Chapter 8 Time Zero

Buzz! Buzz!
The neon-lit commercial street in the city center was still bustling with activity. The red and blue lights of the police cars whizzing by were reflected on the floor-to-ceiling windows of the shops on both sides of the road, but apart from a few curious glances, they did not attract any attention.

But compared to the residential area just across the river, a cordon separated the noisy and curious crowd, and red and blue police lights illuminated the walls of buildings on both sides of the street.

"Hey, Lao Li, what's going on? Why is it so lively?"

"I heard that four blind thugs robbed a wanted criminal from another province and ended up killing him. Oh, the scene was so scary, blood was flowing from the alley to the alley entrance."

"Haha, what's it called in my grandson's words? Oh, yes, it really is like that."

"Don't believe or spread rumors. Please don't worry. We will ensure everyone's safety. Please cooperate with us and retreat outside the cordon!"

The sound of alarm bells, conversations, persuasion, shouting...

All kinds of chaotic and noisy sounds were mixed together.

And in a place where no one was paying attention, the cordon was pulled open, and an ordinary-looking pickup truck with a film on its car and no markings was allowed to pass and drove into the blockade area under the saluting gaze of the leading police officer.

Squeak! Snap...

The pickup truck stopped at the entrance of the dim alley. When the door opened, the leather boots landed on the ground, splashing a small amount of mud.

A man in a black windbreaker got out of the car, but his broad face was expressionless and his steps were steady as if he had taken root. It was obvious that he had received training in military posture and goose-stepping and had made it a habit.

However, the moment he opened the car door, he smelled the smell of blood in the air, which was still clearly audible even after a night.

"..."

The man subconsciously placed his hand on the knife handle hidden at his waist, but he quickly realized that there was no need to be so vigilant here, so he let go and walked into the alley.

The noise outside the alley was abruptly cut off, and only the sound of wind blowing from the air conditioner could be heard. Raindrops splashed in the puddles, and the rippling water surface reflected the scene inside the alley.

"Brother." The chestnut-haired girl, dressed in casual clothes, was waiting at the alley entrance. She leaned against the wall, biting a lollipop and complaining incoherently, "Why are you taking so long?"

Wan Tao glanced at his "unruly" sister, and finally couldn't help but raised his hand to hold her hair and said in a deep voice: "You didn't go home all night, and you went out on your motorcycle again, right?"

"Hate it! Don't touch my hair." Wan Boqian shook her head in dissatisfaction, biting the thin stick of the lollipop in her mouth and complained, "I've graduated and will be going abroad soon. Of course I have time to play."

"Oh, the old man reserved a position for you in the army, but you refused it and insisted on going abroad. Don't I know what you are thinking, you little bitch?"

Wan Tao rubbed her head vigorously and sneered, "You're so wild in China. When you go to Kassel College and no one cares about you, won't you go crazy?"

"I just don't want to be like you guys. I'm in my twenties but I'm so serious. I look like a man in his forties."

Wan Boqian slapped his hand away and muttered softly, "I don't want to see the dead faces of those control freak old guys every day."

Hearing this, Wan Tao's face changed and he gritted his teeth and said, "You damned girl, you dare to say anything? Wait until I get home and see if the old man doesn't beat you to death!"

"Ahhh, I can't hear you." Wan Boqian covered her head and shook her head. She tiptoed to the side to make room and pursed her lips, saying, "Even if I get beaten, you won't be able to see it. I guess you'll be busy next."

Wan Tao looked past her into the alley. There were already quite a few people walking in the alley, but no one made any sound.

Although the appearance of these people made the already narrow alley even more crowded, the only sounds that could be heard at the scene were the rustling of footsteps rubbing against clothes, the click of camera shutters, and the buzzing of ultraviolet lamps.

After seeing the scene in the alley clearly, Wan Tao couldn't help but frown.

Where his sight was fixed, four bodies lay in a pool of blood.

The blood flowed like thick magma, the sticky red color slowly spreading and crawling into the distance, as if a bucket of red paint had been poured on it, staining the ground red under the morning mist. The originally gray ground was eroded by the blood, as if it were decorated with dark red patterns.

"To be honest, I was on vacation. I was thinking of calling 110 to collect the bodies and clean up the mess. After all, they were just four thugs who had just been released from prison. Dead or alive."

Wan Boqian watched his brother walk towards the corpses. His youthful and calm voice was filled with indifference as he sighed, "But who made me happen to be nearby and hear the noise?"

Click... click...

As I walked, the road beneath my feet felt a bit sticky, which was the uncoagulated blood that had flowed from the corpse.

Wan Tao didn't say anything, he just squatted down and looked at the wounds of the four bodies, then raised his head and looked around, imagining the process of the four people being killed in his mind.

The body was very clean, with only one wound, but the wound was not deep. It must have been killed in one blow. The attack was clean and neat, leaving no chance.

The pierced head was even more clearly visible, with a glaring red gurgling around the wound. The heart had almost pumped out all the blood. It was obvious that after killing the victim with one blow, the attacker did not forget to finish him off.

Even after being exposed to the air for several hours, the remaining violence still lingered.

Just by breathing the air here, you can smell the disgusting fishy odor. Looking at the wounds on the four corpses, you can vaguely see the cold and fierceness of the blades.

However, there is still a problem...

"Xiao Qian."

Wan Tao glanced at the corpse of the "girl" in the distance, then looked down at the three corpses dozens of meters away. He frowned and said, "Did your Word Spirit sense it at that time..."

"Word Spirit" is the ability that dragons and human hybrids with dragon blood can use to change reality beyond the scope of science.

The essence is that by chanting dragon words and dragon language, the rules and elements within the realm will be redefined by the power from the dragon bloodline, thus generating different supernatural powers.

There are at least 121 kinds of word spirits discovered so far, arranged in a form similar to the periodic table of elements.

Wan Boqian's spiritual words are called "Bloodline Knot", sequence 02, and their function is to enhance one's sensitivity to bloodline perception and to search for people with dragon bloodline in a vast space.

Therefore, if the perpetrator has bloodline, Wan Boqian's words will definitely be able to sense it.

"Although I did use the Word Spirit immediately, unfortunately, I didn't sense the dragon bloodline."

Wan Boqian spread his hands, sucking on a lollipop, and said, "As for why I didn't sense it, but still called you over, you should have figured it out, brother, right?"

"..."

Hearing her say that she didn't sense the dragon bloodline, Wan Tao smiled stiffly and said, "This is truly the result I least want to see."

"Yes," Wan Boqian whispered, "There were clearly only traces of five people at the scene, but the three bodies and the other one were dozens of meters apart, and there were no signs of resistance. This can only mean one thing..."

Click! !

As she spoke, she bit down hard with her teeth, and the lollipop in her mouth instantly cracked with a crisp sound, followed by three words that chilled her heart.

"Time zero."

Wan Boqian turned and looked at Wan Tao. His expression was no longer cynical. He said seriously, "Brother, a troublesome guy has sneaked into the area you are responsible for."
