Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

The spirit covered the ground.

next moment……

Thump! ! ! With a loud thud, Gou Shan, who had jumped up and was trying to imitate Tu Xingsun's ability to burrow underground, crashed into the impenetrable ground and was left dizzy.

"Hey, so it really does burrow underground?"

"No wonder you suddenly disappeared before."

"The relationship has gone underground."

"However... this doesn't seem to be a supernatural power?"

Seeing Gou Shan completely disoriented, He Li chuckled and used his spiritual power to grab him.

When Gou Shan used his earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of technique in Chinese martial arts) technique, he vaguely saw a blurry, eerie figure appear on the other party's body, but the figure was too faint and disappeared too quickly for him to see clearly.

Now Gou Shan is in his hands...

That's something we can confirm.

If it is truly a monster, eating it will grant him the ability to move underground.

He Limei thought to herself with a smug satisfaction.

Gou Shan was now somewhat more sober.

But the panic on his face deepened.

He Li didn't waste any words with him.

He only asked, "Tell me, were the monsters wearing Feng Xu's human skin at Xianying Bridge the ones you sent to collect soul energy? How many more monsters like that did you send?"

"What are you collecting soul energy for?"

"What's the situation with Abbot Qin Yuan here?"

"How much do you know about the Dragon Worship Society?"

He has many problems.

Gou Shan dared not hide it at all.

If it were any other investigator, he might have been able to argue and refuse to confess, but He Yu... This guy is clearly someone who doesn't like to play by the rules.

Master Jin Xin has already been killed by him. If I conceal this, who knows how I will be tortured?

So he had no choice but to answer honestly...

"No...it wasn't all my arrangement..."

"The monster was sent by Qin Yuan and his group."

"I have no control over those monsters... I only have a simple cooperative relationship with them..."

"There are three more..."

"The two were in the company, and now... they should have escaped from the company by now, right? As for Qin Yuan... that old man is a bit mysterious, I don't know much about him."

Gou Shan seemed to be recalling something carefully.

He then continued, "All I know is... he's very capable and has a lot of connections."

"And then it seems he also wanted to achieve immortality or something..."

"The soul energy is for him."

"It seems like he's using his soul energy to nurture something. He once let slip that before long, he... he'll be able to transcend the mortal realm... and then become this and that..."

"I've never heard of the Dragon Worship Society."

He Li looked at Yu Ji upon hearing this.

The latter nodded, confirming that he was not lying.

At the same time, Yu Ji pressed further, "What's the deal with the human skin and your company's research?"

"This..." Gou Shan said weakly, "Curing cancer is purely about suppressing the disease with drugs developed using spiritual energy. In reality... it can't truly cure the disease."

"The human skin was also given by Qin Yuan."

"I heard it was caused by some kind of monster."

"Judging from Qin Yuan's words, besides our company, he has other partners who collect soul energy..."

"And...and...collecting soul energy involves not only monsters but also martial artists from Mount Emei."

"After they collected the soul energy..."

"Qin Yuan will give them some benefits."

"However, some time ago, some Taoist priests from Qingyang Palace went and killed some Emei martial artists who were doing their work..."

Qingyang Palace? He Li nodded secretly.

As expected, the local sects are the most reliable.

These bald Buddhist monks are just not very good.

As he thought this, Yu Ji frowned: "Who provided you with the formula for those chemicals? And in the end, where do you think Qin Yuan went after he ran away beforehand?"

Upon hearing this, Gou Shan glanced at the petite and delicate girl with some suspicion.

"The medicine was given to me by a local martial artist."

"They also supplied me with my cancer medication..."

"But I'm not familiar with them."

"As for Qin Yuan... that old bastard, he's so deeply involved with Emei, he must have gone there!" Gou Shan's face was full of hatred when he mentioned Qin Yuan.

He was clearly resentful that Qin Yuan had used him to hold off He Li and the others without helping him escape.

He Li saw that Yu Ji had finished asking what he wanted to ask...

He then did not hesitate any longer...

*Thud!* He Li reached out and brutally shattered Gou Shan's chest cavity. In Gou Shan's horrified, pained, and incredulous gaze, He Li began haphazardly rummaging through his body…

Finally, they pulled out a bloated worm.

This thing looks like a fat snake.

Round head, no teeth.

Upon seeing this thing, He Li was enveloped in black mist, then opened his mouth and put the insect in his mouth...

creak~ creak...

With the crisp sound of chewing, the surrounding tourists, pilgrims, monks, and investigators were all terrified by He Li's brutal actions, their faces turning as pale as paper.

"Didn't everyone... confess?"

"Why...why did he use such lethal force?"

"And so brutal, directly... directly smashing a person's chest cavity and then churning it around inside. Look at Gou Shan... his heart and intestines have already spilled out..."

"Ugh! Stop talking, I can't take it anymore..."

"The Bone-Chewing Yama... truly lives up to his name!"

"In his eyes, criminals are not human beings at all."

"Those are beasts, they can be slaughtered at will... My God, no wonder Qin Yuan ran away..."

"He probably already knew He Li's background all along, didn't he?"

"That's possible!"

Amidst the surrounding chatter, it retreated at lightning speed.

As He Li devoured the insect, a whispered voice echoed in his mind...

[Target consumed: Groundworm]

[Gained Ability: Earth Travel]

Earth Travel: Travels underground without hindrance!

It really is the ability to burrow underground.

Hearing the whispers, He Li beamed with joy.

Meanwhile, the Xuan-level investigators sent by Hongtian to mediate had just arrived at the scene, but... after seeing the scene clearly, they knew it was already too late.

The good thing is, there really is a problem with this Wenshu Temple.

Although He Li went a bit too far...

But ultimately, there was no major mistake.

Thinking of this, the Xuan-level investigator lost the will to reprimand He Li for what he had done wrong. After all, He Li was still there, living a primitive life, and he didn't want to provoke him.

He simply stood there, quickly turned on his watch, and reported what had happened to the bureau.

Waiting for his message to come back...

Behind the main hall, Hong Tian and the others exchanged glances...

"You're saying... he killed Master Jin Xin?"

"Master Qin Yuan has run away?"

"Gou Shan was also tortured to death by him???"

"So there really is something wrong with Wenshu Monastery? Is Qin Yuan very likely the mastermind behind the Soul Qi case?"

Upon hearing the report, some people couldn't help but want to confirm, and the investigator at the scene immediately nodded in response: "Yes, I have already heard the bystanders recount what happened."

"That power is terrifying!"

"He smashed Master Jin Xin and his Golden Bell Shield to pieces with a single punch."

"Master Qin Yuan may have known his true colors and was afraid, which is why he ran away. Gou Shan... was simply left behind by Qin Yuan to hold off He Li and the others."

"And then there's the matter of the Soul Qi case..."

"But Qin Yuan has disappeared somewhere now."

"Gou Shan said he might have gone to Emei!"

After listening to these stories, Hong Tian and the others were at a loss for words.

The Soul Qi Case, such a huge case...

The incident has affected countless victims across various districts of Chengdu.

They investigated and investigated without any results, but He Li, after only two days, directly identified the mastermind behind the scenes, which scared Qin Yuan so much that he fled on the spot.

He solved the case so quickly...

Wouldn't that make Chengdu look useless?

Hong Tian felt increasingly uneasy as he thought about it.

The head of the Sky Eye Department couldn't help but say, "Actually... actually, we can solve cases too."

"We hadn't solved the case before because we never imagined that those seemingly respectable and righteous companies and temples were actually the masterminds, with their subordinates constrained by the connections behind those places..."

"I didn't dare to investigate further."

"If we investigate carefully..."

As he was talking, he suddenly fell silent.

He suddenly realized that even if someone in Rongcheng risked their life and fearlessly investigated the case despite the powerful and influential, what if they encountered Qin Yuan and Jin Xin?

Can we win?

If the case isn't solved by then, he might even die.

Others, of course, thought of this as well.

The atmosphere immediately became even more somber.

Hong Tian was helpless when he saw this.

What kind of subordinates are these? If you can't boost morale, then don't spout nonsense, okay?

The morale is even lower now.

He shook his head, and after calming down, said, "Although He Li and the others performed brilliantly, we weren't without opportunities to shine, after all, Qin Yuan hasn't been captured yet!"

Upon hearing this, the others' eyes lit up.

That's right, Qin Yuan hasn't been caught yet.

If they find Qin Yuan first...
