They arrived at the house of the girl who was near crazy with fright. Just as they reached the door, they heard crying and arguing.
Feng Yuanlin motioned for Xiao Shan, Wu Haoming, and Captain Chen to lead.
“Yes, Director Feng!”
Captain Chen led the way and knocked on the door. There was a pause in the noise inside, and it wasn’t long before the door opened. Chi Shuyan looked at the person who opened the door and guessed that it was the girl’s mother.
The middle-aged woman was exceptionally vigilant and terrified. Her face was very haggard. When she saw the police uniform, she heaved a sigh of relief. However, her face didn’t look much better as she stuttered, “Off… officers, may I know what’s the matter?”
Feng Yuanlin said, “Ma’am, we want to meet your daughter to understand some things!”
As soon as Feng Yuanlin finished speaking, the middle-aged woman’s pupils contracted and her eyes grew more and more terrified. Chi Shuyan stared at the trembling hand of the middle-aged woman on the door handle.
At that moment, a lively seven- or eight-year-old boy ran over and tugged at his mother’s clothes. “Mom, the police uncles are here. Big sister is definitely saved! Can we let them in?”
Not long after, the girl’s father also came over. He was an ordinary middle-aged man. He picked up his son and sighed. “Let the police in!”
Only then did the middle-aged woman open the door.
After Feng Yuanlin, Chi Shuyan, and the others entered, the girl’s father had the middle-aged woman get them some water, and said, “Officer, ever since my daughter… was possessed,” the little girl’s father pointed at his head before he continued, “There’s something wrong here. I don’t think you’ll be able to ask her anything!”
Before Feng Yuanlin and Chi Shuyan could speak, Captain Chen, who was dissatisfied with the man’s superstitious beliefs, beat them to it. “Sir, your daughter must have been stimulated by something; she isn’t possessed! This is a modern society, but you still believe in superstitions?”
Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming immediately nodded in agreement with Captain Chen.
Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
Feng Yuanlin frowned silently.
Seeing that the police officer in front of him didn’t believe him, the father was very agitated. “My daughter was really possessed. Officer, ever since my daughter played some kind of spirit summoning game with her friends, a few of the girls died especially tragically and suddenly, for no reason! My daughter was definitely possessed. It’s useless to ask any questions!”
The father’s face turned deathly pale at the thought of the deaths of the other girls. At that moment, the middle-aged woman, who had just poured water for them, really couldn’t take it. She abruptly choked with sobs, and for the first time in her life, wanted to look for a Celestial Master. “Officers, do you know any experts? I don’t want my daughter to die, I don’t want my daughter to die!” At the end of her sentence, the middle-aged woman sobbed uncontrollably.
Chi Shuyan didn’t care if Captain Chen and the others believed in superstitions or not. She said, “Ma’am, I’m a Celestial Master. Can I see your daughter?”
When the middle-aged woman heard the words “Celestial Master,” her face immediately filled with excitement. After confirming repeatedly that the young lady in front of her really was a Celestial Master, she appeared much more enthusiastic and respectful than when she had invited the police in. “Master, Master, this way please. My daughter is in the room! I’ll… I’ll bring you over right away!”
The girl’s father was also enthusiastic and excited. He poured tea for the young lady in front of him, completely ignoring Feng Yuanlin and the other police officers.
Feng Yuanlin, Captain Chen, Xiao Shan, and Wu Haoming: …
Xiao Shan was really depressed and couldn’t help but say to Feng Yuanlin, “Director Feng, why are modern people becoming more and more superstitious? A charlatan actually directly crushed us police officers. This discrimination! Tsk, tsk!”
