"Abominations visit! Abominations visit! Abominations visit!"

Li Shenzhi had just pushed open the door on the third floor when the bell hanging on the door frame suddenly screamed hysterically!

The round copper tongues collided wildly inside the bell, as if committing suicide!

The smiling front desk lady's expression froze.

"Bang Dang... Bang Dang..."

There was chaos on the third floor, and not long after, several security guards rushed out holding shotguns or revolvers.

"Landon?"

Everyone is stunned, why is it you again?

Li Shenzhi looked at the people rushing out with an embarrassed look and said, "Well, this must be a misunderstanding."

Sheriff Gold emerged from the crowd.

He looked at Langdon up and down with a stern look on his face, raised his head and said, "Go through the magic mirror."

Li Shenzhi nodded, took a deep breath, walked through the door, and walked to the magic mirror.

In the mirror, everything was normal for Langdon, except that the right pocket of his jacket suddenly became transparent, as if exposed to X-rays, and a maggot appeared, twisting and turning.

"What do you have in your pocket?" Gold looked wary.

Li Shenzhi, pretending to be a sheep, reached out and took out the enamel pocket watch from his pocket with a look of astonishment.

As he took out the enamel pocket watch, the maggots also moved.

——Apparently the anomaly that made the bell scream and the magic mirror manifest was this enamel pocket watch.

"Where did this come from?"

"A gift from a friend."

"when?"

"Probably the day before yesterday."

"All abnormal items that are no longer on file must be inspected by the Public Security Department before they can be returned to the individual! Do you know this rule?"

"I heard it from Mr. Saloch."

"That's good. You can put the things on the table first. We will return them to you after we have thoroughly investigated and determined that they are harmless."

Gold pointed to the eucalyptus table by the door.

"OK."

Li Shenzhi nodded, then put down the enamel color and sighed in his heart.

Although he had expected things to come to this point, it was hard to say whether it was a blessing or a curse.

According to the regulations of the Public Security Department, abnormal items obtained privately by security guards must be reported to the official for inspection and records.

After the official inspection and determine that it is harmless, it will be returned.

If it is confirmed to be a high-risk abnormal item, then sorry, the item must be temporarily detained.

Only when the security officer is strong enough to control this thing will he be eligible to take it back.

If the side effects of the item are too great, it will be confiscated directly. Bah, it should be taken into custody on its behalf.

Li Shenzhi dared to bring the enamel pocket watch precisely because he knew this rule and chose the lesser of two evils.

Now it seems that the Tudor Sheriff's Department is worthy of being the center of the country, and a screaming bell can be called a doorkeeper.

Back to topic.

After handing over the enamel pocket watch, Li Shenzhi was not freed. Instead, he was placed in an office and interrogated by a special person who asked him in detail about the origin of the enamel pocket watch.

Li Shenzhi did not hide anything and explained everything clearly.

After the explanation was completed, he was still not released and was considered to be under house arrest in disguise.

At about ten o'clock, Inspector Payne opened the door.

"Inspector Payne, is there anything wrong with that thing?" Li Shenzhi, who was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper boredly, quickly stood up and asked.

"It's not a big problem, but it is a bit troublesome." Pine came over and sat down next to Li Shenzhi, with a look of exhaustion on his face.

"what happened?"

"Do you know what that maggot is?" Pine said, holding the pipe in his mouth: "That's the cursed thing, the crawler's maggot."

Li Shenzhi suddenly looked confused when he heard this.

After some explanations from Inspector Payne, he finally figured out what this creeper was.

Unlike most abominations that have a clear racial origin, creepers are a handful of mutant monsters.

They are usually transformed from the corpses of human wizards.

The ancient book "The Devil's Banquet" writes:

——The souls of those who befriended the devil will not leave the corpse lying in the tomb soon. They will wait until the maggots bite the corpse. At this time, the dead mind will gain new life and a strange body.

This is the creeper!

They are composed of worms and maggots, but maintain human form and carry out the wizard's delusions and fantasies before his death.

The power of a creeper is very uneven, usually depending on the wizard's level in life.

What was sealed in Li Shenzhi's enamel pocket watch was a creeping maggot.

"The pocket watch is actually a miniature sealed magic weapon, with the Creeper's maggot sealed in it. The maggot always responds to the call of the body, so according to the guidance of the maggot, the Creeper can theoretically be found."

When Li Shenzhi heard this, his expression changed: "Can the creeper be used for inlay?"

Pine nodded: "That's where the trouble lies."

According to the regulations of the Sheriff's Department, anyone who independently discovers and captures an abomination can have the right to mount it.

Therefore, whoever obtains this enamel pocket watch may capture the Creeper.

However, the enamel pocket watch belongs to Li Shenzhi and was announced by screaming and ringing the bell, which interrupts the possibility of some people operating behind the scenes.

Unexpectedly, Li Shenzhi's identity gave some people opportunities to take advantage of him.

Although Li Shenzhi is a member of the Public Security Department, he is not a field security officer. In theory, he is not eligible to receive inlays.

Therefore, the process for disposing of the enamel pocket watch should be to hand it over to the Public Security Department, who would then compensate Li Shenzhi in cash or salary.

The Public Security Department then organized forces to capture the creeper, and then awarded the security officer with the highest merit based on seniority ranking.

Unexpectedly, things have changed subtly at this point.

"Currently, the person with the highest merit in the Tudor Sheriff's Department is in District 3, so our chief security officer wants to give you a chance."

"You have two choices now."

"One, voluntarily hand over the enamel pocket watch, and the Sheriff's Department will compensate you one thousand pounds."

"Two, immediately become a field security officer and complete the hunt for the creeper independently. Of course, our people will always follow you. Once the hunt is successful, you will immediately obtain the franchise and be promoted to the security patrol. If you fail, the creeper will return to the Public Security Department.

, you will gain nothing.”

With a serious look on his face, Pine pointed out the key points of the 14th District Public Security Bureau's protection.

"What's your suggestion? Mr. Payne." Li Shenzhi asked.

"I can't give you advice, I can only say that this is a rare opportunity. It will take at least ten years to follow the path of meritorious service, and it will take seven or eight years if you are lucky. This is not a matter of time, but whether you can survive.

Such a long-standing problem.”

Li Shenzhi nodded. In this world where evil spirits are rampant, no matter how low the frequency of anomalies occurs, the entire army may be wiped out once they hit one.

What's more, we need security guards who roam the dark side of society?

Putting aside these things, look at him, how many times have you bumped into him in Rebirth a week?

It’s simply crazy!

"However, judging from the level of pocket watch production, the maker's ability should be quite high. Theoretically, he can kill or even capture the creeper. If so, why would he bother to leave a scavenger?

As a guide?"

"So it is not difficult for us to guess that the creeper may not be low in strength, or there may be other unknown dangers. Therefore, the pocket watch maker had to seal a maggot first and leave it as a guide after sufficient preparation."

Pine pointed out the possible risks without hiding anything.

Li Shenzhi fell silent upon hearing this.

This is indeed a dilemma. If it were yesterday, he would have refused unceremoniously.

Just kidding, no matter how powerful the power is, it is not as tempting as "living".

but now……

"The Chief of Public Security has already brokered this for me. Wouldn't it be too foolish of me to refuse?"
