Chapter 40: Chapter 40: The Second Person from the Organization Appears!
By this time, the main force of Baijiang Investigation Bureau had already gone to the cemetery in Nanjiao to deal with the Mysterious Evil. There weren’t many investigators left behind, and with such an incident occurring, Jiang Tingqiu’s cold sweat ran down profusely.
This underpass bridge was almost deserted, but the nearby Raojiang Bridge had a heavy flow of traffic!
A disaster was about to happen!
“Quick, contact Director Zhou and the others!”
Jiang Tingqiu shouted at the person assisting him, but the next moment his eyes widened in shock.
What he saw was simply unbelievable—it was like seeing a ghost!
At the underpass, in the dark, garbage-filled filth, a gray fog began spreading thinly, revealing shapes that seemed to be tearing through from the underpass to the outside. The special dust on the ground exploded into the air, streaming forth strands of green smoke that sketched out three extremely vague and transparent outlines.
The Mysterious Evil, were they fighting each other?
Jiang Tingqiu was stunned.
…
At this moment,
a few dozen meters away from the underpass on the riverside road, An Jianyou parked his car on the side of the road in a marked parking spot, then walked to the riverside, gazing at the distant underpass.
To the average person, the underpass was just an ordinary grimy corner, but in An Jianyou’s eyes…

Gray mist pervaded, and figures that looked like walking corpses staggered along the road, with another figure wandering inside the underpass.
Its clothes were tattered, its hair unkempt, like a vagabond… if it didn’t have six heads and a neck half a meter long.
An Jianyou had already released Big Brother Mysterious Evil and Little Knife Mysterious Evil from the “Talisman”, and the two Mysterious Evils ran towards the underpass. As they approached, An Jianyou surprisingly found that the six-headed Mysterious Evil was still wandering around in confusion, not becoming extremely terrifying and pouncing directly at them.
It was different from the Mysterious Evil she had ‘summoned’ to the real world to gang up on before… maybe she had drawn aggro at the time of summoning.
This Mysterious Evil didn’t, despite having six heads, seem too smart?
An Jianyou immediately had an idea, stealthily controlling Little Knife Mysterious Evil to approach and unexpectedly, with a lack of martial virtue, slashed with a knife.
A single slice, one head along with its neck was chopped off, but this six-headed… well, now five-headed Mysterious Evil was provoked. Its neck suddenly stretched even longer, its mouth wide open to the ears as it bit at Little Knife Mysterious Evil.
It was incredibly fast!
In the blink of an eye, Little Knife Mysterious Evil lost a hand, the difference in strength was significant!
Fortunately, Little Knife Mysterious Evil wasn’t alone; it had a companion. An Jianyou immediately controlled Big Brother Mysterious Evil to dishonorably launch a surprise attack.
A shoulder throw and a strong lock subdued the Mysterious Evil with a thud, not very tight, but Little Knife Mysterious Evil plunged its remaining knife repeatedly with vigour.
A white blade in, a black blade out.
Under the righteous beating of the two Mysterious Evils, the six-headed Mysterious Evil quickly became tattered, like a worn-out sack, its movements increasingly sluggish and weak until it was completely torn apart by Big Brother Mysterious Evil.
The intensity of the battle made An Jianyou sweat profusely, gripped by tension. Only when the target Mysterious Evil dissipated did she finally take a deep breath. But seeing the battered Big Brother Mysterious Evil and Little Knife Mysterious Evil, An Jianyou still felt apprehensive.
Indeed, Mysterious Evils were extremely terrifying!
She had to collect stronger Mysterious Evils so as not to disappoint her mentor’s expectations.
She lingered for a moment, waiting for the two Mysterious Evils to return before collecting them into the Talisman. Glancing nervously around and seeing that no one was paying attention to her, An Jianyou hurriedly left.
…
Rolling back time a little,
a distance of approximately dozens of meters from the riverside, Jiang Tingqiu’s eyes were wide open, staring intensely at the area emitting green smoke in the distance.
As the two Mysterious Evils collided with each other, their contours burst open, intermittently visible.
He was absolutely certain there were three gray shadows! He wasn’t mistaken!
These three gray shadows intertwined with each other, their figures extremely blurry. If one did not stare intently, it was even difficult to notice them. Jiang Tingqiu couldn’t discern precisely what was happening, but he imagined it himself.
These three Mysterious Evils were fighting, slaughtering each other. Perhaps they were already kicking up dust in rings upon rings, only invisible to his eyes.
Why couldn’t he see them!
Jiang Tingqiu still stared intently. Before long, one of the faint gray shadows dimmed and dissolved, and the remaining two…
Because they didn’t come into contact with each other, they also quickly faded, disappearing from his sight. However, around the bridge tunnel, Jiang Tingqiu had previously sprinkled some special powder. At this moment, he saw those two Mysterious Evils leaving as swiftly as they had come.
The direction they were heading was…
Jiang Tingqiu suddenly looked over. Far off by the riverbank, a figure with a hood pulled up turned and walked away, appearing to be a girl?
A girl controlling Mysterious Evils?
He actually had no evidence, purely intuition. But the appearance and disappearance of these two Mysterious Evils were so abrupt, completely contradicting the normal behavior of Mysterious Evils. If they were controlled, directed, then this made sense.
To use Mysterious Evils against Mysterious Evils?
Were there really such miraculous methods?
“If it’s the organization of Brother Black Blade, then it’s not impossible, especially here in Baijiang City. The goal is also very clear, aimed precisely at this newly spawned Mysterious Evil.”
Fast and accurate!
And the person, mysterious!
“I might have discovered the second combat member of that organization.”
“But, completely different combat tactics, what exactly is this kind of organization?!”
…
At this moment, in the cemetery area of Nanjiao in Baijiang City,
Many people from the Investigation Bureau had already sealed off the area. Led by Bai Xue, the investigators had finally, after much hard work, exorcised the four Mysterious Evils that roamed within this cemetery.
One of the Mysterious Evils was so terrifying that it was comparable to the one at the construction site. Even with Bai Xue, a special-class investigator wielding new weapons, the whole exorcism process was perilous.
But the result was satisfactory: only one investigator got injured and would recover after a period of rest.
This operation in the cemetery was supposed to draw to a successful close, but then…
Director Zhou’s face was extremely grim as he stared at a spot not far away where a thin gray mist seemed to hover, even in broad daylight.
Very light and thin, almost like an illusion, unaffected by the wind or anything else.
Director Zhou had even brought in an old hen and thrown it into that mist, but still, nothing happened.
The old hen was also alive.
His complexion was not good, “Can this gray mist be dispelled?” he asked Bai Xue. At this moment, he could only pin his hopes on Bai Xue’s life energy.
After resting for a while, allowing her life energy to recover somewhat, Bai Xue took up her gun and approached.
The gun flashed like cold light!
Pop—
A spark of life energy bloomed at the tip of the gun and pierced into the gray mist. However, nothing happened still. The mist was like a texture, present yet untouchable, and impossible to remove.
“What exactly is this thing?” she asked.
Director Zhou’s face was even grimmer, almost spelling out despair. He swallowed and then said, “A mist that cannot be destroyed or touched, this thing is very likely…”
“Gate of Hell!”
