"What's going on?" Li Mu suddenly felt surprised by the harmonious atmosphere in the office.
"What else could it be? The violent energy in your colleagues' hearts has been absorbed by that fox demon. It seems this fox demon should be from the White Fox clan. I didn't expect to see one here," Grandfather Yaogu sighed.
"I see." Li Mu didn't pay any more attention. He didn't want to get involved with this fox demon. Peaceful days were what he liked most.
......
On the street next to Li Mu's office building.
The surrounding area of the alley had been blocked off, and several police cars were parked on the ground, preventing any irrelevant personnel from passing through.
The old policeman, wearing gloves, observed the bloodstains and fur on the ground.
He looked at the hard cement ground, which had three cracks extending from it as if it had been dug by an excavator, and couldn't help but suck in a cold breath.
"Captain, the identity of the deceased has been investigated."
A team member in a police uniform walked over and handed the information in his hand to the old policeman.
"The deceased is called Zhang Yuan and is a tenant in a nearby residential area. He doesn't have any enemies in Yundu and can be considered a homebody."
"So, the possibility of the deceased being murdered is very small?"
The old policeman asked, taking the information.
"Yes, we also checked the surveillance cameras at the time, but for some reason, the cameras became inexplicably blurry when playing back the footage of Zhang Yuan being killed."
"What about the videos circulating online?"
"The authenticity is temporarily unknown."
The police officer shook his head, regretfully indicating that he was not very clear.
The old policeman looked at the three cracks on the ground, feeling puzzled as to what exactly caused them.
"But Captain," the police officer said softly.
"I think the videos circulating online are probably real."
"Don't think wildly," the old policeman reprimanded, but he didn't deny the police officer's words.
Recently, the police station had been frequently mobilized, and some strangers had appeared in the bureau.
The director kept silent about these matters, as if the higher-level leaders had issued some important orders.
"Check if there have been any special events recently."
The old policeman said to the police officer.
"Okay, Captain," the police officer nodded.
Soon, detailed information was delivered.
"There have been some mysterious events recently. There have been 4 cases in Yundu, some saying they saw a dragon, and others saying they saw a ghost. There are more special events nationwide, a total of three hundred and fifty, many of which are unreliable claims from villagers."
"When did the 4 special events in Yundu occur?"
The old policeman asked after thinking for a moment.
"Let me check." The police officer lowered his head, then his voice stuttered. "It, it seems to be just this past week."
"Hoo." The old policeman exhaled from his lungs.
The deceased's body was as if it had been crushed by a crushing machine, with scattered limbs and rotten skin nearby.
There were no traces of criminals, no footprints, or even fingerprints.
Only the deep three cracks on the cement ground.
"I hope it's not what I'm thinking," the old policeman thought in his heart.
"Captain, someone's here!" A police officer beside him shouted.
The old policeman turned his head.
He saw several people in plain clothes walking over.
In front of them, a girl with long black hair was quietly looking at him.
Her black hair floated with her steps.
She held a long sword in her hand, and the old policeman could recognize that it was a Tang sword.
What made the old policeman feel palpitation was the girl's snake-like eyes.
Even though she looked pretty, it was difficult for the old policeman to feel at ease.
That was the intuition he had from his many years as a policeman.
That instinctive intuition told him to stay away from the girl in front of him; she was very dangerous.
"We are from the Special Operations Department, and we will now take over this case."
The plainclothes man next to the girl took out his certificate.
The old policeman took it and nodded after examining it carefully.
"This is the order from the organization. From now on, this street will be blocked off at night. No matter what happens, no one is allowed to come over. We hope that the nearby police can cooperate well."
"Okay! I understand the above's words," the old policeman said seriously.
"May I know your names?"
"My name is Cheng Gang," the plainclothes man who handed over the certificate said.
"Jiang Zhi."
The girl said abruptly, her voice light.
"Jiang Zhi? That's a pretty name," the old policeman thought, looking at the girl.
"But are you really capable?"
"Jiang Zhi is an elite member of our Special Operations Department, so don't worry," Cheng Gang said, seeing the old policeman's doubts.
"Okay, this is the information we obtained from the scene," the old policeman handed the information to the group.
Then he and his team members left the scene.
"Miss Jiang Zhi, can you tell what this is?"
"Just a monster, not very dangerous."
Jiang Zhi said calmly, looking at the traces on the cement ground.
"It seems that it's a monster from the Demon Realm that attacked a passerby."
Cheng Gang frowned.
He was very troubled by this kind of uncertain factor.
"The places where monsters are born are too random, and we can't predict them. But since it's new here, it shouldn't be able to run far."
"Requisition the nearby residents' houses to prevent it from coming out and harming people."
After getting off work and finishing dinner, night had fallen. Urged by Yaogu, Li Mu prepared to go to the nearby park to absorb spiritual energy.
"Boom—!"
Suddenly, he felt a tremor under his feet, as if a ten-thousand-ton hammer had struck the ground.
The cement ground under his feet made a creaking sound, as if it could shatter at any moment.
"It's like being bombed by a cannonball."
Li Mu looked at the smoke rising not far away.
The explosion just now came from that direction.
With a forceful push of his feet, he rose into the air like a wild goose.
Then, under the force of gravity, he quickly fell forward.
In just a few breaths, Li Mu arrived at the scene.
He stood on the roof, looking at the situation below, slightly stunned.
A black-haired girl, holding a Tang sword, agilely slashed at a huge white wolf.
The white wolf spewed out smoky mist, its dark blue eyes staring fiercely at the girl.
"Who is she? Exorcising demons here?"
Just as Li Mu was wondering, a urging voice came from afar.
"Jiang Zhi! Please capture this monster as soon as possible!"
"I know," Jiang Zhi said calmly.
Reflecting the dim streetlights, the Tang sword in her hand drew a beautiful arc.
"Kill!"
She rushed towards the white wolf, her figure as elusive as a ghost.
"Chih—!"
The white wolf retreated a few steps in pain, a wound etched on its body by Jiang Zhi.
She frowned, looking at the white wolf, not expecting this monster to be more troublesome than she had imagined.
Not only was its body unusually tough, but its agility was also unlike that of a creature several meters in size.
"Awoo!!!"
The white wolf cried out loudly, then its whole body radiated a faint light.
In the center of its body, an even more formidable head tore through flesh and blood, emerging from within.
"This wolf has two heads!"
Cheng Gang looked solemnly at the two-headed giant wolf that was growing bigger and bigger.
"Jiang Zhi! Be careful!"
The wolf's head glowed with fire, the scorching temperature distorting the surrounding air.
"Here it comes!" Jiang Zhi looked solemn, gazing at the white wolf.
She had originally thought she could easily end the battle, but she didn't expect this white wolf to still be holding back its strength.
"Bang—Dong—!"
The white wolf, nearly twenty meters tall, suddenly slammed into the ground.
The white wolf didn't even have time to wail before its bones were shattered.
Huge cracks spread along the street, like a giant spider web spanning dozens of meters.
"Who?"
Several people looked warily at the masked youth standing on the white wolf's body.
He was wearing plain clothes, his gaze scanning around. When he saw Jiang Zhi, he revealed a puzzled expression.
Like a passerby just getting off work, he greeted them casually.
"Hello."
Li Mu glanced at the person and noticed that Grandfather Yaogu on his left hand had stopped speaking. Just as he was about to feel puzzled, he heard movement in his mind.
"Kid, run quickly. This guy is not someone you can afford to provoke."
"Who is he?" Li Mu asked, staring at the youth.
"He's the culprit who caused the demons to fall into the void, stirred up the destruction of Happy Square, and destroyed a secret realm! I saw him by Lord Chi Yao's side back then! I never thought he'd be here too! I'll never forget his scent, even after a thousand years."
