You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

The woods were dimly lit, with only a few dim ground lamps barely illuminating the path beneath our feet.

Lin Chen moved with ghostly speed through the forest, making almost no sound.

[God-level Parkour] allowed him to ignore any complex terrain; a distance of 300 meters was just a matter of a dozen seconds for him.

Soon, a detached wooden house with lights on came into view.

When he arrived, two resort security guards who had heard the commotion were already waiting at the entrance of the cabin.

But the two security guards looked like they had seen a ghost. Their faces were ashen, and they were trembling like leaves in the wind. They didn't even bother to pick up the stun guns that had fallen to the ground. They just stared intently at the half-open door, not daring to take a single step closer.

"Inside...inside..."

A security guard saw Lin Chen rush over, pointing into the house, his lips trembling, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Lin Chen ignored them, his eyes narrowed, and he pushed open the half-closed wooden door.

Su Qingge followed closely behind and arrived at the door as well.

When Su Qingge, who was used to all kinds of bloody scenes, saw the scene inside the room, her pupils couldn't help but shrink sharply!

Lin Chen activated his [God-level Insight] the moment he pushed open the door!

The scene inside the room instantly flooded into his brain like a stream of information!

This is a standard holiday cabin, not very large, and simply furnished.

The entire room was perfectly dry; there wasn't a single trace of water on the floor or the carpet!

however!

Right in the center of the room, on the large bed covered with a clean white sheet, lay a corpse!

The deceased was a man in his thirties, one of the close henchmen who followed Wang Tianlong around the docks during the day and acted arrogantly with him!

At this moment, he lay on his back on the bed, his death extremely bizarre and terrifying!

His face had taken on an eerie bluish-purple hue, a result of oxygen deprivation!

His eyes were wide open and bloodshot, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying before he died!

His mouth was wide open, and large amounts of creamy white foam were constantly gushing out of his mouth and nose!

His hands were twisted in a contorted position, gripping his own neck tightly, his nails digging deep into his flesh!

This...this is clearly a classic, textbook example of drowning and suffocation!

The problem is, there isn't a single drop of water in this room!

Even more bizarre and chilling is this!

On the deceased's exposed skin, there were patches of eerie, dark green, seaweed-like plants growing all over it! These plants also emitted a strong, nauseating, fishy smell from the ocean!

A person who was "drowned" in an absolutely dry room and whose body was covered in seaweed?!

What... what on earth is going on?!

This scene, which defied common sense, sent chills down Su Qingge's spine!

Just then, more and more tourists and staff who had heard the news gathered at the door of the wooden house. When they saw the terrifying scene inside, a series of suppressed gasps and screams erupted from the crowd!

"Oh my god! What's going on?"

"How...how did he die?"

"This is terrifying! What kind of monster could have done this?!"

suddenly!

Among the crowd, a local tour guide, upon seeing the corpse, seemed to have all his strength drained away, and with a "thud," he knelt down on both knees!

His face drained of color, and in a trembling, desperate voice filled with boundless fear and piety, he screamed:

"It's the sea god... the sea god is angry!!!"

"This is the curse of the sea god! They stormed the docks during the day, disturbing the sea god's peace! This is the sea god's punishment!"

"We will all...die! We will all be dragged into the deep sea by the sea god!!"

boom!!!

His words were like throwing a block of ice into a pot of boiling oil!

In an instant, it ignited the "fear" chord in the hearts of all the onlookers!

"What? The curse of the sea god?"

"Really? Does God really exist?"

"Run! I don't want to die!"

Panic, like a tsunami, swept through the entire area in an instant! The crowd began to stir, and some even turned around, ready to flee this "cursed" place at all costs!

"Don't move! I'm a police officer!"

At this critical moment, Su Qingge suddenly shouted and pulled out her bright red police ID from her small bag!

"Everyone stay calm! Stay where you are! Don't run around! This is just a normal criminal case, not some kind of curse!"

Her clear yet authoritative voice, along with the credentials representing state power, finally had some effect, temporarily silencing the rioting crowd.

Just as Su Qingge was loudly maintaining order.

As the only person at the scene who remained absolutely calm, Lin Chen put on disposable gloves he had taken out of his pocket and slowly walked to the side of the corpse.

He crouched down, ignoring the horrific death and the eerie seaweed.

[A god-like sense of smell]!

He accurately detected a very peculiar, faint chemical odor that was masked by the strong, fishy smell!

A cold, disdainful smile slowly curved the corners of Lin Chen's lips.

He stood up, dusted off his hands (which weren't actually dust), and glanced at the still terrified crowd and the guide who was still kowtowing and praying on the ground.

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached the ears of everyone present clearly.

"curse?"

"It's nothing but a clumsy smokescreen."
