506: Section 506
The road outside was almost filled to capacity.
The heavy losses suffered by the Public Security Bureau were even greater than the combined total for all of Songshan City.
Meng Die glanced at him: "You don't need to blame yourself; the problem doesn't lie with you!"
"Who could have anticipated that those people could launch attacks in multiple waves? However, the casualties they caused are even more severe than ours!"
Chu Zhengxiong took a deep drag of his cigarette and nodded: "If you put it that way, I can feel a bit more at ease!"

"I just received news that Lanshan City, Jingyang City, Longhu City, Pushan City, and others—a total of eighteen cities—were all attacked by those Men in Black last night!"
"It is only here that our losses are relatively better, without causing too many casualties!"
"However, places like Lanshan and Pushan have suffered heavy damage!"
"Especially the students at Lanshan University; their casualties are quite severe!"
Wei Shang walked over and recounted the latest casualty figures one by one.
When Lin Yi, Chu Zhengxiong, and Meng Die heard this news, their expressions all turned grave.
Chu Zhengxiong hurriedly asked: "What about the Monster Hunting Team in those cities?"
Wei Shang glanced at him and shook his head with a darkened expression.
"The casualties were heavy. Several teams were completely wiped out, and others... are barely hanging on!"
Bang!
When Chu Zhengxiong heard this, he slammed a fist into a nearby tree.
The tree, thick enough for a person to wrap their arms around, shook violently from the impact.
Leaves came fluttering down with a 'rustling' sound.
Chu Zhengxiong's eyes were bloodshot, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Damn it all, these Men in Black are just targeting the Monster Hunting Team, aren't they?"
Ever since these Men in Black began their invasion, they had indeed targeted the Monster Hunting Team in every city first.
They rarely even intercepted the Public Security Bureau, whereas the Monster Hunting Team had become their primary target.
For such a long time, many Monster Hunting Teams in various cities had suffered heavy losses.
The captains of these teams were either dead or injured.
This left the Monster Hunting Bureau completely in a passive position.
Seeing Chu Zhengxiong's distressed expression, Meng Die, Wei Shang, and Feng Lei all fell into deep thought.
Lin Yi nodded and said: "This is truly a detail that is easy to overlook!"
"It seems these Men in Black have been targeting the Monster Hunting Team from the very beginning!"
"Their strike targets have always included the Monster Hunting Team!"
"Big Brother Chu, did you offend someone?"
Meng Die also looked at Chu Zhengxiong: "That's right, if we want to find the flaws of these Men in Black, this might really be a clue!"
"According to our investigation, the attack targets of these Men in Black are mostly students from various universities!"
"This also includes some local middle school and high school students!"
"They attack these students indiscriminately!"
"However, it seems your Monster Hunting Bureau is also on their target list!"
"This is somewhat baffling. Why would they target the Monster Hunting Bureau? Could it be that you really offended someone?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Zhengxiong turned back to look at them.
The words Mo Yanfeng had said before flashed through his mind.
Among those Men in Black, there were people who felt familiar to him.
That night, Mo Yanfeng even suspected that there was a mole from the Men in Black within the Monster Hunting Bureau.
Chu Zhengxiong thought for a long time and relayed everything Mo Yanfeng had told him.
After hearing this, the others also agreed with Mo Yanfeng's speculation.
Only Lin Yi said with a solemn expression: "We cannot be certain that these Men in Black are related to the Monster Hunting Bureau based on these speculations alone. According to the clues we possess!"
"Actually, it is not just the Monster Hunting Bureau that has been infiltrated by them; it also includes the Martial Suppression Bureau and various universities!"
"Isn't the Senior Brother of the Old Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain an example?"
"Could it be that these Men in Black are related to Longhu Mountain?"
"To find out who is leading them, we must continue our investigation!"
"However, my idea is to mix some important information and intelligence before reporting it to the leaders of each department—turning some fake news into real news, and some real news into fake news!"
"By uploading mixed information like this, perhaps we can uncover the mastermind behind the various departments!"
"If we want to find out the origins of these Men in Black and the forces hidden behind them, we must start with the high-ranking members of those Men in Black. As for those small fries, do you think they would know anything?"
After Lin Yi finished speaking, Meng Die and Chu Zhengxiong looked at each other.
"As expected, a university student's thinking is clear enough. Why don't we form an Alliance between us?"
"Let's call together the people we each trust!"
"We will investigate these matters in secret and find the people hiding behind the scenes!"
"No matter who they are or what their status is!"
"We must not shield them, and we are not allowed to keep secrets!"
"Captain Chu, what do you think?"
Meng Die smiled as she looked at Chu Zhengxiong.
A flash of resentment crossed the latter's eyes: "I certainly have no problem with that. If it turns out the mastermind is Meng, I will not hesitate to take them out with my own hands!"
"Good, then let's reach a verbal agreement today!"
"All information and results from the investigation can only be shared among us. Any clues discovered must be promptly communicated to the others!"
"I have no problem with that!"
Chu Zhengxiong nodded.
Thus, the Monster Hunting Team and the Martial Suppression Bureau reached a cooperative relationship.
Seeing that they had finished discussing, Lin Yi smiled and said: "Then I won't participate in the rest!"
"It is already dawn, and Wei Nan and I need to go back and rest!"
Hearing this, Chu Zhengxiong hurriedly nodded: "You two should go back quickly; leave the rest to us!"
"That's right, you two should just go back to school and study hard!"
"As for what follows, with us and Captain Chu, we won't let you be distracted!"
"Once we find the mastermind, we will definitely give you an answer!"
Lin Yi nodded with a smile, and after bidding farewell to them with Wei Nan, he walked back toward Xingwu University.
Watching their figures, Meng Die said with a light chuckle: "He is increasingly showing the responsibility and decision-making power of a Martial God!"
Hearing this, Wei Shang and Feng Lei both nodded.
"That's right, and his current Realm has become unfathomable. Just what level has he reached?"
Meng Die turned back to look at them.
She chuckled without speaking, although she had already sensed it.
Lin Yi had already reached the Star Quenching Realm.
However, she could not say this. Once spoken aloud and it reached the ears of those Men in Black, it might bring unnecessary trouble to Lin Yi.
Moreover, Old He had said before that the true target of these Men in Black might be Lin Yi.
Those so-called talented students were just incidental.
Their goal was to control the future Martial God for their own use in the future. If this goal could not be achieved, then only one option remained... destruction.
And while they were at it, kill all the other talented students as well.
To sever the Foundation of the Martial Dao...
If those Men in Black knew that Lin Yi was growing rapidly and had already reached the Star Quenching Realm, they would become even more insane.
Therefore, this matter must be kept secret; those Men in Black must never know.
Otherwise, Lin Yi would be in danger.
