I discovered a world bug.

"You're Liu Xian?"

Qin Lang sat down opposite Liu Xian with an air of authority, in the same posture he had used in the interrogation room.

Of course, his attitude wasn't as friendly as it had been towards me.

With a narrowed eye, Lin Shu was afraid that if Liu Xian said something wrong, Qin Lang would rush up and twist his head off.

"I......"

Liu Xian panicked.

His voice trembled, the muscles in his face trembled, and his feet on the ground trembled.

What are these people doing?!

He was carrying a gun, a long gun at that.

Arresting people is done without any rules; they just kick the door open.

Upon entering, without even asking any questions, two burly men slapped him unconscious, then tied him to a chair before starting to question him...

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 20 ...

This is not like the police!

For a fleeting moment, Liu Xian even thought that these were mercenaries sent by his boss to teach him a lesson.

But then I thought, what kind of country is this anyway?

No matter how arrogant you are, you can't be so arrogant as to parade around with a real gun.

Therefore, the other party is most likely an official.

Perhaps, however, they are not the "ordinary official forces" I've encountered before...

To recruit or not to recruit?

Liu Xian's fear had reached its peak, but in an instant, a question suddenly came to mind.

No, you need a reason to arrest me, right?

I didn't do anything, why are you arresting me?

Yes, I have indeed done some things.

But what I did... can you catch me?!

Liu Xian made up his mind.

He still looked terrified, but he spoke much more fluently.

"I...I am Liu Xian...Who are you? What do you want with me?"

"I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless. This place is under surveillance, and the police will be here soon!"

"...Still playing dumb?"

Qin Lang frowned.

"How do you think we found you? Don't you know what you've done?"

"What did I do??"

Liu Xian feigned doubt.

"I'm just here for tourism..."

"travel?"

Qin Lang interrupted:

"They're here to kill someone, aren't they?"

Liu Xian's heart skipped a beat—the other party seemed to know more than he had expected.

But it doesn't matter, they have no evidence...

"What murder! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Who did I kill?! I didn't do anything at all!"

"Do I look like someone who would kill someone? I have no idea what you're talking about..."

Qin Lang was starting to get annoyed.

He shook his head and sighed:

"We're all ancient foxes, what are you trying to tell me about ghost stories?"

Do I really have to spell it out for you?

"On April 14th, you arrived in the tea city."

"You've come with a mission—your objective is to kill a man named Lin Shu."

"They didn't give you any specific photos, right?"

"If you saw the photo, you would know that your goal is standing right in front of you."

Qin Lang turned his head slightly towards Lin Shu, who looked at Liu Xian opposite her without showing any emotion, the snake wrapped around her wrist hissing.

Liu Xian, of course, could not see the snake.

But he could feel the faint chill permeating the room.

"I...I..."

The situation reversed once again, and Liu Xian stood there with his mouth agape, unable to speak.

If these people even know their own goals, then don't they... know everything?

Including one's own spells... curses...

There's no chance anymore.

Let's just give up?

But at least... you have to give yourself a chance!

"What else do you... know?"

Liu Xian tentatively asked:

"What do you want to know?"

"First."

Qin Lang held up one finger.

"I want to know the entire conversation between you and your boss, as well as all the information he sent you about the target."

"Don't tell me the records have been deleted—if they have, you'd better memorize them word for word."

"I've discovered something fishy about it..."

"You know, in this business, we have many ways to make you suffer terribly."

"For example, just a few days ago, we captured a Gu master in western Hunan. He had quite a few interesting things in his possession..."

Qin Lang threatened Liu Xian without any restraint, and once he said those words, Liu Xian's last glimmer of hope was shattered.

Gu hunter...

This proves that they really knew!

They came specifically for people like us!

Depend on!

How did you get here so fast?

Is it really just because of a photo I posted?!

Liu Xian closed his eyes in unbearable pain.

I admit defeat.

"I admit it..."

"I'll tell you whatever you want to know."

"My phone is over there, the password is..."

Qin Lang's eyes lit up, while Jin Yue, standing beside him, was already ready to unlock his phone.

But next second.

Liu Xian suddenly let out a "hoarse" sound from his throat.

Immediately afterwards, he froze in his chair, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

"Depend on!"

Qin Lang rushed forward, pulled out a dagger from somewhere, and cut the ropes binding Liu Xian.

"Huo Qing, emergency medical assistance!"

"They're here!"

Huo Qing quickly laid Liu Xian flat—at this point, Liu Xian had already lost consciousness.

Just ten seconds!

"What's going on?"

Qin Lang asked anxiously, and Huo Qing, relying on his experience, quickly examined him and then made a judgment:

"Major internal bleeding—a hard foreign object in the lower right abdomen, unknown what it is!"

"But it definitely didn't happen naturally; they're trying to silence us!"

"Jin Yue!"

"Drone! Check if there are any suspicious persons nearby!"

"clear!"

Jin Yue immediately put down his phone and deftly took out the racing machine from his backpack.

The propellers hummed as the racing car roared past the window.

Just seconds later, Jin Yue shouted:

"Across the street! The rooftop!"

Lin Shu instinctively rushed to the window.

The scene before him stunned him.

A man was standing upside down on the rooftop, making strange hand gestures and pointing to his window.

His "ritual" doesn't seem to be over yet.

But Lin Shu won't give him another chance.

The snake lunged forward, then recoiled as if electrocuted.

A strange, burnt smell filled the air, and the next second, it reappeared in front of the man.

Then.....

Take a bite!

......

10 minute later.

Qin Lang brought back the man who had been bitten by the snake, and the ambulance also took away the unconscious Liu Xian, as well as Huo Qing, who had cut open Liu Xian's stomach and was pinching his ruptured liver with his hands to perform manual hemostasis.

A fist-sized, irregularly shaped stone lay on the floor of the room—this stone was the one found inside Liu Xian's stomach.

Obviously, this thing couldn't have been in his stomach in the first place.

It was "generated" or "transferred" into Liu Xian's stomach by the power of some ritual.

The moment it was generated, it ruptured Liu Xian's internal organs, causing him to suffer massive bleeding and faint.

It's just that I was a little bit lucky; if the stone had formed directly in the heart area...

Liu Xian should have died on the spot.

This is...

Lin Shu grinned, staring at the stone.

This matter was completely beyond his understanding and his comprehension of "rituals".

I used to think that "yarrow stalk and tortoise shell divination" was a bug in the world.

But now it seems...

This kind of ritual is more like a bug.

How can a stone magically appear inside a person's stomach?

Would anyone believe such a thing if I told them?

He let out a heavy breath. Qin Lang, who was standing beside him, noticed his expression and asked in a slightly teasing tone:

"Never seen anything like this before, have you?"

"...I've never seen it before, and I've never heard of any ritual that has this effect..."

"That's normal."

Qin Lang was busy "packing up" the captured man, tightening the ropes before continuing:

"There are probably many strange rituals in the world—they don't strictly belong to the category of traditional rituals, but they are still useful."

"We've recorded two similar rituals before, and what we're seeing now should be the third..."

"Take it easy. You'll see many more similar things after you officially join us."

"Um."

Lin Shu gave a muffled "hmm," then turned her gaze to Lu Ran, who was standing by the table.

She was checking the amulets that everyone had been carrying.

"They all reacted, but none of them burned through."

"Thanks to Lin Shu, this person should have attacked five people in the room at the same time, but only Liu Xian was hit by the full force."

"However... we should also go to the hospital for a check-up after we get back."

"We might both have kidney stones..."

"no problem."

Qin Lang nodded.

"This time the progress has been significant enough, and the results have been very good."

"After working non-stop for more than two months, it's time to take a couple of days off."

"You all rest, I'll interrogate this person."

"Once Liu Xian regains consciousness, we'll conduct a cross-examination of the two of them, and many clues will naturally surface..."

"clear."

"Okay! Thank you, Lao Qin!"

Jin Yue and Lu Ran answered in turn, while Lin Shu asked with some confusion:

"Liu Xian is still alive? He's injured like that, his internal organs are a complete mess, how could he possibly survive?"

"Do you have... healing rituals?"

Qin Lang laughed heartily and shook his head in reply:

"no."

"The rituals that can heal are extremely complex, and most of them belong to the category of profound and true rituals, which we cannot restore at the moment."

"However... we do have a way to save him."

"What method?"

Lin Shu pressed for an answer, and Qin Lang coughed and replied seriously:

"Modern medicine, kid."
