Siheyuan: Hang Jia Dongxu, smash Banggeng to death!

"Okay, I'll go find the chief right now, but you guys better not cause any trouble, or else..."

Xiao Wang didn't finish speaking, but his meaning was clear.

Lin Feng, Zhang San, Li Tiezhu, and the others, seeing that things were going well, nodded repeatedly, "Understood, understood, we won't cause trouble, officer, please go quickly!"

Xiao Wang glanced at them, then turned and left.

Li Tiezhu sat back down in the corner, muttering to himself, "Who will the evil spirit target next? Could it be me? Then I'll get my share of the money..."

Lin Feng slumped to the ground, muttering, "If only I had known... if only I hadn't been so greedy for that little bit of advantage..."

Zhang San remained relatively calm, but cold sweat was seeping from his forehead.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

Li Tiezhu's wife, Aunt Li, pointed to the corner, her fingers trembling: "Yu Li... Yu Li and Yan Bugui's youngest daughter... disappeared."

"Officer, let us out! Let me out, I don't want to die!!"

Everyone turned their heads and looked at the corner.

It was deserted there.

Just a minute ago, Yu Li was sitting there holding Yan Jiedi, gently comforting her.

Now, both of them have disappeared.

Just like Xu Damao, he vanished into thin air.

"No...no..."

Lin Feng slumped to the ground, his pants soaked, but he felt nothing. "I'm going to die... I'm going to die, the evil spirit has been watching us... it's been watching us all along..."

Zhang San's face was ashen.

I was just thinking about how to reason with the police and how to fight for my life.

Now he understands.

There's no reasoning with evil spirits.

If it wants to kill, then it will kill.

It can take whoever it wants.

What laws, what police, what principles, what justice—they're all a joke in the face of such things.

"Help! Someone else has gone missing!!"

Li Tiezhu rushed to the iron gate and pounded on it desperately, pleading, "Let us out! Please let us out! We want to die outside! We don't want to die here!!"

The others also realized what was happening and rushed to the door, crying, screaming, and pleading, creating chaos.

Xiao Wang hadn't gone far when he heard this and turned around to look. Sure enough, Yu Li and Yan Jiedi had also vanished into thin air.

Oops!

Another major incident has occurred.

He immediately took off running, shouting, "Chief, something terrible has happened! Chief, something terrible has happened!!"

Xiao Wang?

What happened now?

Director Zhao looked at Xiao Wang, his face grim, as Xiao Wang rushed into the office. "What's the matter? Why are you in such a panic? Can't you see we're receiving leaders?"

"Chief...something terrible has happened!"

Xiao Wang blurted out, "Chief, something terrible has happened!"

The office fell silent the moment those words were spoken.

The leaders from the two departments who had come to investigate Zhang Jianguo's disappearance looked at each other with strange expressions.

Director Li smiled with satisfaction. This time, he wasn't called upon; Xiao Wang deserved praise.

One of the middle-aged men, wearing glasses, pushed up his glasses and said with a half-smile, "Director Zhao, the comrades here... are quite interesting."

Director Zhao's face turned ashen instantly.

He had only heard Li Lei mention Xiao Wang's problem before, but he had never experienced it himself.

Hearing this for the first time now feels like being cursed to my face.

"Xiao Wang!"

Director Zhao lowered his voice, but the anger in it was obvious to everyone. "What nonsense are you spouting!"

"No...Chief..."

Xiao Wang was so anxious he could barely speak, "The detention center... two more people have disappeared from the detention center, Yu Li and Yan Bugui's youngest daughter, just now, vanished into thin air!"

Director Zhao was stunned.

The two department leaders and Director Li were also stunned.

"What?"

The middle-aged man wearing glasses was the first to realize, "Disappeared again? At the police station?"

"Yes...yes..."

Xiao Wang nodded vigorously, "Right under our noses, after Xu Damao disappeared, no one slept."

Just now… Yu Li and her sister-in-law also disappeared. We didn't even see how they vanished; they just disappeared.

The office fell into dead silence.

Director Zhao felt a throbbing pain in his temples, recalling what Li Lei had told Xiao Wang earlier—"What can the police do if an evil spirit wants to kill someone?"

Now, evil spirits are killing people in the police station.

No, it's not killing, it's "taking away".

They didn't even leave behind the bodies.

"Take me to see it."

The middle-aged man wearing glasses stood up, his expression serious. "Director Zhao, let's go together. I want to see what kind of thing is so arrogant."

Director Zhao took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay."

The group hurriedly left the office and headed towards the detention center.

Xiao Wang followed at the back, with only one thought in his mind.

It’s over.

This time it's really over.

The bureau chief encountered this kind of thing the first time he experienced his own "summoning".

Will I still be able to stay in the criminal investigation team in the future?

At this moment, in the Spirit Spring Space.

Yu Li and Yan Jiedi stood blankly on the black soil, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, and at the octagonal table, Xu Damao was covered in wounds, bleeding profusely, and clearly dead...

"Where...where is this?"

Yu Li's voice trembled.

Yan Jiedi clung tightly to her arm, her face pale, too frightened to utter a single word.

Lin Tian looked at them, his face expressionless.

Welcome!

"Next, it's your turn."

Yu Li's pupils suddenly contracted. "You're Lin Tian? How could it be you? Did you kill Xu Damao?"

"Yu Li, it's been a long time."

Lin Tian greeted them warmly, as if they were old friends, but the kitchen knife in his hand was dripping with blood.

Yu Li, terrified, protested, "Lin Tian, ​​don't come any closer! There's a cause for every crime, and the debtor is responsible. We're innocent, you can't kill us."

"So, a fine example of 'every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor'?"

Lin Tian sneered, "Do you really think you're innocent? Yu Li, don't try to act all innocent."

My parents are dead, and I have no heart to distinguish right from wrong. You can all go to hell to repent.

Yan Jiedi burst into tears, shaking her head desperately, "Lin Tian, ​​please don't kill me! I...I'm still young...I don't know any better..."

"Immature?"

Lin Tian laughed, a cold laugh. "Does being immature give you the right to do bad things?"

He raised the kitchen knife and approached.

Yu Li suddenly stepped in front of Yan Jiedi: "Lin Tian, ​​if you want to kill someone, kill me! Let Jiedi go, she's just a child!"

"child?"

"Who isn't a child at heart?"

"I'm only eight years old, am I arrogant?"

A complex emotion flashed in Lin Tian's eyes. "My sister is also a child. Who will let her go?"

Yan Jiedi and Banggeng loved to bully my sister. Back then, your husband and his gang beat me to the point of near death. Who cared that we were just children?

You bullied us so much because we were just two kids with no adults to back us up. Now you're scared? Too late.

Yu Li stared at the kitchen knife, her whole body trembling. She could feel Yan Jiedi trembling behind her and hear the little girl's suppressed sobs.

I want to live.

Alive.

"Lin Tian, ​​don't be impulsive. Look... how about this?"

Yu Li's mind was racing.

Begging for mercy is useless, reasoning is useless, and bringing up his status as a "child" is useless; Lin Tian himself is just a child.

What else can we use?

What can I use to move him?

money?

The Lin family's savings, pension, and house had long been divided up by the people in the courtyard house, and her family also got a share.

Now you want to pay me back?

That's so fake.

Besides, she was penniless, with no money at all.

repent?

Does she mean she knows she was wrong?

Lin Tian has already made it clear that he's too lazy to listen to this nonsense.

What else can save your life?

Yu Li's gaze swept over Lin Tian's youthful yet cold face, and a thought that she herself found absurd flashed through her mind.

"Lin Tian, ​​Jie Di and I are willing to be your slaves, your servants, your child brides, what do you say?"

"As long as you let us go, we'll do whatever you want with us."

As she spoke, she leaned forward slightly, deliberately leaving a large opening in her collar to reveal the heavy burden she carried.

Although her clothes were disheveled and her face was still wet with tears, Yu Li knew that she was pretty. In the courtyard, besides Qin Huairu, she was the oldest.

Lin Tian was stunned.

There was surprise, disdain, and... disgust.

Seduction?

Lin Tian sneered inwardly.

Yu Li, oh Yu Li, you really are... we can't underestimate you.

Your Yu family really is a lineage of the same kind; the younger sister seduced Factory Director Yang to become a broadcaster.

I really don't know what you were thinking when you chose to seduce an eight-year-old child.

Could it be that they realized they have the soul of an adult?
