Living Sacrifice

"Hm!" I'll leave now! "

Hearing my words, the man subconsciously looked around, and then, without waiting for me to finish speaking, he turned around and left. Judging from his expression, there was a hint of fear.

I quite understand that.

Not long after the man left, two police cars arrived at the scene. Very soon, a cordon was raised in the surroundings.

"Hello, I'm Wu Lei, the person who reported you earlier!"

Seeing that the police had arrived, I hastily walked forward and said to an older police officer. From the looks of it, he should be the leader here.

"Hmm, hello, just call me Officer Liu!"

The policeman named Liu looked at me closely for a long time before he extended his hand to shake mine as he spoke.

Presumably, he was looking to see if I was the murderer. However, since he took the initiative to shake my hand, it seemed that he had initially eliminated my suspicion.

"Comrade Wu Lei, please tell us in detail what happened."

Officer Liu spoke again, but this time he did it to inquire about the case. As it was a normal day, many people watched some legal programs and knew that Officer Liu's inquiry was just a routine of public service.

Naturally, I didn't dare to slight the words of the police. I hurriedly told them in detail how I found the owner's corpse and how I called the police.

Of course, I naturally left out the matter of encountering the female ghost. I know that even if I were to spread the news, no one would believe me.

Soon, the medical examiner's results came out. The owner died from a sudden cardiac arrest, which we usually call sudden death.

However, he was different from the other sudden deaths. From the face of the shop owner, it could be seen that he must have been severely frightened before he died. The estimated time of death should be around 9 in the morning.

Since there were only my footprints around, it basically ruled out killing him.

As for the specific outcome of the death, it would need further analysis to know.

Not long after, the owner's corpse was taken away. It seemed like he was dragged back to the police station for a detailed examination.

It had to be said that the police officers were very efficient. Within half an hour, they had obtained preliminary results of the investigation and were ready to leave after sealing the scene. "Comrade Wu Lei, this is the end of the day. Please keep your call clear for a period of time and help us investigate."

Officer Liu said to me before he left.

"Hm!" I know that! "

After all, the case was not yet settled, and it was the duty of every citizen to assist the police in the investigation.

"Why is it another sudden death, and all of them have pictures in their hands! Weird, why doesn't this look normal at all! "

"Hmm, something is definitely not right!"

Just as I was about to leave, I heard something useful from the two officers' mouths.

I turned around and saw that the two officers were about to leave.

"Hello, Comrade. Didn't you just say that a few sudden deaths occurred within two to three hours?"

"Hm!" That's right, this is already the third case. You say that this is not strange! "

The policeman didn't seem to be afraid of me and said this directly to me.

Just as he finished his sentence, another person standing beside him also spoke to me.

"And the strangest thing is that when these people died, they all had their pictures on their cell phones. The most surprising thing was that these two people died suddenly on the way home from the police station! You said that it's not scary? "

"Hm!" It was truly terrifying! I wonder how did this happen? "

I nodded and pretended to be shocked.

However, although I appeared to be very surprised, my heart wasn't surprised at all.

Because I know that the death of these people definitely wasn't a coincidence, and the real cause of death couldn't have been as simple as sudden death.

"Alright, let's not talk anymore. We'll be leaving first!"

Before leaving, the two policemen didn't forget to say goodbye. They were very polite.

When all the policemen had left, I realized that the clue that had appeared in my mind had been cut off once again.

Moreover, it was very clear that this ghost girl had already started her attack. In just a short span of three to four hours, three people had died. The killing efficiency was extremely high.

What should he do? He couldn't wait any longer! From the looks of it, he still had to get the Grand Preceptor's help and see what ideas she had.

I knew that the ghost could attack me at any moment, and the longer it dragged on, the more dangerous my life would be.

You know, I almost died at her hands, so it must be a lie to say I wasn't afraid.

"Three have died!" I wonder if it will be my turn! "

I vaguely remember that there were about ten or so people who showed me the pictures at the police station. I didn't pay much attention to the exact number, but it couldn't have been more than twelve.

In this case, everyone we saw was in danger of dying. Even others, such as the owner, would be involved.

However, at this point, I can't care about the life and death of others. After all, I don't know any of these people and even if I wanted to save them, I have no way to do so.

As I walked, I thought about it. In the blink of an eye, I was back at my living quarters. It felt like I had been transported here.

"Why is he here?!"

The grandma seemed to have expected that I would come back. She wasn't surprised to see me, and instead asked me a question out of the blue.

I knew which female ghost was the main target of the Grand Matriarch's words, so I nodded subconsciously.

"What do you think of her skills?"

"She almost strangled me to death!"

In the face of the Grand Matriarch's problem, I could only speak the truth. After all, the only person who could save my life now was the Grand Matriarch.

"Since she tried to kill you using the method of pinching people, it seems like her cultivation isn't that deep. That's easy to deal with!"

After listening to the grandma's words, I seemed to have understood a principle. I couldn't help but feel resentment from the bottom of my heart.

It seems like the Grand Matriarch purposely let me run over to test the strength of this female ghost. From the start to the end, I was completely taken advantage of by her.

Luckily, I was lucky. Otherwise, I would have been killed by her before I could determine her strength.

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but want to know whether the Grand Matriarch wanted to help me or kill me.

"Don't be angry, I'm doing this for your own good!"

The Grand Matriarch seemed to see my displeasure and said to me.

"Tell me, why did you send me to test this ghost girl's strength for my own good? Don't you understand and want me to die?"

As for the Grand Matriarch saying 'for my own good', I really couldn't understand her intention. Was she really trying to save me or was she trying to harm me?

Just listen to me, and I'll tell you why I want you to do this.
