Chapter 59: Chapter 58: The Evil On Must Die (Part 4)_1
Su Gao’s words were as sparse as ever, and seeing that Fu Qian was deep in thought, she maintained her silence and did not speak further.
The two Night Watchn had already stopped by the ho of the decapitated woman for an investigation, leaving only the two of them in the car.
Fu Qian took note of the scenery outside.
It must be said that the place was still quite picturesque, with ancient-style buildings, bustling crowds, and leisurely strolls in the warm sunshine.
It was hard to imagine any disaster befalling them.
They were on their way to the Night Watchn Base in Xi Yuan City.
Su Gao had just ntioned that the Night Watchn Base here had so information about “Evil Ons,” and suggested that Fu Qian might want to take a look.
Naturally, Fu Qian was more than eager to do so.
As the world’s most deserving first organization, getting so information about targets from the Night Watchn would be great for him.
Unable to co up with any leads about the disaster, Fu Qian refocused his attention on Su Gao.
Curved Sword resting on her lap, Su Gao sat quietly, and one could hardly sense the presence of a living person in her.
Less than a third of the flesh on her face was real, the rest was exposed bone as white as porcelain, almost making her appear like a dilapidated life-sized doll.
But Fu Qian knew very well that compared to last ti, her strength had increased by more than just a little bit.
It was difficult to imagine what had happened in between.
Executioner Yan, such a title sounded murderous and suggested a high status within the Night Watchn organization.
It seed to be the role of a Hunter, not limited by location, pursuing criminals everywhere.
According to Su Gao, she had applied to join this special division after the last incident.
The impact of that incident on her was surely not as trivial as she had described.
However, since she did not bring it up herself, Fu Qian would not ask.
“So now you’re like a Hunter, specifically pursuing targets that are on the Night Watchn’s list?”
“Yes,”
Su Gao lowered her eyes and nodded lightly.
“It feels like… I am more suited for this kind of work.”
This kind of work? Hunting?
Then you truly are among the top experts!
Fu Qian touched his chest, forgoing other aspects, the girl’s knife skills were remarkably ferocious.
Of course, this was undoubtedly a good thing for him.
A powerful teammate of at least Middle Tier, and even a mber of a special operations departnt, was perfectly suited for the task at hand.
During their conversation, they had already reached the Night Watchn Base of Xi Yuan City.
Unlike the grand and imposing building of Qi Xue and his team, this place appeared much more modest.
An old, dark-red, three-story building, which from the outside looked quite old.
“Executioner Yan, how is the situation?”
No sooner had they entered than soone ca out to et them.
The man appeared to be in his forties, with slightly graying temples and very casual clothes.
The newcor seed surprised to see Fu Qian, puzzled how an extra person had co back from the trip.
Thus, his gaze turned to Su Gao, hoping she would explain.
“It was definitely done by a Transcendent, but we can’t confirm yet if it’s the Evil On.”
Su Gao nodded.
“Captain Qiao, please help get the information on the Evil On.”
The captain? So this person was the person in charge of Xi Yuan City?
Fu Qian sized up this Captain Qiao before him, who indeed seed a notch stronger than Lu Jun and the others, probably around Seventh Phase.
Xi Yuan City was not large, but no matter what, the staffing of the Night Watchn here seed excessively ager.
Hearing that Su Gao wanted to see the Evil On files again, Captain Qiao clearly showed so confusion.
After hesitating for a mont, he still mustered the courage to address Fu Qian.
“This is…?”
“This is Mr. Fu.”
Without waiting for Fu Qian to respond, Su Gao imdiately said.
And then what?
Captain Qiao looked expectantly at Su Gao for a few seconds, hoping she would say more, but unfortunately, she seed to be sparing with words, just looking at him.
In the end, Captain Qiao could not withstand the pressure and went to fetch a file from the back.
“Thank you!”
Su Gao reached out and took it without hesitation, imdiately handing it over to Fu Qian.
Captain Qiao’s eyes bulged in astonishnt. This was all secret information!
But rembering the rumors about this man who would attack without a word, he still held back and dared not speak.
And it really was only a tiny bit of information!
Fu Qian felt the thin stack of a few pages in his hand, the majority of which were the cri records of Evil On.
As for his personal information, except for being a man, there was almost nothing.
However, from these cri records, an obvious taste of savage killing could be made out. Most of the bodies were disfigured and mutilated, so even missing internal organs, with the notes ntioning “possible consumption.”
“Why is this guy called ‘Evil On’?”
Fu Qian flipped through the information quickly and was reminded of a question.
“He claid that na himself,”
Su Gao explained softly on the side.
“The target once left a similar ssage after committing a cri and from then on, that na beca the standard reference.”
“It looks like his targets are still primarily Transcendents?”
He had just noticed that most of the victims were still Transcendents, with very few ordinary people involved.
“Yes, but there seems to be almost no commonality among the victims. At present, it seems he kills just for the sake of killing.”
“In fact, if you include the recent incident, this is already the second ti Evil On has acted in Xi Yuan City.”
“The first victim was also a Transcendent. It feels like his frequency of committing cris is getting higher.”
Mhm.
Fu Qian turned his head towards Captain Qiao.
“Captain Qiao, may I see the list of Transcendents?”
“The list of Transcendents?”
Fu Qian’s request made Captain Qiao blink.
“The list of all Transcendents within Xi Yuan City, I believe you definitely have it.”
“We do, but…”
Captain Qiao still wanted to struggle, but a glance from Su Gao made him instantly shut his mouth.
Huang Lezhan, Huang Jianyuan, Huang Zhaoliu…
Fu Qian leafed through the roster in front of him, his frown deepening.
“Why are they all surnad Huang?”
“You don’t know?”
Captain Qiao was equally surprised.
“The Huang Family is one of the top Transcendent families at present. Although Xi Yuan’s Huang Family is just a branch, their legacy has been around for over a hundred years; it’s normal for them to have so accumulations.
Moreover, Xi Yuan itself isn’t very large, so indeed the vast majority of Transcendents are from their family.”
So that’s how it is!
Such local powers could easily monopolize the cultivation resources, and through bloodline inheritance, it wasn’t surprising to see them dominating the roster.
Looking at it, more than half of Xi Yuan’s Transcendents were from the Huang Family. They had been in operation for a hundred years; such a family was probably an all-powerful presence locally.
Could it be this was why the Night Watchn had such a poor lineup here? So tacit understanding between the two sides?
But this wasn’t important. With such a family in existence, it was really — too good!
A Transcendent family that has been entrenched locally for a hundred years would definitely have very reliable information.
With the right motive, they would certainly work very efficiently.
“Have you had contact with them?”
Fu Qian asked, looking at Su Gao, who shook his head.
“I’ve only just arrived as well.”
“In that case…”
Fu Qian pondered for a mont.
“Make ti for a visit.”
Unaware of Fu Qian’s background, Captain Qiao frowned and offered a reminder.
“Although we don’t need to concern ourselves with these local forces, be careful when dealing with them. We can save a lot of effort if they are willing to cooperate.”
“Don’t worry,”
Fu Qian recalled his previous encounter with Ji Liushuang and others in the furnace.
“I have plenty of experience dealing with them.”
