University Road in the evening. Gao Cheng opened the window and looked ahead, as if he was stuck in traffic. The long queue of container trucks is endless. Yang Fan was a little anxious, he looked at his watch, and the time was almost seven o'clock.

Gao Cheng was also a little depressed. He stared at the vehicle in front of him, his anxiety unconcealed. It wasn't far from the police station to get here, and it took nearly an hour to drive. Now, the vehicle in front is still moving. He looked at the siren on the front of the car and tried to pull it up, but finally gave up on the idea.

Yang Fan and Gao Cheng parked the car to the side, and the two walked forward. Although the road is tightly packed, there is not much movement on the sidewalk.

Gradually, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and only the dim street lamps stood on the side of the road with their heads drooping. Passing through a green belt, an abandoned factory appears in front of you. A small broken door blocked the front, and a few words were written crookedly on it, Forbidden Zone, do not enter. Gao Cheng and Yang Fan glanced at each other and bent down to get in.

It has been almost a week since the "Spiritual Society" was monitored. This time, Gao Cheng is ready to close the net. Originally, Gao Cheng's characterization of the "Spirit Society" was a continuation of the "Grim Reaper" case, but he later discovered that there was not only a continuation of the "Grim Reaper" in the "Spirit Society", but also some more serious evils. For example, the "Prophet" always used some strange events to confuse the members of the "Spiritual Society", and even amassed wealth through the members. At the beginning, there was only one QQ group, and now it has multiplied to 5. At this rate, the "Spirit Society" will become the number one cancer in the southern city.

After careful deployment and analysis of the previous meetings of the "Spiritual Society", Gao Cheng decided to close the net today, destroy the "Spiritual Society" in one fell swoop, and arrest the "prophet" behind the scenes. ”

Behind the small door is an abandoned wasteland. It was overgrown with weeds, and it was deserted. It is hard to imagine that the "spiritual meeting" could be held in such a place. Yang Fantie's face was blue, and the fire in his stomach was stirring the wild grass in front of him.

There were faint lights coming from the front, and some loud music. Gao Cheng knew that it was a prelude to the "Spirit Meeting" that would start every time.

This was the first time Yang Fan had seen the Spirit Society. It really blew his mind. There were men and women inside, including students, men in their thirties, and even old ladies with white hair. It seems that this "spirit meeting" is indeed not simple!

On the podium stood an old man with a blank face. He stood there condescendingly, seemingly oblivious to the noisy people in the audience.

Suddenly, the lights went off. The noise and discussion around him instantly fell silent. Yang Fan was inexplicably a little excited in his heart. He looked at Gao Cheng beside him, but the latter looked at ease.

I saw that the old man waved his hand, and the curtain behind him slowly opened.

A man dressed in black appeared on stage. It's just that the lights are too dim to see clearly. He is the "Prophet", the initiator behind the entire "Spiritual Society", including the "Grim Reaper". Gao Cheng stared at the man in black on the stage, his expression was grim, and his heart suddenly became inexplicably nervous.

What follows is the usual style of the "Spiritual Society", first finding someone from the audience who needs help, and then asking the "prophet" to tell him the difficulties he is encountering and how to solve them. For this magical function of the "prophet", Gao Cheng understood the inside story after seeing it for the first time.

This is the easiest way, the person selected from the audience is the "prophet" who has found a nursery in advance, and through his performance, others are convinced of the "prophet's" ability.

In order to be able to thoroughly let people see the true face of the "Spirit Society" and the "Prophet", Gao Cheng designed Yang Fan to appear on the stage as a help-seeker in advance.

When the "prophet" was about to select the helpers from the audience, without waiting for others to react, Yang Fan stood up and walked to the stage. Faced with such a scene, both the "prophet" and the people in the audience were extremely surprised.

"Since the 'prophet' knows everything, why don't you let this brother be today's help-seeker!" Gao Cheng spoke, and his words quickly aroused the approval of others.

"So, I would like to ask the 'Prophet' what are my troubles?" Yang Fan turned his head and asked.

The Prophet was silent, as if he had been caught off guard by the sudden turn of events. All the people looked at the scene in front of them in a daze, they seemed to be waiting for the answer of the "prophet", and they seemed to be guessing what Yang Fan's troubles were?

"Since the Prophet doesn't know, I'd like to guess what the Prophet's troubles are?" Yang Fan spoke again.

The crowd below was in an uproar. They don't know what Yang Fan on stage is going to do? Yang Fan felt the "prophet's" body trembling slightly, although he couldn't see his expression clearly, he could feel his shock and doubt.

"You're about to show up." Yang Fan said with a smile, and then suddenly there was an extra gun in his left hand, and the muzzle of the gun was naturally pointed at the "prophet".

Ah, the crowd below screamed. They watched in a daze at what was happening in front of them, and some children even cried.

"Don't be afraid, we're the police. This 'Spiritual Society' is nothing but a deception of money, so please see what the painting of this so-called 'prophet' is today. Gao Cheng stood up and shouted loudly.

At the same time, the police guarding the outside rushed in and surrounded the entire venue.

Gao Cheng turned his head, his eyes were fixed on the "prophet" on the stage, his eyes were filled with a heavy gaze, and he heard his heart tremble violently. He wanted to find out the true face of the "prophet" himself.

The mask on the face of the man in black was removed, revealing an old face. This face Gao Cheng has seen and is very familiar with.

She is Xiao Min.

Everyone was stunned. No one expected that the all-powerful "prophet" turned out to be an old woman. Of course, the most surprising was Gao Cheng, he didn't expect that the master behind this conspiracy would be Xiao Min, who had been hiding in a mental hospital for forty years.

However, all the doubts seem to be incorrect.

Gao Cheng lost his direction all of a sudden.

In front of Xiao Min, there was a silver laptop. Yang Fan moved the keyboard, and a video file appeared on the computer.

Yang Fan double-clicked with his right hand, and the file began to play.

The picture is a little blurry, but you can still see that the outfit of the person inside is the costume of the Grim Reaper. He looked at the camera, his voice a little hoarse.

Gao Cheng, if you didn't see this video until after eight o'clock in the evening. You've disappointed me. Now, I'm going to tell you something. The Spiritual Society, I deliberately leaked the news to you. Of course, you won't be able to catch me. I've asked Xiao Min to be my stand-in. You don't have to ask her, and she won't tell you who I am.

As for the "Grim Reaper", he will disappear into this world like a spirit. However, before he disappears, he will do one last case. Of course, I'm a friendly adversary. I will tell you when the crime was committed, where it was committed, and who was responsible for the crime. This time, it won't be someone else's crime, it's the real Grim Reaper.

If you can catch him, the game is over. That's the end of it.

Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the evening, the location is the Meihe community where you have stayed once, and the candidate is Chen Ruogu, whom you have fallen in love with recently. Good luck, dear Officer Gao.

After the last sentence of the "Grim Reaper", the screen flashed, and the entire video file ended.

Gao Cheng took a deep breath, and he looked back at Xiao Min. Xiao Min still stared blankly ahead, as if nothing had happened.

It turned out that all this was another trap, and the so-called "spiritual meeting" was nothing more than a show given to him by the "prophet". If the "Grim Reaper" case is the main topic, the "Spirit Society" is nothing more than a small accessory for decoration.

The phone rang, Gao Cheng picked it up and saw that it was Chu Ling's call. Before leaving, Gao Cheng excitedly told Chu Ling that he was going to catch the "Grim Reaper" in person today, and all the truth would come out. Perhaps, some things about Chu Ling's father can be found out from the mouth of the "Grim Reaper". Now, Chu Ling must have come to ask the result.

After listening to Gao Cheng's narration, Chu Ling was stunned for a few seconds, and then said directly, "How is this possible?" ”

yes, how is that possible? What kind of ability does the "Grim Reaper" have that can make Xiao Min, who has been stranded in a mental hospital for more than 40 years, pretend to be himself. Could it really be the curse of King Lanling?

Beside him, Yang Fan and several police officers were interrogating Xiao Min. But Xiao Min didn't say a word from beginning to end, and there wasn't even a trace of expression on his face.

"Let her go!" Gao Cheng walked over and said to the policeman next to him.

"This, this isn't very good!" Yang Fan was stunned.

"Let it go, let it go. She's mentally ill, and we'll have to let her go back. Gao Cheng said a little irritably.

Yang Fan reluctantly removed the handcuffs from Xiao Min's hands. She slowly stood up and walked out the door. There was still not a trace of expression on his face.

When she walked to the door, she looked back at Gao Cheng and said, "Captain Gao, the answer you are looking for can only be found in Yuling Village." Otherwise, everything is in vain. It's a curse, a curse. ”

Xiao Min repeated the curse one last time, and then slammed into the wall next to him.

It all happened so fast. By the time Gao Cheng and the others reacted, Xiao Min had already sat down on the ground, and a stream of red blood flowed down her forehead.

The lights in the rescue room came on.

Gao Cheng's heart seemed to be emptied by something, falling little by little. He walked out onto the balcony, smoked a cigarette, and lit it. The words of the "prophet" in that video file kept coming to his mind, and the protagonist of his last case would be Chen Ruogu, the girl he had recently fallen in love with.

Do you really like Chen Ruogu? Gao Cheng asked himself softly.

Suddenly, the girl with soft eyebrows and a gentle smile appeared in front of him. In the hospital, she threw herself into her arms in trepidation, and that night, she grinded a cup of coffee for herself, and the faint aroma was more than just the taste of coffee. Also, a taste of happiness that I haven't experienced for a long time.

However, the last target of the "Grim Reaper" turned out to be her. No, no matter what, she can't be hurt in the slightest. Thinking of this, Gao Cheng clenched his fists hard.
