Darkness is Coming

  Xiao Guang squatted on the high-back chair, playing with the glass full of red wine in his hand boredly. He supported the bottom of the goblet with his palm and swayed gently to watch the red wine in the glass slowly flow.

   "Hey, is this how you drink red wine?" Xiao Guang suddenly put down his glass and asked a rich middle-aged man next to him.

   "Yes yes yes." The middle-aged man nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"It's an egg, don't think you can fool me if I have never drunk red wine!" Xiao Guang's hand suddenly turned metallic, and then the five fingers came together, turning into a long and narrow blade, which was cut with a gentle wave. The middle-aged man's throat, although he desperately covered the wound with both hands, the fresh blood was still spraying.

   "I hate being lied to the most by others, you, tell me, is this how you drink red wine?" Xiao Guang pulled up another young man in the uniform of the casino staff.

The young man's face turned pale, he bit his lower lip for a few seconds, then shook his head and said, "No, no! The goblet was invented so that people can affect the temperature and interfere with the flavor of red wine without touching the wall with the palm of their hand. And, you, this sherry glass in your hand is used to hold champagne, and guests who win big in casinos sometimes open a bottle of champagne to celebrate. You should use that dome over there..."

   Before he could finish speaking, the young man had closed his mouth forever.

   Xiao Guang held his head, stared at his gradually fading eyes, and said viciously: "I hate people talking so much!"

   dropped his head, Xiao Guang turned his head again, turned his eyes to the floor-to-ceiling windows, and muttered, "Also, I hate others to peep at me the most."

   Yang Xiaoqian, who was hiding in the outdoor observation deck, immediately put down the telescope and squatted down, blocking his sight with a guardrail, which was extremely difficult to find under the cover of night.

Also squatting beside him were Wang Hai and Yu Qian, while his father Yang Yan, casino owner Wang Li and Liang's husband and wife stayed on the ferry to take care of Zhang Xinyi, who was in a coma. burden.

   "It was discovered." Yang Xiaoqian shook his head helplessly, "It seems that the surprise attack will not work, why is this guy's perception so strong? Will it not only have the ability to mutate, but also have the ability to perceive?"

  Yu Qian shook his head and answered with certainty: "He only has a chain on his forehead, so there must be only one ability."

   "What do you mean?" Yang Xiaoqian always thought there was only one chain.

"No one knows how many chains there are, but one thing is clear: every time a chain is opened, it is possible to gain a new ability or strengthen an original ability. Since he only has a chain on his forehead when he uses the ability, he will There must be only one ability." Yu Qian briefly explained, probably recalling the strong man who had opened multiple chains he had seen before, with awe and longing in his eyes.

   "Even so, we can't be sure whether the other party has only one Awakened." Yang Xiaoqian frowned, feeling a headache. The other party has already noticed it, leaving little time for his own plan, but he knows very little about the other party.

   "I know that person." Wang Hai said suddenly, and he also used his monocular to observe for a while.

"Um?"

"He is the serial murderer who made a lot of noise a while ago: Xiao Guang. The police put up a reward for his photo, but the influence was not considered well, and there was no publicity during the investigation process and after he was brought to justice." Wang Hai said quickly. , "You must not have known much in school before, but I have heard a lot of inside information."

"It turned out to be him." Yang Xiaoqian suddenly realized that the other party's behavior was indeed not like a normal person, "Quickly tell me what you know, his character, experience, occupation, do you know? The most important thing is that after the police began to track him down, he response, this is the key point.”

"I don't know exactly what he experienced, but I heard that he used to be a clerk in an office with a very extreme personality. An old comrade of mine told me that based on the subsequent interrogation, he knew that he had been killed by colleagues in the workplace for a long time. However, he did not dare to kill those colleagues who angered him because he was afraid of being caught, and instead started a series of random killings to vent his anger-this kind of case is often the most difficult to investigate, because there is no relationship between the victim and the murderer. The motive for the murder could not be guessed at all, and the method of killing was different every time, and it was not even a serial murder case until a certain number of cases were piled up."

   "How did you catch it in the end?" Yang Xiaoqian asked anxiously, the reason for the opponent's failure must be a weakness that could be exploited.

"The central government has begun to pay attention to such a big case. The provincial department has already dispatched elite criminal police officers to form a joint investigation team. However, according to my comrades-in-arms, I could finally catch it because a police officer surnamed Liu connected key clues. He also Therefore, he was promoted, but he was not in the criminal investigation department, and was transferred to the city security department to be the deputy director, which can be said to be a leap to the sky at his age."

   After listening to Wang Hai's description, a face of undiminished determination in blood and fire appeared in Yang Xiaoqian's mind.

   "Liu Yuanzhou?"

   "It seems to be this name." Wang Hai nodded.

Yang Xiaoqian took a deep breath and began to talk to himself at a very fast rate: "He has an extreme personality, he can't tolerate others pointing at him, so he has the intention of killing his colleagues, so he started killing in the casino. But he also Caution and timidity, I chose to kill innocent people at random to vent my anger and did not dare to kill my colleagues directly. If it were me, if I wanted to kill people, what would I do? I would plan and act as carefully as I did with Huang Han. But Xiao Guang did not This is not because of his low IQ. If he had been arrested and brought to justice with a low IQ, why would he not want to spend a long time doing a well-thought-out murder plan that could escape suspicion?"

"Because of impulsiveness, normal people can control their impulses. Even if they are furious and yell to kill the whole family, they will not take action after the quarrel. Xiao Guang can't control his impulses, and he has no patience for long-term preparations and plans. , but he can rationally choose the object of venting his anger to be an unrelated person instead of splashing blood on the spot when arguing with others, he himself is very contradictory...contradictory, contradictory!" Yang Xiaoqian's mouth slightly raised, "This is what we can use. place."

   "How to use it?" Yu Qian couldn't understand what Yang Xiaoqian was talking about.

"The fact that this guy can commit so many murders before he is caught shows that he is a criminal with a high IQ. The time left for us is only two or three minutes at most, and it is impossible to create a detailed and comprehensive battle plan. But it doesn't matter, I He is a normal person and he is mentally ill, this is the biggest advantage I can see at the moment, although he is very smart, I can't crush him with IQ, but I can find a way to make his IQ drop." Yang Xiaoqian said more and more. Have confidence.

   "How to do it?" Wang Hai also interjected.

"He's very smart, so he can think of everything I can think of. I'll be upright in a moment, no, I'll go out with arrogance and let him lose his patience and want to kill me immediately - but he won't , because I want to show the identity of the Awakened by directly showing the chain on my forehead, which makes him feel scruples and makes him try to speculate about my abilities. And he may also doubt whether I have any companions nearby, so he does not dare to take it easy. Do it. And I will challenge his bottom line of patience again and again, making him lose control of his emotions and lose his ability to judge in the conflict between his own impulses and rationality.”

Yang Xiaoqian paused and continued: "It should be difficult for such a mental patient to find a die-hard comrade-in-arms. As long as it can make him go crazy, no matter whether there are any awakened ones in their group, our chances of winning will be much greater. As for the other Awakeneds, I can even convince them to join us. After all, they are now just a group of fugitives frightened by the corpse tide, a group of cowards who alleviate their fears by abusing others. Not difficult."

"However." Yang Xiaoqian said the turning point that people are most reluctant to hear, "These are just my speculations, or speculations based on one-sided and not necessarily true information, I may not be right, in case I was wrong, what if he's not mentally ill, what if he's not out of control? So we also need a backup plan."

   "What is it?" Finding it more and more difficult for him to keep up with Yang Xiaoqian's rhythm, Yu Qian has temporarily given up thinking.

"It's you." Yang Xiaoqian said, "When he used his ability just now, his arm was completely changed, and it looked like metal. Of course, we can't be sure whether the material is metal or not. Waiting for the opportunity to attack."

   "Isn't it because his perception is very strong that the surprise attack is ineffective?"

"Then we can't meet and showdown, don't we keep a single trump card?" Yang Xiaoqian said while pouring bottled drinking water over his head, "You are our trump card, of course we have to turn it over at the end, saying something unlucky, In case I am run over mercilessly, you can still take the opportunity to slip away and take care of my father for me."

   "Aren't you always afraid of danger, why do you want me to sit in the back and pass by yourself?" Yu Qian felt a touch of emotion in his heart. This was the first time in his life that someone was willing to take risks and put him in a safe position.

   "It's useless for you to go, your IQ is crushed, hehe." Yang Xiaoqian stroked his wet hair with his hands to style his hair.

  Yu Qian raised a middle finger, and the emotion in his heart disappeared.

   "How about it, does my hairstyle look like a white-collar worker sitting in an office?" Yang Xiaoqian turned his head, the standard three-seven.

  Wang Hai was silent and nodded lightly.

   "It's a pity that he couldn't find the right clothes. It would be great if he could appear in front of him in the image of an annoying office worm and remind him of his colleagues."

"Okay, Wang Hai, you go out with me, we try our best to attract all the attention, Yu Qian stay to pay attention to covert observation, and then slowly approach." Yang Xiaoqian put down the rest of the load and only brought the pistol that was turned out from the scar face before. , and a small black cuboid.
