Gaowu invasion, I can see the future

30: Set up a trap to fish, dance teacher Zhang!“Team Leader, I have something to report.”

“Speak.”

“My friend might be attacked by a transcendent creature on his way home tonight.”

Li Yunbin wasn’t surprised at all and asked directly, “Do you know its strength?”

Bai Yu wanted to say ‘Level 5’ directly, but it wasn’t appropriate to talk nonsense after finally integrating into the team.

After thinking for a moment, he said, “It should be a High-Level Fishman, strength unknown.”

“High-Level Fishman?”

Li Yunbin, who was in the front seat, sounded a bit surprised. He couldn’t help but look back, paused for a moment, and then asked, “Can you tell me the specific situation?”

“I really can’t explain it clearly. I just have a feeling that this Fishman is actually coming for me.”

“Alright, I understand.”

“So, Team Leader, what’s our next arrangement?”

“I need to ask first, besides foreseeing the attack, do you know any other information?”

“Yes.”

“Okay, I understand. Don’t worry, I’ll arrange a suitable person to handle this.”

Afterward, Li Yunbin learned about Zhang Youpeng’s information and his current location.

After understanding, he immediately took out his phone and dialed a number.

The moment the call connected, a cold female voice came from the other end: “Hello, Team Leader, what’s up?”

“I need you to protect someone.”

“Who?” the other party asked, her voice tinged with curiosity.

“A student. He’s currently at Zhou Gang’s gym.”

“Until when do I need to protect him?”

“Tonight. Just safely escort him home. Remember, he might have already been targeted by an AdvancedXenomorph, so you need to be very careful.”

“Understood!”

“Stay hidden, don’t expose yourself.”

“Don’t worry, unless it’s an old monster from the Ling Yuan Realm, it’s impossible for them to see through me.”

“Beep beep beep~”

The other side hung up directly.

Seeing this, Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, “Should I tell my friend?”

“He already knows he’s going to be attacked?”

“Uh…”

He actually forgot about that!

“Yes, I had a premonition this afternoon, so I talked to him. Then he just sent a photo of a suspicious person.”

“Give me the information about the suspicious person, and I’ll send it to Han Qing.”

“Okay.”

After a simple inquiry, this Han Qing was an unregistered personnel who preferred to act alone.

Han Qing would actively take on tasks that required stealth abilities.

10:30 PM.

Wang Long patted Zhang Youpeng’s shoulder and said heartily, “Kid, you trained well today. You definitely have great potential! I have high hopes for you.”

“Thanks, Brother Yu!”

“Hmm, be careful on your way.”

After a brief chat, Zhang Youpeng walked out of the gym, looked around, and saw that the streets were already empty.

Even though he knew from Bai Yu that someone was protecting him in the dark, he was still a little scared, but he tried his best to act naturally.

The night was deep, and the stars twinkled.

Zhang Youpeng maintained a light jog.

Around him was the night view of a bustling city, with the glass curtain walls of tall buildings reflecting the distant neon lights, and occasional vehicles whizzing by.

He passed through the commercial street, crossed the intersection, and covered two kilometers, a quarter of his journey, without any abnormalities.

Looking around, most shops had already closed, with only a few convenience stores and fast-food restaurants still lit.

Gradually moving away from the bustling area, the surroundings became quiet, and the streetlights were spaced further apart, making the light appear somewhat dim.

When he reached the bridge, he looked at the shimmering river water.

Suddenly, Zhang Youpeng noticed a dark figure slowly emerging from the bushes ahead. The person was masked, but he could feel that this person was precisely the tattooed man he had photographed and sent to Bai Yu!

He had already covered half the distance quickly. At this moment, Zhang Youpeng even began to worry if the person protecting him would be left behind because of his jogging.

“Kid, your stamina is pretty good~”

“Just come with me obediently, and you can avoid suffering flesh wounds.”

As he spoke, the person’s eyes glowed with a faint green light, and fish scales appeared on his right arm.

Zhang Youpeng frantically tried to retreat.

The Fishman looked at his weak prey and approached mockingly.

“You have some guts, you don’t seem as scared as the previous prey. Who gave you the courage, in front of me—”

“Of course, I gave him the courage.”

The Fishman was startled. The reply was a female voice, and it came from behind him.

His body instantly mutated, but two energy streams intersected and struck the back of his neck.

The thick scales broke open, and green blood splattered into the water.

The Fishman’s entire body glowed with an eerie green spiritual energy, and he leaped down into the river channel below. In mid-air, he looked back at his attacker.

But before he could see the opponent clearly, he only saw three purple afterimages charging towards him.

‘Not good! It’s an expert!’

He immediately cast a spiritual technique, two water pillars struck the afterimages, and he used this momentum to try and fall into the river.

But when he was three meters off the ground, four black chains shot out from the surrounding space, instantly wrapping around his limbs.

Strangulation!

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh~”

Dozens of purple blades charged forward. This High-Level Fishman indeed seemed to have thick skin and flesh, enduring all the attacks and still having the strength to shatter the chains.

The river water below converged into four terrifying currents, striking towards Han Qing.

Just as the battle was about to continue, a green sword streaked across the sky.

“Pfft~” a sound, as if piercing through a body.

The water currents formed by the spell fell due to gravity.

Five minutes later.

Bai Yu and the others arrived at the riverside under the bridge and looked at the heavily scarred Fishman monster.

At this moment, the Fishman monster was already handcuffed, sealing its power, making suicide impossible.

Zhao Bin looked at the Fishman monster and noticed that the scales on its arm were blue.

“Blue-scaled Fishman. The three previously recorded murder cases were in Guanglin District, northeast of Tianhai City, more than twenty kilometers from here.”

“The modus operandi is that he likes to attack people near water and then jump into the water to escape.”

“It’s a good thing we prepared in advance this time and didn’t let him escape.”

“This guy is quite strong and a key figure. Investigate him thoroughly; we might be able to catch a big fish.”

Hearing this, the Fishman monster, who still had a few breaths left, his eyes turned cold.

Next, it was time to escort this guy back.

Bai Yu, meanwhile, seized the opportunity to approach Zhang Youpeng on the bridge.

He patted his shoulder and said, “Well done!”

Zhang Youpeng still wore his honest smile, scratching his head, and said shyly, “I was already scared to death inside! But there’s no escaping, so I could only grit my teeth and endure.”

“Hmm, train well at the gym. When I get contribution points, I’ll arrange better meals for you. Don’t let your body be unable to bear it, becoming too weak for supplements.”

Zhang Youpeng patted his chest: “I’ll train hard! Brother Yu, you be careful too.”

“Don’t worry!”

For safety, Han Qing escorted Zhang Youpeng back.

Investigation Bureau.

The news that the Seventh Group took down a Demonic Weapon wielder at noon and captured a High-Level Fishman alive at night had really spread.

And the most important thing is to completely dismantle the den behind such High-Level Fishmen!

Information is time-sensitive, so interrogating for important intelligence overnight is crucial.

The interrogation lasted for over half an hour.

The Fishman was quite stubborn, only selling information about a few low-level Fishmen he had recently contacted.

But the most important thing was whether they could dig out intelligence on other High-Level Fishmen, or even the Fish-man Family!

Bai Yu, at this moment, was watching Team Leader Li’s entire interrogation process in the monitoring room.

At the same time, the analysis team was also watching surveillance videos of his recent activities to find other accomplices.

Inside the monitoring room.

Zhao Bin looked at the summary of the recent activity trajectory compiled within half an hour.

“June 9th, June 15th, June 28th, he committed three cases in Guanglin District.”

“From recent consumption, someone is secretly providing funds, and this is currently under strict investigation.”

“Three days ago, he came to our Jiangnan District, ostensibly to attend a summer offline fan meeting for a female streamer whose online name is Dancing Teacher Zhang.”

When he heard the online name ‘Dancing Teacher Zhang’, Bai Yu’s expression froze.

His mind felt like it had been electrified, and suddenly a very clear line of thought emerged.

His first thought was that this female streamer might be the High-Level Fishman’s superior!!!

After realizing this, his heart began to pound wildly, and his brain constantly tried to sort out this connection.

‘The initial low-level Fishman - Wang Yongjian, because of the 300,000 yuan reward, ran over and killed the female streamer.’

‘If this were an ordinary world, grievances would have their source, and debts their owner, so killing her would be fine.’

‘But... who granted him power!?’

‘Secondly, tonight’s incident at Guangying Media Building, the abnormal spiritual energy rift, and the cold, damp feeling of the spiritual energy... one guess is that anAlien tampered with it.’

Especially, that look in her eyes when he passed by yesterday afternoon!

The female streamer’s gaze lingered on him for a moment.

Just because I saw you one more time in the crowd!

At the time, he was bragging to Zhang Youpeng about being handsome and attracting attention.

But there was a strange feeling inside, and he didn’t pay much attention.

Now, it was different...

Just as he thought of this, Zhao Bin happened to mention the High-Level Fishman’s actions last night.

“Bai Yu, from the surveillance, this guy was staking you out at the school gate last night. You’re really lucky! If you had been a step off, he might have succeeded yesterday.”

Hearing this, Bai Yu could hardly contain his excitement.

Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!

This information matched up again.

He was targeted at that time precisely because he passed by the company yesterday evening!

It also matched the intersection of his two fate lines: Company - Female Streamer - Dancing Teacher Zhang.

If everything was true, then this would be a major case he solved without using his Golden Finger!!!

I’m really something!

I’ve caught this little demoness, haven’t I? I must catch her and whip her severely!

Unable to suppress the emotions in his heart, Bai Yu excitedly said, “Can you check the footage of him attending the fan offline meeting at the Guangying Media Building entrance, especially who he interacted with!”
