Infinite Throne

   Chapter 136 Hunting and Killing Apostles (recommendation ticket)

Yo?

   is Zhao Yulong.

  Irin glanced at the constantly flashing avatar on the communication channel.

   I didn't expect Zhao Yulong to be quite efficient.

but-

   How did he know so quickly?

   Is he also in Haiting City?

   Shouldn't it be?

   Yi Rin thought about it, ignoring Li Changge who was chatting beside him, and opened the chat window with Zhao Yulong.

  …

   Zhao Yulong: Cough.

  Irin: ?

   Zhao Yulong: I just ask casually, ask casually, don’t take it to heart. You shouldn't read the forum, right?

  Irin: I haven't watched it for two hours, why?

   Zhao Yulong: That's good! Hey, there are a few things these days, you know, the work of the special team, but the team leader has already handed it over to others. Although it's a bit sudden to tell you now, but your level... is not suitable for this muddy water.

  Irin: Muddy waters? Which trip?

  Zhao Yulong: Something happened in Haiting City, forget it, I'll tell you later, you don't need to pay attention to this matter for the time being, if your level goes up to…

  Irin: I am in Haiting City.

  Zhao Yulong: Well, that's fine, anyway, after the event—huh?

  Irin: I am in Haiting City.

   Zhao Yulong: Did you make a typo?

  Irin: I am in Haiting City.

   Zhao Yulong: Surprised!

  …

  Beep beep —

   Voice calls between the apostles.

  Di.

   is connected.

   Zhao Yulong's roar came across space through some supernatural power.

   "What the hell? Why did you go to Haiting City?"

  Irin smiled bitterly: "I was originally just helping a, um, friend who was a friend to solve a small supernatural incident."

  —Oh cake seller.

   Zhao Yulong seemed to cover his forehead and shouted such a sentence.

Then.

   "You received the mission? The real mission I said."

  Irin's tone was calm: "I got it."

   After thinking for a while, Yi Rin added: "I didn't expect that the 'Tower' would be able to issue missions in reality. This is... quite abrupt."

  Irin said that, of course it was false.

   This is just Yi Rin's "rhetoric" to Zhao Yulong.

   Zhao Yulong was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said in a mourning voice: "It's over, I feel like I can't keep this phone anymore. If something happens to you, it's estimated that—"

  Irin: "?"

   Zhao Yulong: "Cough cough... Anyway, you are in a very dangerous situation. This task is a bit weird."

  Irin pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "I do feel a little weird too."

  Irin knows that there is very little possibility that the "tower" will issue real tasks to the apostles.

   But in most cases, some "abnormalities" in reality will cause great harm to the existing human civilization, or only when chaos occurs, such bizarre realistic tasks will be released.

   From this point of view, the tower seems to be competing with the "special group" for food.

   But what is the purpose of the "Tower" releasing the real task, so far there is no clear statement.

   If you want to protect human beings…

   It seems that the end of the day is also inexplicable.

   Anyway, Irin felt that something was wrong.

   But for a while, he couldn't figure out why.

   "Tower" took a lot of trouble and released real-life missions, just to kill an apostle named "Zhang Huichun"?

   When Irene was thinking.

   Zhao Yulong sent a voice again.

   "Since you have intervened in this matter, I will report to the team leader later. When the 'abnormal incident' is dealt with, it will be recorded in your performance."

  Performance?

   These words came out of Zhao Yulong's mouth, and he always felt that there was something strange.

   Zhao Yulong said suddenly and quickly: "Hey, wait. This matter... is a bit wrong. You said that your friend, what kind of supernatural event is it? How can it be mixed with this matter?"

   heard the words.

  Irin recalled.

   He should have known Zhao Yulong at a later point in time, and he is not quite sure how powerful Zhao Yulong is now.

but-

   For the "special group", the existence of enchanted weapons should not be a secret.

   So Yi Rin modified it a little, and briefly explained the fact that he accidentally discovered that Li Changge was carrying a mother spirit without an owner.

  Irin hid the fact that he already knew about the "unowned spirit" in advance.

   After all, under normal circumstances, based on his experience in Zhao Yulong's archives, he should not have known the existence of the "Masterless Spirit".

   The amount of information is a bit large.

   Zhao Yulong was silent for three minutes.

   just sent a voice again.

   "What the hell?"

  “?”

   "That legendary unmaintained spirit is actually on the back of the international superstar Li Changge? Wait, it's still only a mother spirit? Real name envy...Ahem, no, it's very serious!"

   "You probably don't know what a masterless spirit is..."

   Barbara.

   Zhao Yulong eloquently explained the reason for "No Master Spirit".

  Irin also cooperated and pretended to have a sudden realization.

   "Well, alas... it's a bit of a hassle now." After Zhao Yulong finished speaking, he couldn't help but sighed deeply: "Look at the forum first, and then talk about the hottest post."

   Forum?

  Irin closed the chat window.

   Then opened the forum.

   The first thing that catches my eye is a post that has been pinned to the top.

The    post was made by an anonymous apostle.

  …

【Shock! Haiting City was shocked to discover an unowned "spirit weapon"! 】

   is just a simple title, but a large number of apostles replied to the post below—

   [Pink and cute new ask, what is an enchanted weapon? 】

  【Pink? tender? No pictures, no truth! 】

  【I suspect that a car is driving upstairs, but I have no evidence! 】

  【Will it be true or false? Enchanted weapons? That's a more advanced weapon than an epic weapon! Comparable to the golden legend! 】

  【The weapon with spirit is like a dragon-slaying sword in your hand, nine hundred and ninety-nine with one knife! 】

【Ah? Fishing stickers, identification completed! 】

  【Lanzhou biscuits. 】

  【Shaobing+1】

  【Shaobing+2】

  【Shaobing +3, please line up downstairs. 】

  【I would rather trust what you have than do not trust what you don't have. It's a big deal to waste a lot of money on online tickets and travel! Pippi shrimp let's go! 】

  [Highly suspect that the landlord's post is to promote the development of tourism in Haiting City! Sit back and wait for the scammers to sell miserably. 】

  【Is the biscuits upstairs? Whether the prosperity of Haiting City still needs our apostles to promote it? Are you still awake from your dream? 】

   Next is a bunch of useless water replies.

but-

   At the end, someone suddenly replied anonymously.

  【This is a trap! trap! trap! Second-order apostles must not come to Haiting City! This is a real task! Mandatory Reality Missions! Once it fails... Obliterate! ! 】

  The anonymous apostle even posted the details of the mission in the post.

   The dazzling word "trap" hurt everyone's eyes.

The word    "kill" made countless people terrified.

it turns out-

   In reality, this kind of forced obliteration mission will be released!

  Many people haven't even heard of the "realistic mission" thing.

  Irin silently closed the forum.

   straightened out the idea.

   I roughly understand.

   The last anonymous apostle who posted a warning to others, posted half an hour ago.

   That is, shortly after Irin first came into contact with the third corpse.

   rushed to Haiting City overnight?

   It is estimated that the apostle who posted the post only had a big scumbag left in his heart.

   "It really got really troublesome..."

  Irin is well aware of the urine nature of this group of apostles.

   After this post was published, people who didn’t believe it went crazy, but the apostle who really “would rather believe it” has already embarked on the underground bus that silently rushed to Haiting City.

   If there is such a thing, making a fortune in silence is the kingly way.

   will not run out of water stickers at all.

   will not come out to clarify that this is a rumor.

   Of course, among those people who posted on the water, there are also some who deliberately posted posts to confuse others in order to reduce competitors.

"Ha ha."

  Irin suddenly couldn't help laughing again.

   When a group of apostles came to Haiting City, they suddenly took a "mandatory reality mission" for no reason, and finally jumped out to post a warning to others, but only one person was actually.

   is in sharp contrast to the number of apostles in the previous Shuizhang.

The meaning of    is actually very simple: I was recruited, and I remained silent, to see if I could drag more people into the water.

  —the more the better.

   This kind of task, even the apostle with a little brain, will feel wrong.

   And, in any case, if you just kill an apostle, the more people come, the better.

   There is no doubt about that.

   has also been mentioned before.

The relationship between the    apostles is extremely complicated.

   cannot be explained by simple hostility or companionship.

   Generally speaking, if there is no deep hatred, the apostles will not kill each other in the real world.

   After all, the abilities of the apostles are various and complex, and all kinds of props for turning things over are endless. There is no full certainty or sufficient reason. No apostle will provoke another apostle for no reason.

  —unless there is a great deal of certainty.

   Coupled with disputes of interests, it is even more difficult to say.

   "No wonder Zhao Yulong reminded himself overnight not to go to Haiting City."

   "This quest is restricted to only second-order apostles?"

"why is that?"

  Irin lowered her head.

   thought silently.

   Think about it all.

   He is very clear that the power of the "tower" has a limited impact on reality.

   seems to follow some "rules".

   Even the tower, without a "reason", can't obliterate any apostle at will.

   Of course, the "tower" has no wisdom and no "emotions", and generally speaking, it does not particularly see which apostle is not pleasing to the eye to target.

unless-

  No unless.

  …

  Irin finished browsing the forum.

   contacted Zhao Yulong again.

  —voice calls between the apostles.

   "What? How do you feel?"

   Zhao Yulong said in a muffled voice.

   "This is a bit complicated."

   "It's very complicated! Also, this thing is weird!"

   Zhao Yulong said solemnly: "Let's not talk about the mother on Li Changge's back, the mother spirit."

   For some reason, Yi Rin always felt that Zhao Yulong's tone was a little weird when he mentioned "Mother Spirit".

   Just listen to Zhao Yulong continue: "Let me tell you one thing first, I know who the apostle named 'Zhang Huichun' is in the real task you received."

   Yi Rin was slightly taken aback when he heard the words.

   But he didn't say anything to interrupt Zhao Yulong.

   This is obviously extremely important information.

   "Zhang Huichun, female, 26 years old, she is a young doctor in a central hospital in a certain city."

   "Of course, because she has never committed an accident in the real world, has never met her in the inner world, and has not revealed her identity at all, so we didn't know she was an apostle before the accident."

  Irin heard the hidden message in the words: "Before the accident?"

Zhao Yulong continued: "On the morning of September 5th, she was found dead in her home, because she lived alone, so in the morning, the unit found that she had not come to work and the phone could not be reached, so she sent her friend to Zhang Huichun's house to find her. So it was near noon that the body was found and sent to the morgue of the original unit."

   "There were no wounds on the surface, and no strange traces were found at the place of death. It was initially determined that the cause of death was heart disease."

   Heart disease?

   That is to say—

   "Hehe, you should have guessed, yes, my conclusion is that she should have died in the trial of the inner world."

died?

  Irin frowned.

   did not speak.

   Next, what Zhao Yulong said should be the focus.

Zhao Yulong suddenly smiled, and his tone became inexplicably gloomy: "You shouldn't have guessed what happened next. Just that night, in the hospital where Zhang Huichun's body was located, a security guard died. The cause of death was... cervical vertebrae. It was broken, and the neck was bruised on only one side, and his neck was twisted with one hand."

   Yi Rin smiled slightly: "Why do I feel like you're telling a little horror story? If I guessed correctly, you should say... that Zhang Huichun was resurrected from the dead and killed the security guard?"

  “!”

   Zhao Yulong was shocked.

   He didn't expect that Yi Rin really guessed the ending.

  Hey, this little story of his has paved the way for most of the day!

  You guessed the ending so easily after hearing the beginning, it's a little bit of a shame, bro!

   "How did you guess?"

   "You still need to guess? The tone of your horror story has been put out. Isn't the most terrifying ending Zhang Huichun resurrected from the dead and murdered? What other endings can there be?"

   But although Yi Rin guessed this result, in fact, when he reasonably guessed the ending of this little story, he couldn't help but be shocked.

   At the same time, a lot of guesses came up in my heart.

  The apostle came back to life?

   Some kind of skill?

   Or some kind of prop that takes effect after death?

   Or is it someone else pretending to be Zhang Huichun?

   Was it not Zhang Huichun who died at the beginning?

   All kinds of possibilities are intertwined in Irin's mind.

   Zhao Yulong was a little depressed, but he continued to talk, after all, business matters.

   "Zhang Huichun didn't know why, so he didn't destroy the hospital's surveillance video."

"We retrieved all the footage afterwards and found that Zhang Huichun did get up from the freezer himself, and then walked through the corridor, seemed to chat with the dead security guard, and then turned back and suddenly broke the security guard's neck. ."

   "And then what?"

"Then? Then it's gone! After Zhang Huichun killed the security guard, he left the hospital, uh, yes, you should know very well that the monitoring equipment will have some dead ends. We have never seen Zhang Huichun exposed under the camera again. noodle."

  Irin's eyes twitched slightly, but he didn't deny it.

  The blind spot of the monitoring equipment, he is indeed quite clear.

   "And, not only that."

   Zhao Yulong's tone became a bit heavy: "After that night, from all over the country, we received reports of murders one after another... We suspect that Zhang Huichun was hunting apostles after his 'resurrection'."

  “!”

   "Of course, some homicides may appear to be 'normal' on the surface, so no relevant data has been collected yet, but those with 'abnormal' methods of death are classified under our 'special group'."

   "The 'Z5 Council' attaches great importance to this matter."

   "Although the methods of death in these murders are a little different, we have initially confirmed that there were at least 4 apostles who died in the hands of Zhang Huichun, and her route to hunt the apostles..."

  Irin silently said the next words: "Haiting City."

   "Yes, if you add Li Changge's mother spirit, tsk tsk...cough, in this case, it stands to reason that there are at least 5 apostles who died in her hands."

-At least.

   In other words, there may be more.

   "Anyway!"

Zhao Yulong put aside the distracting thoughts related to the mother spirit, and his tone became serious: "This matter is very complicated, very complicated! If it is not handled properly, it may cause a very serious accident! In the past ten years, since the 'special group' Since its establishment, such a blatant and aimless hunt for apostles has rarely happened!"

"If I guess correctly, there may be two reasons for triggering the real task. First, Zhang Huichun is still in Haiting City, and second, as an apostle, you are in the city where Zhang Huichun is located, and you are close to the city. Touched the dead body of the apostle."

   "Of course, this is just my speculation. Anyway, since you were forced to take the mission, you can't run away."

  Irin was silent.

  What Zhao Yulong said is... the truth.

  Irin is only a human being, not a god.

   Even if everything is thought through carefully, the supernatural event that Li Changge encounters cannot be expected, but it just happens to be one of the series of events.

   He was inadvertently involved in this whirlpool.

but-

   Irin felt strange.

   In his memory, the trajectory of "that future" did not have such a serious incident of hunting apostles.

Or…

   He, who had not yet become an apostle at that time, was not qualified to know?

   was hidden?

  Irin has been unable to return to "that future", and many speculations cannot be confirmed one by one.

   Now, the most important thing is to resolve this incident.

"Oh, that's right! I'm still investigating this matter elsewhere, and I'll let you know as soon as there is any news! Also, a senior member of the 'special group' has arrived in Haiting City, and you should have a chance to meet at that time. "

After    finished speaking, Zhao Yulong hurriedly cut off his voice.

   It seems that he was really overwhelmed by this "hunting the apostles" incident.

   Originally, Yi Rin wanted Zhao Yulong to send over the surveillance video of Zhang Huichun in the hospital.

-Did not have time.

   Forget it, talk about it later.

   As for Zhang Huichun's information, it should be able to be searched on the Internet.

   At least, photos of names, age and gender can still be found.

   As for the others... I guess it has been suppressed by the special group.

   "abnormal" is handled by the special group.

   After all, Zhang Huichun was a doctor in a formal hospital "before his death".

   Time left—

  72 hours!

   seems to be plenty.

   But it is not easy to find an apostle in the vast crowd of Haiting City.

   At the very least, Yi Rin really wanted to hide because of his own words. He believed that very few people could find him.

   It is definitely not easy to deal with people who can hunt down the apostles and go all the way to Haiting City.

   It starts with Zhang Huichun's resurrection from the dead.

   This thing is complicated.

   is not something that can be sorted out in a short time.

   But what Yiren lacks most now is time.

   Moreover, if you guessed correctly, the entire Haiting City will become the first gathering of apostles that Yilin has witnessed since his rebirth!

"Headache."

  Irin rubbed his temples and frowned.

  Li Changge looked over eagerly when he saw that Yi Rin seemed to be finished.

  Li Changge can receive the quest, in other words, he has reached at least level 10, the second-order apostle.

   "I suggest you look at the forum first."

  Irin laughed.

  Li Changge was confused at first.

   "Forum? What about the forum - um, I'm going?! What the hell???"

  Li Changge muttered and opened the forum to take a look.

   in a minute.

  Li Changge's face turned red at first, then gradually turned blue, and finally turned purple.

"Yo?"

  Irin smiled.

   The special effects behind Li Changge have changed.

   A crematorium.

  There are also cherry blossoms floating all around.

   Ah, it looks like Li Changge wants to be cremated among the cherry blossoms in the sky.

   After 30,000 words, this carefully set reality chapter is finally on the right track. Don't forget to vote! Heaven does not give birth to him, Li Changge, forcing the Tao to be as long as night! I hope your grandfather's charm value rises steadily!
