"Yesterday, a strange man came and said that the woman is his aunt."
Anning snorted and drank the wine in her cup.
Beside her sat a young man who was not much younger than her.
Clean face, warm smile, very attractive to the sad girl.
"Oh? That's strange. You don't have any memories of that man?"
"Well, vaguely remember a little bit, but not very clear. It seems that the woman mentioned her nephew."
The boy called the bartender and filled the tranquil glass with wine again.
"Are we going to drink all day today? Didn't you say we could..."
"How can we be in such a hurry for this kind of thing?"
He interrupted Anning's words and took out a notebook from his pocket. Placing the notebook on the table and opening it, Anning finally saw the secrets of the city. "We still need to investigate that cult. Once we're done, we'll definitely call you in."
The boy had to bring out some dry goods to calm his anxious heart.
"You are our chosen candidate, I won't give up on you," he said.
After reading the notes, Anning looked at the wine in the cup and smiled.
She is about to have a new home soon.
Without worrying about worldly principles, she truly accepts her place.
Seeing her emotions stabilize a bit, the young man wanted to say something more.
Two palms were already placed on his head.
The bartender looked up and hastily pulled out a gun.
Anning also reacted and quickly turned to look.
She knows the person behind her.
It's the guy who claimed to be Karin yesterday.
He always has a sly smile on his lips, tied up in a bun, looking odd.
"Tell me how you want to die. I don't mind fulfilling your last wish."
After dealing with the gang members who wanted to blackmail him, Karin stood outside the main hall of Red Demon for a while.
He probably figured out what was going on.
"Let him go!" Anning grabbed the wine glass from the table and tried to smash it, but was stopped by the young man.
"Anning, sit still and behave. Uncle Zhang, put down the gun too," Anning gritted her teeth but still obeyed the young man's words. Karin also sat down next to the two of them, casually picking up a bottle of wine and drinking from it.
The young man also saw his face clearly.
"I really didn't expect that it would be Lotus seal who came. I don't think our organization has offended you."
Karin pointed to Anning.
"She is currently my younger sister," Anning still couldn't figure out the situation, and saw that the young man's forehead was already sweating. He was thinking.
Right now, Karin has not taken any action, obviously waiting for his explanation.
This matter can still be discussed.
"Elder Lotus seal, do you think it's right for the Management Bureau to give up on Wilderness City so easily?"
Hearing the young man refer to Karin as a senior, Anning's mind was a bit confused. He had said that their organization was the most powerful group of ability users in the country, so why would they be afraid of this unserious man? Karin waved her hand.
"I might be considered an investigator from the management bureau, but there are some things that I am powerless to do," he said, pointing to Anning's hand. "If you remove that thing from Anning today, I will consider that I never came here."
Karin is willing to give the young man a chance. This matter was originally mishandled by the authorities, and he can let these people off the hook. But Anning must be taken away today, and it's really disgraceful to involve minors.
Who knew Anning immediately stood in front of the two. "Who the hell do you think you are? This is my decision. What right do you have to make decisions for me?" The young man was afraid of provoking Karin and quickly pulled Anning behind him.
Anning doesn't know who Karin is, but he knows it very well.
He is a first-class detective of the Central Abnormal Management Bureau, known as the "Lotus Seal" killer.
He once single-handedly eliminated an illegal curse-carrying gathering in a city.
Karin still hopes to reason with this family.
Showing some tolerance to minors is the responsibility of adults.
"Anning, you've only heard his side of the story. You may not fully understand what has happened in this city."
"Come back with me, I will protect you and your mother and keep you safe."
Every word he said was sincere.
The privileges of a first-class detective were enough for him to let An Ran and her mother leave here.
"Can't you just be at peace and not be grateful at all?"
"Do you understand anything? This is the city where my father lived! If you don't protect it, do you still want to stop me from protecting it?"
The young man was sweating profusely.
"Uncle Zhang, take Anning out, I'll chat with the senior for a while."
He didn't dare to make any small moves.
The notorious reputation of Lotus seal was earned through killing.
No matter how Anning resisted, she was still dragged away by the bartender.
The young man sat upright.
"Whether the senior believes it or not, the curse on Anning really has nothing to do with us."
"I just found her while strolling down the street, and she was already parasitized at that time."
Karin squinted at the young man.
"I'll believe your words for now, but why don't you lift the curse from her?"
The young man smiled bitterly and said, "Senior, you're joking. Our organization doesn't have that capability at all."
The two fell silent for a while before the young man finally flipped open his notebook.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that there's no need to sacrifice lives today. Seeing Karin interested in the notebook, the young man's mind started to wander again. "This notebook records a cult we discovered. They use Buddhism as a facade to attract a large number of followers."
"The god worshipped by the cult is named Grandma Yunsheng."
The Karin quickly scanned the intelligence.
"What ability does this cult use to attract its followers?"
"You may not believe it, but they can resurrect the dead," the young man cleared his throat and repeated the words spoken by those missionaries. "Grandma Yunsheng once made a paintbrush for the disciple of the Buddha, Maudgalyayana, but he was expelled from the Pure Land by the Buddha for using his supernatural powers recklessly."
"During her world travels, Grandma Yunsheng encountered the leader of a cult who had lost his son. Grandma Yunsheng then resurrected his son for him."
"Following this, the cult leader established a shrine for Grandma Yunsheng and founded a sect."
"The curse that can resurrect people, and can still deceive many, seems quite unbelievable to the Karin."
Generally speaking, the power of a curse is directly proportional to its cost. The stronger the power, the greater the cost. The ability to resurrect a person is so powerful that sacrificing an entire city would not be excessive.
The young man noticed the doubts in the Karin. He hurried to the elder's side. "And the price they require for this cult is even smaller."
"If the congregation wants to resurrect someone, they just need to bring a pregnant woman about to give birth to the altar to deliver."
"They don't seek flesh and blood, nor do they desire children. All they need for the resurrection is a belly full of amniotic fluid."
Karin put down the notebook, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Isn't this great?"
He understood that the young man just wanted to divert attention away from their organization. But this non-profit and non-harming sect doesn't need any management. Moreover, this resurrection trick probably doesn't bring back real people most of the time.
It's probably all about illusions and prosthetics.
The young man mysteriously pulled out an envelope from his pocket.
"This is the latest message sent by our organization members last night."
Karin I took out the letter, and there was a photo attached inside.
The things in the photo looked somewhat familiar.
A fixed smile, exaggerated apple cheeks, eyes that seemed to have no eyelids, hanging on a pale face with snowflake-like spots.
It conveyed a unique sense of fear through the peephole. The words were neatly written in square characters in the lower right corner. Each character was a perfect square with a side length of 1.5 centimeters, and ended with a perfectly round period.
"I am becoming you."
