Modern cultivation society didn't lack fortuitous encounters, and many cultivators could often use all kinds of fortuitous encounters to raise their realms in a short period of time, but this kind of increase wouldn't be too abnormal. Furthermore, it would often be a small increase. In the Cultivation Encyclopedia, this kind of small increase in realms over a short period of time had a special term: minor sublimation.
But Father Zheng's situation was clearly different. To achieve this kind of major leap in realms, it usually had to be related to banned drugs or forbidden spells.
"How can someone advance so quickly if they don't increase their realms? It's not like they're writing … "Gao Tian stared at the report and started to reexamine the matter in his heart. So far, Father Zheng hadn't harmed any of the hostages, but whether or not he had, hostage-taking had already become a crime.
It was like some criminals who held a knife to a person's neck, but actually didn't dare hurt them at all. Murder was a serious crime, and these criminals didn't dare take the risk lightly. Unless they had no other choice, a hostage-taker usually wouldn't choose to hurt a hostage, as that would be too extreme.
As for the police, in order to protect the hostages, they had to consider the criminal's needs as much as possible when rescuing them in order to lower their psychological defenses.
But there was one exception to these conditions, and that was a special regulation the cultivation police had for kidnapping cases.
"Is there a problem with an abnormal increase in realms?" Little Silver asked suspiciously.
Actually, he didn't really understand this situation … After all, he had seen for himself how heaven-defying his Master Wang Ling was. At the beginning, Master Wang Ling's realm would increase by one level every two years, but this rate of increase was now accelerating, and the intervals between realms were getting shorter and shorter.
It was precisely because of this that Little Silver was well aware that his Master was looking for a way to perfectly control his strength. Of course, Wang Ling's situation was actually a little different from Father Zheng's. Wang Ling was born with it, while Gao Tian had already determined that Father Zheng might have cultivated some kind of forbidden spell or taken some banned drug.
"It's over." Gao Tian broke out in a cold sweat as he stared at the report. "If this goes on, there's a very high chance that Father Zheng will be directly shot dead by the special regulation."
"Is it illegal to increase one's realm too quickly?" Loopy Toad asked.
"It's not illegal to grow fast, but if you grow fast and take hostages, it's dangerous to make such risky moves." Gao Tian's expression gradually turned solemn as he explained to Little Silver and Loopy Toad, "If there's an abnormal growth rate, there's a ninety-five percent chance that it's because of forbidden drugs or forbidden spells. The reason why Forbidden Drugs and Forbidden Techniques are included in the list of Forbidden Drugs is because cultivators will cause great harm to their bodies and even their minds after cultivating. Deliberately cultivating Forbidden Techniques and causing harm to others is 100% criminal responsibility. "
"In our world, even the mentally ill will be punished for their crimes! Also, if a mentally ill person breaks the law, his or her family will also be implicated. If his or her family fails to properly supervise him or her, they will also be prosecuted. "
Gao Tian explained the current situation.
All in all, the current situation was not optimistic. Whether it was taking forbidden drugs or cultivating forbidden techniques, no one could guarantee that a cultivator's mental state could be stabilized after trying these two actions. What Gao Tian was most worried about now was that the higher-ups would notice the abnormal growth in realms in the data, and directly direct combat operations to forcefully attack and kill Father Zheng … When that happened, the situation would definitely become chaotic, and the truth of the case from three years ago might be drowned out in the chaos once more, until it was finally left unsettled.
Whether it was the hostages being injured or Father Zheng being prevented from revealing the truth, Gao Tian didn't want to see either.
Elsewhere, in the cultivation police headquarters office, Chief Zhao slapped the table. "Tell me! What on earth is going on now? Why hasn't the Immortal Arts Mobile Squad made a move yet? What the hell are they doing?! The murderer who's taking hostages is advancing at an abnormal rate, which clearly shows that there's a problem! If the hostages are harmed because of a forbidden spell or forbidden drug, who can bear the responsibility?! "
On the side, the police assistant wiped his sweat and comforted him. "Chief, don't be angry … Most netizens are now focusing their attention on the case from three years ago again, because the suspect Zheng Tianqiang hasn't harmed the hostages yet. If we make a move now, it might cause public outrage."
"I'm sorry for my bad attitude, I apologize first. But the higher-ups are also putting a lot of pressure on us for this case. I hope we can solve it as soon as possible. "Chief Zhao rubbed his brow and took a deep breath." Who's in charge of this case? "
"It's Superintendent Gao Tian, who was recently promoted. Chief Zhao, you even signed off on it before …"
"Oh, it's him. I remember. " Chief Zhao nodded. "Comrade Gao Tian has always performed well. If he's in command at the scene, I might be a little more at ease."
"There shouldn't be any problems. Furthermore, Team Leader Little Silver from the Office of Strategic Deception is also at the scene. Team Leader Little Silver's realm is profound, and his assistance is double insurance."
"The Office of Strategic Deception's team leader is also there? That's pretty stable. " Hearing this, Chief Zhao instantly heaved a sigh of relief. He unhurriedly picked up the cup in front of him, blew on it a few times, and then took a big sip of tea.
"Oh, by the way, Chief Zhao, I just received news that Director Odd Zhuo is on his way."
"Pu …" Chief Zhao spat out a mouthful of tea at the assistant in front of him. "What's he doing here?"
"I heard he's passing through the area. Director Zhuo is also the team leader of the Office of Strategic Deception's supervisory team. With two team leaders here, it should be triple insurance! "
Chief Zhao: "…" Triple insurance my * ss!
"Chief Zhao … you don't look too good. Do you have a problem with Director Zhuo?" After saying this, the assistant realized that he had said something inappropriate, and hurriedly covered his mouth.
Chief Zhao glanced at the little assistant in front of him. "Let me ask you, who arrested the Old Devil a few months ago?"
"Director Zhuo …"
"What about the Immortal Mansion case?"
"Director Zhuo …"
"What about the Evil Sword God case?"
"Or Director Zhuo …"
"Ah Zhen, I've been in this position for quite a few years. I'm just short of a big commendation, and I might be able to move up again. This Odd Zhuo isn't from our police station, but in the end, he gets all the credit every time. I … "Chief Zhao touched his heart, feeling very aggrieved.
"Then Chief Zhao means …"
"Inform the Immortal Arts Mobile Squad to send a tenth of our men to keep an eye on Odd Zhuo. Remember, after he's finished watching the scene, urge him to leave as soon as possible … "
"Alright, Chief Zhao …"
