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 bizarre and eerie scene was enough to scare anyone out of their wits.

Jiang Yuer frowned slightly and said, "Sister, I have something on my end, I'll hang up first. Sister? Sister?"

She retracted her gaze from the top of the tunnel, glanced at her phone, and found that the call had been disconnected at some point.

Jiang Yuer looked at the car's screen again, which showed a "no signal" status.

Not only was there a power outage, but it seemed like there was no signal either.

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

Screams rose one after another, obviously everyone had seen the little girl walking upside down on the top of the tunnel. Although the red hat covered her face, such a terrifying and bizarre scene still frightened the people in the tunnel.

"Ghost, it's a ghost~"

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

"Call the police quickly!!"

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

Those who were slightly calmer ran while pulling out their phones to call the police, only to find that their phones had no signal.

In short, no one stayed behind to take pictures or record this supernatural phenomenon.

It can be seen that in the face of true fear, running away is a human instinct.

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

Then came the second, the third, and the fourth. Along with the little girl in the red hat's footsteps, more and more people disappeared in the tunnel.

Everyone she passed was doomed to disappear.

Jiang Yuer screamed, pushed open the car door to escape, but at this moment, the little girl was already above her head.

"Thump!"

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

8 PM, a small apartment villa in Fujiawan.

Zhang Yuanqing, having washed away the blood and sweat, changed into pajamas. He chewed two pieces of chewing gum, feeling the abundant energy in his groin, and was about to use Star Art to enter Guan Ya's room, and then try to enter his future child's room, when suddenly, a loud ringtone interrupted his spellcasting.

The phone on the desk was ringing.

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

'Grandma, your grandson is about to work hard to make you a great-grandmother…' Zhang Yuanqing answered the phone with a smile.

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

Aunt is missing? Zhang Yuanqing's expression changed, all thoughts vanished, and he exclaimed, "When did this happen, Grandma, please explain clearly."

While asking, he listened to the phone while walking to the bed, quickly putting on his running shoes.

The speaker echoed with Grandma's anxious voice:

"Yuer didn't come home after getting off work. I called her, it went through, but no one answered. I called her hospital, and the colleague on duty said she wasn't there."

"You know Yuer always comes home on time every day, and she will inform me in advance if she has to work or have surgery."

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

Zhang Yuanqing asked, "Did you tell Cousin? Did you have him check at the hospital?"

Grandma said sadly:

"Your cousin said that many people disappeared in the Inner Ring Tunnel today, Yuer's car is also in the tunnel, and she's also missing. Your cousin is busy handling this case, and your grandpa has also gone to the security station, come back and keep Grandma company."

Multiple people collectively missing in the Inner Ring Tunnel? Zhang Yuanqing knew at once that this was not a routine case.

With moral constraints, The Way of the Extraordinary wouldn't target valueless ordinary people. Did someone obtain a Merchant Guild president's discarded item, and became arrogant and committed the crime?

Zhang Yuanqing quickly made an analysis, and then felt strong anxiety.

The Way of the Extraordinary still have concerns when killing, but those who suddenly gain superpowers have no scruples when harming people. Aunt is in danger!

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

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

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

(End of chapter!)

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

Fu Qingyang said:

"Go to Kangyang District Security Station and find Tianxiaguihuo. He just reported this case to me half an hour ago. There are no results yet."

The Qian Gongzi is now an elder, no longer a hands-on steward.

"Okay."

Zhang Yuanqing hung up the phone, opened his item bar, and took out a light blue leather glove - the Gale Glove.

His body collapsed into dreamy starlight and appeared in the villa courtyard. Then, he pressed his hands to his sides, and a gust of wind rose from the ground, carrying him into the night sky, quickly disappearing into the darkness.

Kangyang District Security Station, third floor.

In the conference room, Tianxiaguihuo sat at the head, elbows on the table, fingers interlaced, listening to the report from the second team leader, Li Dongze.

"The collective disappearance incident 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 guard outside the tunnel, he heard screams at the time." Li Dongze said in a deep voice, leaning on his cane, "They heard people in the tunnel shouting that there was a ghost, and then getting out of the car and running away. But strangely, 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 a video we found from a dashcam."

The team leaders at the table stared at the screen, only seeing a dark tunnel interior, with only the bright beams of car headlights.

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

She wore a red triangular hat, with the brim pulled low, covering her face.

Then there were chaotic and mixed screams, running sounds, car door opening sounds, and cries for help. These scenes all disappeared in half a minute.

"It can now be confirmed that this is an incident created by The Way of the Extraordinary. The target is a little girl, at least judging from the figure." Li Dongze said.

"It is not known whether the missing are dead or alive, so it cannot be determined whether that little girl is The Way of the Extraordinary, or an ordinary person who accidentally obtained an item."

"But reversing the motive, I am more inclined towards the latter."

The Way of the Extraordinary wouldn't be so bored.

"I have something to add." Qing Teng said, "The comrades at the Kangyang District Security Station found some bloodstains in the tunnel. According to the test, they dripped from above the tunnel, and likely originated from that little girl."

Hearing this, Tianxiaguihuo stared at the screen and said:

"Dongze, rewind ten seconds."

Ze pressed the rewind button.

Tianxiaguihuo squinted his eyes, observing the little girl in the red hat's walking posture, his rather heroic eyebrows furrowed:

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

The Kangyang District team leaders exchanged glances, their expressions changing.

In that case, 'prank' can be ruled out. That little girl in the red hat is likely to be bloodthirsty. Li Dongze's face twitched:

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

"Damn it!" Jiba angrily slammed the table, "The Way of the Extraordinary who are not constrained by moral values are too terrifying, we must get rid of her as soon as possible."

"Anger will only cloud your judgment and make you lose your ability to judge." Tianxiaguihuo, who was also a fire master, criticized his subordinate, "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."

Tianxiaguihuo pondered.

"Dashcams 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 one to disappear out of thin air. We can start from this aspect and perhaps follow the vine to find the function of that item."

Li Dongze took a breath: "This will all take time. I'm afraid those innocent people..."

Warm reminder: To prevent incomplete content and garbled text, please do not use the browser (app) reading mode.

Tianxiaguihuo frowned.

At this moment, a gust of wind rose outside the room, and the windows slammed 'bang bang'. Everyone looked over and was shocked to see Yuan Shiqing floating outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The next second, he dissolved into dreamy starlight, and reappeared from the dreamy starlight, penetrating the floor-to-ceiling windows and arriving in the office.

"Why are you here?" Li Dongze was stunned.

If it were normal times, Zhang Yuanqing would say that he felt he wasn't elegant enough recently, so he came to listen to the squad leader's teachings and absorb 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, tell me about the investigation results again."

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

Non-The Way of the Extraordinary, bloodthirsty, disappears for no reason… After understanding what happened, the anxiety in Zhang Yuanqing's heart increased even more.

It had been an hour and a half since 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 went out of control. This was something that had never happened even in S-class dungeons.

"You want to take over this case?" Tianxiaguihuo understood Yuan Shiqing's intention.

Hearing this, the faces of team leaders Qing Teng and Bailong lit up with joy.

"I understand. Leave this case to me." Zhang Yuanqing nodded to everyone, and his body dissipated into starlight.

"Beep beep~"

Zhang Yuanqing drove the gale, cast Star Teleportation, and returned home in a very short time. He deliberately didn't enter the house using Teleportation, but entered the password and opened the door.

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 comforting words:

"Yes, maybe Yuanyun will bring Yuer back in a little while. Don't worry."

Grandma sat on the sofa, silently shedding tears.

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

"Grandma, don't worry, 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, scrutinized the bed that exuded his 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 teleported to Aunt's room the moment the door was opened.

Saving people was urgent, there was no time to delay.

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

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

"Tap tap tap!"

The Red Dancing Shoes ran around him cheerfully.

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

"Tap tap tap..."

The Red Dancing Shoes' tracking function automatically activated. The dancing shoes, which existed between reality and illusion, directly penetrated the wall and ran away wildly.

Zhang Yuanqing immediately cast Star Teleportation to chase after it.

The night was hazy, riding the wind and whistling over the city, under his feet was the brightly lit Songhai City, and above his head was a night sky that was still considered clear. (Yes, a night sky that was still considered clear).

After being able to fly, Zhang Yuanqing realized that the reason why he couldn't see the stars at night was half due to air pollution and the other half due to light pollution.

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

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

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