Chapter 1698: This is a Turn of Events

"You don't have much time?" Chuan Naizi gave a cold snort. "If you don't have time, why did you follow me here?"

"I came over because I feel like something is about to happen here," Chen Yu said, shaking his head. "I was afraid your life wouldn't be safe here, so I followed."

"Chen Yu, at a time like this, are you still going to joke with me?" Chuan Naizi was so angry she stomped her feet; she felt that Chen Yu was doing this on purpose.

"Do I look like I'm joking with you?"

Chen Yu said with a straight face, "Look at your police station, gusts of cold wind are blowing; it seems many departed souls have died here, and the resentment is very heavy. Honestly, have you never had any strange occurrences happen here?"

Chen Yu's tone was eerie, and this serious demeanor made Chuan Naizi involuntarily recall various past events at the police station, which made her shiver uncontrollably.

"Looking at your expression, I'd say there's an eighty percent chance something has happened," Chen Yu said with a faint smile. "I say there is a Ghost here; do you believe me?"

"Chen Yu..." Chuan Naizi stomped her feet in anger. She raged, "Don't talk nonsense! This is a police station. Our Detectives are all filled with righteous energy; I don't believe such things could happen."

"Oh? So you in Fusang also believe in things like righteous energy?" Chen Yu couldn't help but sneer. "I always thought you did whatever you pleased. You believe in Karma, right?"

"I believe a little." Chuan Naizi nodded; she didn't understand what Chen Yu meant.

"Believing a little is enough," Chen Yu said calmly. "In this world, there is actually still Karma. Perhaps you don't have any, but that doesn't mean other Detectives haven't done things against their conscience. Because the resentment and yin energy in this place of yours is very heavy, if nothing unexpected happened, many people must have been wrongly put to death here, right?"

"No, don't talk nonsense." Chuan Naizi shook her head in denial.

"Over there," Chen Yu pointed in one direction. "That's the interrogation room, right? If I'm not mistaken, a month ago, a woman died in that place."

Chuan Naizi's face turned slightly pale. Chen Yu was absolutely right; a month ago, a girl had indeed died in that place.

"Don't deny it. She was wearing a red dress when she died, and her resentment was very heavy, right?" Chen Yu sneered. "In our Huaxia, there is a saying: if a person dies wearing bright red clothes, they will become a Ghost."

"Although this is just a legend, it is not without basis. If it were just her alone, that would be one thing, but there are simply too many wronged souls in this place of yours. The resentment has reached a critical point, and her death ignited this critical point."

Chen Yu slowly stood up and said calmly, "All the resentment has been injected into that girl's body. She has now come into her own; it is no exaggeration to call her a Human Ghost King."

"Chen Yu... you, are you telling the truth?" Chuan Naizi's tone began to lose its composure; she looked at Chen Yu, trembling.

"Of course it's true, so you need to tell me the truth," Chen Yu sighed slightly and said. "Some things are meaningless to avoid."

"Fine, I'll tell you the truth." Chuan Naizi hesitated for a moment, but she decided to tell the truth.

Chen Yu was right; not every Detective in this place possessed a sense of justice like Chuan Naizi.

As early as a month ago, several big men got drunk and broke into the home of a girl from the red-light district, taking turns assaulting her.

However, during the assault, they met with the girl's fierce resistance, and one of the men was scratched, so in a fit of rage, they brought the girl to the police station.

Because the leader of the drunks had a father who was a police inspector here—the kind with real power—they acted unscrupulously and humiliated the girl in the interrogation room.

During the hour-long interrogation, the girl suffered endless torture, and in the end, she could no longer bear the endless humiliation and chose to commit suicide.

She was indeed wearing a red dress that day. After the incident blew up, that inspector was suspended, but he found a scapegoat for his son, and the matter was left unsettled.

Moreover, the Detective named Murakami has been reinstated today. His first day is the night shift, and he is already on his way to work now.

"You didn't know the truth about this?" Chen Yu stared at Chuan Naizi.

"I knew, but Murakami Ye has people behind him, so..."

"So the matter was just left unsettled? Miss Chuan Naizi, please don't put on such a self-righteous act in front of me in the future." Chen Yu stared at her and said, "There are some things you clearly know, yet you don't strive to change them."

Chuan Naizi stopped talking, because she did indeed feel guilty about this matter. Although it didn't start because of her, she had watched it happen and was powerless to stop it.

"I have been working hard. Please rest assured, sooner or later, I will bring him to justice. But I don't have real evidence yet, and I won't sit idly by regarding this matter," Chuan Naizi said.

"Don't give me that useless talk. Right now, I only know that the murderer is still at large, and with Murakami Ye reinstated, his son will continue to act as an accomplice to the wicked," Chen Yu sneered.

"Chen Yu, this requires a process. Believe me, I have never given up on this matter," Chuan Naizi said.

"Tell that to the girl," Chen Yu said as he stood up. "Since Murakami Ye is coming, he won't be leaving today."

"What do you want to do? Chen Yu, I warn you, don't you dare act recklessly." Chuan Naizi was startled; she thought Chen Yu was going to hurt someone inside the police station.

"It's not a matter of me acting recklessly or not anymore," Chen Yu chuckled. "It's that the victimized girl's anger has become a Barrier. As soon as her enemy steps into the police station, this place will become an Empty Domain—an Empty Domain created by her."

"Do you know what this means? It means you will be cut off from the world. In this Domain, she will be like a god. When that time comes, many people here will die," Chen Yu said.

"Is everything you said true?" Chuan Naizi revealed a look of terror; she could see that Chen Yu was definitely not joking with her.

"I have no mood to joke with you right now. Either you leave before Murakami Ye and his son enter the door, or you die here with them." Chen Yu stood up and said, "Sorry, there is really too much muddy water in your Fusang, and I don't want to wade through it."

"Chen Yu, what are you going to do? Are you leaving?" Chuan Naizi was startled. She spread her arms and blocked Chen Yu's path. "You are not allowed to leave."
