Chapter 259: Skinning Love
The Administration treated the Butterfly Girl differently from how they treated Xie Wei, whom Wu Chang had captured before. The Butterfly Girl wore special heavy-duty handcuffs on her hands, electronic anklets on her feet, and a talisman that imprisoned energy was pasted on her body.

Judging from her size, she must have committed a serious crime.

Noticing Wu Chang's gaze, the Butterfly Girl looked up and met Wu Chang's gaze, a smile appearing on her cold face.

Wu Chang showed curiosity. Butterfly Girl also remembered him?

If he was not mistaken, when he saw the Butterfly Girl that day, her attention should have been entirely on Lu Langfeng.

Wu Chang followed Zhao Yan, and the two of them escorted the Butterfly Girl to the fifth underground floor.

During the escort, Wu Chang was observing the Butterfly Girl.

The Butterfly Girl's mental state was stable and the road was very quiet. Wu Chang could not see any evil black aura, resentment, or dangerous aura from her.

The only thing that made her stand out was the strong emotions she possessed.

When Wu Chang saw her for the first time, he was attracted by her strong emotions. At first, her emotions were only strong enough to be almost visible to the naked eye, but after not seeing her for four days, they have now become material.

It was a complex, strange emotion, not a pure single emotion.

Wu Chang couldn't be sure what it was, but his inspiration told him that the emotion should be love.

Love really touches on his blind spot in knowledge, and he should ask Fang Hui about this kind of question.

Practice makes perfect. If you have never done something, you will definitely not be able to fully understand the essence of it.

Wu Chang and Zhao Yan escorted Butterfly Girl into the fifth underground floor. They first took her for registration. After putting on the electronic bracelet that registered her information, Butterfly Girl was sent to one of the deepest cells on the fifth underground floor.

When he came out, Wu Chang observed the fifth underground floor. After not seeing it for a few days, he found that the originally empty detention floor was now 80% full.

He wrinkled his nose and looked around with disgust.

Perhaps it was the aftereffect of the Anthem Company copy. After seeing the resentment of Farrell and others and completing the psychic stimulation surgery, he could vaguely see the sins in people.

It is a dirty and filthy black air that contains all kinds of uncomfortable elements. If the sins are too strong, it will even cause synaesthesia. When you see them, you can vaguely smell an unspeakable stench.

It’s just that a lot of the sinful air on the five underground floors only looks dirty, and there’s no peculiar smell when observed.

It seems that those who are imprisoned here can still be saved and have not done anything too extreme. Those who have lost all conscience have probably been executed directly.

The Administration has the power to deal with extraordinary criminals.

Coming up from the fifth underground floor, Zhao Yan pointed to the smoking room and said, "Let's chat?"

Wu Chang nodded and followed Zhao Yan. He also wanted to find out what had happened recently.

As soon as the door of the smoking room was opened, the inside was filled with fog and the gushing secondhand smoke almost pushed Wu Chang out.

After turning on the ventilator and waiting for the smoke to dissipate, you can see that the three large ashtrays on the table in the smoking room are filled with cigarette butts.

It seems that everyone is under a lot of pressure during this period. Judging from the current numbers, each person needs at least two packs a day.

Zhao Yan lit up a cigarette, took a puff, and asked, "Where have you been these days? The bureau has been extremely busy, and even many of the newly recruited wild extraordinary people have been sent out. At such a critical moment, you disappeared instead."

Wu Chang shrugged and said, "Some time ago, I was playing basketball alone and felt that I must have a good venue to play basketball, so I went to burn Los Angeles at 4 a.m. to the boss."

Wu Chang was not here to discuss him, so he immediately changed the subject and asked:

"What did that woman do just now?"

Zhao Yan asked: "Do you know him?"

Wu Chang said, "We only met once, how did you tell?"

Zhao Yan looked at Wu Chang with a half-smile and said, "Ever since you entered the gate, you have had your eyes on her. How can you have such a chance to meet her?"

Wu Chang said unhappily: "I was examining the criminal."

Zhao Yan sneered, and without further entanglement, said:
"I don't care if you have any personal relationship or if you just like Piercing Rune Mages because of your sexual fetish, but I advise you to draw a clear line between yourself and that bitch and stay away from her."

Wu Chang frowned and asked, "Is what she did serious?"

Zhao Yan nodded, "It was a large-scale serial murder, with a bad plot and cruel methods, and more than fifteen victims. She was caught on the spot and confessed to the crime."

Wu Chang asked doubtfully, "Is there a file? Let me take a look."

It was Zhao Yan who interrogated Butterfly Girl. He immediately passed the relevant information of the case to Wu Chang. "Read it yourself, don't spread it to others."

When Wu Chang opened the information, the first thing he saw was the life story of Butterfly Girl.

The Butterfly Girl looks wild, but her name is very quiet. Her name is Yu Siyi, she is 21 years old, a junior in college, one year younger than Wu Chang.

Although he is young, he has accomplished great things.

According to her own confession and the remains of the victims discovered later, she killed a total of 15 people, including men and women.

The modus operandi was simple. They would go to nightclubs at night, bring the people they met back home, subdue the victims, hang them in the basement, and then bleed and skin them.

When he arrested Yu Siyi, he was attacking a victim. According to members of the management bureau who were present at the time, the victim, whose skin had been peeled off and whose blood was being drained, was still conscious and was not dead. He died on the way to the hospital.

Wu Chang looked at the file and asked in confusion, "For such a serious incident, the director and his men only locked her up on the fifth floor?"

Zhao Yan lowered his voice and whispered, "The other party's family has some background. They think that being executed directly will affect the family's reputation. It is better to let her explore the Abyss Game. If she dies in the dungeon exploration, it can also be regarded as a contribution to the country."

Wu Chang sighed and shook his head.

If it was simply a murder for curiosity, Yu Siyi's case would be just a small scene for Wu Chang. He had seen more curious cases in his dungeons.

But this is not a copy, but reality. Although the perpetrator does not look like a good person, she is a real 21-year-old girl.

This makes the case extremely magical.

What made him even more confused was that Yu Siyi's method of killing was so cruel, and the deceased remained conscious until he died from excessive blood loss. Then why didn't Yu Siyi have any resentment left?

Wu Chang looked up at Zhao Yan and said, "I want to go to the crime scene."

Zhao Yan asked doubtfully: "Do you think there is something wrong with the case?"

Wu Chang nodded. "I said before that I had met Yu Siyi once, and it was not a lie. To be precise, I had just captured a wild extraordinary person that day. He was also imprisoned on the fifth underground floor. His name was Xie Wei."

"I was having dinner in the commercial street, and I happened to see Yu Siyi on my way home. I felt a similar aura from her to Xie Wei. At that time, I just paid attention to her and planned to follow up and investigate. I didn't expect that before I could take action, she had already made a mistake, and it was more serious than Xie Wei's."

Zhao Yan fell into deep thought and recalled, "I remember you mentioned Xie Wei. He is still in a coma and hasn't woken up yet. At the beginning, you speculated that there was something wrong with the source of his ability and that he might be controlled by some organization or person. Do you think she is the same?"

Wu Chang replied: "I'm not sure, but it's very likely."

Zhao Yan put out his cigarette and said, "Then let's go."

In the car, Wu Chang continued to look through Yu Siyi's personal file.

The file on Yu Siyi is very detailed, partly because she committed so many crimes that every step was recorded and easy to check. Another part was out of revenge, Yu Siyi dictated it herself.

Yu Siyi's family is well-off. Her father, Yu Mingxuan, is a real estate developer and a well-known figure in Wanghai City. Although he is far inferior to the likes of Tang Renquan, he is still considered a gatekeeper of the top companies in Wanghai City and is barely aware of the existence of the Administration.

His mother, Sun Jing, is from a prominent family and has been in politics for generations. She currently holds an important position in a government agency.

Although Yu Mingxuan cannot be said to have started from scratch, he spent a lot of effort in developing and expanding the company in his early years. He did many things himself and was not in Wanghai City for many years.

Sun Jing is also a workaholic. She is basically only at home when she sleeps. She leaves before dawn in the morning and often works until late at night. Although they live in the same room, they may not see their children all day. As an alternative left-behind child, Yu Siyi has never lacked for material things in life and has everything she wants. However, for a child, economic conditions are important, but not the most important.

Children are different from adults. Adults will feel happy if they have money. They are willing to work like slaves for money, give up their dignity, and even work overtime at the risk of sudden death.

But for children, as long as they are not worried about food and clothing, the love from their parents is more important.

With abundant material resources, Yu Siyi quickly became the leader among the kids in school, and she was extremely well-known both inside and outside the school.

But most of the guys attracted by her rich personality were not good people. After hanging out with these guys for a long time and starting to become rebellious during adolescence, Yu Siyi got her first earring in the first year of junior high school.

She thought her mother would be angry and even scold her, but what she didn't expect was that Sun Jing didn't realize that she had pierced her ears until the end of the semester.

Her rebellious mentality made her even more radical. She got a second earring, a lip stud, and finally a small five-pointed star tattooed on the back of her hand.

This time, Sun Jing finally discovered something and became as furious as she expected.

Not only did Sun Jing take action for the first time, she also took a long vacation, personally took her to have her tattoos removed, confiscated all her jewelry, sent people to disperse the bad friends around her, and watched her study and mend her ways.

This lasted for half a month, and when Sun Jing noticed that the child was getting better, she returned to her work.

However, after this experience, Yu Siyi seemed to have discovered the code to getting attention. She began to deliberately move in the opposite direction of her parents' expectations in order to attract her parents' attention and gain their attention again.

Once, twice, and continuous success made her path dependent, and she went overboard each time, gradually getting out of control.

In her sophomore year, she deliberately handed in a blank paper and disrupted the order in the examination room. After being asked to leave the classroom and criticized by the whole school, the attention she had expected never came.

On the night of the criticism, Yu Mingxuan flew back to Wanghai City overnight and had a long talk with Yu Siyi.

Tell her that everyone must pay the price for their actions, and that as a father, all he can do is to ensure that she has enough food and clothing for the rest of her life, but it is up to her to decide what kind of person she wants to become.

The logic is right, but Yu Siyi, who has become rebellious and path-dependent, no longer listens to reason and continues to do as she pleases.

Little did she know that Yu Mingxuan and Sun Jing were completely disappointed in her, and they both started practicing the trumpet.

The following year, Yu Siyi's younger sister was born. From then on, no matter what she did, she could never get attention.

She even had a bright and eye-catching butterfly tattooed on her chest. When her mother saw it while she was on the phone, she just frowned, shook her head, and went to the next room to make the call.

Later, Yu Siyi completely let herself go and became what she is now.

Wu Chang felt a strong emotion called love from her, which should be related to the lack of care in her childhood.

However, judging from her personal experiences in the file, her heart was not bad. Even if she deliberately caused trouble to attract her parents' attention, she only did it to herself and had no record of hurting classmates or others.

Even when she let herself go in the later period, she was restrained within a certain range. According to the police records, she didn't even have a record of fighting. She shouldn't have suddenly turned into a perverted murderer.

Zhao Yan quickly drove to Yu Siyi's residence, a detached villa located in Donghu District.

Yu Mingxuan promised Yu Siyi that if she could be admitted to university, he would allow her to move out. Since her freshman year, Yu Siyi has lived alone in this house.

Wu Chang and Zhao Yan went down to the garage, where a strong smell of blood lingered.

In cases involving extraordinary people, the crime scene is usually kept for 72 hours, so the layout inside the garage remains the same.

The garage was covered with transparent plastic sheets to ensure that blood would not remain on the floor and walls. Two hooks and an iron pipe hung from the ceiling, and the victim was fixed on them.

Various tools are placed in the garage, such as a complete set of skinning knives of different sizes, professional blood drawers, drugs to maintain consciousness, instruments for cutting flesh and internal organs, waterproof body bags, etc.

Just looking at what these guys were doing, I would have thought I had entered an underground organ trafficking workshop.

There is everything here, but there is only one thing missing, and that is resentment.

Zhao Yan asked: "Did you find anything?"

Wu Chang shook his head. "Not yet. We need to observe further."

Zhao Yan took out a cigarette and wanted to light it, but seeing that the scene around him was not suitable for smoking, he put it back.

Wu Chang asked in confusion: "When did you become so addicted to smoking?"

Zhao Yan sighed and said, "If you see more cases like this, you'll become addicted to smoking. It's good that there are no clues. Do you know why I advise you to leave that woman alone? She is not normal anymore, and she will make everyone who gets close to her abnormal as well."

Wu Chang: "Why is it abnormal?"

Zhao Yan said: "Her cognition has already departed from that of a human. When I asked her about the case, she did not hide anything about what she had done. She answered every detail, and her face was full of joy."

"She showed no remorse or thought she had made a mistake. It was more like she was showing off to me than confessing."

Wu Chang asked curiously, "What are you showing off?"

"Showing off that someone loves her." Zhao Yan's voice was a little muffled.

"When I asked her about her motive, she said that if you love someone, you should give your all to that person. I felt horrified when I heard this."

Wu Chang looked at Zhao Yan in surprise and said, "Not really. This statement is not that outrageous."

Zhao Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Because I just saw a document before the interrogation. On the night when Yu Siyi was arrested, wasn't the victim still alive and conscious?"

"In the ambulance, the victim kept speaking intermittently. Because he had bitten his tongue off due to the pain, the accompanying personnel could not hear what he said. They could only record it and send it back to the police station for analysis."

"Before questioning her, the results of the voice analysis had just come out and the victim was saying: 'Let me go, I want to give her everything I have'."

Wu Chang looked thoughtful. Even the most lecherous man or the most thirsty licker would not go to this extent.

It is not difficult to see from what the victims said that they should have been affected by extraordinary abilities. This influence controlled their thinking, making them think that they were "in love" with Yu Siyi, and that love requires sacrificing everything, including life.

Perhaps it was because of this that they were full of love before they died, without resentment or obsession in their hearts, so he could not see any resentment in Yu Siyi and the area around the crime scene.

But there is a question, is the so-called dedication just a slogan, or is Yu Siyi really asking for something from the victims?
Judging from the current clues, the bodies and skins of the victims were kept intact in the house. It seemed that Yu Siyi killed them just to prove that they loved her.

But is this really the case?

An inspiration flashed through his mind, and Wu Chang looked at the special glass jar containing blood on the ground. He opened the file again and looked through the information inside.

The skin, bones, flesh, and internal organs are all intact, but the blood is gone!

He looked at Zhao Yan and said, "Where did she get the victim's blood?"

Zhao Yan frowned and thought, "Blood, let me think about it."

"When she explained the process, she said she flushed all the blood down the drain. We detected blood components in the drain and did not suspect anything."

Wu Chang asked, "Were there any members with polygraph skills present during your interrogation?"

Zhao Yan shook his head and said, "There is only one person in the bureau who has similar capabilities. He is very busy now. How can he take care of such things? Not to mention polygraph examiners, even polygraph machines are not enough. For cases like this with clear clues and evidence, we didn't use those things."

Wu Chang said immediately: "Maybe Yu Siyi didn't tell the truth. Go back and find her and interrogate her again. This time, you must have a polygraph examiner with you. If not, go find Jian Xing. He has a high status, and the people in the bureau will not assign him too complicated tasks. They will only let him deal with powerful enemies. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be idle."

Zhao Yan asked, "Are you not going back with me? I'm not familiar with Jian Xing, and I'm afraid I won't be able to invite him."

Wu Chang: "Not now, I have somewhere else to go."

Zhao Yan: "What place is so important?"

Wu Chang said, "The owner of the Emotion Art Museum might know something about Yu Siyi."
