122: From Chapter 122 onwards, you'll be called Sick Fog.

The commercial van parked next to the unfinished building was burning fiercely.

The thick smoke rising into the sky attracted the attention of quite a few people.

At this moment, many people were rushing over.

Luo Wei, who had been on the upper floor,

jumped down at this time.

He hadn't decided yet whether to take the shattered bronze censer with him.

Never did he expect that as he came down from the building, a wisp of smoke would emerge from the fragments of the bronze censer!

Ordinary people couldn't see that wisp of smoke at all; it could only be seen using the Eye of Thoroughness!

The wisp of smoke was like a snake taking flight, quickly winding through the air toward Luo Wei!

Faced with this situation, Luo Wei had no time to dodge at all!

He could only reach out his hand, attempting to store that wisp of smoke into his inventory!

Luo Wei was completely acting on the mindset of giving it a try, and to his surprise, he successfully stored the wisp of smoke into his inventory!

It was truly a false alarm; Luo Wei breathed a sigh of relief!

Afterward, he opened the system panel and clicked on the inventory.

He saw that the wisp of white smoke was like a small snake, trapped in a small slot of the inventory, struggling and twisting frantically.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Luo Wei's ear.

[Congratulations, you have obtained 1 intelligence point]

Having obtained an intelligence point, Luo Wei felt a surge of joy!

In other words, the system wanted him to obtain that eerie wisp of smoke!

Under the gaze of the Intelligence Eye, a piece of intelligence appeared next to the wisp of smoke.

'This thing can grow by devouring energy, and it can make people sick.'

This thing can grow?

Does that mean it possesses life?

People had already arrived near the unfinished building, so Luo Wei quickly evacuated.

After moving to a secluded place, he decided to experiment a bit.

He took a deep breath and released the eerie smoke from his inventory!

After the eerie smoke appeared, it floated in the air as if it were observing Luo Wei.

Just now, when it was stored inside the inventory, it realized that Luo Wei was no ordinary person!

At this moment, it slowly approached, wanting to burrow into Luo Wei's body; the surging energy within Luo Wei was extremely enticing!

Luo Wei tried to communicate with it, "If you behave yourself, I can provide you with energy!"

As Luo Wei spoke, he took out a mineral water bottle.

The thing inside the bottle was, naturally, the spirit liquid he collected every morning from the white jade porcelain bottle.

Just as Luo Wei was about to open the cap, that wisp of smoke dove straight toward the bottle!

It naturally sensed the immense energy radiating from the spirit liquid!

Luo Wei certainly didn't let it have its way and quickly put the bottle away!

Having missed its target, the eerie smoke felt very dejected.

It realized that if it wanted to obtain energy, it had to behave and listen.

It coiled around Luo Wei's finger and rubbed against it, like a puppy wagging its tail.

Luo Wei was very satisfied with its performance. He took out the mineral water bottle again and dripped a few drops of spirit liquid onto the eerie smoke.

Instantly, the eerie smoke rapidly absorbed the spirit liquid. It coiled around Luo Wei's finger, its tail wagging even more joyfully!

It could attach itself to a human body, devour the energy within, and force others to resort to cannibalism just to absorb energy!

It could also make people sick; that Security Personnel from before bleeding from his seven orifices and falling dead was also its masterpiece!

Up until now, Luo Wei's offensive methods had been too singular.

If he wanted to quietly kill someone, he could only use the bad luck talisman.

But there was only one bad luck talisman!

If he wanted to kill two people at the same time, the bad luck talisman wouldn't be able to be in two places at once.

With this eerie wisp of smoke, Luo Wei now possessed a brand-new offensive method!

"From now on..." Luo Wei thought for a moment and gave the eerie wisp of smoke a name, "...you'll be called disease mist!"

disease mist wagged its tail, though it was unclear if it understood.

Since that was the case, Luo Wei decided to test it out.

He raised his left hand, "disease mist, come to my left hand!"

Before his voice could fade, disease mist let out a 'whoosh' and coiled around the fingers of Luo Wei's left hand.

Sure enough, this thing possessed life and a certain level of intelligence, capable of understanding commands!

Luo Wei was very satisfied with it and held it in his hand; it was like a little loach, darting in and out between his fingers.

This thing was like a little pet. Luo Wei grew to like it more and more, rewarding it with another drop of spirit liquid.

"Let me see your skills!"

"Go, kill that tree!"

Nearby was a lush maple tree, about as thick as a bowl.

Following Luo Wei's command, the virus did not fly directly toward the maple tree.

It peeled off a tiny sliver of smoke from its body, and that sliver burrowed into the trunk of the maple tree.

Very quickly, the lush maple tree's verdant leaves began to fall without warning.

In just a few short minutes, the maple tree that had been lush and leafy just moments ago became withered and bare!

disease mist was this powerful just by splitting off a sliver of smoke!

This eerie thing was simply too heaven-defying!

It truly was a good thing!

Luo Wei couldn't put it down!

He stored it into his inventory to prevent it from wandering off.

Just then, sirens blared in the distance!

It sounded like hundreds of police cars were driving toward a certain direction together.

Luo Wei looked toward the unfinished building; someone must have discovered the dead body in the unfinished residential area and called the police immediately.

Not long after, Xia Ningxue called.

After he picked up, the Police Beauty's excited voice came through the receiver!

"Luo Wei, we found that Wanted Criminal, he's already dead!"

"Really?" Luo Wei feigned a very surprised tone, "Did you guys shoot him?"

"No, no!" Xia Ningxue hurried to explain, "From the situation at the scene, it seems he had a conflict with someone else. They were double-crossing each other, leading to mutual destruction!"

"It's not convenient for me to reveal too many details, but in short, you can tell your friends and family to rest easy. No need to worry about that cannibalistic Wanted Criminal anymore!"

The Police Beauty was truly too enthusiastic. Faced with her repeated reminders, Luo Wei naturally agreed with a smile.

He shifted the topic at this point, "You were the one who discovered the Wanted Criminal; will you receive an award?"

"The higher-ups just praised me." Xia Ningxue's tone held a bit of happiness.

But soon, she explained dejectedly, "I was originally supposed to have a few days off soon."

"But with what just happened, I reckon my vacation is going down the drain!"

"Why?" Luo Wei didn't quite understand, "Isn't the Wanted Criminal dead?"

"The problem is..." Xia Ningxue explained with worry, "We have no idea when the Wanted Criminal entered Honghai City!"

"From this, we can infer that perhaps there are other criminals hiding within Honghai City."

"Next, the higher-ups will definitely launch a massive screening operation!"

Luo Wei could hear the frustration and exhaustion in the Police Beauty's voice.

He quickly made a decision, "What time do you get off work tonight? I'll go find you then."

"I, I don't know, I'm not sure..." Xia Ningxue was pleasantly surprised by this, but also very nervous.

"You have to sleep eventually. After you get off work, call me directly, and I'll head over to find you."

"Um..." At the sudden prospect of meeting, Xia Ningxue felt a little nervous in her heart, but also a bit of sweetness.

This feeling was like an impending date, "Then, I'll see you tonight..."

"See you tonight, bye!" Luo Wei hung up the phone cleanly and decisively.

It was thanks to Xia Ningxue that he obtained the disease mist this time.

Luo Wei naturally had to give that Police Beauty some rewards...
