"Sixty kilometers is a bit far."
This place is sixty kilometers in diameter, and it is not easy to get here from the small town on foot alone.
"This is a bit abnormal. There is no one here. Why are they here?" Qian Xiaoling was full of questions.
There are no natural treasures here. They can only move stones and dig weeds. According to the families of the missing, they disappeared after going to work that day.
"The situation is still unclear. I'll have the director and his team continue their investigation. Let's just look for it here."
Zhou Yaning was going to send a message back, asking them to investigate the small town.
"Someone's coming."
As she took out her hand, Lu Chengchuan sensed someone in front of her. Everyone who heard what he said quickly put down their things, drew their weapons and prepared for battle.
"Who?"
As soon as Zhou Yaning stood up, she saw a ragged man running towards her from the front.
"I'm an operative from Team Thirteen of the Sili...Investigation Bureau...My name is Li Wan."
A young woman ran out, her body covered with wounds, her face pale, her lips bloodless, as if she hadn't had water for a long time, and she looked very miserable.
The other party introduced himself, but Zhou Yaning did not let down her guard. She waved her hand and asked Qian Xiaoling to check.
Qian Xiaoling picked up the tablet, looked at it for a while, and nodded to the captain.
She looked at the information on the tablet and found that there was indeed such a person in the third team. The photo on the tablet was very similar to the other person, so her identity could be confirmed.
"What did you encounter? Why did it become like this? Where are the others? Why are you the only one who came back?" Zhou Yaning asked several questions in a row.
"They...are all dead, killed...by...monsters...I hid, and the monsters couldn't find me..."
Li Wan staggered over. She had no weapons and was very weak. She looked harmless, and everyone gradually let down their guard.
Everyone wanted to go over and help, but Lu Chengchuan was the only one who stood there and looked at the woman coldly.
"Stop! This guy is a monster!"
Lu Chengchuan shouted, then raised his hand and circulated his internal energy to grab the woman.
The woman did not resist and let Lu Chengchuan grab her into the air. The expression on her face became more painful.
Without hesitation, everyone ran behind Lu Chengchuan.
"I'm not, why do you say that... ahem..."
The woman looked hurt and her tone became very resentful, as if she was hurt by Lu Chengchuan's words and wanted to win the sympathy of others.
But she didn't understand that for the people in Zhou Yaning's team, Lu Chengchuan's words would not be wrong, and nothing Captain Zhou Yaning said would have a higher priority than him.
From Anyang City to now, they are able to survive until now thanks to Lu Chengchuan.
"Stop pretending. You're crying."
Lu Chengchuan took out a crystal, and everyone knew what he was going to do when they saw this.
The moment the woman appeared, he felt something was wrong. After practicing the Qi-gazing technique, he saw the extremely dark Qi in the woman's body, and could basically conclude that the woman was possessed by a monster.
The woman still didn't understand and still pretended to be pitiful.
When the power of the Soul-Snatching Technique descended upon her, the woman's expression changed, becoming instantly ferocious. But before she could continue speaking, her soul was pulled out of her body.
A shapeless gray spirit struggled in the air, emitting a piercing scream. Zhou Yaning frowned, the sound making her feel very uncomfortable. Others felt an immense pain in their brains and couldn't help but cover their ears with their hands.
But covering their ears was useless, as the sound waves easily penetrated their palms and continued to attack their eardrums and brains.
Lu Chengchuan remained calm. The sound waves had no effect on him at all. He pulled the struggling soul over with force, and the monster soul was stuffed into the crystal without any resistance.
The monster was imprisoned, the harsh sound waves disappeared, and Qian Xiaoling and his companions were finally freed.
The terrifying roar disappeared, and several people sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.
After she was sure there was no danger, Zhou Yaning first glanced at the team members to make sure they were all okay. She walked over and asked, "Why hasn't her skin changed?"
The skin of several gray men she met before had changed. It was not because of paint, but because the color changed from the inside out. So she wondered why the possessed Li Wan did not change color.
"It has to answer all these questions." Lu Chengchuan said while holding the crystal.
"You go and ask. We probably won't be able to get anything out of it." Looking at the soul inside, Zhou Yaning could only hand over this important task to him.
They cannot threaten the souls inside, only Lu Chengchuan can do it.
"I need time." Lu Chengchuan replied.
So, Zhou Yaning said, "Rest here for two hours, just enough time for them to relax."
Her four team members were having a headache because of the monster's roar and needed some time to rest, so it was a good opportunity for him to interrogate the monster.
Lu Chengchuan found a place to sit down and began to interrogate with the crystal in his hand.
"Where are you from?"
After sitting down, Lu Chengchuan asked the first question.
The monster didn't respond. It was pounding on the crystal, trying to break free. But its attacks were useless. No matter how loud it roared, the crystal remained motionless.
This monster is quite powerful, probably a level 4 monster, but unfortunately it met Lu Chengchuan.
Seeing it like this, Lu Chengchuan knew that he had to teach it a lesson.
A trace of hot internal energy entered the crystal. The monster that was attacking the crystal sensed something was wrong. Before it could react, a burst of heat completely enveloped it.
The roar turned into a scream, and the monster's soul shrank rapidly, shrinking to a black ball the size of a peanut.
Lu Chengchuan held the crystal in his hand and waited patiently. After a minute, the monster's screams weakened, and its internal energy was exhausted at this time.
"Do you want to tell me? If you don't, I can still let you continue to enjoy this feeling." Without giving the monster time to breathe, Lu Chengchuan picked up the crystal and asked again.
"What on earth are you..."
This time the monster spoke, a hint of surprise in its weak voice.
"Don't worry about who I am. If you don't want to continue to be tortured by me, just answer my questions." Lu Chengchuan said in a cold tone with an attitude that did not allow for questioning.
This time the monster's soul didn't speak, and Lu Chengchuan knew what it meant when he saw this.
Since it wanted to be a tough guy, Lu Chengchuan fulfilled its wish and injected a bit of power into the crystal.
This time it was not internal energy, but the power of his mind.
The monster's soul felt like it was facing a great enemy. It wanted to guard against the harm caused by this trace of power, but Lu Chengchuan controlled everything about the crystal, including its soul.
In just a moment, its resistance collapsed and the power of the mind began to twist its soul.
The monster's soul was pulled wildly, changing from a sphere into various irregular shapes, and the monster felt that it was difficult to describe. This feeling was not pain, but it made it feel extreme torture.
A minute later, the monster, exhausted from mental strength, slowly recovered.
"What, do you still want to persist?"
