"It's not what you think. We really can't find any clues!" The prefect seemed to see through her thoughts and quickly explained, "We can't find any footprints near those girls. Their bodies are shriveled and the blood is gone, but we can't find any wounds. Moreover, when they left the house, not even their families noticed..."
Lu Yunxi listened for a while and frowned.
"Do you have any information about these girls?"
The prefect nodded immediately and pulled out a stack of documents from the compartment of the carriage.
She took the information and examined it carefully.
The information is very detailed, including all the experiences of the girl since she was born.
The victims ranged from wealthy families to peasant families; their personalities varied, from warm and friendly to calm and aloof; their hobbies varied, from music, chess, calligraphy, and painting to playing cards.
In short, these girls only have two things in common.
The first point is that each of them is very beautiful and is famous for their beauty in the neighborhood; the second point is that they are almost all unpopular at home, like invisible people.
In fact, if someone hadn't spotted them on the street and reported them to the authorities, who then conducted a lengthy investigation before contacting their families, their families probably wouldn't have cared about their missing daughters at all.
So, when they went out, their family members didn't notice... This is totally unbelievable!
They all treated these girls as invisible people, so why would they care about their whereabouts?
The coroner also studied it for a long time and was almost driven crazy, but he still couldn't figure it out.
Lu Yunxi looked at it for a long time, but still couldn't see much information, so he frowned.
She pondered for a long time, and suddenly remembered a small spell she had seen before.
An idea struck her, and she returned the information to the prefect: "I've finished reading it. I'm going to go to the place where they were found and take a look. If I have any information, I'll tell you."
When the prefect heard this, he felt relieved.
Although he didn't know why, he just felt that the female hero was very reliable.
"Then I'll leave it to you!" The prefect bowed deeply, then left the Lu family with the coachman.
After they left, Lu Yunxi immediately opened the scroll and took out the spell - the spell that could rewind what happened.
She had previously thought that this spell was useless, so she had put it aside. Who knew that in the end, she would still need to learn it.
After spending half an hour, Lu Yunxi finally became proficient in using this spell.
She immediately went out and went to several addresses she had written down before.
These places are all remote alleys. If you don’t live nearby, you will never pass by such places.
Standing in the narrow, mossy alley, she immediately used the new spell she had learned.
However, the scenes she saw in the flashback shocked her.
The reason these girls turned into mummies was simply because - they were deceived!
They met someone who was good at deceiving their feelings. After being deceived, all their spiritual energy was absorbed by others!
Generally speaking, when people are born, they have a trace of spiritual energy in their bodies.
But now, there is not a trace of energy left in their bodies, so naturally they can't survive.
And the person who deceived them was someone Lu Yunxi had met before - the immortal cultivator who came to Wucheng.
Changgong had seen a cultivator appear here before, and was surprised to ask her to go out and take a look at that person.
Lu Yunxi didn’t care about it at all before.
Who would have thought! In just a few days, this guy would do something like this!
Her face darkened, and her spiritual sense quickly covered the entire Wucheng, and soon she found the cultivator in a house.
At this time, he has already reached the eighth level of Qi Refining!
hehe!
Before, she thought this guy used some magic weapon!
So, he leveled up by absorbing the spiritual energy from women?!
Obviously, the aura in a mortal's body is mixed, and perhaps a person's body is only contaminated with a trace of spiritual energy in the air... but he can still do it!
Should we say that he is too cruel, or that he is too calculating!
Lu Yunxi suddenly paused.
etc!
Mortals possess such scarce spiritual energy, yet he was able to reach the eighth level of Qi Refining so quickly. Doesn't that mean he must have targeted far more people than just these few girls?!
Her face suddenly darkened and she instantly moved behind the cultivator.
With one slash of her hand, she knocked the man unconscious.
Lu Yunxi narrowed his eyes and picked the man up.
*
Government office.
The prefect was on duty and was halfway through handling his affairs when he suddenly heard a "bang".
Looking at the thing falling from the sky, he was startled and subconsciously covered his chest with his hands.
The officers nearby immediately raised their spears.
Even though they were a little frightened, they immediately surrounded the object on the ground and shouted, "What is that?!"
Looking closely, they found that the person who suddenly appeared in the government office was actually a man with a pretty handsome appearance.
The officers were shocked: "It's actually one person!"
They looked around, and from time to time they looked at the roof, wanting to know where this person came from.
The prefect's desk was clearly at the innermost part, and there was no hole in the roof.
Lu Yunxi then appeared in front of them: "It's me!"
The officers were stunned for a moment, then they frowned and shouted angrily: "Who are you?!"
When the prefect saw her, his eyes lit up and he quickly said, "Everyone, step back! I invited this lady here! She's here to help with the case!"
