Chapter 269 Thunder Method Display
Li Xuan slowly stood up from the sofa, extended his right hand, and smiled, "Hello, Officer Huang. Let me reintroduce myself. My name is Li Xuan. I come from the mainland and I am a judge in Fengdu, specializing in handling cases of ghosts and gods making mistakes."

Huang Yaozu was dumbfounded.

He had prepared all sorts of arguments from the other party, but unexpectedly, they immediately brought up a judge from Fengdu whom he had never heard of before.

What is a judge? A judge is someone who often makes decisive judgments in court. Fengdu, the legendary ghost city, and the judges of Fengdu are truly arrogant.

The man with glasses sat in a wheelchair, his right index finger gently tracing patterns on the table.

Huang Yaozu had worked with him for several years and naturally knew what some of his subtle actions meant.

The person wearing glasses said: This young man is very dangerous...

There was also a pistol with its magazine removed on the table, indicating that a conflict had definitely occurred, and it was clear that Glasses had lost.

Huang Yaozu's hand unconsciously moved towards his waist, but Li Xuan's movement froze him in place as if he had been cast a spell.

The air was filled with the smell of burning. Blue arcs of electricity danced between the five fingers of Li Xuan's outstretched right hand. The distance was so close that even the palm lines on his fair hand were clearly visible, so there was no physical trick involved.

Huang Yaozu's throat was dry. He swallowed hard and said, "Is this... the kind of magic made up in novels?"

Religious culture has existed since ancient times. Natural phenomena such as wind, rain, thunder, lightning, earthquakes, and tsunamis create various terrifying and strange phenomena. Based on these phenomena, the ancients embellished and imagined all sorts of demons, monsters, and gods, and established various sects. These sects even produced all sorts of seemingly logical scriptures and doctrines...

Magic and miracles appear repeatedly in the scriptures...

Examples include Taoism, which is prevalent in mainland China, with its cultivation practices and Taoist arts; Christianity, with its beliefs and miracles; and Shamanism, with its focus on nature and rituals.

When Huang Yaozu was just an ordinary police officer, he encountered a case involving "ghosts" for the first time. He couldn't sleep for several days, and the truth of the world tormented his mind.

He went on a crazy trek out of Hong Kong Island, searching for ways to suppress ghosts in various places where religious culture was prevalent. In the end, all those so-called magic, miracles and beliefs were useless. To deal with ghosts, there was only one thing that was most reliable: a gun!
Now, Huang Yaozu saw that what he had long given up on, and what could only exist in his imagination, was now truly before his eyes.

His lips parted slightly, his breathing became erratic, and his eyes were fixed on the pulsating blue arc of electricity. His mind was in a daze, as if he were a puppet on a string, slowly reaching out his right hand towards the raging arc of electricity.

Glasses knew the pain his boss had gone through and understood it very well, but he was clearer-headed than his boss and knew that safety came first until it was clear whether they were enemies or friends.

He forced back his fear and said, "Inspector Wong!"

Huang Yaozu snapped out of his daze, immediately drenched in sweat. He licked his dry lips, realizing that in front of such a powerful person with supernatural abilities, being straightforward was the most reliable approach.

He asked, “What does my friend want from me? It seems I have nothing but this errand office and a gun.”

Li Xuan said, "What I want is very simple: world peace, so that people can recognize the existence of ghosts and unite to fight against them!"

The arc of electricity in his hand dissipated instantly.

If Huang Yaozu had heard these words before witnessing the magic, he might have made a few jokes.

At this moment, he could only sense Li Xuan's unwavering will from his calm words.

This young man is serious...

Huang Yaozu grasped Li Xuan's hand and said, "My name is Huang Yaozu, the head of the Miscellaneous Affairs Section of the Hong Kong Island Police Station. This place is a bit messy, please excuse me. Please sit down, let's chat."

He walked behind an old table and sat down, picked up a flat metal bottle, took a swig, made an unintelligible sound, and then said in a deep voice: "Ghosts are very scary and hard to distinguish. We can only narrow down the scope by looking at the murders they have committed, and then pinpoint their exact location. By then, four or five lives have already been lost."

"Our method for dealing with ghosts is simple: when they possess people, we shoot them and kill them along with their bodies!"

"Back when I was just a regular police officer, I came across something called ghosts. It happened when a ghost was possessing a little boy..."

"I still killed him."

"Because ghosts are like viruses, they can possess people through contact. People who have been possessed become soulless shells. So... no matter if they are young or old, male or female, the only solution is to kill them! Just kill them and that will end the problem."

Perhaps due to the alcohol, Huang Yaozu spoke with great force, even gesturing with his hands. His eyes revealed a fierceness mixed with deep exhaustion, before his eyes reddened slightly: "What can I do? Just kill them. The miscellaneous affairs department used to have more than a dozen colleagues, but now only Glasses and I are left. I really don't know how much longer we can hold on..."

He took another swig of wine: "I've realized something: how long a person lives is never determined by their physical health."

As a competent listener, Li Xuan appropriately chimed in, "What is that?"

Huang Yaozu smiled and said, "From the moment a person is born, life is fragile. No matter the age or gender, no one knows whether they will die in the next moment. Just like me now, I may die suddenly in the next second."

Therefore, I need to learn to use a philosophical and probabilistic approach to shorten the lifespan of everyone I encounter. Only in this way, after killing the ghost, will I not torment myself by looking at the body and thinking things like, "This child is still young, with a long future ahead," or "This girl's prime years are over."

His eyes welled up with tears, and his nose stung. Facing Li Xuan, a complete stranger he was meeting for the first time, he suddenly didn't know where to turn his face.

Li Xuan listened silently and then said, "Officer Huang, you've persevered for so many years, it must have been really tough for you."

Sincere words often reach the soul the most.

Huang Yao had persisted in this for so many years and gone through countless trials. He thought he had a very strong mind, but this word of concern from a stranger made his inner defenses collapse!

His hands were trembling as he held the bottle and poured the liquor down his throat. Tears streamed down his face, mixing with the spilled liquor and dripping onto his collar...

The miscellaneous affairs department fell silent.

The only sound it makes is the clicking sound when the fan is oscillating.

Li Xuan said, "Since I'm new here, Officer Huang, would it be convenient for you to arrange accommodation for me in the miscellaneous affairs section?"

Huang Yaozu wiped his face with his hand and perked up: "It's very messy here, I'm afraid you'll be in trouble if you stay here."

Li Xuan laughed and said, "I'm not picky."

To be honest, Huang Yaozu didn't have much money and couldn't arrange a good hotel for Li Xuan to stay in. He himself lived in the miscellaneous affairs department for a long time, so he got up and cleaned the room with Glasses.

After cleaning the room, Li Xuan moved in.

The next morning, Huang Yaozu got up early and walked out of the miscellaneous affairs department. Glasses was already waiting at the building entrance. The two looked at each other and Glasses asked, "Can we trust that Li Xuan?"

The morning wind was cold and stung my face.

Huang Yaozu instinctively reached for his drink, then realized he'd forgotten it. He took a couple of breaths of cold air and said, "He has an inexplicable aura of righteousness about him. I had no other choice but to trust him..."
