"We Night Watchmen are the humans who deal with demons the most often, and in terms of experience, we are the most experienced," Captain Jiang said solemnly. "But this time, it was just a group of demons at the Wraith level, yet we've been wasting a whole month without any results... The higher-ups have been furious several times. We Night Watchmen have dispatched several squads to conduct a carpet search within the fifth to third rings of the capital... But every time we catch even the slightest clue, the other party immediately disappears without a trace, as if they knew in advance."
Meng Feifei crossed her arms and nodded earnestly, "Hmm... your suspicion is quite right, that's what we think too!"
Lin Nai looked calmly at Captain Jiang and asked, "Since you've said that, do you have anyone you suspect?"
Captain Jiang slowly shook his head: "Absolutely not... At least in my squad, they are all brothers who have been with me day and night for a long time. I know their character, and they would never betray the human race... As for the other squads, I don't know."
Lin Nai: "Moreover, it's not just your Fifth Ring Branch Bureau. Based on the area where these werewolves are operating, the Fourth Ring Branch Bureau and the Third Ring Branch Bureau also have the possibility of 'traitors'."
Captain Jiang: "That's how it is."
Linna held the victim's information in her hand and looked at it for a while.
A moment later, he stood up.
"Okay, I understand the basics."
Captain Jiang also stood up and said, "Um, Bai... if possible, could you please investigate and get some results as soon as possible?"
Linna asked in confusion, "Why? Is this matter urgent?"
"Several members of the International Association of Extraordinary Individuals are among the victims," Captain Jiang said, lowering his voice again. "The International Association of Extraordinary Individuals has put pressure on our authorities, demanding an explanation as soon as possible..."
"The International Association of Extraordinary Individuals..."
Lin Nai narrowed her eyes as she looked at the documents in her hand.
He had also dealt with people from the International Association of Extraordinary Individuals.
They are indeed a bunch of "awesome" things.
"OK".
Linnaeus put the documents away: "We'll do our best."
......
Leaving the Fifth Ring Road Night Watchmen branch.
Lin Nai looked at everyone: "So, what do you all think?"
"How can we come up with any ideas just like that?" Meng Feifei spread her hands: "Let's investigate separately first."
Yu Yuanyuan blinked and asked, "Do you think these werewolves might be the same group that attacked us in the forest outside the city?"
“Yes, that’s possible,” Truman said. “The werewolves that attacked us in the forest outside the city were very suspicious. Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be any demons in that forest.”
Fang Wu frowned and scratched his head: "But what's the difference between our investigation and looking for a needle in a haystack? Those werewolves are hidden among the people. There are so many people in the Fifth, Fourth, and Third Ring Roads. How are we supposed to find those demonic descendants?"
“If we can’t find them, we’ll just have to wait for these werewolves to hunt humans again next time,” Hua Lingze said leisurely. “Anyway, we’re not the Night Watchmen, and there are no spies among us, so the werewolves won’t know about our operation in advance.”
Upon hearing this, everyone remained silent, feeling that it seemed to make some sense.
This seems to be a last resort...
Without finding any clues and unable to take the initiative, we can only wait passively.
"In that case, let's split up and proceed."
Lin Nai slowly said, "We will patrol in groups of two or three, spreading out in the third, fourth, and fifth ring roads of the city. If those werewolves start their hunting operation, we can get to the scene as soon as possible."
Everyone: "Yes!"
......
Then, everyone split into pairs and began to act separately.
Mu Xun and Hua Lingze are in one group, Hua Yingwen and Meng Feifei are in one group, Fang Wu and Yu Yuanyuan are in one group, Chu Men and Bai Shou are in one group, and Monkey, Lu Xiaoda and Tong Yi are in one group.
Linna and Yewan'er were the last ones left out.
"Are you going to act alone?" the girl asked curiously. "Why did you group Monkey, Lu Xiaoda, and Tong Yi together, leaving someone left out in the end?"
“Who said I was acting alone?” Lin Nai tilted her head. “Wasn’t I in a group with you?”
"...Huh?" The girl was taken aback, then her rosy cheeks flushed red. "I...I'm your team leader, but according to the rules, I can't interfere with your mission this time..."
"I didn't ask Teacher Ye for help," Lin Nai smiled slightly. "I just wanted to be with Teacher Ye."
Night Child: "!!!"
"Hehe, I was just kidding." Lin Nai blinked. "Teacher Ye, you wouldn't be thinking of anything weird, would you?"
Night Child: "..."
The girl's face was like ripe lobster meat, pink and red. Whether she was angry or shy, it was hard to tell. Her cherry-red lips were slightly pouting, and she reached out her small hand to gently pinch Lin Nai's cheek, seemingly expressing her dissatisfaction with Lin Nai's teasing at this time.
"Alright, enough joking." Lin Nai: "Actually, I do have something important that I need your help with, Wan'er."
"But......"
"Don't worry, it's just a small favor, I won't use your abilities, Instructor."
Night asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Lin Nai opened a document in her hand and showed it to Ye Wan'er: "Look at this list, can you see where the problem is?"
That night, she took the list and looked at it carefully.
"Hmm... The victims were mostly low to mid-level superhumans, mostly level 1 and 2, with the highest-level mid-level superhuman being being killed being level 12."
A demonic descendant at the ninth level of the Wraith realm can barely hunt down a level 12 human superhuman.
If the level is higher, even a demon of the Wraith level would be no match for it.
Therefore, the highest-ranking victim was only level 12.
Night paused, then asked, "But what does that prove? It's not surprising that lower-level superhumans are easier to prey on; but attacking higher-level superhumans and eating their flesh would also rapidly increase the demon-blooded werewolf's cultivation, so that's also reasonable..."
“The key point is not the level,” Linna said. “Take a close look at the identities of the higher-level superhumans who were victimized.”
"Hmm..." Ye'er looked again at night, then suddenly paused, as if she had discovered something: "Those mid-level superhumans who were victimized, almost all of them are members of the International Superhuman Association??"
“That’s right.” Lin Nai narrowed his eyes. “That’s the key point.”
