For seven days at the police station, Tsunami had refused to plead guilty, repeating over and over the fact that Shadow had committed the murder. The police suspected him of mental problems and sent him to a psychiatric hospital. However, a series of tests showed that there were no mental or psychological problems with him.

The refusal of the suspect to plead guilty has put the seemingly pristine rape case into a deadlock. A few days later, the Hai family who came to hear the news bailed out the tsunami temporarily. But to the despair of the tsunami, even his own dearest parents were unwilling to believe that he was green and white. The police station had given this "stubborn person" half a month. In this half month, he could find a lawyer, or he could privately negotiate with the victim. However, in the eyes of the police, this was all in vain — the victim, Lin Yue, was resolute in her determination to bring justice to herself, so she could not simply let it go; and no lawyer could erase the crime of the tsunami.

The day after he left the police station, Tsunami returned to work at his long-abandoned unit. However, he had only been in the office for more than two hours before he could bear it no longer. The news of his rape of Lin Yue had spread like wildfire throughout the company, and his colleagues had looked at him with contempt. A few hot-blooded young men had even publicly accused him, insulted him, and even his boss, who had always valued his honesty, had glared at him.

The huge pressure from the public opinion caused Tsunami's heart to become heavier and heavier. In the end, all he heard was a muffled "dong" sound, but his heart had irrevocably fallen to the bottom.

At noon, the emaciated Tsunami handed out his resignation report. He was far from the company he had stayed for five or six years, and far from the colleagues who had once seemed so amiable. Carrying a small cardboard box full of personal belongings, the tsunami wandered aimlessly through the streets: where was he going now? Which unit would be willing to take him in? In just a short week, his sinister reputation had spread throughout the industry. Now, he could no longer stay in this city.

The street that he had walked through countless times now looked so unfamiliar. The smiling faces of the passersby seemed to be filled with naked mockery and ridicule. The head of the tsunami became lower and lower, and its body became more and more bent, more and more humble. He wished that he could shrink into a small snail and stay in its hard shell for the rest of his life …

Bang!" There was a dull thud, as if he had hit something, and the force of the impact forced him back two steps. He raised his head and saw that he had bumped into a man. He had a handsome face that appeared to be in his twenties. He wore a crisp suit and spotless leather shoes. Ai, this person must be a successful career son, unlike me, poor, down to this point, and doesn't even know where tomorrow will be.

"I'm sorry." Tsunami apologised weakly, then took a step to the side and prepared to leave. At that moment, the man reached out a powerful arm and grabbed him.

Why, don't you want me to go? An inexplicable rage rose in Tsunami's heart, "Sir, I've already apologized. What do you want me to do?"

"If you leave just like that, you will be destined to live in the shadow of other people's curses and hearts for the rest of your life." The man's voice was magnetic and charming. His words seemed inexplicable at first glance. Tsunami couldn't help but raise his eyes and stare fixedly at the man.

A magical light shone from the man's black pupils.

"You, what do you mean by that?" Tsunami's heart violently trembled. "You seem to know something …"

"I'm not sure either." "But I know you must have had some trouble of your own lately, sir. Am I right?"

Could it be a fortune-teller Warlock? Tsunami's brows furrowed slightly. "What? Do I look like I'm about to fall down?" So you also attracted the swindlers?

"Don't worry, I'm not a liar." That person seemed to have seen through the thoughts of the tsunami. His voice also carried a hint of a smile and sincerity. "I'm here to help you. Please trust me."

"Help me?" The man's sincere smile and warm words touched Tsunami's heart. After so long, the only thing he had "gained" from the outside world was contempt. No one understood him, and no one wanted to believe him either. Now, this stranger wanted to help him. Should I trust him? What if he really was a swindler? Ai, what is there to deceive about with my current self …

Thinking up to this point, Tsunami slightly nodded his head.

Twenty minutes later, in a booth at the corner café, Tsunami couldn't suppress the surprise in his heart and screamed, "What? Underworld Artifact, Mr. Lu Xiang, do you mean that my bizarre encounter with it is because of the Underworld Artifact? "

"Of course." Lu Xiang said affirmatively, "I followed the scent of the Underworld's items to find you. In fact, before I officially met you, I already had a detailed understanding of the bizarre case that happened to you. For a shadow to be able to act independently from the human body and even commit a crime against the law, this is definitely not something that can be explained with common sense. "

Mr. Lu Xiang, please help me!" After being surprised, a faint glimmer of hope rose in Tsunami's heart, "I'm only temporarily released on bail. In half a month, I'll be sentenced to death. I don't want to spend the rest of my life in prison!" "I was really wronged. Please help me!

Poor tsunami. This time, he was really forced into a corner. Therefore, even if there was only a sliver of light in front of him that could wash away his grievances, he had to hold on tight!

"Tsunami, don't get too excited. Whether it is to find the underworld items or to seek justice, I will do my best to help you." Lu Xiang's eyes flickered with spring's warmth and honesty, "I know that I have been wronged by others and have an irrefutable feeling. I can understand you. "There's no time to lose, take me to the scene of the crime and the surroundings, maybe we can find something useful."

Once again entering the gloomy alley, the tsunami's heart trembled uncontrollably. Yes, this is it, this is where all the sins and evils begin.

"Mr. Lu Xiang, look. It's here." The tsunami stopped in the middle of the alley, "At that time, when I walked to this position, my body suddenly felt hot... "It was at this time that my shadow left my body, turning into a terrifying shadow that followed Lin Yue into her rented apartment."

"I can smell it. This place smells like an underworld item." Lu Xiang frowned slightly, "But, this aura is too weak, wait …"

With his eyes closed, Lu Xiang walked to the side of the wall of the alleyway with only his intuition and reaction towards the objects in the underworld. He opened his eyes and touched the mottled wall with his hand — there was a small, shallow depression the size of a fist. If one did not look carefully, they would not be able to see it.

"It's here!"

"Here?" Tsunami rubbed his eyes, "There's nothing here?"

"The Hades' Item was originally placed here, but it has now been taken away, leaving only a trace of its presence here!"

"What? He was taken away?" Tsunami was astonished, "Who took it away? It, what exactly is it? "

"I can't tell now." Lu Xiang's expression was somewhat gloomy, "However, I think that this thing must have some kind of evil power. It seems to be able to agitate the desires in one's heart, turning them into an illogical beast. Right, where is Lin Yue's residence? I want to go there and see. "

"Yes, just ahead. The police lifted the blockade a few days ago." "But, I, I'm not sure she'll let us into the house. After all, in her opinion, I'm the pervert who raped her!"

"I have to try everything!" Lu Xiang smiled indifferently, "Let's go!"

The distance from here to the small rented house was less than ten meters, but in this short distance, it was exceptionally difficult and slow for the tsunami to traverse. He didn't know what kind of appearance he should use to face Lin Yue, this woman he adored deeply, this woman he had hurt deeply unintentionally … … .Although the killer was not him, the black shadow was still his shadow!

However, this problem was quickly resolved — Lin Yue had moved out of the rented apartment and disappeared! Why had she moved? Would he not want to stay in this place filled with endless painful memories?

Lin Yue moved away. Coincidentally, the Underworld's item had also been taken away, which made Lu Xiang suspicious: Could Lin Yue be related to the Underworld's item?

The two people looked at each other, but Lu Xiang also saw a trace of doubt in the eyes of the tsunami.
