94: Section 94

He took down the handkerchief that had been blocking his nose.

"Captain Tang, let me state one thing first: I wasn't here last night. These people and the Yao Beast were all killed by our captain. If you want to understand the specific situation, go find our captain and ask!"

"Besides, these Black-robed Men are indeed from the Blood Drop organization, but they are all the lowest-level cultists within that organization. Simply put, they are just cannon fodder!"

After Mo Yanfeng finished speaking.

Captain Tang Zhan nodded: "Then can you tell me, why didn't these people stay properly in the New District and come running to our Old District instead?"

"And those Martial Artists, were they all killed by these people?"

Captain Tang Zhan pointed to the dozen or so corpses of Martial Artists lying side by side not far away.

Mo Yanfeng looked over intently.

"I'm not sure. Our squad chased them all the way from the New District, and we don't know what their actual purpose was!"

"And as for their purpose in capturing those Martial Artists, how about we tell you after we've investigated it clearly?"

Captain Tang Zhan: "..."

"So many people died; it seems I'll have to write another report when I get back..."

"No need. I will explain the situation to your leaders later. These Blood Drop Cultists... heh, can they even be called human?"

Chapter 83: Panicked Old Lin, It Wasn't a Dream

Early morning. 6:18 AM.

Lin Dazhi, who had been in a deep sleep all night, suddenly sat up. He looked around his surroundings with terrified eyes.

He discovered that he was actually lying in bed.

"Did I have a dream last night? Ouch..."

Suddenly, the pain in his left eye socket caused his expression to change.

He hurriedly picked up his phone and opened the camera function to take a look.

He saw that his eye socket had turned black and blue, and a large lump had swollen up.

This made him realize that what happened last night was definitely not a dream.

With a panicked expression, he hurried out of bed and rushed out.

"You're awake?"

When he arrived in the living room, he saw Liu Hongmei cooking in the kitchen.

Lin Yu had already changed into his school uniform and was sitting at the dining table.

"Dad? What's wrong with you?"

He turned his head to look and, noticing the black and blue mark on Lin Dazhi's eye socket, hurriedly asked.

Lin Dazhi looked at Lin Yu with somewhat panicked eyes, then looked at Liu Hongmei.

"Last night... did someone come into the house?"

As soon as the words were out, Lin Yu looked blank.

Liu Hongmei even walked out of the kitchen and said: "What nonsense are you spouting? Do you have a fever? I'm the one who should be asking you what happened last night?"

"Why were you lying on the floor outside the bathroom? And why is your eye purple?"

"Did you bump into the doorframe because you were dazed from sleep?"

"Bullshit!"

After Liu Hongmei finished speaking, Lin Dazhi was furious.

"Even if I bumped into the doorframe, I couldn't have damaged my eye like this, could I? Xiaoyu, I'm asking you, did you go out last night?" Lin Dazhi glared at Lin Yu and said.

He still remembered what happened last night.

Someone clearly opened the door and came in, and even entered Lin Yu's room.

And in the living room, especially at the entrance, there was a thick smell of blood...

The next moment, without waiting for Lin Yu to answer his question, Lin Dazhi hurriedly walked towards the entrance.

When he picked up Lin Yu's shoes and examined them carefully, the dirt on them had completely disappeared.

"Old Lin, what is wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare last night?"

Liu Hongmei walked over with a worried face.

Lin Yu couldn't eat anymore either; he came over to stand in front of Lin Dazhi and watched him.

He shook his head, his eyes gradually becoming panic-stricken.

"No... something is wrong, something is definitely wrong... You, you are hiding something from me. Last night, last night Xiaoyu, he..."

Thinking of this, Lin Dazhi could no longer control his emotions.

He thought about the moment last night when he knocked on Lin Yu's door. He had seen Lin Yu wearing a black outfit, with a very ferocious expression on his face.

Veins were spread all over his face, like disgusting worms.

His eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty red hue.

In the darkness, he was like a beast ready to devour people.

He couldn't forget that terrifying scene. And although that face was ferocious and terrifying, it was indeed Lin Yu...

"Old Lin, are you too tired? Why not skip work today and stay home to rest?"

"Dad, you're just too sad because my brother ran away from home, right? It's okay, I'll go to school today to look for him. If he hates me and that's why he left home, I'd rather let him beat me up. I'll persuade him to come back, okay..."

Listening to their persuasion, Lin Dazhi's mind was somewhat disordered.

He shook his head repeatedly and didn't give any answer.

After a long while, he looked at Liu Hongmei and said: "I'm not eating breakfast!"

After saying this, Lin Dazhi opened the door and walked out.

Just at the moment the door slammed shut, the expressions on Lin Yu and Liu Hongmei's faces gradually changed.

The anxiety, concern, and confusion from just a moment ago had all vanished.

...

Click—the sound of a key turning in the lock rang out.

Lin Yi, who was eating breakfast, hurriedly stood up and walked to the living room.

He saw the door open, and Tang Qinru walked in with her bag on her back.

As soon as she entered the room, a thick smell of Chinese herbal medicine spread through the air.

"Hmm? Why are you awake so early today?"

Tang Qinru asked with a smile. However, her face was full of exhaustion.

"Sister Qinru, you wouldn't have been busy all night, would you?"

Lin Yi also asked with some concern.

Tang Qinru hung her backpack on the wall. She took off her coat, leaving only a thin shirt underneath.

Her two high mounds were clearly visible. Tang Qinru nodded: "Yeah, I'm almost exhausted to death!"

"By the way, did you eat the dinner I prepared for you last night? That was monster meat I had someone custom-order for you; it's good for your cultivation!" Tang Qinru asked in a tired voice.

Lin Yi nodded: "I came back too late yesterday and fell asleep before I could eat it. I just heated it up... By the way, Sister Qinru, you haven't eaten yet, right? Why don't you come over and have some before you go to sleep?"

Tang Qinru shook her head: "I won't eat. I just want to sleep now. You're going to the Martial Arts Hall after you finish eating, right? Just leave the bowls and chopsticks there; I'll clean them up after I wake up. I'm going back to my room to sleep now..."

Tang Qinru seemed to not want to say another word now. She just wanted to lie on the bed and have a good sleep.

Clearly, she had been busy all night last night without even slacking off to rest. Otherwise, she wouldn't be this exhausted.

Lin Yi didn't disturb her anymore and returned to the dining table to continue eating his breakfast.

After he finished eating, he washed the bowls and chopsticks himself. Afterward, he opened the refrigerator and took out some vegetables: eggs, tomatoes, meat, green peppers, and potatoes.
