"When he saw me, he said I was plagued by bad luck, listed a series of problems I had, and told me to do as he said if I believed in revenge."
"The price for one person is that after I die, one soul and one spirit will be extracted from my three souls and seven spirits."
Zhao Yan nodded at Yin Cha, and the Yin Cha led Liu Hao and Liu Hui's souls to the underworld.
"Dao Ye? Brother Lan, have you ever heard of this title?" Zhao Yan asked.
Blood sacrifice is an evil art, and instigating others to use this method, and extracting a wisp of soul.
Lan Jing shook his head, "I don't know."
Zhao Yan narrowed her eyes and said nothing more.
She had seen the method of blood sacrifice when she followed the old man to deal with evil matters.
Once it happens once, it will happen a second time.
The ultimate source of blood sacrifice is the accumulation of souls, and the specific amount to be accumulated depends on the ambition of the person.
Liu Hao committed suicide for revenge, using ghosts to claim lives, it seems this was not the first time.
"Let's settle the bill," Zhao Yan said.
She stuck one on the back of her phone, one on herself, one on Liu Hui and Liu Hao respectively, and the last one on Lan Jing.
A total of five talismans, five thousand yuan.
"Okay," Lan Jing took out his phone and scanned it to Zhao Yan.
"Brother Lan, I think you need a life-saving talisman."
"Miss Zhao said I need it, so I definitely need it." Lan Jing nodded.
Zhao Yan took out a life-saving talisman, and Lan Jing smiled, "Miss Zhao, I want to buy ten."
The more life-saving talismans, the better, after all, there is only one life.
Moreover, since these talismans came from Zhao Yan's hand, their effect must be greatly beneficial.
If he couldn't use them himself, he could give them to friends as gifts.
"There are no more in stock now. We will meet again in a couple of days, and I will give them to you then," Zhao Yan said.
Lan Jing was stunned for a moment, "We will meet again?"
Thinking of this, Lan Jing's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a little delighted.
"Could it be that Miss Zhao wants to ask me out for a meal, and she has taken a liking to me?"
Thinking of this, Lan Jing couldn't help but chuckle.
"Brother Lan, what are you laughing at?"
Zhao Yan looked at Lan Jing laughing with his mouth askew, feeling that he was a bit lewd.
Lan Jing's face turned a little red, "It's nothing, Miss Zhao."
Zhao Yan pondered for a moment, "Brother Lan, if you have time, check if the recent suicide cases have increased."
"Okay, I'll check later," Lan Jing nodded.
As he spoke, Lan Jing said something to Captain Liu.
Captain Liu immediately checked.
Lan Jing turned around, wanting to chat with Zhao Yan for a few more words, but found that Zhao Yan had gotten into the car with General Black Tiger and Wu Jiaxin.
Zhao Yan sighed as she got into the car, "Although Beijing is big, it is not peaceful."
"Blood sacrifices have even appeared."
Saying that, Zhao Yan urged Wu Jiaxin to drive back. It was not too late, so it was better to hurry up and sleep.
"Brother Lan, I've cross-referenced the cases from other police stations and found that it's true, as Miss Zhao said, suicide cases have suddenly increased recently."
"In this month alone, there have been five suicide cases."
"Five cases? This is clearly not normal."
"Look at this one, it happened in the last three days," Captain Liu pointed at the computer.
Lan Jing followed Captain Liu's direction and looked.
"Suicide case in Chang'an Residential Area, a twenty-five-year-old girl hanged herself, named Zheng Qinqin."
"Ask the police station in Chang'an Residential Area for the specific situation."
Captain Liu made a phone call. He was initially worried about disturbing others, but he didn't expect that the police officers at the Chang'an Residential Area police station were also working overtime to handle matters.
He inquired about this suicide case.
He learned that Zheng Qinqin was deceived by a scumbag, not only got pregnant, but also had her money scammed away by the scumbag. During their relationship, the scumbag cheated on her.
He even posted her private photos in some groups, using them as capital to show off to his so-called online friends.
These pictures were secretly taken by the scumbag without her knowledge.
After being posted online, they were not only spread to her company group but also to her family group.
Some netizens even commented on her photos, saying how cheap and slutty she was without knowing the circumstances.
A kind word warms three winters, but harsh words hurt in June.
"Zheng Qinqin committed suicide three days ago, the cause of death was carbon monoxide poisoning."
"Police officers from the Chang'an Police Station found many baby toys and supplies in her rented apartment."
"However, she only had a few pieces of clothing."
"Before the man's infidelity was discovered, her social media posts were all about looking forward to the arrival of this new life."
"What is that scumbag's name? Have they caught him?" Lan Jing rubbed his temples.
"His name is Zhang Quan. Police officers from the Chang'an Police Station are looking for him, but they don't know where he is hiding."
Lan Jing thought of the blood sacrifice Zhao Yan had mentioned, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
If one truly used death for sacrifice, how could they reincarnate as a human without a soul and a spirit?
...
Linjiang Bar.
The younger brothers next to him watched Zhang Quan dancing with two beautiful women.
Especially seeing his hands on the women's shoulders, their eyes were already fixed.
"Brother Zhang has only been at the bar for a few days, and he's already hooked up with another beauty. When will I reach Brother Zhang's level?"
"You? Forget it."
"Indeed, indeed. In terms of heart, I'm really no match. I heard that Brother Zhang's girlfriend committed suicide by hanging herself not long ago, and he's acting like nothing happened, dancing with beauties."
"The money for today's dancing and treating us to drinks came from Brother Zhang's girlfriend. His girlfriend was so frugal that she wouldn't even eat lunch so she could save more money for the baby in her belly."
"Shh, stop talking, Brother Zhang is coming."
Zhang Quan was very smug. He lowered his head, sniffed the scent on his fingers, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Old Ling, use your ID to book a room for me at the hotel downstairs, and I'll transfer the money to you later."
"Okay, Brother Zhang, do you want me to buy you a box of that?"
Zhang Quan chuckled, "Why use that stuff? If she's pregnant, just get an abortion."
"Heh heh, Brother Zhang is truly amazing! I'll go then."
"Mm, book a good one. I'll transfer you an extra two hundred later, and you and Ah Wang can go get some late-night snacks."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Zhang."
Zhang Quan smiled, turned around, and walked away, holding a woman and heading towards the hotel.
Taking the room card handed over by his subordinate, Zhang Quan pushed open the hotel door.
"Baby, should we shower together, or should I go first?" Zhang Quan said.
"You go first, I'll browse my phone."
Zhang Quan chuckled and walked towards the bathroom.
Halfway through his shower, Zhang Quan suddenly shivered, feeling the water temperature had turned cold.
He adjusted the water temperature and poured it over himself.
The foam from his head got into his eyes. Zhang Quan reached out his hand, intending to grab the towel on the left.
As soon as his hand reached out, he touched the towel that was handed to him.
Zhang Quan smiled, "Thank you, baby."
"Aren't you shy? We can shower together."
Zhang Quan wiped his eyes and looked behind him.
Suddenly, he realized that there was nothing behind him.
