Qing instinctively turned to look at Su Yunfan, but before she could even turn her head, Liao Gang grabbed her arm and dragged her away.
Don't look back.
Qingyi: ...
If I don't turn back, how will I see anything?!
Liao Gang said, "Don't you people of the Xuanmen sect have any way to distinguish evil spirits? I always feel that the child is very evil and abnormal."
Upon hearing this, Qingyi frowned and thought for a moment, "There is indeed a way."
As he spoke, he pulled a compass and a talisman from his tattered, patched pocket.
The talisman was held between the fingertips and gently shaken.
The talisman burned, and its ashes fell onto the compass, causing the pointer to spin wildly.
It was like a seizure, moving at an extremely fast speed, and it didn't stop for a long time, leaving Liao Gang speechless.
"Master, is your compass... broken?" After waiting for about a minute, the needle still wouldn't stop, and Liao Gang finally voiced his doubts.
Qingyi: ...
His eyes were practically turning into beady pupils from staring so intently, and he still couldn't quite figure out what was going on with his compass.
This compass was given to him by his master; it was a ritual implement, and he had used it for decades without ever making a mistake.
His master had told him that there were two possibilities for the compass malfunctioning.
One possibility is that the compass is broken; another is that there are supernatural entities at the scene that far exceed the compass's measurement limits.
If it were the latter, then he wouldn't be completely unaware of any yin energy.
Could it be that the compass is really broken?
Qing frowned, raised her hand and patted the compass in her hand, somewhat embarrassed, "It's probably broken. After all, it's an old item that's been used for decades, so it's normal for it to break down."
Liao Gang: ...
And you let me down at such a crucial moment?!
But what could be done? He was the only Taoist master present.
If I had known, I would have shamelessly tricked that girl into coming here.
But it's too late to say anything now!
Seeing Liao Gang's pale face, Qing Yi stroked his beard and reassured him guiltily, "Don't worry, although the compass is broken, I observe that the police station is clean and upright. Even if some evil spirits invade this place, they won't cause any trouble!"
Liao Gang felt that the old Taoist priest was somewhat unreliable, but there was no better way at the moment, so he could only trust him for the time being.
Liao Gang turned around and waved to Su Yunfan, who was standing obediently in the corridor, indicating that he should come in with him.
Unbeknownst to them, a hint of sarcasm flashed in Su Yunfan's lowered eyes.
An old Taoist priest with little skill dares to show off his limited abilities in front of him; he's practically asking for death!
He remained calm and followed Liao Gang into the forensic autopsy room.
In the autopsy room, the female forensic doctor had already pieced together Su Yunfan's scattered body parts and was examining them.
Seeing Liao Gang bring his team in, the forensic doctor frowned. "Captain Liao, why did you bring a child?"
"He's the deceased's brother. He said he wanted to come and send the deceased off on his final journey," Liao Gang explained, glancing around but not seeing the vengeful boy he had seen earlier in the strawberry greenhouse.
Is he not here, or has the little girl's ability to see ghosts failed?
The female forensic doctor glanced at the seemingly refined and handsome young man, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
Wasn't it said that the deceased was most likely murdered by his biological parents, and the root cause was that his parents favored the adopted child? Why did Captain Liao bring him here?
Ignoring the female forensic doctor's confusion, Liao Gang reached out and pushed Su Yunfan, "Go, you only have ten minutes."
Su Yunfan was pushed forward two steps, a gloomy look flashing across his lowered eyes. He pursed his lips, lightly rubbed his fingers together, but ultimately said nothing. He then walked to the dissection table.
He glanced at the female forensic doctor with just one look, and the doctor, who was used to seeing all kinds of horrific deaths and could be described as extremely bold and reckless, couldn't help but take a step back.
She was actually frightened by the look in a boy's eyes!
The female forensic pathologist's heart pounded wildly.
By the time she wanted to confirm again, Su Yunfan had already looked away, staring intently at the mangled corpse on the autopsy table.
From her perspective, she seemed to see a smile on Su Yunfan's lips.
It's faint, yet it's sinister.
It also seems too cold and indifferent.
Then, the boy reached out his hand.
When his hand touched the corpse, it trembled slightly, as if he hesitated or was afraid. After a moment of hesitation, it landed on the hand that was about the same size as his own, but was bluish-white, covered in mud, and mostly rotten.
From an angle unseen by Liao Gang and the forensic doctor, as Su Yunfan trembled, the black wooden plaque he held in his hand in the interrogation room slipped from his sleeve and was held in his palm, pressed tightly against Su Zimu's hand.
The moment the black wooden plaque was affixed to Su Zimu's hand, a large amount of black energy surged wildly into the corpse.
The originally scattered pieces of corpse were bound together by the black mist and became a complete corpse.
The already cold dissection room instantly turned as cold as an ice cave.
Liao Gang immediately sensed something was wrong, his expression changed drastically, he drew his gun, cocked it, and pointed it at Su Yunfan, demanding, "What did you do?"
Su Yunfan turned his head and slowly raised his eyes.
The boy's once calm eyes were now filled with madness and resentment, and even his originally handsome face became distorted!
"Officer, haven't you always wanted to arrest me?" Su Yunfan's voice also became strange, as if reverberation had been added.
Hidden within the original boyish voice was a cold, sinister voice, indistinguishable between male and female.
Liao Gang's intuition told him that Su Yunfan harbored a monster they couldn't deal with.
He grabbed the female forensic doctor's arm and tried to drag her out of the autopsy room.
Qingyi took out a talisman and quickly threw it at Su Yunfan, then made a hand seal and released a burst of spiritual energy.
Regardless of whether the talisman had harmed the other party, he turned around and ran out after Liao Gang.
Behind him, Su Yunfan caught the talisman Qing Yi threw at him with his bare hands, crumpled it into a ball with a sinister grin, and threw it at his feet.
With a wave of his hand, the door to the dissection room slammed shut and locked.
Liao Gang tried to open it, pulling and kicking, but the door didn't budge.
The female forensic doctor stood behind him, trembling with fear. "Captain Liao, the door to the autopsy room is specially made; you can't open it with brute force."
Liao Gang: "Then what should we do?"
Qingyi stepped forward and said, "Let me try."
As he spoke, he took out a talisman.
Over there, Su Zimu's body was linked together by black energy, and he sat up from the dissection table, standing beside Su Yunfan like a puppet, bowing and scraping.
"Go, kill them all!" Su Yunfan pointed at Liao Gang and the other two.
Su Zimu let out a strange shriek and charged towards Liao Gang and the others.
He was very fast, arriving in front of Liao Gang and the others almost in the blink of an eye, and reached out to grab the weakest of the three, the female forensic doctor.
Liao Gang gritted his teeth, pulled the female forensic doctor behind him, and raised his arm to block Su Zimu's hand.
Just as Su Zimu was about to touch him, a golden light suddenly exploded, forming a barrier that blocked Su Zimu's attack and sent him flying, crashing into the dissection room bed.
Seeing the sudden appearance of the golden light, Su Yunfan tilted his head slightly. "Huh~ I didn't expect that someone could actually draw a Heavenly Grade Protective Talisman?"
