It was June 29th on Thursday in the tenth week of the semester.
At three o 'clock in the morning, something big happened on a night market street in Songhai city. According to eyewitnesses, a student in a school uniform had been walking down the street like a zombie. Halfway down the street, his body had immediately burst into flames, and he had started to spit fire wildly in all directions.
The roaring flames had engulfed the entire street, and the entire night market street had been burnt to a crisp. Even the zebra crossing on the ground had been directly roasted away. Thick smoke billowed all around, making it look like a scene out of a movie.
People from the Cultivation Fire Department had immediately set up a barrier to stop the fire from spreading, but by the time they had taken care of everything, it was already too late.
The fire had been too terrifying, and there was no way to save the night market street … Fortunately, at three o 'clock in the morning, almost all the merchants on the street had already closed up, and no one had been injured.
In the entire incident, a total of four people had suffered minor burns and gas poisoning at the same time.
It was reported that these four people had come out in the middle of the night to buy supper, and had been unjustly implicated …
So the moral of this story was that you should sleep well in the middle of the night; staying up late and eating supper was bad for your health.
As for how the incident would be handled, a lot of people could actually guess … the mayor of this district would definitely be removed from office, and the Songhai city government would have to bear the responsibility for the medical expenses of the other four people as well as the losses suffered by the nearby merchants.
In some sense, this incident was no less than a terrorist attack …
As the instigator of this terrorist attack, the student who had spat fire had died. According to the eyewitness accounts of the four people who had bought supper, the student had been knocked out by a black shadow when he had spewed fire, and had been taken away along with him.
Thus, this incident had become the new topic of discussion during the morning self-study period in class that morning.
Super Chen frowned and crossed his arms with a solemn expression. "I heard that this was the work of Shuigou Sect, the new dark force that has risen up recently. A lot of students who have been targeted by them have been forced to eat their products on their way home from school, and then lost contact with their families and schools. "
Someone suddenly thought of Fang Xing. "Student Fang Xing from Class Two seems to have taken a week off. Could it have something to do with Shuigou Sect?"
"Shuigou Sect only came out in the last two days, and Student Fang Xing's parents personally called the school to explain the situation. That shouldn't be the reason."
Little Peanut shook his head; he was very sure of this. "When I handed in my homework two days ago, I heard Class Two's teacher-in-charge, Meng Kaiming, and Teacher Pan talk about it in the office. There's no way it's wrong."
Wang Ling couldn't help laughing in his heart. Given Fang Xing's ability, if this group of people targeted him, they definitely wouldn't have a good time.
Fang Xing was now still recuperating on Immortal Toya's Chrysanthemum Island. Wang Ming had told him that he didn't have to pay special attention to that strange substance suppressing his strength; it would break down on its own in a few days, and Fang Xing would naturally wake up then.
To be honest, Wang Ling had been wary of Fang Xing when he had first met him. After all, he hadn't been clear about Fang Xing's background at the time, and hadn't bothered to find out.
After the Immortal Mansion incident this time, Wang Ling's biggest gain was that he had thoroughly understood Fang Xing's identity, which made him feel much more at ease.
While they were thinking, Dopey Guo suddenly changed the topic. "Did you guys see the video that went out this morning?"
"What? There's even a video? "
"Mm, it seems a reckless friend filmed it … a student in a school uniform turned into a man on fire, and then spewed fire everywhere," Dopey Guo answered truthfully.
"What kind of evil art does he cultivate? Is it possible that he's a criminal who deliberately disguised himself in a school uniform to cause a riot or something? "
"Probably not." Dopey Guo shook his head and said, "I've seen the video. When this student spewed fire, he was still roaring, and looked like he had gone mad. Also, my uncle told me that the instant the student spewed fire, the temperature was over ten thousand degrees … "
Wang Ling frowned. An ordinary fireball from an expert at the peak late Soul Formation stage was already over ten thousand degrees … but if this person was really just a student, then this kind of temperature was a little too exaggerated.
This reminded Wang Ling of Mo Immortal Castle's Mo Immortal Water incident. However, Wang Ling had bumped into Mo Immortal Castle's Mo Immortal Water incident while it was still in the experimental stage, and he had directly killed the whole plan in the cradle.
The Shuigou Sect this time was similar to the mutation potion that Mo Immortal Castle had produced back then. The only difference was that most of the mutation potions that Mo Immortal Castle had produced back then had been failures. And this time, Shuigou Sect had obviously come prepared.
For a Foundation Establishment student to be able to create destructive power comparable to that of a Soul Formation cultivator in a short period of time, whether it was elixirs or potions, they had definitely been planning it for a long time.
This was a conspiracy that had been plotted for a long time.
Of course, there were some things that Wang Ling didn't understand.
For example, the name of this new dark force … of all things, it had to be called Shuigou Sect. Every time he muttered this name in his heart, Wang Ling felt like his time and life were being stolen bit by bit.
…
…
It could be said that Shuigou Sect, a brand new dark cultivation force, was in the limelight. The Songhai city government had requested that all available police resources be mobilized to dismantle this dark force in the shortest possible time. But unfortunately, Shuigou Sect hadn't left behind any clues since the incident.
It was really too difficult for the police to investigate a case with no clues at all.
In the office of the General Administration of 100 Schools in Songhai city, Odd Zhuo scratched his head, feeling like his head was as big as four mountains. He still hadn't finished dealing with Immortal Mansion, and the interrogation of Master of Immortal Mansion Cheng Yu hadn't been completed. In the end, this Shuigou Sect had suddenly popped up …
Moreover, the most annoying thing was that this dark force just had to pick on the students.
Currently, twelve students from seven different high schools had gone missing in Songhai city. The fire this morning had been caused by a missing Grade One student from God Vision High School.
If he didn't handle this matter properly, no matter how good his relationship with Secretary Dakang was, the higher-ups would definitely vent their anger on him …
While he was frowning, his phone rang. Seeing that it was the deputy director's office, he immediately picked it up. "How is it? Is there any new development? "
"Reporting to the General Administration, based on the information we've gathered on the twelve missing students, we haven't found anything in common with them."
Odd Zhuo frowned. "Is this a random crime?"
The deputy director: "Not really … if I had to say, these students are pretty good-looking."
