Chapter 2635: Chapter 2636: The Eerie Statue

"Ha..."

Lin Yi sneered, "This is really interesting, they come here to steal, and you want to sue us?"

"They can be convicted of theft by a judge, but what you’re doing is illegal. We won’t let this go easily, we’ll pursue it to the end!"

At this moment, a person in uniform walked over and said politely:

"Daoist Master, what you’re doing is really excessive. If they pursue this seriously, you’ll be in trouble too."

"What if I insist on taking action against them today?"

"This..."

The person in uniform was a bit troubled and said:

"You might not know who these people are. They have significant influence, and one of them is injured. If it’s pursued seriously, it could escalate into an international issue, and you must understand, we are not in the right here."

Lin Yi said nothing, going over the situation in his mind once more.

What the other person said wasn’t wrong. Right now, the most these people could be charged with is theft, or at worst, home invasion robbery.

It’s not a big deal.

Besides, they have official backing. If this issue is pursued and escalates, we will be the ones in the wrong.

Given the current situation, it wouldn’t be appropriate to do anything further.

"What’s the proper procedure for handling these people?"

"We still have to investigate and gather evidence, but in the meantime, they will be detained."

Lin Yi paused and whispered into his ear:

"Take these people back, and don’t let anyone take them away, otherwise, it won’t end here for any of them."

The latter’s face changed, completely surprised that a mere Daoist would say such words!

"We know what to do."

Answering solemnly, the police called people over to untie Hunter and the other three.

Although they still had to undergo detention and investigation, in Hunter and the others’ eyes, as long as they left here, they were safe.

The remaining issues would be resolved with help.

"I’m leaving. Even if you can fight, so what? Trash!" Hunter gasped.

The members of the Central Guards Brigade exchanged glances, all unable to suppress their meaningful smiles.

"You guys are indeed formidable, I concede." Lin Yi shrugged and said with a smile.

Hunter squeezed his wounded side and gritted his teeth.

"You stabbed me, and I will never let you get away. Just wait, we’ll see!"

Lin Yi nodded with a smile, "Don’t worry, if nothing unexpected happens, we’ll meet again soon."

"Good you know, next time we meet, I’ll send you to see God!"

"Stop talking to him. We’ll settle this grudge later. You need to go to the hospital now."

As reinforcements arrived, the faces of the other three also lost their fear and became proud.

"Let’s go. Once I’m healed, I’ll find a chance to deal with him again!"

With that, Hunter, supported by the three of them, left the woodshed.

Rochet looked at Lin Yi coldly, "Just wait, I will pursue this to the end!"

Threatening Lin Yi, Rochet led his people out one after another.

"Lin Bro, shall we go over there?"

"They’re just a bunch of unimportant people, no need to bother with them. There are other matters that need your attention, follow me."

Everyone nodded and followed Lin Yi to Zhang Youfu’s room.

"Boss, is there treasure hidden in this room?" Shao Jianfeng asked:

"If there wasn’t something valuable, no one would come to steal, right?"

"You guessed right."

Lin Yi looked up, "The item is hidden in the ceiling, go up and find it."

"Okay."

Yu Siying, Xiao Bing, and Luo Qi watched from below while Zhang Chaoyue and Shao Jianfeng did the work.

Within minutes, they found a compartment in the southwest corner and took out a rectangular box wrapped in red cloth.

"Boss, it’s here."

Shao Jianfeng placed the wooden box on the table. Lin Yi unwrapped the red cloth layer by layer, revealing a black wooden box inside.

Lin Yi didn’t rush to open it, instead observing it carefully for a while.

The wooden box was about 40 centimeters long and 20 centimeters wide, with a shiny black surface, likely the result of frequent polishing.

There was nothing peculiar about the outside. Lin Yi placed his hand on the lock.

Exerting a bit of force, he pulled off the lock on the wooden box.

Lin Yi carefully placed both hands on the wooden box.

He gently opened it.

Inside were several layers of red cloth, atop which lay a statue resembling a bronze material.

The statue’s appearance was extremely bizarre.

Its head was a regular rhombus shape, with the lower triangle hollowed out and carved with a thin line that became its eye,

its arms and legs entwined like a DNA double helix structure around itself, giving an inexplicably strange feeling overall.

"What on earth is this?" Luo Qi quipped:

"This kind of immortal isn’t part of the Daoist system, is it?"

"Feels like an artifact," Yu Siying said.

"We can’t say what it is just yet, let’s take it out and have a look."

Lin Yi deftly took out the bronze statue, weighing it in his hands.

But at that moment, Lin Yi’s expression suddenly froze, standing motionless.

"Boss, what’s wrong?" Zhang Chaoyue asked.

"Don’t talk."

Seeing how serious Lin Yi was, the group fell silent.

They held their breath, watching Lin Yi, unsure of what was happening.

Lin Yi held the statue, with cool sweat seeping down his forehead.

He felt a tingling sensation spreading from his palm throughout his body.

The sensation was akin to being hit by a weak electric current.

Lin Yi calmed himself, attempting to enter a state of tranquility.

His instinct was telling him it wasn’t an illusion but something that truly existed!

Following this, Lin Yi placed the statue back into the box.

The tingling feeling dissipated along with it!

This discovery stirred waves of shock in Lin Yi’s heart, leaving him unable to calm down for a long time.

Now he truly believed that there was something strange about this statue!

Lin Yi’s eyes darted around, could this be the reason for curing cancer?

"Here, you all try it, hold it, and see how it feels."

Lin Yi handed the statue to Shao Jianfeng.

The latter weighed it in his hands, then looked at Lin Yi, baffled.

"Boss, what do you want, for me to estimate its weight?"

"No other sensation?"

"Um... no."

"Let someone else try."

Shao Jianfeng handed the statue to Xiao Bing.

But just like him, she felt nothing.

In the span of ten minutes, the statue had gone through everyone’s hands, and no one felt any peculiar sensation.

This scene made Lin Yi frown, muttering inwardly:

"Could it be that their abilities aren’t strong enough?"
