At this moment, Zhang Feng was contemplating whether to open his Celestial Eye in advance to see what was happening inside.

If he opened the Celestial Eye, would the spiritual qi fluctuations from his body attract the attention of the Evil Cultivator inside?

If he didn't open the Celestial Eye, he wouldn't know what was happening inside...

However, just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard the rapid sound of high heels approaching from a distance.

This made Zhang Feng pause instantly, turning his head instinctively to look.

He found Mu Qianqian rushing towards him, waving her hand anxiously.

"Mu Qianqian?"

Why is she back here?

At this thought, Zhang Feng flickered and appeared directly in front of Mu Qianqian.

Stopping Mu Qianqian's movements.

After all, she couldn't get any closer, the Evil Cultivator was performing a ritual inside!

"Qianqian, why are you here? How did you know I was here?"

Mu Qianqian clearly wasn't concerned about how fast Zhang Feng arrived in front of her.

Instead, she was panting and urgently grabbing Zhang Feng's arm, saying:

"I split up with Wang Qian to look for you, and I just saw you here!"

"Oh no, forget about that!"

"Didn't you tell me to unlock the room next door at 11:30?"

"I just went there and found out that the lock had already been opened, and there was no one inside."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this news, Zhang Feng's pupils suddenly contracted.

With a "swoosh," he turned his head, his pale golden eyes instantly locking onto the distant circular building.

At this time, he no longer cared whether using the Celestial Eye would cause any spiritual qi fluctuations that the Evil Cultivator would notice.

The Celestial Eye opened directly.

With the x-ray vision, he saw the scene inside the circular building clearly.

Four small animals were kneeling on the ground, and the elderly Evil Cultivator from the video was standing on the platform at the golden top of the altar pyramid.

On the left was Lin Rui's father's corpse, and on the right was Qin Huan, whose hands and feet were bound and whose mouth was gagged!

When did Qin Huan get brought here?

How did he not even notice this at all?

No, although I don't know what the Evil Cultivator wants with Qin Huan,

But Qin Huan is an ordinary person after all. If he were to be cruelly harmed by an Evil Cultivator, especially right in front of me, it wouldn't make any sense, would it?

Hence, Zhang Feng immediately turned to Mu Qianqian and said:

"You should quickly find Wang Qian now, and the two of you find a place to hide. Make sure you hide well; someone will come to rescue you."

"Go quickly!"

Mu Qianqian knew that this was the time for Zhang Feng and these righteous individuals to act, so she definitely wouldn't stay to create havoc.

So she nodded and said:

"Okay, take care of yourself too!"

After saying this, she turned around to leave but paused slightly, grabbing Zhang Feng's hand. Her eyes were filled with a strange glow as she said:

"Your eyes glow golden, it's so cool!"

After saying this, Mu Qianqian ran off, continuing to search for Wang Qian.

This statement left Zhang Feng momentarily stunned.

Oh no!

In the urgency of opening the Celestial Eye, I forgot that Mu Qianqian was beside me!

But...

Why did Mu Qianqian not even seem surprised?

I don't know, let's not worry about her.

I need to figure out how to rescue Qin Huan first.

Hence, Zhang Feng's body transformed into a bolt of lightning, rushing towards the circular building in an instant.

Just as he was about to break in, a sentence echoed in his ear, causing Zhang Feng to halt immediately.

The voice echoing in his ears was naturally coming from inside the circular building.

It was the Evil Cultivator speaking, seemingly addressing Qin Huan, who had just come to.

"Why does your Special Ninth Bureau always go against people like us?"

Special Ninth Bureau?!

Zhang Feng halted in his tracks.

What kind of thing is this?

Given the current situation, it was clear that the Evil Cultivator hadn't noticed the spiritual qi fluctuations when he opened the Celestial Eye.

Nor did he know that Zhang Feng was spying on his actions.

Instead, he stood on the golden top, his attention focused entirely on Qin Huan.

After saying this, a faint movement of his finger.

The tape over Qin Huan's mouth began to peel off.

She had just regained consciousness a moment ago.

Earlier she had been nervously waiting in the room where she was detained, ready for Zhang Feng's people to come and rescue her, as planned.

But as she waited, she wasn't sure why she fell asleep.

By the time she woke up, her hands and feet were tied, her mouth gagged, and she found herself here.

The altar in front was filled with sacrificial items, and the corpse hanging on the cross added to her fear.

Zhang Feng wasn't here either.

Could it be that Zhang Feng had already encountered danger?

Were they exposed from the very beginning?

She was still worried about Zhang Feng's safety.

Soon, she noticed the Evil Cultivator standing on the golden top.

Immediately, her feeling of righteous indignation expelled all her inner fears.

She glared at the Evil Cultivator and said coldly:

"It's not us against you, it's you against us, against society, against all ordinary people!"

"Therefore, you must face the Special Ninth Bureau's punishment!"

"Hiss——"

Outside, as Zhang Feng spied on everything inside, a glimmer of surprise appeared in his eyes:

"So that's how it is?"

So Qin Huan was aware of these special matters all along, while I obliviously pretended in front of her?

Through this exchange between the Evil Cultivator and Qin Huan, Zhang Feng seemed to have guessed something.

Although, in this world, spiritual qi is extremely sparse, with barely any cultivators, and no particularly special things.

But actually... like this Evil Cultivator, and like Ma Xiaotong before,

There indeed exist some supernatural phenomena in this world.

Things that natural sciences find hard to explain.

Clearly, the leaders above surely know this too.

So, there's definitely some department specifically tasked with handling these matters.

Ordinary people have no idea about the existence of this department, nor do they have any dealings with it...

Such a department seems akin to something like a Supernatural Investigation Bureau.

And this Qin Huan, is she personnel from such a department?

Her identity at the Rain City sub-bureau was a facade?

Understood!

Zhang Feng suddenly realized.

Xu Yizhong... doesn't seem to be Qin Huan's online dating partner, right?

It's just that someone above suspected Xu Yizhong's death was related to something supernatural, hence they sent someone to investigate.

And then, Qin Huan fabricated a story, portraying a traffic cop in an online relationship with Xu Yizhong, and came to Rain City as the head of the criminal investigation department.

The reality was that for several years, she had been investigating supernatural phenomena.

And then, let me solve it?

Later, I became the supernatural phenomenon?

So her coming to B City wasn't even because of a work transfer but for... investigating me?!

Suddenly, Zhang Feng seemed to understand a lot.

My trip to Haicheng was clearly a homicide case, a field assignment.

But strangely, they insisted Qin Huan follow me alone.

Originally... it was like this!

Also, why did Shen Hanshan voluntarily send someone to accompany me this time?

Could it be that Brother Shen is also related to this Special Ninth Bureau?!
