I followed You and took a taxi all the way to the police station.
After getting out of the car, the two of us found a quiet corner without cameras to hide ourselves.
We then entered the police station openly and honestly. Although we were inside, I wasn't familiar with police stations, and after wandering around for a long time, I still couldn't find where people were being held.
Just when I was about to give up, I happened to pass by a house, and the conversation inside immediately caught my attention.
"Old Li, why are there so many strange things happening lately?"
Strange? I became suspicious and stopped to listen.
"Who can argue with that? A perfectly healthy person can suddenly go mad, and the symptoms of madness are exactly the same."
There's no mistake, they must be talking about people possessed by resentment.
"Xin'er?"
"Come here." I beckoned to You. "The resentment has been dealt with."
Hearing this, You raised an eyebrow slightly and came to my side. I pointed to the door and said, "Listen."
"I think they might be possessed by evil spirits. Perhaps we should find some..."
"Shut up! What are you saying? You're a veteran police officer, how can you still have such feudal superstitions?"
"It's not me either, sigh, it's just that there have been too many examples like this lately."
"Why."
You and I were listening intently in front of the door when a young policeman rushed over from the other end of the corridor.
"Knock, knock, knock." The young policeman knocked on the door right in front of us.
"Come in."
The young policeman pushed open the door and entered. You and I exchanged a glance and followed closely behind.
"Xiao Liu, is there something you need?"
"Something terrible has happened! The one who came in from Xinguan has bitten the Soviet soldier who was delivering food."
"Bited?!" Both veteran police officers were startled. "Where did it bite you?"
"It bit my hand."
"Hand?" The two policemen were slightly relieved when they heard it was a hand. "The hand is fine, no one will die."
“But,” the young policeman said, his face extremely grim, “he bit off the Soviet soldier’s fingers!”
"What?!" The two policemen stood up abruptly. "Take me to see this."
"good."
Now we can finally find the source of the resentment.
I have to say, this place is both secluded and soundproof; no wonder You and I searched for ages and couldn't find it.
"Where are the Soviet troops?"
"He has already been taken to the hospital."
I didn't listen to the rest of what they said.
Looking at the man in the cell, his symptoms were similar to those of the college student we had discovered earlier.
"Is this another juvenile?"
"Um."
It seems that the resentment in the human world is still in its infancy and does not yet know how to control it.
I remember them saying that the resentment of those possessing gods and demons is not like this at all; it not only changes a person's temperament but also gives them their own wisdom.
After the police officers, including You, left, we finally released our resentment.
Black resentment seeped from the man's chest cavity, and I took out the magical artifact bestowed upon me by the deity.
The black fire poker barely touched the resentment, and the resentment let out a series of piercing screams before turning into a wisp of black smoke and dissipating into the air.
I put away the fire poker in surprise and stared at it for a long time. "You, the magic weapon given by the God is really useful."
You glanced at the fire poker in my hand, her eyes flashing slightly, and said, "This thing should be specifically designed to suppress resentment. I think it comes from the same place as resentment."
"Is this also something from beyond the mortal realm?" I exclaimed in amazement.
If things continue like this, won't we need alien creatures in the future? Will fantasy become science fiction?
I laughed out loud when I thought about it.
"Xin'er, what are you laughing at?" You stood a few steps away from me, raising her eyebrows slightly.
"It's alright, it's alright." I waved my hand. "Let's go, there's still a lot waiting for us to deal with."
Youze pulled me along, "What's the rush?"
"Huh?" You suddenly brought her face close to mine, her hot breath hitting my face. The small space made me feel a little hot.
"Since we have this opportunity, shall we do something else?" You's eyes gleamed slightly, and her peach-blossom lips parted to tempt me.
"What...what should I do?" I stammered, my face flushed.
A smile played on her lips as her icy fingers traced across my chin.
That touch of coldness instantly snapped me back to reality.
"No, You. We must get rid of this resentment quickly, because every moment they stay in the human world means someone will die innocently."
"What does it have to do with me?" You chuckled and slowly approached me, pulling me into her arms. I could even feel her heart beating in her chest.
My heart was pounding, and a heat rose from my heart to my face, turning my fair skin bright red.
I reached out and nudged You. You's sturdy chest was surprisingly elastic. "Although it has nothing to do with us, saving one person is one less thing we can do."
"Okay." You smiled and released me with a deep chuckle.
The blush on my face slowly faded. I had just thought... I thought You was going to be here...
There's only one person detained here, but I just overheard those two police officers saying there are several others in this police station.
"Hurry, let's follow those two policemen." I quickly grabbed You's hand and chased after them.
"good."
We followed them all the way, and the two policemen got into a car and went to the hospital.
Are they going to visit the colleague they mentioned who was bitten?
With that in mind, I followed them into the hospital.
All I wanted to do was stay behind them, afraid of losing them.
A middle-aged man suddenly stood in front of me. I glanced at him, thinking it was a coincidence, and didn't pay much attention. Then I changed direction, and the man was standing in front of me again.
What does that mean? Does this person see me?
As I was guessing, the man suddenly knelt down before me and shouted, "Please, Immortal Venerable, save my life!"
I was instantly dumbfounded. I looked around, but passersby were still coming and going, and no one seemed to care about us.
Can't others see the person in front of me?
I took a closer look at the man who had stopped me.
It turns out this person isn't human either; he also exudes a faint aura of immortality, so he must be some kind of local deity or earth spirit.
I helped the man up. "What's wrong? Let's talk this out."
"Immortal Lord, please save my wife."
"Your wife? What happened to your wife?"
If this person is a celestial official, how could he not save his own wife?
Unless it is, You and I exchanged a glance, understanding each other perfectly.
“My wife is also a local minor deity, worshipped by people. But for some reason, her personality suddenly changed, and she even used magic to harm the people.”
"Take me to see this." I guessed it must be the work of resentment.
Before leaving, I glanced at the police officers inside the house and deliberately left a mark on both of them so that I could come back to find them again.
Along the way, the man told us a lot about his wife's symptoms.
Youyue and I both felt more and more that it was the work of resentment.
It seems that the world is becoming increasingly turbulent.
"Since you are the local official, do you know how many people have symptoms similar to your wife's?"
The man frowned and thought for a moment before replying, "Recently, quite a few people have suddenly gone mad. If the Immortal Venerable wishes to know, this humble immortal will naturally lead the way."
