Surveillance room, Lin Chen's gaze was tightly fixed on the images captured by the monitors.

The chilling morgue, Anna's corpse was being bagged and brought in.

The medical staff left, and after a while, an old man entered the camera's view.

He looked around, and seeing no one else was around, this bastard actually opened the bag.

Upon seeing Anna inside, his eyes lit up, and he even moved Anna's body onto an empty bed.

Lin Chen frowned, this scum actually dared to violate a corpse.

However, a shocking scene suddenly occurred at this moment. Just as the old man was about to pounce on Anna, her eyes suddenly snapped open, and a horrifying scene unfolded the next instant.

Anna sat up abruptly, grabbing the old man's throat in one swift move.

"Impossible, this can't be possible!" Lin Chen's face suddenly changed color.

Just now Lin Chen had gone downstairs and already checked that Anna was clearly dead. But how could a corpse open its eyes, sit up, and even kill someone?

Qin Mengfan also helplessly shook her head, "Our coroner has also confirmed that Anna should be dead, but what's with this video? Could it be a case of resurrection?"

The entire surveillance room fell into silence; no one spoke, the scene was too eerie.

At that moment, a middle-aged policeman beside Mengfan suddenly snorted, "Hmph, obviously, this girl wasn't dead at all. Haven't they said there's a kind of drug that can make a person appear dead? She must have taken this drug, and then woken up after a while, killed the man watching the body and then escaped."

This analysis seemed very reasonable, but Lin Chen did not agree.

There are ghosts in the world, but Anna's behavior wasn't ghost-like. Thinking of the fight he just had with her, Anna showed no sense of pain. She was just like a robot, or more precisely, a killing machine.

How did Anna become like this? It must be related to the runes on her body.

Lin Chen's eyes brightened, and he said urgently, "Rewind the footage a bit more."

The image returned to the moment Anna awoke. Before awakening, a white light did indeed flash across Anna's body.

"It must be, it must be related to that rune." At that moment, Lin Chen was almost certain of his thought.

"Mengfan, I have something to deal with and need to leave for a bit. If you get any news about Anna, you must notify me immediately," Lin Chen said.

Qin Mengfan nodded, "Don't worry."

Lin Chen left the surveillance room and arrived at the ward. An Xiaodi was already awake, but her eyes were somewhat vacant.

"Lin Chen, I saw my sister just now, but why would she want to kill me? Did I do something wrong?" An Xiaodi's eyes brimmed with tears.

Sighing, Lin Chen patted An Xiaodi's shoulder, "Silly girl, don't think nonsense, it's not what you're imagining. Your sister loves you so much, how could she kill you? We've checked, the person used a Human Skin Mask, it was an Assassin who wanted to kill me, so he disguised himself as your sister."

"No, that was her, I can feel it. When she was strangling me, there were tears in her eyes," An Xiaodi shook her head vehemently.

"What did you say?" Lin Chen was shocked by An Xiaodi's words.

Lin Chen finally understood why An Xiaodi had been attacked by Anna but had not died; it turned out Anna was conscious.

At first, Lin Chen thought Anna was just a walking corpse, but now it seemed very likely that Anna's soul had been sealed. If that was the case, then there was still hope for Anna.

Although he didn't know why Anna, clearly dead, could suddenly come back to life, since Anna could shed tears for An Xiaodi, there was a chance to unlock Anna's sealed soul.

"Don't worry, Xiaodi, I will definitely rescue your sister," Lin Chen said earnestly.

"Really?" An Xiaodi asked, somewhat skeptical.

"Really," Lin Chen confirmed with a confident nod.

As long as Anna's spirit was still present, then with the help of the Human Energy System, Lin Chen would have a chance to restore Anna's consciousness.

While Lin Chen was chatting with An Xiaodi, he did not realize that his mobile phone had quietly powered off due to a lack of battery.

At the Capital City Public Security Bureau, the ringing of a telephone broke the silence, and Qin Mengfan answered the call.

"Hello, is this the Capital City Public Security Bureau? I know where the girl on your wanted notice is," said a middle-aged man's voice over the phone.

"What? You do? Tell me quickly," Qin Mengfan said, picking up a pen in excitement to take notes.

"That thing, about the fifty thousand reward mentioned in the wanted notice, is that right?" the person on the phone inquired.

"If we verify and catch the criminal, you'll receive the reward," Qin Mengfan responded.

"Alright, I'm a taxi driver. It was me who drove the girl. I took her to an abandoned villa in the west of the city. That girl was strange, speaking in a voice cold as ice," the driver recalled with lingering fear.

"You saw her go inside?" Qin Mengfan asked.

"I did, and after she went in, the lights inside turned on. At that moment, I thought the girl was so odd. Why would she enter a villa rumored to be haunted? Later, I happened to see your wanted notice on WeChat, so I didn't leave; I've been watching at the corner the whole time, and she hasn't come out," the taxi driver explained.

"Thank you for your cooperation. Please wait a moment, we're on our way. If your information is accurate, we will issue the reward," Qin Mengfan said excitedly before hanging up the phone.

After ending the call, Qin Mengfan was the first to dial Lin Chen's cell phone, only to hear the message that "The number you have dialed is powered off."

"Why does that bastard have to turn off his phone at a time like this," Qin Mengfan muttered, ending the call and leaving a text message for Lin Chen.

At that moment, Captain Li Dajun approached, "Did we get a lead on that female corpse case?"

Qin Mengfan nodded, "A driver said he took the girl to an abandoned villa in the west of the city."

"Really, that's great, let's move out immediately," Li Dajun said with excitement.

The upcoming competition for the Deputy Director position of the Public Security Bureau was nearing, and if he could crack this peculiar case, his promotion would be secured.

"Captain, this case is a bit strange. Maybe we should get in touch with the Supernatural Dragon Division," Qin Mengfan suggested hesitantly.

"Strange, my ass. It's just a simple trick to deceive people. Call Aniu and Dafei, let's go pull out that 'ghost girl,'" Li Dajun snorted disdainfully.

Feeling helpless, Qin Mengfan shook her head and silently prayed that Lin Chen would see her message and hurry over.

A few detectives got out of their vehicle in the west of the city and felt a chill in their hearts when they saw the lonely villa standing in the wilderness.

"Such a nice villa going to waste because it's uninhabited is such a pity," Dafei lamented as he glanced at the villa overgrown with weeds.

"This villa used to be home to a real estate tycoon, but one rainy night, a gang of bandits broke in and killed his entire family of five. Although the case was solved, no one has dared to live here since. It's said that on rainy nights, one can hear crying sounds coming from inside," Aniu, the one with glasses, said as he pushed up his spectacles.

"Boom!" A clap of thunder roared in the sky, and indeed, a drizzle began to fall.

"Damn it, I don't believe in ghosts. Today, we'll just storm this haunted house," Li Dajun declared with a cold huff and strode towards the villa.
