Chapter 479 - 65: The Unknown Killer

Chang Yi had already arrived at the scene, with a little boy clinging to his leg, looking somewhat timid.

However, this area shouldn’t be under their team’s jurisdiction... Su Changxing walked over and asked, "Why did you come here?"

Seeing Su Changxing, Chang Yi smirked and said:

"Leader, my sister and the others are over here, luckily they are all fine,"

He had heard that something was wrong over here, so he hurried over.

Su Changxing nodded and said, "Hmm, you should have arranged for them to move here earlier."

Chang Yi chuckled and replied, "I’ve just been too busy all the time to manage it, mainly didn’t expect something like this to happen."

His face turned somber as he said, "It feels like the Doomsday Cult people, they’ve gone mad, lost their humanity, and can attack their own kind without hesitation."

Su Changxing looked up at the building, feeling a chilling aura, and said, "This Doomsday Cult is indeed unusual, there’s something about them."

He realized that the Doomsday Cult seemed not to be a simple organization of players, mixed with other forces.

Su Changxing glanced at the little boy and said:

"You should take the child away from here first, I’ll go take a look upstairs."

Shen Jinxuan took out a piece of chocolate from her pocket and smiled, "Hey kid, want some candy?"

The little boy looked at the chocolate and said, "No, mom says I shouldn’t eat stuff from strangers, and candy is too childish."

Are kids today really that mature?

Shen Jinxuan was stunned, holding the chocolate: "······"

Chang Yi slapped the boy on the head and said irritably, "Just take it when given, why talk so much nonsense."

"······"

The boy obediently took the chocolate, his face showing a look of wanting to cry without tears.

Su Changxing and his companion walked upstairs. From the third floor onward, the corridors were filled with blood-red characters or patterns, dense and orderly.

"Seems like some kind of ritual?"

He was somewhat shocked, wondering how the Doomsday Cult people had acquired this knowledge.

Even setting up a simple ritual requires a foundation of a lot of related Extraordinary Knowledge; doing it haphazardly would backfire.

The last time he managed to set up a ritual that helped others pave the way was purely by accident.

This method is not advisable.

Moreover, the person setting up the ritual has a clear purpose.

[Unknown Rune Ritual: It seems to extract the energy born of death······]

Shen Jinxuan touched the bloody runes with her hand and found they were not blood, but something like paint, or paint made with blood, and asked:

"What is this for?"

Su Changxing thought and said, "I’m not very clear on the specifics, but I estimate it’s to gain power, become an Extraordinary, or a breakthrough in advancement?"

They continued walking up the stairs.

A slightly rough voice came from above.

"Don’t touch those things, the Leader will come to check them in a bit."

"Hey, Squad Leader Lu, do you think the perpetrator could be an Extraordinary? It seems like in a very short time, most people on this floor died."

"It’s possible, but it doesn’t matter, our Leader is a very powerful Extraordinary."

······

His face had a few stubbles, neatly trimmed, exuding an air of shrewdness.

A man with a slightly bloated figure, dressed in a police uniform and holding a tobacco pipe, was leaning against the corridor, chatting with a few teammates.

Lu Yu, who used to be an administrator at the underground base of the Security Bureau in the Doomsday World, is now one of the Squad Leaders of Team 17.

"Ha, Leader Su, you finally came over."

Seeing Su Changxing, he greeted him with a smiling face.

Su Changxing nodded and asked,

"Hmm, Old Lu, how’s the situation here?"

Lu Yu led the way and said, "From the current situation, it should be a Superpower User, or an Extraordinary. Within about ten minutes, 222 people died here, not one more, not one less."

"The culprit should be living in Residence No. 4, disguised as a civilian. No one’s seen any suspicious person from yesterday till now."

"All residents are registered by real name, so we suspect the perpetrator has some hidden ability that avoided everyone’s sight."

Lu Yu, being an old Criminal Investigator, was quite proficient in this area, but now with the presence of Extraordinary Powers, the situation was somewhat different.

Su Changxing nodded thoughtfully, finding Lu Yu’s judgment reasonable, turned his head to Shen Jinxuan and said,

"Take a look at the situation?"

Shen Jinxuan nodded, her pupils flashing with dark blue light, walked through the corridor, looked around····· in the room, people in the corridor fell one by one, their bodies dismembered.

She was silent for a while, frowned slightly, and said softly, "I didn’t see the perpetrator."

Lu Yu showed an "I see" expression, saying, "So the culprit really has some hidden ability."

Su Changxing didn’t speak, scanning his surroundings, the "True Knowledge" didn’t reveal anything significant either, except confirming that an Extraordinary had indeed appeared here before.

Things seemed to hit a dead end here.

The perpetrator perfectly avoided everyone’s sight, yet such a method seemed overly skillful, not like something a newly minted Extraordinary would have.

You have to know, their world didn’t have any Extraordinaries before, they all emerged in the Doomsday World, or became Extraordinaries upon returning to the real world.

"It’s a bit strange, let’s temporarily not have anyone reside here, I’ll think of another way."

Su Changxing said decisively.

Despite the short time, given his analytical ability, no useful clues could be found, thinking further was pointless, lacking key information.

However, other angles can be explored, such as the Doomsday Cult, no beating around the bush, nor need to gather any evidence.

Going downstairs, Shen Jinxuan said thoughtfully, "The perpetrator probably doesn’t have a hiding ability, but rather was hiding somewhere in the building at the time."

Su Changxing stopped and asked, "Hmm, why so?"

Shen Jinxuan showed a sly smile and said,

"Because I didn’t see him~"

Su Changxing nodded and continued walking, saying, "Hmm, true, but it’s okay if we can’t find them."

Shen Jinxuan was thoughtful and asked, "You know who it is?"

Su Changxing shrugged slightly and replied,

"Not really, but since it’s already suspected to be the Doomsday Cult, just find a way to wipe out their lair, you can’t catch the monk, but you can catch the temple."

Shen Jinxuan looked surprised and said quietly, "That’s quite rough."

Su Changxing came back to his senses, "Hmm? Rough?"

Shen Jinxuan nodded and confirmed, "A bit, they don’t seem to have done anything outrageous publicly."
