[Earth-Moon Orbital Store - Kenta Bar]
Yu Ze was invited here and found a private room near the inside. Pushing open the door, he looked at the man and woman in front of him and calculated with his fingers.
"Fellow townsman, this hobby of yours is pretty twisted... The Investigation Bureau must never know about this, as it could affect your personal assessment and prevent you from being placed in our department.
Corpse Regeneration, Slave Construction, Underage Girl.
Just combining any two of these keywords would be enough to give you a hard time."
Yu Ze closed the door and casually attached a soundproof talisman.
Looking at Wendy All, who should have been detained in Border City Prison but was now sitting here. After catching a glimpse of the confusion and grayness in her eyes, he shifted his gaze back to Luo Di.
"However, this is indeed a good method of investigation. This girl could potentially play a key role in solving the case.
Unfortunately, higher-ups have made it clear, I shouldn’t interfere excessively with your mission; at most, I can help you guys enter the platform without registering her identity.
The other two Invisibility Talismans are thrown in as an extra gift."
Watching Luo Di enter the platform.
Yu Ze changed his usual casual demeanor, slid his glasses down his nose, and gave a special kind of stare. Not scrutinizing a friend, but rather surveying a suspect.
"Fellow townsman, I know you won’t stoop to such base acts. But a word of caution, don’t commit acts even more deplorable than the base ones.
You might subjectively justify your actions as merely a righteous venting.
But once those acts are committed, you will have utterly disqualified yourself in a certain sense."
Luo Di just glanced back at Yu Ze and then led the girl onto the vehicle.
Watching the maglev train rapidly disappear from view, Yu Ze put his hands in his pockets and whistled as he left.
His help this time saw him encountering a critical [Girl], leading to a cause (因).
He could now approximately calculate the final effect (果).
Just as Yu Ze was about to drop his hand, he paused. This time he did not calculate, instead, he just put his hand in his pocket and disappeared into the bustling crowd.
Moon City - Rental Apartment
"Young man, you’re back?"
The elderly couple seemed to see a man and a girl passing by their window but when they went out to check, they only found Luo Di alone, who had already reached the staircase corner, briefly greeting them.
Although it was odd, they did not inquire further.
Returning to the rental room.
Luo Di did not remove the Invisibility Talisman from Wendy’s forehead.
"Living here alone, you can blend in with the neighborhood, but with two people it’s not suitable... Going up and down every day would attract attention, not to mention this kind of ordinary apartment building can easily expose us.
Since things have turned out this way, it’s time to find a new place to live."
The girl wearing the Invisibility Talisman stood at the corner of the bedroom, maintaining her bodily functions with the shallowest of breaths.
Her pupils were covered with a layer of gray, seemingly completely sealing off her own consciousness, turning her into an obedient slave.
Luo Di started searching on his computer.
A month of forum browsing greatly improved his proficiency with the computer, quickly finding a rental agency in Moon City. Based solely on video information, he confirmed the rental.
A small western-style house in a remote area with relatively sparse building density, which came with a basement on the first floor.
Luo Di directly paid the deposit online and signed the agreement; now all that was left was to move in. In Moon City, as long as the money is right, everything else is easy, no cumbersome procedures.
After quickly packing two suitcases,
he communicated his intention to the girl bearing the Invisibility Talisman, who then, like a lifeless body, quietly and uncomplainingly followed him.
When processing the checkout, Luo Di gave an extra week’s fees, and the granny quickly understood, smacking her husband on the buttocks.
"Hurry up and drive your clunker to give this handsome guy a lift."
Although the old man was over sixty, because he frequently drove unlicensed taxis and sometimes had to deal with rental disputes, his body remained robust, and his observational skills were sharp.
He just needed to glance at the passengers in the backseat through the rear-view mirror to discern their character and whether they had money.
When the youth got into the car, he unexpectedly noticed the car shook twice. Using his years of driving experience, he inferred that there should be two passengers in the back. However, the rear-view mirror only showed Luo Di alone.
The city had already been enveloped by night, with few pedestrians.
The car followed the navigation, driving through a long and dark tunnel, forcing his pupils to constrict.
As they drove out of the tunnel, bright moonlight suddenly pierced through the car windows, causing discomfort to the eyes, forcing a slight squint.
In this state, the old man habitually glanced at the rear-view mirror.
Through the somewhat blurred vision, when looking at the back seats, he actually saw two people, one was the familiar young man, and the other was a girl dressed in a ragged white dress with a talisman on her forehead.
The girl’s body was full of markings sewn by needles and threads, showing no signs of life.
Her slightly open mouth also revealed utterly broken teeth.
Not like a human, not a human. This update ıs available on novel-fire.net
But as the old man’s vision gradually became clearer, only the young man remained in the back seat.
Even so, cold sweat still flowed down the temples of the old man, who had lived in Moon City for so many years and had encountered Spiritual Body Pseudo Persons before.
He was more than 90% certain that he had not seen it wrong earlier.
"Mr. Di, there is no one else beside you, right?"
Destination - Roswell District arrived.
When Luo Di got out of the car, he also paid the fare alone, as not to waste the driver’s effort. Though the old man tried to decline, he eventually took the money.
Just as he turned to leave and looked towards the youth who wasn’t far away through the side mirror.
The youth just happened to walk under a bright street lamp, and the side mirror once again reflected a pair of shoeless pale soles, following right behind the young man.
"There really is something!"
The old man gritted his teeth, ignoring the danger, and slammed on the brakes, preparing to get out of the car to warn the young man.
As soon as he pushed open the car door, Luo Di under the streetlight had already tilted his head in advance, signaling him to just go back.
On Luo Di’s side, he glanced at the talisman on the girl’s head, which seemed to have greatly weakened due to time.
Next, he was about to meet with the housing agent, in order to avoid scaring the agent, he simply removed the Invisibility Talisman, allowing the girl to follow behind him.
After all, the two of them appeared to be of similar age and wouldn’t be misunderstood.
Moreover, Wendy’s image had already become completely different from before, completely different individuals.
Border City Prison had already registered her death information; as long as she didn’t expose herself, the forces behind her would not investigate.
"You must be Mr. Di! Welcome to Moon City for your visit. Building 7, Room 102 is your rental, the one-month lease procedure has been completed, you can move in with your luggage right away.
Here is your room key, do I need to accompany you inside the room?"
The agent was very happy as well, since it’s rare for people to rent apartments in this area, and it was settled so smoothly.
Although the agent found the girl following behind the young man a bit peculiar, he didn’t pay much attention to it as such oddness is too normal in Moon City.
Speak less, ask less, see less; these can significantly increase the survival rate.
A three-bedroom apartment with fine decoration including a basement, this is the best rental Luo Di has ever had.
"You are responsible for taking things related to the Murderer—like figurines, posters, and the like—down to the basement and arrange them, I’ll come down later."
When Luo Di had roughly arranged the inside of the house, secured the doors and windows, and walked down the stairs to the basement,
he unexpectedly found that the girl had arranged things even better than he had anticipated, displaying a good taste in the Murderer aspect.
Now that they had settled down,
and since this basement had no windows and was completely sealed,
Snap! Luo Di snapped his fingers, temporarily lifting the color restrictions in the girl’s brain.
Her pupils immediately became lively,
first touching her body with her hands, then she looked incredulously at the young man in front of her, at this young man who clearly executed and killed her—[Perfect Killer].
"My... The thing in my brain has been cleared... I have been reborn in another form... I have escaped the control of the Venerable."
The girl’s brain was processing information at high speed.
The moment she finished, she lunged towards Luo Di, not to attack but to show affection.
a finger was pointed at her throat, ready to completely pierce through if she continued forward.
At the same time, a commanding tone was accompanied by the exhalation of ashes:
"First, without my permission, do not touch me.
Second, you can only stay in this basement, there is a restroom for your physiological needs.
Third, once the matters in Moon City are over, I will still kill you.
Now, you can properly discuss with me about the information on the organization behind you."
Wendy was not angry, her pupils filled with love and gratitude.
Her goal had already been achieved back in the prison, to continue living in this way was far beyond her expectations.
