Weird Rules Rumor: At The Beginning, He Insisted That He Was Not Dead
Chapter 184: Landen Detective Agency (12)

Aside from Will, all the anomalies vanished like snow under the sun’s rays, as if they had never existedthey disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At that moment, the world seemed to halt; the silence was even deeper than if time itself had frozen.

How do you make this world quieter? All you need is for everything to keep moving, yet not a single sound is heard.

Such was the silence that pervaded the room.

A mocking smile still lingered on Will’s face, but now it was strangely frozen.

Toni’s eyes widened as he stared at the scene in bewilderment. If Will’s actions had merely shaken his perception, what Bai Liang did was like a “delete” button.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What in the world is happening?

A wondrous coincidence of thoughtWill and Toni were thinking the exact same thing at that moment.

“You...”

Will broke the silence, his face contorted with horror. “What did you do?!”

“Don’t misunderstand, I just didn’t want them to interrupt our conversation,” Bai Liang replied with a slight smile.

But to Will, this smile was more terrifying than any monster. The beings he himself had summoned were instantly annihilated, without even the slightest chance to react.

This man was terrifying.

He felt foolish now for deciding to personally intervene in this process.

Will had forgotten that Bai Liang had behaved completely normally before this, even following all the rules during the investigations.

“Wow!”

Toni stared at Bai Liang, his gaze slowly shifting from shock to delight:

“Bai Liang, how did you do that? Can you teach me?!”

Stop time...

Such a cheat-like skillit was simply... “Damn cool!”

If he possessed such power, any crime would be solved in the blink of an eye!

What’s more, beyond solving crimes... he could stop crimes even before they were committed!

...Wait, though...

If he could stop time, why would he even work as a detective?

In that case, he could do something far more significant!

“Want to learn?” Bai Liang said with a slight smirk, looking at Toni.

“The problem isn’t that I don’t want to teach you, Toni. You simply can’t learn it. It’s an innate gift.”

This skill was randomly granted by the system. After completing this quest, it will disappear.

Even Bai Liang himself won’t be able to keep it... So what kind of teaching could there be?

“That’s a real shame...” Toni sighed, seemingly disappointed. “And here I was just about to introduce you to my sister. She’s considered an unattainable flower in the eyes of all the men in this city.”

“Oh?” Hearing this, Bai Liang raised an eyebrow: “Hey, brother-in-law, that’s not fair of you. It’s not that I don’t want to teach you, but it’s impossible to learn.”

Seeing his expression, Toni thought for a moment, but still believed him: “Alright, let’s forget about it then.”

“What about your sister?”

“Sister? What sister? Don’t you know I’ve been an orphan since childhood?”

“Damn it, Toni, I’m serious! I really want to stop time right now and throw you straight into the road!”

---

At that moment, Will realized things were bad.

While Toni and Bai Liang were engrossed in conversation, he discreetly began to back away. As soon as he reached the desired distance, he suddenly turned and bolted towards the exit, his speed so high that it even left an afterimage!

“Oh, damn it! Bai Liang, he’s getting away!”

Toni noticed Will running and cried out loudly.

“Toni, don’t panic,” Bai Liang remained absolutely calm. “For criminals, attempting to escape is a perfectly natural thing.”

Click!

A soft click echoed.

At that very instant, Will, who had almost reached the door, suddenly found himself back in front of Toni, exactly where he had been standing before.

“W-what the hell?!”

Will’s soul nearly flew out of his body in terror!

But he didn’t bother figuring out what had happened; he simply bolted again!

Click!

Will, who had almost reached the door, ran past Toni again, their gazes meeting: Will with wide, bulging eyes, and Toni with a questioning look on his face.

“Um... Bai Liang, what’s he doing?” Toni, watching Will run towards the door only to suddenly reappear in front of him, was utterly bewildered.

“I don’t know,” Bai Liang spread his hands. “Maybe he thinks he hasn’t trained enough and wants to improve his running skills?”

“Hoo~ hoo~ hoo~” Drenched in sweat, Will stopped in place. This time, he didn't run again, because he understood: no matter how much he ran, he would always remain in the same spot.

This guy must be a devil, to torment people like this!

“Haha! Will, why aren’t you running anymore?” Toni watched him with a smug expression.

Will ignored him, his gaze fixed on Bai Liang, and he asked, heavily breathing: “What exactly do you want to do?”

“Of course, to send you to heaven!” A faint smile appeared on Bai Liang’s face.

Will’s face finally relaxed a little; he looked at Bai Liang emotionlessly and suddenly scoffed: “Then tell me, what have I done for you to judge me?”

Toni, hearing this, also froze. “It seems he really hasn’t committed any crimes,” he quietly told Bai Liang. “No law forbids a person from killing themselves.”

You actually found the crucial point... Bai Liang looked strangely at Toni, which made him feel a bit awkward.

“Ahem, ahem, I’m not defending the enemy, it’s just that he’s speaking the truth.”

“Have you forgotten about his ex-girlfriend?” Bai Liang smiled faintly, his eyes looking mockingly at Will. “He didn’t just kill himself; he also killed that girl who died in the accident.”

Toni frowned, his face turning serious: “That girl who left the note? Will’s girlfriend?”

Bai Liang nodded: “Right. She didn’t die in an accident; she died by Will’s hand.”

“But what was the motive?” Toni was utterly baffled. “If Will is the killer, why would he kill his own girlfriend?”

“Wait a minute...”

He was still the top detective, and his IQ wasn’t low. He immediately understood where the catch was.

“Unless this Will isn’t the real Will, and he’s been replaced by that mysterious and dangerous entity from the letter!”

Bai Liang nodded: “Exactly. Right now, that’s the only logical explanation.”

He suddenly looked at Will, a flicker of interest appearing in his eyes: “Now I’m curious, what kind of being are you?”

Will slowly lowered his head, and soon, a mad smile appeared on his face.

“Hahaha, you’re indeed the best detective in the agency, truly not simple...”
