Chapter 0009: Reporting a Case

but directly rode a shared bicycle to the city police station

Wei Yuan originally believed that he would have to go through some setbacks in order to have a chance of gaining the trust of the police

After further modifications, the muscular man presented the revised sketch to Wei Yuan, which bore over eighty percent resemblance to that in his dream. This involuntarily reminded Wei Yuan of the eerie and chilling atmosphere from his dream. He nodded and said, "It's about right."

... ...

By identifying the source of this emotion, there is an opportunity to weaken the malevolent spirit and take the chance to subdue and eliminate it

When ghostly beings and fairies appear, individuals like us also come into existence

Xuan Yi thought for a moment, then took out a talisman and handed it to Wei Yuan

Take good care of yourself and forget about such matters. Although your presence is helpful in searching for spirits, we also have to divert our attention to protect you. To put it bluntly, you are a burden and will slow us down. I hope you understand

It may also be for this reason, combined with the news of the murder, that a real nightmare was created

It has disappeared

Wei Yuan slightly raised his head, and over there Zhao Yi patted his shoulder, smiling and saying

Zhou Yi's eyes glimmered slightly as she stood up and said

Undoubtedly, in a major case involving a murder, the body and records could not possibly remain at the street police station. Moreover, Wei Yuan is also speculating that since there are malevolent spirits harming people, and the world remains so peaceful, there must be a force that restrains these supernatural entities

His voice paused for a moment, and he said with a hint of jest:

Wei Yuan's voice paused for a moment as he took out the black pouch and gently placed it on the table. Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow and said

Captain, based on his experiences, there have been no recent opportunities for contact with ghostly entities. From the trajectory of his travels, it is evident that he has not visited any dangerous areas, leading us to reasonably conclude that he has not been entangled by malevolent spirits. However, he previously resided near the Fuchun Community, which raises the possibility of being entangled by negative energy.

Zhou Yi slightly nodded her head

There are still dried bloodstains inside the shoe.

Only the swift sound of Xuan Yi sketching can be heard

Is that so

Can you speak? Saying this in front of someone? I apologize

With calm eyes fixed on Wei Yuan in front, I listened attentively. In the end, I nodded slightly and inquired:

The crisp sound of high heels striking the floor can be heard clearly by my ear

Of course, it cannot be completely ruled out that he is indeed being tormented by evil spirits. However, generally speaking, if one encounters evil spirits, their mental state should be more sensitive and depressed than it is now, and they would begin to exhibit mild neurotic symptoms, not remaining as calm as they are at present, nor speaking with such clarity.

The two men accompanying Zhou Yi were investigating the information. If Wei Yuan were present, he would be able to see that it was indeed his personal data, as well as the places he had visited recently. After a quick glance, one of the men pressed his earphone and said

After the disciples from the two sects arrived, they directly inquired about the specifics of Wei Yuan's earlier dream. The Taoist disciple named Xuan Yi even took out a sketch pad and quickly sketched the attic from his dream, along with the cold locust tree and the stone well, based on what Wei Yuan had described.

Zhou Yi pulled over a stool and sat in front of Wei Yuan, holding a document in her hand, which she casually set aside, smiling: "I just had a cigarette, so there might be a bit of smoke smell, hope you don't mind"

Wei Yuan's gaze swept over the Bluetooth headset on the woman's left ear, and he nodded slightly

Inside the cardboard box lies a pair of red embroidered shoes with gold embellishments, strikingly enchanting

However, after a while, two more people appeared in front of Wei Yuan

Hello, I am Zhao Yi, a disciple of the Weiming Sect

Wei Yuan seemed to be deep in thought and took the opportunity to ask:

If not, perhaps other methods of identification may be required

It's okay

This item, the colleague just mentioned, is it something very important that you do not allow him to touch

He did not go to the nearest police station

... ...

In the small room, only Wei Yuan remained, along with a table and a water dispenser

Xuan nodded slightly and set the pen aside

So, does the courtyard in the dream help in subduing the malevolent spirits

Special Operations Group, Zhou Yi

Yes, the Inspector of the Capital, formerly known as the Crouching Tiger, suppressed the demons of the world from the Han Wudi to the Sui and Tang dynasties

The matters that follow are not a world that an ordinary person like you should be involved in

As for the souls that have become vengeful spirits, they were once human, constantly subjected to intense negative emotions that surpass the concept of humanity, one could say that their existence is worse than death. Therefore, both Buddhism and Taoism refer to this act as transcendence.

It is not an evil spirit, but a vengeful spirit

Xuan glanced at him, nodded slightly, and took out a talisman

Upon arriving at the police station, Wei Yuan saw a striking all-black car among a group of police vehicles

Moments later, the sound of her teammate panting came through Zhou Yi's Bluetooth headset

Especially the hand holding the bag, it is no different from being immersed in ice.

Then place it on the table, and after opening it, push it towards Zhou Yi

Standing in a place specifically used to seal off corpses harmed by ghostly entities, the disciple of the Ming Sect, with muscles tensed, gazed at the woman's twisted feet, as well as the freezer that had never been opened and the outer door, and said:

Then there was a period of silence

Wei Yuan said calmly: "If he had seen it, perhaps it would not be me having nightmares today, but him instead"

Leaning against the wall, he held his sword and waited until the hour of the rabbit had passed. By then, dawn had broken. Only then did he tuck the Huyao waist token into his pocket and pick up the bag containing the red embroidered shoes and severed hair to report the case. Outside, it was a sunny day, with warm sunlight, yet he still felt a bit of chill in his hands and feet

After Wei Yuan woke up, he did not fall asleep again

Han

The two men monitoring the room suddenly changed their expressions, and one of them abruptly stood up and rushed out.

You may go back and rest

One minute later, the door was pushed open, and a short-haired woman dressed in a women's suit walked in. She had a well-proportioned figure, with a remarkable curve at her waist, and the faint scent of women's perfume lingered on her white shirt. Her eyes scanned the room and she extended her hand towards Wei Yuan

It can serve as a protective charm

Wei Yuandao: "So early?"

Zhou Yi nodded

Wei Yuan signed a confidentiality agreement, ensuring that he would not speak indiscreetly. After watching those people leave, he finally returned home. It is certainly advantageous to have someone else handle this matter, as the official forces are undoubtedly much stronger than he is.

Wei Yuan

... ...

In the face of such irrefutable evidence, there is no doubt that Wei Yuan's words have received due attention

... ...

Hello, I would like to file a report

Xuan nodded slightly and fell silent again

She did not handle it according to her companions' advice

The young police officer was taken aback for a moment and said, "Hmm? May I ask..."

The basic principle of a vengeful spirit is the amplification of intense negative emotions, which are strongly aligned with certain celestial and earthly energies. When these negative emotions reach their peak and resonate with the corresponding external forces, they become increasingly potent and exceedingly malevolent

Holding a sword in one's arms

When Wei Yuan shared the dream he had with the woman before him

According to past experience, he is more suited to being a psychologist than to exorcising demons and capturing ghosts

Not yet finished, Zhao Yi raised his head over there, his tone slightly elevated, and said: "Found it, Captain, it is the theater in the former Jiangnan Road, a place for singing operas, it seems that a few famous performers have emerged from there, and there have been incidents in the past, which led to its closure"

The white satin, surrounded by tall wooden buildings, allows one to only look up and see a patch of sky in the courtyard.

Let us go to Jiangnan

Today, I spent the entire day filing a report, and after returning home, I was busy tidying up the house

I see now

Zhou Yi said: "After all, don't ghosts also exist?"

This is the reason why China is able to suppress the malevolent spirits so effectively. After modern technology locates their positions, disciples from the Daoist and Buddhist sects will carry specialized tools to directly and accurately eliminate them. After a moment of silence, Wei Yuan thought for a while and said: "I never expected that there are indeed people like you who exist"

However, for some unknown reason, after he finished speaking about being haunted by a ghost, the police officer looked at him strangely, then made a phone call to inquire about someone. After that, he took him to a room, poured him a glass of plain water, and simply told him to wait a moment before leaving.

Without paying any attention, I walked straight in, found the police, and spoke up decisively.

Wei Yuan wrapped his hands around the paper cup, letting out a slight sigh of relief. From the police's reaction, there is no doubt that they are aware of the existence of spirits; at least the personnel in this police station are informed. This also signifies that beneath the seemingly calm and peaceful world, there exists another realm that is unknown to the majority of people

Wei Yuan took a sip of water

Wei Yuan nodded and reached into his pocket to take out a paper box

As evening approached and it was time to rest, Wei Yuan affixed one of the talismans to the head of the bed and another at the entrance.

There is a ghost that wants to harm me

Apart from your dreams, are there any other signs?

Zhou Yi nodded: "After all, our history can be traced back to the first person who dared to draw a sword against demons and ghosts. However, to be truly accurate, the first and most powerful official force for capturing demons and slaying ghosts was established during the Han Dynasty."

It is, at first, a dream. I dreamt of a small building, and then a courtyard with a locust tree. That woman was sitting beside the stone well, looking at me

Only then can one sleep peacefully

The iron gate here could not suppress her, and the talismans above seemed to have no effect on her either

I also closed the door when I went out

What?!

Zhao Yi's face twitched, and he nudged Xuan Yi with his elbow, lowering his voice and saying

Wei Ming Sect, with the Daoist name Xuan Yi

Wei Yuan couldn't help but smile a little, yet he still took the second talisman and said

It is alright

Hmm, you said you encountered a ghost

Zhao Yi took the painting and began to access the database to search for locations that corresponded with Wei Yuan's dream.

Zhou Yi's gaze fell, and then her expression froze

I just reviewed your statement

Zhou Yi habitually lit a cigarette, noticed that Wei Yuan was still present, smiled apologetically, extinguished the cigarette, and explained: "Evil spirits differ from ordinary wandering souls, as well as from vengeful spirits and malevolent ghosts; they generally possess high levels of cultivation and have experienced different circumstances. Engaging them directly is not a wise course of action"
