Half an hour later.
Around the villa, a police cordon had already been set up.
The lights flashing on the rooftops of dozens of police cars were extraordinarily dazzling in the darkness of the night.
"What's the situation inside?" a police officer who had just arrived at the scene asked, with a look of surprise, as he observed all the officers standing outside the cordon.
Just then, the window of a police car by the road lowered, and an older officer, with a grave expression, said, "The situation inside is very complex, and it's not something we can interfere with."
The officer was astonished, "Isn't it a murder case? Why can't we, as detectives, get involved?"
The senior officer in the car lifted his head and gestured with his eyes, "Look over there."
The officer turned his head and saw a square, black military off-road vehicle parked by the side of the road.
At that moment, on the rear window of the vehicle was a shield-shaped emblem wrapped around an angry dragon.
"Dragon Group!" the officer's eyes widened instantly.
Inside the villa.
The lingering strong stench of blood and the bodies scattered haphazardly could certainly be described as brutal.
A woman in a light green military skirt and formal military attire, with a tall and curvy figure and beautiful features, was sitting carelessly on a sofa on the first floor of the villa.
She was sitting with one leg crossed over the other, her black boots adding a touch of ruggedness to her slender legs.
At that moment, in her fair, jade-like hand, she was holding a glass of crimson red wine, gently swirling the glass, making the wine in it spin like blood.
"He rushed over with his gun, the bullet already in the chamber, he raised his hand to aim, was about to pull the trigger, and then, 'Achoo!'" a petite girl standing by the doorway of the hall exclaimed, staring at the corpse on the floor in astonishment.
"This is so strange, how could he sneeze when he was so highly focused?"
With that, the girl got up and walked upstairs.
A tall and muscular military man, with a flick of his fingers, gently pinched and removed a surgical knife from the door frame.
"The cheapest split-type medical surgical knife, easily available in pharmacies, with a galvanized iron handle and a 203 stainless steel blade, costing no more than 5 yuan."
Seeing that the female officer seated on the sofa still had no reaction, the man continued, "Judging from the angle and force, this criminal's Cultivation has already reached the Spiritual Movement Stage, not something ordinary officers can handle."
The beautiful female officer, holding her wine glass, sighed with boredom, "So weak, truly boring."
The military man said in a deep voice, "Indeed very weak, thus this criminal's danger level is the lowest, E."
At that moment, the petite girl who had gone upstairs had already rushed down like the wind.
Her face pale, she corrected emphatically, "Danger level S! Danger level S!"
These words immediately sparked a burst of brilliance in the eyes of the beautiful female officer sitting on the sofa.
The military man laughed and said, "Ali, are you joking? Generally, the danger levels for Cultivation criminals are graded from A to E, with Foundation Establishment stage and below weak criminals undoubtedly being the lowest, E."
"Now you actually want to classify a criminal who hasn't even reached the Foundation Establishment Stage as surpassing ordinary S-level, this is practically making an international joke."
The petite girl pleaded urgently, "Please let me explain."
The military-clad man coldly interrupted, "No need to talk further, classifying a criminal who hasn't even reached the Foundation Establishment Stage as a Disaster Level threat, we will be ridiculed."
At that moment, the beautiful female officer sitting on the sofa revealed a slight smile at the edge of her pale lips.
"Ali, why do you think this little guy is a Disaster Level threat?"
The petite girl immediately said nervously, "It's the sneezing!"
The beautiful officer was stunned, and the military-clad man burst out laughing, "Nonsense, who would believe that?"
"I've used a Secret Technique to simulate the last five seconds before the deaths of those victims based on their conditions and found that they all have one thing in common; right before they died, without exception, they all sneezed."
The girl grew frantic, "This absolutely isn't a coincidence. If I'm not wrong, this criminal knows some kind of secret technique that can make his targets sneeze."
Upon hearing this, the military-clad man immediately retorted, "Ali! Are you joking? Even if the victims were ordinary people, controlling them to sneeze would at least require Mixed Element Level strength."
"Do you think those Grandmaster Level experts would abandon their pride and disguise themselves as a weakling with a Spiritual Device?"
The military-clad man's rebuttal made the girl's eyes blaze with excitement.
"Yes, you're right, experts of the Mixed Element Realm Grandmaster Level wouldn't disguise themselves like that. So, there's only one possibility left for what could cause these victims to sneeze, and that's disease."
The military-clad man froze, "Are you saying he can control disease?"
The girl said anxiously, "Exactly, so his threat level is S-level, and if we can't catch him soon, he'll bring us an unimaginable disaster!"
"How is that possible!" The military-clad man laughed, "I've seen too many Cultivators who use poison, and many bastards who cultivate by extracting human vitality and blood."
"But I've never heard of anyone who can control disease."
"Even if it's as you say, then this criminal is at most using a method of poisoning. So, my assessment of his threat level isn't going to change, he's just E-level trash."
Hearing this, the girl became desperate, "I'm not wrong, he's an S-level danger that surpasses ordinary levels! If you classify him as E-level, then no high-rank Bounty Hunters will go after him!"
"The nation's money isn't for you to waste." The military-clad man said coldly, "E-level means E-level, just trash."
The girl became desperate and turned to the languidly seated beautiful officer and said, "Captain! Please trust my judgment."
The beautiful officer seated on the sofa smiled, "Up until now, Ali has never made a mistake in her work, but indeed a Cultivator who can control disease is unheard of. So, this little guy's threat level will temporarily be rated E."
Finishing her drink in one go, the beautiful officer stood up and said, "That's settled then. Dismiss. We're going to sleep."
Hearing this, the military-clad man frowned, "Shouldn't we be aiming to capture that guy by following the clues?"
The female officer smiled, said indifferently, "We've all seen the situation in the basement. If it were you, wouldn't you want to get rid of all those bastards?"
The military-clad man said solemnly, "Even if they are wrong, they should be sanctioned by the law!"
The female officer walked out calmly, "The law has a lot on its plate, so when dealing with those criminals, we prefer to use Cultivation World's rules to fight fire with fire. If you don't understand that, perhaps you can take a few more years to study and then come back."
