Chapter 74 -64: Ten Disasters – Blood Water Disaster_2

“Even though he paid a precious price, he gained wealth.” Zhou Yuan spoke with conviction, “The flower language of the steel wool flower is endurance and wealth.”

As they chatted sporadically, just as they entered the Hengde Building, a man in a suit came up to them, whispering obsequiously: “Are you two from the ‘Control Bureau’? I am Du Kanghui’s secretary.”

“Yes.” Chen Guangxi, dressed in her signature investigator attire—suit, tie, shirt, trousers, and leather shoes—exuded an air of dominance, coldness, decisiveness, and a hint of mystery, making her easily recognizable.

Zhou Yuan, on the other hand, wore casual clothes, as he had not yet received his uniform.

“Please follow me.”

Du Kanghui’s secretary led them into the elevator and handed them a tablet, “This tablet allows you to view the building’s surveillance footage at any time.”

On the sixty-sixth floor of the building, layers of police tape sealed off the area, but no officers were in sight—once the Control Bureau intervened, the police had withdrawn.

Crossing the police tape, Zhou Yuan and Chen Guangxi stepped into the opulent, lavish room.

“Wow, so grand; living here means you can’t possibly die,” Chen Guangxi sighed. Humans, of all the species she had encountered, knew how to enjoy life the most.

Zhou Yuan looked at the secretary: “We’ll take a look around here. Please step out for a moment.”

“Okay.” The secretary quickly left.

Rather than entering the room hastily, Chen Guangxi stood at the door to take a look inside: “Sure enough, there are no signs of a struggle; whoever acted is not weak. A fourth-tier could not resist.”

She then stepped into the room for further observation.

After several rounds of inspection, she still found nothing useful.

“Check the footage.”

They watched the building’s surveillance footage from the previous night but found nothing—due to privacy and security concerns, there were no cameras installed in Du Kanghui’s room.

“Zhou, let me test you. In the current situation, how should we investigate?” Chen Guangxi asked.

Zhou Yuan looked at her with suspicion: “Are you out of ideas?”

“Damn it, how could I be? I just wanted to test you… Forget it, I’ll teach you directly.”

Chen Guangxi summoned her spirituality and cast a spell, a flash of brilliance igniting in her golden eyes, like burning flames.

“This spell is called Spiritual Vision; it allows one to see traces left by extraordinary abilities like Aoneng Power. Anyone who has been here will leave a trace. This is what I want to teach you.”

As Chen Guangxi’s gaze shifted, she quickly noticed faint, almost dissipated, sinister ghostly energy in the room.

“Found it.” She smiled slightly.

Zhou Yuan’s heart skipped a beat: “What did you find?”

“Yin energy. The perpetrator this time might be a Fierce Ghost. But a Fierce Ghost capable of directly abducting a fourth-tier extraordinary person…” Chen Guangxi paused, as if recalling something, her eyes narrowing.

Du Kanghui used to be the general manager of Blueprint Group, and Wanxiang Plaza was built by Blueprint Group… The corpses under Wanxiang Plaza… Gathering Yin Formation, Evil God Embryo… Du Kanghui’s disappearance…

In an instant, a flash of inspiration connected many fragmented clues and events in Chen Guangxi’s mind. She took out her phone and made a call: “Check for missing persons during the construction period of Wanxiang Plaza. Filter out those related to Du Kanghui and Blueprint Group.”

!

Zhou Yuan couldn’t help but be shocked, because narrowing down this filter would inevitably lead to Fang Qing.

At that moment, he also figured it out: Chen Guangxi and the others must have found traces of the evil entity being nurtured by the Gathering Yin Formation at Wanxiang Plaza, and even found signs of Fang Qing.

With these clues, seeing the Yin energy now connected everything—this was clearly a Fierce Ghost seeking revenge!

A few minutes later, there was news on the other end of the phone: “There are three missing persons in total. I’ll send you the information.”

As Chen Guangxi flipped through the details of the three missing persons, her pupils suddenly constricted, and she murmured: “How is it possible…”

“What’s wrong?”

“I’m certain. The culprit is this person.” Chen Guangxi showed the phone screen to Zhou Yuan, and it was Fang Qing!

“No, to be precise, she is now a Fierce Ghost…”

Chen Guangxi’s mind was in turmoil, as she recognized Fang Qing as the blood-sea Fierce Ghost previously seen at the Happy Paradise’s castle. Although she had only caught a glimpse, she remembered the general appearance of the blood-sea Fierce Ghost.

“Blood water… Blood water! That’s it; everything matches.” Chen Guangxi was somewhat excited, as if she had solved not just Du Kanghui’s disappearance case.

“Matched with what?”

Zhou Yuan’s heart pounded, a bit anxious but not overly so, since he had disguised his identity and planned to pin everything on “Wang Zhen.” At worst, he would resume his activities with another alias.

“It’s classified, so I can’t tell you. But there are leads on Du Kanghui’s case. Let’s go back to the Control Bureau.”

·

“… that’s the situation.”

In the meeting room, Chen Guangxi recounted her findings in one go.

“Hmm…”

Director Wang Dong pondered, tapping his fingers on the table, and after a moment, he said:

“You’re saying that the Evil God Embryo buried under Wanxiang Plaza represents the blood-water disaster among the ten calamities, and this disaster’s power was absorbed by a Fierce Ghost?”

“Based on the current situation, this is the only explanation.” Chen Guangxi nodded affirmatively.

Wang Dong mused: “Fang Qing, an investigative journalist, sure had a high-risk job… She seems to have regained her sanity now, only targeting her old enemies without harming innocents inadvertently.

Since that’s the case, we can possibly contact and even cooperate with her. After all, she has become the blood-water disaster, and Land of Truth will definitely not let her go.

But the problem is how to find her…”

A fifth-tier Fierce Ghost could almost come and go without a trace. Unless she revealed herself, it would be difficult to track her down.

“Use the magic mirror.” Chen Guangxi suggested.

“The magic mirror was damaged recently.” Wang Dong shook his head.

“What?” Chen Guangxi was stunned, “What was it used to probe?”

“Zhao Junlang applied to use the magic mirror to trace ‘that thing’s location. As a result, the mirror broke, and it will take two months to repair.” Wang Dong sighed helplessly.

Chen Guangxi pondered: “I will ask the director of Happy Paradise; he had previous contact with Fang Qing. Perhaps it has something to do with him that Fang Qing regained her sanity.”

“Okay.”

Chen Guangxi immediately called the director to inquire, her eyebrows furrowing after a brief conversation.

“Wang Zhen?”

“…”

“Alright, I understand…”

After hanging up, Chen Guangxi scratched her head: “Fang Qing was previously suppressed in Happy Paradise’s castle by the director. The day before yesterday, Wang Zhen went there and… subdued Fang Qing.”

“Subdued? Isn’t Fang Qing a fifth-tier?” Wang Dong’s cold, pale face showed a trace of doubt.

“Wang Zhen won [Anomaly 550·Equal Life] at Happy Paradise casino, and somehow got hold of a Paru Ball. The moment the Equal Life Barrier struck, Fang Qing was down to nearly dead, and then… she was captured.” Chen Guangxi tried to maintain her composure.

A string of question marks popped up over the heads of the high-ranking officials present, incredulous that a first-tier extraordinary person had captured a fifth-tier Fierce Ghost with a Paru Ball?

“A Paru Ball?” Wang Dong thought for a moment, “Similar to [Anomaly 3314·Master Ball]?”

“Yes.”

“So Fang Qing is in Wang Zhen’s hands?”

“Apparently…”

“Did Wang Zhen also handle this case then?”

“It seems so…”

“Do you have Wang Zhen’s contact information?”

“No, I even suspect Wang Zhen might not be his real name.” Chen Guangxi shrugged.

Wang Dong pinched the bridge of his nose: “Post on the forum, asking him to come to the Control Bureau, saying that we will not pursue charges for the killings for now, and have urgent matters to discuss.”

Compared to the blood-water disaster among the ten calamities, the deaths of a few scum like Du Kanghui seemed less significant.

“Okay, I’ll handle it.”

Chen Guangxi said, getting up to leave the meeting room.

Outside, Zhou Yuan waited in the hallway, his gaze fixed on the meeting room door.

Thanks to the powerful ability of the Eyes of Identification, Zhou Yuan had “seen” the conversation inside the meeting room.

Evil God Embryo, blood-water disaster… Zhou Yuan was stirred; he knew the blood-water disaster was one of the ten plagues recorded in the Bible.

But he had no idea what the Evil God Embryo was; anything related to the Land of Truth was unlikely to be good.

At this moment, Chen Guangxi pushed the door open and came out, speaking to him: “Let’s go; next, we’re investigating someone.”

“Who?”

“Wang Zhen. I’ll tell you about him later.”

Classic, investigating myself… Zhou Yuan pretended to know nothing and nodded.
