"Please, I don't want to work overtime, so please show up soon!"

La Luna clasped her hands together, then raised them high above her head as if pleading.

The last smell of blood drifted over with the cold night breeze.

"Meow?"

La Luna's pupils instantly stood up, and then her eyes immediately turned towards the source of the smell.

"In the room...?"

La Luna stared at the house, then instantly transformed back into the form of a cat, and flew along the eaves until she reached the roof of the house.

It seems that this is the place. La Luna sniffed hard. The air on this side was filled with the smell of fresh human blood. It seemed that an unlucky guy had been killed, and the scent of the alien god fragments mixed in the bloody smell appeared from time to time.

After choosing between the two options of directly lifting the roof and climbing through the window, La Luna decided to climb through the window first before lifting the roof if the situation did not work.

La Luna popped out her steel claws from her pads, then dug them into the wall, crawling along the vertical wall, and then jumped onto the balcony on the third floor.

The smell of blood came from here. La Luna instantly opened her mental search and tried her best to explore the situation inside. However, the mental search gave her nothing in feedback.

This is very unusual.

It is true that when jumping on the roof before, the large-scale detection below might miss this situation, but if you want to detect a room in one direction, it is impossible to detect that there is nothing behind the room.

After thinking about this, La Luna instantly pulled out the whip from her waist and whipped it towards the window!

The whip head flashed with golden light, and the point of force instantly hit the window, and the glass and the cast iron frame of the window were instantly shattered. Then La Luna flipped over and stepped into the room.

"?"

As soon as La Luna entered the room, she felt something was not right. There seemed to be some strange barrier set up in the room. All means of information communication, whether magic or mental power, and even her own communication channels with the temple were cut off.

It’s like coming to another world.

La Luna turned her head to look at the window from which she had come in before, and sure enough, it had disappeared, replaced by a hazy darkness in front of her eyes.

How do I describe the feeling of this place? It's as if there is a little light all around but all of this light is weakened by the surrounding black curtain, and only then can a little bit of it be revealed from the surrounding black curtain.

However, this brightness is more than enough for La Luna. With night vision, La Luna can see the surroundings as if it were daytime.

It was very empty in here, and it felt like the world had no end in sight. However, on the ground there were strangely scattered bits of room decorations, as well as some... bones?

La Luna raised an eyebrow and picked up the bone to take a look.

Judging from the size and style of the skull, it can be inferred that the deceased was probably a female. The scattered bones around it are probably parts of this lady's body.

It was unknown how long the body had been dead, and the bones felt dry. La Luna suddenly saw a round hole on the top of the bone. After looking it up and down, La Luna thought that the wound should have been formed before the body died.

In other words, something particularly sharp had pierced the victim's head. After watching this, La Luna gently put the bone back in place.

Keep going

Next, tables, chairs, beds and other furniture appeared on the ground one after another, which gradually aroused La Luna's suspicion.

After walking around, La Luna stopped and looked at the familiar invisible skull.

Sure enough, I walked a circle again.

La Luna curled her lips. How dare they play this old trick in front of her?

Finally, LaLuna pulled out her ordinary staff and continued to accumulate energy, then she cast a powerful super-gravity charging magic towards the top of this world!

From the moment that beam of black light hit the hazy black sky, the sound of broken glass came continuously to my ears.

Wow!

As the blow sounded, the whole world was instantly filled with cracks like broken glass, and then the whole world collapsed.

And at the moment when the world collapsed, La Luna felt a dangerous force attacking her from behind, and then she swung the whip, without even looking back, and directly hit the dangerous force with a subconscious counterattack.

"Ice spikes?"

After La Luna felt the feedback of hitting a heavy object from the handle of the whip, she turned around and saw the ice fragments that had been broken by the whip blowing towards her.

La Luna frowned and waved her hand to blow away the white icy mist in front of her. At this time, La Luna finally knew where the holes on the corpses came from.

Obviously, the opponent might be a user or magician with ice-type abilities, or perhaps an ice-type monster?

Thinking of this, La Luna swung the whip and lashed hard in the direction where the ice had just shot from!

A wall was instantly shattered into a pile of ashes under La Luna's whip, and the monster hiding behind the wall finally revealed its true face.

Well, La Luna looked at the so-called "true face" and couldn't tell for a moment whether this guy was a human or a monster.

The other party has four slender limbs and is lying flat on the ground. It looks no different from a crawling human being, but the key point is that all of this guy's appearance is covered by a layer of black and sticky liquid, and it is impossible to tell what this guy should look like.

After being discovered, the monster on the opposite side did not pounce directly at LaLuna, but walked around LaLuna a few steps with great fear.

La Luna found that the other party's eyes seemed to be fixed on her whip. It seemed that this guy must have a certain degree of wisdom and understood what things were harmful to him.

The opponent was hesitating and trying, but Tanaluna would not give it a chance. She shook her arm slightly and the whip instantly stabbed towards the guy covered with black mucus like a python!

Chapter 57

The tip of the whip, blessed with divine power, was as sharp as a spear. If the opponent was hit directly by this blow, La Luna guessed that he would at least be stabbed to death.

However, what happened next caught La Luna off guard.

The whip that was supposed to pierce the guy directly actually deviated after touching the sticky black night substance on the other person's body.

Ricochet

The monster jumped under the sudden attack, and then immediately distanced itself from La Luna. This attack was a complete loss as it not only failed to injure the monster, but made the monster extremely alert to herself.

But there was no choice but to continue.

La Luna pulled out the whip and whipped it hard towards the place where the monster landed.

Snapped!

The floor collapsed instantly and screams were heard from downstairs.

It's empty again.

La Luna saw the scene just now clearly with her superb dynamic vision. When Bian Zi was about to hit the monster, the mucus on the monster's body suddenly slid under her feet, and she dodged the attack at an extremely fast speed!

The empty whip hit the floor directly, instantly piercing it and startling the residents below. At this moment, a team of people from the Ministry of Justice happened to pass by and rushed in immediately after hearing the scream.

“What happened…!”

As the police inspector rushed into the building, he immediately saw a monster covered in black slime jumping out from a gap in the floor, and then quickly flashed past him. Before he could react, the monster had disappeared on the street.

It turned out that after La Luna smashed the floor, the monster immediately slid down from the side, passed through the floor and quickly fled. After seeing this, La Luna hurriedly followed and bumped into several police officers who were standing at the door and staring at the street in a daze.

I guess he ran away after that.

When La Luna saw the scene at the door, she immediately realized that her prey might have escaped.

"Tsk..."

Suddenly, they heard a very dissatisfied voice coming from behind them. The police inspectors subconsciously turned their heads and saw a man dressed in the uniform of a special investigator standing behind them with a weapon in his hand.

"My Lord, what you just did was..."

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, this guy is the murderer of the imperial capital. Come with me to the third floor to check."

La Luna looked at the dark street outside with a sullen face, then waved her cloak and led the police officers upstairs.

Several police inspectors looked at each other, then followed him one after another. Then La Luna turned around and looked at them.

"Why are you all following me? You are so stupid. Pick one of you to report back to the Ministry of Justice, and the rest of you follow me."

After being scolded by La Luna, the other police chiefs all shrank their heads involuntarily. This gentleman seemed very angry. He might be blaming them for not stopping the suspect at the door. In this situation, everyone wanted to be the one to report back to the Ministry of Justice. It always felt a little dangerous to stay with this gentleman...

"Why are you dilly-dallying?"

The police inspectors looked at each other and quickly played rock-paper-scissors to decide the winner. The lucky winner waved to them triumphantly and ran back to the Ministry of Justice.

The others could only look at each other miserably and then go upstairs reluctantly.

"Light up."

"Yes."

A quick-witted superintendent quickly turned on the surrounding lights, while the others could only stand there in a daze and let La Luna command them.

After the lights illuminated the surrounding darkness, a horrific scene suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

“It’s really brutal.”

On a wall of this floor, a corpse had its hands pinned to the wall by ice spikes, and its lower limbs and abdomen looked as if they had been torn apart by monsters. Its calves were bloody and it had even lost both feet. Its intestines were exposed from its lower abdomen and spread all over the floor. La Luna compared the scars on the body with the records in the files and could confirm with certainty that these wounds were all caused by the same suspect.

And La Luna remembered that when she first came in, it seemed as if she had entered an endless barrier. This abnormal phenomenon must be related to the escaped monster.

And this ability probably comes from that fragment of the alien god...

La Luna scratched her head in annoyance. That guy was completely covered in that layer of black sticky liquid, which completely shielded her mental power. Moreover, the other party could create a domain space that would not give any feedback after her mental power entered.

It's quite difficult to find it by yourself...

I should have known not to hold back.

La Luna thought so with regret.

If I had just used gravity magic to restrict that guy's movements and then fired a magic cannon to send him into the sky, wouldn't I have saved myself the trouble of looking for him again?

But just now, because I had a new weapon in my hand and was still in the mood to play, I played with it for a while longer. I didn’t expect that the prey ran away while playing...

Oh, I'm so angry.

Compared to La Luna's regret, the other police inspectors swallowed their saliva and felt like vomiting after seeing the hellish scene.

Although they are indeed police superintendents, their main duties are patrolling and maintaining public security. The last time they saw issues regarding corpses at the scene was at the Police Academy.

When they were young, they only felt excitement and curiosity when looking at the pictures. However, when a real living corpse was placed in front of them, the stench of incontinence and the fishy smell of blood, the double impact on vision and taste made them almost unable to bear it psychologically.

"You guys, go to other rooms and see if there is any valuable information."

La Luna seemed to notice that something was not right with these guys, and she waved her hand with understanding and asked them to go to other rooms to investigate the scene.

The police inspectors thanked La Luna profusely and then went to other rooms.

La Luna continued to check the details of the wound and looked around.

Soon, the sound of footsteps of a large group of people was heard downstairs of the building. Several people dressed in the uniforms of high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Justice entered the building one after another, and behind them were a group of professional on-site investigators and forensic doctors.

When the officials saw La Luna, they were stunned for a moment, and then immediately greeted La Luna. After La Luna responded politely, she packed up her weapons and prepared to leave.

Just when he passed by an official, the man quietly pulled La Luna's cloak, then gave La Luna a look. After seeing this, La Luna understood and followed the guy to the side.

"Your Excellency, it is reported that the true identity of the murderer has been seen this time. What have you discovered?"

"Well, I did manage to see the true form of the murderer this time, but it was completely useless. That guy looked more like a monster than a human, and he seemed to have a strong evasive ability. He dodged my attacks twice in a row and then ran away. This guy looks really tough."

La Luna's expression revealed a trace of solemnity, which made the official's heart skip a beat.

Chapter 58

"Your Excellency... Is this prisoner stronger than you?"

"That's hard to say."

La Luna touched the whip at her waist.

"I was careless before. I didn't expect the other party to have so many tricks. This gave it a chance to escape. But next time we meet, I won't let it succeed again."

"Then I'll trouble you, sir."

"Well, you can continue with your work. I'll go back to the hotel and rest for the night. The guy was frightened tonight and probably won't dare to come out again. But I'm sure you will be hurt in reporting the scene."

La Luna turned her head and took a look at the horrific corpse, which had been disassembled and put into a body bag by the forensic doctor. The intestines on the ground were also picked up by the forensic doctor and put in.

"Alas, please don't mention this matter. If the criminal suspect is not arrested, His Majesty will get angry and all of us will be stripped of our titles. Then we will really have to go home and farm."

"There's nothing wrong with going home to farm. Anyway, you should be mentally prepared. I can't catch that guy's secretive methods at all. I have to wait until one day it takes the initiative to commit a crime, then I will have a chance to catch it."

"Well, then we can only wait."

After finishing, the official waved to La Luna and returned to his post. La Luna walked straight to the hotel where she was staying without looking back.

"Your Excellency?"

Just as La Luna was about to arrive at the hotel where she was staying, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind her.
