150 The Difficult Evil Spirit
When Zhu Daniu heard Ning Shi’s shout, his expression brightened and he quickly said, “Consultant Ning, did you find any clues? Is this case related to the Evil Spirit Cult?”
Zhu Daniu had heard of the name Evil Spirit before, but he had never come into contact with evil spirits before. He did not know the specific situation of the Evil Spirit in the country.
Previously, the Evil Spirit had mainly recruited followers in areas such as Shangmo City and Central City. They had very little activity in Donglin City.
Zhu Daniu did not encounter any related cases in the area he was in.
Ning Shi explained, “The symbol on the head is two crossed scimitars. The style of the scimitars is the special scimitars used by the evil spirit assassins of the Evil Spirit.
“Based on this, I speculate that the dismembered body case is related to the evil spirit.”
Ning Shi frowned. He felt that it was troublesome.
He did not expect the Evil Spirit to take revenge so quickly. This time, they had chosen to attack the students. They must have wanted to make use of the huge influence of the Campus Awakeners’ Competition.
The entire society was paying attention to the campus competition.
At this time, someone was killing students continuously. Moreover, the cruel method of dismembering the bodies would cause panic in the entire campus and society.
Not only could panic strengthen the evil spirits, but it was also beneficial to the preaching of the Evil Spirit.
As for the location of the first crime being chosen in Donglin City, it was definitely targeted at Ning Shi.
Ning Shi wasn’t afraid of the evil spirits fighting him head-on, but he was afraid that they would use their powerful concealment abilities to do evil everywhere and kill ordinary people.
“Consultant Ning,” Zhu Daniu asked, “What abilities do the evil spirit assassins of the Evil Spirit have? How can they kill the students without leaving any clues behind?”
Ning Shi replied, “Evil spirits are the combination of emotions and thoughts. They don’t have a physical body and can’t be sensed by the mind. So, they have a very strong hiding ability.
“Even if it appeared in front of you now, you wouldn’t be able to see it.
“Not only that, but evil spirit assassins usually had the strength of a Tier 8 awakener.
“With their strength and their ability to hide, it’s easy for them to kill students.”
Seeing the tragic death of the students, Ning Shi felt a trace of guilt in his heart. Although without Ning Shi, the evil spirits would continue to kill people and create panic if it wanted to preach in Yunmeng Kingdom.
They even produced addictive Exhilarating Coke and stimulating music, which caused great harm to the social stability of the Yunmeng Kingdom.
However, the Evil Spirit’s first choice to attack Donglin City was related to him.
Ning Shi didn’t like to be beaten passively. He was thinking about what to do to attract the Evil Spirit to show up, or find a way to detect the evil spirits.
At the thought of this, he walked around the first school but found no traces of evil spirits.
He called Hao Meng and told her about the evil spirit’s situation and characteristics.
“Can we create a sensory device that targets emotions and use it to sense the whereabouts of the evil spirit?”
Ning Shi put forward his own idea, but it was just a casual remark without much hope.
He didn’t know that Hao Meng, as a spiritual-type Overlord, had a deep understanding of emotions due to her simulated personality.
“I once invented a machine that can simulate and monitor the fluctuations of consciousness,” she said. “It can detect a person’s emotions through the changes in the fluctuations of consciousness.
“However, this kind of detector needs to come into contact with the human body to work. If we want to detect evil spirits, we may need to improve it to solve the problem of monitoring consciousness fluctuations without contact.”
After Hao Meng invented this emotion detector, she used it to monitor her own emotions and help with her cultivation.
She could monitor her emotions herself, so of course, she could wear the relevant equipment.
However, in order to sense the whereabouts of the evil spirit, the equipment had to be out of range.
However, now that there was a contact-type emotion sensor, it was finally good news.
Ning Shi said to Hao Meng, “The Evil Spirit is now on a killing spree in the country. I’m the only one who can sense their location. I can’t split myself up and am very passive. See if you can develop a device that can sense evil spirits.
“Four students have already died. If we don’t deal with the Evil Spirit, more will die.”
Hao Meng knew that the situation was urgent and said, “Leave the sensors to me. Be careful outside, and it’s best to bring Ilya with you.”
Ning Shi nodded. He could encounter the host of the Evil Spirit World essence treasure at any time when he was fighting with the Evil Spirit, so he had to be prepared just in case.
He found a place with no one around and used a summoning spell to summon Ilya to his side.
When he returned to the scene of the corpse, he realized that Zhu Daniu’s expression was even uglier.
“We’ve already sent out all our men to conduct a thorough search of all the Awakener Schools in Donglin City. We’ve found body pieces in another 12 Awakener Schools!”
Up until now, 16 innocent students had been brutally killed. Ning Shi was extremely angry, but he still tried to keep calm.
“Looking at the Evil Spirit’s targets,” he said, “They should have locked onto the 18 Awakener Schools in Donglin City. There are still a few schools where the bodies have not been found.
“There’s also the Yulin Awakener School and the First Strength School that Consultant Ning is in,” said Zhu Daniu.
Hearing this, Ning Shi’s heart sank.
After a thorough search, no corpses had been found in these two schools, so it could be basically confirmed that these two schools were the next targets of the evil spirit assassin.
To choose one of the two, Ning Shi had to choose a target to protect.
There was basically no need to choose. Ning Shi would definitely prioritize protecting his school.
He cupped his hands at Zhu Daniu and found a place with no one around with Ilya. He then used spatial magic and returned to his school.
After returning to the school, Ning Shi used an extremely fast speed, like a satellite, to circle around the school at a uniform speed, making sure that he could discover the evil spirit assassin at the first moment.
Ning Shi’s speed was very fast, already surpassing the speed of sound. It took less than ten seconds to circle the school.
Fortunately, his body’s recovery rate was extremely abnormal, allowing him to sustain a long period of high-speed running.
After running for more than two hours, Ning Shi finally found traces of the evil spirit assassin.
It was an ugly high-level evil spirit assassin. It was about to flash into the campus to commit a crime when it was discovered by Ning Shi.
Ning Shi did not hold back. A burst of Baleful Qi rushed out and directly killed the evil spirit assassin.
He had absorbed 8 World Energy points.
Perhaps sensing Ning Shi’s ability to plunder the world’s essence, the evil spirit assassins stopped committing crimes in the next two days.
The Campus Awakeners’ Competition was also going on as usual.
However, two days later, in the semi-final of the Campus Awakeners’ Competition, a contestant was hacked to death by the evil spirit assassin in front of everyone.
The judge on the stage and the other awakener experts present were unable to prevent the death of the contestant.
They couldn’t even find the murderer. Everyone only saw knife wounds suddenly appear on the contestant’s body, and the last wound appeared on the chest.
The contestant fell powerlessly into a pool of blood and died on the spot. His eyes were filled with fear.
On this day of the competition, Ning Shi was protecting the students at school and sent Ilya to protect his disciple.
Ilya’s perception had reached an abnormal level. She sensed the existence of the evil spirit assassin, but she did not make a move. She only listened to Ning Shi’s words and protected Luo Yao and the others. She was as indifferent as ever to the life and death of others.
Ning Shi knew Ilya’s personality and did not blame her.
This public murder had caused an extremely negative impact.
One had to know that the competition was live-streamed.
This scene was witnessed by countless people, both live and non-live, in Donglin City.
The scene of a student being killed by something invisible was too horrifying.
Humans were most afraid of the unknown.
With the popularity of the Campus Awakeners’ Competition, the image of the contestant’s death spread rapidly as if it had wings.
The internet was filled with videos of the murder scene. After an intense discussion, the officials chose not to ban the murder video.
This caused great fear in society.
In particular, the media dug up the serial dismembering of the 16 students who had died in Donglin City’s Awakener School.
It caused a huge uproar in society!
The invisible killer’s cruel methods caused widespread discussion and great panic.
Under such circumstances, Ning Shi received a call from Zhu Daniu.
“Consultant Ning, the evil spirit has started killing people on campus again! The First Strength School found a black bag again.”
This time, Ning Shi truly felt the horror of the evil spirit’s strange ability. Fighting with the evil spirit was always a disadvantageous situation where the enemy was in the dark while he was in the light.
They could fight and leave as they pleased, it was really annoying!
For the safety of his family, Ning Shi had already moved his family and friends to live on campus temporarily to prevent the evil spirit assassins from making targeted attacks.
The next day, the evil spirit assassin killed another 11 students in Donglin City’s Awakener School.
Donglin City’s Campus Awakeners’ Competition had been suspended. The authorities had even dispatched troops to station themselves at the various Awakener Schools.
However, the panic among the people had begun to spread. The panic would be difficult to stop if the evil spirits were not eliminated.
The more panic there was, the stronger the evil spirit would be.
In such an unfavorable situation, Ning Shi was not as anxious as before. He patiently guarded the school, protecting the safety of his family and students.
Finally, good news came from Hao Meng’s research.
In the principal’s office, Hao Meng handed Ning Shi something that looked like a pair of sunglasses.
Her eyes were red and she looked a little haggard. It was obvious that she had not rested for a few days.
“Brother Shitou, this is the emotion sensor I developed. You can try it on!”
Just as Ning Shi was about to try, Yun Moxiang, who he hadn’t seen in a long time, rushed in with a document.
She ignored Hao Meng and handed the document to Ning Shi.
“Consultant Ning, according to our research, the so-called evil spirit is likely to be the spiritual disaster of the three disasters!
