After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

Can't we stay in this world forever?

Erlang Shen still didn't quite trust Zhou Yan.

"You want me to leave behind the life essence of the Ziwei Emperor, are you trying to make me provoke Yinglong?"

Zhou Yan said he would take full responsibility for this matter and do everything himself, but Erlang Shen wasn't stupid. Now that Zhou Yan was in his hands, if Zhou Yan did anything, he would inevitably be seen as being in league with Zhou Yan by the forces that killed Lin Ziwei.

Oh no, there's no need to look at sosuo:思∞ba∩◇散…￡杉○ˉ〃俉 anymore. Ever since Erlang Shen rescued Zhou Yan, he should have already been considered as part of the forces that killed Lin Ziwei.

Therefore, leaving behind Lin Ziwei's life essence might be a signal. If this is done, the awakened group that killed Lin Ziwei might secretly deal with him.

Zhou Yan looked at Erlang Shen in despair.

Zhou Yan couldn't even imagine what he would do if Lin Ziwei really had such a strange relationship with him, and now that she was dead and the life essence couldn't be preserved.

Without the crucial PC for clearing the game, the story can't progress, and I'll be permanently stuck in this transitional level of the world.

"Wait a minute..."

Erlang Shen pointed to the boiled beef.

"Bai Ze, you eat first. As for Lin Ziwei's matter... I'll consider it."

Erlang Shen left Zhou Yan's bedroom and dialed Officer Wang's number after he got outside.

"Officer Wang, I have a question for you."

"Yes, Young Master Zhou, please ask."

"Have you found all of Lin Ziwei's body?"

Zhou Yan said he wanted Lin Ziwei's life essence. If nothing unexpected happens, Lin Ziwei's corpse should be hinting at something, so much so that if he were to come into contact with or possess it, it might arouse the suspicion of others.

"I'll go ask."

Lin Ziwei died by dismemberment. Although most of her body parts were still intact, her house exploded, and many of her body parts were buried under the rubble.

The sorting of these body parts is the responsibility of the forensic doctor. Less than 20 hours have passed since Lin Ziwei's death, and the forensic doctor's autopsy report has not yet been completed. Officer Wang also does not know the extent to which the forensic doctor has accomplished this task.

Erlang Shen waited for five minutes before the phone made a sound again.

"I've inquired. Corpse Nine is almost fully pieced together, but Corpse Four's heart is missing."

Erlang Shen's face darkened slightly. Could his heart not be found?

"Officer Wang, if this can't be found, can it be considered an accident, or deliberate?"

"It was probably murdered. There were marks on her chest where she had been cut with a sharp weapon. The forensic doctor told me that he suspected the reason Lin Ziwei was killed might simply be that the murderers wanted her heart."

So there's something strange about Lin Ziwei after all?

However, those awakened assassins wanted the heart, while Bai Ze wanted the life essence.

"baffling?"

Erlang Shen tried his best to make his tone playful.

"What's the point of having a heart? Unmatched organs have no value other than being stir-fried."

Erlang Shen had read some social news. Some self-media outlets, in order to attract attention, would write some fabricated gossip, such as a capitalist and a gang leader wanting internal organs, and his underlings capturing several civilians to cut off their kidneys.

In reality, the internal organs of people who are not matched and have not undergone detailed testing are of no value when removed.

"Yes, that's true. I suspect that Lin Ziwei may have recently undergone a physical examination, and then some data has been used against her. I will go to the hospital that Lin Ziwei recently visited to inquire later. I should be able to get enough information."

"Yes, Officer Wang, thank you for your hard work. I'll send you a gift to reward you later."

Qi: "Young Master Zhou is too kind."

Erlang Shen hung up the phone and then dialed the number of Xiaotianquan.

"Xiaotian, come here for a moment, I have something to tell you."

Fifteen minutes later.

Erlang Shen, who was sitting in the living room, heard the key being inserted into the keyhole of the outer door. Then the door opened, and Xiaotianquan walked in.

When Ling Xiaotianquan arrived at the living room, Erlang Shen spoke to him.

"Xiaotian, I need you to do something... something big. And this can't be known by anyone else..."

"Howling Celestial Dog said smugly."

"You can rest assured that I'll handle things."

After Erlang Shen finished giving his instructions, Xiaotian Dog left the living room.

After leaving, Xiaotian Dog abandoned his mode of transportation and carefully observed his surroundings. After confirming that there were no spells or living people monitoring him, he went to a nearby safe house to change his clothes and put on makeup that would make him unrecognizable. Then he rode his bicycle from the wealthy area where Erlang Shen was now to the nearest clinic.

Xiaotianquan waited outside the clinic for a long time until a bald doctor came out. Then, Xiaotianquan found a blind spot where the surveillance cameras couldn't see him and rushed up to the bald doctor.

"I want to work on the active preservation of the original life essence."

"Howling Celestial Dog said in a calm voice."

The middle-aged, balding doctor thought for a moment. They were a clinic in a wealthy neighborhood, equipped with all sorts of expensive medical equipment, including a service specifically for the wealthy to preserve their life essence.

"One million, but the price will double if you don't show your identity."

The bald doctor's tone left no room for argument; he had done a lot of illegal things in his profession, and he himself was capable of doing anything for money.

"Howling Celestial Dog immediately said."

"make a deal!"

……

City Police Department.

Wearing a baseball cap, the dog bypassed the nearby surveillance cameras and sneaked to the entrance of the police station.

Erlang Shen had been cooperating with the police for a long time. Due to his long-term financial support, many things that were originally classified within the police force had been revealed to him. Given that most local police officers had ties to gangs, no officer would consider gangsters to be more noble than capitalists.

Therefore, both Erlang Shen and Xiaotianquan Ba ​​are very familiar with the surveillance of Police Station 2. They know exactly which surveillance cameras are good and which are bad, what the angle of the surveillance is, and what the blind spots are.

Upon arriving at the outer perimeter of the police station, the hat-wearing dog sniffed the air, taking in the surrounding scents.

The Celestial Dog smelled the eggy aroma of the scallion pancake, the body odor of thousands of people, and a mixture of perfume, sweat, body odor, and foot odor.

A map was laid out with scents as markers, and the Celestial Hound could smell the location of each person and their dynamic changes.

Based on these changes, the celestial dog stealthily slipped to the back wall of a detached forensic building where the surveillance cameras were broken, and then sneaked in through the back wall.

He reached the back door through the back wall. There was a surveillance camera at the back door, but Xiaotianquan didn't dare to go beyond the camera's range. Instead, he reached the second-floor stairwell window through the rain pipe on the first floor and slipped inside from the outside.

At this point, Xiaotianquan breathed a sigh of relief and took off his coat, revealing the police uniform he was wearing underneath.

There are surveillance cameras and guards at the entrance of the police station, so it's impossible for him to have entered just by wearing a police uniform. Now that he's inside, most people won't suspect his colleague who's wearing the same uniform.

Xiaotianquan threw his coat into the trash can on the second floor, then held onto the coat, kept his head down, and walked so that the surveillance cameras wouldn't capture his face.

　Zhong: 209≥∝4）↓!◎』Wu≠∪‰4 After walking a few dozen steps, Xiaotianquan arrived at the forensic office. The door to the forensic office was closed, and some conversations could be faintly heard from inside.

There are people inside; it seems the forensic doctor is still examining Lin Ziwei's body.

Xiaotianquan reached into his pocket and tapped a few times on his phone.

Then I went to the restroom.

After a while, Officer Wang, who had a good personal relationship with Erlang Shen, came up from the first floor and brought two forensic doctors out of the forensic office. He was holding a mobile phone in his hand and said something.

"Young Master Zhou, I'll bring the forensic doctor to the conference room immediately so we can speak face-to-face..."

The footsteps faded away from the second floor.

After leaving the bathroom, Xiaotianquan put on shoe covers and sneaked into the forensic office.

There were surveillance cameras in the office, but Erlang Shen had already hired a hacker to disable the surveillance footage for this period of time, and Xiaotianquan arrived at the forensic doctor's office without any incident.

Half a minute later, Xiaotianquan left the forensic office.

……

Inside a luxury mansion.

Erlang Shen, who was sitting in the living room, received a text message.

"I've already bought the milk tea. Do you want some? If not, I'll give it away."

Erlang Shen breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Erlang Shen did not believe Zhou Yan's words, it was clear that after rescuing Zhou Yan and killing the assassin who had tried to kill the Ziwei Emperor, he was now on the same side as Zhou Yan.

So instead of pretending to know nothing, understand nothing, and completely ignore Zhou Yan's words, it's still necessary to make some preparations.

For example, Erlang Shen was very curious about what was so different about the life essence of the Ziwei Emperor that Zhou Yan insisted on preserving himself.

Did those who killed the Ziwei Emperor and took his heart have some strange motive? (8_◎⊥%)

Now that he has allowed his own celestial hound to obtain the life essence of the Ziwei Emperor without telling anyone, can he test the differences between these life essences?

Perhaps the test results will reveal what that bastard Zhou Yan is really up to.

"Bang... bang... bang..."

There was a loud banging on Zhou Yan's door.

Erlang Shen put aside his ulterior motives and silently walked to Zhou Yan's door.

The banging on the door had become much more intense, and the solid wood bedroom door was making a hollow, hollow sound as it was struck.

Erlang Shen shouted loudly.

"I've opened the door!"

The banging on the door stopped.

Erlang Shen opened the door.

Inside the door was Zhou Yan, who was rubbing his shoulder. Despite having twice the strength of a normal person, Zhou Yan was unable to break open the solid wooden door. The commotion just now was only to attract Erlang Shen's attention.

Just as Erlang Shen was about to speak, Zhou Yan shouted.

"Lin Ziwei... have you investigated? I'm not talking about Lin Ziwei of the Ziwei Emperor, I'm talking about your female simp Lin Ziwei!"

Zhou Yan had never mentioned Lin Ziwei to Erlang Shen before, because Zhou Yan seriously suspected that Lin Ziwei was his past life, the incarnation of the ultimate fun beast, Lao Bai Ze.

Faced with these two ultimate fun beasts who were nine years older than him, whose supernatural powers were more comprehensive, and whose experiences and knowledge were far superior to his own, Zhou Yan was completely unwilling to meet them, fearing that he would be deceived by them again until he was left with nothing but his underwear.

But now it's different. Because the life essence of the Ziwei Emperor has lost its activity, I may have to stay in this world for the rest of my life.

Zhou Yan could only hope that while this amusing beast was taking pleasure in his body, it would also give him a way out.

Although Zhou Yan was unwilling to admit it, while Bai Ze was pushing the plot forward and suppressing his own sphere of influence, he was also pointing out a path that could be followed.

That bastard is a real scoundrel. I clearly wanted to distance myself from him, but in the end I still have to bow my head and cooperate with him.

The feeling of being stepped on and spat on, and then having to fawn over someone...

I must have committed some terrible sins in my past life.

Erlang Shen's expression remained unchanged, and Zhou Yan, unsure of what the great god was thinking, could only sigh.

"Lin Ziwei, yes, it's the old Bai Ze, the one who has been deceiving and toying with you all along. I am the new Bai Ze, understand?"

Zhou Yan reached out and grabbed Erlang Shen's hand.

"You've been fooled by Lin Ziwei. He pretends to be a devoted admirer, but in reality, he's an incarnation of Bai Ze manipulating you."

Erlang Shen's usually impassive expression subtly changed.

Zhou Yan's words reminded Him of the terror of being dominated by Bai Ze in women's clothing—no, completely female—back then.

However, Erlang Shen still did not believe Zhou Yan's words.

Wu Zhouyan had no choice but to speak.

"Lin Ziwei and Lin Ziwei are cousins, Erlang, check it out!"

Lu Erlang Shen pushed away Zhou Yan's hand that was holding him.

Lu: "I understand. I'll investigate Lin Ziwei's matter, but I think..."

Erlang Shen took a breath. He had a headache. It was supposed to be just a matter of getting revenge on Bai Ze, so why did it suddenly involve so many other things?

4. The Ziwei Emperor, Yinglong, Old Bai Ze, and the inexplicable Awakened Organization.

Bai Ze, aren't you being a bit too much of a troublemaker? Why are all these messy things starting to happen after you appeared?
