Chapter 583: Chapter 555: Bloodthirsty

"Report to the headquarters, one victim was found on Haitang Road. The condition of death was blood depletion, as if drained by some creature."

"Headquarters received."

"Bang!!"

After hanging up the phone, the middle-aged police officer smashed his fist hard on the table, as such cases had occurred many times in recent days.

But no matter how they investigated, they could not find the slightest trace of the perpetrator, which scared even the people in the police station.

"What on earth is going on?!" the middle-aged officer pounded his fist on the table again, but his heart was filled with helplessness. As for the perpetrator, of which they didn’t even know the nature, they were powerless.

"I think it’s necessary to start martial law in Linchuan," Yu Yueying said from the side.

"Martial law? That might cause panic among the civilians!" the middle-aged officer frowned.

"Compared to causing panic and continual deaths, which is more important?" Yu Yueying retorted unapologetically.

Hearing Yu Yueying’s words, the middle-aged officer’s face showed a defeated expression; indeed, if things continued like this, it was only a matter of time before the public would become aware.

Moreover, there was a complete difference between proactive disclosure and being exposed unwillingly.

"Alright, we’ll do as you say," the middle-aged officer said, looking at Yu Yueying with a grim expression.

No matter what was killing people, it had already caused them a great deal of trouble over this period.

Not far from the police station, several figures slowly disappeared, merging into the darkness.

After work, Li Chen drove Lin Yi home but didn’t immediately enter the villa; instead, he walked outside.

Not far from the villa, a man dressed in black and shrouded in darkness slowly emerged.

Seeing Li Chen approaching, the man bowed to him.

"Alright, alright, it’s a special time; let’s skip these formalities for now," Li Chen said to the Nether Army Warrior slowly.

"How’s the investigation going?" Li Chen couldn’t help but ask the man.

During this period, there was only one matter that Li Chen had asked the Nether Army to investigate: the whereabouts of Li Xinmei.

This woman, not only had resurrected but had also become terrifyingly powerful. If she were not eliminated, she would definitely grow into a massive threat.

Li Chen would not allow such a threat to exist in his life.

"We have not yet found any trace of that woman," the Nether Army Warrior said slowly. "A few times, some brothers seemed to have seen her, but for some reason, by the time they followed up, she had disappeared."

"That’s concerning..." Li Chen frowned.

He did not doubt the tracking skills of the Nether Army.

If Li Xinmei could still evade the Nether Army’s tracking after having been spotted, it only meant that this woman was extraordinarily complex.

"Is there anything else?" Li Chen asked again.

"Yes!"

The Nether Army Warrior nodded and then spoke with a somewhat grave tone, "Recently, Linchuan has been experiencing some unusual deaths. All the victims were drained of blood. So far, the police have been unable to find any clues."

"Drained of blood to death?" A hint of confusion flashed in Li Chen’s eyes.

"Exactly, and according to our investigation, it seems that such incidents had not occurred in Linchuan before that woman appeared," the Nether Army Warrior affirmed.

A serious expression appeared in Li Chen’s eyes; for some reason, upon hearing this news, a bad premonition subconsciously passed through his mind.

Li Xinmei’s appearance was very eerie, and the strength she displayed was excessively powerful.

Now, with the inexplicable situation in Linchuan, he could not help but suspect whether this was related to Li Xinmei.

His intuition had apparently never been wrong before.

He believed he would not be mistaken this time either.

"Alright, let’s leave it at that for now. Continue the investigation; I’ll go to the police station tomorrow to see what’s really going on," Li Chen nodded.

After the Nether Army Warrior left, Li Chen also headed towards the villa.

A contemplative look appeared on Li Chen’s face.

His intuition told him that this matter was definitely not simple.

"Looks like I really do need to visit the police station... Although I don’t really like that place," Li Chen shrugged his shoulders, speaking to himself with a touch of helplessness.

That night.

Linchuan was brightly lit, as night life was always richer and filled with more fun than the daytime.

And people preferred being active at night.

However, while they were reveling, they were unaware that in some dark corners, voracious eyes were greedily watching them.

"Sizzle—sizzle—"

In a dimly lit alley, a figure crouched on the ground, while another figure lay motionless.

From the crouching figure, there came chilling suckling sounds.

It was like a child sucking on a somewhat shriveled milk carton, only this sound was far more terrifying and horrifying.

Especially in such a dim, lightless place, it felt eerily cold.

After a while, the figure squatting on the ground slowly stood up.

This was a woman, a very beautiful woman, who at this time of night incited an irresistible desire in those who saw her to tease her.

However, teasing this woman usually did not end well.

She was... Li Xinmei.

Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, a look of enjoyment appeared on Li Xinmei’s face: "This feeling, it’s just fantastic. I can feel my body becoming stronger and more vigorous."

"What an intoxicating feeling!"

Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, Li Xinmei touched the fresh blood on her finger to her lips and gently licked it.

The next moment, she carelessly threw aside the body of the man she had drained.

"Thump!"

The man’s body was shriveled and withered, almost identical to the bodies the police had discovered these past few days.

"I can feel myself becoming stronger... stronger and stronger!" Li Xinmei removed her finger from her lips, her bright red lips making her look incredibly demonic at that moment.

"Faced with an increasingly powerful me, Li Chen, how will you deal with it?" Thinking of Li Chen, a cold glint flashed in Li Xinmei’s eyes.

A cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
