Edge of Pure Land

Chapter 28 The Corpse Cult Lurking in the City

Lu Fuji silently stared at the electric solution in the bottle, his eyes revealing a trace of longing and longing, but he also raised a soul torture: "What exactly is numerology?"

Lu Sixian explained without thinking: "To put it simply, the life energy of the evolver has hidden attributes. This attribute is the basis of numerology. As for how to condense numerology, it is to completely dig out the hidden properties in the body. This attribute forms the organizational structure.”

She tilted her head, her black hair flowing out like water: "Probably just like the human body's immune system or digestive system, your life energy will form a system after it undergoes qualitative changes."

This system is numerology.

Lu Fuji understood: "What is the astronomical system? Is it rare?"

"Celestial phenomena, such as thunder, wind, rain, fog, fire, light... are basically natural phenomena that humans can observe. One theory is that during the long process of evolution, humans have memorized these natural phenomena in It’s in the genes and manifested through the power of the sacred tree.”

Lu Sixian explained: "In addition, there are creation systems, such as rocks, metals, flowers, plants, trees, etc., which are also relatively rare. Next, there are enhancement systems, such as strong, swift, solid, perception, etc. . This is also the most common.”

So that’s it, it seems that Lu Fuji’s talent is very good!

“So how should I try to condense numerology?”

 He asked curiously.

Lu Sixian blinked his eyes: "During thunderstorms, while listening to thunder and seeing thunder, I try to practice the sacred rhythm, but the effect will not be very good. If possible, my brother can try to redeem the numerology chip that records the thunderstorm. Feel the power of thunder from a distance.”

“Is there a difference between a memory chip and a numerology chip?”

 Speaking of chips, Lu Buer remembered something.

 He dug out his trophies, two memory chips.

One of them was Luther's memory chip. When he touched it, a cold voice came to his mind: "Advanced chip, containing close combat skills!"

 This thing is useless to Lu Fuji.

 He was a little suspicious that this thing should be He Sai's.

 Throw it to him tomorrow.

The other one is Aoki's memory chip, and I feel a chill when I touch it.

“Is this a numerology chip?”

Lu Fuji stopped his hand as if he was electrocuted: "It's a pity that it's not a thunder type."

 That guy Aoki was a judge, and he might have been collecting things for his official duties. He might have planned to sell them, but he didn't expect to die in the warehouse today.

 Including the stack of merit votes, the total amount is two thousand and two.

At this stage, Lu Fujie has temporarily solved the crisis of survival, but it is obvious that there are black hands behind the scenes, and he may be targeted again one day.

 He must speed up his growth.

 Whether swallowing dark matter evolves.

 Or master the power of numerology as soon as possible and advance to the second realm.

“How can I resell these things and exchange them for the resources I need?”

 Lu Fuji's head felt like it was getting big.

"Brother, if you have someone you can trust, you can go to the underground black market to trade. There is a no-no zone in Linhai City, where contraband is traded. Many church members and federal officials will hide some things when they go out. . Some are antiques from five hundred years ago, and some are relics of evolvers who died in the restricted area of ​​life, and even materials from the White Walkers."

 Lu Sixian thought for a while and came up with a plan: "Including many caravans, they will also send some untradable contraband to the black market when entering and leaving the customs."

Lu Fuji looked at her deeply: "You know all this?"

Lu Sixian said calmly: "My family used to be on the black market."

 “But you know a lot.”

"Is it?"

Lu Fuji was silent for a moment. The little girl’s origin was definitely not simple. As a reservist, she knew too much, and she seemed to be the one who was being taught.

 “If nothing happens, I’ll help my brother make the bed.”

Lu Sixian obediently turned around and crawled back onto the bed. Her white nightgown highlighted her slim green curves, and her white ankles were exposed under the skirt, glowing with a porcelain white color.

Lu Fuji silently looked away. He realized that it was too inconvenient for the two brothers and sisters to be crowded in this small tent all the time. After all, men and women were different and they should have some privacy.

 Many things are inconvenient.

Taking this opportunity, he took out the last piece of loot.

 Aoki's arrest manual.

This seems to be an arrest manual used by the inquisitors of the Abnormal Supervision Administration to perform tasks. It records the wanted criminals with various crimes.

 Until he discovered that there was a list inside the manual.

 The list is still stained with blood.

Lu Fuji opened the folded list and was horrified.

Most of the people on this list were marked with a scarlet cross, which obviously meant that they had been executed, but there was one person among them who felt very familiar to him.

 He saw it a few days ago.

 Damn it!

That group of old priests in the heresy.

This guy can be said to be Lu Fuji’s first enemy five hundred years after his arrival.

This time, Lu Buer learned his name.

 “Name: John Moore.”

 “Gender: Male. Age: 79 years old. Race: White.”

 “Evolutionary level: the first level, the origin world.”

“He once served as the awakening priest of Temple No. 7 in Dongcheng District. Because his life span reached the limit, he sought extreme ways to extend his life. He was the mastermind of the Dongcheng Human Sculpture Murder Case. His mental state was extremely crazy. Later, he was bewitched by the Corpse Eater Cult during his escape and became a heretic.”

“The Cult of Corpse Food advocates the pursuit of eternal life, and regards the deformed appearance of evolutionary fallacy as beauty. It is unable to communicate and is extremely dangerous. Anyone who sees it will be killed!”

 After reading this part of the information, Lu Fuji fell into deep thought.

"It turns out that the church these people believe in is called the Corpse Food Cult, and has it become a heresy? But the strange thing is, since it is a heresy, why do the people behind Aoki conceal their existence and kill them all? Report it directly, no? Is it better?”

"This is probably something Aoki deliberately left behind. If he dies, it can also leave some clues to others. It can be regarded as a small revenge on the mastermind behind the scenes for abandoning him?"

 It’s a pity that there is no more information.

 What is known so far is that there is a shadow church inside and outside Linhai City.

 The name of this church is Corpse Food Cult.

The reason why Aoki appeared in the Land of the Past was most likely to hunt down these heretics. He just happened to find a group of cocoon breakers and saved them.

 But most importantly, Aoki made people erase their memories.

“This means that the person behind the Qingmu Behind the Scenes does not want the corpse-eating cult to escalate? However, the person behind the scenes wants to hunt down these corpse-eating cultists? What a contradiction.”

Lu Fuji rubbed his eyebrows. This matter seemed not as simple as imagined.

 Including his divine seed.

 The ability of this thing is simply unbelievable.

It is impossible for a first-level old and weak chicken like Lao Deng to master something of this level.

Really annoying.

Lu Buer wanted to get in touch with this church and find out the origin of the God's Seed, but he was worried about getting into trouble. He was caught in a dilemma: "Lu Sixian, Linhai, as an international metropolis, can it also be hidden?" With some criminal organization?”

Lu Sixian made the bed and nodded cutely: "Yes, because Linhai City is close to a place of death, it will attract explorers from all over the world to take risks. It is inevitable that some people will trade contraband and form a certain scale of criminal organizations. , but most of them are not on the table.”

Lu Fuji was silent for a moment: "Have you ever heard of the Corpse Food Cult?"

Lu Sixian thought hard for a moment, turned around expressionlessly, and said calmly: "I heard some urban legends when I was in the underground neighborhood. I heard that they were a group of people who fell into darkness and were also a group of people who were persecuted. People who yearn for revenge. They are eager for power and even transplant the flesh and blood of the White Walkers, but they are not qualified and their bodies have mutated..."

 “Transplanted with the flesh and blood of the White Walkers?”

 Lu Fuji was surprised. His seed of the gods could also swallow the power of the White Walkers.

 Sure enough, these things are all related.

 “Then what else do you know?”

Lu Fuji asked hurriedly.

Lu Sixian shook his head: "I don't remember."

Lu Fuji had no choice but to say: "Okay, go to sleep."

Lu Sixian is very well-behaved and goes to sleep when she says she wants to.

 Soon fell asleep on the bed.

 It was at this time that Lu Fuji picked up her shoes. There was fresh mud in the soles of the shoes.

Lu Fuji observed it carefully for a moment, then stretched out his hand to touch it, and finally compared it with the soil on the soles of his feet, and took a deep breath.

 Sure enough!

 Obviously, Lu Sixian has been out before.

This girl hides a deep secret. She was traumatized in her early years and came to the military as a reserve. Then she fell in love with him at a glance and continued to take risks to carry out secret activities.

Lu Fuji analyzed various clues and found that the reason why this little girl appeared in the warehouse before was probably because she wanted to track down the clues about the Corpse Cult!

As for why Lu Sixian wanted to hide it, this may not be her original intention.

 “Because of sleepwalking?”

Lu Fuji guessed that she might not have done it on purpose, because her information showed that she had suffered a severe brain injury. She was obviously sleepwalking when she was in the warehouse, as if she had inspired her inner potential personality. , will become aggressive.

 And this time she entered a state of sleepwalking, most likely to check for clues about the Corpse Food Cult. If you want to know all this, you must first understand the relationship between the Corpse Food Cult and her.

 “The Cult of Corpse Food.”

Lu Buer pondered: "Wait a minute, since the mastermind behind the scenes wants to conceal the existence of the Corpse Food Cult, then why don't I just expose it? The bigger the fuss about this matter, the better, maybe we can still fish in troubled waters." Get some benefits...Old man, just wait and sweat!”

He took out paper and pen and wrote down all the information about the Corpse Eater Cult. It was not until one o'clock in the morning that the severe cancer pain hit his mind again. He covered his forehead and tried his best to stay awake, and the strange rhythm of breathing and heartbeat continued. Start and enter a state of deep meditation.

At this moment, Lu Sixian, who should have fallen into a deep sleep, suddenly opened her eyes. Her pupils became strange and ferocious, and she silently took out a painting from her collar.

The painting shows a scrawled and dilapidated warehouse, with a shambling boy at the door, and a worker in overalls hiding in the corner, holding a dagger and trying to stab his heart.

If Lu Fuji saw this scene, he would probably be very shocked.

 Because the author of this painting seems to have predicted what would happen in the warehouse in some way, and then she would appear at the exact time and place to change everything.

Lu Sixian stood up indifferently and put the painting into the fireplace to burn. Then he cut his wrist with a piece of glass and dropped a drop of blood onto the young man's lips.

 I saw that Shika Fuji's originally seriously injured body was healing rapidly.

Lu Sixian saw that his injuries were almost healed, and then she lay back on the bed and fell asleep as if nothing could be done.

When thick smoke came out of the warehouse, the soldiers in the military camp finally discovered something was wrong. They hurriedly notified the fire brigade and quickly organized fire fighting.

 Power outage, fire.

Everyone can see that there is a connection between these two things.

Inquisitors from the Anomaly Supervision Bureau also arrived at the scene. Unfortunately, the fire burned too fiercely. After the fire was extinguished, only two blackened corpses were left. There were no traces left outside the warehouse, not even footprints could be found. .

 So they could only take away the charred corpses and take them back for identification.

From beginning to end, Instructor Kashiwagi stood at the back of the army, looking coldly at the two corpses being carried away, and a ridiculous idea came to his mind.

 “Perish together?”

How can it be.

 If they died together, who would handle the scene?

 Even the door is locked.

 “Is there a third person?”

Instructor Kashiwagi’s hair stood on end, as if there was a ghost staring at him from behind.

Watching his every move made him restless.

 The death of his nephew only made him feel a little regretful, but it was not unacceptable.

 Compared to being implicated, it is definitely a good thing.

But what makes people confused is that even though such a big thing happened, the Anomaly Supervision Bureau only sent a group of ordinary judges to clean up the scene. As for the notorious chief judge, he did not show up at all, and even Not even his close subordinates saw it.

This made Kashiwagi even more confused.

But now is not the time to think about this. He must pretend to know nothing and return to the military camp to report: "Major Yuan Qing, we have basically found out that an outsider has entered the camp through some way. , The identity of the deceased cannot be confirmed yet.”

 He paused: "After the inventory, Luther disappeared."

Yuan Qing raised her sharp eyes: "Who is Luther?"

　　Obviously, this young female major still cannot remember the soldiers under her command. After all, she has just arrived at the front line not long ago, and she is not very good at dealing with her subordinates, let alone the kind of rogue soldier with little quality and cultivation.

Instructor Kashiwagi replied: "My nephew."

“You mean, one of the deceased was Luther?”

Yuan Qing pulled up the relevant files from the tablet and said coldly: "A person who can sneak into the camp without anyone noticing, does not hesitate to use prohibited military supplies to interfere with the basic equipment of the camp, just to kill a worthless soldier. ruffian?"

Instructor Kashiwagi lowered his head and said nothing.

 If you only take Luther at face value, then this conclusion is indeed stupid.

Although Luther's apparent strength is more than this.

 But in Yuan Qing’s view, this is anti-aircraft artillery fighting mosquitoes.

 It’s pure nonsense.

"check."

Yuan Qing said coldly: "Check what Luther has done recently. If you don't have the brains, you can ask someone from the Anomaly Supervision Bureau to check. In short, I want an answer. If anyone dares to fool me, I’ll shoot someone’s head off with one arrow, do you understand?”

Instructor Baimu nodded slightly and gave a military salute: "Understood!"

 Abnormality Supervision Bureau, in the corridor of the morgue on the basement floor.

Longque sat tiredly in a wheelchair and smoked all night, with eyes that were so dark that people couldn't understand: "The heresy of distortion, the belief that deformity is beauty, the sacrifice that can pollute the cocoon of time, the attempt to pollute the tree of life , I think the wave of ghosts must be related to them."

 He said softly: "I have an ominous premonition."

Damon has been with this man for many years and knows his character very well.

Only when he is worried and stressed will he smoke non-stop.

 Until the ashtray is filled with cigarette butts.

Qiangwei walked out of the morgue and wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Sir, we have found out that the deceased are indeed Aoki and Luther. Luther was killed by Aoki, and Aoki was killed by a mysterious man. , a very classic mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind it. However, judging from the autopsy information, Aoki also struggled for a while before dying. "

Damon was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized: "This means that the mysterious person is not very strong and is in line with the characteristics of a real whistleblower."

The reason why the mysterious person reported the incident by framing the case is that he must have no ability to protect himself.

 Otherwise it would be impossible to be so cautious.

“If I’m not wrong, this mysterious man will have a showdown with me soon.”

 Longque raised his eyes: "Are there any other clues?"

Qiangwei hesitated for a moment and took out a photo: "On Qingmu's body."

 Damon took it and took a look and confirmed: "These are the scratches of the White Walkers."

Longque glanced at it and raised his eyebrows slightly.

“Sir, this person is most likely in the Third City Guard Corps. Do you want to find him?”

 After a long silence.

Longque shook his head: "It's not necessary. We don't want to interfere with this mysterious man's affairs. You go to the Third Temple immediately, find the old priest who enlightened those cocoon-breakers at that time, and retrieve the records of the day's entry and exit from the temple. Report and find out the mastermind as soon as possible.”

 At present, the mysterious man cooperates with him very well.

 When the time is right, the other party will show up on his own.

Hastily searching will only attract the attention of other forces.

As for Longque himself, his popularity in this city is not very good.

 So it’s better to follow this mysterious man’s ideas.

  Anyway, Longque has locked the range, there must be a way to get him out.

At this time, he suddenly remembered something: "Regarding the autopsy report, you should also do something about it. Apart from the scratches on the White Walkers, don't leave other clues to others."

Qiangwei and Damon were stunned. The officer was trying to cover up the mysterious man.

“If we don’t investigate, the Third City Guards will too. Especially the Yuan family. People in their family always like to be more serious, especially when something like this happened in their own camp..."

Long Que waved his hand and stubbed out the cigarette **** in his hand: "With the brains of the Yuan family, it's okay to charge into the battle, but investigate the case... forget it. You will send the revised report tonight, I would like to take a look, With that little girl Yuan Qing’s brain, what can she find out?”

  ·

  ·

 That night, the autopsy report from the Anomaly Supervision Bureau was sent to the headquarters of the Third City Guard.

Major Hara Qing attached great importance to it. Combining the clues in the warehouse with the newly obtained autopsy report, she came up with a conclusion that shocked the entire military:

 —There is a White Walker hidden in the third city guard’s station!

Recommendations and monthly votes are requested!
