How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 187 White Clothes Professor Xiang Yixiu

A wolf entered Huixian Town and barged into a lakeside cabin, inside which a family of three tourists lived; both adults were bitten to death on the spot, and the child, only three or four years old, was carried by the wolf into the great prairie. The local police chased after them and found the child’s head at the edge of the prairie...

This extremely vicious and highly thrilling case threw the entire Huixian Town into chaos.

Almost all tourists checked out immediately.

Especially those staying in the cabins around Smoky Lake.

Smoky Lake is a tourist attraction. freёwebnoѵel.com

Along the lake, for a hundred miles, numerous cabins have been built to satisfy the idyllic leisure of tourists coming to enjoy the lake and mountain views. These were quite popular initially, but with this incident, safety could no longer be guaranteed. Who would dare to stay? Who still has the mood to enjoy the scenic views?

The local government was alarmed.

The police were alarmed.

Lin Xiaosu left the hotel, checked out, and walked five miles along the small lake before he saw a police cordon, behind which was the lakeside cabin where the crime occurred last night, now sealed off by the police.

Through the cordon, one could see the cabin in disarray.

A person was carefully inspecting inside.

The person was dressed in white clothes, not a forensic uniform, but rather a casual white long-sleeve T-shirt; even the shoes were leather, and he wore rimmed glasses. His age appeared around thirty but not yet forty, giving him a refined and scholarly appearance.

"Is that a forensic scientist?" someone next to Lin Xiaosu asked.

"No, it’s not a forensic! It’s said to be a professor from Nanjiang University, brought over by express vehicle..."

"A university professor, what is he doing here?" the inquiring person was clueless.

Those around didn’t know either...

This case itself wasn’t complicated; it was simply a wolf that attacked an unfortunate family, and what the police needed was not a professor, but someone who could find this wolf.

Even hiring local herders might be more effective than a professor.

At least the herders knew some likely places where wolves might be...

This wolf must be killed.

Because it has eaten a child.

That’s how creatures are; before they have tasted human flesh and learned the flavor, there is a natural fear of bipeds, and they generally don’t attack humans readily.

But once it has eaten humans, it will walk down this menacing path.

Thus, any large wild beast that has eaten humans must be killed.

Even those in zoos and circuses, it’s all the same.

Lin Xiaosu, of course, wasn’t the same as others...

He knew why the professor was summoned...

Just one reason, this wolf was not an ordinary wolf...

Why?

Just from the damage caused by this wolf, one can tell; this lakeside cabin had safety measures. From the outside, it looked like a wooden cottage, elegant and quaint, but in fact, it had steel reinforcements inside, no less sturdy than ordinary houses. Its door was three inches thick, made of local maple with dense steel inside.

Under normal circumstances, not to mention a wolf, even a tiger wouldn’t be able to easily break through this door, yet, it was shattered, the steel inside twisted like twists...

He utilized the Time Retrospection...

The scene from last night appeared before his eyes, and he immediately verified it.

It was a white wolf, the size of an ox with blood-red eyes shining in the dark night, moving like a streak of light with unimaginable speed.

With a flash, it arrived at the lakeside.

With a swipe of its paw, the wooden door shattered to pieces.

Both adults inside were still awake at this moment, and they sprang up immediately, but the white wolf struck, and with one swoop of its paws, both heads became unrecognizable.

Then, the white wolf sauntered through Huixian Town with the child in its jaws, gnawing away as it walked...

The white-clothed professor turned around, holding a strand of hair and observing it against the sunlight...

Lin Xiaosu exited the time retrospection, his Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye peering over thirty meters of space, focused on this white strand of hair, which gleamed like a thread of jade under the sun.

"Professor Xiang, have you figured it out?" a nearby policeman asked.

The white-clothed professor nodded slightly: "Completely confirmed. This is indeed the Kunlun Snow Wolf."

"The Kunlun Snow Wolf from the Ancient Glaciers?" the policeman furrowed his brows: "Aren’t the Kunlun Snow Wolves said to have strong territorial traits, never leaving the glacier region in their lifetime?"

"Kunlun Snow Wolves live in the Ancient Glaciers, not because of territorial traits, they..." Professor Xiang’s voice abruptly stopped as his gaze suddenly passed over the crowd and settled on Lin Xiaosu’s face.

Their eyes met, and Lin Xiaosu felt an odd sensation, as if finding an exception in a vast sea of people.

Professor Xiang turned back to the policeman: "Now is not the time for discussing the traits of snow wolves, but rather to track and kill this snow wolf."

"Yes, sir!" the policeman said. "We’ve hired the most famous local hunter, who is already on the trail."

"The hunter you hired obviously won’t catch the snow wolf, but perhaps someone can."

The policeman asked, "Who?"

"A mysterious detective!" Professor Xiang said with a light smile, "I’ll go invite him."

He crossed the police line, approached the crowd, and walked straight toward Lin Xiaosu. Coming face to face with Lin Xiaosu, he extended his hand: "Detective Lin, hello, I am Professor Xiang Yixiu from the biology department at Nanjiang University."

Lin Xiaosu slightly frowned, "Professor Xiang knows me?"

Xiang Yixiu smiled, "A month ago, Professor Yin from our university led his graduate students into Miyan Road. I was fortunate to accompany Detective Lin. They captured some footage, I’ve seen the footage, so I recognize you!"

His explanation was simple, but meaningful.

Professor Yin from Nanjiang University and his group traveling with Lin Xiaosu was a journey worth interpreting.

The composition of the group was interesting, and their purpose even more so...

Among them were real graduate students, Genetic People, practitioners of Ancient Martial, and those with special bloodlines...

Their goal was to obtain the Bodhi Beyond for research purposes.

However, unlike the ordinary gathering of diverse species from the mountains, this trip was a test.

To see whether among this group, there were good candidates worthy of entering Kun Cang.

If there were, Kun Cang would reward Professor Yin with the Bodhi Beyond.

Lin Xiaosu performed averagely and was perfectly eliminated.

Afterward, he went to Wuxiang Temple and confronted the head monk, revealing their entire journey.

In doing so, Professor Yin probably also gained a different impression of this travel companion.

Now, the consequences of that day’s revelation have borne fruit...

A Professor Xiang Yixiu from Nanjiang University has arrived.

He directly exposed his real identity, Lin Xiaosu of Fengcheng’s detective.

What does this imply?

It implies that Professor Xiang clearly did his homework, such as reviewing the footage, checking the data Lin Xiaosu registered in Huixian Town, and possibly even thoroughly reviewing all his past deeds...

Lin Xiaosu extended his hand and gently shook it, "I didn’t expect I have quite a connection with Nanjiang University, Professor Xiang... what is your research direction?"

Xiang Yixiu said, "I am in the same department but a different branch from Professor Yin, he studies plants, and I study animals."

"Such as... Kunlun Abnormalities?"

Xiang Yixiu responded, "You can tell, last night’s beast, was it an abnormality?"

"Of course, ordinary wolves can’t destroy a cabin to this extent."

"The detective’s eyes are indeed sharp!" Xiang Yixiu said, "The Kunlun Snow Wolf is not a native species of Kunlun Mountains, it is unmistakably a creature of the Otherworld, and it is currently at a special period."

Lin Xiaosu’s heart skipped a beat, the Kunlun Snow Wolf itself was an Ancient Creature?

"What do you mean by a special period?"

"It is about to give birth and urgently needs Child Blood to nourish its young, which is the real reason it attacked the lakeside cabin last night. This is also the uniqueness of Ancient Creatures; they possess spirituality, and their offspring also require spiritually rich flesh and blood for cultivation. In the Mortal World, humans are the most spiritual beings, and human children, with their boundless spirituality and purity, are the ideal nourishment for them."

The police officer accompanying him turned pale, "So, its next target will still be children."

"Yes! From this moment, children within a thousand miles will not be safe!" Xiang Yixiu asserted, "Thus, I urgently need Detective Lin’s renowned tracking skills to help me find this glacier wolf. Even a slight delay could mean innocent children might fall victim to the wolf."

Lin Xiaosu stated, "In that case, I won’t protest. Let’s go, Professor!"

"Let’s go!"

Together, the two strode forward, and everyone behind them was astounded. In the blink of an eye, they were already a hundred meters away, and in the next instant, their figures disappeared at the street corner...

"They are Genetic People! Oh my, they’re both Genetic People."

"It could also be Ancient Martial. I heard Professor Xiang practices Ancient Martial, inherited from the Da Ri Xiaoyao Temple’s Vajrayana..."

Lin Xiaosu activated Time Retrospection in his right eye, seemingly staring at the ground’s traces, but in fact, he was observing the ground from last night. The situation was critical, and he couldn’t worry about shocking the common world. With great speed, he soon left Huixian Town and entered the vast grassland outside.

Ahead on the grass were bloodstains.

That was the last place the bloodstains remained because that is where the child’s head was found.

Ordinary people could not see this, but Lin Xiaosu saw everything clearly in his eyes.

"Detective Lin, can you tell what place this is?" Xiang Yixiu gently pointed a finger at the faint bloodstain ahead.

"If I can’t even identify the place where a child’s head fell, on what basis do you believe I can track the glacier wolf?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

"Do you want to hear the truth?" Xiang Yixiu said, "Actually, from the bottom of my heart, I don’t really believe you could find the glacier wolf in this vast grassland."

"But you just said, you believe..."

"What is called belief and disbelief is relative. I believe you, even if only a bit, is still better than a local hunter tracking a glacier wolf, right?" Xiang Yixiu laughed, "So I’d rather follow you in vain, at least we are fellows in the same pursuit."

At this moment, Xiang Yixiu wasn’t much like a university professor.

Lin Xiaosu asked, "You think we’re fellows in the same pursuit?"

"Aren’t we? Aren’t we moving towards the same goal? Aren’t we striving for the same mission?" Xiang Yixiu countered.

"So, your ’path’ refers to our common goal and mission?"

"What else? Is your heart’s path only about Martial Arts?" Xiang Yixiu asked again.
