Chapter 150

Su Jinlong stood where he was, his gaze as calm as an ancient well.

Zhang Miao's expression, however, was not calm; her gaze was fixed on the nearby cement ground, where a circle had been drawn with chalk.

Nearby, they were preparing to take action; several Night Watchers joined forces, preparing to gouge this piece of cement directly out of the ground.

"Teacher, it can basically be confirmed that Ma Zhen is inside here."

Hearing this, everyone took a deep breath and each took a step back.

Underground!

This piece of cement didn't even have a single crack; he had been dragged in by the spirit Boatman just like that? Su Jinlong put down his thermos, rarely took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath.

He spat out two words faintly: "Dig!"

Receiving the order.

Everyone began to take action; joining forces, they dragged this piece of cement into the Ghost Energy field they had set up, and then cut it out.

Then they fished it up.

A large piece of giant cement was dragged out; it was completely opaque, and one couldn't see what was hidden in the middle.

They only knew that as this piece of cement was dragged out, a large amount of transparent liquid and a foul stench flowed out, enveloping the air.

Su Jinlong, with the cigarette in his mouth, stood below: "How was it discovered?"

Zhang Miao took out a box and said frankly: "It was these eyes; they guided me."

Su Jinlong looked down at the pure gold iron box, inside which two eyeballs were lying quietly.

The eyeballs seemed to have discovered Su Jinlong's gaze, actually rolling around to focus their pupils on him.

"Demon Bear has helped us again..."

After muttering a sentence, he didn't say anything more, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and gently crushed it with his foot.

Taking a deep breath, he spread his hands.

Everyone hurriedly stepped back, and they saw Su Jinlong's shadow begin to separate from under his feet, then drill into the shadow of the cement block in front of them.

Immediately after, the shadow carried something out from inside, and a black object was also dragged out from the cement block in front of them.

Everyone stepped aside, and Zhang Miao and another Night Watcher placed a special box here.

Until Su Jinlong put this black object inside, the pure black exterior disappeared.

Everyone saw what was inside clearly.

Ma Zhen!

At this moment, he was in a kneeling position, his hands spread wide, his head held high with a vacant gaze; his skin had rotted, especially one leg, which had almost no flesh left.

His stomach, however, was very large, and there was a hole in the middle, dripping water.

"Hiss—" Seeing this scene, everyone gasped.

Ma Zhen was truly miserable; the skin all over his body had been torn apart by the Demon Bear, and the organs inside his body had been ruptured by the "Boatman."

He had thought that being sent out by Su Jinlong would allow him to escape, but he hadn't expected to be so lucky as to encounter the Boatman.

He died very miserably.

Su Jinlong checked the situation and said: "Send the body back; I will arrange for people from Jingdu to pick it up. For the next period, we will have to work a bit harder. Ma Zhen is dead, and his two ghosts have likely revived. Coupled with the Boatman and others, H City still needs strict control for a while."

"Also!"

Speaking of this, Su Jinlong was silent for a moment and looked at Zhang Miao: "You guys rest for a while and go exchange intelligence; someone from the Ma Family will likely come down this time."

Inside the Mall Haunted Domain, what happened between Ma Zhen and them had all been recorded by the communicator.

They hadn't been wrong, but everyone knew the Ma Family was a group of lunatics.

Better safe than sorry; he was afraid they would blame this incident on Zhang Miao and the others.

Zhang Miao frowned: "Teacher, why should we be afraid of the Ma Family? We work for the official authorities; I don't believe they dare to mess around!" Su Jinlong waved his hand: "The Ma Family is a group of lunatics; you haven't seen them. This time Ma Zhen died here, and they absolutely won't let it go."

"No matter what, you must withdraw; that group of lunatics won't follow the rules at all."

Zhang Miao pursed her lips and didn't say anything more.

After all, Ma Zhen had already done something out of line inside the Haunted Domain.

It's just that she didn't know why the higher-ups would let them come for such a dangerous mission and let them become Night Watchers.

Such dangerous elements shouldn't become Night Watchers.

Not dying at the hands of a spirit, but dying at the hands of one's own people—this is a disgrace.

Su Jinlong stared at Ma Zhen in the cabinet; his expression didn't change, but his eyes were exceptionally complex; no one knew what he was actually thinking.

The Death Peach Vine was dead, and Ma Zhen was also dead!

This seemed to be killing two birds with one stone for some people.

It's just that, I'm afraid H City will be even less peaceful in the coming period.

No one knows what kind of extreme actions the lunatics of the Ma Family will take toward H City.

At this critical juncture of revival, no one dares to take the risk to deal with them.

Carrying Ma Zhen's body, Su Jinlong returned to the laboratory.

"Demon Bear, I really don't know how to report your situation; are you trying to help us, or are you farming us?"

Inside the laboratory, Dr. Xiao was studying several ordinary people.

They were lying naked on cold beds, and Dr. Xiao was holding a special instrument, plucking off the mushroom-like eyeballs one by one.

Then he quickly applied a certain substance to inhibit the growth of the Wasteland Eyes.

"Ma Zhen is dead," Su Jinlong said faintly, standing outside.

Dr. Xiao didn't seem to hear him and continued his work.

Su Jinlong said again: "People from the Ma Family will soon come to H City."

Only after hearing this did Dr. Xiao stand up and put the eyeballs and instrument in his hand aside.

He took off his gloves, revealing his hands; his hands were fair and rosy, and the blood vessels on them were exceptionally clear; one could even see the traces of crimson blood flowing through them.

"The Wasteland Eye has already upgraded; it can absorb other people's fear in nightmares."

"Once planted to a certain extent, this person will become a machine that produces fear, infinitely providing fear food for the Demon Bear."

Su Jinlong didn't reply, just stared at him, not quite understanding what Dr. Xiao was talking about.

In his view, Dr. Xiao also stood behind a force.

And this force was no weaker than the Ma Family, but their beliefs were somewhat different.

Compared to the madness of the Ma Family, Dr. Xiao and his group were more like a kind of perverted purity.

One was red, and the other was a gray without any rules, wandering between the two worlds.

"Do you know why Ma Zhen came here?"

Dr. Xiao stared at him, pushed up his rimless glasses, and appeared somewhat scholarly.

Su Jinlong frowned and said tentatively: "Demon Bear?"

The latter smiled upon hearing this: "Every rotating era needs blood to be baptized; the Demon Bear seems to coincide with some kind of philosophy of theirs. This time, they have come, and I'm afraid they won't leave without catching the Demon Bear."

Seeing him smile like this, Su Jinlong suddenly said:

"Then what about you? What is your philosophy?"
