Chapter 33: Five Kills in the Abandoned Factory
Chapter 33: Pentakill in the Abandoned Factory
Back in their apartment, the two of them immersed themselves in their cultivation, oblivious to everything else around them.
Soon, the day of the main campus assessment arrived.
All the students were in a large auditorium. Dean Xiao stood on a high platform, looking down at the dense crowd below, and said loudly:
"I am very pleased because I have seen the growth of many people from the Beast Fighting Tournament to today."
"Not long ago, someone compared the main campus assessment to a demon looming over the entire Qing campus, watching over you, spurring you on, and making you constantly train hard for it..."
"This analogy is accurate. Whether you've heard about it, witnessed it firsthand, or obtained information about the main campus from some other source, I can tell you it's not a rumor; it's even more brutal than that!"
Dean Xiao stood on the high platform, his usual amiable demeanor gone; today he was extremely serious.
"Old Lu, let's team up this time," Mo Fan whispered to Lu Jie.
"Okay." Lu Jie nodded.
"Anyone whose cultivation level has not reached the intermediate stage is not qualified to participate in the main campus assessment. In addition, the content of this assessment is different; you need to capture a Shadow Beast that has escaped from the military!"
Dean Xiao's words infuriated the students who had not reached the intermediate level of cultivation, but they had no choice but to withdraw.
Today, he is no longer the teacher who paints a bright future for everyone; now he is like the devil in that metaphor, mercilessly driving out the weak.
Many couples have even broken up because of this, simply because the other person is not good enough for them.
Gradually, many students whose cultivation level had not reached the intermediate stage left, including some senior students from the previous year.
Before long, only a little over a thousand people remained in the auditorium. They looked at Dean Xiao on the high platform, somewhat at a loss.
"Dean Xiao, isn't there even a single clue?" some of the students at the front asked.
Dean Xiao shook his head and said, "You'll have to find that yourselves."
……
Dean Xiao walked away, and the remaining people were in groups of three or five, basically all of them were confirming their team formation. Team formation was allowed for this main campus assessment, but there could only be a maximum of five people.
Meanwhile, Lu Jie and Mo Fan returned to the apartment, and Ai Tutu couldn't wait to come over.
"My god, Mo Fan, how about we team up?" Ai Tutu said excitedly, her magnificent breasts swaying in front of them.
"There's no need." Lu Jie shook his head and went upstairs to his room.
Mo Fan, too, had no intention of joining them: "You guys go find someone else."
Without explanation or reason, they were simply rejected.
Mo Fan was certain that many strange and unsavory characters would emerge during this main campus assessment, after all, he possessed a powerful treasure!
After returning to his room, Mo Fan dialed Zhang Xiaohou's number to ask him about the Shadow Beast.
Lu Jie, on the other hand, was quietly meditating.
That evening, the two set off together, first heading to the police station.
According to information provided by Zhang Xiaohou, the Shadow Beast has a particular fondness for beef, so the beef processing plants in Shanghai must have been visited by the Shadow Beast.
However, there wasn't much information about the theft and spoilage of the meat, but they did find some clues.
Immediately, they went to Wan Street in Pudong New Area, which is close to the port, to look for clues.
Fortunately, the two were high-level hunters. As long as they said they were investigating cases related to demons, the staff were very cooperative and told them everything they knew.
After searching for a long time, they found absolutely nothing.
When they came out of there, they received a call from the female clerk at the police station, saying that beef had been stolen from a beef processing plant in Xujiang'an and that they should go there to investigate immediately.
"Old Lu, something's not right here!" Mo Fan frowned as he looked at the phone that had been hung up and said to Lu Jie.
"Yes, let's lure them into the trap." Lu Jie nodded.
The two then rushed to a beef processing plant near Xujiang'an.
Meanwhile, Xu Zhaoting was following five men dressed in gray robes when they entered an abandoned factory, after which he lost track of them.
Because his tracking skills were so poor, he was caught red-handed, and a fight ensued...
"Damn it, how dare you ruin our plans!" A gray-robed man stepped on Xu Zhaoting's blood-covered face, his expression furious.
"The priest ordered us to take this person away and evacuate immediately to avoid being exposed!" Gray Four hurriedly said.
"I'll take this kid away, quickly kill this woman, and then clean up the scene, leaving no trace!" Gray rubbed his foot hard against Xu Zhaoting's face. If it weren't for this bastard ruining things, they wouldn't have needed to move.
Gray One used the Black Beast Demon to drag Xu Zhaoting away, while the remaining four gray-robed men stared at Zhang Lulu with lewd expressions.
"It's a pity that such a beautiful young woman died. Why don't we have some fun with her? Maybe we can make your death less painful."
"Exactly, let you experience the joys of being a woman before you die, and we'll do you a favor, hehehe!"
"I'm done talking, my little brother can't take it anymore!"
Just as Gray Five pounced, a wooden splinter that emerged from the ground pierced him, and the black beast demons under his command turned into a pool of strange and foul-smelling black liquid.
"Who is it?!"
The remaining three were terrified. Who had killed Grey Five?
Zhang Lulu, who had closed her eyes, opened them and stared wide-eyed at Gray Five, who was dead in front of her.
Immediately afterwards, a flash of cold light appeared, and three enormous human heads rolled to the ground, along with the black beast demons, all of whom died one after another.
Before Zhang Lulu could see what was going on, she saw Xu Zhaoting sitting against the stone pillar in front of her, his face covered in blood.
Without thinking twice, she scrambled over, carried him on her back, and walked step by step toward the nearest medical room.
On the steel pillars and beams, Lu Jie, the wooden clone, stood watching them leave, and then his figure disappeared.
Lu Jie breathed a sigh of relief after receiving feedback from the wooden clone.
Xu Zhaoting, that guy, knowingly walks into danger, doesn't he know to ask for help?
Thank goodness I sent out my wood clone beforehand, otherwise...
Meanwhile, the two, having found nothing from their search, had no choice but to return home and temporarily go back to their apartment.
Silent all night.
"How's your investigation into the Shadow Beasts going?" Mo Fan asked while eating breakfast.
"If I don't tell you, you won't be able to steal our fruits. To tell you the truth, that Shadow Beast can't escape our grasp!" Ai Tutu said, patting his chest.
Family members, please finish reading this! Don't let it sit unread! I'm begging you, author! QAQ
