Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Despicable Duo_1

"Ugh—"

Behind you, Zong Wangyue, and Dai Zhenan were hiding in a corner, violently vomiting on the ground; Wei Shuxian, although somewhat better than them, was pale, turned his back, and refused to look at that disgusting scene.

"Bastard!"

Xian Qianling was indeed a tomboy, just angrily wiping the brain matter off her face, obviously enraged by the other party’s method of killing to silence.

"Zhang Zifeng!"

"Present!"

"Immediately mobilize all police forces for a raid on Eternal Demon City!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Zifeng hurriedly grabbed the walkie-talkie and dashed out.

Xian Qianling turned to look at you. You had taken off your coat because it was splattered with brain matter and tossed it aside.

Seeing you were alright, Xian Qianling told you, "I’ll make it up to you for this, you guys go on ahead," then she too ran out. As soon as Xian Qianling left, the female ghost floated after her.

"Hey, no need for compensation..."

You were joking; you didn’t want any so-called compensation from this mad woman. Nothing good ever came from being with her!

You didn’t know if she heard you or not, but two police officers then entered the scene, and you were quickly persuaded to leave.

"Boss, that thing just now was so disgusting!"

After leaving Ma Hong’s home, Zong Wangyue couldn’t stop talking. It seemed the scene he’d witnessed had made a deep impression on him.

Wei Shuxian, however, furrowed his brows, saying, "What concerns me is the person behind the Taoist. Such cruel methods of murder to secure silence show that we’ve unintentionally offended a terrifying force. I hope the police can round them all up this time."

"That’s unlikely," you sighed lightly. "Since they were able to kill Hu Da from afar, it shows they are well-prepared. Perhaps they’ve already abandoned Eternal Demon City as their stronghold."

Your words brought everyone’s mood down a notch.

"But no worry, I’ll resolve this through the Chu Sect."

While talking, you all walked out of the alley and at its entrance, you saw Chen Laifu. As soon as he saw you come out, he hurriedly asked, "Brother Li, what happened inside? Why won’t the police let us in?"

Indeed, a police line had been set up at the entrance to the alley with two officers standing guard.

"Ergou, you should stop getting involved in this and go back. Find yourself a proper job instead of living like this," you said.

With Ma Hong gone, for Chen Laifu, it was as if he had lost his direction in life.

"I... sigh!"

Chen Laifu seemed to have accepted reality, hung his head, and walked away.

A few blocks away, some subordinates were waiting for him at the corner.

Watching his dejected figure, you wondered what his future would be. You guessed that Chen Laifu probably wouldn’t follow the same path as Ma Hong.

Once you were back at the school, Xian Qianling didn’t contact you again, but Zhang Zifeng did call you to say that the Ma Hong case was finally closed. They had found the souls of Ma Hong and his wife in the basement of Eternal Demon City. As the details of the case couldn’t be disclosed, the official explanation was that Ma Hong was killed by Hu Da, the owner of Eternal Demon City, due to a debt dispute.

On the surface, the case had been resolved, and Xian Qianling’s reputation in the police force grew even stronger.

However, Xian Qianling herself was extremely dissatisfied with the outcome. According to Zhang Zifeng, she even confronted their superiors, but was ultimately shut down. She seemed to have received a call from someone and left in a huff, leaving Zhang Zifeng in charge of the aftermath.

"It seems that the influence of the Soul Refining Sect is indeed very powerful; they can even use their strong connections to suppress the granddaughter of General Xian," said Wei Shuxian as he flipped through a book and spoke to you.

You didn’t say a word, but your eyes had already started squinting slightly as you drew a big X over the words "Soul Refining Sect" you had written in the notebook with your water pen.

PM, Baojia Street No.75.

As you, Wei Shuxian, and Liao Yong just entered the house, you found Yang Kai scampering down from upstairs, his face rippling with an insufferable smirk.

"Disgusting!"

"Shameless!"

"Sleazy!"

The three of you collectively spat on him.

Yet, the jerk only became more triumphant, his skin thicker than the city walls.

Soon, the members of the supernatural detective agency arrived one after another.

"Brother Mu Yun!"

As always, Lin Panxia’s voice arrived before she did. She immediately threw herself into your arms upon her arrival, the soft, springy sensation from her chest inevitably made hearts flutter.

"Disgusting!"

"Shameless!"

"Sleazy!"

Your three roommates promptly spat on you as well.

Heh heh, heh heh heh; pure envy, jealousy, and hatred!

The content of this meeting was fairly simple, focusing mainly on the new member recruitment issue. You exchanged ideas and summarized several key points. Among them, the most important was that, to join the supernatural detective agency, new members must undergo three rounds of selection, and the first was the old rule: a test of bravery!

Speaking of the bravery test, common models and man-made ghosts obviously wouldn’t suffice, so the group decided to have Nie Ying step in to give these new members a real test of courage, while Zong Wangyue’s information group was tasked with finding the right haunted house.

No sooner had the meeting ended than Xiao Feng grabbed Han Lele and dashed off like a shot.

Angered, Yang Kai, who had wanted a lift, cursed a blue streak, each sentence reaching the deeps of procreation.

Yang Kai’s unspeakable cursing had just ended when Liao Yong’s phone started ringing: "Yongyong, quick, answer the phone, it’s Qingqing who loves you most calling~~"

With a red face, Liao Yong hid from everyone’s gaze to take the call; after some soft-spoken words, he told you, "I gotta go first."

Then he bolted out, only for you to see through the glass window that Liu Qing had already been waiting in the yard for quite a while.

Witnessing the couple’s heated kiss upon meeting, Yang Kai spat out: "Dogs in love!"

"Heh heh, Little Kaikai, don’t forget, from now on, you’re washing my socks for a year."

You patted Yang Kai’s shoulder and laughed mockingly.

Everyone had their own little worlds, and as the gathering ended, people left the yard in twos and threes.

Your trio had only taken a few steps out of the yard when you heard the sound of a car door closing behind you. Turning around, you saw Wu Qiyi walking towards you.

Speaking of Wu Qiyi, for some reason today, she had been staring at you constantly without any hint of concealment.

Not knowing what was going through her mind, you hadn’t had much interaction with her.

For everyone, Wu Qiyi was an unapproachable goddess; she radiated an air of distance to everyone, and even though she was also part of the detective agency, the ladies naturally kept a certain distance from Wu Qiyi—neither too close nor too remote, neither affectionate nor detached.

With Wu Qiyi approaching, you couldn’t shake the feeling that something was about to happen.
