Suddenly, she seemed to see the junior's face and wanted to go forward, but she saw the figure quickly disappear into the bright red room.
Is she going to die here?
Lu Zhao squatted helplessly on the spot, looking at the only spot at his feet that was not stained with blood, and tears fell silently down his face.
One drop, two drops...
Until a pair of seemingly ordinary sneakers came into her view.
Through her teary eyes, she looked up, following the straight legs upwards. When her gaze met those eyes that seemed to hold the stars and the sea, her mind went blank for a moment.
“Lu Zhao,” the man called her name softly. Under the glaring light, he leaned down and extended his hand to her. “Come with me.”
She instinctively gripped the person's hand tightly, like a drowning person grabbing onto the last piece of driftwood, staring intently into the other person's eyes, and followed her step by step out of the room.
With a loud "bang," the door behind her slammed shut. Startled, she glanced back instinctively, but when she turned back, the person was nowhere to be seen.
Just as she was looking around in a panic, she heard a cheerful voice calling out, "Ah Zhao! Come here quickly!"
Lu Zhao turned her head and saw Xia Zhifei smiling and waving at her, with Messiah Song Lingge, Li Manqiu and Chi Ying standing behind her.
She unconsciously curled her lips into a smile and walked towards them.
Outside the dream, Bai Yan, who had been standing guard by her bedside, tilted her "head" and watched as Lu Zhao's expression gradually relaxed from being covered in sweat. Just as she was about to reach out her "hand" to touch her, she suddenly turned away.
The next second, Bai Yan flashed to the doorway and slammed his fist into the wall in front of it—
With a muffled groan, Xin Xia emerged from the wall carrying Duan Yue, then suddenly knelt on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Uncle Xin!" Duan Yue was so frightened that she rushed over to check, then glanced in alarm at the faceless humanoid flame in front of her. Her lips were pursed tightly as she stood up and blocked Xin Xia's path. "You're not allowed to hit him!"
Perhaps not expecting Duan Yue to be there, Bai Yan's figure swayed for a moment, confronted Duan Yue for a while, and then consciously dissipated into the air.
Seeing that the other party had dispersed, Duan Yue turned around anxiously, "Uncle Xin, are you alright?"
Xin Xia glanced at her with a complicated expression, then forced herself to stand up straight and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
He hadn't expected that there was such a person in Lu Zhao's family; he had been careless.
Just then, the bedroom door on the second floor opened, and Lu Zhao, who had been forcibly awakened by Bai Yan, walked out rubbing his head uncomfortably. When he saw the two people standing in the entryway, he was taken aback. "Xiao Yue?"
"Mom!" Duan Yue's eyes lit up, and she quickly ran up the stairs and happily jumped into her arms.
Lu Zhao picked her up in high spirits and turned to thank Xin Xia, only to find that she had unknowingly slipped back into the wall and disappeared from her sight.
This person really does come and go without a trace.
She noticed the pool of blood on the ground and frowned deeply.
To be honest, even now, she still feels a little scared when she sees this thing.
"Mom, someone hit Uncle Xin!" Duan Yue immediately began to complain, "It was a white figure, I couldn't see what it looked like."
Her heart skipped a beat as she felt a surge of consciousness from the depths of her heart. She sighed helplessly, carefully carried Duan Yue downstairs, and placed her on the sofa.
"Xiaoyue," she thought for a moment, then reached out and rubbed the child's head, "Mommy accidentally hurt him just now. Uncle Xin might be angry with Mommy now, so when he picks you up later, remember to apologize for Mommy, okay?"
Duan Yue blinked, trying hard to digest the meaning behind Lu Zhao's words.
Is that white-clad figure Mom?
"Hmm..." She hesitated for a moment, her little brows furrowing deeply. "Okay, but Mom, please don't hit Uncle Xin next time. He's a very nice person and often brings me delicious food!"
Lu Zhao smiled and said, "Yes, Mom will definitely not lay a hand on him next time."
As he spoke, he took out a tissue and went over to wipe the bloodstain clean.
Although she was still a little uncomfortable, she felt much better now compared to the overwhelming feeling of suffocation she had before going to sleep.
Did you dream about something just now?
Lu Zhao casually tossed the tissue into the trash can and patted her head uncomfortably. She wondered if she had been giving herself these suggestions for too long, but she did feel like she was starting to forget things.
Duan Yue jumped off the sofa and cautiously looked up at her. "Mom, are you in a bad mood?"
Lu Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then heard her continue, "Sister Li said you were in a bad mood and asked me to come and keep you company. Now that I'm here, are you feeling any better?"
Eh?
How could Li Manqiu know that she was in a bad mood?
Before she could figure it out, Duan Yue suddenly pounced on her lap.
"Alright, alright," Lu Zhao felt his heart melt instantly and immediately picked her up. "With you here, Mom feels much better!"
"Really?" A single hair sticks up on Duan Yue's head.
She found it amusing, reached out and fiddled with the tuft of hair, her eyes crinkling into a smile, "Well, because Mommy loves Xiaoyue the most."
Although she was mistaken for her mother at a young age, Lu Zhao felt pretty good about it. She and Xiao Yue were destined to be together, and since they both had fire-type abilities, they naturally felt closer to each other. So... she might as well be a mother!
but……
"You call me Mom and Uncle Xin Xia, but why do you call me Sister Li Manqiu? Isn't that a generational difference?"
Goodness, even someone as aloof as Li Manqiu was addressed as a junior by Duan Yue, which made Lu Zhao feel quite embarrassed.
Duan Yue tilted her head, puzzled, and said, "Sister Li is very beautiful!"
She couldn't help but chuckle and pinched the child's cheek again, "Okay!"
If she likes to look at beautiful women at such a young age, what will she be like when she grows up?
Holding Duan Yue, Lu Zhao sat on the sofa and watched TV for a while. He remembered that he hadn't called Li Manqiu to let her know. Just as he picked up the phone, someone called him.
"Hey, Messiah," she asked cheerfully, "any progress on the mission...wait, did Chen Shangquan confess?"
What happened while she was slacking off?
Chapter 111 The Result
Chen Shang confessed everything under the young lady's "torture and interrogation".
Lu Zhao listened to the man wailing on the other end of the phone, and with a hint of disgust, he moved the phone away a little. He then looked back at Xiaoyue, who was watching TV obediently in the living room, before whispering, "Don't tell me you called specifically to let me hear him cry."
She made up an excuse to run to the kitchen to make the phone call.
Messiah chuckled on the other end of the phone, "Okay, I'll send you his interrogation records right away."
Why didn't you do this earlier? Why did you have to make her listen to a grown man cry?
Lu Zhao was left confused after the call was disconnected. He stood in the kitchen for a while before he saw a picture sent by Messiah.
"Multi-talented?" She looked at the keyword above in surprise, her mouth slightly agape.
How could an ordinary Elven race member, who hasn't even entered the game's storyline, possess such abilities that clearly belong to a protagonist?
Multitalent, as the name suggests, refers to a person possessing multiple abilities simultaneously.
Regarding this, Lu Zhao strongly suspected that the production team referenced the setting of a certain superpower animation.
However, such cases are extremely rare. Only two or three people in the world have been found to possess similar powers, but these individuals are all of the lowest-ranking D-level spirit race, and possess no more than three abilities.
Later, scientists also studied this and concluded that the multi-talented spirit race accounts for one in twenty thousand of the world's spirit races. Moreover, because such spirit races cannot simultaneously control multiple abilities, they cannot break through to level C due to physical limitations.
To put it more simply, a D-rank multi-talented spirit can have a maximum of three abilities, a C-rank spirit can have a maximum of two, and it's impossible to go any higher.
This Chen Shang is ranked C. One of his abilities is sword transformation, so he can only have one more ability at most, and there can never be three.
And that is indeed the case. In addition to transforming into a sword, Chen Shang has another ability called Extreme Speed.
Hmm... Although it shares the same name as those speedsters in DC Comics, Chen Shang's speed is definitely not as fast as those overpowered characters in the comics.
With his C-level physical attributes, this ability only allows him to run at a maximum speed of fifty kilometers per hour. Although it doesn't seem very high, it is still much faster than the human limit.
Bolt's 100-meter sprint speed is less than 45 kilometers per hour, which means this person can run at a slightly faster speed than Bolt for one or two hours, which is already quite amazing.
As for how he managed to burrow into the ground, that's up to another member of the Spirit Clan present at the scene, Chen Le.
Chen Le's ability is to control the land, which is similar to the earth-type woman she encountered in the mall who fought against the second team. However, her level is only C, so the form she displays is slightly weaker.
With her help, Chen Shang entered the earth directly, waiting for them to find him.
Therefore, the order in which all of this happened should be:
Xing Yu's roommate left the rented house at noon the day before. Chen Shang came to the house and killed Xing Yu. Afterwards, he called Chen Le over and wanted her to help dispose of the body.
However, Chen Le refused and, under threat from Chen Shang, accidentally stepped on the bloodstains in the bedroom.
Afterwards, she tried to disappear underground, but for some reason she reappeared. The two faced off in the house for a while before leaving a trail of bloody footprints.
This is why there are no footprints along the path from the bedroom to the living room.
Later, for some reason, Chen Le chose to compromise. She told Chen Shang that she would be meeting a customer in the afternoon, and if Chen Shang was willing, she could give him the customer's information to help him delay the police investigation. Then, he could use this time to escape.
Chen Shang agreed. After Chen Le led her back to his home, he asked her to temporarily grant him the ability to burrow underground for one day, so that once he successfully left Yongling City, no one could find him.
After that, although Chen Le hesitated, he still lent him his abilities for the time being.
Then, he killed Chen Le and went underground, hoping to escape, but he discovered that the power Chen Le had lent him gradually dissipated after her death.
He was trapped underground.
If Lu Zhao and the others hadn't arrived in time, Chen Le's abilities would have completely disappeared in a few hours, and he would have died.
So after hearing their voices from the ground, Chen Shang made a risky decision: to pretend he knew nothing and let them rescue him.
During this time, he did try to escape, but when he saw that the leader was the infamous Lu Zhao, he dared not move and was obediently taken back to the Bureau of Spirits.
Before confessing, he had been hoping they could connect Xing Yu's death with Chen Le.
Looking back now, it was nothing short of a self-destructive act; his fate was sealed the moment he was found.
Next, Lu Zhao received another document with elegant and refined handwriting, clearly written by Xia Zhifei.
She said that if nothing unexpected happens, Chen Le and Chen Shang should be half-siblings, so Chen Le actually has a second ability, which is transfer.
Because 99.9% of the spirit race in this world cannot transfer their abilities to others. Even if someone's ability can be transferred, they need to have more than two abilities to do so.
So it's quite rare to find a brother and sister who are both multi-talented.
They simply didn't use their energy in the right way.
After Lu Zhao saw the report and remained silent for a moment, he immediately received a call from the police.
The conclusion reached by the other side was similar to what they had found out during their interrogation: Chen Shang was the murderer who killed Xing Yu and Chen Le. The wounds on Xing Yu and the Yoshikawa lines on Chen Le's neck showed that they were killed by him.
