Abandoned factory in Sunny Country Speymargo slum.
The crater, ravaged by artillery fire, was now overgrown with weeds. After clearing away the dense weeds, the crater was dug down another half meter, revealing a pair of hands covered in a muddy substance, followed by a corpse that had just begun to decompose.
“This is it!” a local man who was being held down cried out. “This is the one I buried! It’s a Middle-earth girl named Moon!”
The leader of the men holding him captive waved his hand: "Get him out."
The leader of this body-digging operation was none other than Big Head, the leader of the group that Iris had found to assist Chang Le during her operation in District Seven.
Da Tou and his group are a group active in the South China Sea under the leadership of the Dragon Clan.
After the body was excavated, countless unidentified human tissues and stark white bones were found beneath and around it. The dark, viscous substance and the glaring white color made it feel eerie even under the bright sun.
This is a mass grave where people who die violent deaths are thrown, and where merchants who are in a hurry to process their "goods" also do so.
After the body was examined, Xiao Si, who was in charge of the examination, leaned close to Da Tou's ear and reported the findings with a grim expression.
Big Head cursed under his breath, "Fuck these bastards!"
After saying that, Big Head kicked the man twice in the chest, knocking him unconscious.
"Boss, we can't kill him yet!" Xiao Si quickly stopped him.
Big Head cursed and withdrew his foot. He walked to the side, lit a cigarette to calm himself down, and then made a call: "Brother, the autopsy has been completed."
...
"Yes, all those we found back then have been located. Yue Ningchu's body has been found."
Chang Le was standing by the window communicating with Chen Wu: "Three months ago, after the civil war broke out in Sunny, Spymagor was shut down. The head of the trading companies in the area where Yue Ningchu was located hastily dealt with a group of people. Yue Ningchu was secretly hidden by one of his subordinates until she was killed a month ago."
"The body has been found and will be processed before being sent back to China for burial. However..."
Chang Le looked furious, his voice laced with gritted teeth: "The body is not intact; some organs have been removed. The buyers are all anonymous, and their whereabouts cannot be traced."
Moreover, according to reports from below, Yue Ningchu's organs were most likely harvested while she was still alive, her source of supernatural power was also dug out while she was still alive, and her bones were covered with countless marks of abuse and beatings, especially her toe bones.
This girl, as radiant as the moon and possessing the beautiful power of "Moonlight," was cruelly crushed in the prime of her life.
The other missing and sold people also all perished; some were even missing their bodies.
After hanging up the call, Chang Le drank several mouthfuls of cold water to suppress the anger that had been stirred up in the dead of winter.
Places like Spymagau will one day be truly wiped off the map of humanity!
...
Because the online buzz hadn't died down yet, and their group was under intense scrutiny again after the Butian Tower training camp, with many media outlets searching for them, Chang Le couldn't go out and had to stay in the hotel waiting for news.
After his usual practice, Chang Le talked to everyone at Goubuli about the training camp and the current situation.
Around noon, Luo Xuan came over in a hurry and said, "The meeting is basically over, and there are results."
"Regarding mutants, the meeting unanimously agreed to conduct covert investigations and monitoring, and to immediately arrest and study them once discovered. Mutants are prone to going out of control and are equipped with self-destruct devices with time bombs, which could cause many dangerous incidents, so they are directly classified as dangerous."
"The second issue is integration. Some people at the meeting believed that we should continue to invest in integration research in the same way as other countries and regimes, and not give up integration research. Others believed that related expenditures should be reduced and discussions on related topics should be strictly controlled."
The final decision was that fusion research would continue, but unauthorized experiments, such as human trials, were still prohibited. Furthermore, they hoped that the opening of the [Mystic Realm] would help the fusion research achieve a breakthrough.
"This is also related to the third matter, which is the young master's fate."
Luo Xuan looked worried: "What Granny Wu means is that most people believe that you, young master... possess fusion-related abilities."
"The only people in the region who know for certain that you have fusion abilities are Gu Yujing, Shen Cangbai, Si Tuoyuan, Wei Kunyu, and Hua Lihan, but they are not clear about your specific situation."
"Grandma Wu said that, based on the situation at the meeting, Gu Yujing and the other four people unanimously agreed not to tell the others the fact that you were clearly able to integrate."
However, because the defeat in the Northern Campaign was suspicious, and because they found His Majesty's actions in protecting you, Young Master, all the way back then questionable, Qin Shaoji and Ying Miao have already guessed some things and tacitly agree that you possess related abilities or have access to information left behind by His Majesty.
"They believe that your entry into the Mystic Realm may unlock areas of the Mystic Realm that have never been opened in the past three hundred years."
Chang Le chuckled softly: "So with these two old folks in charge, I still can't leave."
"Yes, they are waiting for the outcome after the secret realm."
Chang Le looked up at him and said, "Brother Xuan, you know that I'm sure I'll get what they want this time I go in."
Luo Xuan said, "So, ultimately, the initiative is with us."
Chang Le then asked, "So in the end, all we're going to do is wait? Put all my hopes on the outcome of the secret realm?"
"No, besides your fusion abilities, they also mentioned whether your return to the Dragon Faction would cause turmoil. This is a highly controversial point."
Chang Le said, "Tell me their respective attitudes."
Luo Xuan replied, "Those who support the return are: Gu Lianghan, Si Tuoyuan, Wei Kunyu, Hua Lihan, Qiu Quan, Feng Mingyue, and Lu Yanhuai. The rest do not support it."
