Jeff's words startled Lu Ning and the other two.

The next moment, Lin Xiao's body swelled up slightly as he looked at Jeff warily: "Lu Ning, has he become ill?"

After Jeff showed abnormalities, Lu Ning immediately checked Jeff's physical condition, but did not see the thick white mist inside his body.

Lu Ning shook his head: "I don't think so."

After a moment of confusion, Jeff quickly came to his senses.

He saw that he was surrounded by Lin Xiao and the other two, and his expression immediately became somewhat tense.

Jeff's eyes widened in surprise. "Captain Lin? What are you doing here? Where is this?"

Lin Xiao and the other two frowned again.

Lin Xiao looked at Jeff and said, "Have you forgotten what you did before?"

"W-What is it?"

“You’ve come to lead us to Zhu Jianyi!” Qiu Yuelin said.

"Zhu Jianyi?" Jeff looked blankly at him, then seemed to realize something, his eyes widened, and a look of horror appeared in them.

"Yes, yes! I've been found! He found me!"

Qiu Yuelin frowned and asked, "Who found you?"

Jeff's lips twitched slightly: "It was Zhu Jianyi! He found me first, and then..."

"Then?"

"Then I forgot what happened after that. When I came to my senses again, I saw Captain Lin and the other two."

Jeff's expression kept changing as he spoke to Lu Ning and the others.

Seeing that Lin Xiao and the other two seemed somewhat skeptical, he quickly said, "Captain Lin, you must believe me! I'm telling the truth!"

Lin Xiao frowned and said, "Whether it's the truth or not, we'll verify it ourselves."

Lu Ning then asked, "Since you don't remember what happened to you, why did you bring us here?"

Jeff paused, then shook his head, looking bewildered: "I...I don't know either. I've never been here before."

Lin Xiao and the other two exchanged a glance. Lin Xiao then turned to look at the door behind Jeff and shouted, "Get out of the way!"

Jeff quickly made way for him.

"Lu Ning, keep an eye on him. If he makes any unusual moves, kill him immediately."

Lu Ning nodded calmly, and two exquisite pistols appeared in his hand, namely Red Rose and White Rose.

Upon seeing the pistol in Lu Ning's hand, Jeff quickly raised his hands and said with a wry smile, "Sir, I'm a law-abiding citizen."

Lu Ning remained expressionless and did not answer.

Jeff was sweating profusely, his hands raised high above his head, too afraid to move.

Lin Xiao told Qiu Yuelin to step back, then stepped forward and slammed his foot heavily on the door.

boom!

With a loud crash, the door dented, the joint with the wall was torn apart, and the entire door was reduced to a slab of wood that flew into the room.

As soon as the gate was knocked open, Lu Ning and his group smelled a disgusting stench of decay.

Lu Ning looked up into the room.

After entering through the main door, there is a very small living room.

The living room has a small sofa and coffee table, and is only about five or six square meters in size.

At this moment, the coffee table and sofa were covered in blood and flesh.

A mutilated corpse lay quietly on the ground.

The corpse's face was that of Zhu Jianyi.

Zhu Jianyi was an elderly man with gray hair. At this moment, his expression was painful, and his eyes were wide open, as if he had suffered great torment before his death.

Seeing this horrific scene, Qiu Yuelin turned pale, gagged twice, and almost vomited.

Lin Xiao, Lu Ning, and Jeff didn't seem to find this situation particularly unusual.

Lin Xiao glanced at Zhu Jianyi's corpse and frowned: "Dead. It looks like he's been dead for quite some time."

Lin Xiao stepped inside, cautiously surveying his surroundings.

Qiu Yuelin took a deep breath and quickly followed.

Lu Ning pointed his pistol at Jeff and gestured to him.

Jeff immediately put on a fawning smile: "Sir... I really don't know anything, so could you please let me go?"

Lu Ning calmly said, "Go inside, or I'll shoot."

Seeing Lu Ning's calm expression, Jeff broke out in a cold sweat and quickly nodded, "Okay, okay, whatever you say, sir!"

After the group entered the room, Lu Ning discovered that in addition to Zhu Jianyi's body, there were two other bodies in the room.

The two corpses were human-shaped, but their skin had peeled off, and their bodies were covered in bloody muscles, clearly indicating that they were diseased.

The room had been through a fierce battle; the sofa had many dents, and the wooden coffee table was also full of holes.

There were also deep claw marks in some areas of the wall.

Lin Xiao frowned and said, "There was a battle here. These two infected individuals are at most level two, but they are not people that ordinary people can deal with. If Zhu Jianyi killed them, then Zhu Jianyi is probably an unregistered Awakened One."

Jeff nodded quickly and said, "He must be an Awakened One, otherwise I wouldn't have lost my memories after seeing him! It must be his doing! He must have some kind of mind control ability!"

Lin Xiao glanced at Jeff and said, "We will investigate the specifics. You will need to come with us for the investigation."

Jeff's face turned pale, and he said with a wry smile, "Can I not go?"

"no."

Lin Xiao and Qiu Yuelin went to the bedroom, kitchen, and other rooms to check them out, and soon they came out.

Qiu Yuelin said, "There were no signs of a struggle in the kitchen and bathroom, but it looks like they've been ransacked."

"The bedroom was also searched. It seems that it wasn't just those two infected people who killed Zhu Jianyi; there must have been others. What are they looking for?" Lin Xiao said thoughtfully.

"What could it be?" Qiu Yuelin asked, somewhat puzzled.
