Chapter 156: The Reappearance of the Door-Knocking Freak

“Stop the car. What are you guys doing?”

“Police Officer, we came here from somewhere else to help. We heard that this place has been affected by the disaster and came to offer support…”

As Qin Ya was conversing with them, Lin Yao realized why she had only purchased supplies for distribution during the early part of the night. Obviously, this was not a place she was familiar with. She couldn’t pull any strings, and it was very difficult to continue the distribution outdoors after midnight.

As Qin Ya was handling the conversation, Lin Yao looked in the direction of the group of policemen. Feeling bored, he watched them interrogate a resident and pondered what he was going to do tonight after he returned.

‘Meditate or study?

‘Forget it, I’ll just rest. The progress of my meditation is too slow. I’ll do that again after finding a way to turn on a cheat.’

Ordinary people would not think of taking shortcuts, but Lin Yao was not ordinary.

There were angels on the Celestial Tree, but no spirits were living on the Tree of Heaven Punishment yet. Recently, when Lin Yao had some time, he’d search for clues about the Leize Dragon God or other thunderous beasts in the abnormal ability forum or merit service forum.

‘I can use other methods if I can’t get a clue. Anyway, Leize Dragon God Meditation is at the beginner level, and it doesn’t take much effort to change the meditation technique.’

The shortcut in this area made Lin Yao reluctant to waste time on ordinary meditation, which was not efficient.

There was no need for meditation. As far as his studies were concerned, the physics teacher Qin Ya had found for him had not arrived yet. Lin Yao would have to wait and see. He was going to rest well tonight to prepare for the opening match of the top 32 players tomorrow.

By the time Lin Yao thought about his plans for tonight, Qin Ya’s conversation with the other party also ended. After being warned by the policemen who had stopped them, Qin Ya was ready to drive away. Lin Yao also turned away from the door of the residence that was surrounded by the police. The inquiry was over, and the homeowner had closed the door and returned to the inside of the house.

However, after he’d closed the door for a mere three seconds, Lin Yao shuddered all over as if he’d gotten a fright. He looked in the direction of the door and hollered suddenly, “Stop the car!”

The sudden shout startled Qin Ya, who had been clutching her forehead and massaging her temple. Even the police officers in the distance were stunned.

“Why are you shouting?”

Qin Ya initially complained, but she soon saw Lin Yao breaking out in a cold sweat and staring at the door of the residence where they had been interrogated earlier.

More than one person saw Lin Yao, and the officers, who hadn’t walked far away, also noticed Lin Yao’s abnormal behavior. Immediately, a few of them walked toward Lin Yao with their hands on their waists.

“Sir, what did you discover?”

“A freak. There’s a freak in the house.”

After hearing the word ‘freak’, the officers took a closer look at Lin Yao but didn’t say anything. Although the situation with the freaks was kept a secret from the public, they appeared too frequently, and many people were also aware of their existence. However, they had been warned by the officials and had signed a non-disclosure agreement. Therefore, they couldn’t announce it.

Upon hearing Lin Yao’s words, someone retorted instinctively, “We’ve already checked the place. There is no problem…”

“Make another inquiry.”

Before the soldier holding a device could finish speaking, the captain of the team had already come forward and made a decision. He led the team to the door. After telling the rest of the team to prepare, he knocked on the door gingerly.

The sound of the door opening was heard after 10 seconds. When he saw the police officers standing outside the door again, the old man’s face looked somewhat impatient. “Why are you guys here again? Haven’t you questioned me already?”

“I’m sorry, sir, but we have to check again. This is safer for you too. Don’t you agree?”

“Since you guys want to do it… so be it…”

“Don’t go in.”

By this time, Lin Yao had already gotten out of the car. Of course, he was separated from the door by a group of police officers and Qin Ya, which was a form of protection. At the same time, the police officers were also wary of Lin Yao.

Lin Yao was not concerned about this. He just looked ahead with a sullen expression.

“Uncle, you were disturbed by knocking sounds on the door, right?”

“How did you know?”

His response made Lin Yao’s face turn even more sullen.

“Do you remember what happened after you heard the knocking sounds on the door?”

“Of course I do. I called the police as soon as it happened and I was protected for a few days. The police left afterward, as they didn’t discover any problems.”

“How was your day on the first day after the protection ended?”

“I went about my day as I normally would, of course. Who are you?”

“Think carefully about what happened.”

“There’s no need to. I’m fine. Who exactly are you? I don’t want to answer your questions. You are not a policeman.”

Lin Yao kept asking about the details of that night, but the old man in front of him looked somewhat irritated.

Lin Yao, who was not cross, continued to press on.

“Please think again.”

“Don’t make me think again. I already said that I’m fine.”

The old man looked infuriated, his voice sounded increasingly worked up, and he was scratching his face with his hands agitatedly.

However, the grumpy old man quickly discovered that something was wrong. The officials surrounding him were moving away from him and touching the weapons at their waists.

“What are you guys doing? What are you afraid of? I said I’m fine. There are no longer knocking sounds on the door… Knocking, knocking… No… Let me go… Don’t come over, don’t come over…”

Clutching his head, the old man panicked and shouted furiously. While he was feeling frightened, a rancid smell emanated from his body. At the same time, his intact body also started to decompose as if he had already been dead for a week.

His decomposing body and the stench of decay made these officers distance themselves from him. They had already sensed that something was amiss.

“Uncle Han, are you alright?”

“Don’t act on impulse. Calm down, calm down.”

“Calm down… How can I be calm? I already told you guys. I called the police. Why didn’t you guys save me? Why?

“You are the ones who caused my death. Die… Aarggh, aargh, aargh… All of you deserve to die!”

Upon looking at the decaying, hysterical Uncle Han, who had completely lost his mind, without needing Lin Yao’s reminder, the officers subdued the decomposing monster as fast as they could.

In the end, the old man turned into ash and dissipated. Upon seeing this, the officers were emotionally affected. An ordinary person had turned into a monster in front of their eyes. They felt uneasy, especially due to the fact that the monster had transformed into a human and lived there for a few days. This made many new policemen feel very stressed.

However, some of them were psychologically weak, and others were more resilient. The captain of the team immediately turned his attention to Lin Yao with a grave look in his eyes.

“Sir, please come to the police station with us to file a report.”

“Of course, it is the duty of ordinary citizens and students to cooperate with the police, but we have the right not to say anything. Can we wait for my lawyer to come?”

Qin Ya was the one who replied. She was fighting for their rights in the face of the officers, and she emphasized that Lin Yao was a student.

However, Lin Yao didn’t care about this anymore. Tremendous shock and terror lingered in his heart, and even Brave Soul couldn’t make these feelings disappear.

‘Why did the door-knocking freak appear here? Wasn’t it in Ninghai City?

‘How many people have been killed by it and are pretending to live like ordinary people!?’

Qin Ya drove Lin Yao to the police station. However, she soon saw Lin Yao’s expression and realized that he didn’t look alright. When she patted Lin Yao on the shoulder, Lin Yao actually trembled and stretched his hand toward his weapon.

Fortunately, he came back to his senses and saw the tired-looking woman sitting beside him and the police cars guarding the surrounding area. There were also armed men in the car. Lin Yao felt slightly embarrassed. “Sorry to cause you trouble.”

“Trouble? This is not considered trouble. We didn’t break the law. Instead, we helped the officials. You may even get a pennant for your righteousness and courage. Your publicity will be taken care of then.”

This was just a joke. Nevertheless, Lin Yao’s anxiety improved slightly when he heard this.

“Don’t be afraid. The freaks are terrifying, but we have to trust the power of the government.”

“Of course I trust the government. I wasn’t afraid earlier. I just thought of some terrible things and felt uneasy for the others.”

Brave Soul made it difficult for Lin Yao to feel fear for himself. Lin Yao had not been shocked and afraid earlier because he was timid but because he’d thought of some terrifying things.

The door-knocking freak had affected two cities, and Lin Yao was stunned and afraid. It might have already harmed many humans and turned them into living dead.

If Lin Yao could feel happy when this thought existed in his heart, he would be truly heartless.

‘Breathe in…’

Lin Yao took a deep breath to appease the chaos in his mind. After calming down slightly, he took out his cell phone and made a call.

Click, click.

“What are you doing?”

Besides Qin Ya and Lin Yao, three policemen were sitting in the back seat of Qin Ya’s car. The captain was one of them.

This was a form of protection, as well as a way to monitor Lin Yao at any time. Lin Yao’s actions alerted the trio when he took out his cell phone.

“Don’t get alarmed. I’m just making a call. It’s a call to the police.”

After speaking, Lin Yao showed them the name of the contact on his phone. The words ‘Police Officer Wen’ were very clear.

After saying this, Lin Yao simply dialed the number and turned on the speakerphone.

The phone rang several times before the call was picked up by a woman.

“Student Lin Yao, has something happened to you?”

When she received a call in the middle of the night, Wen Chang’s initial hunch was that Lin Yao was in trouble.

“No… Well, something is going on. I ran into the door-knocking freak again.”

“What! Stay away. Don’t go in. Wait for me to bring a team over.”

Upon hearing the word ‘freak’, Wen Chang immediately warned Lin Yao loudly and told him to protect himself.

However, before she could finish her words, Lin Yao spoke. “You can’t get here. I’m in Tianhai City. I came across this freak in Tianhai City.”

“Tianhai City… How can that be?”

Wen Chang was not stupid. As a competent policewoman, her deduction ability was very strong. As soon as Lin Yao said that the door-knocking freak had appeared in Tianhai City and created living dead, a lot of thoughts immediately popped into Wen Chang’s mind.

For example, how many living dead had that freak created in Tianhai City? Did the freak only appear in the cities of Tianhai and Ninghai? Had any surrounding cities also been affected by that freak?

After Lin Yao finished speaking, both of them went silent. In the end, it was Qin Ya who broke the silence.

“Wen Chang, get Mr. Lin out of this place first.”

“Qin Ya, why are you there? Why are you with Student Lin?”

“You are still as stupid as ever. Is this the time to ask about this? Get Student Lin Yao out of here and let him go back where he belongs. That’s the priority now.”

“You don’t need to remind me. Look after Student Lin Yao. Tomorrow, I’ll take him… get him out of there. Are there any officers next to you?”

Qin Ya didn’t answer this question. She merely gestured for Lin Yao to pass the phone to the captain.

“Hello, I’m Ninghai City’s…”

While the two captains were talking, Lin Yao shot Qin Ya a strange look.

“Wen Chang is also your classmate.”

“Of course, we are from the same cohort. Let me put it this way… Most of the outstanding youths of a similar age in the city are from our cohort.” After she said that, Qin Ya glanced at Lin Yao. “I suggest that you transfer to No. 1 High School after the arena competition.”
