secret chat room

Hu Yan covered her chest with both hands, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.

He is crazy, I can't argue with him!

Yes! I am magnanimous!

I have a generous heart... Bah!

When she opened her eyes again, Hu Yan seemed to have adjusted her mood, but the ears that were hidden in her long shawl hair and were so red that they were about to burst into flames showed that she was not at peace at the moment.

But she didn't dwell on these trivial matters anymore. She just shook her head and asked a question directly.

"There is no evidence alone. Finding a person with shape-shifting powers using only a scar on his chest is undoubtedly more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack."

Zhuang Xie nodded, clicked on a picture again, and handed it to Hu Yan.

"This is... Dahlia?" Hu Yan looked at Hu Yan in surprise.

The picture on the phone is clearly that of the person in the group chat who is in the direction of the investigation and has the lowest sense of presence.

"We came into a misunderstanding before. This shape-shifting monster is extremely powerful and ferocious. We preconceptionally believed that he was the Dahlia who appeared as a cute girl in the group chat. The least possibility was that he was the yellow hair who talked a lot.

Highest.

Point all investigations towards Huang Mao.

But that weird guy can transform into Najung, a devil and a muscular man, and a dog and you. Our rigidity in gender is really a blinder."

The most important thing is that Zhuang Xie tapped the screen twice again and enlarged the picture of a COS anime heroine with Dahlia hair in the group chat, which was also the only picture.

Although her chest was covered with gauze, there was still a vague scar on the left chest. According to the size and direction of the scar, it was very similar to the scar on "Hu Yan"'s chest in the surveillance video.

Hu Yan's eyes gradually widened, and she raised her head to meet Zhuang Xie's eyes.

"So, this girl is the true face of that shape-shifting monster?!"

Zhuang Xie neither shook his head nor nodded, "We still can't confirm whether the appearance in this picture is the true form of the monster, because we can't guarantee whether she had acquired abilities when this picture was taken."

"But what we can almost confirm is that the shape-shifting monster is Dahlia. And we caught her by the tail."

Zhuang Xie took his phone, copied and pasted the COS photo of Dahlia into the image search function of the search engine, and clicked search.

I planted a picture and the entire page popped up.

Almost all of them are real-life COS pictures, full of the aura of beasts like the two-spined ape.

Zhuang Xie quickly swiped the screen and then fixed on a picture. It was the picture of Dahlia wearing a COS outfit. However, compared with the picture recorded in the group chat, she had changed into a more provocative posture, arching her round buttocks.

Lines, the upper body is pressed against the ground, the head is slightly raised, and it seems to be blinking in confusion.

Hu Yan, who raises cats at home, seems to have completely grasped the lazy and cute temperament of cats hunching over and stretching.

Zhuang Xie then traced the original website of this picture and finally entered a Weibo account.

This blogger is obviously a photography business enthusiast and an enthusiast of COS exhibitions of all sizes.

Soon, Zhuang Xie easily found the figure of Dahlia among the colorful road photos, and the day was still relatively early.

June 16, 2019.

Ignoring the copywriting on this Weibo post that was clearly a two-thorned ape but pretending to be petty bourgeois, Zhuang Xie directly extracted the most critical information, the venue, Tianxi Cave Convention and Exhibition Center, and then raised his head and looked at Hu Yan.

Got the clue by the tail.

…

Hu Yan's recovery speed was much faster than Zhuang Xie said. Only the next morning, Hu Yan found that he was fine. As long as he did not do strenuous exercise, it would not even affect his walking.

Both men tacitly avoided talking about the reasons for this.

"Are you ready?"

As Hu Yan asked, she turned her gaze to Zhuang Xie, who was inserting a dog-leg knife into her shadow. She couldn't help but feel a sense of envy from deep in her heart.

Look at other people's abilities. They can fight, attack, control, and support. How about your own?

Community gossip information base station?

Voyeur ecstasy?

Hu Yan, who was originally quite satisfied with his abilities, suddenly felt dull after experiencing life and death in just a few days.

Not being able to fight counts as a Gil ability.

The only black state with some positive fighting ability is not only accompanied by a sub-personality with unstable emotions and self-destructive tendencies, but also was beaten by Zhuang Xie in that state.

It’s very embarrassing...

"Huh? Sorry."

Hu Yan noticed that Zhuang Xie suddenly stopped moving and seemed to be talking to himself.

"Ah? What did you say?"

"Well, it's nothing."

Zhuang Xie nonchalantly pulled out the half-stuffed dogleg knife, took out a few paper towels and wiped the tip of the knife, then turned the handle over and stuffed it into the shadow.

The corners of Hu Yan's eyes twitched twice. She just saw clearly that the tip of the knife was stained with some suspicious light blue liquid.

If she remembered correctly, the blood of the strange one named Ah Ha by Zhuang Xie seemed to be light blue...

…

After getting ready, get in Hu Yan's car and go out.

Then the two of them started by investigating the organizer of the comic show held at the Convention and Exhibition Center on June 16.

"Sorry! We can't disclose this information to irrelevant people."

The speaker was a greasy, bald middle-aged man, his tone full of impatience.

This person seems to be an employee of a company called Animation Avenue who is responsible for the comic exhibition area.

I was notified by the front desk that a customer was looking for me. I thought it was a big order, but it turned out that I came to ask someone.

Zhuang Xie smiled gently, raised his head as if nothing had happened, and looked in the direction of the surveillance camera. When he was about to stand up, he was pulled by his sleeve by the person next to him.

When he turned around, he saw Hu Yan frowning and shaking her head at him, then stood up and walked forward.

Zhuang Xie was suddenly startled.

It seems that since I gained the ability, I have become increasingly unable to suppress my emotions and actions.

The powerful power he now controls, to a certain extent, has the ability to ignore modern technologies such as surveillance.

Unknowingly, he gradually neglected the self-control he had spent decades forcing himself to adapt to this social order.

For example, at this time, Zhuang Xie's first reaction was to knock the other party down directly and then interrogate him for information.

This kind of loss of control over one's emotions is subtle. If there is no external reminder, especially Zhuang Xie's temperament, it is probably easier to fall into it without realizing it.

In the short time that Zhuang Xie was reflecting on himself, Hu Yan had already returned with a note.

Zhuang Xie raised his eyebrows slightly and took the note, "So soon?"

Hu Yan flipped up her hair, and there was a hint of pride in her eyebrows, "It's trivial to convince people."

Zhuang Xie paused and said, "Thank you."

Hu Yan looked at him with a half-smile but said nothing.

Zhuang Xie looked down at the note without looking up at her, "Thank you for stopping me."

"Why are you thanking me? I guess you don't seem to care about this."

Having been with Hu Yan for such a period of time, with her psychological attainments, she could already tell that something was wrong with Zhuang Xie.

"Because Najung probably won't like me like that."

Hu Yan curled her lips unconsciously after hearing this, "Okay, we have Dahlia's name and basic information. Let's go directly to her next?"

Written on the note was a series of contact numbers and a name, Hua Lingqian.
