Chapter 5: Parents That Lie
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Shan was undoubtedly overwhelmed by all of this.
Even if she was an extraordinary investigator, it did not mean that her physical strength was particularly amazing.
Every time an extraordinary person used their extraordinary power, there was always a price to be paid. This would bring them one step closer to madness, and there was even a risk of losing control of that very madness.
The moment she saw Bai Yu, she was so scared that her thoughts ran a hundred miles per second. Her heart was racing as she felt her San value dropping rapidly.
Normal mutants did not have that high of an intelligence, so it was impossible for them to launch a surprise attack.
This one, however, not only did it launch a surprise attack, it was also very dirty minded.
"D*mn it, was this person a pervert when he was alive? Did his obsession after the mutation make him attack me like this?" Lin Shan was both shocked and angry at the same time. She could tell from the moment they came into contact that this mutant body was very weak. Even if it was weak, it still attacked with purpose.
In fact, it should not even be considered an attack because no one in their right minds would ever attack like this!
Lin Shan, who was only wearing a floral short shirt on her upper body, was completely unable to defend against this sudden attack.
The moment she was hit, complicated patterns began to appear on her smooth arm, and a dim black light rose. "Go to H*ll, you dirty mutated body!"
Bai Yu's entire body was sent flying five to six meters away as he slammed heavily into the wall with a bang.
At this moment, the ten-minute effect finally came to an end!
The effect of the magic potion quickly faded, and Bai Yu instantly woke up from his over the top behavior. His IQ once again took over the high ground. The redness all over his body gradually faded away, and his eyes regained their clarity.
However, Lin Shan was already charging towards him.
Seeing the indescribable black light emitting from her arm, Bai Yu knew that if he took this hit head-on, he would definitely die.
In a moment of emergency he hurriedly shouted, "Stop! I'm a survivor!"
Her palm stopped less than ten centimeters away from his forehead. The black light that was filled with a destructive aura made Bai Yu's heart palpitate like crazy. He had never felt so close to death before.
"I'm the landlord of this building, the survivor of this supernatural incident. If you don't believe me, there is a student card in my backpack, it's mine." Bai Yu hurriedly stood up from the ground, his gaze wary of being attacked for real this time.
It was strange.
When he was in a state of madness just now, he actually felt fine knowing he would take a blow. Even if he was in a state of madness, he did not feel the slightest bit of pain from his injuries as well. Moreover, his hands, which had become deformed due to the mental infection, had also gradually healed. His two open mouths had disappeared.
Was this the effects of the potion he drank just now?
Bai Yu's heart still had lingering dreaded fear.
It was too dangerous for an ordinary person to be involved in such a magical incident and survive. Even with the help of the potion, it still seemed incredulous.
The incident happened so suddenly that he did not have the time to make any preparations.
No, he had to be more prepared should this ever happen in the future!
Crack!
At this moment, cold handcuffs quickly locked his wrists.
Lin Shan stared at Bai Yu. "I suspect that you have something to do with this supernatural incident. Now shut up and go back to the police station to explain yourself!"
The interrogation was expected, but what kind of gaze was this woman giving? Was this allowed as someone on duty?!
He swore he never provoked her.
Was it the time of the month for her?
Bai Yu was suspicious.
…
"Name."
"Bai Yu."
"Age."
"Eighteen."
"Gender."
"Are you seriously asking me this?"
In the interrogation room, Bai Yu was handcuffed to the table, feeling a little uncomfortable.
He had clearly solved a big problem, put away the sealed artifact, and saved so many lives in the community, yet he was still being mercilessly interrogated. It was simply inhuman.
It was hard to be a hero, but it was even harder to be a nameless hero.
"Hurry up and answer. I don't have time to argue with you."
Lin Shan knocked on the ballpoint pen with an unfriendly gaze. "Do you know how many people died this time?
"Twenty seven of them!
"The rest of the losses have yet to be revealed, and the source of the incident has yet to be investigated. If you don't want to be locked up, answer honestly."
"Male!"
"Noted. Next question, why did you attack me?"
"I thought you were a mutant!"
"Then why... Why did you attack me like that?"
"Attack the vital parts! My teacher said that many human-shaped mutants still can't hide a human's weakest part. Attacking the vital parts can often result in unexpected results!"
The ballpoint pen was broken by Lin Shan. Her beautiful eyes stared fixedly at Bai Yu. Her gaze was like a dagger, wanting to pierce through his heart.
Only then did Bai Yu see clearly the true appearance of this investigator.
Her figure was slender and graceful, and her face was delicate and charming all at the same time. Her black hair was gently draped behind her back, and her eyes glinted. Her beautiful jade-like features were alluring, causing people to unconsciously feel a desire to protect her.
However, when he thought of this woman's violence, Bai Yu could not help but feel a chill rise from the soles of his feet.
"Officer Lin, this is his file."
Zhou He quickly walked in, gently placed a stack of documents on the table, and hurriedly escaped.
"I see how it is. You've been a good student from primary school to middle school. Although you got bad grades, they weren't the worst.
"However, a lot of people make mistakes after high school.
"For example, bullying a female classmate, fighting, using magic potions to prank others… Of these such,
"With your criminal record and today's extraordinary incident, it wouldn't be an issue to lock you up for a month or two.
"So if you tell the truth now, there's still room for leniency."
Lin Shan opened Bai Yu's high school file with great expectations.
However, after reading a few lines, the smug expression on her face gradually froze.
"Third time nominee as student rep, outstanding student award, and the number one student in every exam?
"The only student in history who got full marks in all subjects?
"The student president of East City's first high school, the president of the Potion Society, the President of the Ancient Martial Arts society, and one of the top ten students in East City?
"And this, after staying in the library for four days and four nights and continuously reading seventeen books on the introduction to Mysticism, you were rated as a model student by the school?
"You even generously donated one million dollars to Linjiang's High School to build a new potion laboratory?"
Lin Shan looked at this ridiculous file and felt like she was reading a novel. No, she could not consider this a novel at all. It was a f*cking top selling biography!
The things described in the file could only be achieved by monsters!
If Zhou He had not personally sent the file, she would have suspected that it was a fake copy.
How could there be such a person that existed in this world?
This kind of child only existed through parents who lie about their offsprings to others.
Impossible!
She would rather believe that she had gone crazy than accept this information.
Lin Shan flipped through the pages.
"Your parents were once instructors at Linjiang Demon University's Martial Arts school. Three years ago, they went missing after solving an S-grade supernatural incident. There is still no news about them, and they have been declared dead.
"Every year, your mental evaluation is excellent. There are no signs of distortion or madness.
"You are always cheerful and helpful. You often enlighten your classmates and give them psychological and spiritual guidance."
Looking at this line of work, it caused Lin Shan's eyebrow to tilt upward.
"What? Did this incredulous file of mine scare you? That's right, I'm a top student with all-rounded skills!"
Bai Yu broke the silence.
His file was impeccable.
He was shocked when he read it back then. Even he did not know how outstanding he was!
This time… Surprisingly, Lin Shan could not refute him. Instead, she looked at Bai Yu with a strange gaze.
