Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 276 The Commander is a Ghost
Despite his disheveled appearance, Huang Yaozu is actually a legitimate inspector, though his jurisdiction is limited to the miscellaneous affairs section. The only person he can rely on is Glasses. Therefore, the other officers in the police station don't really respect this inspector. Unless their rank difference is too great, they don't give Huang Yaozu any face...

He also became the most miserable inspector.

Huang Yaozu kept repeating Liu Chenggang's name, recalling the first time he met this superior officer, when Liu Chenggang was eating egg tarts.

As the number of meetings increased, Liu Chenggang was either eating or on his way to eat.

Even during meetings, he would keep a cup of milk tea in front of him. Logically speaking, with such a high intake of oil and sugar every day, and in much larger quantities than the average person, his body should not be able to handle it. However, Liu Chenggang was just a little fat and rounder. He kept saying that he had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar, but he didn't look like he was going to die at all.

Huang Yaozu also suspected Liu Chenggang during his most painful time.

But this leader never seemed to make things difficult for him. In fact, when he learned of the sacrifice of a colleague in the miscellaneous affairs department and was in great pain, he made a special trip to the department to offer him psychological comfort.

Huang Yaozu touched the steel needle and said, "Tell me, do good ghosts exist in this world?"

Li Xuan saw hesitation on Huang Yaozu's face and asked, "Is it possible that the ghosts you've executed over the years were innocent?"

Huang Yaozu's face began to daze. Some people die with lingering attachments, turning into ghosts and wandering the streets. At first, they may not have really intended to harm people, but as time goes by, their resentment grows stronger and stronger, and in the end, they still end up possessing others...

Ghosts "live" on their obsessions.

Obsessions can intensify over time, much like excessive alcohol can drive a person mad. The human body possesses a certain allure, and when possessed by a ghost, the obsession transforms into malevolent thoughts and begins to wreak havoc…

Li Xuan said, "Since we've decided on this path, we must stick to it. If we waver, it could kill us all, including myself."

He said solemnly, "Officer Huang, I can be 100% trusted by you, but can you be 100% worthy of my trust?"

Huang Yaozu's heart rate rose, and he gritted his teeth and made up his mind, saying, "I... I'll give it a try."

The following day, the matter of Guo Xiaolan's body was dealt with.

Huang Yaozu carried a bag of egg tarts to the police station, went straight to the office of Deputy Commissioner of Police Liu Chenggang, knocked on the door, and went in.

Liu Chenggang was holding a sandwich in both hands, munching on it. His mouth was covered in salad dressing and bits of vegetables. His greedy appearance conjured up the image of a gluttonous devil in Huang Yaozu's mind.

"Oh, it's Yaozu. What brings you here again?"

"I made these special egg tarts myself, so please have a taste, sir."

As Huang Yaozu spoke, he pushed the two bags in front of the deputy director and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, I just wanted to ask if you have found someone to replace me? I've worked in the miscellaneous affairs department for more than ten years, and I want to see the world, get back together with my ex-wife, and try all the new things I've never experienced before..."

Deputy Director Liu Chenggang smiled, opened the bag, and reached for the box.

He said in a calm and unhurried tone, "Look, you're in a hurry again? As your leader, how could I not know your difficulties? Here's what we'll do: there's that Li Guoqiang case going on these past few days, isn't there?"

After he recovers in the hospital, we'll see how to write the report. If he really has talent, I'll find a reason to arrange for him to gain experience in your miscellaneous affairs department for a while.

When you feel he can replace you, then write your resignation letter to me, and I'll definitely approve it.

Huang Yaozu was so tired of hearing such boring talk that his ears were practically calloused. He had long been fed up with the responsibilities of the miscellaneous affairs department. He hadn't enjoyed any of the benefits and was constantly ostracized, which drove him almost crazy.

I don't know what Liu Chenggang saw in him, but he insisted that he stay here.

Suddenly, Liu Chenggang hissed, his right hand flashed out of the bag, and he put his index finger in his mouth and sucked on it. Then he looked at it and saw a thin strip on his fingertip, as if it had been burned by something.

He carefully emptied the contents of the bag.

Besides a box of egg tarts, there was also a small bag of needles and thread in the bag. My finger just touched the needle protruding from the bag.

Upon seeing the needle, Liu Chenggang suddenly realized what was going on, then frowned and said, "Yaozu, are you not happy with me? You put the needle and thread in the egg tart to trick me?" Huang Yaozu looked flustered, took back the small bag, saluted, and opened the inside of his clothes to reveal a tattered inner pocket. He said awkwardly, "My pocket was torn. I was thinking of sewing it up myself when I was bored, but I didn't expect to prick you. This... it's my fault. I'll treat you to dinner tonight..."

Looking at the "burn" on his finger that was slowly returning to normal, Liu Chenggang was completely baffled. There was no wound on his finger; he had clearly been burned.

Are the egg tarts too hot?

Not right either.

After thinking for a long time, Liu Chenggang still couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation. In addition, since his fingers had recovered, he wondered if he had eaten too much food and gotten food poisoning.
He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you're one of my old subordinates, how can I blame you for something like this?"

Huang Yaozu kept apologizing, stuffing the needle and thread into his pocket, wishing he could disappear into the ground: "I... I'll leave now, please take your time..."

Liu Chenggang's expression softened slightly. He picked up the egg tart, took a bite, and said, "Hmm, not bad."

Huang Yaozu closed the door and went out. He stood in the corridor without looking up and left. The look of fear on his face slowly disappeared, and he gradually became solemn and serious.

The needles in the sewing bag had been treated by Li Xuan using lightning magic; only ghosts could be burned by them.

Liu Chenggang...

It really is a ghost.

Huang Yaozu had very mixed feelings and didn't know how he ended up back at the miscellaneous affairs department in a daze.

He didn't see Li Xuan, and the person with glasses said so.

……

Li Xuan paid to enter the Kowloon Swimming Pool, a recreational mixed-use swimming pool where both adults and children can swim and play in the water.

In the original drama, there was an incident where the swimming pool was closed for inspection for almost a month because a little girl drowned. However, when it reopened, sharp crying could always be heard at night.

Li Guoqiang was transferred to the miscellaneous affairs department. When he came to inspect the swimming pool, he met Huang Yaozu. He didn't believe Huang Yaozu's statement that "there are no ghosts in this world." He came to inspect the swimming pool a second time, only to encounter the ghost of a little girl who had drowned in the pool. He was so frightened that he scrambled away...

Li Xuan wants to change the world's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall structure or pattern of the world).

He doesn't have a complete plan yet, but in the meantime, he'll try to fix some minor regrets in the film, like the girl who drowned...

The Kowloon Swimming Pool is still open.

This means that the little girl's incident hasn't happened yet, and there's still time.

Li Xuan changed into his swimsuit and sat on a chair by the pool, drinking fruit juice and scanning the pool with his eyes.

Li Guoqiang was hospitalized for 49 days, the swimming pool was closed for about a month, and it would take several days from the incident to the closure, so it is highly likely that the drowning incident occurred in the last 1 to 3 days.

He suddenly saw a woman in her thirties with half her body submerged in the water, her feet treading on the water, her eyes radiating malice.

Possessed by a ghost?

Li Xuan couldn't be sure; he would have to strike her with lightning from his palm to know.

The woman suddenly sank into the water and swam towards a little girl wearing a dark blue one-piece swimsuit with a life ring. She grabbed the little girl's feet with both hands and pulled her down!
