Chapter 330: Killing (Transition chapter, no subscription required)
Returning the book to Qi Xueyan, Lin Moyu closed his eyes, pondering some of the unusual incidents his sister had told him about.
According to his sister, the hospitals near Xinxi Mountain had all recently experienced blood shortages.
There was clearly plenty of stock in the blood banks, yet it had vanished into thin air; many Commoners in need of transfusions could not receive treatment due to this, lingering on the brink of death and dying within the hospitals.
This matter had already caused a small stir within Xinxi Mountain.
Furthermore, according to his sister, a private forum in Xinxi Mountain had recently exposed some ghostly incidents, which were also related to blood.
In several places in Xinxi Mountain, a total of seven or eight corpses had been discovered; these corpses were all mummified, the blood inside their bodies having disappeared.
A rumor had also begun to circulate that a vampire had appeared in Xinxi Mountain.
Some people even linked this to the blood shortage at the blood stations.
In any case, it was incredibly strange.
Of course, this was only one of them.
Recently, his sister had always felt that something was not quite right, as if there were prying eyes, which was why Lin Moyu had chosen to go over.
Not long after, the plane landed, and Lin Moyu stood up; he saw Lin Chao and Qi Xueyan ahead.
The man was handsome and the woman beautiful, a natural pair; their relationship looked very intimate, just like a couple.
Lin Moyu could not help but think of his late wife, a trace of nostalgia flashing in his eyes.
"I hope they never have to experience the pain of separation by death in the future," Lin Moyu silently prayed in his heart.
Lin Moyu walked out of the airport, the sunlight shining on him, and he felt a wave of warmth.
He glanced over and saw that young couple getting into a car.
"As expected of a wealthy family," Lin Moyu thought to himself.
It was obvious that the car had been sent specifically to pick up the couple.
Moreover, the woman picking them up had a very respectful attitude toward the two of them.
Casting aside these thoughts, Lin Moyu prepared to hail a taxi to leave, then switch vehicles to head to Xinxi Mountain.
Suddenly, he thought of something.
"The woman who picked them up just now looked familiar."
The woman who had picked them up just now was a standard Li Zhu Country native, with a large chest and wide hips, and her appearance was also quite stunning.
It was just that her face looked somewhat familiar.
"Someone from the Li Zhu Country Supernatural Research Society!?" Lin Moyu suddenly realized.
He had been searching for information on the Supernatural and had mastered many skills, such as hacking.
He had been constantly searching for information regarding the Supernatural.
He had recently discovered that Li Zhu Country had an official Supernatural Research Society, which was specifically used to study the Supernatural.
Unfortunately, with his skills, he could not steal some of their data, but he had obtained some personnel information about this Supernatural Research Society.
The woman who had picked them up just now was none other than Linda, the deputy team leader of the Supernatural Research Society.
With Linda, a deputy team leader from Li Zhu Country, coming to the airport to pick up two people from Great Xia Country, what kind of noteworthy information could be hidden in this?
Lin Moyu hesitated for a moment and went to the hotel first.
He opened his computer, and a photo of a woman appeared.
"It really is her, Linda."
"What is her relationship with that young couple?"
Lin Moyu suddenly recalled the history the young woman had mentioned, which barely managed to link up with the Supernatural.
"Linda..." Lin Moyu hesitated for a moment and began to check the data.
Half an hour later, Lin Moyu was slightly surprised: "He went to Daxia ten days ago?"
This was worth noting.
However, if he wanted to dig deeper, it would require a lot of time and energy.
The current Lin Moyu clearly did not have this time and energy.
"Go to Xinxi Mountain first; this matter can be marked, and I'll check it later."
Lin Moyu made his decision, but thinking of that young couple, he always felt there was a hint of something unusual about them.
Thinking back on it now, especially that young man, he was just too extraordinary.
Staying in the hotel, Linda brought over quite a few things.
Qi Xueyan also returned to the room next door; it seemed the journey had been too tiring, and she prepared to take a shower and then have dinner with Lin Chao.
Lin Chao looked at the documents Linda had sent over, his gaze calm.
"Moore Family... Great Fiend?"
According to the latest news sent by Linda, that ancestor of the Moore Family claimed to be of the Great Fiend clan and had once mentioned that they possessed the bloodline of the YuanquShixiong, which was incomparably noble.
This reminded Lin Chao of the Ten Fiends Gate in the Extreme North.
The two might have some connection.
The existence of the Ten Fiends Gate was certainly incomparably powerful.
With Lin Chao's current strength, he could not deal with it.
However, if he came into contact with the other party's bloodline, he would have a better understanding of the existence within the Ten Fiends Gate.
For example, what exactly it was.
"This is an item we collected, suspected to have flowed out from the Tyre family; it is one of their family's heirloom treasures," Linda said slowly, holding a piece of iron in her hand.
The Tyre family was also a family with a thousand-year heritage; their ancestors had once been glorious, but now they had declined, and the descendant was merely a manor owner.
Therefore, these heirloom treasures were able to flow out.
Lin Chao took the iron sheet, his gaze profound.
Under his insight, all the information about this iron sheet was exposed to his eyes.
A wisp of Spiritual Qi overflowed from Lin Chao's hand and entered the iron sheet.
Instantly, a streak of flowing light flashed across the iron sheet.
Linda widened her eyes; the scene before her exceeded her expectations.
This was the first time she had seen the legendary Lord Lin Chao take action, so the shock in her heart was imaginable, and her gaze toward Lin Chao changed slightly.
"You can understand this item as a Dharma Artifact.
It can summon strong winds, but it has no real use."
Lin Chao could summon strong winds just by yawning, so this thing was indeed useless.
However, the things behind it were quite interesting.
This iron sheet was different from the Dharma Artifacts of Immortal Cultivation, but it was still a treasure; the reason it could summon wind was because of the patterns inside it.
Linda, however, was very interested.
After all, something like summoning strong winds could accomplish many things and had many practical implications.
"Let us continue talking about this Moore Family," Lin Chao said.
He was not interested in these treasures; what he was most interested in were the Ten Fiends.
"The headquarters of this family is located at Xinxi Mountain; that place has been turbulent recently," Linda mentioned this, her eyes filled with worry. "Xinxi Mountain is the base camp of the Moore Family, and their connections there are very strong; even for us, it is very difficult to reach out there."
This was the truth; the Moore Family were the local tyrants of Xinxi Mountain.
If their forces entered rashly, it was possible that those who entered would inexplicably commit suicide.
Therefore, Linda was very wary of that place.
"Did God Position go to Xinxi Mountain?" Lin Chao asked.
"Yes," Linda replied. "Recently, some incidents occurred at Xinxi Mountain, and Lord God Position went to Xinxi Mountain yesterday."
Immediately after, Linda told Lin Chao about the recent incidents at Xinxi Mountain.
These incidents were the matters of dried corpses and blood stations lacking blood.
"The blood from the blood stations is suspected to have been transported away by people from the Moore Family.
Up until now, we have not investigated why the Moore Family would want to transport the blood away." If such a matter involved the Supernatural, Linda could not make a reasonable inference.
"Hmm, since God Position has gone, then there is no cause for concern."
He could locate the God Position Spear at any time.
If any incidents occurred, he could also rush over in an instant.
Therefore, God Position was likely fine at Xinxi Mountain.
Linda left, and Lin Chao read for a while, feeling quite leisurely.
He had come here this time, of course, to travel and relax his mood.
After all, there was only half a month left until the next reincarnation.
"Lin Chao, let's go, let's go eat." Qi Xueyan had changed into a long dress, looking even more charming and moving.
Seeing beautiful things, Lin Chao's mood improved quite a bit.
The two went to the third floor; this hotel provided dine-in service right on the third floor.
The two sat down, and Qi Xueyan held the menu: "What do you want to eat?"
"Let's have... a tomato pizza," Lin Chao said casually.
"There is no tomato pizza here," Qi Xueyan said, lowering her voice. "Pizza originated in Li Zhu Country, but they only have original flavor pizza here, and they are very opposed to others making strange pizzas.
In our Daxia, quite a few pizzas have been improved."
"Then original flavor pizza it is." Lin Chao smiled; there were always little bits of knowledge in life, and although they were useless, Lin Chao was happy to accept them.
Of course, if this kind of sharing by Qi Xueyan were done by someone else, in a different setting.
Perhaps someone would say... what a show-off.
Some people are always full of malice toward everything in the world, while being inferior and sensitive.
"Where are we going to play tomorrow?" Qi Xueyan asked.
Actually, she had already made quite a few travel plans.
"How about we go to Xinxi Mountain? I heard that Daoshan there is quite interesting," Lin Chao replied.
"Okay." Qi Xueyan smiled.
"Xueyan?" Just at this moment, a voice came over.
A tall woman walked over.
Qi Xueyan looked over, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes: "Aili, what a coincidence."
Qi Xueyan greeted her, then said to Lin Chao: "This is Aili, a classmate I met when I first came here."
Aili looked at Qi Xueyan, then looked at Lin Chao, and shook her head: "Is this your boyfriend? Not fierce enough."
A trace of shyness flashed across Qi Xueyan's face: "No... he is not."
Aili had a smile on her face: "Xueyan, do you remember Jason, whom I told you about last time?"
Qi Xueyan recalled.
She remembered that back when she was at school in Li Zhu Country, this Aili was always by her side, helping that Jason ask her out.
The Qi Xueyan of that time, of course, would not agree and refused every time.
However, it seemed she had also offended Jason.
"What's the matter?" Qi Xueyan asked.
"Jason is on the seventh floor; we are having a party, do you want to come over?" A look of ambiguity flashed in Aili's eyes. "There are many handsome guys at this party, and beauties too; Skali and Youjin are also there, you know."
Skali and Youjin are two stars of Li Zhu Country, relatively popular among young people.
Qi Xueyan also knows these two.
"No," Qi Xueyan refused, "I still have to accompany my friend to go out and have fun."
"Is that so?" Aili invited her a few more times.
However, she was still refused.
Aili was helpless and could only leave.
She carried a pile of drinks and returned to the seventh floor.
Inside the room on the seventh floor, the scene was chaotic, and an obscene atmosphere permeated everywhere.
Youjin and Skali, those handsome man and beautiful woman who looked bright and glamorous in the eyes of Ordinary people, were now like two dogs.
Especially Skali, whose fair skin was covered in red marks at this moment.
In the room, including Aili, there were seven people in total, three men and four women.
Aili looked at Youjin's robust body and joined the battlefield.
"What, Qi Xueyan came here?" A look of greed flashed in Jason's eyes.
He came from a noble background and was used to living a dissolute life.
Even the high-and-mighty stars were just the difference between a male dog and a female dog in his eyes.
Back then, he took down a fairly famous star, but he was a bit too heavy-handed, and that star was eventually forced to commit suicide, wanting to use death to prove her evidence of his crimes.
Unfortunately, it was completely useless.
In the face of power, unless a small person truly spills blood five steps away, using blood as a sacrifice is useless.
At the time, the matter caused a huge stir, but he was completely fine, and his name didn't even appear in that incident; it was that female star's agent who took the fall, though under his maneuvering, they were eventually acquitted.
This is the world of capital.
"Right, she and her boyfriend are just upstairs," Aili said unconsciously.
"Is her boyfriend handsome?" The look of greed in Jason's eyes grew even more intense.
"Quite handsome," Aili understood what Jason meant.
"When night comes... together..." Jason laughed loudly.
This kind of thing, it wasn't like he hadn't done it before.
But the next second, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, as if his whole person had fallen into an ice cellar.
"What's going on?" Jason was puzzled, feeling his body turn cold.
He looked up and immediately saw a young man appear in front of the Gate.
"Who are you?"
"What are you doing?"
The people in the room immediately asked.
Jason picked up the Spear, the coldness on his body dissipated, and he felt his confidence return.
"He... he is Qi Xueyan's boyfriend," Aili recognized the man before her.
How did he suddenly appear?
What did he come to do?
"It's him, he really does look good, even a few degrees more handsome than Youjin," Jason had a playful smile on his face.
In the room, apart from a few stars with dark complexions and despair deep in their eyes, everyone else looked on as if watching a show.
"Do you want to come and join us?" one of the boys issued an invitation.
Lin Chao looked at the people in the room and sighed inwardly.
The filth in the world is truly too much.
He had always preferred to ignore what he did not see.
However, if he were to encounter it, he would not sit idly by.
What's more, this filth was about to spread to him.
"I..." Killing intent flashed in Lin Chao's eyes.
"You want to kill me?" Jason was slightly stunned, then laughed loudly, "Do you know who I am? Even the governor has to give me some face when he sees me."
He held the Spear but did not fire.
Law is what the ruling class uses to rule the ruled.
Someone with his status naturally exists outside the law.
Moreover, there is no death penalty in the laws of Li Zhu Country.
Even if he were caught, he would be fearless.
Aili also had a smile in her eyes: "This handsome guy, you offended Young Master Jason; as long as you call Xueyan over and the two of you come to apologize together, I believe Young Master Jason will forgive you."
As for how exactly this apology would be made, it was easy to imagine.
Lin Chao looked at Jason and sighed slightly in his heart.
He had always treated the Main World as his own private reserve and was unwilling to change too much.
However, things always went against his wishes.
Lin Chao looked at the few people standing there, his gaze calm, and he did not waste any more words.
With a wave of his hand, several heads fell to the ground.
"Ah!"
Screams rang out.
The faces of those still alive showed expressions of fear, and some even showed expressions of relief.
Lin Chao looked toward the woman among them who revealed a sense of relief; that woman was Skali.
At this moment, Skali was not wearing a single thread, her entire body covered in wounds, her appearance miserable.
Lin Chao stepped forward and said, "May I take a drop of your blood?"
Lin Chao discovered that the iron piece he had obtained today seemed to have some connection to this woman.
This woman perhaps possessed the bloodline of the Tail Family.
Skali was slightly stunned, but in the end, she nodded: "Alright."
