After having dinner at Xu's house, and being forced by Xu Jiaorong to pour a big bowl of soup and medicine, Li Gongfu returned to his home with a stomach full of bitter water and a heart full of sweetness. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

His predecessor was a very diligent and self-disciplined person, no matter how busy he was with official duties on weekdays, he had to practice the family martial arts after returning home. But as soon as he arrived at home today, he felt a wave of extreme fatigue from his body, and his mind began to be confused almost as soon as he entered the door, and he instinctively touched the bed, and fell asleep.

In a trance, Li Gongfu found himself in a strange space with a blood-red color in all directions, and in the very center of this space, there stood a huge black octagonal tower as high as 10,000 feet.

As soon as he had the idea of going closer to take a closer look at the giant tower, he realized that he was already under the giant tower, and in front of him was a portal more than 100 zhang high and dozens of zhang wide. Above the confined tower gate, an equally huge plaque is hung, on which there are two characters with intricate and twisted strokes, revealing the meaning of endless ancient vicissitudes.

"Hell. Although he obviously didn't recognize these two words, when Li Gongfu saw them, he naturally recognized them in his mind, without the slightest jerky stagnation.

And when he saw these two words, Li Gongfu suddenly remembered the origin of this tower. In his previous life, he was a criminal police officer in the criminal police team of a certain city, and the last case he participated in was to hunt down a transnational cultural relics smuggling syndicate. At that time, the police engaged in a fierce shootout with the criminals, and he was very unlucky to be hit in the heart by a stray bullet, and fell in a pile of antique artifacts, and the last impression left in his brain was a small black tower close at hand and half stained red by his heart's blood. Perhaps the moment before death was the most profound memory, he clearly remembered that there was also a door at the bottom of the small tower that was only one and a half feet high, and there was also a plaque on the door, and there were two words on the plaque, which was the "Heavenly Hell" that he saw and inexplicably recognized at this moment!

"What are you? Did you bring me into this world?" Li Gongfu muttered to himself, subconsciously raising his right hand and pressing it on the tower door. As soon as the palm of his hand touched the tower gate, the internal force accumulated in his body from his childhood penance poured out like a flood that opened the floodgates.

"Ding Dong!"

A crisp sound sounded out of thin air in Li Gongfu's head, followed by a dull voice without emotion and without distinguishing between men and women:

"The Blood Sacrifice has been confirmed as the 1,103rd Catcher of the 'Heavenly Prison'. ”

Li Gongfu was startled and withdrew his hand, looked into the sky and asked, "Who are you?"

There was no one around, and the voice was no longer heard.

After a while, Li Gongfu, who was looking around, refocused his gaze on the giant tower in front of him, and said as if asking and muttering to himself: "Is that you?"

As he spoke, he put his hand back on the tower door. Sure enough, the moment his palm touched the tower gate, as his internal force poured outward again, the voice also sounded in his head again: "The energy of the 'Heavenly Hell' is depleted, and it is impossible to transmit exclusive exercises and initial equipment to the catcher, please replenish the energy of the 'Heavenly Hell' as soon as possible." ”

Li Gongfu clearly felt that the speed of his internal force was frighteningly fast. Although his family's internal strength is not considered a martial arts mastery, but after more than ten years of hard cultivation, his internal strength has accumulated quite deeply, but just after listening to these few words, his internal strength has actually bottomed out, and he only had time to subconsciously ask: "How to replenish energy?" Before he heard the answer, he felt that the giant tower in front of him and the entire blood-colored space around his body had all disappeared. When he looked again, he found that he was still lying on his bed, and the dawn had already appeared outside.

"Is it a dream?" Li Gongfu was a little in a trance, but then he realized that his internal strength was indeed exhausted, and he was sure that the existence of the blood-colored space and the black giant tower was not illusory.

"Heavenly Hell, Catcher ......" repeated these two words silently several times, Li Gongfu shook his head self-deprecatingly, and muttered to himself, "I was a policeman in my previous life, and I was a catcher in this life, but now I have become the 'catcher' of that 'Heavenly Prison'." Am I destined to eat this bowl of rice for thieves and thieves?"

After feeling a sigh, he sat cross-legged on the bed, carrying his inner breath according to the family tradition, and recovering the true qi that was instantly exhausted by the mysterious giant tower. His family's hand-me-down method belongs to the Taoist lineage, and his nature is peaceful, continuous and mellow, although the power is not satisfactory, but the stamina is long and the recovery is extremely fast. He only breathed for more than half an hour, and his strength had returned to his peak state. Even because he was too clean by the giant tower before, he invisibly developed some hidden places in his meridian acupoints. Now that the true qi has been restored, it naturally flows into these places that were previously unreachable, and the cultivation has been slightly improved without realizing it.

After finishing the work, Li Gongfu felt that he was full of energy, so he got up and went to the courtyard to practice a few fists and knife techniques that were also family traditions. After practicing, he washed up, and was about to go to the opposite door to have breakfast as usual, when he suddenly heard an earth-shattering sound of slamming the door.

Accompanied by the sound of slamming the door, it was his two followers Zhang Quan and Li Wan who shouted in panic: "Li Tou, something happened!"

Li Gongfu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly came out to open the door, and after seeing the two subordinates, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Quan said anxiously: "Li Tou, more than ten girls disappeared mysteriously last night, and their parents came to report the case this morning, and the grandfather will send you a quick reply!"

Li Gongfu frowned and said, "What do you mean by 'mysterious disappearance'?"

Li Wan lowered his voice with a look of fear: "According to those bitter masters, their daughters were swept away by a strange wind......

"Is there such a thing?" Li Gongfu suddenly shuddered in his heart, but he did not doubt the truth of the other party's words, after all, he clearly knew that this was a world where immortals, Buddhas and demons existed.

But no matter whether the kidnapping girl is a monster or a monster, as the head of the third shift in charge of catching thieves and thieves in this county, since there is such a big case, there is no reason for him not to be there. He immediately turned back to get dressed and hung a wind-throwing knife around his waist. When he came out, he saw Xu Jiaorong standing at the door holding an oiled paper bag.

"Jiaorong, there is something in the yamen today, I ......"

Li Gongfu didn't want her to worry about herself, and was about to make up a lie to get past, but Xu Jiaorong said: "I have heard what you said just now, you should be more careful." I got up early to steam a steamed bun, and you took a few to eat on the way for breakfast. ”

Li Gongfu's heart was warm, he took the still hot bun, said "Wait for me to come back", and left in a hurry with two of his subordinates.

After eating a few buns with thin skin and large filling and full of weight on the way, Li Gongfu and the three of them arrived at the county government office of Qiantang County. As soon as I arrived at the gate, I heard a cry of pain.

He stepped over the high threshold and entered the hall, only to see sixty or seventy men, women, and children crowded into the hall, bowing upwards and shouting "Please master the master", while crying bitterly. Lord Yang, the county magistrate of the county, who was sitting in the lobby, had a bitter face and looked helpless.

Li Gongfu knew that this county magistrate was an expert in collecting money and goods, but he was incapable of managing and judging cases, and it was really difficult for him to put such a difficult case in front of him, so he immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Subordinate Li Gongfu, I have seen adults!"

There was a hint of truth in his words, and he suppressed all the hustle and bustle in the hall.

Seeing that his right-hand man had arrived, Yang Xingzhi was overjoyed, and said busily: "Gongfu, you came just in time, no need to be polite." What do you think is going to do about this?"

Before Li Gongfu could answer, a clear voice suddenly came from outside the door: "You can handle this matter, or leave it to us!"
