Headless Immortal

Chapter 113 Investigation and Conversion

The man in the trench coat wore a large cloth hat with a curved brim.

Upon hearing the words 'Grade A', he suddenly looked up, revealing a pair of gray eyes: "Can you track it?"

"He's hard to track. His spiritual power is very weak, as if it only bursts forth when he attacks."

The young woman's voice continued into the microphone, "However, there are still remnants on that vehicle, so it must have arrived by car. I will have the department cooperate in investigating the surveillance footage to find the origin of this vehicle."

The man in the trench coat took out a small box from his pocket and poured out a piece of candy: "Aqing, you investigate first, I'll report to the director."

Inside the van.

The keyboard next to the woman, called Aqing, was separate, designed for better ergonomics.

Four screens surround you: dashboards of various sizes arranged in a circle, along with various controllers. On the left is a green screen that displays the length of fluctuations.

From the outside it looks like a beat-up van, but inside it is full of instruments and the central structure is designed like an armored vehicle.

The two men in the back seat, dressed in dark gray combat uniforms, craned their necks, staring in disbelief, and exclaimed, "Grade A?!"

"At least a large-scale illusion realm would be required to produce this kind of illusion realm traveler certificate."

"I remember two years ago in Huadu District, a major..." The young man in the tight-fitting clothes paused and continued, "That was also a Class A building, the whole building was..."

With her hair tied in a ponytail, looking very capable, Wen Qing said without turning her head, "That's why I suspect it was a revenge killing; the other party was very sensible."

As she spoke, she retrieved data, and Lin Fengyou's information immediately appeared on the right screen. Wen Qing sneered, "Heh, cheating people out of money and sex, he really deserves to die."

Wen Qing said, "Captain, we have located the origin of the vehicle."

The man in the trench coat who opened the car door said, "Drive."

"Brother Ye, if he really is a top-tier traveler, the few of us can't handle him alone."

Ye Huanzhen glanced at him with his gray eyes and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I've already applied for firing permission."

Jiuhua Street.

night market.

Wen Qing directly accessed the surveillance footage on the road to accurately locate Zhu Hu's vehicle. He then cast a spell, and the small paper figures hanging to the side automatically folded into paper cranes.

"Xiaolin, take out the drone and go check."

"Okay Captain."

"..."

Ye Zhen didn't need to make any arrangements. These three were all his old teammates, and they knew exactly what to do.

He got out of the car, tapped his earpiece, and said, "Big Money, turn on the dashcam."

"opened."

In my childhood.

Ye Zhenhuan had already arrived at that ambiguous red and blue hair salon.

The girl in shorts' eyes lit up: "Handsome guy..."

"Detective."

The young woman was trembling with fear, but fortunately she was experienced and didn't run away immediately. She just said that she was doing legitimate business.

"That's not it. Do you recognize this car?" Ye Zhen showed the photos he had taken to the girl in shorts.

The younger sister recognized it immediately: "Isn't this Tiger's car?"

"Who?"

"Zhu Hu".

"Where is he now?"

"We've been walking for a while."

"When did you leave?"

"About an hour and a half ago," the girl in shorts said, glancing back at the clock.

"Is it accurate?"

"Of course it's accurate, we are..." The younger sister smiled awkwardly.

"Did he leave on his own or with someone else?"

"Someone came looking for him."

"who."

"One old and one young."

The young woman in shorts took out a cigarette, lit it, and recalled, "The old man seemed to know Brother Tiger. Brother Tiger was talking about something like a house contract. Later, Brother Tiger got impatient and wanted to fight. That young man was really tough. I don't know how he hit him, but Brother Tiger became like a kitten and obediently followed the other party. He hadn't even paid the money yet."

"Aqing, portrait."

Ye Huanzhen looked at the girl in shorts and asked, "What are the characteristics of the old man and the young girl?"

……

Lu Xun went straight to bed upon returning to the shop, his mental exhaustion making him unwilling to move at all.

In my dream, I was unaware that I was a guest.

dusk.

He slowly woke up, fumbled for his dual-SIM phone, glanced at the time—it was already 5 p.m.—he had slept for 21 hours.

Yawning, Lu Xun put on his clothes and went out to buy groceries, enjoying a rare moment of peace. Last night's blood and fire seemed like a dream, or perhaps a distant, strange ancient world.

The main dish was tomato and beef brisket soup, served with roasted lamb bought from the market.

The rice cooker, which I pressed the switch before leaving the house, had already tripped and turned green.

Lu Xun filled a small stainless steel basin with half a pot of rice, turned on the TV, and tuned it to a local channel in Huacheng.

The beautiful host read from the script, reporting on everything in Huacheng. The park is still under construction and has now changed hands to a third developer. They say it will definitely be completed before 09.

Huacheng has six districts in total. Lu Xun is located in Chongyang District. It seems that the large illusionary realm is still sealed off and has not been fully excavated.

"This station continues to report that a fire has broken out in a detached villa in the Tulip Community of Chongyang District. It is understood that the owner, Lin Fengyou, is the founder of the Mind Relaxation Center..."

Seeing that there was no useful information, Lu Xun simply changed the channel and found that "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was playing.

While eating, I nestled in my chair and watched TV, casually unscrewing a soda and taking a refreshing sip.

The modern world is indeed very comfortable, and even those with extraordinary powers have very limited capabilities.
Because of this, Lu Xun became bolder. Last time he came back, he didn't dare to leave his own little territory, but this time he has already started killing people.

Perhaps it brought back the murderous nature of the ancient world.

Lu Xun, with his cheeks puffed out, slowed down his chewing, lost in thought.

In short, we cannot be so reckless; the more stable a place is, the less tolerance it has for individual violence.

He wasn't sure if he could withstand short-range fire, but he certainly couldn't withstand an anti-materiel sniper rifle; one wrong move and he'd lose his life.

I need to be more careful and restrain myself from making any moves in the future.

What state am I in right now?

Lu Xun pondered deeply.

The reason he found the world ignoring him was because he didn't receive a single call on his phone.

At his busiest, he used to receive dozens of phone calls a day, but now he doesn't even get a single nuisance call, let alone any legitimate work.

Combined with the fact that when he asked Liu Chengbiao where the box was to be delivered, Liu Chengbiao couldn't answer the name of the place, Lu Xun began to suspect that he might have become an unregistered resident.

If Liu Chengbiao hadn't been there, Lu Xun would have twisted off several heads, and it would have been difficult to reattach them to his neck.

Thus, identity is also a problem.

"Let's get a fake certificate," Lu Xun said with a chuckle and a shake of his head.

In the ancient world, he missed the comfort and order of the modern world. Now that he's back, he feels uneasy and thinks the ancient world was more carefree. People always complain about the environment wherever they are and always feel that the other side is better.

I went out to the department store and bought two boxes of black contact lenses.

Mr. Ni's bloodshot eyes never looked good; he always wore sunglasses.

I went to the photo studio to take ID photos again.

I took the written information and followed the telephone pole to a small alley. I turned into the alley through the roller shutter door and found a small, cramped shed on the ground floor that sold all sorts of things like phone cards, earphones, and broadband lines.

Lu Xun knew that the other party had other services, so he put his hand on the counter: "It was recommended by an acquaintance. I heard that you can get a set of certificates for 260 here."

The shop owner was young, looked somewhat slovenly, and dressed in a very unfashionable style. He leaned against the counter, peering out the door: "Nobody's with you, is there?"

"No."

The disheveled shop owner asked, "Photo, the identity document I need."

"It's all here." "How quickly will it be processed?"

"This time tomorrow."

……

After arranging the two matters, Lu Xunwo returned to his shop and began to peruse the sword manual with great interest. He also took out several other secret manuals and began to translate them into modern language according to their meanings.

I'm not satisfied no matter how I look at it.

This thing is impossible to use to learn martial arts; just crumple it up and throw it in the trash.

midnight.

The bell rings.

Each time, I find strength amidst hesitation and loneliness.

Lu Xun, who was concentrating intently, turned his head to look at the light green phone.

"Hey."

Liu Chengbiao's voice, low but unable to hide his joy, came from the other end of the phone: "Boss, everything is done."

"So fast?" Lu Xun was a little surprised. Even when withdrawing a large amount of money from the bank, you have to make an appointment a day in advance. Therefore, he felt that two days was already very tight, so he planned to get the money three days later.

I didn't expect Liu Chengbiao to be so efficient; he got it done in just over a day.

"The boss's jade and jewelry collection totals 30 million, but I negotiated it down to 20 million. They were even more eager than we were."

Lu Xun nodded and said, "Let's talk in person. Address."

"No. 3 Jiuhua Street, Brother Biao's Moving Company."

Having obtained the address, Lu Xun was too lazy to continue dawdling over these secret manuals. He pulled up the roller shutter, locked it, straddled the motorcycle, pedaled, twisted the throttle, and drove onto the road.

……

In no time at all, Lu Xun had arrived at No. 3 Jiuhua Street.

This is an office building.

Liu Chengbiao and a young man in black eagerly awaited their arrival.

"boss."

Liu Chengbiao, dressed in a well-fitting brown suit, waved to the pale-faced young man.

Lu Xun parked his car across the street, walked across the overpass, and looked at the office building in front of him. Although the moving company only occupied one floor, it still impressed him. He said, "Your business is quite large."

Liu Chengbiao said with a smile, "It's just a moving company, two large bathhouses, and a few KTVs. It's a small business. I originally wanted to meet the boss at the bathhouse to discuss business, but I was worried that you wouldn't be comfortable with that. You know, people in our line of work always have to deal with things like listening devices, so being naked makes us more honest..."

Lu Xun waved his hand slightly, indicating that they should go upstairs first.

Liu Chengbiao led the way: "Boss, this way."

Upon entering the office building, one finds a quaint, antique-style boss's office surrounded by wooden display cases. Behind him are two upright safes, locked behind a hidden door.

Liu Chengbiao gestured to his secretary to bring over the documents, and then sent a young man in black to guard the door. He then looked at Lu Xun sitting on the sofa, pointed to the documents and said, "Ten million in cash has been raised, and the remaining twelve million has been deposited into my company's account. It's equivalent to the group's investment in my small company, and it's all clean money."

Open the two large boxes next to you.

Liu Chengbiao proudly stated, "Ten million in cash, old banknotes with non-consecutive serial numbers, totaling 230 jin (approximately 115 kg), packed in two boxes. It will be accounted for through my channels, so no matter how you investigate, you won't be able to trace it back to the boss. There's also a new identity here; all that's missing is a photograph."

Looking at the two boxes piled in front of him, along with a stack of documents, five bank cards, and his new identity file, Lu Xun sighed and said, "You've put a lot of thought into this."

No wonder he became a boss and was well-connected in Chongyang District. Everyone in the underworld called him "Brother Biao".

He wasn't familiar with Liu Chengbiao, or rather, they weren't familiar with each other before.

He used to be just a middleman, a small shop owner, a middleman who acted as a buffer for those people. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye he would be sitting in the main seat with 20 million in front of him, yet he didn't feel much of a stir in his heart.

"Boss, please don't say that." Liu Chengbiao said, placing the Blood Serpent Bracelet on the table.

Lu Xun didn't even look at him, but gave Liu Chengbiao a look.

Liu Chengbiao quickly told his secretary to leave.

Only two people remained in the antique-style boss's office.

Lu Xun simply said, "You're helping me so much, aren't you afraid of being implicated by me?"

Liu Chengbiao was taken aback.

In that instant, many thoughts flashed through his mind. The death of Lin Fengyou, the arrest of his boss by the authorities, or being shot in the head by a long-range sniper rifle...

Fragments flickered continuously.

He remained silent for a while before slowly saying, "Boss, to be honest, I'm scared too, but I think you're the most capable person in the whole of Huacheng."

“I know the department is investigating. When the time comes, I’ll hand over a few people and take good care of their families so they can live comfortably in jail.”

Lu Xun shook his head and said, "No need, I should talk to them."

Liu Chengbiao looked as if he had just realized something.

"There are no security cameras here, right?"

"No."

"Your skills are too weak..."

Lu Xun silently changed his head in his mind as he spoke.

Mr. Ni, with his pale face, lost his two black contact lenses, turning his eyes into black and gold pupils. Multiple drooping eyelids obscured his gaze, and his slender body suddenly became bloated and enormous.

In an instant, the long sofa turned into a small stool, like a folding stool, and sitting on it was a three-meter-tall tapir-nosed monster carrying an oval shell.

Liu Chengbiao's eyes widened, his mouth gaped open in shock, and he almost fell to the ground, completely overwhelmed by the awe of seeing such a mythical creature before his eyes.

His body trembled involuntarily, and he felt like he was being shaken.

He wanted to shout but couldn't, as if he had completely lost his voice.

Living Buddha Lu Xun reached into the cabinet, took out a porcelain bowl, placed it on the small tea table, and scratched his finger with his fingernail, letting out a layer of precious blood.

The turtle monster said, "Drink it."

Liu Chengbiao dared not refuse to drink; he was completely overwhelmed by immense fear.

Lu Xun channeled his magic power, condensing a pale green light from the giant winnowing basket-shaped hand, and slapped it onto Liu Chengbiao's head. Then, this layer of light covered Liu Chengbiao like flowing water.

Save!

Slowly finishing his practice, Lu Xun reverted to having the pale-faced Mr. Ni's head.

Liu Chengbiao felt warm all over, and there was a force swimming in his stomach, like a small fish. He instinctively used the 'small fish' technique, and the emerald ring on his finger immediately flashed brightly.

If the original barrier was like a bubble that would burst at the slightest touch, then what we see now is a solid barrier, and the change is visible to the naked eye.

Liu Chengbiao was completely flustered and stammered, "This, this is..."

"Now you have true qi." Lu Xun felt extremely tired. The conversion and the Five Gods' summoning of generals were similar in effect, but unfortunately his summoning slots were full, and his conversion was not yet at a high level, so the effect should not be strong. He only managed to refine a wisp of true qi, which could also be called magic power.

Lu Xun stood up and took his new identity.

If he had known, he wouldn't have let the guy in the alley make him a fake certificate; he could have saved 260 yuan.

The company has a photographer; after taking the photo, you just wait for your ID card to be printed.

Liu Chengbiao was still in a daze, only occasionally chuckling to himself.

After receiving the newly printed ID, Lu Xun said, "I'll take the bank card, you keep the cash."

“I might not be able to get through to you. If they find out about you, they can just pin the blame on me.”

"But what should be said, and what shouldn't be said, I think..."

Liu Chengbiao said firmly, "I know very well!"

……

Liu Chengbiao escorted Lu Xun to the door, watching as Lu Xun turned into the alley and disappeared.

The young man in black beside him frowned and asked, "Boss, isn't he too young? I see he needs us to do everything for him. We haven't even taken any profits from the money laundering."

"Xiao Yue, you don't understand."

Yue Zhenghui asked in confusion, "What do you know?"

Liu Chengbiao grabbed Yue Zhenghui's arms and shook him violently, saying, "I'm rich, we're fucking rich! Little Yue, do you understand? I thought he was the first in Huacheng to get this, but I never thought he might..."

He abruptly stopped talking.

He burst into laughter.

He put his hands behind his back and walked upstairs: "I've struck it rich!"
