Chapter 120 Conan's Physique Under the Revival of Spiritual Energy (Part 4)

How can this tragic relationship be described as anything less than a karmic entanglement?

But Si Yisi didn't have time to pay attention to this law enforcement officer at the moment—

Si Yisi continued to act as if nothing was wrong, even with law enforcement officers pointing guns at her!

Officer Xiaohua watched as the thin, seemingly criminal suspect stared unblinkingly into some distant point in the void... and then!

Si Yisi had no time to explain his innocence to this junior officer. He licked his lips, a predator's glint in his eyes.

Li Banxue's Conan-like constitution had long been suspected by him to be caused by some kind of anomaly, and the two deaths that had befallen Si Yisi in succession were enough to make him wary.

For the next month or so, things were calm and peaceful. It didn't seem like they were giving up, but rather that they were plotting to kill him.

See, here it is now!

If Si Yisi wasn't mistaken, even if Si Yisi pretended not to see the dark, blurry object and explained to the police officer, the guest's death would still ultimately be blamed on him.

If the food served to the guests is poisoned, there's no doubt that evidence of poisoning might be hidden in the kitchen as well.

This is going to drive Si Yisi to become a murderer!

In this situation, he would be utterly speechless, and a huge pot would be slammed down on him.

Is explaining now the wise choice? Si Yisi curled the corners of his lips, his lips were slightly pale, yet they exuded a captivating aura, which was somewhat in line with his identity as the Demon King in his previous world.

However, this time he gave that young policewoman a more eerie feeling.

Officer Xiao Hua was caught in a dilemma: should he take the gun or not? He stared wide-eyed as the slender boy knocked over the plate of food and then launched an attack into the void.

He couldn't describe Si Yisi's movements—why were his own kicking attacks during training not as fluid and graceful as the boy in front of him?

Si Yisi's every strike was swift and decisive, without a trace of hesitation, as if he had simplified each attack to the extreme, adding a simple beauty to every detail.

He didn't seem to be just putting on airs; despite his thin frame and the lack of any apparent release of spiritual energy, he...

He gives off the air of a big shot!

Officer Xiaohua stared in disbelief. Yes, every strike was beyond the capabilities of a normal person, but how could they be attacking nothing at all?

Is there something there?!

After Si Yisi finished his attack, he immediately transformed from a martial arts expert into a weak and listless young man. This young man had delicate features, and upon closer inspection, one could even sense that he was suffering from a long-term illness.

Si Yisi walked over to Officer Xiao Hua and touched the body of the deceased guest without him noticing.

He had barely taken a step when the officer jumped three feet high like a startled rabbit and took a big step back.

Given this situation, who is the suspect and who is the police officer?

Si Yisi took another step forward, a trace of worry creeping onto her brow: "Officer, I have no reason to harm anyone! Besides, I'm completely defenseless..."

As he spoke, he glanced at a chicken tied up beside him.

"..." I didn't believe your nonsense!

Officer Xiao Hua couldn't help but look at his own arms, thinking that he was the one who was truly powerless.

The death of a cultivator can now lead to a lot of trouble. Si Yisi's hard-won little shop has been temporarily sealed off to investigate the cause of the cultivator's death.

"...We meet again."

Lin Anran was feeling extremely conflicted; she felt like she had been having the worst luck lately.

How come I keep running into this person in one or two suspected special events?

"Let's apply to transfer this time..." Lin Anran felt her heart breaking and thought sincerely.

Despite her disarray, Lin Anran quickly began examining the cause of death of the deceased—and it was unexpected!

The person in front of us, who was seen by some people just a few days ago, was found to have died more than a month ago by active practitioners!

The deceased's internal organs were so rotten that they were unrecognizable, but the skin seemed to be supported by something, so there was no abnormality visible from the outside.

This is yet another case of mischief, possibly caused by a strange beast!

Recently, not only in Lincheng, but also in other cities, there have been many such strange incidents. They all seem to be a group crime with a specific purpose.

At a time when spiritual energy has only recently revived and various aspects are still underdeveloped, this is nothing short of a provocation or an intractable disaster.

"You've been unjustly afflicted by this—"

Officer Lin summarized for a moment, then asked Si Yisi again with a complicated expression, "Do you want to get checked again? Maybe your spiritual energy is just being hidden."

Si Yisi shook her head: "It's good to be an ordinary person."

He smiled.

What's so great about being a hero? This was unimaginable for Li Banxue, and while Si Yisi could understand some people's individual dreams of heroism, he still wanted to say—

A hero is not a hero if only one person is a hero.

In truth, the nation itself is the true hero!

Forever... an immortal hero exists.

But you're not an ordinary person! Officer Lin could only smile helplessly as he watched Si Yisi leave. This place was no longer safe! She was going to find work elsewhere!

Si Yisi was closing the small restaurant at that moment, looking down at the dark, lifeless mass lying in her palm.

This thing was the culprit that caused him trouble; it was hidden inside the body of the deceased guest, and Si Yisi grabbed it based on her sense of touch—

They were like lambs to the slaughter.

The guest's internal organs were highly atrophied because they had lost the support of the dark, sticky substance.

The black, gooey thing looked like a poorly made, shoddy product, emitting a cackling laugh. Its body was like a lump of jelly, and Si Yisi could leave a finger mark with every poke.

Si Yisi felt a chill when her hand first touched the dark, gooey substance, but this chill quickly turned into a slightly warm sensation.

It feels somewhat...comfortable.

At the same time, a slight chill came from Si Yisi's chest.

He raised an eyebrow and brought out a jade pendant that Li Banxue had always worn, which already had a crack.

The dark, gooey substance slowly dissipated in Si Yisi's hand, like fog being blown away by the wind, just as it was about to completely vanish—

The eerie, croaking laughter suddenly changed.

"Found you...found you." The voice was chilling, as if it came from the netherworld!

Then, the sound abruptly stopped—

As the sound disappeared, the jade pendant returned to normal, but under Si Yisi's gaze, the cracks on it seemed to have increased.

Si Yisi held the jade pendant, thinking to herself:

Is the jade pendant a form of protection or... another kind of seal?

He felt that the truth had already been revealed, and soon he would be closer to Li Banxue's wish!

He wanted to live a peaceful life, so the first thing he needed to do was find out what was preventing him from living a peaceful life, or even what was causing him to develop this almost Conan-like condition.

In the following days, the temperature in the cities surrounding Lincheng suddenly rose sharply!

The city hasn't been greatly affected yet, but the countryside is filled with cries of despair! Other cities are experiencing light, drizzling rain as predicted, but the cities surrounding Lin City haven't seen a drop of water…

Even more so, the temperature soared, making the ground scorching hot enough to bake an egg to death.

In this situation, the unscathed Lincheng was like an oasis in the desert...

Many people from nearby towns flocked to the nearest city, Lincheng, to escape the summer heat, but Si Yisi looked calmly at the raindrops falling like pearls on a jade plate.

What would happen if the oasis also disappeared?
