Having just cleared the third hideout, the number of confird victims was also rapidly increasing.
It is said that once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, and by the ti they reached the third hideout, Wang Yunxiao found that he had already mastered the routines of these people.
A set of notes, shared among three parties, each with their distinct research direction.
The first hideout they discovered belonged to Tianle Workshop, and from their sacrificial rituals, it was clear that they sincerely wanted to refine God’s Blood, because even fools knew that such a miraculous drug, comparable to Monk Tang Flesh, was of imnse value.
They had no other malicious intent; they just wanted to make money.
The first one this morning belonged to the Cuojin Sect, which had a completely different style.
Aside from possibly creating the Holy Grail in accordance with so pact, they also crafted so “Human Figurines.”
According to the results from the on-site interrogations, these “Human Figurines”, like human skin masks, could act as vessels for identity disguise and misdirection.
Considering the nature of the Cuojin Sect, creating such an eerie item didn’t seem too far-fetched.
They seed to have a particular obsession with changing identities.
Wang Yunxiao actually wanted to tell them there was no need for such trouble; if they waited a few more decades, a surgery in Thailand wouldn’t cost much.
As for what these guys planned to do while disguised as blooming young girls, that was harder to say—but with such a large investnt, it probably wasn’t sothing as simple as sneaking into won’s bathhouses for peeping.
As everyone knows, there are two major won’s rights protection organizations in Tiann City, one known as the Red Lantern Society, and the other as Qianjin Church.
The Red Lantern Society had been offline for a long ti.
Ulan Tuya’s complexion was very unsightly; she must have realized this problem as well.
Regarding those girls turned into “Human Figurines”, although they seed to be alive for now, they were actually already driven insane by torture.
Without the support of secret techniques, once removed from the ritual site, they would quickly fall into an irreversible state of collapse.
Their organs were hollowed out, barely sustained by the flesh and blood secret techniques at their last breath; not to say that dical science today could save them, not even a hundred years from now.
As for the Longevity Sect, it was yet another different style.
According to the bulletins from the Special Service Bureau, the Longevity Sect should have been completely eradicated, but the big shots at the bureau didn’t do a thorough job, leaving these hidden hideouts untouched.
Most hideouts belonging to the Longevity Sect were already empty, leaving only half-alive Fleshly Holy Grails in the underground chambers; however, a large quantity of herbal materials was cleared out from the basents, including ginseng, fleece-flower root, cinnabar, realgar…
While others crafted Holy Grails to refine God’s Blood, the folks from the Longevity Sect were actually using the Holy Grails to craft elixirs!
On-site searches yielded elixirs stored in jade boxes, with a rich, rosy color, looking like big hawthorn pills; what effects they had, no one knew, and Wang Yunxiao certainly had no impulse to try them.
By noon, the operation had gone smoothly.
The opposition either hadn’t received the ssage or truly had no power to fight back, aside from a few stubborn holdouts, there was no particularly fierce resistance.
Twelve hideouts marked on the map—strictly speaking, the remaining eight—were practically all cleared, and the operation could finally co to a close.
Wang Yunxiao found a water tap, took a couple of gulps of tap water, removed his helt to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and quietly instructed Youtiao, “Ask everyone if they’re hungry, and buy so stead buns and pickles to fill our stomachs.”
Youtiao curled his lip and said, “Big brother, I don’t think that’s necessary.”
Actually, not eating breakfast before coming out was a very correct decision, not only do you have to clear the nest, but you also need to carry out the corpses to verify their identity for centralized recovery, then dismantle the Holy Grail, and clean up the pollution inside…
So right now, nobody really has an appetite.
Chen Yuguang, on the other hand, wasn’t much affected; the young man’s advantage was his quick recovery.
While others still had no appetite, he was already beginning to feel hungry, and said with a chuckle, “Section Chief, man is iron and food is steel; we can’t go without eating.
How about I go buy so vegetables and fruits?”
After so thought, Wang Yunxiao handed him five yuan to go buy the groceries.
They probably should have gone back to the police canteen for a al at this ti, but considering a truck had just hauled away a load of corpses…
Wang Yunxiao wasn’t too keen on riding that truck.
Surely as a university graduate, he shouldn’t need to give much instruction to this junior high school student when it cos to minor tasks like buying groceries and preparing food, right?
But what Wang Yunxiao saw next was him returning with a waterlon in his arms.
Wang Yunxiao: “Don’t…”
You just have to bring up what shouldn’t be ntioned, don’t you?
Accompanying him were quite a few others, with a man leading the group whom Wang Yunxiao recognized as the captain of Special Service Bureau’s ad-hoc Team 108, Han Bin; those following him looked to be mbers of his team, each one burly and strong like bears.
Having been busy running around all morning, Wang Yunxiao hadn’t noticed that they had entered another jurisdiction.
“I was wondering why the streets were so unsettled all morning, saying the police’s big vehicles were running everywhere, carting off dead bodies in heaps, unknowing folks might think a battle was underway.”
Walking over with a clasped fist and a smile, Han Bin said, “Section Chief Wang, unscathed I see.
What brings you here today…
Why didn’t you give a call before coming to our area?
You even sent your n to the market to buy groceries.
If I hadn’t co out to eat waterlon, I might have missed you.
So, planning not to return for lunch?
You can’t co to my place and eat just leaves, right?
Let arrange sothing…”
The man was so enthusiastic that Wang Yunxiao was sowhat unclear about his real intentions.
Whether he was an ally or…
without a clear understanding of the Holy Grail Church’s protective umbrella, that was truly a tough call.
Seemingly catching the hesitation on Wang Yunxiao’s face, and also noticing that not only police officers but also military and Church tactical squads were coming and going at the site, Han Bin suddenly realized the gravity of the situation and lowered his voice, “What’s the matter?
Need help?”
Before Wang Yunxiao could speak, Youtiao ca over with a map in hand, “It’s a call from the chief, the first group that was sent back has been laid out, and there’s another…”
Upon seeing Han Bin, he stopped talking.
Han Bin’s face turned grim, but he didn’t say anything and turned to leave.
Wang Yunxiao called out to him, “Captain Han, if I rember correctly, didn’t you tell once that you co from the Bagua Sect?”
Han Bin turned his head, raising an eyebrow, “Yes, I’m the eldest brother of this generation in the Bagua Sect.”
“I heard that the Bagua Sect is filled with loyal and brave individuals?”
“Bullshit loyalty and bravery!” Han Bin said irritably, “A true man should act with integrity, withstand foreign humiliation, and bravely confront enemies, isn’t that what normal people should do?
I hate it when people talk about loyalty and bravery as if we’re like those second-generation officials, as if we need our ancestors to grant us so sort of underhand power!”
