dmims Chapter 1 Double Pupils
Chapter 1 Double Pupils
"Nine Heavens Immortals, soothe the body, purify the soul, enlighten the five internal organs, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise..."
Wisps of smoke curled upwards, accompanied by ethereal chanting.
Hidden within a modern building is an ancient Taoist temple, with red walls and gray tiles, exuding a rustic and mysterious atmosphere. The plaque above the temple reads: Zhenxian Temple.
At the incense table in front of the temple, believers stood in rows, their expressions solemn and dignified, circling around a kneeling man in the center.
A middle-aged Taoist priest, dressed in a purple and gold-patterned robe, wearing a lotus-shaped crown and gold-rimmed glasses, stood before the kneeling man, chanting incantations and making hand gestures, seemingly performing some kind of ritual.
The incantation grew louder and louder, and the surrounding believers circled around faster and faster, while the man in the center looked pained.
Suddenly, another Taoist priest walked up behind the man, and plunged a dagger inscribed with talismans into the man's back. The man's expression suddenly calmed down, and he walked into death with a smile.
The interior was dark and gloomy, the ancient temple was eerie, and the air was thick with the scent of sandalwood and blood... Incense, ancient temple, building, believers, killing... all combined to create a bizarre and sinister scene of a sacrificial ceremony.
This scene was transmitted to the Taipei Police Department by a hidden miniature camera.
This scene caused an uproar.
"It really was them. They were behind the recent murder of the foreign pastor..."
"Chief, I've found their information." The policewoman next to him typed rapidly on her keyboard, pulling up two files.
"Lin Daosheng and Huang Yifeng, natives of Kaohsiung, were the founders of the first advanced overseas company. Several years ago, they suddenly sold the company and returned to Taipei..."
The bureau chief looked respectfully at the young man in front of the computer. The man was pale, with regular features and long black hair.
This is their witness, and also a major financial backer of the police department and the chief.
Two weeks ago, a financial investor named Huang Bai donated NT$20 million to the police station, and the police chief himself also received a private "donation" from Huang Bai.
This person has only one condition: help him solve the recent bizarre death case and propose that it is a serial murder case.
The images transmitted today by the miniature camera indirectly confirmed his conjecture.
The chief was overjoyed to have such a generous benefactor, who also offered conditions beneficial to the police station, and immediately mobilized the most elite police force.
"Thanks to Boss Huang's clue, otherwise we wouldn't know how to solve the case... By the way, how did Boss Huang know it was them?"
Huang Bai looked away from the screen and said:
"Two months ago, I cooperated with them and discovered a clue. Chief, this is a murder case involving an illegal civilian gang. The other side has a large number of people, so we must deploy a large number of riot police, fully armed, equipped with riot shields, snipers, submachine guns..."
All of this was not a coincidence, but rather Huang Bai knew in advance that he was not from this world.
Thinking of this, Huang Bai subconsciously looked at his left forearm, where a talisman that was invisible to others was engraved on the inside of his forearm.
The pure gold talisman shimmered with light, its top inscribed with the words "Heavenly Decree" and its center with the words "Heavenly Order to Exterminate Demons: This will prevent the demons of this realm from achieving liberation and allow them to leave the realm in perfect order."
Huang Bai was unaware of the origin of the Heavenly Dao Edict, but it was this very item that brought him here half a year ago.
This is the world of the movie "Double Vision".
The film tells the story of Huang Huotu and a foreign detective investigating a bizarre murder case. During the investigation, they discover that the murderer is using an ancient and rare Taoist secret technique to kill people.
The ancient texts and secret techniques originated from the Zhenxian Temple unearthed in Jiaozhi. The Zhenxian Temple recorded a certain method of achieving immortality through corpse liberation. Only by undergoing the trials of the five hells—the Ice Hell, the Fire Pit Hell, the Intestine-Pulling Hell, the Heart-Gouging Hell, and the Tongue-Pulling Hell—can one transcend tribulations and ascend to immortality.
Those who aspire to immortality must use their innate double pupils to identify the "human demons" (evil people who have committed corresponding sins) who have committed evil deeds in the world, and send them one by one to the corresponding hell in order to complete their tribulation. After that, they can disintegrate into immortality.
According to the plot, the woman Xie Yali is a person with double pupils and is also the mastermind behind the scenes. She is the object of loyalty of the two Taoist priests.
What Huang Bai needs to do is prevent Xie Yali from achieving immortality through corpse liberation.
"Bomb disposal officers, submachine guns, snipers... these are just a bunch of ordinary citizens, there's no need to make a mountain out of a molehill..." The chief was somewhat embarrassed, but for the sake of the financial backer, he still picked up the walkie-talkie.
"All riot police are to proceed to the technology building. This operation is codenamed 'Exorcism'! I will personally go to the scene to direct the operation."
"Huang Huotu! You stay by Boss Huang's side and await orders!"
"Yes!!" A middle-aged man with a perpetually worried expression followed behind Huang Bai. He didn't say much, nor did he reveal any emotion.
Soon, police cars arrived at the scene at the technology building.
Huang Bai stood in the hall, watching the scenes coming from the front lines.
"How will you withstand the firepower from the authorities?"
After traversing this world, Huang Bai discovered that the history of this world in 2002 was basically the same as the original timeline.
So, taking advantage of his foresight regarding the stock market and the World Cup, he accumulated tens of millions of NT dollars in wealth, which he used up this time.
The surrounding noise fell silent as Huang Bai stared intently at the large screen.
He not only wanted to stop Xie Yali from undergoing corpse dissection, but also wanted the secret techniques for corpse dissection unearthed from the True Immortal Temple.
In the original story, Lin Daosheng only needed to recite a spell to acquire swordsmanship that could cut through iron like mud, almost wiping out the entire police force.
In Huang Bai's view, the fungal powder used by the True Immortals might be a kind of Taoist external elixir, which could not only induce hallucinations but also enhance physical constitution.
If one obtains this secret technique, one can unlock the door to extraordinary power.
"Don't move!!!"
"Hands up!"
Armed with submachine guns and with riot shields in front, the group suddenly broke open the gates of the Zhenxian Temple.
The man's body still lay in the courtyard, blood everywhere.
The scene fell silent instantly. The believers remained calm, their eyes fixed on the people who had broken down the door.
At this moment, Lin Daosheng drew his longsword. With a hum, the sword broke through the riot shield and severed half of the opponent's shoulder.
"Ah!"
Screams broke the silence, and the believers rushed forward.
Everyone was careless in the end.
"Fire! Fire!!" the chief ordered in a panic.
Fortunately, Huang Bai had warned them repeatedly beforehand, and even though they had let their guard down, they still reacted and immediately shot Lin Daosheng and Huang Yifeng to death.
The rest of the believers were either killed, injured, or captured alive, but not one of them knelt down and surrendered.
This fervent atmosphere left a deep impression on everyone present.
Soon, the group found a woman in white hidden underground.
The woman was pale, had short hair, and a bloody wound on her abdomen, from which a kind of mold seemed to be growing.
"The victim's name is Xie Yali. She suffered from a severe brain tumor since childhood and claimed that she could see her deceased sister..."
The group moved Xie Yali to the ward that Huang Bai had prepared for her in advance.
Huang Bai did not reveal Xie Yali's identity as the mastermind behind the scenes, but instead allowed the plot to proceed as in the original novel.
"It's almost over."
Huang Bai breathed a sigh of relief. Although there was a minor incident, the overall situation was good, with no major casualties.
He also kept the original protagonist, Huang Huotu, to avoid any further accidents.
He turned and went to a teahouse outside the police station.
Squeak.
Huang Bai brewed a pot of hot tea.
The door to the private room opened, and the bureau chief, accompanied by several trusted aides, entered carrying a suitcase.
"Boss Huang, these are ancient books we found at the True Immortal Temple, along with several bottles of unknown elixirs and a fungal sample taken from Xie Yali."
Thank you everyone.
Huang Bai handed over a thick envelope, which the bureau chief accepted with satisfaction.
"This is our duty. If it weren't for Boss Huang, how would we have solved this earth-shattering case?"
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the bureau chief left with his men.
The door closed, and Huang Bai's face calmed down; only one last step remained.
"The cunning and scheming Corpse-Dissolving Immortal, wait another lifetime."
He pulled out a remote control from his pocket, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, and pressed the button forcefully.
Six months of planning have come to an end today.
On the other side, in a VIP ward.
A pale-faced, short-haired woman lay on the hospital bed.
Beep beep beep...
Just then, a rapid electronic sound came from under the bed.
Wow!
Xie Yali opened his eyes, and found that he had two pupils, a condition known as double pupils.
boom!!!
A burst of flames erupted, instantly engulfing Xie Yali.
"No!!"
Xie Yali's face was contorted, his eyes filled with disbelief, and a distorted green light appeared around his body, blocking the first wave of flames.
boom!
Another explosion.
The flames completely engulfed Xie Yali's body.
Inside the teahouse.
Huang Bai rolled up his sleeves, revealing a golden talisman on his forearm that shone brightly, the text in the middle gradually fading away.
Once the exorcism of the demons is complete, you can return immediately.
"The Corpse Dissection Technique requires killing five people, and I interrupted it on the fourth one. It seems to have failed."
The Corpse-Dissolving Immortal is one of the Taoist immortals. The method of becoming an immortal through killing in the Twin-Pupil World should be an evil and heretical technique. The Corpse-Dissolving Immortal achieved through this method may be of an even lower rank.
Judging from the original plot, Xie Yali's sister didn't have much ability to interfere with reality, which is why Huang Bai dared to make his plans.
Of course, they were not destroyed; they simply began their next cycle of reincarnation.
But this has nothing to do with Huang Bai.
Huang Bai, clutching his suitcase, gradually faded into the distance.
call!
The strong wind blew open the doors and windows, causing the indoor temperature to drop by more than ten degrees.
Bang bang bang! !
The sound of hurried footsteps approached from afar. The newcomer was a waitress from the teahouse, holding a cleaver in her hand, her eyes bloodshot, as if she were possessed by something.
"Wow, that's fast. As expected of the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal. Until we meet again," Huang Bai said with a smile.
Whoosh!
The next moment, the yellow and white figures disappeared.
