"This, this is too fantastical?"
Upon hearing Grandpa Chang's lengthy explanation, Zhou Dong and Niu Qiuling were stunned. Even Wan Yunting found it incredibly mysterious and asked Chang Wude, "Have you had dealings with these people from the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult?"
"Of course, I have," Chang Wude replied, pointing to the totem symbol of the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult drawn on the paper. "This evil cult was established a hundred years ago. It has had countless sect leaders and followers spread throughout the country. In the past, they were quite rampant in our country."
"Especially during the war years. Their sect leader used the souls of fallen soldiers to cultivate wicked arts, so our Boundless Daoist Temple, along with other righteous sects, was always eliminating these fanatics of the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult."
"Later, after our country was founded, the state stepped in to crack down on feudal superstition that misled people, and countless fanatics of the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult were eradicated."
As he spoke, Grandpa Chang picked up his tea cup and took a sip, then continued to Wan Yunting and the others, "However, the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult was once very powerful, with thousands of disciples, spread across our entire country and even neighboring countries."
"About twenty years ago, I encountered a group of Heavenly Eye Main God Cult members active around our Kunlun Mountains. From them, I learned about their current strength. They are mainly spread in Korea, Japan, and some Southeast Asian countries."
"So, there are very few of them in our country now. Especially twenty years ago, when our righteous sects joined forces and cleared out the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult fanatics within our country. I never expected them to dare to appear in our country again now!"
Wan Yunting, Zhou Dong, and Niu Qiuling were all greatly surprised. They never expected such an evil cult to have survived among the common people in the past. "So, this Heavenly Eye Main God Cult is just an evil organization that specializes in doing wicked deeds?"
"Yes," Chang Wude nodded. "In fact, we Taoists have always believed that humans are born with a third eye!"
"However, with the changes of the times and the scarcity of spiritual energy in heaven and earth, our human third eye closes as we grow older."
This statement made Zhou Dong and Niu Qiuling disbelieve. "Grandpa, your theory sounds too fantastical. This is a scientific society, and everything must be based on science."
"Tch." Chang Wude cast a disdainful glance at Zhou Dong and Niu Qiuling with his old eyes. "The boundary of science is metaphysics. Can the universe and all its phenomena be explained by science alone?"
"Perhaps," Niu Qiuling replied cautiously, only to be met with a cold snort from Chang Wude. "That's because your knowledge is shallow, and you haven't witnessed the profoundness of metaphysics. If you don't believe me, touch your forehead between your eyebrows. Do you feel a raised, almond-shaped indentation?"
This made Zhou Dongming and Niu Qiuling pause, and they couldn't help but touch the bone between their eyebrows with their fingers. They indeed felt a shallow, vertical almond-shaped mark on the bone. Chang Wude said, "This is our third eye!"
Zhou Dong and Niu Qiuling naturally didn't believe these remarks. Niu Qiuling was about to say something else, but Wan Yunting gave her a look to stop her. He turned to Chang Wude and asked, "Grandpa Chang, the deceased person is in our Huadu City, so the people from the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult are in our Huadu City. Do you have any way to find him?"
Chang Wude returned the photos and papers to Wan Yunting, then lay back on the lounge chair, waving his hand. "They are also human. How can I find them? Now that people are dead, it's naturally up to you police to investigate."
Seeing the old man's helpless expression, Wan Yunting had to get up and hand the photos and a few papers to Zhou Dong. "It seems we can only rely on ourselves to investigate based on the clues."
Zhou Dong nodded and said, "However, we can now be sure that the killers of Zhao Fuyang and Fei Xiang were people from the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult. This can now rule out revenge. This is very unfavorable for our investigation."
After all, their killing for sacrifice had no specific target, and the murderers left no valuable clues or traces. Therefore, tracking down the killers in Huadu City was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
"But thanks to Grandpa, otherwise we wouldn't have known the murderers were from the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult. I'll go back and check the old archives later to see if I can find any clues," Zhou Dong smiled.
"Yes, if you need any help, feel free to tell me anytime," Wan Yunting nodded.
"Okay." Zhou Dong nodded. He was about to say something when he saw Wang Chulin pulling Wan'er and bringing Ye Manni over. "Third Brother..."
Wan Yunting saw his second sister-in-law bringing Wan'er and Ye Manni over, so he waved for them to come closer. Niu Qiuling, who was beside them, immediately said to Zhou Dong upon seeing Ye Manni, "She's Ye Jiao's daughter, Ye Manni!"
"Oh." Zhou Dong had never met Ye Manni. Wan Yunting said, "I need to take her to handle her enrollment procedures later."
"Qiuling, you're here too." Wang Chulin, who had approached, saw Niu Qiuling there. Wan'er rushed towards her, "Sister Qiuling..."
"Wow, Wan'er." Niu Qiuling immediately bent down and picked up Wan'er, nodding and smiling at Wang Chulin, "Sister Chulin."
Wang Chulin nodded with a smile and politely nodded at Zhou Dong and the others. Ye Manni, of course, didn't know Zhou Dong and the others, but she had met Niu Qiuling before, having seen her once at the base in Myanmar. Therefore, Ye Manni immediately became nervous, knowing that Niu Qiuling was a police officer.
Sensing Ye Manni's nervousness, Zhou Dong said to Wan Yunting, "Yunting, we'll be going back then. I'll inform you if there are any leads in the case."
"Okay, Captain Zhou." Wan Yunting nodded. Niu Qiuling had to put Wan'er down, reluctantly stroking her little head, and said goodbye to Wang Chulin. She then ignored the men and left with Captain Zhou and the others to continue pursuing the murderer...
"Third Brother, what case is Qiuling investigating?" Wang Chulin asked curiously.
Wan Yunting replied, "A murder case, so I brought them here to ask Grandpa for some clues."
"A murder case? Is it the case reported in the news this morning about two male bodies found in the abandoned development area on the outskirts of the South City?" Wang Chulin asked in surprise.
Because the Huadu City news had already reported on the tragic deaths of Zhao Fuyang and Fei Xiang this morning, as the police couldn't keep such a matter secret.
"Yes, Sister-in-law, don't ask about these things anymore. Let's go in and handle Manni's enrollment procedures." Wan Yunting didn't want to say too much to Wang Chulin and the others.
"Okay, let's go." Wang Chulin nodded, wisely refraining from further inquiries. Anyway, with the police investigating the murderer, she didn't want to listen and get scared.
"Grandpa Chang, I'm going inside to handle some matters first. I'll chat with you later." Wan Yunting called out to Chang Wude, who was lying on a chair listening to music by the entrance of the security room. Seeing that the old man didn't respond, he didn't bother with him and led his second sister-in-law Wang Chulin, Ye Manni, and Wan'er into the school.
Pang Yuan had already contacted the principal of Huadu University, so a director came out to greet Wan Yunting. After a few polite exchanges, they handled Ye Manni's enrollment procedures according to the process.
Since Ye Manni had only studied up to her sophomore year abroad, she would start from her sophomore year this time. Seeing that the enrollment procedures were completed, Ye Manni was extremely excited. "Brother Wan, thank you."
"Alright, no need for polite words. You just study well here from now on." Wan Yunting, holding Wan'er's hand, led Ye Manni and Wang Chulin out of the teaching building, smiling. "Since we're here today, Sister-in-law, why don't I take you around the school and introduce Manni to the environment?"
"Okay." Wang Chulin naturally had no objections. She was idle at home every day anyway and planned to take Ye Manni and Wan'er out to play after completing the enrollment procedures for Ye Manni in the afternoon.
So, Wan Yunting, holding Wan'er's hand, led Ye Manni and Wang Chulin to wander around the university, explaining the school environment and architectural facilities as they went. After all, this was his alma mater, so he was very familiar with it...
