Chapter 550 Lu Qingshan

Chapter 51陆青山

As soon as Du Zheng stepped up the steps, he took the last two puffs of his cigarette, threw the cigarette butt into the trash can at the door, and looked up at the gray building in front of him.This is the most boring building for human beings. It is gray, rigid, and solid like a cold fortress.However, he suddenly remembered that from a certain angle, it seemed a little similar to the decoration style of his house.

The opposite door opened automatically in front of him, and he walked through it.Behind the door is a two-story hollow foyer. The white walls that have not been repainted for many years have turned gray, and the turbid air is filled with a strong smell of disinfectant.The old terrazzo floor is dull and dull, and the ground is rough and uneven due to heavy wear and tear.There is a dilapidated wooden table for reception at the door. There is no one behind the table. There is a thick visitor reception book on the table, and the blue plastic clip on the outside is covered with old dirt.

Du Zheng glanced at it, but didn't move the booklet. His footsteps paused for a moment, and he walked straight to the corridor on the left.There are windows on one side of the corridor, and a row of identical iron doors on the other side. There is a small double-layer window on each door, and the windows are also worn out.

Du Zhengyi stopped in front of a door and kicked the door open.

A male guard who was sitting by the window leaning against the back of his chair slowly stood up, looked him up and down, but did not recognize Du Zhengyi, and the lifeless expression on his face became more rigid.

Du Zhengyi nodded to him as a greeting, "They put you on duty here?"

"Yes." The man said, with a flash of disgust on his face, "and let me wear this tiger skin."

"I don't want to come here to see the corpse." Du Zhengyi said, "The human police discovered it first? Why didn't they send the corpse back?"

The hostility of the man eased a little, he took a few steps to the left, and opened an iron cabinet door forcefully. "Humanity's fresh-keeping technology is quite easy to use. Why do they bother to take the corpse back? Anyway, he is a second-level executive mage, so it's no big deal. He just needs to tell his parents that your son has already made a contribution to the magic world. Sacrifice."

After he finished his last sentence, the frozen body was completely dragged out, and a soft magic force blew away the white cloth covering the dead man's face.

A face that was too young was revealed, and the expression at the moment of death froze on his face.Du Zhengyi had seen many faces of dead people who were terrified, but this one was not fear, but more like surprise. Surprised that death would find him, the surprise was so naive.The burst of magical power also blew the hair, and that young face was given false vitality, as if his slightly opened mouth would take a breath at any time, and then open those innocent eyes.

"It's so small." Du Zheng whispered unconsciously.

"Yes." The man said, and looked down at the dead man. "Not long after graduating, it was my first time working as an executive mage. The head is well preserved, but the cause of death is clear."

The white cloth suddenly retreated downwards, and a hole the size of a bowl was opened in the chest of the deceased. The inside was empty, and the ribs were broken neatly. It looked like...

"Being directed distorts the local space." Du Zhengyi said.

"Yes." The man said, he stared at the dark hole, after a while, he shivered, "You guys do this, this way of death...should be considered a happy death, right?"

Du Zhengyi didn't answer, and stretched out his hand to push Baipu back again.

"What's his name?"

"Lu Qingshan." The man thought for a while before saying.

As soon as Du Zheng walked out of the gate, he lit another cigarette, stood on the steps and puffed, while looking at the flower beds surrounding the steps and the old cars outside the flower beds that seemed to be parked all year round.The end of the yard is surrounded by black iron railings, and there is a conscription billboard hanging every two meters.A narrow asphalt road leads directly to the electric retractable door, with red LED text flashing on the door, and a black Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle is parked outside the door.No matter how far away it is, it’s hard to see clearly. Under the gray cloud, there is thick fog. It seems that the sky has increased in thickness, leaving only two floors of space for the earth. The tall buildings in the distance are only dark gray under the gray sky. shadow.

He finished smoking the cigarette in his hand, walked down the steps, and walked along the narrow road to the door. The door of the commercial vehicle slid open automatically. He sat in and kicked the back of the front seat.The mage in front who was playing games with headphones suddenly sat up straight, and said, "Let's go."

The three mages in the back also became embarrassed, and Xiang Gan who was sitting next to him calmly put down the book in his hand and stuffed it into a handbag. "You have to take a look by yourself, knowing that there is nothing to see, you are such a control freak."

Du Zhengyi didn't speak, and looked at the street scene outside the window. The car gradually accelerated and drove forward. The door of an Internet cafe on the side of the road was pushed open, and several noisy human high school students came out, playing and pushing each other. .

Xiang Gan looked at Du Zhengyi again, with disapproval on his face, "After a while, you smoked two cigarettes? Son, you don't need anything, except for a nagging mother."

Du Zhengyi felt that the three battle mages behind him were restraining their breath, as if they wanted to close their ears and erase themselves from this conversation.He did not have a nagging mother, but somehow he remembered the nagging Roach, and quickly stopped this weird association.

He turned his head and saw that Xiang Gan was going to continue talking, but he didn't want to chat, and he never chatted with colleagues. "Have you confirmed Lu Qingshan's final trajectory?"

"Of course." Xiang Gan replied, "Leaded by a first-level executive mage, they went to Qianzhou to investigate all the temples dedicated to Mahakala. This is an arrangement based on the news you brought back. Get to know the bottom of the lotus burner. Lu Qingshan and another second-level executive mage were assigned to a village called Hongquangou, where the tragedy happened."

Seeing that Du Zhengyi didn't respond, she added, "They were unlucky. They were ordinary mages, but they also met a master of the lotus burner. Lu Qingshan's companion was in the same village as him. When they were on both sides of the temple, they didn't even know how he died and who killed him. To be precise, the man didn't know he was dead at the time. He was really blind and deaf. It was the villagers next door. Corpses found. The current mages are really... a bunch of little chickens."

Du Zhengyi didn't comment, and asked, "What's the name of Lu Qingshan's companion?"

Xiang Gan smiled for some reason, and a trace of ridicule floated in his eyes, "Zhou Ruisi, wise, wise, thoughtful."
