Xia Ren is in a good mood, and is very satisfied with the harvest of entering the dreamland this time. Of course, all of this comes from Pickman's assistance.

"Is there anything else?" He looked at the other party with expectant eyes.

"No more." Pickman said without hesitation.

Xia Ren sighed, a little regretful: "It's really gone? Think about it again, is there any treasure you didn't give me to the ghoul?"

It seemed that he was unwilling to leave if he didn't scrape something anymore. Pickman just wanted him to leave quickly, so he said nonsense: "Boy urine can cause a little damage to ghouls, just a little, you can try."

"You are a good person."

If it wasn't for the urgent time, Xia Ren would have thought of pulling him to sit down and have a drink or two, but now is obviously not a good opportunity.

He put down Codex Ghoul and got up to say goodbye.

McClane wanted to send him off, but Xia Ren declined.

The other end of the channel connecting fantasy and reality is the painting. He didn't want to eat hot pot and sing at home that day, and suddenly a large group of ghouls ran out of the painting to visit the door. The scene was exciting just thinking about it.

Leaving the underground labyrinth according to the route in memory, Xia Ren set foot on the endless bones at the bottom of Nas Valley again, and left the dreamland along the same path.

After he left, McClane looked at Pickman suspiciously: "Do you know that human?"

"I know, of course I know, but that was a long time ago."

Pickman sighed, lit his cigarette, and recalled the past.

Pickman, who was still in human form, was aware of his difference from an early age, and he almost instinctively craved corpses and forbidden knowledge that could drive people mad.

But at the same time, he also cherishes the family around him very much. After realizing that he is special, in order not to affect his parents and brother, he chose to leave home alone and reduce contact with family members.

During this period, he experienced the death of his parents, his elder brother married a wife, and then gave birth to little Teresa. Pickman could only watch their lives from a distance, but dared not approach them.

As he grew older, his instinctive call became stronger and stronger. Finally, he was inspired to find the ancient well in the basement. After hesitating for many days, he still chose to go in and face the terrible truth.

In the well is another world, full of bones and ugly monsters that have been seen countless times in dreams, but Pickman feels very close to them.

He got his wish to know his life experience, he is a... ghoul.

After a brief contact with the same kind, Pickman returned to reality through the ancient well, but learned that his brother's family had all died, and his best friend Elliott was also missing.

If I hadn't entered the ancient well at that time, I could have prevented the tragedy from happening.

Since then, endless regret and remorse have been with Pickman and become his heart disease.

Until half a year ago, a man found him and said straight to his face:

"Hi, I'm your sister-in-law."

……

……

Consciousness returned to the body, Xia Ren threw the painting aside, looked at the time, and found that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

He immediately jumped out of bed and went to find Niu Changshou while stepping on his slippers.

Lily followed behind him, and the tail of her white skirt fluttered as she walked, which was very beautiful.

Seeing Xia Ren rushing over, Niu Changshou was a little surprised: "What clue did you think of?"

Xia Ren said solemnly, "Where is Ansenburg City? I have to get there tonight."

The night of the Dark Ceremony will start two days later, but the area of ​​Blue Star is so vast, there is a time difference between continents, and no one knows which continent the Dark Ceremony will be held in. Then there is only one and a half days left.

Considering that it will take time to rush on the way, he must get the tickets for the Dark Festival tonight!

Chapter 557 The bait is myself 】

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the plane landed at the airport. Among the crowds at the gate of the airport, there were three people who attracted the attention of all passers-by.

The girl's long emerald green hair hung down her back, her hair was as smooth as satin, her face was beautiful, her small nose was slightly straight, and her red lips with a faint smile were enough to make people forget all their worries.

She was wearing a long white dress, the skirt spread out like a lotus flower, revealing her white ankles, her delicate jade feet stepped on a pair of transparent sandals, and her steps seemed to be light on the clouds.

In front of the girl is a man with a stern expression. His appearance is enough to capture the hearts of all women in an instant, and even men will have a great affection for this face.

The man didn't have any superfluous expressions. Under his sword-shaped eyebrows, his eyes, as deep as the sea, always looked straight ahead, and his steps were firm and powerful.

Although the other man beside them was good enough, compared to them, it was like a gift that came with a purchase, and lost its color.

As they walked all the way, passers-by subconsciously gave way. Even the most confident people would feel ashamed if they stood with them.

This group of people is Xia Ren, Lili, and Wagyu Changshou.

Fortunately, the city of Ansenburg was not too far away, and they finally arrived here by plane before evening.

At this time, the sun had already set, but part of the afterglow still diffused towards half of the sky, rendering the clouds and the tops of the tall buildings in the city golden yellow, and the stars had already emerged, becoming embellishments on the other half of the sky, adorning the coming night.

"What are we going to do next?" Niu Changshou asked as he walked.

On the way here, Xia Ren had already sorted out his goal: "First check the missing persons in this city."

Even if he wanted to be picked up, he had to find the right place. In a city as big as this, he couldn't just lie down on the side of the road, right?

As long as ghouls and witches take action, no matter how cautious they are, they will inevitably leave traces. You only need to check the missing persons records to know which area is abnormal, and the success rate will be higher.

They went directly to the police station in Ansonburg, where there were already employees from the logistics department waiting for their arrival, and the relevant case files and data had also been prepared.

At this time, it was completely dark, and Xia Ren didn't drink a sip of water. He sat down and began to read the missing persons report in Ansenburg City.

The result surprised him. There were close to 500 missing persons cases registered within one year alone. The total population of Ansonburg City is only 500 million, which means that one person goes missing for every [-] people every year.

And then look down, the recovery rate is more than 40.00%, less than 50.00%, even so, there is one missing person in every 1000 people who has never been heard from.

The missing rate of [-] in [-] is too terrible. This probability is even higher than the average probability of car accidents. However, you must know that most people in car accidents will not endanger their lives, but no one knows what will happen to the missing people. terrible thing.

"Is this number normal?"

Xia Ren asked the logistics staff next to him.

The staff of the Foundation's logistics department basically have part-time jobs in the Arbitration Court, so they know much more about these situations than he does.

The man nodded: "This is normal, and some other cities are more serious than this."

Xia Ren frowned, said nothing, lowered his head and continued to read the documents in his hand.
