Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 961 - 28: Do you still want Shen Qingxi to break the defense?

The first case of the New Year for the Nantong District Police Bureau Special Service Section involved capturing two criminal suspects and seizing one magic prop.

The rookie newcomers dining at the police station cafeteria for the first time looked utterly exhausted yet exhilarated, as if they had saved the world.

In some sense, they indeed had saved the world.

The old vampire set up his sandbox scenario to be incredibly realistic, complete with mountains, rivers, and various villager NPCs and Demon King army monsters, looking exactly like a real Otherworld.

Song Lili found the game very entertaining, with a superb experience, so she didn’t use her word-of-law power. She simply followed Yang Tianyu and the others, slaying monsters and leveling up, thoroughly enjoying the game.

Unexpectedly, the old vampire couldn’t handle it and called for cheats to be used.

It’s inevitable. Horror movies must highlight a sense of despair where the weak have no means to resist.

The village raised a millennium-old zombie, terrifying indeed, and even the monk who came seemed unable to handle it.

But if there’s a monkey following the monk, then all the scary atmosphere is lost.

Following the monk are not only the monkey but also a lecherous pig and a lazy dragon...

"I have nothing to say to you,"

The old vampire, locked inside the holding cell, still didn’t realize his predicament and maintained an inexplicable sense of superiority. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Do you think these handcuffs can hold me?"

Of course, they can’t. It’s not that he didn’t want to resist; he was simply too beaten by Wang Ying to have any strength left, lying on the ground like a dead dog to be picked up by Wang Yunxiao.

Now, having regained some strength, he felt he was up to it again.

"Those handcuffs are obviously not for you. We have special tools for dealing with folks like you."

Chen Yuguang, the Deputy Section Chief of the Special Service Section responsible for the interrogation, opened the box beside him.

Inside lay neatly arranged silvery white stainless steel nails, each as thick as a finger and thirty centimeters long.

This is a sealing device issued by the Special Service Bureau this year specifically for special criminal suspects.

It was given a lovely name, called "Heart-Piercing Nails."

"Can we talk?"

The old vampire’s face changed slightly as he looked at the Heart-Piercing Nails before him.

"Isn’t this a bit inhumane?"

"That’s why I asked if we can talk. If you can’t even speak human language, why talk about humanity with you?"

"I want to see your commanding officer."

"Seems like there’s nothing to talk about. Come! Hold him down!"

Several burly men stepped forward and pressed the old vampire down firmly.

"Wait! What are you doing? Do you know who I am?"

"First, gag him!"

Chen Yuguang pulled out a Heart-Piercing Nail and placed it over an alcohol lamp to heat it slightly, aiming under the old vampire’s ribs: "Relax! Take it easy! This is my first time using this thing too, so please bear with any shortcomings in my hospitality."

"Mmm? Mmmmmm—"

In another interrogation room separated by a wall, Shen Qingxi was holding an identical Heart-Piercing Nail, looking at the girl in front of her, who looked exactly like herself inside and out, with a smile that wasn’t a smile.

"I, personally, actually have the biggest weakness in my feet and am most afraid of others tickling them. If you are a perfect replica, you’ve surely retained this weakness as well, haven’t you?"

The girl handcuffed forced herself to remain calm and said, "You’re not an official, so what right do you have to interrogate me? I can confess honestly, but I have nothing to say to you."

"Oh?"

Shen Qingxi exclaimed with surprise: "You even know such things? Now I’m even more curious; who exactly are you? Since you know me so well, you must know in your heart that I must have paid enough of a price to talk to you here alone."

"Commander Wang gave me ten minutes. Do you guess whether I have the means to deal with you in these ten minutes?"

The girl fell silent.

Because of her understanding, she clearly knew that Shen Qingxi wasn’t just making empty threats.

This woman has always been ruthless in her actions.

"I am Shen Qingxi."

"You still harbor naive fantasies. Let’s do something a bit more thrilling then."

"No, I’m not lying. I am Shen Qingxi. You are not."

The girl seriously said while staring into Shen Qingxi’s eyes, "You know in your heart that you are merely an outsider and not from the Shen Family bloodline!"

Shen Qingxi disdained, "The Shen Family is ruined, so why mention the Shen Family? You say I’m an outsider, yet you imitate me! Dressed in mourning clothes like a widow?"

She criticized others mercilessly, leaving even herself not spared, making the girl unable to respond.

Why aren’t you following the script?

Seeing the disbelief on the girl’s face, Shen Qingxi sneered, "Do you really think you can shake my state of mind with the emotional card? I care about the Shen Family, sure, but hasn’t it been forever since? Is there anything new besides such old tricks?"

She gripped the Heart-Piercing Nail in her hand, viciously thrusting it toward the girl’s chest.

The girl screamed and blood splattered, turning back into her true form amid the struggle.

This was a Succubi.

To be precise, a half-blood Succubi.

"You call me a fake? Yet you’re not even considered a fake."

Wiping the blood splattered on her face, Shen Qingxi shook her head and sighed, "An inferior copy, good for nothing besides looks. Even if you learned a third of my skills, it would at least do justice to the name Shen Qingxi."

"Tell me, who told you to impersonate me?"

Wang Yunxiao stood outside the interrogation room, silently putting away his notebook.

Another failed case of moral blackmail.

And a typical Demon modus operandi.

What’s called Demon modus operandi?

Precisely exploiting mental loopholes.

The more unwilling you are to recall something, the more he forces you to recall it, jumping repeatedly on your black history, rubbing salt in the wound.

Commonly seen in early Hollywood film and television works where villains torment the righteous protagonist, like taking a hostage randomly, so the protagonist comes forth empty-handed to brawl with the villain, and the like.

Later, as it didn’t quite align with the native customs, they gradually disappeared.

The tacit precondition of this tactic is the opponent’s moral awareness and internal sensitivity.

As for Shen Qingxi... Which word is she associated with?

"She doesn’t say it, but inside, she still cares about the Shen Family a lot."

Mumu whispered.

Demons never shoot without aim, just checking if your heart is strong enough.

Unfortunately, before Qingxi transmigrated, the Shen Family was already rotten to the core. Shen Jianzhen had signed a contract with a demon, along with the entire family, selling their souls. And since Shen Qingxi was a transmigrator, not tethered by said contract, she was thus viewed as an outcast in the eyes of the Shen Family.

Perhaps Shen Jianzhen still harbored additional hopes for her, like attempting to seek a path of survival for the Shen Family via her being an unbound loophole to the contract... But with him dead, whether he harbored this thought is unprovable.

The Shen Family she perceived merely existed within her imagination.
