Gaowu invasion, I can see the future

41: Liu Ruoxi, blood clan transformationLeaving the city, we entered the suburbs.

Both sides of the road were lined with mountains, dense trees, small bridges, and flowing water.

The scenery along the way was beautiful and quite comforting.

Living here, one seeks the tranquility of nature.

Soon, we approached Qingyuan Mountain Villa, where the environment was even better, with exquisite landscaping.

Passing a mountainside, one could see rows of villas in the distance, distributed like terraced fields.

Qingyuan Mountain Villa.

The car parked in the parking lot at the entrance of the villa, and everyone got out.

Bai Yu stretched and said, ”Rich people really know how to enjoy themselves.”

Liu Feifei muttered softly, ”Team Leader Li and Wanqing Jie both have houses here.”

”It’s fine, I’m not envious.”

But there was a feeling of heartache!

Walking up the ramp, we didn’t see many people along the way.

We were heading straight for our target, but halfway there, we saw an acquaintance: Liu Ruoxi!

Why would she appear in this place?

Was she being kept by a rich person, or...?

She was on my intel today, so it seems it was fated...

But before he could finish thinking, he saw Liu Ruoxi wave: ”Good morning, Sister Wanqing! Good morning, Sister Feifei!”

Liu Feifei excitedly said, ”Ruoxi, good morning!”

With that, she gave her a big hug.

Bai Yu’s inner thoughts: ??? You two know each other?

The three girls chatted briefly, seeming to have a good relationship.

”However, we are currently on a mission, so we can’t stay with you.”

Liu Feifei said with some regret.

But she noticed that Liu Ruoxi’s gaze seemed to be directed at Bai Yu.

Bai Yu, at this moment, had an internal monologue of ’don’t see me, don’t see me’.

Liu Feifei immediately sensed something unusual and asked, ”Do you two perhaps know each other? Oh, right! You’re from the same school. But how did you meet?”

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu instantly felt so awkward he wanted to dig out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.

”Uh, I... well...”

From Bai Yu’s reaction, Liu Feifei immediately smelled gossip and winked wildly at Liu Ruoxi, saying, ”How did you meet?”

While Bai Yu was still feeling embarrassed, Liu Ruoxi calmly said, ”He pursued me for a while, I guess?”

Liu Feifei’s eyes widened, her interest piqued.

But Bai Yu, hearing that calm and emotionless tone, felt a different kind of sensation; his original awkwardness instantly vanished.

Because that tone made him feel like he was just an insignificant passerby, and she had no feelings for him at all.

Although his status was indeed very ordinary back then, he was still a man.

His damned pride! It couldn’t help but make him brainwash himself: This was just something the original owner did, it has nothing to do with me. So what if she’s pretty? There will be many more beautiful girls in the future.

With this thought, he felt no awkwardness, only smoothly took over the conversation, saying, ”Indeed. In the second semester of freshman year, I had a one-sided crush for a while, I guess.”

Saying that, Bai Yu then looked at Liu Feifei, exasperatedly saying, ”Aren’t we here to carry out a mission? Why are we talking about gossip?”

”Alright, alright~ Don’t you have any lingering feelings for your former goddess?”

As she spoke, she winked and whispered, ”I can help you.”

Bai Yu, on the other hand, rolled his eyes: ”No interest.”

Li Yunbin saw that the atmosphere was a bit off and said that the mission was important, so they left.

After they had gone far.

Qin Wanqing looked at Bai Yu and asked, ”Did you and Ruoxi have any minor unpleasantness back then? Ruoxi is a very good person.”

Bai Yu knew why she asked that, and spread his hands, saying, ”Her tone was too calm, making me feel like just a fleeting passerby. My damned pride made me instantly suppress my awkwardness.”

Liu Feifei heard this, tapped Bai Yu’s head, and said, ”You’re too concerned about Face! No wonder you don’t have a girlfriend.”

”Hey~ Now that my fishing pond is bigger, I’ll catch one sooner or later. But, when will our team arrange some holidays for me to go out and meet more people, maybe go on some blind dates?”

”Manpower is scarce, and we work all year round. Don’t dream about it!”

”I don’t want to live anymore! Let’s just destroy it all!”

Everyone quickly arrived at the Spirit Medicine garden cultivated on the mountaintop.

Its area was much larger than imagined.

There were quite a few people here, about fifty or sixty at a glance.

A group of people were gathered at the entrance of a Spirit Medicine garden where about half of the field had been destroyed.

Bai Yu and the others also walked towards that direction.

At the entrance of the Spirit Medicine garden, Bai Yu saw a Blood Pi Xiu that looked like it was made of metal, and his eyes narrowed.

Blood Pi Xiu!?

Could the owner of this Spirit Medicine garden live in Villa No. 8?

Spirit Medicine stolen? And then a Blood Pi Xiu case half a month later. This is getting interesting.

Then, a middle-aged man wearing glasses, who looked quite educated, appeared. His name was He Chenming, and he mainly worked in the pharmaceutical industry.

Seeing Li Yunbin and the others arrive, He Chenming immediately walked over: ”Team Leader Li, you’re finally here!”

He then sighed: ”Alas, my losses this time are huge. One-third of the Spirit Medicine was either stolen or destroyed. And two security guards died.”

”The losses certainly can’t be recovered, but as long as this culprit isn’t arrested, we can’t rest easy!”

Looking at his expression, he was indeed very anxious.

Bai Yu couldn’t help but change his mind, thinking: Perhaps this guy is just a victim, but what’s special about his Spirit Medicine garden?

Li Yunbin also quickly understood the situation, confirming information such as nearby surveillance, psychic cameras, etc.

In a place like this, the layout was very strict. Both surveillance and psychic cameras captured information.

However, the thief’s evil Qi was very strong and constantly enveloped their body. The images captured by the psychic camera were interfered with by the evil Qi, only showing black blobs.

After transmitting the data back, they began to examine the bodies found in the Spirit Medicine garden.

The combat footage at the time was recorded by the surveillance.

Both individuals had their throats slit with a single strike, and after their throats were cut, all the blood in their bodies was drawn out, which was extremely evil and cruel.

The bodies at the scene were indeed quite shriveled and blackened.

After examining this information, Li Yunbin frowned and said, ”Evil Qi and Blood Clan methods. I don’t know if it’s someone from an evil cult organization or a Blood Clan Modified Creature.”

His expression was somewhat serious.

Bai Yu looked at the footage and then at the bodies. This time, he didn’t get any information from Golden Finger, so it was definitely impossible to solve the case immediately.

Then Li Yunbin spoke, ”Bai Yu, you handle this evil Qi.”

”Okay.”

With that, Bai Yu summoned the golden page.

After the page appeared, it emitted a faint golden light and formed a vortex.

One could see a black energy and a blood-red energy flowing into the page.

After absorbing it, Bai Yu tested it, thinking that if the page glowed, he could just arrest the person on the spot!

But alas, dreams are beautiful.

The golden page did not react.

After dealing with the scene, Li Yunbin activated his spiritual vision ability as usual.

Bai Yu took this time to look around.

What was planted here were crops like radishes buried in the soil, with black-red leaves and bright red fleshy roots underground. Bai Yu had eaten this in the cafeteria; it was called Blood Gathering Radish, and it was excellent for replenishing Qi and blood.

Besides that, there were some scattered flowers growing on the surface.

Bai Yu couldn’t help but ask curiously, ”What kind of flowers are these?”

Behind him, He Chenming, who was standing at the entrance of the Spirit Medicine garden, heard this and quickly said, ”These flowers are called blood rage flower.”

”blood rage flower? What a strange name.”

”Because the energy within the flowers is too violent, humans cannot consume them.”

”Is there any use for them?”

”Not really any use.”

”Then why not pull them out? To avoid wasting nutrients.”

”That’s where the explanation comes in. Since ancient times, places with dense blood Qi accumulate into malevolent Qi over time, and blood malevolent Qi is harmful to the human body, so this item is needed to remove the blood malevolent Qi here.”

”I see.”

Jiang Chen and the others were also listening nearby. They weren’t omniscient about the supernatural world, and naturally didn’t recognize things that weren’t served at the dinner table.

Bai Yu, on the other hand, wondered if there was something fishy about these blood rage flower. With that thought, he picked a few, intending to study them back home.

At the same time, he observed He Chenming’s expression, but didn’t detect too much unusualness.

After being busy for a while, he checked the time; it was already ten o’clock, and most of the information had been collected, so they planned to leave.

And when He Chenming saw Li Yunbin and the others walk out of the Spirit Medicine garden, as if the investigation was complete, he stepped forward and asked, ”Team Leader Li, have you found any clues?”

Li Yunbin thought for a moment, and as he walked, he said, ”The culprit’s abilities are not common. We’ll need the analysis team to study it carefully. We will find out as soon as possible.”

”Alas...”

At this moment, another wealthy man, Wei Wutao, couldn’t help but ask, ”Can your Investigation Bureau send more people? Now even this place isn’t safe! If it’s about money, we can definitely pay more.”

His tone wasn’t very good, but Li Yunbin still politely explained, ”Currently, the activities of otherworldly creatures are becoming more frequent, and manpower is scarce. If you are worried about safety, you can apply for a room at the Investigation Bureau’s station in each district.”

”Applying at your place is too troublesome, it costs a lot, and the living environment is just average.”

”That, I can’t control.”

With that, Li Yunbin left.

Inside the car.

As soon as the car started, Li Yunbin said to Zhao Bin, ”Although the culprit’s evil Qi is very strong this time, and their methods are very similar to those guys from the evil god organization, when Bai Yu just extracted energy, the bloodstone we got from Old Zheng suddenly reacted.”

”So I think this case is related to the Blood Clan, possibly a new Blood Clan Modified Creature.”

”Have the analysis team research more in this direction.”

”Understood!”

Bai Yu then asked curiously, ”Blood Clan Modified Creature?”

”As the name suggests, they are monsters created by the Blood Clan using their special abilities such as blood regeneration, combined with biology and various strange energies.”

”They appeared a few times before, initially just naked monsters without skin and very low intelligence. But later, they were improved four or five times, becoming stronger and stronger.”

”Originally, there had been no news for over five months. If the culprit in the surveillance this time is indeed a Blood Clan Modified Creature, then they must have made a huge Breakthrough.”

”If they can be mass-produced, it would definitely be a catastrophic piece of news!”

”I will send you a detailed file. If...”

Li Yunbin paused for a moment before continuing: ”If you find any useful information, or have any conjectures, you can speak directly.”

”The priority of Blood Clan Modified Creature is definitely higher than that of Vampire Baron.”

Bai Yu: ”Understood! I will do my best.”

From Li Yunbin’s speaking speed, one could feel his emphasis on this matter!

Bai Yu also thought of the Lei Family’s research laboratory, which had mentioned Blood Clan Modified Creature!

’This probably involves a major case, perhaps even something that the Seventh Team can’t solve.’

’If I really find something, will I end up getting shot seven times in the back, ah, no! It should be stabbed seven times in the back and committing suicide...?’
