Chapter 1577: Self-Inflicted Trouble

~7 min read 1,299 words

Chen Yu felt helpless; it seemed one shouldn't watch the excitement so casually. Look at this, he had just taken a glance by the street and brought all this trouble upon himself. If he had known it would be like this, why would he have crowded over here?

Off to the side, Chuan Naizi had a police officer take out a pen and began to question him: "May I ask what your name is?"

"Chen Yu."

The Detective who was taking notes paused. He couldn't understand Chen Yu's words, so he picked up a voice recorder and began to record.

"What did you come here to do?" Chuan Naizi asked again.

"Tourism." Chen Yu spat out the two words simply and bluntly.

"Be specific." Chuan Naizi frowned slightly, her expression somewhat serious.

"Just tourism, coming over to relax. You know, a certain industry in your local area is quite developed," Chen Yu said with a straight face.

Chuan Naizi cast a cold glance at Chen Yu, holding back her anger. She naturally knew which industry in her local area was developed.

This was also a way for the local area to attract outside tourists. Although she was very angry that the government deliberately relaxed control in this regard, she still held back her anger; after all, what the other party said was a fact.

After asking Chen Cong a few more questions, she felt that Chen Yu didn't seem to have any problems, so she said: "You are from out of town. Regardless of your purpose, you must abide by the local laws and regulations while you are here."

"Tell these words to your ancestors. When they went to Huaxia, did they abide by Huaxia's rules?" Chen Yu glanced at her.

"You..." Chuan Naizi was furious. She raised her head, about to lose her temper, but had no way to vent it; after all, what Chen Yu said was also a fact.

She had no choice but to suppress the anger in her heart and said: "I will not comment on historical issues, but I feel deeply apologetic for the actions of my ancestors."

Chen Yu looked at her in surprise. Many Fusang people didn't face historical issues at all. The woman before him could take the initiative to admit it; she was indeed different from others.

"Fine, you are one of the few people who can face their own nation's history," Chen Yu looked at her and said: "Just for this, I can tell you: if your superiors don't use special power, more people here will die."

"What do you mean?" Chuan Naizi was slightly stunned, looking at Chen Yu in confusion.

"That person has no heart," Chen Yu pointed at the female corpse and said: "If I'm not mistaken, there is a kind of monster in your Fusang legends that specializes in eating human hearts, known as the Heart-Eating Ghost."

"You mean that person was attacked by a Heart-Eating Ghost?" Chuan Naizi was shocked: "How do you know? You have to be responsible for what you said."

"Then I'd better not say it, so as not to bring trouble upon myself," Chen Yu withdrew his hand: "Just pretend I didn't say anything just now."

"Chuan Naizi, this person has no heart," just at this moment, the female forensic doctor straightened up and stated her autopsy results in shock.

"What?" Chuan Naizi was shocked. She turned around and looked at Chen Yu seriously: "What else do you know? You are coming back to the police station with me immediately to clarify all your issues."

"Look, I've already brought trouble upon myself," Chen Yu said helplessly: "Are detectives all over the world the same? I'm just a bystander who happened to know a few things. In your eyes, have I become a criminal?"

"No one said you are a criminal; I just want you to explain clearly what you know," Chuan Naizi said in a deep voice: "I hope you can cooperate."

"I can't cooperate," Chen Yu shook his head and said: "This matter has nothing to do with me. I was just kindly reminding you that the Demon has awakened. If your high-level officials do nothing and do not intervene, more people will die in the future."

"And regarding the national issue, no matter how many people die here, I won't have the slightest pity. I am not a citizen of your place, and I have no obligation to cooperate with you."

"As long as you are in our country, you have an obligation to cooperate with all our work," Chuan Naizi stretched out her hand, and a pair of handcuffs were already revealed: "Now, come back with me."

"Wait until you catch me first," Chen Yu gave her a deep look, then turned and left. With one step, he was already several yards away in an instant.

"Stop!" Chuan Naizi shouted. She took off running to chase him, but as an ordinary person, no matter how fast she ran, how could she catch up with Chen Yu?

Chen Yu only took a few steps, turned, entered a shopping mall, and disappeared without a trace.

"Bastard, I will definitely find you." Chuan Naizi stopped, panting. She glared hatefully in the direction where Chen Yu had disappeared, then gritted her teeth and turned toward another direction.

Once inside the mall, Chen Yu looked back and knew that the other party hadn't caught up, so he strolled through the mall with peace of mind.

Finally, he arrived at a coffee shop. Just as he sat down and ordered a cup of coffee, a figure flashed, and a pair of angry and quite stressful eyes came from the side.

Chen Yu was slightly stunned and looked back in surprise along those eyes, only to see Chuan Naizi standing to one side, staring at him coldly.

"How did you find me?" Chen Yu smiled awkwardly; he hadn't managed to dodge her after all.

"I have lived in this place since I was a child, and my perception is relatively strong, so I can basically determine where you will go and which exit you will come out of," Chuan Naizi smiled slightly: "In a word, you cannot escape my sight."

"I should have just left; I shouldn't have given you the chance to act," Chen Yu shook his head helplessly: "Fine, since you've chased me down, tell me what you want to do. The deaths of those people really have nothing to do with me, and you can't accept the things I said."

"The Heart-Eating Ghost you mentioned is too shocking for me. As a Detective, it is impossible for me to believe such nonsense from you," Chuan Naizi couldn't help but glance at Chen Yu and said: "So I hope you can answer truthfully."

"This is my truthful answer. After that corpse of yours is taken back, it will turn into a pile of ash on the fifth day. This is because when the Heart-Eating Ghost injured her, her body had already been eroded by Dark Power, and after she dies, she will still be controlled by the Heart-Eating Ghost and wander around," Chen Yu said: "If you don't believe my explanation, there's nothing I can do."

"After a person dies, they will wander around?" Chuan Naizi was shocked. The news Chen Yu mentioned made her feel incomparably shocked. She couldn't imagine how a dead person could still wander around.

"This is the consequence of being controlled by the Heart-Eating Ghost. Generally speaking, this kind of awakened thing has weak Primordial Qi, so they need to supplement it, and humans or blood-food are the best things for them to supplement with. When they supplement to a certain amount, their Primordial Qi will recover, and they will become abnormally powerful," Chen Yu said.
