Si Qingxuan slept in Lin Chu's apartment overnight.

Unexpectedly, he slept very peacefully that night.Although there were still grotesque images in his dreams, he slept very deeply, and when he woke up, he was completely exhausted.

In contrast to him is Lin Chu.He was frightened repeatedly last night, and his world view was trampled on again. Even though he was exhausted to death, he still appeared the next day with blue and black panda eyes, clearly not sleeping well.

On the table in the living room were two cups of freshly brewed coffee and Si Qingxuan's "Galigula's Sword".The sword didn't have a scabbard, and it just released a faint cold light that symbolized danger.

Si Qingxuan briefly explained to Lin Chu what happened yesterday.Of course, things like systems and engravings are hidden.

After hearing this, Lin Chu took out his mobile phone in surprise and searched for "Galigula's Sword"—and found that the best imitation of it was placed in a museum, and the rest were scattered in collections all over the world. In the hands of the family, each piece was auctioned for a sky-high price.

"Is this also a fake?" Lin Chu said hesitantly.

【The real thing at a fair price!Even the mummy that comes with the sword is Galigula himself! 】

It must be genuine.

There will be no Galigula's "talent engraving" on the imitation.

"This sword is so powerful that it can even exorcise evil spirits." Lin Chu took a light breath, raised his head and said, "Your grandfather is really amazing, you can get such things."

……yes.

It was as if he had expected that today would happen, so he specially chose the most compatible and powerful engraving for Si Qingxuan.

The two were silent for a moment.

In the end, Lin Chuxian succumbed to his instinct—or the habit of taking care of Si Qingxuan like an old mother—he stroked his hair that was tied in the back of his head, and said, "Eat breakfast first. I'll go out and buy some, if you want What?"

"I'm not hungry." Si Qingxuan didn't lie. He is not only full of energy, but also has inexplicably improved his physical strength. "It's you, please ask for leave today."

Lin Chu raised his cup and took a sip of coffee, pressed the center of his brows, and said, "Today, two long-distance consultation clients just made an appointment. I'm going to turn it down. What we encountered last night was too evil, it's best not to Hurting them."

After speaking, Lin Chu turned to Si Qingxuan with some anxiety: "You said, is this matter really over?"

It depends on whether the other party is willing to stop.Si Qingxuan thought.

[The other party can drive a D-level phase ghost, theoretically it should be a more advanced C-level human awakener, or an intelligent strange creature.The latter is often trickier than the former. 】

[Ah, I forgot to explain a basic concept to you - human society calls gifted human beings "awakened people", and ghosts, such strange creatures that harm the world, are collectively called "disasters".The ratings of the Awakened and the Disaster are from the lowest E level to the highest S level.It is worth mentioning that all awakened people who are out of control will also be included in the list of 'disasters'. 】

Si Qingxuan listened to its explanation quietly, and felt that the former self and the present self seemed to live in two worlds.

What it said, Si Qingxuan had never heard of it.

[Think about how to deal with the enemy.With your current combat power, you can deal with C-level disasters, but there are so many strange things in the world, and you can't just judge them by level. 】

"The most important thing now is to reveal the opponent's hole cards without overturning the car." Si Qingxuan said.

Lin Chu was taken aback: "Then where do you want to start?"

"Is the ghost who possessed the woman in the black skirt already dead?" Si Qingxuan asked the system.

【Yes.The dead can no longer die.But when it died last night, it didn't leave a skin. The skin should have been recovered in time by the ghost's controller.In other words, the lady's body should have been horrible. 】

Si Qingxuan frowned subconsciously.

Sure enough, they were quickly called to the police station again.

The familiar police station, the familiar record process, and even the policemen who questioned them were the two yesterday.

"You two haven't got off work yet?" Lin Chu asked, "It's been a night."

The older male police officer pointed to the goji berries in the cup, saying that he could still hold on.The young police officer who had questioned Si Qingxuan and the others before had reddened eyes, and looked at them more cautiously, as if he was looking at some potential perverted murderer—it could be seen that he really wanted to learn from Si Qingxuan and Lin Chu. Asking what clues came out of his mouth, but he was afraid of scaring the snake, so don't mention how entangled he looked.

"Sorry, I called you two here mainly to ask, where were you between twelve o'clock last night and two o'clock in the morning?"

"..." Lin Chu's expression instantly collapsed.

Two o'clock in the morning last night?He is playing chase with the ghost!

Fortunately, he called Si Qingxuan for help in time, so he summoned Si Qingxuan from the bathtub in his house with a mysterious summoning technique, and Si Qingxuan killed the ghost with his sword.

The problem is that these experiences are completely unspeakable!After he said it, people either thought he was making up a story, or that he was suffering from a disease!

The two police officers noticed the subtlety of Lin Chu's expression, and they wanted to find a breakthrough point from him, but Si Qingxuan on the side suddenly said: "I stayed at his house last night. From twelve o'clock to two o'clock in the morning , none of us left the apartment."

Lin Chu nodded after hearing the words.

This kind of thing is easy to verify, as long as you call the surveillance camera downstairs in the apartment, you will know.

Thinking of this, Lin Chu's back stiffened, and he looked at Si Qingxuan in embarrassment—

They did not go out during the early hours of the morning.But yesterday he was calling people out of the bathtub.That is to say, if you switch the monitoring forward for a few hours, you will find that the camera has no record of Si Qingxuan entering the apartment at all!

Last night, Si Qingxuan went back to live at his home, but walked out of Lin Chu's apartment during the day... This is completely unreasonable!

Si Qingxuan glanced at Lin Chu, telling him not to panic.

"If necessary, you can call surveillance to prove that we are not lying."

The more at this time, the less timid you can be.

Since Si Qingxuan talked about this, he naturally seemed full of confidence.

The young police officer sitting across from him gave him a serious look, and left his seat to make a phone call. It seemed that he was really calling for surveillance.

Taking advantage of his absence, Lin Chu hurriedly said to the middle-aged police officer who looked kinder: "Well, comrade policeman, may I ask why you called us here again today?"

The middle-aged policeman didn't hesitate and sighed: "You two are really unlucky... The female patient you met before had an accident again."

Lin Chu was a little puzzled.People are dead, what else can happen?

He wanted to ask more questions, but this time the police officer just shook his head and didn't reveal any information.

Presumably the police have discovered the abnormal event that happened to the woman in the black dress.It's just that the information they obtained from their investigation will not be shared with Lin Chu who are sitting in the recording room at the moment.

"Are you talking about the skinning of the female corpse in the funeral parlor?"

The black-haired young man sitting on the chair with a very upright posture said aloud, his tone was cold, as if he was discussing ordinary trifles such as weather forecast, his pair of ultramarine eyes reflected gem-like depths under the light. Broken marks, deep but cold.

The middle-aged police officer was slightly taken aback, then subconsciously took a breath: "How do you know?"

Si Qingxuan raised his mobile phone: "This is the top news in our city. I just saw it, so it's hard not to know."

The middle-aged police officer's eyelids trembled, and he leaned over to take a look.I saw a line of bright red news feed on the phone screen:

"shock!The female mentally ill patient died mysteriously, and her body was tortured! "

Pushing this news is a well-known local gossip media. They love to push some sensational news reports. Not only the words and sentences are nonsense, but sometimes they even deliberately exaggerate the truth.True and false, it is difficult to distinguish.

The news they released this morning was that the body of a woman in the city's funeral home was tortured and her skin was stripped off and stolen. The police station has opened a case for investigation.They even hung up the photo of the victim. Although it was a coded one, everyone present could recognize it as the crazy woman before.

"... These grandchildren all said that they are not allowed to write nonsense until the official report comes out, and they still can't control their hands!" The police officer couldn't help but swear.

"They're writing real news this time, right?" Si Qingxuan said, "Otherwise, the police wouldn't have called us back."

After the incident was revealed, the old police officer explained the situation to them as if he had opened up a chatterbox.

"It's true. Between twelve o'clock and two o'clock in the morning at the latest, the monitoring of the city funeral home suddenly failed, and the circuit also malfunctioned. After everything returned to normal, they discovered that the skin of the corpse... It’s been peeled off.” The old policeman’s tone was very heavy, “The strange thing is that there are no traces found at the scene. It shows that the suspect who committed the crime is very clever, and it can even be said that he is cheating, and almost no one can find him.”

"Peeling off the skin may be a very targeted act of revenge, or it may be a special hobby of the suspect. Whenever such sensational features appear, the first thing we have to be vigilant about is whether there is a continuous crime It is possible. After initially confirming that no similar cases had been registered in this city, we tried to expand the search scope to several neighboring cities——we actually found two more cases. One of them was not found in a funeral parlor. , it was workers who stumbled across the unrecognizable corpse while cleaning the sewer."

In other words, there are three cases that can be seen.But there is no physical evidence to provide investigative leads.Unseen, undiscovered, missed by people, I don't know how many pieces there are.

"In a few days, we may not be able to continue to handle this case. It would be great if you can clear your suspicions completely today." The police officer said, "To avoid being involved in it all the time, it's very bad luck."

Lin Chu sensed the kindness in the middle-aged police officer's words, and thanked him repeatedly.

Soon, the young police officer who went out to check the surveillance came back.After he closed the door and walked a few steps, he glanced back and forth between the faces of Si Qingxuan and Lin Chu twice, and said coldly, "The surveillance is over."

"Thank you." Si Qingxuan showed his first smile since entering the police station, "Then, when can we leave?"

"Don't rush away yet." The police officer came over, sat in front of Si Qingxuan and the others, and said, "Let's chat again."

"Of course, we are willing to cooperate with issues related to the case." Si Qingxuan had a faint smile on his face.Although this smile was no different from provocation in the eyes of the young police officer, Si Qingxuan was actually just secretly happy in his heart: it seems that more information can be obtained from the police.

With a crash, more than a dozen photos were placed in front of Si Qingxuan and Lin Chu.There are a few photos of the woman in the black skirt before she was alive, and a few photos of her pale corpse... and her flayed body in a horrific shape.

"Jingshan!" The middle-aged police officer on the side warned in a low voice dissatisfied, telling him to be careful.

The young police officer named Jing Shan still went his own way, staring at Si Qingxuan, and said in a less polite tone: "I think, you don't know the deceased that well. Let me introduce you. Her name is Ning Xuelan, the owner of a clothing store before her death, is 26 years old this year. There is also a daughter under the age of five at home. She is in good health and has no history of chronic diseases. Before she went crazy, her life was no different from that of an ordinary person, calm and stable .”

"That's really unfortunate." Si Qingxuan said.

Jing Shan looked down at Si Qingxuan: "Is that all you want to say? I know that you are far from being as harmless as you appear on your resume. You must know something else..."

I do know.

But he himself is just an unlucky guy who was targeted for no reason.

What's more, this is an event caused by weird creatures.Did he expect the police to cooperate with him to arrest the guy who drove the ghost?

[Don't tell me, in fact, there are really professional 'relevant departments' in this regard.It's just that you're special, and it's best not to be noticed by them. 】

【So we have to solve this matter quickly. 】

Si Qingxuan asked the system: "Do you have any good ideas?"

[The woman also has a daughter, so it's easy to handle.Through her, we can read many memories related to Ning Xuelan. 】

[High Priest, our family is a god who travels through time, space and dreams, and lives forever in death and rebirth.All creatures with auras have their 'imprints', their 'roots', but we don't.So you're free to collect all of the talent engravings, which is how the Illusion Tome exists.We strengthen ourselves by 'absorbing' and 'swallowing', and absorbing other people's emotions and memories is naturally not a problem, but there is not much power that can be obtained through this method. 】

[So, it’s just reading a little girl’s memory of her mother.simple. 】

Although Si Qingxuan talked a lot with the system, in the eyes of the outside world, he was only silent for a second.

But at this second, Jingshan would not let it go.

Jing Shan: "Are you guilty?"

"No. It's just a little emotional." Si Qingxuan raised his head, looked into the other person's eyes, and said——

"Officer, have you ever thought that maybe the world is not exactly the same as what you see?"
