A slender figure was curled up in the darkness, and blood kept flowing out of his body.
Only then did Xia Fan and Fu You see Sha Men's appearance clearly. This psychopathic guy had a pair of hollow eyes and a cold face.
Sha Men stuck out his tongue and licked the blood at the corner of his mouth.
Even though he was beaten black and blue by Xia Fan, Sha Men's face was still expressionless. There was no emotion in his heart, so he would not show it on his face.
Fu You grabbed Sha Men's neck and lifted him up from the ground, as if he was observing a dying snake. Then, he slammed Sha Men on the ground with a loud bang.
"Kill him," Fu You said.
Xia Fan shook his head. It was not the time yet. Although the murderer had been caught, the truth had not been fully revealed. Xia Fan had a tendency to get to the bottom of things.
Xia Fan squatted down and looked at Sha Men.
"Did you kill the old emperor?" Xia Fan asked.
Sha Men nodded expressionlessly.
"Did the old director order you to do so?"
"It's his son."
"What's the price? How much money did they give you? "
"No money, and I don't need money. They promised me two hundred slaves."
Sha Men did not think that he had done anything evil, so he answered calmly, as if it was natural for him to kill and take the victim's head.
The so-called antisocial personality was probably like this.
In Sha Men's eyes, humans were not humans, but animals that walked on two legs. He did not understand his own emotions, nor did he care about the emotions of others.
Xia Fan and Fu You were shocked. The chubby, kind-looking old director had ordered his son to exchange two hundred slaves for the help of a cruel psychopath.
They could imagine what kind of fate the two hundred slaves would meet. They would be killed, turned into headless corpses, and thrown into a pit full of maggots.
Xia Fan felt a chill in his heart.
The real world was cruel. He had grown up under the dome. Although he had always heard the scourges say that Cang Yue was very cruel and had all kinds of inhumane acts, this was the first time he had seen an existence that had completely lost all humanity.
Whether it was Chen Changsheng or Qin Yuwei, although they had also killed people, they still had humanity in their hearts. Xia Fan could feel the trauma they had suffered and understood why they wanted to take revenge on society.
Sand Gate, on the other hand, had no reason, nor did he need a reason. He only killed because he wanted to. He was no different from a worm that devoured rotten flesh in the dark underground.
Xia Fan didn't want to see such a heartless man again, but his rationality told him to keep asking.
"Why can you control so many metal residues? As far as I know, it's impossible to remotely control a superpower on such a large scale, "Xia Fan said.
Sandgate paused and silently took out a dirty metal bottle from his pocket. It looked like a wine flask, but it was smaller.
In an instant, Xia Fan was shocked. The bottle was engraved with a pair of wings. It was the symbol of his family, the Heavenly Wings!
There was the same mark on the blanket that had been wrapped around him since he was young!
Xia Fan snatched the metal bottle and touched its surface with his finger. The flying wing symbol was so real that Xia Fan felt like he was getting closer to his family.
"What is this?" Xia Fan's voice changed as he asked loudly.
Sandgate shook his head. "I'm not sure, but after eating it, I can temporarily improve my control."
"It's a pity that once the effect wears off, you'll be paralyzed like you are now."
Xia Fan understood now. This was a medicine that could temporarily improve one's mental strength. This kind of medicine usually overdrafted one's body to forcibly increase one's combat power in a short period of time.
Everything had a price. The price of overdrafting one's mental strength was to become muddle-headed and listless for a long time after the battle.
So that was it.
In fact, Sha Men did not have the strength to fight against Xia Fan and Fo You. It was the medicine that helped him. It not only gave him amazing control, but also increased his lethality. Fo You, who did not activate the Thousand Buddha Golden Light, was injured by Sha Men's attacks.
"Where did this thing come from?" Xia Fan asked in a hoarse voice.
Sandgate's eyes suddenly lit up in the dark. He seemed to have remembered something and looked at Xia Fan with a strange look.
"Scorching Starfield."
"Where is the Scorching Starfield?"
Sandgate shook his head. "People like me are like worms wriggling in the dark. I'm born in the dark, I live in the dark, and I die in the dark."
"You are an investigator of the Secret Service. You would never go to a place like that."
Hurried footsteps came from outside. Xia Fan knew that others were coming, and he didn't have much time left. He couldn't let others know that he was from the Heavenly Wings Clan. In the Cangyue Universe, almost everyone hated the Heavenly Wings Clan.
"Tell me, where did this thing come from?" Xia Fan grabbed him by the collar in a panic.
Sandgate's lips moved slightly and he said a few words, but his voice was so soft that Xia Fan couldn't hear him clearly.
He quickly put his ear closer and asked Sandgate to say it again.
However, at that moment, Sandgate's eyes suddenly burst with a blood-red light. He opened his mouth and bit down on Xia Fan's face!
This vicious guy, even at death's door, he was still scheming to hurt others!
* Bang! *
Unfortunately, Sandgate didn't succeed. Xia Fan was not only fast, but his reflexes were even faster. In an instant, he was pushed away.
Then, Fo You, who was already furious, rushed up and punched Sandgate in the head!
* Boom! *
The fist, shining with golden light, smashed Sandgate's head like smashing a watermelon. Blood and brain matter splattered everywhere!
Finally, the demon who killed and took other people's heads became a headless corpse himself.
Xia Fan shook his head and stood up, holding the metal bottle with the Heavenly Wings symbol in his hand.
Fo You snorted and said, "Why are you wasting time talking to this kind of person? You should have killed him long ago! "
Xia Fan didn't say anything. He couldn't explain to Fo You how important the Heavenly Wings was to him.
Fo You had a family. Everyone had a family, but Xia Fan didn't.
Once, the scourges under the dome were his family, but they were all dead.
It was said that as long as the Heavenly Wings Token was found, Xia Fan's family would appear. This was where his hope lay.
However, 40,000 years had passed, and Xia Fan had no idea where the Heavenly Wings Token was. Xia Fan couldn't give up any clues about the Heavenly Wings Token.
"How is it?"
"Has the murderer been caught?"
"Are you guys okay?"
His colleagues and people from the Sacred Alliance's Special Task Force rushed over and asked with concern.
Then, Fo You told his story.
After listening, everyone was amazed. The remote controller who killed the old emperor turned out to be such a crazy monster. The headless corpse in the mine made everyone shudder.
"Let's see if there are any other victims. I don't want to stay in this damn place for a second longer," Fo You said to his colleagues impatiently.
Therefore, everyone let Xia Fan and Fo You take a rest while they entered the depths of the mine to look for clues and living victims.
Xia Fan and Fo You did not stay in the dark and left along the mine tunnel.
"What's wrong with you today?" Fo You asked, "You're not usually such an impulsive person. Half of your face was almost bitten off by that guy. Where's your vigilance?"
Xia Fan shook his head. "This case is too tragic. I'm a little touched."
Fo You thought so too. He clenched his fists with hatred. "The outer area is really a lawless place! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it! I guess there must be a lot of monsters like Sandmen in the outer area, not to mention those fugitives from the three alliances. "
"I think the outer area is too simple. The Luan Ying Empire is so close to the inner area, and such a tragic case happened here. As for places further away, it's really unimaginable."
Xia Fan shrugged. "I want to rest for a while and walk around the outer area."
Fo You's eyes widened. "Don't tell me you really want to go to the Scorching Star Region that the dead guy mentioned? I remember that place is the largest black market around here. There are all kinds of people there. "
Xia Fan said, "There are also many good things that we haven't seen before. Take this bottle of pills for example. After Sandman took it, he could actually stab you. I'm afraid his personal combat power has increased by at least ten times."
"That's true." Fo You nodded and said, "I've never suffered such a big loss in my life. The outer area is not only dangerous, but also a very magical place."
"When do you plan to go?"
"As soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Xia Fan was slightly stunned and looked at Fo You. "Are you alright?"
.....
Not only was there nothing wrong with Fo You, but he was also more normal than usual.
When Xia Fan asked him why he wanted to go to the Scorching Star Region with him, Fo You clearly explained several reasons.
It was not that Little Buddha really didn't care about anything, but because of his background, he had seen everything since he was a child. Therefore, most things could not arouse his interest.
Fo You didn't care about money, reputation, or women. He didn't care about anything that others liked or cared about.
However, Fo You was very interested in going to the outer area. The Scorching Star Region was one of the large black markets in the outer area. Fo You was very interested in the mysterious black market transactions.
Since he couldn't convince him, Xia Fan decided to go with Fo You. It was not a bad thing to have someone to look after along the way.
It didn't take long before Randy and the others brought out the group of men, women, and children who were imprisoned.
After surviving the disaster, these people knelt in front of the investigators from the Special Task Force. Their faces were pale and bloodless. It was not difficult to see from their eyes that the most painful torture was not the physical, but the mental. Listening to the sounds of torture and murder every day had brought great psychological trauma to them.
Unfortunately, the Special Task Force was a law enforcement agency, not a charity. Xia Fan couldn't do much for these poor people from the outer area, so he agreed to bring them back to the Eagle Empire and give each of them some money to settle down so that they could start their lives anew.
The fleet quickly returned to Eagle City and was warmly received by Hai Dongying. He promised to take care of the people who had survived the disaster. When these people heard about it, they couldn't help but worship His Majesty the Emperor.
At the banquet, Hai Dongying personally promised to give the exclusive mining rights of the Eagle Empire to the Nebula Alliance. Dylan sent the good news back, and the Alliance's Ministry of Commerce immediately decided to send a business delegation to sign a contract with the Eagle Empire.
The Special Task Force sent an order for the investigation team to rest where they were. When the business delegation arrived at the Eagle Empire, they were to protect their safety. When the contract was signed, they would escort the delegation back to the territory.
This arrangement was to Xia Fan's liking. He told Dylan to stay behind and then drove Scourge out of Eagle City, heading to the Scorching Star Region.
When Hai Dongying learned that Xia Fan wanted to take a stroll in the outer area, he sent someone with a generous gift, a thousand level-3 energy crystals.
These crystals could be used as the common currency in the outer area. Other than that, gold could also be used, but the value of gold was much lower than energy crystals. One level-3 energy crystal could be exchanged for about ten kilograms of gold.
Xia Fan looked at the box of glowing translucent stones and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
After all, Hai Dongying was just a small tyrant in the outer area, and he treated these level-3 energy crystals like treasures.
