Chapter 381
In front of the collapsed compound, the atmosphere was heavy.
A beaming light illuminated the dark courtyard.
“It has been determined that the identity of the deceased is Deputy Director Liang of the Security Bureau. With the peak of Seventh Awakening strengths, he was competent and good at swordsmanship.”
“Now the question is… why Deputy Director Liang appeared here and why did he die here?”
“What was Director Huang think?”
Many people looked at the director of the Security Bureau with wary eyes.
Director Huang frowned, “Old Liang was not on duty tonight, but he was very attentive to the investigation of the ‘Final Cult’ during this period of time. He must have found a clue and tracked it out before he was killed, we need to uncover the murderer as soon as possible!”
Another top expert of the Ancestral Dragon scanned a corner of the courtyard densely packed with holes, “Director Huang, don’t jump to conclusions too early. If the killer is the “Final Cult” who attack on the orphanage, there’s no way they could make such a big mess with Deputy Director Liang who had strength at the peak of the Seventh Awakening. To put it bluntly, there were two Seventh Awakening hunters at the orphanage.”
“It’s possible that Deputy Director Liang had a connection to this event.”
Thinking back to Liang’s somewhat unusual actions recently, Director Huang slightly thought. If there was a mole in the Security Bureau, even if he really did not know, this hole was still too big to be covered.
He collected his facial expression and said forcefully, “Impossible. Perhaps the deputy director Liang bumped into a small part of the cult, so he resisted.”
Several forensic doctors wearing white coats and gloves had begun to identify the scene. But the hunters, especially combat ability hunters with identification equipment, had difficulties getting the results.
Pingliang had a hard time dealing with the Final God Cult. More than a hundred hunters from all sides gathered outside the compound. They didn’t leave and waited.
Director Huang and Ancestral Dragon experts, too, fell silent. They have their own views. But the only way to decide everything is with evidence.
After another ten minutes, several hunters arrived in a hurry.
Everyone’s eyes fell on one of the young men in his early thirties. This was a precious person with a backtracking ability. The orphanage backtracked last time was also done by this person.
The ability person, clearly aware of his mission, stepped inside the collapsed courtyard. He swept his eyes over the ripples of the battlefield and finally found the right angle.
“My mirror flashback which can envelop a range of sixteen meters should be able to recreate the scene just now at once… Then, I’ll begin.”
As soon as the voice fell, the ability hunter stretched out his hands and opened his five fingers, aiming at the wretched ground ahead.
The mist was dense.
A few seconds later, a huge mirror appeared in front of the eyes of the hunters. It was like staying in front of a screen and watching a movie.
Inside the mirror, it was pitch black, and you could vaguely see the scene before the courtyard was destroyed.
Not long after that…
A figure wearing a black cloak appeared in the mirror. They saw the cloaked figure gently leaping from the courtyard wall and landing on the rubble of the eaves with a vigorous posture. There was no sound in the backtracking scene, but from the scene, the hunter masters present can judge that this jump was excellent, and there was almost no sound. He’s a master at stealth.
“Could it be that this is the cult hunter who assassinated Vice Bureau Liang?”
This kind of thought has just begun to appear.
In the mirror, the roof bursts with rubble, and a bright knife light is cut out from the inside so suddenly.
Even if it was just a backtracking, they could feel the strong and unmatched momentum, and they were shocked. —Putting themselves in their place, if they were the cloaked man, they would probably be killed on the spot.
The cloaked man, however, took a gentle leap to avoid the deadly killing chance.
The next scene that happened was even more shocking to the many experts present.
One of the cloaked men fought against the silhouette of the attacker inside the house. In just a few seconds, the aftermath collapsed half of the courtyard.
The night was dark, and in the backtracking mirror disturbed by source power, the figures were very blurred. They couldn’t see clearly the cloaked man’s face or the silhouette inside the house. But they were able to glimpse the speed, force and destructive power…
“It’s at least the peak of the Ninth Awakening, I’m not as good as them!” One of the top Ancestral Dragon experts said, his face became more and more gloomy.
Hearing this, the people around him immediately froze. The one who talked was one of the experts from Ancestral Dragon regiment’s commander at the peak of Ninth Awakening. His power suppressed the entire Pingliang shelter. There were not many people who had this kind of power.
But the people who fought were stronger than him?
That’s a lie, right?
But in the mirror, the silent battles made their eyes unable to keep up with the speed, endless murderous intent, but it was no joke to tell these people there.
“What kind of ability is this? Turning hair into steel needles, ten thousand needles in unison? It’s simply terrifying!”
“Wait, this ability…” Someone looked to the side, the wall and ground with a thousand holes, “It’s the one who attacked the orphanage with the ability! It’s from the Final Cult!”
What a plot twist.
It was even more thrilling than watching a small movie.
Until the end, Cai Jiajia used the instantaneous slash to finish the silhouette. The people present were sweating. Because their level wasn’t high enough to see the mystery. They could only feel the special effects.
The battle only lasted ten seconds before the silhouette died. They saw the cloaked man bend down and reached his hand towards the attacker, seemingly searching for the loot…
Bzzz…
The backtracking mirror suddenly became very unstable and dissipated with a bang the next moment.
“What’s going on! How come it’s gone at the most critical moment! Last time when we went back to the orphanage, the 30 seconds battle didn’t consume most of the source power!” Director Huang was anxious.
The other experts’ eyes focused on the backtracking ability hunter.
Dropping the chain at the critical moment made them very upset.
The backtracking ability person’s face was pale and was already close to crying. “That… those people are too strong and interfered badly, the source power flowed much faster than that time in the orphanage, I… I have no source power left.”
After saying that, the backtracking ability hunter fainted, not knowing whether it was too much consumption or he couldn’t bear the ghostly gaze of the big brothers and chose to faint once and for all.
Director Huang, the head of the city guard, and the Ancestral Dragon commander and the others felt regret.
But they knew that interfering backtracking could lessen the picture quality. Even if they continued watching, there’s no guarantee if they could find anything useful. So they waited for the hunter’s source power to regenerate.
Even if there’s no ending, just a few seconds of backtracking has made a lot of things clear.
Director Huang’s expression darkened, and he stopped talking. Many commanders, captains and chief-level figures frequently swept their gaze on him.
In the end, it was an Ancestral Dragon commander who stepped forward to preside over.
“Although there’s no direct evidence yet, we can assume Deputy Director Liang’s identity as the Cult member. And also the orphanage incident. But… in the end, what is the identity of the cloaked men that were stronger than him?”
He shook his head.
Once again, the entire shelter fell under martial law.
The traitor was found, but an unknown figure with top combat power appeared…
