According to Qin Xingyan, the formation set up in the warehouse was probably some kind of energy channel to connect the antiques.
Due to the fact that the materials used to cast it and the conditions for casting it were very popular, this kind of formation was widely spread. There was no way to determine who set up the formation based on this fact alone.
However, Xu Shenxing could at least confirm one thing. Since the formation in the warehouse that was related to the alternate dimension did not have the ability to self-regulate, there must be a shady figure controlling everything in this villa.
After understanding this point, the next step was much simpler.
He just had to find out who the shady figure was and punch it out of the window.
Although (mainly due to the author's slow update speed) the situation seemed to be a mess at first glance and he did not know where to start, Xu Shenxing received a text message from Xiao Zhengyi about the preliminary investigation of the case. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that all of this was not that complicated.
After a little investigation, many people would know that Chiyuketsu's father was involved in the underground antique trade.
Then, if he followed this line of investigation, he would know that the car accident that Mr. and Mrs. Cao encountered was not a coincidence. There were certain traces of human intervention. Although the driver who caused the accident did not admit to it, Xiao Zhengyi still managed to find some clues through the side investigation.
If it was an ordinary person's train of thought, after investigating this point, they would more or less conclude that Mr. and Mrs. Cao had connections with criminals because of the underground antique trade. Then, for some reason, the criminals wanted to eliminate the insiders, so Mr. and Mrs. Cao were killed.
Even Xiao Zhengyi's text message came to this conclusion.
However, after considering the situation in the warehouse, Xu Shenxing did not agree with this conjecture.
The formation in the warehouse was obviously not set up by an outsider. It was most likely set up by Chiyuketsu's father himself.
To be able to come into contact with real supernatural forces, Chiyuketsu's father was probably not an ordinary person. However, such a person was killed just because of a car accident. No matter how he thought about it, something felt wrong.
What made Xu Shenxing even more suspicious was why there was only one coffin at the funeral when Mr. and Mrs. Yi had already passed away. At first, Xu Shenxing thought that it was just because his relatives were stingy, but now that he thought about it carefully, he was afraid that there was some secret behind it.
It was because of this that he returned to the hall and stared at the coffin that had yet to be buried.
"I've heard of an illusion that doesn't take effect by interfering with the five senses of others. Instead, it directly interferes with the person's judgment. Everyone who is affected by it will subconsciously think that the situation is normal no matter what they see."
Although it wasn't night yet, the heavy, opaque curtains were drawn over the windows, so the hall gave off a gloomy and terrifying feeling, not to mention the coffin placed in the middle of the hall.
"For example, they knew that they were attending two people's funerals, but there was only one corpse. In the end, they only used one coffin to consecrate it, but they didn't feel anything strange about it at all."
As he spoke, Xu Shenxing walked to the coffin and reached out to lift the coffin lid that was nailed to the ground.
"Other than that, no one else could easily know the patrol route of the security guards and make preparations to hide in advance except for the original owner of the castle, right?"
A rotten smell spread from the coffin and instantly filled the hall, but Xu Shenxing didn't seem to be affected. He looked at the coffin with a sneer.
Sure enough, there was only one highly decomposed corpse inside! Judging from the sexual characteristics, it should be the corpse of a woman.
"Do you still want to hide now? My stepfather, Cao Zhongzheng! "
As soon as Xu Shenxing's voice fell, a burst of applause came from the back of the hall.
"I didn't expect that there would be someone who found out that I'm not dead. Your mother will be happy to know."
"Although I didn't intend to acknowledge that woman as my mother, you still have the nerve to say that after killing her. I've never seen such a shameless person."
Xu Shenxing turned his head and stared in the direction of the voice.
Then, the other party gradually appeared in his field of vision.
The man was tall and skinny, wearing a very retro style suit. His skin, which was exposed outside the suit, looked incomparably pale. When he walked, he was a little wobbly. It was unknown whether he was born with it or if it was caused by his sloppiness.
The middle-aged handsome face that didn't lose to the little fresh meats had a somewhat hearty smile, which made people involuntarily have a good impression of him. With such a good appearance, it was no wonder that he could easily marry Xu Shenxing's father.
But now, Xu Shenxing frowned and looked at the other party for a moment, and then showed some surprise and disgust: "You guy … are you not even human …"
Originally, Xu Shenxing thought that Cao Zhongzheng, who was behind the scenes, was just faking his death and wanted to secretly control everything. But he didn't expect that the other party might have really died once, but now he returned to the world in a forbidden state.
"Because there are too many restrictions on humans, for the sake of eternal life and power that surpasses humans, I can only do this."
The other party didn't care at all about Xu Shenxing's disgust and said frankly.
"Before we fight, I still have some questions to ask you — —" Xu Shenxing suppressed the urge to punch the other party into pieces and asked coldly: "What are you running away from? For this, you didn't hesitate to fake your death, sacrificed that woman, and almost killed Chiyuketsu for this? "
"I don't have the obligation to tell you, young man." Cao Zhongzheng seemed to have been poked in his sore spot by Xu Shenxing. The leisurely expression on his face disappeared and was replaced by a gloomy and cold expression.
"Then how did you become like this?" After being rejected by the other party, Xu Shenxing continued to ask: "Your current appearance … should be an existence between a Vampire and a Lich, right?"
Undead.
That's right, the current Cao Zhongzheng had become an undead creature that was extremely rare on Earth, with almost eternal life and great power.
Vampires aside, in this era, ordinary people couldn't be reincarnated into a Lich, which required a lot of power — magic power, spiritual power, and so on. In the Age of Chaos, modern Earth generally couldn't provide so much.
"That's because I have a special source of magic power … Hmph, I've talked too much with you, it's about time to send you on your way."
The other party casually gave a perfunctory reply, and then a fierce glint appeared in his eyes: "If you found me a little earlier, maybe I wouldn't be a match for you who could escape from the illusion of the Tomb of the Three Kings before my power stabilized … But now, it's all too late!"
Xu Shenxing curled his lips and then looked at the time displayed on his phone.
"It's a little late … If I want to make it in time for lunch, I have to deal with you in about three minutes."
