I'm bombarding the Supernatural World with my firearms
Chapter 91: Chapter 90: "Taboo Item Name": Undying Loyalty.

Zhou Shen didn't continue, he simply pulled out a blood-stained dagger encased in a white plastic bag from his chest and handed it to Chen Miao, "The follow-up to this incident is beyond the Enforcement Bureau's authority to handle; too many people have died, and it's a bit hard to suppress."

"Miao, if you focus your consciousness on this dagger, it will appear as a mass-produced common item from the factory, with nothing special about it."

Chen Miao didn't say a word. The moment his consciousness focused on the dagger, a panel popped up in front of him.

「Taboo Item Name」: Undying Loyalty.

「Taboo Item Rank」: E Rank.

「Taboo Item Effect」: Within a 10-meter radius of this dagger, when a person is in a state of emotional breakdown, pain, sadness, or other extreme negative emotions, the desire to die in their heart will be infinitely amplified.

「Taboo Item Introduction」: "On that rainy night, I died."

「Formation Condition」: 18 people commit suicide with the same dagger.

"Taboo Item?"

"Yep."

Zhou Shen nodded, let out a sigh, and said with a headache, "I know what you're thinking, but this isn't some supernatural event. These people did indeed die for love, although I don't know what's going on with their circle for 18 people to consecutively die for love."

"Let's not mention the courage it takes to face death."

"The relationships are messed up enough."

"To fool around to such an extent and still claim it's pure love, who would believe that if we told them?"

"And to think a 'Taboo Item' was formed; Taboo Items are a type of special object, not produced in secret realms or major events. They only come into being under certain special circumstances when key ordinary everyday items undergo a transformation and come to possess some miraculous effect, most of which are negative, offering no assistance to one's combat power."

"But once these Taboo Items enter the life of ordinary people, they can still cause a tremendous impact, so in most cases, cases involving Taboo Items are transferred to the Events Bureau right away, and then the Taboo Items are sealed away."

"Just died for love?" Chen Miao still found it difficult to believe. He always felt that the whole event was filled with irrationality beyond the understanding of ordinary people.

"Yep."

Zhou Shen nodded again to confirm, "There wasn't any factor influencing their desire for death. These people simply wanted to die on their own accord, and under the influence of their emotions, this Taboo Item was born."

"The Fengtian City Government has sealed away quite a few Taboo Items over the years."

"These Taboo Item incidents are quite rare; the last time I dealt with one was a year ago, when an old man poisoned his entire family to death before he passed. His family members were all severely disabled, unable to care for themselves, and feeling that his time was near, he decided to send his entire family on their way."

"A D Rank Taboo Item, 'Neglected Corner Person,' was born."

"The person who carries this Taboo Item will subconsciously be ignored by everyone else."

Zhou Shen spoke in a lower voice, "As far as I know, this Taboo Item is now in the hands of Sang Biao, the 'Mechanical Demon' from Fengtian City, that Level 22 gunman officially recruited by the Fengtian City Government."

"Basically, Taboo Items only have a small chance of forming during intense and extreme emotions."

"Like this time."

"..."

Chen Miao nodded to show he understood, but his eyes narrowed slightly as if pondering something. After a long silence, he spoke softly, "If I wanted this Taboo Item, would there be any room to maneuver?"

"It's difficult."

Zhou Shen hesitated a bit before saying, "The Enforcement Bureau doesn't have the authority to handle such cases; they must be transferred to the Events Bureau, and this isn't something we can cover up. I don't have the authority in that area, and once the case is transferred, the 'Taboo Item' will also be sealed away in the Taboo Item Vault."

"I'm just a lowly Deputy Director of the Law Enforcement Bureau after all."

"After you broke the record in that secret realm today, can you take office today?"

Zhou Shen's expression instantly became serious, "As long as the record is broken, I can take office at any time!"

"Can the deputy director of the Events Bureau suppress this matter?"

"Of course, Miao, this dagger is prepared just for you."

"Is it that simple?"

"Certainly. For the deputy director of the Events Bureau, such matters are insignificant."

Chen Miao laughed and took out the Cursed Doll given to him by Zhou Shen last time, passing it over, "The attack stored in here should be enough for you to break the record. I was planning to replace you today anyway; since you're here, it's convenient to give it to you."

"I'll hold on to the item first."

"I'll leave this matter to you. And, if possible, try to keep people away from this graveyard. Everything you saw in the graveyard today, well... try your best to suppress it. Do you understand what I mean?"

His reason for not wanting the Events Bureau to come was partly because he wanted to keep this Taboo Item.

Although it seemed to have an average effect.

But when facing some difficult enemies, it might be possible to break through their emotions and possibly drive them to suicide. As for how to break through an enemy's emotions, there's always a way, like...

Dishonorable methods.

He would not resort to such means, being a person of Morality. He couldn't do such things, but people like Yuan Buping could. Their hands getting dirty had nothing to do with him; so far, he had not done anything illegal.

The second reason was that his main base was still in this graveyard, and he didn't really want his lair to be exposed like this.

However, it was not a solution to keep things this way forever. It was time to consider changing his lair.

...

The noisy crowd at the entrance of the graveyard dispersed, and the bodies of the 18 deceased were buried together in a grave in the graveyard, without spending any money.

"This is quite a bargain," grumbled Hungry Monkey, who had been directing Yuan Buping and others to dig the hole, "So many people didn't spend a dime and got a grave. It cost me a whole 80,000 credit points to buy this tomb chamber."

Chen Miao also felt slightly embarrassed as he received 1,800 Star Coins from the old security guard at the entrance booth. It was from a deal he made with the old man a few days ago, 100 Star Coins for burying one person.

18 people, exactly 1,800 Star Coins.

Truth be told, he felt rather uncomfortable taking this money, but since it was offered, he would not refuse it. He had just been so shocked that he had almost forgotten a very important matter and immediately sent a message to Zhou Shen.

'Director Zhou, I remember this family didn't have many members, and they were fairly well-off. Now that they've all committed suicide, how will the family's assets be handled? Is anyone taking care of it?'

Asset appropriation.

A common practice since ancient times.

The reply from the other side was quick.

'Miao... it's difficult to intervene in this matter. Fengtian City has people who specialize in appropriating assets from extinct families. These people have very big backgrounds, and their cake is hard to touch.'

'Damn, that's utterly immoral. There are still people who specialize in asset appropriation these days? How despicable. How big can their background be?'

'Real power brokers in the government, and not just one of them.'

'Such big shots are involved in asset appropriation?'

'Not just asset appropriation... these days, there's no family assets they can't get their hands on if they have the power.'

'Nobody cares?'

'Who would care?'
