Spirit Realm Walker - Chapter 32

Chapter 32 Powerless

“I saw what the murderer looked like!”

Zhang Yuanqing’s dull eyes regained their liveliness. He immediately turned his head and looked at his two colleagues.

As he spoke, he felt a sharp stab of fear. The shadow of death lingered for a long time.

The feeling of devouring a spirit body was both satisfying and uncomfortable.

Li Dongze and Guan Ya felt relieved. The former quickly asked, “What did he look like? Well, anything distinctive.”

Zhang Yuanqing recalled and said, “Male, 30-35 years old, medium build, burly, has a scar on his left cheek, sparse eyebrows, and a fierce gaze…”

Li Dongze listened patiently, forming a rough outline of the murderer in his mind.

The killer’s facial features were obvious and highly recognizable.

When Zhang Yuanqing had finished, Guan Ya asked: “Did he assault the female victim?”

Zhang Yuanqing recalled the scene before the memory ended. “He should have…”

Guan Ya confirmed a guess in her heart and immediately looked at Li Dongze with a frown.

“Chief, I suspect the killer is mentally ill.”

Zhang Yuanqing did not understand what she meant. He thought to himself, ‘Which fellow in his right mind would do such a cruel thing?’

Li Dongze nodded and said indignantly, “This b*stard should go to hell.”

Seeing Zhang Yuanqing’s blank expression, Chief Li stroked his beard with two fingers and explained, “Remember the punishment mechanism for moral value?”

Zhang Yuanqing nodded.

“The killer killed Zhao Yingjun’s mistress with the intention of silencing her. It’s considered normal behavior. But violating a female victim before a murder would cause him to lose additional moral value points.”

Li Dongze believed that with the IQ of this Songhai University student, it was not difficult to understand the meaning behind it. Oh, it was really possible that he was mentally unstable… Zhang Yuanqing understood.

Spirit Realm Walkers would have a certain amount of moral value points deducted when they committed crimes. Therefore, as long as one was in their right mind, they would try their best not to trigger the punishment mechanism. Killing someone to silence them was a helpless act, but the act of first exposing them before killing them and deducting another sum of morality…

There were only two situations in which someone could do such a thing. One was that they had too many moral value points and were fearless. The other was that there was something wrong with the murderer’s mental state and it was difficult for him to restrain his inner bestial nature.

In comparison, the second was more likely.

At this moment, Old Pervert Guan Ya was extremely serious. She placed one hand on her chest and the other on her chin.

“Spirit Realm Walkers with unstable mental states, whether they have a lawful or evil class, must be eliminated. Such people lurk in metropolitan areas like a time bomb.”

Even if one’s moral value was lower than 60 and their location was announced by the Spirit Realm, attracting the hunt of Spirit Realm Walkers in the same city, during this period, a monster with superpowers could wipe out the people in many streets.

The old pervert looked at the only novice present and admonished, “There are many dangers in the Spirit Realm, especially in the Individual Spirit Realm. The mortality rate is extremely high. Even if many Spirit Realm Walkers successfully complete the mission, they will leave behind an indelible psychological trauma. Over time, mental problems are inevitable.

“Especially you Night Wanderers. If you ever feel like you’re in a state, be sure to let us know. The organization will do psychological counseling for you.”

Zhang Yuanqing couldn’t help but recall everything he had experienced in the Mountain Temple. He nodded with lingering fear. “I understand…”

“By the way, did you find the killer’s DNA at the crime scene?” Zhang Yuanqing asked.

Guan Ya shook her head.

Had the killer packed up everything and left? Zhang Yuanqing felt a twinge of regret. If he had the sperm of the killer in his hands, the red dancing shoes could help find the other party.

At this point, Li Dongze finished his thought and asked: “What else did you see in Zhao Yingjun’s memories?”

“Yes,” Zhang Yuanqing said quickly, waiting for him to ask.

“The killer pressed Zhao Yingjun about the whereabouts of the Holy Grail and the register.”

Holy Grail, register… Guan Ya and Li Dongze looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other’s eyes.

Li Dongze said: “The Holy Grail and the register. What do they represent?”

Zhang Yuanqing shook his head. “There’s no relevant information about them in my memory.”

Li Dongze thought for a moment and frowned.

“This case is more complicated than we thought. Zhao Yingjun hid a lot from us.”

He patted Zhang Yuanqing on the shoulder and praised him.

“Well done. You’ve found an important clue for us. After we arrest and shoot the killer, I’ll ask for credit on your behalf. Well, go follow Guan Ya to confirm the appearance of the killer and get his sketch.”

“Okay, Chief.”

Zhang Yuanqing immediately followed the long-legged lady out.

“By the way,” Li Dongze stopped Guan Ya and said, “Customize a formal suit for him. In the future, wear a formal suit in the unit.”

Zhang Yuanqing was about to say that he wouldn’t come often when Guan Ya said, “Okay.”

After leaving the morgue, Guan Ya chuckled. “You must wear formal clothes in the unit in the future.”

Zhang Yuanqing nodded slightly. “I know. Big companies are very strict about clothes.”

Guan Ya giggled. “No, this has nothing to do with the organization. It’s the chief’s request. He doesn’t think it’s elegant enough to wear civilian clothes.”

What does this have to do with elegance… Zhang Yuanqing complained in his mind. However, when his gaze swept across Guan Ya’s long black silk legs, short skirt, round hips, and white shirt, he suddenly felt that the length was right. One should pay attention to elegance in life.

As he walked, his attribute panel read:

[Name: Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning)

[Race: Human)

(Class: Night Wanderer)

(Level: 1]

(Skills: Night Travel, Spirit Devouring, Great Yin Spirit]

[EXP: 44%]

[Moral Value: 60 (Initial Value)]

His experience points increased from 42% to 44%. After devouring the spirit body, he felt a warm current surge through his body. His entire body felt comfortable, and the power of Great Yin seemed to have increased.

“Sister Guan Ya, I gained 2% experience points?” Zhang Yuanqing said happily.

EXP represented strength. The difference in strength between a Level 1 Night Wanderer with 1% EXP and 99% EXP was extremely huge.

Guan Ya was stunned for a moment. “Oh, yes, there is indeed such a thing. You Night Wanderers can increase experience points by absorbing spirit bodies. However, the Supreme Solitary Sect’s Night Wanderer doesn’t seem to like doing this. Every time we ask them for help, their expressions are always dark and reluctant. Their attitude is very bad.”

“Why?”

The half-blood beauty rolled her pretty, sultry eyes. “How should I know? I’m just a powerless Scout.”

No matter how bad a Scout is at combat, her Level 2 basic attribute can still crush me, right? Moreover, after a Scout advances to Level 4, they will have terrifying individual combat ability. Their physical fitness at the Transcendent Stage will definitely be very strong.

Zhang Yuanqing did not believe her. “Are you really powerless?”

Guan Ya glanced at Zhang Yuanqing’s crotch and smiled, “I’ve never tried. Why don’t we go to the bathroom and you can help me practice?”

Zhang Yuanqing said, “Don’t do this. I’m still a child.”

He immediately took out his phone and said, “Are you free tonight? I’ll go online and book a hotel now. If you don’t mind, you can also practice your squats.”

“Hahaha, you’re so funny.” Guan Ya laughed. “Primordial Beginning, you should come to work more often. With you around, I won’t be bored in the future.”

They left the glass building and entered the Security Bureau’s building. Guan Ya led him to the technical section with ease.

After the technical department carefully questioned the murderer’s facial features, it took a full two hours before they finally roughly reconstructed the murderer’s appearance.

Zhang Yuanqing looked at it and rubbed his chin.

“It kind of does, but it doesn’t feel like it.”

The technician, Zhang, was experienced. He pondered for a moment and said, “Are you referring to facial features or temperament?”

“Temperament, I suppose. The killer’s temperament gives the impression of ferocity.”

“Fierce how? Can you describe it exactly? I know it’s hard to describe. It’s better to have a reference.”

“My mother’s face when I score o in an exam.”

“…okay.”

Finally, the new criminal investigation sketch was completed. Zhang Yuanqing nodded in satisfaction.

“That’s about the look of it. It’s about seventy to eighty percent similar.”

Next, running a comparison through the population information database, they zeroed in on the target.

“Ou Xiangrong, from Gu City, Jiangnan Province. He has been living in Songhai for a long time. 12 years ago, he was sentenced to prison for intentional assault. After he was released, there was no news from him…”

Sitting in her office chair, Guan Ya smiled.

“With this information, we can ferret him out by morning at the latest.”

“So quickly?”

“Well, you have to trust in the abilities of the authorities and us Scouts.” Guan Ya rose and headed for the door. “Primordial Beginning, your work is done. You can go back to school. You don’t have to worry about the rest. Although the Night Wanderer is extremely powerful, you don’t have the courage and mental fortitude of a warrior.”

“Okay,” Zhang Yuanqing answered cheerfully.

In the glass building office, Li Dongze finished reading the information sent by Guan Ya. He opened the “Spirit Realm Walker Management Group of the Kangyang District” and synchronized the information of the murderer in the group.

Big Muscle: “Our new Night Wanderer is very efficient. The identity of the murderer has been confirmed.”

Floater: “@Li Dongze, how does it feel to have a subordinate of the Night Wanderer at your disposal?”

Li Dongze said, “It feels pretty good.”

Tang Guoqiang sent a red packet.

White Dragon: “Alright, don’t be smug. Hurry up and deploy. Inform the Songhai Security Bureau to arrange for people to investigate the vehicles entering and exiting Songhai. Inform the Spirit Realm teams of the various regions to cooperate with us at any time. Hopefully, Ou Xiangrong hasn’t escaped Songhai yet.”

The murderer had committed the crime this morning. It had been five to six hours since then. Not to mention Spirit Realm Walkers, even ordinary people who had been prepared in advance had already fled Songhai.

Ordinary people could track them according to surveillance cameras, but it was difficult for Spirit Realm Walkers to track them. Green Vine said, “Compared to an evil class member who’s waiting to take revenge on the authorities, having him escaping from Songhai is a good thing.”

The former meant that their organization’s Spirit Realm Walkers would be assassinated.

Li Dongze said, “He won’t leave Songhai.”

Big Muscle: “That sure?”

Li Dongze said, “If Ou Xiangrong only wanted to kill Zhao Yingjun, he would have done so long ago. Even if we had the Night Wanderer, by the time we locked onto his identity, he would have already fled Songhai. But why did he choose this time?”

Big Muscle: “Don’t keep me in suspense. Just

say it.”

Green Vine said, “So it’s still a revenge against the authorities?”

Li Dongze said, “No, I’m afraid it’s more complicated than that. My Night Wanderer saw some clues from Zhao Yingjun’s memories. Ou Xiangrong tortured Zhao Yingjun for the Holy Grail and the register.”

The Holy Grail and the register? While the other captains were thinking about the two items with their heads, Big Muscle asked, “What is it?”

Li Dongze ignored him and waited. When his colleagues did not express their views on the Holy Grail and the register, he reluctantly let the matter drop and sent a message.

“Let’s not talk about the Holy Grail and the register for now. Let’s just find the culprit first.”
