When Xia Pingan and An Qing rushed to Ling Shi Building, the entrance to the parking lot of Ling Shi Building had already been cordoned off by the police.
Only when they entered the underground from the entrance did they see the cordon of the Committee of Order inside.
The police were responsible for maintaining order outside to prevent the public from panicking and making wild guesses, while the people from the Committee of Order were inside to deal with tricky situations that the police could not handle.
In addition to the Special Operations Division, the other departments of the Committee of Order also arrived.
On the second floor of Ling Shi Building, in addition to the underground parking lot, there was also an underground cold storage of more than two thousand square meters.
When they arrived at the entrance of the underground cold storage, Xia Pingan saw a pile of completely charred human-shaped traces of ashes at the entrance of the underground cold storage. Xia Pingan could tell at a glance that it was the result of a summoner's Fireball.
The corpse had turned to ashes, and its face was difficult to recognize. However, in the pile of charred ashes on the ground, there were belt buckles, metal badges, and other small metal objects that had melted and deformed from the heat.
After passing through the entrance of the cold storage and entering the cold storage, the temperature suddenly dropped by many degrees.
The cold storage was full of frozen pork hung on iron hooks. There was a strong smell of blood in the cold storage. The dark red light in the cold storage was on. Pieces of pale pork hung there, densely packed, like a forest of corpses. It looked terrifying.
Xia Pingan walked in and heard Li Yunzhou's voice coming from inside.
"… The security guard guarding the cold storage didn't show any abnormalities before. But when Old Cao and I took out the Environmental Inspection Certificate, Old Cao went into the cold storage to check. When I was watching from outside, the security guard lied to me and wanted to trick me into the cold storage.
But I'm so smart, so how could I be fooled? I noticed that something was wrong with the security guard at that time. When he saw that I didn't enter the cold storage, the security guard suddenly started attacking me. I fired two shots at him and found that the bullets didn't work on him. At that time, I realized that the security guard might be a living corpse. Then I cast a Fireball and melted him. At that time, Old Cao also noticed the abnormality in the cold storage and saw this Demon Eye piled up here … "
After entering the cold storage, Xia Pingan saw Mo Yanshao, Li Yunzhou, and Cao Xinghua. The three of them were talking about something with solemn expressions. In the cold storage around the three of them, Xia Pingan saw the familiar sacrificial pattern.
Another Demon Eye!
The Demon Eye made up of more than a dozen broken limbs, torsos, and heads was on the ground of the cold storage, and it was larger than the one in the shopping center.
The limbs of the corpses that formed the Demon Eye were all stiff and covered with a layer of snow-white frost. Judging from the number of heads that formed the eyeball, there were seventeen people who had died here.
There were men and women among the seventeen corpses. They were all below the age of forty and above the age of fifteen. There was a fist-sized hole in the middle of each corpse's forehead. Looking from the hole, the brain tissue in the cranial cavity had disappeared without a trace.
The pale heads covered in a layer of frost were piled up in a pile, and there was a large hole in each of their heads. The cranial cavity was empty.
This scene was enough to scare a timid person to tears.
"… Based on the analysis of the bodies of the victims, their brains were sucked dry before they died. It seems that the members of the Demon Eye who attacked have taken the initiative to fuse with brain-eating insects. Other than the security guard at the door, no other hosts controlled by brain-eating insects have been found in the building for the time being …" Cao Xinghua said to Mo Yanshao.
Brain-eating insects!
Xia Pingan's heart skipped a beat. Brain-eating insects could be said to be the most dangerous type of space invading creatures. Those creatures first parasitized in the human body, then hatched, grew up, and became the human brain. Finally, they completed the control and fusion of the human body and changed the genes of the human body. Finally, they could completely turn a person into a brain-eating monster.
What was more dangerous was that brain-eating insects could also use other people as hosts to control their behavior, turning the controlled hosts into walking corpses without any abnormalities on the outside.
Compared to demon rats, brain-eating insects were more dangerous. Moreover, the ability of brain-eating insects did not produce any supernatural energy fluctuations, so they would not be perceived by the people who lit the lamps.
People who took the initiative to fuse with brain-eating insects would have all the abilities of brain-eating insects, so they were even more terrifying.
"The surveillance video of the building is still running normally. The technical analysis department has already retrieved the surveillance video of the building and the duty records of the security guards of this cold storage. The bodies here must have been transported in batches from outside. I still remember the faces of a few of them. They are the people who were reported missing in Xianghe City during this period …"
While Mo Yanshao was speaking, Xia Pingan and An Qing had already arrived beside the three of them.
An Qing glanced at the Demon's Eye underground. "It seems that there are other members of the Demon's Eye lurking in Xianghe City. The one last time was a phantom monster parasitized …"
"Xia Pingan's Requiem Banner can restrain the living corpses controlled by brain-eating insects!" Mo Yanshao's gaze fell on Xia Pingan. "If we find another living corpse controlled by brain-eating insects, we might need you to take action!"
Xia Pingan nodded …
Two minutes later, Tu Polu and Fang Lingshan also arrived. The two of them did not find anything unusual at the Azure Dragon Reservoir.
The technical analysis department of the Committee of Order quickly sent the results.
In the past month, this cold storage had been guarded by the security guard. The only person who had close contact with the security guard was the boss of this cold storage. The boss of this cold storage was called Gao Qingshan.
The boss of the cold storage drove a truck into the cold storage every one or two days and closed the door to unload and load goods. Except for the boss of the cold storage, no one else had entered this underground cold storage in the past month.
After a comprehensive analysis, the boss of this cold storage was either the host of the brain-eating insects or a member of the Demon's Eye who had fused with the brain-eating insects.
If the boss of the cold storage was the host of the brain-eating insects, then the member of the Demon's Eye who had fused with the brain-eating insects was someone else. However, the host of the brain-eating insects was connected to the main body. The distance between the two could not exceed a certain range, which was generally between a few kilometers and dozens of kilometers. Once the host exceeded a certain range, it would die.
Judging from the distance, the member of the Demon's Eye who had fused with the brain-eating insects was still in Xianghe City. However, after the security guard's accident, the member of the Demon's Eye must have sensed it. It was unknown whether he had absconded.
There was also a limit to the number of hosts that the brain-eating insects could control. This was determined by the level of the brain-eating insects. The minimum was 1, the maximum was dozens, and the maximum was 81.
If the boss of the cold storage was a member of the Demon's Eye, then he was the main body of the brain-eating insects. Then, the result was not optimistic because the person who had fused with the brain-eating insects had the ability to change his body and appearance like an octopus and a chameleon.
It was possible that in other corners and places of the city, there were brain-eating insects' hosts and Demon's Eye that had not been discovered.
The Committee of Order began to quickly investigate the movements of the boss of the cold storage in recent months, and checked his customers, family, and friends to see if there were any abnormalities.
The arrest warrant was issued immediately.
The police received the arrest warrant. The boss of the cold storage, Gao Qingshan, was the main culprit of the first-degree murder with a gun. He might have accomplices. If he resisted arrest and escaped, he could be killed immediately.
A clear photo of the boss of the cold storage, Gao Qingshan, was also sent to Xia Pingan's work phone.
It was a middle-aged man in his 40s with gloomy eyes, fat eyes, and a slightly bald face.
Gao Qingshan had no children and was alone. He was currently missing. A few years ago, he came to Xianghe City to open a freezing factory and had been keeping a low profile.
After a quick search, the possibility that Gao Qingshan was a member of the Demon's Eye greatly increased.
Mo Yanshao and Xia Pingan both used their remote vision abilities to participate in the search throughout the city, but their remote vision abilities did not find any traces of Gao Qingshan. This meant that either Gao Qingshan had left Xianghe City, or he might have changed his appearance but was still in Xianghe City.
The Committee of Order of Xianghe City was doing its best to hunt down this member of the Demon's Eye hiding in Xianghe City …
If Gao Qingshan was still in Xianghe City, with his familiarity with Xianghe City and his ability to fuse with the man-eating insects, it would definitely not be easy for the Committee of Order to find someone who could change his identity and face at any time in such a large city.
This was also the greatest difficulty for the Committee of Order in facing space invading creatures and the Demon's Eye. In most cases, discovery was equivalent to destruction and killing, but the most difficult thing was the process of discovery.
The members of the Demon's Eye who had fused with the brain-eating insects and the living corpses controlled by the brain-eating insects were like a drop of water disappearing in the ocean of this city, making it difficult to find them. For a short time, the Committee of Order could not confirm whether the member of the Demon's Eye had left Xianghe City or was still hiding somewhere in the city.
When it was time to get off work in the evening, the streets of Xianghe City were still bustling with activity. Most of the ordinary people knew nothing about the dangers around them and the hidden dangerous monsters. They just did what they were supposed to do every day.
…
After a busy afternoon, Xia Pingan, who had finished his first case analysis meeting with the Special Operations Division at the Committee of Order's residence, walked out of the Committee of Order alone, went to the bus stop outside, and waited for the bus to arrive.
Just like the police chasing a murderer, even if the murderer had not been caught, they still had to get off work and rest when it was time to get off work.
Tomorrow was the weekend, and Xia Pingan had not been home for almost two weeks. Tonight, he promised Xia Ning that he would go home and cook for her.
Life was like this!
