Chapter 2 Late Night Visitor
Author: Yan Youwu
Deng Deng Deng!!!
Xu Nuo was so frightened by this scene that he stepped back repeatedly and subconsciously made a Ziwu Jue with his hands. It seemed that this was the only way to temporarily soothe the panic at the moment.
This is a mudra specially used to calm down and ward off evil spirits. When it was placed on the earth, although he had never seen any gods, ghosts and demons, he still learned many basic Taoist lessons according to his master's teachings.
Now that he suddenly traveled to such a strange world, even if nothing beyond ordinary people's imagination happened in Dante's memory, the traveling itself was unreasonable enough, not to mention that not long after he opened his eyes, he saw
Such a terrifying scene.
He kept the rhythm of his breathing as much as possible, tensed his muscles, and stared at the face in the closet that always kept a weird smile, as if to warn him: Don't come over.
Cold sweat broke out on Xu Nuo's forehead, he lifted the heel of his left foot slightly, placed his body's center of gravity on his right foot, and thought about countermeasures in his mind:
"There are no weapons available for use in the room, and the window is only two meters away from me."
"This kind of building is similar to that of the late Victorian period, and uses a wooden bay window design, that is to say."
"If you are fast enough, you can use the huge inertia of your body to break out of the window!"
"Wait, this is the sixth floor"
"The door is on the right side. If you want to escape through the door, you must pass by the closet."
"Although it is not clear whether the "thing" inside is a human being, judging from the condition of my body, it is difficult to guarantee that it can withstand possible attacks."
Xu Nuo was thinking wildly in his mind, but he didn't dare to look away from the closet for a moment.
Although he is a professional Taoist priest, he has never had the experience of "subduing demons" in his life of more than 20 years.
Except for the fact that he was praised by his master as having "extremely strong spiritual awareness" when he was a child, he is just an ordinary person.
As for those magic formulas and talismans that have long been familiar to my mind, they have become products that I sleep with every day.
After all, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, people were not allowed to become spirits, and monsters and ghosts had no environment to live in. No matter how strong the so-called spiritual sense was, it was of no use.
After a long period of silence and staring, the "things" in the cabinet still didn't make any move.
No matter how you look at it, the smiling face and the unblinking blood-red eyes are like a demon mask outlined by a primitive tribe, quietly hidden in the dark space of the cabinet, as if mocking the humans in front of you.
"this face"
Xunuo took a breath and frowned slightly. Fragments of memory emerged, and the "ghost face" in front of him became more and more familiar.
"Kyle O'Levin?!"
Yes, this is Kyle’s face! The original person’s friend and partner!
As Dante's best "partner" in Nolan City, Kyle's biggest characteristic is that he is rich and extremely carefree.
As the only son of the senior superintendent of the Nolan City Police Department, he is one of the top "powerful people" in this small city.
This is undoubtedly a standard element of "husbands and friends" in any novel or movie.
"Why is he in the closet?"
Xu Nuo couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. He tentatively moved his body forward and found that "Kyle" in the cabinet did not move at all, so he boldly approached and gently pushed the cabinet door open.
"Squeak."
There was a harsh opening and closing sound, and Kyle's body in the cabinet seemed to have lost its support, and fell onto the dark red carpet with a muffled "bang".
he died.
Xu Nuo frowned and stood there without moving. The discovery in front of him did not relieve any of his nervousness, but instead made him feel more horrified and weird.
The situation in time traveled is unknown, there is a corpse lying in front of me, the memory is missing and nowhere to be found
Who was the person who killed the original body and Kyle? What happened before? How did he travel through time? How to deal with the body of his "friend" in front of him? How to explain this to his father, a senior police superintendent?
thing?
All kinds of mysteries filled his mind like a mess, which undoubtedly aggravated the headache symptoms.
"The top priority is to dispose of the body first, and then figure out how to escape."
"You can go back and slowly explore the truth, and you have to try to see if you can go back."
Xu Nuo sighed, subconsciously ignoring the option of leniency for confessing.
You must know that the world we are living in is not the earth, and there are no rules for civilized law enforcement. If he goes to the police station to call the police and explain the true situation, whether anyone will believe it or not, the senior superintendent will definitely choose him to serve as his police officer.
His son was buried with him.
After making the decision, he no longer hesitated. Xu Nuo endured the pain in his body and searched the house for tools that could be used to store a body.
He didn't dare to turn on the light, because he didn't understand the external situation, and he didn't know whether the murderer of "him" and Kyle had gone far, so he had to use the moonlight to search in the room, but after a long time, he still found nothing, so he had to give up temporarily.
The apartment I originally rented had only one bedroom and one living room. Although the room was small, it was expensive because it was located in the center of Nolan City.
Years of living and drinking had already drained Dante's savings. Apart from basic facilities and furniture, this apartment was completely destitute.
This can be seen from the IOUs that can be seen everywhere on the desk.
"How much money does this guy owe outside?"
Xu Nuo was flipping through the IOUs on the table while cursing. He really didn't understand this kind of behavior of pretending to be fat to find a woman.
Besides, with this face, if you really want to be a soft-boiled guy, it won't be that difficult.
But it just so happens that this person is still a lustful ghost with "backbone" who only likes to spend a lot of money and doesn't like to be squandered a lot of money.
So he can't understand even more
"What's this."
Xu Nuo suddenly discovered a small and exquisite silver badge pressed under the cigar box, with complicated patterns printed on it.
The emblem looks like a combination of a six-pointed star and a triangle, with a circle in the center with lines similar to ghost symbols engraved inside.
He picked up the badge curiously. I don't know if it was a psychological effect or some other reason. The moment he took the badge, a cool feeling ran through his body, and even the pain seemed to have weakened a lot.
"The items Kyle brought?"
Memory fragments shot out, and related things came to mind. This was something Kyle brought with him when he came tonight. It was said to be one of the "trophies" captured by his father.
As a senior police superintendent, it is very reasonable for some criminal evidence to be "confiscated in accordance with the law." I seem to be accustomed to this and do not find it strange.
"Is it possible that this thing has attracted the prying eyes of the 'murderer', who wants to kill people and steal goods?"
"But if that's the case, it would be very unreasonable for the badge to remain at the scene."
"But other than that, there is currently no information to support the cause of the two deaths, even if it is far-fetched."
Xu Nuo conveniently put the badge into his pocket. Anyway, this is one of the only items that can be related to tonight. He should put it on his body first and then study it slowly.
"Right now we still have to find a way to dispose of the body."
Looking at Kyle lying on the floor with a strange smile on his face, Xu Nuo took off his jacket and covered his smiling face without thinking.
It looked so weird in the middle of the night.
After looking around again, it seemed that the only option was to wrap the body in sheets and transport it out.
Although it is easy to attract attention, it is better than leaving it alone in the room.
After all, the relationship between Kyle and the original person is not a secret. If he is found dead in the apartment and he is missing, there is a 100% chance that he will be listed as a wanted fugitive by the police station.
But if both of them are missing, I will have some room for maneuver even if I am discovered in the future.
"Dong dong dong!"
Just as Xu Nuo tried his best to drag Kyle to the bedside in the bedroom, there was a sudden knock on the apartment door.
Hearing this voice, he subconsciously tensed up his nerves and slowed down his breathing.
"Damn it, who's knocking on the door at this time!"
Xu Nuo was nervous. In the current situation, should he open the door or not? Should he pretend not to be at home?
"Dong dong dong!"
The knock on the door seemed very abrupt in the middle of the night, and the person outside the door seemed to believe that someone was at home in the apartment.
Xu Nuo no longer hesitated and pushed Kyle's body under the bed with both hands. Then he rubbed his eyes and deliberately messed up his clothes.
He picked up the iron desk lamp in the room, weighed it in his hand, and then walked to the position behind the door.
"who?"
