Evil Immortal!

In the dead of night, Meng Yuan, who was fast asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.

Because he heard strange noises coming from next door.

The sound suggests someone is eating, and they're swallowing and chewing large mouthfuls, almost wolfing it down...

The problem is, my sister's room is next door...

He was startled, got up, put on his clothes, and knocked on his sister's door.

When the door opened, Meng Yu glanced at him but didn't say anything.

"Little Taro, was there any noise coming from your room just now?"

Meng Yuan asked, glancing at the room behind him.

The room was dimly lit, but the moonlight streaming in through the window made it easy to see that it was clean, simple, and tidy, with nothing superfluous inside.

Meng Yu remained silent, only nodding slightly.

Meng Yuan was taken aback. "Did you make that noise?"

Meng Yu thought for a moment, then nodded hesitantly.

"???"

Meng Yuan was puzzled, somewhat like Louis XVI, completely baffled. His younger sister was always well-behaved and sensible, never lying, so she wouldn't deceive him.

"That sound just now was...?"

Meng Yuan tried to continue asking questions, but Meng Yu remained silent.

Seeing this, Meng Yuan could only silently return to his room, filled with questions.

The next day, Meng Yuan got up early.

My younger sister, Mengyu, has already made a whole basket of stuffed pancakes.

Now that Meng Yuan is not short of money, the brother and sister are living a better life.

The pancakes were filled with a mixture of pork cracklings and dried wild vegetables, and then fried in lard until golden brown on both sides, making them very fragrant.

Meng Yuan had a big appetite and ate seven or eight stuffed pancakes in one go before wiping his mouth and going to his patrol duty with satisfaction.

It's great to have a skillful and good-cooking younger sister. I just wonder which lucky bastard will be able to marry such a sensible and considerate girl like his sister.

As soon as they pushed open the courtyard gate, they found two yamen runners with long swords at their waists at Old Man Chen's house across the street. They were asking Old Man Chen's son something with serious expressions.

Old Chen's son looked pale and somewhat frightened. He hurriedly explained, "My lords, I don't know either. Last night I clearly tied up my father's body and even gagged him. There was no way he could have escaped."

"By the way, the rope is broken; someone must have cut it!"

The constable, however, didn't believe it. "The body is right there in your yard. Who would be so bored as to do such a thing?"

"Yeah, you're not being honest... Tell the truth, did you secretly bury the body yourself?"

"I...I'm innocent, Your Honor!"

"Alright... enough nonsense, let's go to the yamen!"

......

Old Chen's body has disappeared?!

Even after leaving the city, Meng Yuan was still thinking about this matter.

Since the lunar eclipse occurred two hundred years ago, demonic pollution has spread to all parts of the world, and evil spirits have run rampant, with demons dancing wildly.

This also makes corpses prone to reanimation and the breeding of evil spirits.

This is especially true in places like mass graves, where the yin and evil energy is concentrated; these are the places where the most corpses and evil spirits are bred.

The wandering corpses, iron corpses, skinned ghosts, and water-poisoned creatures in the wild are mostly corpses that have been corrupted and mutated by demonic energy.

This is also the main reason why the Da Mu government encouraged people to cremate their bodies.

Meng Yuan, however, felt that Old Chen's son was not lying.

Because this guy has always been timid and cowardly, he has no reason to do such a thing.

Furthermore, under normal circumstances, although Old Man Chen is dead and was a polluter, he has only been dead for a short time. Even if his body were to turn into a zombie, it wouldn't be so quick for him to become an evil spirit.

But the problem is that Old Chen's body has disappeared!

Clearly, something's fishy about this!

For some reason, Meng Yuan suddenly felt that the death of Old Man Chen and the disappearance of his body seemed too coincidental.

And then he suddenly remembered the strange noises coming from his sister's room last night...

......

After the hour of Mao (5-7 AM), Meng Yuan, as usual, went to patrol the riverbank.

Once he was alone, he secretly changed his clothes, donning a large black robe that completely covered him, and returned to Black Sand City, heading straight for the east side of the city.

After walking along the street for a while, Meng Yuan noticed two men standing in front of the casino on the street ahead, and they looked somewhat familiar.

These two men were clearly the same two attendants who were with Chen Bao last time.

Meng Yuan simply hid in an inconspicuous corner near the casino, quietly waiting for his chance.

Meng Yuan naturally wouldn't forget the time he borrowed money from Chen Bao.

Now he intends to resolve this matter.

As for whether his behavior was somewhat inconsiderate or immoral...

Meng Yuan hadn't forgotten that someone had been secretly watching him recently, and Chen Bao was clearly planning to use some tricks to make him "disappear" without cause.

Those who had been watching him disappeared only after he became the deputy head of the river patrol team.

Chen Bao, a low-ranking member of the Green Snake Gang, is ruthless and vicious.

In order to amass wealth for the Green Snake Gang, they would set up schemes to seize the houses and land of the elderly and widowed, and lure people into gambling, ultimately causing them to lose all their money and forcing their wives, children, and elderly parents to pay off debts, resulting in many families being ruined and destroyed...

Trying to reason with this kind of person about rules and morality is something only an idiot would do!

Meng Yuan himself wasn't afraid of anything, but the key was that his sister was always at home, and he wouldn't leave such a hidden danger for Meng Yu.

Now that we have the strength, we should take this opportunity to eliminate them.

Besides, if he remembers correctly...

Chen Bao's Green Snake Gang has something else that can trigger a hidden storyline related to the famous Qilao Mountain. It's a side story with many benefits to be discovered.

This is one of the few opportunities in Black Sand City!

In his previous life, it was obtained by a professional player from a studio. Not only did the player seize the opportunity and grow rapidly, becoming a well-known expert among players, but the equipment and job change skill books he obtained during that time were also sold for hundreds of thousands of yuan, making him a fortune, which Meng Yuan envied for a long time.

Since the player hasn't arrived yet, no one will steal this opportunity, so he can easily get there first.

As for what to do with that professional player in the future?

What's it to him!

More than an hour later, Chen Bao, whom Meng Yuan had been longing to see, finally came out of the casino with a smile on his face, seemingly having made quite a haul. He called out to his men, and the two men guarding the door quickly followed.

Meng Yuan followed behind the three without making a sound.

Soon after, Chen Bao arrived at the outside of a spacious courtyard. After knocking on the door, a woman with some good looks opened it for him. Chen Bao grabbed her and, laughing and joking, led her into the courtyard.

Meng Yuan climbed over the wall and hid in a corner to observe silently. He saw that the woman had already prepared wine and food and was inviting the three of them to drink and eat.

Clearly, the woman was Chen Bao's mistress, and this courtyard was where Chen Bao kept her as a kept woman.
