Through the analysis of the entire case, Gao Cheng believes that what Chu Ling said is right. The case of the "Grim Reaper" has its own common denominator, that is, every victim, her birthday is June 6th.

At first, Gao Cheng had doubts about this, but he was interrupted by his wife's death. It can now be confirmed that the targets of the "Grim Reaper" are all women born on June 6. Is this a ritual, or is it a curse of the Lanling King's mask, as Chu Ling said?

Although Cheng Zihao has already admitted in his diary that he killed Bai Ling. However, he is not really a "grim reaper". Death, but it's just the beginning.

Gao Cheng wrote a report on Cheng Zihao's affairs and handed it over. In addition, he went to the city to consult several psychologists. Experts believe that Cheng Zihao was hypnotized by the "prophet" and obeyed the "prophet's" dispatch to kill people. is because, in Cheng Zihao's subconscious, he is a criminal himself. This can be seen from Cheng Zihao's diary. He wondered if he should have listened to the "prophet" at all.

The human subconscious mind is far more expansive than normal thinking. These explanations can be illustrated by the hanging trapeze performed by some magicians. When the human subconscious mind is dominated, human beings can do some impossible actions.

From this point of view, Cheng Zihao's murder was not just because he was hypnotized by the "prophet". His heart was already dark. These glooms should have been hidden in his heart since he killed his stepmother. Because of these dark conditions, the "prophet" will have an opportunity.

Considering all the conditions, Gao Cheng came to a conclusion. The "Grim Reaper" should kill people indirectly by some means, such as hypnosis. And, what is certain is that the real mastermind behind the scenes is the mysterious man with the screen name "Prophet". "Grim Reaper" is nothing more than a code name.

Although it has been established that the "prophet" is behind the whole thing, the Internet is like a vast sea, where to find the trace of the "prophet". Gao Cheng asked the IT department to set up monitoring and tracking through various channels on the Internet, but so far nothing has been found.

Just when Gao Cheng was worried, the police station received a bizarre homicide case. The informant is the owner of a residential building in Nancheng, named Ma Ling. A month ago, she rented her house to a young man. Originally, her house was rented once every six months, but the young man said that he wanted to live for a month first, and then pay half a year's rent. Ma Ling didn't look like a bad guy either, so she agreed.

A month has passed. Ma Ling called the young man, but couldn't get through. So, she opened her door with the spare key. As soon as she entered, she smelled a rotting stench. At first she thought something was broken. When she walked into the bedroom, she saw a man lying on the bed, as if he had been dead for a long time. Only then did she realize that the stench was coming from the man. Ma Ling was so frightened that she ran out of the house and called the police with the help of her neighbors.

Police quickly arrived at the scene.

According to the investigation, the deceased was a woman, about twenty-three years old, and the time of death was about five days ago. Gao Cheng also investigated the young man who rented the house, and there were no other clues except for a Shenzhou line number in Ma Ling's hand.

Two days later, the police station's media notice of the body identification worked, and an elderly man came to the police station to identify the body. The identity of the deceased was quickly confirmed, and her name was Zhou Jiajia, and she was the granddaughter of the old man.

Zhou Jiajia was a bar waiter before his death, and his usual schedule was relatively disordered. But Zhou Jiajia is very filial and usually goes home once a week to watch. This time, he didn't come back for almost eight days, so the old man went to the bar where his granddaughter was to inquire, and found out that Zhou Jiajia hadn't gone to work for five days.

After questioning the old man, Gao Cheng knew that Zhou Jiajia had a boyfriend named Xie Qiang before his death, who worked in an Internet company. Soon, Gao Cheng found Xie Qiang's information, and after Ma Ling's identification, he was the young man who rented the house.

After identifying the suspect, Gao Cheng led people to squat at the location where Xie Qiang might be haunted for three days and two nights, and finally arrested Xie Qiang in an Internet café near his home.

Xie Qiang confessed to killing Zhou Jiajia.

Xie Qiang and Zhou Jiajia met by chance. At that time, Zhou Jiajia's bag was snatched by several hooligans, and she was panting in high heels and chasing after her. It happened that Xie Qiang was passing by on a motorcycle, so he chased her with her. In the end, Zhou Jiajia's bag was snatched back, and Xie Qiang also hung up the lottery. So, Zhou Jiajia took Xie Qiang to his residence to help him bandage his wounds.

Later, the two fell in love after a while. Xie Qiang didn't mind Zhou Jiajia's career, he felt that as long as Zhou Jiajia was happy, he would support him no matter what he did. With the nourishment of love, Xie Qiang's work is getting better and better. He was even quickly promoted to supervisor by his manager.

According to his plan, he can buy a house of his own in Nancheng in two years, and when the time comes, he and Zhou Jiajia can get married.

However, what he didn't expect was that one day Zhou Jiajia proposed to break up with her.

Xie Qiang asked the reason, but Zhou Jiajia didn't say anything.

He couldn't have imagined why this was the case. After falling out of love, Xie Qiang was immersed in grief all day long. He soaks in the Internet café every day, reads some sad texts, and listens to some sad love songs.

By chance, he added a QQ group called "Linghui", and he was surprised to find that the people in the group all had the same sad memories as him. Every night, the "Spirit Society" group will heal a group member, of course, this kind of healing is not a positive persuasion, but let him heal his wounds.

As if bewitched by something, the members of the group who were being healed said something crazy. In this way, under the influence of the "Spirit Society" group, Xie Qiang's love for Zhou Jiajia turned into hate. Just like the leader of the group "Prophet" said, all hatred is because of love, and it can only be eternal when it disappears.

Finally, under the "healing" of a group of friends, Xie Qiang's anger towards Zhou Jiajia was like being poured with gasoline and burning wildly. Xie Qiang deliberately rented a house, and originally he was going to broadcast the whole story of killing Zhou Jiajia to the people in the "Spirit Society" group, but the group leader "Prophet" denied his approach, which would affect the entire "Spirit Society".

So, Xie Qiang killed Zhou Jiajia in the rental house.

Seeing Xie Qiang's confession, Gao Cheng couldn't help but tighten his heart. "Prophet" again? When the case was closed, Gao Cheng suddenly thought of a question, could the "Grim Reaper" and the "Spirit Society" be both means of "prophets"?

Thinking of this, Gao Cheng looked for Zhou Jiajia's information, and sure enough, Zhou Jiajia's information showed that she was also born on June 6.

Originally, the case of the "Grim Reaper" was in trouble, but the appearance of the "Spirit Society" made the case have a new development. Gao Cheng can be sure that the initiator behind the "Grim Reaper" and the "Spirit Society" is the "Prophet". However, why did the "Prophet" kill women born on the 6th of June?

Gao Cheng specially consulted some leaders in the bureau who were very experts on this issue. Opinions are divided into two kinds, one is that the "prophet" may have hatred for women on June 6th birthdays, for example, he has been hurt by women on June 6th birthdays, just like some psychopathic killers in the past, and transferred his hatred to the whole society.

The second possibility is that the "prophet" was performing some kind of ceremony. June 6 is known in the West as the day of the resurrection of the devil. From the "Prophet's" use of the "Grim Reaper" to the later "Spiritual Society", including his hypnotic methods, he is supposed to be a highly educated, highly intelligent criminal.

Gao Cheng felt that there should be a third possibility, that is, what Professor Chu Ling said, which was the curse of the mask of King Lanling. Perhaps, this point can cover the previous two possibilities. But he didn't say it.

In order to determine the motive of the "prophet" as soon as possible, Gao Cheng joined the "Spirit Club" QQ group according to the information provided by Xie Qiang. After a week of hard work, he finally knew that the "Spirit Society" was going to hold a meeting.

Gao Cheng also went to participate. In the "Spiritual Society", the "Prophet" is always hidden behind a veil, and no one is visible at all. This made Gao Cheng very depressed. He could not be sure that the man hiding behind the veil was the "prophet" he was looking for.

In fact, the so-called meeting is like a pyramid scheme, which makes the evil in people's hearts boil through some incitement and instigation. If it weren't for the fear of startling the snake, Gao Cheng would have wanted to detain a few people who organized the Spirit Society on the spot.

After the meeting ended, he came to see the president at a high cost, but was kicked out.

After listening to Gao Cheng's story, Yang Fan also told him what happened to him. In Yang Fan's heart, Gao Cheng is the only person who can help him.

"Don't worry. You're my brother, I'm going to protect you, it's still okay. Gao Cheng's words reassured Yang Fan's heart.

It was already dark on the street. Although Gao Cheng didn't sleep all night, he didn't feel sleepy at all. He and Yang Fan discussed a way to break the spirit meeting in the car.

Ming'an Institute of Spiritual Research, late at night.

Xiao Min sat on the windowsill, like a clay statue, motionless. Lately, her mood has been getting worse and worse. The curse of forty years ago finally came. Although she had already prepared, she was still faintly afraid.

Time is really untouchable. Forty years have passed in a flash. Xiao Min has also changed from a young girl to an old man with twilight hair.

Outside the window, the night is dark. Xiao Min remembered the past, remembered his youth and childhood, remembered Professor Chu, and Xiaobao, who loved him deeply. Those deep and shallow memories floated in front of me like clouds. Xiao Min's tears flowed down and fell on the sheets one by one.

Bang! Bang. There was a knock on the door, and the nurse and a man walked in.

"Xiao Min, someone has come to see you." With that, the nurse closed the door and walked out.

Xiao Min didn't move. To the outside world, she was already dead.

"Miss Xiao, are you okay?" A deep male voice came from behind. Xiao Min's body shook and slowly turned his head. The man smiled and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Is that you?" Xiao Min screamed, his voice poignant and sharp. The man smiled slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Xiao Min quieted down. She reverted to her previous apathy, she didn't know what the person in front of her was going to do, but she knew it was definitely not a good thing. But all is to no avail, is it?

The man didn't say anything more. He just patted Xiao Min on the shoulder. Then he left.

The man left a black bag. Xiao Min was the only one left in the empty room. The clock on the wall went round and round.

It's dark.

Xiao Min pushed open the window, and in the deep night, there seemed to be countless secrets hidden. They lurk in the darkness, spying on every guilty person. Finally, Xiao Min picked up the black bag next to him. Unzip it and inside is a silver laptop. There is also a black cape.

She looked up, stared into the distance, and put on her cloak. Picking up the computer on the desk, he staggered out the door.

The night came with paleness and fear.
