Chapter 118: Investigation

Ling Pingan sat at the counter, imagining the world he had created.

Words by words were typed out.

Sentences by sentences appeared on the screen.

That was the first chapter of his new book, which took place in the early Beisong dynasty, which was almost a thousand years ago.

The main character was a time traveler from the modern city of 2838 in the Republic era.

But he was not a time traveler either.

To be precise…

He was a person who died and was reborn in the modern world. Then, he returned to his world.

Guo Rong!

Emperor Shizong of the Great Zhou dynasty!

He received the help of a higher dimensional being and returned to a thousand years ago.

But there was a slight deviation in the time-travel. He was not sent to the time before he died to return to save his country and children.

Instead, he appeared in the middle of the Beisong dynasty, during the so-called period of Renzong.

He became a small landlord outside Bianjing.

That was the first chapter of the story.

After writing this chapter, Ling Pingan checked it carefully and felt that it was fine.

The first chapter pointed out the main storyline of the story, which was revenge.

He took revenge on the descendants of Zhao Da and Zhao Er, who bullied orphans and widows. He even hinted that he wanted to give them a taste of their deeds.

He also introduced the era of the main character.

More importantly, he told the readers that the main character was ridiculously awesome!

Zhou Shizong, Chai Rong was the best of the five generations of emperors, and his martial arts skill was incredibly outstanding!

At the same time, he was not weak in terms of governance. After being affected by modern civilization, he understood the importance of organization and the general trend of history.

Naturally, he had an easy way.

Then, Ling Pingan began to think about the following plot.

“First, I have to attract hatred!” He thought, “The main character must be persecuted, persecuted by treacherous officials…”

“Then, the main character must show the confidence of ‘although I’m being persecuted, I know I can counter-kill’ in the process, and must do the corresponding action…”

“It’s best to show the main character’s resourcefulness and force in this plot…”

What did the readers like to see?

Of course, it was a straightforward plot, a quick and decisive turn.

“Yes, in this process, it’s best to portray a female confidant… a female main character or supporting woman character who never leaves the main character and possesses all kinds of traditional female virtues!”

Thus, Ling Pingan had an idea.

Since the main character was Zhou Shizong, he was naturally a tolerant and generous person.

He was also an extremely confident and calm person.

With the influence of modern civilization, his every action should be like a hero standing out from the crowd, attracting the jealousy and hostility of the people around him.

The suppression and the persecution were because of that.

The more Ling Pingan thought about it, the happier he was.

He began to list the details of the following plot on the document.

… … … ..

Situ He walked into the almost burnt-out night snack shop.

There was a very intense psionic reaction in the air.

That meant that a short but intense battle had taken place here.

The intense psionic reaction had even destroyed a part of the space.

Logically speaking, even if only a little of such a battle was leaked, the street would be destroyed.

It might even create a huge storm that would affect the entire Jiangcheng city.

However, both parties were very restrained. They even intentionally limited the destruction to this small barbecue shop.

Therefore, all the violent energy was restrained.

Moreover, after a short fight, both sides left the place.

However…

“Seal this area!” Situ He turned around and ordered. “Do not open it to the public for half a year!”

The violent psionic energy that permeated this place was not suitable for any ordinary person to get in contact with.

Although the psionic energy had been deliberately restrained.

But what if?

If something unexpected happened, dozens of lives might be lost!

At the same time, Situ He ordered Xia Ping, who was beside him, “Investigate the owner of this midnight snack shop. I want to know everything about him!”

When he said this, Situ He looked at the few corpses on the ground that had only skin left.

They had the appearance of fish. However, their body tissues and structures had been completely destroyed by the violent psionic power. Their flesh and blood seemed as if they were blown away by the wind.

Obviously, the one fighting had the psionic attribute similar to the wind.

The other party was the owner of the midnight snack bar, the man who had disappeared.

The people who looked like fish were the shop assistants.

Thinking of this, Situ He ordered, “Find out who ate their takeout in the recent orders of the midnight snack store.”

“Investigate and isolate all the people who are in contact with them!”

The Blackguards were very familiar with this kind of thing.

So, Situ He received the report not long after.

However, he took only a glance and threw the report away because none of the words in it were valuable.

The shop, including the owner and all the information, were all fake!

The industrial and commercial registration was fake!

The hygiene business license was also fake!

The owner’s ID card was fake, and all of them were fake.

Even the name of the owner, Zhou Ke, was fake!

After investigation, all the managers might have been confused by some spell.

Because they claimed that they had checked all the documents.

But the truth was that all the documents in the file were blank!

“Put them into category A files!” Situ He said to Xia Ping, “The name of the file is ‘The Murloc mystery in Jiangcheng City’!”

In the two hundred years of the Federal Empire, there were too many similar unsolved mysteries.

Some clues could be found later, while others couldn’t.

Now, Situ He was only worried about one thing. The owner of this midnight snack shop came for the owner of the bookstore on the other side of the river.

Soon, the thing he was worried about happened.

The people sent to investigate the customers of the midnight snack shop found out from the order form of the delivery platform that the midnight snack shop received an order from Qiyuan bookstore in the industrial park across the river last night.

The owner of the midnight snack shop delivered the goods personally!

The surveillance cameras also proved that.

“So…” Situ He couldn’t help but imagine, “The fight happened here because a monster in the bookstore was attacking the unknown person who tried to get close to their owner?”

“After a short battle, that monster achieved its goal and chased away the owner of this midnight snack shop?!”

Thinking of this, Situ He’s soul trembled tremendously.

He who had cultivated the “Ghosts and Souls” immediately knew that he could not continue to think about it.

If he continued to think about it, something terrible would happen!

He quickly stopped his imagination and said to Xia Ping, “Gather all the customers of the midnight snack shop at the federal army base and tell them that they were invited to watch the annual exercise of the Federal Army!”

That was something that most people liked to see.

It was also a perfect excuse to isolate and observe.

“As for him…” he looked across the river. “Don’t alarm him!”

“Keep everything as usual!”

“Yes!”
