave the alley. She stood behind the black-haired boy, facing the two police officers, in a position where they could see each other, and her bloodshot eyes slowly scanned them.

“…I was the one who called the police,” she said.

Su Xing added calmly, "There's a person inside wearing a fake police uniform."

Perhaps the person who reported the case could have escaped, but these people had premeditated a trap and trapped her in the alley.

Upon hearing this, Officer Liu immediately took out his ID and said, "Don't worry, we are not bad people and we will not hurt you. You are safe."

Su Xingyuan nodded in agreement: "Indeed, I went to the police station for tea with Officer Liu today."

Officer Liu: “…”

For a moment, he didn't know what expression to put on when facing this guy.

After hearing Su Xingyuan's words, the girl's face finally regained some color and she took a few tentative steps forward. At this time, Officer Liu saw that the situation was not right and called over other colleagues who had arrived. The policewoman immediately stepped forward to comfort them. The others wanted to go over to check on the suspect, but when they saw the person still standing at the entrance of the alley, they became alert.

"Why are you here?" Officer Liu asked again.

Su Xingyuan: "Don't be so wary of me. I don't kill people."

Su Xingyuan: “?”

He told the truth, and it seemed that the atmosphere suddenly became more solemn.

Seeing that these people were really nervous, he took the initiative to step aside a few steps and waited obediently on the side.

In the darkness, every move he made revealed obedience. However, Officer Liu, who was closest to him, saw that when he was watching all this, the emotion in his eyes was clearly extremely cold.

After what happened tonight, Officer Liu would no longer regard him as a so-called middle school boy. Even if this guy really has mental problems, he is probably one of the most dangerous mentally ill people.

After all, ordinary people would not be in the mood to make a joke after something like this happened, with two people lying on the ground with their lives or deaths unknown. It would be like just casually killing two ants.

“Call an ambulance!”

"Still breathing..."

"There are no wounds on his body...wait, is he bleeding from all his orifices??"

"Is this sucked?"

The police who checked the situation gradually found that something was wrong, even a little weird. The black-haired boy spread his hands and said innocently: "I said, I don't kill people."

At least here, he doesn't kill people.

The police suspected that the suspect had internal injuries, so they sent him to the hospital by ambulance for emergency treatment and examination, but they found out that the suspect was either crazy or stupid.

"One kept saying that he saw a lot of tentacles growing on a person and a monster. Another one could only drool. When no one paid attention to him, he would hurt himself and said he wanted to find relief..." The doctor rubbed his eyebrows: "They seem to have been seriously stimulated."

But the problem is that we can only see the symptoms. During the examination, the instrument seems to be blocked by the standard answers and can't find any problems - it's obvious that there is bleeding from all seven orifices, so there must be a big problem.

"I can't see any problem at all."

Hearing his colleague's retelling of his headache, Officer Liu paused.

He said slowly: "Su Xingyuan's test results...seem to be the same."

Things...seem to be becoming more and more incomprehensible.

At this moment, Su Xingyuan, the center of the topic, was sitting on a chair in the corridor, with a camera above his head and two people watching him. He didn't think anything of it and drank water quietly, as if he didn't notice the solemn expressions of others and the nervous movements when they passed by him.

However, he certainly didn't expect to come here a second time in one day.

He did run to the edge of the city, but when he was about to leave, he encountered an air wall, and the game popped up a window saying "Area ahead, come back and explore later."

Su Xingyuan: “…”

Good realistic game.

Generally, in this case, either the map has not been completed or the related tasks have not been completed.

The key point is that, up to now, he has been using force to break the law all the way, and there is not even a shadow of a mission. If you want to try to trigger a task, the easiest way is to go through the open maps first.

So he really didn't lie at that time, he just came out for a walk and took care of two guys with bad intentions. He didn't even touch them - once he put on the [Tendu Accessory], with the mental resistance of the residents here, the san value could be cleared in one second.

If it weren't for those two people, they might not have had the courage to take people's lives and had not become famous. They would have died from the mental shock the moment they saw Su Xingyuan.

As for the girl who was almost killed...for a moment, Su Xingyuan finally saw a familiar aura of magic from her.

It was as if the flawless surface of this world was quietly torn open, leaving a crack that vaguely revealed the truth.

But this gap is so tiny that it can't change anything or help her. Letting things happen might cause the gap to widen, and human emotions have always been a good catalyst, but Su Xingyuan still took action before that and appeared in front of them.

Then, the long-awaited task pop-up window finally opened.

[…This place is as beautiful as a paradise, and you can get a brief moment of peace here. Sometimes you want to indulge in it regardless of everything. There is nothing wrong with an ordinary and normal daily life. You are tired of those monsters that seem to be endless to kill and the hunters who always have evil intentions.

Su Xingyuan:?

When did he get tired? How come he didn't know?

[Perhaps staying here forever is a good choice]

[But tonight, right before your eyes, the canvas of illusion was finally torn apart, and you finally sensed the breath of magic. Will you choose to deceive yourself forever and sink with the others here... or will you wake them up and uncover the truth that may not be so kind? 】

[Congratulations on triggering the special mission: Utopia]

[Mission Objective: 1. Find the truth in the city]

[2. Tear off the perfect skin of the world]

Su Xingyuan raised his eyes slightly.

From his angle, he could just see a corner of the clothes worn by the person reporting the case.

She was sitting on a chair, seemingly with her head lowered, holding a cup of steaming tea, silent, as if she was deeply frightened by what had just happened and unable to react to the outside world for a while.

Su Xingyuan saw that faint strands of magic power began to gradually gather around her body, slowly condensing and growing stronger bit by bit.

She wasn't afraid. She remembered something, and when she obviously didn't fully understand her own situation, she put the two culprits on her death list.

Because although those magic powers are weak, they can easily expose the master's current mood when the master cannot control it, for example - the murderous intent that is lingering and never gives up like a python strangling its prey.

[Task 2 Progress: 1%]
