Life Dungeon Game

This use of the site as an 'execution ground' makes even more homeless people unwilling to come here, fearing they might witness something they shouldn't.

He Ao came here for a very simple reason.

His gaze swept over the dark surroundings.

The direct cause of the son and daughter-in-law's deaths was a car accident.

Their bodies bore repeated crush marks, suggesting that the vehicle was not a chance encounter on the road, but rather a vehicle used in a deliberate attack.

Therefore, this death was most likely not an accidental car accident, but a deliberate 'execution'.

He Ao now knows that his son and daughter-in-law were kidnapped by Evolution and taken to Evolution's headquarters.

Although He Ao didn't know why the final 'execution' was a car accident, he knew that the scene where his son and daughter-in-law were found was not near Xicheng Third Street, but on Xicheng Twelfth Street, which is across half the city from Xicheng Third Street.

There were obvious signs that the bodies had been dumped.

Although they may not have died when their bodies were dumped, which is why they were able to leave behind that social security number.

It's unlikely that Evolution would take someone that far to be executed, so He deduced that the crime scene must have been near Evolution's headquarters, but they deliberately dumped the body that far away to conceal the existence of their headquarters.

Of course, their initial idea was probably to just dump it in a far corner and let the municipal hearse take it away. They did not expect that Sito's son and daughter-in-law were still alive and had left their social security card numbers.

However, using a vehicle to crash into someone requires a certain amount of space for driving, and since evolution requires hiding oneself, the chosen 'execution ground' should not be too crowded.

He analyzed all the areas near West Third Street and found three possible 'crime scenes'.

This was the last one he came to.

Neither of the first two showed any obvious signs of a violent and horrific car accident.

Stepping on the broken bricks and tiles, He Ao continued forward.

The factory area wasn't very large, and he could search it completely in no time.

There was nothing special about the place where they first entered the ruins. Apart from some scattered, dried bloodstains and some vehicle tracks, He Ao did not find anything obviously wrong.

Until he walked deep into the factory ruins.

There is a circular main building that originally belonged to a chemical plant, although now only the outermost ring of the wall remains after it has been bombed.

It looks like some kind of ancient, legendary arena.

There was almost no dried bloodstains left here, because the place was filled with various chemical toxins. Even He Ao, who was now skilled in martial arts, felt a slight discomfort when he stood here and breathed.

Those gang members dare not venture deep into this area.

He Ao walked to the wall, holding the flashlight he had just bought by the roadside.

Around these walls, he found some relatively recent tire tracks.

It looks like it was left a few days ago.

.

He followed the tire tracks, shining his flashlight along the way.

Soon, he saw an area that resembled an entrance, where the tire tracks stopped.

He turned around and entered the ruins of the circular building through the entrance.

The central part of the entire building was blown away, leaving only a flat view and some collapsed low walls and pillars.

Using the flashlight, He Ao quickly discovered a dent that was clearly caused by an impact.

The dent is about half a meter deep and nearly two meters in diameter. It doesn't look like it was made by a human or a mechanical object; it looks more like some kind of flesh and blood monster.

For example, a powerful, polluting monster.

He searched around the dent and found some dried bloodstains on some steel bars. The bloodstains looked very fresh and were left a few days ago.

On one of the steel bars, there was a bloodstained handprint.

These are traces left by humankind.

In this area, there once lived a giant, polluted monster that was chasing certain people.

He continued forward along the impact marks and bloodstains.

Although these traces circled the entire factory area several times, there were still clear paths.

Soon, He Ao arrived at the end of these traces.

It was a narrow passage, only wide enough for one person to pass through at a time.

The entrance to the passage was blocked by a huge concrete pillar, leaving only a small gap.

However, through these gaps, He Ao could still clearly see the bloodstains on the walls of the passage and the bloody footprints on the ground.

He Ao climbed over the wall and reached the exit of the passage, outside the circular wall.

At this exit location, there are two pairs of bloodstained footprints.

Judging from the pattern on the soles and the size of the footprints, they appear to belong to a man and a woman respectively.

They had just escaped from the factory ruins and were standing at the entrance of the passageway, panting.

He looked ahead at the footprints, where there were two deep tire tracks. Behind the footprints and tire tracks, under the light of the flashlight, there was a large pool of splattered blood on the wall and the ground.

He Ao vaguely saw the figures of a middle-aged couple in front of him.

They stood at the entrance of the passage, covered in blood, rejoicing at their escape.

In that instant, a large vehicle sped by and knocked them flying.

Blood splattered on the curved wall and the gravel-strewn ground.

He bent over, clutching his heart, and leaned against the old wall.

The physical pain and mental anguish caused by the toxic substances in the air combined to almost suffocate him.

After a while, he caught his breath, turned around, and walked towards the exit.

He didn't examine the bloodstains any further.

He has already received the answer.

The tall SUV drove through the ruins and stopped in front of him.

He struggled to reach out and climb into the SUV, then sat down in the chair.

The SUV turned around and headed towards its next destination.

At that moment, He Ao's bracelet vibrated.

It was a message from Ishia.

The message contained investigation documents related to the Nighthawk case.

He took a deep breath to calm his heartbeat, and after a while, he...

Start quickly flipping through these documents.

These documents contain a wealth of firsthand information about the Nighthawk case, and even include photographs of many documents that have already been destroyed by the Pollution Cleanup Division.

For example, this document contains photos of the warehouse where Nighthawks 'raised' the contaminated monsters, and that warehouse has now been completely destroyed by the Contamination Cleanup Department, which not only burned everything that could be burned, but also demolished the walls.

These photos basically recreate the scene inside the warehouse at that time, with one after another, the polluted monsters that looked very weak being locked in huge iron cages. Between the iron cages, there seemed to be a huge dissection table, with all sorts of huge blades hanging on the side.

Judging from the content shown in the photos, it's more accurate to say that the Nighthawk was "studying" the monster rather than "raising" it.

The initial investigation team also had this suspicion in this document.

However, Night Hawk's actions exceeded the rules of the Pollution Cleanup Division, so the investigation team announced that Night Hawk would be arrested.

What happened after that was something He Ao knew roughly.

Night Hawk wounded the investigation team that came to arrest him and escaped.

These documents did not explain in detail what exactly happened, only that Night Hawk fought with the investigation team, wounded the team, and fled, while the investigation team also sustained injuries to Night Hawk.

However, the document records the location where Nighthawk clashed with the investigation team: Sowert Street.

He knew this neighborhood very well; it was near Moker Street. In the past, when Sito went to his son's house, he would get off at the bus stop on Suwit Street and walk to Moker Street.

The two streets are almost adjacent to each other.

Seeing this, He Ao understood.

The reason Evolution started capturing people in Moker Street was likely to find Nighthawk.

They most likely reported the Night Hawk's organization of raising pollution monsters to the Pollution Cleanup Department.

But why arrest people near Mokers Street? Do they have some kind of evidence that these people are connected to the Nighthawks?

He pondered for a moment, then continued flipping through the documents.

The Nighthawk disappeared for a month.

During this month, the Pollution Cleanup Division had almost no direct confrontation with Nighthawks.

They had received intelligence about the appearance of Nighthawks, but by the time they arrived, the Nighthawks had already left.

During this process, they discovered that Nighthawk secretly possessed a strange beast called 'Shadowhound'.

This type of beast is one of the few that can potentially be tamed, but its numbers are extremely limited, and taming it is incredibly difficult. Ordinary people rarely gain the Shadow Hound's trust, but once it does, it will never betray them.

Although Shadowhounds are actually very weak in combat, their innate ability allows them to blend into the shadows, making them extremely difficult to detect. They can also briefly blend into the shadows with their companions, making them natural sentinels.

Judging from its abilities, it appears to be a superhuman being from the Nightcrawler sequence.

These documents record that, with the help of Shadowhounds, Nighthawks were almost always able to escape before the Pollution Cleanup Department arrived.

However, here, some parts of these documents are blurry.

Although these several attempts to capture Nighthawks all ended in failure, theoretically there should still be some data left behind.

However, these documents only briefly mention these actions and leave no information about them.

Including the Nighthawk appearing

Where it disappeared, how it vanished, and what harm it caused are all omitted, only described in a few words.

And if you flip through the pages further, you'll find the final battle.

The head of the Pollution Cleanup Division arrived in St. John's City, and the original investigation team also received a tip from an anonymous informant, learning the possible location of Nighthawk's next move.

This time, they successfully caught the Nighthawk, but by then the Nighthawk had been completely corrupted and controlled by madness.
