Chapter 1644: Chapter 1491: Yin Yang Inn 47
After Qi Shuangshuang, Luo Yao visited two other cities to investigate the pasts of four victims, who were completely unrelated: two brothel women, a rural farmer, and a restaurant waiter.
Although these four people could have had encounters based on their identities, the investigation reports showed they were strangers to each other.
Four strangers, who had never even met before, meant that any common point of intersection between them was almost impossible.
Qi Shuangshuang had a headache. She had already asked Luo Yao to deploy Yang Wuchang to gather these victims’ preferences, along with all their actions before and after the incidents, the places they visited, and the deeds they performed.
By gathering this information and carefully reviewing it piece by piece, Qi Shuangshuang refused to believe that these people truly lacked similar connections.
The reason why the same connection couldn’t be found was simply due to not being meticulous enough, not examining more thoroughly.
While Qi Shuangshuang was scrutinizing the collected information in the inn with determination, Luo Yao returned, his face looking troubled after going out to convene Yang Wuchang to scout for more information.
As Luo Yao entered, Qi Shuangshuang was once again poring over several pieces of information she found suspicious, placing them side by side, feeling as if she finally had a vague idea.
As a result, just at that moment, Luo Yao rudely pushed the door open and sat right across from Qi Shuangshuang, obliterating the thread of thought she had just gathered.
Qi Shuangshuang rubbed her aching head, watching Luo Yao irritably pour water and drink tea, then angrily complain to her, "The Ghost Messengers and Wu Chang sent out are becoming more useless by the day!
Before leaving, I explicitly told Luo Feng to keep an eye out and not let anyone die inexplicably and lose their soul. And the result? My words were all in vain!
You know what? Luo Feng just sent me a message—there’s been another incident! This time, over a hundred people suddenly died prematurely without their souls leaving any trace!
Seriously, I’m speechless. So many people have died right under their noses, and not a single Ghost Messenger or Wu Chang has detected it! I’m absolutely furious!"
Luo Yao slammed the table with such force that it made the teapot and teacups jump, spilling tea all over the table.
Without minding the tea spilled on the table, Luo Yao grabbed the teapot and poured himself more tea, angrily gulping it down.
Qi Shuangshuang furrowed her brows heavily. Previously, only a dozen people went missing, but now over a hundred vanished at once—it’s truly arrogant!
Although Qi Shuangshuang was also angry, not in the same way as Luo Yao for blaming the Ghost Messengers and Wu Chang for being ineffective. If this is indeed some powerful evil entity, then it’s normal for them not to detect it.
Qi Shuangshuang was infuriated by this harmful entity behaving outrageously—knowing that so many Ghost Messengers and Wu Chang were dispatched, yet it doesn’t care about being watched.
Despite knowing that it’s being watched, it still dares to harm people so boldly—it’s a blatant provocation to the Underworld, and to her! Who does it think it’s underestimating? Confident that she can’t find it!
Qi Shuangshuang mulled over angrily, but after a brief moment of anger, she calmed down. Now is not the time for anger; the more infuriated one becomes, the more they lose their rationality.
Once a person cannot ensure rationality, mistakes follow, which would play right into that entity’s plans. However, looking at the unrelenting anger in Luo Yao beside her gave Qi Shuangshuang another headache.
Luo Yao always had a cold and self-sufficient appearance, giving a first impression of being reclusive and self-disciplined, but in actuality, his personality was nothing like his appearance.
Luo Yao was someone who easily explodes with anger, constantly prone to eruptions, and preferred actions over words when dealing with matters.
Tasking him with a directionless investigation would certainly get on his nerves as he wasn’t suited for it. Before setting out with Luo Yao, Qi Shuangshuang was prepared to handle the tasks alone.
But now she feared that Luo Yao’s volatile temper could lead him to do something unexpected, disrupting her plans. Whether they could catch this unknown entity would then become uncertain.
When it came to fighting, Qi Shuangshuang assured herself that she would not fear even facing off against the Netherworld King. But the trouble now was that this entity might not be dealt with purely by Martial Power; the priority was to capture it.
The opponent was undoubtedly skilled at concealing itself and had no intention to clash head-on with Underworld forces. Although it was arrogantly committing crimes in broad daylight, it managed to eliminate traces impeccably.
