From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 304 The Wolf King Appears

The [Dark Wolf King] class is extremely rare, so rare that in two lifetimes combined, I have only heard of one person with this class.

So I didn’t think about it in this direction at first.

[Dark Wolf King] can be said to be one of the rarest third-level job classes, and it is rumored that its combat power far exceeds that of ordinary third-level job classes.

If the betrayer's class is [Dark Wolf King], then many things will make sense.

The elven guards in the palace area of ​​Kolos City are very strong in combat. It is hard to say whether ordinary psychics can defeat them, let alone kill them silently.

The [Dark Wolf King] class just solves this problem.

Among the ten people investigated, no [Dark Werewolf] class was detected, causing the initial investigation to reach a dead end.

If we add the information about the third job level [Dark Wolf King], things will be different and the investigation ideas will become clear.

Chen Linian felt as if his head had been struck by lightning. His expression froze as he asked, "Dark Wolf King, third class?"

Lu Heng nodded: "Yes, the third job level."

Chen Linian's breathing began to get heavier. He quickly sorted out the clues in his head, and finally sorted out his thoughts:

"If that's the case... do you suspect Zhuo Hongjun or Chen Zihang?"

In fact, based on the family backgrounds of these two people, they can find someone to silence.

Although Chen Zihang has always been low-key, Lu Heng can actually see that his family background is not bad, but he just doesn't usually show it off.

Moreover, Chen Zihang's family background is inclined towards academics. He was admitted to a national defense university. He can reach a very high position based on his personal abilities and does not need his family to help him gild his reputation.

Zhuo Hongjun is different. He has poor personal abilities and can only rely on transfers and operations to accumulate qualifications and continue to be promoted.

Although Lu Heng is definitely not Chen Zihang subjectively, there is no actual evidence to rule out his suspicion.

In fact.

As long as the previous assumptions are correct, things will be simple.

There are only two suspected targets, and there is a 50% chance of selecting them even if you guess blindly with your eyes closed.

Check one of them first. If it’s not right, check the other one. There’s not much difference.

So Lu Heng said based on his personal intuition: "I am more suspicious of Zhuo Hongjun."

Chen Linian took a deep breath and asked, "Now there is one last question, if the class of [Dark Wolf King] does exist.

“Then this traitor used the power of the Dark Wolf King to kill the elven guards in the elven world.

"However, when we investigated, this person did not have the rank or essence of the [Dark Wolf King]. How do you explain that?"

This is precisely the difficulty of the second investigation, because without evidence and clues, we can only rely on analysis and inference.

Lu Heng pressed the ring on his index finger with his left thumb, turned it slowly, and replied: "He should have extracted the source essence."

There are few ways for psychics to extract source essence, but it is not completely impossible.

Chen Linian frowned and pondered. After a moment, he asked, "You mean, this person obtained the Dark Wolf King's Essence when he was in the Elf World, and used the Essence's ability to kill the Elf Guard. After returning, he extracted this Essence again. So when testing, there were only first- and second-turn job levels, but no third-turn job levels."

Lu Heng nodded and said, "Yes, this is the only possibility I can think of, but there is no evidence to prove this guess. Now what we have to do is to find evidence."

Based on his many years of experience in handling cases, Chen Linian felt that Lu Heng's inference was very bizarre, but it also explained all the doubts very well.

Everything is reasonable except there is no evidence.

Chen Linian had a feeling that they were getting closer and closer to the truth.

However, he thought of another serious matter.

Even if this reasoning is correct, there may not be evidence in the end.

because……

"If this person extracts the source of the [Dark Wolf King] and then destroys it, or gives it to other people to use, we may not be able to find any evidence at all." Chen Linian expressed his concerns.

Lu Heng took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Yes, this is what I am most worried about. If this person is cautious enough and gives up this class directly after extracting the source of the [Dark Wolf King], it will be difficult to find evidence even if we continue to investigate."

Lu Heng had just thought of this problem.

If this person were to extract the essence of the [Dark Wolf King] and destroy it directly, he would be able to hide successfully.

When Chen Linian was thinking about something, his fingers would always unconsciously make the gesture of holding a cigarette.

Every time he handled a case, without the smell of cigarettes to support him, he felt his brain freeze up and it became difficult for him to think about the problem.

Lu Heng pondered and continued, "However, I have a feeling that this person will not give up the [Dark Wolf King] class. If it were me, I probably wouldn't want to give up either."

The [Dark Wolf King] class is so rare that only one person has ever obtained it in two lifetimes.

This kind of job class only appears once among billions of people, and its combat power far exceeds that of ordinary third-level jobs. No one would want to give up.

In addition, Lu Heng thought of another key piece of information to support this idea.

"In fact, this act of silencing someone is one of the many mistakes this betrayer has made."

Chen Linian nodded in agreement: "Indeed, the more anxious this person is to silence someone, the more it shows that he is afraid of the truth being leaked. If he destroyed the Dark Wolf King's source essence, he wouldn't have to do so many things. He just needed to hide quietly. Now that so many things have happened, it has pulled our investigation back."

Lu Heng suggested: "Let's give it a try. Check Zhuo Hongjun again to see if he has the [Dark Wolf King] class."

Chen Linian thought for a moment and said, "We just finished the investigation not long ago. Now we are investigating him again. We may not be able to withstand the pressure from the family behind him."

Zhuo Hongjun has a powerful family background, so when we investigated him for the first time, we could say that he was just cooperating with the investigation.

If you check again and again, it won't be so smooth.

Lu Heng thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this. I'll find a way to find someone to check for information. If it confirms my idea, I can use coercive measures directly."

Chen Linian asked curiously, "What are you checking?"

Lu Heng did not answer. After leaving the hospital, he called the private number of Li Guining, a big shot in the Southern War Zone.

Li Guining was the highest-ranking person in the Southern War Zone, and Lu Heng had met him twice.

After the call was connected and a brief greeting, Lu Heng made a request, asking Li Guining to secretly check whether the military had ever obtained the [Dark Werewolf] source material.

Yes, the information Lu Heng wanted to find out was the [Dark Werewolf] source material.

The reason for checking this is very simple.

If the previous analysis is correct, then You Jinghan is the scapegoat of the person behind the scenes.

So the question is, where did You Jinghan's [Dark Werewolf] class come from?

The bloodline class of [Dark Werewolf] is very rare, and so many of them appear at once, including [Dark Wolf King] and [Dark Werewolf].

This looks very much like something man-made, and as long as it is man-made, it will inevitably leave traces.

Li Guining's position is high enough, so as long as he is willing to help investigate, it will definitely be found.

Two days later.

Lu Heng received a reply from Li Guining.

No information about the Dark Werewolf Essence was found, and the military had never obtained this Essence. If the military had obtained this Essence, it would definitely be recorded in the archives, and then distributed to the superpower warriors according to demand.

Therefore, there is no record, which means that the military has never obtained this source.

However, Li Guining gave another message.

Although the military has never obtained the [Dark Werewolf] essence, there is a superpower warrior in the Northwest War Zone's superpower unit who possesses the [Dark Werewolf] essence.

In addition, there is another key piece of information. This supernatural warrior who possesses the [Dark Werewolf] essence completed the demobilization procedures a week ago and has left the army.

Putting all the information together, Lu Heng had already formed a general outline of the whole incident in his mind.

However, we cannot alert the enemy now.

In order to avoid investigation, this person even went so far as to forcibly extract the source essence.

If he knew that he was about to be exposed, he would most likely choose to give up his rank.

Essence can be extracted, and job ranks can be abandoned.

That’s right, job ranks can be abandoned.

By giving up the original class, you can reabsorb the source essence and integrate the new class.

However, if you give up a class, you will lose all the abilities of the original class, and your level will drop significantly.

Therefore, generally speaking, psychics will not give up their original ranks, but if their lives and status are in danger, that is another matter.

In other words, if we alert the enemy now, if the traitor is ruthless, he may directly give up the third job level, integrate the new source essence, and submerge all the evidence under the rules, then all previous investigations will be in vain.

After Lu Heng and Chen Linian discussed it, they decided to conduct the next investigation in private without letting any third person know.

Of course, this does not include Lu Heng's team members.

Lu Heng asked Su Muyu to follow Zhuo Hongjun and investigate his every move.

After several days of tracking, Su Muyu discovered that Zhuo Hongjun would stay in a security company for four hours every afternoon.

She used the Chongming Bird to go in and investigate, and found that the security level was very high. There was a training room inside. Zhuo Hongjun would go into the training room for four hours every afternoon and basically would not come out during that time.

After hearing this information, Lu Heng guessed that Zhuo Hongjun should be training his professional abilities.

Getting a job rank doesn't mean you can fully master the abilities of that job rank. You still need to go through training, become familiar with the techniques of using the abilities, and form muscle memory.

……

At the end of February of the second year of the Abyss Era, in a secret training room of the Capital Tonghe Security Company.

Zhuo Hongjun came here to train as usual, but not long after training, he suddenly found that there was one more person in the training room.

"Why are you here?" He frowned, his eyes full of vigilance.

"What should we do when we see Shangguan, Deputy Captain Zhuo?" Lu Heng reached out and picked up the training equipment on the shelf and weighed it in his hand.

Zhuo Hongjun's eyes darkened and he snorted, "What on earth do you want to do?"

Lu Heng put the dumbbells back on the rack and said in a leisurely tone, "Come and see your third job level. If I'm not mistaken, the Moon Well water that Guard Wu handed in should be given to you, right?"

Zhuo Hongjun narrowed his eyes slightly, and a confident smile appeared on his face: "I advise you not to look at it, you may not be my opponent now."

Hearing his confident words, Lu Heng felt even more interested: "It seems that the divine effect of the Moon Well water has given you a lot of confidence."

Zhuo Hongjun curled his lips, revealing a proud expression that had been suppressed for a long time: "Outside, I call you the captain, that is to maintain due respect. Don't take yourself too seriously. If I use all my strength now, I might be able to kill you in one slap!"

Lu Heng became even more curious: "Really? Do you want to give it a try?"

Zhuo Hongjun's eyes darkened, and he didn't respond: "I don't have time to waste with you."

He said this and turned to walk out.

Lu Heng raised a smile and said, "I'm curious, if I asked you to give up the Dark Wolf King class now, would you be willing to do so?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhuo Hongjun's steps froze instantly.

Lu Heng saw his frozen footsteps and knew that all his previous inferences were correct.

Zhuo Hongjun's body froze there for a long time without moving, because he was stuck in a difficult decision.

Lu Heng mentioned the class of [Dark Wolf King], which meant that his secret was exposed.

If he wants to keep this secret, he only has two choices: kill Lu Heng or kill everyone who knows this secret.

Or, go back now, give up the [Dark Wolf King] class, switch to a third-level class, and cover up all the secrets.

But what's the difference between asking him to give up this rank and asking for his life?
He did merge the [Dark Wolf King] class, which was not the third-level class arranged for him by the family.

The third job rank arranged for him by his family was [Guardian Knight], but he was very dissatisfied with this rank, so he reabsorbed the [Dark Wolf King] essence and used the Moon Well spring water to completely integrate the rank.

Therefore, his current third-level job rank is not only the [Dark Wolf King], but also the [Dark Wolf King] with a deified effect. His combat power can be said to be unique among the third-level jobs.

If he were to give up this job rank now, it would not just be a simple matter of giving up a third-level job rank.

The Moon Well spring water has been used up. Now I am changing to the third job level. The new job level will no longer have the mythical effect.

Not only that, the source energy level will also drop significantly.

His current source energy level is level 39. Once he gives up the third job transfer, his level will drop back to level 30, or even level 29.

In this way, he would have to transform from a top psychic to a little Karami.

This was something he absolutely could not accept.

However, if he does not give up the [Dark Wolf King], once this secret is exposed, he will not be able to explain the origin of this class.

If he were an ordinary psychic, he would simply flee abroad, and once he became a top warrior with unparalleled combat power, no one would be able to do anything to him.

However, he couldn't just leave. His family background, his status, everything he had was tied to the Daxia military.

He turned around, stared at Lu Heng with a cold gaze, and asked, "Who else knows this secret?"

Lu Heng smiled and said, "Do you admit it? So, you gave You Jinghan the [Dark Werewolf] class because you wanted him to be your scapegoat."

Zhuo Hongjun did not respond, but threatened: "Do you know what you are challenging? I have been giving in to you because I want to maintain our dignity. Otherwise, I will crush you to death as easily as crushing an ant!"

What he meant by "pinching to death" was not "pinching" in the physical sense, but the fact that his family was so powerful that there were countless ways to kill a mutant with no background.

"Really? If the power behind you is really that strong, why bother looking for a scapegoat? You even have to endure severe pain to extract the source essence. The moment the source essence is extracted, you must want to die, right?" Lu Heng knew that his family background was powerful, but not so powerful that he could challenge the law.

Zhuo Hongjun's eyes were full of anger because Lu Heng talked about the thing he hated the most.

Psychics do have a way to extract the source essence, but the process is extremely painful, equivalent to peeling off a layer of skin.

After his family knew that Ironblood was investigating the betrayal incident, they hired someone to extract the [Dark Wolf King] essence from him in order to hide it.

When he recalled that process, his fingers were shaking.

If Lu Heng hadn't insisted on investigating the matter, he wouldn't have to endure this pain.

Therefore, his eyes were full of hatred.
