Chapter 455 Then take him down! (Please subscribe)

Is someone investigating me?

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window on the fifth floor, Mu Sheng gazed at the car driving out of the manor gate, lost in thought.

Who could it be?

Mu Sheng recalled who he had offended or whose interests he had violated.

"Hmm, that seems like quite a lot."

'They shouldn't be from Dachang City!'

Mu Sheng shook his head. Despite the huge commotion he caused in Dachang City, which could be described as offending people from all walks of life, Mu Sheng was still a hero.

But most people don't even know he exists, let alone go to headquarters to investigate him.

They don't have that capability.

That's probably the paranormal world.

'Those few escapees from the Xiaoqiang Club have long since disappeared, and they don't have the power to do it anyway.'

'Is that Gao Zhiqiang?'

Mu Sheng roughly guessed who was investigating him.

Then, and then no more.

There are three major forces in the supernatural circles of the Great Dragon Kingdom.

It represents the headquarters of state power, the circle of friends of capital power, and the paranormal forum representing civil society power.

Gao Zhiqiang, who was killed by Mu Sheng, was a member of the WeChat group.

The most powerful attack method on social media is that supernatural item called "ghost scissors." It can inflict the same damage on a target by cropping their photo.

In the original novel, Yang Jian's head was cut off, and he almost died from the attack of the Ghost Scissors.

However, while this move is dangerous for other ghost tamers, it's useless for Mu Sheng.

The Wish Ghost's powerful supernatural attack nearly shattered Mu Sheng along with the Golden Ghost Prison, yet it still failed to kill him.

Fang Shiming's ghost scissors are even less likely.

It's just a haircut, right? Let him cut it!

Mu Sheng had no interest in an enemy who couldn't inflict any real damage on him.

After standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window for a while, Mu Sheng went downstairs to go for a swim and cool off.

The poolside in the backyard.

Just as Mu Sheng took off his short-sleeved shirt and was about to go into the water, he saw Qin Meirou walking over with two cups of cold drinks.

"what?"

Mu Sheng asked in surprise, "Why are you still here? Did Old Zhao and the others leave you behind?"

"The car hasn't gone far. If you run fast, you should be able to catch it!"

Qin Meirou's expression froze instantly.

He started mentally ranting and raving.

How did I get here?

'You don't even pay attention to such a beautiful woman?'

"Run faster and you can catch me! Show me!"

Qin Meirou was furious. If she hadn't read Mu Sheng's information and known that he often went out at night to study foreign languages, she would have been furious.

Qin Meirou even began to suspect that Mu Sheng might have some kind of perverted fetish.

After all, a large forest has all kinds of birds, so it's normal for a few strange species to appear.

For example, some people like to take the right path, while others insist on taking the wrong path.

'Could this guy have ruined his health and become a psychopath too?'

Qin Meirou thought to herself, and her mood inexplicably improved a lot.

Fortunately, Mu Sheng didn't know what Qin Meirou was thinking, otherwise he would have definitely pinned her down by the pool and given her a good beating.

"Mr. Mu, you're so funny."

Qin Meirou smiled sweetly, swaying her hips as she stepped forward and handed Mu Sheng a glass of cold drink.

"Even if they run themselves ragged, they still can't catch up with the car!"

As Qin Meirou spoke, she naturally took Mu Sheng's arm and rubbed against him subtly.

Mu Sheng remained unmoved, picked up his cold drink, took a sip, glanced at her, and said indifferently, "What? Is Old Zhao asking you to use your beauty to seduce me?"

As he spoke, he looked Qin Meirou up and down, as if he were selecting goods in a shopping mall.

"Not bad, one of my types."

Mu Sheng has an extremely broad mind, regardless of whether it is a loli or an older sister, A, B, C, D, E, mature or naive, pure or seductive, or from ancient or modern times, China or abroad.

He treats all beautiful women the same!
As a successor of the new era, Mu Sheng hates discrimination the most.

Mu Sheng's unbridled gaze and condescending attitude immediately made Qin Meirou feel humiliated.

Although she had long been prepared to sacrifice her virginity in order to fight against the supernatural.

But faced with Mu Sheng's blunt attitude, I still felt somewhat indignant.

What do you, Musheng, have to be proud of?
So what do you have besides being a little better looking, a little richer, and a little more powerful?

Mu Sheng sensed Qin Meirou's emotions and hooked her chin, asking, "What's wrong? Are you angry?"

Qin Meirou turned her head away, her face stubborn.

Hey, you're putting on airs now.

If this were his girlfriend from before he time-traveled, Mu Sheng would have already started to coax her.

But now, Mu Sheng raised his hand and slapped her across the face.

"Snapped!"

The crisp sound of the slap stunned Qin Meirou.

"What right do you have to hit me!"

Qin Meirou covered her flushed cheeks, tears welling up in her eyes from grievance.

"Why can't I hit you? Do you even know why you're here, huh?"

Mu Sheng looked even angrier than Qin Meirou, and said with exasperation, "Old Zhao left you here so that you could use your beauty to seduce me and gain some benefits from me."

"For example, those magical artifacts we just traded, or if headquarters needs my help when needed."

"And you? What are you doing? Giving me attitude and getting angry, what right do you have to give me attitude?"

"You're here to work, not to date!"

"Tell me, should I hit you or not?"

Mu Sheng's barrage of attacks made Qin Meirou's already somewhat dazed mind even more confused.

"Should we fight?"

Qin Mei said softly, "Although I feel like something's not quite right, what Mu Sheng said does seem to make sense."

Before Zhao Jianguo left, he did instruct her to win over Mu Sheng and, at the very least, to extract more magical artifacts from him.

For Interpol officers fighting on the front lines of the paranormal, Mu Sheng's magical artifacts are more useful than the ghost candles at headquarters.

Ghost candles can only passively defend against attacks from vengeful ghosts, while Bagua artifacts can isolate the holder in a ghostly realm and even summon a trace of the power of tattooed ghosts to counterattack.

Each additional magical artifact could potentially save an Interpol agent who would otherwise have been killed in a paranormal event.

Thinking about it this way, Qin Meirou's aura weakened even more.

I really shouldn't have given Mu Sheng the cold shoulder.

"Do you know you were wrong?" Mu Sheng continued to scold.

"understood."

Qin Meirou lowered her head and answered in a soft, sweet voice.

"So what should you do now?"

Qin Meirou slightly raised her head, glanced at Mu Sheng with her eyes raised, and then hugged his arm to apologize:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Mu, I was wrong. I shouldn't have given you such a hard time. It's all my fault. Please forgive me."

"If apologies were enough, what would we need the police for?" Mu Sheng said coldly, unmoved.

Qin Meirou panicked immediately. The thought that she had caused the deaths of Interpol agents who shouldn't have had to sacrifice themselves filled her with a sense of guilt. It was as if she had caused their deaths.

"Mr. Mu, what can I do to earn your forgiveness?"

Qin Meirou, her eyes red, pleaded pitifully.

Mu Sheng glanced at her indifferently and said, "I'm very angry right now!"

'Are you easily angered?'

'You slapped me, and you're getting all angry?'

Qin Meirou felt very wronged, but she knew that she was under someone else's roof and had no choice but to bow her head.

Then Qin Meirou discovered the reason why Mu Sheng was so irritable.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Qin Meirou finally bent her knees. She had to take responsibility for her mistake.

"Go for it, Qin Meirou! You can do it!"

Qin Meirou tried her best while encouraging herself.

The thought that my sacrifice could enable more Interpol agents to survive in the fight against paranormal events made me very happy.

A resolute look appeared on Qin Meirou's face, and her whole being radiated a holy light of morality.

Ah! It's so bright!
Mu Sheng narrowed his eyes, suddenly feeling as if he was being crushed in terms of morality.

'Isn't it wrong to bully people like this?'

'Oh, so I'm not a good person after all. Never mind then!'

The slight shame that had just risen in Mu Sheng's heart vanished instantly.

"Don't be too rigid; learn to use gentle, yielding strength!"

"Yes, that's it! No wonder you're an elite from headquarters, you learn so fast!"

Mu Sheng was very satisfied with Qin Meirou's progress and praised her endlessly.

after an hour,

"I can't go on anymore, I'm completely exhausted, and my legs are numb from squatting."

Qin Meirou's ankle went sore and she collapsed to the ground.

She felt her face go numb, and even became somewhat self-destructive, feeling that she could not make up for her mistake.

This is too difficult!
Are all demon tamers so inhuman?
"Tsk!"

Mu Sheng clicked his tongue and said, "That's a pity. I was thinking that after you helped me calm down, I would submit an extra magic artifact to headquarters next month."

"Since you can't do it anymore, then let's just give up!"

"Anyway, a magical artifact won't do much good. At most, it will only save a detective and solve one more supernatural case."

Upon hearing Mu Sheng's words, Qin Meirou, who had been somewhat resigned to her fate, immediately hesitated again.

That's a magical artifact!

A more valuable supernatural item than the ghost candle at headquarters.

"How about we go to the room, and I'll help you then?" Qin Meirou suggested in a low voice.

"No, I prefer to be outside. It's too hot inside."

Mu Sheng immediately refused.

"It's hot! It's not like we don't have air conditioning."

Qin Meirou knew this was just an excuse, but what could she do?

All they could do was push Mu Sheng down in a chair and begin a further step in his atonement.

To Mu Sheng's surprise, he discovered that a drowning ghost was imprisoned inside Qin Meirou's body, which temporarily suppressed Mu Sheng's out-of-control supernatural abilities.

Unfortunately, Mu Sheng's supernatural abilities were also extraordinary; he was a fire demon born from the body of a ghost or god.

Its power is comparable to that of a B-rank demon.

A fierce battle broke out by the pool in the backyard.

The supernatural powers of the drowning ghost and the fire ghost corroded each other, and the surging power caused ripples to appear on the surface of the pool.

The eerie power of the fire ghost seeped into Qin Meirou's body, and the burning of the ghost fire caused her unbearable pain.

Meanwhile, the supernatural power of the drowning ghost is constantly damaging Mu Sheng's ghostly body.

Finally, Qin Meirou completed her journey of redemption through her indomitable will.

"I...I won," Qin Meirou said weakly.

"Yes, you won!" Mu Sheng nodded in approval.

"A magical artifact!"

"Don't worry, I'll give you an extra magical artifact when you submit it to headquarters next month. This is something you earned through your hard work."

After giving Qin Meirou the answer she wanted, Mu Sheng stood up and left.

Yes, he is that ruthless!

Qin Meirou was not dissatisfied with this. Instead, she looked up at the sky with pride and then fell into a deep sleep.

Top floor of Ping An Building, Dajing City.

In the lounge, a young man dressed casually, with a somewhat lazy demeanor, was leaning back on the sofa, dozing off with his eyes closed.

This person is none other than Fang Shiming, the top figure in the circle of friends.

"President Fang, based on our investigation and analysis, the golden light that Gu Miaojun mentioned is very likely the Ghost King Mu Sheng's Ghost Domain."

Jiang Shangbai, one of Fang Shiming's trusted subordinates, held a document in his hand and reported his investigation results.

"Ghost King. What an arrogant codename!"

Fang Shiming slowly opened his eyes and sat up.

"This title was proposed by Professor Wang after it was confirmed that Mu Sheng was the murderer who destroyed Xiaoqiang Club."

Jiang Shangbai's tone was somewhat sarcastic, showing great disdain for Wang Xiaoming's indecisive approach.

He couldn't use the headquarters' resources to seek revenge in order to uphold his supposed morality, yet he couldn't completely let go of this hatred.

The result was this huge mess.

"Don't underestimate Wang Xiaoming. There must be a reason why he gave Mu Sheng the title of Ghost King."

Fang Shiming never underestimated his enemies.

In the supernatural world, being careless when facing an enemy is irresponsible towards one's own life.

"What Mr. Fang means is..."

Information about Mu Sheng kept swirling in Jiang Shangbai's mind: "Is the title of Ghost King related to Mu Sheng's abilities?"

"Ghost King, Ghost King, could it be some kind of supernatural being that commands multiple ghosts? Wouldn't that mean it could easily control numerous ghosts? How is that possible?"

Jiang Shangbai couldn't believe that someone could wield such terrifying supernatural power.

"If even something as superstitious as ghosts has appeared, what else is impossible?"

Unlike Jiang Shangbai's surprise and doubt, Fang Shiming's face did not show any emotion.

Even if Mu Sheng truly possessed such supernatural abilities, Fang Shiming had the confidence to face it calmly.

"Send someone to confirm whether Mu Sheng killed Gao Zhiqiang or not, and take Gu Miaojun with him."

"If he killed him, invite him to join our circle of friends and take Gao Zhiqiang's place."

Fang Shiming made a decision quickly.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to take care of it right away!" Jiang Shangbai searched his mind for a suitable candidate.

Before leaving, something else occurred to him: "What if he doesn't agree?"

"Disagree? Then get rid of him!"

Fang Shiming coldly said, "If you kill someone in your circle of friends and then don't accept his good intentions, then that person is an enemy of your circle of friends."

Of course, we should nip potential enemies in the bud as soon as possible!

"I understand!"

Jiang Shangbai nodded, turned around and left the lounge.
