When you encounter a weasel on the road asking for a title, appoint it as the Jade Emperor.

A special vehicle from the municipal bureau was already waiting at the foot of the mountain.

Chen Jun personally drove the first special car.

Hu Yunshan opened the car door for Zhang Chuyu.

Zhang Chuyu didn't stand on ceremony and got into the car directly.

As the vehicle moves.

He asked directly.

"Director Hu, please tell me in detail what exactly happened."

Hearing Zhang Chuyu's question.

Hu Yunshan pondered for a moment, then sighed.

"This story begins more than twenty days ago."

"On that day, the municipal bureau suddenly received an alert from its subordinates that a major criminal case had occurred at the Phoenix Bathhouse in the western suburbs."

"This resulted in the deaths of fifteen women who had fallen into prostitution within the bathhouse."

"This kind of criminal case hasn't happened in Tan City for a long time, so the city police took it very seriously and immediately set up a team to investigate this murder case."

"I also personally went to the scene to oversee things, and mobilized a lot of personnel."

"But...we investigated for five consecutive days and found absolutely no clues or traces, and all the surveillance footage in the surrounding area didn't show any suspicious individuals!"

"No, to be precise, three minutes of all the surveillance footage went missing that night! There was no editing, no interference whatsoever, as if time had been frozen! Not a single clue was left at the scene!"

"Only in one of the victims did we see a...black lotus flower!"

As he spoke, Hu Yunshan pulled out a stack of documents that he had prepared in advance.

The first page opened.

There is only one picture on this page!

In this picture, a black lotus flower made of human blood suddenly appears on a girl's back!

Compared to the mess and cruelty at the scene, it was the complete opposite.

Black lotus...

Zhang Chuyu's lips twitched.

Damn, what era are we living in? Why are they still doing this kind of thing?

I don't understand, but I respect it.

Hu Yunshan continued: "At first, we didn't pay much attention to the black lotus, but then, on the sixth day, the Municipal Bureau received another report of a major case."

"This time it's an apartment building housing troubled teenage girls! Nine women of the same type have died!"

"And just like before, all the surveillance footage mysteriously disappeared for a few minutes. We even brought in technical experts from the provincial capital, but they still couldn't find the specific reason why the footage disappeared..."

"There were no clues at the scene, no signs of anyone else entering, and we had absolutely no idea whether the killer was male or female, old or young! The only thing that was the same... was that this time, we found that same black lotus flower again around the corner of the scene..."

"By this point, we realized something was wrong, but nobody knew exactly what was going on... For the next ten days or so, we kept receiving similar cases... until one week ago, we finally noticed something amiss!"

"That was a video taken by a victim before they died!"

"The video was recovered using our technical means. Although it was only a few seconds long, at my level, I know things that ordinary police officers don't. From this video... I could tell that this was definitely not an ordinary murder case."

As Hu Yunshan spoke, he turned to the next page of the document, which contained a video composed of several consecutive photos.

The video is very short, but a strange human face appears in the picture!

The person's face was somewhat distorted and completely suspended in mid-air.

However, this kind of method is simply not something a living person could do.

Zhang Chuyu recognized it at a glance; it was at least a vengeful ghost.

Only a ghost of this level can influence reality under specific circumstances and be captured by a mobile phone.

Of course, ordinary people have no chance of survival if they encounter a ghost of this level.

"After that, I reported the case to the provincial capital of Nanjiang, and two investigators were dispatched from the provincial capital."

Zhang Chuyu then saw the photos of the two of them.

"Huh!? It's him!"

Zhang Chuyu was slightly surprised when she saw the figure in the photo.

One of them... wasn't it the one I left from apartment number 81 that day?

Was it the middle-aged man you encountered when you rescued a mother and daughter?

His name seems to be something like Sun Yuan.

Zhang Chuyu still had a good impression of him.

This person was also the first cultivator he encountered besides himself.

I heard back then that this guy worked at the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Unexpectedly, the investigators were from the provincial capital.

Zhang Chuyu had a pretty good impression of Sun Yuan.

The fact that he was able to save people without any hesitation on that day already shows his character.

"Master, do you know Investigator Sun?"

Hu Yunshan also noticed that Zhang Chuyu's gaze was fixed on Sun Yuan's photo.

Some people asked out of curiosity.

Zhang Chuyu nodded: "We've met once before, please continue."

Hu Yunshan sighed again.

"Actually, there's nothing much after that. Ever since the day before yesterday, when the two investigators discovered that Liu Hong was also the killer's target, but the matter in Liu Hong's family was resolved by you, Master, they guessed that the killer was definitely not going to let it go."

"So after Liu Hong left the Municipal Bureau, I followed her to the hotel where she was staying. It was in the early hours of that night that the incident happened again."

"According to our officers at the time, Liu Hong seemed to have made some noise before she died, which alerted two investigators. However, when the two investigators arrived at Liu Hong's room, she had already been murdered, and the murderer was no longer there."

"But the two investigators seemed to have found some clues about the murderer and went straight to him. They eventually disappeared at the Eighth Middle School in the southern suburbs and have not been heard from since."

Regarding Liu Hong's death.

Zhang Chuyu wasn't surprised at all.

I told her to run as far as she could and not stay still for even a moment.

Perhaps he can still save his life.

Unexpectedly, the woman didn't leave that day.

Moreover, that person was determined to have Liu Hong, and he made his move that very night.

They left her absolutely no way out.

"Master...this incident is quite dangerous. Are you confident in your abilities?"

Chen Jun, who had been driving without saying a word, also spoke up at this moment.

This is also what Hu Yunshan wanted to ask.

Zhang Chuyu understood their thoughts and simply nodded and smiled.

"Don't worry, I'm confident in that."

Sun Yuan, whom I met that day, was quite strong.

But I was pretty much the same as I was back then.

And now.

In just a few days, his strength has increased dramatically compared to before.

He has already broken through from the acquired level to the fifth level of the innate level.

Add to that the max-level Golden Light Divine Mantra and Heavenly Talisman.

Unless the murderer is above the Innate Realm, killing him wouldn't be difficult!

Even those who are above the innate level.

If Zhang Chuyu goes all out, the outcome is still uncertain.

As for danger?

It doesn't even exist.

His Perfect Golden Light Divine Mantra is all about defense, and it's definitely stronger than his attack!
