"Suspicious person?"
Wang Zheng was somewhat surprised.
Dang Liantao continued driving without turning his head, replying directly: "Yes, according to our usual monitoring methods, if we find anyone with suspicious whereabouts or drastic changes in behavior, they will be listed as a key target for attention."
Although most of the time it is a misjudgment, there is currently no more reliable way to identify the Heavenly Demon.
That's why I strongly recommended you to the military region.
The bag in front of you contains the target's file. You can take a look first. Later, I'll introduce you to your teammates for this operation. You also need to change your clothes; you can't go out in your military uniform like this. This mission requires covert operations.
After saying that, Dang Liantao couldn't help but burst out laughing.
This made Wang Zheng blush with embarrassment.
Wang Zheng quickly took out the documents from the bag and started reading them to ease the awkwardness.
Tao Shen, male, 52 years old.
A native of Jiangbei, south of Beijing, he works as a repairman at Xinri Machinery Factory.
Ten days ago, he suddenly quit his job and used half a month's salary to buy the same lottery ticket.
Note: The lottery ticket has now been confirmed as the grand prize, and Tao Shen did not previously have a habit of buying lottery tickets.
He hasn't been home since then, and his family couldn't contact him. When they went to his workplace, they found that he had already resigned, so they called the police.
Tao Shen has not yet gone to the prize center to claim his prize. He is staying in a small guesthouse, not going out, not socializing, and relying on takeout for all three meals a day.
This person appeared listless, depressed, and mentally unstable, behaving erratically and frequently shouting that the end of the world was coming and that only by believing in God could one be saved.
However, no demonic aura was detected in any of the places where it operated.
...
Wang Zheng kept flipping through the document and found a photo at the bottom of the bag, which looked like a work photo.
The photo shows an honest-looking middle-aged man wearing ill-fitting work clothes. He looks somewhat reserved, and his face, which is not particularly old, is full of the wrinkles of life and the years.
Wang Zheng put down the documents in his hand and asked Dang Liantao, "Is this Tao Shen the person suspected of being possessed by a demon? Has anyone had contact with him?"
Dang Liantao nodded: "Yes, some of us pretended to be food delivery drivers and had contact with him, while others pretended to be police officers and tried to persuade him to go home, but he is not communicating with anyone right now."
He's neurotic all day long, constantly muttering about the end of the world, Allah, and salvation.
We initially suspect that the Heavenly Demon has begun to disrupt his thoughts.
Because we are worried about unforeseen circumstances, we have not yet told Tao Shen's family about the news.
Everyone in this small guesthouse is now one of our team members, but to avoid suspicion, a few of them are not Awakened.
Wang Zheng asked curiously, "So, in the past, we could only use this method of deducing the other party's movement trajectory to determine whether they were possessed by a demon? Haven't you researched any other methods?"
Dang Liantao replied helplessly, "If it weren't for you being here this time, we would still have to keep following him until he reveals a flaw or the aura of the Heavenly Demon."
As you know, if a demon possesses someone and doesn't use any abilities, we have no way of detecting them.
Wang Zheng nodded and didn't say anything more. He had already basically understood the work of Dang Liantao and his team.
This demon is truly troublesome. It is elusive, has no physical form, is highly lethal, has an unclear purpose, and is difficult to detect. Moreover, even if it is detected, non-elemental awakened beings cannot harm it.
While Wang Zheng was pondering, the car soon arrived at its destination.
As soon as Wang Zheng got out of the car, two people came up to him.
Dang Liantao quickly began to introduce the topic.
"Captain Shan Changxu, an elemental lightning attribute awakener."
"Captain Yu Shaoting, an elemental water attribute awakener."
Upon seeing the man and woman salute, Wang Zheng immediately returned the salute and then introduced himself:
"Wang Zheng, a healing-type awakened individual."
The short-haired, burly Shan Changxu immediately smiled and said, "We've heard Lieutenant Wang's name many times already. We'll need your help a lot in the future, so there's no need to be so polite."
Wang Zheng immediately replied, "Captain Shan, you're too kind. You can just call me by my name."
Shan Changxu laughed heartily.
"You've already told me to call you by your name, so why are you still calling me Captain?"
Wang Zheng immediately seized the opportunity: "Hello, Brother Shan!"
He always felt that these elemental awakeners might have their personalities influenced by the awakened elements.
He had met three lightning-type awakeners so far, and neither of them, Chu Tianxing and Chu Jingnan, had a good temper. Wang Zheng looked at Shan Changxu in front of him and guessed that this guy was probably also short-tempered.
Then, upon seeing another Captain Yu Shaoting, he became even more convinced that his deduction was correct.
Seeing Wang Zheng turn his gaze, the seemingly gentle and intellectual female water-type awakener also said, "Hello Wang Zheng, I am Yu Shaoting, I have long admired your name."
Wang Zheng also greeted her politely, "Hello, Sister Yu."
This was the first time he had ever seen an elemental water-type awakener. He had seen ice-type awakeners before, and he had also seen people who healed by emerging from water, but this was the first time he had seen a pure water-type awakener. He found it quite novel and couldn't help but steal a few more glances at her.
Yu Shaoting also noticed Wang Zheng's curious gaze and asked with a smile, "Is there a problem?"
Wang Zheng felt embarrassed after being caught spying, knowing that the other person must have considerable mental strength to be able to sense his subtle gaze.
So he scratched his head and told the truth.
"This is the first time I've met a water-elemental awakener. I'm a little curious, as I've never seen one before. I'm wondering how you would fight."
Wang Zheng's words immediately made all three of them laugh.
Dan Changxu kept patting Wang Zheng's shoulder: "Hahaha, you're so funny! You see how pretty our Xiaoyu is, and you're thinking about how to fight? I heard you're still in college? You must still be single at school!"
Wang Zheng: Keep cursing!
He wanted to take a step back to avoid the other person's hand, but he managed to restrain himself.
Wang Zheng was still a little unaccustomed to being in such close contact with people he had just met, but since he was also well-versed in "emotional intelligence," he managed to suppress his instinct to avoid them.
