Lu Qing looked at her, not angry, but only feeling sympathy.
The girl had been tortured to the point of mental breakdown, and she tried to side with her tormentor in order to alleviate her pain.
In short, she probably has Stockholm syndrome.
Lu Qing sighed, then looked at the other girl and smiled:
"Don't be afraid! I'll get you out of here!"
After speaking, Lu Qing turned around to look at Ma Xiong, and suddenly a blazing flame rose from his palm.
Ma Xiong then realized something was wrong:
"You're not an ordinary person? You're a police officer!"
Lu Qing curled his lips into a cold smile: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Lu Qing, and I am a Celestial Master!"
"Ma Xiong, you practice evil arts, kidnap, torture, and murder innocent girls. Your crimes are unforgivable. Surrender!"
Ma Xiong gritted his teeth, a fierce aura emanating from his body:
"Make me surrender? No way!"
"You are my prey, and no prey can defy its hunter!"
Ma Xiong rushed forward, overestimating his abilities, and attempted to kill Lu Qing.
But as soon as he released his power, he was trapped by the Nine Nether Lotus Fire.
The scorching flames burned away the faint evil energy within him.
Feeling his strength slowly draining away, Ma Xiong panicked.
"What did you do to me? My power... how could my power have disappeared!"
"No! Let me go! Let me go!!!"
Lu Qing slowly walked forward, slapped Ma Xiong to the ground, and then stepped on his head, grinding it hard against the ground.
"You beast! You bastard! You're absolutely inhuman!"
As Lu Qing cursed and hit, thinking of the innocent girls who had died, she almost beat Ma Xiong to death.
When Gu Xicheng and Jian Ming arrived, Ma Xiong had already been beaten to the point of near death.
"Qingqing! Don't be angry anymore!"
Gu Xicheng held Lu Qing in his arms and gently comforted her.
Lu Qing took a deep breath and finally managed to calm down.
"Simply put, take him back. No need for interrogation, just apply for his soul to be scattered!"
“His soul is too filthy; the Li Clan will not let go of such good nourishment.”
Jianming nodded: "Okay, I understand. I'll apply to the director right away."
When Ma Xiong was taken away, the girl who suffered from Stockholm syndrome even tried to go over, but Lu Qing stopped her.
"You are safe now, there's no need to deceive yourself anymore!"
The girl's gaze suddenly sharpened, and the fear in her eyes deepened.
"No! No! No!"
Lu Qing sighed and had someone take her away.
The other girl pursed her lips and thanked Lu Qing:
"Thank you for saving me!"
"Don't blame her. When I was captured, she had already been tortured quite a bit."
That person tortured her even more cruelly than they tortured me. If I were her… I probably wouldn't have fared much better.”
That girl looked somewhat like Xiang Peiyun, which might be why Ma Xiong tortured her even more cruelly!
Genetic testing revealed that Ma Xiong is a supermale with severe violent tendencies.
Because of this, he was often scolded by his parents when he was a child, and his peers did not like to play with him.
The reason he developed feelings for Xiang Peiyun was because he had once regarded her as one of his own.
When Xiang Peiyun was a child, she was chased by a dog for a period of time. One day, she was so scared that she picked up a stick and beat the dog to death.
Ma Xiong witnessed this scene.
He then regarded Xiang Peiyun as someone like himself.
He seemed to be pursuing Xiang Peiyun, but he was actually just too lonely and wanted to find someone as crazy as him to keep him company.
But as he grew up, he gradually realized that Xiang Peiyun was not his kind at all.
Xiang Peiyun is warm-hearted, kind, and loves small animals; she and he are from completely different worlds.
Ma Xiong felt he had been deceived, so he began to take revenge.
He grabbed Pei Yun and tortured her like a small animal, venting his emotions and deriving satisfaction from it.
But soon, tormenting Xiang Peiyun could no longer bring him happiness.
He needs new prey.
And that's how the girl who was kidnapped came about.
After the Li Clan realized the extreme evil of this soul, they gave him the evil cultivation techniques.
His evil arts were not the strongest among cultivation techniques, but his soul was the darkest.
Whether it's Peng Hao's greed, Miao Yu's anger, Jian Yunxing's infatuation, or Yu Chunhua's love, there are reasons for everything. But Ma Xiong's evil is pure; he was born evil and had no reason.
Even without Xiang Peiyun as the catalyst, Ma Xiong would have gone down the same path of crime.
With the approval of higher authorities, it was agreed that Ma Xiong would be executed by the death penalty, which would cause his soul to be scattered.
On the day of his execution, Gu Xicheng received a message from his older brother:
The Li Clan hasn't given up on Ma Xiong's soul; they asked me to find a way to bring Ma Xiong out.
[This might be a good opportunity to lure and capture members of the Wraith Clan. Would you like to give it a try?]
Gu Xicheng pondered for a moment and then replied:
I'll discuss it with Qingqing.
Gu Xicheng told Lu Qing about this.
Lu Qing frowned and said, "Ma Xiong's soul is too malevolent; it must not be handed over to the Li Clan."
"But the method you suggested might be worth a try."
Gu Xicheng: "If we fail, the consequences could be too great."
Lu Qing raised an eyebrow and smiled: "We don't need to use a real Ma Xiong. We can just find a fake one to make it look like a real one."
"That's possible, but to make it convincing, we at least need to fool the Li Clan!"
Lu Qing: "Simple! We have the Li Clan, right? We can control the Li Clan to possess us and fool them for a while."
“Okay, then I’ll tell my brother.” Gu Xicheng said in a low voice.
Lu Qing: "But we should discuss this with Uncle Li. We need some manpower, otherwise if it escapes again, even our brother's card will be useless."
Gu Xicheng turned and glanced at Li Hui:
When should we go and talk to them?
Lu Qing: "Um... how about now!"
Gu Xicheng: "Wait a minute, let me make him a cup of honeysuckle tea to cool him down!"
Since learning that Wang Yanjun was a spy, Li Hui appeared to be fine on the surface, but in reality, he had cursed Wang Yanjun's photo countless times in private.
Wang Yanjun was personally trained by Li Hui, who was not only his leader but also his mentor.
Li Hui's heart ached terribly when his own apprentice became a spy and he had to give the order to arrest him.
Lu Qing originally intended to tell him the truth, but considering the seriousness of the matter, she felt that the fewer people who knew, the better, so she held back.
If Li Hui knew that Wang Yanjun had lied to him and gone undercover alone, he would be furious!
Sure enough, after hearing Lu Qing's words, Li Hui froze for three seconds, then slammed his hand on the table:
"Damn it! That little bastard!!!"
"He went undercover without even reporting to me! Does he even respect me as the bureau chief anymore?!"
Gu Xicheng quickly brought over the tea: "Uncle Li, please calm down. My brother didn't mean it."
"And you, you actually helped him keep it from me too! That's outrageous!"
Li Hui pointed at Gu Xicheng's nose and cursed.
"Uncle Li, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hide it from you!" Lu Qing apologized helplessly.
Li Hui waved his hand: "Girl, you don't need to apologize, this has nothing to do with you!"
Lu Qing: "..."
Uncle Li, your preferential treatment is a bit too obvious!
