In the upscale residential area of ​​Guyong Shangcheng.

The artificial canopy is simulating the deepest indigo blue before dawn, and tens of thousands of nano streetlights flow with cold white light rivers along the crisscrossing aerial corridors.

This luxury residence, originally worth hundreds of millions, is now completely surrounded by police tape, with dozens of city management personnel standing on the outer perimeter alone.

He analyzed the crime scene with a serious expression.

In the master bedroom of the villa, the atmosphere was even more oppressive and suffocating.

The traffic team leader lay on his back on the large suspended bed, wearing a silk nightgown, with his hands naturally placed at his sides, and even a faint smile on his face.

If it weren't for the fact that his chest wasn't rising and falling and his skin had begun to turn an unnatural pale white, anyone would have thought he was just sleeping too soundly.

The police forensic doctor squatted by the bed, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.

"Sir, this is impossible..." the forensic doctor murmured to himself, his voice filled with disbelief.

"All physiological indicators showed that his heart, liver, kidneys, brain... had no organic damage, no signs of poisoning or external impact, and not even subcutaneous bleeding."

"Could it be sudden death?" the sheriff added blankly.

"Sudden death always has a cause. Myocardial infarction can lead to myocardial necrosis, cerebral hemorrhage can lead to intracranial hemorrhage, and even the rarest arrhythmia will leave traces on the heart, but he... had nothing," the forensic doctor added.

Just then, all the electronic devices in the room suddenly flickered at the same time, and the personal terminal screen on the deceased's bedside table also lit up briefly before quickly going dark again.

It's as if something is still left here.

Just then, a conversation came from the villa entrance.

Two figures quickly arrived at the door of the deceased's bedroom, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Walking in front was Shen Zhixia, Xu Ri Dong Cuo's fiancée.

She was dressed in a pure black military uniform, with silver stars and swords embroidered on her epaulets, exuding a cold aura that kept strangers at bay.

Chen Feng followed behind her.

However, Chen Feng was not wearing the Martial God Palace's combat uniform at this moment. Instead, he was dressed in a black casual outfit, which seemed somewhat out of place with the serious atmosphere around him.

Ignoring everyone's gaze, Shen Zhixia walked straight to the bedside, put on the electronic prosthetic eye from the Special Affairs Department, scanned the room, and even scanned the traffic team leader's corpse from head to toe.

A few seconds later, she turned to the police chief in charge of the case, her voice icy cold and devoid of any warmth:

"From this moment forward, the jurisdiction over this case is transferred to the Special Affairs Division of Gu Yongjun's military headquarters. All police officers must immediately evacuate the scene, take all your equipment with you, and forget everything you have seen here."

The sheriff clearly recognized Shen Zhixia's position and immediately asked, "Isn't this a simple murder case?"

"Are you asking me a question now?" Shen Zhixia retorted, then explained impatiently, "Do you think it's an ordinary murder case if someone dies inexplicably in their own bed without any injuries?"

"Okay, comrade, we'll leave immediately."

All the officers had evacuated the bedroom.

The villa's smart door clicked shut, locking itself out of all outside noise.

Shen Zhixia then raised her hand and removed the electronic prosthetic eye that gleamed with a cold light, revealing her originally clear but tired eyes below.

She rubbed her temples, and the icy aura that had kept people at a distance vanished almost instantly, leaving only the solemnity she wore when facing Chen Feng.

"Chen Feng, is it the one you know?" Shen Zhixia asked in a low voice. "This is the fifth victim. All of them died in the exact same way: no wounds, no poisoning, and peaceful expressions. It's almost certain they were attacked by the Illusion Demon."

Chen Feng did not answer immediately.

He picked up the Special Affairs Department's equipment and began scanning the deceased's body directly.

"It's hard to say," Chen Feng explained. "As far as I know, the residual energy of Teguer should be highly corrosive, but when I saw him this time, I didn't find anything. I suspect that he may have cultivated other bloodlines of the Illusion Demon, or updated his racial talent."

Buzz—

With a very faint buzzing sound, a ghostly blue light began to erupt from the instrument, spreading throughout the entire bedroom. It was as if countless tiny particles were swirling and rearranging in the air.

The originally blurry and chaotic scenery gradually became clear.

As the blue light from the instrument gradually stabilized, a semi-transparent light screen appeared in front of the two of them.

The screen immediately began playing a video of what had happened in the bedroom a few hours earlier.

The air in the room distorted without warning, like a piece of glass softened by intense heat. Then, an extremely faint silver light seeped out from the void, slowly coalescing into a tall, humanoid silhouette.

That's not Teguer.

Chen Feng's pupils suddenly contracted.

Chen Feng had once seen the moving form of Teguer, which was a constantly writhing black mist with jagged lightning flashing at its edges.

However, the thing in the light screen was completely different.

The entire fusion process lasted a full three minutes.

When the last fragment of spatial fluctuation disappeared from the traffic team leader's forehead, the silver light also vanished completely.

The traffic team leader's chest heaved violently on the bed, swelling at that moment, followed by an extremely bizarre struggle...

The light screen flickered once, then went completely dark.

The bedroom was deathly silent, with only the soft breathing of Chen Feng and Shen Zhixia remaining.

"It wasn't him." Chen Feng's voice was unusually solemn. "Teguer's methods are extremely brutal and ruthless, he wouldn't be so careful. Clearly, the one who harmed these people was another illusion demon."

"Okay, I understand. I'll have my colleague take over," Shen Zhixia nodded and said.

Chen Feng nodded, then turned and glanced at the table next to the deceased's bed...

Just as his gaze swept over the metal table lamp by the bedside, Chen Feng suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Shen Zhixia was engrossed in issuing instructions to her subordinates on her personal terminal when she seemed to notice Chen Feng's unusual behavior. She immediately looked up and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Did you discover anything else?"

Chen Feng remained silent.

He walked slowly to the lamp and gently touched the base of the lamp with his finger.

It was a titanium alloy plate that had been polished to an extremely smooth finish. Under the cold white light, it gleamed with a cold luster and looked no different from ordinary furniture.

However, when Chen Feng pressed the switch on the table lamp, the expected cold white light did not illuminate.

Instead, there was a very strange, irregular flickering.

Sizzle— Sizzle—

The lamp bulb seemed to have a faulty connection, producing a faint electrical hum each time it lit up. It looked like some kind of carefully crafted code, tapping on the retinal nerves of the two people.

"Be careful!" Shen Zhixia's expression immediately changed. She took out another device from her backpack and began collecting and translating the information about the killer left on the lamp.

"This is not a normal current fault; it's an energy pulse coding problem!"

Just then, a familiar voice, so familiar that it made Chen Feng's muscles tense instantly, came directly from the "Demon Decoder".

The voice was hoarse and rough, like scraping glass with a rusty piece of iron, carrying a deep-seated violence and mockery—it was Teguer.

"Long time no see, Chen Feng..."
