Descending upon the terrifying heavens as a superman

Because the deceased was a white, non-Caucasian, the higher-ups put immense pressure on the police department. Even the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, not trusting them, specially sent a skilled veteran FBI agent, Kevin, to assist in solving the case.

After hearing Zhang Yue's phone call with a clue, Kevin, who was investigating entomopathogenic fungi, immediately came over to meet up with Huang Huotu and Lin Daosheng's group, and together they headed to their destination.

"Huang, Li, have you investigated their backgrounds?"

Huang Huotu shook his head. "Time is too tight. We haven't had time to find out much yet. All we know is that they bought an office building in the city center, and outsiders can't get in normally."

Kevin nodded. "Based on the information you provided, I had someone check it out in the United States. They were both PhDs who studied in the US."

"A few years ago, they sold their company, which was worth two billion, and then bought a newly unearthed Taoist temple in Jiaozhi. They bought the entire temple, brick by brick, and everything inside, and moved it over."

"It caused a sensation at the time, and the people of Jiaozhi protested, feeling that their national treasures were being sold off, but in the end they couldn't overcome the corruption of the local officials..."

"And then they started cultivating immortality?"

Li Fengbo said in a deep voice, "So, we're facing a group of cult members?"

Kevin nodded. "I have a deep understanding of your Chinese Taoist culture. If I'm not mistaken, they probably kill people according to the principles of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements..."

Huang Huotu said in a low voice, "Whether it's true or not... we'll find out when we get there."

For some reason, Zhang Yue's image kept appearing in his mind, as well as the shadow on his daughter's back during the days when Zhang Yue helped him open his psychic eyes...

"Don't move."

"Everyone, stand in line, don't move, do you hear me?"

More than a dozen police officers forced the receptionist to open the electric door, and what came into view was extremely shocking.

This is... a Taoist temple located in an office building.

The Taoist temple is extremely ancient, covered with weathered blue bricks, pillars that have survived for thousands of years without decaying, and every brick and tile on it.

However, what struck Huang Huotu as odd was that the air was filled with a faint, putrid stench for some reason.

"I'm so impressed. Building a Taoist temple inside an office building, rich people really know how to have fun."

The Taoist nuns and priests who were meditating on the steps in front of them changed their expressions when they saw them come in, and immediately got up and ran inside.

But at this point, Li Fengbo and Huang Huotu didn't pay much attention and simply led a group of police officers into the Taoist temple.

"Where is your person in charge? Give me..." Before he could finish the word "give," Li Fengbo and Huang Huotu's expressions changed.

Simply because, in the middle of the main hall...

A blindfolded man was kneeling on the ground, groaning. Behind him was Lin Daosheng, who held a short sword and a still-beating heart.

"Oh my god!"

"Murder!"

"Don't move!"

All the police officers immediately drew their guns...

Lin Daosheng and Huang Yifeng exchanged a glance, their lips moved slightly, but no sound came out, as if they were communicating telepathically.

Because of Zhang Yue's interference, the police arrived earlier than in the original story.

The fourth death they were committing, the "Heart-Scraping Hell," was discovered by the police...

……

This morning, police solved a serial murder case. The perpetrators, Lam Tao-sang and Wong Yat-fung, have been apprehended.

According to police statements, they were responsible for the three recent murders, and a fourth perpetrator was discovered during a police raid.

Zhang Yue frowned. He was watching the news, where a blond, blue-eyed foreigner was talking eloquently to a reporter.

"I've never believed in ghosts or gods; everything is science."

"The so-called Taoist methods are actually just them cultivating a special kind of fungus, using this hallucinogenic fungus to hypnotize some believers."

"All strange occurrences can be explained by science."

On television, Kevin, the foreigner, finished his press conference and announced the end of the case.

But Zhang Yue's pupils contracted, and she immediately picked up her phone and made a call.

[Feeding—] The person who answered the phone was Huang Huotu.

"Hello, this is Zhang Yue."

"Mr. Zhang, it's you!" Huang Huotu's voice, filled with surprise and joy, came through the phone.

"Didn't you find him?"

【who?】

"Xie Yali, that girl, she is the true master of the True Immortal Temple. Huang Yifeng and Lin Daosheng are just her followers."

"Mr. Zhang, you...you're not joking, are you? That girl is only sixteen years old, how could she possibly be the leader of a cult..."

She...and I didn't see her.

"What a bunch of incompetent teammates—"

Zhang Yue angrily hung up the phone, wishing he could grab Huang Huotu and the others and give them a good beating.

Zhang Yue lit a cigarette and carefully reviewed the plot, thinking about what she should do next...

"Oh right, Kevin." Zhang Yue slapped his forehead. He suddenly remembered Kevin, the FBI agent, because he only believed in science.

He didn't believe in becoming an immortal, and since his destiny happened to fit the description, he was chosen as the fifth person after the press conference.

In other words, they are the sacrificers in the Hell of Tongue Pulling.

In Taoism, those who do not believe in ghosts and gods are considered sinful, which fits the description...

Since the Xie sisters have already clashed with me, I don't need to hold back anymore. As long as Kevin doesn't die, the sacrifice in the Tongue-Pulling Hell will have failed.

A short while later, Zhang Yue's phone rang again; it was Huang Huotu calling.

Mr. Zhang, although it may be presumptuous of me to ask you this, I would like to ask for your help regarding my daughter's matter...

Zhang Yue thought for a while and then agreed, because Huang Huotu was his task. He had deliberately left traces near the surveillance cameras of the previous two cases to gain Huang Huotu's trust for the subsequent actions.

Moreover, Zhang Yue wasn't worried that Huang Huotu would arrest him, as long as he wanted to save his daughter.

And it was also to prepare for the next step of killing Xie Yali.

Zhang Yue no longer harbored any illusions about peacefully coexisting with Xie Yali.

……

An hour later, Zhang Yue, wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, met Huang Huotu, who looked haggard, in a coffee shop.

Huang Huotu became very excited when he saw Zhang Yue. "Mr. Zhang, oh no, Master Zhang, please help my daughter."

Zhang Yue said, "Don't rush, tell me first, what exactly happened when you arrested Lin Daosheng and Huang Yifeng?"

"Where's Xie Yali? You haven't found him?"

Huang Huotu shook his head. "No, we didn't find the girl you mentioned... but we did see Lin Daosheng killing someone. He ripped out the heart of a believer while he was still alive, and then the police arrested them all..."

"etc--"

Zhang Yue suddenly realized a problem: "You mean, you arrested them all? And they didn't resist?"

In the original storyline, in that fierce battle where the knife and the gun were one step ahead within seven steps, who was faster?

Huang Huotu looked puzzled. "They didn't resist..."

Drop drop!

Just then, Huang Huotu's phone rang...

As soon as he answered the phone and listened to a few words, Huang Huotu's face turned deathly pale and his body trembled.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yue had a bad feeling.

"The police station... Lin Daosheng and his gang massacred the police station..." Huang Huotu raised his head, his face full of disbelief.
