“Then Ping Er saw Miss Xiao cui exhausted by the river, and her first words were asking if the sedan had arrived.”
“I said no, and she directly called me a ‘slut,’ accusing me of watching without trying to save her.”
“How could Ping Er bear it? In anger, she covered Miss Xiao Cui’s face with her wet skirt and suffocated her to death. Miss Xiao Cui had little strength left at that time and her struggles were weak. It didn’t take long for her to die. Her jewelry fell out during the struggle. Ping Er recalled what she went through at Master Cao’s house that night and felt that she deserved it.”
“So Ping Er took the jewelry. It wasn’t greed, she took what was rightfully hers.”
“Afterward, Ping Er developed a high fever, hiding in a thatched hut unconscious for a day. She woke up the next day and found out the brothel had reported to the authorities. Not wanting the truth to come out, she claimed Miss Xiao Cui had jumped into the river in despair. Everyone was happy– the brothel was happy, the person in black was happy, I was also happy. Oh, only Miss Xiao Cui wasn’t happy. But she was dead, who cared if she was happy, she is just a dead person.”
After speaking, Ping Er lowered her forehead slightly, revealing a sinister smile. “Sir, don’t you think I’m more suitable for storytelling? It’s a pity I can’t write, otherwise, I could compete with you. Sir, you better hurry home, lock yourself in, and start writing. I’m looking forward to the birth of your works.”
Bai Lixin looked at Ping Er silently, then turned to the entrance of the alley.
At the narrow entrance, a solemn man walked out with his hands behind his back. Six men and women dressed in flying fish suita followed him. Among them, two were holding a disheveled young man in prisoner’s clothing.
*Flying fish suits or Feiyufu is a type of traditional Han Chinese clothing that is decorated with the patterns of flying fish and was usually worn by superior officers. (The pattern is a python shape with added fins and tail. It is not a true flying fish shape.). There’s a pic is included at the end of the chapter.The moment Ping Er saw them, her smile froze.
Bai Lixin approached them with an indifferent expression, tossed a casual “I leave the rest to you” and walked away without hesitation.
“Bai Lixin!” Suddenly, a furious roar came from behind. Bai Lixin stopped, and the imprisoned young man glared at him with a fierce expression. “You wait for me, I won’t let you go even if I become a ghost!”
“Haha,” the young man laughed heartily as if hearing a big joke. “Let me tell you a secret. I have a very good relationship with King Yama in the underworld. Good luck to you.”
With that, under the angry gaze of the imprisoned young man, Bai Lixin turned and left.

[Fuck, I thought the story was over, but there’s actually a twist.]
[Turns out this is the most deeply hidden murderer.]
[God Xin’s clearance from the first day to the last moment was flawless and so cool.]
[God Xin will be back in an hour. Congratulations, God Xin on the successful clearance! Sprinkle Flowers~]
—————————-
There was an endless stream of people coming and going.
However, this had nothing to do with Bai Lixin. He slowly passed through the crowd and reached the entrance of Qingcheng Town.
As he walked out, he saw a group of people in the distance rushing over, covered in dust.
The word “escort” on the carriage was very eye catching.
The carriage quickly approached, stopped beside Bai Lixin, and the door opened. A woman stuck her head out. “Oh, isn’t this Master Bai Lixin? What time is it? You’re not working in the yamen and just leisurely strolling here.”
Bai Lixin smiled, “Are you here to mock me, proprietress?”
The woman raised an eyebrow, “I don’t have that much free time, here’s this for you!”
As she spoke, she took something from her bosom and threw it to him.
He reached out and took a look. It was a deed, a deed to a gambling den.
“I offended people in the capital, so I came back to hide for a few days and wait for things to calm down before going out again.”
Bai Lixin returned the deed to the woman, “According to our previous agreement, you should give these deeds to Zhang Biao in the future.”
The woman was stunned, ”This is a deed! It’s worth a lot of money. Don’t you want it?”
“Why would I need a deed for a gambling den? Besides, I’m about to leave so there’s no need to keep it.”
“You’re leaving? Where are you going?” The woman looked surprised, “Isn’t it nice here?”
Bai Lixin: “It’s nice here, but it’s time for me to leave. I’ll keep an eye on you, don’t relax just because you think I’m gone.”
At this moment, the system’s voice rang out in Bai Lixin’s mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, player, the [Demon Suppression] copy task is successfully completed. You have gained a large amount of performance points and mall points in this copy, and rewards will be distributed when you return to the game lobby.]
[Friendly reminder: Due to the death of the copy master, the exploration degree of the copy has reached 100%. From today onwards, this copy will be completely sealed.]
[The game copy teleportation will begin now.]
[Teleportation location: Player’s personal quarters in the Horror Game Lobby.]
[Teleportation begins.]
As the system’s words fell, a vortex appeared above Bai Lixin’s head.
The proprietress stared blankly as the young man, who was talking to her just now, suddenly flew into the air, and disappeared like an immortal.
None of the elders in Qingcheng Sect had such abilities.
“I-Immortal?!”
One of the escorts suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowing heavily towards the direction where Bai Lixin disappeared. “May the Immortal bless our escort, and may the road be safe!”
“Madam, you have to work hard in the future.” A guard said, “This is an Immortal. The Immortal said he would keep an eye on you. Don’t mess around in the future.”
The proprietress was now in a state of confusion, shocked beyond measure.
An immortal!
It’s an Immortal!
No wonder he could easily smash her place, no wonder he could shatter such a table.
Because he was an immortal, ah, an immortal can do anything, how can such trivial matters compare?
The immortal actually took the initiative to find her; he must have thought she still had salvation, so he came down to enlighten her!
‘Immortal, you can rest assured, I will definitely follow your teachings, eliminate four hundred…no, four thousand gambling dens, and achieve a world without gambling!’

[What do you guys think, was God Xin’s move spontaneous or premeditated?]
[I don’t know, but I think he’s awesome. When I reach the last three hours, I am either running for my life or surviving. In God Xin’s last three hours, he solved a case and shocked a proprietress. Isn’t he too awesome?]
[So he’s God Xin, and we’re not. Wuuu, he’s really powerful.]
[The live broadcast will end in a few seconds, friends, see you in the next live broadcast!]
[Goodbye!]
—————————–
[Ding! Congratulations to the player for successfully returning to the game lobby.]
[Congratulations to the player for obtaining 500,000 performance points and 500,000 mall points.]
[Congratulations to the player. Your current floor has been raised from the 520th floor to the 570th floor, and you’re just one step away from the 600th floor! Your speed of advancement is so fast that it even blinds the system’s titanium alloy dog eyes. Pleas keep it up!]
As soon as Bai Lixin landed, he heard the system’s usual rainbow farts.
570th floor, good. He could soon enter the 600th floor. After entering the 600th floor, would the 900th floor be far behind?
He rubbed his somewhat messy hair and stood up from the bed. He was about to take out his change of clothes to freshen up when he received a system prompt for a private message.
As soon as he opened it, he was bombarded with private messages from Xia Chi.
Xia Chi: [Brother! You are my god, my idol, the Venus in my heart!]
Xia Chi: [Ah ah ah, brother, you’re too damn awesome!]
Xia Chi: [If you go to the police station, it would definitely be a world without thieves, brother. I love you even more now! Woohoo, brother, you’re really amazing. How did you become so good at everything? I didn’t expect you to solve cases too. You’re not human!]
Bai Lixin: ?
‘Why are you suddenly cursing me?’
Xia Chi: [You’re a god! You must be a god. A person as perfect as you, what else could you be if you weren’t a god?!!!]
Bai Lixin: “…”
‘Hey, don’t say it. You kid, you accidentally hit the mark. I really am a god.’
Xia Chi: [Wasn’t my dream to become a police officer? The role model I’ve been searching for was actually right beside me. It’s you, brother!]
Bai Lixin: [Ahem, stay calm.]
Xia Chi: [Ahhh, my idol, you actually replied to me! I’m so excited!]
Bai Lixin: “…”
Why does Xia Chi’s text come with a voice effect?
Bai Lixin: [Where are you?]
Xia Chi: [I’m fine. We’ve been watching the live broadcast, and now everyone is in the guild.]
Bai Lixin: [Everyone?]
Xia Chi: [Yeah, are you coming?]
Bai Lixin: [I smell a bit, I want to freshen up first.]
Xia Chi: [Oh! It’s the scent of love, right? I understand. We’ll wait for you. But you must come, I haven’t seen you in ten days, and I miss you so much .]
Bai Lixin: ???
‘What the hell is the scent of love?’
Quickly taking a shower, he washed off the dirt and dried sticky residue on his body, ensuring only the fresh scent of grass remained on him before leaving the bathroom.
After drying his hair and changing into a clean, refreshing white sweatshirt, he arrived at the Core Fire Guild.
To his surprise, as soon as he entered, he found both Hongyue and Song Yuantian there.
Before anyone else could speak, Hongyue, upon seeing Bai Lixin, spoke directly, “Bai Lixin, quick, let Little Red out for me to see.”
Bai Lixin: “Little Red?”
Hongyue: “The Red Tassel Spear, my disciple, that carp, no, now it should be a dragon.”
Her eyes sparkled, “I never expected that in my life, not only have I been the mother of zombies, but I’ve also been the master of a dragon. I’m really awesome. I can brag about this for a lifetime.”
Song Yuantian quietly pinched Hongyue’s arm.
‘You are not allowed to mention the matter of being the mother of zombies!’
Bai Lixin smiled and took out the Red Tassel Spear from his backpack, placing it on the table.
A faint red light emanated from the Red Tassel Spear, and as soon as the previously quiet spear saw Hongyue, its tip trembled instantly. The Red Tassel Spear also emitted a sound of a dragon roar.
“Little Red,” Hongyue pointed at herself, “I am your master, Hongyue. Do you still remember me?”
The Red Tassel Spear instantly straightened its body. The originally rigid rod suddenly bent, as if nodding like a person.
Hongyue hugged Song Yuantian excitedly and gave him a smacking kiss. “She still recognizes me! She still recognizes me!”
The Red Tassel Spear turned its head to look at Bai Lixin.
So, it wasn’t a lie when he said he knew her master, he really knew her.
What kind of place is this? Could this be the immortal realm?
The master is an immortal, and now the current owner is also an immortal?
From being a divine dragon to becoming a divine weapon?
The Red Tassel Spear tried to transform back into its dragon form, but after two attempts, it failed. It lowered its head in frustration.
“I speculate that if it enters a supernatural type of copy, it should be able to transform back into a dragon,” a calm voice spoke, and everyone looked at Zhou Guang, who pushed up his glasses. “Our game lobby here is built based on a realistic background. For example, the pets we can exchange can only be those that exist in reality, and mythical creatures that don’t exist in reality cannot be exchanged.”
“It’s the same for it.” Zhou Guang nodded towards the Red Tassel Spear. “The Red Tassel Spear exists in reality, so it can appear here. But creatures like dragons, don’t exist here, so it cannot transform into one.”
“But as long as it enters a copy that accepts the setting of dragons, it should be able to transform back.”
The previously drooping Red Tassel Spear immediately perked up.
Although it didn’t understand many words from this strangely dressed man, like what a copy was or what a game lobby was, there was one sentence it understood! That it could transform back, and that made it happy!
“Brother,” Xia Chi appeared beside Bai Lixin at some point.
Bai Lixin looked at this starry-eyed boy in front of him, and subconsciously wanted to step back.
Xia Chi was quick and nimble, he suddenly exerted force with both hands and grabbed Bai Lixin’s hand, “Brother! From today, you’re not my brother anymore.”
Bai Lixin: “Ah?”
Xia Chi: “You’re my god!”
Bai Lixin: “…”
‘Tan Yue, your child is like this, don’t you care?’
A flash of inspiration: “…”
‘I’m used to it, isn’t this normal?’
Xia Chi: “Brother, tell me, how did you coincidentally encounter the proprietress at the end? Was it fate or planned?”
Bai Lixin: “Both. Remember that I had the escort bureau protect the proprietress before. Escorting is one, monitoring is two. The escorts regularly sent me updates on what the she was doing. When I received a letter that they were preparing to return, I calculated the days and figured they would arrive just about when I left the copy.”
“The proprietress is a veteran in the ways of the world, I was worried that Zhang Biao alone couldn’t deter her, so I decided to play this hand in front of her. Originally, I was worried they wouldn’t make it back in time, but it turned out to be just right.”
“I can only say, everything worked out for the best.”
