Chapter 743: The Moyu conspiracy finally revealed, and the training farce also occurred
Lin Qiye grabbed Wu Hen's arm and ran out of the factory, his shoes slipping on the wet ground.
Wu Hen's shotgun was still emitting smoke, and the barrel was so hot that it hurt his palm.
The roar behind him was getting closer and closer, making his eardrums hurt.
He glanced back and saw black and red slime flowing down the corridor wall.
The skeleton monster's fingertips scraped against the metal door frame, sending sparks flying.
"Qi Ye! The iron gate in front!" Wu Hen shouted.
Lin Qiye didn't respond, he took out the Thunder and Fire Talisman and slapped it on the door lock.
The flames exploded with a bang, and the iron door fell to the ground crookedly.
Just as the two rushed out, they heard a "crash" sound behind them.
The water from the underground river overflowed, and the tentacles of the skeleton monster wrapped around Wu Hen's trouser legs.
"Fuck!" Wu Hen cursed, turned around and fired a shot.
The steel ball hit the tentacle, and black blood splattered half of his face.
The tentacles loosened in pain, and Lin Qiye took the opportunity to pull him towards the Demon Suppression Division.
The red light in the east grew brighter and brighter, dyeing half the sky blood red. The wind carried the smell of rust.
It was like someone had scattered a handful of iron scraps into the clouds.
The phone vibrated again. It was a message from An Qingyu: "I've brought the Thunder Fire Talisman and the drone. I'm waiting for you in the lobby."
Lin Qiye wiped the sweat from his face, replied "OK", and looked up to see the glass curtain wall of the Demon Suppression Building shining coldly in the red light.
Wu Hen suddenly slowed down and patted him on the shoulder: "Qi Ye, do you smell it?"
Lin Qiye sniffed. Besides the smell of rust, there was also a burnt smell, like the smell of a short-circuited wire.
He frowned and quickened his pace to rush into the hall - An Qingyu was standing at the elevator entrance holding a stack of thunder and fire talismans.
Li Zhenzhen huddled in the corner, clutching half of a broken crystal arrow in her hand. Jia Lan leaned against the wall, his face paler than paper.
"The arrow...I broke it this morning when I was tidying up my pillow."
Li Zhenzhen saw Lin Qiye coming over, tears started to fall.
"I thought it was just a decoration... Instructor Jialan said there was something wrong with this arrow, but I really don't know..."
Jia Lan rubbed his temples: "The Arrow of the God of Love is the last seal of the Blood Demon."
"It was intact when I checked it yesterday, but it suddenly broke in half this morning."
He pointed at the arrow in Li Zhenzhen's hand,
"The remaining half is in the monster's chest. Now that both seals are broken, the Blood Demon is about to wake up."
Lin Qiye stared at the arrow in Li Zhenzhen's hand. The fragments were still stained with a light blue spiritual light.
It matches the crack on the skeleton monster's chest.
He took out his communicator and contacted Fatty: "Fatty, what's going on with that red light in the east?"
Baili Pangpang's panting voice came from the communicator: "I'm in the observation room. That red light is not a natural phenomenon. It seems to be the resonance of some forbidden object."
"By the way, Qiye, Commander Zuo just had someone call me to his office. He said there's something urgent."
Just as Lin Qiye was about to speak, the broadcast in the hall suddenly sounded:
"Lin Qiye, Wu Hen, report to the commander's office. I repeat, Lin Qiye, Wu Hen, report to the commander's office."
Wu Hen raised his eyebrows: "Well, after running away from the monster, I have to run away from the leader."
He tugged at his sleeve stained with black blood and said, "Let's go."
The two took the elevator to the top floor. Zuo Qing's office door was open, and Chen Moyu was standing by the window with his back to the door.
Zuo Qing sat behind his desk with a pile of documents in front of him and a piece of printed paper in his hand, his knuckles white from clenching it.
"Close the door." Zuo Qing said without even raising his head.
Lin Qiye and Wu Hen had just closed the door when Zuo Qing suddenly slammed the printed paper on the table: "Secretary Chen, explain this."
Chen Moyu turned around, her usual smile still on her face: "Commander, what's the hurry?"
"The communication records intercepted by the Technical Department yesterday."
Zuo Qing picked up a piece of paper.
"'Sector B surveillance is dark, recruit files have been tampered with, and the Blood Evil Seal is about to be broken'—this was the message you sent to an overseas IP address at 2:00 AM yesterday."
Chen Moyu's smile froze.
"and this."
Zuo Qing picked up another piece of paper.
"Li Zhenzhen's recruit file stated 'no special psychic powers' when she first joined the company, but the technical department reviewed it the day before yesterday and discovered that her psychic power test report had been altered."
"Initial reports indicate she can sense the resonance of a forbidden object—just enough to trigger the seal on the Arrow of Love."
Lin Qiye's heart skipped a beat and he looked at the arrow in Li Zhenzhen's hand - it turned out that Li Zhenzhen was not a coincidence, but was deliberately arranged in.
Chen Moyu was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed: "Commander, you have great skills. You can even track down the overseas server I use."
"Do you think the Demon Suppression Division's technical department is just a decoration?"
Zuo Qing stood up, and the sword at his waist was unsheathed with a "swish", and the tip of the sword was against Chen Moyu's chest.
"Tell me, who told you to change the file? What good will it do you if the Blood Evil Seal is broken?"
Chen Moyu didn't hide, his eyes swept over Lin Qiye and Wu Hen:
"Commander, do you really think I'm the only one?"
He stretched out his hand to touch his chest. Lin Qiye, with sharp eyes, saw a flash of black light at his fingertips - it was a forbidden object!
"Be careful!" Lin Qiye rushed over, and Wu Hen's shotgun was already loaded.
But Chen Moyu was faster. The black light penetrated into his body, and his pupils instantly turned blood red.
The corners of his mouth stretched to his ears: "It's too late... The blood demon is about to wake up, you can't calm him down..."
Zuo Qing thrust his knife forward and pierced Chen Moyu's shoulder.
Nail him to the wall: "So what if he wakes up? The purpose of the Demon Suppression Division is to suppress these things!"
"Tell me, who is the mastermind behind this?"
Chen Moyu's laughter was like rusty gears. "Mastermind? Hahahaha... did you think it was someone?"
"It's you guys—the Demon Suppression Division has hidden too many forbidden items. If they can't suppress them, they will backfire sooner or later..."
His voice suddenly became hoarse, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Commander, don't blame me for not warning you... [Masked] Team..."
"What happened to Team [Masked]?"
Zuo Qing pushed his knife in a few inches further. "Where did they go?"
Chen Moyu's eyes gradually became dull, but a smile still hung on the corner of his mouth:
"Commander, there are some things... the less you know... the better..." His head tilted and he stopped breathing.
Zuo Qing pulled back the knife, and Chen Moyu's body slid to the ground.
Lin Qiye squatted down to check and found a black mark on the back of his neck.
It looked like a twisted flame—the symbol of the Dark Flame organization, which he had seen before in the forbidden object archives.
"Dark Flame."
Zuo Qing stared at the mark, his voice as heavy as a stone, "They finally took action."
Wu Hen scratched his head: "Didn't Dark Flame's lair be wiped out two years ago?"
"Destroying the nest doesn't mean destroying everyone."
Zuo Qing grabbed the coat on the sofa and put it on.
"Qiye, take Wu Hen to the training camp and keep an eye on Jia Lan and the new recruits, especially Li Zhenzhen."
"Blood Demon is about to wake up, Dark Flame will definitely make more moves."
Lin Qiye nodded: "I understand. Do I need to contact headquarters?"
"No need yet."
Zuo Qing glanced at the red light outside the window.
"People from headquarters can't get here quickly. We have to hold on on our own."
He bent down to pick up the phone that Chen Moyu had dropped on the ground, unlocked it, flipped through it, and his face became even darker.
"Fatty just said that the observation room detected a forbidden resonance. Please pick him up on the way to the training camp."
"Have him bring up the forbidden objects class—new recruits need to know how to deal with these things."
Wu Hen rubbed his hands and said, "Okay, it just so happens that I also want to listen to Pang Pang talk about forbidden things."
"The last time he talked about that mirror that eats shadows, it gave me goosebumps."
Lin Qiye patted him on the back and said, "Let's go to the hall to get the Thunder Fire Talisman first, and then go pick up Pangpang."
The two of them left the office, and just as the elevator door closed, Zuo Qing's cell phone rang.
He picked up the phone and heard the voice of the technical director:
"Commander, the spiritual energy fluctuations of the Blood Demon have been detected in the red light in the east. It is expected to fully awaken in half an hour..."
Zuo Qing stared at Chen Moyu's body and clutched his phone tightly.
"Call all demon slayers back to the headquarters and activate Level 1 alert."
"Tell the logistics department to move all the thunder and fire talismans out of the warehouse—tonight, the Demon Suppression Division will see bloodshed."
In the elevator, Wu Hen poked Lin Qiye: "Qiye, what do you think of the [Masked] team that Chen Moyu mentioned?"
Lin Qiye shook his head: "I don't know, but Commander Zuo definitely knows."
He touched the Thunder and Fire Talisman in his pocket.
"Don't think about that for now. Li Zhenzhen and Jia Lan are still in the training camp. We have to make sure they are safe."
The elevator opened with a ding, and An Qingyu stood outside holding the Thunder and Fire Talisman. Li Zhenzhen followed behind her with red eyes.
Galan was leaning against the wall, holding half a crystal arrow in his hand, looking at the sunlight.
"Let's go."
Lin Qiye patted Wu Hen,
"It's time to teach the new recruits."
The red light in the east became brighter, like a ball of red-hot iron, pressing down on the head of the Demon Suppression Division.
The smell of rust in the wind became stronger, mixed with a faint roar, and drifted into everyone's ears.
In the office on the top floor of the Demon Suppression Bureau, Zuo Qing's sword moved in another half inch, and the tip of the sword almost pierced through the wall behind Chen Moyu's shoulder blade.
A layer of mist appeared in Chen Moyu's blood-red pupils, but he was still smiling. Blood foam dripped down his chin onto Zuo Qing's military boots.
"Commander, you want to know about the Masked Squad? You should ask them yourself—"
He suddenly started coughing violently, and black blood splashed on Zuo Qing's face.
"Ask the old bastards who've been hiding forbidden objects as toys for twenty years."
Zuo Qing's temple was throbbing.
He had been the commander of the Demon Suppression Division for seven years and had seen too many vicious demons.
But the secretary in front of him, who was corroded by the forbidden object, made him feel more chilled than any monster.
He grabbed the tissue on the table and wiped his face, his movements so rough that they almost broke his skin. "Do you know what you're talking about?"
"of course I know."
Chen Moyu's voice suddenly became weak and feeble.
"The dark flame is just a fire. What really ignited it... was the dry wood that the Demon Suppression Division had piled up themselves."
His fingers dug into the wall quietly, and black blood oozed out from the cracks of his nails.
"Commander, guess...where was the last location indicated by the Masked Squad's psychic locator on the day they disappeared?"
Zuo Qing's hand paused.
The disappearance of all members of the Masked Squad three years ago was the biggest unsolved case during his tenure.
He had just taken over as commander when the technical department said the locator signal suddenly disappeared in the suburbs of Huaihai City.
But after three months of searching, they couldn't even find a piece of broken armor.
"Huaihai...prohibited goods warehouse."
Chen Moyu's mouth was grinning from ear to ear.
"You think they're going on a mission? They're going... to clean up someone's mess."
He suddenly convulsed violently, making a gurgling sound in his throat.
"The Blood Demon has awakened... The seal on the forbidden warehouse... is about to break..."
Only then did Zuo Qing discover that the dark flame mark on the back of Chen Moyu's neck was hot, like a piece of red-hot charcoal.
He yanked his sword away and stepped back, the scabbard hitting the table with a dull thud. "Technical Department! Bring the purification talisman—"
