Chapter 705: Unleashed Fury

Book – Chapter 705: Goddamn Rampage (Update 3)

Xiao Yu was in a daze. Lin

He remained in that stupor for what felt like an eternity.

He had no idea how many times the system had reminded him about his host.

Until the look in Xiao Yu’s eyes turned ice-cold and numb, devoid of any emotion.

An uncontrollable aura of anger and murderous intent began radiating from his body.

Not far off, Wang Dong and the members of Team Two were taken aback…

In an instant.

Xiao Yu’s expression and demeanor returned to normal.

Even that terrifying murderous aura vanished without a trace.

He nearly lost control… Once calm, Xiao Yu thought, ‘Couldn’t you just grab that bastard and finish him off?’

In crime scene investigations, losing control only makes it harder to apprehend a criminal.

Xiao Yu knew this all too well.

Leaving a video behind made their intentions crystal clear.

Provocation and anger!

Just like those keyboard warriors.

Their aim in sparking conflict is to make you lose your composure.

The angrier you get, the more they thrive on it.

So, what should we do about these keyboard warriors?

Of course, ignore those worthless brats.

Maybe they’re orphans who don’t even have a dad.

Their lone ID card is all they have for a family portrait.

These guys even have to slather on some cheap lip gloss online—it isn’t easy…

Check-in!

【Ding Congratulations, Host! Case Check-In Successful!】

【System Reward: Ability – Battlefield Expert!】

【System Task Issued: Solve the Living Corpse Molding Case!】

【Time Limit for Solving: Thirty Days!】

【If the host completes the task within the time limit, an additional system skill will be awarded: Lizard Transformation!】

【Should the host fail within the time limit, all granted system abilities will be revoked!】

【Task Time Countdown Begins…】

Battlefield Expert… Xiao Yu scratched his head in disbelief.

For a moment,

Countless battle experiences, enemy-eradication tactics, and survival guidelines surged into his mind, imprinting themselves rapidly…

Holy shit… Xiao Yu was stunned.

This ability seemed pretty formidable.

If given to a professional soldier, it would be nothing short of amazing.

But for a policeman… What was the system thinking?

Anyway, he didn’t get it and dared not ask—as the system would simply ignore him.

Rolling his eyes, Xiao Yu glanced over at Wang Dong and the others.

“Let’s get to work!”

……

When Xiao Yu returned to the basement, all his negative emotions had vanished.

The cheerful young man had reemerged.

“Weren’t you supposed to have adjusted your mindset by now?”

Wang Dong, puzzled, looked at his ever-smiling little brother.

“What, does Brother Wang really want me to go into a rampage?” Xiao Yu asked with a half-smile.

Wang Dong: ……

His strong survival instinct kicked in, helping him regain his composure swiftly.

“Goddamn, I only wanted you to see me in a rampage—I’m not sick!”

The two now stood in a specific room in the basement,

the very room featured in the video of the ‘Living Corpse Molding’ case.

At that moment, the room contained no chairs, and the walls lacked any metal pipes.

Since it was in the basement, the room was sealed so tightly that even dust was scarce.

No trace of anything remained!

That’s why both Xiao Yu and Team Two’s members had scoured the area and found nothing.

Had it not been for that video, they wouldn’t have known this room even existed…

Slowly, he knelt and inspected the smooth cement floor.

He reached out and lightly tapped a few times, gradually increasing the force.

What was he doing?

He was using the sound and feel of the taps to gauge the thickness of the cement.

This is a skill many masons possess.

Some expert bricklayers can even estimate the age and condition of the cement by its color and texture.

“About a year old?”

Xiao Yu withdrew his hand, stood up, and told Wang Dong, “Get a drilling machine.”

After more than half an hour,

two team members returned with a drilling machine, powered it up, and began chipping away at the floor.

After roughly another hour,

a layer of ten-centimeter-thick cement had been removed from the entire room.

Once the cement dust was cleared and the floor was re-coated,

some traces began to emerge.

In the center of the room, four screws about five centimeters long were visible in the floor.

Xiao Yu recalled the video showing a chair bolted to the floor and let out a cold laugh.

Shifting his gaze, he looked toward a nearby floor drain.

·· ·······Requesting flowers··· ········

A forensic examiner entered and began inspecting inside the drain.

Soon enough, he discovered remnants of decomposed human fat and tissue residue in the pipes.

Simply put, there were traces of corpse oil and wax left behind!

“Find the room below!”

Xiao Yu ordered coldly.

The room below?

The answer soon became clear.

Team Two’s members discovered a sewage well in the drainage canal outside the villa, about ten meters away.

This sewage well led directly to an area beneath the villa… a basement below the basement!

A nesting doll situation?

Wearing an oxygen mask, Xiao Yu stood in that basement, examining some ‘tools’ inside.

From the ceiling, a pipe descended, connecting to a metal container.

……

Inside the container was a filter machine.

From the filter machine, another pipe extended to the surface, linking to a container trough.

The oxygen mask was necessary because the trough emitted a pungent stench and toxic gases.

Traces of decayed oily wax could also be seen within the trough.

Corpse oil and corpse wax!

Xiao Yu’s mind raced as a vivid picture formed before him.

In the upper basement, bodies were burned to produce corpse oil.

In the lower basement, the corpse oil was collected.

It was then filtered, purified, and allowed to settle and ferment in the trough to extract the purest essence…

Xiao Yu’s expression changed drastically.

It was as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

He couldn’t fathom what the enemy intended to do with all this corpse oil.

And where on earth could such a substance be useful?

Many had spread rumors that crematoriums left behind corpse oil after incinerating bodies.

Some criminals would use corpse oil for nefarious purposes.

But anyone with half a brain knew better.

Inside a corpse furnace, bodies are doused with gasoline and diesel before being incinerated.

That terrifying high temperature would instantly turn flesh and bone to ash, leaving no chance for any corpse oil to remain.

In the real world,

it’s nearly impossible for corpse oil to exist.

Even if you somehow got hold of it, what would you do with corpse oil?

Cook with it?

Xiao Yu was utterly puzzled.

Where exactly could one put a large quantity of corpse oil to use?

For the first time, Xiao Yu realized there was a gap in his knowledge.

He was stumped! Mouth agape.
