The young man smiled: "No problem, it's just that she escaped with one hand. I'm afraid she will really keep her promise and come back to you."
"ah?"
The old man's face looked a little ugly.
It turns out that his previous calmness was all fake.
The young man comforted him: "Don't be too scared. I just heard you talking. You are also knowledgeable. I will buy more protective things in the future, but it's just a cut of my hand. I'm afraid of wool!"
Xu Renjie secretly rolled his eyes. Are you afraid of wool with just a cut-off hand? You put it nicely. You have real ability, so you are naturally not afraid. Us, assholes, are afraid!
"Great Immortal, the sword in your hand is so powerful, does it look like it's made of peach wood?"
"Yes, it's Taomu." The young man patted his sword, made a sword flower, and the sword disappeared.
Xu Renjie called it a miracle and said with great envy: "Can we ordinary people also use peach wood swords to defend ourselves?"
"Of course you can."
The young man became a little impatient: "However, an ordinary mahogany sword can deal with wandering spirits, but it cannot deal with ghosts that have become a little bit more mature."
"This sword of mine is not an ordinary mahogany sword, but a wood struck by thousands of years of lightning. The most beautiful one is the scorching sun. Don't think about it. There is nothing for sale in the world. You have to be destined to get it."
The young man was quite proud when he talked about his sword.
"Okay, no more nonsense, I have to go to work. I am a staff member of the city's special operations team. My name is Zhang Jialing. This is my work permit."
Zhang Jialing suddenly showed his work permit. Xu Renjie was in awe and said hurriedly: "Hello, uncle policeman."
"Can you please stop calling me uncle?"
"Uh, okay, uncle policeman."
Zhang Jialing vomited blood. He took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to beat Xu Renjie violently, and took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket.
"This is a confidentiality agreement. Please sign it. By the way, you have just experienced an abnormal event. Someone will take you to psychological counseling later."
"01,01, the Yanyang Hotel incident has been dealt with. You can lead the team in. Seal the scene, draw up the cordon, and prohibit anyone from approaching."
Xu Renjie and the old man were stunned.
Zhang Jialing asked again: "Who is the legal person here?"
"My son, he has gone abroad now, I help look after him." The old man said.
Zhang Jialing nodded: "Is there anyone else in your hotel?"
"There are, two cleaners, a chef, and a few guests, a few young people, who have... died."
The old man pulled up the surveillance video, and Zhang Jialing watched it for a long time, not missing any detail.
"I understand. These surveillance cameras must be destroyed to avoid causing public panic. Okay, you can go for psychological counseling."
"Uh-huh."
Xu Renjie and the old man nodded honestly, and Zhang Jialing waved his hand, signaling the two of them to go out first.
…
On the second floor, a room.
There was blood everywhere, and pieces of broken flesh were scattered all over the floor.
Zhang Jialing looked at everything in front of him, trembling all over, and obviously extremely angry. He took out his mobile phone and made a call.
"Minister Yu, I have arrived in Nanhai City and joined the city's special operations team. I got off to a great start and solved a murder case involving a female corpse."
A middle-aged man's voice came from the phone: "Yes, Zhang Jialing, you wouldn't call me just for this matter, would you?"
Zhang Jialing calmed down his expression and said seriously: "Indeed, I have other things to report."
"The leader of the Nanhai City Special Operations Team is called Gao Wei, and his strength is worrisome. Several of his team members are also crooked and useless."
"But the demons in Nanhai City are extremely powerful and have even formed groups."
Minister Yu on the phone sighed: "After all, it is only a municipal city, and it is normal for its power to be weak. You knew the situation in Nanhai City before you went there. You should not only want to report this matter, right?"
Zhang Jialing was silent for a moment.
"Yes, I have one more thing to report."
"There is a consultant in the Nanhai City Special Operations Team, named Li Jun, who is good at controlling demons and ghosts. It is known that he has a snake demon and a mouse demon under his command."
"Li Jun is young and has a vicious heart. He bumped into a female corpse during the day, but he still allowed the female corpse to leave with several men and kill her."
"I have a suggestion. Remove Li Jun's status as consultant. He is not worthy."
Minister Yu was silent for a moment: "Now is the time to employ people. We remove people at will. Some strange people and strange things among the people may never join the officialdom again."
"Of course, if you have other ways to kill him, I won't object or advocate it."
…
A hospital with a very high level of confidentiality.
Xu Renjie sat obediently at the table, opposite a doctor in a white coat.
"Name?"
"Xu Renjie."
After the doctor finished checking, he showed a friendly smile, and his first sentence was: "We live in a materialistic world."
Xu Renjie: "..."
"The world is very big and wonderful. There are many unsolved mysteries. What I am going to tell you now is that there are no ghosts in the world?"
"There are no monsters either."
"Everything can be explained by science. Please believe in science and don't make random guesses or spread rumors to cause panic in society."
"Anything that causes panic in society must be carried out in accordance with national regulations and bear corresponding legal responsibilities." The doctor smiled lightly.
"Impossible. I saw it with my own eyes. Didn't your police force say she was a walking corpse?"
Xu Renjie felt a little hoarse.
"It can't be called a walking corpse. It's just a corpse that relies on some kind of energy to be able to walk for the time being."
"Ghosts are just a kind of energy, or a magnetic field. They are definitely not supernatural events."
Xu Renjie chuckled and said, "I don't know if it was a supernatural event. The old man in the hotel and I saw it all. We saw it from the video surveillance. Doctor, please explain, is this a hallucination?"
The doctor in white clothes was stunned.
"This is mass hysteria."
"According to the investigation of our police, this case is related to a certain overseas force. It should be done by them with the purpose of disrupting our normal public order. Do you understand?"
Xu Renjie sneered: "Am I blind? I saw her eating people with my own eyes. Is this also done by foreign forces? You won't tell me that the female corpse is a robot, right?"
The doctor smiled lightly: "It's the drug."
"The nature of the incident has been determined. I hope you will not spread rumors. Otherwise, you may be punished with death."
Xu Renjie was shocked.
"Okay, now we can start psychological counseling. First, listen to some soothing music, relax your mind, and read silently along with me..."
"The world is materialistic."
Xu Renjie finally gave up resistance: "The world is materialistic."
…
Here, Li Jun and others have been trapped in the lobby of the Supernatural Building for a long time, unable to find a way back or a breakthrough.
In the innermost part of the hall, there are two passages, one on the left and one on the right.
