Chapter 1 The Beginning

In the dim tunnel, a little girl wearing a red hat was walking upside down on the ceiling, her hands covered in blood.

Such a strange and eerie scene was enough to terrify anyone.

Jiang Yuer frowned slightly and said, "Sis, I have some things going on here, I'll hang up first... Sis?"

She withdrew her gaze from the tunnel ceiling and glanced at her phone, realizing the call had been disconnected at some point.

Jiang Yuer looked at the car screen again, which showed no signal.

Not only was there a power outage, but it seemed even the signal was gone.

"Holy crap, what is that?!" A terrified voice came from afar.

Screams rose one after another, obviously everyone had seen the little girl walking upside down on the tunnel ceiling. Although the red hat blocked her face, the terrifying and eerie sight still frightened the people in the tunnel.

"Ghost, a ghost~"

"Run, there's a ghost, the tunnel has..."

"Quick, call the police!!"

A car door opened, and the driver and passengers inside scrambled out of the car, running back in fear, trying to escape the tunnel.

Some, a little calmer, ran while fumbling for their phones to call the police, only to find that their phones had no signal.

In short, no one stopped to take out their phones and record the supernatural phenomenon of a ghost.

It was clear that in the face of true fear, running away was a human instinct.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man who was running wildly with a ferocious expression disappeared without warning.

Then came the second, third, and fourth. With the footsteps of the little girl in the red hat, more and more people disappeared in the tunnel.

Everyone she passed was doomed to disappear.

Jiang Yuer screamed, pushed open the car door and tried to escape, but at this time, the little girl had already reached the top of her head.

"Thud!"

The car door opened, and Jiang Yuer, who had just lunged out of the car, disappeared.

8:00 PM, a small villa in Fujiawan.

Zhang Yuanqing, having washed away the blood and sweat, changed into his pajamas, chewed two pieces of gum, and feeling the abundant energy of his crotch pendulum, was about to use star magic to enter Guan Ya's room, make some efforts, and then enter the future child's room, when suddenly, a loud phone ring interrupted his spellcasting.

The phone on the desk was ringing.

Zhang Yuanqing glanced at it, and the caller ID showed 'Grandma'.

Grandma, your grandson is about to work hard to create a great-grandchild for you... Zhang Yuanqing answered the phone and laughed.

"Yuanzi, Yuer is missing." Grandma's voice was anxious and flustered.

Little Aunt is missing? Zhang Yuanqing's face changed, and all his thoughts disappeared. He exclaimed, "When did it happen? Grandma, please explain clearly."

While asking, he listened to the phone and walked to the bed, quickly changing into running shoes.

Grandma's anxious voice echoed in the speaker:

"Yuer didn't come home after get off work, so I called her phone. It went through, but no one answered. I called her hospital, and the colleague on duty said she wasn't at the hospital."

"You know Yuer always comes home on time, and she always tells me in advance if she has to work or has surgery."

This was indeed not in line with Little Aunt's style.

Zhang Yuanqing asked, "Did you tell your cousin? Did you ask him to check at the hospital?"

Grandma said sadly:

"Your cousin said that many people went missing in the Inner Ring Tunnel today, and Yuer's car was also in the tunnel. She also went missing. Your cousin is busy dealing with this case, and your grandfather has also gone to the Public Security Bureau. Come back and keep Grandma company."

Multiple people collectively missing in the Inner Ring Tunnel? As soon as Zhang Yuanqing heard this, he knew it wasn't a routine case.

With the constraint of moral values, Lingjing Xingzhe (Spirit Realm Wanderers) wouldn't target worthless ordinary people. Did someone obtain a prop that the president of the Chamber of Commerce left outside, causing their mentality to swell, and thus commit the crime?

Zhang Yuanqing quickly analyzed it, and then a strong sense of anxiety arose.

Lingjing Xingzhe (Spirit Realm Wanderers) still have concerns when killing, but those guys who suddenly gain superpowers won't have any concerns when harming people. Little Aunt is in danger.

"I understand, I'll be right back."

Time was tight, so Zhang Yuanqing quickly hung up the phone and dialed Fu Qingyang's number.

As soon as Fu Qingyang answered the call, Zhang Yuanqing couldn't wait to say:

"Boss, I heard there was a collective disappearance case in the Inner Ring, and my little aunt is also involved. Who is in charge of the case? What are the investigation results?"

Fu Qingyang said:

"Go to the Kangyang District Public Security Bureau and find Tian Xia Gui Huo (All Under Heaven Returns to Fire). Half an hour ago, he just reported this case to me. There are no results yet."

Young Master Qian is now an Elder and no longer a hands-on Deacon.

"Okay."

Zhang Yuanqing hung up the phone, opened his inventory, and took out a pair of light blue leather gloves - the Swift Wind Gloves.

His body dissolved into dreamlike starlight, appearing in the villa's small courtyard. Then, he pressed his hands to his sides, and a gust of wind rose from the ground, lifting him into the night sky, quickly disappearing into the darkness.

Kangyang District Public Security Bureau, third floor.

In the conference room, Tian Xia Gui Huo (All Under Heaven Returns to Fire) sat at the head of the table, his elbows propped on the surface, his fingers interlaced, listening to the report from the captain of the second team, Li Dongze.

"The collective disappearance in the Inner Ring Tunnel occurred at 6:30 PM. At that time, the tunnel's streetlights suddenly went out, and the surveillance cameras also stopped working. According to the feedback from the gatekeeper outside the tunnel, he heard screams at the time." Li Dongze, leaning on his cane, said in a deep voice: "They heard people inside the tunnel shouting that there were ghosts, and then they got out of the car and ran away. But the strange thing is, those loud screams quickly disappeared. When the power was restored, there was no one in the tunnel except for the cars."

Li Dongze raised his hand and pressed the remote control, and a projection screen began to play a video.

"This is the video we found from the dashcam."

The captains at the table stared at the screen, seeing that the light inside the tunnel was dim, with only the bright beams of the car headlights.

At the top of the video, the tunnel ceiling, a petite figure vaguely appeared, walking upside down on the tunnel ceiling as if walking on flat ground.

She was wearing a red triangular hat on her head, and the brim was pulled very low, covering her face.

Then there was a chaotic mix of screams, running sounds, car door opening sounds, and cries for help. These scenes all disappeared within half a minute.

"It is now confirmed that this is an event created by a Lingjing Xingzhe (Spirit Realm Wanderer). The target is a little girl, at least judging from the figure, it is a little girl." Li Dongze said.

"It is unknown whether the missing people are alive or dead, so we cannot determine whether that little girl is a Lingjing Xingzhe (Spirit Realm Wanderer) or an ordinary person who accidentally obtained a prop."

"But inferring the motive for the crime, I am more inclined to the latter."

Lingjing Xingzhe (Spirit Realm Wanderers) wouldn't be so bored.

"I have a supplement." Qing Teng (Green Vine) said: "The comrades from the Kangyang District Public Security Bureau found some bloodstains in the tunnel. According to the test, it dripped from the top of the tunnel, most likely from that little girl."

Upon hearing this, Tian Xia Gui Huo's (All Under Heaven Returns to Fire) gaze focused on the screen, and he said:

"Dongze, rewind ten seconds."

Dongze pressed the rewind button.

Tian Xia Gui Huo (All Under Heaven Returns to Fire) narrowed his eyes, observing the little girl in the red hat's walking posture, his rather heroic eyebrows tightly furrowed:

"She doesn't look like she's injured. The bloodstains probably don't belong to her. She may have just killed someone before arriving at the Inner Ring Tunnel."

The captains of Kangyang District looked at each other, their expressions changing.

In that case, 'pranks' can be ruled out. That little girl in the red hat is probably bloodthirsty, and the missing people... Li Dongze's face twitched:

"A total of forty-two people are missing this time. If they are all killed... it will definitely be a major case that will shock the whole country."

"Damn it!" Ji Ba (Muscle Man) slammed the table angrily, "Lingjing Xingzhe (Spirit Realm Wanderers) who are not bound by moral values are too terrible. We must eliminate her as soon as possible."

"Anger will only cloud your reason and make you lose your judgment." Tian Xia Gui Huo (All Under Heaven Returns to Fire), who was also a Fire Master, criticized his subordinate, saying:

"Where did she go? Did the surveillance outside the tunnel capture anything?"

Li Dongze shook his head: "The surveillance outside the tunnel didn't capture anything. That little girl disappeared into the tunnel out of thin air."

Tian Xia Gui Huo (All Under Heaven Returns to Fire) pondered,

"The dashcam can capture it, so we can first rule out vengeful spirits. But the surveillance outside the tunnel can't capture it. There aren't many abilities that allow you to disappear out of thin air. We can start from this aspect, and perhaps find the function of that prop by following the vine."

Li Dongze sighed, "This will take time, I'm afraid those innocent people..."

Chapter 81 Finding Little Aunt

Tian Xia Gui Huo (All Under Heaven Returns to Fire) frowned.

At this moment, a gust of wind rose outside the room, and the windows rattled. Everyone looked over and were shocked to see Yuan Shi Tian Zun (Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning) floating outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

The next second, he transformed into dreamlike starlight and disappeared, then appeared again in dreamlike starlight, pierced through the floor-to-ceiling window, and came into the office.

"Why are you here?" Li Dongze was taken aback.

If it were normal, Zhang Yuanqing would say that he recently felt he wasn't elegant enough, so he came to listen to the squad leader's teachings and沾一沾优雅之气(borrow some elegance).

But now he really wasn't in the mood. He glanced at the video frozen on the screen and said:

"Replay it again, Squad Leader, and tell me about the investigation results again."

Li Dongze didn't even look at his current direct superior, and immediately pressed replay, and told Yuan Shi (Primordial Beginning) the analysis and conclusions from the meeting just now.

After understanding the course of events, the non-Lingjing Xingzhe (Spirit Realm Wanderer), bloodthirsty, disappearing out of thin air, Zhang Yuanqing's inner anxiety increased.

It had been an hour and a half since Little Aunt disappeared. She was a weak woman with no ability to resist danger. Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanqing's thoughts became chaotic, and his emotions almost lost control. This had never happened even in S-level dungeons.

"Want to take over this matter?" Tian Xia Gui Huo (All Under Heaven Returns to Fire) understood Yuan Shi Tian Zun's (Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning) intentions.

Hearing this, the faces of the captains Qing Teng (Green Vine), Bai Long (White Dragon), and others showed joy.

"I understand, leave this matter to me." Zhang Yuanqing nodded to everyone, and his body disintegrated into starlight.

"Beep beep~"

Zhang Yuanqing drove the wind, used the Star Evasion Technique, and returned home in a very short time. He deliberately didn't enter the house with the Evasion Technique, but entered the password and opened the door to the house.

As soon as he opened the door, his uncle's comforting voice came:

"Mom, don't worry, technology is so advanced now, there are surveillance cameras everywhere, Yuer will be fine."

Then came his aunt's comfort:

"Yes, maybe in a while, Yuanjun will bring Yuer back, don't worry."

Grandma sat on the sofa, silently shedding tears.

As soon as she saw her grandson return, she immediately pushed aside her son and daughter-in-law and greeted him, "Yuanzi, if something happens to your little aunt, how can Grandma live?"

"Grandma, don't worry, Little Aunt will be fine." Zhang Yuanqing helped Grandma back to the sofa.

At this time, in Jiang Yuer's bedroom, the real Zhang Yuanqing lifted the quilt, examining the bed that exuded his little aunt's fragrance, and accurately found a strand of beautiful hair from the pillow.

The Zhang Yuanqing outside was an illusion. The real him had already Star Evaded to his little aunt's room the moment the door opened.

Saving people was like fighting a fire, there was no time to delay.

Zhang Yuanqing's plan was to use the tracking function of the Red Dancing Shoes to find Little Aunt.

He pinched the strand of hair with two fingers and summoned the Red Dancing Shoes.

"Clap clap clap!"

The Red Dancing Shoes ran happily around him.

"Keep it down, my grandma and uncle are outside." Zhang Yuanqing muttered, and stuffed the strand of hair into the dancing shoes.

"Clap clap clap..."

The tracking function of the Red Dancing Shoes was automatically activated. These dancing shoes, which were between reality and illusion, directly penetrated the wall and ran away.

Zhang Yuanqing immediately used the Star Evasion Technique to chase after them.

The night was hazy, riding the wind and whistling above the city. Below were the brightly lit Songhai City, and above was a relatively clear night sky. (Yes, a relatively clear night sky)

After being able to fly, Zhang Yuanqing realized that one reason you can't see the stars at night is air pollution, and the other is light pollution.

It was the bright lights of the metropolis that obscured the stars in the sky.

Inner Ring Tunnel? Little Aunt is still in the tunnel?!

He chased the Red Dancing Shoes, constantly switching between Star Magic and flying. After more than ten minutes, he saw the Red Dancing Shoes run into a tunnel.
