Xu Yang was taken aback.

There was no doubt that he had already saved the Painted Ghost, as the system prompt wouldn’t lie!

But why would another murder happen?

Xu Yang hurriedly got up, washed up and left the house.

“My lord, aren’t you going to eat breakfast?”

Seeing this, Yue Yukio asked.

“I won’t eat, I have something urgent to do, so I need to go out.”

After leaving the house and entering the garage, Xu Yang started his Biyadi “Song” car, and only then did he find out… his eyes had somehow recovered! The stabbing pain in his eyes was gone, and the blurriness in his vision disappeared, replaced by brightness!

“My eyesight seems to have improved!”

Xu Yang rubbed his eyes and looked out the car window at the distance, only to feel that the world’s colors were more vivid, as if everything he saw before had changed!

He instinctively looked at the system attribute panel, and noticed that “Heavenly Eye Skill” had quietly appeared next to the Dao skills column.

Xu Yang showed a look of joy, then stepped on the accelerator and left the garage, quickly arriving at the “crime scene.”

The “crime scene” was located to the east of Wu City, near the high-speed rail station in a greenbelt area.

The victims were a young couple, living in a neighborhood not far away.

When Xu Yang arrived, the area around the corpses had been cordoned off, and many people were gathered outside. The families of the two victims had arrived, crying and wailing.

Just as he got off the car, the Supernatural Affairs Bureau arrived.

Feng Zhaoqing walked briskly, followed by Bai Wei and Wang Lin, and quickly approached Xu Yang.

“Master Xu!”

“Master Xu…”

After greeting him, Feng Zhaoqing asked right away: “Master Xu, you just mentioned on the phone… that the Painted Ghost is already dead?” “Yes!”

Xu Yang nodded and said, “I encountered the Painted Ghost while drinking with my friend last night after leaving the crime scene. I personally saved it. I suspect if there could be another Painted Ghost in our Wu City since they’re so rare.”

“I got in touch with you as soon as I received the call from the police. I’m not sure about the specific situation yet.”

Feng Zhaoqing said, “According to the police, the condition of the victims is the same as the previous four cases, with their faces peeled off, so I thought it was the Painted Ghost who committed the crime. Let’s go and have a look at the corpses!”

Ordinary policemen did not know about the Supernatural Affairs Bureau or even its existence.

Wang Lin stepped forward and showed his credentials, and only then were they allowed inside the cordon.

As soon as they entered the cordon, a man in his forties approached and said, “Mr. Wang, you’re here?”

He was the captain of the city’s Criminal Investigation Division and had worked with the Supernatural Affairs Bureau on several cases. Wang Lin was always in charge, but he only knew that Wang Lin belonged to a special national department responsible for “supernatural phenomena” cases, and didn’t know the specifics.

After a brief conversation, Captain Chen began to introduce the case.

“The victims are a man and a woman. The man is Gao Mingyi, 27 years old, working at the People’s Hospital, and the woman is Wang Xiaoou, 25 years old, a nurse at the hospital.”

“The two were in a relationship, and they had just gotten engaged seven days ago. The girl’s family lives in the residential area across the street, and the man bought a house nearby as their wedding house…”

Wu City People’s Hospital was located on the east side of the city, less than two kilometers from here. It was convenient to buy a house nearby for commuting to and from work.

As they spoke, Xu Yang had already lifted the white cloth covering the bodies.

The faces of the two corpses were bloody, and there was a lot of blood on the ground. It was a gruesome sight.

Xu Yang scanned the bodies, his eyes slightly narrowing, and immediately pulled open the victims’ clothes to have a look.

Seeing Bai Wei examining the bodies, Xu Yang asked, “What’s your take on this?”

Bai Wei had a more detailed observation than Xu Yang. She had joined the Supernatural Affairs Bureau for a short time, but had seen many cases and had studied forensic medicine. She quickly judged: “It can basically be ruled out that this is not the same murderer as in the previous Painted Ghost killings.” She paused and then continued, “Whether this is a bizarre case needs further investigation.”

“Correct.”

Xu Yang nodded and said, “Your judgment is similar to mine… The injuries on the corpses’ faces are far from smooth, and there’s no look of joy in their eyes, which does not match the characteristics of the Painted Ghost.”

He looked around and saw no Yin energy floating, was about to give up when he suddenly had a thought: “Since the Heavenly Eye Skill has appeared on the system attribute panel, does that mean I have entered the first stage of the Heavenly Eye Skill?”

He circulated his mana, trying to open the “Heavenly Eye.”

Deep in his eyes, a golden light flickered…

However, he saw nothing.

Xu Yang was not disappointed.

The Heavenly Eye Skill, known as one of the hardest Dao skills to cultivate, was certainly not something you could flawlessly achieve from the moment you entered its realm.

With a thought, Xu Yang tapped a small ” + ” sign next to the “Heavenly Eye Skill

“Ding!”

“Merit points – 1,000, Heavenly Eye Skill +1.”

Following the system prompt, Xu Yang felt a hot force entering his eyes. Then, a layer of fire spread over his eyes!

Yes!

Fire was shooting from his eyes!

The difficulty of cultivating the Heavenly Eye Skill lay in the fact that the eyes are too fragile, making it easy to cause permanent blindness when striking the acupoints and meridians. However, even after completing this step, one still needs to undergo “fire refinement.”

Here, fire refinement meant that one cultivates the eyes with their own Dao charm.

As fire shot out from his eyes, a burning pain arose. Xu Yang couldn’t help but let out a low moan.

His moan caught the attention of Feng Zhaoqing, Wang Lin, Bai Wei, and the policemen, who stared at him in disbelief. Wang Lin even said, “Xu… Master Xu, your eyes are on fire!”

He was about to grab a bottle of water from the car to put out the fire.

Xu Yang gritted his teeth and said, “It’s fine, my eyes have just gotten better

and are a bit overheated, but it’s not a big deal.”

11 11

The people at the scene fell silent.

Fiery eyes…

You call this fiery eyes?

It lasted for about a minute. When the fiery light in Xu Yang’s eyes disappeared, he made a move in his mind—

“Ding!”

“Merit Points -1000, Heavenly Eye Skill +1.”

“Ding!”

“Merit Points -1000, Heavenly Eye Skill +1.”

“Ding…”

Xu Yang gritted his teeth, spending another 5000 merit points to improve his Heavenly Eye Skill 5 times in one breath.

This time, the burning sensation in his eyes was even more intense, and within the eyeballs, there seemed to be a force wanting to erupt…

Whoosh!

From his eyes, two flames burst out, falling directly on a nearby pine tree used for landscaping. The pine tree was ignited and immediately caught fire.

Everyone: “…”

Enduring the pain, Xu Yang awkwardly said, “Sorry, sorry, the fire was a bit too big…”

This time, the fire in his eyes lasted for a full three minutes.

Xu Yang had a faint feeling as if some barrier within his eyeballs was opened… a strange sensation flooded his mind, and he activated his “Heavenly Eye Skill” again. In his pupils, there was a dim flash of golden light, and the world before him seemed to have subtly changed.

He looked at Feng Zhaoqing and saw a strong qi and blood aura around him, along with a faint will of martial arts brewing within.

He then looked at Wang Lin and Bai Wei, finding that both of them also had strong qi and blood, but it was not being displayed on the surface, instead, it was converging within their bodies. Moreover, he could even detect a a faint, barely noticeable will of martial arts on Bai Wei’s body.

“She has already begun stepping into the threshold of the Innate Realm of Martial Arts!”

Xu Yang secretly thought, and then looked at the two corpses on the ground.

There was no trace of any aura or even “qi and blood strength” on the two corpses… After all, they were already dead and had become corpses, and qi and blood strength was something that only existed in living people or living things.

When a person dies, their corpse turns cold, and there’s no qi and blood left, only the soul, either entering the Underworld Palace or remaining in the world transforming into a wandering ghost!

“No Yin energy?”

Could it really be that this case is not a supernatural one?”

Xu Yang was stunned.

He began to look around.

At this glance, he noticed… among the onlookers, there was a young man with a layer of blood light on his body!

He was an ordinary person.

It was impossible for the power of qi and blood to manifest externally.

Moreover, that layer of blood light was not the same as the “qi and blood” on

Feng Zhaoqing’s body, but instead, it was filled with a sinister and eerie atmosphere.

Xu Yang closed his “Heavenly Eye” and looked at the young man again.

He saw the young man blend into the crowd, seemingly watching the commotion.

When the young man realized that Xu Yang was looking at him, he nervously averted his gaze, pretending to answer the phone. He then turned around towards the opposite side of the road!

Xu Yang suddenly recalled a TV show he had seen…

Some criminals like to return to the crime scene to take a look.

This was explained in psychology.

First, returning to the crime scene enables close observation of how the police handle the situation, checking where the criminal can take precautions to better avoid being caught.

Second, seeing if there are any other loopholes in the police’s handling of the case, so that they can be more perfect in committing the crime next time, and, if possible, they would also like to check for any forgotten evidence or retrieve any items left behind.

Most importantly, the third point was…

Admiring the crime scene!

Just like a painter, after finishing a painting, they can’t help but take it out for admiration.

Xu Yang called out tentatively, “You, stop!”

The young person panicked.

He broke into a run!

“Catch him!”

Xu Yang looked at Wang Lin nearby, who had already sprung into action. Wang Lin had entered the fourth level of the Body Refining Martial Path – “bone training” realm and could barely considered as a small expert. In an instant, he caught up to the young man, overpowering him effortlessly.

“Let go of me!”

“What are you doing?”

The young man was in his mid-twenties, quite handsome, and struggled frantically while shouting, “On what grounds are you arresting me without cause?”

His voice attracted the attention of the family members of the deceased.

Seeing the young man, the mother of the deceased girl suddenly became teary- eyed and shouted, “Xiao Xue, is it you? Did you harm Xiaoou? You have threatened to kill Xiaoou and Xiao Gao before; was it really you who did it?”

The young man didn’t say a word.

The girl’s mother became hysterical, hitting the young man, and asked hoarsely, “You bastard, Xiaoou loved you so much, how could you harm her?” Hearing this, the originally struggling young man sneered coldly.

“Love me?”

“Pah!”

He became somewhat hysteric, with a ferocious expression, “If she loved me, why did she get engaged to someone else?”

“Is it because I’m from the countryside and can’t afford the 380,000 dowry or buy a house? So, you want to break us up and end the four-year relationship between Xiaoou and me?”
