"This is where the incident happened," Li Shu pointed at the village and told the powerful officials. "The people who killed the hero are still inside. If you want to act quickly, do it now. At daybreak, they'll leave and go into hiding, and it'll be troublesome to find them then." Despite the brazenness of the video, those people were still deeply afraid of Jiuzhou. They had been observing Jiuzhou's actions, and when they discovered that the authorities hadn't immediately banned the provocative video as usual, but had allowed it to fester, they panicked. If they suppressed it, it meant there was still room for reversal. If they didn't, and it was allowed to spread like this, causing such a huge uproar, it meant the authorities would definitely intervene to redress the situation. After convincing themselves with their connections, the troublemakers decided to leave at daybreak and hide for a while. But they had never expected Li Shu and his men to arrive so soon. After all, the village was nestled deep in the mountains and forests, isolated from the outside world. There was no road, not even a signal. Without a familiar guide, finding this place would take at least ten days, half a month. Those familiar with the area were currently in the village. They had been under guard since the incident. Consequently, these people weren't in a hurry, and they had no idea the enemy was so swift, cheating, relying on the master's calculations to sneak their way here silently. "How many people have you deployed in total?" Li Shu glanced around the village and turned to ask the powerful official. Judging from the buildings, there were at least a hundred people in the village. If she, the powerful official, and the other two took action, these hundreds would be a far cry. But when they arrived, Old Qin had specifically instructed them not to act rashly. This was to prevent the fight between ordinary people from escalating into a fight between ghost masters, and potentially affecting the common people. After all, ghost masters' abilities were unpredictable, making them difficult to defend against against ordinary people. To put it bluntly, they approached Li Shu to leverage the popularity of her livestream to bring this matter to a wider audience. Secondly, he wanted to use her calculations to locate the incident as quickly as possible. Thirdly, he wanted her to help hold the fort. If an emergency arose, something the powerful officials couldn't handle, she would be needed. Of course, the third point was Old Qin's suggestion. He was more confident in Li Shu's abilities than anyone else. "Three teams, prepare ten. The orders are to bring back the remains of the heroes, leaving no one alive in the village." The powerful official lowered his voice, unconcealing his plan. He stood up, ready to explore the area. The area was heavily guarded, their mission demanding, and time was tight. A quick breach would inevitably involve sacrifices. But he was a Ghost Master, so even if he was ambushed, he'd be safe with his Ghostly protection. "Why aren't they bombarding?" Li Shu asked, puzzled. With the official's capabilities, they could simply send a location and completely destroy the village in minutes. Why bother? But things were indeed a bit cumbersome. "Master, there's something I haven't told you. Although we're here in an official capacity, we won't admit it to the public. We'll just say we're from the Overseas Chinese Support Group. We saw the video and were deeply enraged. We happened to be on a mission nearby, so we cleared out the village," the powerful official said lightly. Li Shu: "..." This Old Six's behavior was truly impressive. She liked it. Giving the powerful official a thumbs-up, Li Shu thought of something and added, "I'm sleeping right now. My platform account might be hacked, and I won't even know what's happening." The powerful official gave her a thumbs-up and gathered his clothes to get up, but Li Shu grabbed him. "Don't bother." Giving the powerful official a quiet gesture, Li Shu pulled a stack of small paper figurines from the spooky building and blew on them. The figurines fluttered down, springing to life as they landed. They twisted their bodies, stood up, and bounded towards the village below.
