Zhang Feng felt a chill pressing sensation.
Listening to Ma Xiaotong's crying and howling, his eyes involuntarily twitched a few times.
A female ghost, kneeling in front of you, crying out, Officer, please save me?
A scene like this, being upright officers, Officer Hu and Officer Ma would definitely never dare to imagine.
Zhang Feng grabbed Ma Xiaotong's arm and pulled her up from the ground.
The cold temperature on that arm, aside from a death-like chill, also had an almost normal chilly feeling.
Which made Zhang Feng slightly moved in his heart.
Could it be that Ma Xiaotong's corpse had been preserved in ice all along?
Like zombie pork, like that... uh...
If all zombie meat in this world looked so beautiful and lifelike, it wouldn't be too bad...
Zhang Feng shook his head, driving all the strange thoughts out of his mind.
Then he said to Ma Xiaotong:
"First, tell me how you turned out like this, and what's the deal with you and Lv Dong?"
At the mention of her experience, Ma Xiaotong's face once again twisted in ferocity.
But this time, the furious Yin energy wasn't directed at Zhang Feng:
"That scumbag..."
Ma Xiaotong's voice came through gritted teeth.
In her tones, sometimes angry, sometimes sad, sometimes helpless, Zhang Feng understood the course of events.
The beginning was just as Zhang Feng had guessed.
Twenty years ago, fishmonger Cheng Bing had evidently just met the Evil Cultivator.
But had already realized the power of the Evil Cultivator and started to look for a woman who could meet the Evil Cultivator's conditions.
By a twist of fate, Ma Xiaotong, who had altered her birth date, appeared in his view.
Seventeen-year-old Ma Xiaotong was kidnapped by Cheng Bing.
Just like the situation when Zhang Feng rescued Shen Xing'Er before.
She was forced to ingest a drug specially developed by the Evil Cultivator.
When the drug was about to take effect, she was delivered to the Evil Cultivator.
After sending her, Cheng Bing and his group left, completely unaware of what would happen next.
The Evil Cultivator, of course, was ready to turn Ma Xiaotong into his cultivation furnace when the drug's effects were perfectly in place.
However, he didn't expect that at first glance at Ma Xiaotong, he felt something was off about her.
After using his method to calculate, he found that Ma Xiaotong wasn't the woman he needed!
Instantly enraged, finding out that she had altered her birth date?
Continually absorbing Spiritual Qi to quench thirst, the Evil Cultivator, in extreme anger.
At the height of the drug's effects on Ma Xiaotong, did nothing to detoxify her.
Instead, forcibly extracted Ma Xiaotong's soul from her body under those circumstances.
Ma Xiaotong naturally died instantly.
Then he detained Ma Xiaotong's soul using a special method.
Turning Ma Xiaotong into a vengeful spirit filled with extreme resentment.
Even using a Talisman method preventing Ma Xiaotong from turning against him.
She could only obey the Evil Cultivator, becoming his slave.
All the way until now.
And it was seven years ago.
The Evil Cultivator transferred the vengeful spirit Ma Xiaotong and her frozen corpse to Lv Dong for free.
Instructing Lv Dong to place the box containing vengeful spirit Ma Xiaotong in victim Xu Yizhong's room.
Even providing Lv Dong with a rather substantial amount of money.
And Ma Xiaotong also informed Zhang Feng.
Lv Dong seemed to have tasted success from it.
In seven years, three times in total, he relied on her to eliminate his thorns and pains.
The cases for these three incidents were also determined as suicides.
Just because the identity of those three victims was far inferior compared to Xu Yizhong.
Therefore, they didn't attract excessive attention.
Listening to Ma Xiaotong's account, Zhang Feng's expression became slightly grave.
A solemn look spread over his eyes, and turning to Ma Xiaotong, he said sternly:
"Do you know what was the identity of the person you killed seven years ago?"
Ma Xiaotong instantly shook her head and said:
"I don't know his identity."
"But! Regardless of his identity, or whether my actions were controlled or coerced, I am fully aware of my deep sins."
"I am willing to accept any punishment!"
"However!" When she said this, there was a trace of viciousness in Ma Xiaotong's eyes:
"Even if it means walking on blades or boiling myself in oil! I must see that scumbag with a cross tattoo die in front of me!"
As Ma Xiaotong spoke, the air around her kept swirling.
If it wasn't for Zhang Feng being extraordinary, possessing the Supreme Yang and Firm aura within him.
Otherwise, if it were any ordinary person, they would have turned into ice by now.
Looking at Ma Xiaotong, Zhang Feng slowly nodded.
He could see that Ma Xiaotong's previous killings weren't her true intention, that she was coerced and had no choice but to do so.
This was also evident from when he first entered; she invited him to dine with her and then apologized, showing her genuine nature.
Ma Xiaotong was intrinsically a kind person.
Moreover, she stated proactively that she was willing to accept any punishment.
This in itself is something few can do, not to mention a ghost.
Zhang Feng slowly nodded and said:
"Although you were indeed coerced, your punishment is inevitable..."
"However, this punishment is not here, but it will begin once all your obsessions on earth are gone, and your soul dissipates to where it should go."
"An obsession?"
Hearing this, Ma Xiaotong was momentarily taken aback, a pensive look appearing in her eyes, then she asked:
"Then... Officer, does a ghost have only one obsession?"
If there was only one, then her only obsession would be to see that Evil Cultivator die before her.
However, Zhang Feng shook his head and said:
"No, an obsession isn't singular, so...."
He looked up at Ma Xiaotong and said:
"The only way to relieve your current suffering is to let your soul find peace."
"Eliminating the Evil Cultivator would be one of your obsessions, but... the whereabouts of that Evil Cultivator are still under investigation, and currently, it's unsolvable."
"However, if you have other obsessions, I can help you with those first, in exchange... help me make Lv Dong confess his crime from seven years ago!"
"Really?!" At these words, Ma Xiaotong surprisingly showed a hint of delight in her eyes, for reasons unknown.
Facing Ma Xiaotong's delight, Zhang Feng was a bit surprised too, but he nodded and said:
"Of course it's true...."
"Tell me, do you have..."
"I do!" Ma Xiaotong eagerly nodded before Zhang Feng could finish, even grabbing onto Zhang Feng's big hand, said:
"Officer! As I mentioned earlier, when the drug took its worst effect on me, he forcibly extracted my soul, so that pain is etched deep in my bones! I can't forget it."
"So, Officer, I beg you, help me not to suffer anymore!"
"What did you say?!" Zhang Feng suddenly let out a low shout, his voice even cracking a bit!
He looked at Ma Xiaotong before him, utterly baffled.
The drug effect bothers you... and you want me to resolve it...
Isn't that...
Zhang Feng "gulped!" heavily swallowed, his face turning a bit pale as he mused internally:
"Am I really going to Wei Kun?!"
