Putting aside this joking idea, let's get back on track with the plan.
That evening, Wu You took some time to go to the Eastern Realm.
Wang Fugui continued to quietly develop his business and network of informants.
He rushed over as soon as Wu You appeared at the private residence.
Although there are still many refugees in the city, there are far fewer than last time.
It's estimated that the rumors of the blood dragon's appearance and the subsequent strange winds and thunder accompanied by beast roars scared away many people.
Land prices in the city have seen an unusual drop, and the drop is quite significant.
Wang Fugui also took the opportunity to acquire some locations for business and intelligence purposes.
Its first words to Wu You were...
"My lord, as you predicted, the martial arts forces did not go to hunt down the Blood Dragon in Jiangzhou within the stipulated time."
The so-called 10-day agreement only applies to the premise that there is only one Blood Dragon.
Once the "monster battle" outside Leping City becomes known to all parties, they will certainly no longer recklessly gather in Jiangzhou according to the original plan.
"Well, let's not talk about that now. I've brought you some capable helpers this time."
Wang Fugui understood instantly.
However, Wu You did not immediately summon the creatures he had created, but instead performed alchemy at his private residence.
He hadn't forgotten about improving the synchronization rate.
After Wu You finished his focused drawing and alchemy, five mermaids and five vampires appeared in front of him and Wang Fugui.
Two of the vampires are actually handsome versions of Wang Fugui's two former employees.
These 10 advanced bronze-level creatures have been created.
Wu You vaguely felt that he was more at ease in this world, not physically, but in a subtle, almost imperceptible way.
Thinking about it again, it feels like I've returned to how I was before.
While accelerating the expansion of his influence in the Eastern Realm, he couldn't stay here any longer, lest he attract the attention of a Silver-level aberrant entity.
...
"Wa ...
On a street near Manhattan, New York, outside the alley behind a bar.
Several police cars arrived at the location with sirens blaring.
Prior to this, some police officers had already arrived at the location.
Just hours ago, a murder occurred in this alley.
Similar locations have consistently exhibited high crime rates in the United States.
Alcohol, combined with hallucinogenic drugs or even narcotics, has long been an indispensable part of nightlife for American teenagers and young adults.
Being dispatched here in the middle of the night after receiving a call, American police officers, known for their strong personalities, are certainly not in a good mood.
A Black detective and his partner got out of a patrol car a little further back.
Jobri and Bain, each carrying a cup of hot coffee, slipped into the yellow security cordon.
The former took a sip of coffee and then asked the police officers who arrived at the scene first.
"Hey buddy, how's it going?"
The officer turned and looked at the scene inside before answering him.
"A drunkard died, and a young girl reported it to the police."
"Oh, what's their relationship? Lovers?"
Bain interjected with a question.
The police officer's expression was a little strange.
"Uh, no, it seems this drunkard originally intended to sleep with this girl. You should ask her for details."
Bain and Jobry exchanged a glance, swallowed their coffee, and went inside.
"Excuse me, please move aside, thank you."
Upon seeing the two enter, a female forensic detective, who had arrived earlier, greeted them.
"Jobri, Bain, it's so good to see you."
The two greeted each other, then looked at the deathly pale corpse on the ground.
He then turned his gaze to the girl who had clearly only recently calmed down and was still shedding tears.
Bain, who considered himself handsome, handed the coffee to Jobri and then walked over to the girl.
The police officer next to him handed him a brief record he had made earlier. Bain quickly glanced at it and then handed it back before turning to the girl.
"Madam, I'm Detective Bane. You're the one who filed the report, right? Could you describe what you witnessed to me again?"
The girl turned her gaze to the police officer beside her, who nodded to her.
"My name is Marley Auburn, and I work as a cashier at a fast-food restaurant. I came to the bar with my colleagues today..."
As she narrates, Bain puts herself in her shoes.
An ordinary working girl comes to a bar to relax with her colleagues after a day's work.
She parted ways with her colleagues at the bar entrance and waited for a taxi alone.
However, not long after, someone suddenly covered his mouth from behind and dragged him into this alley.
Her terrified cries for help went unheard.
But as the drunkard pinned her to the ground, she saw a person hanging upside down from the bottom iron bar of the fire escape staircase above the alley.
"Wait! You mean that person is hanging upside down? Over there?"
Bain interrupted the girl's narration and looked up, pointing to the iron pole above.
At this moment, Jobri also came up and listened together.
"Yes, that's it. He was hanging upside down like that, and I felt his eyes were fixed on me and the drunkard. That look was more frightening to me than what the drunkard was doing."
Bain rested his chin on his hand, took the coffee from Jobri's hand, and took a sip.
“Jobri, weren’t you a Marine? Try hanging it up there.”
"Believe it or not, I'll shoot your head off?"
Jobry said this very seriously, which made Bain laugh.
"You don't believe me?"
The girl got a little excited.
"Did you think I was drunk too, that I was on marijuana?"
Bain raised his hands and jokingly said to the girl.
"No, no, ma'am, please don't be agitated. We do believe you. My 6-year-old brother saw Spider-Man last week. He could very well come to your rescue right now, hahaha."
Seeing the girl's anger, Bain coughed.
"So, ma'am, and then what happened? That person came down, killed the rapist, and then saved you?"
"What I saw wasn't Spider-Man, and that person didn't have any spider webs. He was hanging there, looking more like a bat than a superhero!"
"Okay, ma'am, we believe you, please continue."
Jobry stepped in to smooth things over, glaring at Bane, who innocently shrugged.
The girl calmed herself down.
"That person jumped down from above and shoved the drunkard aside."
At this point, the girl showed a frightened expression.
"Then he grabbed me!"
"I don't know what he's trying to do, but I'm sure it's not to save me!"
Bain's smile faded.
"Uh, so how did you escape?"
The girl glanced at the drunkard's corpse.
"I should thank him. This drunkard had a gun. He pointed the gun directly at the other man, and then I saw the person who grabbed me suddenly pounce on the drunkard."
“I was terrified, so I immediately ran out and went into the bar, then called the police. I only dared to come out of the bar after you arrived.”
Bain interjected, "And then this drunkard died, and the person you mentioned disappeared too?"
The girl nodded.
After thinking for a moment, Jobri asked again.
"Madam, I've noticed you keep using the term 'that person' to describe it. So, was it a man or a woman you met?"
The girl shook her head.
"I don't know, I couldn't tell at the time. He was definitely white and very good-looking."
