Indescribable cyberpunk

Clean bedding.

Spotless floors.

There are also neatly arranged furniture and various objects.

As a bedroom for a 68-year-old man, it was surprising how clean it was.

However, as a victim's bedroom, this is undoubtedly unqualified!

"Didn't you tell the families of the victims to protect where there might be some valuable information?"

With some annoyance, Olivia pulled the policeman into the room, closed the bedroom door, avoided the young couple guarding the door, and scolded them in a low voice.

"Sir, I assure you that as soon as the police confirmed the identity of the deceased, they told the family to preserve all the belongings of the deceased as much as possible. I did not expect that they would start cleaning the room because they waited too long. Because the deceased also had a wife who was not too young, looking at the original arrangement will remind her of her late husband."

The policeman argued with some embarrassment that the behavior of the deceased's family added a lot of trouble to the operation, but if they really wanted to talk to them, they would not open their mouths. After all, the family wanted another old man to continue living.

"Let's work separately. You are in charge here, and I will go to the painter's place to take a look."

Zhu Jue raised his hand and wiped it across the door frame, and he could even feel a touch of moisture on his fingertips. He didn't know if it was due to the weather or if it had just been cleaned before they came.

No matter what, it should be impossible to get more information here, and it would be a waste of time for two people to waste time here.

"Okay, I'll take you right now."

"You don't have to follow me, Olivia. Send me the address. I'll go there by myself and take a look at the surroundings."

Rejecting the policeman's idea of ​​giving him a ride, Zhu Jue directly opened the door and walked out. He happened to meet the couple walking upstairs carrying three cups of steaming coffee.

"Sir, we made coffee for you. Although it's not high-end, it tastes pretty good."

The woman with a somewhat plump figure held a cup of coffee, handed it to Zhu Jue with both hands, and twitched the corners of her mouth, as if she wanted to smile, but she could not smile, but there were a few wrinkles and ravines at the corners of her mouth, which made her expression Looks a little stiff.

"Thank you. Hiss~"

Zhu Jue reached out to take the coffee cup, but the moment he touched it, he was burned by the hot cup wall. He took a breath and turned to hold the bottom of the cup.

Zhu Jue's strong physical fitness prevented him from letting go of the coffee cup. He only looked at the woman's slightly red fingers with some confusion.

Doesn't she feel hot?

Zhu Jue, who was rushing to the painter's residence, did not dwell too much on this issue. He took a few sips of the coffee and let the slightly bitter taste linger in his mouth, boosting his mood that was dull due to the bad weather.

Putting on the raincoat that he had just taken off, he stepped out into the heavy rain outside.

Olivia sent the map of the painter's residence to Zhu Jue's mobile phone. It was some distance away, but not very far. The heavy rain did not cause much hindrance to Zhu Jue. When he was alone, he secretly moved the map. The scavenger summoned his feet to form roller skates like roller skates, and his speed was not slow.

About twenty minutes later, a single-family villa that looked more upscale than the previous residence appeared in front of Zhu Jue. The police were right as they said before. The residence chosen by the painter was really remote.

Unlike other residents in the town who generally build their houses on relatively dry highlands in the swamp forest, the painter's residence is actually next to the swamp lake. The house is a suspended structure, with the bottom two to three meters away from the ground. .

To the right of the house is a swamp lake, and a building that looks like a private port. There are speedboats docked. However, judging from the lack of rainproof arrangements on top and the duckweed accumulated around the boats, it seems that they have been stored here. old.

On the left side was dense vegetation, with numerous unknown vines covering half of the wall and even covering half of the windows.

As he walked up the stairs outside the house, the wooden boards under his feet creaked. Zhu Jue looked at the closed curtains inside the house and quickened his pace.

Click~

The sound of branches breaking!

Zhu Jue, who had just walked to the front door, heard an unusual noise. He immediately turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound. Behind the bushes a few meters away on the left, there was a pale face looking over here!

The eyes of both parties met in the rain, and there was a momentary pause. The next second, Zhu Jue pressed his palm on the railing, jumped down, and ran straight towards the man. The latter did not wait where he was, but turned around and ran away.

Needless to say, Zhu Jue ran at full speed, like a cheetah running through the forest. The bushes or muddy roads along the way could not hinder his pace, and the distance between the two parties closed at an extremely fast speed. .

Seeing that he couldn't run away, the person in front turned around again and already had an extra gun in his hand. He was panting heavily, rainwater splashing out along with the hot air. He stared at Zhu Jue and shouted in a deep voice: "Police, hold your head with both hands and squat down." !”

"Are you a policeman?"

Following his roar, Zhu Jue, who was about to take action, froze, then stepped forward again and said as he walked,

"Even if you want to find a reason, please find a reasonable one. If you are a policeman, why are you running? Besides, the gun in your hand is not the police station's standard pistol at all. And your ID is there. It's easy to pretend to be a policeman these days. Is it enough to just use your mouth?”

boom!

Gunshots rang out in the rain, not from the front, but from the swamp forest on the side. Zhu Jue turned sideways, and a hot bullet passed in front of him.

Any accomplices?

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Jue rushed towards the person in front. Zhu Jue was ready to take down the suspicious guy first. However, what Zhu Jue didn't expect was that the target used the opening gained by the gunfire to jump directly to the side. swampy lake.

"Oh, do you really think of yourself as a mermaid?"

Zhu Jue looked at the ripples on the lake that had not yet dispersed, and made a fishing rod-throwing motion with his right hand. Although there was no fishing rod in his hand, there was still a "fishing line" being thrown out.

The "fishhook" transformed into a scavenger fell into the river. It did not need any bait, because it would find the target by itself. It only took a few seconds. Zhu Jue thought that the man who jumped into the lake must not be able to swim very far. Standing there Start sensing on the shore and want to lock the opponent's position as quickly as possible.

Buzz! ! !

The early warning buzz that suddenly appeared in Zhu Jue's mind forcibly interrupted his perception. The scavenger who had just been thrown out lost Zhu Jue's order and just blindly shuttled through the lake, looking for the target who didn't know where he had gone.

"Where exactly?"

With some indescribable and disgusting feeling rushing into his mind, Zhu Jue gritted his teeth and looked around with a low growl.

Zhu Jue had only encountered such a strong warning buzzing sound a few times. At this time, he had completely given up on sensing the person just now, and instead began to look for the presence that suddenly appeared to disturb him.

at some point.

When he cast his eyes towards the swamp forest in the distance, he saw that existence.

It emerged in a forest. A huge number of spikes that still seemed to exude a dark brown metallic luster even in the rain stretched out from the lake. Zhu Jue was convinced that this was just a part of the main body hidden under the lake. So he opened his eyes wide, as if he wanted to see through the rain curtain and completely memorize the guy's appearance.

However, this was just Zhu Jue's wishful thinking. As soon as he noticed the existence of that place, the latter began to slowly sink into the lake.

The whole process takes no more than 10 seconds.

Eventually everything calmed down.

Only the heavy rain remains!
