Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

”A murderer who makes the victim themselves unaware that they are victims, how bizarre, it indeed easily conjures thoughts of those peculiar, intelligent beings.”

Tang Feng stroked his chin, flipping through the case files in his hand, and analyzed to Liu Shuangshuang, who was sitting beside him.

Liu Shuangshuang crossed her arms: ”If this case truly involves an intelligent being, it should be one skilled at beguiling the human mind.

If it’s a human perpetrator, then this person is definitely not ordinary, but someone who has practiced techniques similar to Soul Capturing Hypnosis, or perhaps is a superpower user.

Because the hypnotism mastered by ordinary people surely cannot compel someone to self-harm in such a brutal way. Xinyan, you’ve studied Charm Technique, do you know any Cultivation Technique that could achieve this?”

Having experience with two cases, Liu Shuangshuang no longer solely considers intelligent beings as the suspect.

After all, with so many humans practicing Ancient Martial Arts and possessing superpowers, human perpetrators can be just as harmful, if not more so, than intelligent beings.

The reason Cai Xinyan showed interest in this case and followed to help with analysis,

was actually just to spectate the spectacle of the victims. Liu Shuangshuang thought about how Cai Xinyan’s Charm Technique is also a Cultivation Technique that influences others’ minds, which is why she asked.

Cai Xinyan lazily leaned against the table with her chin propped up, and upon hearing Liu Shuangshuang’s question, she replied, ”There are indeed many, Heart Capturing Technique, Soul Shifting Technique, Mind Control Technique can all achieve that, besides Ancient Martial Cultivation Techniques, there are all sorts of superpowers too.

There are dozens of Cultivation Techniques capable of this, and the superpowers are even more diverse, encompassing all sorts of abilities, who knows what bizarre superpowers can do this.

In my opinion, these victims got what they deserved, just look at what’s written in these files, none of them are good people, each one wrote ridiculous reports just for money.

And this man is the most disgusting, just because the girl he pursued in school didn’t like him, he made false rumors to ruin her reputation, saying she became a dancer, even Photoshopped evidence to upload online.

These idiots believed without discerning truth from falsehood, leading the girl to attempted suicide in despair and she has been in a coma ever since, just a pitiful vegetative state.

Yet this boy was lightly sentenced because he was under eighteen and it wasn’t intentional murder, just compensated a little money and it’s over, truly the wicked go free while the good suffer in vain!”

Cai Xinyan’s eyes carried a strange anger, feeling these victims deserved it, just short of applauding the murderer.

In fact, not only Cai Xinyan, but Liu Shuangshuang and Tang Feng also held no good impression of these victims, but due to their duty, they couldn’t ignore investigating the case.

”Captain, Captain Liu, there’s another new case.” A member of the second team entered with a stack of files and placed them in front of Liu Shuangshuang and Tang Feng.

”How many victims are there, are the victims still reporters this time?” Tang Feng asked while casually picking up the file on top and flipping through it.

The team member shook his head: ”This time the victims aren’t reporters, they’re five ordinary people, two men and three women, and they only bit their own tongues, without smashing their hands.

They also, like the previous victims, felt it was their own sudden urge to self-harm, with no trace of the murderer.

We also checked the surveillance of where they lived and moved, and scanned the people they contacted before and after the incident, but found no suspicious individuals.

Two of the victims were alone at home before and after the incident, not coming into contact with any person or intelligent being.”

Tang Feng pondered: ”This is odd. I originally thought the murderer was targeting reporters, not expecting them to now target ordinary people.

Moreover, these people seem to be unrelated. No, perhaps there is some connection. Have you investigated whether these people like to gossip and spread rumors?”

The team member nodded: ”Indeed, these victims are all people who love to gossip and spread rumors. This suggests that the murderer targets not reporters, but anyone who likes to gossip and spread rumors.”

Cai Xinyan suddenly laughed, twirling her hair with a peculiar gleam in her eyes: ”This murderer is quite righteous, I like them.”

Tang Feng rubbed his forehead, unable to help but sigh: ”Minister Cai, please don’t add to the chaos. Although these people are unpleasant, such crimes aren’t justified.”

”Why not? They harm others with rumors, how many lives have been ruined by such people’s words. There are so many news reports of people committing suicide driven by rumors, isn’t each of them killed by a group of people?

But since they merely spoke, and because crimes committed by many are not guilty, those who die do so in vain. Their tongues are murder weapons, and now someone has confiscated their tools of the crime, I think it’s quite good.”

Tang Feng couldn’t argue with Cai Xinyan, knowing some of her past, he was aware of her emotional scars and didn’t wish to continue debating with her.

Rubbing his forehead with a headache, Tang Feng turned back to Liu Shuangshuang, who was steadily reviewing the files, and asked: ”Shuangshuang, what’s your take on this case?”

Liu Shuangshuang put down the files, pondered for a moment, and said: ”I think Xinyan was right in one aspect, this murderer is likely to be a person with a sense of justice yet highly obsessive.

The sense of justice is reflected in that none of those targeted were innocent. I just closely examined the files and found that none of the victims were not once the most active in spreading rumors among those driven to death by gossip; in some sense, these people deserve punishment.

But their actions were merely gossiping, spreading rumors, and even if punished, it wouldn’t be significant. Compared to those forced to death, the penalty is indeed far too light, making one feel discontent.

The obsession is in using such methods not typical of normal people or intelligent beings, according to standard values; many would choose an eye-for-an-eye revenge approach, and this murderer, with their wide capabilities, could have retaliated using the same rumor-spreading method.

Yet this murderer did not choose that, instead opting for the crude method of destroying these people’s ability to type on keyboards and spread rumors, and their tongues for speaking ill.

I see two possibilities: one is that the murderer felt that using rumors as retaliation wouldn’t effectively punish those people.

However, I lean more towards the other possibility, that the murderer loathes rumors and has a personal bottom line; even in revenge, they refuse to use the rumor-spreading method they despise.

This is because it would make them no different than the people they detest; they disdain, and would not allow themselves to become such a person.”
