Leng Muya thought of the Soul-Devouring Demon Seed from before and nodded, saying, "Jiaojiao is right. Those who have been marked with the Demon Spirit Mark are probably not just simple puppets. The Demon Spirit mentioned 'master' before it died, and the Soul-Devouring Demon Seed can continue to live after the host dies... I suspect that these marks are some kind of medium."
Zhang Zekai's expression turned grave: "Team leader, are you saying that these people's bodies might just be containers? The real danger might only erupt after they die?"
Rong Jiaojiao said, "In other words, after they die, those Soul-Devouring Demon Seeds will spread out, reside in other people's bodies, continue to absorb other people's essence, and continue to breed other Soul-Devouring Demon Seeds?"
Chen Pengfei suddenly looked up: "Wait! If that's really the case, then what about those people in the warehouse..."
Rong Jiaojiao's heart tightened: "They may have been implanted with demonic seeds, and once they die, the demonic seeds will erupt!"
Leng Muya made a quick decision: "Although we cannot be sure whether they have demonic seeds, we must make preparations in advance."
"Chen Pengfei immediately reported his guess."
"yes."
Chen Pengfei quickly tapped the transmitter, his fingers flying across the keyboard as he transmitted urgent intelligence.
Leng Muya looked at Rong Jiaojiao: "Jiaojiao, after the operation, immediately set up the spatial barrier you used before. Do not participate in the battle, and do your best to maintain it."
Rong Jiaojiao replied solemnly, "Yes, Senior Uncle."
Seeing that he had no task assigned to him, Zhang Zekai pointed at himself and asked, "Team leader, what about me? What am I supposed to do?"
Leng Muya glanced at him and said, "Those people are all ordinary people. The main concern is that they might have Soul-Devouring Demon Seeds growing inside them. You can take care of cleaning them up."
Zhang Zekai then smiled and said, "Okay, I will definitely complete the mission."
At this moment, Chen Pengfei also received a reply from headquarters. He said, "Team leader, headquarters wants us to make advance arrangements and take control of the people as soon as the goods are loaded."
"Okay, let's go there now. First, drive to that area, then we'll sneak over there."
After all the commotion, night has fallen, and the warehouse area by the dock is shrouded in silence.
Leng Muya parked the car in a secluded spot 500 meters away from the target warehouse, and the four of them quickly got out of the car.
"Proceed according to plan," Leng Muya said in a low voice, taking out four invisibility talismans and distributing them to everyone. "Remember, don't alert them."
"yes."
The four arrived near the warehouse, where Rong Jiaojiao saw that the warehouse door was wide open and workers were loading things onto the ship.
Leng Muya used her divine sense to examine the contents of the box and discovered that while the surface layer consisted of ordinary daily necessities, the inside contained various antique porcelain items and other treasures.
There were even a lot of gold and silver jewelry among them, Leng Muya cursed inwardly.
Seeing that the number of people was even greater than those seen in the afternoon, Rong Jiaojiao carried Ziling out and said, "Ziling, can you see if any of those people have been possessed or inhabited by demonic spirits?"
After observing for a while, Zi Ling transmitted her voice: "Master, there are a total of eight people who have been marked with the Demon Spirit Mark."
"Can you tell whether these people with the demonic mark have also been implanted with the Soul-Devouring Demon Seed?"
Zi Ling asked, "Master, what is the Soul-Devouring Demon Seed?"
Rong Jiaojiao could only quickly and simply describe the situation of the Soul-Devouring Demon Seed. After reading it, Zi Ling shook her head: "Master, apart from the demonic spirit mark in their souls, they do not have the Soul-Devouring Demon Seed you mentioned."
Rong Jiaojiao felt slightly relieved upon hearing this, but Zi Ling changed her tone and said, "That person wearing glasses, who looks like a junior leader, is indeed possessed by a demonic spirit. However, his entire body is tainted by the aura of the demonic spirit, so I cannot determine whether he has been implanted with a Soul-Devouring Demon Seed."
Rong Jiaojiao...
Does Zi Ling breathe heavily when she speaks?
She relayed Zi Ling's words to the other three, who breathed a sigh of relief, as long as not everyone had been implanted with the Soul-Devouring Demon Seed.
Leng Muya transmitted her voice, "It seems that planting the Soul-Devouring Demon Seed requires certain conditions, but we cannot be careless."
"While the demon spirit is directing from afar, let's sneak in and collect the explosives. Once they've finished moving them, we'll take control of everyone, regardless of whether they've been marked by the demon spirit."
"yes!"
The three people and the mink nodded in unison. Leng Muya then added, "Jiaojiao's battle plan remains unchanged, understand?"
"I know, my task is to set up a barrier."
Leng Muya nodded and was the first to affix an invisibility talisman, followed by the others.
Rong Jiaojiao not only put one on herself, but also put one on Ziling.
The group silently slipped into the warehouse, the night enveloping them like thick ink, and they moved like ghosts among the mountains of goods.
The four went directly to the northeast corner of the warehouse and found several locked metal boxes.
Zhang Zekai took out a thin wire from his pocket, flicked it a few times, and the lock opened with a click.
They opened several boxes in a row, and they found they were full of explosives.
"Good heavens!" Chen Pengfei gasped.
The box contained dozens of bags of explosives, enough to raze the entire dock to the ground.
Leng Muya took out a spatial talisman and quickly stored all the explosives inside.
"Continue the search and see if there are any other dangerous items."
Just then, Zi Ling suddenly bristled: "Master, watch out! Someone's coming!"
Even without its reminder, everyone held their breath and hid close to the shelves.
Two armed guards walked over, waving flashlights.
"Strange, I think I heard some noise here just now," a guard muttered.
“You’re too tense,” another said dismissively. “Even rats don’t come to this godforsaken place.”
Once the guards had gone some distance, Leng Muya sent a telepathic message to everyone to continue, and the four of them got back to work.
After searching the area and finding that all the goods were normal, the four of them stopped and waited for the goods to be unloaded.
"All the goods have been moved!" came a shout from outside. "Everyone, assemble!"
The four quickly hid on higher ground, where they saw more than twenty workers lined up in a row. Eight of them had blank stares and were puppets that had been marked with demonic spirits.
A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses came out, holding a notebook to count the number of people.
"Now!" Leng Muya gave the order.
Rong Jiaojiao instantly deployed a spatial barrier, enveloping the entire warehouse. The moment the barrier formed, the eight controlled workers suddenly let out inhuman roars, their eyes turning bloodshot, and they began attacking frantically in all directions!
"Attack!" Leng Muya drew her copper coin sword, and in a flash of golden light, she had subdued the two men.
Zhang Zekai's talisman danced in his hand, accurately affixing it to the forehead of the person being controlled.
Chen Pengfei also acted quickly, moving the other ordinary workers to a safe area.
As soon as they used their spiritual power, their figures appeared. The guards who had just been holding guns were terrified and raised their guns to fire.
Rong Jiaojiao reacted quickly, unleashing a burst of spiritual energy that instantly turned the guns in their hands into scrap metal.
