The helicopter's propeller made a loud noise in the night sky. Spotlights descended from the sky and shone on the Magicians who claimed to be from the Golden Battle Hunters.
Outside the ranch, there was also a burst of noise. One could see a dazzling milky white light flashing, forming a huge wall of light. It was slowly enveloping the three connected ranches.
Mofan could see a huge white barrier in the middle of the ranch. It was like a cage, blocking the night sky above them.
The people raised their heads and stared at the white barrier in disbelief …
More and more helicopters were above the barrier, and further away, many more figures had appeared. They were all standing inside and outside the barrier, and one could be seen almost every distance.
The ranches and the manor covered a huge area. It was difficult to estimate how much energy and money it would take to construct a barrier that could envelop the entire place. Mofan, Mu Ningxue, and Ling Ling were dumbfounded when they saw the barrier!
What's going on???
Was the Enforcement Union on the move?
Apart from the Enforcement Union, who else would be so generous to seal off the ranches and the manor with a barrier like that?
"There are a lot of Magicians out there, almost a thousand of them!" Ling Ling looked at the laptop in her hand.
On the screen was an electronic map of the ranches and the manor. There were many green dots on the boundary of the manor, too many to count.
More than a thousand Magicians, it was almost the size of an army!
Mofan had no idea what was going on. How did almost a thousand Magicians appear all of a sudden?
"Master Mintian," Ling Ling said softly.
"Isn't he a lecturer?" Mu Ningxue asked in confusion.
"He used Master Mintian's identity to gather a few thousand listeners from different places under the pretext of giving a lecture. As a matter of fact, many Magicians were among the listeners just to surround the ranches and the manor. The Black Vatican did not expect them to be surrounded so easily," Ling Ling said.
More than a thousand Magicians did not show up out of nowhere. The listeners pretended to leave after the lecture, but they were actually setting up a barrier around the three ranches and the manor, not giving the Black Vatican any chance to escape.
"If it's such a huge operation, why would they send us here?" Mofan asked.
It was a huge operation, and the party involved was determined to eliminate the Black Vatican hiding in the manor. Wasn't Leng Qing's reminder and worry unnecessary?
"It's not the Enforcement Union, it's the Golden Battle Hunters. They're one of the best Hunter Groups in the country. Many experts among them have accepted the bounty from the Enforcement Union, and have captured many members of the Black Vatican. Their information is so detailed that even the Enforcement Union can't compare to them. I'm afraid someone from the Hunter Groups has found their way here, and decided to take action on their own without informing the Enforcement Union, "Ling Ling said.
She was quite familiar with the Hunter Union. The Golden Battle Hunters had a huge number of members. If they were to gather all of their members, they would not be any weaker than an army.
"If that's the case, there's nothing else for us to do," Mu Ningxue said.
Ling Ling shook her head. Her face was filled with uneasiness.
Mofan had a feeling that the situation was not as simple as it seemed. The Golden Battle Hunters that had interfered seemed to be huge in scale, with quick movements and meticulous planning. However, they did not consider the fact that apart from them, there were around a thousand tourists and five hundred servants in the manor. The Carly they had captured was obviously just a Gray Priest, while Leng Qing had told them that there was a Blue Deacon among them …
With such a huge operation, the Blue Deacon, the rest of the Gray Priests, and the Black Vatican disciples would be able to blend into the crowd and escape with ease.
It was impossible for the Hunter Group to detain, interrogate, and collect evidence from all one thousand and five hundred people.
Most of the members of the Black Vatican were no different from ordinary people as long as they did not give themselves away!
"They only managed to capture a Gray Priest after such a huge operation," Mofan let out a sigh. He still felt that the operation was too rash and reckless.
"Humph, if she's really the Gray Priest …" Ling Ling harrumphed coldly. She was not satisfied with the Golden Battle Hunters, who were eager to make a name for themselves.
Ling Ling was well aware of the Golden Battle Hunters' wishful thinking.
Previously, when the Black Vatican was still active in the country, the Golden Battle Hunters had only captured a few members of the Black Vatican anonymously and handed them over to the Enforcement Union in exchange for a huge reward.
However, they had actually revealed themselves today, simply because the Black Vatican had been wiped out in the country. Basically, the manor was the only place left. The Golden Battle Hunters had mobilized almost the entire Hunter Group to put on a show and capture the last remaining members of the Black Vatican hiding in the manor. The Golden Battle Hunters would surely make the headlines tomorrow.
The people of the country hated the Black Vatican to the bone. Anyone that stepped forward to eliminate the Black Vatican would be praised as a hero by the people.
The Golden Battle Hunters were planning to make a name for themselves in the country, which was why they had carried out such a large-scale operation.
Unfortunately, in Ling Ling's eyes, it was extremely stupid!
First of all, there was a Blue Deacon hiding in the manor. He was the one who had the list of all the remaining members of the Black Vatican in the country.
Secondly, there were around one thousand and five hundred people in the manor. Most of them were ordinary people like Rong Sheng, Zhao Pinlin, Wang Xuxu, and Guo Wenyi. If the Golden Battle Hunters were not efficient enough, the Black Vatican would be driven into a corner and turn them into innocent victims.
"Ling Ling, why did you say something bad was going to happen?" Mo Fan asked as he recalled her words.
"This Carly is just a smokescreen, according to my investigation …" Ling Ling said.
A few days ago, Ling Ling had thoroughly investigated this Carly. She did have a list of names, but the list …
Mo Fan was about to listen to Ling Ling's analysis of Carly when the captain in a shirt suddenly smashed the communication device on the ground and kicked Carly, who was trapped in the darkness.
"Assh * * *!" cursed the captain.
"Pan Jin, what's going on?" asked the Hunter with a thick beard.
"The people on this woman's list are all prostitutes!" Pan Jin was so angry that he was about to explode.
"What prostitutes?" A few of his teammates were confused.
…
Mo Fan's hearing was outstanding. He could hear Pan Jin's voice from a great distance away.
"Prostitutes?" Mo Fan blurted out in astonishment.
"Mm, this Carly is the brothel keeper of this manor. She provides sex services to the rich people who come here to have fun. She has a list of names under her. The names on the list are mainly female university students, white-collar workers, and housewives who come here to work part-time … she purposely covered it up in an advanced way, so it looks like a secret organization, like the Black Vatican," said Ling Ling.
"But this Carly is a Magician, which means she's just a smokescreen that the Black Vatican purposely threw out," said Mu Ningxue.
"Yes, the Golden Battle Hunters went through a meticulous plan. They mobilized over a thousand Magicians, borrowed the name of Master Mintian, and set up a sealing barrier that cost over a hundred million to capture a bunch of people and sell them. I wonder what the expression of their leader, Ge Ming, is on his face right now. What a weirdo, there are so many people in the group, but none of them have a brain, "said Ling Ling.
