Chapter 150: The Dead’s Chat Records, Murder Case is Close!
the car.
Bai Yu looked at the thick night and the scattered lights within the village.
This was his first time in a rural village in the Extraordinary world.
Dealing with monsters here felt less restrictive.
Yet, there was a strange feeling.
Perhaps it was the low population, the quietness, and the sense of hidden danger in the night?
Thinking about it, a large group of Sea Monsters suddenly emerged from the underground river.
Over thirty Modified Beings and one werewolf-like Modified Being directly appeared in the dense forest!
The wilderness is indeed very dangerous.
He glanced at the fleeting night outside the window.
Bai Yu couldn’t help but ask, “By the way, Captain, Sancha River Town actually has half a Heaven Yuan Realm existence. How many Spirit Sea Realm cultivators are there?”
“Locally stationed, there are zero.”
“What??? Zero?”
“Tianhai City has a permanent population of 15 million, and there are only about 100 Spirit Sea Realm cultivators. Moreover, many of them are on missions in other, more critical locations.”
“The battle at the auction back then involved a large number of Spirit Sea Realm cultivators participating in a secret operation somewhere in East Sea Province.”
“Actually, Tianhai City at that time was quite dangerous. If those Alien Races hadn’t been stopped, they could have caused a greater disaster!”
Hearing this, Bai Yu deeply agreed.
In the original Fate Line, the battle at the auction was bound to be a failure. It also led to a Blood Head’s involvement in the Blood Pi Xiu case, severely injuring the arriving Investigators. Thunder Laboratory was also attacked! The outcome of the battle is unknown.
It was clear that the auction segment had problems, making the Alien Races even more arrogant!
In the current Fate Line, although the leaders of those Alien Races were not completely killed, the crisis has at least been greatly alleviated.
These guys have all settled down for now.
The Intelligence he possessed was merely that the reckless Sea Monster Clan was about to cause a disaster.
Li Yunbin continued, “Linshui City, with over a million people, should have about a handful of Spirit Sea Realm cultivators stationed there.”
“Sancha River Town only has a permanent population of thirty to forty thousand. Having one half-step Heaven Yuan Realm cultivator is already very strong.”
“However, this powerful individual has a special situation and cannot move around freely, so they cannot control the situation outside. But the core area of Sancha River Town is still very safe.”
“Speaking of which, because there are almost no Murder Cases in the core area of Sancha River Town, people here are more ‘superstitious’ about the Buddha on the mountain, and the incense is abundant.”
“The Black Blood Disease in Sancha River Town initially led people to seek refuge at the Buddhist Temple.”
“And there is a large flow of people, which enhances the strength of that old man.”
Hearing that Linshui City only had a handful of Spirit Sea Realm cultivators, Bai Yu finally had some concept of the scarcity of powerful individuals.
So, one cultivator for every hundred thousand people is considered good!
If you calculate carefully, Tianhai City only has about three thousand Spirit Yuan Realm cultivators, right? However, in recent times, there will be quite a few more.
“How many Spirit Sea Realm cultivators are there in our Ninth Administrative District?”
“Over fifty thousand.”
“??? If we distribute them per capita, isn’t our Tianhai City too low? It should be five hundred, right?”
“One hundred are only stationed here, and they spend at least three months in Tianhai City every year. Spirit Sea Realm cultivators are considered scarce resources; they need to guard Secret Realms, or Otherworlds, and most importantly, Fissures! Once they start guarding, it’s often for several years. Of course, these places are also very suitable for Cultivation.”
Hearing this, Bai Yu understood.
Cities are not the most critical.
If these important places cannot be defended, that would be the most serious!
At this moment, Li Yunbin’s special phone rang, and after answering, he spoke for two minutes.
Bai Yu didn’t need to guess; he knew Director Yang was calling!
After hanging up, Li Yunbin said, “Director Yang just mentioned something.”
“What is it?”
“The Spiritual Land training scheduled for the 15th for our group has been postponed to the 20th.”
“Huh??? Why?”
“Director Yang was very direct: your presence here can stabilize the Luck of this area.”
“Meow meow meow~! Am I very suitable for working overtime like this?”
“Every five days, a different Heaven Yuan Realm cultivator will come. It’s said that from the 20th to the 25th, a Lightning System Heaven Yuan Realm cultivator has been specially arranged. You will receive three hours of special service then.”
Bai Yu’s eyes lit up.
He had mentioned this in his Diary, and it was also for three hours.
However, according to the current information, this Lightning System cultivator was specially arranged!?
He wondered if it was an Ancient God inheritor, and if so, who was the inheritance from?
Could cultivators of the same system bring him more benefits?
But “special service”?
“Special service? Captain, I’m reporting you!”
Li Yunbin covered his mouth with a fist and coughed.
“Cough~ Within the Heaven Yuan Realm, the Spiritual Mansion allows for extremely special abilities. Three hours can even be equivalent to several months of normal Cultivation for you, directly accelerating it by months.”
Liu Feifei stretched and said, “Mmm~ The time to advance to the Spirit Yuan Realm will be delayed again!”
“We also get half an hour of individual guidance. If we perform well, it can be extended.”
Hearing this, Liu Feifei’s eyes lit up, and she looked at Bai Yu with shining eyes.
Bai Yu instantly flinched and said, “What do you want? I’ll report you for molestation!”
“Hmph! You’re asking for a beating!”
On the way back.
The Spirit Milk was also distributed.
150L of Second Rank mid-to-high grade, and about 10L of Third Rank quality.
Bai Yu and the others in the Seventh Group received seventy percent, while the other two groups split the remaining thirty percent.
Considering the battle results, the Seventh Group taking eighty percent would have been acceptable. But this was like doing business; being too stingy wouldn’t earn them a good reputation.
Everyone had risked their lives this time.
As for the werewolf-like Vampire Clan Modified Being, it was taken away by people from the Investigation Bureau.
Without guessing, Bai Yu knew it was likely sent to Professor Li Maoshan for research.
He wondered if he would be able to obtain updated Research Results later.
Ten o’clock in the evening.
Sancha River Town.
In the winding alleys of this mountain town, there was an inconspicuous small restaurant.
Bai Yu and the others followed the Slope and saw the old signboard.
The signboard used a retro style from 30 years ago, and warm light spilled from the semi-transparent lanterns.
The upper part of the lanterns was broken.
However, the words ‘Sanhe Restaurant’ could be seen, a very simple name.
The Spiritual Food was delivered early.
As Bai Yu and the others arrived at the entrance, a round-faced uncle wearing a chef’s hat.
He glanced at Li Yunbin and smiled.
“Everything is ready, there’s a private room upstairs.”
“Yes! Thank you.”
Upon reaching the second floor, everyone saw a table full of delicious food.
Unfortunately, to avoid being too exaggerated, they had to scoop out the meat from the crab shells.
Otherwise, crab legs three to five meters long would be too terrifying!
While getting food, Bai Yu walked around and looked at the several tables of guests downstairs; there were many tourists from out of town.
Everyone was chatting lively, creating a strong sense of daily life.
Bai Yu brought his food and began to eat.
A soundproof Barrier was simply set up, and they began discussing the case files about the Sancha River Town area that their superior had just provided.
Jiang Liyue also received the news about the postponed training and muttered, “Just because our operation tonight was fruitful, they’re making us stay here for five more days?”
“Seven or eight days, we can’t do anything major, right? But why are they giving us so much seemingly confidential information?”
She was indeed very confused.
Normally, when they went to a new place for business, they didn’t receive so much information.
Yu Rundong was not in a hurry; he was already part of the group scheduled for the 20th, so it didn’t affect him much.
It was just that the patrol mission was changed to a case-solving mission.
Bai Yu listened quietly, without speaking.
He silently began to read about the complex underground power networks in and around Sancha River Town.
The various wealthy individuals gathered by the Vampire Clan formed the most massive underground forces, and there were also many hidden dens of Modified Beings in the mountains.
The power of the Black Lotus Flower had also projected onto this area, and the forces of the Black Demon Warrior faction were also hidden in the mountains!
The Sea Monster Clan also had a significant presence here.
Most of the Alien Races that appeared in Tianhai City were present here.
In addition, in the mountainous areas, the Savage Tribe, Ogre Clan, Kobold Clan, Demons, Liches, and other forces were even more substantial.
Rare Otherworld monsters and Demon-affiliated creatures were distributed here.
Looking at so many enemies, everyone felt a headache.
Previously, in the city, official power had suppressed the Alien Races.
But coming to the wilderness, they felt a sense of powerlessness!
Yu Rundong patted Bai Yu’s shoulder and said jokingly, “We’ll be counting on you, kid, to go on a rampage!”
“That’s a given! Just wait and see. I’ll take them all down sooner or later!”
Night.
The Bed and Breakfast arranged by the local Investigation Bureau.
Being wanted by the Shadow Alliance, and with a troublesome character like the Red Moon Blade Demon, staying here was obviously not particularly safe.
But…
Heh heh~!
Bai Yu silently looked at the Intelligence gathered tonight.
“134 Intelligence Value, it’s so pleasing to see!”
Moreover, he felt that the cost-effectiveness of Intelligence was increasing recently.
Many important pieces of Intelligence that previously required 20 Intelligence Value were now only selling for five Intelligence Value!
“Perhaps it’s because my strength has improved? Intelligence worth five Intelligence Value should at least have some effect on me now, right?”
“Thinking about it this way makes sense.”
He took a deep breath.
Bai Yu was quite eager to see how much information he would gain after the battle he experienced today.
And whether the Red Moon Blade Demon would come looking for him!
【Intelligence Value: 134】
【Intelligence One（Gray）
Keyword: Tian Sheng
Required Intelligence Value: 1】
【Intelligence Two（White）
Keyword: Modified Being
Required Intelligence Value: 5】
【Intelligence Three（White）
Keyword: Black Lotus Flower Petal
Required Intelligence Value: 5】
【Intelligence Four（Green）
Keyword: Underground River
Required Intelligence Value: 20】
He quickly glanced at it. The first one was a person’s name, as usual. He would check it after making contact.
The second one, Modified Being, was it an experimental report or a den? He would check later.
The third one, Black Lotus Flower Petal, was definitely related to the Black Demon faction!
The fourth one…
“I haven’t seen anything worth twenty Intelligence Value in the past few days.”
“It’s still Intelligence related to the Sea Monster Clan.”
He rubbed his hands.
This time he had arrived at a new place with completely unknown elements.
It was like winning the lottery; he couldn’t help but feel a little excited.
Intelligence Two, redeem!
He had expected some kind of experimental archives, but he never thought it would be WeChat chat records!

***: The signal is bad here, I don’t know if I can send this. I’m so scared! The weather was fine, but suddenly it started raining, and I don’t dare to go out now!
***: Mom! What should I do!? I just saw several more monsters outside the window, their skin was red, looking like flesh and blood, I don’t dare to make a sound.

***: They（Input, not sent）

This piece of Intelligence was presented to him in the form of an image.
The key point was… the time!
And just from these words, and the exclamation marks indicating failed message sending, Bai Yu could feel the fear in his emotions.
“Downstream of Sancha River Town! There are indeed villages there, only about three to four kilometers from the battle site.”
This Intelligence was completely different from previous ones, and it evoked completely different emotions in him!
It was as if, just one wall away, another person was in extreme fear, facing death, yet he knew nothing about it!
“These Blood Monsters must have come the same way, right? Could the entire village have become accomplices of the Vampires? Like a black den such as Tazhai Village.”
After a moment of silence, Bai Yu took a deep breath.
“A Murder Case right next to me, it’s making me a little scared…”
“Hoo, let’s look at the other two pieces of Intelligence to calm down.”

Seeing this Intelligence, Bai Yu was stunned, and then he didn’t know whether to mock or to…
In summary, these guys were really too restless.
And their strength was not enough! They still insisted on investigating privately.
As a result, they were ambushed, right? It also led to casualties among nearby villagers!
It caused a major case!
“And the issuing unit is the Security Bureau! As expected, it involves foreign affairs.”
“August 16th, 7:00 PM, right?”
“Today is the 13th. Even with two Spirit Sea Realm cultivators, they suffered such heavy losses. I definitely can’t handle this; I need to report it to my superiors! Let’s see what they arrange.”
With that said, Bai Yu looked at Intelligence Four.
Underground River!
Now, something worth 20 Intelligence Value must be no small matter, right?
