Xia Bing heard Yang Yan's words and couldn't help but furrow her brows.

The clothes weren't an issue, but if she had to take off her pants, it would truly embarrass her.

Even though she was still wearing long underwear underneath, what woman would want to disrobe in front of so many men?

"Do I really have to take them off?"

Xia Bing looked at Yang Yan, gritting her teeth as she asked.

"Yes! If you want to learn the truth, you must take them off."

Yang Yan wasn't in the mood to admire Xia Bing's graceful figure; he only wanted to find the mastermind behind this and use their soul to light the Sky Lantern.

Xia Bing hesitated just a bit before starting to take her pants off.

The other police officers were astonished, watching Xia Bing.

If it were any other time, they might have thought it was a stroke of luck, but now no one was in the mood.

"Brother Liu, do we need to take them off too?"

A young officer beside Liu Jun asked.

Liu Jun was also taken aback, watching Xia Bing removing her pants, then gritted his teeth and said:

"Take them off! Don't you want to know who's behind this? Besides, if Captain Xia is doing it, what are you afraid of?"

Then, a group of men started taking off their pants.

Some, due to their physique, weren't afraid of the cold, so they only wore one layer of pants.

To avoid awkwardness, they directly stepped out, standing at the door to help hand over items to those inside who were undressing.

Soon enough, everyone had taken off their uniforms and whatnot.

"What are you going to do, can you start now?"

Xia Bing asked impatiently, her delicate body trembling slightly from the cold.

"Close the door and turn off the lights! What happens next may challenge your perceptions, but please don't speak carelessly, as the consequences could be severe."

Yang Yan said solemnly.

After hearing Yang Yan's words, everyone present swallowed hard.

They sensed that this young man before them might really be some kind of shaman.

However, if they could witness something, everyone was still very eager.

As Liu Jun closed the door and turned off the lights, Yang Yan drew the curtains.

The room was pitch black.

While everyone's hearts were pounding, Yang Yan began murmuring something.

Then, something magical happened.

Though the lights weren't on and the curtains were drawn, the room gradually began to brighten.

As Yang Yan's voice grew louder, the light in the room grew brighter.

In an instant, it was as if everyone stopped breathing, only the pounding heartbeat resonated with Yang Yan's chanting.

At last, Yang Yan suddenly shouted:

"If not now, then when?"

As soon as the words fell, a gust of Yin Wind swept through the room, and suddenly there were two more people.

Or, more accurately, two ghosts!

And no matter their look or attire, everyone was very familiar, almost able to call out their names instantly—

Black and White Impermanence!

"Who is so bold? How dare you force open the ghost gate to summon us two up here?"

The Black Impermanence, with the hat that read "Peace under Heaven," glared and coldly demanded.

"I apologize for troubling you two ghost messengers, but I have encountered a problem here and am busy resolving it, so I had no choice but to invite you two to the world of the living."

Yang Yan said, bowing slightly to the Black and White Impermanence.

As Black and White Impermanence appeared, the officers in the room were already stunned.

They had never imagined that Black and White Impermanence truly existed in the world.

Fortunately, they were all seasoned detectives, accustomed to walking the edge of life and death, and familiar with corpses and such, so their courage had been honed.

Moreover, Yang Yan, with his unfathomable abilities, helped them stay calm to some degree.

Now, there was more excitement than fear.

To witness Black and White Impermanence as living people was, after all, a kind of blessing!

After hearing Yang Yan, Black and White Impermanence quickly exchanged glances, then began conversing in a language no one could understand.

"There's no need to mutter, I am Moonlight. Due to some reasons, I'm not complete right now, so I may seem a bit strange."

Yang Yan, understanding their language, straightforwardly revealed his identity.

"Moonlight? Has a new era arrived?"

White Impermanence frowned and said.

White Impermanence's real name is Xie Bi'an, attributed with Yang, wearing a hat that says "See Wealth." He's also known in folklore as the Side Wealth God.

It's said that if you see him and aren't dead yet, you'll become wealthy.

But how hard is it not to die after meeting White Impermanence?

Not to mention anything else, just White Impermanence's long tongue is enough to terrify anyone.

But if you look at these police officers, not only aren't they afraid, but they're intriguingly examining him.

This is the Side Wealth God, after all!

Now they don't have to worry about having their souls captured, who wouldn't be pleased?

"Whether a new era is coming or not, I don't know, but I am indeed the current Moonlight."

Yang Yan said in a deep voice.

"Why have you summoned us here? Even if you are Moonlight, you cannot casually break the barrier between worlds; you must understand this violates the Heavenly Dao."

It was Black Impermanence speaking.

Black Impermanence's name is Fan Wujiu, attributed with Yin, with a fierce appearance.

Notably, he shows no mercy to those violating laws or bearing guilt, hence the alias Fan Wushè.

And now, Yang Yan had indeed violated the Heavenly Dao, so a warm welcome wasn't expected.

"Let's leave those matters for later. I just want to know, are you two the ones who took away the souls here?"

Yang Yan, seeing the two ghost gods asking questions as soon as they appeared, was getting impatient.

Initially, Black and White Impermanence hadn't noticed the situation here after being forcibly summoned up, but after Yang Yan's inquiry, they surveyed their surroundings.

Soon, both showed expressions of shock.

"Is this... skinning?"

White Impermanence exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes! I only know it's a form of sacrifice, but I'm not clear on its exact purpose, so I had to ask you to come and take a look."

"Do you have any insight on this place, can you provide some leads? Also, where have their souls gone? There are things I wish to ask them."

Yang Yan asked earnestly.

"How could this happen? Who would be so audacious to commit such a cruel act within Huaxia?"

Black Impermanence said in shock.

Yang Yan, seeing that neither of them directly answered his questions, felt his anger rising steadily.

I called you here to get clarifications about this place, not to let you question everything.

If I knew who did it, would I need to call you here?

At this point, the temperature in the room was getting increasingly colder, and not just the police officers but even Black and White Impermanence felt the chill.

They turned to look at Yang Yan, whose eyes had changed to a moon-like silvery white.

Moreover, Yang Yan was emitting a kind of power that made even them feel apprehensive.

"I say, have you two not communicated with the living for so long that you've even forgotten how to interact with people?"

When Yang Yan spoke again, every word seemed to bring an icy sharpness.
