Chapter 184: Capricious
Refining the Soul Devouring Cloth took a lot of effort and effort, so that Shang Tao, who was originally full of energy, returned to the appearance of never getting enough sleep before.
With his current mental strength, under normal circumstances, he will not be tired for a few days and nights without rest.
But after only a few hours of continuous refining of the Soul Eater Cloth, he was drowsy.
had no choice but to withdraw from the soul space and fall asleep.
He didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning.
At breakfast, Liu Wenjun told him that Dong Weiguo had come to him several times.
Shang Tao called Dong Weiguo, "Director Dong, what are you looking for me early in the morning?"
Dong Weiguo euphemistically expressed on the phone that he should cooperate more with the work of the institute.
Shang Tao didn't embarrass him, he agreed, and asked casually: "Is there a task for 'slaying ghosts' today?"
There was silence on the other end of the conversation, probably considering whether to tell the truth, but finally said: "The second team set off at 5 o'clock in the morning." ”
"So what's going on now? have they dealt with it and come back?" Shang Tao asked.
Dong Weiguo said: "The incident occurred in a garbage dump on the outskirts of the city, and the nearby villagers found that someone had been missing recently, and after calling the police, it was suspected that it was a mutant, but no trace of it has been found yet." ”
"So the mutant is hiding?" Shang Tao touched his chin, these ghost things, without the command of the spirit ghost, are becoming more and more intelligent.
The original mutant threw himself up when he saw people, killing frantically, and didn't know how to hide at all.
He used to be like a mad dog, but now he is more and more like a lone wolf, sinister and cunning, knowing how to hunt slowly and hide carefully.
"I'm going to go over, Director Dong, you can arrange it. Shang Tao said as a matter of course.
"Okay, I'll arrange it. ”
Dong Weiguo hung up the phone, he had a headache, lit a cigarette and was about to smoke it, but the phone rang again.
There are not many people who know about his phone number, and it is really the aunt and grandmother from the research institute.
When he picked up the phone, he was questioned, in short, why he hadn't seen Shang Tao report to the institute yet.
He casually made an excuse and promised to let Shang Tao report in the afternoon.
finally calmed Sun Sihui down, and the phone rang again, this time it was Zhou Xingyang, asking him to urge the new equipment of the research institute.
He took a deep breath of his cigarette and felt that he, the head of the Special Investigation Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was so much like a nanny.
The coordination work between various departments needs to be done, the intelligence work needs to be managed, and now even a few little children have to be calmed down.
Shang Tao was ready to go out, Liu Wenjun had already received a notice and was waiting for him in full gear.
Since he knew that Shang Tao would follow the 'ghost slaying' to carry out the mission at any time, Liu Wenjun's weapons and equipment were applied to be placed in his residence so that they could be used at any time.
Riding in the black SUV that had been issued to him, and in front of him was a Ministry of Internal Affairs sedan leading the way, and the two cars left the base and headed for the outskirts of the city.
When Chen Hongyi came to the apartment, Shang Tao was no longer there, and when he asked, he found out that this guy had gone out to find the 'ghost slayer' team.
He originally wanted to discuss the issue of the talisman, but he didn't know that he was in vain.
"This kid is really willful, Sun Sihui's chick can be regarded as meeting an opponent. He laughed gloatingly.
Shang Tao and the others went all the way to the outskirts of a garbage disposal site on the outskirts of the city, which had been completely cordoned off.
The person in charge of the site has been notified and originally wanted to introduce the situation, but Shang Tao went straight to the point.
"Now where is the focus of suspicion? I want to go in and join the search team. ”
"Alright, the landfill to the southeast is a key search site, and judging by all the traces, the mutant may be hiding inside. Now the ghost slayer team is in that direction. ”
He explained the situation on the walkie-talkie, and the leader of the second squad came out to pick up Shang Tao and Liu Wenjun.
After the last two incidents, the special combat team members had no resistance to Shang Tao's arrival.
I just feel a little incomprehensible, and I can't understand how this kid can have so much enthusiasm.
"The landfill is relatively large, and the mutants are more dangerous, so we can only search carefully and slowly, so the progress is a little slow, and no trace of the mutants has been found now. The team leader introduced.
Shang Tao nodded, releasing a spiritual field, sensing the surrounding situation.
The special operators divided into several groups, holding detectors, carefully searched the entire landfill.
"Well, what's going on over there?" Shang Tao pointed to a pit.
The special combat team member who brought them in had a solemn face, "Seven or eight corpses were found there, and they had almost been eaten. ”
Shang Tao walked to the edge of the pit, only to see that it was full of stumps and broken arms, and the flesh and blood were flowing sideways, which was very miserable and terrifying.
He stared at the corpse pit unmoved, pointing down, "There's a hole under the corpse, and the mutant should be hiding inside." ”
The team leader was shocked, and hurriedly gathered the people who were scattered to search and explained the situation.
A special combat team member with a detector said, "I probed it just now, but I didn't find anything abnormal." ”
Shang Tao said lightly: "The hole is a little deep, seven or eight meters underground." ”
The special combat team members were skeptical, if it was really that deep, it would be normal if it couldn't be detected, but if it was really so deep that there were mutants hiding under the hole, how did you know?
Shang Tao saw through their thoughts, "I have an ability, and the research assesses that it is malicious perception, and an extremely strong malice rises from the ground, and it is difficult to know it." ”
Everyone was stunned and hurriedly arranged their actions.
Two special operators cautiously went down to move the body, and the others were on guard at the side.
Removing the corpse revealed a swarthy hole.
"These ghosts, not only can hide, but they can even make holes, which is really getting more and more difficult to deal with. The squad leader looked solemn.
Two grenades were thrown from the hole, boom!
Smoke and dust came out of the hole, and screams were heard.
The sound of rustling quickly began from the bottom up, and it was clear that the deviant below had not yet been killed.
The special combat personnel on the edge of the pit had long been prepared, and before the hideous mutant appeared, it was strafed and beaten into a hornet's nest in the blink of an eye.
"The mutant is dead, prepare the spirit bullet. The squad leader said.
Shang Tao waved his hand, "No, I'll deal with it." ”
Looking at the devouring ghosts emerging from the corpse, Shang Tao's spiritual tentacles began to draw talismans in the void.
In a short time, a five-thunder rune will be completed, input spiritual energy, and activate.
Crackling, a thin bolt of lightning struck the black shadow above the corpse accurately.
The Eater screamed and was split into a mist.
The spiritual tentacles rolled up the small beads of light that floated and sank and sent them to Shang Tao.
"Found soul energy, the amount is 20 units, do you want to absorb it?"
"Absorb!"
The corners of Shang Tao's mouth curled, "I didn't expect that 20 points of power soul could be obtained so easily, and following the 'ghost slaying' action is really the best way to earn soul energy." ”
