"How strange, how did this world change?"
"Or did I never understand the truth of this world?"
"How did I become a Sword Bearer after going out for no reason? I joined a secret organization and even have a captain?"
…
Hei Jie returned home in a daze and fell asleep.
Captain Merry promised to help him solve Shang Han's problem, so he didn't have to worry about the police knocking on his door tomorrow morning.
After all, he was a member of the official agency that dealt with such things.
That secret agency should be an official organization, right? Would he accidentally join some evil organization … Hmm, judging from the other party's behavior, it shouldn't be …
"Right, Captain Merry asked me to gather tomorrow morning. How do I get there? Skip class? "
…
The next day, six in the morning, Heisen Street.
"You're here, very good. We'll wait for the news. Once it arrives, we'll set off to solve that No Return!"
Merry leaned back in the office chair and said with a smile.
"I played truant, Captain. You have to help me find an excuse, or I'll be scolded to death …" Hei Jie carried his backpack and looked around.
"What are you looking for?" Merry asked curiously.
"Teammates," Hei Jie replied matter-of-factly. "Don't you want us to get to know each other?"
"Ahem …" Merry coughed. "Strictly speaking, you're my only subordinate at the moment …"
"In other words … I'm your only subordinate?" Hei Jie's eyes widened.
"The teammates in front of me were all killed in the last strange case …" Merry's voice suddenly became a little low. "Can I tell you that I originally came to this city for a vacation?"
Hei Jie: "…"
…
"Right, look at the files first!"
Merry threw a stack of documents on the table. "Remember these names. You need their names for the curse, right?"
Hei Jie opened the file and saw the strange code name — No Return.
This was a strange code that could move in many places, and could disguise itself as any intersection.
Behind it was a dense pile of information about missing people, mostly from the city, with photos and names.
"Remember their faces and names. When the time comes, use their blood to release the curse …" Merry stretched. At this moment, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
"I'm Merry!"
She grabbed the microphone, and after listening for a while, her expression turned serious. She grabbed the black trench coat on the clothes rack beside her. "It's time to move …"
Hei Jie saw Merry open a jewelry box and take out a ring soaked in water with a pair of tweezers. She wiped it dry and put it on her right index finger.
The ring was black and had a skull on the surface, which didn't match Merry's style at all.
It seemed to be his illusion, but when Merry put on the ring, the temperature in the room immediately dropped a lot, and her expression became a little cold.
"This is my 'sword'! Code name — Blazer! "
Noticing his gaze, Merry explained, "After wearing it, I have the ability to control flames, and I can use it to release curses to resist the invasion of the strange … The price is that my personality will change, and every time I use it, it will consume part of my flesh and blood …"
Gulp!
Hei Jie swallowed his saliva. "Very … very sharp!"
"By the way, what's the side effect of your mysterious item?" As soon as Merry asked this question, she shook her head and said, "Forget it, tell me when you come back alive!"
"Is it too late for me to back out now?" Hei Jie said with a bitter expression.
"Relax. After all, you've escaped from that mysterious item once, so you can be considered experienced … Otherwise, do you think I'd bring a random newbie? To a certain extent, your ability just happens to restrain the No Circuit! It's my insurance and backup plan! "
Merry pulled Hei Jie up, and the two of them got into a black car. The car then slowly drove to the entrance of a street.
"Captain, we're monitoring the entire city and found that this street entrance suddenly appeared. It wasn't recorded in the city hall, and … the people who went in have disappeared. The entrance has been sealed."
At the entrance of the street, a man and a woman in black trench coats bowed and reported.
"They are …" Hei Jie asked subconsciously.
"They're the periphery of our organization. They can also be considered reserve swordbearers. They've gone through various training and are proficient in fighting, driving, psychology, medicine … Of course, I think the most important thing to survive in a mysterious case is luck."
Merry said, "The two of them, the man's name is Chi Yuan, and the woman's name is Le Lan, will go in with us!"
"Why …"
As soon as Hei Jie finished speaking, his heart turned cold.
He remembered that some strange things were extremely terrifying, and one wrong step would lead to death.
At this time, they needed people like lab rats to try and make mistakes!
'They … Why are they willing to do this? Don't they know that they might die if they go in?' Hei Jie was a little puzzled as he looked at the expressionless man and woman who were as hard as granite.
"Let's go!"
Merry checked her equipment one last time, and led Hei Jie, Chi Yuan, and Le Lan into the blockade.
'I'm really out of my mind …'
Hei Jie secretly scolded himself. 'I just escaped yesterday, and today I'm walking into this street again … Although I'm forced.'
Although the entrance was not the one from yesterday, after walking into this street, every pore on his body stood up.
The surroundings were dead silent, exactly like yesterday.
He knew that he had walked into this strange place again.
The four of them walked very slowly, and did not look back, because there was no point.
The moment they stepped into the No Return Road, the exit and the entrance of this road were connected, forming a closed loop.
If they did not break this closed loop, no matter which direction they went, they would not be able to escape the range of this road!
Tap tap!
The sound of footsteps rang out, and a figure walked out from the depths of the road, leaving a line of bloody footprints behind him.
His face was purplish-black, and many parts of his body were rotten. It was unknown how long he had been dead.
"I don't know …"
Cold sweat broke out on Hei Jie's forehead. "There's no such person in the file!"
This meant that his biggest trick had lost its effect, and now he was panicking.
"There are so many missing people, who knows when this person died here? Maybe there's no statistics … "
Merry frowned. "This is troublesome …"
She had already carefully checked the ground with the two reserve members just now, but they did not find anything unusual, nor could they find the source of the strange thing.
"I can't let this corpse get close, or something bad will definitely happen. I'll probably have to take a gamble."
Merry looked at the approaching corpse and took out a silver bottle from her bosom. She poured out drops of water from the bottle onto the ground.
