I never expected that the destruction of the magic flag was due to Du Peilin's magical power.
I had never seen Du Peilin use such a powerful talisman before. The thunder roared on a clear day, and those hideous and ugly zombies were immediately intimidated and couldn't move.
"This is my ID!"
Du Peilin took out his police ID. "I've been handling cases in Green City and also in Hong Kong. I've dealt with some major cases. Have you ever heard of the Hong Kong Wong Tai Sin incident? Oh, and the Fengling haunted house case? I played a part in those!"
When talking about his achievements, Du Peilin couldn't help but look excited. "I've always been impartial in handling cases. So, big brother, you'd better come with me and turn yourself in honestly. The cases I've handled are more well - known than you!"
On one side, the Du brothers were at odds, while on the other side, Si Jiangchen was dealing with Lin Shuya, who had completely turned into a corpse.
Si Jiangchen's finger was steady. He accurately pointed at Lin Shuya's glabella.
Instantly, Lin Shuya was like a wind - up doll with its spring loosened. She slumped to the ground.
"Mom!"
Wei Yuan couldn't stand it any longer. He shouted at Si Jiangchen, "Don't do this! She's your sister! She... She's just sick and took the wrong medicine!"
"Ayuan... Wuwuwu... Ayuan, save mom!"
Lin Shuya, lying on the ground, stretched out a hand towards Wei Yuan. "Mom doesn't want to die..."
"Get out of the way!"
That stupid Wei Yuan actually struggled free from Feng Qianqian's arm and rushed to Lin Shuya's side, trying to help her up.
Lin Shuya clung to his shoulder along his hand. She cried bitterly, and her tears dripped onto Wei Yuan's clothes. "Ayuan, you're so good to mom. It's worth raising you all these years!"
"Mom, let's go abroad for treatment!"
Wei Yuan still remembered the hospital he found on the Internet before coming here. He heard that they could use a whole - body blood transfusion method to rejuvenate the human body.
"It's too late, too late!"
Lin Shuya shook her head. Suddenly, she hugged Wei Yuan tightly and opened her mouth. "Good son, fulfill mom! Let mom eat you! Otherwise, mom will rot!"
Two long canine teeth, more than an inch long, had grown on Lin Shuya's broken gums. She bit towards Wei Yuan's neck.
"Ahhhh!!!"
Wei Yuan was so scared that he even forgot to dodge.
I heard Si Jiangchen sigh softly. He raised his hand and summoned a Yin Five - Thunder. Suddenly, a faint green light shone from Lin Shuya's wide - open mouth. Then, the green light also emerged from her broken skin. It was like a human - shaped volcano exploding from the inside out. The power of the Yin Five - Thunder was fierce, but it only destroyed the target chosen by the spell - caster and would never harm others.
Lin Shuya let out a shrill scream. She exploded like a sand - sculpted human figure in an instant. Countless black fine sands flew everywhere. There was no stench, and no soul emerged... She disappeared without a trace, as if she had never existed in this world!
"Ahhh! Ahhh!!"
Wei Yuan gasped for breath and hadn't recovered from the shock. It wasn't until Feng Qianqian helped him up again that he stared at Si Jiangchen in disbelief and asked, "Why? Why?!"
She was his mother! How could a mother be so cruel as to want to bite her own son and put him to death? Even if Wei Yuan wasn't Lin Shuya's biological child, after raising a cat or a dog for a long time, there would still be some feelings!
Wei Yuan's spirit was almost on the verge of collapse!
"Because she was never human in the first place!" Si Jiangchen said indifferently. "If you hang around her, she'll only think she can eat you to extend her life, just like you eat chickens, ducks, and fish."
"Ugh..."
Wei Yuan looked at the black powder splashed on his body. Thinking that it was part of his family, he couldn't help vomiting.
"Big brother, I'm arresting you now on the charge of endangering public safety."
Du Peilin didn't even look at us. His eyes were only fixed on Du Peiyun.
He had brought two police cars and more than a dozen special - department police officers, just in case Du Peiyun used the Du family's power to control zombies.
"A Lin, we're family. Don't you want the Immortal Bone?"
Du Peiyun knew what the main branch of the Du family wanted. No one could resist the temptation of immortality. Even though the lifespan of these cultivators was much longer than that of ordinary people, only they themselves knew that under their young appearance, their muscles, bones, and internal organs had already started to deteriorate...
"Me?"
After hearing his elder brother's words, Du Peilin couldn't help laughing. "What do I need to live so long for? I have my own wife. I can't just watch my wife grow old day by day while I still look like a young man!"
Saying this, Du Peilin seemed to be picturing that scene in his mind. He shivered and shook his head repeatedly. "If I can't grow old with the one I love, that would be a terrifying thing!"
I never expected Du Peilin to be such an outlier. I couldn't help thinking of his lover, Zhao Zifeng. That girl was worthy of his treatment!
As he spoke, Du Peilin took out a pair of handcuffs from his waist and put them on Du Peiyun's hands.
Those handcuffs were different from ordinary ones. There seemed to be some strange talismans engraved on them.
"He has connections in high places."
Si Jiangchen suddenly spoke up to remind Du Peilin. "I'm afraid that even if you arrest him, someone will pull strings to get him out."
"Sigh..."
Du Peilin also let out a frustrated sigh. He seemed helpless against this all - pervasive hidden power.
"Xia He, can you do me a favor?"
Si Jiangchen lowered his head and looked at me.
"Me?"
I was a bit surprised. "I don't know any people in high places!"
"Eat his three souls. Just leave the vital energy that maintains his body functions in his body, so that he won't cause trouble in the future!"
Si Jiangchen seemed to be tempting me again.
"No! No! I won't do it!"
The feeling of eating Mrs. Sheng still made me feel nauseous when I thought about it. How could I possibly eat Du Peiyun's living soul?
"... Si Jiangchen, are you such a shameless person?"
After hearing Si Jiangchen's words, Du Peilin immediately stared. "Xia He, a good girl, has been spoiled by you!"
"Hehe!"
Si Jiangchen didn't defend himself. He slowly pushed the broken door aside and pointed at the various hideous zombies outside.
"If Xia He doesn't eliminate this scourge for the people, when he comes out again, there will be far more than a hundred victims!"
Both Du Peilin and I were stunned for a moment.
Si Jiangchen seemed to be right. Destroying Du Peiyun might save hundreds or thousands of people!
"Those zombies have had their souls refined by the Du clan leader."
Si Jiangchen pointed vaguely around. Although he couldn't see the souls, he could sense the gloomy aura. Now that the black mist above the Religious Affairs Bureau had been torn apart by Du Peilin, under the bright sunlight, the ghosts refined by Du Peiyun all curled up into small balls and hid in the shadows where the sunlight couldn't reach, wailing miserably.
"Xia He, can you bear to let them suffer in this world like this?"
