Before I could finish typing, the screen suddenly froze completely.

The scene freezes on the moment Arthur is killed by the turret.

Followed by.

The screen flashed.

It jumped directly back to the game lobby.

A golden email popped up.

System prompt:

[You have been detected engaging in intentional feeding/AFK behavior. Your reputation score has been reduced by 10 points, and you are banned for 24 hours!]

"Bang!"

Yang Guang slammed his hand on the desk.

The swivel gaming chair was shaken so badly that it slid back half a meter.

"Damn it!"

"What a piece of junk!"

"It can't even handle a stupid game!"

"Once I take on a side job and make a fortune, the first thing I'll do is upgrade you to the latest, most advanced model!"

"I want to buy two!"

"One for playing video games, and one for cracking walnuts!"

Er Lengzi was startled by the shout, and his dog hair stood on end.

It crawled out from under the table and gave Yang Guang a resentful look: "Dad Yang, it's just a game, it's not worth hurting your liver."

"If all else fails, you can come and play frisbee with me for a while."

Yang Guang gripped the still-hot phone, his anger flaring up.

I can't go on like this for even a day longer.

The Taoist priest has fallen to such a state because he was punished by the system for having a broken phone.

So embarrassing.

Just as he was about to exit the game and go to the police station to scam some tea,

His phone screen suddenly vibrated, and when he looked closely at the caller ID, he was immediately stunned.

Yu Zixin?

Why is my eldest daughter calling herself during the day when she should be in class?

Yang Guang answered the phone, still wanting to take advantage of the situation: "Hello, eldest daughter?"

"Why are you calling your dad in the middle of the day instead of studying properly?"

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.

Yu Zixin's voice came through the receiver, sounding hesitant: "Um... Yang Guang."

"Why...why didn't you come to school today?"

Yang Guang crossed his legs, holding his phone in one hand while rummaging through Zhao Gang's desk with the other to see if there were any snacks.

"Oh, I've taken the day off."

"Something came up."

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Yang Guang could tell that Yu Zixin clearly had something to say, but she was holding it in.

That feeling of wanting to say something but holding back can be felt even through this broken screen with three cracks.

Moreover.

If this were any other time, and she had verbally taken advantage of him, she would have already told him to die.

The reaction today is clearly wrong.

So Yang Guang also dropped his nonchalant attitude and asked suspiciously, "Is something wrong?"

"No...no."

Yu Zixin's voice visibly panicked: "I just noticed you weren't here today, so I was asking."

Yang Guang frowned: "Are you really alright?"

"Yeah, I'm really fine."

A noisy background noise came from Yu Zixin's end, probably during a break between classes: "Well... you go ahead and do your thing, I'm hanging up."

beep.

The call was abruptly cut off.

Yang Guang took the phone away from his ear and stared at the cracked screen for two seconds.

Something's definitely wrong with this girl.

But she wouldn't say anything, and Yang Guang couldn't pry her open up over the phone.

Forget it.

After cleaning up the mess with Zhang Chengwu, I'll go to the school to see what's wrong with her.

Anyway, nothing serious will happen to her at school.

As Yang Guang was thinking, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Lin Yue strode in, her face filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"Yang Guang!"

"We've uncovered all the clues you provided!"

"The financial records of all seventeen shell companies under Zhang Chengwu's name match up!"

"And they did indeed dig up something from the place where he buried his body."

"Now that the evidence is conclusive, we can go to Zhang Chengwu's house!"

Yang Guang sprang up from the swivel chair.

coming!

He glanced down at what was under the table.

Er Lengzi was lying there, his two front paws pressing down on a sausage he'd somehow gotten his hands on, his big tongue curling up the casing as he devoured it.

Yang Guang kicked him, landing directly on Er Lengzi's butt.

"stand up!"

"Let's go!"

Er Lengzi yelled so loudly that the sausage almost flew out of his mouth.

It quickly swallowed it whole, choking so badly its eyes rolled back, but it still stayed by Yang Guang's side.

Yang Guang ignored it completely and followed Lin Yue outside.

Er Lengzi followed along, looking aggrieved. This huge sausage hadn't even tasted anything before it was gone.

I'll definitely make Yang's father compensate me later!

Twenty minutes later.

Three police cars were parked outside a villa area on the eastern outskirts of Fengdu City.

Zhang Chengwu's house is at the very back.

It occupies at least seven or eight hundred square meters, with ivy climbing all over the walls and gleaming wrought iron gates.

From the outside, it looks like a typical mansion for the wealthy.

But what Yang Guang saw was completely different from what others saw.

He stood next to the police car, his hands in his pockets, squinting at the villa.

The entire building was shrouded in a thick, black fog.

That mist wasn't yin energy.

Yin energy is cold, heavy, and downward.

But this thing is different.

It spreads outwards, carrying an inexplicable and sinister quality.

It's like a pot of poisonous soup that's been simmering for decades, bubbling and spewing black bubbles.

This must be the evil aura emanating from that evil Buddha, right?

Yang Guang's lips curled up slightly.

The idiot next to it also saw it. Its heterochromatic eyes, one gold and one blue, suddenly widened, its nose twitched wildly, and saliva started dripping down again.

It excitedly circled around Yang Guang.

Yang Guang raised his hand and smacked it on the back of the head: "Don't get agitated, just stay still!"

Er Lengzi shrank his neck in grievance, but his big tongue still stuck out unhappily.

Lin Yue walked over, already wearing her bulletproof vest and a sidearm tucked into her waistband: "Is everything ready?"

Yang Guang shrugged: "Officer, I'm just a high school student who can't even kill a chicken. You're asking me if I'm ready?"

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?"

Lin Yue was too lazy to argue with him, so she turned around and waved to the SWAT team members behind her.

"action!"

Six fully armed special police officers quickly lined up, carrying battering rams, and headed straight for the wrought iron gate.

With a loud bang, the door opened.

The group filed in.

Yang Guang walked in the middle of the group, his hands still in his pockets.

The villa had a large yard with a neatly trimmed lawn, but there wasn't a single living thing in it.

Why is this kind of mansion, owned by a wealthy family, completely empty in broad daylight?

Lin Yue had obviously noticed this as well, and her hand was already on the holster at her waist.

The SWAT team members quickly dispersed and secured all entrances and exits of the villa.

Lin Yue led Yang Guang straight to the main entrance.

The door wasn't locked.

It was partially closed.

The moment Lin Yue reached out and pushed open the door, a strong, nauseating sandalwood scent wafted out.

This is not ordinary sandalwood.

It smelled like the kind of smell that had been burning for who knows how many days, and had permeated the entire building.

It's so sweet it's almost bitter; just one whiff of it gives you a headache.

"cough."

Lin Yue covered her nose.

Yang Guang, however, remained unfazed.

He smelled more than just sandalwood; beneath that sweet scent lay a subtly venomous stench…
