Chapter 2946 When Night Falls (38)

Chapter 2920 When Night Falls (Thirty-Eight)

For example, in Central City, the crime rate is indeed not high, and the public security situation is ranked among the best in the United States, but the premise is that missing cases cannot be counted, or the missing people cannot be easily classified as deaths due to crimes, otherwise the crime rate will rise suddenly.

Immigrant communities are the hardest hit areas for missing cases, just like the community where Schiller and Constantine are now. There are few police forces here, no one pays attention, most people live in rented houses, the population is highly mobile, and there are many people engaged in criminal business who move from place to place after shooting. No one will be surprised if someone in a house suddenly disappears.

This is the natural hunting ground for serial killers.

Not everyone has the ability to satisfy their own perverted habits while facing the police's massive search. Most people can only do one of these things well, so naturally there will be many serial killers who are unwilling to deal with the police and come to such a city.

Or, they are forced to come to such a city by their peers who are both virtuous and artistic.

After all, there are many people in this world who can compete with Batman in wits and courage while completing artistic creation. If you can't steal the limelight from such people, of course you can only retreat to third-tier cities to make a living.

Schiller walked around the community twice and set his sights on a house. The residents of this house should have killed a lot of people, but they should not be the kind of killers who kill only to satisfy spiritual desires. It seems that they are doing some blood or organ business.

Schiller is not very willing to kill an organ dealer, but it is still a bit difficult to find an artist in such a city. He can only see if this guy can give him a little surprise.

Schiller did not climb over the wall. There is a sewer opening at the bottom of the wall where he is. From the worn part of the rust, it can be observed that the railings above the sewer opening are often opened.

And there are some human tissues left on the edge, not a lot, but very fresh. Someone dumps something here about every two days, which should be minced meat.

Judging from the deterioration of these tissues, today should be the day when that person comes to dump garbage.

He was very bold and reckless, probably because there really weren't any decent superheroes in this city. The Flash wasn't as comprehensive as Superman, and wasn't as careful. He ran too fast, and it was almost impossible for him to pay attention to a remote community. If there was any tissue in the sewer at the end, there was no need to dump the body far away.

Schiller waited for a while until the sun set and the temperature began to drop, and finally a man with a bucket turned the corner.

He was knocked down before he could see anything clearly, and then he was knocked unconscious. Schiller helped him pour the contents of the bucket into the sewer, and found the key to the house on him. Sure enough, he was the resident of this house.

Schiller dragged the man into the house, but he knew that if this man died in his house, no one would find out until the rotting smelled huge. Even if the temperature was quite high now, it would take a few days, and Schiller couldn't wait that long.

He walked around the house and found, as expected, that there was a basement. The key to the basement was also hanging on the keychain. Schiller opened the door without much effort.

However, this man did give Schiller a surprise. He was not an organ dealer, but an organ collector.

This man may have some medical background and is fascinated by human internal organs, so he opened an internal organ museum in the basement of his house. The entire basement, except for the work area, was filled with densely packed shelves, which were filled with organs soaked in solution. It was roughly estimated that there were hundreds of people.

Schiller looked at the label. This man has been doing this for nearly 30 years. Because he is not picky about food and has no special preferences, he has never been discovered because he kills randomly.

Schiller went to the work area to take a look. The method of throwing the body was simple. The useful parts were left, the useless parts were broken, and the hair and bones and other difficult parts were dissolved with chemicals and poured into the sewer.

That is to say, the level of law enforcement in Central City is not high, so it has not been discovered for so many years. But in fact, for ordinary people with low ability, this relatively simple method of disposing corpses is the lowest risk. The fancy method is too easy to fail.

Schiller thought about it and felt that a case involving hundreds of people should be enough to attract the attention of the Central City police. Once the Central City police found out, they might not be able to handle the situation themselves, and they would definitely ask for help from the Flash to lead him out.

It seems that this person cannot be killed. Not only can he not be killed, but he must make some noise to let the police discover this case.

Schiller tied up the man and returned to the house where Constantine caught the thief. It seems that he has solved the problem and got the wallet back.

Seeing Schiller coming over, Constantine shook the wallet in his hand and said, "It's done. I beat him up."

"Come with me." Schiller said.

When the two of them returned to the house and saw the tied man again, Constantine was still a little confused, because although this guy looked strong, there was nothing special about him. He was just an ordinary middle-aged American.

It was not until Constantine saw the spectacular scene in the basement that he began to look at this man differently. When it comes to perversion, you Americans are the best.

Schiller briefly described his plan, and Constantine thought it was okay. Of course, how to make this man make some noise would naturally rely on magic.

Constantine went up and set up a magic circle. When he untied the rope, the man rushed out like a zombie.

Not long after, the shrill sirens sounded at the edge of the community, and the curtains of most windows were pulled open a little. Many people wanted to know what happened.

Two police cars stopped in front of the man's house. The police broke in and stayed in for about ten minutes, then fled the house like a fly.

Obviously they called for backup. The second batch of police cars was not two. It seemed that the police force of the entire Central City came to this community, and various professionals got off the police cars.

What surprised Constantine and Schiller was that the police did not need to ask the Flash for help. Barry Allen was actually part of the police system.

He did not look like a policeman, but like a technician who maintained the crime scene. Schiller observed carefully and found that he should be an operator of the Physical Evidence Analysis Department.

But unfortunately, he was relatively young and did not seem to have much field experience. He was always ordered to run errands, and later even fell to setting up cordons.

But it was precisely because he was far away from the center of the vortex that Constantine found an opportunity and called him over.

Barry also knew Constantine at this time, so he was willing to come with him, but he didn't know Schiller. When he saw Constantine bringing a stranger, he immediately became alert.

Fortunately, Schiller didn't wear strange clothes and looked like a scholar rather than a super criminal. Barry hesitated for a while and stayed.

They went to the coffee shop next door to drink coffee-this is very common in the American police force. Most of the time, one or two core members are busy, and others lean against the police car to drink coffee and eat donuts.

Because Barry was not a core member, he just heard that there was a case, but he didn't know the severity. Hearing that Constantine had something important to tell him, he left the crime scene with peace of mind.

Constantine told Barry the whole story in the simplest language. Of course, this sounded a bit too incredible. After all, there was at least a month before the outbreak of the vampire incident.

"You mean, I will be bitten by a vampire in the future and become a traitor in the Justice League. Others are not sure they can deal with me, so you want me to deal with myself?"

"Listen, I know this is a bit ridiculous, but you have to believe me. You should know the special nature of the Speed ​​Force. Now the Justice League may be shrouded in your shadow."

Barry hesitated a little, but still said: "I am willing to help, but what can I do? Go to the Speed ​​Force and fight him? Or should I avoid being bitten?"

"I'm afraid it's inevitable for you to be bitten." Schiller said: "The vampire should have been eyeing you a long time ago. Unless you can hide in the Speed ​​Force forever, you will be transformed one day."

"Then is there any way to change back? "The Flash said, "I don't want to become a monster that drinks blood, and I don't want to hurt other people in the Justice League."

"Then find a way to stop yourself." Schiller said, "As long as you can hold him back, we can solve the vampire. Once we find a way to reverse the transformation, you can change back."

Barry was obviously a little worried, but he finally nodded. He looked at Schiller and said, "I know this request may be a bit excessive, but I want to see the process of me being bitten."

"Do you want to go to the future?"

"Yes, maybe we can stop it?"

Schiller also knew that once the Flash at this point in time knew that he would be transformed into a vampire in the future, the Flash would definitely want to travel through time to prevent the tragedy. He would not give up unless he was allowed to try.

But Constantine and Schiller both agreed that there is no way to prevent thieves for a thousand days. If the vampire is determined to transform the Flash, then if he is stopped once, there may be a second and third time. No one can stay there forever with them.

But Schiller did not persuade from this angle. He just said: "Vampires need a mole in the Justice League. If they find that they can't bite you, who do you think they will bite?"

Barry was stunned immediately, then he shook his head and said: "Well, it's still me. If they really bite Batman and Superman, I can't imagine what kind of disaster it will be."

"Barry, I have to tell you another bad news." Schiller said: "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I suspect that Green Lantern is in a bad situation."

Barry stood up and said: "What do you mean?! Are you saying that my future self attacked Hal?!"

"Who will you help first in the Justice League?"

"...Maybe Hal."

" Who will the evil you attack first? "

Barry was already sitting on pins and needles. He began to pace in front of the table and said, "Don't waste time. Where can I find that monster? I can't let him hurt Hal... What should I do?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, he should be guarding you when you are young, because we gave him the illusion that we would attack you when you were a baby."

Schiller gave Barry a specific plan. He said, "You find him along the speed force, and then do your best to hold him back. If you still have the strength to spare, you can look for it in the speed force. I guess Hal may have been kidnapped by him."

Barry nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely rescue Hal!"
