Little Pretense in Front of Me

This made Fang Muzi very depressed.

"Hmph, even if you have the ability, so what? How can you prevent this kind of thing from happening in the first place?!"

"No, I'm going to keep stirring things up. Even just one of these serial killers would be a huge scandal. Let's see how you guys try to cover it up!!!"

He immediately unleashed the long-lost ' Phantom Butterfly Finger ' once again, crackling and popping, setting the rhythm even more frantically.

"So what if they caught you? The fact remains that they killed your entire family!"

"The dead cannot be brought back to life, so what about the deceased themselves?!"

"The Spiritual Qi Revival has a major flaw; it could potentially bring about the end of the world. Imagine if there were more people like Ma Xiaofei, what would the world be like? Would we have to live in fear and chaos every day?!"

"Oppose the Spiritual Qi Revival! Absolutely oppose it!!!"

"..."

Why are you looking at me like that?

Lin Fan noticed that the Seventh Vice Minister had been staring at him ever since Ma Xiaofei was taken into the car, which made him curious.

"Actually..."

The Seventh Vice Minister grinned and said, "I have a favor to ask."

"Please feel free to speak."

"Like handcuffs and stuff..."

The Seventh Vice Minister rubbed his hands together. "Don't be fooled by Liu Gang's light and confident words. In reality, it's just because we don't have suitable handcuffs."

"Common handcuffs certainly can't restrain cultivators, so I'd like to ask you for some advice..."

Can't be handcuffed?

Lin Fan was not surprised at all.

"That's true!"

That's why they can't be handcuffed! Ordinary handcuffs? Even a Qi Refining Stage cultivator could easily break them!

Custom-made handcuffs with increased strength? Sure!

The problem is that cultivators also become stronger! There must be a limit to the strength of handcuffs, right? Whether it's material limitations or manufacturing limitations, there are limits.

Besides, even if they can't break apart, as cultivators, surely they know something like 'bone shrinking technique'?

You can get out with ease!

Therefore, none of the handcuffs currently used on Earth, whether common or specially made, can restrain cultivators!

But we really need to get the handcuffs made.

Even if the people in the Resident Happiness Living Department are stronger than those folk cultivators, it is still necessary.

It's like the relationship between a policeman and a criminal...

They're all ordinary people, and the police even have guns!

Even if they're caught, won't they still be handcuffed?

"Understood, I'll give you a plan later."

How do you make this thing?

Lin Fan really didn't know how people in the Cultivation World controlled 'prisoners'.

Sealing the Dantian, True Essence, and divine soul power? Perhaps, but he doesn't know how to do that right now!

Besides, even if these things are sealed away, they still have physical strength, don't they?!

The stronger a cultivator is, the stronger their physical body becomes, making them a force to be reckoned with...

"Actually..."

The Seventh Vice Minister smiled again, "There's also the issue of prisons."

"We can use some specially made prisons to detain cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage and the early Foundation Establishment stage."

"At most, the cost will be higher, but we can still keep them locked up. However, according to our calculations, we will not be able to keep up cultivators who Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage or later."

"To prevent this from happening in the first place, if you have any ideas, why not teach them to us?"

"OK!"

Lin Fan nodded.

This is also a problem.

And it is also necessary...

"I'll give them to you all together later!"

This guy decided that next time he went to the Cultivation World, he would bring back some knowledge in this area.

At the same time, he also had some related guesses in his mind.

For example, prisons are mostly a combination of formations and methods to suppress the strength of those imprisoned.

otherwise...

It's really hard to keep it closed!

Especially given that not many cultivation materials have been discovered on Earth so far...

"Huh? Wait a minute!"

"Who said Earth doesn't have many materials used by cultivators?"

Lin Fan suddenly remembered something. "Come to think of it, I haven't searched carefully at all, so everything is just speculation!"

In this degenerate age, spiritual energy is depleted...

These 'attributes' made Lin Fan subconsciously feel that Earth's cultivation resources must be particularly 'scarce'.

The kind of herb that you can't find even a single one of.

But... what about things like 'spirit ore'?

Or is there none?

And what about those strange and unusual items needed for crafting weapons? Do they exist?

He didn't know!

"It seems we still need to go to the Cultivation World to get a copy of the 'Illustrated Compendium' and then ask the Resident Happiness Living Department to help us find those materials."

"Since there are so many people who can help, why not take advantage of it?"

Go find it by yourself?

Too slow!

What if they take it all for themselves?

Lin Fan guessed that the Heaven and Earth Grand Deduction Art should be able to easily determine whether the Resident Happiness Living Department had swallowed the materials it found and not given them to him.

If that's the case, what's there to worry about?

After chatting for more than ten minutes.

Ma Xiaofei was taken back to Green Mountain Town, and the interrogation began!

Meanwhile, the other group of people, who had split into two, had also arrived at the Small Village and begun their investigation, both overt and covert...

The two live streams are running simultaneously.

At first, there were naturally more people watching Ma Xiaofei's live stream, but now there are more people watching the live stream from the Small Village.

This is easy to understand.

They fought fiercely before, but now that Ma Xiaofei has been captured, simple interrogation... is really not very meaningful.

But live streaming in Small Village is a different story...

Isn't this just like a live-streamed crime thriller?!

While both sides were at it simultaneously, Ma Xiaofei knew he couldn't escape, so he honestly spoke up and told everything.

In the live broadcast, Ma Xiaofei's face showed both sadness and anger...

Why did you kill him?

Liu Gang sat opposite him and asked in a cold voice, "Since you have already Entering Dao at the beginning of the Spiritual Qi Revival, you should cherish your talent even more, work hard, and become a useful person in the future."

"Whether for your own sake or for the greater good of the nation, this is how it should be, but you chose a dead end!"

"Yes, a dead end." Ma Xiaofei's facial muscles twitched. "I originally thought this was a way out, but I didn't expect that I overestimated myself."

"But... they deserve to die!!!"

Do you think I want this?

"Do you think I'm a murderous monster, someone who kills without blinking an eye, someone who wiped out his entire family of five in one night?!"

"No, I was kind and naive once too!"

"But it's no use! My family... they all deserve to die!"

really.

Liu Gang narrowed his eyes slightly, sighing helplessly in his heart. In fact, he had already guessed that Ma Xiaofei's actions were most likely for revenge!

While there could be other reasons, revenge is clearly the more likely explanation.

"What exactly happened?"

"Oh."

Ma Xiaofei sneered, "Aren't you the authorities? You still haven't found anything? You have to ask me about this?"

"It takes time for our people to fly there, but they've arrived now and are investigating in the Small Village. We'll have results soon."

"But you are a party involved, so your testimony is equally important."

"In addition..."

Bang!

With one slap from Liu Gang, the iron table between the two men instantly collapsed...

"Stop trying to show off in front of me! Or I'll beat you to death!"

Ma Xiaofei: "..."

"My name is Ma Xiaofei."

"Nonsense, get to the point!!!"

"..."

Ma Xiaofei confessed.

This time, he didn't beat around the bush. He spoke quickly and relatively calmly, but the words he uttered made everyone secretly alarmed!

According to Ma Xiaofei's account...

Simply put, his family was originally quite happy and harmonious. The three of them were a loving father and a filial son, and his mother was beautiful, virtuous, and thrifty. Although they lived in the countryside, they lived a comfortable life.

However, everything changed four years ago after the current Village Chief took office.

The former Village Chief was ousted, and the current Village Chief was parachuted in...

Then, somehow, most of Ma Xiaofei's land became someone else's! Yes, it changed!

Ma Xiaofei's father had been farming for over twenty years, and suddenly he became a petty thug. There were even documents claiming that he had rented the land long ago, and since the Ma family had been farming there for so many years, they should not only return the land but also compensate for the losses!

Ma Xiaofei's family panicked and, in a state of utter disarray, sought various solutions.

They don't believe it!

This land has been farmed by their family since their grandfather's generation. How could it suddenly become someone else's?

But the other party actually produced the documents, and no one can say for sure whether they are forged.

Should I go find the Village Chief?

The Village Chief actually said the document was genuine!

This left Ma Xiaofei and his family both shocked and furious...

All his theories not only failed, but he also got beaten up by the thugs.

With nowhere else to turn, Ma Xiaofei's father invited the Village Chief to dinner, hoping he could help him. It is said that he said all sorts of nice things, and the neighbors and villagers could all testify that Ma Xiaofei's family had been farming those lands for generations, and that they couldn't possibly belong to anyone else.

But it didn't work!

Call the police?

The police actually said the beating wasn't serious and told them to settle it privately!

Go to court? The court says the document is valid. Are you sure you want to go to court?

Petitioning?

Before they even left the village, they were beaten back, and Ma's father even had one of his legs broken! Should they call the police? The local police said they were aware and had opened an investigation.

But... there's still no result!

But those thugs kept urging them on.

With nowhere to turn, the whole family panicked.

It was at this moment that the Village Chief suddenly came to his house and gave him an idea, saying that it could save his family's land.

For a family of farmers, what could be more important than keeping their land?

But after the Village Chief said that...

Mr. Ma remained silent for a long, long time.

Ma Xiaofei didn't know what had happened at the time, but his mother went to the Village Chief's house early the next morning and didn't return for three days.

After returning home, my mother was constantly in tears, and my father, who had a broken leg, kept sighing.

However, those thugs never came back; it was as if they had vanished forever.

Two days later, Ma Xiaofei's mother suddenly committed suicide by drinking pesticide.

When his father found out, he wailed inconsolably, and in the middle of the night, he too drank pesticide and passed away.

Ma Xiaofei was left all alone, in great pain.
