Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 621 - 44: The Dead Can Speak Too

It is said that when the President waged war in Fusang, he piled up human heads in Capital View, reaching a height of ten meters, in order to deter villains from all around.

Among them were 800 Venerate King Samurai. Hearing that the President intended to exterminate the entire Imperial Clan including the Emperor of Heaven, they gathered in front of the army, willing to disembowel themselves in apology, to die on behalf of the Imperial Clan.

Some advised the President, "These are men of loyalty and righteousness. Killing them would bode ill. Firstly, it would undermine the majesty of the Royal Forces; secondly, it might incite resentment among the local populace."

The President laughed and said, "In the Military Sect, there are no taboos." Thus, the army encircled and annihilated all 800 samurai, their bones merging into the structure of Capital View.

...

Nowadays, some only remember the phrase "In the Military Sect, there are no taboos," completely forgetting the origin and the story behind it.

The President kills people, and I kill people; thus, rounding it out, I am equivalent to the President. If you oppose me, it’s the same as opposing the President.

The President killed Fusang Warriors, and I kill my own brethren? What’s the difference? I despise you nitpickers the most. It’s because of people like you who fuss over every little thing that the nation cannot progress.

Throughout the entire day, an atmosphere of panic and oppression enveloped Tianmen City.

It was not something new for the Qilin Army to enter the city, but it was unusual for the Military Police unit of the Qilin Army to openly arrest people in the city and even resort to using firearms.

Old masters in the tea houses, watching the military vehicles speeding down the streets, couldn’t help but whisper with concern that the President, having assumed office just two years ago, was too eager to wield the slaughter knife and eliminate dissidents, foreboding difficult times ahead.

Regardless of whom he kills, at the end of the day, it is all the President’s fault. Surely future histories will record such atrocities for the wise and virtuous to critique.

Gunshots rang throughout the Wei Family compound for an entire morning. Allegedly, carloads of living people were brought in, and carloads of corpses were taken out.

The case directly supervised by the Military Police was beyond questioning, and their official statement to the public was just four words—"Purge of the household."

At two-thirty in the afternoon, a military vehicle stopped at the school gate.

The drowsy Li Mumu immediately lifted her head and widened her eyes.

She could feel a massive shadow of death slowly approaching, its mountainous murderous aura causing the hairs on her back to stand.

"Wang Yunxiao, Principal Zhou is calling you to his office!"

While Wang Yunxiao, who was intently designing a survey questionnaire, just reached the door of the Principal’s office, he couldn’t help sneezing.

The scent of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood hit him in the face.

In the office sat a burly military officer, his face fleshy, and his hair and beard stiff like steel wires, his whole body looking as if coated in corpse oil, oozing the scent of death from inside out. His eyeballs unusually white with less black, staring at people as if he was looking at rotten meat.

Had it been any relatively inexperienced youngster, a glare from him might have caused them to wet their pants.

Principal Zhou quietly sipped tea at the side, making no introduction.

"Are you Wang Yunxiao?"

The officer emotionlessly sized Wang Yunxiao up, the words from his mouth chilly.

"Your father is Wang Yaofeng, a senior engineer in the Navy shipyard. Your mother Zhang Min, head nurse at the Navy’s headquarters hospital?"

Is that so...?

Wang Yunxiao had no memories about his parents; if not for his own student record, he wouldn’t know these names.

"The incident with the Wei family, was it you who exposed it?"

Wang Yunxiao calmly answered, "The truth will reveal itself, and falsities won’t last. The Wei family’s matter doesn’t need me to expose it; it would have come to light sooner or later."

"Got the guts to do it, but not to admit it?"

"What do you want me to admit?"

The officer stared at Wang Yunxiao for a long while, realizing he was entirely unfazed, and finally nodded in satisfaction. He then told Principal Zhou, "You’ve trained this student well. After graduation, let him come to the Military Police Brigade."

Principal Zhou silently blew away the tea leaf stems in his cup, unwilling to engage.

Having left Principal Zhou’s office slightly embarrassed, the officer didn’t care and turned back to Wang Yunxiao, saying, "Initially, the Great General considered the Wei family’s loyal and martyred lineage, nearly extinct, and recruited them into the army to give them a clerical position, but unexpectedly they were incapable of improvement, stirring up such ludicrous scandals and causing all the old comrades to lose face."

"Thank goodness you’re a military offspring, at least you’re one of us, and didn’t create a spectacle for outsiders. The Qilin Army will cover all related medical costs, and the wealth accumulated by the Wei Family in the last two years, after inventory, will be donated to your school. The military will also add a sum as compensation for the students. If you have any personal requests, feel free to mention them, and I will do my best to accommodate them."

So, is this essentially hush money?

No wonder Principal Zhou didn’t utter a word.

This cup of tea is really costly.

Wang Yunxiao smiled and said, "I just did what was needed, I have no other requests."

The officer’s expression immediately darkened, although his face wasn’t too pleasant to begin with.

"Is it the duty of a student to steal half of the Wei Family’s private stash of arms?"

"The Wei Family had a private stash of arms?"

Wang Yunxiao exclaimed in surprise, "Are they planning a rebellion?"

The officer’s expression grew even darker.

The Wei Family really had stirred up quite a storm, and he couldn’t speak carelessly about it.

"Take care of yourself!"

After dropping this remark, he stood up, dusted off his trousers, and walked away without giving Wang Yunxiao another glance.

After the officer left, Principal Zhou finally spoke calmly, "You did well this time, don’t worry about the military chasing after you for this. That guy might have a bad temper, but he’s a decent person."

"I’m not worried."

Wang Yunxiao thought, I don’t even know who he is, why should I worry.

"Principal, is there anything else?"

"Why didn’t you investigate further down the line this time?"

Should I... continue investigating further down?

Wang Yunxiao confusedly said, "Principal, if I continue to investigate, it would lead to Liuye Camp. Do you want me to pursue this lead?"

"No, it’s the other side,"

Principal Zhou shook his head, "I gave you a Shanhu, and you didn’t use it. Since you don’t want to investigate further, you might as well return it."

No, dude...

How can it be returned just like that?

Wang Yunxiao couldn’t help but grimace, "I’m a bit slow, Principal, you might as well speak plainly."

Principal Zhou coughed once and said sternly, "Let you be the face of the matter with the Wei Family, and have the younger ones continue the pursuit."

"Are there any living members left in the Wei family now?"

"The dead can still speak."

Not even sparing the dead?

Wang Yunxiao thought for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Which direction do you want them to investigate?"

Principal Zhou smiled and said, "Didn’t you and Cheng Xuefei exchange a little secret?"

"Principal... aren’t you a bit too well-informed? You know about our private conversations too?"

It was something Wang Yunxiao had felt for a while now, that Principal Zhou seemed to have a premonitive ability, knowing far too much.

Yet with his own eyes, he couldn’t see through him; he seemed no different from an ordinary person.

What exactly is your proficiency?
