Chapter 100: [99] The Eternal Night Walker Sends Greetings to You

"Meow~"

A cat's meow interrupted Cheng Han's thoughts.

The black cat gracefully jumped onto the wooden table, curiously looking at the large volume of scriptures.

Cheng Han quickly closed the book and earnestly warned, "Sheriff, this is not a serious book. You must never read it in the future."

Knowing too much about the knowledge related to the foreign gods is not a good thing for a cat.

"Meow~"

The black cat responded seriously. It had seen many strange things and understood what things could be touched and what things should not be touched.

Cheng Han stroked the cat's head and began to explain the cause and effect of the "mistress suspected of being a follower of a foreign god."

He was not only speaking to the sheriff, but also organizing his thoughts.

The black cat listened attentively.

Cheng Han murmured, "How should I deal with 'Xie You'?"

Xie You was the name of the woman.

The black cat raised a paw and waved it, meaning "kill!"

Cheng Han shook his head, "Not appropriate."

The black cat tilted its head.

Cheng Han explained, "Within any group, there are all kinds of people. It is not advisable to adopt a one-size-fits-all approach."

"For example, in the officialdom, there are both greedy people like 'Xiang Zhengqi' and people like Principal Yanshan who are loyal to their duties."

"Moreover, humans are contradictory beings. Take 'Long Xingyun' for example. This old rogue has the courage to face the bizarre situation head-on, but he also has a lot of dirty money hidden."

The black cat seemed to be deep in thought.

Humans are so troublesome!

It's better to be a cat!

Cheng Han roughly sorted out his thoughts, "There is probably a cult lurking in Xie You's circle. I plan to use her as a breakthrough to dig out these rats."

His tone became slightly excited, "How can a cult not have extraordinary items? Maybe I can get my hands on a treasure."

The blood of the foreign gods and the stone of the divine soul had already given him a taste of success, so he naturally wouldn't mind having more good things.

The black cat timely meowed, offering its services.

It had been too idle recently and missed its adventures in the dark night.

Cheng Han laughed, "Don't worry! I won't leave you out of the action!"

The black cat happily wagged its tail.

Cheng Han recalled Xie You's image and silently deduced her situation, "Predicting this woman's circumstances."

A series of images flashed by.

Her current situation was not very good.

But there was no immediate danger to her life.

Cheng Han suddenly moved his body and sighed, "As a young man full of vitality, I always recall these naked scenes. It's a bit too stimulating."

He was very worried that something unspeakable would happen in the middle of the night, wouldn't that be embarrassing?

Cheng Han muttered, "Washing underwear is such a hassle."

The black cat listened, feeling puzzled.

Was the owner planning to make Xie You wash his underwear?

Sometimes.

Xie Youmeng quite detests her own exceptional beauty, but she lacks the courage to destroy it.

Because of this extraordinary beauty, she not only enjoys a comfortable life but also endless troubles.

And humiliation.

At this moment.

Xie Youmeng has a clear feeling that the fat man guarding the prison cell is looking at her with eyes full of undisguised desire, as if he wants to strip her clothes off with his gaze.

It's truly nauseating!

"Miss Xie!"

The fat man's voice floats over.

Xie Youmeng detects a hint of salivation in it.

She can be one hundred percent certain that this filthy scum will once again make that disgustingly repulsive request.

Sure enough.

"As long as you are willing to serve me through the bars once, I might be able to provide you with some small conveniences, such as passing on some messages..."

The sentence is not finished.

Suddenly, it stops.

Xie Youmeng is a bit surprised.

Could it be that the stern and rigid old woman has arrived?

Although she despises the disdainful gaze of the old woman, she cannot deny that it is the presence of the old woman that prevents the scum from acting recklessly.

Xie Youmeng raises her head and steals a glance.

What she sees makes her heart skip a beat.

The greasy fat face of the scum is devoid of its usual lecherous expression, replaced by a blank expression.

The person's gaze seems to have lost focus, with a faint blue glow flickering in it.

This is obviously not right.

Xie Youmeng curls up her body, filled with fear.

Could it be that she has encountered something strange?

At this moment.

The scum suddenly bows with a vacant expression and says in a mechanical tone, "Madam, the Nightwalker greets you."

Xie Youmeng is startled, and the word "puppet" instantly pops into her mind.

She swallows her saliva and trembles as she replies, "Hello!"

As far as she knows, there are two powerful warriors among the guards of this secret prison.

The person who calls himself the "Nightwalker" has actually controlled the fat man right under the authorities' noses, which shows how powerful he is.

"Madam, please rest assured that I have no intention of harming you. I just want you to do a trivial favor for me..."

The scum's voice has no fluctuations in tone, but the more so, the more it makes people's hair stand on end.

"And in exchange, I will try to help you escape from this prison and regain your freedom."

This condition sounds very tempting.

However, Xie Youmeng doesn't want to agree at all.

She would rather stay in the prison, enduring the scum's disgusting gaze, than make a deal with a mysterious and unpredictable strong person.

The next sentence from the other party surprises Xie Youmeng once again.

"Madam, forgive me for being blunt, but you don't have the right to choose."

Xie Youmeng's voice trembles even more: "I... I'm just an ordinary person, I'm afraid I don't have what you want."

She instantly realized that the Nightwalker probably possessed extraordinary abilities like "mind reading".

Communicating with such a person was really stressful.

"No, you do! Madam, I hope you understand that deception and concealment are not helpful in solving problems, they only make things worse."

Xie You's heart sank deeply.

This was her biggest secret, and she didn't expect the Nightwalker to know about it too.

This person was too terrifying!

"Madam, today's communication ends here. Please wait for good news."

Xie You breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, by the way, I will give you an extra gift."

In the next instant.

The fat man came back to life, and his tone became lecherous again: "...what you have paid is just words, but maybe there is a chance to gain freedom."

It was obvious.

This guy had no idea what had happened to him.

Xie You watched this scene and felt a chill down her spine.

Although she didn't understand extraordinary methods, she had a feeling that this "instant switching" puppet manipulation was an extremely sophisticated technique.

Two seconds later.

Xie You finally knew what the other party meant by "small gift".

"Ah~"

The fat man covered his lower body and howled desperately.

At first, he could still stand, just clenching his legs;

Later, he fell to the ground, writhing in pain;

Finally, blood flowed from between his fingers, a deep red.

Xie You watched in astonishment.

What kind of method was this?

Soon.

The guards were alarmed and dragged the fat man out.

Xie You stared at the bloodstains on the ground, feeling a deep sense of awe.

Shan Yi Fang.

Cheng Han enjoyed the warmth of the fireplace and silently recited, "Divination!"

An illusion flashed:

The fat man lay on a wooden table, his pants cut open, revealing a bloody mess.

"Ah~"

The pig-like screams were so loud that they annoyed the doctor.

After examining for a while, the doctor shook his head regretfully, "It can only be cut off."

In a moment.

The illusion disappeared.

Cheng Han smirked, "As far as I know, eunuchs usually have longer lifespans than ordinary people because they have fewer desires. You're welcome!"

To make a person live ten more years without expecting anything in return, what kind of behavior was that?

Of course, it was an act of kindness!

According to deduction, the official investigators will detect a drug called "Night Orchid Root" in the fat man's teacup. This substance is quite stimulating.

Apart from that, there are no suspicious traces or residues of any extraordinary means.

Based on this, it can be determined that the fat man made some kind of deal with the female suspect and took Night Orchid Root in advance. However, due to the excessive dosage, his blood became too concentrated, resulting in an accidental "bursting" incident.

Cheng Han's mood was quite pleasant: "In short, this is a typical case of drug abuse."

As for the origin of Night Orchid Root.

It's too simple.

Send a bird to quietly fly into the fat man's office and sprinkle some powder into his teacup. Is that difficult?

*

Fifteen minutes later.

Cheng Han conducted a second deduction.

The illusion showed a scene near the Sixteenth Primary School.

The area around the primary school is crowded with people, so there are many stalls, including a familiar figure - Zhang Dashan.

This one-armed man is guarding a stall with his wife, and there is a wooden sign next to it with a line of words: Pancake Fruit, 2 copper coins each.

Today is the first day the couple set up the stall.

Because it's something new, business is naturally slow.

Both husband and wife have a worried look on their faces.

Cheng Han shook his head: "They really have no imagination! Hiring people to line up, performing talents, offering free samples, any of these methods would improve business, wouldn't they?"

Although according to the deduction, waiting for some time would bring fame due to the strangeness, he decided to lend a hand.

After all, a blank ticket is a treasure that should be repaid.

Cheng Han held a wooden carving and gently rubbed it.

Soon.

Various people and horses, one after another.

The first group was a street performer. He walked up to the stall, playing tricks while shouting, "Two copper coins can't buy a loss, can't be fooled."

The second group was a group of salesmen. Each of them had a plate with a pile of pancake fruits on it, cut into small pieces, and they were offering free samples to passersby.

The third group was more than twenty customers, lined up in front of the stall.

Zhang Dashan and his wife were initially shocked, but later they enthusiastically joined in.

Cheng Han smiled: "The 'Dark Spirit Secret Puppet' is indeed useful."

This extremely powerful puppet technique encompasses various extraordinary means.

The method used to deal with the fat man earlier is called "Dark Persona."

As the name suggests, it quietly establishes an independent persona that can be switched at any time, and the host is completely unaware of it, while the Dark Persona can be controlled remotely.

The current method is called "Implanted Memories."

A group of extras have had memories implanted, believing that they have been hired to come and promote a stall, and their subconscious will spontaneously rationalize any strangeness.

Of course.

This is not a blank ticket.

The extras have received their rewards.

Cheng Han scratched the cat's head and concluded: "A successful puppeteer should always hide behind the scenes and never appear in front of anyone."

"Meow~"

The black cat looked confused.

What has its owner done again?
