From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 92 - 86: The Last Person

Seeing Sitichai's finger wrapped in gauze, Lu Heng pressed the Aurora Blade even tighter against him, ready to strike at the slightest provocation.

Not just Lu Heng, Chen Linian and Lin Zeyu all tightened their grips on their guns and switched off the safeties.

This made the atmosphere even tenser.

"Don't, don't do this." Sitichai dared not resist at all.

For him, the guns were the least of his worries. He was chiefly aware that he was no match for Lu Heng, and any resistance would lead to certain death.

Lin Zeyu pointed his gun at the gauze on his finger and chuckled, "Did you attach the Evil God's Finger to your hand? Lucky we arrived in time, or you might have caused a major disaster."

"What Evil God's Finger?" Sitichai's face showed a look of surprise.

"Stop talking nonsense, unwrap the gauze!" Lin Zeyu commanded.

"I'm unwrapping it, I'm unwrapping it."

Sitichai dared not resist and could only comply, unraveling the gauze from his left index finger.

After unwrapping, his finger appeared fine except for some minor injuries on his hand.

"I was practicing punching and broke the skin, so I wrapped it up," Sitichai explained after removing the gauze.

It's common for people who practice boxing to have injuries on their hands.

His finger was indeed fine, just a normal human finger.

Lin Zeyu frowned and pointed to another finger wrapped in gauze, "Unwrap that one too!"

Sitichai unwrapped the gauze on his middle finger as well, which, like his index finger, was a normal human finger without any issues.

Lin Zeyu's face showed confusion, the gun barrel now pointed downward, "Then it must be on your toes!"

Sitichai didn't understand why these people wanted to see his fingers and toes, but that wasn't important.

He promptly took off his shoes as well, revealing unscathed feet.

Seeing this, everyone displayed a confused expression.

"It could be somewhere else, the Evil God's Finger doesn't necessarily have to be attached to a hand," Lin Zeyu continued to examine other possibilities.

Chen Linian, however, shook his head, put away his gun, and said, "No need to search further, it's not on him. Both those corpses exuded an evil aura, but there's none on him."

"What in the world is going on?" Lin Zeyu was completely baffled.

After showing the fingers and toes of both his hands and feet, and thus proving his innocence, Sitichai finally got up from the ground.

At that moment,

the police from Siam arrived at the hotel.

Sitichai went out to explain the situation to the police from Siam, "There's no issue here, I'll compensate for the broken door."

After managing the Siam police, Chen Linian gestured for his disciple to search the hotel room.

Gao Zhitin checked every corner of the hotel, looking for any suspicious spots, but found nothing.

Lu Heng stood in the hotel lounge area, chin in hand, pondering, and asked, "Why did you come to Phuket Island?"

Sitichai, sitting on the sofa, spread his hands and answered, "For a vacation. After coming out from the Abyss Battlefield, I wanted to relax."

Lu Heng continued, "Do you know Su Cha and Weiseg?"

"I know them. Weiseg and I are friends. I met Su Cha in the Abyss Battlefield, we exchanged contact details, planning to collaborate in the future," Sitichai honestly replied.

"Do you know they are in trouble?" Lu Heng asked this while staring into his eyes.

"What trouble? I spoke with Weiseg on the phone the day before yesterday," Sitichai's face showing confusion.

"Then you might want to check the news," Lu Heng suggested.

Sitichai took out his phone, searched for news, and then saw the news about mummified corpses, which had been identified as Weiseg and Su Cha.

After seeing the news, his face was filled with shock, "What happened?"

New novel chapters are published on freewёbn૦νeɭ.com.

Lu Heng paused to think, feeling that disclosing the matter to him didn't matter.

Strictly speaking, Sitichai was also involved in this matter.

He had participated in the action to stop the resurrection ceremony, so he was also a target for Evil God Barton's revenge.

"Somebody brought a piece of the Evil God's Finger from the Abyss Battlefield, and your two friends died because of it."

"Who?" Sitichai widened his eyes.

Lin Zeyu came over and interjected, "We initially thought it was you."

"Why me? Couldn't it be someone else?" Sitichai was perplexed.

Lin Zeyu spread his hands and said, "Because we've checked all the Power Users who returned from the Evil God's Burial Ground, and you were the last one. Plus, two people you know were drained completely. You tell me, aren't you the prime suspect?"

Sitichai was stunned, shaking his head, "I really don't know what's going on."

Chen Linian and his disciples were also discussing the case, and their investigation had hit a dead end.

Gao Zhitin brought up a new idea, "Is it possible that the person who brought the Evil God's Finger was already killed by the Evil God?

"The person carrying the Evil God's Finger might be either Su Cha or Weiseg, and after they touched the Evil God's Finger, it drained their flesh and blood."

Despite the leap in this line of thought, it was indeed a possibility.

Lu Heng, however, shook his head, rejecting this speculation, "This doesn't fit with the Evil God's modus operandi. Evil God Barton likes to enslave his servants to do his bidding.

"He could completely have made the Power User who brought his finger out into one of his minions, instead of draining this Power User."

"If he needed to consume flesh, he could have randomly chosen any Superpower User he encountered on the road.

"Since he targeted Superpower Users returning from the Evil God's Burial Ground, it indicates that this is an act of revenge."

After listening, Chen Linian looked at Lu Heng with a scrutinizing gaze.

This analysis was too accurate and almost identical to his own.

Having worked on cases for many years, he possessed a wealth of experience and could profile criminals based on their behavioral traits and deduce their psychological state.

As long as there is intelligence in a being, there is logic in its actions.

Even an Evil God would have psychological traits.

For instance, Evil God Barton, due to the disruption of his resurrection ceremony, chose to take revenge on Superpower Users.

This is the logic of behavior, unavoidable for any intelligent being.

Chen Linian took out a cigarette, sniffed it without lighting it, and then said, "I agree with this analysis. The two deceased Superpower Users were indeed acts of revenge, and the one who brought out the Evil God's Finger is still alive."

"But we have checked all the Superpower Users who came out of the Evil God's Burial Ground," Lin Zeyu said frustratingly, scratching his head almost to the point of explosion, unable to come up with a reason.

"Is it possible that there were other Superpower Users who came out from the Evil God's Burial Ground that aren't documented?" Gao Zhitin suggested another possibility.

Su Muyu, who seldom spoke, said, "That shouldn't be the case. I've gone through the documents, and there's nothing missing. Even if there were other Superpower Users from the Evil God's Burial Ground that we don't know about, that person definitely never entered the Barton Temple nor had contact with the Evil God's Finger."

Since preventing the Evil God Resurrection Ceremony is a Challenge Task, it is optional.

Thus, if a Superpower User hid elsewhere and did not participate in the final battle, it's possible they survived and returned.

However, such Superpower Users would not have entered the Barton Temple, naturally having no chance to contact the Evil God's Finger.

Lu Heng took over and said, "Don't look elsewhere. The target is definitely among the fifteen people on the record. We must have missed something when we investigated before."

As he spoke, Lu Heng looked at Chen Linian and said, "Inspector Chen, I hope you can check..."

Before Lu Heng could finish, Chen Linian reached into his pocket for his cellphone: "Understood, air travel information."

He pulled out his phone and walked to the balcony to make a call, ordering an Iron Blood Investigator inside the country to pull up flight information.

The reason for checking flight information was straightforward.

Of the fifteen people listed, aside from the three including Lu Heng, nine were in the country, and three in Siam.

Among the three in Siam, two had died, leaving only Sitichai.

Now, with Sitichai in front of them, he was largely ruled out as a suspect.

Therefore, the issue lay with the nine individuals in the country.

For these nine people to appear in Siam and kill Su Cha and Weiseg, they would need to take a flight.

With the authority of Iron Blood, pulling flight information was simple.

Thus, Chen Linian soon received a reply, "Checked already. No flight information. The nine in the country didn't buy any flight tickets in the past half month."

Lin Zeyu looked at Sitichai, suspicious, and said, "The nine in the country haven't gone abroad, so it must be you."

"Why has it come back to me? I truly didn't. Besides, Weiseg and I were close brothers; I couldn't possibly have killed him," Sitichai quickly defended.

Lu Heng pondered for a moment and then said, "Then there's only one possibility left. This person did not use their own identity to fly."

Chen Linian also considered this, "If that's the case, then we can't track them."

If this person used someone else's identity, it indeed would be untraceable.

Since one could use anyone's identity, any random person encountered on the road would suffice.

As for how to board a plane using someone else's identity, with the powers of the Evil God, dealing with airport security would be all too simple.

After serious consideration, Lu Heng looked at Chen Linian and mentioned, "There's only one solution left, send your people to confirm the locations of those nine Superpower Users in the country. Whoever you can't find is our suspect."

After a pause, Lu Heng added, "First, confirm the two linked to Thunder."

Lu Heng crouched down and began to recall the previous investigation of the two Superpower Users related to Thunder, considering what might have been overlooked.

This approach was the most direct and effective.

With two people dead on the side of Siam, it meant that the person who took the Evil God's Finger was in Siam.

From the nine in the country, whoever's movements are suspicious is the person.

Chen Linian contacted the country, instructing them to verify the whereabouts of the nine.

Half an hour later.

Chen Linian received a response, looked at Lu Heng, but did not immediately disclose the answer.

Lu Heng raised his head, looking at him and asked, "Is it Fei Zhijie?"

Chen Linian's eyes narrowed slightly as he confirmed, "Yes, it's him. The person sent found his cellphone at his residence, but not him."

Hearing it was Fei Zhijie, Gao Zhitin showed a shocked expression and said, "That can't be right. We tested his blood, and there was nothing wrong. How could it be him?"

"Perhaps we got there too early before he could attach the Evil God's Finger," Lu Heng finally understood what had happened.

He had memories of a past life, so he had begun investigating the matter of the Evil God's Finger very early in this life.

Because of the premature investigation, they missed the key evidence.

"It's time to issue a warrant," Lu Heng reminded.

"It's already been issued. All domestic airports will receive the warrant, and as soon as he appears on any surveillance, we will be immediately informed," answered Chen Linian.
