Chapter 1 What's the Matter?

"What is it?" Zhang Yuanqing had a guess in his mind.

"A battle between Spirit Realm Hunters occurred in Fenghui District, resulting in one death and one injury. We need you to come and ask the spirit."

Li Dongze's side was noisy, as if people were arguing.

Sure enough, he knew it was spirit interrogation. The squad leader wouldn't be looking for him for support, and he couldn't help in other areas, after all, he was still a child.

"What about the Night Watchers in Fenghui District?"

The Taiyi Sect has arranged Night Watchers in every major district of Songhai. Yuan Ting is in Kangyang District.

There would naturally be one in Fenghui District as well.

"The deceased was a witch gu master, and the witch gu master's spirit body is notoriously evil and ferocious, and that witch gu master is a little different... the risk of spirit devouring is a bit high. The Night Watcher of the Taiyi Sect is unwilling to take risks and had a dispute with our colleagues in Fenghui District." Li Dongze's voice was low.

As he spoke, the noise on the other end of the phone became more intense.

The spirit body of a witch gu master? Zhang Yuanqing was overjoyed when he heard this. He had read a lot of professional information these days. If divided according to mental strength, the Night Watcher and the Illusionist ranked first, followed by the Witch Gu Master.

This could increase a lot of experience.

However, Zhang Yuanqing frowned and said, "The Taiyi Sect is also an official organization. This is within the scope of their responsibilities. Isn't anyone in charge of him?"

Even if there is a risk, but since they enjoy the benefits and treatment of the official organization, they should do their job, not just occupy a position without doing anything.

"The Taiyi Sect is different from the Five Elements Alliance. There are few Night Watchers. The elders are in the capital, and the Night Watcher captains in each major district are at the same level." Li Dongze's tone revealed helplessness.

Of course, you can complain, but you have to submit a report to the capital. Songhai has no immediate supervisor.

There will definitely be complaints later, but we have to do things first.

And because of the ferocity of the witch gu master's spirit body, the Night Watchers in other districts will not risk their lives for incidents in other people's jurisdictions.

At this time, the importance of the Five Elements Alliance's own Night Watcher became prominent.

"I'll be right there," Zhang Yuanqing said.

At this moment, he vaguely heard someone speaking through the loudspeaker: "Li Dongze, your approach is inappropriate. Although I really need spirit interrogation, he is still level 1..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and Li Dongze hung up the phone.

Zhang Yuanqing hung up the phone, and the old driver turned his office chair, turned around, and smiled:

"Listening to the voice, it seems to be Li Yuanfang from the Second Team... The Second Team of Fenghui District has not made any achievements for a long time, and its performance has always been at the bottom, so the Night Watcher in that district is so arrogant."

Li Yuanfang? What a great name! Zhang Yuanqing complained in his heart.

Guan Ya added: "The captain of the Second Team in Fenghui District is also from our White Tiger Corps."

The old driver winked.

She is implying that I should build a good relationship with the middle-level members of the White Tiger Corps to sell favors... Zhang Yuanqing said with a complicated expression:

"Sister Guan Ya, you are so nice to me, are you falling in love with me and want an old cow to eat young grass?"

Pfft! Wang Tai, who was drinking water at the next table, sprayed it out all at once.

He looked at his two colleagues in horror. When did they get together? How could I not have noticed at all?

"Old cow?" Guan Ya's eyebrows stood on end, and blue veins jumped on her smooth forehead. Biting her plump lips, she said, "Yuan Shi, I think we still have time for a fight before the squad leader's car returns."

"I was wrong!" Zhang Yuanqing knew when to yield.

........

The black business car drove into the Fenghui District Public Security Bureau. Through the car window, Zhang Yuanqing saw Li Dongze leaning on his cane, waiting in front of the office building early.

After getting out of the car, the two nodded in greeting, and then entered the office building together.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the morgue.

Outside the morgue, in the spacious and bright corridor, seven or eight Spirit Realm Hunters were gathered. Zhang Yuanqing casually glanced over and guessed their professions based on their appearance and temperament.

Muscular and looks very irritable, must be a Fire Master... What profession is the one with a bird standing on his shoulder? Well, the squad leader said that the Flower Sect's Wood Elves love animals... The one with a dull expression must be an Earth Guard...

These Spirit Realm Hunters all looked a little resentful.

Finally, Zhang Yuanqing looked at the middle-aged man who came up to him. This man was about forty years old, with sunken eyes, a hooked nose, and thin lips, giving people a sharp and serious feeling.

"Let me introduce you. This is the captain of the Second Team in Fenghui District, a level 3 Scout, Spirit Realm ID is Da Tang Li Yuanfang." Li Dongze smiled when he introduced the other party's ID.

"Li Dongze, you can't wait to introduce my Spirit Realm ID to others every day." The middle-aged man sighed and looked at Zhang Yuanqing. A smile appeared on his serious face:

"I was obsessed with TV dramas with a Tang Dynasty background a few years ago, so I took this name. You are the Night Watcher that our White Tiger Corps just recruited, right? Young and promising."

I wonder if there is anyone named Di Renjie. It would be very awkward, no, very funny, when you two meet... Zhang Yuanqing suppressed his laughter and shook hands with the other party enthusiastically, calling him Captain kindly.

This made Li Yuanfang smile even more, "It's still better to have our own Night Watcher."

After sighing, he continued:

"Li Dongze has told you about the course of events, right? I'm sorry, the Night Watcher of the Taiyi Sect stationed in Fenghui District refused to ask the spirit. We had no choice but to ask for your help."

The muscular young man snorted coldly, "Even if there is a risk of devouring the witch gu master, it won't be life-threatening. Don't we face risks when we fight evil professions on the front line? The Night Watchers of the Taiyi Sect are always aloof. Every time we ask them to do something, it's as if we are begging them."

The young man with a bird on his shoulder smiled and said, "That's why it's better to have our own people."

Li Yuanfang waved his hand, interrupting his subordinate's complaints, and pondered:

"Although Li Dongze gave you a guarantee, I still have to remind you that the witch gu master's mental strength is extremely strong, chaotic, and manic, and the deceased was a level 3 witch gu master.

"His remaining spirit body is very dangerous. Are you confident?"

Several team members immediately looked at Zhang Yuanqing, their eyes full of expectation.

Zhang Yuanqing nodded: "No problem, I am confident."

The Spirit Realm Hunters in Fenghui District looked happy, and Li Yuanfang's expression relaxed slightly, and he looked at Zhang Yuanqing with a little more approval.

"Thank you." He nodded and said.

Li Dongze immediately led Zhang Yuanqing into the morgue and closed the door, blocking his colleagues in Fenghui District who were looking forward to coming in to watch.

Li Dongze leaned on his cane and walked to a steel mortuary vehicle, opening the white cloth covering the corpse.

Seeing the corpse under the white cloth, Zhang Yuanqing was taken aback and showed a look of astonishment.

The corpse had short, ink-green hair, dark brown skin that was rough and tough. The elbows, knees, and other joints were covered with thick keratin, like armor. The fingernails were ink-colored, and the ends were sharp and curved, containing deadly poison.

His facial skin was also dark brown, and his scattered and dim pupils were as vertical as snake pupils. The eyeballs were amber in color.

Li Dongze held his cane in one hand and explained:

"Witch gu masters in the Extraordinary Realm have two major methods. One is raising gu, using gu worms to kill people invisibly. The other is to assimilate with gu, according to the characteristics of the gu worms, to obtain an ability, thereby improving close combat ability. Such as self-healing ability, vitality, strength, speed, toxicity..."

Zhang Yuanqing sighed: "Sounds very strong, worthy of being an evil profession."

It is worth mentioning that among the local Spirit Realm professions, witch gu masters, illusionists, and bewitching demons are all top professions, ranking alongside Night Watchers.

So there are only three evil professions, and the number cannot be compared with official Spirit Realm Hunters.

Li Dongze said: "He was killed while transforming into a gu, and his body has remained in this state. Heh, he didn't die elegantly at all. Because he merged with the gu worms, his spirit body is full of hostility and beastliness, and the mental pollution is extremely high. This is also why the Night Watchers of the Taiyi Sect don't want to touch it."

Zhang Yuanqing nodded.

He has the Vajra Pestle to protect him, so he is not afraid of mental pollution.

Li Dongze continued:

"The person who fought with him was also a witch gu master. After our people arrived, they killed one person and the other was injured and escaped. Preliminary suspicion is that this person may be a member of the Spirit Energy Society or a subordinate of Black Impermanence.

"Hurry up and see what clues you can get this time. I think the Second Team colleagues outside can't wait."

Zhang Yuanqing nodded, opened the inventory, took out the Vajra Pestle and gave it to Li Dongze, then walked to the humanoid corpse and awakened the residual mental strength sleeping in this body.

A illusory figure slowly floated out, its face dull, with a hint of ferocity and gloom.

More manic than Ou Xiangrong's spirit body, I want to eat it, but I don't want to eat it... Zhang Yuanqing sighed silently, and a thick black light surged in his eyes, occupying his eye sockets, and he opened his mouth and sucked, swallowing the spirit body into his stomach.

A burst of pain throbbed between his eyebrows, and countless chaotic memories flashed through his mind.

These memories were fragmented and chaotic. Zhang Yuanqing half-looked and half-guessed to understand part of the deceased's life experience.

Before becoming a Spirit Realm Hunter, this witch gu master was unemployed, liked to fight and be fierce, and specialized in collecting debts for some loan-sharking financial companies, watching the scene in nightclubs, playing the "immortal jump" scam, forcing women from other places to sell their bodies, and so on.

He did all kinds of bad things, but his life was still prosperous.

Under the circumstances, he gained the favor of the Spirit Realm, and a character card fell from the sky, making him a Spirit Realm Hunter.

He named himself "Outlaw Madman". After becoming a Spirit Realm Hunter, he was keen on doing charity. When he accumulated a certain amount of moral value, he began to kill ordinary people and rape women, venting the evil thoughts in his heart.

These fragmented and chaotic memories were painful for Zhang Yuanqing. His three views were strongly impacted, and a contempt for everything grew in his heart.

At this time, he read the key memories he wanted.

In a luxuriously decorated tea room, a man with the upper half of his face covered by a silver mask was sitting at a glass round table, tasting the tea in a ceramic cup.

He looked at the "Zhang Yuanqing" opposite the round table and said:

"Judge of the Evil Eye is dead. The position of the East District President of the Spirit Energy Society belongs to Master. The two vice presidents have been fighting for so many years, and it has finally come to an end."

"How did Judge of the Evil Eye die?" Zhang Yuanqing heard the host's voice.

"This is not something you should know." The man with the silver mask gave a sharp look.

"Sorry, Executive."

The masked man's gaze softened, and he poured him a cup of tea and said:

"Black Impermanence hid with the Holy Grail and the roster. The Holy Grail is a rule-type item of the witch gu master profession, and its importance is self-evident. The roster gathers the servants that Judge of the Evil Eye has subdued over the years.

"Controlling the roster means controlling many Spirit Realm Hunters. Both things are very important. Madman, our chance to make contributions has come. Help Master find Black Impermanence and integrate the strength of the East Branch, and we can compete with the Songhai Branch of the Five Elements Alliance."

"Then, Executive, what should I do?"

Outlaw Madman's breathing was slightly rapid, and his tone contained excitement.

"I have a list of Black Impermanence's subordinates. You can search according to the list, and you may be able to find Black Impermanence's hiding place. Of course, the people on the list have long been hidden. They are 'Rampage Without Fear', 'Injustice of Heaven', 'Grandpa Kills People Without Blinking an Eye', 'Young Woman Is Very Moist', and their corresponding real-world identities are..."
