Logically speaking, the Liu family shouldn't have dared to call the police.
But now the inspection team has come. Are they here to find the murderer for the Liu family?
The scene changes.
Led by the Liu family, the inspection team arrived at a private room.
Upon opening the door, one sees neatly arranged slices of meat, offal, and bones piled on an expensive carpet.
"Captain Du, you must stand up for my Liu family! This is the seventh person from my Liu family to be killed recently, and everyone died in the same way. I don't know who is deliberately going against my Liu family."
The speaker was the manager of the arena, a capable woman in her forties, who was in charge of the Liu family's operations.
Du Fuwei ignored the other person and instead circled the corpse, looking around the room.
Suddenly, his eyes turned blood red, looking eerily sinister.
"There were faint spatial fluctuations, very little Netherworld power remained, and no scent was left behind. The opponent must have used the Chef Gui's 'Butcher's Dissection Technique,' killing in no more than half an hour. A single strike, with no signs of struggle."
With each step he took, he would utter a sentence, and a subordinate beside him would record it with a voice recorder.
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the private room.
The female manager quickly asked, "Captain Du, are you leaving already?"
"Otherwise, do you still want to invite me to watch the game?"
Du Fuwei was a tall and robust middle-aged man with deep frown lines between his brows, exuding an imposing and authoritative aura.
The female manager was taken aback by the question, then forced a smile, "The competitions here are all small-scale and wouldn't be of any interest to you. I just wanted to ask, Captain Du, are you confident that you can catch the murderer?"
"It's hard to say. Each of your families has many hidden experts, and I don't know if we can find this person. But don't worry, we will definitely investigate carefully and try our best to find him."
Du Fuwei's words had a hidden meaning, and the female manager smiled awkwardly, not responding to the comment.
The inspection team then turned and left.
Back at the headquarters in the capital, his subordinates had some questions.
"Captain Du, haven't we always just watched these families fight like dogs? Why are you looking for the murderer for the Liu family this time?"
Du Fuwei stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the city night view outside, and said in a deep voice, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
He actually knew the reason, but it was inconvenient for him to tell his subordinates.
Rumors have it that Li Gui of the Liu family has disappeared, and other families are likely to gradually devour and annex the Liu family. The higher-ups at the General Administration want to use this opportunity to win over the Liu family, making them a spy planted by the authorities within this ancient family.
By stepping forward to investigate the murderer for the Liu family, he was sending a message to other families that the authorities were protecting the Liu family, and that they should all behave themselves.
However, the higher-ups and the Liu family have not yet reached an agreement, and it is still uncertain whether or not the murderer will be found.
The scene returns to the arena, where the match has already begun.
The stadium was packed today, and the audience was exceptionally enthusiastic.
The rules for the first round of the competition were simple: the organizers would randomly select a "wild monster" (a type of monster), and the contestants would take turns trying to solve the rules.
Successfully solving the puzzle will allow you to advance to the second round, where you can freely deal with the strange entities, either by forming a contract or killing them on the spot.
If the rule is not broken or is triggered, the player will be eliminated immediately, and an expert will rescue them on site to prevent them from being killed by the monster.
The next player continues to solve the current mystery, and so on, until all the wild mysteries have been solved.
The organizers prepared a total of 136 wild monsters. If all the wild monsters are solved and there are still players who have not yet played, they will directly advance to the second round.
If all players have taken turns and there are still unsolved puzzles, then a puzzle will be randomly selected from the advancing players to continue solving it.
Each game only takes two or three minutes to finish.
When Xia Tianqiong entered the game, more than thirty rounds had already been played.
Walking into the stadium through the lounge's private entrance, I was met with complete darkness; the organizers had turned off the lights!
A large light was shining on the eight- or nine-meter-high ceiling; it was a dim, white light, somewhat like moonlight.
It fell to the ground, casting a soft shadow.
Xia Tianqiong thought that it might be to increase the tension, or it might be that some strange thing required such an environment to implement the rules of death.
He stood at the exit, and after a few seconds of adjustment, he gradually saw the situation on the field.
A small figure stood in the center of the field, about one meter tall, with snowflakes falling continuously above its head.
Xia Tianqiong was stunned for a moment. Could it be the Ghost Realm?
That shouldn't be the case. The first round was all about wild monsters, how could they possibly possess a monster domain?
He wasn't afraid at all and strode over.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the girl was wearing tattered clothes, her hair was dirty and messy, and her face was red from the cold.
Three or four meters above its head, countless snowflakes appeared out of thin air and landed within a meter of the girl.
It looked a bit strange, like a pillar of snow enveloping the girl.
It saw Xia Tianqiong coming over and took two steps forward, with the snowflakes above following it.
He followed her wherever she went, like snow falling specifically for her.
Xia Tianqiong wondered, could it be a wild-level snow demon?
As he was lost in thought, the little girl spoke.
"Brother, are you cold? Do you want to buy my matches?"
The voice was clear and crisp, but it carried a hint of weakness.
Xia Tianqiong's eyes widened suddenly. It turned out to be the little match girl!
This is quite ingenious! It will be very useful in the future!
The stands were silent; all the spectators watched in hushed tones, their tension palpable.
This little devil has already eliminated six people.
Whether you buy the matches or not, the rules will be triggered.
The audience was completely baffled; it was a very common rule, yet they just couldn't figure it out.
"Second brother, do you think Chu Xu can crack it?"
Mo Ling suddenly asked Mo Beihan in a soft voice.
Mo Beihan pondered for a moment, "It's hard to say. The rules of this strange creature are a bit tricky. If you know it beforehand, you can think about other things. But people who encounter it for the first time will probably choose to buy matches."
"Chu Xu was so confident just now, as if he could break any rule! I'd like to see if he can!"
Mo Ling pouted, a little dissatisfied with Chu Xu, "If he can't solve it, he'll be eliminated in the first round. Let's see if he still has the nerve to act mysterious in front of me!"
