As time passed, the sound of fighting in the factory gradually subsided.

After the burly man was killed by Fu Cheng, the remaining heretics were also killed by the gods, and only a few three or four became prisoners, who were quickly restrained and taken away.

Fu Mengjie looked around, didn't find Lin Ze's figure, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart, secretly saying that the guy should have died at the hands of heretics, but as soon as this thought appeared, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Lin Ze flashing out of the corner, unharmed, not to mention, not even gasping for breath.

"This guy is really fateful!" Fu Mengjie was secretly annoyed, a newly promoted one-star god disciple could actually survive a battle of this intensity, his luck was too good.

Lin Ze looked at Fu Mengjie's unkind gaze in his eyes, and ignored it in his heart, but quietly approached Fu Cheng's position, who was gathering around the burly man's corpse with two Yan-level divine disciples, discussing something in a low voice.

"That's right, it's a weasel!" a Yan-level priest turned the back of the burly man's hand over, and it was painted with a pitch-black tattoo pattern, which looked like a weasel with sharp claws, "and it is a sickle pattern!"

"Sure enough, it's the two haunting guys of the Weasel and the Pattern Master!"

Fu Cheng's brows furrowed, a look of jealousy appeared on his face, and he instructed the two Yan-level divine disciples, "Report this matter to the upper authorities immediately after you go back!"

"Yes!" the two replied in unison.

Lin Ze, who was not far away, listened to their words in his ears, and felt slightly curious in his heart.

Looking at Fu Cheng's demeanor, the two people in his mouth seemed to be heretics who had been hostile to the sect for a long time, and their strength was not bad.

On the other side, Fu Mengjie had already counted the casualties and came over to report to Fu Cheng.

After a battle, the Divine Disciples' side killed a full five flame-level Divine Disciples, close to a quarter of the total manpower, and the losses were not small.

"In addition, there are heretics who have broken through the back door of the factory, and the city bureau guarding there has been completely wiped out. ”

Fu Cheng didn't care about the deaths and injuries of ordinary people, and immediately said when he heard the words: "Let the city bureau send more people to search the entire factory area, and we must find out the heretics who escaped!"

"Yes!" Fu Mengjie nodded heavily, turned around and walked outside.

Before long, a large number of police officers poured into the factory.

After the battle, the hands and tails were handed over to the city bureau to deal with, and the disciples were preparing to leave under the leadership of Fu Cheng.

When he walked out of the factory gate, Lin Ze looked up and saw Fu Mengjie standing in front of several police heads, saying something loudly with a lofty expression, while the latter nodded and smiled.

Soon, the Fire Infant Sect members set out on their return journey.

When he returned to the sect headquarters and the team was disbanded, Lin Ze immediately changed his uniform and drove away.

He first walked around the city, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he came to the old neighborhood in the northwest of Chihuo City.

After finding a place to park the car, Lin Ze immediately followed the connection in the dark and slowly walked towards the location he sensed.

When he was in the factory, the reason why he allowed and assisted the heretic girl to escape was half because he wanted her to lead him to the heretic's hideout, so when the girl fled, he had secretly summoned a spirit beast feathered bird to quietly follow behind.

And right now, in Lin Ze's senses, the feathered bird is standing motionless in one place, which is obviously another hiding place for heresy.

Compared to the bustling city center, the old neighborhood in the remote corner of Chihuo City is a different scene.

The shabby and dilapidated buildings are stacked crookedly and high, and the streets are potholed, littered with stagnant water and plastic bags, and the walls on both sides are painted with children's graffiti.

A tree with a crooked neck stands in the corner, its branches and leaves stretching out crookedly, bringing a touch of greenery to the dilapidated street.

At this time, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, and the streets without street lights were extremely dim, and Lin Ze walked on the quiet old streets. As he approached the sensing location, he reached out and wiped it on his face, and a mask with a silver luster instantly appeared, covering his face.

The place where the feather bird is located is an old two-story building, and the cement has peeled off in many places on the outside wall under the invasion of time, and the cracks are clearly visible.

As Lin Ze's mind moved, the feathered bird standing on the edge of the rooftop turned into a little light particle and dissipated.

At this time, the people in the building had already noticed that someone was approaching, and a low shout immediately came from inside:

"Who!"

Lin Ze didn't answer, he stretched out his hand and pressed the wooden door and was about to push it open, when suddenly there was a sound of breaking the air above Meng Buding's head, and a young man jumped down from the window on the second floor, stretched out his foot and kicked his head.

Lin Ze didn't look at it, the lightning probed his hand, just grabbed the young man's ankle, and then shook his hand towards the ground on his side, and heard a muffled sound, the young man's face and the ground came into close contact, and he fainted without snorting.

Simply and neatly dealt with the sneak attacker, he continued to push the door in.

The wooden door that had been in disrepair slowly opened, making a piercing creaking sound, and Lin Ze looked up to see that there were only two people in the crowded room, the girl and the little girl he saw during the day.

Combined with the unconscious young man outside, there were only three people in total.

"It seems to be just an ordinary hideout, not a stronghold of heresy. Lin Ze was slightly disappointed, but quickly adjusted his mood and looked at the girl who was guarding the little girl behind him.

"Who are you?, it's a crime to trespass on a house!" the girl cried out in a deep voice.

"Isn't it you heretics who are the most lawless?" Lin Ze glanced at the girl who had changed color and shook his head slightly, "Don't worry, I'm not arresting you, I just have a few questions I want to ask you." ”

The girl was stunned when she heard this, her brows furrowed tightly, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, but her eyes swept over the young man who fainted outside the door, and she was silent for a few seconds, and finally decided not to be tough with the other party, and said helplessly:

"What do you want to ask?"

"Why are you going against the sect?"

The girl didn't expect that the other party was asking this, so she couldn't help but look at him a few times strangely: "It seems that you are really not a member of the sect." ”

Lin Ze didn't say a word, and looked at her for a long time.

Seeing this, the girl had no choice but to give up the temptation and asked instead, "Have you ever heard of the phenomenon of devouring in the middle of the night?"

Late-night devouring phenomenon?

Lin Ze raised his eyebrows: "Is it related to the strange changes in Chihuo City after twelve o'clock?"

Now it was the girl's turn to wonder: "After twelve o'clock, what happened to Chihuo City at that time?"

Lin Ze was stunned, the heretics didn't know about it?

After a few seconds of silence, he shook his head and said to the girl, "You go on." ”

The girl glanced at him in surprise, and then continued: "The phenomenon of late-night devouring is a phenomenon that has existed since the establishment of the Fire Infant Sect, which refers to people suddenly disappearing after the night has passed, and no matter how you look for it, you can't find anyone, and according to the information we investigated, the same cases happen every day in Chihuo City, as few as one or two cases, and sometimes even four or five cases, but they are all covered up by the Fire Infant Sect, so they have not spread. ”

Speaking of this, the girl glanced at the little girl behind her, and said with a hint of sadness in her tone:

"My brother, as well as Xiaoyu's mother, are all victims of the late-night devouring phenomenon!"

"They all slept at home well, but when they woke up the next day, there was no one to see, after which we immediately called the police, trying to find their whereabouts through the police, but it didn't take long for the Fire Infant Sect to find the door, asking us to give up the search immediately, and directly dispose of my brother and Xiaoyu's mother as dead!"

"We protested several times, but we were ignored by the Fire Infant Sect, and the city bureau stopped helping us because of this, so we had no choice but to investigate privately, until we met Lord Weasel and Master Pattern Master not long ago, until it turned out that the phenomenon of devouring in the middle of the night was caused by the Fire Infant Sect, and all those who disappeared died at their hands!"

The girl bit her lip tightly, her eyes full of hatred.

Lin Ze was silent for a moment before asking, "How do you know that what that Weasel and the Pattern Master said is true?"

"I was also skeptical, and the reason why I joined the heretical organization was just to find my family through their power, until later in an operation, we captured a high-ranking priest alive, and under torture, we finally determined that the late-night devouring phenomenon was secretly carried out by the Fire Infant Sect, and the missing people were indeed all dead. ”

"That high-level disciple didn't say how the missing person disappeared?" Lin Ze asked.

"He doesn't know it himself, it is said that this is a high-level secret, and only those who are close to the gods know about it!"

"Someone close to the gods...... Lin Ze groaned.

The Near-God Cultivator is the highest-ranking person in power in the Fire Infant Sect, with only five people, and it is said that the lowest one of them has a seven-star level, and he is a well-deserved big man in Red Fire City.

"In this way, I am afraid that the phenomenon of late-night devouring is really related to the Fire Infant Sect, and the prohibition of going out after twelve o'clock is mostly derived from this, and it is very likely that there is some kind of danger in the Red Fire City at that time, so that ordinary people and even gods will disappear. ”

Lin Ze originally thought that all the ordinary people in Chihuo City would disappear after twelve o'clock, but now it seems that this is not the case, except for the gods, there are still a few people who will appear at that time.

"So, the remaining question is what is the danger that caused ordinary people to disappear during that time period?"

From the words of the girl in front of her, it can be inferred that ordinary heretics do not know the truth behind it, and most of them are only known to two people named Weasel and the Pattern Master, and other than that, they are the near-gods of the Fire Infant Sect.

If you want to know the truth, you can only start from these two aspects.

While Lin Ze was pondering, the girl continued: "The members of the heresy, there are basically important people around them who disappeared into the late-night devouring phenomenon, and they joined the organization in order to take revenge on the Fire Infant Sect, this is the reason why we have been fighting against the sect!"

"There is no need for a sect like this to mutilate the lives of compatriots, and the so-called gods are not worth believing in at all!"
