Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

A piercing scream echoed throughout the banquet hall!

"Murder! Someone's dead!"

This piercing roar was like a thunderclap, instantly shattering the melodious music and lively conversation in the room.

Everyone's eyes turned to the direction from which the sound came.

No one dared to speak anymore.

The entire hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; a sense of oppression and dread quickly spread.

After just a few seconds of silence, the scene erupted in a frenzy, with exclamations and discussions rising and falling.

But no one dared to approach the table where the incident occurred; everyone watched from a distance, filled with fear and curiosity.

As a top-tier wealthy family in the Mermaid Kingdom, the Wei family has always maintained a professional and rigorous security system.

The moment the murder occurred, the well-trained security personnel in black immediately mobilized and rushed into the banquet hall.

The dozen or so security guards had clear division of labor and acted swiftly and efficiently, immediately setting up a cordon to completely seal off the restaurant where the incident occurred, dispersing all the onlookers to a safe area, and preventing anyone from tampering with any clues at the scene.

Someone secretly took out their phone to try and film the scene, but was immediately stopped by security personnel. The crime scene was strictly protected throughout the entire process, and the police were awaited to arrive.

The order at the scene was forcibly restored, but the eerie and terrifying atmosphere in the air lingered for a long time.

Time passed by, second by second.

Twenty minutes later.

The piercing sound of police sirens grew louder as they approached, stopping in front of the Wei family villa.

A large number of uniformed police officers quickly got out of their vehicles and strode into the banquet hall with professional criminal investigation equipment. The accompanying forensic team immediately went to the crime scene to conduct an autopsy and investigate clues.

Before long, the forensic doctor reached a conclusion.

Based on drug testing and assessment of the body's symptoms, the deceased did not die suddenly from an illness, but rather from potassium cyanide poisoning.

The deadly toxins all originated from the hamburger the deceased had eaten before his death. The extremely high concentration of the highly toxic components remaining in the food was the core cause of his sudden death.

The criminal investigation team leader in charge of the case looked serious and immediately issued an investigation order, launching a comprehensive search for clues.

The criminal investigation team members scattered and began their work, carefully examining every detail of the scene. They quickly found a small, transparent medicine bottle in the victim's shirt pocket.

A small amount of white powder remained on the inner wall and mouth of the bottle. After comparison, it was confirmed that this residual powder was potassium cyanide, a highly toxic substance that can cause death.

With the physical evidence in hand, the police immediately retrieved the surveillance footage from the banquet hall in an attempt to reconstruct the entire murder and find the real culprit.

When the surveillance footage was projected and magnified, revealing the complete video content to all the police officers, everyone present wore an extremely strange expression.

The surveillance video clearly recorded all the details before the incident, without any blind spots, and was so real that it was hard to believe.

In the video, a waiter wearing a mask—who is the deceased—sneaks into the manor's kitchen.

Upon entering the kitchen, he did not hesitate at all and immediately knocked out all the chefs and kitchen staff.

After taking control of the kitchen, the waiter neither stole any valuables nor caused any damage. Instead, he washed his hands and personally made hamburgers and fried chicken.

He was meticulous throughout the entire process, even more so than professional chefs, and he secretly added extremely high concentrations of potassium cyanide powder to every dish he made.

After doing all this, the waiter carried the poisoned fried chicken and poisoned hamburgers out of the kitchen and back into the banquet hall.

What happened next left all the police officers on the case speechless.

The surveillance footage clearly shows a waiter handing a freshly prepared, highly poisonous dish to Chu Ge, who was waiting at the table.

His purpose was obvious: to deliberately poison the girl and kill her.

Without thinking twice, Chu Ge took the food offered to him and calmly began to eat the fried chicken containing deadly poison, bite by bite.

Throughout the entire process, he remained calm and composed, showing no signs of discomfort whatsoever. He experienced no abdominal pain, vomiting, or dizziness, as if he had not consumed a deadly poison but rather ordinary home-cooked snacks.

The waiter stood to the side, staring intently at Chu Ge's reaction, eagerly anticipating seeing him collapse from the poison.

But after observing for a long time, Chu Ge remained unharmed, his complexion even more rosy and healthy than that of an ordinary person, and he showed no abnormal reactions from beginning to end.

This bizarre scene completely piqued the waiter's curiosity. He was utterly astonished, unable to believe that the poisonous fried chicken he had personally prepared had no effect whatsoever on the girl in front of him.

Doubt and confusion filled his heart. To verify that his poison was not the problem, he inexplicably picked up the poisoned hamburger on the plate and tentatively took a big bite.

Just a few seconds!

The poison has taken effect!

The waiter's astonishment instantly turned into a grotesque expression of pain. His body convulsed violently, and strange liquid gushed from his mouth and nose. Before he could even utter a cry for help, he collapsed to the ground and died instantly.

After watching this outrageous and absurd surveillance footage, all the police officers present fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock, bewilderment, and disbelief. The veteran detectives, who had been handling cases for many years, had never seen such an outrageous murder case in their lives.

After a long silence, a veteran police officer with over thirty years of experience and who had seen countless bizarre and unsolved cases couldn't help but sigh, shaking his head with a wry smile, breaking the silence of the scene.

"I've been in criminal investigation for decades, and I've seen countless murders, poisonings, and bizarre cases. Today, I've truly had my eyes opened!"

"By poisoning someone, the target remains unharmed, but the poisoner himself dies instead."

"The world is truly vast and full of wonders!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present nodded in agreement, all feeling the same speechless sentiment.

What is most shocking and incomprehensible is why Chu Ge, who also ate the poisoned fried chicken, did not die.

The girl had a fair and rosy complexion, a tall and graceful figure, and was in excellent spirits. There was no sign of poisoning whatsoever; in fact, she was healthier than everyone else present.

Conventional medical knowledge and criminal investigation experience completely failed at this moment, utterly unable to explain the phenomenon before their eyes.

Ultimately, by combining all surveillance evidence, physical evidence from the scene, and the autopsy report, the police completely ruled out Chu Ge as a suspect.

The only explanation is that the other party is a top-tier superhuman with the special ability to be immune to all poisons.

As night deepened, the bright moon hung high in the sky.

The city fell into complete silence.

At midnight, the lights in the police station's interrogation room were still bright.

After several hours of detailed record-keeping, evidence verification, and a full investigation, the police have uncovered the entire story of the poisoning murder case.

The middle-aged detective in charge of the case put down his notebook, looked at Chu Ge sitting opposite him with a calm expression, and nodded slightly with a fair and polite attitude.

"Miss Alice, we have thoroughly investigated the entire case, and all the evidence proves that you are an innocent victim and have nothing to do with this case."

"Thank you very much for your cooperation throughout the investigation. You can now complete the formalities and leave the police station."

"it is good."

Chu Ge nodded slightly, his face expressionless, and calmly stood up, walking slowly towards the entrance of the police station.

A cool evening breeze blew in front of the police station late at night, and the streetlights cast a soft white light, illuminating the empty square.

Two slender young women stood quietly at the door, having been waiting there for a full hour.

Seeing Chu Ge walk out of the police station, Aria, who had been eagerly waiting, immediately lit up and ran forward.

She looked Chu Ge up and down carefully, afraid that she might have suffered the slightest injustice.

"Sister, are you alright? Did the police give you any trouble?"

Chu Ge gently shook his head: "It's nothing, I just cooperated with a statement and was asked a few questions."

Hearing this, Arya finally felt relieved and breathed a long sigh of relief.

A murder occurred tonight, and the scene was extremely horrifying. She was filled with anxiety, fearing that Chu Ge would be implicated in the murder case, get into unnecessary trouble, or even be detained and held accountable by the police.

As long as everyone is safe, everything is fine.

"It's good that everything's alright."

Clara watched the heartwarming interaction between the two and then smiled and made a suggestion.

"Aria, Alice, why don't you come stay at my house tonight?"

As soon as Clara finished speaking, Arya, who had been relaxing, instantly became alert. She immediately took a step forward and gently stood in front of Chu Ge, her beautiful eyes fixed on Clara, her face full of vigilance, just like a kitten guarding its food.

Clara was both amused and exasperated by their overly cautious demeanor.

Clara helplessly shrugged, looking at Arya with a resentful expression: "Why are you so wary of me? I'm not going to eat you."

"Think about it yourself, it's so late, there are definitely no more buses back to the Violin City."

"You can find all sorts of people on the streets late at night. Alice is so beautiful, what if she encounters a bad person with ill intentions and something happens to her?"

"Even staying in a hotel isn't necessarily safe."

"Don't forget, someone dared to poison someone at such a grand banquet just now."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Arya with a serious expression and coaxed, "Arya, you don't want your sister Alice to go on an adventure late at night and encounter something bad, do you?"

These words were well-reasoned and hit the nail on the head.

Arya was instantly stumped by the question, standing there in a daze, her little face full of hesitation.

Upon closer reflection, she realized that Clara was indeed right.

It's already late at night, and even if there's a car to get back, it will take several hours.

The roads are complex and sparsely populated at night, and are indeed full of unknown dangers.

After hesitating for a moment, Aria turned to Chu Ge beside her and asked softly, "Sister Alice, what do you think? Should we stay at Clara's house for the night?"

"I'm fine with either."

Chu Ge had no objections whatsoever.

Just then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught the barely concealed anticipation and cautious joy in Clara's eyes.

The girl instantly understood.

She could tell that Clara wasn't just worried about their safety late at night.

Having been on holiday for so long, the two rarely met. Having finally seen Arya, they had countless unspoken words in their hearts and were reluctant to part so soon. They just wanted to take this opportunity to spend more time with Arya.

Having seen through the other party's little scheme, Chu Ge naturally didn't expose it.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Arya finally nodded in agreement, looked at Clara who was looking at her expectantly, and said seriously, "Okay, then we'll stay at your place tonight."

After saying that, she immediately added seriously:

"But let me make the rules clear first! You must behave yourself tonight, no fooling around, and no doing anything outrageous!"

Upon hearing this, Clara instantly looked aggrieved, raised her hand to cover her chest, and sighed resentfully.

"Oh dear, what are you saying! Am I really that unreliable in your eyes? What about the most basic trust between people?"

Arya showed no mercy: "I want to trust you too, but you've done so many bad things at school, you're already infamous."

As soon as she finished speaking, Arya's embarrassing memories from her school days flashed through her mind.

During her last time living at school, Clara sneaked into her dormitory in the middle of the night, and while she was asleep, she secretly pulled down her pants and did something that Clara still can't understand to this day.

Having learned from past mistakes, she would never let her guard down around Clara again.

Seeing Arya's vengeful look, Clara knew she was in the wrong and stopped arguing. She smiled and took out her phone to call the family driver.

In just a few minutes, a black luxury sedan slowly drove up and came to a steady stop in front of the three of them.

The driver immediately got out of the car, quickly stepped forward, and respectfully opened the rear door.

"Get in the car."

Clara waved to the two of them and sat down first.

Chu Ge and Aria followed closely behind.

The car door closed gently, shutting out the cool night breeze, and slowly drove into the darkness.
