Brother-in-law, be normal!
Chapter 4 A Shocking Suicide
The girl was still somewhat reserved.
She looked at the tall, nearly 170cm tall, dashing short-haired woman, but didn't have the courage to go up and ask her anything.
Xu Qianyan glanced sideways at Lu Wuxin, wanting Lu Wuxin, an adult, to ask him.
But Lu Wuxin had already picked up his phone and was grinning foolishly.
"Honey, Lao Zhang has threatened me. I have to stay in this C-level area for a few days."
"It might be inconvenient for me to take care of you during this time..."
Xu Qianyan frowned slightly.
After all, the phone Lu Wuxin had placed next to his ear... wasn't turned on...
"Hmm? Honey, you came here?!"
"Hehe, you're so kind~!"
Lu Wuxin had just hung up the phone.
A woman wearing a mint-green top and a gray long skirt, whose face bore a striking resemblance to Xu Qianyan, appeared at the street corner.
"No faith, I'm here! Qianyan is here too~!"
"Oh, Yiyan, you're here! That was quick!"
Lu Wuxin immediately went over and took Xu Yiyan's hand.
"Honey, I love you. This is the 5101st time I've confessed my love!"
"Ugh~!"
The two of them were just being affectionate there.
Seeing Lu Wuxin pouting while hugging thin air, Xu Qianyan's brows furrowed into a frown.
The girl couldn't help but look away, fighting back tears, feeling both annoyed and wronged.
"Even if my sister could fly, she couldn't possibly be this fast..."
She glanced again at Lu Wuxin, whose mind was completely elsewhere, and closed her eyes in distress.
Unfaithful is still unfaithful...
That moment of reliability last night felt like a dream...
Ever since my sister left... it's been like this...
"That's enough... Why won't they just move on..."
If we don't get this money... the firm will go bankrupt...
firm...
That's a business that my brother-in-law and sister run together...
The girl raised her hand to press her eyes, and after a moment, she looked at the tall woman in the trench coat with a determined gaze.
She gritted her teeth and walked over.
……
At this moment, Fifth Fish, a police officer from the Miscellaneous Affairs Division, was getting information from the patrol officers maintaining order.
"You're saying the supernatural beings don't dare go near the Luoheng Building? Why?"
Hearing Fifth Fish's words, Xu Qianyan clutched her clothes tightly, unconsciously adopting an inward-pointing gait, and timidly began to speak, "Um... I'm from the Xincheng Supernatural Abilities Agency..."
"Could I ask you... about... where the core radiation source in this field is located...?"
Fifth Fish was slightly stunned.
Looking at the girl who, despite her face being obscured by a baseball cap, exuded undeniable cuteness, she gently asked, "Were you sent by your boss to inquire about this?"
Xu Qianyan nodded nervously.
Fifth Fish reached out and lifted the brim of her hat.
The girl was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head.
However, Fifth Fish still managed to see her face clearly.
She had snow-white skin, delicate features, a small cherry-like mouth, and large eyes.
He also has sharp facial features that don't match his shy personality; if he becomes a little braver in the future, he will look extremely handsome.
"What a beautiful child! Is he/she an adult yet?"
"18..."
"Oh, you're already a D-rank? Only 18 and already a D-rank? That speed, even nationwide, is genius-level!"
Fifth Fish put the hat back on Xu Qianyan's head.
"Although this field has been upgraded to C-level, you can still manage at D-level."
"Come on, since you want to know where the core radiation source is, I happen to have a clue. Let's do a mission together!"
Fifth Fish was very confident and wanted to take Xu Qianyan with him to solve this problem.
She was, after all, a B-level ability user, and dealing with C-level abilities was a piece of cake for her.
"Really!?" Xu Qianyan was very excited.
She was proud of the opportunity she had fought for with courage.
Moreover, with this policewoman around, there's nothing to fear about danger.
……
Night had just fallen.
A sliver of sunset glow lingered on the horizon, giving the sky a deep blue hue.
Fifth Fish brought Xu Qianyan to the vicinity of the Luoheng Building.
This is the tallest building in Xicheng District.
"As expected, there's nothing strange about it..." Fifth Fish said, looking at the clean street.
"Xu Xiao, did your school teach you about the different possible causes of this situation in the realm of the supernatural?"
Xu Qianyan thought for a moment, "Three kinds... the deterrent effect of a powerful being, the range restriction of magical artifacts... and also, the strange territorial effect of a Boss-level being..."
She subconsciously looked up at the Luoheng Building, which was over 300 meters tall and whose rooftop blended into the night.
...Is there some kind of eerie boss here?
Just as she was thinking this...
A black dot suddenly appeared between the dark sky and the buildings.
Snapped--
A slender body fell from the building and landed right in front of Xu Qianyan.
The sound of bones breaking sent shivers down the girl's spine.
Large swaths of red flowed across the asphalt road.
In Xu Qianyan's dazed vision, all that remained was a head of black hair twisted into a braid, with visible white, fragile limbs and a bloodied, mangled face...
That can no longer be called human.
The girl's face was deathly pale.
Despite her experience hunting strange creatures, this was the first time she had ever witnessed such a gruesome scene of dead bodies.
"A fall has occurred at the Luoheng Building. The deceased possessed a spiritual energy point within their body, indicating they were a Class C esper! Please dispatch personnel!"
While communicating with her colleagues, Fifth Fish checked on the deceased's condition.
"There was no trace of strange power remaining on her, so she wasn't pushed down by something strange."
It took Xu Qianyan a long time to regain her senses. She asked timidly, "Then... how did she die?"
"If she wasn't pushed down while fighting the supernatural entity... then she must have accidentally fallen... But how could a C-level ability user make such a basic mistake?" Fifth Fish was very puzzled.
At that moment, five people walked out of an abandoned coffee shop across the street.
One of the red-haired girls saw Xu Qianyan and said coldly, "Oh, isn't this our school beauty Xu? What's wrong, scared out of your wits?"
Xu Qianyan turned around in a daze.
When she saw the person approaching, she instinctively lowered her head and pulled her hat brim down, clearly not wanting to see them.
The person who came was her classmate, one of the few she didn't get along with the most.
"You've never seen anything like this before," another blonde female classmate laughed.
The other two boys joined in the mockery in an attempt to curry favor with them.
Xu Qianyan didn't say anything. She was usually quite withdrawn in class and not good at dealing with them.
The fifth person was their class teacher. She looked at the introverted Xu Qianyan and sighed with slight disappointment.
Then she said to Fifth Fish, "We've been around the Luoheng Building all day, and this is the fifth superhuman we've seen jumping off the building."
"If it happened once or twice, it might be an accident, but so many times, it can't be."
The female teacher's words made Fifth Fish think of a possibility.
"You mean... there's some kind of strange rule within the Luoheng Building that causes these superhumans to jump off the building uncontrollably?"
The female teacher crossed her arms and said, "Yes."
"And it can even make a C-level ability user commit suicide... to create such bizarre rules... its level isn't low!"
