The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 402: The Demon Child Murder Case, the Horrifying Truth
The deepest part of Jizhou Prison.

Ji Zhen woke up from a coma, feeling dazed and in a very bad state. It seemed that he had even forgotten who he was, and it took him a long time to remember.

He asked for marriage for the emperor but was coldly received. Zhang Jiuyang and Yue Ling teamed up to defeat him...

A huge feeling of shame came over him. He was a real person in the sixth realm, the famous Black Water Immortal of Daqian, but he was defeated by two juniors and captured alive?
I moved my body, but heard the sound of heavy chains.

Imprisoned!

Does the Yue family really want to rebel?

What frightened him even more was that he could not sense much of the once powerful magic power in his body at this moment, and only a few traces of demonic power were left.

Wait, demonic power?
He opened his mouth to shout, but when his throat moved, what came out was a low, powerful tiger roar.

"Zhang Jiuyang! Yue Ling!!"

He shouted loudly, but what echoed in the prison was only the roar of a tiger, which made the surrounding walls tremble slightly and dust fell continuously.

……

On the other side, the two-faced Buddha imprisoned in the pool suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes, and a hint of shock flashed in his pupils.

This howling sound, and the breath...

Looks like a tiger?
How is it possible that even the mountain lion was captured by Zhang Jiuyang?
Didn't that Yangshen Taoist of the Eighth Realm break into the Pure Land of Mahakala Buddha? Without his help, how could Zhang Jiuyang catch the mountain king?
You know, in Tongtian Mountains, the mountain king can even fight against the Seven Realms!
For a moment, the Two-Faced Buddha was in a mess. He didn't want to admit it, but after listening carefully for a while, he had to admit that the person imprisoned in the cell next door should be Shan Jun.

It’s a pity that he has lost all his magical powers now and can’t even transmit his voice.

He thought about it over and over again, but still couldn't understand how Zhang Jiuyang caught the tiger, but his fear of Zhang Jiuyang deepened.

Even the young man who had been ignored by him now seemed a little unfathomable.

After an unknown amount of time, the tiger's roar had become weaker, as if the tiger was enduring some kind of inhuman torture and was gradually becoming exhausted and short of breath.

At this moment, the door of the sky prison opened, and a ray of light finally came through the dark dungeon.

wow~
The two-faced Buddha was lifted up again and tied to the iron wood. His body was still covered with scars, and there was almost no good spot to be seen.

That pool of water was specially made for him, to prevent his wounds from healing and to make him endure the torture every moment.

This is also a drain on the spirit of the two-faced Buddha.

Now, he looked paler and his injuries were more serious than the last time he was interrogated, but his eyes were still sharp and firm, without a trace of compromise or fear.

The two-faced Buddha looked at Zhang Jiuyang and Yue Ling, sneered, and said, "Why, you haven't given up yet?"

"Zhang Jiuyang, is this all you have? I am so disappointed."

"I can feel that the man surnamed Meng is already dead. Haha, that loser would actually die for a few words from others. How ridiculous!"

"Zhang Jiuyang, do you think I'm the same as that Meng guy, a loser who can be bewitched by you?"

He even had the energy to taunt.

Zhang Jiuyang ignored it. He even moved a chair to sit down, crossed his legs, and said with a leisurely smile, "Not bad, you are still full of energy, worthy of being a two-faced Buddha. Then I won't worry. I was afraid that you were too badly injured, and even if I wanted to confess something, I would be powerless."

The two-faced Buddha sneered again and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Zhang Jiuyang.

"Did you hear Shanjun's voice?"

The two-faced Buddha was startled.

"He's right next to you. He was just captured. The mountain tiger's brain is much worse than yours, so it's easier to catch him."

"Two-Faced Buddha, I won't beat around the bush with you."

Zhang Jiuyang smiled faintly and said, "Only one of you and Shanjun can survive. Whoever confesses first will survive."

"Guess how long the mountain king can endure this?"

The Two-Faced Buddha's heart trembled. He stared at Zhang Jiuyang, and then suddenly laughed.

"Boy, your tricks of playing with people's hearts are just what I have left. No matter if the one in the cell next door is a mountain lion or not, I will not be fooled."

"Because even if I die, I will never compromise with the Imperial Observatory!"

He hated the Imperial Observatory so much. These people talked about love, benevolence, righteousness and morality, but where were they when he and his sister were abused and humiliated?
Instead, when he was about to take revenge, those people jumped out to stop him.

Zhang Jiuyang suddenly sighed and said, "Two-Faced Buddha, you always think that it is this world that killed your sister, but have you ever thought about this..."

Zhang Jiuyang said meaningfully: "The world you see is what others want you to see."

The two-faced Buddha was startled and frowned, "Zhang Jiuyang, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Don't you understand? It's really sad."

Zhang Jiuyang shook his head and said, "The reason why the kite feels that it is free is because its string has not been cut. Two-Faced Buddha, you should actually thank me. Although you are in a cage at this moment, you are freer than ever before."

The two-faced Buddha sneered and said, "Zhang Jiuyang, I think you have gone astray. If you really have no other tricks, why not kneel down and kowtow a few times? Maybe I, the Buddha, will be in a good mood and can tell you something."

When Yue Ling heard him insulting Zhang Jiuyang, his expression suddenly became stern, and the Overlord Spear in his hand instantly pierced his thigh, and blood flowed out.

The two-faced Buddha laughed wildly.

Zhang Jiuyang patted Yue Ling's hand, then smiled and said, "Now that things have come to this, let's not hide it from him anymore. Ling'er, take out that thing."

Yue Ling put away his gun, snorted coldly, and then took out a yellowed file from his arms.

The file looked old, yellowed and old, with a faint smell of mold.

Looking at the expressions of the two people, the two-faced Buddha frowned slightly, and for some reason, a sense of foreboding began to arise in his heart.

"Two-Faced Buddha, this is a file from 102 years ago. The person in charge of this case is called Ye Zuzhi, Sichen of the Imperial Observatory. You should have some impression of this name."

Hearing this name, the two-faced Buddha was startled.

That unforgettable memory came to his mind again. He was of course familiar with the name Ye Zuzhi. It was Si Chen from the Imperial Observatory who had stopped him from killing people many times and even seriously injured him.

That hypocritical guy said he would help him get justice, but he was just an accomplice.

Later, when the two-faced Buddha had achieved success in his practice and wanted to seek revenge, he learned that he had died. At that time, he felt sorry for letting him die too easily. "Ye Sichen committed suicide. After he finished your case, he hanged himself and left only this file."

After a pause, Zhang Jiuyang sighed softly.

"Two-Faced Buddha, Mr. Meng once told me the story of a pair of conjoined siblings, but now I want you to listen to another story recorded by Ye Sichen in the file."

The two-faced Buddha was stunned, but a sneer appeared on his face. He wanted to see what tricks Zhang Jiuyang could play.

Zhang Jiuyang didn't care and started reading the file.

"In the winter of the twenty-first year of Longde, I was ordered to take over a case called the Conjoined Demon Child Murder Case. At first, I didn't pay much attention to it because according to the preliminary investigation, the so-called demon child was actually a pitiful person."

"The brother and sister were originally orphans from the Great Love and Charity Bureau, but for some reason they suddenly went crazy and killed many people. I think there must be a hidden story behind this. If possible, I am willing to adopt them."

"hypocritical!"

The two-faced Buddha sneered, "Zhang Jiuyang, you don't really think I'm that Meng, do you? Do you think you can influence me with your so-called love?"

Zhang Jiuyang ignored it and continued reading.

"I came to that county town, and the local people told me that the demon boy was killing more and more people. After he crawled out of the wolf-catching pit, he became more extreme and violent. Some people even started to blame the old dean who has passed away."

"The old dean was a well-respected local man who helped countless orphans throughout his life, but he froze to death in the snow. I feel there must be some hidden story behind this."

"Is the old dean really as morally upright as he appears to be? It's not that I have a mean heart, but in my career of investigating cases, I have seen too many hypocritical faces. The human heart is sometimes scarier than the devil."

"So I started to quietly investigate the old dean."

When Zhang Jiuyang read this, the two-faced Buddha no longer made sarcastic remarks. Although his expression did not change, he was much calmer than before.

I have gradually begun to be attracted by the contents of the files.

Moreover, the content of this file seemed to conflict with some memories in his mind. He remembered that Ye Zuzhi back then was full of righteousness and morality, and he was always righteous and awe-inspiring.

They also described his act of destroying the old dean's body as a heinous crime of treason.

"After investigation, I discovered a shocking truth, a horrifying truth."

Hearing this, the two-faced Buddha suddenly sneered and said, "Even if he discovered the hypocritical face of the old dean, what can he do? He didn't say anything back then!"

Zhang Jiuyang looked at him with eyes full of pity, then took a deep breath and slowly uttered a few words.

"This case was wrong from the beginning. There is no such thing as a conjoined demon child."

"That so-called conjoined twin brother had been talking to the air on his back when he was picked up by the old dean."

"Yes, the so-called conjoined siblings, there was only one person from the beginning to the end, the sister, who was a figment of his imagination."

Boom!

When Zhang Jiuyang said this, the temperature in the entire prison seemed to drop a lot in an instant. The two-faced Buddha's pupils condensed and even his breathing almost froze.

An inexplicable chill spread.

After a long time, the two-faced Buddha suddenly burst into laughter, almost laughing to tears.

"Zhang Jiuyang, you are really good at making up stories. Hahaha, do you really think I will believe such ridiculous remarks?"

"My sister's body is inside my body. How could I not know whether she exists or not?"

Zhang Jiuyang waited until he got tired of laughing and calmed down before continuing to read the file.

"I visited many people who had contact with the demon boy, and they told me that the demon boy had very serious mental problems. He always liked to talk to himself, saying that he had a sister on his back, but they couldn't see it."

"They wanted to tell him the truth at first, but the demon boy would become very violent and even attack people randomly after hearing it. The old dean said that since he wanted to have a sister, we should cooperate with him and not break this window paper."

"So in the Salesian Bureau, they all pretended to see his sister. The news spread like wildfire, and eventually it was rumored that they had adopted a pair of conjoined twins. The villagers were talking about it, and the old director didn't clarify it in order not to upset him."

"But even so, Mo Tong's mental condition is getting worse and worse. Everyone there is very kind to him, but he keeps imagining that he is being bullied and abused, and even imagines that his sister is being cut off..."

"There was a man named Guo Xingsong who couldn't stand it anymore. He was actually the person who took the best care of Mo Tong in the Charity Bureau and was a big brother that everyone liked. Guo Xingsong didn't want to see Mo Tong suffer so much, so he told him the truth. As a result..."

"Guo Xingsong's throat was bitten by him and he almost died. From then on, he even had difficulty talking and drinking water."

"After this incident, many people had opinions about the demon boy and thought he was hopeless. Only the old dean insisted on raising the demon boy."

"The old dean was not in good health at the time, but he still dragged his sick body and lived alone in a small courtyard with the demon boy. He told him that he had punished those who bullied him and his sister."

"Perhaps because he felt the love of the old dean, the demon boy was very well behaved during that period and did not cause any trouble."

"But the old dean's health was deteriorating. He knew that his time was coming. His last wish before he died was to cure the demon boy, because he knew that once he died, no one else would be willing to raise him."

"So the old dean spent his life savings to invite a miracle doctor to cure the demon boy's mental illness. But unfortunately, during the treatment, the demon boy suddenly attacked and killed people. The old dean fainted from anger."

"Later, the demon boy was captured by soldiers. The county magistrate was about to order his men to beat him to death, but the old dean guaranteed it with his own life and even took out the deed of the charity bureau to bribe the county magistrate. That’s why the demon boy was not beaten to death on the spot, but was locked up in a wolf-catching pit instead."

"In fact, the old dean had already arranged for someone to rescue him, but the snow in Jizhou always comes suddenly. The county magistrate got the land deed and immediately drove the old dean and the orphans out, wanting to sell it to someone to build a casino."

"The poor old dean did good deeds all his life, but in the end he and the children he picked up froze to death at the gate of the Orphanage, and his body was even destroyed by that devil child."

"After finding out the truth of the matter, I put the county magistrate in death row, buried the bodies of the old dean and those children, and started hunting down the demon child."

"I fought him several times and indeed saw that the demon boy did not have a sister on his back. I tried to communicate with him and tell him the truth, but in the demon boy's ears, I seemed to be saying something else, which only made him more angry."

"The demon boy has a sturdy figure and sharp teeth like a wild beast, but he has never practiced martial arts. I have injured him several times, but it seems that there is a mysterious power protecting him, allowing him to escape."

"In the end, I completely lost track of him, and the Demon Child Murder Case had to be hastily ended."

“But I can’t get out.”

"I began to dream about the case of the demon child, the old dean covered in blood, the miracle doctor whose throat was bitten off, and the villagers who died tragically..."

"I don't know what's wrong with me. I've taken on cases that were even more tragic than the Devil Child case, but I was always able to stay optimistic. But this time, I feel myself becoming more and more pessimistic and exhausted."

"I tried many methods but nothing worked. It felt like the devil was whispering in my ear, making it impossible for me to get out of this case. In the end, I chose to commit suicide."

"Perhaps, there is something behind the Devil Child case that I haven't found out yet..."
