I discovered a world bug.

Chapter 33 He's targeting me.

After Qin Lang finished speaking, Lin Shu fell into a long silence.

At this moment, he didn't know how to face the person in front of him, or even how to face the world.

Fast, too fast.

From the moment I came into contact with the ritual until now, the veil of the world has been lifted layer by layer, and only a week has actually passed.

But within this week, my fixed and outdated beliefs have been gradually shattered.

When Qin Lang uttered the word "science," he was still hesitant.

He still clung to a sliver of hope, thinking that they might just be trying to explain Li Yu's death in a more scientific and professional way.

But when he mentioned "lineage," the situation began to change in an unstoppable trend.

They clearly knew everything.

Perhaps in their knowledge system, "rituals" are not called "rituals," just like Li Yu, who also believes those things are "magic."

Without a doubt, what Qin Lang was talking to him about, and what he truly understood, was the same thing...

Of course, Qin Lang also fully understands everything he has in his grasp.

Are you kidding me...?

Are you from the Bureau of Polling?

Lin Shu looked at Qin Lang with a conflicted expression, and the latter shrugged and said:

I know you're still hesitant, and I know you have secrets.

He shrugged.

"I have secrets too, and everyone in our group has secrets. After all, our work is special and our overall organizational structure is quite basic."

"Right now, what we've put together is essentially just a makeshift setup."

"But it's okay. That's why, as long as it doesn't affect the overall situation, we don't have that much energy to pry into personal privacy."

"Focusing on the principal contradiction—given the severity of the current problems, this is our guiding principle."

"And our main problem right now is... Li Yu's death."

"His death is linked to another major case we are investigating. Now, we must determine whether his death is part of this major case or simply a coincidence that happened to be linked to you as the middleman."

"These two judgments will have a completely different and extremely significant impact on our subsequent work."

"Well then... let's begin."

"Do you know how Li Yu died?"

Qin Lang's question was very direct—in essence, he was repeating a question that He Cheng had already asked.

But now, the situation is completely different.

Qin Lang's question wasn't a simple one; it was actually a...

A pledge of allegiance?

By answering his questions, you are essentially admitting your identity and tacitly joining the group.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing for me?

Lin Shu subconsciously scratched his head, analyzing his situation in his mind.

Yes, I did come into contact with rituals, and the power they provide can indeed change my life to a great extent.

But at the same time, I also face a serious threat to my life.

Whether it's the harm inflicted by the client or the unpredictable "divine retribution," both are urging me to speed up my pace.

And if you want to speed things up...

The best solution seems to be to seek help from a more powerful force, right?

Is there any force in this world that is more powerful or has more resources than the official forces?

It seems not.

Lin Shu had already made up his mind, but he still did not give a direct answer.

He wanted to test the waters further, not just because of simple "distrust," but more importantly, to gauge the depth of the person in front of him.

Thinking of this, Lin Shu asked:

"What do you think it is?"

"Zombie".

Qin Lang gave a brief reply.

Lin Shu was startled—hearing this word from the mouth of an official was bound to feel unreal.

Even if I had mentally prepared myself beforehand, it still happened.

"To be precise, it's a Kun corpse."

Before Lin Shu could speak, Qin Lang continued:

"Judging from the various arrangements in Li Yu's residence, we can tell that his master has been raising Kun corpses for the past few decades."

"We don't know when this insect corpse came back to life—maybe a year ago, maybe recently."

"But we can be certain that it has already acquired the ability to kill, and Li Yu is the first victim."

"So, has Li Yu told you about these things?"

"......have."

Lin Shu nodded slowly.

Since the other party has already laid their cards on the table, there's no need for me to continue hiding anything.

"He mentioned the Kun corpse, but I didn't take it seriously."

"On the one hand, I don't think the Kun corpse is real."

"On the other hand, even if it were true, I don't think he would be stupid enough to go back to find that Kun corpse—he vaguely hinted that he was not capable of dealing with that thing."

"Yes, that's our assessment as well."

Qin Lang nodded.

"He is completely incapable of dealing with the Kun Corpse."

"We found many signs of his...resistance at the scene."

"For example, we found fragments of General Bai Yi's talisman, traces left by his Iron Enclosure Spell, and cinnabar from the Five Thunder Fire Spell..."

"However, none of these spells worked."

"His procedure for performing the spell was wrong—in essence, the spells he used were all fake and useless."

"But in his final moments, he still chose to fight to the death."

"It's a pity he failed... but that doesn't matter."

Qin Lang changed the subject and continued to ask:

"Do you know why he went back to look for that Kun corpse?"

"Does this have anything to do with you?"

Lin Shu was stunned for a moment.

Why go back?

No, is this the important point?

There's a killer corpse active in western Hunan right now!

Shouldn't you consider how to kill this corpse first?

Instead of considering that, you're concerned about why Li Yu went back?

"...I know why he went back, but I'd like to know why you're asking this."

"Isn't your primary objective to eliminate the Kun Corpse?"

"The Kun corpse is a minor problem."

Qin Lang waved his hand.

"The strength of the Kun Corpse is relative to that of ordinary people."

"But it is still a physical entity in the traditional sense. If we bring over a 155mm howitzer and vaporize it with one shot, how can it still harm people?"

"We already have people dealing with that Kun corpse... Now we're more concerned with things that can't be handled within the traditional rules."

...This world has gone mad.

Lin Shu's eyes widened in disbelief—when the "physical side" and the "mystical side" were combined in this way, Lin Shu suddenly felt that her worldview had been shaken once again...

"So you knew?"

Qin Lang noticed Lin Shu's expression and then asked:

"Do you know why he wanted to go back?"

"I know."

Lin Shu sighed.

"He wants to go back, most likely because he wants to control that Kun corpse."

"Just as we judged."

Qin Lang nodded slightly.

His expression held a hint of relief, but hidden behind that relief was a sudden increase in pressure.

"He wants to use the Kun Corpse to deal with something, right?"

Did he mention what those things were? Or did he hint at them in his words?

Qin Lang's speech became slightly more rapid, and even Lin Shu could tell that this was the key issue they were investigating.
