Chapter 165
Ayan and Juejue had only been home for a few days when they received more detailed information about the "Beautiful Red Packet Group" case.
What I didn’t expect was that the latest case record was not sent by Officer Zheng Yi and Sister A’li.
But it is the file transmitted by Ding Ling that will be returned at an unknown time.
In front of the state machine, with countless workers conducting almost "sleepless" investigations, the preliminary situation of the beautiful red envelope group surfaced.
Because there are so many victims involved in the case, it is said that the limited corpse suturing and bone-mending masters in the country have been mobilized to put the bones back in place and restore the organs and limbs through supernatural means. In comparison, returning the soul is simply the easiest task.
As for the "group leader" who manipulated all of this behind the scenes, it is not an exaggeration to say that the crimes he committed deserve a thousand deaths.
Playing with human nature, cutting and mutilating living beings, and taking human lives are just a few of the countless crimes.
According to the report records sent by Officer Zheng Yi and Sister A-li, the "group leader" is a person with special abilities.
In Ayan's opinion, this group leader should be a Halo Person.
He obtained the program of the "red envelope group" and could invite anyone to join the group at will and trade red envelopes with each other.
But the "red envelopes" here are never transactions or receipts of money or property.
It could be an organ, it could be life, it could be something that once lost it would never come back.
If the red envelope group is a balance, and the group members who are trading stand on both ends of the balance, then the group owner is the one who controls the balance.
He makes the rules of the scale, controls the scale, and stands on one end of the scale.
In this group, the group owner is God.
Or, in other words, the group members who were inexplicably dragged into the group regarded him as a god-like existence.
What's more, the group owner himself is not an ordinary person.
He is a practitioner.
He practices his unique way, seeks immortality, and passes it down from generation to generation.
Ghost refining methods, offering sacrifices to the underworld, soul-calling banners, from the past to the present, various sinister methods have been collected, just to pursue the ultimate personal power, in order to purify ghosts in human form, transform ghosts into yin, combine yin and yang, break through the lifespan of mortals, and achieve immortality in the ghost world.
According to legend, hundreds of years ago, the master was only one step away from a breakthrough.
That great master had already cultivated and raised a powerful ghost king, but when he finally went to reap the rewards, there was no news of him, leaving behind only incomplete methods and ancient books.
Later, as the Dharma entered its final stages and spiritual energy dissipated, almost no one in this lineage could cultivate to the level of their predecessors.
Until this era, the cultivation level of the "Group Leader" has surpassed that of his master, and has recreated the insidious methods recorded in the past.
Imprisoning souls, locking up spirits, taking lives and cutting them apart, nailing lives into banners...
Coupled with the "red envelope group" that descended upon him, he was convinced that his time had come and he would be able to accomplish feats that no one before him had accomplished.
Compared to the harmony of yin and yang and the unity of man and ghost pursued by immortals of all ages, he not only wants to pursue these, but in today's era, power and wealth are also naturally to be enjoyed.
Compared to risking his life to catch ghosts, the group leader thought that this would not only dirty his hands, but also be too uncool.
All it takes is a little persuasion to get those who truly possess power and wealth to take action and hand these things over to them.
Grasp the desires and pain points of human nature.
Especially for older people who hold power, who wouldn’t want to enjoy the feeling of power for a longer period of time?
For members in the Beautiful Red Packet group, Beautiful Lady is just a code name.
Some people pursue beautiful appearance, while others pursue young organs.
Beautiful eyes, healthy face, and strong arms.
"Beauty" is just the most superficial layer of transactions in this red envelope group.
The nameless realm that Ah Yan and his companions entered at that time was the place where the group of masters used to gather yin and raise ghosts. They had not yet collected enough accumulated resentment to raise pigs and refine ghosts.
After reading the records from the investigation, Ah Yan and Jue took a deep breath.
This case file is just a simple record. According to Ding Ling, further investigation and in-depth digging will continue.
Ayan and Juejue had never expected that just a call from Lu Chen would lead to so many consequences.
The comrades who have been working overtime these days to investigate and rescue the victims have worked so hard.
"That group owner is really scary, especially the red envelope group. Even the group members will have halos around them."
Ayan and Juejue sighed with emotion.
"It seems that we are really lucky. The halo has different effects on different people. We always meet good people." Zhu Jue said slowly.
Ah Yan rested his head on Jue Jue's shoulder and said, "It's because there are still many good people in the world."
“If many halos were attached to bad people, or if people became bad because of halos, the world would have been in chaos long ago.”
"Although it's chaotic enough now." After thinking for a while, Ah Yan added.
"However, just like Professor Gao whom we met in Guangzhou, the country should know certain information and control it," she guessed.
Professor Gao, who has the "Time and Space Diary" on his head, is obviously not high enough to lead guards based on his age. Combined with some other information, this Halo Person has obviously handed himself over to the country.
A Yan exited the forum on her mobile phone, and Ding Ling sent her a link to the internal forum.
[Ayan]: Lingdang, when did you come back? Are you in charge of this case now?
When they were in Bincheng before, they couldn't contact Ding Ling. They didn't know what she was doing mysteriously. Even the special case team had to use a satellite phone to contact her.
Unexpectedly, just a few days after Ayan and Juejue returned to Ningcheng, Ding Ling came back.
[Ding Ling]: I just returned a few days ago. I am now one of the persons in charge of this case.
Ding Ling deleted and revised the text on her phone. After hesitating, she deleted the words "Sorry to trouble you again this time".
Since Ayan and Zhu Jue left right after helping and didn't interfere with subsequent matters, it means they were aloof from the matter. It's better not to mention it and just keep it in mind.
During the time that Ding Ling "disappeared", she was dealing with her own personal affairs.
Ever since she discovered the remains of the Nanyue people in Guangzhou and recovered her own memory, the desire to return to the past has been weighing on her mind.
She wanted to find the place where she and Ding Ling were.
It's just that times have changed, and the land has changed dramatically over the years.
This is no longer the road she took when she left.
But she wanted to see the deceased ghost.
Ding Ling knew that this was just a luxury, but she still wanted to go and take a look.
She didn't tell anyone why she was going there, just saying that she had some personal business to take care of.
The Xiangxi mountains were once known to be barren, full of miasma and extremely isolated, but now, wherever Ding Ling finds a way, there are tourist attractions everywhere.
Her cell phone had a signal, but Ding Ling didn't want to contact the outside world, so she only reported her safety via satellite phone.
Ding Ling remembered the place where she and Ding Ling were imprisoned. She only remembered that there were many mountains and many mountain pillars. When she left, the lush forest seemed to swallow her up and she could not reach the end.
The memory is clear, yet distant. The landforms have changed, and the rocks have moved. Ding Ling located the corpse-driving man she had seen at the beginning, and also checked the routes that the special case team had used to drive corpses from generation to generation in western Hunan.
She searched along the path where corpses had been driven away in the past, walking slowly, starting and stopping.
Ding Ling tried her best to abandon all modern means and go back to the past to find the feeling of the past.
She walked every road and every place recorded in the history, but still could not find the place where she was trapped.
Ding Ling originally planned to make one more trip before school started, but this latest satellite phone call directly disrupted her original plan.
Xiaogua told her that the person who used the "Soul Prisoner and Soul Locking Array" to harm Xie Jin was found. It was a major case, so she rushed back immediately.
It is not the evil cult of the past, but it is indeed the successor of that evil cult in later generations.
From Xiaogua, A'li, and other members of the special case team, Ding Ling learned what happened when she was not in Bincheng.
Ding Ling was not shocked or surprised that Ah Yan suddenly asked someone to get a door that could allow one to "travel through time".
That’s Ayan!
No matter what Ah Yan does, it is as he deserves.
The owner of that wooden door might be their descendant.
As for why Ah Yan and Zhu Jue left after getting the door, Ding Ling thought, that was just like their style.
She struck hard, directly dealt with the most critical link, and then disappeared as if nothing had happened, as if she had done nothing. She was used to this style of behavior.
【Ayan】：Just come back~
Looking at A Yan's message, Ding Ling couldn't help but frown.
After all, she was actually called back by A Yan.
When she went to Xiangxi, she turned on her mobile phone and found that A Yan and other friends had sent many messages asking about her.
Ding Ling did not find the place where he was from that year, but A Yan directly captured the descendant of the evil sect, the "group leader".
Perhaps, she could find past information from the group owner.
Before returning to Bincheng from Xiangxi, Ding Ling was not sure whether this return would bring any concrete answers.
I just have a feeling that the place back then might be somewhere in the Wuling Mountains.
So, she went to Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain, a world-famous attraction in Xiangxi and a wing suit flying site.
In this place known as the closest to the Gate of Heaven, Ding Ling overlooks the earth.
She thought about it and thought that if Ding Ling were still alive, she would probably blurt out, "So many people."
The barren land with few people many years ago has become a 5A scenic spot with huge crowds of people.
Ding Ling's ears were filled with the noisy sounds of horns, photos, and conversations. It seemed that only the wind flowing under the Tianmen Gate could hear her mumbling.
"Ding Ling, I'm back from your home, Songjiang Prefecture."
"The changes here are really huge. I can't find where you are."
"If you still can't find the place we were in this time, I'll come to Tianmen again next time and tell you about it."
"It's high up here and it's windy."
"The wind blows and the bells tinkle. You should be able to hear it."
"You said I was the biggest, loudest, most powerful little bell in the world."
