Once he said those words, the crowd burst into an uproar.
Xie Xiaolei was delighted, but he instantly held it in and whispered, "I knew it!"
The representative from Heavenly Works Machines was dumbfounded. "That's impossible!"
The others stared at Meng Chao with great interest.
They did not expect that a wound that the seniors who had been in the field for decades would not notice would be exposed by a university student who had just joined the field.
Even Ning Shewo did not expect that Meng Chao would be able to notice such a secret. He could only sigh in amazement once more. 'This is the Old Fire Relayer's personal disciple. I have no choice but to respect him.'
Before the virus test results were out, the dissection had already come to an end.
Since they had discovered such clear signs of human activity, it was impossible for them to treat it as an accident or an accident. Instead, it involved a vicious crime, and they had to hand it over to the police or even the adjudicator court of the Supernatural Tower to handle it.
The adjudicator court had a long history. It had already existed before the Supernatural Tower and the Survival Committee were built.
In the beginning, it was just an arbitration organization between different superhuman organizations. At that time, when social order collapsed and Dragon City turned into a bloody forest, the people who had just awakened to supernatural abilities believed in the law of the jungle and the rule that the strong preyed on the weak, and the losers were always in the wrong, so they persisted in the dark flames of civilization.
As different superhuman organizations relied on violence to fight for benefits, but they ended up severely injured or even killed each other, the newly born superhumans gradually came to understand the importance of order.
In the end, Battle God Lei Zongchao suggested that the seven largest superhuman organizations at that time work together to create the adjudicator court. They were given a certain amount of power to enforce the law and arbitrate to solve the disputes between superhumans.
As order was restored and the Survival Committee was formed, the authority and strength of the adjudicator court kept increasing. Now, it was the official organization of violence that specialized in investigating and judging superhuman crimes.
There were two unique characteristics when superhumans committed crimes.
First, superhumans usually had a myriad of unique abilities. Their criminal methods were very strange, and it was very difficult for normal criminal investigation methods to find them.
Second, superhumans were incredibly destructive. If they were driven to desperation, even one-star superhumans could easily turn into moving human bombs and cause severe collateral damage to innocent citizens.
Similar tragedies had occurred in the past.
Normal police forces were in charge of investigating superhuman crimes, and they managed to locate the culprit. But during the process of capturing the culprit, they made a mistake, and the culprit fled to the downtown area. He activated his vitality magnetic field to the max and released dozens of killing moves without hesitation. His spirit energy deviated, and his body exploded. At the same time, he dragged hundreds of innocent citizens to the grave with him. He even destroyed houses and other major economic losses. He also created a huge barrier between superhumans and normal people.
After learning this lesson, all the suspected crimes committed by superhumans were handed over to the adjudicator court.
The Adjudicator Court had two major organizations under its jurisdiction, the Secret Police and the Adjudicators.
The secret police were the police who specialized in investigating Transcendents.
During the investigation process, they usually wouldn't wear uniforms or even reveal their identities. However, they would enjoy all kinds of privileges and could act at their own discretion. They could even act first and report later.
This was also in consideration of the unique characteristics of superhuman criminals. If they noticed that the police were investigating them, they would be driven to desperation and run to a densely populated downtown area to commit crimes. They would drag hundreds of innocent citizens down with them, and the losses would outweigh the gains.
Once the secret police investigated the crimes, the Adjudicators would be the ones to capture or suppress them.
The Adjudicators were heavily armed secret police trained in secret by the Supernatural Tower. They were skilled in capturing and suppressing people in all sorts of complicated environments in downtown areas. They were equipped with all sorts of spirit energy equipment that could kill in one hit. Usually, before the superhuman criminals could react to the situation, they would descend from the sky like lightning and even explode their heads.
Similarly, the identities of the Adjudicators were highly confidential. Aside from the need for official promotions, very few people knew just who the secret police were and who the Adjudicators were.
Perhaps the seemingly harmless support-class superhumans who taught and educated people in schools would immediately turn into adjudicators who were feared by normal superhumans when they received secret orders. They would wear runic symbol heavy armor and nano fighting suits, hold top-tier equipment, and wear airtight helmets. They would become adjudicators who struck fear into the hearts of normal superhumans.
The secret police and adjudicators were sharp blades that hung above the superhumans' heads.
They constantly warned the superhumans that even if they awakened to supernatural abilities, they were still mortals in the mortal world. They were bound by order and law, and they could not commit crimes or cross the line.
Even though there were no signs of superhumans committing crimes on the surface when the biochemical pets went out of control, it was still related to the conflict between Spirit Creation Creatures and Heavenly Works Machines.
It was practically impossible for a normal person to sneak into Blessed Paradise and inject a virus into the biochemical pets' ear canals without anyone noticing.
Hence, there was a high chance that the case would skip the police and be handed over to the adjudicator court to handle.
Regardless of the results of the investigation, at the very least, the possibility of Spirit Creation Creatures going out of control because of the modification accident had been reduced to the minimum.
On their way out of the monster research center, Xie Xiaolei was finally unable to hold back his emotions. He thanked Ning Shewo and Meng Chao profusely.
It was especially so for Meng Chao. He had actually managed to guess that there was a needle hole in the biochemical pets' ear canals and cleared Spirit Creation Creatures of their wrongdoings, which made Xie Xiaolei view this junior in a new light.
"As expected of the strongest freshman in Agricultural University's martial arts course. You can compare to Zong Ye, who was a supernova in the past. You're indeed not a simple person to be able to shine so brilliantly in the northern frontlines."
Xie Xiaolei smiled. "Looks like I'll have to look for a chance to get closer to you."
The trio told Gao Ye about the news in the car while they were in the lab.
Gao Ye was not as happy as Xie Xiaolei. He only snorted coldly and said, "I told you a long time ago that the biochemical pets I modified will definitely not go out of control. This guy asked for his own death, so he can't blame anyone else for it."
He said that he still had to carry out the modification experiment of a brand new biochemical beast and quickly hung up.
Xie Xiaolei and Ning Shewo were used to his style, so they were not bothered by it.
Xie Xiaolei invited Ning Shewo and Meng Chao to a banquet in the most luxurious hotel in Dragon City to express his gratitude.
Even if Meng Chao had broadened his horizons over this period of time, he was still shocked by the splendor of the luxurious hotel, which was as luxurious as a palace. When he remembered the division between the strong and the weak as well as the great disparity between the rich and the poor, he could not help but be a little absent-minded.
Fortunately, Xie Xiaolei was a witty person and had a smooth way of talking to people. Soon, he managed to pull his attention back.
When he learned that Meng Chao was the boss behind Superstar Resource Recovery Company, which had recently risen to power, Xie Xiaolei's eyes lit up. He said that Spirit Creation Creatures used a lot of monster materials to carry out experiments and create medicine every year.
It was especially so after the great victory in the northern frontlines and the construction of the new development zones, they needed a large number of new working beasts.
They wanted to modify the monsters that lived in Shattered Starlake, Graveyard Forest, and Raging Waves into biochemical beasts that had a certain degree of intelligence and were obedient to humans.
They seemed to have quite a lot of chances to work with Superstar in this regard.
Ever since Superstar acquired Prosperous, it had gained the initial ability to harvest Nightmarish Beasts. What it lacked was an order from a benchmark company like Spirit Creation Creatures.
After they talked in detail, the host and guests were happy, and both parties left satisfied.
"How was it? You gained a lot today, didn't you?"
On their way back to the university, Ning Shewo smiled and said to Meng Chao, "If you want to become an ace harvester, skills are definitely one of the important factors, but connections are also very important. Otherwise, how could others be at ease to let you harvest valuable Hell Beasts and even Apocalyptic Beasts?
"Among the many companies set up by the alumni of Agricultural University, Spirit Creation Creatures is one of the outstanding ones. It might not be big right now, but with Xie Xiaolei fighting on the frontlines outside and Gao Ye working hard on research in the lab, their overall strength has increased really quickly. Once they get the big order for Subway No.20, they will go out of control, and they will definitely become giants in the industry.
"You should use this chance to form a good relationship with Spirit Creation Creatures. It will be very beneficial for you and Superstar's development in the future."
Meng Chao would naturally remember the words of the old senior's experience.
He also knew that Ning Shewo did not need any helpers for what happened today. Ning Shewo just thought highly of Meng Chao and helped him pave the way for him in the field.
Meng Chao thanked Ning Shewo and asked him how the matter would end in the end.
Ning Shewo said that since the case had been handed over to the Supernatural Tower and adjudicator court, the secret police and adjudicators would definitely investigate it clearly, so they did not need to worry about it. They just needed to keep their mouths shut and keep the secret so that they would not alert the enemy.
Meng Chao nodded and agreed to it.
When he returned to the university and lay down in the Ultimate Style's cultivation cabin, he entered deep meditation. But there were still a few distracting thoughts floating in the depths of his mind, and he felt that there were a lot of suspicious points.
Why did two of the biochemical pets have signs of being injected with drugs in their ear canals, but not the other one?
If the people from Heavenly Works Machines had intentionally injected the virus into the biochemical pets they modified to frame Spirit Creations Creatures for going out of control, why would the virus affect the middle management of their side? Wasn't this a clear sign that they were trying to draw attention to themselves?
Also, Gao Ye mentioned that the Giant Sandworms had gone out of control in the trash treatment center half a month ago. Was it an isolated incident, or was it part of the entire case?
With all these questions in mind, Meng Chao fell asleep.
He had a very strange nightmare.
In the depths of the nightmare, he felt like he was lost in the underground, which was as complicated as a maze.
However, a gargantuan beast attacked from underground. It opened its bloody mouth that was full of ring-shaped tusks and swallowed the rocks, crushed the foundation, and even swallowed the subway and the passengers in the entire train. Not only did it turn the underground world into a living hell, it even raised a terrifying earthquake and caused the collapse of quite a few skyscrapers.
It was … an incredibly monstrous Giant Sandworm.
Meng Chao woke up while drenched in cold sweat.
He stared at the shining Kindling at the corner of his eyes and found himself unable to say anything even after a long time had passed.
