From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 156 The golden cicada escapes from its shell
No Essence was obtained.

Lu Heng confirmed again and again that his source essence fusion degree was still 82%, without any increase.

This doesn't make sense.

Of course, it's not entirely possible that this will happen, but the possibility is a bit low.

There is only one situation that will lead to killing Sato Ichiro and not obtaining the source essence.

That is, the source essence in his body is not in a free state.

In other words, he has already obtained the complete [Soul Reaper] class.

But, is this possible?
[Soul Reaper] is a second-level job. There are very few psychics who can obtain the second-level starting essence. It should be that no one can obtain the complete second-level job yet.

Lu Heng killed two psychics with second-level source essence, Hideyoshi Tsukawa and Takeharu Saito, and only then did he push the source essence fusion degree to 82%.

Can Ichiro Sato push the source essence fusion degree to 100% so quickly?

This possibility is too low.

Moreover, there is one most crucial piece of information.

In the ambulance, Sato Ichiro said: "You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that your essence will soon be mine."

This sentence has already shown that Sato Ichiro's first goal is to fight for the source material.

In other words, he must have started a battle for the source essence, and he must have free source essence in his body.

Since there is free source matter, it should be able to be absorbed.

However, Lu Heng's source essence fusion degree did not increase, and he did not see any prompts for absorbing source essence.

Why is that?
Lu Heng squatted down, straightened Sato Ichiro's face, and looked at it carefully.

There was no problem with the body, it was indeed Sato Ichiro.

If it is a transformation skill, the skill effect will disappear after death.

Since the appearance has not changed, it means that the dead person is Sato Ichiro.

So, where did the source go?

……

On the street, ambulance sirens blared.

Paramedics are rescuing people.

Two people were rescued from the ambulance, one was the driver and the other was a doctor.

"This doctor still has a pulse, send him to the hospital for surgery."

"The driver still has a pulse..."

The paramedics found a stretcher and lifted the seriously injured and unconscious doctor and driver, preparing to put them into the ambulance and send them to the hospital for emergency treatment.

That's when.

Lu Heng turned his head to look at the doctor who was being lifted up, strode over, took out his pistol, loaded it, took off the safety, and pointed it at the doctor's head.

The surrounding paramedics, law enforcement officers, and Iron Blood Investigation Bureau agents saw this scene and almost shouted at the same time: "Stop!"

Chen Linian quickly shouted, "Don't shoot! This is a medical worker."

When Lu Heng used the shadow clone to get into the car, it was the doctor who looked like a Japanese who gave him ten times the dose of sedatives.

If it were an ordinary person, this dose would kill him instantly.

Therefore, even if this doctor with Japanese appearance is a real doctor, he deserves to be put to death.

Lu Heng put the gun to his head and stared at his expression, wanting to see if he would react.

However, this Japanese doctor seemed to be truly unconscious and did not respond.

Chen Linian took two quick steps forward to stop him: "Don't shoot. Even if this man has committed a crime, we should be the ones investigating..."

boom!
Lu Heng didn't even look at Chen Linian, and shot him when he was halfway through his words.

There was a gunshot and a direct headshot.

This Japanese doctor had lost half of his head and was deader than dead.

As soon as Chen Linian walked to the side, blood splashed all over his face. He stood there in a daze, not knowing how to deal with this situation.

Originally, he thought that was the end of it.

However, Lu Heng shot the Japanese doctor dead and suddenly turned around and walked towards another stretcher.

The person carried on the stretcher was the ambulance driver.

"What are you doing!" Chen Linian suddenly showed a look of horror on his face and wanted to rush up to stop him.

Lu Heng walked towards the driver without looking back, and then released a shadow clone.

The shadow clone raised the sword and put it on Chen Linian's neck, stopping him from moving forward.

Lu Heng walked to the driver's stretcher, put the gun to his head, and stared at his expression.

Although the driver seemed motionless, his eyelashes trembled slightly.

Lu Heng slowly said, "Do you know why your attempt to escape failed? You shouldn't have taken the Essence with you."

correct.

Ichiro Sato has no source essence, and Doctor Fuso has no source essence.

There were only three people in the ambulance, besides Ichiro Sato, Dr. Fuso and the driver.

Having ruled out other possibilities, the remaining one, no matter how unlikely it is, is the truth.

"I can give you everything you want..."

The driver started to speak but was only halfway through his sentence.

boom!
Lu Heng pulled the trigger and shot the man in the head, white and red blood splattering all over the ground. The two medical staff carrying the stretcher were so scared that they screamed and turned around to run away.

[Absorbing source essence, source essence fusion degree reaches 100%]

[The fusion of the source essence is completed, the job rank is integrated, and it is promoted to the second job rank "Shadow Swordsman". 】

[Shadow Swordsman: A swordsman who travels between the shadow and material worlds, and has mastered the complete abilities of "Shadow Travel" and "Rift Slash".]

[Fissure Slash: Releases source energy, slashes out a sword beam that is powerful enough to tear through space, indestructible. Wherever the sword beam passes, a rift mark that lasts for 3 seconds is formed. No matter what material cannot pass through the rift mark completely, even in the shadow walking state. ]

Almost as expected, [Shadow Walker] merged with [Swordsman] to form the second-class [Shadow Swordsman].

Due to the nature of class fusion, the probability of encountering the same class becomes lower as the game progresses.

Even a [Swordsman] can be merged into different swordsman classes due to the differences in other classes.

After the fusion of the [Shadow Swordsman] class, the effect of [Rift Slash] has gained a new effect.

After the rift sword light is slashed out, a rift mark can be formed.

The Rift Mark can basically be seen as a barrier. Any matter that tries to pass through the Rift Mark will be torn apart.

Moreover, since it carries the abilities of the Shadow class, the Scar of Rift can even block the passage of shadows.

Seeing the data prompt, Lu Heng smiled.

As expected, Ichiro Sato really used the trick of escaping from his shell, and his "soul" drilled into the driver's body, trying to escape.

Unfortunately, the essence he took away betrayed him.

In fact, if it were someone else, even if they guessed that Sato Ichiro might have used a trick to escape, there might be nothing they could do.

After all, the law enforcement team and the Iron-Blooded Investigation Bureau have arrived, and it is no longer possible to kill them at this time.

However, Lu Heng didn't care about that at all. In front of the senior inspector of the Iron-Blooded Investigation Bureau, he beat up Fuso's doctor and driver.

Chen Linian is a little at a loss now because the current situation is difficult to deal with.

He took a deep breath and said to Lu Heng: "You need to come back with me to record your statement."

Lu Heng took out a wet tissue, wiped the blood off his hands and face, and replied in a tone as indifferent as water: "I'm busy."

"Do you know what you just did?" Chen Linian felt very complicated.

Lu Heng was the most difficult person he had ever met in his life.

During the past six months, he and Lu Heng had dealt with each other many times, and even went to Siam together to investigate the case of the Evil God's Finger.

He clearly felt just now that Lu Heng did not kill in passion but calmly. He shot two people with two shots with precise purpose.

"What did I do? A group of Fuso killers came to Daxia to kill people and set fire. What are you guys, Tiexue, doing?" Lu Heng glanced at him.

Chen Linian was choked and speechless.

Because he saw the matter very clearly. It was indeed the Fuso killer who committed the crime in Daxia, but he hit a wall and was killed in return.

Chen Linian had no choice but to say in a negotiating tone: "You must at least record a statement and explain clearly what happened tonight."

"I'm busy. You can investigate however you want." After wiping the blood, Lu Heng threw the wet tissue on the ground, turned around and left.

Just at this time, Su Muyu and Lin Zeyu rushed over, and the three of them walked side by side.

Lin Zeyu looked back at Chen Linian and said loudly, "Inspector Chen, it's time to investigate the Chunshang Group. This is the third time the Fuso killer has appeared. Don't do anything else, let us do it for you."

Chen Linian's face turned blue and red because he was hurt by the sarcasm.

The Fuso killers appeared in the coastal area three times in succession. Each time, there was a lot of noise, with guns and bombs used.

The Iron-Blooded Investigation Bureau is indeed responsible for this happening.

Chen Linian was not the only member of the Iron-Blooded Investigation Bureau present at the scene.

His apprentice Gao Zhiting was also there.

This was the first time he saw Lu Heng's [Shadow Clone] ability.

You can create a clone that is exactly the same as the original body.

Gao Zhiting immediately thought of the two cases six months ago.

In the case of the murder of four people in an abandoned factory, the files at the time mentioned that a taxi's dashcam captured a figure at the crime scene, and at the time the footage was taken, Lu Heng had returned to the hotel, so there was an alibi.

There was also the case of Hongda Lending Company. At the time of the incident, the cameras at Wuliqiao Mall captured Lu Heng and Su Muyu shopping.

Both cases had alibis, which were indeed not a problem at the time.

But now it seems that the key point has appeared.

Gao Zhiting's heart was pounding because he felt that he had discovered an incredible secret. The alibis for the two cases could be created using clones.

When you think about it this way, a lot of things become clear.

He quietly wrote down these clues in a notebook, but when a colleague came over, he immediately closed the notebook.

He is no longer obsessed with investigating Lu Heng.

In fact, he was very sure in his heart that the person who attacked him from behind, knocked him unconscious, and then transformed into his appearance to enter the Eikoh Hospital and kill Ono Kenji more than a month ago was also Lu Heng.

He no longer intends to pursue the matter.

He has experienced too many cases in the past six months.

There are some cruel devils who can take advantage of legal loopholes and get away with it.

However, there are some people who have done nothing evil and have even saved many people, but are bound by the rules and regulations of the law.

So, he recorded the clues he found in a notebook, but he just wanted to keep it as a collection.

He also gradually accepted the fact that the law maintains order, but what he wants is fairness and justice.
