People on both sides stood in a row, testing each other with their eyes.
Lu Chengchuan stood in the dimness, with white light flashing in his eyes. After practicing the Qi-gazing technique, he saw wisps of Qi moving in front of him.
Ordinary people have only white Qi flowing in their bodies, while those with special abilities have an extra strand of blue energy.
He observed the four people who came from Sili. The blue energy in their bodies was similar to that of Zhou Yaning. As expected, they were from Sili. Their strength was comparable to Zhou Yaning's.
After looking at them, Lu Chengchuan shifted his gaze to Lin Jing, their captain. The Qi and blue energy in his body were thicker and more condensed. He should be a second-level psychic.
Lu Chengchuan looked around and basically guessed their strength.
The people in Sili are much stronger than those in Guangnan Province. It is worthy of being the central region of the country, with many talented people.
After seeing the people, Lu Chengchuan found a place to sit down. He sat down and meditated until dawn. When the sun rose, several experts woke up and prepared to set off into the city.
The cars were already ready, three cars, one for the expert group and one for the Sili people. Zhou Yaning and others led the way. The three cars returned to the main road and soon drove to the edge of Anyang City.
When they arrived here, the experts and people from Sili also saw the black fog all over the sky.
The black fog enveloped the city, even the tallest buildings were completely engulfed. If Zhou Yaning hadn't said that this was the entrance to the city, they wouldn't have believed it.
"The black fog emerged from the meteorite, initially outside, some distance from the city. Just yesterday at noon, the cultists performed a ritual, and blood mist descended from the sky, then moved towards the city.
There are no monsters appearing now, the black fog doesn't block signals, and it's not toxic."
The car stopped and the experts got out to observe the black fog that was close at hand, while Zhou Yaning explained it to them.
She didn't know much. Yesterday, the army was on high alert, fearing that monsters would emerge from the black fog. However, there was no sign of the monsters until now, and Anyang City was very quiet.
“Strange… Really strange…”
The sun was shining brightly in the sky and the weather was getting a little hot after eight o'clock. There was a black fog ahead. They could see the black fog rolling slowly outside, but there was no sign of it dissipating.
"What kind of ritual could have such an effect?"
They really didn't understand what kind of ritual could cause black fog to cover the entire city. It was too powerful.
After watching for a while, the investigation team entered the city. Three cars drove all the way to Anyang Research Institute. Several assistants were collecting samples outside. They were preparing to analyze the composition of the black fog.
While they were analyzing, the people in the Investigation Bureau were also busy. Lin Jing and his team were also part of the investigation team.
These experts are responsible for analyzing the black fog, and they also have to find ways to dispel the black fog. After settling the experts, they also prepared to go out for a walk.
"Captain Zhou, where do you think they'll be hiding?"
"It's unclear at the moment. We went up there to look for them, but they all disappeared. We went up there afterwards and there was no trace of them either. They might be in the city, or they might not be..."
Zhou Yaning could only guess. She hoped that the person was still in the city, so there was at least a chance to find him.
"The intelligence you received is too outdated. It happened after the incident, and you only found a little information. Let's go look for it too. Captain Zhou, you are more familiar with this place, so let's act together."
Lin Jing and the others also had to go out to investigate. The situation was unclear, and they couldn't stay inside and wait for others to send them information.
From the beginning till now, they have been in a passive position. Those cultists have done so many things, but the authorities have only made remedial measures after the fact and have been unable to prevent the things from happening.
He didn't want to blame the people from Guangnan Bureau. He knew that their abilities were limited and the situation was complicated, which led to the current situation.
But now that they are here, the situation can no longer be controlled by the cultists.
"Go to the west of the city to investigate?" Zhou Yaning did not refute. If they had a request, she would try her best to satisfy it.
Lin Jing nodded, turned around and called his men to set off, and Zhou Yaning led his men to follow.
"Captain, why should we act with them? Can't we do it ourselves?"
Inside the car, Lin Jing's subordinates were puzzled as to why they still had to act against the people from the Guangnan Bureau. If those people could solve a problem, they wouldn't have to come here.
"Shut up! Don't think they're incapable. The situation here is too complicated. The enemy is in the dark and we're in the light. What they can do is good enough."
Lin Jing told his men to shut up. His subordinates were very capable, but also very proud.
Those who can become operatives of the Investigation Bureau are all capable people. Most people can't even pass the preliminary examination, let alone enter the Investigation Bureau of the Sili Headquarters. They are the best.
It’s just that capable people often become arrogant involuntarily, and this is the case with these four people.
He also relied on his strength to subdue others. They were convinced by him, but not by outsiders.
"Captain, please don't be angry. I won't say anything more. I won't say anything more."
The captain spoke and the person who had just been complaining shut up.
Although he didn't say it, he still had that idea in his mind. In his opinion, the people from Guangnan Province were no match for them in Sili, whether in terms of ability or other aspects.
Seeing his eyes rolling around, Lin Jing knew what was going on in his mind, but as long as he didn't say it out loud and didn't make the situation too awkward, it would be fine.
"Captain, these guys are so arrogant! If you didn't know, you'd think they were the leaders coming for an inspection."
On Lu Chengchuan's side, Zhou Yaning's subordinates were also not interested in those people.
Chen Long, Qian Xiaoling, Zheng Xin, they all dislike those people who always have "contempt" in their eyes.
"Don't be so nosy. They're just here to investigate. They won't be working with us for long. If you're not convinced, then show up and show them you're not made of clay."
Zhou Yaning's expression remained the same, this little thing couldn't affect him.
Lu Chengchuan was listening on the side. He didn't understand the open and secret struggles here, and it didn't affect him.
"Brother Lu, what do you think of them?" He didn't want to get involved, but Qian Xiaoling asked him angrily, insisting that he give an explanation.
"Well... their captain is pretty good, and the rest are OK too."
Lu Chengchuan was stunned for a moment, and then gave his evaluation. This was an evaluation based on strength. In terms of strength, the people at Sili Headquarters were indeed the elite among people.
"Brother Lu! Why are you boosting others' morale?"
His comment made Qian Xiaoling even angrier. Wasn't he saying that she was not as good as them?
"I'm just saying it casually, don't be angry."
Lu Chengchuan almost couldn't help laughing. He didn't realize that Qian Xiaoling was so competitive.
"If you're not convinced, you can challenge the other party to a duel. Then we'll see who's the real deal. After the fight, you'll know everything."
He also wanted to watch the fun and not mind the trouble, so he simply encouraged them to challenge each other. After all, instead of thinking too much, it would be better to have a real fight. Whoever wins will be the winner.
"Then Brother Lu, will you help us?" Qian Xiaoling's eyes lit up, and then she asked Lu Chengchuan whether he would help them.
Unexpectedly, she would say that, and Lu Chengchuan's smile disappeared.
