Chapter 86 Missionary "The Butcher"

Something happened at home!
These five simple words shocked Qi Sui's heart. He didn't care whether the cleaning lady could ensure the quality of the work. After settling the salary in advance, he ran out of the manor.

"Mom, what happened?"

Qi Sui rushed up to the sixth floor in two steps. The security door was ajar, so he walked straight in.

At this time, there were several middle-aged women sitting on the sofa in the living room, crying.

Mother Zhang Fen was also crying, hugging one of the women and crying together.

Father Qi Hewei stood there and could only comfort him in a low voice. After seeing Qi Sui coming in, he felt like he had seen a savior and hurriedly pulled Qi Sui over.

"Xiao Sui, this is your aunt. Do you remember that when you were a child in the village, your aunt took care of you for a while."

"Dad, what happened?" Qi Sui asked in a low voice.

After seeing that his parents were fine, he finally felt relieved.

As for the impression of my aunt, I do have one but it is very vague.

Their family lived in the village for a while when Qi Sui was very young. Later, when he was old enough to go to elementary school, the whole family moved to Qinhai City.

My aunt and her family have always lived in the village.

Because the elderly in the family died early, the relationship between the two families gradually faded and there was no contact for a long time. I didn't expect that he would suddenly come to my door today.

"Sister Fang, you must help me. My husband died early, and I, a widow, had to make a living and raised my child with great difficulty. If anything happened to him, I would not be able to survive!" Aunt Qi Sui's face was covered with tears and she wailed miserably.

Zhang Fen kept patting the woman's shaking body, choking with sobs as she comforted her, "Sister, we are a family and we don't have to argue with each other. As long as we can help, we will definitely help. I watched Yiming grow up, and I can't just watch them get into trouble!"

Gradually, Qi Sui was able to get a general idea of ​​what was going on from the conversation between the two.

My aunt's son, my cousin, suddenly disappeared from the village a few days ago.

Also disappearing were several other young and middle-aged men in the village.

Afterwards, everyone went to the police station to report the case. The police simply took some statements and asked them to go home and wait for news. However, from the solemn and tired expressions of the police, everyone felt a strong sense of uneasiness.

With nowhere else to go, Qi Sui's aunt remembered her relatives far away in Qinhai City, so she brought everyone over, and the scene that happened today happened.

"Xiao Sui, I kneel down to you. I don't have much ability, but I know you as an important person. You must help me find out the news about your cousin."

The woman fell down in front of Qi Sui, crying.

Qi Sui was startled by her action, and hurriedly helped her up, saying with a wry smile: "Aunt, you are embarrassing me. I am just a high school graduate, how can I be considered a big shot?"

"But I will keep an eye on my cousin and the others' affairs for everyone."

"Then thank you in advance, auntie. This is the money that auntie and your aunts have collected together. You won't let your work be in vain." The woman took out a thick stack of coins wrapped in a cloth from her bosom, roughly estimated to be tens of thousands of yuan.

Tens of thousands of yuan is already a huge sum of money for a rural family.

"No, aunt, please don't. Please take the money back. I will definitely help my cousins ​​with their problems, but to be honest, I'm not a big shot. I just know a few uncles in the National Security Bureau. I can't guarantee whether there will be any results." Qi Sui hurriedly declined.

After barely calming down the women, he said directly: "Aunt, do you have anything that my cousin used before? Can you give me one? Maybe it can come in handy."

"How about a cell phone? This is the one your cousin has been using."

The woman took out an old cell phone from her pocket and handed it to me.

Qi Sui sniffed it and nodded, "Aunt, it's okay. You can stay at our house for the time being. Don't worry too much about your cousin. He may just be out playing with his girlfriend..."

He himself had no confidence to continue speaking.

At this time, mother Zhang Fen secretly tugged at Qi Sui's clothes and brought him to the relatively soundproof kitchen. She lowered her voice and said, "Xiao Sui, tell me the truth. Have you heard any rumors recently? Is your cousin's case serious?"

"Mom, it should be quite serious. You may not know that the entire Yun'an Province has recently entered a level three martial law."

Qi Sui had a serious expression and lowered his voice as he spoke: "Because the forces behind this incident may be related to a cult. I heard that over the past half month, more than 1000 people have gone missing in our province!"

"It's only because most of the missing people are concentrated in remote villages and towns that it didn't cause much stir in society."

Zhang Fen took a deep breath and said nervously, "Your aunt is really something. Isn't she trying to push her own child into the fire pit? Don't worry about this matter. Mom will find a reason to send them away!"

"Mom, my aunt may not know the specific reason, but the missing person is my cousin after all. I will try my best to help find Uncle He and ask him. I won't act recklessly." Qi Sui smiled helplessly.

Even if he wanted to help, with his strength that was not even that of a martial artist, he was not even worth a dish in front of a cult.

He still has this bit of self-knowledge.

After a brief conversation, my mother returned to the living room to comfort the aunts. In the end, she only kept my aunt at home temporarily, and sent all the other women from the village back.

Qi Sui returned to the bedroom and asked He Jing'an for detailed information about the recent activities of the Flesh and Blood Cult.

In He Jing'an's words, the rat hiding in the gutter has jumped onto the surface again, and it is never a bad thing to take some precautions in advance.

There is a clear hierarchy and strict class structure within the Cult of Flesh and Blood.

Standing at the top is the god of flesh and blood, Amaimon, who is rumored to possess extraordinary or even beyond-extraordinary strength.

Next are those powerful oracles, even the weakest of whom has the combat power of a top master.

Further down are the missionaries, who are the backbone of the religion.

Being a martial artist is one of the requirements for being selected to become a missionary.

The "butcher" who caused such a big stir in the entire Yun'an Province this time was a very senior missionary of the Church of God.

At the end of the information, a map of Yun'an Province pops up.

It spreads across the north and south, and across the east and west.

Nearly a hundred towns and villages, large and small, were marked with red dots to indicate where incidents of missing persons had occurred.

"This butcher is really cautious. He only acts in remote areas and doesn't touch second-tier and above developed cities." Qi Sui frowned as he watched.

Although the population density in cities is much higher than in rural areas, rural development is underdeveloped and monitoring equipment is incomplete in many places, which can minimize the risk of being discovered.

"It seems that what Uncle He said makes sense. The case at Longtan Mansion should not have been committed by the butcher. He just made a fuss at such a critical juncture. The perpetrator is probably trying to divert attention."

Qi Sui took a deep breath and closed the data.

There was still a doubt in his mind.

The ultimate goal of the Flesh and Blood Cult is blood sacrifice.

The blood sacrifice has extremely strict requirements on the venue, utensils, etc.

Even in the last era, when the power of the Flesh and Blood Cult was at its peak, it could only support the establishment of one blood altar in each province.

The missing people covered an entire province's population. What means did the "butcher" use to transport them to the blood sacrifice site under the surveillance of the National Security Bureau?

If he knew this, perhaps his unlucky cousin... could be rescued.

……

Three days passed.

The Yun'an Provincial National Security Bureau still failed to find any trace of the Flesh and Blood Cult.

Not only that, the number of missing people in various towns and villages increased, reaching as high as 3000, and the entire Yun'an Province was shrouded in the shadow of fear.

Everyone is in danger, and no one knows whether the fanatical followers of the Flesh and Blood Cult will come knocking on their door.

"Brother Qi, do you have any relatives in the nearby villages or towns? Please bring them to the city as soon as possible." He Jing'an called, his voice full of fatigue.

Qi Sui had just taken a hot shower, and casually adjusted the air conditioner to "18℃", then lay on his back on the bed and asked, "Uncle He, is the situation so serious now?"

"Today, the provincial government has just raised the level 3 martial law to level 2, and the army has been deployed to various villages and towns, but there is still no way. People have been missing, and no one knows how they were transported." He Jingan couldn't figure it out. Normally, at the level 2 martial law, there would be layers of checkpoints set up regardless of sea, land, or air transportation.

But the more than 3,000 missing people seemed to have evaporated into thin air, and no one ever saw any trace of them again.

"Is there really nothing we can do? Can we just watch them perform the blood sacrifice?" Qi Sui asked.

"There is always a way. If more people go missing, it will definitely alert the capital Tianfu, and they will naturally send out secret forces. As long as they are willing to take action, these stinky rats will be dug out even if they are hiding 100,000 meters underground."

It can be heard that He Jing'an is extremely confident in the power of Tianfu.

After all, it is the capital of Daxia, which has the most advanced technology and the most powerful warriors, and is the place where the destiny of a country is suppressed.

"By the way, Uncle He, is there any progress on the case at Longtan Mansion?" Qi Sui asked.

"No, the murderer was very sophisticated and left no traces. And the surveillance cameras in the entire mansion happened to be broken that day. Isn't that strange?"

He Jingan complained helplessly: "Now we can only use the most primitive means to investigate the victim's interpersonal relationships, but I always feel that this should be a random case. Given the difficulty of solving random cases... it is likely to become an unsolved case!"

Hearing this, Qi Sui felt a little heavy.

A happy family suddenly met with misfortune, and in the end, even the murderer might not be caught.

"Uncle He, from what you said, this case has nothing to do with the Flesh and Blood Cult, right?"

"There is absolutely no possibility of any connection. Only a fool like Cheng Feiteng, whose mind is filled with money and sex, would investigate these two cases together. In fact, the investigation of the Flesh and Blood Cult has already made some progress. It's too late to say anything now..."

He Jingan sighed.

If he really managed to find out about the blood sacrifice of the Flesh and Blood Cult, he would most likely be able to move up in his position and would no longer have to look at Cheng Feiteng's face.

After chatting with He Jingan for a few more words, Qi Sui hung up the phone.

The Lao Qi family has few members and no important relatives. Their relationships are weak, and apart from their parents, their grandparents died early, so they don't have to worry too much about the threat of the Flesh and Blood Cult.

"A strong country is the strongest support for its people. If it were the last era, the Flesh and Blood Cult would have already started a massacre in Qinhai City."

Qi Sui sighed as he noticed a message popped up in the chat box.

"Qi Sui, our class is holding a teacher appreciation banquet tonight at the Sun Moon Hotel. Remember to come early!"

It’s news about Liu Haoyun.

He clicked on the class group chat and took a look.

This farewell banquet was organized by the class monitor, and teachers from various subjects were invited. It was a formal farewell to the three years of high school.

After all, after this summer vacation, it will be almost impossible for a class of more than 50 people to get together again.

[Lin Chao]: Qi Sui, are you there?
A private message popped up.

Lin Chao was the class monitor for their three years of high school. He was a nice person and had a warm heart, and he could get along well with many people in his class.

It’s a pity that because Qi Sui is more socially anxious, her relationship with him only remains at the stage of ordinary classmates.

"Lin Chao, is there something wrong?"

[Lin Chao]: It's like this. My idea for this farewell party is to have everyone come as much as possible. Now most of the classmates have given positive responses, except for Gu Xiyue, who I sent a message to but haven't received a reply.

[Lin Chao]: Your classmates all say that you are quite close to her. Can you try to make an appointment with her? You have been classmates for three years, and I am afraid there will be no chance in the future.

"Okay, but I can't guarantee that Gu Xiyue will come."

After ending the chat, Qi Sui thought for a moment and then sent a message to Gu Xiyue.

I just waited for a long time, but still no reply.

"Could that woman really have gone astray in her cultivation?"

Qi Sui was startled and quickly called. After waiting for half a minute, the call was connected and a cold voice full of fatigue came from the microphone.

"Qi Sui, what's the matter?"

"There's a class party tonight, let's go together!"

"Don't go!"

Seeing that the call was about to be hung up, Qi Sui hurriedly said: "There can't be anyone who hasn't realized the momentum after so many days? No way, no way?"

"You're looking for a fight!"

Hearing the despicable tone in the microphone, Gu Xiyue raised her eyebrows and suppressed the anger in her heart.

This guy clearly knew that she was in a bottleneck, so could it be that he called her on purpose to irritate her?
Qi Sui immediately changed his tone and said with a smile: "Senior sister, the comprehension of momentum also requires relaxation and a balance between work and rest. If you keep your spirit tense, the effect of your comprehension of the visualization diagram will become worse and worse."

"Ah……"

Gu Xiyue was just about to say something.

But he was interrupted by Qi Sui: "Besides, isn't it time to settle the bill for the white lotus seeds I gave you before? And I have brought people back the ore in the cave, and you also need to deal with it."

"As for the extraordinary things we talked about before, you have to give me a definite answer, Senior Sister. You can't keep me hanging, right?"

"Then... let's do it."

Gu Xiyue hesitated for a moment, then responded softly: "I will go tonight, and then I will take care of all the things you just mentioned. Don't bother me again after that. I must figure out the situation before school starts."

"Good good!"

Qi Sui couldn't help but smile, he knew that the girl was trying to compete with him.

After hanging up the phone, Qi Sui jumped out of bed, ran to the closet and found a very slim and handsome set of clothes.

He had already taken a shower and then stood in front of the mirror and simply fixed his hair.

The young man in the mirror has an upright posture, is tall and strong, has red lips and white teeth, and a handsome face. It turns out that he not only has a good appearance, but also a good frame.

“You’re getting more and more handsome!”

Qi Sui attaches great importance to his appearance.

He pushed the door open and walked out, just in time to see his aunt coming back with a few plastic bags.

When his aunt saw him, she forced a smile and said, "Xiao Sui, I just went out to buy some fruits, vegetables and pork. I will cook for you tonight."

"The price of pork in the city has risen so much, it's almost 30r per pound. I remember that pork in our village was only 9r per pound. Sigh, everything is expensive in big cities!"

Staying in someone else's home for a long time.

Although they were relatives, the woman felt a little embarrassed. Seeing that Zhang Fang refused to take her money, she took the initiative to buy meat and vegetables.

"Aunt, we already have these things at home. I'm sorry to have cost you so much money!"

Qi Sui enthusiastically took the food and put it in the kitchen, then said, "Aunt, tell my mom that there's a class reunion tonight, so you don't have to save any food for me!"

"Hey, Xiao Sui, it's not safe outside recently. The police are patrolling the streets. You'd better come back early." The woman whispered.

"It's okay, I know what I'm doing!"

Qi Sui waved his hand and turned to leave.

There are surveillance cameras and checkpoints everywhere in the city, and the Flesh and Blood Cult does not have the courage to extend its hands into Qinhai City.
