Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 524: Chapter 259: Can You Really Do Anything? (Part 3)

Yu Siyi’s face showed a bit of panic, as if she had a bad premonition, but she still agreed: ”As long as it’s your request, I will do it.”

Lu Langfeng took out a brush from his personal space and said with a smile:

”No need to be nervous, it’s just a small request, something you can easily do. Those are matters for later, for now, we should cause some trouble for the Management Bureau.”

Lu Langfeng waved the brush, and among the prisoners on the underground fifth floor, apart from Yu Siyi, eight people stood up as if they had been instructed.

Including Xie Wei, who had been in a coma, also opened his eyes, got up as if sleepwalking, and faced the wall.

Under Lu Langfeng’s command, the group began drawing complex runes on the wall. As the rune traces appeared, fragments of the painting attached to them, which had been infiltrated into the Management Bureau’s underground, flickered with different colors in various corners of the fifth floor.

If Wu Chang were present, he could see that each color corresponded to an emotion.

The light of the painting extended, intertwining with each other to form a giant picture.

All of this was exposed under the surveillance cameras, yet the two guards seemed unable to see, staring blankly at the wall, chatting with each other.

At this time, Zhao Yan had just returned to the bureau in a ride-hailing car. When he ran to the bureau chief’s office, Chief Gao was discussing the evening dinner with Lei Huo, figuring out how to please the bigwig to get them to help.

The upcoming bigwig from the Abyss Second Layer was a member of the Evolution Sect, different factions, making it difficult to establish connections.

Chief Gao was from humble beginnings and could only hope Lei Huo had broad connections, to use resources to find out the bigwig’s preferences.

Once, he scoffed at social niceties, but now he wished to study frame by frame from videos. Without relying on the connections within the Management Bureau and Lei Huo’s worldly wisdom, and just based on real skills, the bigwig might not even be interested in entering Wanghai City.

Seeing Zhao Yan rush in, Chief Gao asked, ”Weren’t you with Wu Chang just now? Why are you back so soon, is there progress in the case?”

Zhao Yan took out his phone, placing the prepared information before Chief Gao, summarizing the scenes photographed at Yu Siyi’s home and the list of victim corpses in the dossier.

While Chief Gao flipped through the materials, Zhao Yan narrated Wu Chang’s speculations on the side.

After listening, Chief Gao’s expression turned solemn; if he were shown only this intel, he wouldn’t find it too strange, but if Wu Chang said there was an issue, there likely was.

Though Wu Chang’s combat skills weren’t strong, his inspiration was naturally sharp. After joining the Management Bureau, he used his keen inspiration to resolve many troubles, rarely making mistakes.

Even if he did make a mistake, it was merely additional questioning of suspects, not a big deal. But if Wu Chang’s hypothesis was correct, it would represent a breakthrough in the recent Wanghai City wild Transcendent crimes.

Chief Gao looked at Lei Huo and said, ”Let’s go, let’s meet the newly captured female murderer.”

Upon leaving the office, they happened to bump into Sword Star, so Chief Gao used Wu Chang’s name to invite Sword Star to join them in heading to the underground fifth floor.

Why did Chief Gao invoke Wu Chang’s name to call Sword Star?

Because Sword Star, leveraging an A-Level dungeon breakthrough, had been promoted two ranks, becoming a second-level investigator, a rank higher than Chief Gao, lacking authority to directly command Sword Star.

That’s why, with everyone in the bureau rushing around and Chief Gao offering no task to Sword Star, they only turned to Sword Star for help with thorny issues.

But under Wu Chang’s name, it was a request from Wu Chang, and everyone knew the two had a good personal relationship, Sword Star likely wouldn’t refuse, even if refusing, it would be at Wu Chang’s expense.

However, Chief Gao overthought it. Sword Star had pride but wasn’t arrogant, easily agreeing to help after a brief explanation, without any dissatisfaction.

The three, plus Zhao Yan, descended to the underground fifth floor by elevator, immediately greeted by a burst of colorful lights upon opening.

They had no time to react before being taken to a special space.

The underground fifth floor, as the Erosion Dungeon spread, engulfed both the fifth and sixth floors, Lu Langfeng appeared pleased.

Seeing his smile, Yu Siyi also smiled, her smile even more joyous than if she experienced a good fortune herself.

Lu Langfeng looked down at Yu Siyi, and facing her smile, he said, ”Do you remember your earlier promise to me, to do anything to help me?”

Yu Siyi nodded firmly.

Lu Langfeng pointed to the camera previously controlled by the blood mist and said:

”Everything I arranged today is displayed under the cameras, without any concealment, it will be easy to prove when they investigate in the future.”

”I need you to forget everything that happened before, and when they investigate this matter, blame everything you and others did on me, saying I controlled you. I have a way to ensure they don’t trouble you.”

”I have already written a new memory for you, as long as you agree, it will become your real memory.”

”Now, so as not to cause me trouble, just forget me.”
