Chapter 57

"Is this... a Peachwood Sword?"

Li'er, who was watching the situation inside through the interrogation window, couldn't help but widen her eyes at this moment.

Her clear, beautiful eyes stared intently at the Peachwood Sword.

Then, in a pure tone, she said something that left everyone breathless:

"Can I touch his Peachwood Sword?"

The whole room went dead silent.

A moment later.

The entire live stream was filled with laughter.

The audience laughed until tears came out.

And it was from this point on.

Across the entire Dragon Kingdom’s internet.

Fang Hao gave the term "Peachwood Sword" a brand new meaning.

From then on.

When people described their specific parts...

Peachwood Sword became the best substitute term!

And "fencing" and "exorcising evil"... also took on brand new meanings.

Furthermore.

It wasn't just the term "Peachwood Sword."

A few minutes later.

The term "Demon-Capturing Gourd"... also changed its meaning.

A piece of wood shaped exactly like a butt.

Appeared on the live stream screen.

This butt... no, this gourd was too lifelike.

We don't know what special breed this gourd is.

Even the narrow, long shape of the gourd’s mouth was exceptionally unique.

"As I said before."

"I am a successor of a Celestial Master."

"So carrying a demon-capturing gourd with me..."

"Is a very logical and normal thing, right?"

"Don't look at my gourd with that kind of gaze."

"I just polished it to a flawless state, which is why it’s so white and tender."

"This is a magic tool I use to store demons and ghosts."

In front of the camera.

Fang Hao explained quite seriously.

It was clear.

He was really trying his best to clear himself of suspicion.

But sometimes...

The direction of the effort is wrong.

No matter how hard you try, it’s all in vain.

Around eight o'clock that night.

News came from the internet—

Fang Hao had been detained.

And he was being held in the detention center in Huaizhou City.

[Breaking News! Fang Hao is in!]

[I just heard from a friend at the station that Fang Hao is having his physical exam right now, and the paperwork is already being processed, hahaha!]

[He finally got his! I heard Fang Hao might be sentenced to six months of detention, hahaha...]

[Laughing to death... didn't expect Fang Hao to be this miserable!]

[As expected, the source of all evil is the source of all evil; even if he has nothing to do with Cao Cao’s tomb, he’ll find a way to get himself locked up!]

[Just got out of the detention center and already figuring out how to get back in... too awesome, hahaha!]

[This wave... this wave is very satisfying!]

The audience laughed their heads off.

And hundreds of kilometers away.

In Xudu, Lindong Province.

Xu Qiong and Ding He, the two criminal police officers who heard the news, were stunned.

The two of them, who were handling the Cao Cao tomb case, looked at each other.

Both saw the confusion in the other’s eyes.

"What is going on..."

"Can this guy not stay idle for even a second?"

"We haven't even closed the case here, and he’s already inside?"

"Is he addicted..."

Inside the detention center.

Fang Hao sighed deeply.

The rumors spreading outside that Fang Hao was detained, or even sentenced...

Actually didn't match reality.

In fact.

Fang Hao was only temporarily being held here.

There would be second and third rounds of interrogation.

It’s just that this time, the suspicion of the other three people was temporarily ruled out.

Looking at the wall in front of him.

Fang Hao was helpless.

He hadn't even entered the big celebrity’s room at all!

Who knew it would be such a coincidence.

Not two days after he settled in...

The big celebrity was targeted by a pervert.

Damn, the Old Six System really cooperated at a top-tier level.

By modifying reality...

It put so many strange-shaped things in his bag.

What’s even more deadly is that these things actually had their own histories.

In Fang Hao’s mind, there were also ways to use them.

The magic tools were real magic tools.

And being down-to-earth was also damn down-to-earth.

Now that he was in the police station and locked up.

He wasn't angry at the police at all.

He really couldn't blame them.

With such ironclad evidence in front of them, the police were just following procedure.

It was all the Old Six System playing tricks.

This time, checking in.

Fang Hao gained an additional identity: [Successor of the Last Celestial Master].

This allowed Fang Hao’s mind.

To also have memories of many spells for subduing demons and eliminating evil.

Even simple things like writing talismans, driving away ghosts, suppressing ghosts, praying for blessings, and reincarnation...

Fang Hao could do them.

But what Fang Hao never expected...

Was the nature of this Old Six System.

As everyone knows.

When the [Thousand Faces System] generates a profession.

It will correspondingly modify everything currently existing on Blue Star.

This kind of modification is pervasive.

It can affect reality and history.

For example, before.

After checking in as a descendant of Cao Aman.

Fang Hao directly obtained a property and the valuable artifacts in the entire basement.

And this time it was the same.

Fang Hao not only learned various Taoist techniques.

Similarly.

He also gained a batch of "magic tools."

It’s just that the shape of these magic tools...

Sigh!

Fang Hao sighed deeply.

He was now starting to suspect.

Is the system aiming for... letting himself go to jail?

Why is it that wherever he goes, there’s a case?

I’m not Conan, damn it!

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Li'er and her manager were walking towards the hotel.

Her mood was good today.

Not only did she catch that pervert, but she also touched a Peachwood Sword...

"This time, I can sleep peacefully and comfortably."

Li'er hummed a song.

Bouncing towards the hotel room door.

Beside her.

Was her exclusive manager.

"That pervert has been caught now, so you should rest well."

"Get some good sleep today, recharge your energy, and continue the concert tomorrow."

Having been on edge all day.

Now that the culprit had finally been caught.

The two of them could finally get some good rest.

Thinking this, they opened the door.

And after opening the door.

The moment they saw the scene inside.

Their minds went "buzz."

They stood inside the doorway.

Stunned on the spot.

The room that had been tidied up with such difficulty.

Was now...

Messy again?

How is this possible!?

It was as if a pack of huskies had been raised inside.

Throughout the room, it was filled with messy underwear, shoes, and socks...

And inside the room.

There was also a strange, fishy stench.

Looking at the anomaly in front of them.

The two of them almost fainted.

Wasn't that criminal suspect already... already arrested?

Why...

Why would it be like this!?

Bang!

And just at this moment.

A strange thing happened.

Behind the two of them.

The door that had just been opened suddenly closed.

Without anyone operating it.

The entire door locked itself.

And not only that.

The lights that had turned on as the room card was inserted...

Were now flickering.

Even the electrical circuit was affected, flickering on and off.

"How could... how could this be..."

"This door... why won't it open!"

The manager’s scalp went numb.

She looked at the surroundings of the room in horror.

She used all her strength to try and pry open the door.

However, she discovered with horror...

The doorknob felt as if it had been welded shut.

It couldn't be moved at all.

And along with the touch.

A chill that made her bones tremble made her shiver uncontrollably.

The scene became quiet.

Li'er’s tears were falling.

She kept pulling on the manager’s sleeve beside her.

Looking at the darkness in the depths of the room, she trembled and said:

"Sister Lin... Sister Lin, look... what is that..."

"That shadow is..."

The manager turned her head, feeling a bit creeped out.

She looked into the distance, following Li'er beside her.
