The Old Gods Are Whispering

In the morning self-study the next day, there was a faint sound of birdsong outside the window.

Gu Jianlin sat in his seat, silently eating a hamburger, staring at the phone in a daze.

There was the sound of pen nibs rubbing against the test paper in all directions.

Only Su Youzhu was an exception. This girl had already fallen asleep lying on the desk.

Gu Jianlin asked her for the so-called love letter early this morning, and stared at the writing on it for a long time.

The content of the previous confession is basically nonsense, only the last few sentences have obvious hints or warnings.

"First, he is telling me that if he can deliver a love letter to Youzhu, he can kill Youzhu."

"Secondly, he is warning me not to tell others. He knows that I have joined the Ether Association. Once he senses the crisis, he will first use Youzhu as a punishment."

"Thirdly, the appointment time may be just a cover. This guy is likely to attack Youzhu in advance."

He lightly tapped the table with his index finger, he couldn't waste any more time.

"You can't pin your hopes on the Ether Association or Lu Zicheng, because I'm not sure about their behavior. Once the news leaks and the clown perceives the danger, he will run away immediately. It doesn't matter whether the Ether Association can keep his family. It’s easy to say, after all, they have hidden means.”

He analyzed in his heart: "What's more, there are Mom and Uncle Su."

When it comes to family members, even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, he will not take this risk.

The safest method must be used.

Clowns must die.

If there are other accomplices, then they must be killed.

Otherwise, Gu Jianlin's family will never have a peaceful day.

Lao Gu once said that if you want to defeat a criminal, you cannot follow the opponent's logic.

He must jump out of his logic and win by surprise.

Currently, the Joker has the upper hand because no one has been able to find him.

If his invisibility fails, that's another story.

Lu Zicheng killed him every minute.

"If I can find the clown, then he loses the initiative."

Gu Jianlin tapped his fingers on the table for a moment: "The price of doing this is that I have to bear all the risks alone, because he is a survivor of the blood moon massacre, and he came to seek revenge on me."

"The clown's rank is higher than mine, but I have a dual-core drive and a gun. The most important thing is that he has the ability to deform. If he is like Li Changzhi, he is indeed very dangerous, but..."

Gu Jianlin's state in the Qilin Immortal Palace back then was like that of an ancient god.

And it has tremendous power, especially that weird syllable.

But after he returned to reality, he was no longer able to exert that destructive power.

The black unicorn deep in his consciousness is also in a deep sleep state.

Apart from being mentally stimulated and swallowing spirituality, he didn't move at all.

It's no different from dead.

"How do I wake it up?"

Gu Jianlin hesitated for a moment, picked up his phone and left the classroom.

At this time, Su Youzhu raised her head in a daze, and glanced at his back.

The park at the corner of the campus is shrouded in sunlight.

Someone was holding a mobile phone, smoking a cigarette, and said with a smile: "Heh, as we expected, the Aether Association has already set its sights on us, and nine times out of ten they even sent people from the Tribunal."

During the call, a hoarse voice came: "You can still laugh, clown."

The clown extinguished his cigarette and said with a sneer, "Why are you so serious? The group of people from the Aether Association don't know what we encountered back then, including the Unexisting Lock in my hand and the Requiem Bell. Compared with the most perfect In terms of the evolutionary chain, it is not worth mentioning."

The other party responded: "If there is no lock of non-existence, you would have been killed by the trial court long ago. You'd better be careful, if it is not at the cost of overdrawing your life, how can you contain those two weapons with your rank? "

The value of mythical weapons is much higher than that of alchemy weapons.

But that's not for everyone.

If you want to forcibly contain the mythical armed forces, you must risk your life and soul being devoured.

"As long as we can complete the task of that adult, we can get a complete evolution and a new life." The clown licked his lips.

There was a serious voice on the phone.

"Clown, don't make extra trouble!"

Said to the other side: "Even if you gain the ability to deform, you still can't compete with them head-on."

The clown grinned a gloomy smile, and said, "With that lord's Necromancer Gu, what are you afraid of?"

After a moment of silence, he said to the other side: "It's up to you, has Gu Ci'an's son been found?"

"Always in my sight."

The clown said calmly: "As long as his family is still in Fengcheng, he won't be able to run away. He is in the light, and I am in the dark. I will always be the one who takes the initiative. As for the Aether Association...heh."

He mocked, "He's Gu Ci'an's son, how much can the Aether Association trust him?"

After speaking, he hung up the phone, turned around and disappeared into the shadows with a cigarette in his mouth.

The clown is very confident in himself.

He is the hunter.

And his prey was just a rookie who had just entered the extraordinary world.

It's like ants to him.

Can be trampled to death at any time.

As for the Ether Association and the Inquisition, they are just a bunch of idiots.

Not worth mentioning.

However, when he passed by the balcony of the girls' dormitory, he found a letter on it.

"What you love is your life?"

The clown was lost in thought.

The back door of Fengcheng No. 2 Middle School, in an empty garden.

Gu Jianlin stood beside the grass, looked down at the bloodstains that had not been cleaned up, and remained silent.

The blood had solidified, showing a deep mottled dark red.

And animal hair, scattered on the ground.

There is also a food bowl for pets beside the flower bed. The food on it has already deteriorated and smelled disgusting.

Gu Jianlin suppressed his malice and sniffed these smells carefully.

Combined with the animal corpses I saw last night, I searched for clues step by step.

The overturned food bowl, the scattered hair, the blood splattered on the ground, the red-stained grass, the footprints of trampled grass, the traces of deep mud, and the graffiti on the love letter, all the clues are connected in series .

about there.

Gu Jianlin closed his eyes, and built a personality portrait of the murderer in his mind step by step.

His cruelty, his sickness, his madness.

Chilling.

"Forty-six years old, with a dark personality. He grew up in a slum abroad. He may have witnessed shootings, experienced domestic violence, and likes to abuse animals. He has been single all year round and has received higher education after growing up. His mental state is extremely unstable."

Gu Jianlin paused: "Also, there are inhuman features."

Very good, it matches the one in the data.

It was you, clown!

For a moment, he opened his eyes, and a strange scene flashed before his eyes.

The knife-sharp jointed limbs, accompanied by splashes of blood, cut open the abdomen of some kind of animal.

The blood-stained hand poked in from the animal's abdomen and took out a still beating heart.

Scenes of broken pictures are fleeting in my mind, like the scenery passing by the window when racing to extreme speed.

Gu Jianlin turned around, searched carefully in the haystack, and found a spider silk after searching for a long time.

Because this strand of spider silk is really too thin, if you don't observe it carefully, you will definitely ignore it.

"This clown is really cautious. There are too few traces left by himself. Fortunately, there is still such a spider's thread." Gu Jianlin took out a piece of toilet paper, carefully took it off, wrapped it up, and put it in his pocket .

This is precious material for curses.

The personality portraits have basically been completed, and the next thing to do is to compare them one by one.

This time, Gu Jianlin had to find someone in the whole school who could hide his identity, and the workload was unprecedented.

But this is also a challenge for him.

But it doesn't matter, he can skip all of today's class and have a lot of time to find it slowly.

He is a very patient man.

Gu Jianlin put on the bluetooth headset and started playing the music on his phone, repeating the single song.

Accompanied by the classical and melodious melody, the male voice sounded like a pleading voice.

"The alley in 1983, clear December, the seventh chapter of the night..."

Campus shrouded in dusk.

Teaching buildings, laboratory buildings, office buildings, basketball courts, swimming pools, public toilets.

In some classrooms, the math teacher has already set up a lesson on the blackboard, and the fifty students in the audience are paying attention.

No one noticed that a teenager wearing earphones hurried past the door.

The chemistry teacher in the laboratory building yelled loudly, and the careless students were in a hurry with the reagents.

The fierce battle on the basketball court was in full swing, and the blue and red uniforms of the members of the two school teams were intertwined, sweating profusely.

The sound of panting, the thud of the basketball hitting the ground violently, mixed together.

In the stands, there was only one person watching them silently with a lollipop in his mouth.

In the swimming pool of the school, girls in swimsuits are frolicking in the water, their well-developed figures are stretched to their heart's content, water droplets are jumping on their snow-white skin, and their figures are swimming underwater, as light as fish.

In the gymnasium next door, there are schoolgirls in white lace practicing ballet, spinning easily on one foot.

The hem of the skirt can be retracted and unfolded like a lily, which is too beautiful to behold.

The boy wearing earphones watched them silently, turned around and went to the public toilet.

The brothers in the men's room only felt that there was a figure passing by outside the door, as if they had seen a ghost.

The beautiful teacher who had just come out of the women's toilet almost bumped into a boy wearing earphones and exclaimed.

A dozing kitten crawling along the side of the road rubbed against his ankle affectionately.

On the huge campus, Gu Jianlin hurried past everyone like a lonely ghost.

I kept writing their personality portraits in my mind and recorded them in my heart.

It is as if there is a memory palace in his brain, where books are collected, each book is a personality portrait belonging to a certain person, recording their truest side.

If it was before he became a sublimator, he might not be able to do such an exaggerated thing.

But since his awakening, his profiling ability seems to have become stronger.

This may... be the evolution of life.

In almost one day, he even found out the secrets that the Ether Association had placed in the school.

At this moment, the sun was setting.

An unknown number of times of music was played in the earphones, and a new cycle was started.

Gu Jianlin held on to the earphones, walked towards the cafeteria in silence, and put his right hand on the pistol at his waist.

He walked through the darkness, walking faster and faster.

As if stepping on some kind of beat.

"We can, forget, forgive."

"But the truth must be known."

"The bars that have been moved."

"The last piece of the picture is finally put together."

boom.

The door of the cafeteria was pushed open forcefully, and the cool wind came in, blowing dust all over the floor.

The sun was fading, and the darkness swept over the sky. Someone was already preparing to cook on the first floor, but the second and third floors were dim. The elevators on the stairs were not running, and nothing could be seen.

Someone walked into the third floor with a girl in their arms. They looked like a couple in love and disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

Gu Jianlin stood in the darkness, staring at his back.

The melody in the earphones played to a climax.

"I heard the expected footsteps, moccasin heels."

"He opened the door, the night wind swayed, and the kerosene lamp burst."

"The typewriter stopped at the murderer's, and I turned around to name..."

"The night sky at Westminster began to boil."

In Gu Jianlin's line of sight, the silhouette of that person gradually distorted, and suddenly he turned into a magician wearing a clown mask.

·

Gu Jianlin finally found the person he was looking for.

For a whole day, he observed countless faces throughout the school, and finally determined the back figure just now.

He looked at this person three times and was sure it was him.

The cafeteria was dimly lit, and the students passed him with their bought dinners, and he walked in like a ghost.

The dim twilight reflected his back, and the light and darkness were handed over.

He stepped into the darkness, as if he had stepped into another world. The hustle and bustle of the world quickly went away, and the mystery and weirdness rushed towards him.

Suddenly there were clear and crisp footsteps at the top of the stairs, and a girl with light blue short hair walked up the stairs. She was wearing a baggy school uniform jacket, and her back was slim and petite, slender and graceful.

Gu Jianlin was taken aback, he didn't expect her to be here at this time!

No, it's not that she just happened to be here.

Instead, the clown hovered near her.

Su Youzhu just wanted to come to the cafeteria to buy white fungus porridge, because her appetite was not very good today, but unfortunately no one came to the window on the third floor, so she planned to go up and sit alone for a while, anyway, she was used to being alone.

For housewives, as long as the mobile phone is still charged, it is equivalent to roaming the world.

At this moment, she suddenly heard some strange voices coming from the strange calls in the corridor in front.

It seems that the cloth is rubbing, and there are kisses and sucking sounds.

Accompanied by the woman's moaning in pain.

Her pretty face was flushed, and she was about to turn around and leave. She didn't know who was so horny and messed up in the corridor of the cafeteria, and she didn't know how to behave.

Suddenly someone came from behind, grabbed her waist, and hugged her tightly.

Just as Su Youzhu was about to scream, her vermilion lips were covered.

"Hush."

Gu Jianlin embraced her slender waist, and led her step by step to the corner, staring at the darkness of the corridor ahead, and whispered in her ear: "Don't make a sound, this place is very dangerous."

Boom.

It was the sound of a heartbeat.

Su Youzhu was so frightened that her heart beat faster, but when she heard a familiar voice next to her ears, she opened her clear eyes wide and turned her head to see the boy's cold side face, so she didn't struggle.

She didn't know what happened, and looked at him silently, as if stunned.

This is the closest time the siblings have been together for several months.

Gu Jianlin's hand tightly covered her lips, but there was no smell of sweat, instead there was a faint fragrance of hand sanitizer, her palms should have been stained with her lipstick and moistened by her breath.

As for the so-called danger, she didn't know what it was.

It's just an instinctive heartbeat.

"Listen to me obediently. When I let go of you, run out immediately. Don't look back. Try to go to a place with a lot of people. There are people in the school who can protect your safety. Do you understand? This place is very dangerous and there are murderers. "

Gu Jianlin lowered his voice: "Be obedient."

His voice was as calm as magic.

Su Youzhu vaguely knew what his father was doing. As a profiler, he solved many shocking cases, which would definitely attract the pursuit of his enemies. Thinking of this, she was a little nervous and waved her phone.

Gu Jianlin walked around in front of her, blocked her, and said every word: "It's too late."

Although they had only been together for four months, this girl had never rejected him at all.

Instead, she took good care of him and wanted him to integrate into the family.

He can't let her have an accident.

Otherwise, mother will be very sad.

For a moment, a thin shadow was reflected in the corridor.

Seeing that shadow, Gu Jianlin felt that someone was already standing at the end of the corridor.

He took a deep breath and said with his lips: "Be obedient, and then call the police to save me."

At this moment, Gu Jianlin finally realized how his father felt when the car accident happened.

This is the feeling of wanting to protect someone.

"Walk!"

He suddenly roared and pushed the girl in his arms away.

Pushed hard by him, Su Youzhu staggered back, her light blue hair messed up her beautiful eyes, and the depths of her pupils were full of tension and worry, and then rushed down the stairs without hesitation, and fled outside.

It's nice, it's calm, it's awesome!

Bang!

A puff of smoke exploded, and a black shadow appeared behind the boy out of thin air.

Gu Jianlin picked up a chair, turned around and threw it backwards!
