Water Margin: My 108 Heroes Come from All Heavens

Liang Shan frowned.

His fingertips traced the words on the file.

This case.

This is completely different from the previous stories of "hens not laying eggs" and "pork becoming spirits." The description of that pool of black blood doesn't seem like something a human could leave behind; it seems more like... some kind of filth.

He quickly pulled out a few more files.

The playful look on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by solemnity.

"The Mysterious Deaths of a Family of Seven in the Northern Suburbs," "The Disappearance of the Cloth Shop Owner on East Street, with Claw Marks Left in the Shop," "An Unidentified Corpse Found in the Moat, Without Wounds but Without Blood"...

These cases.

Each one was extremely bizarre.

The scene was filled with either black blood, strange claw marks, or bizarrely disfigured corpses—far beyond what human beings could have accomplished.

"Judge Su, don't you find anything amiss with these cases?"

Liang Shan pointed to the description in the dossier and asked in a serious tone.

Su Wen leaned closer to take a look.

Scratched his head.

Looking bewildered: "Something's not right? What's wrong? People report missing family members or mysterious deaths, so I open a case. Did I miss some detail?"

Liang Shan: "..."

He was completely convinced.

Su Wen is obsessed with individual cases; he only handles filing cases.

Regardless of how outrageous or bizarre the case is, the main focus is on being conscientious and responsible.

As for the hidden story behind the case, he didn't think about it at all.

Liang Shan took a deep breath.

Pointing to the words "black blood," "claw marks," and "dried-up corpse," he said in a deep voice, "Look, these cases all have strange traces at the scene. Didn't you suspect anything?"

Su Wen blinked.

His brows furrowed into a small knot as he pondered deeply for a long time.

Suddenly, my eyes lit up.

Slapping his thigh, he exclaimed, "Could it be...?"

"Is someone practicing some kind of evil kung fu?"

"puff--"

Liang Shan, who was drinking tea, spat it out.

So after all that thinking, this is what you came up with?

Su Wen looked at him.

He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "You probably don't know this, but there are actually martial arts masters in this world, and naturally there are also people who practice evil martial arts, which are extremely cruel."

Liang Shan: "..."

Let me tell you something you might not know.

"These are likely the work of demons."

He stopped keeping him in suspense and simply revealed his guess.

"demon?"

Su Wen's eyes widened: "Impossible! How could there be demons in this world?"

Liang Shan did not answer him.

Instead, he picked up those strange files and flipped through them again, jotting down key information on the paper as he went: black blood, claw marks, shriveled corpses, crimes committed at night, and targets mostly the elderly, women, and children...

After repeated analysis.

He became increasingly certain.

This is absolutely the work of demons.

They hide in every corner of Kaifeng, coming out to cause trouble in the dead of night, without anyone noticing.

"Now I see it for sure! This isn't Kaifeng City, it's Gotham City!"

"Gotham City?"

Su Wen looked puzzled. "What place is that?"

"A place where accidents happen every day, where demons and monsters roam freely, and where the people are suffering terribly."

Liang Shan told the truth.

I thought...

I traveled to the Song Dynasty to farm and enjoy a life of leisure.

The result was a useless system, and even this world was completely different from the historical Song Dynasty.

Apart from having the same name.

Everything else was beyond his expectations.

"It seems that the job of the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review is more difficult than I imagined."

Liang Shan rubbed his throbbing temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

This is no judge.

He is clearly a demon exorcist.

And he...

Although he is a transmigrator bound to a system, he is still a complete weakling at the moment.

"We have no choice but to call for reinforcements."

A white moon appeared in his mind.

Lin Daiyu.

Grandmaster level.

His marksmanship was superb; he even killed the demon monkey of Flower Fruit Mountain.

Dealing with these demons hiding in the shadows shouldn't be too difficult.

and.

The favorability rating is currently around 90.

According to the system, a favorability rating of 90 means that requests will be granted.

Although there may be occasional mood swings, well, women are bound to have those one or two days a month.

Can understand.

……

The Jia family mansion.

Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Lin Daiyu leaned against the soft couch.

She held a crumpled letter in her hand, looking at it over and over again more than a dozen times, a slight smile playing on her lips before she quickly suppressed it.

"Miss, how many times have you read it? You've practically worn a hole in the letter."

Zijuan came in carrying a tea tray, looking helpless.

"nonsense."

Lin Daiyu folded the letter without changing her expression and stuffed it under her pillow: "I was just flipping through it casually."

"Just flipping through it casually? You've been flipping through it all afternoon."

Zijuan sighed and placed the teacup on the small table: "If you miss Magistrate Liang, just send someone to tell him to come. Why bother..."

"Who misses him?!"

Lin Daiyu's voice suddenly rose, and two blushes appeared on her face.

He quickly changed the subject: "By the way, how's the rumor I asked you to spread going?"

"Miss, don't worry. I did as you said and had people spread the word in teahouses and taverns. Now the name of County Magistrate Liang is known everywhere."

Speaking of it.

Zijuan couldn't help but say, "Aren't we going a bit too far by doing this?"

"This is exactly the effect I wanted!"

Lin Daiyu snorted, "Think about it, everyone in Kaifeng curses him and hates him, but I don't despise him, and I'm the only one who pays attention to him. In the end, won't he have no choice but to stay by my side?"

Zijuan's lips twitched as she listened.

"Moreover, this is a two-birds-with-one-stone strategy for me."

Lin Daiyu's eyes curved into crescents, but her tone turned icy: "Liangshan has already become infamous. The closer I get to Liangshan, the more anxious and jealous Jia Baoyu will become, the deeper his obsession will be, and the more unstable the immortal jade within him will become."

This was her true purpose in coming to the Jia family mansion.

If she can obtain the Immortal Jade, she can break through to the Grandmaster level, and may even step into the Celestial Realm.

At that time.

Then he would have the ability to avenge his father.

"But the speed at which the immortal jade detaches is still too slow."

She pondered for a moment, then looked at Zijuan: "Tomorrow, go to the street and find a few more storytellers, give them more money, and have them make up some more exciting stories."

"Do I have to make this up?"

Zijuan hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "The other day you asked me to make up a story about him and the old lady, which made the old lady so angry that she hasn't woken up yet."

"Someone has already set their sights on the Immortal Jade; delay could lead to unforeseen circumstances."

Lin Daiyu shook her head, her eyes showing worry.

"I really can't think of anything to make up."

Zijuan looked distressed.

"Just say... that he's actually gay and has an ambiguous relationship with a servant in the manor."

"Cut...cut sleeve?!"

Zijuan nearly bit her tongue. "Miss, this...this is too cruel!"

"What's so cruel about it?"

Lin Daiyu said confidently, "That way, those girls won't have any designs on him."

"But... what if County Magistrate Liang finds out..."

"So what if I know?"

Lin Daiyu snorted, picked up her teacup, and took a sip: "Does he think he can come and confront me?"
