After nine lifetimes of reincarnation, the yandere villainous heroine descends.

Suzhou City! Ninghe District!

A brand-new Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan, bathed in the soft moonlight and the vibrant neon lights, slowly drove into the underground garage of a luxury villa.

As the dim lights in the garage gradually came on, the car slowly turned off, the roar of the engine gradually disappeared, and the entire garage fell into a brief silence.

With a "click," the car door opened gently from the inside, revealing a long, slender leg with beautiful lines, gracefully and calmly extending out.

Su Man gently stroked the silky strands of hair that fell onto her shoulder, then quietly closed the car door.

The pair of exquisite combat boots on her feet made a crisp, rhythmic sound as she walked gracefully toward the elevator.

In no time, Su Man quickly arrived at her doorstep by elevator.

After opening the door, she was about to change her shoes when she was surprised to find a pair of women's high heels that she had never seen before.

Su Man frowned slightly, immediately realizing that someone was in the room, but before she could investigate further...

A series of clear footsteps came from the living room, and then a figure slowly came into view.

Looking at the voluptuous, tall, and graceful figure in front of her, Su Man was taken aback for a moment, then blurted out, "Cousin."

"Cousin, what brings you here all of a sudden? And why do you have a key to my house?"

On the sofa, Su Man handed over a cup of warm tea and asked with a puzzled look.

Su Hanxue took the teacup, took a small sip, and smiled faintly, "What, can't my cousin come here anymore?"

"Of course I can come, but I clearly remember that you've always been a teacher at Tenichi University in Kyoto, right? How come you suddenly have time to come see me now?"

Su Man stared intently at Su Hanxue's beautiful face, which resembled that of a fairy, her eyes filled with doubt.

Deep in her memory, her cousin had lived in Kyoto since childhood, making it extremely difficult to see her on ordinary days. She would only return to Su City for the annual family gathering.

The two had an exceptionally good relationship among all the members of the Su family.

Although we do keep in touch via mobile phone occasionally, it's not very frequent, as we each have many things to do.

"I've been transferred to Shenwu University," Su Hanxue said calmly and unhurriedly.

"Shenwu University?"

Su Man was slightly taken aback, her mind still racing, trying to figure out which city Shenwu University was located in.

But soon, she suddenly remembered that Shenwu University was located in Suzhou.

Su Man immediately put on an extremely surprised expression and asked anxiously, "Cousin, how did you end up at Shenwu University in Su City? And when did you come here?"

"It was just adjusted a few days ago."

Su Hanxue smiled softly, her voice gentle.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner? I could have given you a welcome feast!" Su Man complained, her lips slightly pouting.

"I've come to see you, haven't I?"

Su Hanxue continued with a smile.

"Cousin, why were you suddenly transferred to Shenwu University? Who gave you that order? Could it be Aunt's doing?"

Su Man suddenly asked, her eyes filled with curiosity.

As the highest-level university, Tianyi University provides far more financial and other benefits than Shenwu University.

Su Hanxue has lived in the capital since she was a child, and she is also a member of the Su family. Logically speaking, she has been at Tianyi University for many years and is considered a senior teacher. Logically speaking, she shouldn't have been suddenly transferred to Shenwu University.

"This is my meaning."

Su Hanxue answered with a faint smile.

"Does your aunt agree to you doing this?"

Su Man became even more curious. In her memory, Su Hanxue took her mother Su Qingqing's surname.

Her aunt was a few years older than her father, and Su Qingqing was particularly strict with Su Hanxue from a young age.

Almost everything, big or small, had to be done according to her wishes, even what to eat and how much to eat for three meals a day had to follow her strict standards.

When Su Qingqing was mentioned, Su Hanxue lowered her eyes, staring intently at the steaming tea in her cup, and remained silent.

Seeing this, Su Man understood that Su Hanxue had most likely transferred to Shenwu University without Su Qingqing's knowledge.

"Cousin, now that you've come to Suzhou, didn't your fiancé, Mr. Xu, come with you?"

Su Man seemed to suddenly realize something crucial, and quickly turned her head, her eyes darting around as she continued to ask with eager eyes.

A year ago, she learned by chance from her father that Su Hanxue had actually signed a marriage contract with the Xu family in Kyoto.

It should be noted that the Xu family has deep roots and extensive connections in Kyoto, and their strength is much greater than that of the Su family.

Take the mysterious and influential Mingyou Bureau for example. Among its many high-ranking members, at least 30% are from the Xu family.

Upon hearing this, Su Hanxue, who had been keeping her eyes down and silent, turned her head slightly and glanced at her indifferently.

Su Man looked completely bewildered, her whole being bewildered and at a loss, utterly clueless.

Then, Su Hanxue, her face calm and composed, downed the still-steaming tea in one gulp without hesitation before saying in a flat tone, "I don't like him."

Upon hearing this, even if Su Man was dull and clumsy, she could now fully understand that the main reason Su Hanxue was transferred to Shenwu University in Su City was because of the young master of the Xu family with whom she was engaged.

Su Man actually felt very sorry for her cousin, whose entire life trajectory had been firmly controlled and arranged by her aunt, and now she couldn't even make her own decisions about major life events.

This is something that would be hard for anyone to accept, after all, no one is born a bird trapped in a cage, deprived of freedom and unable to fly on its own.

"It's okay, cousin. I'll be here for you from now on."

Su Man didn't know how to comfort her better, so she just patted her hand gently and said softly.

Su Hanxue smiled slightly, her eyes filled with determination, and said, "This time, I'm finally living for myself."

Just as Su Man was about to say something more, a ringing sound suddenly interrupted her.

Picking up her phone, she saw it was a call from the Mingyou Bureau. Without hesitation, Su Man answered immediately.

"Captain Su, something terrible has happened! There's been a death in a small restaurant on Leping Snack Street. This time, it's a family of five, and none of them survived."

A hurried and tense voice came from the other end of the phone.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Su Man's face instantly turned extremely ugly.

She then followed up with, "Was it done by the same person?"

"Judging from the method of the crime, it was the same person. All that was left of the five people was flesh and blood; their skin was completely gone."

The other end responded quickly.

Su Man couldn't sit still any longer and quickly stood up from the sofa, saying, "Immediately seal off the scene and investigate every suspicious person. I'm going there right now."

After saying that, Su Man hung up the phone and turned to Su Hanxue, saying, "Cousin, I have something extremely important to take care of right now, so I can't be with you for the time being."

"What happened? I'll go with you! If anyone's causing trouble, I can help you."

Su Hanxue also stood up immediately.

Su Man hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

boom!

As the roar of the car engine began, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, which had just been parked, drove out of the underground parking lot again.

On the bus, Su Hanxue also asked what had happened.

Su Man did not hide anything and told the whole story of what had happened over the past month.

A month ago, the Mingyou Bureau suddenly received a murder case. At first, they thought it was just a revenge killing between ordinary people, but when they arrived at the scene, they found that things were far more complicated than they had imagined.

Initially, a family of three died inexplicably at home. Their deaths were extremely gruesome, with their skin and blood completely stripped away. Furthermore, the police detected the unique aura of cultivators at the scene.

Later, the Mingyou Bureau discovered through the surrounding surveillance that someone had entered that person's house.

They then quickly searched his house, but found nothing. However, they eventually found a skinless corpse in another place.

After comparison, it was discovered that this person was the one who broke into the family of three's home, and according to the time calculation, this person died an hour before the family of three.

Therefore, it can be inferred that this unknown cultivator possesses an extremely bizarre skin-changing technique.

The Mingyou Bureau also conducted extensive investigations in secret, but ultimately found nothing.

Then the trail went cold until recently, when several more horrific murders suddenly emerged, with the modus operandi exactly the same as before.

In just seven days, 15 people have died. Adding the initial three and the five who died tonight, a total of 23 people have died.

This has escalated to an extremely serious level. No matter the cost, the Mingyou Bureau must apprehend this person and bring him to justice.

Half an hour later!

Su Man strode into the crime scene.

"Captain Su."

"Captain Su."

Several members of the Mingyou Bureau had been waiting there for a long time. When they saw Su Man arrive, they greeted her respectfully.

Su Man nodded slightly in acknowledgment, then stepped across the sealed-off boundary without hesitation and walked inside.

Su Hanxue followed closely behind. Just as the Mingyou Bureau members were about to step forward to stop her, they heard Su Man's voice: "I brought her."

Upon hearing this, the group's gazes instantly turned to curiosity as they looked Su Hanxue up and down. However, since she was brought by Su Man, they didn't dare to presume to inquire about her identity.

As you approach the shop, you see Yuan Xue with dark circles under her eyes, intently fiddling with the instrument in her hands.

"Can we locate and track it based on the scents left at the scene?"

Su Man asked directly.

"This person is extremely cautious, leaving only a trace of his aura. Moreover, based on the inference from this aura, this person has very likely already entered the Golden Core Realm."

Yuan Xue raised her head and looked at Su Man who was coming from behind her.

Upon hearing this, Su Man's face turned ugly again.

A being at the Golden Core Realm poses a threat no less than that of a demonic beast, and may even be more terrifying. Demonic beasts are enormous and difficult to hide from, while this person possesses the ability to change skins, making them difficult to patrol.

Most importantly, the Mingyou Bureau currently only has two Golden Core Realm experts, and both have gone to other cities to carry out missions.

At present, she herself is only at the Spirit Realm, and even if she encounters him, she will find it difficult to contend with him.

What puzzled Su Man was that if this person was at the Golden Core Realm, why would he bother these ordinary people?

What exactly is the purpose behind this action?

Jingle Bell!

At that moment, Su Man's cell phone rang again.

A minute later, Su Man put down her phone with a gloomy expression.

"What's wrong?"

Yuan Xue keenly noticed Su Man's unpleasant expression and quickly asked with concern.

"The higher-ups already know what's going on here. They've ordered me to capture this man within three days, or our Mingyou Bureau in Suzhou will be given a demerit."

Su Man's face was gloomy, and her tone was full of helplessness.

"hateful!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Xue clenched her fists and said angrily.

They've been investigating for so long without any leads, and now their superiors are demanding that they capture this person within three days.

At the same time, a sense of shame and indignation also welled up in Su Man's heart.

A cultivator has kept the Mingyou Bureau investigating for so long without a single clue.

This is a blatant provocation; where do they put their faces?

At that moment, a young man wearing a baseball cap outside raised the corners of his mouth in a strange smile, then turned around and disappeared into the surging crowd.

A moment later!

He walked into a dimly lit alley, slowly took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it.

He took a deep breath with a look of enjoyment before saying, "The Mingyou Bureau is nothing special."

His real name is Han Jin, and he is a member of the underground organization Blood Rose. A year ago, his younger brother died at the hands of the Mingyou Bureau, and since then he has been living in seclusion somewhere in Su City.

It wasn't until recently that he broke through to the Golden Core Realm and prepared to seek revenge on the people of the Mingyou Bureau.

However, he did not directly target the Mingyou Bureau personnel at the beginning. Instead, he started with ordinary civilians, making them anxious and overwhelmed before making his move in secret.

Blood Rose was completely unaware of this; it was all his own idea.

He attempted to skin these people from the Suzhou Municipal Bureau of the Underworld alive, one by one, in order to comfort his brother's spirit in heaven.

Just then, a person suddenly walked out from the other side of the alley.

Han Jin frowned and stared intently. He saw that the person was wearing a bright red wedding dress, a dazzling phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, and her face was completely covered.

Although her face was not clearly visible, one could tell from her graceful and curvaceous figure that she must be a beautiful woman.

Period drama? Filming?

These two words flashed through Han Jin's mind in an instant, but then a thrill ran through him. Such a captivating human skin, if it could be peeled off, would undoubtedly be an unparalleled pleasure.

With that thought in mind, Han Jin took one last deep drag on the cigarette in his hand, then stomped it out under his feet.

He moved his feet and walked towards the woman in the wedding dress opposite him.

Just a few steps away, Han Jin stopped beside the woman, and a unique, delicate fragrance wafted towards him.

Before Han Jin could speak, he heard a melodious female voice ring out in front of him.

Have you seen my husband before?
