Cangyan Provincial Governor's Palace. Council Chamber.

Huang Yixiong is still sitting in the main seat of the council room. Government officials and military officers and researchers are still sitting on the west side. Everyone's face was very ugly. The vast majority of people had anger and anxiety written on their faces, and a small number had heavier grief written on their faces.

Bai Suxin sat on the main seat on the other side. Her face was expressionless, but there was a hint of tiredness in the corners of her eyes. A faint layer of ice-blue light surrounded her body, releasing faint spiritual power fluctuations in three directions.

On the seats on the east side were only Ye Hengyuan, Lei Xi and Long Lin. Long Lin also put on a dark brown mask, but did not change his clothes.

"Governor Huang," Bai Suxin said, "the five Assassins should have been caught by now, right? According to my detection, two people were killed and the other three were captured alive. ”

"Yes, General Bai," Huang Yixiong nodded heavily, "the security team has taken them all to the Provincial Security Department for interrogation. At present, we can be sure that they are from the same underground spirit master organization, and they are an underground organization that cultivates evil arts. This attack was a planned and premeditated attack. But their purpose is not like to assassinate me. ”

"Yes," Bai Suxin also nodded, but her expression became serious, "This question can only be determined after the interrogation of their confessions." The only thing I can be sure of at the moment is that this kind of evil art they practice must be a very rare one, which can not only shield their own aura, but also strengthen the camouflage ability of their appearance. With my perception, I couldn't tell that they were assassins in the first place. ”

"You and all the spirit envoys have minimized the losses," Huang Yixiong stood up and bowed to Bai Suxin, "Thank you. ”

"Thank you. ”

All the people sitting in the seats on the west side stood up and bowed. Bai Suxin and the four of them immediately got up and saluted.

"Mr. Governor. ”

"Huh?" Huang Yixiong turned around and looked at Long Lin.

"I saw that the Assassin had a dark red tattoo in the shape of a fox on his waist. Long Lin said.

"Oh?"

"Arc?"

"Is it an arc?"

The government officials in the chairs on the west side couldn't help but ask.

"It's not the arc of the arc," Long Lin shook his head, "it's the fox's fox." A few years ago, when I went with my father to the northern border to suppress bandits, I saw similar tattoos on the spirits of the 'Seven Beast Gang' entrenched in the northern provinces. I still remember that the 'Seven Beast Gang' was very powerful, mainly entrenched in the border areas of the northern provinces, and there were many evil spirits in the gang. At that time, it took several months for the troops sent by the Central Army Corps and the Northern Permanent Army and the Security Corps to eradicate them. I think these people may be the remnants of the 'Seven Beast Gang'. ”

"Yes," Ye Hengyuan stood up again and added, "The assassin I killed also had a similar tattoo on his waist. However, the tattoo on his body does not look like a fox, but rather a leopard. I don't know exactly what it is. ”

"If that's the case, then there's a good chance they're the remnants of the Seven Beast Gang. ”

An officer with the rank of colonel stood up from his seat. The colonel's physique was barely strong, but his face was relatively thin, his face was pale, and he wore a pair of glasses, giving him a sense of civility and politeness.

"According to the information we have, the core members of the Seven Beasts Gang had seven kinds of tattoos, namely lions, tigers, bears, leopards, wolves, foxes, and eagles. The seven tattoos are basically dark tones, with a predominance of black, deep purple and maroon. This is exactly what Mr. Spiriteer said about the situation of the Assassins. ”

"Hmm. Quite possibly. ”

Huang Yixiong stood up from the main seat again.

"If this is the case, then we must hunt down their comrades in the shortest possible time and wipe them out! To the common people, they are a much greater threat than the enemy forces ahead!"

"Governor Huang, is the whole city under martial law now, and are all security work in place?" Bai Suxin asked.

"It's basically in place," Huang Yixiong nodded, "I hope there won't be any more casualties." ”

"Yes," Bai Suxin nodded, "I have sent someone to report to the central government and ask for support." Tracking down the underground evil spirits is not a trivial matter. In a few moments, we will assist the Security Service in interrogating the Assassins. We must get out of their mouths their organization, their purpose and their contacts. ”

"Hmm. ”

Huang Yixiong nodded, turned around, and faced Ye Hengyuan and Long Lin.

"Honorable three emissaries, can you tell us more about the process by which you killed those two assassins, and their strength?"

"No problem. ”

Long Lin cleared his throat and looked directly into Huang Yixiong's gaze. The adjutant and the two clerks who were sitting next to him immediately took a pen and began to take notes.

"The commander ordered me to escort a batch of supplies with several officers from the forward joint command. At that time, we had just arrived at the north gate and were about to hand over this batch of supplies, when we suddenly found that there was an evil spiritual power fluctuating near the city wall, and we also saw that the civilians around the city gate seemed to be a little chaotic. I felt the empathy of the other two messengers, and I chased after them. As I rushed over, I detected that the Assassin had kidnapped a little girl and used her as a shield. Everyone else present was afraid of accidentally injuring the little girl, so they didn't dare to take action easily. I shot the assassin in the head and saved the little girl. At that time, the assassin had already been devoured by his own evil arts, and he had lost most of his sanity, and his actual combat power had basically reached the third and eighth levels, which was close to the level of the fourth order. ”

Government officials and military officers have set their sights on Long Lin. Many people's eyes are full of appreciation, even admiration. Although they are not very good at spiritual power cultivation, they are better at looking at people. Most of them couldn't detect Long Lin's strength level, but they knew that in this case, the actual combat strength of a person who could kill a robber with a single move and rescue the hostages in an instant could also reach at least the fifth order. They could also see that Long Lin's actual age was definitely less than thirty years old.

Ye Hengyuan and Lei Xi also glanced at Long Lin, but their emotions were different. The emotion in Ye Hengyuan's eyes was just admiration, while Lei Xi's eyes seemed to be a little complicated, and he couldn't see anything for a while.

Half an hour later.

Cangyan Provincial Security Department. Basement level.

The passage was dark, with a faint light every dozen steps. The entire basement floor is very different from the above-ground office area, except for a few cubicles near the staircase for office workers or vigilantes to rest, all the other rooms are rows of interrogation rooms. The only difference here is that all the rooms are separated by brick walls and wooden doors, just like the rooms on the ground, rather than by iron bars. In addition to the lock, the door of each room is also equipped with a simple demon guide, as long as the door is locked from the inside, no ordinary person can open it from the outside, let alone know the situation.

At this moment, there was a faint light in the room with only two cubicles, and the rest of the cubicles were all pitch black.

The footsteps of five people could be heard from above the hallway. From a distance, it sounded like the footsteps of the two people in front were powerful, step by step. The footsteps of the three people in the back were so light that they couldn't hear clearly without pricking up their ears.

Two uniformed vigilantes stepped down. They each carried a lamp in their hands, just enough to illuminate the road ahead of them. Ye Hengyuan, Lei Xi, and Long Lin followed, and a faint light was released from their bodies, illuminating the surroundings of their bodies. All three of them took off their masks, took off their armor, and changed into lighter uniforms.

"Honorable three emissaries," said the vigilante on the left, "all five Assassins are now being held here for interrogation by our staff. These * things are like stones in the pit, smelly and hard, and they don't say anything no matter how they ask. ”

Lei Xi frowned, and there was an unhappy expression on his face.

"Oh...... Yes, I'm sorry," the tall, dark-haired vigilante immediately apologized for his gaffe, "I forgot there's another woman here. ”

"Better pay attention. Long Lin reminded him lightly.

"Huh?"

Ye Hengyuan raised his head and glanced in the direction of the compartment. His gaze fell on the door of the cubicle near the hallway.

A golden glow filled the room, illuminating the cubicles of less than fifteen square meters. The whole room was warm, and the temperature was several degrees higher than in the hallway. Although houses in the northwest and northern regions of Cangling Country generally have thermal insulation systems, the temperature in the basement at this depth is not very different from that on the ground.

Xue Mengyi was suspended in mid-air, her whole person remained standing, her eyes were closed, and her feet were off the ground. She muttered something softly, her two tender red lips twitching softly. A golden-colored nucleus swirled slowly around her chest. A ring of yellow and white runes encircled her waist, releasing a faint element of light. These light elements are not very strong, but they contain a bit of holy aura.

Gradually, the spiritual power fluctuations on her body gradually changed color, from golden to pure gold. Then, several faint snow-white rays of light were released from her, like snow and frost.

A faint snow-white figure slowly appeared behind her. This figure is the angelic phantom that once appeared in front of the mother nucleus. It's just that this time the light of the angel phantom is much lighter than the last time, and it looks almost no texture, the whole body is snow-white, and only the hair is pale yellow.

"Oooo

"Huh?"

Xue Mengyi opened her eyes gently, slowly withdrew all the spiritual power released, and fell back to the ground. The micro-spirit core and the angelic phantom were withdrawn into her body at the same time. The room immediately darkened, except for a small oil lamp hanging on the wall.

"Brother Hengyuan, come in. ”

Ye Hengyuan gently pushed open the door, walked in, and closed the door.

"Brother Hengyuan, did you just come over?" Xue Mengyi asked
