"Something's happened in the underworld. The soul ferryman is contacting the higher realms."
"They say that recently, souls in the underworld have been going missing."
"The Book of Life and Death also shows signs of error."
"They suspect that someone is causing trouble in the mortal world and hope we can help them find the cause."
"The underworld? Even the ferrymen of souls have been mobilized?"
Xu San's eyes widened: "Why does this sound so far-fetched?"
"Mysterious? You haven't heard about the even more mysterious things yet."
Xu Si paused for a moment, then continued:
"This task has fallen to us, the all-knowing ones?"
"The higher-ups specifically named us and assigned us to the North China region."
Xu San adjusted his glasses and nodded solemnly:
"It seems this mission is not simple."
"When has a mission ever been easy?" Xu Si retorted.
"What should we do?" Feng Baobao asked.
Xu Si said, "To be honest, this matter is indeed a bit tricky."
Where should we begin our search?
Xu San said, "Let's start from the capital."
"In that villa case last time, didn't the soul disappear?"
"Perhaps the person who did this is in the capital."
Xu Si thought Xu San's words made sense.
"Third Brother is right."
“We need to keep an eye on any cases in Beijing recently.”
"Take immediate action if any abnormalities are detected."
“Start the elimination process from the capital.”
"We must find this troublemaker."
Chapter Twenty-Nine: Darker's Judgment Day: The Contract is Signed, and You Will Gain Time to Escape.
The next day.
The sky was just beginning to turn pale.
The issue caused an uproar across major media outlets and online.
A live stream called Darker Judgment Day quietly appeared.
It attracted the attention of countless netizens.
Darker's hoarse voice echoed in the live stream room.
He is preparing to broadcast the trial of Wang Lin, who is guilty of heinous crimes, live.
This news was like a bombshell.
This caused a huge uproar online.
The municipal bureau's special task force also noticed this live broadcast room immediately.
Luo Fei frowned, his eyes fixed intently on the computer screen.
He knew every time Darker appeared.
This all signifies a thrilling and intense contest.
At this moment, Wang Lin woke up from his coma in a car in the suburbs.
He rubbed his groggy head.
I tried hard to remember how I got here.
However, upon closer inspection of the surrounding scene and the bomb on his body...
His eyes widened in horror.
Wang Lin struggled to remove the bomb strapped to his body.
However, it was all in vain.
He looked around desperately, trying to find a glimmer of hope.
However, the car windows were sealed shut, and the doors were also tightly closed.
Even the car won't start.
Just then, the car radio suddenly turned on.
Darker's hoarse and cold voice came through the radio: "Wang Lin, your day of reckoning has come."
Wang Lin screamed in terror, "Who are you? What do you want?"
Darker did not answer his question, but continued:
"The crimes you have committed over the years are too numerous to count."
"Today, I will act on behalf of Heaven to judge your crimes."
As Darker finished speaking.
The radio began broadcasting the various crimes committed by Wang Lin.
In May 2007, a female freshman at Beijing University was taken to Tianhai Villa after attending a club gathering and then vanished without a trace.
In March 2008, a 24-year-old sex worker entered Tianhai Villa and never left.
In April 2009, the female secretary of the Wang Group arrived at Tianhai Villa after following a phone call, only to be met with endless darkness.
...
As Wang Lin listened, his face grew paler and paler, his heart filled with fear.
He hurriedly replied, "I have money, I have a lot of money."
"If you release me and don't expose me, I'll give you 30 million."
Wang Lin felt like he had grasped at the last straw.
He shouted incoherently.
However, there was no response from the radio.
Wang Lin's heart sank.
He knew he had no way out but to keep raising the price:
"Fifty million, one hundred million, or even three hundred million, I'll give it to you."
Just then, Darker's voice rang out again:
"Sign the contract in front of you."
"This way you can get a chance to drive away for twenty minutes."
Upon hearing Darker's words, Wang Lin had no room for hesitation.
With trembling hands, he picked up the pen and signed his name on the contract.
As he signed, he kept repeating, "I, I signed, I signed."
"Contract signed. Congratulations on gaining twenty minutes to escape."
Darker's voice echoed like a chorus from the abyss:
"Cherish this opportunity; it's your last chance."
Wang Lin felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet.
He stared wide-eyed as the contract in front of him spontaneously combusted without a flame.
It turned into a wisp of smoke, and its ashes scattered in the air.
And at the same time.
The explosives on his body also began their twenty-minute countdown.
The ticking sound was like the footsteps of death, drawing ever closer.
Wang Lin hurriedly turned the car key.
The car, which was originally locked, miraculously started.
He didn't have time to think and immediately stepped on the gas.
The car sped off like a wild horse.
Outside the car window, the scenery rushed past.
Wang Lin's heartbeat quickened as the car accelerated.
He now has only one thought in mind: to leave this place.
Leave this terrifying place.
Drive to the nearest police station and seek police protection.
at the same time.
Municipal Public Security Bureau Special Task Force.
Luo Fei stared at the live stream on his computer screen, his face ashen.
He immediately said to Zeng Rihua beside him:
"Investigate immediately! Find out exactly where this car is!"
