Life Dungeon Game

However, there was someone who was faster than that dark figure.

A flash of red sword light streaked past.

Before Jon could react, bright red blood splattered all over his face.

He froze on the spot, his mind blank.

He Ao had already stepped forward and was using his sword to turn over the corpse of the dark figure.

This is a humanoid monster with tattered clothes and a bright red body; its corpse is rapidly decaying.

The light from the bracelet shone on the monster's remaining face, and it overlapped with a figure from He Ao's memory.

The owner of the craft shop that sold the old sword to Nell.

Soon, the corpse completely decayed, leaving only specks of red light that seeped into He'ao's sword.

These claws and teeth were all made from 'humans'.

He looked at the unconscious people on the ground.

The monster that knocked on the door in the hallway seemed to have obtained items related to gods from the craft shop owner.

After it fell into monster form, it reclaimed the craft shop, kidnapped the owner, and stole the remaining items that were associated with the gods.

This is also why the craft shop closed down.

However, when He Ao went there today, the goods in the store were arranged very neatly, and the door was locked very well.

If a fight breaks out in the store and merchandise is stolen, it will definitely be in chaos, and the owner won't be in the mood to lock the door while being chased.

Unless someone returned to the craft shop after the owner was kidnapped and the goods were looted, tidied up the goods, and locked the door to reduce the possibility of the shop being suspected.

Then the boss's murder was not revenge by the mad monster, but a planned 'silencing'.

Although this monster possesses some rationality, it is not complete and lacks any clear logic.

It might not necessarily think of 'revenge'.

Unless someone guides its thinking.

He Ao shifted his gaze to the items that had been cut open.

The monster extracted the power associated with the gods and injected it into the craft shop owner's body. After the gods devoured the owner's soul, they turned his body into 'minions'.

Those who are still alive are probably also materials for making 'lackeys'.

The soul dissipates immediately after death. To ensure that the gods receive the most complete soul, these people must live and be bound by nightmares.

This complex operation may not have been figured out by the monster itself; there may be traces of 'guidance' involved.

Actually, He Ao only came in to see if the monster was hiding any dangerous contaminants, but he didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain.

Although the person behind the scenes silenced the boss, He Ao also obtained some information about the person behind the scenes, such as the ability to 'guide' the monster's thinking.

Moreover, if a chess piece is being used perfectly well and then suddenly needs to be eliminated, there are only two possibilities: one is that it has been exposed and has to be eliminated, and the other is that the plan is about to be completed and the chess piece is no longer useful and needs to be disposed of.

Judging from the astonished expressions of the FBI agents when they saw the mad monster, Heo was more inclined to believe the second explanation.

These people's plan has reached its final stage, so some are on the fringes.

The chess piece is no longer useful and can be disposed of.

He cleaved the remaining intact object in two with a single sword strike, absorbing all the power within into his sword.

Then he activated his super memory and looked at the people sleeping on the ground.

As he had predicted, the phantoms of these people's souls were covered with a distorted red light.

He observed these red lights carefully. They seemed to come directly from the gods. Twisted whispers seeped into the minds of these people, pulling them into a nightmare.

He Ao tried it out, concentrating his energy and using the power of his super memory to try again and again, and finally shattered the red light.

The furrowed brows of those who were asleep slowly relaxed.

He Ao shut down his hyper-memory, which made the nightmares easier to dispel, but the pollution that had seeped into his soul was not so easy to deal with.

However, this is no longer He Ao's concern.

By shattering these red lights, He Ao gained a further grasp of his ability to interfere with the soul through extrasensory perception, and his proficiency continued to increase.

At first, he could only use this ability to directly strike the other person's soul, causing them to freeze briefly and creating a mental interference effect.

Later, he could use this ability to drive away the vengeful spirits that were attached to Liu Nan.

He can now use this ability to shatter the interference of weakened divine power.

His movements became increasingly subtle.

He felt that he was almost completely in control of the power of D-level hypermemory.

Hyperthymes hasn't been promoted in far too long.

"Quick, the bloodstains extend all the way inside."

Just then, some lights seemed to appear in the distance.

The voice that was speaking belonged to one of the FBI agents who had just surrounded Heo.

"coming."

He turned off the flashlight on his wristband, grabbed the still somewhat dazed Jon, jumped onto the wall behind him, and climbed over it.

In reality, it is very difficult for local forces to gain control of the FBI.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is a law enforcement agency directly under the federal government. To prevent the FBI from being controlled by local forces, the federal government has established many provisions to prevent local powers from becoming too powerful.

For example, at least one-third of the FBI agents in each region should be transferred from other cities.

Ander, who was born and raised in Kaya City, was transferred to Dawn City, and Selena also does not seem to be a native of Dawn City.

This is to prevent local powers from controlling the lower levels, creating a monolithic structure that undermines leadership.

Of course, as compensation for these agents leaving their homes, the FBI's benefits are not bad. Ander, who had just graduated, had a weekly salary of eight hundred federal dollars and was also provided with the best medical insurance.

Most FBI agents undergo both mental and physical training from headquarters before starting their jobs.

At the higher levels, almost all FBI field directors are stationed in different cities for a four-year term, with a maximum of one re-term. If they are not promoted after their term expires, they will be transferred to other cities.

That's why He was so surprised when he first learned that the FBI had been infiltrated.

However, he felt that no matter how strong the other party was, they did not have the ability to infiltrate the entire FBI. They were more likely to have controlled some mid- to high-ranking officials who had been stationed in local areas for a relatively long time.

The fact that the people who intercepted Heo were from a gang rather than the FBI shows that they...

The FBI does not have complete information and dares not use the FBI to commit murder.

So far, the FBI's wanted notice for Heo, while called a warrant for his arrest, is actually a 'reward for finding a key witness' rather than an arrest warrant for a criminal.

Of course, all the publicity and news reports say that this is a 'wanted' person.

However, the FBI's operating procedure dictates that all arrest warrants must be reported to FBI headquarters along with detailed case materials so that they can be distributed throughout the federal government.

This rule was designed to facilitate the capture of criminals who had fled to other cities, and also to centralize local authority.

To go through this process, you need to provide detailed case materials, a complete investigation, and an arrest warrant signed by a federal district court.

Even if it's a deputy supervisor who is murdered, such a case would take ten days to half a month to go through the proper procedures, and it would also attract the attention of the investigation team from the capital, Irons.

This case cannot withstand close scrutiny.

Therefore, the FBI officials under their control dared not issue arrest warrants.

And that was He Ao's opportunity.

Regardless, the FBI in Rock City is merely a subordinate agency, subject to oversight and control from the federal government.

So Heo didn't kill the monster immediately, but instead lured it into the FBI's encirclement, exposing it to the sight of all the FBI agents.

They could deceive lower-ranking detectives into believing that Heo was a heinous criminal because Heo's case was indeed secretive and few people knew about it, allowing them to manipulate the facts.

But the real monsters are ones that everyone has seen before.

The FBI's internal oversight body also has spies at the lower levels.

After tonight, the information about the monster in Rock City will most likely reach the FBI headquarters.

The FBI may not target corporations, but eradicating alien beasts and cults is their responsibility.

Judging from the training Ender received, the FBI has not been completely corrupted.

It would be too difficult for Heo to find these crazy monsters scattered throughout the city by himself, but it's different with the FBI.

Defeating these crazed monsters will also help Heo complete the main quest.

So even if the FBI headquarters doesn't investigate the Rock City branch and withdraws the 'wanted' warrant for Heo, most of the Rock City FBI's resources will still be drawn into eliminating the crazed monster.

Then there was one less obstacle in He Ao's way, which actually became an advantage for him.

Of course, the person behind the scenes or the conglomerate may also block the news, preventing it from reaching FBI headquarters.

But it doesn't matter, Heo had already re-contacted Eve on his way here and used his bracelet to record the appearance of the monster and the FBI agents present.

These videos have now gone viral online.

The more people know about it, the greater the pressure on the FBI from the public level will be, and they will inevitably intervene.

After all, FBI agents appeared in the video. Not knowing and not doing are two different things.

Actually, the appearance of this monster was just a coincidence. He Ao didn't expect to be able to meet it at the appointed time.

I encountered this monster at the doorstep of En's house.

He Ao originally planned to find a monster to be discovered by the FBI, but he happened to run into it when he came to see Yorn, so he decided to use it.

Moreover, the monster was powerful enough, and there were plenty of FBI agents on site.

Heo dragged Yorn along, quickly leaving the original area. At this moment, he finally had time to look at Yorn. "Speak, what is it?"

The fact that Jon drew an inverted 'V' to summon him means there must be something he wants to discuss.

Yorn was stunned. He finally came to his senses from the intense battle. Memories flooded his mind. He took a deep breath and said softly, "My grandmother was captured by the gang."

He looked into He Ao's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally said softly, "They forced me to lure you out, or they would kill my grandmother. But they don't know that our symbol means we'll meet at a restaurant. I told them you would come to find me and that they should stay home and wait."

"When you got to the restaurant and found I wasn't there, you should have realized it was a trap. I, Jon, may not be very capable, but I wouldn't betray a friend. I'll go save my own family myself."

He paused for a moment, then suddenly realized something and stared wide-eyed at He Ao, "Why didn't you go to the restaurant?"
