Twisted Dreams-Chapter 158 - 30: Soul Hooker Cao Yi
The alley reeked of blood, and the chilling atmosphere was rampant.
Xie Youlin trembled all over, his pants wet, the cigarette burnt down to the butt, still held between his fingers.
Liu Mengmeng dropped the warm corpse in her hands, her big eyes staring at Xie Youlin, her face full of sadness:
"Brother, you’ve lost your sweetness."
The flesh Liu Mengmeng liked was that which turned fearful after being excited.
At such times, people’s blood and meat were different from their usual state.
The blood became more fragrant and sweet, and the meat became more delicious.
Xie Youlin was left only with fear.
Liu Mengmeng stood up, her small face, hair tips, and suit were all stained with blood.
She licked the blood and flesh at the corner of her mouth, smiling sweetly:
"Brother, give me a smile, smile for me, smile for me! Smile for me!!!!!!!"
Her pretty face twisted from cute to menacing, her voice growing more venomous.
"Ah!!!!" Xie Youlin turned to run, his legs giving way as he collapsed to the ground.
He kept crawling backward:
"Don’t come over, don’t come over!
I am the young master of the Xie Family, I am the young master of the Xie Family from the Imperial Capital!
You can’t kill me, you can’t kill me!
My father won’t let you off!"
Liu Mengmeng paused for a moment.
The Xie Family, she seemed to have heard Lord Du Yangming mention it.
Liu Mengmeng turned to look at her sister, her eyes asking for her sister’s opinion.
Liu Yuanyuan said softly:
"So he has a background, then he must be eliminated even more."
Liu Mengmeng giggled:
"Then you can’t be spared, little brother."
Liu Mengmeng pounced on Xie Youlin, her claws piercing into his heart.
The next second, blood splattered everywhere.
Liu Mengmeng lowered her head, after a while, she frowned:
"Tasteless, sour."
Liu Yuanyuan was already accustomed to her sister’s madness, after fiddling with her phone for a while, she said:
"The Cleaner will be here soon. Let’s go, I’ll drive."
Liu Mengmeng nodded obediently, skipping along behind her sister to get in the car.
.....
In the old city district, a finely decorated apartment.
A wedding photo hung at the bedside in the bedroom.
On the bed, the woman was the female lead in the wedding photo, but the man was not the male lead from the photo.
That man was Cao Yi.
In his sleep, Cao Yi suddenly awoke, sitting up, gazing solemnly out the window.
A pale, lotus-root-like arm draped over Cao Yi, and the woman mumbled sleepily:
"What’s wrong, my husband won’t come back, he’s busy fooling around with a vixen, let’s sleep a bit more."
Cao Yi pushed the woman away, put on his clothes, got out of bed.
Just now, he sensed an extremely evil force, right nearby!
The woman was fully awake now, complaining wistfully:
"Are you leaving already?
Will you come back for me?
I can have children for you, I really love you."
Standing at the door, Cao Yi turned back:
"Leave everything to fate."
The woman gazed at the man’s broad back; this man was truly charming. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Unwillingly, she asked:
"Can I at least know your name?"
Cao Yi shook his head, pushed the door open, and left.
.....
In the dim alley, the place had been cleaned thoroughly, not even tire tracks remaining.
The wind blew softly, the streetlights were gentle, who could have imagined a murder had occurred here half an hour ago?
The Cleaners were very skilled at covering current traces with those of past events.
So much so that when Cao Yi arrived at the scene, he discovered nothing.
Cao Yi took a deep breath, a curve at the corner of his lips:
"Experts.
Think you did it secretly?
The scent of blood here isn’t going away.
This is the crime scene!"
Since becoming Extraordinary, Cao Yi possessed formidable Spiritual Power, capable of keen insight, his investigative abilities enhanced multiple folds.
Yet he found nothing unusual here.
Yet the lingering smell of blood was clear to him.
Cao Yi closed his eyes, moving around the alley, murmuring:
"Two women, three men.
One of the men is large-bodied."
Just then, Cao Yi’s ears twitched.
"Help! Robbery!"
Someone was calling for help, very far away, the sound reaching here was already faint.
"Could they still be committing crimes?" Cao Yi looked towards the distance, leaping swiftly in that direction.
.....
This part of the old district was near a railway, sparsely populated on most days.
A masked man held a backpack, a bespectacled man clung tightly to the masked man’s leg, crying pleadingly:
"Brother, please, give me back my money, I beg you!"
The masked man showed disdain:
"I’m just robbing money, I don’t want to take a life.
Is it worth it to risk your life for this small amount of money?
Are you rich people all about money, not life?"
The bespectacled man shook his head, clinging even tighter to the masked man’s leg, shouting desperately:
"Help! Robbery!!"
The masked man’s face turned fierce, kicking the bespectacled man in the chest.
The bespectacled man spat blood, falling to the ground moaning.
"Serves you right! Pah!"
The masked man spat on the ground, intending to leave, only to see a stout silhouette blocking his way.
"Is the law enforcement in the old district so poor that scoundrels consider it a safe haven? It’s my responsibility!"
Cao Yi’s figure emerged from under the streetlight, his eyes skeptical.
This masked man didn’t possess that sinister troublesome power.
The masked man felt insulted, shouting angrily:
"You call me a scoundrel?
I am a Knight!"
Cao Yi sneered:
"Knights commit robbery now?"
The masked man pointed at the bespectacled man:
"I looked into him, an executive at a company.
Despite living in the old district, his annual salary is three hundred thousand.
With so much money, what’s wrong with me asking for a little?
This money isn’t for me to spend, I am robbing from the rich to give to the poor, supporting the needy with it!"
The bespectacled man, finding strength from somewhere, gripped the masked man’s leg once more:
"This is my son’s life-saving money, I beg you, please give it back!"
The masked man hesitated slightly at these words, quickly gripping the bag tighter:
"You rich people can’t be trusted!
Get lost, don’t force me to kill!"
Cao Yi sighed:
"After the Spiritual Energy Revival, I fear people like you the most.
Possessing power, yet following a self-made code against public safety regulations.
You are more terrifying than those who commit murder and arson."
The masked man couldn’t grasp Cao Yi’s meaning, staring at Cao Yi for a while, suddenly realizing he looked familiar.
He squinted:
"I think I’ve seen you on TV.
You are... the Director of Public Security!"
Cao Yi nodded appreciatively:
"A bit knowledgeable."
The masked man put down the bag, his eyes filled with malice:
"Robbing from the rich to help the poor is my mission, killing off you big officials is also my mission.
I guess you reached your position through illegitimate means, drinking the blood of countless commoners with your power!
You, ah, are worse than these wealthy people!"
The masked man’s palm suddenly held a Fireball.
The Fireball shot hastily towards Cao Yi, leaving a trail of hot mist in the air.
Cao Yi chuckled lightly:
"Nine years of compulsory education went to waste."
Cao Yi extended his hand, let out a deep shout:
"Heart Scale!"
A strange phenomenon occurred.
A balance scale appeared in Cao Yi’s palm.
The scale was both illusory and real, unlike anything in the real world.
One end of the scale held a white feather, the light feather tipping the scale into a continuous wobble.
When the Fireball reached Cao Yi, it did not harm him but stopped at the other end of the scale.
Something even stranger occurred.
The Fireball was very heavy, much heavier than the feather, raising the feather to the highest point.
Cao Yi’s eyes glowed with black flame, the same black flame as Li Yang’s.
Cao Yi spoke softly:
"You villain destined for Hell."
