"Let's do it in cash, then." Having said this, Wang Yun immediately ended the call. His priority now was to savor the moment. Just arrived in Xiyun City, he was still unfamiliar with the local geography. However, with thirty subordinates at his disposal, all natives of the area, he could rely on their local knowledge. These thirty underlings' identities were currently usable for his needs. To avoid drawing attention to himself, Wang Yun opted for a simple solution, ordering takeout. Once…-

Facing real police, he decided it was wiser to explain everything thoroughly. Having said that, he turned his gaze to the assassins. Witnessing Wang Yun's mere glance sent a shiver down their spines. Some were so frightened that their feet became damp and soggy. They were scared to the point of wetting themselves. "Make sure you all cooperate with our police comrades! Understand?" Wang Yun bellowed. "Loud and clear, loud and clear!" "Understood, Brother Wang Yun, I got it!" "Officer, I'll…

"I should leave now." One day, Xeila found Wu Qingsong and told him this, her gaze intensely fixed on him as if attempting to discern his true feelings. "So soon?" Wu Qingsong instinctively asked, then shook his head. "Where will you go?" He was well aware that Xeila had broken away from the sand thieves. Indeed, she had never truly been one of them, merely aligning with them temporarily due to her connection with Sacker. The sand thieves neither acknowledged nor accepted the leadership of a young…-

Wu Qingsong killed all eight bandits, subsequently turning them into walking corpses as per the instructions on the fragmented scrolls. This ordeal was a significant mental trial and torment for him, and the consecutive failures made him realize that necromancy wasn't the effortless, cost-free solution he had imagined. According to The Book of the Dead, the more potent the necromantic spell, the lower its success rate, and the more severe the backlash from any failure. This necessity compelled…

"We've located one of the groups," Angus reported. The goods stolen by these robbers needed to be fenced quickly. They couldn't just sit on them. Wu Qingsong had Ram and Xeila use their abilities to infiltrate the two most suspicious merchant associations. They quickly identified a target for surveillance. Then, selecting the most skilled trackers from among the houndmen, along with Xeila, they followed a courier sent out by the bandits, quickly uncovering their hideout. Wu Qingsong had Ling bring…

Wu Qingsong quickly realized that there was no limit to the number of skeletons he could control. Given enough corpses and soul fragments, he could continuously produce skeletons. However, this was in terms of their mere existence, not their effective command. Effective control was akin to playing a real-time strategy game that required micromanagement, where he had to quickly switch his focus to issue commands to different skeletons. With his beginner-level skills, substituting brain speed for hand…

According to The Book of the Dead, the medium required to summon undead creatures of different levels varied greatly. Weak skeletons only needed soul fragments that were scattered across battlefields and lands of the dead, devoid of self-awareness, to be activated, whereas powerful undead creatures required the infusion of strong and complete souls. The most formidable ones even needed the fusion of many powerful souls to be successfully summoned. For necromancers, aside from powerful materials, the…

"Boss, something's off." As Xiao Yu was gearing up to delve deep into the entire crematorium's workings, Li Xin hung up his phone. "A friend of mine, who specializes in economic investigations, took a look into the crematorium manager for us. Turns out, this guy's record is spotless." Xiao Yu's instructions required expertise beyond his own capabilities, necessitating the involvement of an economic investigator well-versed in the industry. Li Xin’s friend proved to be extremely…-

The surveillance footage definitely showed irregularities. The crematorium operated a dedicated service for transporting bodies, a service for which families had to pay. Alternatively, families could opt for a somewhat unusual approach of bringing the body themselves. However, most ordinary families preferred to use the services provided by the crematorium. The issue arose specifically with the vehicles used for transporting bodies. Under normal conditions, these vehicles would only be dispatched…

Outside the charnel house, three veteran detectives stood before Xiao Yu, awaiting his instructions. Xiao Yu’s expression was icy as he held his phone, on a call. Who was on the line? A civilian deputy director from the police system. Xiao Yu didn't know him personally but was surprised that he had his mobile number and was calling him during an investigation, clearly showing the call’s purpose was to intervene. "Apologies, but you should direct your concerns to our captain," Xiao Yu…
