All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 243 Domain: Rebellious Minister
creak-

The security vehicle stopped, and Ji Ran got out.

Can you confirm the location?

Lin Chi's voice came immediately.

Ji Ran shook his head and said, "No."

He pointed to the northwest corner of the headquarters building, on the fourth or fifth floor: "What's that place?"

The direction he pointed to had many causal lines and even some residual energy that blurred Xu Cheng's cause and effect, making it impossible for him to see the final direction.

"Ok?"

Lin Chi glanced at the location Ji Ran was pointing to and said, "This should be the newly established secret service office area. Previously, the secret service members from Qing City gathered there."

It turned out to be the case.

Ji Ran recalled what Zha Hu had said before, that Xu Cheng was also a member of the secret department.

Can the related causes and effects become entangled and form a web?
"I can't pinpoint the exact location, but it's definitely within the General Administration's jurisdiction."

The headquarters is located opposite a park, a few minutes' drive away from commercial streets and residential areas, and the surrounding area is relatively open.

Although Xu Cheng's causal threads have been untangled, they have absolutely not deviated from the scope of the General Administration.

"it is good."

Lin Chi nodded and said, "Xu Cheng's human skin might be with the cultists, but it's not certain. That's why I only called one person back."

Lin Chi didn't ask Ji Ran how he knew, nor did he suspect anything. He had just witnessed Ji Ran's intentions on the cargo ship; such a person wouldn't speak without reason.

Da da da.

The man with silver-rimmed glasses walked up. His eyes were excessively dark, and although his features appeared gentle, his eyes seemed to swallow one's gaze like a whirlpool.

"Hello, I am Yu Wan, the deputy captain of the Qingdao Special Operations Department."

"Hello."

Ji Ran politely shook hands with Captain Yu.

“Captain Yu is my deputy. He is a level 6 Lingtai Dao expert and has mastered the domain.”

Lingtai Dao, because of its ability to modify the thinking of ordinary people, is almost a standard feature in every major city.

Lin Chi turned to Ji Ran and said, "Now, everyone in the General Administration needs to be investigated because we have confirmed that the cult members can peel off human skin to disguise themselves, so we need to test them."

"I will work with Captain Yu to investigate the personnel."

"You can investigate the rest of the headquarters. Don't worry if you encounter any danger."

Lin Chi smiled and said, "Captain Yu's mastery of his domain is extremely high. Within the General Administration's jurisdiction, as long as an anomaly occurs, his domain can cover it in a single breath."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ran breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay."

……

Archives.

When the staff gathered, Ji Ran asked a security guard to look at the headquarters' layout map, intending to see which places might be suitable hiding places.

After Lin and his team took the person away, what I needed to investigate was the environment.

Team Leader Lin was very cautious and tested himself as well.

The detection method is very simple. As a rare profession like Luan Ke, one only needs to use a professional skill to eliminate suspicion.

"The morgue."

When Ji Ran saw the morgue below the headquarters, his heart skipped a beat!
The last time a body was cremated, the cult member escaped by pretending to be a corpse. What about this time?

Could it be... that they'll resort to the same old tricks again?

Ji Ran frowned. It concerned the traveler, and the caged bird could not be written about.

Go check it out.

Ji Ran had a vague premonition: the human skin might be in the morgue.

Even if those corpses have undergone DNA testing and examination, it cannot rule out the possibility of problems!

I personally witnessed the cook's body being disemboweled and thrown into the incineration well!

It turns out they were cult members!
Ji Ran harbored stronger suspicions about the body than the others.

……

Midnight, in the morgue.

The reason why the headquarters has a morgue is because spiritual events occasionally occur, and related items are temporarily stored here.

It's less of a morgue and more of a storage point for special items belonging to the Special Operations Department.

The shutdown of the morgue was more of a cover-up.

Da da da!
Ji Ran, accompanied by her spirit pet, made her way to the third basement level.

In the dim light, the yokai, including the Kamaitachi, sensed that something was wrong and fell silent.

This floor was completely empty. At one end was "Special Operations Department Warehouse No. 3," and at the other end were the three words "Morgue" in green.

The motion sensor light flickered intermittently, flashing all the way.

Ji Ran walked to the front of the morgue and saw that the duty room was empty.

They must have been called up for an examination.

He stood in front of the door for a moment, then dialed Captain Lin's number and asked, "Captain Lin, have the people from the morgue gone up?"

"Yes." "How do I open this door?"

"The password and key are together. I'll send you the password, and the key is on the shelf in the room."

"it is good."

Ji Ran paused for a moment, then said, "I suspect the human skin might still be on the corpse. I would appreciate it if you and Captain Yu would keep an eye on this area."

"no problem."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Ran found the key and opened the door according to Lin Chi's instructions.

The call served two purposes: first, to ask how to open the door, and second, to let the person know.

If I'm right, the human skin is here, and the cultists are probably here too.

At that time, the two level 6 captains will be able to provide support immediately.

Click!

The heavy door opened, revealing shelves against the walls inside, but they were all empty at the moment.

In the center were several iron beds, each covered with a white sheet containing a corpse.

There were six bodies in total.

Among them, two corpses were significantly larger than normal people. Looking at the pale, deformed feet with bone claws protruding from the white cloth, one could tell that under these two white cloths lay two Dao Lao ghosts.

Ji Ran directly used the Dao of Cause and Effect.

At this moment, in his vision, each corpse was marked by a broken thread of cause and effect. Only a very few threads of cause and effect stretched far and wide, piercing through the steel eaves and converging into the causal network of the entire city.

Those must be the deceased's closest relatives or dearest friends, those who still remember them fondly.

When these people die or are forgotten, the cause and effect of their deaths are completely extinguished. In a true sense, they face a death unknown to anyone.

Ji Ran looked at the two corpses of the Dao Lao Gui. Their karma was similar to that of the other dead, except that they had more unbroken karma.

It was caused by my colleague.

These two knife-wielding ghosts are security guards.

Currently, many people at headquarters are filled with regret and grief. Therefore, these people are still connected to the two deceased security guards.

"Um?!"

Suddenly, Ji Ran noticed a trace of cause and effect seeping through the steel floor.

underground?

Ji Ran's heart raced, and in the light streaming through the door behind him, he drew his Kunwu sword.

when!
The tip of the blade landed on the ground where cause and effect had emerged, and a clear, spring-like aura appeared on the blade!
Skill: Shattered Jade!
The next moment, Kunwu cut through the metal like a hot knife through butter, tearing the metal ground apart.

Bang!
Ji Ran flicked the tip of his knife, and a piece of metal fell to the ground and rolled—glug glug!

By the light streaming in from outside, Ji Ran could clearly see that on the metal surface, a... twisted human skin was emerging!

It's Xu Cheng!
Ji Ran frowned slightly. Why was his human skin inside the metal on the ground?
Tick ​​tock!

Ji Ran's pupils suddenly contracted; blood was dripping from the tip of the knife.

How can there be blood on a human skin?!
He immediately lowered the blade again and cut through the metal on the ground. In less than four or five cuts, Ji Ran saw a male corpse with severed causal lines emerging from its body—the corpse had no face, and its face was a bloody mess.

Ji Ran suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitation!
Thanks to the refinement of his primordial spirit, his memory is excellent.

At this moment, the cause and effect on the faceless male corpse is exactly the same as that of the knife-wielding ghost!
Geek!

Suddenly, a chill ran up his spine and thigh, making his scalp tingle!
Same cause and effect?

One of them is fake; he's a cult member!

Ji Ran's mind raced, but he immediately stuck the metal with the human skin on it in the socket and pretended nothing was wrong as he walked out the door.

Da da da!
When Ji Ran stepped out of the morgue, his pupils contracted!
Instead of a corridor and a duty room, they found themselves in a morgue displaying six corpses.

Ji Ran turned around abruptly, only to find the same scene behind him!
In his vision, doors appeared one after another, each leading to a morgue. Like an endless loop of overlapping corridors, they trapped him!
"Giggle."

A white cloth bulged on a corpse, and pale claws pulled back the shroud.

The pale, faceless man dressed as a security guard spoke in human language, saying, "You... discovered something, didn't you?"

Ji Ran turned around silently, knowing that she had been discovered.

He grasped Kunwu, the ring on his left hand wriggled, and he opened a scarlet eye. A viscous blood-red aura enveloped his body, instantly transforming into blood-scale armor.

At the same time, the Evil Dragon Silkworm appeared, and Kunwu immediately inserted it!
"squeak!"

The Kamaitachi instantly transformed into a gust of wind, sweeping around him! A level 4 wind blade instantly tore through the walls and the guardhouse!
"Hehehe, it's no use."

boom!
The Dao Lao Gui landed with a hoarse voice, his pale face staring intently at me.

"How strange, the Five Gods' concealment was actually discovered by a first-level being."

"I'll use your face to escape and see what secrets you have."

At that moment, the ancient sorcerer saw Ji Ran's earlobes twitching with a cicada-like sound, and suddenly grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and laughed, "Useless."

"Your cicada calls are coordinate-based communication."

"But right now, the coordinates here are messed up."

"Because... from the moment you dug up the male corpse, you entered my [Domain of Rebellion]!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ran's heart sank.

The destruction caused by the Kamaitachi was quite obvious.

But after a few breaths, Captain Yu... still hadn't appeared!
