"That's why you policemen brought me, a law-abiding good citizen, with these shackles and brought me here at nine o'clock in the evening?" Bai Liu raised the heavy silver shackles on his hands and shook them , lightly changed the topic, "This surveillance video is not conclusive evidence at all."

"Aren't you too arbitrary to arrest people like this, sir?"

Su Chao coughed in embarrassment.

That's true, this video is just going to be used to defraud Bai Liu, it's not the core evidence that can be used to arrest people.

"I'm just a laid-off worker who lives in a cheap rental house." Bai Liu said lightly, "If I can get the thing that cures all diseases you mentioned, what can I do to feed these children for free? You have investigated me, you should know that I am short of money, right?"

Bai Liu's financial situation is indeed not very good. If he got that blood ganoderma, he would just feed it to the children without leaving his name. , Few people can resist this temptation, let alone Bai Liu has been laid off for almost a month.

"An ordinary laid-off worker? Why did Miao, who killed her son and committed suicide not long ago, shout your name in horror before cutting her throat?" Su Chao quickly recovered his calm, and then he pressed the remote control.

A new little video appeared on the screen.

On the screen is Miao Gaozhi's tired, crazy, crazy face, his eyeballs are sunken and his cheekbones are high, he compares his throat with a knife, there are messy bloodstains at his feet, not far away is Miao Feichi lying dead. corpse.

Someone said: "Miao Gao is stiff! Calm down first! Put down the knife!"

"Suicide can't solve any problems! You control yourself first. If there is any problem that can't be solved, you can talk to our police!"

Miao Gaozhan shook his head in horror, his hands and feet convulsed, and roared hoarsely and sharply: "I'm already dead! I was killed by Bai Liu!!"

"This is not suicide, this is homicide!" Miao Gaojiang seemed to be resisting the knife in his hand, his forehead was tense, as if he kept moving away from the knife in his hand, but his hand seemed to be controlled by self-consciousness, It pierced into the large blood vessel in his neck, and he screamed in despair, "This is homicide!!"

"Bai Liu! Bai Liu! Bai Liu and that statue are the ones who murdered me!!"

The blood from the artery shot out and sprayed on the ceiling. Miao Gao held the knife stuck in his neck with his eyes open, and fell into a pool of blood.

The video freezes on the scene of Miao Gao slumped to the ground, and Su Chou turns to look at Bai Liu: "Do you have anything to say?"

"I have nothing to say." Bai Liu's face remained unchanged, and his eyes were full of confusion, "Comrade policeman, I don't know this person at all. Is this the person mentioned in the news? Didn't he commit suicide?" Yes, you also filmed the whole process of his suicide, what does it have to do with me?"

"He yelled your name before he died." Su Chao looked directly at Bai Liu and emphasized, "He said it was a homicide, but you killed him, this is most likely the death left to us by Comrade Miao message."

"So this Comrade Miao's death turned into a homicide?" Bai Liu looked at Su Chao with a half-smile, "Captain Su, you forced me like this, I'm very fragile psychologically, if I can't bear you The pressure exerted on me committed suicide, and I can also shout your name when I commit suicide, so the same reason can be proved, Captain Su, you are also the murderer who killed me, right?"

Su Chao let out a breath slowly, and didn't answer Bai Liu's words, if he did, he would follow the rhythm of this person's conversation.

Bai Liu was more inexperienced than he thought and adapted to this kind of cliché, but he really looked like an ordinary person based on his resume.

"Of course I didn't mean that, but you are indeed suspicious, Comrade Bai Liu." Su Chao turned around.

"You policemen always talk about evidence, right?" Bai Liu glanced at Su Chao unhurriedly, "Besides that I look suspicious, is there any evidence that instructs me to kill this Miao?"

Bai Liu reread the word "watch".

Su Chao fell silent again.

Bai Liu and Miao Gaozhuan had no relationship at all, the two had never met each other, and there was no overlap in their life experiences, they were completely unrelated, which made Miao Gaozhuan crazily shouting Bai Liu's name before he died. Things got weirder, and because of that, the case was moved to the Bureau of Dangerous Heresy.

But apart from Miao Gaojiang's rambunctious voice, there was indeed no evidence in this case.

Bai Liu asked calmly: "So there is really no evidence, Captain Su, then I don't quite understand why you can use such a strong method to arrest me here for interrogation without any evidence at all? This is not in line with my common sense of law."

Su Chao and Bai Liu looked at each other tiredly, as if they hadn't woken up for a while, and he finally felt as if he had realized his conscience, and sighed helplessly. Su Chao took out a new small bottle from his breast pocket and put it in the bottle. On the table in front of Bai Liu.

Rolling in this small bottle, there is a stream of pink gas floating around, like a universe formed by falling stars, sparkling around in the small bottle, it looks very beautiful.

Bai Liu's eyes moved slightly - it was very similar to the pink smoke that he saw Tavel disintegrate into in his dream.

"This is a gas perfume that has been very popular recently on the Internet. It's called Dried Leaf Rose Gas." Su Chao looked at the small pink bottle full of girly and dreamy atmosphere, "There is a scent in it." It is an invigorating substance. It is said that as long as it is sprayed on the body, it can maintain a high-functioning state for a whole day. Therefore, this perfume is used by many companies as an air freshener in the company, so it has an alias called [gas coffee] and [love to work].”

"But recently we found that after companies that use this perfume on a large scale, their employees have certain symptoms of madness after they stop using or replace it." Su Chao was quiet for a while, and then said, "But the strange thing is , this perfume was tested with all known instruments, and no harmful ingredients could be detected. It fully complied with the perfume manufacturing and sales standards. We found something wrong, so we took over the case and transferred this part of the staff to the Treatment and research take place here."

"...after repeated testing, it was found that the symptoms of these employees were very similar to withdrawal symptoms."

Bai Liu's eyes fell on the little bottle, and he understood what Su Chao meant.

"We define this perfume as a new type of gaseous opium, and we are going to give these employees a forcible withdrawal." Su Chao took a deep breath, "But something happened during the withdrawal."

Su Chou held the remote control and switched it a few times before calling out a video.

In the video, a middle-aged man with protruding eyeballs keeps attacking and howling. His face is the same pink color as in the small bottle of gas. The veins on his forehead are bulging, and he keeps beating himself and the wall. Someone came in and tied him to a chair, and he tore it apart in no time.

Soon, amidst the man's miserable screams, a strange change occurred. A rose that was about to wither appeared clearly in the man's pupil, and then the flesh and blood on his body began to dry and black, as if withered Like a rose petal, he peeled off one by one, and finally there was only a pile of impossibly clean white skeletons sitting on the chair, and then scattered down.

There is a loud background sound in the video:

"... cedt-0756 contaminated subject tried to quit for 6 days, 17 hours and 56 minutes, failed..."

Video ends.

Su Chao didn't look at the screen, and his voice was a bit dry when he spoke again: "...We tried many methods, and then found that there was no other way to keep these employees alive except to continue to let them use this perfume called Rose Dried Leaf Gas... "

"No, they will wither."

Su Chao said that it was quiet for a while.

"But the production and sales chain of this kind of thing must not exist, but it was too late when we found out..." Su Chao smiled wryly, and he picked up the rose-colored bottle, "You know this thing is in the How many sales are there in a month on the Internet? Hundreds of thousands, doubling every month, so many people are using this thing, if you stop using it..."

"So?" Bai Liu asked unmoved, "Captain Su, what you said has nothing to do with me, right? If you arrest me, I can't solve it."

Su Chao looked straight at Bai Liu: "No, you have a solution."

He stood up on the table, leaned forward and looked into Bai Liu's eyes: "Our captain said, you are a monster who can solve all the evil things in this world, as long as you are caught, these crazy things will stop going." Our world is overwhelmed."

Hearing this sentence, Bai Liu raised his eyebrows in surprise.

———————

A tall, burly, drunk man in uniform was helped by several team members to the small room where Bai Liu was held. The team members slapped their noses looking at the man who was drunk and collapsed into a pool of mud: "How much did Team Tang drink?" ah?!"

"I don't know, I don't know how long it's been lying at the gate of the base, and I was discovered by the team members on patrol." The team member who supported the man smiled wryly, "Where is the Su team? Still studying the newly captured humanoid heresy? Eh, I see Team Tang like this now, and I don’t know whether he commanded us to arrest ordinary people or real heretics..."

"We still have to trust Team Tang for this. After all, he has a special ability to foresee the future, which is why he has such a high emergency authority. Moreover, he was right in mobilizing us to catch him before. This time it should be... right? "

The eyes of several team members fell on Captain Tang, who was covered by hair that hadn't been taken care of for an unknown period of time. This drunk Captain Tang smashed his mouth and picked his thighs.

The team members hesitated again: "Although... Tang team has been drinking a bit outrageously recently, but Tang team didn't mean that the more he drank, the more he entered the state of being so drunk that he lost his mind. He can see Will there be more heresies in the future?"

"Do you believe that too? It's just an excuse for him to drink." Su Chao opened the door and walked out of the small room. He casually answered the team member's words, "When Tang Er didn't drink a drop before the fight, he could also be accurate. The one who can predict the time and place where those evil things will appear, but now that he is drinking, his ability is getting weaker and weaker, and the last few actions have been in vain, probably because he drank alcohol into his head."

Seeing Tang Erda lying motionless on the ground and still snoring slightly, the blue veins on Su Chong's forehead twitched slightly: "Go to cedt-0076 Eternal Ice Room to get some ice water to wake him up."

The ice water poured down, and the man lying flat on the ground sat up coughing and coughing. This man's hair was a bit sloppy, curly and drooping on both sides of the ears. Wiping the ice water off his chin with his thumb, he lazily curled up one foot and stood up unsteadily.

This man's uniform was crooked, and the buttons on the neckline were fastened with only a few buttons. The badge on the right chest was raised to the lower jaw, and it read: [Captain of the Third Detachment of the Dangerous Heresy Management Department— -Tang Er Da].

"Huh-hiccup!" The man let out a belch that smelled of strong alcohol, and pushed back the wet hair that covered his eyes, revealing a pair of extremely sharp and long, wolf-like eyes. Dark blue eyes.

Obviously his whole body was covered in the smell of alcohol, but Tang Erda's eyes didn't smell of alcohol at all, but it was only for a moment, and soon he was propped on the wall in a daze and shook his head: "This bar wall Why does it look like the wall of the base..."

Su Chao slowly and helplessly raised his forehead: "After three minutes, wake him up and send him into the small room, let him deal with the humanoid heretic Bai Liu that he must catch back by himself."

Three minutes later, Bai Liu raised his eyebrows and looked at the drenched man sitting in front of his door, and his eyes moved down to the breastplate of the person opposite him: "You are the one who Su Chou said, you must catch me." Captain Tang?"

"I don't know why you must think that catching me can solve these... weird little problems you are facing." Bai Liu's eyes swept across the small rose-colored bottle on the table, and then looked up at Tang Erda who was opposite, "I'm just a laid-off ordinary citizen."

"Tsk, ordinary citizen? Hehe." Tang Erda took out a pack of cigarettes wrapped in a plastic bag from his pocket, he lighted it up unhurriedly, took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly, the scarlet smoke The point jumped on his index finger, reflected in Tang Er's wolf-like eyes.

He stared at Bai Liu without moving his eyes for a while, and suddenly the corners of his mouth curled up into a very hostile smile: "Bai Liu, what are you pretending to be with me?"

"Do you know how many times I've caught you in this place?" Tang Er stood up while supporting himself, put out the cigarette butt on Bai Liu's handcuffs, and sneered at Bai Liu's face. , Stretching out his hand to be afraid of Bai Liu's face, "It's been dozens of times, it's a thousand-year-old fox, why are you playing chat with me?"

Bai Liu leaned back slightly to avoid Tang Er's approach: "But this is the first time we've met, Captain Tang, did you recognize the wrong person?"

Tang Erda fell back again, Da Ma sat on the chair, squinted at Bai Liu with drunken eyes, and suddenly sneered with great disdain: "We met for the first time? This is not you and me The first time we met, I have met you many times."

"The legendary follower of the evil god, Tavel's loyal running dog, the most hated most wanted criminal of all the dangerous heresy handling bureaus in the world, the interface of evil things, the gambler who uses evil things to ruthlessly swallow gold, let me think of you What other name does an all-powerful villain have—"

"Oh yes—" Tang Erda slowly turned his stiff neck, and finally fixed his gaze on Bai Liu's face, "The captain of the famous game team Wandering Circus, Bai Liu, King Bai."

"I don't remember seeing you, Captain Tang, and I don't understand what you're talking about." Bai Liu lied without changing his expression.

Tang Erda suddenly stood up and held Bai Liu's shoulders. He was like a wolf that suddenly attacked and bared his fangs. He entangled Bai Liu's neck with his open tiger's mouth ferociously, and moved slowly from Bai Liu's neck with his index finger. A chain hooked out of his collarbone, on which hung an inverted cross and a grayish fish scale.

Bai Liu didn't hide them, it would be strange for him to talk with so many things in his mouth, and except for the coins, these things hanging around his neck look like ordinary ornaments, and they are also props, and if they are lost, they will not prevent them from entering game.

But the coin is not good. If you lose that thing, you will not be able to enter the game.

"You wear this evil god's reversed cross around your neck. What do you mean by saying that you don't know the only believer of the evil god?" Tang Er weighed the cross in his hand, raised Bai Liu's head with a half-smile, "You Don’t be afraid to offend that evil god, Bai Liu, let me warn you again, you’d better hide your tail before talking to me, and let me guess where you hid your game manager?”

With a sudden force in his hand, Bai Liu couldn't help squinting his jaw in a severe pain, Tang Erda put the plastic bag he used to hold cigarettes on his hand with a bit of disgust, Two fingers were rudely inserted under Bai Liu's tongue, this action made Bai Liu's brows furrowed, and Tang Erda paused.

"No?" Tang Er frowned. Up to now, this strange captain who had always shown a familiarity with Bai Liu showed an unexpected look of surprise when facing Bai Liu for the first time.

"After I captured your other timelines, they were all hidden under your tongue. Why didn't you?" Tang Er clicked his tongue, and he took his hand out of Bai Liu's mouth, with that expression on his face. He shook his hands with a very disgusted look, "Shouldn't you swallow it? You wouldn't do this kind of thing that doesn't conform to your villain's behavioral aesthetics in other timelines."

Tang Erda threw the plastic bag aside casually, and put Bai Liu's jaw back on purpose with great force - there was a crisp, bang, and it hurt a lot.

But Bai Liu didn't show the cowardly look because of the pain as Tang Erda wished. Bai Liu just moved his jaw to adapt, then calmly raised his head and asked Tang Erda: "Other timelines? What is your personal skill?" Time travel? You caught me from other timelines many times?"

"My personal skill is not time travel, the ability to time travel through a high-risk containment here, or in other words, a god-level prop ability in the game." Tang Erda lazily spread his hands and feet and paralyzed On the chair, he put his feet up on the table, resting his head on the back of the chair, and turned his head to the side without looking at Bai Liu, "I won a league once in a certain timeline, got a wish, and then the game ended. I was rewarded with this item according to my wish."

Tang Erda bit his unlit cigarette with his teeth, his eyes were slightly drunk: "This prop can let me jump in different parallel timelines at any time. Whenever I feel dissatisfied or regret something, I will Turn back time to change."

"I thought I was reversing time, but I soon discovered that it was not. I was in a different timeline in parallel time and space, and I did not return to the timeline I was in." Tang Erda drooped his eyelids , chewing cigarette butts.

He said that there was a little silence here, but soon Tang Erda regained his cynical expression, and he turned his head back to look at Bai Liu, "And what's interesting is, Bai Liu, you've been through everything I've been through. In the timeline, they will definitely become the biggest enemy of our Heresy Management Bureau."

"Because in all the eternal and continuous timelines, you are destined to become the only believer of the evil god Tavel." Tang Erda took out a gun from his waist, his eyes were as dim as if he was not awake, but The posture of raising the gun is very steady.

He pointed the gun at Bai Liu's right eye: "Then you, a devil who is desperate for money, used the evil gods you believe in to turn the world into a hell full of evil things in almost all the timelines I have experienced .”

"You use your identity as a believer of evil gods to create all kinds of evil things that can be used to make money. You use sky-high prices to auction mirrors that can reflect things that people fear in their hearts, and let shameless people steal them and then circulate them in the market at high prices repeatedly. Selling, you put the fish bones of the siren in the museum with the most expensive tickets for exhibition, making the viewers go crazy for the rotten beautiful mermaid, you sell the most expensive life-saving medicine blood ganoderma to the rich, and charge these children who suck the blood of children with a smile The reward for the surviving sideburn."

"And this dried rose leaf gas that makes everyone go crazy and wither." Tang Erda looked down at the perfume in the small glass bottle on the table, "After you let it flood, keep increasing its sales. The price, so that the poor who can't afford it will wither in despair in the dissipated fragrance of roses on the unvisited roadside, while the roses in the eyes of the rich who can afford it will bloom happily in the magnificent palace."

Tang Er opened the safety with his thumb, and put his index finger on the trigger. He stared straight into Bai Liu's eyes, with a piercing sharpness in his eyes: "You are just like Yu You, a man who bought human souls for his own benefit. The madman who dumped evil into this world."

"And it's my destiny to kill you."

boom!
