    In the gloomy Chengnan Fang District, black snowflakes like embers fell in the sky, and the gloomy aura was like an ominous shadow, shrouding the narrow and deep alleys.

    Pieces of black embers wrapped in flame veins fell silently on the ground, like winter snowflakes falling on feathers, so quiet that no sound could be heard. The roadway of the lighting facility is flickering.

    "Four...six...eleven..."

    Chen Xian pressed the control button of the meat saw with his hand, and unfolded its blade completely with a bang. His hands seemed to be holding a monstrous giant axe. , poured out from the metal gap between the blade and the handle in an instant, and quickly spread out in the alley.

    The cold and dark old alley was now covered with a strong smell of blood. Lu Yisheng took a look at Chen Xian from the corner of his eye by the light of the flashlight, only to find that he could not see the outline of his figure, only to see His eyes gleamed faintly in the dark.

    In the shadows, the thin Chen Xian didn't look abrupt, as if he was part of that shadow, and he didn't resist the darkness around him at all, on the contrary, he seemed to be used to it and even enjoy it.

    In fact, Chen Xian has been like this since he was a child.

    He doesn't like standing in bright places, and he doesn't dare to stand in front of people at will. He likes to find some corners with no one to stay quietly, because only this is the safest, at least he thinks so... ... The sense of security that darkness can bring him is unparalleled, and hiding himself has long since become his nature, deeply embedded in his bones.

    From a certain point of view, his various behaviors have long deviated from the trajectory of normal human beings. The reason why he often suspects that he has a mental illness is also for this reason.

    "Can I get in touch with the outside world?" Chen Xian's voice suddenly came from the shadows, and he said unhurriedly, "The current situation is not consistent with the information they dictated, you pass it out and let them record it, maybe right? It helps to solve the case.”

    Hearing Chen Xian's voice, Lu Yisheng didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly took out a small black box from his jacket pocket. When he pressed the red button on the left, the speaker of the black box also made a harsh electric sound. .

    "As they said, there seems to be something here that can block the signal." Lu Yisheng asked cautiously, "Boss, what should I do now?"

    "At present, there are fifteen targets I can sense. They are all located in the south, which is where we just walked before. They may have come out of those residential areas." Chen Xian's voice was very soft. He was also very calm, and his mood did not change because of the current situation. "You are responsible for paying attention to the movement in the true north. If there are other unfamiliar targets approaching us from the north, remember to call me."

    "Call you?" Lu Yisheng was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Chen Xian, "What do you want to do, boss? You don't want to split up with me, do you?? I can't handle them alone!"

    "It's okay, I can handle it."

    Chen Xian walked slowly in the darkness along the shadows in the corner, and when he spoke to Lu Yisheng, his tone was frighteningly calm, as if he didn't take the current situation seriously at all.

    At this moment, Chen Xian's thin body exudes an extremely disturbing aura. He is not like an alien who is about to come forward to meet the enemy, but like a beast dormant in the dark, approaching unhurriedly. The prey that has yet to show up.

    When Chen Xian passed by Lu Yisheng silently, Lu Yisheng couldn't help shivering, and a kind of fear appeared very suddenly, because he felt... Chen Xian's Eyes are not what humans should have.

    That kind of gaze hidden under the calm is enough to make any normal human feel fearful, even if his gaze is not on you, you will feel that you have become a prey to be slaughtered by him, as if he will be swallowed alive by him at any time. into the stomach.

    "It's getting closer..."

    Chen Xian muttered to himself in his heart, his hands tightened the grip of the knife handle, every muscle on his body was mobilized as much as possible, and his body leaned forward slightly in a half-bent position. attitude.

    Slowly, Chen Xian took a few steps forward.

    At this time, those creatures walking in the dark like him gradually came into his sight...

    In the narrow and cramped alley, more than a dozen twisted and thin figures were walking towards Chen Xian. Their walking postures were extremely strange. Taking a step forward, the body will swing with a huge amplitude, making a very disturbing sound... similar to the sound of wood being torn.

    The information given to Chen Xian by the Armed Section and the Investigation Section was correct. These targets lurking in the housing area waiting for an opportunity were indeed paper figurines, but they were different from paper figurines in the traditional sense.

    Their bodies are not made of ordinary colored paper, and even Chen Xian wondered if the layer on their surface was actually paper?

    In terms of visual texture, their "skin" is very similar to some kind of translucent plastic film, and the color is like orange after the oil has been corrupted. Through this layer of musty skin, Chen Xian can He could vaguely see the skeletal structures in their bodies made of bamboo pieces. In addition to these, Chen Xian also saw some things that even he couldn't believe.

    The torso of these paper figurines is covered with filamentous networks of blood and green, just like the vascular tissue and nerve tissue in the human body. Except for the absence of internal organs, the "physiological structure" of these paper figurines is almost human!

    "What the hell are these...Isn't this a paper man?!"

    Lu Yisheng couldn't help exclaiming, his face covered with fine sweat was also full of fear, maybe his voice was too loud to stimulate these abnormal existences, almost all paper figurines turned their heads in an instant, ignoring the obstacles Chen Xian, who was in the middle of the alley, looked straight at Lu Yisheng, and a strange and stiff smile appeared on his face.

    At this moment, Chen Xian stepped forward silently, and at a distance of about one meter five from the paper figurine, he suddenly raised the meat saw in his hand and chopped it down like an axe splitting wood.

    With a sound similar to that of paper being cut by a utility knife, the three paper figures at the front were directly split in half, and the meat saw was also due to Chen Xian's excessive force, and after the paper figures were split, It sank into the ground, leaving a huge crack about half a meter long on the cement floor that had been baptized over the years.

    Before the other paper figurines could react, Chen Xian raised the handle of the knife calmly, pulled out the mottled meat saw blade from the ground, and slashed again with one step forward.

    For Chen Xian, this kind of battle is really not challenging at all. The effort required to split the paper figurines is similar to that of chopping wood, and their reaction speed is also lower than Chen Xian expected, so there is no chance to escape at all. This large "paper cutter".

    Fights come fast and end fast.

    However, in just a few dozen seconds, under Chen Xian's operation like chopping melons and vegetables, the meat saw with a pungent stench slashed the bodies of fifteen paper figures one after another.

    When the last paper figurine fell, Chen Xian frowned, feeling that something was amiss.

    These paper people...how are they so weak?

    If their combat effectiveness is only at the current level, how could the Investigation Section have killed so many people? How could the soldiers of the Armed Section be so embarrassed?

    At this level, even if there are more than a dozen of them, Lu Yisheng is more than enough to deal with them, right?

    Chen Xian pondered with confusion on his face, looking at the wreckage of paper figurines everywhere, he was a little confused but did not dare to relax, and still stared at them vigilantly.

    "Boss...Is this done?" Lu Yisheng was a little unresponsive, looked at Chen Xian, and then at the pile of wreckage on the ground, his expression became more and more confused, "Are you too strong or they are too weak ? It's over so soon?"

    "Not right."

    Chen Xian frowned tightly, took a step back, and distanced himself from the nearest paper figurine.

    "The yin in their bodies has not come out, it's still flowing...it's accelerating...they're still alive!"

    When Chen Xian said the last sentence, all the paper figurines on the ground were like tattered paper shells blown by the wind, shaking frantically, making a strange buzzing sound.

    Under Chen Xian's vigilant gaze, the remnants of these paper figurines began to gradually split, and then... grew.

    Their translucent surface "skin tissue" and the bones made of bamboo and wood in their bodies seem to be able to grow freely at will.

    "Do you remember what Section Chief Tu said?" Chen Xian asked coldly, with a bit of confusion in his eyes, and a bit of understanding, as if he had already guessed what was going to happen next.

    "What did Section Chief Tu say?" Lu Yisheng was very nervous, he couldn't think of that much for a moment, and subconsciously asked Chen Xian, "What did he say?"

    Chen Xian watched the strange changes of the paper figurine's body, and said word by word.

    "The more they kill, the more they can kill."
