119: Chapter 107: Rabbit Doll 119: Chapter 107: Rabbit Doll Those who survive are heroes.
Those who die are extraordinary.
Gu Shen had no interest in exploring the man’s bizarre notions of saving or destroying the world reflected in the mirror of the compass…
He just wanted to rember those eyes, soaked in blood and kindled fire, eyes with quite unique spiritual characteristics that no matter how much he looked, he never seed to see enough, and no matter how much he tried, he couldn’t rember.
“Have you written it down?”
As he spoke, the man suddenly asked.
Gu Shen was taken aback.
“I can’t quite rember it,” he replied with composure, candidly adding, “Why don’t you reveal your entire face so I can have a good look…
Actually, I don’t mind being a savior, nor do I mind sending you to the Eighteen Layers of Hell.”
The man couldn’t help but chuckle.
“It’s really…
better to arrive at the right ti rather than early.
Cui Zhongcheng isn’t as interesting as you.”
He complained softly, then as if comforting a friend, smiled and said, “Gu Shen, we’ll et…
perhaps, it won’t be much longer?”
“I hope you’ll still be able to smile then,” Gu Shen replied, with a laugh, but it was a cold laugh.
“Of course,” the man said warmly, “eting you is indeed a delightful thing.
Why should it be…
so serious?”
The next mont.
The Blood Fire disappeared.
The Compass lost all its sensing abilities and reverted back to the Grade-C sealed object as Gu Shen had known before.
“I rembered…
but it feels like I didn’t…” Gu Shen frowned, finding it unprecedented for soone with an excellent mory like his.
If he tried sketching those blood and fire entwined eyes on paper following his mory, he might end up drawing a dozen different pairs of eyes.
Did that guy give him the Compass?
It was a hot potato.
But Gu Shen had no choice but to accept it.
The man knew all his information…
It was clear that he was a complete madman, from the fire case to the solemn stone sculptures to the strange fog of Yuan Dan Street, each incident was related to him, and more and more innocents were being involved.
What Gu Shen couldn’t understand was, just from seeking an opponent, no matter how he looked at it, Cui Zhongcheng seed more suitable than him…
He was just an Intern Judge at the Judgent Institute, still in the probationary stage.
While Mr.
Xiao Cui was the Supre One who held the power of life and death over half of Da Du.
Was it because…
Cui Zhongcheng was boring?
Gu Shen picked up the Compass with so gnashing of teeth…
At least one thing the man had said was right; he had to use the Compass to disperse the thick fog on Yuan Dan Street.
The spiritual scouring by Shi Li was completed.
Gu Shen picked up the Compass, wiped it carefully, and based on Shi Li’s mory…
this Compass did not require any breathing thods to cooperate with, just carrying it on one’s person and injecting spiritual power into it could achieve the dispersal of fog.
As expected.
Spiritual power was injected into it.
The thick fog still obscured the view, but the erosion of spiritual power gradually disappeared, leaving just an ordinary heavy fog.
Following the guidance of the Compass, the fog that sealed off everything also couldn’t stop him from leaving Yuan Dan Street.
“Good…
let’s try entering the factory.”
Gu Shen was still very cautious.
He extended a hand into the factory.
The Six Blessings bracelet was silent, showing no sign of abnormality.
There wasn’t the expected scene of peace shattering…
Seeing this, Gu Shen felt relieved.
He slowly entered the factory, then frowned when he saw a red blood light rising within the snowy white fog.
A small, inconspicuous gospel box.
It sat in the very center of the factory.
The ground flowed with crimson Extraordinary Essence, like molten lava.
“So this is the source of the fog…” Gu Shen crouched down, summoned Chi Huo, and observed it cautiously for a mont.
Eventually, he confird it was the factory floor patterns, in conjunction with the gospel box, creating an incredible “Extraordinary Pattern,” which resulted in the phenonon of the thick fog on Yuan Dan Street…
Then, pulling out the gospel box would put an end to everything.
Chi Huo swirled around.
Confident with the protection of the Six Blessings bracelet, Gu Shen boldly reached out his hand—
“Hiss~~~”
Intense heat erupted on the surface of the gospel box, seemingly encountering resistance.
In an instant, the surrounding fog was burned away.
“Up you go!” Gu Shen shouted, Chi Huo not fearing the box’s scorching attempt in the least.
The second bead of the Six Blessings bracelet remained stable with no reaction, and Gu Shen slowly lifted the small box away from the ground.
Thousands of delicate links between the box’s bottom and the ground patterns grew as it was lifted, increasing the resistance the higher it got.
Veins bulged on Gu Shen’s forehead.
Before he could exert more force, the Chi Huo in his palm suddenly spread out on its own, forming a thin net that wrapped around the gospel box.
This was the sa action it had intended to do when it tried to devour the second hand of the stopwatch, reproducing the process towards the gospel box, spreading and wrapping around it, then abruptly tightening.
This net severed all connections between the box and the ground Array Patterns.
Pulling it out no longer required any effort.
Due to excessive force, Gu Shen even fell on his butt on the ground.
He was grimacing in pain and quickly checked the small casket in his palm…
Chi Huo was very well-behaved, spitting out the small box it had swallowed at the end, with a look as if it was seeking praise for its achievents.
“Are you trying to beco a spirit?”
Gu Shen rubbed his bottom, cursed with a smile, and praised, “Well done!”
Chi Huo was spinning joyfully in the air without any wind, even appearing a bit elated.
Seeing this, Gu Shen couldn’t help but silently chuckle.
This Chi Huo…
was just like a human toddler, needing just a few light words of praise to be happy all day long.
The little fla began to forcefully absorb the mist in the factory, like a vacuum cleaner, quickly sweeping through the factory…
Previously, because of Shi Li, Gu Shen had dared not use Chi Huo to its full extent, but now it was different.
After the removal of the Gospel Box, the fog in the factory was the Extraordinary Essence that was about to disperse into the air, rich and precious.
In less than a minute, the factory, where you previously couldn’t see your hand in front of your face, beca extrely clear.
The small fla, still not satisfied, jumped a few tis on the ground, obviously asking Gu Shen…whether it could eat these patterns etched on the ground.
The Gospel Box combined with the patterns on the ground produced a continuous stream of fog.
Now that the box was removed, there was still a lot of Extraordinary Aura remaining in the ground carvings.
“…
Go ahead and eat,”
After pondering for a mont, Gu Shen nodded in approval.
The Yuan Dan Street case had been resolved by him…
The fog inside the factory and the engravings on the ground were just so unclaid Extraordinary Essence.
If he didn’t consu it, others would have to deal with it, which would be a waste.
Cui Zhongcheng wouldn’t investigate the whereabouts of these Extraordinary Essences.
Ten minutes later.
The small fla, satisfied, slowly descended and landed on Gu Shen’s forehead, letting out a satisfied burp.
This al…
was even more satisfying than the last ti it devoured the Extraordinary Essence from Qu Shui!
“Eating from the bowl, thinking of what’s in the pot,” Gu Shen pinched the spot between his eyebrows and muttered softly, “You haven’t fully digested Qu Shui’s essence, and you’re already eating more.
Aren’t you afraid of overindulging?”
He was actually sowhat worried…
this little guy was such a glutton.
What to do in the future?
Looking at the mist that had dissipated, Gu Shen slowly exhaled, “Fortunately…
the Yuan Dan Street case has finally co to an end.”
He took out his cellphone.
With the fog gone…the signal that was blocked by the Extraordinary Essence also returned.
…
…
“Zhou Yexin’s father, Zhou Yu, was a mber of the Judgent Institute’s special action group, an almost S-tier rated Transcendent, a well-known genius Judge throughout the entire Yinghai District.
It is a pity that he died in an explosion before he could shine his own light,”
“An almost S-tier rated Transcendent died in an explosion?”
“Yes…
It is indeed sothing incomprehensible, but it is the truth.
There was not a trace of Extraordinary Aura found at the scene.
As for what you ntioned, the ‘Blood Fire’ you saw in Zhou Yexin’s dream, it is even more elusive…
The Judgent Institute dispatched their top investigators at the ti, but they ca back empty-handed.”
At the top floor of Huazhi Building.
Grand Judge Tang Qingquan, standing before the floor-to-ceiling window, looked sowhat lonely.
He slowly said, “Zhou Yu was my fellow disciple.
He could have beco the brightest star in East Continent.
After the incident, I also personally went to the scene…
Gu Shen, I can tell you responsibly that there was no Extraordinary Aura detected in that explosion.”
Cui Zhongcheng’s voice rang out.
“Or perhaps…
it was an Extraordinary Ability beyond our understanding, just like this major fog at Yuan Dan Street.” Mr.
Xiao Cui was studying a compass laid out before him with gloves on, ticulously examining it.
He said, “If not for Gu Shen…
even if this fog had been resolved, we would only believe that it was Shi Li’s doing.
No one would know that the real man behind all this, hiding within the compass, was watching our every move.”
“Blood and fire…”
Tang Qingquan murmured softly, shaking his head, “This information is too scant…
You’ve talked to him, seen him, didn’t you rember any distinctive features?”
“The person likely possesses Spiritual Ability,” Gu Shen sighed softly, “I tried to capture it, but I failed.”
Cui Zhongcheng and Tang Qingquan were both a bit disappointed.
But they were aware…
if all this was true, then the owner of the compass, the killer who took the life of “Zhou Yu” years ago, had strength far surpassing Gu Shen.
It wouldn’t be strange for Gu Shen to fail to rember any distinguishing features.
“There are so ancient characters carved on this compass…” Cui Zhongcheng said indifferently, “I’m not clear what these ancient characters represent, but since he asked you to keep the compass…
he will likely contact you again.”
“Am I to keep this compass?” Gu Shen was sowhat troubled, “Or maybe you should keep it and deal with him yourself.”
Cui Zhongcheng calmly said, “Since the compass was not handed over to …
it indicates that he doesn’t wish to communicate with .
Transferring its ownership may possibly sever the connection.
Currently, it seems we don’t have much choice.”
“Though receiving the compass is not unthinkable, I’m too aware of my own limits…” Gu Shen said sowhat helplessly, but then earnestly asked, “Deep Sea Third Level, save Da Du?
Mr.
Xiao Cui, are you serious?”
“Being able to advance to Deep Sea Third Level in such a short amount of ti after awakening your ability proves that you truly are one in ten thousand.
Don’t underrate yourself,” Cui Zhongcheng said calmly and indifferently, “I only told you to take good care of the compass, I didn’t ask you to do anything.
When the sky falls, it’s the taller one’s job to bear it; it’s not your turn yet.”
Gu Shen sighed softly.
Then he suddenly asked, “Mr.
Tang…
there’s one more thing.
At the scene of the incident, was a rabbit doll found?”
