Chapter 306 Tracking

Su Lun took the flashlight and walked carefully to the top of the bell tower. The bell tower had no lights or electricity, so he could only rely on the flashlight to slowly climb up.

The bell tower had few exits except the main gate, and there were only a few windows. The back of the main gate was blocked by a pile of collapsed debris, so even if he had the key, he couldn't get in through the main gate.

Judging from the thickness of the dust on the ground, this place may have been abandoned for several years. There was no footprint on the stairs, and no one had ever been here.

This bell tower has been operating normally and the bells have been ringing on time, but this is the center of the school, so it's a bit strange that no one has come here.

Su Lun walked up carefully. The stairs of the bell tower spiraled upward, but it was completely invisible from below.

The bell tower has more than ten floors. It is not only the tallest building in the school, but also one of the tallest buildings in Gotti City.

As Su Lun walked up, a thin mist began to appear in the air, and the mist in the air became thicker with each floor.

When Su Lun walked to the top floor, the surrounding fog had filled the entire space. Although it did not completely block his sight, he could only see things within five meters.

Strangely, there was no fog outside the clock tower, and only the clock tower looked strange.

Su Lun walked to the top of the building, and he didn't find anything wrong except the fog.

There was nothing on the top of the building, except for a huge clock composed of a mechanical device. Although there was no power, this old clock device could accurately report the time. According to his understanding, this clock had never had any errors.

Su Lun explored the entire roof. Because of the fog, his exploration speed was very slow, and in the end he found nothing, only a clock and the clock's mechanical device, and a huge bell that would ring when the time arrived.

He walked towards the clock face standing on the wall, and stopped immediately when he saw the pattern behind the clock.

He looked outside the clock tower. This was just an ordinary clock, with the hour hand, minute hand, and second hand constantly rotating around the twenty-four numbers.

Most of the clocks in this world are designed according to the twenty-four hours, and he didn't care at first. There was not much difference between using twelve hours or twenty-four hours.

But behind the clock, a picture covered the clock, and there were twenty-four patterns on the picture, corresponding to twenty-four hours respectively.

These patterns are almost the same as the Sichen that Su Lun saw. Each hour represents a Sichen, but there is nothing in the last hour, as if there is a missing position.

Su Lun immediately understood the meaning of Sichen. These Sichen control different times, and Sichen is also the most important god controlling the world.

That is why the clock in this place is so accurate, and the time of each Sichen is carefully divided.

Su Lun then came to the striking bell connected to the clock. The striking bell is a huge bell with a hollow center. There is a huge wooden stake next to it. Every hour, the wooden stake will hit the bell and make a loud sound.

There is nothing special about the striking bell, but the striking bell and the clock next to it have a special function.

This kind of clock tower can be said to be the coordinates of the city, and is also responsible for clarifying the time of each Sichen.

If Sichen has its own time, then once the time is wrong, it will be very dangerous.

Su Lun now knows where the strange feeling in his heart comes from. The bell here is both an urging and a reminder. Every disciple in the inner world must master the Sichen represented by each time. If the time is wrong, those invisible techniques may be ineffective.

Su Lun has not yet obtained the invisible technique that requires a specific time to use, but this clock tower allows him to remember the time represented by Si Chen, which may be useful in the future.

He searched the top of the clock tower again, and there was nothing but fog, and he didn't even see the shadow of the inner world, so he had to choose to return.

The person who built this clock tower must know the inner world and Si Chen very well, but the builder and designer of this clock tower have disappeared, otherwise they could come to communicate.

Su Lun left the clock tower using the original method. Because of the previous incident, the school strengthened patrols, and there were people guarding here even at night.

He had to wait for the patrol to leave, and he didn't want to attract other people's attention again.

Su Lun returned along the road. The lights on the roadside were very dim and kept flickering, and there was no one on the road.

It was very quiet at night, with only some small insects making faint insect sounds, but Su Lun soon frowned, and his ears heard some strange sounds.

It was a chewing sound, some kind of creature was chewing and swallowing food in big mouthfuls. According to the sound, it might be a huge monster.

Su Lun immediately became interested. After exploring the clock tower, he basically lost his goal. He needed to find all kinds of monsters and lunatics in the other world to obtain rituals. He had to investigate all the weird things. Now that he heard the sound of the monster, he must go and take a look.

If you want to do it, do it. Su Lun immediately held his breath and walked towards the place where the sound came from. His movements were very careful to avoid alerting the enemy.

The place where the sound came from was inside the building on the other side of the road. The lights were not on in the building, but the decorations outside the building indicated that someone lived in this building.

The sound came from the second floor. Vines grew on Su Lun's body and climbed up to the second floor.

He slowly approached the window and used the weak moonlight to see the situation inside the second floor.

It was a standing beast, its body was like a mixture of many creatures, its head was as ferocious as a wolf, its sharp teeth in its mouth were very sharp, and its claws were covered with hooks.

This was a bedroom, and the humanoid beast was lying on the bed gnawing on something. With the chewing sound of flesh and bones, Su Lun knew what the other party was doing without thinking.

Su Lun rushed over without hesitation. This man-eating beast must be dealt with, otherwise it is very likely that he will be in danger.

The vines on his body turned into thorns, and there were a lot of thorns, covering from all directions, and there were many sleeping charms hanging on these thorns.

Although his vines and thorns are powerful, they may not be able to control the opponent. With the sleeping charm, the chance of success will be greater. Once a sleeping charm takes effect, the opponent's ability to move will be greatly reduced.

The moment Su Lun just moved, the man-eating beast immediately noticed Su Lun by the window.

The beast immediately roared, with red blood on its mouth.

The thorny vines quickly entangled the beast, but the thorns were immediately torn off by the beast, leaving deep scars all over its body, but the beast didn't care.

"What a great power!"

Su Lun was a little shocked. The beast was too fierce. It was the first time he encountered a creature that could tear off his vines.

It was harmless for him to break some vines, and the other party obviously didn't know his intentions. There were already several sleeping talismans on the beast's body.

The man-eating beast was about to eat Su Lun, but he immediately found something wrong, quickly tore off the sleeping talisman on his body, and fled at a very fast speed.

The sleeping talisman only took effect for a short period of time, but it was still noticed by the beast, and now the beast chose to escape.

Su Lun found that he had underestimated the other party. The other party was not only very strong and fast, but also intelligent, otherwise he would not have discovered the influence of the sleeping talisman so quickly.

He immediately chased after him, and saw the corpse lying on the bed from the corner of his eye. The corpse was no longer human-like, and the whole body was hollowed out, leaving only a shell.

He was powerless to do anything about it, so he had to focus on hunting the monster.

The monster crawled on all fours and moved between the buildings at a very fast speed, but Su Lun was not satisfied with the speed.

Su Lun grew vines and used them to swing forward. His speed was not much slower than the other party's running on all fours, and sometimes he was even faster than the other party.

The beast obviously knew that it could not escape directly, and suddenly disappeared after turning a corner, as if it had never appeared, and there was no trace around.

Su Lun frowned and came to the place where the beast disappeared. He clearly saw that the beast finally landed here, but disappeared in the blink of an eye.

He could guarantee that the other party had not left here and must be hiding somewhere, but he could not find the other party because the other party did not leave any clues.

Su Lun lay on the wall of the building and checked the situation in every window. There were sleeping people inside. No one knew that there was another monster here just now, and he did not find any trace of the monster in these rooms.

"The other party is just a beast, and it should not have the ability of space spells. The other party must still be here."

Su Lun thought to himself. After checking it once, he pretended to be dejected and turned away.

After he left for a distance, he also hid himself. The position where he hid happened to be able to see the previous position. He did this to deceive the other party and make the other party think that he had left.

He waited quietly on the side. As long as the other party was still here, he would definitely come out.

After a long time, Su Lun still did not see any signs of coming out. There was not even a swaying shadow in the dark night.

Su Lun continued to wait for a while. In the end, he could only sigh and turn away. It seemed that the other party was indeed not here.

He felt very strange. It was impossible for the other party to escape under his nose, and disappeared without a trace.

If the other party was still hiding there, the other party must have some special hiding skills.

Although Su Lun left, he did not give up the investigation. He would thoroughly investigate this monster.

Because this is a man-eating monster, if the other party is not eliminated, it is likely to be in danger. At that time, people will panic and cause the inner world to spread further.

And that monster is very strange. It looks like an irrational beast, but it also seems to have wisdom.

Su Lun saw the rationality of humans and the madness of believers in that monster. The other party is a product of a mixture of two things, and it is very likely to be a believer of Si Chen.

But now that we have lost the clues, we can only wait for clues to continue investigating.

Su Lun returned home, and he spent the next few days investigating the monster, but there were no clues.

Until a piece of news caught his attention.

A news report was being broadcast on TV, and on the TV was a blurred corpse. The corpse looked miserable, and the whole body was hollowed out, leaving only a shell and flesh, exactly the same as the monster he had encountered before.

"Insert a piece of news. Recently, there are rumors in the city that there are cannibals. Cannibals feed on human organs. At present, many citizens have been killed. Please pay attention to prevention."

The news kept repeating the previous sentences, and the TV showed the location of the dead. There was no connection between these dead people, and the cannibals had no specific prey targets.

Su Lun knew very well that this cannibal was the beast he had discovered before.

Just as Su Lun was thinking, a siren sounded outside, and a police convoy was heading somewhere.

There were four or five police cars in the convoy, and only a very big event would cause so many police cars to be dispatched.

Su Lun thought about it and chose to follow. He couldn't find any clues here, so he might get some information by following.

He followed the police car in a car, and the police car stopped not long after he followed.

The police convoy stopped in front of a park, which had been blocked. Many doctors were carrying stretchers to transport the bodies out of the park.

Although Su Lun didn't see the specific situation of these bodies, he could guess from the frightened faces of the people around him that it was the ogre who was killing people again.

Unlike the previous one by one, this time it was obvious that many people were killed, otherwise the entire park would not be blocked.

The people around were very scared, and everyone was worried that they would be the next person to die.

Su Lun kept observing the surroundings, and a man with his head down caught his attention.

It was Zhou Qing. He had met him once before at school. If he remembered correctly, this person claimed that he had superpowers. Although he never mentioned it again later, the other party did say this.

If Zhou Qing was bragging, it certainly didn't matter. If what Zhou Qing said was true, then the so-called superpower should be the invisible technique or some kind of ritual, and the other party is likely to be a member of the inner world.

But the strange thing is why the other party appeared here.

The body was quickly moved away, and the park was cleaned up and reopened, but few people dared to go in.

Zhou Qing was also planning to leave, and Su Lun came over at this time.

"Hey, do you know what happened in the park just now?"

Su Lun asked directly, he just wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Zhou Qing and take a closer look at whether this person named Zhou Qing was from the inner world.

Zhou Qing looked at Su Lun with a cold face, and he whispered: "I don't know."

He became more and more taciturn, and he didn't want to talk most of the time.

He turned around and left after he finished speaking, not caring that Su Lun was next to him.

Su Lun didn't plan to ask any more questions. Just as he was about to leave, he saw a lot of red blood on Zhou Qing's body.

The blood was distributed on the other party's trouser legs. Although it was only a little splash, it could still be seen.

If animal blood is excluded, then the blood on Zhou Qing's trouser legs is likely to come from the dead bodies just now.

It was impossible to enter the park just now, so Zhou Qing had no contact with these dead bodies at all.
