Chapter 365: Loss of Cultivation
After finishing their breakfast, Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao strolled casually on the street.
Holding Lu Yichen's hand, Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but sigh, "That Wu Shi from the B&B just now is really infatuated! It's been a month, and he's still insisting on finding his girlfriend."
"But, unfortunately, they are not destined to be together. Judging from his face, his ideal wife hasn't even appeared yet!"
"Don't meddle too much in other people's affairs." Lu Yichen shook his head and said, "Now that the mastermind has been caught, there won't be any more disappearances here. This can be considered justice for those girls who died in vain."
Zhong Nianyao nodded, then said, "That vixen has been taken back to the special department. How do you plan to deal with him?"
"He uses the blood of young girls to cultivate, which is what we call an evil cultivator." Lu Yichen said calmly, "He has killed so many people, so he must pay them back with his life. However, we must first find out from him where the bodies of those murdered girls are."
Zhong Nianyao nodded to show her understanding.
Those girls had come here for tourism, originally with a happy heart. But now they were buried forever in this small town. If even their bodies couldn't be found, their families would be truly pitiful.
Just at this moment, Lu Yichen's phone rang. He picked up the phone. After hearing what the person on the other end of the phone said, he couldn't help but look at Zhong Nian Yao and frowned.
Zhong Nianyao was a little surprised to see Lu Yichen's eyes falling on her.
She knew without a doubt that the content of this call must be related to her.
"What's wrong?"
After Lu Yichen hung up the phone, Zhong Nianyao blinked and asked curiously, "Does it have anything to do with me?"
Lu Yichen nodded. "The vixen we caught last night confessed. Besides revealing the whereabouts of the girls' bodies, she also revealed one more thing: the last girl we caught is still alive."
"What?" Zhong Nianyao's eyes widened. "She's the girlfriend of that guy named Wu Shi from the B&B. Is she still alive?"
This was far beyond her expectations. After all, it had been a month, and the vixen had not sucked the girl's blood to improve her cultivation.
However, no matter whether this is strange or not, it is always a good thing in the end. At least it is a life.
"Where is that girl now?"
"That vixen hasn't said anything yet." A hint of coldness flashed in Lu Yichen's eyes. "He's making a request now, saying he wants to see you. If he doesn't see you, he won't say anything."
"See me?" Zhong Nianyao felt a little strange. "Are you sure he wants to see me?"
Even though she hadn't personally captured the person, the vixen was captured because of her. Now the vixen actually wanted to see her, was she trying to see what her enemy looked like?
However, in the end, Zhong Nianyao didn't refuse. After all, a life was involved. She couldn't possibly know she had the opportunity to save someone's life and then not go because of too many concerns.
Yesterday, people from the special department escorted Hu Jiu back.
Therefore, if he wanted to see Hu Jiu now, he had to go back to the imperial capital because the special department was there.
"Our trip is ruined this time." Zhong Nianyao shrugged and said with a smile, "We had planned to stay for two more days and have a good time in this small town. But plans can't keep up with changes, and now we have to go back."
"If you like, we can come back next time." Lu Yichen replied with a smile, "This place is very close to the capital, we can come anytime."
"Okay!" Zhong Nianyao nodded and said excitedly, "Let's come over and stay for a few days one weekend. There are still many places here that I haven't visited yet!"
Soon, Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao packed up their things and left the B&B.
This time, Wu Shi also left with them.
Wu Shi was no longer depressed as before, and he looked much more energetic.
He had already accepted the fact that his girlfriend was dead, but just now, someone came to inform him that his girlfriend was still alive and asked him to go with them.
Until now, he was still in a state of disbelief. He was very happy in his heart, but he was also afraid that this was just a dream.
Only when he got on the car leaving the town did he feel a sense of reality.
The town was just outside the imperial capital, and they took a car and quickly returned to the imperial capital.
However, Wu Shi did not follow Lu Yichen and Zhong Nian Yao to the special department, but stayed in the designated hotel first and waited for notification.
After all, not everyone knew about the existence of the special department. Wu Shi was just an ordinary person and it was impossible for him to enter the special department.
Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao soon arrived at the interrogation room of the special department.
Standing outside the interrogation room, you can see what's going on inside through the glass.
Zhong Nianyao looked at Hu Jiu who was sitting inside, without much emotion in her eyes.
Hu Jiu had long lost his former elegance and handsomeness, and even his youthful appearance was gone. His hair had turned gray, and his face was covered with wrinkles and age spots. He looked like a man in his sixties or seventies. If it weren't for the faint familiarity between his features, one would have recognized him as Hu Jiu.
"His cultivation has been completely lost, and he can no longer maintain his youthful appearance." Lu Yichen explained calmly, "In fact, even if he doesn't do anything, he won't live much longer."
The newly captured dove didn't actually look like this. It had simply aged overnight and ended up looking like this.
The special forces had already prepared various torture methods for Hu Jiu, but in the end, none of them were used because they were afraid that Hu Jiu might be killed accidentally. If that happened, the bodies of the girls would never be found.
Zhong Nianyao's eyes flashed with understanding. "This shouldn't just be due to the loss of his cultivation, but also the backlash from his practice of evil arts! Using unorthodox methods to improve one's cultivation is inherently unacceptable to Heaven. Now that he's suffering such severe backlash, it's his own choice, and he has to bear the consequences himself."
