Chapter 165: Chapter 160 Save Me

"Hmm? What’s this? Did the lock open by itself?"

Xiao Yi, puzzled by the briefcase that had inexplicably been in his hand since the beginning, was suddenly curious as it unlocked itself.

"Could this be remote unlocking technology, or maybe it’s timed? Pretty high-tech."

Considering Xu Yingguang had specifically instructed him to take the briefcase, Xiao Yi thought there must be something very important inside it.

Thus, Xiao Yi placed the briefcase on the table, sat down, and opened it.

Inside the case, there wasn’t anything special—no books, just a thin stack of documents.

"What’s this...?"

Xiao Yi picked up the stack of documents and merely glanced at it, but he was immediately stunned. He recognized some familiar names.

"Why... why are their names here?"

The documents first revealed the names of Clements, Nania, and Liliana.

Initially, Xiao Yi was not fond of reading long texts, but since Xu Yingguang had specifically asked him to take them, and the names of people he had just met were mentioned, he forced himself to read on.

However, the more he read, the more furrowed his brows became.

The contents of the documents were not complicated.

In essence, today, three criminals from different regions had simultaneously vanished in the same desolate mountain area.

These three were:

Ogre Clements, who murdered a couple, cooked them, and even invited their child to share the meal—a true act of depravity. When the couple had not been seen for several days, a neighbor, fearing something had happened, forcibly entered the house and discovered the horrifying scene.

The police quickly apprehended Clements and the child he had taken. From the child’s statement, the police learned the whole truth and consequently convicted the ever-silent Clements. However, the child, possibly unable to accept the fact that they had eaten their own parents, chose to commit suicide.

While being transported to prison, the officer in charge lost contact, suspected to have been attacked by Clements, who likely escaped.

Nania, a central figure in a criminal organization, was brutal and inhumane. She had been sentenced to ten years in prison for murder in her early years and, unchanged after release, harmed many after joining the criminal group. She then clashed with other members of the organization, resulting in the deaths of forty-seven people and fled with a large sum of money to a remote mountain area, where she completely disappeared.

The last one, Liliana, was known as the Holy Daughter of an illegal organization masquerading under religious guises.

Liliana held tremendous power and respect within that illegal organization. Whenever she ordered someone’s so-called ’salvation,’ the organization’s members would gruesomely kill the target.

Records show that 173 people died by her command—57 burned, 66 beheaded, 25 bled to death after their limbs were severed, and 25 died from spinal fractures and extractions.

After demolishing the illegal organization’s stronghold and capturing Liliana, it was decided to temporarily detain her at a special location after deliberations. However, contact was lost during the transfer, and she is presumed to have escaped.

While destroying the stronghold, many members fled and are currently at large. Knowing that the Holy Daughter had escaped, it is highly possible that these members might regroup and act again, causing severe harm. Therefore, Liliana is the top priority.

These three individuals were extremely dangerous criminals, and nearly simultaneously, they vanished in the same area. Thus, higher-ups had sent investigators to look into their disappearances; if anyone spots any of them, they must immediately contact headquarters, inform them of the situation, and, while ensuring their own safety, track their movements!

After reading the documents, the audience in the live stream couldn’t help but exclaim,

"These people... They look so normal, didn’t expect each to be so serious!"

Now, everyone knew those three weren’t as simple as they appeared. At least... they had to be cautious around them from now on.

However, Xiao Yi had a different idea.

He furrowed his brow, threw the stack of documents on the table, and muttered,

"What the heck, what is all this written here!"

Although Xiao Yi reluctantly read the document, the viewers in the live stream also observed the document through Xiao Yi’s perspective.

However, Xiao Yi reading ≠ Xiao Yi comprehending the whole document.

"This shitty format, it’s all one big block of text! How are you supposed to read this? Don’t they know how to use a period? If you can’t write, don’t pretend to and mess it up! Go back and retake elementary school Chinese!"

For Xiao Yi, he needed to break after two lines of text, otherwise, he would develop reading difficulty, characterized by skipping that chunk of text and moving to the next section.

Xiao Yi basically skimmed through, missing all the relevant information.

Thus, Xiao Yi reading = Xiao Yi not reading at all.

Moreover, at this moment, Xiao Yi still had no clue what those three people had actually done.

Realizing this, people were speechless once more.

[This isn’t a novel you’re reading; it’s an official document. How can you expect it to cater to one’s reading experience?]

[So, Brother Xiao Yi basically didn’t read anything! Bad news! Now Brother Xiao Yi will probably get brutally taken advantage of by those manipulative bastards!]

[Feels like Brother Xiao Yi could be sold by them and still happily help them count the money.]

[Rule Five: The briefcase contains information that may or may not be important to you. This rule is very vague, now it seems that the information is not important to Brother Xiao Yi at all.]

Fed up, Xiao Yi simply turned off the light, threw himself onto the bed, and immediately fell asleep!

"Ha...huh..."

However, just as Xiao Yi was about to succumb to sleep, a sudden loud noise came from next door.

The noise was extremely chaotic, and although muffled by the wall, it was still piercingly loud.

"...What’s going on?" Xiao Yi opened his eyes in exasperation, "Are there other people living next door to me?"

Because he hadn’t turned on the light, Xiao Yi’s room was very dim, perhaps for that reason his hearing became more sensitive.

Listening closely, he identified the chaotic noise predominantly as a man and a woman arguing, a little girl crying, and the occasional sound of something being smashed.

It sounded like a family dispute.

"..." Just as Xiao Yi was about to knock on the neighboring room’s door, the arguing suddenly stopped.

Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief and lay back down to sleep.

However, before long, Xiao Yi heard another strange sound.

The sound itself was very faint, so soft that if one didn’t listen carefully, it could easily go unheard.

At first, Xiao Yi didn’t think much of it, assuming it was just the sound of the wind... But the sound persisted, plucking at Xiao Yi’s nerves.

It was like plucking a string, until the string snapped.

"...Hm?" Xiao Yi felt as if the sound was emanating from his own body.

Thump, thump thump.

Just as Xiao Yi was puzzled about what this sound could be, he suddenly heard a voice that seemed to belong to a little girl.

She said, "...save me."

Xiao Yi’s expression stiffened, and only then did he realize that the strange sound, along with the girl’s plea for help, was coming from outside his own room door!
