504 Situation 1
“What’s that?!”
A large number of civilians exclaimed.
But the Night Watchmen seemed to have understood something, and many of them showed excited smiles.
The young man who was with the middle-aged man quickly said,
“Deputy Minister! It was the reinforcements! The reinforcements are here!”
The middle-aged man was shocked. “They came so quickly.”
They had clearly just sent out the distress signal not long ago, and the reinforcements had actually arrived. This was much faster than he had imagined.
However, the middle-aged man was naturally happy.
He smiled and said, “counterattack! Clean up all the black shadows! In addition, don’t let those civilians cause any chaos.”
“Yes!”
With that, the middle-aged man turned into a shadow and flew into the sky. He began to kill the black shadows that had not been purified by the sunlight.
As he got closer and closer to the sun, the middle aged man realized that the temperature was getting higher and higher. Even though he was a battle king, he could still feel a sharp pain on his skin, and his mouth was getting dry.
The middle-aged man waved his hand and created a storm, shattering a group of fleeing black shadows. He looked at the sun in the sky with shock in his eyes.
It was so powerful! Which big shot was this?
It wasn’t just the middle-aged man, the other battle kings from the other areas were also busy killing the black shadow. They were all shocked by the heat.
As the sun appeared, the dark clouds quickly dissipated. With the Night Watchmen’s cleaning, it didn’t take long for the dark fog in the entire area to dissipate, and the dark shadows disappeared.
The sun in the sky slowly lost its light, revealing a figure. Next to this figure, another figure appeared.
They were Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe.
Li Qinghe had already dispersed the dark clouds that Lu Yuan had not noticed. She looked at the tragic situation below and frowned slightly.
“It’s a good thing we came in time.”
Lu Yuan also nodded, his expression grave.
If the dissimilated man, who had the soul devouring bead, did not restrict his use of the strange soul devouring ability, the harm that he would cause would be too great.
Lu Yuan’s gaze swept across the area below him. The evolution cube in his body did not shake.
This made Lu Yuan frown. He did not know if it was because the evolution cube was too far away from the bottom and could not sense it, or if it was because the aberrant controlling the soul devouring bead was not in this area.
Just as Lu Yuan was thinking, a few figures flew towards them.
The leader of the group was a mature and beautiful woman with long white hair.
She glanced at Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe. When she saw Lu Yuan, she paused and a grateful expression appeared on her face. She thanked him from the bottom of her heart.
“So it’s elder Lu and elder Li. It’s all thanks to the two of you that we were able to get here in time. Otherwise, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have been able to resist these black shadows. I’m Bai Linglong, the head of the Night Watchmen branch in Xikou city. Thank you, elders.”
Li Qinghe had seen this kind of scene too many times. She chuckled and shook her head.
“You’re too kind, Minister Bai. This is what we should do … Right, when did this mutation start?”
“More than two hours ago, a black fog suddenly appeared. At first, the black fog was not thick, and only a few ordinary people died. However, after the Night Watchmen’s investigation, the members of the Night Watchmen also died. Then, the black fog gradually became thicker, and it gradually became what it is now.”
Bai Linglong didn’t try to hide anything.
Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe nodded, seemingly deep in thought.
It was obvious that the mutations that Gu An had mentioned in the few cities all happened at the same time.
The two of them looked at each other and Lu Yuan said, “Where did the mutation start?”
“I’ll bring you two over! You guys handle the follow-up.”
Bai Linglong said to Lu Yuan. Then, she turned around and ordered the other battle-Kings.
The other battle-Kings nodded and thanked Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe one after another. Then, they turned and left.
Bai Linglong brought Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe to a very ordinary-looking residential building with white walls in the huge residential area.
“According to the informant, the black fog came from here. Later, the night watchers came to investigate this building and found a large number of black shadows.”
Li Qinghe sensed for a while and frowned slightly. She didn’t find anything. She turned to Lu Yuan. “Little brother Yuan, do you feel anything?”
Lu Yuan’s perception was already considered extremely strong. He sensed the small building, but there was nothing unusual. The evolution cube did not shake either.
Lu Yuan frowned slightly, then said, “Let’s go in and take a look.”
“Yes.”
The three of them entered the small building. Lu Yuan found that there was an unusually dark aura inside, which was left by the black souls controlled by the soul devouring bead.
Other than that, there were also many corpses in the corridor and stairs.
These corpses had pale faces and no wounds on their bodies, but they had lost their vitality.
Their souls had been devoured.
Lu Yuan took a look at the corpse on the ground and retracted his gaze. Back in Xili city, Lu Yuan had already seen a corpse whose soul had been devoured by the soul devouring bead.
This residential building had a total of 12 floors. Lu Yuan and the other two searched from the first floor to the 12th floor.
Bai Linglong looked at the two of them with anticipation. “How is it? Two elders, did you find anything?”
Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Bai Linglong’s eyes as she said, “I’m afraid that the mutant hiding in the dark will continue to attack at any time.”
