23: Chapter 23 Soul Control Technique

"Report this matter to the Evil Suppression Bureau! It is nine times out of ten a Ghost causing trouble," Lu Siye said to Officer Zheng Hai sternly.

"Oh, right, remember to attach the Ghost type. It is a Ghost that possesses curse-based abilities. Ask them to send someone who can handle this type of curse to assist me."

"Understood!" Officer Zheng Hai nodded immediately. He did not even clear his food tray before running off to organize the information to prepare the report.

By the time Lu Siye came back to his senses, the food on the table had already gone cold.

"Who knows the food on the plate, every grain is hard-earned!" Lu Siye stared at the food for a moment and sighed.

Holding onto the idea that everyone is responsible for cherishing food, he picked up his chopsticks and began shoveling the food into his mouth.

Hey! You have to admit, the public canteen food actually tasted pretty good.

...

At night, Lu Siye rode a shared bicycle to a parking spot near Jucai Residential Area. After parking the bike, he walked to the entrance of the residential area.

Jucai Residential Area was an old-fashioned complex from the 70s or 80s. It had been built quite a long time ago, and most of its facilities had aged. The few streetlights in the area were no longer bright, only barely able to illuminate a small area around them.

Since young people nowadays pursue trends and aesthetics, tenants in such old-style residential areas have not only been leaving in recent years, but those who remain are only the elderly who have grown accustomed to living here, and migrant workers looking for cheap rent.

Most of the elderly go to sleep very early at night, so at this time, only a few rooms in Jucai Residential Area still had lights on; the rest of the rooms were already hidden in the darkness of the night.

Lu Siye looked at the old-fashioned residential area in the darkness before him, considering where would be the best place to hide to conduct a sting operation on the Ghost.

Chen Feiguang was no longer at the Public Security Bureau. He had been sent back to Jucai Residential Area in the afternoon, all to avoid alerting the enemy and to lure out the mastermind behind this matter.

"I say, brother, since you are here, come out! It is the middle of summer; are you not afraid of being bitten by mosquitoes hiding under that tree?" After standing for a long while, Lu Siye suddenly turned his head to look at a spot under a tree in the darkness in the distance, then spoke up.

After his words fell, he saw a girl with a sweet appearance and a height of about 1.6 meters walk out from under the tree.

So it was not a brother, but a young lady!

"Hello, handsome. My name is Wang Wenjing. I was sent by the Evil Suppression Bureau to assist with the jumping-off paranormal incident. You can call me Wenjing, or Jing'er, either is fine!"

The girl looked to be in her early twenties, wearing a blue-green patterned long dress, with her hair tied in a single ponytail, her whole person overflowing with youthful energy.

She held a fan in her hand, revealing a sweet smile, and cupped her hands in a salute toward Lu Siye.

Lu Siye narrowed his eyes, looking at the young lady in front of him who called herself Wang Wenjing.

For some reason, from the moment she appeared, Lu Siye felt that there was an indescribable sense of affinity about her.

It was as if someone who loves natural scenery suddenly saw an extremely beautiful natural landscape.

And this feeling, he had also experienced before with Shangguan Qingxue.

It seems this girl in front of him should be a cultivator of the Dao, not a Martial Artist.

"Lu Siye, the appraiser for the jumping-off paranormal incident." Lu Siye also cupped his hands in a salute toward her.

"So you are the fierce brother! No wonder your Qi and blood are so hot and vigorous." Wang Wenjing's eyes lit up, and she stepped forward.

She opened her bright, large eyes and stared openly at Lu Siye.

Lu Siye only felt a faint, fragrant breeze waft toward his nose, smelling a bit like fresh grass, and a bit like floral scent.

Looking at her gaze that revealed a hint of enthusiasm, Lu Siye rubbed his nose, feeling a bit at a loss.

To be honest, in his two lifetimes combined, this was the first time he had been stared at like this by a girl who could be called a beauty.

"Um... why do you call me fierce brother?" Lu Siye decided to find a topic to avoid the atmosphere becoming awkward.

"Pfft~" Wang Wenjing covered her mouth and chuckled, looking at Lu Siye with eyes curved into crescents.

"Big Brother Lu, do you not know? Your name has already spread throughout the Evil Suppression Bureau ever since you hammered those two Earth-bound Spirits and the Porsche into a pancake."

"They say there is such a fierce person who, while still an ordinary person, managed to solo kill an evil Ghost with just a Magical Artifact fruit knife."

"And within less than three days of joining the Evil Suppression Bureau, you cultivated to the Night Patrol Envoy Realm and killed a... *cough cough*... Earth-bound Spirit with three punches."

Wang Wenjing described it excitedly, even clenching her fist and punching the air around her a few times.

"Everyone says he is a peerless Martial Artist Genius that only appears once in a century!"

"Now, in the Evil Suppression Bureau, there is no telling how many people want to see this legendary fierce person in person."

"If it were not for my fast hands in grabbing this mission, your partner this time, Big Brother Lu, would not be a cute girl like me!" Wang Wenjing said playfully.

"Haha, is that so!" Lu Siye rubbed his nose and laughed dryly twice.

So he was that famous in the Evil Suppression Bureau!?

He even had a little fan girl!

"Right, Little Sister Wenjing, have you looked at the files before coming here? What are your thoughts on this incident?"

"According to the files you uploaded, Big Brother Lu, and comparing them with the past archives of the Evil Suppression Bureau, it is very likely that a massive organization is involved behind this matter," Wang Wenjing said, putting away her playful demeanor and speaking with a serious face.

"A massive organization, huh!" Lu Siye thought thoughtfully.

"However! Before meeting the person involved, it is hard to draw a conclusion about this matter!" Wang Wenjing changed the subject.

"Alright then, let us go up and see the person involved first." Lu Siye nodded and led the way.

Chen Feiguang lived in Room 703 on the seventh floor of Building B. Lu Siye and Wang Wenjing were both cultivators; they could reach the seventh floor within ten seconds.

Arriving in front of Room 703, Lu Siye knocked on the door. The person who opened the door was a Public Security Officer he had seen at the Public Security Bureau.

Inside the room, there was another Public Security Officer sitting beside Chen Feiguang, protecting his safety at all times.

"Thank you for your hard work, comrades. You can head back now; we will take it from here." After walking in, Lu Siye said to the two Public Security Officers.

"Then we will leave it to you!" The two Public Security Officers saluted Lu Siye and his companion, then turned and walked out the door.

Lu Siye closed the door, then turned around and watched Wang Wenjing walk up to Chen Feiguang.

Although Lu Siye had reignited the Yang Fire on top of Chen Feiguang's head at noon.

But he had only been conscious for less than two hours, and for the rest of the time, he had been in a state of being completely absent-minded.

Even when Wang Wenjing walked up to him, he did not have any reaction.

Wang Wenjing, after observing Chen Feiguang for a while, her gaze gradually moved from his body to the top of his head.

It seemed she also saw those eerie black lines on Chen Feiguang's body.

After staring at the top of his head for a while, Wang Wenjing formed several hand seals with one hand that Lu Siye could not understand, and then her eyes transformed into a pair of golden pupils.

"How is he?" After a while, Lu Siye asked, watching her pupils return to normal.

"He has been afflicted with the Soul Control Technique, and his soul has been shocked. Fortunately, his Heavenly Soul Yang Fire has not been extinguished; otherwise, even if he could survive this, he would spend the rest of his life either foolish or insane."

Wang Wenjing calmed the True Qi in her Dantian, then turned her head to speak to Lu Siye.

"Soul Control Technique?" Lu Siye murmured.

He could understand the soul being shocked, after all, he had read plenty of novels in his previous life, but what on earth was this Soul Control Technique?
