Chen Min spoke with a heavy tone: "Since that time when multiple terrorist creatures appeared together, in the past six months, there has been a terrorist attack almost every two months. So far, the number of casualties has reached 43."
"Damn it." Ning Chen couldn't help but curse.
At the top of the conference table, Li Chongfang smoked a cigarette and glanced at several people.
Xu You spoke and reported: "There are no clues yet. The seven missing people seem to have disappeared from the world. Perhaps they were abducted by terrifying creatures."
A total of two terrifying creatures appeared the night before yesterday. They killed one and the other escaped along the river.
But it's not easy to kidnap seven people at once.
What's more, terrifying creatures are either instinctively bloodthirsty and like to kill people, or they regard humans as prey and kill people to eat. They rarely kidnap humans. Do they still store humans as food?
This is obviously unreasonable.
After all, these are living people, not things. Even if scary creatures kidnap people, most people won't survive long, and scary creatures don't like to eat dead people.
"It's also possible that it sank into the river." Zhang Huaiyuan said suddenly.
"Yeah." Lao Li nodded.
This is also possible, and they have already thought of it and sent people from relevant units to salvage along the river, but there is no news yet.
For a moment, the conference room fell into silence.
After finishing a cigarette, Lao Li pinched off the cigarette butt and said: "But I always feel that this matter is not simple. No, it should be said that things in the past six months have not been simple."
"At the beginning, I suspected that there was someone behind the attack by multiple terrorist creatures. Later, it seemed that it was the Samurai God Cult. I suspect that these incidents are also related to them."
Chen Min frowned and said: "However, there has been no sign of the Samurai God Cult in the past six months. They may have left. After all, we are just a small place in Linjiang."
"Not necessarily." Old Li shook his head: "The other party lost a divine envoy, but there was no follow-up action or revenge on Ning Chen. This is very strange in itself."
Hearing this, several people nodded, including Ning Chen.
Ning Chen was also very surprised. He was already prepared for revenge, but he wasn't. It seemed like the incident just passed.
But what kind of organization is the Samurai Sect? Are they the kind of people who are accustomed to "keeping things quiet"?
Obviously not.
Therefore, the other party probably had some scruples, so they had to stop and put aside the matter of revenge.
So, what is the other party worried about?
Suddenly, Ning Chen thought of something: "Director Li, have you found any results in the search for Gu Haowen? He is related to the Samurai Sect. If we can find him, we should be able to get more information."
Before Lao Li could speak, Chen Min shook his head and said: "Gu Haowen has been found, just two months ago, but when we found him he was already a corpse. The location where he was found was outside an abandoned factory.
He was buried under a patch of weeds and shrubs."
"Two months ago, someone bought the abandoned factory and planned to convert it into a warehouse. As a result, an excavator dug up a body that had long since rotted."
"After identification, it is Gu Haowen."
"However, no useful information was obtained from Gu Haowen's body. We only know that he has been dead for several months."
Ning Chen was shocked, not expecting that Gu Haowen was already dead.
Obviously, Lao Li suspected that a series of events in the past six months were related to the Samurai God Cult, but when Gu Haowen died, this line was broken.
The meeting fell into silence again.
After a while, Lao Li said: "The missing people must continue to be traced, and the salvage of the river cannot be stopped. In addition, we must trace the origin of the terrifying creatures. They cannot appear out of thin air."
"yes."
"clear."
Several people nodded in unison.
Ning Chen also nodded secretly.
This is indeed a direction of investigation.
With so many terrifying creatures appearing in half a year, they definitely won't appear out of thin air. As long as we figure this out, we may be able to find some clues and even find the mastermind behind the scenes.
When the meeting ended, Ning Chen took the initiative to say that if another scary creature appeared, he could call him and he could help.
"You?" Zhang Huaiyuan didn't like Ning Chen's "car model is not a car model" gift, and deliberately said: "You have only been to the Capital Martial Arts Academy for half a year, and now you are only in the middle of the first rank, right? Given your strength, you should stay safe.
, don’t cause any trouble.”
As for Ning Chen's cultivation, he still had the impression of "First Grade First Dan".
After all, Ning Chen only broke through to the first level after the college entrance examination last year. It took more than half a year to reach the middle of the first level, which is relatively normal.
"Um...I'm not in the middle of the first rank." Ning Chen said.
"Do you think my guess is correct?" Zhang Huaiyuan patted Ning Chen on the shoulder, "It doesn't matter. It took me more than a year to go from the first level of cultivation to the middle level of the first level. It's only been half a year for you. Work hard in the future.
."
Ning Chen had no choice but to say: "No, I am actually at the peak of the first rank." He also added in his mind that he was only one layer away from the second rank.
Zhang Huaiyuan was stunned when he heard "First Grade Peak".
Not only Zhang Huaiyuan, Xu You, and Lao Li were also surprised. Chen Min heard Ning Chen say last night that he not only knew that Ning Chen was a peak first-class warrior, but also knew that even among the peak first-class warriors, he should belong to
Master.
After all, being number one on the Beijing Martial Arts Academy's list of first-class geniuses is not something you can guarantee.
Gan!
Zhang Huaiyuan spat out one word and felt bad all over. He originally wanted to hit and kill Ning Chen, but Ning Chen actually succeeded.
This made him very embarrassed.
"Hey, where are you going?" Seeing Zhang Huaiyuan turn around and leave, Xu You shouted.
"I'm going out to look for clues about scary creatures." Zhang Huaiyuan didn't look back.
Xu You shook his head and laughed, then patted Ning Chen on the shoulder: "I saw it right. It only takes half a year to reach the peak of the first level. It is very powerful."
As he spoke, he looked at Lao Li.
A smile appeared on Lao Li's face: "Since you are already at the peak of the first level, that's no problem. If we find a scary creature, we will notify you as soon as possible. If you successfully kill the scary creature, I will apply for a reward for you."
A top-level warrior came to his door on his own initiative. Such a good thing may not be found even with a lantern.
Of course Lao Li chose to welcome him with open arms.
In fact, the reason why Ning Chen offered to help was not only because he really wanted to help, but also because he needed terrifying creatures. By killing the terrifying creatures, he could get the energy gift of the Bronze Immortal Palace.
"I'm only a little bit away from the second level now." Ning Chen thought to himself, "If I can kill a terrifying creature, maybe I can break through to the second level."
Even if it is only a first-level one, it does not give him much energy as a gift, but now he is only a little bit close to breaking through, so there is still great hope.
