One person: Reborn as Huangxian, seeking the title of Feng Baobao at the beginning
Chapter 604 It’s hard to protect yourself
She had been at the bottom of the river for countless years. The Luo family knew there was a water ghost at the bottom of the river and kept luring people on the shore into the water, but they had never been able to encounter this water ghost.
On several occasions, the elders of the Luo family even tried to intervene, but to no avail.
Otherwise, the water wouldn't be filled with resentment.
Previously, the woman in red didn't think much about it; she only believed that it was because she was strong enough that the Luo family couldn't find her.
Who could have imagined that it would end like this?
She possesses the bloodline of the Luo family, which is why she can move freely in this water area without any restrictions. Even the water-suppressing divine beast guarding the Luo family cannot do anything to her!
Now that she knows the truth, the woman in red doesn't know how to react.
"Even if I'm a member of the Luo family, so what?"
"If you are a member of the Luo family, then it proves one thing—your current predicament was a carefully planned scheme from the very beginning!"
"Don't you want to know who caused you to become like this?"
Huang Miao's words not only filled the woman in red with suspicion, but also shocked Wu Xie and Chen Tian, though they reacted even more quickly.
Before the woman in red could figure out the intricacies of the situation, they had already uncovered the truth.
"Do you have some hazy memories of yourself?"
Chen Tian recalled the scene he had witnessed in the illusion. Clearly, what the woman in red wanted him to see was vastly different from what he actually saw. Perhaps that was why Chen Tian was not bewitched.
According to the illusion, the woman in red's memory should be accurate, but in reality, she doesn't even know that she is a member of the Luo family.
Chen Tian couldn't help but suspect that the spring water that gushed out after she fell into the dry well not only preserved the red-clad woman's soul and body but also altered her memories.
"I haven't forgotten anything, I haven't forgotten anything!"
Faced with Chen Tian's piercing questions, the woman in red's face gradually contorted, and tears of blood instantly filled her face. She shook her head frantically, and even took her head off her neck and held it in her hand, still repeating the same words over and over.
This scene was truly bizarre.
There were two people on the bank, and a headless man in red standing on the water, his head held in his hand.
Wu Xie looked at Chen Tian, "We don't have the blood of the Luo family on our hands, so breaking through this woman's barrier might be a bit tricky!"
Since the Luo family members went into the water, they haven't come out yet. Wu Xie and Chen Tian haven't had time to go into the water to search for them, and this woman is also blocking their way, which has really caused them a lot of trouble.
"Don't worry, she herself said that she will return to the water after the rooster crows, she can't escape. We can come back to look for her later, now let's see if the Luo family can find any clues!"
Chen Tian waved to Wu Xie. After thinking it over carefully, he felt that they might be able to reveal their identities and get the company involved, using the mysterious appearance of dead fish on the river as an excuse to investigate the situation in the river.
Although the Luo family has some influence in this area, they cannot control everything.
The Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau has now been upgraded to an independent department under a higher authority. Ordinary people may not know this, but a department like the company that manages extraordinary individuals must have already received the relevant documents.
There should be no problem in having other relevant agencies cooperate in the investigation of this case.
Chen Tian stroked his chin and briefly discussed his thoughts with Wu Xie. He felt that it wouldn't hurt to give the Luo family a warning.
The two reached a consensus, ignored the woman in red, and turned to leave.
"What do you mean by this? You've offended me, do you think you can get away so easily?"
Seeing that Chen Tian and Wu Xie were about to turn and leave, the woman in red immediately objected.
Having finally found two "easy targets" in the water, why would she let them go so easily?
At this moment, the woman in red had forgotten what had happened before, and even subconsciously regarded Chen Tian and Wu Xie as ordinary people. It was because of this that she shouted these words without any scruples.
"Didn't you say that you would return to the water after the rooster crows? We can't take you away either, what are we supposed to do?"
Wu Xie assumed that the woman in red was concerned about this matter, so he explained earnestly, "You don't need to be anxious. We will come to see you again after we have investigated this matter. Your hands are tainted with the aura of many wronged souls. Perhaps you are being controlled by others to act this way, but ultimately it is your doing, and you will have to pay the price."
You are a member of the Luo family, and I believe the Luo family will give you an explanation. Likewise, you must give us an explanation!
Wu Xie no longer has the bloodline of the Luo family, and the woman in red's body has long since died, so fresh blood cannot be used.
The person in charge made it very clear that only those with the Luo family bloodline could subdue the woman in red.
The only person Wu Xie and Chen Tian could think of who they could use blood against was Luo Qing, the investigator from the Luo family.
"No, you should die here! To contribute to the Lord's great cause!"
The woman in red was enraged. She floated above the river, looking down at Chen Tian and Wu Xie as if she would pull them into the water at any moment, condemning them to eternal damnation.
"Certainly!"
A golden light shot from Chen Tian's hand straight towards the woman in red. With a loud shout, the woman in red was frozen in mid-air, motionless.
See you tonight!
Wu Xie waved to the woman in red who was frozen in place, and then he and Chen Tian turned and left.
The woman in red opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but couldn't utter a single word. She could only watch helplessly as the two figures walked further and further away until they disappeared from sight.
On Luo Qing's side.
After a night of turmoil, the entity in the river that the Luo family feared strangely did not appear.
This is never normal.
Others may not know, but Luo Qing knows very well that there is an extremely powerful water ghost under the river, and it is also a stunningly beautiful woman.
In previous years, it was this female ghost who seduced men, causing them to die in the water.
The resentment of the dead man had been gathering in the water, but with the presence of the water-suppressing beast and the deterrent effect of the Luo family, this resentment had been unable to break through the surface of the water.
But things are different now. Resentment permeates the air, yet the female ghost has not appeared. It all seems strange.
Luo Qing led two disciples of the Luo family to search continuously in the water, while also constantly clearing away the resentment.
Normally, going into the water to clear away resentment is an easy task, but for some reason, this time it was unusually difficult.
Despite all their efforts, they only managed to clear away a tiny bit of resentment.
What shocked Luo Qing even more was that the clean river water that he had finally managed to clear was instantly shrouded in resentment again.
It should be said that the entire riverbed was completely enveloped by resentment, leaving them with nowhere to stand.
The thought flashed through Luo Qing's mind, and he couldn't help but gasp.
He didn't dare to think about it any more.
Seriously, that's terrifying.
"We must retreat; this place is no longer safe for us!"
After making a hand gesture to his two disciples, Luo Qing calmly made a decision.
The three quickly evacuated.
As soon as he surfaced, Luo Qing saw a woman in a red wedding dress, suspended in mid-air.
"You... how did you get here?" They had been searching for this female ghost for years, but had never been able to capture her. Even when they didn't see her in the water this time, Luo Qing wondered if the female ghost had been devoured by resentment.
To his utter surprise, someone else beat him to it and subdued the female ghost.
wrong!
When they arrived at the river, they made a point of surveying the surrounding area to make sure no one was around before they went into the water.
Previously, the river had been calm and still, showing no signs of any powerful figure being present.
"Heh, don't you all know how I ended up here? The water-suppressing beast is useless now, isn't it? Resentment is everywhere. Everything here will be destroyed!"
Upon seeing Luo Qing, the woman in red suddenly burst into arrogant laughter!
So what if she's trapped?
No one here can kill her. Not the Luo family, and not even the people who trapped her.
"Your target is indeed the Water-Suppressing Divine Beast. Who exactly are you? Why do you want to be an enemy of the Luo family? Why are you targeting the Water-Suppressing Divine Beast?"
Luo Qing stared wide-eyed at the woman in red with a fierce look. Today, he was determined to kill this damned female ghost.
The Luo family should have gone all out to destroy the female ghost the moment she appeared, instead of leaving such a huge hidden danger.
At this moment, Luo Qing had already forgotten that it wasn't that the Luo family didn't want to destroy her, but rather that they were simply too weak to do so.
"I want you all dead! Not a single one alive!"
The woman in red spoke slowly and deliberately, her tone icy.
Luo Qing leaped up, intending to kill her first.
"Giggle-"
The rooster crowed precisely on time.
The woman in red swayed twice, then transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the bottom of the river.
Luo Qing missed his target, and his strength gave out.
He fell back onto the riverbank, knowing full well that the chance to catch the female ghost had slipped away.
"Let's go back."
Whether it's the resentment in the river or the trapped female ghost, these matters have become so complicated that Luo Qing alone cannot make a decision. He must return immediately and inform the head of the family about the situation.
Bureau of Investigation.
As soon as it was light, Wu Xie and Chen Tian rushed over.
Gong Changyun, the person in charge, was still asleep when he was woken up by a phone call saying that people from higher up had come and asked them to cooperate with the work.
Gong Changyun was in a daze, but upon hearing "Nine Gates Feng Shui Formation," his mind instantly cleared.
Some time ago, he went to a meeting in the province, and one of the documents specifically mentioned the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau.
Putting everything else aside, this department is independent of the government and the military, and is directly under the jurisdiction of its superiors; it is a special department.
Anyone or anything that involves the Nine Gates Feng Shui Formation must prioritize it and must not delay in the slightest.
In Gong Changyun's view, such a special department must handle special and major events, which have nothing to do with their small place.
Who would have thought that, not long after, people from the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau would arrive on his territory?
He jumped out of bed and ordered his men to invite the person in and treat them well, while he sped up his pace to get to the investigation bureau as soon as possible.
"Comrades, you have come from afar. May I ask what important matters you wish to discuss?"
On his way here, Gong Changyun had already reviewed all the major and minor events that had happened recently, and he couldn't find anything that would warrant a special trip for the comrades from the special department.
Upon entering the office, Gong Changyun asked with a smile, while personally serving tea to Chen Tian and Wu Xie.
Gong Changyun had already seen the two men's identification documents, which indeed bore the markings of a special higher-level department and could not be forged by others. This was why he was uneasy, unsure of what serious matter it was.
"Manager Gong, it's like this: yesterday, countless dead fish inexplicably floated to the surface of your river. My colleague and I happened to be by the river and witnessed it firsthand. Because there were some unusual substances on the river, we came here to investigate the case."
We need Mr. Gong's cooperation in our investigation, and we will definitely give him a satisfactory answer as soon as possible!
Wu Xie spoke first, explaining without going into too much detail, only briefly mentioning the dead fish on the river.
"So this is the case. With the help of these two comrades, we will surely be able to solve it as soon as possible."
So, yesterday this case was assigned to the First Brigade. I've transferred the entire First Brigade here and have them act according to the two comrades' instructions. What do you think?
In Gong Changyun's view, Wu Xie's explanation was only superficial.
He pondered deeply, wondering if there was something in the river, or what the dead fish incident involved that prompted the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau to mobilize.
Regardless, now that the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau has taken over this case, it's no longer an ordinary case, and the person in charge will change. Gong Changyun has decided that he'll call the city later to sound out whether the higher-ups have any other plans for this area, which is why they sent the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau.
As soon as Luo Qing entered the bureau, he was called to the person in charge's office.
They said that comrades from the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau had arrived, and the person in charge was personally accompanying them.
The fact that the person in charge was accompanying them seemed to have nothing to do with these people.
Luo Qing was a little puzzled. As soon as he entered the person in charge's office, he saw two familiar faces.
Aren't these the same two people from the riverbank yesterday?
How did they end up in the person in charge's office?
No, the person in charge's office is from the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau.
So, are these two people from the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau?
They were by the river; did they notice anything?
Countless thoughts flashed through Luo Qing's mind, but he showed no emotion on his face.
"Luo Qing, Captain Luo, these two are comrades from the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau. They are mainly responsible for investigating the dead fish incident in the river. From now on, all members of your team will follow these two comrades and obey their instructions in handling the case!"
Luo Qing naturally couldn't refuse the person in charge's instructions to their face; he had to save face.
So he agreed without hesitation.
"Yes, sir! I guarantee I will fully cooperate with the two comrades' actions and will not let them down!"
Luo Qing had heard of various legends about the Nine Gates Feng Shui Formation.
Not only him, but also the head of the Luo family noticed this department.
Initially, Luo Qing didn't pay much attention to the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau because it was just an organization in the Xijiang region and had no connection with the Xichuan region.
Unexpectedly, not long after, people from the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau arrived. If the person in charge hadn't given the order, Luo Qing would have almost doubted whether he had misheard.
He pondered to himself what level the Nine Gates Feng Shui Formation was at.
After all, if it were just an ordinary department in the Xijiang region, the person in charge wouldn't be so attentive, almost smiling obsequiously, and wouldn't even ask a single question about the true purpose of the visit before directly handing the entire team over to the people from the Nine Gates Fengshui Bureau.
"Thank you for your trouble, Captain Luo!" (End of Chapter)
