Chapter One: The Body Throwing Case

    The winter of 2011, the industrial zone in the northern suburbs of the city of Harbin.

    Outside the black and yellow cordon, onlookers and a handful of journalists were padding around looking on.

    Those curious eyes were filled with the ruins of a collapsed factory and flakes of snow, with the occasional flash of a couple of black rushed crew members, wondering what they were up to.

    Don't be nervous, it's just an old factory building in disrepair naturally collapsing, there's nothing to see, everyone go back, the weather is cool be careful to catch a cold!

    On the other side of the cordon, the young man in the same rushed jacket stopped the crowd of onlookers and waved the group to disperse.

    Those people behind the crowd couldn't eat the melon, so they naturally left, looking at their disappointed expressions, as if they were only worried about the world.

    Don't push in the back, hey hey hey, you're stepping on my heel.

    Sorry sorry sorry, someone pushed me in the back.

    Just as the disorganized crowd was about to subside, someone suddenly yelled again.

    The crowd looked back, only to see a bloated young man, carrying a folding stool on his left shoulder, a thermos bucket in his right hand, and a huge duffel bag behind him, is full of smiles and is squeezing towards the police cordon.

    The uniformed little man hurriedly called out to him, fearing that the man would crowd out the pandemonium.

    It was a good thing he apologized as he squeezed, and in a few moments he came alongside the cordon, so that the people who were touched behind him couldn't stop them if they wanted to.

    Dude, excuse me for ruffling a few feathers, I'm going to drop something off inside.

    Hearing the young man speak so directly, as if he hadn't thought about his refusal, the uniformed boy was upset.

    What do you do? Who told you to deliver?

    Not waiting for the young man to answer, behind the uniformed little brother over the ruins, came a middle-aged man, without saying a word, on the upper hand ruffled the cordon.

    The young man hurriedly bent over and drilled through, then pointed his chin at the uniformed youngster and asked the middle-aged man, New here?

    What do you care. If you don't go over there again you can go back where you came from!

    Hey, hey, excuse me.

    The disliked young man wasn't angry, and after a cheap laugh, he carried his things and ran towards the ruins.

    The onlookers had a problem with it, asking why this person could get in, and whether the folding stool and the lunch pail were some kind of secret code? Then we can't just bring a frying spoon and walk around the world unimpeded, can we?

    The middle-aged man laughed, People are professionals, and they also manage to deliver food, you can't let us run errands hungry.

    The uniformed little brother seemed to have sensed something and asked softly, He's Wang Lin? The captain's fiancé?

    The middle-aged man stretched and muttered in reply, Gee, I can get off work early this morning.

    The snow under his feet was stepped on and whimpered, and the cold wind blew his little face red, but Wang Lin, who ran in, didn't feel the cold at all in general, and his eyes turned back and forth to distinguish his target in the shadows in the ruins.

    I don't know why, but Ryoga didn't see that familiar figure for a long time.

    He was so desperate that he simply yelled at the top of his lungs.

    Honey~, let's eat!

    The shout caught the attention of the figures, looking over in dismay, seeing that it was Wang Lin, and then bursting into laughter.

    Captain, brother-in-law's bringing you food, he'll be in a hurry if you don't get out.

    Sister Liu, if you don't eat it you'll be wasting your brother-in-law's heart.

    That's true, three meals a day without fail, my daughter-in-law doesn't even have this skill.

    ......

    In the ruins, only a third of the crumbling shadow left behind the back wall poked out a small head with a clear brow, but unfortunately, there was quite a disgruntled look in his eyes that detracted from the beauty.

    What are you shouting blindly for, are you afraid people won't know you're a boilermaker?

    Willow Leaf took off her mask and gloves, a black punching bag is especially cool, just can't show much of her body.

    When Wang Lin saw her come out, he hurriedly opened the folding stool, found a flat place to set up, and handed over the thermos bucket, with two eyes full of little stars.

    I told you not to come, stay home in the cold!

    Saying so, but seeing the fragrant crispy chicken legs, spicy dried beans, ham and celery, as well as the steaming white rice, Liu Ye still couldn't help but gulp a mouthful of water, and rushed at Wang Lin ''ummmm well'', and gave a flying kiss.

    Seeing his sweetheart smile, Wang Lin was content, and just as he wanted to take off his backpack, his afterglow swept over the red ears hidden in the other party's hair.

    Why don't you wear a hat!

    Reaching down, she removed her own bear paw earmuffs and carefully put them on the other woman, pulling out a few strands of hair that had been pressed into place and counting on her lips that she didn't know which end was light and which was heavy.

    Okay, okay, you can hurry up and go rest in the car.

    It was more than a little uncomfortable for Willow to be stared at by her teammates from afar.

    Too scared to drive in the snow, I legged it over.

    Wang Lin tightened his sweetheart's collar again and told her to eat slowly without rushing, while he took off his backpack and walked towards those team members.

    Looking at the back of that hair in the hidden snow, Liu Ye's heart warmed up, and the chili peppers in his mouth were all permeated with the sweetness of the aftertaste at this time.

    Handing the bag out casually, Wang Lin's eyes were immediately serious.

    Hot, one for each. That who... Liu Yi you give me the situation over here.

    Thank you brother-in-law!

    Liu Yi said thank you and transferred the bag to someone else for them to share the boxed lunch, then ran to bring a record book and introduced this side of the situation without slowing down.

    It turned out that this ruin had been an empty factory building complete with front and back ten hours earlier, when it hadn't snowed.

    But just nine hours ago, goose feather snowflakes suddenly fell on this side of the North City, covering the industrial area with a thick blanket of snow in the blink of an eye.

    Around that time, the abandoned factory at the end of the industrial area suddenly collapsed, and the sound affected several neighboring factories, and many shift workers living in dormitories came out to look.

    But at that time in the early morning, the street lamps could not illuminate the inside of the waste factory, and the workers who came out to look at it could only use the street lamps to see the vicinity of the main gate of the waste factory.

    Sparingly, many people were able to ascertain that the gate of the ruined factory and the street-facing courtyard wall were completely spanned, and the outline of the factory building inside had disappeared into thin air.

    A good Samaritan called the North City Police Department, and after the police arrived and entered the ruins, it was only then that they discovered a woman lying on the surface of the brand new first snow behind the crumbling shadow-backed wall in the ruins.

    After a preliminary examination by the officers at the time, it was determined that the woman was dead, and the coroner was called in to begin the on-site autopsy and forensics, while the initial guess was that it was a homicide and dumping of the body.

    But it didn't occur to me that before the traces of the scene were collected, the forensic side came up with a very strange result first:

    After the on-site autopsy, the deceased body does not have any trauma and disease characteristics, for the time being, we can exclude the possibility of death by external force, death by disease and so on. The deceased did not have any toxic substances and drugs in his abdomen, and death by poisoning from improper drinking can be ruled out for the time being.

    This autopsy result is really strange. Doesn't it mean that the woman just walked here and then suddenly her vitality was cut off and she died?

    But therein lies the problem, who do you think would have a girl come to an industrial zone in the middle of the night in the middle of winter, and in the middle of a ruin that had just collapsed during the snow.

    Just as the lead superintendent was skeptical of the coroner's initial conclusion, the officer collecting traces at the scene reported another unlikely result:

    As verified by the informant's statement and the traces at the scene, there were no footprints of any unrelated persons around the deceased, as well as no traces of the deceased's arrival here.

    This information is simply more suspicious to the ears than the results of the coroner's autopsy. Doesn't this mean that the deceased appeared out of thin air?

    At that time, an environmental energy inspector was also on site with the team.

    This inspector's job is to utilize a high-tech instrument to detect a certain energy index in the site's environment.

    Typically, the high tech in the hands of this tester will not yield any results, in other words, most of the field will not have any energy values of some kind.

    But then something really went wrong!

    The tester, looking at the reddish light on the instrument, immediately reported to the captain that there was a change in the situation and wanted him to escalate the matter and refer it to another department to deal with.

    So, the Alien Energy Department, where Liu Ye and the others are located, received a temporary assignment about the corpse dumping case, the Alien Energy Action Team went to work before dawn, as the captain of the Alien Energy Department's action team, Liu Beauty led a team of men and women to the ruins of the factory in the middle of the snow and wind.

    And now, the body has been examined twice by the Ops guys and sent to the morgue a long time ago.

    The results were no different from the previous forensic examination, and the scene was just as the information had said, there were no footprints of outsiders, there was nothing more than a laying print of the woman's body after she had left it, now protected by the awning behind the crumbling shadow-backed wall!

    That's it. Liu Yi closed the record book and said, Big Sister just guessed that it was done by a psychic, remote dumping of corpses leaves no evidence, woundless killing leaves no traces, but psychic ability will leave a psychic ability residue in a certain space after using it, that is, an unbalanced elemental value appears in the elementally-balanced localized space, that is why it is possible to be detected by the elemental detector to detect the emergence of the psychic ability.

    You don't have to say anything about that, I understand!

    Wang Lin seems to know a lot about the supernormal ability, listening and looking at the human-shaped snow print under the awning, his expression looks puzzled as if he didn't understand a certain point.

    Liu Yi saw that he was silent again and cautiously asked what was on his mind.

    Wang Lin told him that there was something wrong with the seal, it was complete in a somewhat uncharacteristic way, as if someone had designed it.

    Liu Yi, who didn't understand, thought he was talking about the completeness and clarity of the imprints, and subconsciously replied back, So it's an alien who did it ah. Remote dumping, the body falls directly into the snow, naturally leaving such clear imprints.

    Oh? You think so?

    Wang Lin looked up and smiled, hooking his hand at him and signaling to follow.

    He didn't go too far, just came near the untrampled snow, crouched down, picked up a small stone on the spot, got it on the white snow and let go!

    Due to gravity, the small stone quickly fell into the snow, and with a snap, a small pit appeared on the flat surface of the snow, and in the pit was the small stone.

    But the moment it landed, a very noticeable bounce appeared, and the snow pit widened slightly from the jump of the small stone.

Chapter 2, The 'Perfection' Seal

    This process was clearly witnessed by Liu Yi, and in the next second, it was as if a lightning bolt appeared in his head.

    You mean to tell me that that human-sized imprint wasn't directly caused?

    Wang Lin laughed.

    Exactly. Such a hard stone landed in such a low position, all appeared to be slightly bouncing and shaking, that has joints and limbs of the corpse, and how could it cause such a perfect imprint. Even if it's a centimeter from the ground, even if it doesn't bounce, the joints of the limbs have to move a little, and that imprint is still in a flat position, with legs together and hands flat, a living person intentionally can't do it all at once, and it's even harder for a dead body that's at the mercy of others!

    It was true, the inner circumference of the mark was so neat that, except for the traces of removal left on the surface of the snow when one of his own people took it away, the unaffected position was like the inside of a human-sized coffin, and it felt as if the body could not be said to lie there without it.

    The inside of the snow coffin was so flat and crunchy that it was obvious that the body hadn't shaken in any way, unless the deceased was a very small child, who couldn't even be touched by the shaking.

    But the deceased is an adult woman, although Wang Lin did not witness the picture of her existence, but the record book has written ah.

    So the mark was not necessarily pressed directly from the body, or the untrue mark was there when the body was placed there, or someone else enlarged the body mark after the body was placed there to remove any other traces of the body when it was shaken!

    Either way, there is always a problem with the seal itself.

    The simplicity of the truth completely dawned on Liu Yi.

    I see. The alien has the ability to throw a corpse remotely, but without clairvoyance and perfect remote control, there's no way the corpse would have landed flat and still not bounced if it was really remotely thrown!

    Wang Lin reached out and slapped his hand on his shoulder, Remember, a psychic is not a god, something like remotely dumping a corpse is not as appropriate for them as destroying the corpse with their psychic powers. You have to pay attention to all the details when handling a case, especially with a tactic like fetching and delivering from across the sky, a xenomancer needs to have their own level at the fifth rank before they can barely perform it!

    Fifth order? There aren't many fifth-ranked psychics in the entire city of Ha!

    You'd think.

    Wang Lin rolled his eyes and returned to the corpse print to continue squatting, and wondered what he was still looking at after the suspicions had all been solved.

    Liu Yi still wanted to go over and ask for advice, but he was stopped by a jade hand.

    Leave him alone for a while.

    It was Beauty Ryu, the Great Beauty Ryu in the midst of her eyes blooming with strange colors.

    Yes.

    Promising, Liu Yi walked far away and went with the others to eat the boxed lunch that Wang Lin had brought.

    Liu Beauty didn't bother the other party, her small face scarlet for a few seconds, and turned to leave.

    There wasn't really much left to see of that mark, the snow where the body had lain was clean, no blood, no dirt.

    So flat that the female body weighs nothing? It's on purpose. Wang Lin muttered in his heart.

    It seems that his doubt just now is not the point that Liu Yi thought of, but he can not understand, even if the seal was tampered with, that the body itself has weight ah, how can the bottom of the seal in the snow like a flat plate, no high and low undulation it?

    Flat buttocks? No spine from the back of the head down to the waist? No spine from the back of the head down to the waist? Shoulder blade muscles or anything angular?

    Wang Lin thought of a game in which everything was pixelated, and so were the characters, which were extraordinarily flat from the back of their heads to their heels, and not rounded at all.

    However, there is inevitably a reason for the outcome at hand.

    Thinking about it in terms of normal logic, the intention of the thrower to achieve a certain result is definitely to cover up the truth, show off, etc.

    The likelihood of the latter is non-existent, and the lack of any strange, obvious labeling here suggests that the dumpers were not necessarily the real culprits, as well as not wanting to make it known that the deceased was in any way related to them.

    Let's not forget that the information gathered at the scene amounted to almost nothing, and showmanship would only be based on the murderer personally dumping the body after the killing.

    So, there's only one possibility to explain this flawless corpse print if the body thrower is also the real culprit.

    The only explanation for this one comes from Willow's side.

    Wang Lin watched for a long time to no avail, so he got up and raised his head to sway from side to side, moving his cervical vertebrae and lumbar discs.

    Just at this time, he coldly swept to see Liu beauty, the other party sitting on the far side of the folding stool, after eating a loving lunch beauty is there holding a small mirror to apply light pink lip balm, pursing her lips is particularly cute.

    Makeup?

    People were just rubbing a lip balm, and they didn't know how Wang Lin associated it with makeup.

    But immediately afterward, he muttered offhandedly, Under the perfect cover is inevitably the ugly truth. Normal people who make mistakes, as long as they don't involve the law or their hypocritical natures, usually don't care too much!

    It was these words that made Wang Lin look at the human-sized snow print next to his feet again, but he had a different feeling.

    The absence of the outline of the back of the deceased's body indicates that the snow at the bottom had been compacted porcelain, and that the snow prints must have been made in advance before the deceased was allowed to lie in them!

    But it was also snowy, so why not deep in the ruins, but here at the shadow-backed wall, just ten meters or so away from the street?

    Wouldn't a distant black smell better?

    Wang Lin seemed to completely understand and turned his head and yelled, Old Liu, what are the results of your attributes on the environmental alien energy residue detection ah? I want an accurate answer.

    Uh...

    Liu Yi was eating a chicken leg, and when he suddenly shouted, the chicken bone almost got stuck in his throat.

    Cough cough cough, every five minutes since we came over here, we've been rechecking and the results are all fire attributes, but they're gradually decreasing over time, and they're about to return to their normal ambient energy values!

    Liu Ye looked at his expression and knew he had an idea, and came over to ask how the truth was.

    Wang Lin didn't rush to answer and looked up at the sky, his brows locked for a long time before gradually stretching out.

    Yesterday's weather forecast was supposed to be a sunny day!

    What?

    Not knowing where to come up with such a sentence Liu beauty staggered for a moment, and then subconsciously took out her cell phone and glanced at the weather forecast of Ha City.

    It's still true that yesterday's forecast was not even cloudy, and snow is even more unlikely.

    But the sky's the limit, this stuff isn't accurate every second, and what people say is just a prediction, and it's not a good habit to be serious about it.

    How could she know that Wang Lin's words had another deep meaning?

    Moreover, at that moment, he saw Wang Lin suddenly bend down, and with both hands, he began to throw himself in the snow prints.

    The snow seal was destroyed, still in front of Yanagiba, the captain!

    Destroying the scene traces is illegal, even if Captain Liu is his fiancée, then he can not know the law, ah, back to the top of the question, Liu beauty have to be implicated.

    Before Willow Beauty could react to stop it, she saw a speckled, rusty, damp, curved metal handle revealed in the crushed brick pit beneath the snow print.

    Wang Lin obediently threw it around the perimeter, three times, the metal bent handle welded metal cover, then exposed to the cold air.

    You... How did you think of that! Eyes wide, Willow instinctively asked the other woman before her mind fully thawed and she shouted over to the side where the crew was staked out, Get a forklift over here, sharpish!

    Wang Lin added, There's also explosion-proof equipment. In case there's a bomb attached to the bottom, I'm afraid the clues underneath will have to be lost.

    There were two people over there going about their business, and Liu Yi and the rest of the brothers came over to watch.

    Only then did Wang Lin explain to Liu Beauty: Seeing you just put on lipstick it occurred to me that make-up is to look good, but why does the corpse print also need to be camouflaged? There's also its location, the ruins are so big, the backyard but even the streetlights can't shine, but he chose to dump the body here, this is clearly a double cover up and delay for the case officer to discover the truth.

    Willow subconsciously interjected, The location of the body won't be given up right away, and prolonging its existence as long as possible will allow the case officer to get more clues and proof of the scene.

    Wang Lin snapped his fingers, Bingo~, congratulations on your correct answer.

    Willow Leaf told him not to be poor and to elaborate.

    It's actually very simple to put it bluntly.

    The location itself is not the best spot to dump a body, the factory ruins are so big that the deeper areas where the streetlights don't shine are more fragrant.

    In contrast, the shifters had a very easy time getting to the far outskirts of the country at night, and then dropping the body off in the deep woods would be balm.

    But the body thrower still chose this place, so it proves that this location is more important to the body thrower.

    Secondly, the snow prints had been tampered with, and the near-perfect imprints were the result of compaction and calculations that allowed the body to lie in a way that would complement it.

    Because Miss Liu had just said, 'The location of the body will not be immediately abandoned by the police, and maximizing its existence and completeness will allow the case officer to obtain more clues and proof of the scene.'

    So, when the flaws in the location cannot be changed, the time for the truth to emerge has to be prolonged. Otherwise the information about the murderer or the body thrower will be revealed as early as possible.

    Of course, this also requires the weather to cooperate.

    But in Wang Lin's thought, such a timely snowfall could not be the will of God, and the weather forecast and the actual weather were exactly the opposite, so there was something wrong with this snowfall as well.

    Timely Snow's question would require that answer Liu Yi just gave.

    The presence of unmeasured fire elements in the air at this location would indicate that fire aliens have existed here and used their powers.

    However, there were no traces at all at the scene caused by the psychic ability, which meant that the psychic's psychic ability was not used in action, especially when there was snow everywhere, the fire psychic's ability could directly cause the snow to turn into water.

    So, the alien's ability must have been used before the snowfall, and judging from the time, it should have been ten hours ago, so I guess the place hadn't even collapsed then.

    Wang Lin, who was well versed in the five elements of supernormal ability, told the crowd that if the fire system supernormal ability user exerted too much force, the cold temperature in winter would form an obvious conflict with it, and assuming that the supernormal ability would be used in an upward direction, the weather that should have been snowy in the winter months would turn into a lightning and thundering rainstorm.

    But it wasn't raining at the time, which meant that the other party was using very skillful powers, and combined with the 'mistake' in the weather forecast, this localized snowfall must have been the other party's handiwork.

    Hearing this, Liu Yi raised his hand and asked a question, Before an Exalt can use his Exalted Energy, he must get approval from the Exalted Energy Department. According to you, if he did so, wouldn't the surrounding fire elemental directly point to the evidence of the murderer?

    There are regulations in the Alien Energy Department no less, and the detectors will also regularly check the elemental values of the environment in all parts of the city of Harbin, and if they find the appearance of an unrecorded Alien Energy element within, the detectors will turn on the Elemental Residue Collector at the first opportunity, and I assume that this collector is in your hands now.

    That's right, I guess it's pretty much collected now, should be enough to take back for identity analysis.

    Although the words, but Liu Yi's heart is not too sure, from the action of his pulling out a cell phone, eighty percent of the progress of that collector connected to the phone, need to be sure with their own eyes to be sure.

    As a result, Liu Yi was dumbfounded on the spot after reading it, and hurriedly handed it to Captain Liu, This... This is only half of it!

    As if he had expected it, Wang Lin said without surprise, It's temperature!

    Yes, it's the temperature here.

    In the industrial area of the tenth winter, the temperature inside and outside the house was completely two temperatures, even if the fire-type psychic used his psychic ability, the elemental residue in the cold air would accelerate and disappear, at least faster than in the summer.

    Add to that the fact that the powers caused snow to fall at high altitudes, and with a snowfall that lasted so long, the moisture and cold in the air would put roller skates on the acceleration, and the extra amount of fire elemental in the localized space certainly wouldn't be collected enough by the collectors in their regular state of speed.

    So, that's why the Alien dares to use his powers here.

    Because he needed the snow to cover up the truth and stall for time.

    Assuming that he had been present during the above, I'm afraid that the collapse of the factory at that time had nothing to do with the other party.

Chapter 3, Mutations

    Soon the blast gear was in place.

    The engineer post in the ops team was Liu Yi, fully armed, and with Willow Leaf's permission, he made his way over to the metal lid and got into a good position ready to lift that welded bent handle.

    The others each looked for cover and held their breath, but only Wang Lin had a slack expression, snapping back and forth the mud in his fingernails, without the slightest intention of taking it seriously.

    Without even batting an eyelid, Captain Liu stared at Liu Yi's side and shouted to do it, his heartbeat pausing at that very moment.

    Rise~!

    The intercom resounded with the sound of Liu Yi gritting his teeth and fighting to raise his breath, and then there was no movement.

    A few short seconds of dead silence caused several people to lose their patience and ask how it was going.

    Liu Yi ignored them, as if lifting the welding bending handle once again, the intercom once again sounded that kind of lifting sound with all its strength, and this time the sound was a little longer than the last time.

    After a few more brief seconds, the intercom sounded again.

    Just listen to Liu Yi gasping and wondering, Hey~ hey~, how come it can't be lifted?

    Not waiting for Captain Liu to suspect his lack of strength, Wang Lin, who had snapped his fingernails clean, yelled, When you can't lift it, try to push it, or if you can't stomp it twice!

    Uh ....

    Liu Yi fell silent, and then swearing began on his end, accompanied by a thumping, single-footed, stomping motion.

    Boom~!

    Suddenly, a muffled sound drilled through the intercom, but Liu Yi, who the group was staring at, was still standing over there, and the air near him was exceptionally clean, with no smoke at all from the bomb blast.

    At that moment the intercom rang out again, It's open, it's open! This metal cover is flipped down, it was stuck before.

    Wang Lin heard it and muttered in his heart: it seems that it should be when the shadow back wall was smashed down, the small pieces of broken bricks were stuck in the gap, well, I am really still the smartest.

    Captain Liu heard Liu Yi report that everything was normal before he dared to let the others go over to look.

    Before she passed, she didn't forget to grab Wang Lin's neck and reward the other party with a fragrant kiss as a sign that he could retire.

    In fact, not only this time, in the past, when she led the team on a mission, if she met with doubts and tripped over her feet, Wang Lin only helped up to this point.

    In the final analysis, they are action teams, it is not impossible to ask for foreign aid, but if you need help with everything, then this action team is too humiliating.

    Therefore, when this mission could continue, the Wang Lin at the moment could retire, go home and mop the floor or go on the street to buy a bag, in short, it all depended on his mood.

    But this time he didn't hurry to go, instead, he was especially squirming and picking his fingers there, his mouth stammered and couldn't say a whole sentence, completely out of tune with his previous wisdom and steadiness.

    Willow Beauty, sensing the situation, flipped out her wallet and handed it to him, Help yourself.

    Wang Lin's small hands shivered and picked a fifty, which went to pack up the thermos bucket or something, and trotted away.

    Took off the riot helmet of Liu Yi just to see a full eye, slurping sound emotion, Aiya, on this picture, who can think that he is the hall of the supernatural warrior ah! I say captain, brother-in-law with you can be too aggrieved, fifty dollars can be happy like this, I can not stand to see.

    Captain Liu tucked in his wallet and glanced at him with a squint, Don't look if you can't stand it, I'm still afraid that your tastes will change if you look at it too much!

    You're idle again aren't you. Yanaka glared at him, Why don't you hurry up and report the Collector to the Ministry?

    Liu Yi hemmed and hawed, saluted, and trotted off to get busy.

    Wang Lin lives in the middle of the North 2nd Ring Road to the 3rd Ring Road, in the Clearwater District, while the industrial area is in the suburbs outside the 3rd Ring Road.

    Usually, if you walk this far on your legs, it's a half an hour to go all the way in a straight line.

    But now that he's rich, he can't afford to take a taxi, but he can take public transportation.

    Buy a lollipop at the convenience store, get change for the bus, and in just under twenty minutes he was back in his little nest.

    Harbin is known as one of the three major economic cities in the north, and to have a two-room flat in the third ring road is a testament to the strength of this person.

    Although he is a homeowner, Wang Lin doesn't have a serious job.

    He's a home cook, as they say in Ops.

    If we really want to talk about the daily 'work', it seems that the only thing is mopping the floor and scrubbing the dishes, buying food and cooking dinner, and it can also be said that he is basically responsible for all the chores that Beauty Liu doesn't want to do.

    But the home cook doesn't have it so easy, at least not with Wang Lin.

    No, he had just finished his lunch and was wondering what he was going to have for dinner.

    Fish in winter, chaff in summer, and preferably soup before meals!

    Thinking that Beauty Liu was still freezing in the cold wind, Wang Lin took out the scallops from the refrigerator, intending to give Beauty some collagen and add some heat.

    Tying on a pink KT cat apron, I put the scallops in a basin full of water and set them on the warming valve cabinet to defrost, and while I had time, I went back to preparing the onions, ginger, garlic, and other condiments.

    I was busy when there were two soft thuds on the door.

    Who?

    Wang Lin was most annoyed when someone disturbed him during the preparation of his food, even if it was the king of heaven who came, he wouldn't be polite at this time.

    1203!

    It was a male voice, a very serious tone, and it was outrageous that this visitor to the door didn't sign up with a last name and give a code word.

    Wang Lin, who didn't expect to hear the numbers, had a blank expression, then hurriedly put aside the half peeled garlic in his hand, wiped his hands on his apron, and went over to open the door.

    There were two people at the door, a man and a woman.

    The man had a country face, thick eyebrows and a somewhat serious expression.

    The female pill head, a not tall, but the features are exquisite, but also winked at Wang Lin and smiled.

    The key wasn't the look, but the fact that both of these men were wearing black punchbowls.

    What was different from the dress code of Liu Ye and those of them was that these two men had a golden five-pointed star embroidered on the left side of their chests on their punching jackets.

    The man's name was Dao Wenlong, the second-in-command of the Department of Alien Energy, and the girl's name was Lou Ying, Dao Wenlong's personal secretary.

    Hello Chef, we're not interrupting you.

    Lou Ying waved and greeted Wang Lin, that innocent look was really cute.

    Wang Lin rolled his eyes and said, If I say I'm interrupting, can you two walk away?

    No way!

    Then why are you asking me!

    Dao Wenlong stared at Wang Lin's pink apron and said, That... I've got some serious business to find you this time, so it's better to go in and have a chat.

    Come in all you want, but I don't have time for you.

    I know, I know. Lou Ying opened the door first and sidled up next to Wang Lin, It's still early. You go about your business, we'll wait.

    Dao Wenlong followed the smile, also do not wait for Wang Lin permission, trailing Lou Ying into the house, nonchalantly also very familiar seems to sit into the living room sofa, will be in the hand has been holding the file bag on the coffee table.

    Ugh, that was a bad dream yesterday.

    The uninvited guest entered the door, Wang Lin sighed and closed the door behind him, went back and pointed to the teapot, signaling Lou Ying to pour the tea for him, the master, and then went back to the kitchen to continue his work.

    In the face of this kind of hospitality, Dao Wenlong and Lou Ying didn't even pick a reason, as if the two of them were really familiar with the one in the kitchen, and didn't look like they had come to find Wang Lin to talk about business at all.

    Especially holding a cup of tea and sucking the water, really with good friends and so on to dine.

    Outside the living room more two people, Wang Lin can not just full of happiness smile, frown slightly wrinkled, peeling garlic speed also slowed down.

    His eyes were a little defocused, obviously pondering something, and it was only when the lower corners were all ready and he went to the warming valve cabinet in the living room to see if the scallops were thawed or not that the odd atmosphere of no one talking came to an end.

    Dao Wen Long said, The scallops have to be marinated, or they have no flavor, no aroma.

    Wang Lin blanched at him, Use your words? Can't you see there's still big ice stubble here?

    I mean, do you get to rest when you marinate. I've got a good job here, you don't want to do it Shifter Warrior, you'll always be interested in Shifter Warrior.

    The name's kinda cute, tell me about it.

    Outwardly unperturbed, but Wang Lin's ears had perked up, taking ginger, garlic, and pepper to rub the scallop's body, and mulling over Dao Wenlong's next words in his head.

    The other party told him that in recent times, a lot of strange things had happened in the Alien Circle, the exact details of which were unknown, but the results were nothing more than the unaccounted for whereabouts of the implicated Alien, and the appearance of Alien Elemental Residue in a number of areas.

    The number of missing alien power users had reached fifteen, and the areas with residual alien power elements had reached more than twenty, and all of them had occurred in the mountains and forests outside the suburbs.

    The Department of Alien Energy conducted a comprehensive investigation into the matter and found that many wild beasts with greatly changed temperaments and strange vegetation had appeared in the mountains and fields where there were remnants of alien energy elements.

    The survey teams suffered heavy casualties but were fortunate enough to bring back samples of flora and fauna to offer for study.

    Upon study, the Department of Alien Energy discovered that these 'mutated plants and animals' all contained a new element that had not been recorded internally.

    Because the new element appears under a microscope as a black speck with the ability to devour, the insiders tentatively refer to it as the 'Black Element'.

    The presence of this black element affects the nervous system of plants and animals, and the infected person is likely to show many extraordinary manifestations such as bloodthirstiness, crazy growth, and a drastic change in temperament, and no longer has the ability of self-control, unless an external force is forced to stop it and kill it.

    However, there is good news accompanying this discovery, that is, the black element does not spread through the air, unless wounds or direct contact with blood, or plants in contact with blood infected with the black element, there is a half chance of being infected by the mutation.

    The researcher also discovered that the black element was not an invincible existence, and only the blood of an alien with three or more alien elemental attributes was unafraid of the black element's influence, and could even counteract the black spots that were extremely destructive in all aspects.

    Therefore, the Department of Alien Energy held a meeting to study this, and decided to screen all registered aliens, singling out all aliens with three or more lineages, and establishing a special alien energy group for the 'Black Elemental Case'.

    But after the internal information was sifted, the only one of them who possessed the five-system supernatural elemental power caught the eyes of the top management at that time.

    Lou Ying opened the file bag on the table at the right time and arranged the information one by one.

    Former Alien Warrior Wang Lin, with five systems of elemental force, alien power level internal unknown, known to be proficient in a variety of martial arts stances, the doctrine of the five elements of alien power. Possessing sensitive and meticulous insight, you once had a hand in one hundred and fifty cases of alien energy, perfect conclusion of one hundred and forty-nine cases, which can be described as experienced, both civil and military. Currently living in the North City Clearwater District, Building 2, 207, and Action Team Chen Ni is a couple.

    Listening to the excellent information in the eyes of outsiders, Wang Lin was on the verge of rubbing the scallops together, resisting the urge to swear, and going to the kitchen to first seal the scallops with plastic wrap.

    After washing his hands and returning to the living room once again, he asked, not too happily, So you guys came to me to get me to come out with some kind of special alien group?

    Dao Wen Long shook his head, ''With you, there's no need for the Special Alien Energy Group. We also know your situation, so the hat of Alien Man will not be given to you, and you will be given a new identity of Alien Warrior, enjoying all the benefits of the previous identity, while not being limited to your freedom and style of handling cases, all according to your rules."

    Lou Ying also advised, Brother-in-law, this matter is really serious, how powerful is a psychic, even the lowest ranked first order psychic, is not comparable to ordinary people. Recently, there have been a series of missing aberrants, and their ranks are both high and low, so it's obvious that there is someone high up brewing something big. Not to mention this, that strange black elemental alone is a great danger to the safety of Ha City!

    Is this moral kidnapping on your part? Wang Lin's face was immediately covered in dark clouds, and his tone was quite unkind as he said, Or did you guys think that I would compromise just by saying that? All of you have found your way to my house, do you really think that this house of mine is something that anyone can enter?

    I don't know why, but Wang Lin, who didn't have a bit of supernatural breath on his body, gave the other two an extremely strong sense of oppression at this time, and it seemed that an incomparably cold breath filled the entire living room, and white mist appeared vaguely under the noses of those two people.

    A brilliant light flashed in Dao Wen Long's eyes, and a scorching wave of Qi erupted from his body, protecting himself and Lou Ying next to him.

    Daelin calm down!

    Once these words came out, looking at Wang Lin again, his face immediately staggered for a moment, and at the same time, the inexplicable coldness in the living room disappeared in an instant, and the temperature was gradually affected by the heat from Dao Wenlong's body and the underfloor heating.

    Uh... After hesitating for a long time, Wang Lin regained his smiling face and said with a long sigh, Ugh~, you guys better go, I'm not as old as I was back then, I'm getting older, so I just want to be at home with my wife and children to rest in peace.

Chapter 4, After 'Down the Well'

    Wang Lin's attitude was already obvious, but Dao Wenlong wasn't surprised by this answer at all.

    At that moment, the latter hit his arms and took out a photograph and handed it over.

    We wouldn't want to trouble you if we didn't have to. But before you make up your mind to look on the sidelines, I'd like you to look at this picture.

    Seeing his mysterious appearance, Wang Lin picked up the photo driven by curiosity, and although he kept warning himself mentally not to listen to his blind beeping, that curious hand was uncontrollable at this moment.

    There is only one yellowed white and gray wall in the photo, which is supposed to be one of the windowed sides of the house, and it looks like the right side, which is not photographed, is where the window is.

    The orange haze of light cast in from there had a distinct cast line and light difference on the main wall.

    A large piece of the large white on the lower right corner of this wall had fallen off, revealing the red brickwork inside, and looking at the color it looked as if the siding had fallen off due to the humid air, and the humidity problem never seemed to have been solved, with the surface of the red brickwork crisping and whitening.

    But the important point is right in the middle of the photo.

    There was a huge black circle with a five-pointed star of the same color set in it.

    And on each corner of the five-pointed star, there are colored dots, and they are in clockwise order: white, green, yellow, blue, and red!

    The Five Mangles Diagram? Wang Lin recognized it at a glance and then asked the other party, Where did this diagram come from?

    Seeing that he was surprised, Dao Wen Long thought that there was hope in asking him to come out, and hurriedly said, The northern suburb of Chonglou Gully. We have a secret lab over there, and when it was a month after the 'Black Elemental Case', the lab that had been working fine was attacked by a fierce beast, and when our people lost contact with that side and rushed to rescue it, we found out that someone had left this there, and our researchers over there... Only half of them were sent back.

    Is that why you guys came to me? To have me follow the five elements of psychic ability to decipher the secrets in this case?

    Yes, you have the five faculties of psychic abilities and are the most proficient person in our line of work, so I really don't know who to look for besides you.

    Hearing him think so highly of himself, Wang Lin was silent, staring at the photo with more and more gravity, and his posture was particularly stiff feeling, his body was like a stone.

    Seeing that Wang Lin was so serious, Dao Wenlong secretly clenched his fists, and Lou Ying was also nervous, waiting with eyes full of anticipation for the man to boast of his righteousness.

    But no one expected the tension to last only ten seconds or so before it was broken by a very beaten movement.

    Pfft~

    Obviously, Lou Ying's expectations were only half right, Wang Lin did have qi outward, but it wasn't too positive, and it was still very long.

    And in the next second, Wang Lin's expression loosened, the back of his shoulders and neck, and even the state of his entire body, all of a sudden became natural, casually skimming the photo to Dao Wenlong, and turning around to go to the kitchen.

    The years shuttle us to old age ah~, firewood and rice is the home ah~!

    Listening to the country ditty in the kitchen, Dawen Long's eyes reddened with anger.

    Although 'loud does not stink, stink does not sound', but at this juncture you out of the virtual palace, but also can not be owed children.

    Small face slightly red Lou Ying was afraid of Dao Wenlong hands, hastily pressed his arm, make vigorously pass the eyes.

    Dao Wenlong took many deep breaths, which suppressed the anger in his heart and yelled, Is there no more to talk about this?

    Wang Lin said back in the kitchen, There is only a difference between the word Ectoplasmic Man and Ectoplasmic Warrior, but the original meaning is not much different, it is just that the latter is a little more free and casual, but the essence remains the same. As for your photo, what does it have to do with me, is that you do not realize the seriousness of the problem. Of course, in what realm to say what words, at least I still count the circle of half a person, if this matter in the progress of the obstacle, I do not mind helping to analyze.

    So you promise?

    Stop! Wang Lin poked his head out to correct him, I'm talking about helping analyze, not personally committing a crime.

    Why don't you people make sense?

    Dawen Long's expression was livid, and he jerked up from the couch, striding to go to the kitchen to yank him out and rub him on the floor to relieve his anger.

    But just then a bell suddenly rang on him, and thus checked the impulsive thought.

    What's wrong?

    Dao Wenlong's tone is very upset, that wrinkled eyebrows and glares, printed on red paper and sticking it outside the door, I guess it works better than the door god painting.

    But after listening for a few seconds, his expression became serious all of a sudden, while coming quickly at the kitchen door, he said, Something happened to your daughter-in-law and them!

    Dangling~

    The kitchen knife intended to cut persimmons fell to the ground, the tip of the knife is two inches away from Wang Lin's foot, look at the tip of the knife smashed in the floor caused by the traces, thanks to Wang Lin's good luck, otherwise the back of the foot must be more than a few holes.

    Looking at Wang Lin again, he opened his two eyes roundly and his nose was thick, glaring at Dao Wenlong and saying angrily, You can't drag me, so you let my daughter-in-law be the bait to count on me?

    Dao Wen Long was startled, I'll go, am I that kind of person, your old brother? I just picked up the phone here!

    Lou Ying was listening on the sidelines, and at this point flew in and said, Don't be in a hurry, don't start infighting. We have a car, let's go over and take a look first.

    Wang Lin did not hesitate to rush out of the kitchen, but went to the master bedroom to rummage around, and the neat house was in disarray at once, and he did not know what he was looking for.

    Dao Wenlong this side hung up the phone, also did not dare to go to the house, just stood in the bedroom door to explain: I tell you, I this person do things have a bottom line, you just now also all see, the phone is just called, if I do the bureau, there is no need to use such a shallow means, right.

    I'm just saying!

    Wang Lin hit the low compartment of the closet and flipped out a black dagger, pinning it to his back waist in his clothes before running out.

    Be a friend and get me over to the factory as soon as you can.

    These words, accompanied by Wang Lin descending the stairs, were followed closely by the other two, coming beside a commercial vehicle.

    In a matter of ten minutes, the business car swung around and stopped in front of the black and yellow cordon.

    Wang Lin even lazy to yank the car door, directly hit irrigation all the way to the cold wind of the car window scampered out, the uniformed little brother who stopped him at noon scared enough.

    He didn't give a damn about the other party, his figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the ruins of the factory that he hadn't left for long.

    It had been only an hour or so since I had left, no more than two hours at most, and the ruins had changed drastically.

    In front of me, all the snow and bricks and tiles had been cleared away, and the ruins had been turned into a damp open space, with just a few bits of dead grass and cracked concrete all over the place.

    Of course, that hole in the ground under the metal cover was still there, and you couldn't see it unless you stepped up close, and there were a couple of Ops guys around, including Liu Yi, whose left shoulder was wrapped in gauze, a striking blood-red color that stood out.

    When they saw Wang Lin coming, they all greeted him, talking noisier than a flock of birds.

    Shut up!

    Wang Lin drank everyone down with one voice, then pointed at Liu Yi, signaling for him to speak.

    What happened?

    At this time, Dao Wenlong and Lou Ying also rushed over, but as a result, they only asked a question before being prevented from speaking by the hand that Wang Lin raised.

    Liu Yi then had the chance to open his mouth and tell what had happened in just two hours.

    It turned out that only five minutes after Wang Lin left, the forklift and transportation truck arrived here.

    According to Captain Liu's arrangement at that time, the people present in the action team split into two groups.

    One wave, numbering seven, accompanied Liu Ye 'down the well' to continue the investigation of the female corpse case. The other wave of people stayed on the ground, helping to clean up the debris, and underground information transfer.

    Liu Yi was in the squad that went down the well, but he was placed at the end, the details about the unexpected incident are not known, he is only clear that after going down to the 'bottom of the well', he first came in a basement where only tables and stools were left.

    It was damp, and it was possible to determine by the few traces that someone had been present, but details such as the person's identity were not known.

    Also, with the exception of a thickened and sealed security door on the side wall, this so-called basement would have to be frowned upon for someone to use as a vegetable cellar.

    But no sooner had they attempted to open the door and continue deeper than a series of very strange movements rang out.

    Everyone was startled at the time, because the sound was very much like someone struggling to shout from behind a door, but their throat was choking on something, and the sound became incredibly eerie and extremely uncomfortable to listen to.
