Feng Jianhua said: "We are investigating the ghost market here, and it involves a person surnamed Du related to the Bone Centipede."

"See if your colleague is there, and if so, are there any other people with the same surname in the team?"

Guan Ya said: "Ghost market?! Good, I am in a different project from them, but involving this kind of thing, applying to consult about their recent situation shouldn't be difficult."

After the phone hung up, Feng Jianhua waited a while.

Seeing Chu Tianshu walked over, took a photo of the insect that jumped out of Wang Bo's body, and then stomped it to death.

Yuan Chongxiao called Seeing Chu Tianshu to continue the interrogation.

Seeing Chu Tianshu said: "Still asking?"

"Try asking some less important questions; it might be enlightening to us."

Yuan Chongxiao said, "If you maintain this spell, will it have an effect if I do the asking?"

Seeing Chu Tianshu nodded: "It can."

When Yuan Chongxiao asked this time, he was careful and measured, asking about the surface identities of these people.

The scale of the procurement department personnel, the general scale of the ghost market dealer personnel, which regions they are generally active in...

Qi Lianyong was typing and recording on the side.

A large number of questions, some of which touched on topics that could not be touched, caused the centipedes to break out of the body.

Seeing Chu Tianshu pinched the seal with his hands, and his other hand flicked a silver needle, stomping to death with his feet, familiar with the road.

It's a pity that these centipedes clearly have a significant impact on their hosts.

But from the perspective of evil spirit materials, the volume is not large.

Truly a strange species, it seems that only when staying with the parasitized person can they produce a wonderful reaction and show effectiveness far exceeding their own volume.

Perhaps, this is also the result of the Chang'an research project team carefully modifying genes and trying to domesticate them.

Ensuring that these insects are weak enough in their normal state, and effective enough after entering the body.

However, even after making so many efforts, the potential risk of this project is still too great.

Yuan Chongxiao asked and asked, and asked several captives to death, leaving only the last one.

He used all the safety questions he had gathered from the previous people on this last captive again.

He left the answers of several people for comparison, and then tried to ask something new.

Seeing Chu Tianshu was not very interested in the identity information and the like.

Those records must be submitted to the provincial department, asking their professionals to come out and help screen the interpersonal relationships of these criminals to see if there are any clues.

There was another point that Seeing Chu Tianshu was more concerned about.

According to the answers of these people, they had already taken the Gu insect from the moment they joined the ghost market.

Engaging in this kind of dangerous industry, and getting enough benefits, these people were also prepared to pay the price early on.

Moreover, with the Gu insect, it guaranteed that colleagues would not betray, and they even felt a bit more at ease.

But the previous Gu insects, besides ensuring they wouldn't reveal important information, basically had no other effects.

Only need to take the antidote regularly, and it wouldn't break out.

And the Gu insects on their bodies now were new products replaced in the first half of this year.

Besides having the effects of the old Gu insects, the new products could also dig into their potential.

Those responsible for operating the equipment felt their thinking was more active and energetic, and those who often had to go out for field work also felt they were more sensitive.

All practitioners, whether practicing force, internal energy, or spirit communication, reported that they had received benefits.

"The so-called more active thinking is that as a procurement department supervisor, because a business was disrupted, he rushed directly to the Golden Blade Martial Arts School?"

Yuan Chongxiao also asked this point, "Was he this... brave before?"

"Or is there some change recently?"

The captive answered slowly.

Wang Bo had unexpected moves before, which is why he became a procurement supervisor at this age.

But before, those moves of his were all successful, and looking back, they seemed to be handled properly.

Recently, if there is any change, the most obvious is that everyone seems to be more afraid of him.

Before, subordinates also had some awe of Wang Bo, but it didn't reach the point of being expressed all the time at work.

But recently, it seems that because of a look with Wang Bo, an accidental encounter at a corner, they would inexplicably become afraid, hurriedly lowering their heads, wanting to show submission.

Yuan Chongxiao asked: "How recent is recent?"

The captive said slowly: "It seems to be... after the snow."

The people in the room changed their expressions slightly, all having associations.

"Didn't you say before that this kind of centipede is easily interfered with by the breath of ghosts and gods?"

Yuan Chongxiao pondered, "Heaven has celestial phenomena, earth has earthly signs; the climate of various places, if adapted by itself in long evolution, whether cold or warm, it doesn't matter."

"But if the climate of a certain place is abruptly abnormal, according to ancient records, it may make some ghosts and gods in the Spirit Realm more easily sense reality."

A thread seems to be very clear.

The dealer of the ghost market came into contact with the holder of the Bone Centipede-related technology.

They might not know the hidden dangers of the Bone Centipede, or they thought that after refining it into a Gu, they didn't need to worry.

Because they coveted the benefits after the centipede parasitized, they replaced the previous Gu insects with Bone Centipedes.

In the first half of the year, the parasites did get benefits, and no problems appeared.

But when the cold disaster came, there were influences in all aspects.

Transportation obstruction caused by the cold disaster...

Ghost and god sensing coming with the cold disaster...

The ghost market dealer can be said to be covered in bad luck recently.

But Yuan Chongxiao's face was very ugly.

"If this ghost market were destroyed by the ghosts and gods of the Spirit Realm, that would be fine; now it seems that it is a group of originally hidden poisonous snakes that may be catalyzed into out-of-control thugs."

If it was a pile of blood-sucking vines before, now it may become a pile of large gunpowder barrels.

Seeing Chu Tianshu couldn't help but scratch his cheek, feeling his tooth roots a bit itchy.

"This bunch of evil-doing and death-seeking things, even if they have bad luck themselves, may implicate more people... sigh!"

He changed his breath to relieve his mood.

Forget it, forget it, there are so many shitty things in this world.

Just like the lesions hidden in the human body, they might not be seen at ordinary times, but once they are understood, they make people unable to help but have their emotions rise.

But losing one's temper in the void is useless; if there is a chance to meet, think of a way to see if... kill them all!!

Feng Jianhua had already received a reply.

"In that project team, there are only two people surnamed Du; after the project was stopped, one of them has joined another project and is now still at the Chang'an Academy of Technology."

"The other one is named Du Chen, who is the person who hosted the centipede project, and applied to return to his hometown to recuperate."

Feng Jianhua said, "Over in Chang'an, they notified the people of the Jianghuai department to visit nearby, and the message replied that Du Chen is not at home."

"Mobile phone contact is also vague, hanging up in seconds, not giving a chance to locate."

It seems it can be determined that this Du Chen has a problem.

Qi Lianyong said dissatisfiedly: "For such a dangerous person, he was actually allowed to return to his hometown casually, and there was no follow-up supervision?!"

"What is a dangerous person?"

Yuan Chongxiao shook his head at this time, "He didn't show any signs when he was working over there before."

"You can't just say someone is a dangerous person because they have ability; there are too many people in the world who need to be monitored."

Feng Jianhua said: "Although he is the host of the project, leaving the Academy of Technology, he is not allowed to carry any seed sources, and he doesn't have the equipment of the Chang'an laboratory."

"Information on entering and leaving various provinces and cities will be focused on, but he directly hooked up with the ghost market; no one could have expected this."

The information obtained from the interrogation and contact just now was quite complicated.

Although there was a thread and the danger was estimated, and vigilance was raised, the specific whereabouts of the culprit could not be found.

Seeing Chu Tianshu's killing intent was aroused, and he could barely hold it back.

Qi Lianyong and others basically hung their irritability and distress on their faces.

Feng Jianhua's tone at this time became more and more composed, his old age gone, and he was full of spirit.

"Chang'an will try its best to spare manpower to pay attention to this side, and our local Special Capture Division in Jianghuai will go all out to investigate the ghost market after receiving the information."

"Except for Mr. Chu, we are all members of the Metaphysics Association; before the Special Capture Division was established, we were the ones guarding this territory."

"Holding a three-foot sword, guarding seven feet of soil, for name and for money, it is also because this is the place where we live."

Feng Jianhua smiled, "The ghost market hides deep, like a poisonous snake, but aren't we the local snakes?"

"Everyone, don't hide anything; use all the relationships you can use."

The teachers present were either the ones who said they would find clues to the ghost market and immediately disguised themselves to participate in the action.

Or they were people like Qi Lianyong, who once supported a sect alone and opened his own martial arts gym.

Even Yuan Zhonglu was about ten years older than Seeing Chu Tianshu.

When these people were young and in their prime, the country hadn't banned guns yet.

That kind of strong territorial consciousness was much more obvious than that of the teenagers later.

"Good, then let's fight them."

Qi Lianyong responded, "This time we can go all out with the Jianghuai Special Capture Division, open, dark, all of them!"

"Could it be that this way, it's not as deep as a ghost market operating in our hometown?"

Everyone was moved, aroused their fighting spirit, and left one after another.

Some didn't go too far, just seemed to be looking for another place to make a phone call.

Some ran directly toward the school gate, seeming to want to go out to handle affairs.

Seeing Chu Tianshu looked at those middle-aged men and women.

The vitality they emerged with seemed to have returned to a different era.

Not as stable as the growth environment of Seeing Chu Tianshu's generation, more restless, and more wild and straightforward.

"The principal is amazing."

Seeing Chu Tianshu muttered, "A few words swept away everyone's pressure and annoyance just now; no wonder you can be the principal."

He suddenly came back to his senses.

"But, the ghost market incident is very dangerous; the people those teachers are looking for?"

Yuan Chongxiao laughed loudly: "Everyone is an adult, has their own thinking; those who are unwilling to go will naturally refuse."

Feng Jianhua looked at Seeing Chu Tianshu: "There will be those who are unwilling, and of course there will be those who are willing, whether for bonuses, for our martial arts school's promises, or for something else."

"And as long as they act, there will be risks."

"However, Little Chu, such a big event is destined to have people fall into danger; everyone is not an animated cat that can't be blown up or hacked to death, nor is there an omniscient and invincible savior."

"It is because we are unwilling to have more sacrifices that we are not afraid of sacrifice."

This is a kind of cruel reality.

But it is also because of the cruel reality that people's complex courage and tenacity are repeatedly displayed.

Seeing Chu Tianshu looked at the people walking away in the wind and snow, speechless for a moment.

The computer teacher said: "But among the relationships everyone is looking for, what if there are also dark stakes of the ghost market..."

"The procurement supervisor is already dead here, what else is there to fear about alerting the enemy? I only worry that they won't be startled out."

Seeing Chu Tianshu took the conversation, turning to say, "Principal, I want to understand internal energy more carefully; can I borrow an internal energy secret manual?"
