Chapter 51 The Longest Night (3)(1/2)
"It's you."
"It's me."
"You're here."
"I am coming."
"You shouldn't have come."
"I'm already here."
"Nonsense, do you know what you mean by coming here?! I am doomed. She only has you for her money. Among all the children, you are the one she looks forward to the most!"
Hearing this angry rebuke, Zheng Li breathed a sigh of relief under the mask.
After all, this has been an old joke since before he was born, and he has forgotten how to answer the next lines.
As for what Jiang Haiyi said, if he hadn't thought it through a long time ago, why would he be standing here.
He thought for a while before continuing.
"Without me secretly helping you, you would have been arrested a long time ago. Especially recently, the frequency has been too fast, and the entire city's criminal investigation forces have begun to invest. If there were not those imitators involving the police's energy, and without me helping you mislead the direction of the investigation, you would have been arrested.
Enter the network."
"I know. Ever since I picked up the historical record file of the 'Justice Killer' in the dojo, I knew you knew it. I'm just a little confused and have been wanting to ask, when did you know it and where did you know it?
"
The words were convoluted, but Zheng Li understood them. In order to avoid becoming an "ancient dragon" again, he spoke very directly.
"From that silly woman. She ran over to us excitedly that day and said that she actually had a good night's sleep yesterday, and when her physical condition was probably getting better, I realized that something was wrong. What followed was just a matter of following the clues.
That single-cell idiot thought pie in the sky was going to fall, and even made me drink two more drinks."
Zheng Li shrugged. Both Xie Ying and Sister Yinzi were too innocent in a sense. They would not doubt the people around them at all, let alone their own families.
If a completely broken container is suddenly filled with water, it will appear to be foreign. Only the magic sword can absorb the victim's life force and forcibly renew Sister Yinzi's life.
Fortunately, both of them are not good at doubting their family members. With Xie Ying's consistent ability, he should have exposed the secret a long time ago. Being able to cover it up to this day has exceeded expectations.
Thanks to his rare stupidity, until today, the legend of the Just Beheader has been formed, and the success rate of the plan has increased a lot.
"Since you know, why are you here! Do you know what will happen to me?! How dare you be directly involved in this kind of thing? I thought you were smart enough!"
"Oh, obviously I'm not smart enough. As for your end, the best is the best. The success rate is less than 5%. As Sister Yinzi's only spiritual blade, you successfully dragged her into the myth. Regardless of whether you can cure Yinzi, you
It’s definitely doomed.”
On a certain level, Zheng Li admired Jiang Haiyi's awareness of how he risked everything for the possibility of his family's survival.
"Our society does not need to allow the birth of such mythical creatures, let alone its existence. Shiqian City will report it to the human parliament after confirming the information, and the parliament will notify the four spirits to carry out the punishment. You will be executed by the four spirits within forty-eight hours at the earliest.'
"Get rid of the name, squeeze out the entire spirit blade system, break the oath with the sword master and the spirit blade, and everything will return to zero. Ha, this is the meaning of the existence of the four spirit system, after all, it has experienced too many betrayals."
As far as Zheng Li knew, the Four Spirits and Spirit Blade systems were not mankind's first supernatural power system, nor were they the fastest growing, nor even the ones with the highest ceiling.
But in the end, I chose this path because it was the most stable overall and the one with the highest degree of dependence on the strong and the society.
The strong need the weak, and the weak can become the strong. This kind of mechanism is the best way to unite all forces and move forward as a whole.
"Black myths that tend to be negative are allowed, but once a black myth like mine is established, there will be countless imitators, and social unrest will continue for several years. Therefore, even if it succeeds, it will only be a matter of time before I am eradicated from the root."
.”
The cruelest words were indeed spoken by the calm Demon Blade. From the moment he set foot on this road, he already knew that this was the best outcome.
No, to be precise, he only wanted to become a demon blade at the beginning, kill a few bastards who were just wasting food while living, and draw life force into money to extend his life. At least, it would make her feel more comfortable when she left.
But if you often walk by the river, you can't help but get your feet wet. It's still only a matter of time before you are discovered. Everyone knows that the demon blade stained with blood will die sooner or later.
If it weren't for the "justice" attribute of the Justice-Decapitator, which made the investigators slack off and shirk the blame, perhaps he would have been arrested before he killed himself.
Now there is a glimmer of hope for a complete cure for Ginko, and thanks to the historical file of the "Decapitation Demon Incident" that he picked up at the dojo, his arrival at this scene was really the result of the guidance of the person in front of him.
"It seems that I should thank you. At least the possibility is not zero now. If you come to see me now, you must have something to say to me and use me. Yes, as long as I can do it, just say it."
"Oh, you really surprised me. I always thought you were guarding against me."
"Yes, that's because I don't know what you want. Now that you're here, it's only for money, so feel free to use me."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you don't really have a crush on Sister Yinzi, do you? Give up, it's no use, her daughter was able to do so decades ago."
"Sure enough, he is still a little kid. Everything is related to love. The weight of his family is not on the same scale as that."
"Of course I understand, family"
Zheng Li waved his hand angrily, but was coldly interrupted by Jiang Haiyi.
"You don't understand. If you understood, you wouldn't be here. Yinzi expects more from you than the other apprentices combined. Do you really think that a rabbit you just met has so much weight? Xie Ying's upper limit is
There, and you are finished, she really has no hope at all. Do you know what she talks about the most every day when we get along?"
"'Little Zheng Li is like this', 'Little Zheng Li is like that', 'Little Zheng Li can give me the title of Hou Yi', 'Little Zheng Li's talent is really intelligence processing', tell me, do you have it?
Do you respond to her expectations seriously?"
"She regards you as her closest family member. What do you regard her as, a stupid woman with overflowing maternal instincts? Do you treat her as a family member and show the whole truth to her? What are you afraid of and what makes her
You don't even dare to tell the truth."
Zheng Li opened his mouth and didn't know what to say for a while. In the end, he could only shake his head and squeeze out a sentence.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Maybe you don't believe it, but I haven't killed anyone yet. The portrait of the suspect in the task force is also a big shot with quasi-mythical combat power. I am a rookie who was shortlisted in the novice competition. I want to blame him.
It’s very difficult.”
Seeing Zheng Li taking the initiative to change the topic, Jiang Haiyi shook his head and had no intention of following up. After all, their relationship was just like that. Without Sister Yinzi as a link, they would not be able to talk together at all.
"This is not the way I know the secret police behave. Just because you appear in the same place as me, they will kill you without hesitation."
Zheng Li shrugged and did not continue to answer.
The two of them were silent, waiting at the murder scene, waiting next to the body.
There was already a faint sound of alarm bells in the periphery, and there was a clicking sound of flashing lights outside the window.
Not only did the police come, but the face of the victim was exposed during the live broadcast. Someone with knowledge must have named him. Many netizens who were not afraid of death were close to him. Their lives were not as important as the live broadcast.
Jiang Haiyi didn't know why Zheng Li deliberately left him here, but as he said, "As long as we serve the common ultimate goal, feel free to use me."
And as more and more cameras focused on him, he also had vague feelings and guesses.
Zheng Li spoke, and it turned into a mechanical synthesized voice again.
"The Justice Killer is a fictional mythical character and a concept. To make him come true, he needs a directional target. And this live broadcast and the outside footage have made more and more people recognize that 'You are the one'
'Justice Beheading Demon', this concept focuses on you."
"Heroic deeds, mythical deeds, next?"
"Please Mr. 'Justice Beheader', in front of the camera, to fulfill your justice and complete your great achievements and legend. And you also know that for most of us humans, there is nothing better than killing the old enemy Atel."
More righteous. And I happen to know that there is a group of elite Atel warriors in the Golden Haiyan Trading Market not far away, and several of them are 'heroes' on the battlefield, with countless lives on their hands.
.”
"They are still there at this time because they are guarding something important, which is the treasure of our Shiqian City. Please take it back for us. By the way, put this on top. We want more people to recognize you
'justice'."
A simple cross-shaped artificial spiritual weapon was inlaid with two spiritual crystals. It was a special artificial spiritual weapon that was obviously handmade. Jiang Haiyi put it away without asking.
He picked up the bowstring, walked slowly to the door, faced the camera outside, and walked silently to the south.
Behind him, there was also a live watch shot that had just been started. The "Justice Beheading Demon Online Beheading" live broadcast room exploded instantly, the show started, and the number of people online increased dramatically.
There was chaos outside. The police cars were loosely surrounded, and the police hiding in the back were squatting and shouting. The enthusiastic spectators on the side kept flashing lights. You could even see support signs such as "The Decapitator is So Handsome."
He slowly walked toward the crowd, but the crowd slowly parted and retreated.
Suddenly, with a jump, he flew directly over the police car, took off and landed back and forth between the corridors, and flew across the wall to the next destination, which was Youyi Avenue in the prosperous neighborhood of Bailu District.
There is the most famous spiritual material trading market in the entire city, and it is also the starting point of the Time Whale Incident.
Zheng Li, who was still in the room, laughed to himself and disappeared into the shadows.
"Oh, what am I afraid of? I'm afraid of a lot. But after today, I probably don't have to be afraid anymore."——
"Crack!"
A basin of ice water was poured on Xie Ying's head, causing him to wake up suddenly.
He stood up subconsciously, only to find that he had been tied to a bench. There were only candles in the room, and around him were his colleagues who were watching eagerly.
Due to the sudden power outage and chaos, the Disciplinary Inspection Office No. 9 was unable to bring Xie Ying back to Qiufeng District from Bailu District. In order to avoid accidents, they temporarily requisitioned a hotel.
Now that the Beheading Demon incident is a big deal, they naturally want to temporarily interrogate the "helpers" of the Beheading Demon.
"What time is it?"
But Xie Ying, who was all wet, asked questions as the first thing he said.
"I said, what time is it?"
To be continued...
