Chapter 271: Mission Accomplished
It was obvious that the intelligence of the three hosts, not their strength, affected the quality of the Brain Eater.
After a long period of human experiments, the crazy scientists had come up with the best plan to breed the Blue Jade b.u.t.terfly.
The first host of the Brain Eater was preferably a five-or six-year-old child whose brain was in its final golden stage of development.
The second host would choose a youth between the ages of 13 and 15.
The third host would choose a youth between the ages of 20 and 26 whose brain had reached its peak.
After the age of 26 or 27, the human brain began to gradually decline, making it unsuitable to become the host of the Brain Eater.
After the results of this research were released, the world was in an uproar.
Many countries in the world directly issued bans, banning any organization or individual from using humans to nurture the Blue Jade b.u.t.terfly larvae.
One of them was the Illumination Empire Federation, where Lugh was located.
The results of the Brain Eater’s research were currently being kept a secret. Even a portion of the Beast Masters didn’t know about it.
Lugh had only learned about it from the last time he investigated the Beast G.o.d Cult.
“Kill all these people.”
Lugh pointed at the nine Beast Masters who were guarding the warehouse.
The Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic b.u.t.terfly nodded.
The two members of the Wolf Slayer Gang brought Lugh into the warehouse, trembling in fear.
The warehouse was empty. There were a few beds arranged on the floor.
The two members of the Wolf Slayer Gang pressed a b.u.t.ton behind the door. The ground in the warehouse caved in, revealing an underground pa.s.sage.
Walking down the damp steps, Lugh saw the lights from afar through a narrow pa.s.sage.
Before he could enter the range of the lights, Lugh saw rows of cells. Almost all of the cells were holding prisoners.
“Joseph, Locke, what are you guys doing out here?”
A Gold-tier Beast Master stepped out.
Lugh slowly walked out of the dark shadows. When the Gold-tier Beast Master saw his military uniform, his face instantly turned pale.
Before he could make a move, the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic b.u.t.terfly flew out from behind Lugh.
When the thirteen members of the Wolf Slayer Gang saw Lugh and the others, they did not dare to move.
The reputation of the Emergency Response Team was known by everyone in the entire Southwest Region.
“That’s great. Are you here to save us?”
“Sir, come and save us!”
“Let us out.”
…
Only a small portion of the people locked up in the cell were so excited that they called out to Lugh and the others for help.
A large number of people sat quietly in the corner of the cell, as if they didn’t see Lugh and the others.
Lugh sniffed and followed the smell. Soon, he found the target.
The little girl was locked in the innermost corner of the cell.
Lugh stretched out his hand and broke the steel bars in the cell.
He walked into the cell. There was only a bed and a toilet in the cell.
The air was stuffy and there was a foul smell.
He walked in front of the little girl. The little girl seemed to have sensed some danger.
She lowered her head and curled up into a ball.
“Are you Ying Ying?”
Lugh tried his best to ask in a gentle voice.
Hearing Lugh’s words, the little girl slowly raised her head.
There were still traces of tears on her face.
When she saw Lugh’s military uniform, the fear in her eyes gradually recovered.
Lugh bent down and said, “I’m here to bring you back.”
The little girl suddenly jumped up and threw herself into Lugh’s arms, wailing loudly.
Lugh just hugged her tightly.
Two minutes later, Ying Ying was finally tired.
“Where’s Dad? Is Dad here too?”
“Your Dad has something on,” Lugh said in a low voice. “We’re all friends of your dad. It was your dad who asked us to come find you.”
“Okay.”
Lugh could tell that when she heard that her dad didn’t come, her eyes were filled with disappointment.
He couldn’t do anything about it.
The world couldn’t be perfect.
He could indeed order the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic b.u.t.terfly to make her happy.
But Lugh couldn’t do it.
“Come, I’ll bring you home. Your mother and grandmother are still waiting for you.”
“Mhm!”
The little girl obediently lay in Lugh’s arms.
Lugh walked out of the cell, and a few members of the 10th Team followed him.
When they saw the little girl in Lugh’s arms, smiles appeared on their faces.
The Beast Master who suggested feeding the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic b.u.t.terfly with the members of the Wolf Slayer Gang smiled and said, “Ying Ying, do you still remember me?”
“Uncle d.i.c.k!”
“So obedient!”
…
Lugh said, “Alright, quickly settle the matters at hand. Bring all the members of the Wolf Slayer Gang to the Emergency Response Team. We’ll take away some crucial evidence and hand it over to Captain Bill to deal with. Leave the rest of the corpses and prisoners to the city guards to deal with. Let’s see if we can save the lives of those ordinary people.”
Walker claimed that he had a good relationship with the Major of the city guards.
Lugh did not know whether what he said was true or not.
For the sake of safety, he decided to let Bill handle the matter.
Compared to the Wolf Slayer Gang, they had a reason to intervene when it came to the families of the Emergency Response Team members.
Lugh was a little worried about leaving it to the city guards of the Eastern City District.
With Bill’s temper, he would definitely get to the bottom of it and blow the whole thing up.
“Yes, Major.”
Lugh said to the Beast Master of the Northern District, “Go out and let the city guards of the Eastern District clean up the mess.”
He had long noticed that the city guards of the Eastern District were following behind them.
“Yes, Major.”
Not long after, the members of the Emergency Response Team found fourteen chrysalides. They found the notes of the human body nurturing Brain Eaters, as well as the procedures for handing over the chrysalides within the Wolf Slayer Gang.
They had already sold a portion of the chrysalides.
During this period of time, Lugh also checked Ying Ying’s head and found no signs of a perforation.
He also asked the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic b.u.t.terfly to sense that there was no such thing.
Lugh hated parasitic beasts. Just thinking about it made his scalp go numb.
A minute later, the city guards of the Eastern City District arrived. They already knew what the Wolf Slayer Gang was doing in the dark.
Their leader was very clear that once the news was reported, someone in the city guards of the Eastern City District would suffer.
However, there was nothing they could do.
This lid could not be covered.
Unless they dared to make a move against the Emergency Response Team.
“Give us two military vehicles.”
Lugh ordered the leader of the city guards of the Eastern City District.
“Okay, right away.”
The other party did not dare to be negligent, much less say no.
Very soon, the members of the Emergency Response Team escorted the members of the Wolf Slayer Gang and rode their military cars all the way to the Emergency Response Team camp.
When it was almost midnight, Lugh and the others finally arrived at the camp of the 10th Team.
Bill received the notice and quickly ran out.
“Brother Lugh, have you found her?”
“I’ve found her.”
Lugh pointed at the little girl in his arms.
“That’s good, that’s good.” Bill lowered his voice and smiled. “I owe you a favor this time. If you have any instructions in the future, just tell me.”
“What favor?” Lugh smiled. “It’s the right thing to do.”
Then, Lugh whispered to Bill about the Wolf Slayer Gang’s nurturing of the Blue Jade b.u.t.terfly larvae.
“Don’t worry. Leave these people to me,” Bill said with a livid face, “I’ll handle the rest myself.”
Although Bill’s voice was soft, Lugh could clearly feel the suppressed anger in his heart.
If the Wolf Slayer Gang members fell into his hands, they wouldn’t have a good ending.
Lugh had also thought of killing them at that time, but he held a little girl in his hands. He felt that something wasn’t right, so he let them go.
“Here, take the child. Hand it over to her family.”
This little girl was the most suitable person for Bill to hand over to her family.
Lugh didn’t really want to be thanked by her mother and grandmother either.
He wasn’t used to that kind of situation.
Bill stretched out his hand, placing it in the air before withdrawing it again.
He smiled awkwardly and said, “You want me to kill Fierce Beasts? Fine. Killing people is fine as well, but I’m clumsy. Forget about carrying the child. I’ll go find a girl.”
Not long after, a female Beast Master ran out. She gently carried the sleeping little girl away from Lugh’s arms, not even waking her up.
“Leave her with you first. I’ll immediately send someone to find them right now.”
The female Beast Master nodded and left with the child in her arms.
Lugh knocked Walker unconscious with a punch and handed him over to Bill.
“This is the boss of the Wolf Slayer Gang. He seems to be a Low-tier Platinum Beast Master. Keep an eye on him!”
“Alright, he won’t be able to escape!”
“The other evidence is with them. I’ll take my leave first.”
“Rest early.”
After leaving the 10th Team’s camp, Lugh returned to his room.
[Ding! Congratulations to host for finding the family member of the missing Emergency Response Team members.]
[Mission completed. Reward distributed. Please select the pet talent that needs to be upgraded.]
Lugh thought for a moment and decided to increase the Berserk Bear’s Peerless Sensitive Sense of Smell.
Sometimes, this investigative ability was still very useful.
