Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1265 - 376: [The Onset of Shocking Change]

Chapter 376 [The Surprise Incident Begins]

Wang Tie is a security guard.

He works at Binjiang Century Garden residential area. His usual duties focus primarily on standing guard at the main gate, saluting when homeowners’ vehicles pass by, and asking questions and registering when external vehicles enter.

He has worked in this neighborhood for eight years.

In the evening, Wang Tie was sitting in the guard booth at the eastern main gate of the residential area. He saw a black sedan drive up and stop at the residential gate, and then several people got out of the car.

A pair of middle-aged man and woman, a young girl, and a younger boy.

They looked like a typical family of four.

Wang Tie took a quick glance at these four people and generally recognized them as residents.

Specifically, the young girl had a very attractive appearance and was quite distinctive.

Wang Tie, having worked as a security guard here for eight years, was familiar with many of the homeowners in the neighborhood, and even those he didn’t know were familiar faces to him.

He roughly remembered that this young girl should be living in Building Six.

He had interacted with her before, but it was only limited to, "Hello, I’ve lost my access card. Can you help me open the door?"

That sort of thing.

This girl seemed to be the shy and quiet type, not speaking much, and when she did, her voice was soft.

It’s just... her memory wasn’t too good, as she often lost things.

Wang Tie remembered that he had helped this girl open the door many times—she regularly lost her access card.

He often saw this girl bringing purchased items back to the neighborhood, then the plastic bag would break, scattering things all over the ground.

Hmm... Perhaps a bit clumsy?

But he hadn’t seen her much in the past year, perhaps she had already moved out.

Wang Tie is a man, and men, as it happens, have an eye for beauty and can’t help but take a few more looks at pretty girls.

Especially one as beautiful as her!

·

Wang Tie remembered hearing that the male owner came from Port City, and the female owner should be local.

He didn’t know much else.

However, those who live in this neighborhood are wealthy—at least upper middle class, which in Wang Tie’s view, they can all be counted as rich.

But seeing this family of four tonight, they seemed somewhat... odd!

The middle-aged couple appeared very silent, quiet, not speaking, heads lowered, with their eyes not making contact with anyone.

Watching them left a sort of feeling—wooden, stiff.

How to say it, lost in thought.

When they reached the entrance of the residential area, they just stood still in front of the automatic gate without moving.

Wang Tie immediately came over, glanced at the four, "Forgot your access cards?"

He said, as he pulled out his work access card and swiped it.

The gate opened.

The four walked in, the middle-aged couple and the young boy didn’t look at Wang Tie.

However, the young girl, as she passed by, lifted her head, her gaze sweeping across Wang Tie.

That look...

Made Wang Tie’s heart suddenly skip a beat.

Just very... indifferent!

This young girl used to be quiet, shy without speaking, and when she occasionally talked, it was a soft manner.

But the way she looked today seemed...

Wang Tie felt as if a block of ice had been stuffed into the back of his collar.

He shivered.

But without waiting for him to come to his senses, the family was already inside.

A few seconds later, Wang Tie returned to his senses, the people had already moved on out of sight.

Perhaps they had a family argument? Why did they look so awkward?

The neighborhood’s resident group was also a gossip group. The sports square in the community had fitness equipment, and sometimes one might see some idle housewives or old people resting there.

Thus, some gossip would spread over there.

Wang Tie knew that this family of four was somewhat peculiar.

It was said that the male owner was from Port City and seemed to have an affair. He had arguments with the female owner many times, a few times right in the residential area, overheard by others.

It was just a hint of doubt, but Wang Tie quickly let it scatter from his mind.

It’s night-time, the weather’s chilly, staying in the guard booth and scrolling through his phone was better than anything.

·

At night, Wang Tie went out to patrol.

Tonight was his shift.

Night patrol was a tough job, winter hadn’t ended yet, and late at night he had to patrol around the neighborhood, particularly in the underground parking garage, around the ground area, and check the elevators in several residential buildings.

Tonight Wang Tie was paired with Old Zhao for night duties, starting at eleven. Two of them took flashlights and began patrolling from the eastern gate of the residential area, starting to the right, entering the basement for inspection first, checking various nooks and crannies, along with firefighting equipment, circuits, and electrical control boxes...

At eleven-thirty, the two came up to the ground level, just in time to pass Building Six.

Old Zhao, who was two years older than Wang Tie, typically liked to slack off a bit, and as they reached here, he simply pulled Wang Tie to a sheltered spot below Building Six.

"Let’s have a cigarette break."

Wang Tie didn’t refuse; he took out a pack of Baisha cigarettes from his pocket and handed Old Zhao one.

Old Zhao glanced at it, "Have your wife been strict with you lately? Why are you smoking such cheap cigarettes?"

Wang Tie chuckled, "After the new year, my child’s school needs to pay for food expenses. To let the child eat better, I have to lower my standards."

Old Zhao sighed, "Things are tough for everyone these days."

Though he said it like this, he still accepted the cigarette and lit it up—this guy particularly likes taking advantage of little things, especially smoking others’ cigarettes.

It’s just a cigarette, Wang Tie didn’t mind it.

The two of them hid in the dark, smoking, amidst the darkness, the embers of their two cigarette buts flickering.

They chatted quietly, mentioning the new cashier in the property office with a large behind, seemed to have a dubious relationship with the property manager...

At this moment, suddenly, in the darkness, a "bang" was heard!

The sound wasn’t faint, especially in the night, dropping abruptly into the ears amidst a silent environment.

The sound made Wang Tie jump in shock!

As if... something had fallen hard to the ground?

After a brief pause, he exchanged glances with Old Zhao, both of their expressions changed simultaneously, throwing away their cigarette butts and stepping out from the corner, shining their flashlights around, searching.

Soon...

Bang!!

Another sound!!

Wang Tie heard Old Zhao, who stood behind him, suddenly let out a howl.

Turning back, he saw that Old Zhao was already sitting on the ground, his flashlight cast aside, frantically scooting back with hands and feet, staring anxiously ahead.

"Jump, someone jumped!! Someone jumped off the building!!!"

Wang Tie’s heart pounded wildly, he shakily aimed his flashlight in that direction, then, he saw it!!

On the ground beneath the sixth building, amidst the greenery...

Vaguely visible, someone was lying there!

But...

It seemed... shattered?!

The broken body lay on the ground in a bizarre position, twisted. Beneath it, a large pool of blood flowed!

With a thud, Wang Tie also sat on the ground; a few seconds later, he let out a horrified scream.

Wang Tie felt all the air in his chest was being forced out with the scream.

He breathed frantically, shakily pulling out his walkie-talkie, but his fingers trembled, preventing him from pressing the button.

Then, he saw the entrance door of the sixth building open, and someone walked out.

That... beautiful young girl!

The light from the lobby fell on her as she walked out of the brightness and into the darkness.

She wasn’t alone, holding that little boy by the hand.

After the two of them emerged, they quietly walked past Wang Tie, their gaze cold, eyes straight ahead.

As if the two frightened security guards sitting on the ground, along with the two shattered bodies on the ground, hadn’t caught her eye at all.

Wang Tie just watched with wide eyes as the young girl pulled the little boy, calmly walking away, heading towards the community gate.

"...Hey!"

Wang Tie didn’t know what he was thinking, couldn’t help but shout.

He shouted loudly, the girl should have heard.

But she didn’t react, didn’t look back, nor did her steps slow down, just kept holding the boy’s hand, walking towards the community gate, turning a corner, disappearing.

·

Half an hour later, the sharp sound of sirens pierced the night, the alternating blue and red police lights flashing.

A slightly composed Wang Tie and Old Zhao sat next to the property office in the community, both shivering. There were already police asking them questions.

Through the window from where Wang Tie was, he could see outside, where the faraway greenery had been cordoned off, with forensic scientists in white coats busying about.

When questioned by the police, Wang Tie answered truthfully, yet his mind couldn’t help but recall that scene.

The young beautiful girl, holding the little boy’s hand, the two of them walking out from the light into the dark, without looking back...

·

When Chen Yan awoke, he found himself lying in his own bed at home.

This was the master bedroom in a large flat.

As he sat up from the bed, he felt a hollow emptiness inside.

Jerking upright, Chen Yan came to his senses.

How did he get back?

How did he come back?

After losing consciousness in the underwater cave mansion...

Right! It was the God-Hosting Chapter!

That Saintess Ghost, used the God-Hosting Chapter on him!!

Then, when he woke up, he had returned to his own master bedroom?

Right! Lu Sisi!!

Chen Yan jumped up from the bed, walked a circle around the room, and after shouting twice, confirmed Lu Sisi wasn’t at home.

The sky outside was still dark, he glanced at his phone, it was already early morning.

Chen Yan quickly dialed Lu Sisi’s number, but without success, no answer.

Dialing again, still no answer.

Chen Yan’s heart grew restless, increasingly uneasy!

That Saintess Ghost seemed to have "awakened" or "resurrected" in some manner, not only freed from the villa’s idle state but also able to use spells on him?!

Once she broke free, then Lu Sisi...

Chen Yan took a deep breath, trying to calm down and think things through.

But soon, the phone in his hand rang.

It was a call from Lu Sisi!

Chen Yan immediately answered, he barely said "Sisi!"

On the other end was a serious male voice.

"Hello, this is the XX District Police Precinct! What’s your relationship with the owner of this phone?"

Chen Yan was stunned.

He took a deep breath, "I’m... the owner’s boyfriend, where is she?"

Two minutes later, holding the phone, Chen Yan’s expression reached its limit of unpleasantness, not waiting for the police on the other end to say anything, Chen Yan sighed, "Don’t say it, I’ll come over right now."

"Alright, thank you for your cooperation."
