81_81671 Cangyan Provincial Security Department. Underground interrogation room.

The light from the oil lamp was dim, barely illuminating the entire room. Water droplets dripped from the corners of the room and landed on the flat stone floor, making a faint sound.

Xie Bao was locked to an iron chair in the center of the room, moving and moving. He tilted his head, his body half-reclining, his eyes closed, his hands hanging down naturally, and he looked almost like a dead man. A layer of silver-gray spiritual power seal was tightly attached to him, suppressing the purple-black spiritual veins in his body, sealing all the spiritual power on his body.

A row of iron bars stood in front of him, separating him from a compartment in the interrogation room. Two uniformed vigilantes stood outside the iron bar, staring at him from both directions, as if to prevent him from suddenly breaking free of his iron handcuffs and escaping through the bars.

"This kid was really a child of a family before?" The middle-aged fat man in a leather robe glanced at Xie Bao with suspicion, "The bones are so hard, no matter how you ask, you won't say a word." ”

"A lot of evil spirits are like that," the tall and thin man standing on the other side raised his hand and lifted his glasses, "they sold their personality, dignity, and soul to their upper, to the evil art that devours human life. The willpower of these outlaws is not something we can imagine. ”

"What then?" said the fat man, looking up, "Wait for a few messengers to use that kind of secret hypnotism on him?

"For now, it seems that this is the only way to go," the thin man shook his head, "I reckon that his body and mind have been completely contaminated by evil magic. And I always felt like something had been forcibly inserted into his body. ”

"What is it?" asked the fat man.

"I can't tell," said the thin man, "maybe some kind of drug or gem to control him." ”

Xie Bao's head moved slightly. He didn't move much, and the two guards outside didn't see it. A drop of saliva dripped from the right side of his mouth and landed on the ground around the iron chair.

Doge's Palace. Council Chamber.

Huang Yixiong still sat at the head of the big table in the center of the chamber, and Bai Suxin sat opposite him. Sitting on both sides were replaced by the staff of the Cangyan Provincial Security Department and the security team, as well as the commanders of several spirit division units in and around Cangqing City. In addition, there were several spiritual masters from the Ministry of State Security, sitting around Bai Suxin. A huge map of the three provinces in the northwest region of the Cangling Kingdom was placed in the center of the large table. There are more than a dozen different small markers that resemble chess pieces on the map.

Judging from the confessions of Fu Guoping and several of his subordinates, the Five Beasts Gang had a den around each of the three main cities east of Cangqing City, and each den had at least one action group of the same size as them. ”

The head of the Cangyan Provincial Security Department picked up the slender wooden stick placed on the table, pointed at the map, and gently tapped the small markers placed on the map. These three markers are placed in the southeast of the black dot marking "Munbin Castle", directly north of the black dot of "Bohol Castle", and northeast of the black dot of "Ankyu Castle". There was a fourth marker identical to them, about five centimeters to the right of them, close to the borders of Cangyan Province and Xiliang Province, very close to the Demon Sound Forest.

"Judging from the map, it is very likely that their headquarters is in the territory of Cangyan Province, and it is very likely that it is in the middle of the location of these four action groups. According to Fu Guoping's confession, the various groups did not know each other's situation and did not know the specific scope of activities of the other groups. Only their upline knows the specifics of each group. And the upline of the two action groups, Fu Guoping and Xie Bao, is the woman codenamed Lingzhi. Therefore, we must first catch this Lingzhi before it is possible to find out the location of their headquarters and wipe out these action teams. ”

"Director Yang is right," Huang Yixiong said, "Judging from all the evidence we have so far, more than 70 percent of all the suspected and headless cases in all the drug prohibition cases and kidnapping cases in the entire Cangyan Province are related to them, or there is new evidence pointing to them." This should indicate that there is a high chance that their headquarters will be located within Cangyan Province. Of course, it is not ruled out that they may send people from Xiliang Province to Cangyan Province to send an order. ”

"This shouldn't be possible, right?" a patrol leader raised his hand to speak, "The border between Cangyan Province and Xiliang Province is basically a gathering area for spirit beasts, either barren mountains or rocky mountains, with only a few avenues. Most of these roads are also mountain roads......"

"Captain Ma, don't forget that they all know camouflage," Huang Yixiong said, "Their camouflage skills are much more sophisticated than we imagined, and even General Bai has a hard time spotting and spotting them in the first place." That's where they are at stake. ”

"Yes," the other patrol leader sitting next to Captain Ma raised his hand, "If they can really send an order from Xiliang Province to Cangyan Province in a short period of time, then they will most likely have similar combined flying skills as the spirit envoys." If that, they are more dangerous. They are the equivalent of tons of gunpowder that can explode at any time in any of the loosely defended places within the limits of the two provinces. ”

"That's right," Bai Suxin said, "so we must arrange our personnel and move as quickly as possible." It is possible that they already know that Fu Guoping's group and Xie Bao's group have been captured by us, and there is also news that the Xiangyunlou den has been destroyed by us. Even if you don't know now, you'll know in a very short time. I think that the most feasible way at the moment is to escort Fu Guoping and Xie Bao to Kapok Town, according to their original plan, to connect with Lingzhi, lure her out, and then catch her. ”

"I agree with General White. ”

Director Yang raised the long wooden stick in his hand again and pointed to the map. He was referring to the location where the town of Kapok was located. Judging from the symbols on the map, this Kapok Town is not a very big town, about ten miles away from Cangqing City, and about twenty miles away from Baohe City in the south of Cangqing City. For a third-order or higher spirit master who is good at flying, these two distances are not particularly long. To the southeast of this town is a series of small mountain ranges marked as "Spirit Animal Gathering Area". The name of this mountain range is "Aemagi Mountain Range".

"The east and south sides of Kapok Town are next to the Cangmu Mountains inhabited by spirit beasts, and there are roads to the west, north and northwest to connect with the outside world. If that Lingzhi wants to connect with Fu Guoping and them, it must be from the west or north road to enter Kapok Town. All we have to do is set up an ambush on three sides of Kapok Town, let her into our encirclement, and when she enters, we will surround the three roads to death, and she will have no way to escape. ”

"Then what if she escapes into the Cangmu Mountains?" Huang Yixiong asked, "There is only a dead end road on the south side of the Cangmu Mountains, and there is a mountain road on the east side that leads to the other side. For a spirit master who had cultivated to more than the fourth order and second level, it was not difficult to escape from the Cangmu Mountain Range. What's more, there is also a possibility, that is, the Five Beasts Gang may also have a den in the Cangmu Mountain Range. ”

"Governor Huang, I don't quite understand what you're saying," Captain Ma shook his head again, "How could they have a den in the spirit beast gathering area......?" Can their forbidden medicine manipulate the spirit beasts in the entire mountain range, or can they make them completely invisible or concealed, and completely undetected by the spirit beasts?"

"This shouldn't be possible, right?" Director Yang put down the wooden stick in his hand and turned his head to look at Captain Ma with an expression of disbelief.

"It's not entirely impossible. ”

Everyone set their eyes on Bai Suxin. With the exception of Huang Yixiong and Director Yang, the people sitting in the innermost circle of the table all blinked or shook their heads several times in succession, suspecting that they had misheard.

"It's really hard for them to fool the spirit beasts in the entire mountain range, but it's possible to use some kind of forbidden medicine to emit a smell that is annoying to the spirit beasts, or can weaken their combat power, to ensure that the spirit beasts don't get in their way. ”

Bai Suxin said lightly. No one could see her face under the mask, but everyone in the room could hear the mood swings in her tone.

"I can assure you, though, that none of us need to worry about that. A few of the emissaries and I can lead the troops directly under the Ministry of Security to infiltrate the Cangmu Mountains and lay another layer of defense without disturbing the spirit beasts. ”

"Then there is General Lao Bai," Huang Yixiong raised his hand, "It would be difficult for ordinary armies and spirit master troops to infiltrate the Cangmu Mountains on a large scale without disturbing the spirit beasts. If there is really a den of the Five Beasts hidden in it, this will be even more difficult. ”

"Wow, wow, wow. There was a slight knock on the door.

"Please come in!" Huang Yixiong turned his head and glanced in the direction of the door of the council hall.

A young guard in uniform walked in quickly, took out a letter from the pocket of his uniform, handed it to Huang Yixiong with both hands, saluted, and walked out the door.

"Oh, from the front-line headquarters?" Huang Yixiong took the letter, raised his hand, and released a spiritual power fluctuation to unlock the spiritual power seal on the envelope. This spiritual seal is set up in a certain order, the principle is similar to that of a lock, and only those who know how the seal code is arranged can use spiritual power to open it - just like a key to open a lock. Only those who have cultivated one rank or higher than the sealer may be able to forcibly break it. He pulled out the letter and read it quickly.

Several white-clothed spirit masters who were sitting around Bai Suxin and directly under the Ministry of Security got up from their chairs one after another, left the table at Bai Suxin's signal, and left the conference hall through another door.

"It's Commander Long's letter," Huang Yixiong put the letter back on the table, "The letter said that the joint command department judged that the headquarters of the Five Beasts Gang should be within the scope of Xiliang Province, not in Cangyan Province. ”

"Huh?"

"Why?"

Except for Huang Yixiong and Bai Suxin, all the people in the room felt a little confused, looking at each other, and didn't know what to say for a while
