"No, I don't understand. What do you mean?" Li Xuan looked at Feng Qiuyan in puzzlement.
Feng Qiuyan explained, "Because the two families have a good relationship, I often followed behind Sis Ling when I was young. I was like a little follower. Once, I followed Sis Ling to the nearby beach to play. Back then, there were very few break-out creatures, so it was just the two of us playing by the beach. "
After hesitating for a moment, Feng Qiuyan continued, "I vaguely remember that a break-out creature rushed out of the sea and pounced at us on the beach. It even had a special fishy smell. When I smelled it, my head became groggy as though I was about to faint. At that moment, in a daze, I saw Sis Ling transform into a terrifying form and charge at the break-out creature. Then, I fainted. "
"When I woke up, I saw Sis Ling beside me, but I didn't see the break-out creature. When I mentioned the break-out creature, Sis Ling wore a blank look. She asked me if I was too tired from playing and had a nightmare after falling asleep," Feng Qiuyan said with a strange expression. "But I don't think it was a dream. However, I didn't find any traces of dimensional creatures nearby, so I kept this matter to myself and didn't tell anyone."
"How old were you back then?" Li Xuan asked.
"Three or four years old," Feng Qiuyan said.
"What about Qin Ling?" Li Xuan asked again.
"Thirteen or fourteen," Feng Qiuyan answered after some thought.
"It's normal for a three or four-year-old child to let his imagination run wild. Perhaps you were really muddled from sleep. If Qin Ling was thirteen or fourteen years old, she probably wasn't at the Legendary stage back then, right? There's basically no possibility of using a Companion Beast … "Li Xuan analyzed.
"I know all of that," Feng Qiuyan said with a strange expression.
"If you can really confirm that you didn't see wrongly, there's something wrong with Qin Ling," Zhou Wen said.
Feng Qiuyan said, "I can't be sure if I was dreaming back then, so I want you to help me confirm if I was dreaming back then."
"How can we be sure? We can't drag Qin Ling over and beat her up and ask if she can transform into a demon, right? Even if we dare ask, she won't admit it, right? "Li Xuan said.
"I also know that this matter isn't easy, but I can only entrust it to you," said Feng Qiuyan.
"Alright, let's try our best. I can't guarantee that we can figure it out," Zhou Wen said after some thought.
Feng Qiuyan was overjoyed, but he said to Zhou Wen, "Coach, I hope this matter can be carried out in secret. No matter what the outcome is, don't let a fourth person know."
"I understand," Zhou Wen agreed.
"Old Zhou, how do you plan on investigating this matter?" Li Xuan asked Zhou Wen after Feng Qiuyan arranged for the two of them to stay.
"I don't know. Let's take a look first. Didn't Qiuyan say that he would arrange for us to make contact with Qin Ling? We'll think of a solution when the time comes, "Zhou Wen said.
"I got a Gu from the South District. If it can be attached to a person, it can affect their will. Do you want to give it a try?" Li Xuan said with narrowed eyes.
"It's better not. After all, we are guests. It won't be good if the Feng family discovers us," Zhou Wen said with a shake of his head.
"I'm going to find Hui Haifeng. Do you want to come with me?" Zhou Wen asked Li Xuan.
"I'm not familiar with him. There's no point in going. Go by yourself. I'll take a walk nearby," Li Xuan said.
After the two of them separated, Zhou Wen took Ya 'er to the Hui family. The Hui family was a large family in Sea Return, so he didn't need to ask around to quickly find them.
Before arriving, Zhou Wen called Hui Haifeng, who quickly came to the door to pick him up.
"I didn't expect you to come so quickly." Hui Haifeng smiled and gave Zhou Wen a hug.
Zhou Wen was a little unaccustomed to such enthusiasm. "The journey was rather smooth, but the situation in Sea Return looks really bad."
Hui Haifeng nodded. "It's indeed bad. This month isn't over yet, but there have already been two small-scale waves of marine dimensional creatures. Although there are basically no casualties, if this happens every month, it will make people very tired. It's very easy for problems to occur. Furthermore, the strongest marine dimensional creatures that come ashore are at the Epic stage. Who knows if there will be Mythical creatures coming ashore in the future? In short, Sea Return City is in a very troublesome situation. "
"Have you thought of migrating inland?" Zhou Wen asked.
"How can it be that easy to migrate? Ignoring the fact that we have a home and business in Sea Return, even if we can abandon these businesses, how can we find a city that's willing to share resources with us when we go to another city?" Hui Haifeng pulled Zhou Wen into the courtyard. "Let's not talk about this. Let me show you something good."
The Hui family was very big. In fact, this place couldn't be considered a normal home. It was more like a base.
When they arrived at a warehouse-like place, Hui Haifeng opened the door and pointed inside. "What do you think of this?"
Zhou Wen saw huge machinery in the warehouse. There were all kinds of gears and electronic instruments. On the left side of the warehouse, there were many devices that looked like treadmills. Many Companion Beasts were running on them.
"Can Companion Beasts be trained like this?" Zhou Wen looked at the Companion Beasts in surprise.
"What's there to train? This is a Companion Beast generator. It uses the power of a Companion Beast to drive the generator and then stores the electricity it produces. After all, when those Companion Beasts don't need to fight, there's nothing to do. This way, we can use their strength and also let them train, "Hui Haifeng said.
Zhou Wen had already heard that many places had Companion Beasts that could generate electricity, but this was the first time he had seen it.
"Is this considered an environmentally friendly energy source?" Zhou Wen said with a smile.
"I don't know if it's environmentally friendly, but Companion Beasts can automatically recover their stamina. They don't need to replenish their energy. It's indeed very convenient," Hui Haifeng said as he continued walking into the warehouse.
When they reached the innermost part of the warehouse, there was a room separated by glass. One could see many high-precision instruments inside, and many staff were busy inside.
After Hui Haifeng and Zhou Wen changed into special work clothes, they entered the glass room. Then, Hui Haifeng pointed at something in a culture tank and said, "Look at this. This is our main research direction."
Zhou Wen looked at the culture tank and saw a white blob inside. It looked like a piece of white fat, but it also looked a little like a fungus.
"What's this?" Zhou Wen asked in confusion.
