Chapter Eleven The Shadow of Gus
Chapter 11 The Shadow of Guts
On the way back to Liudaosi, Su Xia looked out the window. In a green park, some young children were having fun playing in the children's facilities, but the parents of these children were nowhere to be seen.
"Degenerates are evil spirits who forcibly inject mental power into ordinary people. The true spirits of ordinary people cannot withstand the power of the mind, which causes the true spirits to fall into ignorance and turn into humanoid beasts that only know how to kill."
Jiang Zhuxuan, who was sitting next to Su Xia, also noticed the children Su Xia was looking at.
"We are protecting these children by killing the fallen ones and the evil spirits. Thinking about it this way, doesn't it feel like a great achievement?" Jiang Zhuxuan said with a smile.
"Do you feel a sense of accomplishment?" Su Xia looked to the other side. Opposite the park where the children were playing, there was a building that looked a bit old.
Below the building, in the dim alleys of the streets, in front of dilapidated tents, some unkempt homeless people were nibbling cold noodles.
Above the homeless people, a huge monitor was playing an interview program that Xu Chen remembered.
The female host, wearing neat professional ol' attire and exquisite makeup, sat in front of the studio.
"Viewers, welcome to today's "Songjiang Focus". We are honored to invite Mr. Song Ke, CEO of Chow Chow Group, to the studio today to answer some focus questions."
The camera zoomed out to reveal a tall, handsome man in imperial formal attire sitting next to the female host.
"Hello everyone, my name is Song Ke. Today we will focus on issues such as our Chow Chow Group's social responsibility to the consortium, workers' treatment and employment opportunities..."
Su Xia couldn't hear the rest of the words clearly, the vehicle was far away, and she could only vaguely see that the homeless people were indifferent to the sounds coming from the display above, and just continued to nibble on the cold and hard noodles in their hands.
…
Returning to Liudaosi, Jiang Zhuxuan asked Su Xia to wait in the department, and then went to the governor's office with the Liudao guards from the attack team to report on their work.
Su Xia still remembered what Jiang Zhuxuan said about the introductory information on basic mental usage, and found Old Man Lin at the task release desk on the same floor.
"Grandpa Lin."
Su Xia gently woke up Old Lin from his nap.
"Boy, just call me Old Man Lin. Except for Zhuxun girl, no one else calls me Grandpa that way." Old Man Lin opened his eyes and looked at Su Xia and said.
Being stared at by Old Man Lin, Su Xia felt unspeakable pressure for a moment.
[Warning?]
Su Xia didn't know what the secret was behind the title "Grandpa Lin", but since Old Man Lin had said so, there was no need to deliberately try to get close to him.
"I understand, old man." Su Xia said respectfully.
Old Man Lin withdrew his gaze and returned to his original laziness.
"What's up?"
"Commissioner Jiang asked me to come and get a basic introduction to the use of mental energy."
"Don't Six Paths Academy teach these anymore?" Old Lin looked at Su Xia in surprise and asked.
"No." Su Xia shook her head. Xu Chen had indeed not been taught this in his memory.
"Here." Old Man Lin made a casual move, and two books from the bookcase behind him flew out and landed on the counter.
Su Xia didn't notice the existence of Xin Li at all. Liu Daosi really pulled out anyone who was stronger than him.
"The book above is about the basic application of mind power, and the book below is about the basic combat methods of mind power. You should read it first to lay the foundation. There are many ways of fighting for spirit envoys, and the department has related records of various systems, etc.
Now that you are in the first level, come and choose from me."
"Okay, thank you, old man."
Old man Lin waved his hand.
"Is there anything else? Just leave if you have nothing to do. Don't disturb the old man while I sleep in the middle of the night."
Su Xia nodded towards Old Man Lin, turned around and walked away with two books.
Old man Lin glanced at Su Xia's back, muttered, closed his eyes and went to sleep.
The other side.
Su Xia came out of the task release office with two books in her arms. She was about to go to the training floor of the Special Service Office on the 34th floor to practice the contents of the two mind-related books she had just received. When she turned the corner, she met someone who came out of the governor's office.
Leader of the assault team.
"Commissioner Xu Chen." The team leader smiled and raised his hand to greet Su Xia, "I was planning to go find you, but the governor asked you to come over."
"Here we come." Su Xia responded, took the book and followed the team leader into the governor's office.
Song Yu glanced at the book in Su Xia's hand, turned to Jiang Zhuxun and said, "Zhuxun, later you take Commissioner Xu Chen to the logistics office to get a spiritual ring."
"Okay." Jiang Zhuxuan and the leader of the attack team were both a little surprised, but Jiang Zhuxuan came to his senses and responded.
"Commissioner Xu Chen, please recount the incident at the Platinum Tea House." Song Yu said.
"Okay." Su Xia told Song Yu everything in detail, from entering the Platinum Tea House to discovering the aura of the Fallen, to the attack team killing the Fallen.
There was not much expression change on Song Yu's face. What Su Xia said was basically consistent with what Jiang Zhuxuan, the leader of the attack team, reported.
"Shuguang cross-compared the internal surveillance of Platinum Tea House with the city surveillance database and identified the suspect."
Song Yu picked up the remote control on his desk and pressed it, and a video was projected behind Su Xia and the others.
The video starts playing.
In the dim bar, a strong man wearing a hood with his back to the surveillance camera sat in front of the tea master who was killed by the fallen.
The sound in the bar was too noisy and I couldn't hear clearly the conversation between the two. I could only see that a minute later, the man took out a plastic bottle from his pocket, put it on the table and pushed it in front of the tea waiter.
The picture was frozen, then enlarged, and after several refreshes, the originally blurry picture became increasingly clear.
A red pill lies quietly in a plastic bottle.
Su Xia frowned.
Doesn’t this suspect know that the bar also has surveillance?
No, it's impossible.
He had his back turned to the surveillance camera and was wearing a hood. It was almost certain that he was aware of the surveillance range of the bar.
He could have used a dark opaque bottle to contain the red pills, or he could have covered the red pills with the back of his hand or other methods and handed them to the tea master.
But he didn't do that.
Was it intentional or accidental?
As the screen turned, a portrait and information emerged.
"Through body comparison and a small number of facial features revealed by the suspect in surveillance, Sugon established a facial portrait of the suspect."
"This is the suspect's portrait and information."
On the left is a portrait of a middle-aged man with regular features and a particularly calm look, while on the right is a photo of a middle-aged man who is almost exactly the same as the portrait.
Su Xia recognized this person and had read his information.
Bishop of the Order of the Stars
Second level middle level spiritual master
