The sound of sirens was heard far and wide, and the entire alley was blocked. When passers-by saw this situation, they immediately stopped here, cast their eyes here, and talked about it.
"What happened here? Is someone dead?"
"I'm not sure, maybe a body was found."
"Ah, that Sakura City is too dangerous. I haven't seen so many police officers in Hokkaido."
"Let's go quickly. A few days ago, a legal education program said that the murderer likes to stay at the scene and watch the fun."
"Let's go together, let's go together."
"......"
In the alley, Megure Twelve looked at the bustling crowd outside. For the first time, his kind eyes showed a strange color. He looked at the pale-faced Mori Jiro and asked the doctors on both sides: "Doctors, how is Detective Mori? Is there any difference compared to the last physical examination?"
"Inspector Megure, Detective Mori's physical fitness is normal, but..."
The older doctor began to speak, but he paused before continuing, "The skeleton of Detective Maori is now similar to that of an ordinary person in his sixties."
"Um?!"
Megure Twelve was stunned for a moment, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he lowered his voice and asked the doctor: "Sixty years old?! Are you sure?"
"This is just a preliminary investigation. The specific situation requires going to the hospital to take an X-ray."
The doctor shook his head and whispered, "The situation is likely to be worse than I predicted."
Hearing this, Megure Twelve's heart sank suddenly. He couldn't help but look at Mori Jiro, who was lying on the stretcher with a pale face, and sighed heavily.
Mori Jiro was his old subordinate and had worked with him for five or six years, but now he ended up like this, which really made Megure Twelve sad for him.
However, this is not the most important thing at this stage. The most important thing is the faceless man in a black cloak mentioned by Mori Jiro!
According to Mori Jiro, he ended up like this just because he passed by the faceless man. His bones have aged over the past thirty years. If he was allowed to walk among the crowd, wouldn't the entire Sakura City be... doomed?
By that time, everyone's bone age will have aged by 30 or 40 years. Although it will not cause any impact in the short term, if it continues for a long time, it will inevitably cause the social order of Japan to collapse!
Looking at the bustling crowd outside, the usually honest Megure Twelve suddenly became sharp and ordered the police officers: "Please ask all the onlookers outside to go to the hospital and check their bone age. If the bone age does not match the actual age, ask them where they have been recently!"
After that, Megure Twelve looked at Maori Jiro gently again, walked quickly to the stretcher, and said to Maori Jiro: "Morii-kun, you should have a good rest for a while. Leave the information about the faceless man you provided to me. I will definitely get rid of this monster for Sakura City."
"Megure-senpai, I..."
Maori Jiro struggled to get up, his lips trembling as if he wanted to say something, but Megure Twelve shook his head, motioning Maori Jiro to have a good rest, and continued in a gentle voice: "Just think of it as a vacation, have a good rest, haven't Miss Hime and you had some disputes recently? Have a good chat with her, don't become a bachelor again."
After saying that, Megure Twelve ignored Mori Jiro's struggle, and directly ordered the surrounding police officers to announce that Mori Jiro was given leave, and hurried towards the Metropolitan Police Department.
He must report this matter to the Superintendent of Police and ask the Superintendent of Police to order him to take the people back to test their bone age.
Although he is now acting first and reporting later, there is nothing he can do as the situation is urgent.
.....
"Master, these are all the ghosts I currently command. All the ghosts in Shinjuku and Nakano districts are under my command. I am planning to move towards the port district."
In an empty alley in Nakano District, the ghost in the mirror bowed respectfully to Li Jing and presented him with a list of all the ghosts he had, which made Li Jing feel a little bit novel.
Li Jing, who looked like Kyogoku Qiong, looked at the ghost in the mirror, raised his lips slightly, put away the list, and said with a smile: "In just one week, you actually know how to make a list?"
Although the ghost in the mirror has intelligence, its IQ is actually at the level of an elementary school student, and without any systematic learning, how can it understand such a "difficult operation" as making a list.
The ghost in the mirror was delighted when he heard this, and said, "Master, several ghosts under my command have gained intelligence, just like they did when they were alive. They taught me."
"Now that it has gained spiritual intelligence, it should soon be out of the realm of ghosts."
Li Jing nodded, casually praised the ghost in the mirror, and then said, "What's going on in Arakawa District? Is that thing that exudes ghostly energy so recklessly your subordinate?"
"Master, that guy came from nowhere and has eaten seven of my men. Our original plan to invade the Arakawa District was completely ruined by that guy."
The ghost in the mirror was very humble, and was very respectful and submissive to Li Jing, with an attitude of "even if you beat a dog, you have to look at its owner first".
Seeing this, Li Jing nodded slightly and said slowly: "Take your subordinates into the Arakawa area first."
The ghost in the mirror was stunned for a moment before he understood what Li Jing meant, but he still said respectfully, "Yes!"
To the ghost in the mirror, those ghosts don't matter. If the master didn't order him to integrate them, he wouldn't care about those ghosts. Even if the master lets these ghosts enter the Arakawa area to die, it's no problem.
Li Jing nodded, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by an indifferent expression.
Seeing this, the ghost in the mirror immediately said respectfully in a low voice: "Master, I will take my leave first and prepare to lead the ghost into the Arakawa area. If you have any instructions, please call me and I will rush to you as soon as possible."
"Back off."
The ghost in the mirror retreated after hearing the sound, while Li Jing stared in the direction of Arakawa District with a somewhat uncertain expression.
"I have absorbed all the previous wave of faith power, but I am still a long way from reaching the Soaring Cloud Realm."
Li Jing murmured to himself, "This newly born ghost in Arakawa District has the potential to transform into a ghost king, but unfortunately, it ends here."
Li Jing doesn't want to let a being who may become the Ghost King grow up unchecked, and the power of faith he had previously possessed has been completely absorbed. He could take this opportunity to get another wave of power of faith to assist in his cultivation.
As for enslaving the Ghost King, Li Jing is not interested in it now. Having a tool, the Ghost in the Mirror, is enough.
The power brought by external forces is always illusory like bubbles. Only when one's own strength is strong can one be truly powerful.
Now, Li Jing only wants to achieve the Tengyun Realm within a year to prevent the drastic recovery of spiritual energy in the future and prevent some unknown changes that he is not aware of.
