God-Like Extraction

Chapter 98 – Problematic

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In order to guard against the appearances of Corpse Puppets that would result in disasters, every country on Earth Star had a 99% mature supervision system.

Under this system, the governments were supervising, the martial artists were supervising, and the people were supervising.

This was especially true for the lower-class citizens. They had the biggest numbers and were the most threatened. They were also the most active in their actions.

Not everyone who wanted to take revenge on society could successfully become a Corpse Puppet by hiding and committing s*icide.

Ke Wenji’s situation was an exception.

Because this woman had cut off all ties with her family for Shi Yanyi’s sake before she sobered up.

Her colleagues in Cloud Sea Mall also looked down on her.

Coincidences and luck both played a part in Ke Wenji’s success.

Unlike Mei Jinju, it was Zhou Hongsong who had deliberately guided her.

Human society never lacked conspirators and ambitious people.

This is why the supervision system was not 100% mature.

In addition…

Unlike Earth, on Planet Earth, every time a Corpse Puppet caused casualties in the city, the officials would publicize the process to alert and warn the public.

The same went for this tragedy that Ke Wenji had caused.

After Li Linzhou and his subordinates made a fruitless visit to the Shi Family, the case was reported on television, the web, radio, and newspapers that night.

The Shi Family held a press conference to explain that they were also looking for Shi Yanyi. Once they find him, they would execute him publicly.

However, there was barely any effect. Few people believed them.

Overwhelming rebukes rained onto the Shi Family overnight.

The Shi Family’s businesses were being widely boycotted.

Some of their shops were even wrecked and struck by feces by the relatives of the deceased who died in this incident.

The Shi Family’s reputation fell to rock bottom at once.

Apart from insisting that they did not know anything and cooperating with the officials to find Shi Yanyi, the Shi Family did not do anything else.

Their shops were destroyed, their tires slashed, and their entrance was splashed with feces…

They did not pursue all these matters.

This attitude made many people believe that they really didn’t know anything. The public opinion started to slowly calm down and the heat eased.

Of course, people were still cursing, especially in the crematorium, which never stopped.

But soon, an accident caused everyone in the crematorium to shift their attention.

Gu Bo’s five-year-old daughter had gone missing!

As a long-time employee of the crematorium, Gu Bo knew every employee in the crematorium. He was close to everyone.

His five-year-old daughter, Gu Duoduo, had also attended some private gatherings with Gu Bo and had met many people.

Although the little girl was mischievous, she was kind and cute, and everyone loved her.

Su Jingxing had an agreement with the little girl to give her a live squirrel on her birthday.

Now she had suddenly gone missing.

Gu Bo was not the only one who was panicking. Everyone in the crematorium was also anxious. They got the people around them to search for clues and the little girl.

Su Jingxing did the same.

At night, he returned to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain after work and went online to search for traces.

The place where Gu Duoduo had gone missing was the playground next to the estate where she lived. Her grandmother took her there.

The old lady had been keeping an eye on her. To give way to a couple of rowdy kids, she looked away and shifted her position.

However, in less than three seconds that this happened, Gu Duoduo was gone.

The old lady called out first, then went forward and entered the playground. After searching for a long time, she did not see Gu Duoduo. It was as if the little girl had suddenly evaporated.

When Gu Bo and his wife rushed here, the people at the playground hurriedly cooperated to search for her.

But it was too late.

Gu Duoduo was missing.

Through the web, Su Jingxing first hacked into the surveillance cameras near the playground.

After a round of searching, he realized that there were many blind spots that couldn’t be captured on the surveillance cameras.

He had no choice but to check the surveillance footage of the streets and alleys around the playground, but he still did not find anything.

However, while he searched for traces online, he found that many people had gone missing every year.

Most of these people were women. They were of all ages.

After they went missing, their family members posted requests for help online. They were willing to pay money to people who provide the clues, but the effect was negligible. It was basically like a rock sinking into the ocean.

Although the Public Security Team had been investigating, they barely made any progress.

As time passed, it became a case without any leads.

Su Jingxing consolidated these incidents and wanted to see if he could find any related clues.

And he did.

Among the missing women, the younger ones were the majority.

Like Gu Duoduo, there were many girls under the age of ten.

Su Jingxing gathered the information of these people and tried to find common points.

Especially points that were similar to Gu Duoduo’s case!

After half an hour, Su Jingxing finally found one.

Birth time!

If he had not investigated deeper, Su Jingxing would never have thought that most of the people who went missing were born during a Yin hour of a Yin day or a Yin month of a Yin year!

Even Yu Miaotong!

Yu Miaotong who had been killed by Shi Yanfeng. Like Gu Duoduo, she had been born during an Yin hour of a Yin day of an Yin month of an Yin year .

Was it a coincidence?

No!

“There’s a problem!

“There’s definitely something wrong here!

“The Shi Family…”

Su Jingxing’s eyes lit up. His hands moved quickly on the keyboard as he hacked into the systems and cyberspaces of companies related to the Shi family.

After searching for a while, he finally found some clues.

Someone was helping the Shi family, or perhaps someone from the Shi family was fiddling with the evidence online of these women with these birth times and dates who had gone missing.

If it weren’t for the people doing this, Su Jingxing wouldn’t have expected Gu Duoduo’s disappearance to be related to the Shi Family!

“What is this family trying to do?”

Su Jingxing frowned.

Although he now knew that Gu Duoduo’s disappearance was related to the Shi Family, there were no other clues or evidence on the Internet.

Report it to the Martial Suppression Office for Li Linzhou to go to the Shi Family to ask for the girl?

Putting aside whether Li Linzhou was willing to interfere or not, even if he was, he might not necessarily find her if he does go to the Shi Family.

The reason was simple. The Shi Family would never admit to such a thing.

If Li Linzhou were to go to Shi Family to ask for her, he instead would alert them and provoke the Shi Family into killing her. Then they would destroy the body to obliterate all traces and burn her to ashes.

What Su Jingxing wanted was not a pile of ashes, but a living Gu Duoduo.

Hence, he was the only one who knew about the findings he made online.

The disadvantages of the others knowing outweighed the benefits.

“A night visit to the Shi Family’s residence?”

Su Jingxing pondered.

Thanks to Ke Wenji, Su Jingxing had managed to cultivate the Qi section of the Colossal Divine Dagger and the Colossal Divine Dagger to the Advanced level with the Martial Arts Practice Card with 16 years of practice time.

Right now, he was confident of sneaking into the Shi Family’s compound without anyone noticing.

If he really were to be discovered, he was also confident of a successful escape.

So——

“To the Shi Family…”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of fighting suddenly came from the river.

Su Jingxing listened carefully and found that the voices were getting closer and closer to him.

He immediately switched off his computer, put on his cloak and mask, and walked out of the courtyard. He flew to a large tree by the river bank and hid in the dense foliage. He activated his Night Vision and Distant Vision abilities at the same time, looking at the approaching groups of people.

It was one against three.

The four of them all used swords. True energy was released as sword energy surged.

They fought their way along the embankment, causing massive damage.

From time to time, they would jump to the surface of the water and create a splash.

Su Jingxing watched from afar.

These four of them, one escaping and three chasing did not leak any aura even when they passed under the tree.

It wasn’t until one of the three giving chase paid a heavy price to kill the fleeing martial artists on the spot did the other two shout out in excitement.

“Finally killed this Nie fellow!”

“Haha, Jia Youbai would never have thought that Nie Renchou, who escaped from him, would die in the hands of us three!”
