Descending upon the terrifying heavens as a superman

"I don't care what methods you use, this case must be solved."

"The deceased was white, a highly respected priest. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has received a protest and has given you a week to solve this case."

"And that master who walks on the river, whether he is a grandmaster or a magician, find him."

"Yes, sir!"

The atmosphere in the police station was extremely tense, unlike in the past, simply because the third serial murder occurred yesterday.

This time, the person who died was not one of their own, but a white man, and a respected priest at that, which caused a huge uproar, with many white people calling the police station to protest.

The way the priest died, in particular, was extremely cruel and chilling. While he was still alive, his abdomen was cut open, his intestines were taken out, cleaned, and then sewn back in.

This bizarre and eerie way of dying is worlds apart from the previous two cases.

Even the diplomatic authorities have been under immense pressure, demanding that the city's police department solve the case within a week.

After Huang Huotu and Li Fengbo finished their meeting, they quietly went outside to smoke.

What do you think?

"What do you think?" Li Fengbo sneered. "Others may not know, but I know all too well. What nonsense about being highly respected? That priest is just a front man; behind the scenes, he's involved in smuggling arms from Southeast Asia."

"A chemical worker pollutes the environment and is frequently the subject of complaints."

"He broke up someone else's family and even got into a fight with the wife, which made the front page of the newspaper."

"This is an arms dealer, a smuggler."

"Isn't it a coincidence? None of these three people are good people..."

As Huang Huotu listened to the rambling, the image of the talisman drawn on the priest's stomach surfaced in his mind. "Perhaps it's not a coincidence..."

He thought of the psychic eyes that Zhang Yue had given him. Although they had lost their effectiveness in the past few days, they had indeed allowed him to see many things he shouldn't have seen.

For this reason, Huang Huotu even took his daughter to the Wong Tai Sin Temple to worship...

Unfortunately……

"In addition, we have already ordered our subordinates to secretly search for that magician named Zhang Yue. We will report back immediately once we find any trace of him."

Zhang Yue...

A person who performed a large-scale magic trick in broad daylight.

Strangely, no matter how hard the police searched the next day, they couldn't find him. They searched all the hotels, inns, and shady shops in the area, but they still couldn't find him.

Jingle Bell!

Li Fengbo patted his pocket, took out his phone, and found it wasn't his ringing. He said irritably, "Hey, your phone is ringing. Answer it quickly. Is your wife pressuring you to get a divorce again?"

Although he would occasionally make sarcastic remarks about his old friend, Li Fengbo actually cared about him quite a bit.

But Huang Huotu's marriage was beyond saving, as anyone with eyes could see. His brother-in-law died because of him, and it would be a miracle if his wife could stay with him.

"Hello, who is this?"

As soon as Huang Huotu answered the phone, a familiar voice came from the other end.

"Hello, Officer Huang, it's me—"

"It's you—" Huang Huotu's pupils contracted, and he immediately made a gesture towards Li Fengbo.

Li Fengbo immediately realized it was Zhang Yue calling. He turned around and went back to his office, intending to ask his colleagues to trace the source of the call...

"Mr. Zhang, the magic show you performed on the river the other day... was fantastic."

Zhang Yue smiled. "Mr. Huang, you've also had the ability to see ghosts, so you should know that it's not magic, it's Taoist magic."

Huang Huotu swallowed hard. "Mr. Zhang, why are you calling me? What's the matter? Don't tell me you're the one who did this third case."

"Officer Huang, you must be joking. I'm a Taoist practitioner, I don't commit murder. I'm calling just to give you a clue, a clue about a murderer."

Clues to the killer?

Huang Huotu's eyes lit up. "Do you know who the killer is? Where are you?"

The killer wasn't a single person, but a group of people. Their leader was named Lin Daosheng and Huang Yifeng.

[A little research will tell you that these two people are PhDs who studied in the US and are wealthy returnees.]

"Lin Daosheng, Huang Yifeng? I'll check right away. Anyone else?"

Also, you need to be careful. They are a cult that uses external alchemy for magic. When you go, I suggest you bring firearms and masks.

"External alchemy spellcasting? What external alchemy?"

You should be able to tell from the tests that it's a type of fungus...

"Mr. Zhang, could we meet to talk? I have many questions for you, including about my daughter..."

[Sorry, it's not the right time yet, but I must warn you to be careful. Huang Yifeng and Lin Daosheng are just her disciples. The real mastermind is Xie Yali, a sixteen-year-old girl who is currently cultivating in a secret compartment within the Zhenxian Taoist Temple.]

Before Huang Huotu could finish asking his question, Zhang Yue hung up the phone.

"Hey, hey..."

Li Fengbo came out and said, "There wasn't enough time to track down his exact address, but we know he's still in the city..."

Huang Huotu frowned and said, "They're still in the city... Let's go check on those two people."

"Who?"

"Lin Daosheng, Huang Yifeng..."

……

……

In an apartment building on Changping Street, Zhang Yue smiled and hung up the phone.

"Xie Yali..."

"I originally thought that cultivation was difficult in this Dharma-ending Age, so I didn't want to stop you from playing with corpse liberation. But since you've come to provoke me, don't blame me for striking first."

Zhang Yue smiled coldly. That's right, he was going to smash the plate.

That phone call just now was a sell-off, directly revealing to Huang Huotu the hidden masterminds Huang Yifeng and Lin Daosheng, and also revealing that Xie Yali was the real mastermind.

In the original story, they only revealed their true colors in the fourth case, the Heart-Scraping Prison.

The fourth victim was bewitched by them and sent himself to the Taoist temple. He was then hallucinated by fungi and had his heart forcibly ripped out while in a hallucination.

During this process, he not only did not feel pain, but because his brain was trapped in a hallucination, it produced five thousand times the amount of dopamine, and he died of high.

Later, when they were dumping the body, the car accidentally had an accident and was discovered by citizens. This led Li Fengbo and his team to trace the clues from the car to the Zhenxian Temple in the office building.

At this moment, an old man walked over and said to Zhang Yue with a sincere expression, "Master Zhang, the Dharma Master's implements are ready. Please take a look at Guanyin..."

Zhang Yue nodded, "Don't worry, I'll perform a ritual for your son and daughter-in-law to help their family pass on to the afterlife."

The old man clasped his hands together and sobbed, "Thank you, Master."

Guanluoyin is a ritual performed here, in which the blindfolded family members are blindfolded and a Taoist priest helps to communicate with the deceased.

However, Zhang Yue achieved this goal directly using Meng Jie's sponge.

If Xie Yali can develop believers, why can't he?

The day after he was almost surrounded by Lin Daosheng and the police that day, he found the old man.

Their son and daughter-in-law died in a car accident, and the elderly couple fell ill from grief. Zhang Yue used a sponge to open one of their left eyes, allowing them to see their son and daughter-in-law one last time.

Then the two old men became Zhang Yue's loyal followers, and Zhang Yue hid in their house, thus escaping the search by Xie Yali and his gang.
