Chapter 084: World Four [6-1]
Ling Yilin spent some time reorganizing the energy in her body to prevent an accident like the one just now from happening again.
Ling Yilin really disliked the feeling of her power being out of control. A power that could not be tamed, she would directly choose to discard it, rather than keeping it to become a hidden danger.
Ling Yilin’s strength had actually almost recovered when she left the last world. The core energy she had obtained in this world had all been used by her to enhance her own strength.
However, from the looks of it now, the speed at which she was devouring power seemed to be a bit too fast, causing her to have a little indigestion.
【Master actually doesn’t need to be in a hurry. In a world with spiritual energy, the lifespan of a cultivator is very long. And this time, you have replaced a member of the demon race, Master. You can totally stay in this world for five hundred or a thousand years before leaving.】
“If it’s a long-term closed-door cultivation, why not go to a high-level plane?” Ling Yilin asked. “In the Dharma-ending Age, the Golden Core stage is already a powerful great power. But in a high-level cultivation world, the Golden Core stage can only be a king in a small county.”
【If you want to go to a high-level cultivation plane, Master, it’s not impossible. You can just find a demonic cultivator and possess them. Although the world consciousness there is strong, it can’t stand the fact that there are too many cultivators who are fighting against the heavens. The world consciousness simply can’t split itself.】
【Does Master need me to pick a more chaotic world? That way, it will be convenient for you to fish in troubled waters.】
“I will go, but not now. I have more important things to do,” Ling Yilin said.
She had just eaten a little too much energy, and her body was having indigestion. This was not a small problem.
Before going to a high-level plane to further improve, Ling Yilin planned to properly temper her own body, preferably to the point where she could use her body to withstand the guardian’s attack.
Xiao Qi was about to speak but hesitated. After a brief silence, it still couldn’t help but speak. 【Master, the guardian’s full-power strike can even shatter a low-level plane. Are you sure you can temper your body to that extent?】
“Shatter a low-level plane?” Ling Yilin’s eyebrow twitched slightly. “That’s a good idea. Pay more attention to the layout of the planes when you have time. Those fragile small worlds can be used as a shield when necessary.”
Ling Yilin didn’t think there was anything wrong with her idea. If the guardian were to fight with her, at least one of them had to die.
If she still couldn’t defeat the guardian head-on after a period of development, she would have to use the terrain to weaken the other’s strength and increase her own chances of winning in a disguised form, to avoid becoming the one who died.

In the three days that Ling Yilin was resting, Meng Jiuge had been working at a high intensity. She didn’t know if Ling Yilin would have any new ideas after the three-day deadline, so Meng Jiuge had to use the short three days to complete the process that would normally take three months.
The Administration, after hearing that a murderer was at large, of course, did not stand by and do nothing. After continuously questioning Sun Xue and getting some important clues, Ye Simin, who often dealt with the police, took action, bringing a series of verbal clues to the criminal police brigade of A City.
There were very few murder cases in A City, especially in a university. So as soon as the old criminal police officer heard the time and place, he immediately pulled out Sun Xue’s case file.
Sun Xue’s body was discovered by a passing classmate. Because he was too scared, he immediately took out his phone and called the police. After the police heard that a body had appeared on campus, they directly sent a criminal investigation team and a forensic doctor over.
This matter was investigated as a criminal case, but the scene was destroyed by some curious students. Plus, there was too much evidence pointing to suicide. This case was closed as a suicide under the pressure of the school.
“Uncle Liu, this is not the first time we’ve worked together. I won’t repeat the authenticity of these confessions and clues. Because the person involved is going down soon, I hope you can act as soon as possible, Uncle Liu,” Ye Simin said and pointed to the ground.
“Even if you can’t arrest Li Feng as a criminal suspect, it shouldn’t be a big problem to have him cooperate with the investigation and stay at the police station for a night, right?”
“As long as you can bring the person in, Uncle Liu, I can guarantee that after one night, he will choose to confess and be lenient,” Ye Simin said.
The person that Ye Simin called “Uncle Liu” was the captain of the criminal investigation brigade. After hearing Ye Simin’s words, he rubbed his temples with a bit of a headache.
“Give me some time. I need to check his social connections. I’ll ask him to come to the police station to cooperate with the investigation tomorrow afternoon at the latest. Is that in time?” Uncle Liu asked.
He had a love-hate relationship with the people from the Administration. He loved their ability to get clues from the mouths of the dead, but he hated that they often couldn’t control their own people. Every time there was a murder case, as they investigated, it would be related to the non-humans of the Administration.
“Sure. Just give me a call after you’ve caught the person, Uncle Liu. I can arrange for the victim to come over within an hour,” Ye Simin guaranteed.
What to do if the criminal evidence from five years ago couldn’t be found? Then let the victim and the perpetrator have a face-to-face confrontation, with the main theme being to repay grievances with grievances and grudges with grudges.
This slightly radical method was of course not thought of by Ye Simin, but was proposed by Meng Jiuge to her master and was approved through a special approval procedure.
The Administration would not necessarily help the ghosts who lingered in this world to fulfill their wishes and obsessions, but the Administration would definitely not let a murderer go unpunished.

When Li Feng received the police summons, he subconsciously became nervous. He kept recalling his recent behavior, thinking about what the police had discovered to do this.
Was it because his helping the company with false accounting was found out? Or was it because he had taken a kickback and was reported by a colleague? Or was it because the shop he had gone to for prostitution was found out, so he was implicated and had to go to the police station?
“Officer, what case do you need my cooperation with? I’ve been working at the company recently. I don’t seem to have encountered anything special,” Li Feng stabilized his emotions and asked in a roundabout way.
“You don’t need to know this. We’ll ask you then, and you’ll just say what you have to say,” the people who came to take Li Feng away were from the criminal police brigade. Compared to ordinary civil police, their aura was more intimidating.
With the criminal police’s cold face, Li Feng did not dare to ask any more. He could only constantly review his recent behavior and prepare a draft in his heart on how to argue.
But Li Feng did not have the chance to say his draft. After entering the police station, he was locked in an interrogation room with handcuffs on his hands, his freedom restricted.
Li Feng was a little flustered. Why didn’t the police ask him anything after they had brought him here? Had they forgotten about him?
Impossible. He had just been brought back. How could he be forgotten?
After thinking it over and over again many times, Li Feng finally came to a conclusion. This was a deterrent before the police interrogation. The other party wanted his psychological defense to collapse while he was waiting!
Li Feng had guessed half of the truth. The police were indeed waiting, but they were not waiting for the criminal’s mental collapse, but for Ye Simin to bring the victim over.
Generally speaking, a sufficiently righteous judicial institution was a place that ghosts could not easily enter, but Sun Xue had gotten a reliable approval. Plus, she was brought in by a public official, so she had gotten a temporary buff of permission to enter.
The one who brought Sun Xue was not Ye Simin, but Meng Jiuge. She greeted the police a little awkwardly, and then, under their gaze, took out a notebook.
Under Li Feng’s curious gaze, Meng Jiuge placed the notebook on the table, then left the interrogation room and at the same time, cut off the lights inside.
That notebook was Sun Xue’s relic, and at the same time, it was also her current place of residence after she had gotten rid of the local spirit. This notebook was the important knowledge points that Sun Xue had recorded when she was preparing for the certified public accountant exam. The two hundred pages of notes were all her hard work.
After all this was done, Meng Jiuge and the two criminal police officers sat in the surveillance room together, watching Li Feng under the infrared camera.
The disappearance of the light source in the room made Li Feng show a terrified expression. He kept looking left and right, and while pounding the table, he shouted loudly, trying to use this method to attract the attention of the outside world.
But the interrogation room was designed with soundproofing in mind when it was built. With the main door tightly closed, Li Feng’s voice could not be heard at all and would only constantly echo in the room, deepening his fear of the unknown.
Meng Jiuge sat on a chair, wearing a headset for monitoring. All that came out of it were Li Feng’s screams.
Because his range of motion was restricted, Li Feng’s struggles were very limited. He could only struggle like a fish on a chopping block.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It was my fault. I know I was wrong. Please let me go. I was possessed by a ghost at that time!”
“It wasn’t just my idea. I asked anonymously on the forum, and someone taught me this method!”
“Sun Xue! I can kill you the first time! I can kill you the second time! I’ll become a ghost even if I die! You can’t kill me!”
“Ahhh— I was wrong. I won’t dare to do it again. I’m a murderer. I’m a murderer. I deserve to die. I’m a good-for-nothing. I’m trash! I’m not a human! I’m a beast!”
Li Feng’s emotions changed again and again. In the end, with a broken voice, he told the story of how he had killed Sun Xue in detail. Not only did he tell the forum that had instigated people to do bad things, but he also confessed to a den that sold illegal drugs, and at the same time, he also confessed to his tax evasion and prostitution.
The criminal police officer who was listening was not very concerned at first, but when Li Feng mentioned the den that sold illegal drugs, his whole temperament changed in an instant. He quickly called over a group of colleagues to analyze the information that Li Feng had revealed.
“Comrade Meng, can you have Li Feng describe the information about the illegal drug den in more detail?” The deputy captain made a request to Meng Jiuge.
The deputy captain: “We suspect that this den is not just simply selling illegal drugs, but might also be a den for drug manufacturing and prostitution!”
Of course, Meng Jiuge would not refuse such a request. She immediately made a phone call and told her own senior sister about the matter. Then Ye Simin passed the message to the little fox, and had the little fox contact Sun Xue through the contract.
Meng Jiuge knew that she was currently just a little chick. If she were to go in now, she would most likely be accidentally injured by the berserk Sun Xue.
Instead of taking unnecessary risks, it was better to spend an extra minute and choose a safer and more reliable method. That way, accidents could also be avoided.
After all, a certain senior had said that she was a delicious little snack.
The facts proved that Meng Jiuge’s choice was very correct. After hearing the little fox’s report, Sun Xue’s performance was very good.
Li Feng immediately told all the information he remembered in great detail, becoming a very crucial part of the evidence chain and helping the police to connect the clues they had already found.
“Thank you very much for your help, Comrade Meng. If there are any other criminals at large, please be sure to cooperate with our criminal police team!” The captain held Meng Jiuge’s hand, his expression very excited.
With this amount of information, if it were his own people who were interrogating, even if they used three days and three nights, they probably wouldn’t have been able to get so much information.
“You’re too kind, Captain Liu. We are sister units. It’s normal to help each other,” Meng Jiuge said, trying hard to maintain her image and make herself look like a reliable and mature adult.
Captain Liu smiled and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. The young people nowadays were getting more and more capable. This little Comrade Meng had just come of age not long ago.
