26. Xiaochuan Apartment

Across the corridor, in the spacious living room, there were two other corpses, one large and one small, both of which were rotting maggots. Matou Shinji knew that this was the magician's wife and daughter. It seemed that all three of the family died like this. ah.

Repeating the old trick, stuffing a piece of butterfly powder and turning the two corpses into clear water, the only thing Matou Shinji can do now is to make their corpses no longer serve as a breeding ground for maggots.

"There are almost no traces of battle... It seems that the opponent has a crushing power."

Matou Shinji took a quick look in the small villa and said to himself, then he turned and walked outside, it was impossible to get more information here.

The spiritual land here is also infected. As one of the magic nodes of the enchantment, it seems that the mastermind behind the scene is for this spiritual land, so he killed the magician's family here.

However... What makes Matou Shinji a little puzzled is why he must kill them all, if it's just for the spiritual ground, there's no need to be so extreme.

"quack!!"

The Three-Eyed Crow flew from the sky, and after quacking twice, it turned into a black fog and disappeared into the air again.

Regarding the fact that Aozaki orange was not at home, Matou Shinji had already prepared in his heart, and he did not show an unexpected expression, but sighed helplessly, put the Aozaki orange thing aside, and started to follow along Find the core center of this great enchantment according to the direction of the energy flow of the ley lines.

Under the cover of the night, Matou Shinji jumped forward on the top of the high-rise building. He now has some understanding of this enchantment and guessed where the ceremony node of this great enchantment is.

For the Great Barrier Ceremony covering Guanbuzi City, since the source of magic power is the only leyline here, the requirements for a place that can be used as a ritual node are naturally not too low, and a lot of energy and financial resources must be spent to build a ritual node.

But this behind-the-scenes mastermind did not do this, but chose a more efficient and more rude and annoying choice. Since a ritual node is needed, the magic workshop built by the local magician on the spiritual ground is not a ready-made magic node!

Just grab it and grab it!

Matou Shinji quickly jumped above the top floor, and there was a street with people coming and going, but none of them, dragging their tired bodies, looked up at the sky at this time.

boom!

Another local magician's workshop door was kicked open, and as soon as Matou Shinji entered the door, he smelled the familiar corpse stench, and it really looked like this!

Matou Shinji quickly checked the place, but unfortunately no new traces were found. The owner of the place still died very simply, and there was no sign of violent struggle.

He left the house full of corpse stench, turned the corpse of the owner into clear water, and let them rest in peace. This time, Shinji did not jump on the roof, but walked slowly on the street, his pupils thinking without focus.

There is no need to look at the rest of the place. Matou Shinji has enough confidence that anyone who occupies the spiritual land is probably dead by now.

If it is said that the nodes of the enchantment ceremony are composed of local spiritual ground, and the magic power is supplied by the leylines, then I happen to have a clear understanding of the location of the two, and the direction and trend of the leylines.

With the starting point and node, even if it is not clear how this great barrier was established, it can be roughly deduced that the central core of the barrier is there!

Shinji stopped, leaned on the street lamp, closed his eyes, and began to quickly deduce the composition of the magic barrier in his mind, starting with the leylines! The spirit is the branch! Where does it meet?

A picture of the flow of magic power from the ley lines in Buzi City was formed in his mind. Pieces of spiritual land were transformed into morning stars and embedded in them. With the magic knowledge possessed by Matou Shinji, the location of the core hub was quickly replaced by the location of the core hub. He analyzed it!

His closed eyes suddenly opened, and Matou Shinji immediately turned his head to look at the street sign on the side. The last time he came here, he had memorized the map of the entire Guanbuzi City, so now he just needs to be sure where he is. .

"Chunhui Town... It looks like it's not far from the destination."

Matou Shinji showed a smile, turned and walked towards the small alley by the roadside. He didn't want to take a detour. Of course, walking is the best way to take a shortcut. As for the danger at night... A shadow flashed in the blue pupils.

Perhaps...he is the most dangerous person tonight.

There were steady footsteps in the dark alley, the blue windbreaker swayed in the alley, and Shinji disappeared into the alley.

After walking in the dark alley for almost half an hour, Matou Shinji returned to the bustling street, with a beautiful river in front of him, and a luxurious cylindrical apartment on the other side of the river.

Looking at the slightly weird apartment, Matou Shinji's eyes narrowed slightly. The focus of the magic power of the leylines, the control room for manipulating the magic nodes, and the core hub for manipulating the enchantment seemed to be in this cylindrical apartment. bingo.

Staring at the building for a moment, he did not enter it for the first time, but instead looked around the apartment building to observe the shape of the building.

It is obviously surrounded by ordinary buildings, but this one is cylindrical, which is particularly conspicuous in this bustling urban area.

"Ceremonial formation?"

This building is not simple. After Matou Shinji circled around it, he saw that this core hub had a violent magical reaction, just like another leyline.

In Matou Shinji's field of vision, the cumulus clouds formed by the gloomy emotions in the sky are directly linked to the building like a funnel, and countless negative emotions poured in, making the whole building feel extremely cold and lonely.

When he was walking around the building, Matou Shinji also discovered that it was the sports car of Aozaki Orange, which was exactly the same as the one he had cut open. front of the building.

At this time, Matou Shinji already knew the name of this building: Ogawa Apartment.

The name is very ordinary, but it does not match its luxurious decoration. Matou Shinji stood at the door and thought for a while, and then walked in like this.

clatter!

The first moment he stepped into the gate, Matou Shinji had a strange look on his face. He looked at his feet and felt... as if he had stepped into another world and was completely closed off from the outside world.

"Heh, another world...that's a big deal."

Matou Shinji looked up at the decorations here, whether it was the surrounding decorations or the paint color in the apartment, it made people feel very uncomfortable, as if calling out the dark side of people's hearts, the building was full of negative emotions , Just standing here, Matou Shinji felt a faint sense of irritability rising from the ignorance in his heart.

Can this also be called an apartment? Is this where people live?

Walking into the elevator, Matou Shinji looked up imperceptibly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, it seemed that the owner here already knew his arrival.

Instead, he wants to see what this apartment that absorbs negative emotions is doing, and what the mastermind behind the scenes wants to do here!

This apartment feels strange everywhere, and the natural elevator is no exception. Matou Shinji pressed a floor at will, and as his body sank slightly, he quickly noticed the strangeness. If the ordinary elevator is straight up and down, then this elevator Just like a spiral.

"interesting!"

Matou Shinji smiled, glanced at the ceiling of the elevator, then closed his eyes directly, and confirmed the direction directly by feeling. The long sword of the knight appeared in his hand, and the purple incantation exuded a calamity-like brilliance, making the surrounding air slightly distorted .

Squeak! !

The weird elevator stopped, Shinji opened his eyes and strode out of the elevator, looking at the thin layer of dust on the ground, his face did not change, and walked towards the corridor.

The floor plan of the entire apartment building is circular, and the residents of each apartment have to take the elevator, then walk through the long corridor and go around the outside of the building to enter their room.

And Matou Shinji was now standing in front of a door, two purple sword lights flashed, the door instantly turned into several pieces scattered on the ground, and then Matou Shinji smelled the familiar corpse stench again.

With the influx of fresh air after a long absence, the corpse hanging in the air swayed slightly. The shriveled corpse was covered with various insects. The empty eye sockets looked directly at Matou Shinji. Some white maggots were crawling in and out. The overturned chair looks like a suicidal person.

However, there was a slender black-red trace on the ground, which was obviously a sign of dry blood flowing through. Matou Shinji bypassed the corpse hanging in the room and walked towards the interior of the room.
