I diluted the Vitality Potion with water and together with a few others, administered it to everyone. This way, we could preserve their lives and give the doctor time to find the cause of their ailments and provide treatment.
When the police arrived, it was my old partner, Qian Zhou. I explained the situation to him just as the ambulance pulled up. With the police and medical staff taking over, our task was complete.
Feng Qiu looked at the sky and said, "Senior, it's time to change shifts; let's head back!"
"Not yet. Let's go to the west side of the city. I've already notified the patrol team there; we'll act together from now on." I had obtained an address in the west side at the nightclub, and we needed to check it out.
We met up with Mu Xue's team from the west side and arrived at a magnificent building.
"This is Azure Sky Imperial Court, where many high-society parties are held," I explained.
"I haven't heard of anything unusual here; we checked this place before," Mu Xue replied.
There was indeed something wrong; thin black mist swirled around.
I squinted and said, "There might be a hidden chamber, one of those underground ones, but the elevator or stairs leading down are concealed."
"Mu Xue, your team has checked this place before; they look familiar. You all stay outside for support. Xiao Tray, check the underground garage; Feng Qiu, you take the main hall; Shaohua, you go to the VIP room. I'll check the staff office area and send word if I find anything."
As I expected, I found a hidden door in the manager's office area. Inside was a grand banquet in progress. Wealthy businessmen and officials were mingling, their glasses clinking together.
Among them were a group of scantily clad men and women. They were being teased, touched, and even kissed by the wealthy guests. Yet their faces showed no signs of emotion—like puppets.
Finding a suitable corner, I shielded myself with my body and discreetly placed my phone behind me. The camera turned on as I set an illusion spell.
This underground space was vast; I cautiously observed my surroundings while wearing a lewd smile similar to those around me, wandering about to gather information.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps approached. I slightly turned my head and saw a security guard coming up.
I focused my hearing intently.
"Manager, we caught someone in the underground garage—a tall guy who knows magic."
"You go ahead; I'll be down shortly," came the manager's reply.
A tall guy in the underground garage? It couldn't be that Xiao Tray had been discovered.
I kept my composure while paying attention.
The manager instructed his personnel: "I'll go take a look. If I don't notify you in ten minutes, prepare for immediate evacuation."
"Understood, Manager."
I cursed under my breath: "Old fox."
I quickly went to the restroom, closed the stall door, and used invisibility to follow. On the way, I notified Mu Xue to surround the area and to act in eight minutes, cautioning that there were skilled opponents present.
I followed the manager into a private room and then through a hidden door. Upon seeing Big Hammer, I swiftly removed the restraints on him. I squeezed his hand to signal him to cooperate. Taking out his phone, I began recording.
In this dark room, I searched around and found some documents and a USB drive. I glanced at the documents, which contained various icons and text. Time was tight, so I collected everything that might be useful into my storage space.
With the evidence gathered, I patted Big Hammer's hand, and we both moved against the mage. Outside, Mu Xue also acted according to schedule. After controlling the scene, we conducted a brief inquiry and learned from them that they were capturing people to train them as playthings for the enjoyment of the wealthy and executives. Those with stubborn minds who could not be tamed were controlled with drugs.
Once under the influence of these drugs, they would only obey the commands of those who administered them. After hearing this, we felt a chill run down our spines. I called Zhou Shu to report the situation.
"This is how it is; this is a massive organization that requires everyone in the alliance to cooperate if we are to uproot it completely."
"You all should hand over your findings to the police and return to file a detailed report; I will handle subsequent matters."
After a busy night, everyone was exhausted. I went to the mission hall to hand over my task and submitted all collected materials before everyone returned home to rest.
In the following days, I waited for operational directives. During patrols, I dismantled several similar hideouts. Half a month passed without any leads, which felt abnormal.
It wasn't until I visited Ancestor that things changed. While waiting for Ancestor in the house, I noticed an icon identical to one from the documents on a book. It was again about Ancestor; someone was trying to frame him once more.
When Ancestor arrived, I smiled and handed him the book, informing him of its connection to the icons and the taming of human slaves. "Ancestor, you really attract trouble; you've been framed again." Ancestor looked at the book in silence. The quietness made me feel somewhat awkward, causing me to stop smiling.
"It's me, the book is mine."
"Ancestor, this is not a joke."
"I'm not joking." The Ancestor was very serious.
But I didn't believe it: "Ancestor, you should rest well. I'll come to see you next time."
My heart felt heavy.
The only one who could protect the Ancestor was someone else.
Feeling unstable, I applied for two days of leave from the team.
I stayed at home, not wanting to go out, drinking to drown my sorrows, but it only made me feel worse.
Ha.
Brother.
Ha.
Holding the bottle, I spoke to the air: "I won't return until I'm drunk, cheers."
After sobering up, my thoughts slowly returned.
Maybe I was wrong.
Without evidence, nothing can be concluded; it might just be another frame-up.
I rubbed my hungover head and checked my phone.
Oh!
I forgot to charge it; it was dead. While waiting for it to charge, I tidied up the room filled with empty cans and grabbed a piece of bread to nibble on.
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong.
The urgent doorbell rang. I quickly crumpled the remaining bread into a ball and stuffed it into my mouth as I got up to open the door.
I opened it just a crack and heard Shaohua's anxious voice: "Senior, Big Hammer is missing."
Upon hearing this, I quickly pulled the door wide open: "Have you reported it?"
"We couldn't reach you, so we split up; Feng Qiu went to the alliance."
"What about the group item?"
"The sensing has disappeared."
I turned back to grab my phone: "Go to where the sensing disappeared."
While on the way, I called Mu Xue: "Zhang Dachui is missing; I remember you know tracking techniques. I'm sending my location; please hurry and meet us."
When Mu Xue arrived, we hadn't reached our destination yet, and we nodded at each other in acknowledgment.
After arriving at the location, the three of us spread out to search and found fragments of Big Hammer's item in the flower bed.
Mu Xue used the fragments and the group item in Shaohua's hand as a medium to expand her consciousness.
" hurry, he is bleeding all over."
Sure enough, after walking for a while, bloodstains began to appear on the ground.
As we got closer, Mu Xue lost track of the other party.
"We've been discovered."
"Go to the last known location." Given the amount of blood on this path, Da Chui's situation is extremely dangerous; we must hurry.
When we arrived at the location, I immediately sat down and said, "Protect me."
Over the years, my Dark Element has proven quite effective.
In such a short time, the other party couldn't have gone far.
As long as the Dark Element is fast enough, I can capture their silhouette.
However, it does have the drawback of consuming energy, which is not favorable in battle, but given the urgency of the situation, I can't worry about that now.
The Dark Element spread out like ripples in water. After a few moments, I discovered the other party's trail.
"Mu Xue, provide protection; Shaohua, carry me over there."
On Shaohua's back, I used various enhancement items to recover quickly.
I can walk, but I need to conserve my strength; whether searching for traces with Dark Element or preparing for the upcoming battle, I cannot afford to be weak.
"Stop!" Shaohua set me down.
I continued my search.
After several attempts, the other party realized they couldn't shake us off and stopped moving.
I opened my eyes: "The enemy has set up defenses three miles from here. I'll hold them off; Mu Xue will rescue Da Chui. Shaohua, protect yourself and set up defenses. Once Da Chui is saved, Shaohua will immediately help him stop the bleeding and provide conservative treatment while we wait for reinforcements."
We moved quickly and stopped when we got closer to our target.
We observed our surroundings; it was silent and still, not even a sound from insects.
I threw out a Shattering Illusion Tool, but there was no fluctuation in space at all.
As we advanced step by step, suddenly waves of items and spells appeared around us.
They came flying at us from all directions in a dense swarm.
I summoned a super alloy fish tank and quickly covered all three of us with it.
Boom! Boom! Blinding light flashed through, obstructing our vision.
Crack. Crack crack.
The fish tank was about to break.
I infused the Dark Element into the fish tank to increase its hardness.
Spell The bombardment stopped, and the fish tank remained intact.
"Proceed as planned." I retrieved the fish tank and rushed towards the densest part of the crowd, drawing the pressure onto myself.
The plan was successful.
Shaohua was treating Da Chui within the defensive formation, while Mu Xue moved around the formation to protect them, single-handedly blocking attacks from all directions.
I threw the fish tank to cover the two of them, alleviating Mu Xue's burden. The members of the Alliance had arrived at some point, and neither Mu Xue nor I could afford to be injured.
Both sides were at a stalemate; the enemy used a portion of their forces to hold me and Mu Xue back while five others prepared to attack Shaohua and Da Chui.
If they broke the already cracked fish tank, Da Chui's treatment would be interrupted, and his life would be in jeopardy.
The enemy was truly insidious.
I was not in my best condition; with three of their members pulled away, those remaining did not launch a strong attack but merely blocked me, making it difficult for me to break free.
Mu Xue was in a similar situation.
As the cracks in the fish tank increased, I desperately wanted to break free and no longer held back my strength.
"Ah, this is too much!"
In my rampage, I managed to create an opening; through that gap, I threw all my protective items towards Shaohua.
Seven beams of different colors shot towards them.
The five enemies halted their attack and leaped to intercept.
They only managed to block four beams.
One of them even failed.
Even though the gap was sealed again and I was surrounded once more, my heart felt at ease: "Hahaha, you fools."
There was no need to worry about Shaohua and Da Chui's safety; Mu Xue's pressure also significantly decreased.
As I released the anger within me, the enemy gradually faltered.
Just as I intended to capture a few of them alive, they quickly retreated without hesitation.
Their familiar tactics made my heart uneasy.
Everyone's condition was not great; we had no choice but to return to the Alliance first.
On the way back, we encountered the late-arriving Feng Qiu and other members of the Alliance.
Aside from necessary explanations, I said nothing else.
