I Am Not the God of Drama

Chapter 1261: Han Meng's Pursuit

Han Meng's Pursuit

"I can't tell you right now."

Little Peach shook her head. "But you've done a great job so far... As for the Silver King, you don't need to worry. The Red King has already hurried to the South Sea Domain and is hiding in the shadows."

"The Red King actually came in person?" A look of joy appeared on Pu Jianyue's face.

"Yes, but the Silver King is hiding too deeply. Even the Red King won't be able to find him easily... unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless someone actively draws the Silver King out."

Pu Jianyue lowered his head, lost in thought.

"Acting as bait for the Silver King is no easy task. It requires not only incredible infiltration skills but also exceptional escape abilities. Otherwise, before the Red King even gets a chance to kill the Silver King, the bait might already be dead..." Little Peach sighed dramatically.

"It's not easy to find someone like that..."

"I can try." Pu Jianyue looked up at Little Peach.

"Since the Silver King actively targeted me, it means he is definitely very interested in me. And since I escaped from his clutches once, I should be able to escape a second time."

Little Peach gave him a deep look. "This is very dangerous, and you were just injured..."

"With my infiltration skills, no one in the Dusk Society is more suited for this role than me."

Pu Jianyue didn't know why he was so confident, but he just felt that he could do it.

Furthermore, the Silver King had stolen almost all of his memories. If he didn't kill him, he would forever remain in this state of confusion... And the Red King's arrival in the South Sea Domain had undoubtedly given him immense confidence. As long as he could coordinate well with the Red King this time, they could directly eliminate the Silver King, this major threat.

"Sigh... alright then."

Little Peach raised her hand again, and a map flew from the shadow's hand to land in front of Pu Jianyue. "Tomorrow, go to this place. Cause as big of a commotion as you possibly can."

"This is..."

"It's the headquarters of a local faction in the South Sea. We received intelligence that the Silver King is very likely hiding there." Little Peach paused for a moment. "But you must be extremely careful. Besides the Silver King, there are also several high-ranking Divine Path Possessors stationed there. If the Silver King still hasn't shown up after things blow up, flee immediately. No matter what, safety first, understand?"

"Don't worry, I won't joke around with my own life."

Pu Jianyue solemnly put the map away.

"Good luck, Six of Hearts."

Pu Jianyue didn't say anything more. He coldly pulled his hood back up, turned, and left the room.

The room fell into silence once again.

One minute, two minutes... After confirming that Pu Jianyue had gone far away, the corners of Little Peach's mouth couldn't stop rising...

"Hahahahaha!! Little White! How was my acting just now?!"

"Great! Too great! He actually believed it!!"

"He's just as gullible as Big Brother Chen Ling said."

"Isn't he just... He's even dumber than me."

Little Peach took off her little yellow hat and looked at her perked-up ears in the mirror, her smile incredibly radiant.

She was no longer Chen Ling's burden, but a helper who could contribute to the Integration Faction alongside him. For her, this sense of fulfillment was more precious than anything else...

From today onwards,

She had also become a part of the 'Chen Ling Legend'.

...

A misty drizzle danced in the air.

Han Meng walked out of the side room and looked at the gloomy sky above. The rustling of swaying trees around him rose and fell continuously... Occasionally, he could even hear rumbles of thunder echoing from beyond the heavens.

"...Did the temperature drop?" Han Meng reached out and touched a few drops of icy rain, muttering to himself in slight confusion.

Right at that moment, Pu Chunshu approached with a large group of figures.

"Officer Han Meng, the Family Head has agreed."

Pu Chunshu walked up to him and got straight to the point. "We'll go to the scene right now."

Han Meng wasn't surprised by this.

"Mm, let's go."

With two Councilors murdered, the pressure on the Pu Family was simply too immense. The only way for them to prove their innocence was to find the killer as quickly as possible... A bunch of scholars from the Pu Family didn't know the first thing about investigating a case, so Han Meng was naturally the best candidate.

Therefore, even though he was under pressure, the Family Head had to involve Han Meng in this incident to clear the Pu Family's name.

Sitting in the car, Han Meng looked at the dancing drizzle and the gloomy sky outside, unable to resist asking:

"Is the weather in the South Sea Domain always like this?"

"Mm... no." Pu Chunshu glanced at the sky. "The South Sea Domain is rather special. It's as warm as spring all year round, and there are rarely strong winds or heavy rains... I don't know what's going on with the weather lately. It has indeed been a bit unpredictable, and the temperature has dropped a lot."

About ten minutes later,

The vehicle stopped in front of a blocked-off street.

The crime scene was well protected by the South Sea police officers. Han Meng and Pu Chunshu crossed the police line and headed straight into the depths of Gong and Drum Street.

Amidst a large patch of dried, pitch-black blood, several white lines outlined the positions and postures of the deceased before their deaths. Pu Chunshu pointed to the other side of Gong and Drum Street and said:

"Besides these things, there was also a car. However, that car has already been towed to the police station for a thorough inspection. If you need to, I can take you to see it later."

"That car, is it exactly the same as the one the Councilors drove themselves?"

"The exterior and interior are exactly the same, but the engine and other things are different... It's like someone specifically modified an old car to look like it."

Han Meng nodded slightly but didn't reply. Instead, he slowly walked through the murder scene, his gaze fixed on puddle after puddle of blood, as if he were simulating the situation at that time in his mind...

"What is currently known is that both Councilors suffered severe head trauma, as if struck from one side by some sort of blunt object. But this wasn't fatal. What was truly fatal were the thick, penetrating wounds in the area of their hearts..."

"Can I see the bodies?"

"Of course, no problem."

Pu Chunshu had arranged everything beforehand. After inspecting the scene, the two of them went straight to the police station. Right in front of Han Meng, two pale sheets were lifted...

Han Meng's gaze swept over their wounds, and then he raised a fingertip, carefully touching the skin around the injuries.

Seeing Han Meng touching the bodies without wearing gloves, a police officer immediately tried to stop him, but was forced back by a glare from Pu Chunshu. The entire room fell dead silent, leaving only the rustling sound of Han Meng's fingertips brushing against the corpses.

A glimmer of light flickered within Han Meng's eyes.

Way of the Soldier God, Judgment Path—[Eye of Adjudication].

The moment the faint light shone, the image of the murder scene from earlier and the two corpses in front of him seemed to come alive, being redrawn in his mind... Every detail, every bloodstain, corresponded to the injuries on their bodies, rapidly replaying before Han Meng's eyes.

At this moment, Han Meng felt as if he were standing right in the middle of the murder scene.

The car stopped.

The two Councilors opened the doors and ran frantically.

They seemed terrified. Their footprints were hurried and chaotic, and they even fell a few times on the road... Yet, in that area, no third person's footprints appeared.

Perhaps the killer was very light, so light that they had no weight at all, or...

They could fly.

The two Councilors sprinted down the street until they finally saw something. They stopped in terror, and a heavy blow struck Councilor Sun on the cheek, cracking his skull and sending him flying for more than ten meters before he crashed into another patch of ground...

Just then, as if realizing something, Han Meng immediately stopped the deduction of the Eye of Adjudication and focused all his attention on the wound on Councilor Sun's face.

That was...

A slap?

A bolt of lightning flashed through Han Meng's mind. He abruptly turned his head and looked at the eerie, levitating black shadow that had been deduced...

"It really was you..." he muttered to himself.
