Chapter 237: Exceptional Sense of Smell
He let out a light breath and looked at the crowd that was slowly dispersing around him. Occasionally, he would meet the gaze of a young girl.
The young girl lowered her head shyly and hurriedly turned around to leave.
Lugh stared blankly at the back of the young girl and gradually disappeared around the corner.
Bruce asked with a grin, “Captain, they’ve all left. Do you want to chase after them?”
Lugh did not answer Bruce. Instead, he looked at Warren and asked, “Adjutant Warren, let me ask you something. Did you catch some followers of the Beast G.o.d Cult? were those female followers violated?”
Lugh remembered that Warren had mentioned that there were men among the followers of the Beast G.o.d Cult.
Cultists could be roughly divided into two types:
One was a real madman who believed that the Beast G.o.d really existed. For the sake of their faith, they would do many crazy things.
Another was a clear-headed person who knew that the so-called G.o.ds did not exist. They only used the name of G.o.d to satisfy their own desires.
All human desires were the same.
Power, money, reputation, and beauty.
Warren said in a low voice, “There are indeed, but those believers think that they are serving the Beast G.o.d.”
Lugh raised his eyebrows and asked, “Are there many of them?”
“A little.”
Lugh said in a low voice, “After we catch them, I will blow their heads off.”
Warren could feel the terrifying killing intent from Lugh.
“Adjutant Warren, help me find all the missing persons cases in your Nanyu City in the past month. I want women.”
Warren was shocked. He was not an idiot. After Lugh’s advice, he knew that Lugh had found a breakthrough.
“Major Lugh’s mission, those followers of the Beast G.o.d Cult might…”
“Why not?” Lugh smiled. “It is obvious that the other party is a lecher and has a spirit pet. It is not easy to do such a thing. Even if the other party really did not cheat the women, we are also idle. Our brows are being taken care of by you. We can’t do big things, but we can do small things.”
“Major Lugh, can I report this matter to the Deputy Guardian? I think what you said makes sense.”
“Alright.”
This matter still required the cooperation of Nanyu City. Lugh’s mission was this.
Whether it was the first achievement or not, he didn’t care.
What he needed was to complete the mission and get rid of the members of the Beast G.o.d Cult who were hiding in Nanyu City.
Returning to the military headquarters, Warren told Baker about Lugh’s guess.
Baker said helplessly, “Major Lugh, you’re right. We thought of it a few days ago, but Adjutant Warren was sent by me to monitor the progress of the search, so he didn’t know much.”
Lugh asked, “What was the result?”
After searching for a month, Nanyu City would definitely start from another direction.
Some people in Nanyu City’s military noticed that the female believers had been violated and suspected that the members of the Beast G.o.d Cult were more l.u.s.tful. It was not surprising that they decided to start the investigation from the missing girl.
Baker took out a photo and handed it to Lugh.
In the photo was an extremely beautiful girl with long hair and a warm smile on the corner of her mouth.
“Lilian went missing seventeen days ago. When we noticed this possibility, she had already been missing for ten days. We sent out the best Golden Hounds in the city, but we didn’t find any clues!”
Baker said, “It’s probably because our strict search recently scared them. No one else has gone missing.”
“Can you take us to take a look?”
Baker emphasized, “It’s already been 17 days.”
“I want to take a look.”
Baker glanced at Lugh and smiled casually. He handed a doc.u.ment to him and said, “Okay, I’ll hand the doc.u.ment to you. If you don’t want to give up, go take a look.”
“Okay.”
After taking the doc.u.ment, Lugh led his men out of the military headquarters.
It was obvious that he did not have much hope.
“So what if it’s 17 days? Do we have any other choice?”
Lugh found Lilian’s address and handed it to Warren. “Take us there.”
On the way, Lugh read the file carefully and roughly understood the incident.
Lilian was just an ordinary civilian worker in a factory.
Seventeen days ago, she had never returned home after going to work at night.
Her family thought that Lilian was working overtime. After all, overtime was normal.
The next day, her family felt that something was wrong, so they went to the factory to look for their daughter.
After checking the surveillance cameras at the factory entrance, they found that their daughter had gone missing.
They put all their energy into the house and searched the members of the Beast G.o.d Cult.
Later, when Nanyu City noticed that Lilian had gone missing for ten days, it was already too late.
When they arrived at Lilian’s house, Lugh met Lilian’s parents and younger brother.
They were not in good condition and their eyes were red.
“Sir, have you found Lilian?”
“Not yet!”
Lilian’s parents and younger brother were disappointed.
“Bring me to Lilian’s room to have a look.”
“Okay.”
Lilian’s mother brought Lugh into Lilian’s bedroom.
The bedroom was very simple. The books used for basic accounting were neatly arranged on the desk.
A bouquet of dried rose flowers was placed in a vase next to it.
Lugh closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Countless scents instantly filled his mind.
He glanced at Lilian’s mother and said, “I’m a Beast Master. I’m very sensitive to scents.”
“Mhm.”
He sniffed the air on the pillow, the blanket, and Lilian’s clothes.
With Lugh’s reminder, Lilian’s mother didn’t find anything wrong.
“I’ll leave my daughter’s matter to you, Sir.”
“I’ll do my best.”
It was already seventeen days later, and Lugh didn’t dare to guarantee anything.
Next was the factory where Lilian was working.
The factory’s surveillance showed that Lilian had left the factory.
Colin whispered, “Do you think the Captain can find her?”
Bruce whispered, “Have you forgotten that the Captain is especially good at scent tracking?”
“Yes, I remember that he was rated First Cla.s.s. In the entire Southwest Region, he is at the top level.”
Hearing their words, Lugh only smiled.
When he entered the emergency team’s evaluation, his sense of smell and tracking ability had indeed been rated First Cla.s.s.
Back then, the Berserk Bear’s sense of smell was only at a Rare-tier.
But now, the Berserk Bear’s sense of smell was Peerless.
In the entire Illumination Empire Alliance, his sense of smell and tracking ability was definitely top-notch.
As long as it was a person, he could smell their period even from a thousand meters away.
Standing at the entrance of the factory, Lugh sniffed and tens of thousands of scents surged into his brain at the same time.
Lugh tried his best to distinguish Lilian’s unique scent from the tens of thousands of scents.
After fighting on the spot for two minutes, he slowly opened his eyes and took firm steps to turn left.
The smell was very faint, and was covered by countless other stronger scents.
But it still didn’t escape Lugh’s sense of smell.
The four members of the emergency team behind him and Warren immediately followed.
After walking for more than ten minutes, they came to an intersection, and Lugh stopped on the spot.
The smell that Lilian left here was slightly stronger.
If they went straight, they would be Lilian’s home.
But at that time, she chose to turn right.
Lugh also turned right, and the old buildings on both sides of the street gradually became more beautiful.
Through an arch, Lugh and the others entered the Central District of Nanyu City.
After another ten minutes, Lugh arrived at an apartment district.
After strolling through the apartment district, Lugh managed to arrive.
He turned around and asked Warren, “Who lived in the six buildings we pa.s.sed by just now?”
“Most of the families of the soldiers.”
“They really know how to hide.”
“Major Lugh means that they are hiding there?”
“At least Lilian entered there at that time.”
Lugh glanced at the flower bed beside him and waved his hand, causing the Bloodthirsty h.e.l.l Vine to fall into the flower bed.
“Monitor all the underground areas nearby. Don’t let anyone slip away from the underground.”
The Bloodthirsty h.e.l.l Vine slowly sank into the soil.
“Adjutant Warren, go and inform Deputy Guardian Baker to send someone over.”
“Okay!”
Ten minutes later, Baker arrived.
In fact, this place was not far from the Military Headquarters of Nanyu City.
“Major Lugh, are you sure that the people of the Beast G.o.d Cult are in that apartment?”
“I’m only sure that Lilian entered that apartment.”
Lugh emphasized, “It’s not good for me to get close to it. Besides, the people living in the apartment are the military families on your side.”
“Mhm.” Baker nodded. “Guardian Hall will be here soon. He’ll be making a move personally this time.”
“That’s good.”
Hall was a Platinum-tier Beast Master. With him making a move, it was naturally a sure thing.
