Chapter 28: Monocle
Chapter 28: Monocle
A few minutes later, Su Qin arrived at the interrogation room that had been prepared in advance.
A table was temporarily placed in the center of the interrogation room, with two cups of freshly brewed coffee on it. Two chairs were placed directly opposite the table, and a refined-looking man with glasses sat opposite him. Su Qin sat calmly across from him.
"I'm so sorry, the police station has limited facilities, and it's not easy to find a quiet place. Please make do for now."
No need to be nervous, this is just a normal coffee chat. Take your time, just tell me slowly and I'll write it down.
Su Qin pretended to put the notebook on the table and opened it, then reached out and pushed the coffee on the table.
The bespectacled man across from me picked up his cup, took a small sip, and looked calm and composed, seemingly unaware of anything amiss.
"They're separating us all for individual questioning, I guess they're trying to get information out of us! You can begin."
The bespectacled man sipped his coffee leisurely, seemingly unconcerned about what Su Qin might do to him. Following the police's usual practice, they would indeed interrogate him privately, like a criminal, but extracting any useful information from him was unrealistic.
I came here this time to see what kind of person this Ghost Master transferred from Dajing City is. I heard that he solved the problem in Shipai Village in just half a day. He seems to be quite capable.
Seeing that the bespectacled man was still pretending, Su Qin did not expose him, but followed up with questions.
"I'd like to know if you've handled any unusual items recently, or attended any special parties or events together."
Su Qin had no intention of wasting words with the bespectacled man. He simply tried to distract the man with his words while he silently launched his supernatural attack.
Everything in his vision turned grayish-white, and a phantom, eerie ghost hand was silently approaching the man with glasses.
As for intelligence, Su Qin didn't need to ask at all. He only needed to take the other party's head off, and he would know everything.
This time was different from the time in the conference room. Before, Su Qin had not launched an actual attack, and the bespectacled man had not noticed anything unusual. But this time, the bespectacled man clearly showed a slight reaction.
He noticed that the air around him seemed to have become rather chilly. He subtly pushed up his monocle, seemingly about to do something.
But he realized it too late. An invisible ghostly hand had already firmly grasped his head, and his hand that was pushing up his monocle froze. He sat there in a daze.
Su Qin narrowed his eyes slightly, inwardly realizing something was wrong.
Are you kidding me? This is incredibly unlucky! Are there really that many vengeful spirits with consciousness? And I've run into one right here.
Haha! But trying to fight me with the supernatural? Naive. Let's see how long you can last.
Under normal circumstances, Su Qin would have been able to extract the bespectacled man's consciousness from his head in an instant, but Su Qin failed. The illusory consciousness inside the bespectacled man's head seemed to have taken root and could not be pulled out.
The monocle, made of polished crystal, trembled slightly, emitting a cold and eerie glow; it was this thing that was resisting the supernatural attack of the ghostly hand.
The two were locked in a stalemate, and time ticked by, one second, two seconds, half a minute later.
Click~
The monocle made of crystal was covered with dense cracks, and the man's pupils instantly became dull.
Splash!
The monocle suddenly shattered, and the consciousness that had been grasped by the ghostly hand also suddenly shattered.
"Huh? It's broken? Is there some unknown method involved? What a strange fellow."
The bespectacled man's eyes suddenly turned lifeless and numb, his body quickly stiffened, and he emitted a strong stench of death, just like the previous victims.
He's dead, perhaps he died a few days ago. The only reason he could act and speak like a normal person was because of that monocle.
At this moment, Su Qin finally understood what had happened to those victims.
At the same time, Su Qin's expression became increasingly solemn.
"This is definitely not the work of a vengeful ghost. Is it a Ghost Master? This is troublesome. Ghost Masters are much more difficult to deal with than mindless vengeful ghosts."
He was certain that the consciousness he had just captured belonged to a living person, but it definitely didn't belong to this bespectacled man. It must have been some kind of ghost tamer who used some strange supernatural power to put their own consciousness into someone else's brain.
Although the consciousness was shattered, Su Qin firmly believed that the owner of that consciousness was definitely not dead. The strange monocle was likely the key. Ghosts cannot be killed, and the shattered monocle was probably just a byproduct.
As the ghostly hand returned to his body, fragmented and unfamiliar memories surfaced in Su Qin's mind.
"Those two greedy yellow-skinned pigs actually released the ghost... Yellow-skinned pigs are unreliable... The ghost tamer from Dajing City has arrived, and he actually imprisoned that ghost from Shipai Village... We can't let them trace it back to me; we must get rid of them as soon as possible... As long as I transport all the ghosts from Jinshan Temple out, the church will definitely help me prolong the resurgence of the vengeful ghost..."
These fragmented memories were forcibly preserved by the Ghost Hand; they are incomplete, but contain a lot of crucial information.
The true form is at Kimseonsa Temple? They're really well hidden, you yellow-skinned pig? The church? They're foreign exorcists! Only foreigners would use such an insulting and derogatory term.
Su Qin immediately left the interrogation room and quickly went to Captain Liu's office.
Captain Liu paced back and forth in his office, restless. He had already ordered the entire police station to be sealed off, but he had no say in the matter and could only pray that Su Qin could successfully apprehend the suspicious man.
Upon seeing Su Qin push open the door and enter, Captain Liu impatiently asked the question.
"How's it going? Did you catch that guy? Is he a human or a ghost?"
Su Qin's expression was not good. Upon seeing Su Qin's expression, Captain Liu's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
Su Qin did not answer his question directly, but immediately offered the following suggestion:
"Immediately send people to seal off Kim Son Temple. The perpetrator is an overseas ghost hunter who is likely hiding in Kim Son Temple. I will go to Kim Son Temple now and arrest and detain him immediately, otherwise it may lead to even bigger trouble!"
In addition, an immediate city-wide search is being conducted. The target of the search is a single lens made of ground crystal, which is an extremely dangerous object and a characteristic of suspicious individuals. If found, report it immediately by phone; do not make contact without authorization.
Without any hesitation, Captain Liu immediately notified the Municipal Bureau and all branch bureaus, initiating a city-wide deployment.
Meanwhile, in a meditation room at Jinshan Temple, a fair-skinned, blue-eyed monk was sitting on a futon when suddenly, without warning, the monocle on his right eye socket emitted a cold, eerie light. A transparent, unidentified object emerged from the monocle and entered his head.
The monk immediately woke up with a start, his eyes bulging, and he rolled on the ground, clutching his head.
"Ugh~ Ah~!"
He seemed to be in great pain, struggling on the ground for a full three minutes before gradually calming down.
The monk, clutching his head where the pain had subsided slightly, slowly got up from the ground, his eyes filled with resentment and malice, his fierce appearance making him seem like a vengeful ghost.
"Damn it! Damn those yellow-skinned pigs! It's all because of those two greedy yellow-skinned pigs. They gave them a million US dollars and they were still not satisfied. If those two greedy yellow-skinned pigs hadn't released the evil spirit, they wouldn't have attracted all the yellow-skinned pigs from Dajing City! Damn it! They really deserve to die!"
And that yellow-skinned pig from Dajing City, he's even more despicable, he actually killed my clone!
The supernatural attack targeting consciousness is truly terrifying! When did such a terrifying monster emerge in China? He's not human! He's a demon!
I want him dead! I want him to never leave the Security Bureau!
Yellow-skinned pigs deserve to die! They all deserve to die!
The monk clutched his head, cursing wildly, as if this action could alleviate the pain, or perhaps he was simply venting his anger.
