16: Should I avoid his attack for the time being?

Looking at Lu Ming, who seemed like a God of Slaughter descended.

Li Mo's throat made a "ho ho" sound.

At this moment, he no longer cared about his dignity and knelt directly on the ground.

"Don't kill me!!!"

"I'm willing to cooperate! I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything, I have clues about the Myriad Gods Sect!"

These three words were like a stone thrown into a deep pool, stirring up a thousand-layered giant wave in the hearts of Zhao Li, Wang Yaowen, and Lin Haowen.

With the resurgence of spiritual energy and the invasion of foreign races, there were those who advocated war, and there were also those who advocated surrender.

The Myriad Gods Sect was the representative of the surrender faction.

They believed that humans were weak and pitiful and should cling to some powerful races, offering blood sacrifices regularly in exchange for their protection.

In those dark years, this voice even once became the mainstream.

Until the Empress emerged, carving out a path to peace.

Since then, the Myriad Gods Sect had completely degenerated into rats in the sewers.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, these rats had started to stir up trouble again.

Lu Ming had just joined the Law Enforcement Team and was still only half-aware of these secrets.

But from the expressions on the faces of Zhao Li and the other two, it was not difficult to see that the Myriad Gods Sect was not a good thing.

Lu Ming stared at Li Mo, his eyes sharp as knives: "Tell me!"

"Law..."

Li Mo's lips trembled, and just as he was about to utter the first word, he was suddenly choked by an invisible hand.

His eyes widened abruptly, his eyeballs bulged outwards, his already pale face instantly turned ashen, and the veins on his neck twisted wildly like earthworms.

"Uh—!"

A short, muffled groan squeezed from the depths of his throat, and Li Mo's body convulsed violently, his limbs twisting at unnatural angles.

The next second, he slumped to the ground as if his bones had been removed, his skin shriveling at a visible rate.

Lu Ming's pupils contracted sharply, and he moved slightly to shield Zhao Li.

Lin Haowen quickly stepped forward to examine the body, but his fingers recoiled abruptly the moment they touched Li Mo's skin.

"It's the Heart-Devouring Curse! Once the cursed person has thoughts of betrayal, it will immediately activate."

Lu Ming looked at Li Mo's corpse, his brows furrowed into a knot.

Was he trying to say that there was an internal spy in the Law Enforcement Team just now?

"Let's take his body back to the Law Enforcement Team first!"

As for the mountain-like pile of Soul-Devouring Beast corpses, he was momentarily at a loss.

A complete second-realm Soul-Devouring Beast corpse could sell for at least five or six hundred thousand.

But he couldn't find a buyer in a short time, so was he going to drag this monstrous thing home? His storage bag couldn't hold it.

At this moment, Zhao Li, who was shielded behind him, gently tugged at his sleeve and said, "Are you wondering how to deal with this Soul-Devouring Beast corpse?"

Lu Ming turned to look at Zhao Li, somewhat surprised that she could read his mind, then nodded.

Zhao Li's red lips curved into a barely perceptible faint smile:

"Although the Law Enforcement Team also has a recycling department, the process is a bit slow. If Team Leader Lu trusts me, leave it to me. The price won't be lower than the Law Enforcement Team's."

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Ming's eyes. This aloof older sister's identity seemed more complex than it appeared; she dared to compete with the Law Enforcement Team for a share.

But he urgently needed to cash in now and couldn't bother with these details. "In that case, I'll trouble you."

"It's a small matter."

Zhao Li took out her communicator and quickly edited a message to send.

"I've sent the location and the situation of the Soul-Devouring Beast. They should arrive within half an hour."

"Okay, then, let's pack up!"

Lu Ming did not mention the distribution of spoils, and Zhao Li and the other two had no objections.

If it weren't for Lu Ming, they wouldn't even be talking about sharing spoils; they'd be lucky to be alive and would have to kowtow to their patriarch several times.

However, they were not without gains.

And just the resolution of the missing persons case would earn them a good amount of contribution points.

Not to mention rooting out a hidden operative of the Myriad Gods Sect... However, as soon as Lu Ming and the others returned to the Law Enforcement Team headquarters, they were stopped by a group of people.

The man leading them wore black clothes, and the badge on his chest read "Inspector."

His hair was meticulously combed, and a delicate pair of gold-rimmed glasses rested on his high nose bridge.

Upon seeing Lu Ming and the others, the man immediately began to make trouble.

"Where is Li Mo! Li Mo has awakened, why didn't you notify headquarters? Don't you know he is the spiritual role model for the entire team!"

Zhao Li frowned and said, "Inspector Zhang, Li Mo betrayed us and was executed. I will personally report to Captain Liu later."

"Betrayal?" Inspector Zhang seemed to have heard a huge joke, and his eyes behind his glasses suddenly narrowed. "Zhao Li! A comrade who has been in a coma for three years betrays us as soon as he wakes up? At least make your story more plausible!"

The Inspection Team members behind him immediately stepped forward, their hands on their weapons, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Lu Ming frowned. His senses were sharper than average, and when this person looked at Li Mo's corpse, his eyes held a hint of triumph.

According to criminal psychology, suspects often like to return to the scene to observe their masterpiece.

This guy has a problem!

Wang Yaowen had been observing Lu Ming's expression and, seeing him frown, quickly signaled him not to act impulsively.

"Team Leader Lu, this pretty boy confessed to Big Sister and was rejected, holding a grudge, and has been making trouble for our Fourth Squad."

"But there's no need to worry, we have evidence, so let him be arrogant for now."

Wang Yaowen had already thought out the next scene.

The Fourth Squad returns victoriously, only to be deliberately obstructed by their superior.

Then the Fourth Squad presents various pieces of evidence.

The missing persons case, full of twists and turns, is solved.

A first-realm Soul-Devouring Beast is slain.

A hidden operative of the Myriad Gods Sect is exposed.

Various face-slapping reversals, causing a sensation.

The annoying superior gritting his teeth, the onlookers filled with envy and jealousy.

Awesome! It's so damn awesome, even a wish-fulfillment novel wouldn't dare write this.

...

"Should I temporarily avoid hisEdge?"

Lu Ming's eyes slightly chilled. He stepped forward to shield Zhao Li and the other two, his voice as calm as water.

"Li Mo is dead. Are you deaf or blind? Can't you see for yourself?"

Saying that, he moved aside, revealing Li Mo's body covered with a white sheet.

Inspector Zhang's face suddenly became very ugly.

He paced in front of Lu Ming, his gaze sweeping over him as if appraising some prey.

"If Li Mo is really dead, none of you will keep your jobs!"

With that, he lifted the white sheet, and after seeing Li Mo's body, his eyes flickered.

Lu Ming suddenly laughed, his laughter carrying a bone-chilling coldness.

"According to Article 3 of the Law Enforcer Management Regulations, no one, except forensic personnel and the case handler, may touch a suspect's corpse."

"Li Mo was a hidden operative of the Myriad Gods Sect, with conclusive evidence! Inspector Zhang, I now strongly suspect you are his accomplice! Please come with me!"

"Presumptuous!" Inspector Zhang's pupils suddenly contracted.

But Lu Ming gave him no chance to react, an extremely powerful aura erupting from him.

Violent, destructive, seemingly intending to destroy all life.

Everyone only saw a flash of blood-red lightning before Inspector Zhang himself was firmly pinned under Lu Ming's foot.

In Inspector Zhang's eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses, disbelief was written all over.

He found that his body was being suppressed by a mysterious force, completely unable to move.

Silence!

The entire hall was deathly silent.

Are the new recruits this fierce now?

In just one encounter, Inspector Zhang, a third-realm cultivator, was taken down.

That was an Inspector who had intricate connections with the Night Watch Division.

How dare he?
