When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 150: Chapter 135: The more I think about it, the more I feel at a loss after stepping back_2

This ability made Xiang Beifei feel rather magical.

Being lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai could apply weight to anything. If one's cultivation was strong enough, even a palm-sized pebble could be made as heavy as a mountain!

Of course, the weight one could control was linked to one's own cultivation level. Xiang Beifei tried out this ability and found that he could currently control a weight of around one hundred pounds!

In other words, he could make a feather weigh a hundred pounds, or make something weighing a hundred pounds as light as a feather. With higher cultivation, the controllable weight would be even greater.

"Being able to control weight is a great thing!"

Xiang Beifei didn't disdain any ability; of course, all these abilities were just supplementary to him. If he wanted to become stronger, he still needed to rely on his own cultivation!

There were only a few days left before school started, and Xiang Beifei was pondering that he should also start preparing for school. But at this moment, he received a call from Lu Zhiwei.

"Hello, Beifei! Are you up for making twenty thousand?"

"I am!"

Xiang Beifei stretched lazily. Although with Elder Luo around, tuition fees and such were not a big problem, money was something no one would ever find excessive.

"Quick to respond! I'm below your dorm building, come down!" Lu Zhiwei said on the phone.

"Early." Xiang Beifei replied.

Lu Zhiwei was dressed in a light yellow short-sleeved shirt today, paired with casual pants, and her hair was tied into a ponytail, clean and fresh.

She was riding a red motorcycle, its body shining bright like flames, quite stylish indeed.

"Let's not dawdle, we have a person to catch," Lu Zhiwei said seriously.

"Who are we catching?" Xiang Beifei asked, curious.

"A crafty guy, ranging within our jurisdiction," Lu Zhiwei clenched her fist, then looked at Xiang Beifei, "You're free today, right? I haven't come to bother you these past few days."

"I'm free, what's his strength?"

Xiang Beifei needed to consider the gap between enemy and ally before deciding whether to take the risk.

Making money was important, but the prerequisite was to stay alive.

Otherwise, running into someone with the power of Lai Wuying and without Lu Hong as backup, just the two of them going in would be akin to seeking death.

"They say he's at the late stage of Qi-Controlling! He showed up in the southern jurisdiction last month, and though he got away, the Law Enforcers from there sent word that he's at the late stage of Qi-Controlling," Lu Zhiwei informed.

"A late-stage Qi-Controlling managed to escape?"

"The criminals on the wanted list are no simple matter; otherwise, why would they be on the list? They all have very tricky systems, and when facing Law Enforcers in the Meridian Opening phase, even if they can't win, they can still run," she explained.

Lu Zhiwei rubbed her hands together eagerly and looked at Xiang Beifei with anticipation, "But we have you!"

Xiang Beifei felt quite the headache, they really took him for a master detective!

After thinking a bit, he asked, "This one has a ten thousand reward, right?"

"All you think about is money," she chided.

"No money, no deal," Xiang Beifei declared.

Lu Zhiwei pouted and said, "Of course, it's there. Ordinary citizens who help capture criminals always get a reward. This criminal is ranked seventy-ninth on the wanted list, weaker than Lai Wuying, but still worth a bounty of twenty thousand."

"Deal!"

Xiang Beifei nodded slightly, then asked, "What are the specifics?"

Lu Zhiwei took out some documents and handed them to Xiang Beifei, "Early this morning, someone reported a car accident on the highway, a cruise ship hit a sedan."

"A cruise ship hit a sedan on the highway?"

Xiang Beifei raised an eyebrow.

That's quite the thrill, isn't it?

"Yes, according to eyewitnesses, they saw a cruise ship traveling along the road, and then it suddenly crashed into the lead car, sending it spinning in the air several times and turning into a heap of scrap metal," Lu Zhiwei elaborated.

"And then?"

"The people in the car vanished, and after the cruise ship hit the sedan, it disappeared too. My dad is still at the crime scene investigating. What we can preliminarily confirm is that this guy is the 'Highway Cruise Ship Killer', a fugitive on the wanted list. But there's no other progress beyond that, so I snuck off to find you."

Lu Zhiwei handed Xiang Beifei a piece of information with an introduction to the "Highway Cruise Ship Killer".

"That's a really strange name."

Xiang Beifei looked over the information about the Highway Cruise Ship Killer. This guy didn't have a real face, but there were photos of the cruise ship.

It was a white cruise ship, its white paint peeling off, looking like it had seen better days—with no identification on it, just an ordinary, old cruise ship.

In the photo, the cruise ship was captured traveling on the highway, looking particularly eerie.

"Here's some surveillance footage from past incidents, pretty similar to this one, but we just can't capture who this person is."

Lu Zhiwei passed her phone to Xiang Beifei and tapped on the video screen. Find more to read at M V L

Although it was night, the video was fairly clear because the surveillance was created with high-tech systems, so it was still very clear and even had sound.

In the video, several sedans drove along the highway, looking normal, but at this moment, the car in front suddenly honked loudly, even starting to slow down and hitting the brakes as if to make way for something.

A cruise ship came into view at the end of the highway.

The appearance of the cruise ship into the camera's frame was sudden, completely dark with no lights, speeding along the highway like a ghostly shadow. Next, the light in the video frame suddenly dimmed, as though something interfered with the filming.

The light around the cruise ship seemed to be absorbed by it, then it quickly crashed into one of the red sedans, cutting the vehicle in half.

The strangest part was that the red sedan wasn't at the front—it had other cars in front of it. However, the highway cruise ship moved like a ghost, nimbly dodging through a row of cars, like an experienced driver on the highway, avoiding the other vehicles before hitting that one sedan in the stream of cars.

"It seems to have a specific target. Who was sitting in that sedan?" Xiang Beifei asked, pointing to the video.

"Its targets are always couples!" Lu Zhiwei said.

"Couples?"

"Yes, we can't find the people, so we can only deduce from missing persons cases, every time the sedan that was hit happened to have a couple in it." Lu Zhiwei said, "That's why this guy is also called the Highway Couples Killer by us!"

Xiang Beifei nodded thoughtfully, "Turns out being single has its benefits."

Lu Zhiwei's eyes widened, "Hey, is that the point!"

Xiang Beifei calmly asked, "Have none of the victims been found?"

Lu Zhiwei shook her head, "All the cases are very strange. Every time a cruise ship hits a car on the highway, there are no bloodstains left inside. It's like the car was empty, as if the people inside vanished the moment they were hit."

Could there really be such a bizarre thing?

Xiang Beifei was deep in thought, considering which systems could achieve this.

But so far, he hadn't encountered many powerful systems. The ones that had left the deepest impression on him were probably Thousand Faces Refined and the Reclamation System; it was hard to determine without checking the crime scene.

"Let's go have a look." Xiang Beifei said.

"Let's go."

Lu Zhiwei tossed a helmet to Xiang Beifei and donned one herself. With a confident flick of her hair, she motioned for Xiang Beifei to hop on.

"I always feel like it's never good news when I run into you."

Xiang Beifei muttered, sitting behind Lu Zhiwei.

"Hold onto me tight! We're going to act like a sweet little couple! Maybe then that cruise ship will come hit us." Lu Zhiwei said nonchalantly.

Xiang Beifei: "..."

Lu Zhiwei was very bold. As a talented student from Liangzhou University, an S-rank Awakener, and with the Super Police System, she was extremely skilled in every aspect except reasoning.

But she knew Xiang Beifei was even more powerful. After all, he had once killed a Triangular Thunder Krait in a single strike, so she had great confidence in Xiang Beifei.

Xiang Beifei didn't say much. As he sat behind Lu Zhiwei, he hesitated and stretched out his hand, gesturing, pondering where to place it respectfully.

But Lu Zhiwei had already floored the accelerator, speeding off!

The huge inertia almost threw Xiang Beifei off, and he instinctively hugged Lu Zhiwei's waist tight.

Quite slender, indeed.
