Star Gate

The sky is dark.

Zhang Yuan's home is not in the Qiming community, but on an old street outside the community.

When I was young, Li Hao liked to go to the old street to play.

However, with the development of Silver City, part of the old street was demolished, and the vendors left one after another. The old street gradually became deserted. Now it is sparsely populated, and few people come to the old street anymore.

Even the residents, most of them have moved out, even more deadly than the Qiming community.

On the quiet street, there are some old houses on both sides and some sporadic lights, which looks a little weird.

If time permits, Li Hao should wait slowly, drink a little soaked sword water every day, slowly strengthen himself, and then think about other things.

However, time does not allow Li Hao to do this.

For Li Hao, every day is more dangerous.

Although he may be stronger, however, soaking in the sword water only gives him more energy, and is not enough for Li Hao to deal with the red shadow now.

When you come to Zhang Yuan's house, Li Hao has one purpose. He wants to see if the Stone Blade is still there.

If Stone Blade is still there, it might be good news for Li Hao.

If it can’t be found, it may be taken away by Hongying and the forces behind it. This also means that Li Hao’s sword may have been exposed, and someone may even be hitting his sword. Idea.

Black Panther followed Li Hao silently. In the dark, the black puppy looked extremely unremarkable.

The sound of slight footsteps spread slowly across the street.

Li Hao's complexion is as usual. There is an old house in front with a seal on the door, which is Zhang Yuan's home.

At this moment, he can already see.

No one was seen, and Black Panther did not warn.

However, Li Hao does not place all hopes on Black Panther.

When he was less than 100 meters away from the gate of Zhang Yuan's house, Li Hao took out the communicator and dialed a number.

In the darkness, the communicator emits a faint rays of light, illuminating Li Hao's face.

"Toot toot..."

After a while, there was a full-fledged vocal voice on the other side: "At night, have you figured it out? Can't go down anymore, want to come back?"

The voice is loud!

Through the communicator's amplification, you can stray in the dark streets.

Li Hao, who was still a little frightened, suddenly felt relieved at this moment, with a respectful voice and softly said; "teacher, I don’t have that idea yet."

"Then you hit A fart communication!"

An angry voice came from the other party of the communication.

"The teacher, Zhang Yuan self-immolation case. I have been investigating this year. I have found out a little bit differently. Zhang Yuan...maybe not died accidentally!"

"en?"

In the darkness, Li Hao's complexion was calm, but vaguely with some ferociousness, "I checked, these years, the Silver City self-immolation is not only Zhang Yuan, but Several people, although they don't seem to be related, they are vaguely related. I haven't found specific clues."

Over there, they suddenly became quiet.

Li Hao has already walked to the door of Zhang Yuan’s old house, looked at the somewhat broken seal, and whispered: "I’m at Zhang Yuan’s home now. I want to check if there are any other clues. , It proves that Zhang Yuan was murdered, not an accident."

"Li Hao!"

On the communication side, there was a heavy voice from the old man: "About Zhang Yuan , I also know that, according to your statement, if it is a murder, then you should not go rashly and be careful of accidents!"

After that, I also shouted: "Wait for a while over there, me and The Inspection Division and Ancient Institute say hello. If you need help, someone will come over immediately!" At this moment, Yuan Shuo on the opposite side seems to understand something.

There is no need for Li Hao to say more.

When Li Hao called this newsletter and told him that Zhang Yuan was not an accident, but may have died of murder, and he was at the old Zhang Yuan house, Yuan Shuo instantly understood Li Hao’s mean.

It may be dangerous!

Li Hao, at this moment, we need some sufficient deterrent force to deter some hidden crises.

There is no need for Yuan Shuo to do or say anything.

Just let Yuan Shuo know that his Li Hao is here now and is investigating Zhang Yuan’s case, that’s enough.

A senior figure of the Silver City Ancient Institute, as long as he is paying attention, that is enough.

No one dare to move easily.

Otherwise, the death of a Li Hao may elicit the anger of the ancient Institute old man and cause more troublesome things to happen.

External rumors say that Li Hao and Yuan Shuo had fallen out before.

It turns out that there is no.

On this night, Yuan Shuo's voice lingers far away in the empty streets. If someone has been paying attention here, he will definitely hear Yuan Shuo's words.

Ancient Institute and Inspection Division, people may come.

……

At the moment Li Hao was talking, Black Panther, who had been silent, suddenly bit Li Hao's trouser leg.

Li Hao did not notice any abnormalities.

However, Black Panther is more keen than him after all, and may have felt something, or Yuan Shuo's words have exposed some people's movements and attracted Black Panther's attention.

Someone is really staring here.

Li Hao's heart moved slightly. This is not a bad thing, but a good thing. Someone is staring at the Stone Blade, which represents Zhang Yuan's family. It may really have not been taken away.

In the communication, Yuan Shuo continued to say something.

Li Hao quickly said with a smile: "teacher, it’s not that serious, I’m calling you, just want to talk about it briefly, the key is not this, but I took over the Ancient Institute The protection task of going out for inspection. In a few days, I may protect the teacher and go out together for inspection."

"You?"

Yuan Shuo over there seems to be a little surprised, and soon The laughter said heartily: "Alright, then I'll wait for you! It just so happened that this expedition task is a bit complicated. You have been with me for two years and learned a lot, but you haven't practiced it! Li Hao, this time will be your practical class How? If you perform well, I can consider giving you the status of a non-staff student. Although the Ancient Institute has many rules, as long as you do meritorious work in this investigation, I can still graduate for you!"

" You have to know that even if you can get a diploma, you still have to stay in the Inspection Division. A diploma can get you up to two levels! Becoming a first level inspector is a certainty, and you have more prospects than you are now!"

Li Hao smiled, "teacher, let's talk about it later. I will go into the house and see if there are any clues. When I find out the case of Zhang Yuan, I have caught the murderer. I don’t need a teacher. Said, I will also find a way to return to the Ancient Institute."

"Also!"

Yuan Shuo once again exhorted: "If you have anything to contact me at any time, there is no trouble that can't be solved. The Inspection Division and Ancient Institute can’t solve it. Your teacher still has several points of face. When it’s necessary, you brat as long as you fight for me in the future. As soon as this words came out, Li Hao was suddenly shaken and speechlessly moved.

He knows what Master Old Yuan means.

When it is really needed, his so-called expert is probably Night Watchman.

Before, Li Hao had never said much to the teacher.

He is worried about expanding the trouble and affecting the teacher.

However, with the wisdom of the teacher, when I heard Li Hao say that Zhang Yuan's self-immolation may not be an accident, I am afraid I will immediately think that it may be the interference of superpower factors.

Only then did I say something about looking for an expert.

However, even if Old Yuan's status is not low, Night Watchman does not just ask for it. Li Hao's business is not an official business, but a private business, which may require a high price.

"Got it, thank you teacher!"

Li Hao hung up the communication, tore the seal to pieces, and opened the door to the old house that had been in the dust for a year.

……

When Li Hao took Black Panther into the ancient house.

Outside the quiet street, there is no sound for a long time.

In the dark, a pair of eyes with a little blue rays of light, faintly discernible.

Under the night, a black silhouette seems to be a part of the night, from top to bottom, it is black, except that the pair of faintly blue eyes is a bit piercing, and the face is like a ghost The mask concealed his appearance, ignoring men and women.

"Li Hao, a classmate of Zhang Yuan, a buddy, Silver City Ancient Institute Level 2 student, Zhang Yuan dropped out of school last year to join the Inspection Division, and has been tracking the Zhang Yuan self-immolation incident. To the Inspection Division Confidential today Bureau Chief Wang Jie reported that the Six Sects self-immolation case was connected in series, and he wanted to handle the case together."

Information about Li Hao flashed in the shadows’ minds instantly.

Li Hao dropped out of school last year and joined the Inspection Division. In fact, he has already entered the eyeliner.

What's more, it seems more than that. Li Hao may still be a key figure, but this matter is not under the jurisdiction of Sombra. I don’t know for the time being. It’s just someone told, Li Hao, don’t move lightly, stay useful .

Hey Shadow thought in his heart, really can't move lightly.

Is Li Hao talking to his teacher Yuan Shuo just now?

Yuan Shuo, the top veteran of the Silver City Ancient Institute, the head of the exploration department of ancient civilization, has a collaboration with Night Watchman, and is one of the few big-time figures in Silver City who can directly talk to Night Watchman.

"Needless to say, Li Hao can't move..."

The black shadow quietly approached the Zhang Family ancient house. He wanted to know, why did Li Hao go in?

Clues?

Zhang Yuan self-immolation, died at Ancient Institute, what clues can there be at home?

Or for looking for something?

As for what to look for, Sombra doesn't know, but his task is to keep an eye on everyone who enters or even approaches the old Zhang Family house.

……

"wu wu!"

The faint chirping sound came from Black Panther's throat, it bit Li Hao's trousers, a little anxious .

It seems to be telling something.

Li Hao remained silent, but he was wary in his heart.

Is anyone approaching?

Isn't the conversation between myself and the teacher enough to dispel some people's thoughts?

I didn't say much, touched Black Panther's head lightly, and soothed for a while, then Li Hao looked towards the ruined Zhang Family old house.

This is a small small courtyard.

up ahead, is the main house.

On both sides, one is Zhang Yuan’s second bedroom, and the other is the kitchen. Li Hao is very familiar with this place. He often came when he was a child, even when he grew up. Before Li Hao’s parents passed away, the home was not big and not suitable When playing, Li Hao will come over often.

This time, Li Hao’s main goal is the Stone Blade of the Zhang Family.

He glanced at this ancient house. It seems that no one has entered, but someone must have been there. Not to mention other things, the placement of some things looks nothing unusual, but for Li Hao, It is clearly known, and all have been passive.

Zhang Yuan's family, apart from Zhang Yuan, Li Hao is probably the most familiar.

In the courtyard, even the old tree has been passive. It may have been dug up by the roots and then replanted back later.

"If Stone Blade is still in the Zhang Family, it must not be in the main house or second bedroom, 100%!"

Li Hao didn't come too often, so naturally he knew the situation, if he was here He had seen two places a long time ago, and he won't forget. He often went through the cabinets in Zhang Family. At that time, he regarded this as his own home and never saw it outside.

"The last time I saw Stone Blade was when Uncle Zhang hit Little Yuan. I remember that Uncle Zhang dropped it on the ground at will, but I don’t know if I picked it up later."

Li Hao thinks back to the past, he vaguely remembers that Zhang Yuan didn't seem to know from which Stone Blade he came out.

Zhang Yuan’s father, I’m afraid I don’t remember where I lost it before, but he was turned over by the child, and he took the opportunity to beat Zhang Yuan. As for any ancestral objects, I’m afraid Zhang’s father didn’t have any Seriously.

A broken stone!

What ancestral object?

Even if it is, it's not worth the money. Why do you want that stuff? If Zhang Yuan doesn't find it out, maybe Zhang's father will not remember that there is a stone inheritance at home.

Along the direction that is not clear in memory, Li Hao slowly walked towards the corner of the yard.

There are some stones stacked there, originally used to repair the wall.

Li Hao observed it quickly, but did not remember the stone.

He remembered that the stone was similar to a knife.

"Someone is staring at me secretly, it's not easy to find it with a big fanfare."

I was thinking, Black Panther, who hadn't moved, suddenly hissed in a low voice.

"wu wu!"

Not the sound of protecting food, but with some fear, Black Panther whimpered.

At this time, Li Hao suddenly had a tingling scalp!

He followed Black Panther's line of sight and looked towards the main house, his heart pulsed. At this moment, his heart beats more violently.

The door of the main house was originally closed and there was nothing.

But at this time, the door seemed to have opened a gap, and in that gap, you could vaguely see a touch of red.

"Blood shadow?"

Li Hao's heart beats violently, is the blood shadow coming out?

He has seen it vaguely before, but according to his inference, the blood shadow should be dispatched on a rainy night. Why does it appear now, and it is in the Zhang Family!

"Could it be that...this blood shadow has been staying in Zhang Family, looking for Stone Blade, and didn't leave?"

A cold sweat leaked from Li Hao's head invisibly.

We met too early!

Li Hao is not fully prepared yet, and he encounters the blood shadow here. Once the opponent shoots himself and burns himself, then Li Hao has almost no room for resistance.

"Why are you here?"

"Damn, it was too early, I didn't even see Night Watchman..."

Li Hao's body was slightly stiff. At this moment, his body was shaking slightly invisibly, and he even wanted to turn around and escape.

But outside, someone may be staring at him.

Yes, the blood shadow is invisible to ordinary people.

I can’t escape!

Otherwise, even if you escape, something will be revealed, such as the fact that you can see the blood shadow, which is also a huge trouble.

Since I can't see it, then I have no reason to be afraid.

Countless thoughts flashed by, next moment, Li Hao yelled: "What's your name? Be quiet!"

He yelled Black Panther, Li Hao looked towards the main house, shouted: "There is someone inside? I'm an inspection by the Inspection Division, who is inside?"

Li Hao held up the Spiral mk 3, pointed it at the main house, and yelled again: "Is there anyone? Come out!"

He clearly saw the corner of the blood shadow, but he forcibly resisted not looking at the corner of red. Instead, he kept staring at the door and berated in the direction of the door.

Li Hao approached the main house door step by step.

Suddenly, with a stride, a kick, and a bang, the door of the main house was directly kicked open by Li Hao.

The loud bang also attracted the attention of a few nearby families.

Vaguely, there was a whirring sound.

Li Hao didn't care about this, kicked the door open, looked towards the dark main house again, shouted: "Is there anyone? I am inspecting by the Inspection Division. I won't come out anymore, I shot !"

At this moment, Li Hao stared at the front, but sweat seeped through his forehead, and his arms trembled slightly.

At his feet, Black Panther was already motionless on his stomach and was frightened.

No one!

In the aftermath of Li Hao, in the eyes of Black Panther's dog, at this moment, a red blood shadow is actually standing on the left side of Li Hao, and the blood shadow is even close to Li Hao’s cheeks. .

However, Li Hao didn't seem to see it and didn't respond at all.

His sight has been on the main house.

"Nobody?"

Li Hao's voice was trembling, foul-mouthed, cursing in a low voice: "Damn! Fortunately, there are no other colleagues here, otherwise they will all be laughed to death. I was shocked by the night, I thought the murderer was hiding here!"

He let out a long sigh, Li Hao didn't seem to see the blood shadow.

I wiped the sweat from my forehead, looked down towards Black Panther, and slapped my hand: "Silly dog, it's okay, what are you screaming, it's scary!"

Bang!

Black Panther was beaten, some innocent, some fearful.

Didn't you see it?

This dog has seen it!

It dare not lift its head now.

Because of the blood shadow, it floats on its head.

And Li Hao seemed to know nothing. He just slapped Black Panther, and even the blood shadow passed through his arm, but there was no feeling at all, only a trace of invisible cold penetrated his arm.

But he didn't feel the blocking feeling of penetrating anything.

"Invisible existence!"

Li Hao is actually brave Heaven and Earth to test the blood shadow, he wants to see if it is really invisible and intangible, Beating Black Panther is just to touch the blood shadow logically.

The result...I really can't get it!

"Damn it, the trouble is big, it means that the firearms are useless at all!"

Li Hao was panicked in his heart, but relying on his strong concentration, he didn't let himself show anything. Strange.

In the eyes of outsiders, he should not see blood shadows.

So just this time, there was no problem.

Li Hao cursed Black Panther, cursed in a low voice: "Damn silly dog, call me to chop you up again! It made me kick Little Yuan's house, so I was so scared that I wanted to fight Give it to the teacher, let him find people from the Inspection Division and Ancient Institute!"

Li Hao seemed to be upset and kicked again!

This time, it still penetrated the blood shadow without touching it.

Li Hao's courage is beyond words.

The blood shadow did not meet him before he started, but seemed to have been observing something. In that case, he had to pretend to be invisible at this moment, what to do.

Looking at the dark old house again, Li Hao sighed: "It’s very late at night, it’s pretty oozing, no way, or I’d better send a message to the teacher...Inspection Division guy It feels unreliable. It doesn’t work at all. They closed the case of Little Yuan. They didn’t find any abnormality... It really doesn’t work. Just let the teacher find those black clothed persons to come forward."

black clothed Person, also known as Night Watchman, Li Hao has seen it once from afar, of course, without any contact.

Talking to myself at the moment, just to intimidate.

If the blood shadow is conscious, then it should understand who its black clothed person is talking about, Night Watchman!

Li Hao also wants to test if Night Watchman and this blood shadow are in the same group.

In this critical moment, Li Hao calmed down instead.

Not only did he not escape, he was still trying to find something.

Fleeing is the most stupid choice. Once he escapes, he can see the blood shadow and is immediately exposed, and he will die if he doesn't die.

According to Li Hao's analysis, even if he was killed by the blood shadow, it should have been rainy night, not now. There must be some reasons for this. In that case, it's good to have a blog!

Li Hao was still talking to himself, as if hesitated: "Those black clothed persons also look terrifying. The teacher is looking for it, and I don’t know if I can find it... Regardless, Inspection Division a little bit. There are no clues, maybe they can only rely on them. I am timid and have little ability. I can't do anything. I was scared to death when I came to see it at night. I'm afraid I can't continue the investigation."

Li Hao looked a little frustrated, took out the communicator, gritted his teeth: "I can only ask the teacher for help!"

next moment, Li Hao began to dial Yuan Shuo's number.

At this moment, Li Hao's heart shook slightly, and the blood shadow around him suddenly began to vibrate. Outside the courtyard wall, a faint red thread spread and connected to the blood shadow.

The blood shadow seems to have received some instructions, next moment, the blood shadow quickly drifted away and disappeared in the yard.

More than that, after a while, Black Panther got up and shook his tail, as if he became active.

The dog looked at Li Hao with some ease.

"woof woof!"

It seems to be saying, "It's okay, people are gone, and the ghost shadow is gone."

Li Hao's face is a bit solemn.

The blood shadow and the people outside the yard seem to be in the same group. This is not important. He has long guessed that the blood shadow does not exist alone, but is organized.

The point is that people outside the yard can see the blood shadow, and even contact and control the blood shadow to let the blood shadow leave.

Li Hao said to find his own teacher and Night Watchman. Maybe people outside were worried, so he chose to leave.

The intimidation is working!

But Li Hao is not happy at all, the red thread spreading is somewhat like the starlight he saw when he drank water before, that is, mysterious power.

"The person outside is a superpower mysterious person!"

"The other party and the blood shadow are cooperating or simply controlling the relationship. Is the other person letting the blood shadow test himself?"

"I can't kill the blood shadow with a gun...then...what if there is a person outside? Surprisingly, I killed that person, what will the blood shadow look like?"

At this moment, Li Hao suddenly felt that he had grasped something crucial.

The blood shadow is terrifying, but as long as it is a human... even a superpower user, as long as it is a human, it is impossible.

"Blood shadow...mysterious person..."

Li Hao groaned in his heart, and more than that, the moment he touched the blood shadow, the jade sword that had been silent, seemed to be somewhat begin to stir, Li Hao is guessing, could it be said that Starry Sky Sword can hurt the blood shadow?

"This time, even if I can't find Stone Blade, I didn't come in vain!"

Li Hao suddenly became a little excited, maybe, I can deal with these guys, provided that these The guy doesn't care about himself, otherwise, just the blood shadow can easily kill himself.

"Unexpectedly, shoot people outside with a gun. If Starry Sky Sword can cause damage to the blood shadow... If you plan properly, maybe you can kill them together!"

Li Hao's eyes Sharp and bright instantly!

fear only comes from the unknown!

When the blood shadow and the forces behind gradually revealed clues, he was not afraid, and some only had the impulse for revenge.

"But...Is the blood shadow coming tonight the one I saw before? Is there only one blood shadow? Is it because the one who is stalking secretly here is not a great character?"

Thinking of this, Li Hao became a little worried. How many blood shadows, how many people, and how many mysterious superpower users are there in this blood shadow organization?

I always feel that I am not alone!

"I'm just an ordinary person...it's so difficult!"

Sigh, and while they are gone, they may not dare to come back for a while, worrying about encountering Night Watchman, At this moment, Li Hao has to hurry up and look for it to see if he can find the Stone Blade of Zhang Family.

……

At the same time.

The end of the street.

Under the mask of the ghost, Lan's eyes hesitate, so just leave like this?

But... if that Li Hao could really call Night Watchman, it would be troublesome.

Once exposed, I am afraid it will cause more trouble.

"Forget it, leave first, just in case, that guy may not be able to invite Night Watchman, even if Yuan Shuo can't make it clear, but avoid it first."

The ghost mask man still chose to leave.

Not far behind, the blood shadow of red followed like a shadow, leaving behind quietly.

The ghost mask people don’t care if Li Hao can find anything. They searched for something and searched for countless times. They almost completely overturned the entire Zhang Family and didn’t find it. I’m afraid they are lost. Hao can find it, that's a joke.

I’m sure, Li Hao left the Ancient Institute a year ago. He didn’t see anything, but just couldn’t accept the accidental death of his friend.

If you really see anything, Li Hao might be able to scare your pants tonight.

This time, this has been ruled out. Anyway, there is an explanation.
