Nightmare Light

Chapter 287 The Brain and the Murderer

Lin Wang rushed out of the monitoring room.

Running through the winding passageway in front of him would take a lot of time, so he simply jumped up, smashed into the roof in front of him, made a hole in it, and jumped out.

In the square in front of Lushan Villa, some Lushan residents and security guards heard a loud bang.

They looked up and saw a tall figure smash a large hole in the roof of the villa and jump out.

The figure was tall and agile, with messy hair flying wildly in the air, carrying countless fragments of bricks and tiles. He landed on the ground with a thud in a very cool pose, crushing the bricks and tiles beneath his feet.

Then, a stone fell on his head.

Lin Wang: “…”

He didn't have time to dwell on these things, took a deep breath, and rushed into the mountains.

Previously, he had hidden a ball of white flame on the mountain for each Deer Mountain person—when these Deer Mountain people were attacked, the white flame would freeze all sources of attack into ice blocks—and find the mastermind behind it all by following the mental energy link.

It features a very sinister, insidious, and villainous character.

At this moment, in Lin Wang's mental space, a ball of white flame had already followed the mosquito and moved to a rapidly moving entity in the forest.

That must be the real person.

Lin Wang ran towards the exact direction, the cool air from the forest hitting his face and invigorating him.

Lin Wang discovered that the person in question was currently running wildly through the mountains and forests.

This guy... no wonder he's such a wicked killer capable of pulling off something this big, his vigilance is so strong.

Theoretically, when Lin Wang's white flames adhered to the murderer, the latter should not have been able to sense it.

But now, he's not only running, he's running incredibly fast—he's clearly running away.

Could it be that it realized it had lost contact with the mosquito, so it became extremely vigilant and ran away immediately?

Lin Wang guessed in his heart that this was possible, if the suspect was vigilant enough.

But then he noticed something strange—in his mind, the dot of light representing the suspect seemed off.

Anyone who frequently flees for their life knows that when escaping, you should first run quickly for a while to increase the distance between yourself and your pursuers, then turn left and right a few times to confuse them, and then make your escape.

But now, the escapee's escape method is very strange. His running route is very chaotic, and his speed is sometimes fast and sometimes slow. There is a part where he spins in circles, as if a crazy gorilla is chasing him.

What's going on? What happened?
A surge of curiosity welled up in Lin Wang's heart, and he quickened his pace, running towards the light.

We're getting closer and closer to the light.

Judging from the light spots in my consciousness, as long as I cross this mountain ridge, I will be able to see the murderer—the other party is in a strange state, seemingly stopped, but still making small movements.

The radius of movement is limited to within half a meter.

Curious, Lin Wang quickened his pace and scrambled up the mountain ridge in a few strides.

Just then, he suddenly felt something and abruptly turned his head to look at the sky to one side.

"Yo~ha!"

A cheerful voice, full of energy and pride, came rapidly from afar and quickly approached Lin Wang.

In mid-air, a tall, tanned girl with a bright smile and radiant eyes in the mist, holding a paraglider, rapidly approached him.

"Lin Wang! I'm here to fight for you!"

Lin Wang was taken aback: "Where did you get a paraglider?"

She shouted, "I..."

Then it flew past Lin Wang, followed by a series of chaotic crashes. Lin Wang quickly ran towards the "crash site".

After crossing the mountain ridge, he saw the impetuous female sheriff at the foot of the hillside.

At this moment, she was hanging on the tree in an extremely miserable state, and not far in front of her, the paraglider was twisted and deformed, completely destroyed—Lin Wang saw the emblem of the Deer Mountain people on the paraglider's wings, a gray stag.

Clearly, Tian Taozi obtained the umbrella from Lushan, but Lin Wang had no interest in knowing how she got it.

Lin Wang ran towards Tian Taozi, who was hanging from a tree, looking miserable, her clothes tattered, and even her face was scratched with bloody marks.

But when Lin Wang approached her, she showed no sign of being in a hurry to get down. On the contrary, her face was full of shock and urgency as she pointed to the distance and exclaimed, "Lin Wang! Look over there!"

Lin Wang was taken aback, then turned his head.

He saw, in the direction Tian Taozi was pointing, not far ahead, a man in a black and red robe—Lin Wang guessed he was the suspect in the Lushan blood loss case—being beaten.

The perpetrators who beat him are a bit hard to understand...

Because the perpetrator has a huge "brain".

It was a huge, grayish-red brain, about the size of a medium-sized watermelon, with many blood vessels hanging in the air around it, waving like tentacles.

At this moment, the enormous brain was suspended in the air, using its muscular tentacles as weapons to frantically lash out at the black-and-red-robed man lying on the ground.

Each lash produced a piercing crack and left a striking scar on the black and red robe.

Meanwhile, the man who had fallen to the ground would writhe in pain—this was the reason why Lin Wang noticed the strange back-and-forth movement of the light spot.

The moment Lin Wang saw the brain, he immediately guessed that it was most likely the brain of the deceased in the library.

But... how did it get here?
And his voice is so strong.

Judging from its appearance, it not only isn't with the suspect, but it even seems to have a strong grudge against him...

The long-prepared arrest plan was suddenly implemented in a way that no one expected, and...

Lin Wang suddenly felt that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward.

He coughed and took a step forward: "Um, can you hear me?"

The man paused for a moment, then slapped the man on the ground hard before turning around and looking at Lin Wang.

In fact, Lin Wang didn't know which side was the front; he just felt that it seemed to have turned around and was looking at him.

The brain uses the folds of its epidermis as vocal organs to speak to Lin Wang.

Its first words surprised Lin Wang: "We meet again, Northerners. And you... young female sheriff."

Its tone was somewhat puzzled: "Why do you stay in the tree? Is it some kind of strange quirk?"

Tian Taozi was stunned for a moment, then frantically thrashed her limbs in the air: "Wow! Lin Wang! This giant pig brain can talk!"

Lin Wang ignored the sheriff's girl's strange units of measurement; he had already gleaned something else from the brain's words—his expression was extremely serious as he stared intently at the brain and took a step forward: "You've seen me before? No...you've seen both of us before?"

"Oh, now that I look like this, no wonder you two don't recognize me." The brain said, then suddenly turned to look at the fallen man in the black and red robe. "Wait a minute... we can't let this man hear our conversation."

It floated a short distance away, picked up a rock the size of a child's head with its tentacles, and smashed it onto the head of the man in the black and red robe: "Hypnosis!"

A large bump instantly swelled up on the latter's head. He fell to the ground without uttering a sound and passed out.

Lin Wang: “…”

Brain then turned its head again, floated up and down at Lin Wang and Tian Taozi to greet them, and said, "It's nice to see you again... We met once before—in the Federal Library, I even smiled at you two."
