Douluo: I have too many clones

Chapter 475: Oxer Incident in Tiandou City

Tiandou City, in the police station of the Tiandou Guard.

The chief of the Tiandou City Security Force, a Soul Douluo with a cultivation level of 85, was sitting in the conference room somewhat awkwardly.

After years of development, some important positions in Tiandou City have been basically monopolized by the big families here.

As the director of the Tiandou Security Force, Xu Jiawei himself holds a high position. He is also the patriarch of the Xu family, a large family in Tiandou City.

But at this moment, this big shot who can call the wind and rain in Tiandou City is sitting in the conference room like a student, feeling a little uneasy.

Xu Jiawei couldn't help but be nervous, mainly because the middle-aged man with ordinary looks sitting in the main seat in the conference room brought too much pressure on him.

Even though the other party did nothing, Xu Jiawei felt an inexplicable pressure coming. After all, who wouldn't be nervous when facing an Extreme Douluo, not to mention that the other party was from the War God Temple.

At this moment, the door of the conference room suddenly opened, and a woman who looked to be in her forties, but tall and even burly, walked in.

As soon as she entered the room, the woman did not look at Xu Jiawei, but saluted the middle-aged man above the conference room and said, "Deputy Palace Master Guan Yue, we have found some clues about what you mentioned before."

Guan Yue said calmly: "Have you figured out their base?"

The woman said, "Yes, it was found by Duanmu Yan, who became a reserve war god not long ago."

"Oh." Guan Yue said with some interest: "The little guy named Duanmu Yan? I have some impression of him. He is the young man regarded as the successor by Ao Rui. Mengshan, do you think he discovered the clues?"

Ao Rui, the first war god of the War God Temple. Level 98 Super Douluo, title: Haori. His martial soul is the sun, which is the predecessor of the Federation and the inherited martial soul of the Sun-Moon Empire. This kind of martial soul has always been the top martial soul.

The Seventh War God Shi Mengshan said calmly: "Yes, his senses are very sharp. He can always find things that we don't notice. I even think that his insight is stronger than many investigators."

"When we were investigating the traces of the Oxers in Tiandou City, he was always able to find their traces through some clues. Even before this trip, the second god of war: Long Tianwu wanted to lead the team. But in the end, the hall master chose me to lead the team."

Guan Yue laughed dumbly, "Why is Long Tianwu here to join in the fun?"

Long Tianwu, the second God of War in the Temple of War. A Level 98 Titled Douluo, titled: Emperor Sword. His martial spirit is a sword.

Shi Mengshan's expression remained calm. "It's probably because of that person called Shenwei Kamui. After all, Ao Rui seems to be interested in taking Duanmu Yan as his apprentice, and Long Tianwu is optimistic about Shenwei Kamui."

"Shenwei Kamui." Guan Yue murmured, recalling the other party's message in his mind.

Shenwei Kamui, level 75 Soul Saint, two-character battle armor master. Graduated from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, mutant martial soul: Thunder Claw Dragon. One of the elites that emerged in the War God Temple in recent years, and together with Duanmu Yan, he is known as the twin stars of the War God Temple.

Of course, there was another reason why Guan Yue noticed him. That was that Shenwei and Lufa were members of the same team, and they even grew up together in the same orphanage.

Guan Yue had already determined that Lu Fa could be forged by Heaven. In his opinion, Lu Fa's current cultivation was just not good enough. When he reached the Titled Douluo level, he would be able to become a Divine Craftsman.

Even with his outstanding cultivation talent, it is probably only a matter of time before he becomes a Super Douluo or even an Ultimate Douluo.

However, a super Douluo or even Ultimate Douluo-level craftsman has never appeared in the history of the blacksmith world, coupled with the other party's work, the magical Tianduan white goose.

Guan Yue believed that it was only a matter of time before Lu Fa surpassed Zhen Hua. Guan Yue had naturally read about Lu Fa's background a long time ago. His background was clean and his attitude was obviously close to the Federation.

This is what Guan Yue values. With this relationship, perhaps in the future, their War God Temple will have priority in acquiring the qualifications for the four-character battle armor.

After all, the works of the God Craftsmen were previously monopolized by the four major forces. Now that Shrek Academy was destroyed and the Tang Sect was in decline, the only thing that could compete with the War God Temple was the growing Spirit Pagoda.

However, looking at Lufa's attitude and the power of God, perhaps in the future their Temple of the God of War will be able to give priority to equipping the four-character battle armor.

However, these things can be discussed later. The most urgent task is to solve those Oxer issues first.

Thinking of this, Guan Yue turned his gaze to Xu Jiawei and said, "Director Xu, please tell me about the population that has disappeared and returned in the past six months."

"Yes." Xu Jiawei took a deep breath and said, "In the past six months, there have been cases of civilians disappearing from time to time in our Tiandou City, and then suddenly returning."

"At first, we didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing, because most of the missing people were just small-time hooligans. And they were only missing for two or three days, so they might just stay out all night. Anyway, they came back later, so we hastily closed the case."

"However, it wasn't until the Oxer attack three months ago that we realized something was wrong." At this point, Xu Jiawei's tone began to become low.

Guan Yue and Shi Mengshan also started to take it seriously. After all, although they knew something about the matter, they had only glanced over the files.

"Since the destruction of Shrek Academy, Oxer's figures have appeared from time to time in various parts of the Federation. They are like robbers, attacking banks in various parts of the Federation, or attacking ordinary civilians, etc."

"Among them, the most incidents occurred in our Tiandou City. Frankly speaking, I am skeptical about the fact that Oxer was transformed from an ordinary person."

"But three months ago, during the attack on the armory in Tiandou City, we killed and captured several Oxers, and then we realized something was wrong."

"After we killed those Oksers, they quickly turned back into human form. And those Oksers that we captured and knocked unconscious also turned back into human form afterwards."

"It was then that I began to believe that those Oxers might have been transformed from ordinary people. But!" Having said that, Xu Jiawei took a deep breath.

"After a series of instrument analyses and searching the database, we came to a surprising conclusion. Those who became Oxers are actually soul masters. Although their soul power is very low, they are indeed soul masters." "However, according to the information displayed in the database, when those people awakened their martial souls, their innate soul power should have been zero."

"What!" Hearing this, Shi Mengshan raised her eyebrows and said, "Could it be that the people in Tiandou City made a mistake in awakening people's soul power?"

"This..." Xu Jiawei was speechless for a moment.

"Okay, Mengshan." At this time, Guan Yue interrupted Shi Mengshan and said, "Director Xu, please continue."

"Okay." Xu Jiawei smiled bitterly. "One person might make a mistake, but a group of people can't make a mistake, right? After all, the Federation takes the awakening of martial spirits very seriously. Even if we have the courage, we would never dare to be careless about such a thing."

"Not to mention, the Oksers we killed and captured were of different ages. Even if something went wrong when awakening their soul power one year, it shouldn't happen every year."

"After realizing something was wrong, we immediately interrogated those who had turned into Oxers. What was the result? No matter how we interrogated them, they acted as if they knew nothing. They even acted as if they didn't know that they were Oxers."

"But what is incredible is that both the instruments and the martial spirit hypnosis tests have shown that those people are not lying. But many of them were captured by me personally, so it is impossible for me to be wrong."

"I felt that something was wrong, so I immediately reported the matter to the Federation, and then His Majesty Shi Mengshan came with his men."

Shi Mengshan nodded and said, "After arriving here, I immediately interrogated those Oxers, but the results showed that they really seemed to know nothing and looked like ordinary people."

"After that, I led the team to check the files to see if there were any clues. But we couldn't find anything until later when our team's Duanmu Yan discovered that those who turned into Oxers were all reported missing in Tiandou City."

"After we had this breakthrough, we started to check the identity files of those Oxers. We found that some of them had either been reported missing or had disappeared for two or three days inexplicably and then came back."

"So, Duanmu Yan from our team speculated that maybe those missing people have all turned into Oxers. It's just that due to some special reasons, they have not been exposed for the time being."

"Hiss—" Xu Jiawei took a breath and said, "Your Majesty, isn't this a bit of an exaggeration? Maybe it's just a coincidence?"

You know, there are nearly 500 people who have disappeared and returned in the past six months, with an average of more than two people missing every day. If all of them are Oxers, then it would be a big deal.

Apart from anything else, their security team cannot escape the crime of dereliction of duty.

Shi Mengshan glanced at him and said, "Do you dare to bet that they don't have any problems?"

Xu Jiawei smiled brightly.

"Okay." At this time, Guan Yue said, "Director Xu, you should go back and reorganize the security team first. We may need your help later. Meng Shan and I also have some personal matters to discuss."

"Yes." Xu Jiawei saluted and then left the meeting room respectfully.

With Xu Jiawei's departure, the entire conference room fell into silence again.

Guan Yue looked at Shi Mengshan who was hesitant to speak, and said lightly: "Just say whatever you want to say. There are no outsiders here."

Shi Mengshan took a deep breath and asked, "Deputy Palace Master, were those Oxers really ordinary people without innate soul power?"

“Alas, it seems that you have noticed this too!” Guan Yue sighed, and then said with a serious expression: “Yes, they were all ordinary people without innate soul power, but after becoming Oxer, they possessed innate soul power.”

"Is that really the case?" Although she had guessed it before, Shi Mengshan still couldn't help being a little surprised when she heard this from Guan Yue.

Guan Yue continued, "In fact, the Federation's research on Oxer began as early as the moment they appeared half a year ago."

"At the time, the Federation thought that this was an invasion by a race from another dimension, so they ordered the entire War God Temple to be on high alert. Even the Temple Master went out in person to find out the origins of those Oxers."

"But when we captured several Oxers alive, we found that things were a little different from what we imagined. After we killed those Oxers, their bodies suddenly turned into ordinary people."

"At that time, the Palace Master and I agreed that this was a trick played by those evil soul masters. But it seemed different, because those who turned into Oxers turned into ordinary people again after being knocked unconscious by us."

"During the subsequent investigation, each of them was extremely clear-headed and able to go about their daily lives normally. During the interrogation, they were clueless. It was as if they had no memory of what they had done."

"After personal inspection by the Palace Master and I, we discovered some characteristics of these Oxers."

"First, they were all ordinary people originally, but deep in their brains, there was a strange creature parasitizing them. It looked like a bug, and that bug was the key to their transformation into Oxer."

"Secondly, after they become Oxers, through their constant evil deeds, the emotions in their bodies seem to stimulate those bugs and accelerate their growth. When the emotions reach a certain level, they become Oxers."

"Afterwards, the insects will feed them some innate soul power, allowing them to have the possibility of cultivation."

"Third, the bugs are closely connected to their brains and martial spirits, forming a symbiotic relationship, which makes it difficult to remove them. The Palace Master and I once captured a Soul Emperor-level Oxer, which is also the highest-level Oxer we have encountered so far."

"After investigation, we found that he was originally an old soul king with average talent and almost no room for improvement. After he was able to transform into Oxer, his martial soul evolved, allowing his cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds, but he was also devoured by the power and committed many evil deeds."

"After the inspection by the Palace Master and I, we found that the stronger the Oxer, the higher the degree of fusion between the bugs in their bodies and them. At the Soul King level, the bugs have already begun to fuse with the martial spirit."

"The Palace Master and I speculated that if we wait until we reach Soul Saint, we will probably be able to merge with our Martial Soul."
