Chen Feiguang

Lu Siye tidied up briefly. Without even time for lunch, he hastily called a Didi and headed straight for the Tianhai City Public Security Bureau.

Before even arriving, Lu Siye saw Zheng Hai through the car window, waiting anxiously at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau.

Is he specifically waiting for me? What could be so urgent? Lu Siye couldn't help but wonder.

Upon arriving at the bureau's entrance and stepping out of the car, Zheng Hai immediately spotted Lu Siye and hurried over.

"Comrade Lu, I apologize for calling you over in the middle of the day, but the situation is urgent. Please bear with us!" Zheng Hai said with a apologetic expression.

"It's fine. Ghosts usually only appear at night; we have plenty of time during the day," Lu Siye waved his hand.

"By the way, Officer Zheng, why did you call me over in such a hurry?"

"It's like this. Have you been following the recent suicide incidents in Tianhai City, Comrade Lu?"

"Officer Zheng, are you saying you called me over urgently because of this?" Lu Siye frowned. He hadn't looked into this matter much.

He only knew that all the deceased victims had landed on their feet, a very strange way to die.

Normally, from a sufficient height, the upper body's weight is greater than the lower body's.

Therefore, during a fall, most people would land on their head or upper body first. It's rare for someone to land on their feet first.

And in Tianhai City recently, there had been seven consecutive suicide incidents with the same peculiar death, landing on their feet.

"Exactly! Regarding this matter, our investigation made significant progress today.

However, the key person we've identified is currently in an extremely unstable condition, somewhat like the state of the person affected by the Mirror Ghost incident last time."

Zheng Hai lowered his voice and whispered into Lu Siye's ear.

"Mm!" Lu Siye nodded, understanding the gist of it.

The Public Security Bureau likely suspected these cases were related to ghosts but couldn't confirm it, so they had invited him to verify.

"We're here!"

Not long after, Zheng Hai led Lu Siye to the door of an interrogation room at the very back of the Public Security Bureau.

Pushing open the interrogation room door, Lu Siye saw a man tied to a chair at first glance.

"Chen Feiguang's mental state is somewhat abnormal. Fearing he might self-harm, we had to restrain him for now," Zheng Hai quickly explained, seeing the confusion in Lu Siye's eyes.

Lu Siye nodded. He walked up to Chen Feiguang, pulled over a chair, sat down, and looked at the man before him.

Chen Feiguang appeared listless, his face pale, his eyes bloodshot with deep dark circles around them, looking as if he were on the verge of death.

Lu Siye focused his internal Yang energy towards his eyes and looked at Chen Feiguang.

Chen Feiguang's condition was strange. Black threads connected his head, the center of his forehead, throat, palms, soles of his feet, lower abdomen, and buttocks, extending upwards and disappearing into the void.

These were precisely the locations of the seven souls of a person.

Although the Yang energy within him wasn't abundant, it wasn't at a point where it would extinguish at any moment. The two Yang Fires on his shoulders were still present, but the Yang Fire on his head had extinguished.

The Yang Fire on the head protects the human spirit; once extinguished, it can easily lead to mental confusion and a state of being absent-minded.

Furthermore, the three Yang Fires in the body not only protect the three souls but also guard the body's Yang energy. The extinguishment of each Yang Fire causes a significant loss of the body's Yang energy.

In reality, the three Yang Fires of the human body are not easily extinguished. It's not just by shaking or turning one's head that they extinguish; only when a person experiences fear or other strong emotions does the Yang Fire become unstable, making it easier to extinguish.

The ancestors of the Town Demon Suppression Division believed that the human body's Yang energy is the source power extending from the seven souls, referring to the seven souls as Yang Souls. Conversely, Yin energy is the source power extending from the seven souls of a ghost; they referred to the seven souls of ghosts as Yin Souls.

They also believed that Yin and Yang are the foundation of this world. All things in the world are divided into Yin and Yang, and they transform into each other, forming the world.

Therefore, Yang energy and Yin energy can also be converted into each other to some extent.

This is also why ghosts often try to frighten people before killing them. The primary goal is to extinguish the body's three Yang Fires, allowing them to absorb more source Yang energy and convert it into source Yin energy to strengthen their own Yin Souls.

The stronger their Yin Souls, the greater their control and capacity for Yin energy, and naturally, the stronger the ghost.

Based on this, Chen Feiguang seemed to have been subjected to some curse or fright.

However, Lu Siye didn't detect any Yin energy on him, indicating he hadn't been in contact with a ghost recently.

Lu Siye activated the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill. Waves of hot Yang energy surged from his pores. He reached out towards the black threads on Chen Feiguang, intending to grab them, but his hand passed right through.

Can't touch it! Lu Siye withdrew his hand and stroked his chin.

After a moment of thought, he moved behind Chen Feiguang and placed his hand gently on his head.

As soon as his hand touched Chen Feiguang's head, the man became agitated.

He suddenly threw his head back, his bloodshot eyes staring blankly at Lu Siye, and he roared incoherently.

"It's useless... death... we'll all die... humans can't defeat them..."

Lu Siye ignored his words, grabbed the man's head with his large hands.

He circulated his cultivation technique, and Yang energy erupted from his pores, flowing into Chen Feiguang's body through his pores.

Puff!

A few seconds later, the Yang Fire on Chen Feiguang's head reignited. His cloudy, numb eyes instantly cleared.

Lu Siye withdrew his hands, retracting the dispersed Yang energy back into his body. The temperature in the interrogation room returned to normal.

"Alright, he's temporarily fine. However, there are traces of a ghost on him. I need all the information regarding this matter," Lu Siye said to Zheng Hai as he walked towards the door.

"Okay, I'll get it ready right away." Zheng Hai nodded, then opened the interrogation room door and walked out.

Just as Lu Siye was about to leave too, Chen Feiguang called out to him from behind.

"Are you the one who specializes in dealing with that kind of thing?"

"If by 'that kind of thing' you mean ghosts, then yes, I am." Lu Siye nodded.

Upon hearing the word 'ghost,' Chen Feiguang's pupils contracted, but he quickly broke into a relieved smile.

"Thank you!" Chen Feiguang murmured.

"You're welcome!" Lu Siye replied with a smile.

Although the other person had only murmured, with his current cultivation power, the volume was no different from speaking loudly right next to his ear.

The Public Security Bureau was very efficient, and soon all the information regarding the jumping incidents was presented to Lu Siye.

There were a total of 7 victims, and 7 sets of documents, forming a thick stack.

Led by Zheng Hai, Lu Siye carried the pile of documents to the Public Security Bureau's cafeteria, where he began reviewing them while eating.

Lu Siye casually picked up the first document and started reading, looking at the victim's information.

Deceased: Wang Yi, male, 25 years old, died on July 15th...

July 15th, wasn't that the day the Takeout Ghost visited?

Was it a coincidence?

Lu Siye looked at Wang Yi's photo from when he was alive and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

He continued reading, but it wasn't until he saw the crime scene photos of the deceased that he suddenly realized why he felt a sense of familiarity with Wang Yi.

Because the face of Wang Yi after death was the same middle-aged man who had almost hit him outside Tongjiang Residential Complex.

Wang Yi's appearance in life and after death seemed to differ by more than ten years.

The information on the next few victims also showed the same phenomenon.

This matter was indeed not as simple as it seemed. From the statements of the victims' friends and family, it was learned that:

All the deceased had come into a windfall before their deaths, and they had all mentioned things like "money to claim life," "money to buy life," and "invisible stalkers" before they died.

All of this pointed in one direction: supernatural entities.

And if nothing unexpected happened, Chen Feiguang would be the eighth victim.

Because four days ago, Chen Feiguang's account had also inexplicably received a sum of money.
