Chapter 180: Decision
"Ms. Zhong, is there any problem?" Seeing Zhong Nian Yao's expression, Han Xin couldn't help but ask.
Zhong Nianyao did not answer Han Xin's words, but took out a piece of talisman paper and threw it out.
The talisman paper combusted without fire, and she kept chanting spells.
This scene stunned Han Xin and Luo Yong. Although they had invited Zhong Nianyao and acknowledged that this case was a supernatural event, this was still their first time witnessing such a supernatural phenomenon. Their shock was palpable.
After a while, the flame disappeared and Zhong Nian Yao put down her hand, but her face was still ugly.
"Ms. Zhong, what happened?" Han Xin asked again quickly.
Seeing Zhong Nianyao's expression, he couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart.
"These people's souls are gone." Zhong Nianyao's face was gloomy, and her tone was full of coldness. "This is not only a fierce ghost, but also a fierce ghost that relies on devouring the souls of living people to grow stronger."
However, she was quite surprised that the underworld hadn't taken any action against such a powerful ghost. Was it because they hadn't discovered it, or was there some other reason?
After hearing what Zhong Nianyao said, Han Xin and Luo Yong's faces changed instantly.
Although they didn't understand these paranormal cases, the idea of devouring the souls of living people was simply horrifying. No matter how you looked at it, it was a very harmful thing.
"Miss Zhong, what should we do next?" Han Xin asked directly, "If we can't catch that evil spirit, will people continue to be killed?"
"That's for sure." Zhong Nianyao nodded and continued, "Also, if I'm not mistaken, that evil spirit should be taking action soon. In other words, a new victim will appear soon."
"What?" Luo Yong thought for a moment and said, "These victims appear at very regular times. Normally, he only harms someone once every two weeks. And it hasn't even been two weeks yet!"
Zhong Nianyao glanced at Luo Yong as if he were a fool. "There was indeed a pattern before, but wasn't his most recent victim in the hospital? He didn't devour the soul of the driver at all. And, the most important point is-"
Zhong Nianyao paused, a cold glint in her eyes. "That evil spirit must have been injured by that talisman. If he wants to heal, the fastest way is to devour the souls of living people again. Besides, I'm worried that he might go on a killing spree."
After hearing what Zhong Nian Yao said, Han Xin and Luo Yong were horrified.
"I'll notify the higher-ups right away," Han Xin said with a serious expression, "and have them send someone who can handle this type of case down here as soon as possible."
"It's too late." Zhong Nianyao shook her head. "Tonight, let's go directly to the crime scene on Huanshan Road and take a look!"
"What? Going there tonight?" Luo Yong shuddered. "But if we rush over like this, wouldn't we be throwing our heads away?"
"What are you afraid of?" Han Yong reached out and patted Luo Yong on the head. "You're a police officer, what do you have to be afraid of? But, Miss Zhong, there's one thing I don't quite understand."
"All the cases happened on Huanshan Road, and the location has never changed. We police have set up surveillance day and night, but there has been no movement. Moreover, our officers often go there to investigate at night, and no one has ever been in trouble. Why is this?"
This was also the reason why they had never considered this a supernatural case. During all their investigations, nothing strange had happened.
So, all along, they attributed the murderer to a psychopath.
"Because you are police officers!" Zhong Nianyao explained calmly, "Although he is a fierce ghost, ghosts have always avoided police officers since ancient times. This is because the evil spirits in you are very strong. Those ghosts will not confront the police unless it is necessary."
"It seems that our identity as police officers is quite useful." Luo Yong couldn't help but sigh.
"Stop talking nonsense." Zhong Nianyao said, "I'll go there alone tonight. You guys just hide in the dark and don't show up."
"No." Han Xin rejected the offer directly. "Ms. Zhong, we are already very grateful that you can help us find out so many things. As for the rest, that is our duty as police officers and has nothing to do with you. You can go home first."
"Oh?" Zhong Nianyao raised her eyebrows, somewhat surprised. "I thought you called me here just to resolve this matter?"
"Ms. Zhong, we're already very grateful for the useful information you've given us," Han Xin shook his head. "Your help is more than enough. This case is far too dangerous, and you really shouldn't be involved."
At the beginning, he really wanted Zhong Nianyao to help him, but after realizing the danger of the case, he changed his mind.
He didn't know how capable Zhong Nianyao was, but she was too young. He really couldn't let such a young girl be the bait alone.
Moreover, if Zhong Nian Yao really encounters any accident because of this incident, it will definitely cause an uproar.
"I've already made up my mind about this matter." Zhong Nianyao said calmly, "Besides, even if you don't agree, I will go by myself."
She could probably see what Han Xin was thinking, but she wouldn't change her mind.
Firstly, this evil spirit is extremely dangerous. If it is not captured early, the consequences will be disastrous. By then, I am afraid that more people will die.
Secondly, capturing this evil spirit would be a great deed for her. Why not do it?
Han Xin still strongly disagreed, but in the end he had no way to convince Zhong Nian Yao to give up, so he had no choice but to agree.
However, he secretly vowed in his heart that if anything really happened, he would do his best to protect Zhong Nianyao. After all, it was he who dragged her into such danger. So no matter what, he would protect Zhong Nianyao. Even if it cost him his life, he would never regret it.
At night, at a secluded bend in the mountain road, a figure walked along. It was a young girl, dressed in ordinary clothes. But this ordinary figure, on this dark and quiet road, stood out.
