Chapter 148

Gongsan Pingbalang was seen holding a blood-dripping samurai sword, saying with a smile, "Mr. Lin has arrived; you can take Zhang Yuru back now."

This took Lin Yu by great surprise, and after cautiously entering the room, he discovered that Zhang Yuru was lying peacefully on the sofa.

Gongsan Pingbalang explained that Situ Peng had attempted to violate the unconscious Zhang Yuru and had therefore been executed by him.

Although Lin Yu harbored doubts, Gongsan Pingbalang assured him that he only had admiration for Zhang Yuru and no ill intent, and also mentioned the matter of the guardian spirit.

Subsequently, he ordered Yuzao Huimei to arrange a vehicle to send Lin Yu and Zhang Yuru away.

Before leaving, a black butterfly landed on Zhang Yuru's head, and Gongsan Pingbalang informed Lin Yu that this symbolized the strongest protection curse, aimed at guarding Zhang Yuru from harm.

With a feeling of half-belief, Lin Yu picked up Zhang Yuru and left the scene.

When Lin Yu left the suite, his heart was full of worry for the unconscious Zhang Yuru.

After sitting in the car arranged by Huimei, he still couldn't let go of the black butterfly that could only be seen through the Heavenly Eye.

At this time, Xiao Chengzhou slipped into the car silently, and seeing Zhang Yuru lying there, he was first startled, then said, "I got the surveillance footage from the elevator and have sent it to you, but the content is quite strange."

Speaking of this, his gaze fell on Zhang Yuru, and he added with difficulty, "In the footage, it seems like wings grew out from behind Zhang Zong."

The video started playing, and it was exactly the moment Lin Yu pinned the black butterfly with the silver needle.

In the video, Lin Yu noticed that there wasn't only Zhang Yuru in the elevator car; Situ Peng was standing at the right edge of the car, so he was invisible from Lin Yu's angle.

The following footage showed that Situ Peng suddenly had something in his hand and sprayed it twice at Zhang Yuru.

At this moment, Lin Yu finally realized that the reason Zhang Yuru fainted wasn't because he had killed the guardian spirit with the silver needle, but because Situ Peng had done something to Zhang Yuru.

Even so, when Lin Yu wanted to watch the video with his Heavenly Eye, he failed to discover any abnormalities.

After the elevator door closed, Situ Peng stood in front of Zhang Yuru and bent down, intending to undo her coat.

This scene made Lin Yu furious, almost causing him to smash the phone in his hand.

However, the next moment, he froze.

In the video, Zhang Yuru, who had originally fainted, actually floated up; it wasn't that wings had grown out as Xiao Chengzhou said, but the way she floated up and down did indeed look like wings growing from her back.

Xiao Chengzhou explained, "That's exactly it; Zhang Zong looked like wings had grown out from her back."

Lin Yu stared tightly at the screen, his peripheral vision occasionally sweeping toward Zhang Yuru in his arms, wondering in his heart: what on earth was the protection curse Gongsan Pingbalang mentioned?

Situ Peng in the video was clearly scared out of his wits and hurriedly went to press the elevator button, wanting to escape.

As a result, Zhang Yuru actually grabbed Situ Peng by the neck and lifted him up by force!

Then, Zhang Yuru flew out from the top of the elevator with Situ Peng and disappeared from the surveillance footage.

This video shocked Lin Yu, but he still calmly ordered Xiao Chengzhou, "Don't spread this matter."

Xiao Chengzhou responded and got out of the car to leave.

Inside the car, Lin Yu reached out to touch the black butterfly on Zhang Yuru's head, only to find that his hand passed through it easily; it turned out this was just a ghost butterfly.

Just as the car drove away from the Jiutian Building, Lin Yu saw an object falling from the building through the car window.

Bang!

Lin Yu still heard the heavy impact sound inside the car, as if some heavy object had smashed into a nearby vehicle.

"Someone jumped off the building."

With a scream piercing the air, someone fell from upstairs.

Lin Yu immediately used his special ability to observe the scene, only to be shocked to discover that the figure falling from the high building had the exact same human radiance as Situ Peng, who had already died in the apartment.

This meant that the person falling was none other than the late Situ Peng.

At this time, Lin Yu turned his gaze toward Zhang Yuru and carefully checked her right hand.

He noticed that Zhang Yuru's right arm was significantly swollen, clearly a muscle strain caused by excessive force.

What was even more shocking was that some flesh and blood debris remained under Zhang Yuru's fingernails.

All of this led Lin Yu to a terrifying speculation: the guardian spirit had borrowed Zhang Yuru's body to kill Situ Peng!

"Sir, where to, please?"

The car drove away from the Jiutian Building, and the driver asked with a heavy local accent. Lin Yu reported the name of the residential area where Zhang Yuru lived, and the driver responded and drove away.

About twenty minutes later, Lin Yu returned home carrying Zhang Yuru, carefully placed her on the bed, and took out silver needles to perform acupuncture treatment on her.

After confirming that Zhang Yuru had no other hidden injuries, Lin Yu left.

Before he left, Lin Yu kept staring at the black butterfly that could only be seen through his special vision, then put away the silver needles.

An hour later, Lin Yu returned to Miao Street and came to the location where the golden pillar of light had appeared.

However, the scene had already been cordoned off by the Public Security Bureau, and a van was deformed and twisted due to high heat, with several blurred figures vaguely visible inside.

Several security officers rushed out from the scene and were vomiting uncontrollably not far away.

Seeing Lin Yu arrive, Long Wu walked out of the cordon and said, "This was a lightning strike accident."

"Do you believe it?" Lin Yu stared at the deformed van, and through his special vision, he saw seven twisted human-shaped radiances.

Human radiance does not disappear immediately after a person dies, and Lin Yu wasn't sure exactly how long it lasted.

Long Wu lit a cigarette, took a puff, and shook his head, "I don't believe it, but I have to believe it."

Lin Yu didn't pursue the reason; in fact, the reason was simple: Long Wu didn't want to add trouble to himself.

In fact, he knew in his heart that this was the method of someone from the Profound Sect, and it was impossible to trace the killer at all.

"The lightning melted the car body, and the people inside merged with the molten steel; there is no way to distinguish them."

Long Wu patted Lin Yu on the shoulder and said with a bitter smile, "Your intuition is very accurate; something did happen. You can also see that this is a great array method, and the target is..."

The two looked toward Miao Street together; now, only their seven families were left stubbornly holding on in Miao Street.

"Cousin, you've worked hard; I'll head back first," Lin Yu said to Long Wu, then turned and walked toward the depths of Miao Street.

Passing by Maiyi Lane, Lin Yu's footsteps stopped involuntarily. He stared quietly at this small alley for a long time before slowly leaving.

After returning to Zhongcaotang, he was met by the sight of Wang Sufen and Wu Yuanming sitting in the living room, but their expressions were grave, and they were injured in several places.

The room was filled with a heavy smell of blood, and Chang Sect disciples were busy cleaning wounds for the two.

"What on earth is going on?" Lin Yu asked while pushing aside those disciples to handle the wounds himself.

Wang Sufen's injuries were lighter, and she managed to show a bitter smile, "It's nothing major, just had a little accident."

However, judging from the knife wounds and hidden weapon wounds on her and Wu Yuanming, things were far from that simple.

Lin Yu didn't pursue the matter, just silently treated their wounds.
