The old residential buildings that have survived from the last century to the present are full of messy narrow alleys, stinky and decayed walls, like an old monster in the center of the city, no one wants to approach.

Hua Wen didn't feel any discomfort, and walked freely among the residential buildings. This place was very similar to the old house of Yan's family in the first world, and he felt a little kind when he came in to visit.

After going up to the third floor and knocking on an old door full of rust, a frail middle-aged woman showed her head timidly: "Who...who?"

Huawen showed a kind smile: "Auntie, hello, I am Gao Rong's friend, and I came to visit him." He shook the fruit in his hand, and put his foot against the crack of the door without any trace.

Just as the woman was about to refuse, a weak voice came from the room: "Mom, let him in, it's okay."

The door squeaked and opened slowly. There was only a dim energy-saving lamp on the top of the dark room, and no windows were opened. The smell of disinfectant and rotten pungent spread, like the mouth of a dying beast. , There is an old sofa in the palm-sized living room, and a person is wrapped in a quilt and sitting on it, panting weakly.

The smell of decadence and death is everywhere.

"Mom, go shopping for vegetables, I want to drink fish soup." The man on the sofa spoke softly, but the voice seemed to come from a broken bellows, leaking the little air left in his lungs.

The middle-aged woman looked at the painting with concern, hesitated for a while before picking up the vegetable basket, and walked away with three steps.

"Drawing police officer, come in and sit down."

Huawen didn't sit down, and looked at the man's face thinned into a skeleton by the dim light, and said calmly: "I let you reunite with your mother before you die, you should fulfill your promise, Gao Rong."

The young man named Gao Rong showed a pale and creepy smile, and nodded: "I will tell you, let me think about it, how should I tell you...about Brother Du."

The sick and dying person in front of him is Gao Rong, the boy who betrayed Zhang Hedu back then.

He had died not long after he was arrested, and Huawen knew that this drug dealer came into his eyes when he was sorting out the files of the mission of encircling and suppressing drug production dens when Zhang Hedu returned.

"This person is the Erwu boy who almost exposed 'Doutou' three years ago. When he was arrested, he kept saying that someone would harm 'Dutou'," said a colleague from the task force who was sorting out with him. He obviously didn't believe Gao Rong thought it was a threat, so he sneered, "Isn't he the one who almost killed 'Dutou'?"

At that time, Huawen kept a secret in his heart, this Gao Rong might know something inside.

The day before Zhang's father and Zhang mother's funeral, Huawen went to the Gaorong Detention Center to ask him what he knew.

Gao Rong sells and takes drugs. He has already exhausted his life and is about to reach the end, but when faced with the interrogation of the pictorial text, he refuses to open his mouth. There is only one request: let him go home before he dies, and be able to see everyone. see mother.

Gao Rong was penniless, and his family couldn't provide a penny for bail, and Huawen couldn't ask a sick man who was passively resisting why, so he privately lent him money so that he could go home on bail.

"I want to thank you, Police Officer Hua. I just want to go home, and I can't bear to part with my mother." Gao Rong gasped for three breaths before finishing his sentence, tears streaming from his dry eyes, "I will tell you All I know..."

Zhang Hedu used to be an undercover agent in Gao Rong's gang. Because he was a sentinel and had some abilities, he was promoted to a higher level. Like all the little bosses, he took in younger brothers, including Gao Rong.

Gao Rong was only 19 years old at the time, and he came out to hang out without knowing anything, and ended up getting infected with this harmful thing, and could never go back, so he had to sell it and smoke it.

After Gao Rong was taken in by Zhang Hedu, he actually admired him a lot. He felt that Zhang Hedu was a formidable elder brother and a sentinel with extraordinary abilities. He stood out from the crowd among the mob.

After following him for two years, Gao Rong, who has always been shrewd, gradually found out that something was wrong with him. Zhang Hedu often left everyone behind and acted alone. Once there was a trading place where he appeared, it would always be exposed, and from time to time, people he didn't know would come up with him. After talking on the phone, out of curiosity, Gao Rong began to spy on his whereabouts privately, and noticed something unusual.

At that time, he didn't tell anyone, maybe because Zhang Hedu took good care of him in life, he just thought that Zhang Hedu should be black and white, and he couldn't be involved.

But what he didn't expect was that after seeing Zhang Hedu meeting outsiders, Gao Rong was taken away by a man in black on the way back.

The man was wearing a mask and couldn't see his face clearly. He only knew it was a man. He gave him something for fun and tempted him to inform him.

"You...you want me to sue our Brother Du?" Gao Rong, who was already dizzy, waved his hand at the man in black, "No, no, Brother Du didn't commit any serious crimes. Doing so will kill him! If he finds out, I will be the one to die!"

The man in black grabbed him by the collar, and Gao Rong saw a blue-black spider tattoo on his arm. This man was thin and not very strong, but Gao Rong found that he couldn't break free no matter what. It was as if there was a voice in his head telling him not to move around.

"Aren't you going? I can help you too, but after helping you, whether you will still be alive... I'm not sure." The man in black kept staring at him, his eyes seemed to have a whirlpool , Gao Rong's back felt cold and he felt dizzy.

"You and Brother Du... have any grudges or grievances! It's none of my business!" Gao Rong tried to struggle, but his body didn't seem to be his own, and he couldn't move at all.

"We don't have any enmity, I just can't understand him, he acts like a hypocrite, as if doing so can save you scum, a person like him can still have such a good fortune... Oh, it's ridiculous .”

Gao Rong didn't understand what he was talking about, and felt that his body and consciousness were becoming more and more strange, and a strong sense of nausea came over him, so he had no choice but to verbally agree.

Gao Rong is an ordinary person, so he naturally didn't know that this reaction was caused by his inability to accept the coercion of Gao Qiang's mental power. That is to say, the man in black has very strong mental power, and there is something weird about his mental power.

"Don't! I... I'll think about it... I will definitely!"

The man in black patted him on the back and laughed: "It's good if you know how powerful you are, go ahead, sell it, go betray it, oh yes, does your family live in District X? Do you want me to wait a while?" How about going to greet your old mother?"

Gao Rong was really scared now, he didn't know what terrible person he had offended, so he knelt down and begged him not to do that, then stumbled and ran away.

What he was most afraid of was that something would happen to his mother, so he had no choice but to go to the boss to report the secret, and watched Zhang Hedu being dragged in and tortured.

Fortunately, Zhang Hedu's suspicion was cleared in the end, and the boss no longer doubted her, and changed hands to execute Gao Rong. The injured Zhang Hedu stood in front of him and said that he would handle it.

Gao Rong thought he would die in the hands of Zhang Hedu, after all he did such a nasty thing, but no, Zhang Hedu didn't kill him, he just took him away, beat him up, and left him to fend for himself up.

"I'm content to live to this day. Brother Du is a good man," Gao Rong curled up on the sofa and wrapped the quilt tightly around his body. The weather that wasn't too cold had already made him shiver, " That day, the day we were all arrested, I saw that man, the man in black with the spider tattoo, he obviously stood far away and didn't speak, but I heard his voice, right next to my ear..."

Gao Rong seemed to be terrified by the memory, his bloodless lips trembling non-stop: "He said...he would let Brother Du taste the taste of being destroyed..."

Huawen took a deep breath, slowly stood up straight, and said to Gao Rong, "This is all you know?"

Gao Rong nodded hurriedly, like a frightened bird: "All, I don't know who he is, like a god of death, he doesn't directly attack, he likes to torture people's weaknesses, I'm sorry for Brother Du, I didn't do it for my mother at the time." Method……"

Huawen also felt that there was a trace of cold sweat on the back of his neck. This perverted killer didn't directly kill the target, but repeatedly tortured the victim's weakness, and he still had such a strong mental power. Could it be a psychologically twisted sentinel?

That was all I could get, Huawen didn't say much, and left Gao Rong's house silently, Gao Rong was still panting in panic, and was terrified just by the memory.

Judging by his appearance, he should not have a few days to live. This may be the last time they meet.

After coming out of the old residential building, the sky was getting darker, and the sparsely populated old town was filled with many people returning home at this time, and it became a bit lively.

Huawen hurried back. He wanted to try to go back to the city bureau today to check for clues about the tattooed man, but he didn't find a figure flashing past the alley behind him.

Before he reached the parking place, Huawen suddenly felt something flash past his ear, as if someone was whispering softly in his ear, he turned his head suddenly, but there was no one nearby.

Cold sweat poured down his back, Huawen felt it with the instinct of a guide, a strange spiritual power spread nearby, like a sticky spider web entangled people tightly, making people give up struggling, nerve paralysis, exhausted, die slowly...

That person...maybe really appeared!

Huawen immediately turned around, searched around with his eyes, and notified the police force, the appearance of this tattooed man, there will definitely be a murder!

At this moment, there was a commotion from a vegetable market not far away. It seemed that something had happened. A voice yelled "Someone committed suicide", as if a bomb had been dropped in a fish pond, and the crowd rioted instantly. up.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Huawen quickly ran over to evacuate the crowd, and ran towards the place with the most onlookers.

"Give way! Stop watching!" Huawen kept calling, "Be careful stepping on! Spread out!"

After finally breaking through the last layer of people and squeezing into the scene of the incident, his eager steps suddenly froze.

The person in front of him lying in a pool of blood was none other than someone he had seen just now—Gao Rong's mother.

The middle-aged woman dressed in gray and blue lay on the ground in embarrassment, blood flowed from her neck, her eyes were dull looking at the sky, and there was crucian carp that Gao Rong wanted to eat in the vegetable basket thrown to the side.

Huawen hurriedly squatted down to check, he was out of breath, and looked around, everyone was terrified and excited, pointing at the corpse, it seemed that there was no suspicious person.

Standing up, he showed his police officer ID, and asked nearby witnesses, "Did anyone see what happened here?"

People chattered, and an uncle who sells fish shook his apron and proved that he was the first witness with his voice: "Listen to me! I am a fish seller here, and I was killing fish at the time. , I saw this woman walking unsteadily with a pair of scissors, and I felt that something was going to happen. Before I could call her to stop, I saw her pick up the scissors and stab her in the neck! It was so scary !"

"Is there anything you can't bear to think about and want to commit suicide here?!"

"Using scissors? It's too scary! Who can do it?"

"Oh, he just died in front of my shop, how can I do this business!"

The voices of the people boiled up, Huawen couldn't listen to their complaints anymore, this kind of suicide was too weird, how could such a good-looking person suddenly do such a move in the middle of the downtown?

He clearly remembered that at Gao Rong's house not long ago, Gao's mother was just a very ordinary woman, she didn't have any abnormal reactions, and her mental state was not bad. It was impossible for her to commit suicide suddenly. who!

Huawen squatted down again, and without destroying the corpse, wrapped his hands in his sleeves and carefully looked around the corpse.

[Master Instructor, here is a brief science introduction for you. Some spiritual bodies will leave marks after passing through the human body, and you can use your spiritual body to detect them. 】

"My spiritual body? Just those few fireflies?" Huawen couldn't bear to call it out. A few luminous bugs were shining weakly, and the kind that would disappear after a few strokes seemed to be extinguished in the next moment. generally.

[The spirit of the guide is not as fragile as you think. Although most of the harmless animals are more tenacious than real animals, at least you don’t have to worry about your fireflies dying. They can interact with yours. Life is as long. 】

"Actually, I hope they can live longer in this world than me..."

Close your eyes and mobilize your mental power quietly, and the faint fluorescent light that ordinary people can't see flickers around the picture.

The strong smell of blood interfered with many clues, and the painting made a few light and glowing bugs gradually approach the head of the corpse. The next moment, it seemed to be stuck by something, and stopped on the hair of the corpse, unable to move.

With weak mental strength, Huawen saw that a small piece of spiritual body residue adhered to the hair of the corpse—it was a gray-white spider web, which was wrapped around the neck of the corpse like a thin rope.

These spider webs are like the strings of marionettes, controlling the human body, leading to death step by step.

Recalling the surveillance he saw on Zhang Hedu's phone before, he just felt horrified. Without his knowledge, Zhang's father and mother were sent to hell by "himself" in a taxi, just like Gao Rong's Like a mother, "by herself" cut off her own way of life——

All the people who have been manipulated in this way are dead, but why is he the only one who is still alive?
