Chapter 181: Chapter 15 Esoteric Buddhism Evil Ritual, Flawless Curse Crystal, Demon Divine Chosen (Subscribe Please)_2

"Sis, you’ve got to keep it a secret that I’m a Transcendent, okay..." Xu Shu raised his index finger to his lips.

He still wasn’t ready to let people know he was a Transcendent.

This time, the reason wasn’t about whether the Promotion Drive was legal or not, which he knew was not too difficult to resolve.

The problem was that the situation was special at the moment.

A Transcendent who had suddenly appeared, had yet to register, and got inexplicably involved in a case related to an Esoteric Buddhist ritual sacrifice, would definitely face further investigations, and might even be suspected of being an Esoteric believer.

Anyway, revealing his identity at such a juncture would be troublesome, even if the Judgement Department could eventually clear his name. But who would want to go through all that trouble?

Like today, maintaining his officially certified "Xu Shu, resident of the safe zone, qualification test failed" identity would be more appropriate.

Xu Shu wasn’t afraid of troubles; he just didn’t want to stir them up if it wasn’t necessary.

He also worried about his young sister not being able to keep a secret, so he had to communicate with her in advance.

Fortunately, Zhou Shiyu didn’t disappoint Xu Shu. Although her little face was still somewhat pale from fright, she had managed to regain a semblance of composure.

She took a deep breath, as if convincing herself, then nodded determinedly, "Got it, don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone that brother’s underwear is colorful."

"?"

What colorful? My underwear is obviously dark?

Xu Shu pondered aloud, "I meant the fact that I just made a move. Also, did you by any chance..."

He hesitated, unsure if Zhou Shiyu had obediently closed her eyes and hadn’t seen the terrifying Eight Spider Spears that had grown out of his back.

Zhou Shiyue blinked and asked in return, "What move? Brother, what are you talking about? Are you sleep-confused? Someone just knocked on the door claiming they were the police, but I didn’t believe them and didn’t open the door. I also heard roaring sounds; so scary, was it a monster?"

Upon hearing this, a smile spread across Xu Shu’s face, "Good, good, good, you’re truly my sister, I haven’t pampered you for nothing."

Thump thump thump!

As they talked, barely half a minute had passed since Xu Shu and his sister returned to their room when the rest of the police officers finally arrived.

Xu Shu leaned against the door and listened, outside was a multitude of footsteps, then hushed voices in conversation, and the crackling of a radio:

"Damn it, something’s gone wrong, Zhao Qu and his team are dead."

"Szzt... report the situation..."

"Report to the Execution Officer, Operation Code 12, Zhao Qu’s search team, encountered target Esoteric believers, the battle at the scene has ended, four team members, four casualties."

"Four dead?... Szzt... What about the target?"

"We found a large number of ritual items and an Array in room 404 of building 83, with clear evidence of a sinister presence, but it has already been killed by the Star Tower!"

"Szzt... understood. Since the Star Tower had automatically targeted it, let’s pull out, don’t make a fuss, check the scene for witnesses."

"Copy that, commander... szszt..."

"... Clean up the scene immediately and conduct a spot identity check on everyone in this building. All non-local suspicious individuals... take them all back!"

...

Hearing this, Xu Shu turned his head and motioned to his sister.

Seeing her nod, Xu Shu slowly walked over.

A moment later...

"Thump thump thump!"

"Police Department! Open up!"

The door was once again violently knocked upon.

This time there was none of the relatively gentle, unrushed feeling from before.

Even the voices of those calling at the door seemed somewhat hoarse.

The response they got was a girl’s voice tinged with a cry, "Mom and Dad aren’t home, are you, are you really the police, boo-hoo..."

The officers looked at each other, but with the bodies of their comrades still warm, they couldn’t afford to be negligent; they chose to forcefully enter.

When they finally opened the door, they saw a pair of young siblings embraced, the sister with a face full of fear, and the brother in disheveled clothing looking just as panicked, obviously just woken up by his sister.

The fierce expressions of the officers hesitated slightly. They noted how normal and tidy this place seemed, its layout perfectly clear at a glance, creating a strong contrast with the eerie arrangement of the room across the hall.

In fact, almost the moment they entered, they knew in their hearts that this household was clear of issues.

The madness and perversion of the Esoteric believers were impossible to conceal, just like the house opposite, their craziness meant they couldn’t restrain the urge to draw something symbolic on the walls.

However, as a matter of duty, they still walked in, glanced around as if out of routine, and said "Your ID cards, please."

...

"Xu Shu, 18 years old, identity and address verified correctly."

"Zhou Shiyu, 17 years old, identity and address verified correctly."

"No anomalies... Captain?"

"Let’s go, inform logistics to collect the bodies, everyone else, split into groups and check upstairs."

This officer had a star on his epaulet, marking him as a Transcendent of the same rank as a Patrol Team squad leader, not exceeding the Twelfth Rank of the First Order.

With everything confirmed here, he naturally had no time to waste, continuing the checks upstairs.

According to the anonymous tip they had received, today there were only about eight possible Esoteric believers who had entered this apartment complex, which matched the number of shoes at the door of room 404. Theoretically, the case was closed, with no fish slipping through the net.

But he wouldn’t feel comfortable unless he vented the excess energy.

The officers exited one after another.
