This mutated creature that died was obviously killed after being parasitized by a Soul Capturing Monster.
At this mont, the mutated creature lay inside a glass chamber, which ant the Soul Capturing Monster had already left its host.
Lu Heng imdiately beca alert, scanning his surroundings in readiness for the possible appearance of the Soul Capturing Monster.
Following that, Iron Arm rushed in with his clan mbers, equally vigilant as they surveyed the area.
Mia walked over, crouched in front of the glass chamber, examined the dead mutated creature, and said, "It's this aura; there's still a residual demon aura on this thing."
Iron Arm, however, frowned and said, "The aura here is faint; the demon must have already fled."
Lu Heng turned his head to glance at Su Muyu, inquiring if she had made any discoveries.
Su Muyu shook her head and answered, "I haven't seen the Soul Capturing Monster appear."
Since Soul Capturing Monsters are a type of spiritual body with no physical form, they could escape through any crevice if they wished to flee.
"Everyone, double-check to see if the Soul Capturing Monster is still here," Lu Heng said.
The Bansel people have a unique sensory ability to detect demon auras—a racial trait of theirs. Except for a few species of demons that can conceal their aura, the majority of demons could not hide from their senses.
A group of Bansel dwarfs dispersed, sniffing all around the laboratory, inside and out, and ultimately confird that the Soul Capturing Monster had escaped.
At that ti,
the five vehicles from Ghost Warrior rcenary Company also charged up to the laboratory exterior.
Lu Heng arranged for an ambush and caught the team of Ghost Warrior rcenaries off guard.
Aside from one kept alive for questioning, the rest were eliminated.
When cleaning up the battlefield, Lin Zeyu collected all the weapons and equipnt of the group of Ghost Warrior rcenaries. All equipnt assimilated with Divine Energy was highly valuable and could be exchanged for other resources.
Especially firearms, which were highly sought after within the Superpower Users community.
After clearing the battlefield, the remaining leader of the Ghost Warrior rcenaries was subdued by Iron Arm and brought before Lu Heng.
This person was nad Tanaka Ichiro, a captain in the Ghost Warrior rcenary Company, but his level was not very high, only Level 16.
At the start of the fight, he had kept to the back, sending other Ghost Warrior rcenaries forward to charge.
Itana imdiately used a Spiritual Skill, "Sir, you may begin questioning."
Lu Heng pulled over a chair and sat down, considering his questions carefully, "Who sent you here?"
Tanaka Ichiro's face was filled with terror as he stuttered a response, "It... It was Mr. Ida's orders."
"Who is Mr. Ida?"
"Masami Ida, the president of Ghost Warrior rcenary Company, and also a director of Mountain Sakura Bank."
Lu Heng had researched Mountain Sakura Bank before coming here; it was one of Mitsui Group's main assets.
Indeed, the Mitsui Group's strength in Fusang was formidable, even boasting a major bank under its umbrella.
For Mitsui Group, problems that could be solved with money were not problems at all.
As for problems that couldn't be solved with money, that's what their band of Ghost Warrior rcenaries was for.
Lu Heng pondered for a mont and continued to probe, "Do you know about the Soul Capturing Monster?"
Tanaka Ichiro's voice quivered, as if the re ntion of the word evoked fear in him, "I... I know."
"Who is in charge of controlling the Soul Capturing Monster?"
"I... I don't know."
This question could not be answered.
Lu Heng glanced at Itana, checking if this man was hiding sothing in his answer.
Itana nodded in confirmation, "He is not lying; he probably really doesn't know."
This man was just a captain in the Ghost Warrior rcenary Company. Though he held so authority, he definitely would not have access to confidential affairs involving Soul Capturing Monsters.
The re knowledge of the existence of Soul Capturing Monsters was already beyond the scope of his authority.
The Bansel Clan's Challenge Task was to eliminate mission-specific monsters.
Among these, the first Challenge Task was to identify three hosts for the Soul Capturing Monsters.
This task wasn't particularly difficult, as Lu Heng already knew of two or three Fusang politicians controlled by Soul Capturing Monsters. By exposing these individuals, the task could be completed.
The second task was to disclose the secret of the Soul Capturing Monsters and issue a crisis warning to humanity.
This too wasn't very difficult; as long as evidence of the existence of the Soul Capturing Monsters could be found and made public, the task would be accomplished.
The third task was to capture a live Soul Capturing Monster, a task for which Lu Heng had previously taken out a Sealing Card that had sealed a Soul Capturing Monster, thereby helping them complete it.
In other words, if the Bansel Clan just wanted to complete the three Challenge Tasks, the difficulty was not very high.
However, Lu Heng was contemplating one issue.
According to the guidance of the Abyss Battlefield missions, these tasks were expected to lead the Bansel Clan to completely eradicate the Soul Capturing Monsters.
Yet, there was no explicit requirent in the mission to eradicate the Soul Capturing Monsters entirely.
This discrepancy usually arose from the Danger Level of the task.
The Abyss Battlefield issues missions based on the combat power rating of the Summoned; they organize tasks of corresponding difficulties.
It must have been that when the Bansel Clan accepted the summon, their combat power rating wasn't high enough, which is why their tasks were relatively simple.
Of course, this "simple" was also relative.
Without Lu Heng's assistance, it wouldn't be easy at all for the Bansel Clan to complete these three Challenge Tasks.
Moreover, with a lower Danger Level for the task, the Divine Energy rewarded in the end would also be less.
Lu Heng was now considering how to complete the World Task.
Since he had co to Fusang, naturally, he wanted to reap all possible benefits.
Now that this city had beco an Abyss Battlefield, it offered a chance for rewards.
However, Lu Heng and his two companions were not the Summoned; in fact, they were technically NPCs of the Abyss Battlefield.
