The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

"The house is almost completely packed up, which means the other party has been preparing to escape for a long time."

"The accommodation was canceled this afternoon, which means the other party must have only been gone for two or three hours and hadn't had time to leave the Diana area yet."

If it were someone else, they would likely be at a loss and could only wait for the Deauville family's investigation results.

But Gu Ran is different. He has just observed that there are many surveillance cameras near where Zhang Yinghuo lives. As long as he can access the relevant surveillance footage, he can find out where Zhang Yinghuo went.

"The Duville family controls the department responsible for surveillance equipment."

Information about the various functional departments of Saint-Yoel City quickly appeared in Gu Ran's mind, and then he teleported away.

......

Because managing the surveillance equipment was not a very important job, and there were no serious illegal or criminal activities in the core area of ​​the Duville family, the staff there were just ordinary people.

After being threatened by Gu Ran, these employees who were used to slacking off suddenly displayed the highest work efficiency they had ever had, and helped Gu Ran find Zhang Yinghuo's whereabouts.

"To the east... they fled to the core area of ​​the Lasambo family... Could this matter be related to the Lasambo family?"

Gu Ran realized the difficulty and seriousness of this matter.

The Lazarus family is one of the top families in St. Joel, but unlike other families, the Lazarus family is relatively neutral and does not like to form cliques.

However, anyone who dares to underestimate this family will pay a heavy price, because this family can be said to represent the most powerful military force in Saint Yor City.

"If it really is the Lazarus family, why would they need so many children with superpowers? Could it be...?"

Various rumors about the Lazarus family surfaced in Gu Ran's mind.

......

Outside the light screen.

"Oh dear, it's the Lazarus family. That's terrible."

Among these powerful individuals, some clearly knew something about this family, and they explained it to the others.

“Saint-Yor City is different from other major cities. It is ruled by several top families in rotation. This has resulted in the dispersion of power in Saint-Yor City. Although each top family is a king in Saint-Yor City, they are much weaker than the top families in other major cities.”

"In addition, their system is inherently prone to internal strife, so in terms of overall strength, Saint Yor City is weaker than most other major cities. The reason why it can still surpass a few major cities is because of the existence of the Lazarus family."

"The Lazarus family's superpowers are very strange. It is said that regardless of whether they are blood relatives such as parents and children, as long as they are from the same clan, have the same bloodline, and are recognized, they can perfectly inherit the superpower crystal core of their ancestors."

The success rate of inheriting supernatural power crystals is higher the bloodline is closer, and the closest relationships are those of biological parents and children, brothers and sisters.

If one can perfectly inherit the superpower crystal core even across several generations, it is indeed a very rare ability.

Those who inherit the power of the supernatural crystal core can cultivate faster and more easily reach the strength of their ancestors.

Of course, exceeding that limit becomes very difficult, and there may even be some restrictions.

This is not a good thing for some geniuses who pursue the ultimate, but it is a highly coveted ability for some families.

"The Lazarus family actually has such a method. Don't other top families covet it?" someone asked curiously.

"Of course, other top families coveted it, but once they learned the inside story, they all gave up the idea of ​​seizing it, because only the Lasambo family could use this method."

"Why?" The others were all intrigued.

46. ​​Obtaining clues

"That's because the Lazarus family's abilities are very special... they are a vampire family," the powerful man said.

A vampire family?

The crowd was indeed somewhat surprised, as many of them were unaware of this information.

Because Saint Yor City is not a particularly prominent city among the nineteen main cities, and given the deliberate low profile of the Lazarus family, even powerful figures of their stature know very little about it.

"Vampires? No wonder other families can't use this method. If it really is a vampire family that makes a move, then these children with special abilities are probably doomed."

"However, it seems that they captured children with special abilities, so perhaps Lady Gu Qingqing, who had not yet awakened her abilities at that time, was able to escape with her life."

"Isn't that obvious? Lady Gu Qingqing is perfectly fine now, which means that the Lasambo family didn't kill her back then, or that she was rescued before they could kill her."

"But now... the Lasambo family seems to no longer exist, right? And now Saint Joel City itself is at the bottom of all the main cities in terms of strength. It is said that a very big upheaval occurred back then, and a lot of powerful people died."

Suddenly, a powerful figure from Vermilion Bird City said, "I remember now, it seems that in this year, Lord Leng Feng went to Saint Yor City and brought back a little girl, whom he took as his only student."

"This is the year that you mentioned, the year that a very big upheaval occurred in the city of Saint-Joel."

Gu Qingqing's previously dazed eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, it was in this year that she was brought back to Suzaku City by her teacher and became her student.

And this time, it must be the time when my teacher, my brother, and I met.

“I asked my teacher, and she said that her trip to St. Joel was actually for the sake of the Lasambo family. It seems that my teacher has some grudges against the Lasambo family.”

Upon hearing Gu Qingqing's words, everyone was taken aback, then suddenly realized what she meant.

"Oh, so it must be that Lady Leng Feng just happened to save Lady Gu Qingqing when she went to the Lasambo family."

"So the turmoil in Saint-Joy City back then was actually caused by the conflict between Lord Leng Feng and the Lasambo family? That makes sense. Perhaps only someone of Lord Leng Feng's strength could defeat so many powerful figures in Saint-Joy City, causing the foundation of Saint-Joy City's strength to decline."

Because the strength of Saint-Yoel City has greatly declined and has not yet recovered, even their allied forces do not have any strong members from Saint-Yoel City. Therefore, many people present do not know much about the situation, or only know a little bit about it.

Gu Qingqing looked at the screen expectantly.

Teacher, did you come to save me?

......

Although he knew that the force behind the scenes was likely the Lazarus family, Gu Ran was not afraid at all.

His only concern was his sister's safety. The Lazarus family was known as a vampire family, so naturally they had an extraordinary thirst for blood.

Their purpose in secretly kidnapping so many children with special abilities is now obvious.

"We can't delay any longer."

Gu Ran was extremely anxious, and at the same time, a murderous intent was rising within him.

With Zhang Yinghuo's escape route flashing through his mind, Gu Ran used several teleports to arrive at the station, narrowing down the search area.

"It's him!"

Although Zhang Yinghuo had disguised himself as a woman, Gu Ran still recognized him at a glance.

Gu Ran walked out of the portal indifferently and grabbed Zhang Yinghuo's shoulder.

Zhang Yinghuo's body trembled, and without turning his head, he immediately rolled over and fired a shot.

Did someone catch up so quickly?

Zhang Yinghuo was greatly alarmed.

But then he felt a sharp pain in his wrist where he was holding the gun.

With a thud, the hand holding the pistol fell to the ground along with the pistol.

"Ah! My hand!"

Zhang Yinghuo stared in horror at his wrist, which no longer had a hand, his face contorted in pain. At the same time, the wig he was wearing to disguise himself as a woman fell off.

Gu Ran interrogated Zhang Yinghuo directly, as if no one else was around: "I ask, you answer. If you dare to conceal anything, the pain you suffer will be ten times greater than it is now. If you hesitate or deceive, the same will be true."

Are you Zhang Yinghuo?

This was a very simple question, but Zhang Yinghuo did not answer immediately. It was unclear whether it was because he was in pain and his reaction was slow, or because he had not thought it through.

However, he hesitated.

"Very good, you've got guts." Gu Ran slashed downwards with a spatial slash, neatly severing Zhang Yinghuo's five toes.

"I'll ask you one more time, are you Zhang Yinghuo?" Gu Ran asked coldly.

"Yes, yes, yes! I am Zhang Yinghuo! Please let me go, I'm bleeding so much, I'm about to die!" Originally, Zhang Yinghuo was covering his left wrist, which had lost its hand, with his right hand, but his toes had been cut off, making it impossible for him to cover the wound to stop the bleeding.

Gu Ran ignored his wailing: "Didn't the principal ask you to fix the school's surveillance equipment yesterday?"

"Yes! The principal asked me to repair the surveillance equipment yesterday." This time, Zhang Yinghuo dared not hesitate for a moment.

"So, did you break the school's surveillance system?"

Zhang Yinghuo hesitated again.

“Very good—” Gu Ran seemed to be praising her, but her face was cold.

"No, no, no, I'll tell you, I broke it!" Zhang Ying said anxiously.

Gu Ran then cut off five toes from Zhang Yinghuo's other foot before coldly saying, "Next time, say it earlier."

Perhaps because he had already undergone the procedure twice and had become somewhat accustomed to the pain, Zhang Yinghuo did not experience the same excruciating pain as before this time, but he felt even more terrified.

This young man is a truly ruthless person.

"Did the Lazarus family instigate you to do this?"

"Yes, oh no, no, it's not the Lasambo family." Zhang Yinghuo, out of fear, subconsciously said the correct answer in his mind, but after realizing what he had said, an even greater fear came over him, and he wanted to change his words immediately.

This is actually why Gu Ran did what he did before: the questions were raised from simple to difficult, from unimportant to very important, while training Zhang Yinghuo's instinctive reaction to answer immediately, so that he could get the answer as quickly as possible.

"One last question, where are those students now?"

"You've already betrayed the Lazarus family. Do you think they'll let you off the hook? Or do you think I'll let you off the hook?"
