I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse
Chapter 341

Chapter 341: 341

The domain that had once shared a perfect understanding was now shattered by your words, and the young girl’s heart, just stirred, was immediately filled with anger. Xian Qianling burst out indignantly, "Li Muyun, have the guts to say that again!"

Scratching your head, you couldn’t help but laugh and say, "Sorry, sorry, my tongue slipped just now, and my innermost thoughts came out."

"Hmph."

Xian Qianling certainly knew that her image was not good among the many men around her, but she didn’t care how others judged her; it was just that every time she heard you address her that way, she couldn’t help feeling a bit of disappointment.

"So, why are you here?"

The slyness that appeared on Xian Qianling’s exquisite face, flawless to the point where no one could fault it, she smiled and said, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Is there a true and false version?"

"Of course."

"What’s the false one?" you asked curiously.

"The lie is that I’m madly in love with you, so I stalk you every day, creating every opportunity to be alone with you."

Rolling your eyes, not even a three-year-old child would believe that, let alone you. The captain of the criminal police being a stalker? That’s just trying to fool a ghost.

"And the truth?"

"I’ve already told you the truth," Xian Qianling said with a slight smile, then picked up the book "Clear Song Chant" from the bookstand, and threw ten bucks to the bookstall owner who had been watching the two of you.

Taking the book, Xian Qianling patted your shoulder and said, "Let’s go."

"Go where?"

"To help, of course."

"Help with what? I finally skipped class to buy some books, and I hardly have any in my hand. You can’t make me leave just yet."

Xian Qianling looked at you with an expression of disappointment, "What’s so good about these broken books? Most of them are just ******** and practice exercises for propping up tables. I know you’re interested in the occult. A relative of mine is a collector; he has opened a private museum, and it has all sorts of things. When I was a child, I even heard he had a spirit monster’s inner dan. If you help me crack this case, I will take you there right away."

"Alright, it’s a deal!"

"You’re such a nag, elder sister won’t let you down, Little Brother Mu Yun."

As she spoke, Xian Qianling grabbed your arm and left the old book market amid the envious and jealous stares of many men.

After exiting the book market, Xian Qianling headed straight to your car. After getting in, you couldn’t help but ask, "Where’s your car?"

"It got wrecked chasing a killer yesterday, and now it’s at the repair shop."

Seeing Xian Qianling’s nonchalant expression, you couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, "What a spendthrift."

"Hey, I heard that." Without waiting for you to speak, she continued, "You’d probably do something even more excessive after hearing about the crime. This guy killed his wife and daughter with his own hands, chopped them into over ten pieces, and hid them in the bathtub. Then he went to work as if nothing happened. If it wasn’t for the leakage from upstairs causing the bath water mixed with blood to spill out, he might have continued to get away with it for a while longer."

You closed your eyes, sighed softly, and said, "These are dark times, because of the chaos below, the Yin Ghost Qi is scattered, and it brings out the worst in many people, leading to a lot of tragedies."

Xian Qianling was taken aback for a moment before immediately asking with a tense face, "Are you saying that there’s a reason for all these bizarre cases happening recently?"

"Hmm, there is, it’s just that, we’re powerless to do anything."

"Is there really no other way?"

"No." You shake your head, "However, this negligence was caused by those below us, they will certainly remedy it, all you need to do is fulfill your own responsibilities."

"Alright, as mortals, we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate."

As you say this, you start the car engine and turn to ask, "Where to now?"

"The case is like this, a thief entered a single woman’s apartment at night to steal. After being discovered, he had the intent to kill, and after a struggle, he accidentally killed her. The thief ran away because he was scared. We caught him due to another theft case, and during the interrogation, we used hypnotism, which led to the thief confessing about the murder as well," Xian Qianling paused before continuing, "What’s strange is, when the thief led us to the murder scene, the victim’s body was not found, and the items in the room were neatly arranged, with no bloodstains on the floor."

"Could it be that the woman didn’t die?"

Xian Qianling shook her head: "No, according to the thief, the woman did indeed die, and the people living around the apartment hadn’t seen the victim since then, as if she had just evaporated from the mortal world. Sun Mingyu and Zhang Zifeng, during their investigation, heard that lamb and human flesh smell very similar, and he suspected that someone had done something special with the body; plus, Zong Wangyue also mentioned this, so I had no choice but to come and find you."

You shrug your shoulders, saying, "Then now we can only go to the victim’s apartment to have a look first."

When the two of you arrived at the entrance of the victim’s apartment, Zhang Zifeng was already waiting there with Sun Mingyu and three others for quite a while.

This was an old-style apartment, or as it would have been termed in the past, a tube-shaped building, which looked like it had seen some years. Even though the exterior had been refurbished, the layout hadn’t changed much.

"Mu Yun, we have to trouble you again this time."

Zhang Zifeng came forward, saying with a smile.

"Can’t be helped, who made your team leader tougher to deal with than a ghost," you say as you enter the victim’s apartment under Xian Qianling’s near-murderous gaze.

The apartment wasn’t large, it was only about fifty square meters. After taking a lap around it, you arrive back at the entrance.

At this moment, the Sen Luo Curse Mark slowly appears in your pupils, and now the Sen Luo Curse Mark is no longer spinning, instead emitting a faint multicolored light throughout the entire pupil.

"Light Circle Curse."

You mutter these three words gently, and then the scene before your eyes begins to change.

Now, standing at the entrance looking into the apartment, your eyes stare at the air as if without focus; in reality, wherever your gaze falls, time is reversing, like a film rewound, scenes flash by one after another.

Indeed, in your vision appears a man around 1.7 meters tall sneaking into the apartment, at a time when there was no one home. He starts to rummage through the place.

Then, you slowly enter the bedroom, following the thief’s tracks.

Just as the thief is rummaging through the bedroom, the female homeowner unexpectedly returns from work.

The thief, startled into a cold sweat, hides behind the door. As the woman enters the bedroom, he violently overpowers her and covers her mouth with his hand to stop her from making noise.

A man standing at 1.7 meters would need a sturdy physique and plenty of strength to subdue a grown woman of similar height, but the thief clearly does not possess these qualities.

The two start wrestling on the floor; the homeowner even attempts to shout multiple times, each time being suppressed by the thief. During their struggle, a pair of scissors falls to the ground. The woman picks up the scissors to stab the thief, but in the ensuing struggle for the scissors, the thief turns around and plunges the open scissors into the woman’s throat!

The murderer, frantic and terrified, runs out of the apartment, and you also follow his shadow out to the corridor.

These scenes can only be seen by you alone; Xian Qianling and the others just watch you walk from the living room to the bedroom, then from the bedroom to the entrance, always looking down the corridor.
