Bulwark of Light

Chapter 78 Confession
After ten o'clock in the middle of the night, the river beach is the busiest place in most of the city.

Young men and women gather here... Driven by heavy metal music and alcohol, hormones grow wildly, here you can release all the pressure of the day, listen to the most instinctive instructions of the soul, and find the wildness and desire in the blood .

Continue walking along the river beach, those noises that seem to be able to shatter the long night will gradually dissipate, only the sound of the wind in the middle of the night, and the white noise of the waves of the river, the whole world will fade away from the extremely impetuous noise, Turned into a quiet and dark picture scroll.

Dadu District and Yinghai District face each other across this Hengjiang River.

Everything is silent on the other side of the river.

This side of the river is the city that never sleeps.

"How long will we go?"

Qushui led the way and walked for a long time along the river beach.

Gu Shen looked back, those flickering lights had disappeared in the night, and he couldn't see clearly, there was a long dark night before and after.

"It's almost there."

With her hands behind her back, Qu Shui was in a good mood, bouncing and leading the way, she made a big jump and stood still, "Well... it seems to be here."

Several bridges have been built along the river beach, and protective measures have been added to the corresponding banks. However, the pedestrian passages of the anti-skid dikes under the bridges will be drilled at a distance, and painted with white paint as marks... "1", "2", "3"...

"number 97."

Qu Shui stared earnestly at the cave under the bridge, "That's where I... met him."

Gu Shen frowned.

It is said to be on the river beach... But it is actually considered a remote area with no people in it, and this kind of cave dwelling, no one would pay more attention to it. I am afraid that only homeless people and stray cats and dogs will spend the night here.

However, judging from the behavior style of that Foundation believer... it is not impossible to live here.

He has evaded the detection of the deep sea for so long, he must have a special shelter.

"You wait here for me for a while."

After giving some instructions, Gu Shen entered the cave alone.

The cave dwelling was very damp, and as soon as one stepped in, a strong stench came oncoming, and the environment could not be seen clearly in the dark, but there should be a lot of garbage piled up here, and the smell of feces... unexpectedly, there were actually people or animals living there.

There was no sound outside the cave.

It seemed that Qu Shui was obediently waiting outside.

Gu Shen silently ignited the blazing fire between his brows, looked around the cave, and said softly in his heart: "Profiling... activate!"

The moment the fire was ignited, the world in Gu Shen's eyes was no longer dark, and a bright light was lit in his heart. He looked around and saw the environment in the darkness clearly. It is very narrow, with a circular vault, and the ground is full of loose and shaken dirt and dirt. There are indeed homeless people living here, and the food waste thrown on the ground has stinks and is half-buried.

But as Gu Shen looked up.

A creepy feeling immediately exploded from the back.

The fresh rancid smell, mixed with moist and irritating air, rushed into the nostrils.

This smell is continuously emanating from the stone wall of the cave three meters away... On the narrow mud and stone wall, several large iron nails are nailed to hang a dry skeleton. The skin has rotted, but the bone is still intact.

In the world of profiling, there is a piece of tranquility.

The darkness was expelled by the blazing fire, the dirty environment of the cave dwelling was as bright as day, and the spiritual force pushed the time back slowly. The flesh and blood of the skeleton on the wall gradually changed from dry to plump, and the head no longer drooped. Gu Shen saw a corner of it. reflection.

At that time, "he" hadn't died yet, and once screamed and vented in despair.

Time goes backwards like this——

Until a familiar, petite figure appeared in the field of vision.

In the profiling world, she was left with only a dark shadow, without facial features or voice.

She turned her head slowly, looking at Gu Shen's position through the reversed time and space.

At this moment, Gu Shen's mind was almost blank.

Rationality drives thinking, and blazing sparks burst out in an instant.

Thoughts flashed back.

In the frozen time, Gu Shen felt that the profile of the cave dwelling was fading, and his consciousness seemed to have come to a grand hall for storing memories. Above the hall hung an inverted sword burning with blazing bright fire. My memories are organized and categorized, just like a precious collection of picture scrolls. As long as you open it yourself, the memories will be replayed like a movie.

The first scroll screen is Hu Danian whispering solemnly during the meeting at the bar:
【"This week, in the remote corners of Lipu Street and the river beach, several dead people appeared. They were all adult males. They all died of cutting their throats with clean and sharp instruments."】

【"At the wound...the extraordinary aura was detected."】

The second volume is a picture of direct contact with long-term foundation believers:

【"Fuck the new era!】

【"Long live the Everlasting Foundation!"】

At the end of this picture scroll, with a shout of anger, the Foundation believers who came with the stone sculpture of Sumu were blown to pieces...

In order to ensure the assassination, this believer used high explosives and spiritually sealed items, but he never used his own extraordinary ability... because he was not an extraordinary person at all.

Since the Jiangtan Murderer case coincided with the time of the insomnia incident, Hu Danian was misled... He focused his investigation on finding the out-of-control person with extraordinary aura, but the truth is, the assassin who carried the Sumu stone carving , just an ordinary person.

This is a coincidence.

No wonder... When I linked the Jiangtan murder incident with the Sumu Stone Carving insomnia incident, I always felt that something was wrong.

The portraits of the two murderers overlapped and did not match.

The last flashback scene in the Temple of Memory.

It was when I opened the door of the clinic cubicle for the first time and delivered hot tea.

Zhihuo sensed a disturbing extraordinary aura... He happened to see the pocket watch on Zhou Yexin.

Now that I think about it, I realize the real reason for my uneasiness...it wasn't because of that pocket watch.

According to Zhou Yexin's dream, it can be inferred that the pocket watch is a kind and lawful sealed item, and the last faint breath is just adhering to the belief of "burn everything to protect the master".

Blazing Huo's real anxiety came from... the second person in the room at that time.

Qushui.

The profiling world is as bright as day, and the time back to the origin is reversed, and the flow rate finally returns to normal.

The rewind button was cut off, switching to normal playback.

A thin girl dragged a tall man into the cave... The man struggled weakly, but could only sit on the stone wall.

The two "snuggled" together and talked a lot.

Gu Shen's current mental strength is limited. In the profile world, apart from seeing a rough silhouette that symbolizes the outline of the body...he can't get any more information. However, judging from the stiff body movements of the silhouette, it is not difficult to guess that it is a girl. All the while talking, men are forced to listen.

At last……

Like a sweet couple, the girl got very close and said the last words of love.

She took a pair of scissors from her pocket.

Aims cleanly at the throat.

A knife.

The profile ended, and the cave world returned to darkness.

Gu Shen looked at the hanging skeleton in silence, the wounds were completely consistent with those of the deceased in the Jiangtan murder case, the neck was cut off with a sharp instrument, clean and neat.

Because it is too remote, it has not been discovered yet.

Suddenly, a voice sounded beside my ear.

"Little Doctor Gu..."

The hairs on Gu Shen's back exploded, and at some point, there was another person in the cave.

The voice was only twenty centimeters away from him, and a petite figure was almost standing against his back.

The voice was gentle and sad, like an abandoned kitten, "There is something... I wanted to tell you last time..."

"I like you... the first time I saw you... I liked you..."

The voice whispered like a dream.

"Would you...would you like to be my boyfriend?"
