Chapter 135: Dangerous Heterodoxy Bureau

"Is that why you investigators put me, a good citizen who has always obeyed the law, in these shackles at nine o'clock at night?" Bai Liu held up the heavy silver shackle in his hand and waved it around, lightly digressing, "This surveillance video isn't really conclusive evidence at all."

"Sir, isn't it too arbitrary to arrest someone like this?"

Su Yang coughs a little awkwardly.

It's true, this video is only used to scam Bai Liu, it's not a core evidence that can be used to arrest someone.

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

Bai Liu's financial situation is not so good, if he got that blood ganoderma lucidum, there is no reason to feed it to children and do good deeds without leaving a name - after all, normal people think a little bit, and know how much money can be made with this thing, few people can resist this temptation, not to mention Bai Liu has been laid off for almost a month! Not to mention that Bai Liu has been laid off for almost a month now.

"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 he proceeded to press the remote control.

A new little video appeared on the screen.

On the screen is Miao Gaojiang's tired, frenzied, insane face, his eyes sunken in, his cheekbones high, a knife to his throat, a messy bloodstain at his feet, and not far from him lies the dead and dying body of Miao Feichi.

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

"Suicide won't solve anything! Get a hold of yourself, and if there's anything you can't solve, you can talk to our investigators!"

Miao Gaojiang shook his head in horror, his arms and legs spasming with mental value, and growled hoarsely and shrilly, "I'm dead! I was killed by Bai Liu!"

"This is not suicide, this is murder!" Miao Gaojiang seems to be very resistant to the knife in his hand, his forehead is tense, it seems that Zi ah constantly away from the knife in his hand, but his hand seems to have self-conscious control, ruthlessly into the large blood vessels in his neck, he collapsed screaming, "This is a homicide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Bai Liu! Bai Liu! Bai Liu and that statue, are my murderers!!!"

Blood from the arteries shot out and sprayed on the ceiling, and Miao Gaojiang fell in a pool of blood with her eyes open, holding the knife stuck in her neck.

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

"I have nothing to say." Bai Liu The face didn't change, and there was a bit of forced confusion in his eyes, "Comrade investigator, I don't know this man at all, is this the man that was on the news? Didn't he commit suicide, you guys even filmed the whole process of his suicide, what does it have to do with me?"

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

"So this Comrade Miao's death became a homicide?" Bai Liu looked at Su Yang with a smile but not a laugh, "Captain Su, you're forcing me like this, I'm psychologically fragile, if I can't withstand the pressure you're exerting on me and commit suicide, I can also yell out your name while committing suicide, so by the same token, Captain Su, you're the murderer who killed me too, right?"

Su Yang let out a slow breath and didn't answer Bai Liu's words; if he did, he would have gone along with the rhythm of the man's conversation.

Bai Liu The man was more oily and attuned to this kind of platitude than he'd expected, but really just seemed like a regular guy on his resume.

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

"You investigators are all about evidence, aren't you?" Bai Liu glanced at Su Yang nonchalantly, "Other than the fact that I look suspicious, is there any evidence that instructed me to kill this Miao?"

Bai Liu reread the word "see".

Su Yang fell silent again.

Bai Liu and Miao Gaojiang did not have any social relationship, they never met each other, and there was no overlap in their life experiences, they are two completely unrelated people, which makes the fact that Miao Gaojiang went crazy and shouted out Bai Liu's name before he died even more bizarre, and because of this, the case was moved to the Dangerous Heretics Bureau.

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

Bai Liu calmly inquired, "So there is indeed no evidence, Captain Su, then I don't quite understand, in the complete absence of any evidence, why can you use such strong-arm tactics to arrest me here for interrogation? This is not in line with my common sense of legal studies."

Su Yang and Bai Liu's tired, as if still awake eyes locked for a while, he finally seemed to conscience, helplessly sighed, Su Yang took out a new vial from his breast pocket, placed it on the table in front of Bai Liu.

This little bottle rolled and floated around a pink gas that looked like a universe of broken down stars that had pooled together and looked very pretty as it glittered around the little bottle.

Bai Liu's eyes twitched slightly-it was much like the pink smoke he'd seen Taville shatter into in his dream.

"This is a gas perfume that has been selling very hot on the internet recently, called Dry Leaf Rose Wa Si." Su Yang looked at the pink, girly and dreamy little bottle with a sullen gaze, "There's a kind of invigorating substance in it, and it's said that if you just spray it on your body It is said that if you spray it on your body, you will be able to keep working in a high-functioning state for the whole day, so this perfume is used by many companies as an air freshener in the company, so it also has an alias called [Gas Coffee] and [Love Work]."

"But recently we have found that companies that use this perfume on a large scale are experiencing certain symptoms of madness among their employees after discontinuing or replacing this perfume." Su Yang was quiet for a while, then added, "But strangely enough, this perfume could not detect any harmful ingredients with all known instruments to test it, it was fully compliant with the standards of perfume manufacturing and sales, we realized something was wrong, so we took over the case, and transferred this part of the employees here for treatment and research. "

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

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

"We defined the perfume as a new type of gaseous opium and were going to forcefully wean these employees off of it." Su Yang takes a deep breath, "But during the withdrawal, something happened."

Su Yang held the remote control and switched it around a couple times, bringing up a video out.

The video was of a middle-aged man with bulging eyeballs howling non-stop at the attack, his face all that same pink color as in the vial of gas, veins popping out of his forehead, pounding himself and the walls, as someone came in and tied him to a chair, which was quickly torn and broken off again.

Soon in the midst of the man's mournful screams, a strange change took place, a rose that was about to fade appeared quite clearly in the man's pupils, and then the flesh and blood on his body began to dry up and blacken, peeling away from him piece by piece like the petals of a wilted rose, and ultimately all that was left was a pile of unbelievably clean, white skeleton sitting on a chair and falling apart.

A noisy background noise came 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 realized that there was no other way to keep these employees alive other than to continue to let them use this perfume called Rose Dried Leaf Wa Si... ..."

"No, they wither away."

Su Yang said it was quiet here for a moment.

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

"So?" Bai Liu asked back unfazed, "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 braced himself on the table and stood up, leaning forward to look Bai Liu straight in the eye, "Our captain says that you are a monster that can take care of all the evil things in this world, and that by capturing you, all this madness will stop pouring into our world."

Hearing this, Bai Liu raised the end of his eyebrows in slight surprise.

--------

A tall, drunken uniformed man was assisted by several team members to the front of the small room where Bai Liu was held, the team members looked at the drunken puddle of crumbling human ground fanned their noses: "How much did the Tang team drink ah!!!"

"I don't know, collapsed at the entrance of the base for I don't know how long, or was discovered 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, I'm looking at Team Tang like this now, and I don't know whether the one he commanded us to capture is an ordinary person or a real heretic ......"

"This is still to believe in team Tang, after all, he has a special ability to foresee the future, that's why he has such a high emergency authority, and his previous emergency mobilization of us to catch are right, this time should also be ...... right?"

A few of the team members' gazes fell on Captain Tang, who was covered by hair that hadn't been tended to in an unknown amount of time, and this drunken Captain Tang smashed his mouth and picked at his thighs.

The team's tone was a bit hesitant again, "Although ...... Team Tang has indeed 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 so drunk that he lost his sanity, the more heresies he could see that would appear in the future?"

"And you believe that? It's just an excuse for him to drink." Su Yang pushed open the door and walked up from the small room, he casually picked up the team member's words, "When Tang Er played before without a drop of alcohol, he was also able to accurately foresee the time and place where those evil things would appear, but now that he's drinking, his ability is getting worse and worse, and the last few times his actions have come up empty, so he probably drank the alcohol into his brain. "

Looking at Tang Er hit, who was lying motionless on the ground and still snoring slightly, the veins on Su Yang s forehead twitched slightly twice: "Go CEDT-0076 to the Room of Eternal Ice to fetch some ice water to splash him to wake him up."

Ice water splashed down and the man lying flat on his back choked and sat up, the man's hair was a bit scruffy, curly and drooping on either side of his ears, his chin was covered in stubble that hadn't been trimmed in I don't know how long, and he wiped the icy water off his own jaw with his thumb while he staggered to his feet with one foot lazily and slowly curled up.

The man's uniform was worn crookedly, not many of the buttons on his collar were buttoned properly, and the badge on his right chest was shrugged up to the level of his jaw, which read: [Captain of the Third Detachment of the Department of Dangerous Heresy Handling - Tang Er 打].

"Whew... hiccup!" The man let out a long burp that smelled of spirits, and smoothed a handful of drenched hair that covered his eyes to the back of his head, revealing a pair of extremely harsh and narrow, dark blue eyes that looked like wolves.

Obviously shrouded in the smell of alcohol, but Tang Er hit this pair of eyes but not a bit of hazy pus alcohol, but this is only this moment, soon he was confused and propped up against the wall and shook his head, "How is it that this bar wall is so much like the base's wall ...... "

Su Yang slowly and helplessly held his forehead, "In three minutes, wake him up and send him to his cubicle 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 shifting down to the badge of the man across from him, "You're the same Captain Tang that Su Yang said had to arrest me?"

"I don't know why you must feel that grasping I can solve these ...... odd little problems you all face." Bai Liu's eyes swept over the rose-colored vial on the tabletop, then lifted to look across the room at Tang Er Fight, "I'm nothing more than an ordinary citizen who's been laid off."

"Tsk, ordinary citizens? Huh." Tang Er hit pulled out a pack of cigarettes wrapped in a plastic pocket from his own pocket, he lit it up without haste, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, the scarlet dots of smoke jumped on his forefinger, reflecting in Tang Er's wolf-like eyes.

His eyes didn't move as he gazed at Bai Liu for a while, and suddenly hooked up the corners of his mouth to evoke a very hostile smile, "Bai Liu, what are you pretending with me?"

"Do you know how many times I've gotten you into this place?" Tang Er fights to stand up, presses the cigarette out on Bai Liu's handcuffs, spits out a mouthful of smoke mockingly at Bai Liu's face, and reaches out to fear Bai Liu's face, "Dozens of times, it's been a thousand years of foxes, what kind of chit-chat are you playing with me?"

Bai Liu leaned back slightly to avoid Tang Er's striking proximity, "But this is the first time we've met, isn't it, and this Captain Tang, aren't you recognizing the wrong person?"

Tang Er hit fell back again, sitting on the chair with a big horse, his eyes with drunkenness narrowed to survey Bai Liu, suddenly snorted with extreme disdain: "First meeting? This is not your first meeting with me, I've met you many times."

"Devotee of the legendary Evil God, Taville's faithful lackey, the most hated and wanted criminal of all the dangerous heresy treatment bureaus around the globe, interface to the Evil Thing, gambler who uses the Evil Thing to swallow gold mercilessly, let's see what other titles you have for this reigning villain- "

"Oh yes-" Tang Er hit a slow turn of his somewhat stiff neck, finally settling his gaze on Bai Liu's face, "the captain of the famous gaming warband, the Wandering Circus, Bai Liu, the King Bai."

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

Tang Er hit and stood up to hold down Bai Liu's shoulder, like a wolf suddenly attacking with fangs bared, he ferociously embedded Bai Liu's neck with his open tiger's mouth, and with his index finger slowly hooked the chain from Bai Liu's clavicle, from which hung a reverse cross and a piece of grayish-white fish scale.

Bai Liu didn't hide them, it would be weird for him to talk with that many things in his mouth, and aside from the coins, all of these things hanging around his neck look like normal charms and props, and losing them wouldn't prevent them from getting into the game.

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

"You are wearing this evil god's reverse cross around your neck, what do you mean you don't know the evil god's only believer?" Tang Er hit weighed the cross in his hand and lifted Bai Liu's head with a smirk, "You're not afraid of upsetting that Evil God, Bai Liu, I'll warn you once more, you'd better hide your tail before you talk to me, let me guess where you've hidden your game manager?"

With a sharp force in his hand, he dislodged his jaw in a sharp pain that made Bai Liu squint, Tang Er Ta put the plastic bag he used to hold the cigarettes in his hand with a bit of disgust, and two fingers rudely reached under Bai Liu's tongue, a gesture that made Bai Liu's brow knit, and then Tang Er Ta's movement lurched.

"No?" Tang Er fought a frown, and for the first time, the strange captain who had always shown a level of understanding of Bai Liu that he knew like the back of his hand, appeared to face Bai Liu with a look of surprise that was unexpected.

"The rest of your timeline was hidden under your tongue after I captured it, how could it not be there?" Tang Er beat a tsk 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 wouldn't do something like that in another timeline that doesn't fit the aesthetics of your villainous behavior."

Tang Er hit tossed the plastic pockets aside casually and deliberately packed Bai Liu's jaws back in very vigorously - a crisp cackle crunch that hurt to hear.

However, Bai Liu did not show the cowardly look due to the pain as Tang Er Ta had hoped, Bai Liu just moved his jaw to get used to it, then calmly looked up and asked Tang Er Ta, "Other timelines? Your personal skill is time travel? You've captured me from other timelines many times?"

"My personal skill is not time travel, time travel this here a high danger level of shelter ability, or in other words, a god level prop ability in the game." Tang Er hit and lazily slumped in his chair with his arms and legs wide open, he crossed his feet up on the table and rested his head on the backrest of the chair, his head tilted to the side without looking at Bai Liu, "I won a league in a certain timeline and was granted a wish, then the game rewarded me with this prop based on my wish."

Tang Er hit the unlit cigarette with cut teeth and a slightly drunken gaze, "This prop allows me to jump around in different parallel timelines whenever I want, and whenever I feel dissatisfied or regretful about something, I reverse time to change it."

"I thought I was reversing time, but I soon realized that it wasn't, that I was in a different timeline in parallel time, and that I hadn't returned to the timeline I was originally in." Tang Er hit drooped his eyelids and chewed on his cigarette.

There was a slight silence as he said this, but very Tang Er hit resumed that cynical expression as he beat a corner and turned his head back to look at Bai Liu, "And it's funny Bai Liu, you're bound to be the greatest nemesis of our Heresy Disposal Bureau in all of the timelines I've been through."

"Because in all the timelines of eternal continuity, you are destined to become the sole devotee of the evil god Taville." Tang Er hit pulls a gun from his own waist, his eyes as hazy as if he's still awake, but his stance as he raises the gun is steady.

He leveled the gun at Bai Liu's right eye, "And then you, a demon who would 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 identity as a follower of an evil god to create all kinds of evil things that can be used to enrich yourself, you auction off mirrors that can reflect the things that are fearful inside a person at sky-high prices, and allow shameless people to steal them and then sell them again and again in the market at high prices after they are constantly circulated, you put Siren's fish bones on display in the most high-class museums with the highest tickets, so that the viewers can go crazy and obsessive over the decaying beautiful mermaids, and you sell to the rich people the most expensive life-saving medicine, blood reishi, and smile to collect the payment of these sideburns dogs that have survived sucking the blood of children."

"And then there is this dried rose leaf Wa Si that makes everyone wither in madness," Tang Er hit glanced down at the perfume in the tiny glass bottle on the table, "After you let it proliferate, you keep raising its selling price, so that the poor who can't afford it despair as the rose dissipates and fades away in its aroma wither by the side of the road where no one visits, while the rose in the eyes of the rich who can afford it blooms joyfully in the halls of gilded splendor. "

Tang Er hit the safety opened with his thumb, his index finger on the trigger, he stared straight into Bai Liu's eyes, his eyes had a kind of thorn-like sharpness: "You are the same as the game, a madman who buys the souls of human beings and pours out evil things for his own benefit this world."

"And it is my destiny to kill you."

Bang!
