Now Jun Li finally understood why Jiang Jincheng looked at him that way. To be honest, Jun Li himself was puzzled as to why people would die wherever he went.

It can't be that I am the reincarnation of some unlucky star!

"Uh... then..."

Jun Li scratched his head and laughed: "Then I won't disturb Captain Jiang from investigating the case... Did the murderer sneak into the fans? Then Captain Jiang..."

"Hey! Don't go!"

Free labor can't run away! Damn it, I couldn't bring myself to ask you for help! Now you came to me on your own! Then I'm not taking advantage of you!

Jiang Jincheng coughed and grabbed Jun Li, while Zhou Ju couldn't wait any longer and signaled Jun Li to go and queue first.

"You have a physique that kills people wherever you go. Shouldn't you reflect on this?"

Jiang Jincheng put all the blame for the death on Jun Li without blushing or beating his heart. He patted Jun Li on the shoulder and said, "Since you are here, as an outstanding citizen, our 'A City Death God', no... ahem... 'A City Handsome Guy', shouldn't he consciously assist the police in their investigation?"

"No... Hey! I'm not a policeman. I can catch ghosts, but why would I steal your job if I catch someone?"

“I didn’t say I was arresting anyone.”

Jiang Jincheng took a deep breath and briefly explained to Jun Li the bizarre deaths of the past month. The more Jun Li listened, the tighter his brows furrowed.

"Then it seems that we can't take the book from this book signing event! At least we can now easily find that people who own the physical book will die one after another!"

Jun Li is now hesitating whether to tell Zhou Ju not to buy physical books, but he discovered a problem...

"Our biggest headache right now is..."

Jun Li looked at Jiang Jincheng and said, "It's obvious that the book 'Endless Reincarnation' has a big problem, and the author He Jie has an even bigger problem!"

"Now we know that his fans died mysteriously because they bought his physical books, so the way to avoid it is actually very simple. We just don't buy his books."

"But the problem is that the circumvention method is easy, but the solution is difficult. If we want to solve this problem, we will inevitably need to read this book."

Jun Li held his chin and whispered, "And we can only read physical books. Obviously, those who read online novels are fine, but those who bought physical books are in trouble. The problem lies with the physical books."

"If we want to solve this matter, we must first buy the physical book, but if we buy the physical book, we are bound to be involved in this serial murder case."

Jun Li always felt that something was missing. He looked at Jiang Jincheng and asked, "Captain Jiang, have you and Xiao Ling read that book?"

Jiang Jincheng shook his head helplessly and said, "Do you think he and I are the kind of people who like to read online novels? Neither of us read novels."

"Tsk..."

Jun Li sighed, "Because I'm thinking about a question. The physical book is based on the content of the online novel, so there may be deletions, but at least the main storyline is the same. So why is it that the same content is fine when it is read online, but there is a problem when it is published as a physical book?"

"So we have to figure out why publishing a physical book would lead to a series of deaths. What is the difference between publishing a book and writing online?"

"and…"

Jun Li pondered for a moment and said, "Based on what you just said, it is obvious that this writer has a big problem. I agree with your point of view. He was able to write such an excellent work all of a sudden. It is very likely because the content of this book really happened to him. Only those who have experienced it personally can feel the despair and pain."

"But we have handled so many cases and we all know that such a bizarre incident cannot happen to a person without any reason. There must be a cause."

"So what did this writer do to cause himself to suffer such a tragedy? And now there is a very puzzling question..."

Jun Li was silent for a moment and organized his words: "The incidents we dealt with some time ago were not pranks, but curses."

"The factor that triggers a curse is that a person does something against common sense under certain conditions, which causes the natural world to form a completely new rule, which then befalls a certain person or region within a certain range."

"You mean we should first figure out whether this is a prank or a curse?"

Jiang Jincheng responded quickly, and Jun Li nodded as well: "That's right, because the two are similar but not exactly the same."

"As for the curse, you can think of it as the rules of a game. We have to complete a game within a specific area and within a specific range within the rules."

"And the reason why the game was formed was because someone did something that went against common sense because of a specific event, which led to the formation of this rule."

"As the name suggests, a strange incident is when someone did something that was against the will of heaven and earth, causing the deceased to have deep resentment that could not be dissipated and became obsessed."

"The rules of the game they set were formed under the condition that the Heavenly Dao originally gave the evil creatures the right to retaliate."

"To put it simply, strange events are the product of the laws of nature, while curse events are entirely caused by human interference, which creates a completely new law in nature."

"In essence, they are pretty much the same. Cursing is a kind of rule in itself, and strange events are rules originally established by the Heavenly Dao. Such rules must be followed by strange creatures. Otherwise, they will be considered to have violated the Heavenly Dao rules and will be deprived of the right to retaliate and directly eliminated."

Jiang Jincheng was confused by all the rules and didn't react for a long time. Xiao Ling was silent for a moment and looked at Jun Li: "Mr. Jun means... the curse is a new rule that is independent of the way of heaven, and the strange events follow the rules of the way of heaven."

"Yeah, that's right! That's what I mean!"

Jun Li patted Xiao Ling's shoulder approvingly: "You are really good! You think quickly! When Bai Ze told me this, I was stunned for a while!"

"But it's worth noting that this doesn't mean there are no weird things in cursed incidents. I said it's a new man-made rule, and this rule was created around an incident."

Jun Li cleared his throat and said, "So it can be understood this way. The Li Gui incident was a separate revenge of the Li Gui, mainly revenge on humans after the Li Gui was killed during his lifetime."

"As for the curse, it's not certain. The scope of events that cause it is too large. It's very likely that it will curse more than one strange creature at the same time, because it doesn't have a specific target for revenge. To put it bluntly, as long as you come into contact with the cursed world, you will be unlucky enough to be dragged into it."

"As for the spooky incidents, as long as they are not the most vicious and evil ones, they usually only take revenge on a specific target. Once they kill the person, that's it, and the resentment will dissipate."

Jiang Jincheng really wanted to curse at this moment. One evil creature was enough for him to deal with, and now you tell me that there might be more than one evil creature in the cursed incident, and once you are involved, you can't escape.

What a fucking rogue rule!

Jiang Jincheng silently greeted the ancestors of that damned He Jie, then shook Jun Li's hand sincerely: "Jun Li... our police station needs talents like you..."

"If nothing else, you are a role model for the people! The pillar of social security! You have to participate in this event even if you don't want to! Our city A is all relying on you, a handsome guy!"

"Ahem..."

Jun Li coughed uncomfortably and tried to pull his hand away but failed. Looking at Jiang Jincheng's expression, he could only laugh dryly: "Officer Jiang, please don't be like this... After all, we have been through life and death together..."

"Let's get in line now, and then we'll see the details after we get in through ticket check."

"I've just thought about it for a long time. If we really want to solve this incident, we can't avoid buying physical books. But buying physical books is like putting a time bomb on our heads. We don't know when death will come to us."

Jun Li bit his lip and thought for a while: "And now I have a guess, since people who bought the physical book are dying one after another, then their way of death or the occasion of death must be related to the book. We have to find out what the novel is about first."

Jun Li was silent for a moment and then said, "But I don't think we can all buy that book."

Jiang Jincheng immediately understood what Jun Li meant: "Indeed, if all of us bought the physical book, it would mean that everyone would be involved in this incident."

"If you were involved, that would be fine. You still have some self-defense skills, and you have more experience in solving incidents than us."

"If Xiao Ling and I also bought the physical book, and we were lucky enough to be the next one..."

Jiang Jincheng pinched his brows with a headache: "Then I guess we really died in the line of duty."

"Well... so what I'm thinking is that Bai Ze and I will each buy a copy, and then we'll take the time to finish reading the book within two days."

Jun Li stroked his chin and said, "We will try our best to remember all the details in the book, and then tell you the general content."

"This will ensure that you have a general understanding of the book and you won't be dragged into it for no reason."
