Chapter 135: Dangerous Heretics Treatment Authority

"That's why you cops brought me, a good, law-abiding citizen, here in these shackles at nine o'clock at night?" Bai Liu held up the heavy silver shackle in his hand and lightly digressed, "This surveillance video isn't conclusive evidence at all."

"Sir, isn't it a bit too arbitrary to arrest people like this?"

Su Yang coughed a little awkwardly.

It was true, the video was only intended to be used to scam Bai Liu, and was not at all core evidence that could be used to arrest him.

"I'm just a laid-off worker living in a cheap rental." Bai Liu said lightly, "If I can get my hands on that cure-all stuff you're talking about, what wouldn't I do to feed it to these kids for free, you've done your research on me and you know I'm short of money, right?"

It's true that Bai Liu's financial situation is not good, and if he had gotten his hands on the blood ganoderma, it would not have made sense for him to just feed it to a child and not leave his name on it - after all, if you think about it, you know how much money you can make from it, and few people can resist the temptation, not to mention the fact that Bai Liu has been laid off for almost a month now. Not to mention the fact that Bai Liu has been laid off for almost a month.

"An ordinary laid-off worker? Why would Miao, who killed her son and committed suicide not long ago, shout your name in terror before slitting her throat?" Su Yang quickly regained his composure, and then pressed the remote control.

A new small video appears on the screen.

On the screen is Miao Gaojiang's tired, manic, insane face, his eyes sunken and cheekbones high, a knife to his throat, a mess of blood at his feet, and the dead body of Miao Feichi lying unconscious not far away.

Someone said, " Miao Gaojiang! Calm down first! Put the knife down!"

"Suicide won't solve anything! Get a grip on yourself, and if you have a problem you can't solve, talk to us police!"

Miao Gaojiang shook his head in horror, his arms and legs spasming with mental value as he growled hoarsely and sharply, "I'm dead! I've been killed by Bai Liu!

"This is not a suicide, this is a murder!" Miao Gaojiang seemed to resist the knife in his hand, his forehead tightened as if Zi ah kept moving away from the knife in his hand, but his hand, as if it had self-conscious control, dug hard into the large vein in his neck as he broke down and screamed, "This is a homicide!!!"

" Bai Liu! Bai Liu! Bai Liu and the statue are my murderers!

The blood from the arteries shot straight out and sprayed on the ceiling as Miao Gaojiang collapsed in a pool of blood with his eyes open, holding the knife stuck in his neck.

As the video freezes on the image of Miao Gaojiang on the ground, Su Yang turns to Bai Liu: "Do you have anything to say?"

"There's nothing I want to say." Bai Liu's face didn't change and there was a bit of forced confusion in his eyes, "Comrade police, I don't know this man at all, is this the man that was on the news? Isn't he the one who committed suicide, and you filmed the whole process of his suicide, what does it have to do with me?"

"He shouted your name before he died." Su Yang looked straight at Bai Liu and stressed, "He said it was a homicide and that you killed him, which is most likely the death message this comrade Miao left us."

"So Comrade Miao's death has turned into a homicide?" Bai Liu looked at Su Yang with a smile on his face, "Captain Su, you are pushing me like this, I am mentally weak, if I can't bear the pressure you put on me and kill myself, I can also scream your name when I kill myself, then by the same token, Captain Su, you are also the murderer who killed me, right? "

Su Yang exhaled slowly, not answering Bai Liu's words, for if he had he would have gone along with the rhythm of the man's conversation.

Bai Liu, a man who is more oily and comfortable with such platitudes than he thinks, really seems like an ordinary person on his CV.

"I certainly didn't mean that, it's just that you do look suspicious, Comrade Bai Liu." Su Yang brought the conversation back around.

"You cops are all about evidence, right?" Bai Liu gave Su Yang a nonchalant look, "Besides the fact that I look suspicious, is there any evidence that I was instructed to kill this Miao?"

Bai Liu rereads the word 'look'.

Su Yang falls silent again.

The fact that Bai Liu and Miao Gaojiang had never met or had any overlap in their lives makes the fact that Miao Gaojiang went crazy and called Bai Liu's name before he died all the more bizarre, and that is why the case was moved to the Dangerous Heresy Bureau.

But apart from Miao Gaojiang's unintelligible voice, there is indeed no evidence in this case.

Bai Liu calmly inquired, "So indeed there is no evidence, Captain Su, then I don't quite understand how you can use such strong-arm tactics to bring me in for questioning when there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever? It doesn't fit my common sense of legal science."

Su Yang locked eyes with Bai Liu's tired, seemingly sleepless eyes for a moment before he finally sighed helplessly, as if he had a conscience, and Su Yang took a new vial from his breast pocket and placed it on the table in front of Bai Liu.

This little bottle rolled and billowed with a pink gas, like a universe of broken and fallen stars, which looked very pretty as it glittered around the little bottle.

Bai Liu's eyes twitched slightly - it was similar to the pink smoke he had seen Tavel shatter into in his dream.

"It's a gas perfume that's been selling like hotcakes on the internet lately, called Dry Leaf Rose Gas." Su Yang gazed soberly at the small pink, girlish and dreamy bottle, "It contains an invigorating substance that is said to keep you working in a high-functioning state all day if you spray it on, so this perfume is used by many companies as an air freshener in their companies, hence the aliases, [Gas Coffee ] and [Love Work]."

"But recently we have found that companies using this perfume on a large scale have experienced some symptoms of staff going crazy after discontinuing or replacing the perfume." Su Yang is quiet for a moment and adds, "But strangely enough, this perfume could not detect any harmful ingredients with all the known instruments that were used to test it, and was fully compliant with the standards of perfume manufacture and distribution. we found out that something was wrong and took over the case, transferring this part of the employees for treatment and research. "

"...... Under repeated testing, these employees were found to have symptoms very close to withdrawal symptoms."

Bai Liu's eyes fell on the small bottle and he understood what Su Yang meant.

"We defined the perfume as a new type of gas opium and were going to give these employees forced withdrawal." Su Yang takes a deep breath, "but in the process of withdrawal, something happened."

Su Yang holds the remote control a few times and brings up a video.

The video is of a middle-aged man with bulging eyeballs howling incessantly in attack, his face all that pink as in the vial of gas, his forehead bruised, pounding himself and the wall, as someone comes in and ties him to a chair, which he soon tears free again.

Soon amidst the man's wretched screams, a strange change took place, a rose to wither appeared very clearly in the man's pupils, then the flesh and blood on his body began to dry and blacken, peeling away from him like wilted rose petals, piece by piece, eventually leaving only an incredibly clean pile of white skeletons sitting on a chair before falling apart.

A cacophonous background sound comes over the video.

"......CEDT-0756 Contaminated subject attempted withdrawal 6 days 17 hours 56 minutes, failed ......"

End of video.

Su Yang didn't look at the screen, and his voice was a little dry when he spoke again, "...... We used a lot of methods and then found out that there was no other way to keep these employees alive than to keep them on this perfume called Rose Dry Leaf Gas... ..."

"No, they will wither."

Su Yang said there was a moment of silence here.

"But the chain of production and distribution of this stuff must not exist, but by the time we found out, it was too late ......" Su Yang let out a bitter laugh as he picked up the rose-colored bottle, "Do you know how much this thing sells how much in a month on the internet? Over a hundred thousand, it doubles every month, so many people are using this stuff, if it's suspended ......"

"So what?" Bai Liu asked back, unmoved, " Captain Su, this thing you're talking about has even less to do with me, right? I can't solve it even if you arrest me."

Su Yang looked straight at Bai Liu: "No, you have a solution."

He propped himself up on the table and leaned forward to look Bai Liu straight in the eye, "Our captain says that you are a monster who can fix all the evil things in this world, and that by capturing you, these crazy things will stop pouring into our world."

At these words, Bai Liu raises the end of his eyebrow in slight surprise.

--------

A tall, drunken man in uniform was helped to the small room where Bai Liu was being held by some of the team members, who looked at the collapsed, drunken man and fanned his nose: " How much has Team Tang had to drink?

"I don't know, been down in front of the base for who knows how long, or was found by a member of the patrol." The team member holding the man gave a bitter laugh, " Where's Team Su? Still working on that newly captured humanoid heretic? Eh, now that I see Team Tang like this, I don't know if he's directing us to capture a normal person or a real heretic ......"

"This is still to believe Team Tang's, after all, he has the special ability to see the future, that's why he has such a high emergency authority, and he's been right in mobilizing us to catch it in an emergency before, this time it should be ...... too, right?"

A few of the team members' eyes fell on Captain Tang, who was covered by unkempt hair for who knows how long, and the drunken Captain Tang smashed his mouth and picked at his thighs.

The tone of the team hesitated a bit again, "While it's true that ...... Team Tang has been drinking a bit uncharacteristically lately, didn't Team Tang say that the more he drank and the more he went into that state of being drunk to the point of losing his mind, the more heresies he could see coming in the future? "

"And you believe that? It's just an excuse he makes for his drinking." Su Yang pushed the door open and walked up from the small room, he casually answered the team member's words, " Tang Erda was able to foresee precisely when and where the evil things would appear even when she didn't drink a drop of alcohol, but now that she's drunk, her ability is getting worse and worse, she's failed in several operations lately, probably because she drank the alcohol into her head. "

The veins on Su Yang's forehead twitched slightly as he looked at Tang Erda, who was lying motionless on the floor and snoring slightly: "Go to CEDT-0076, the Room of Eternal Ice, and get some ice water to wake him up."

The man's hair was a little unkempt, curly and drooping on either side of his ears, his chin covered in stubble that hadn't been trimmed in who knows how long, and he wiped the icy water off his jaw with his thumb as he staggered to his feet with one foot lazily and slowly curled up.

The man's uniform was worn crookedly, the collar buttons were not even a few straight, and the badge on his right breast was shrugged up to his jaw, which read: [Captain of the Third Detachment of the Department of Dangerous Heresy Handling - Tang Erda].

"Whew - hiccup!" The man let out a long burp with the scent of strong alcohol and smoothed the drenched hair that covered his eyes to the back of his head, revealing a pair of extremely harsh and narrow, wolf-like dark blue eyes.

Tang Erda's eyes were not the least bit hazy with the smell of alcohol, but only for a moment, and soon he was propped up against the wall in a daze and shaking his head: "Why do these bar walls look so much like the base walls ...... "

Su Yang slowly and helplessly held his forehead, "In three minutes, wake him up and send him into the small room and leave him to deal with the humanoid heretic he must have captured, Bai Liu."

Three minutes later, Bai Liu raised an eyebrow at the soaked man sitting in front of his door, his gaze shifted down to the badge of the man opposite him, "Are you the Captain Tang that Su Yang said must have arrested me?"

"I don't know why you must think grabbing me can solve these ...... quirky little problems you guys are facing." Bai Liu's eyes swept over the small rose-coloured bottle on the table and lifted again to look across at Tang Erda, "I'm just an ordinary citizen who's been laid off."

"Tsk, ordinary citizen? Heh." Tang Erda pulled a packet of cigarettes wrapped in a plastic pocket from his own pocket, which he lit without haste, taking a deep puff and exhaling slowly, the scarlet dots jumping on his index finger and reflecting in Tang Erda's wolf-like eyes.

His eyes did not move as he gazed at Bai Liu for a moment, and then suddenly the corners of his mouth curled up into a very hostile smile: " Bai six, what are you pretending with me?"

"Do you know how many times I've had to put you in this place?" Tang Erda braced herself and stood up, pushing her cigarette out on Bai Liu's handcuffs, exhaling a mocking puff of smoke into Bai Liu's face, reaching out to fear Bai Liu's face, "Dozens of times, it's been a thousand years since the fox, what are you playing chatty with me for?"

Bai Liu leaned back slightly to avoid Tang Erda's approach: "But this is the first time we've met, isn't this Captain Tang, are you mistaken?"

Tang Erda fell back into his chair again, his drunken eyes narrowed as he surveyed Bai Liu and suddenly snorted with utmost disdain, "First time meeting? This is not your first meeting with me, I've met you many times."

"Devotee of the legendary evil gods, faithful lackey of Tavel, most hated and most wanted of all the dangerous heresy dealing bureaus around the world, interface of evil things, gambler who uses evil things to mercilessly swallow gold, let me think of another title for you, the reigning villain- "

"Oh yes-" Tang Erda slowly rolled her neck a little stiffly before finally fixing her gaze on Bai Liu's face, "the captain of the famous game warriors, the Wandering Circus, Bai six The White King."

"I don't remember meeting you, this Captain Tang, and I'm Buming to understand what you're talking about." Bai Liu lied without changing his face.

Tang Erda stood up and held Bai Liu's shoulders down, and like a wolf suddenly attacking with his fangs bared, he nuzzled Bai Liu's neck with his open maw and slowly hooked the chain from Bai Liu's collarbone with his index finger, from which hung a reverse cross and a piece of greyish white fish scale.

Bai Liu doesn't hide them, it would be strange to talk with so many things in his mouth, and apart from the coins, all these things hanging around his neck look like ordinary pendants and are also props, losing them wouldn't prevent them from entering the game.

But not the coins, you can't get into the game if you lose that thing.

"You're wearing the reverse cross of the evil god around your neck, what do you mean you don't know the only follower of the evil god?" Tang Erda hefted the cross in her hand and lifted Bai Liu's head with a smirk, "You're not afraid of upsetting the evil god, Bai six, I'm warning you again, you better hide your tail before you talk to me, let me guess where you've hidden your game manager?"

With a sharp jerk of his hand, he dislodged Bai Liu's jaw with a sharp soreness that made him squint, and Tang Erda put the plastic bag he had used for his cigarettes over his hand with a little disgust.

"No?" Tang Erda's brow furrowed, and for the first time, the strange captain, who had until now shown a degree of knowing Bai Liu like the back of his hand, looked unexpectedly surprised by Bai Liu.

"The rest of your timeline was hidden under your tongue after I caught it, how come it wasn't there?" Tang Erda tsked as he took his hand out of Bai Liu's mouth, shaking it off with that very disgusted look on his face, "You wouldn't have swallowed it, would you? You don't do things like that in other timelines that don't fit your villainous behavioural aesthetic."

Tang Erda tossed the plastic pocket aside and deliberately put Bai Liu's jaw back with great force - a crisp crunch that hurt to hear.

But Bai Liu didn't look as weak as Tang Erda would have liked because of the pain, Bai Liu just moved his jaw to adapt before calmly looking up and asking Tang Erda: "Other timelines? Your personal skill is time travel? You've captured me in other timelines many times?"

"My personal skill is not time travel, time travel this here a high danger level internment ability, or in other words, a godly prop ability in the game." Tang Erda slouched back in his chair again with his arms and legs spread wide, he crossed his feet up on the table and rested his head on the back of the chair, his head tilted sideways without looking at Bai Liu, "I won a league once in one of the timelines and got a wish, then the game rewarded me with this prop based on my wish."

Tang Erda chews on her unlit cigarette through cut teeth, her gaze slightly drunk: "This prop allows me to jump through different parallel timelines at any time, and whenever I feel dissatisfied or regretful about something, I reverse time to change it."

"I thought I was reversing time, but I soon found out that no, I was in a different timeline in parallel time, I wasn't back in the timeline I was in." Tang Erda drops her eyelids and chews on her cigarette.

There was a slight silence as he said this, but very Tang Erda returned to that cynical expression as he beat a curve and turned his head back to look at Bai Liu, "And it's funny Bai six, you're bound to be the greatest mortal enemy of our Heresy Handling Bureau in all the timelines I've been through."

"For in all timelines of eternal continuity, you are destined to become the sole devotee of the evil god Tavel." Tang Erda pulled a gun from her waist, her eyes as hazy and pushy as if she hadn't yet sobered up, but the gesture of raising it was steady.

He leveled the gun at Bai Liu's right eye: "And then you, a demon who will do anything for money, used your belief in an evil god to turn the world into a hell full of evil things in almost every timeline I've ever experienced."

"You use your status as a follower of an evil god to create all sorts of evil things that can be used to enrich yourself, you auction off mirrors that reflect the fears of the human heart at exorbitant prices, allowing shameless people to steal them and then circulate them in the market at high prices over and over again, you put Siren's fish bones on display in the most exclusive museums with tickets to make the viewers go mad and crazy over the beautiful rotting mermaids, you sell the most expensive life-saving remedy for the rich, the Blood Reishi, and smile as you collect payment from these sideburn dogs who have survived by sucking the blood of children."

"And this dried rose leaf gas that makes everyone fade in a frenzy." Tang Erda glanced down at the perfume in the tiny glass bottle on the table, "After you let it flood, you kept raising its price, leaving the poor who couldn't afford it desperate to wither in the dissipating scent of the rose on the roadside where no one visited, while the rich who could afford it saw it blooming with joy in the gilded halls. "

Tang Erda, with the safety on his thumb and his index finger on the trigger, stared straight into Bai Liu's eyes with a piercing sharpness in them, "You're just like the game, a madman who buys human souls and pours evil into the world for his own benefit."

"And it is my destiny to kill you."

Bang!
