Chapter 175: Chapter 158: Though He Lost Love, He Gained a Zhu Ganglie

Just as everyone was stunned.

The beauty pulled out a remote control from her bag and pressed a button.

In an instant, red candles, plush handcuffs, pink mouth balls, small spiked whips, black bandages, lace eye masks, cat ear headbands, indescribable plugs...

All started making noise!

Pure music sounds mixed together, forming a band, echoing throughout the room.

The viewers in the live stream were all blown away.

"Walt? What the hell kind of sound is this?"

"No, dude... Who would add electronic music features to these fun items? The designer must be a brute."

"Well-made adult toys, aren’t you afraid that when you’re excited, the music suddenly starts up and ruins everything?"

...

Not only the viewers in the live stream, but the police officers at the scene also felt chills down their spines.

Officer Xiaoli steadied himself and with difficulty asked: "Ma’am... comrade, did he just attempt anything improper towards you?"

The tears in the beauty’s eyes had long disappeared, replaced by a calm demeanor, she spoke lightly: "No, these two gentlemen have always been over there, they never bullied me."

"Then on you... this..." Officer Xiaoli pointed at her outfit, stammering.

"Oh, this? It’s local customs, I specially learned and brought it back. If you don’t believe, you can test the fingerprints on these, they’re all mine."

After she finished.

The whole room fell silent, everyone’s CPUs were fried.

Local customs?

These seasoned veterans who have been surfing the web for so long, are they unaware of this?

Officer Xiaoli turned with difficulty, the wealthy lady hugged Li Xiao’Er with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, and said: "Officer, these are experts I specially invited from Thailand, see if they’re worth it."

Officer Xiaoli remained silent, as did the other officers present.

Is worth the question here?

The issue is, isn’t this too bizarre?

At this moment, the leader of the bodyguards suddenly barged in, looking at Officer Xiaoli, and said solemnly:

"I report myself. I thought with such loud noises and words like death or kill, there was something wrong, which is why I called the police. I didn’t expect it to be a misunderstanding, arrest me, fine me, shoot me."

Shoot your sister!

Officer Xiaoli cursed mentally, then announced the team would stand down, taking the bodyguard leader.

Boom!

Don’t look at the bodyguard leader being rugged, but his choice of words left Li Xiao’Er feeling blindsided.

The noise in the room was too loud, as a proactive citizen, isn’t it natural to call the police to check?

Even if it’s a misunderstanding, he may just do a report and be released without charges, maybe even be praised verbally.

All loopholes were thoroughly sealed, forming a closed loop.

Inside the loop lay the heartbroken Li Xiao’Er.

Li Xiao’Er had lifeless eyes, hugged tightly by someone intimately, while netizens found it somewhat amusing, but... emotions were indeed mixed.

"You know, while he lost love, he gained wealth!"

"Yeah, who can disagree! But is this the right choice? Imagining living like this daily with a pig, even acting intimately, makes me want to puke."

"It can be said that earning this money is difficult; if he can earn it, it’s his skill, I’m not jealous."

"Though I envy him a bit, I also want to laugh, hahaha."

As the sound of police sirens faded, today’s joy came to an end.

Ning An hurriedly said a few words and closed the stream, returning to the Daoist Temple.

...

From the foot of the mountain to Changchun Temple, if you take the official road, it’s about seven or eight miles.

If traveling light, a normal person would take two to three hours to get up; for backpackers carrying tents and sleeping bags, taking a car is more practical.

Ning An reached the foot of the mountain and coincidentally caught the tourist bus, sat by the window.

The three men and two women on the bus were all from Y City, their faces marked by distinct wrinkles, each achieving successful careers, passionate about traveling, chattering lively.

"Handsome, are you here for hiking or for praying?" asked a middle-aged woman.

"Both, heard their prayers are effective, and the scenery is nice, coming for a stroll." Ning An smiled in response.

"I see you didn’t bring a tent or sleeping bag, I guessed it. This Hushan is quite famous, nice scenery plus the recent surge of Changchun Temple, it might soon become a ticketed scenic area." The middle-aged woman laughed.

"Haha, let them charge, the official road will be closed, we’ll take the lesser-known path on the east side." A big brother laughed heartily.

Ning An was startled, asking: "Then this time you guys..."

"Because Changchun Temple exploded in popularity recently, we’re going to pay respects. Heard the Little Daoist there is strikingly handsome, going to see what’s up." The big brother chuckled slyly.

"Hehehe..."

Ning An inadvertently turned his head, burying his face into a blind spot.

"Hell!"

At this moment, a buddy playing on his phone yelled, browsed a news-like site, saying: "Shit! Isn’t this obvious, what’s the debate? Murder for sure, it took so long to classify, today’s cops are a bunch of useless loafers!"

"Today’s Celestial Eye is everywhere, it’s been almost a week, not even a trace seen." The big brother chimed in.

"I also find it absurd, four people are dead, death’s so brutal, yet the police didn’t solve it immediately, it’s bizarre."

They jabbered, Ning An became curious, leaned in, asking: "What murder case?"

"Our Y City, probably last week, four people died, death was particularly cruel."

"Decapitation, heart gouging, disembowelment, really unimaginable murderers in this age."

"Can’t say that, perhaps these developers incited wrath? Heard one Daoist Master was driven to death when the construction started..."

As they spoke, the guy on his phone looked up: "I have a buddy in the police station, on duty that day, he said when he arrived, he almost threw up, the scene... he hopes never to encounter again." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

He gestured exaggeratedly, clicking his tongue: "You wouldn’t believe, one had half of his head gone, red and white everywhere, like a bear swatted him..."

"Come on, if it were a bear, a creature that big would have been found immediately, not waiting until now."

"Can’t something have mutated? Like Spiritual Qi Revival, or Cthulhu zombies, hahahaha."

"You better hope for Spiritual Qi Revival, true Cthulhu zombies, the world’s style would be far from pretty."

The phone buddy’s remarks sparked a round of teasing, as it was too far-fetched, more so than controlled nuclear fusion widely applied in the community.

Ning An turned to look out the window, seeing caution and doubt in his eyes.

These people knew about the murder case, but are unaware of what’s behind it.

They don’t seem to be boasting aimlessly, if true, then the world really is in for it.
