Chapter 422: No progress
"My poor child, tell me who has caused you to be like this?"
"Will you tell my mother? My mother will definitely avenge you!"
If this sorrow is not avenged, I am afraid their souls will never have peace in this life.
The culprit who killed these children must die so that we can commemorate the souls of these children.
Only then can the pain of the people who have lost their children be slightly alleviated.
Lu Zhiheng coughed up blood again.
But he had no time to care about himself. Instead, he looked at Su Tan and asked, "Is there any way to catch the murderer?"
He always felt hatred in his heart.
If he is the murderer, he will not be apprehended.
If those who killed these children do not receive the punishment they deserve, let alone the suffering of these people, it will be impossible to alleviate their suffering.
Even Lu Zhiheng himself.
I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep the whole night.
Where is justice in this vast world?
Su Tan didn't answer.
There was no answer.
She just said, “I don’t know.”
"Your Highness, please don't ask me now. I'm very tired."
Doing these things today seemed to have drained all her energy.
Su Tan no longer had the strength to speak.
It was as if all her energy had been drained away in an instant.
The reason why people are still standing here is just to hold on.
Su Tan was first a human being, and then a mystic.
Since she is a human being, it is impossible for her to remain indifferent after witnessing such a tragedy.
She hated her own incompetence even more. She hated herself for having seen such a cruel truth, but still being unable to find the real culprit behind all this.
She hated herself even more for marrying Song Tingchen and having children with him, and for sacrificing half of her cultivation just to make Song Xiao healthy.
If she had not done those useless things at that time, perhaps her cultivation would have been very advanced by now.
For her, finding out the truth was as easy as a flick of her hands.
But now she is so useless that she can't find out anything.
She could only place all her hopes on the children of those who were taken care of, just like the other people.
Go and ask those children if they have seen what the murderer looks like.
But Su Tan and the people were destined to be disappointed because the group of children shook their heads.
The crying was painful and choked.
"We don't know..."
"All we knew was that we suddenly passed out and all we could feel was the pain in our bodies."
"We really want to open our eyes, but we can't."
Yes, they can't even do something as small as opening their eyes.
Not to mention, escape and resist.
"We just felt pain in our bodies, and then we passed out again. When we woke up, we were already dead."
To be precise, when they woke up, their bodies had already been thrown into this dark place.
Their souls were imprisoned and trapped in the mass grave, making them unable to get out even though they wanted to.
This is also why even Su Tan, who is considered the most powerful mystic in the world, cannot figure out what the people who killed these children look like.
Because even the children themselves have never seen the murderer who killed them.
They just stayed at home, went out with their parents, played with their friends, or even lay in bed and slept.
Suddenly he fainted.
Apart from the severe pain in my body, I couldn't feel anything.
By the time they regained consciousness, they were already dead.
To be precise, he has become a wandering ghost.
Even their souls are trapped here.
Their bodies are deformed, their movements are restricted, and they cannot even be reincarnated.
Because these children all died an untimely death.
People who die suddenly have to wait until their life span is over before they are eligible for reincarnation.
The people widened their eyes in shock, staring blankly in the direction where the children were standing.
Their breathing even became a little more difficult.
"Why……"
An old lady asked with difficulty, "Why don't they know it themselves? Who is the murderer who killed them..."
But if even the child himself doesn’t know who the murderer is, then why is the other party so powerful?
Could it be that—the villagers shuddered, their eyes filled with hatred.
"Could it really be those so-called wolf demons causing trouble?"
Could it really be a wolf demon that eats people?
But that's not right!
Even if the people were stupid, they found something unreasonable at this moment.
"If it's true that wolf demons eat people, then why don't they eat the children of the capital city? Instead, they run to remote places!"
Could it be that these wolf demons like to run thousands of miles away to kidnap children, eat them, and then throw them into such mass graves?
This doesn't make sense!
This doesn't make sense in any way!
Everyone gritted their teeth.
Su Tan sighed.
She naturally knew that this was not common sense.
This time, it seemed that the culprit was just randomly kidnapping children.
The ages of these children range greatly.
The youngest is only two or three years old.
The oldest one is seven years old.
It’s not like the beautiful women who disappeared before, those girls were all born on the yin month, yin day and yin hour.
The missing children this time have nothing in common except that they are all between two or three years old and seven years old, and are all girls.
Even the people who lost their children.
They also came from all over the place.
Many people didn't know each other before.
Lu Zhiheng's expression became more and more tense.
Even if he was not handling cases in the Dali Temple, he knew that such matters were the most difficult.
Because there is nothing in common, whether the evildoer is a human or a ghost, it seems like they are doing evil randomly.
The incident had already caused great panic in the capital.
But I don’t know what went wrong.
Fortunately, despite the great panic, no children of similar age have gone missing in the capital.
Those who flocked to the capital were all people from other places.
This is probably the only strange thing about this case.
Lu Zhiheng frowned tightly.
"There are missing children everywhere, but there are none from the capital."
"Could it be that there is something in the capital, or someone, that makes the evildoer very fearful?"
Lu Zhiheng's brows knitted tightly together. He tried to calm himself down and try to find out what he had overlooked.
