The villain, caught in a chaotic situation, only wants to boost his popularity.

The command room of the Sixth Holy Spirit Bureau was filled with an oppressive and heavy atmosphere.

"When I arrived at the scene, I found my partner, the Swift Operator, lying on the ground, unconscious."

After receiving the urgent mission communication, Mu Jing and Xue Hua immediately asked for half a day off from Sheng Hua Academy and rushed to the Holy Spirit Bureau.

"Yes. At that time... I was being chased by a purple-haired demon wearing a vengeful ghost mask. She was incredibly fast, even able to catch up with me when I awakened my [Extreme Speed] psionic ability."

At that moment, the blue-haired woman lying on the sofa was speaking with difficulty.

The voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz, as weak as a candle flickering in the wind.

It was as if all the moisture in her body had been drained, leaving her as withered as a piece of twig that had been scorched by the blazing sun for many days.

His body was covered in hideous scars, his eyes were sunken, and he was almost exhausted from even lifting his eyes.

"Based on my experience, she should possess the ability to suck blood and plunder spiritual energy, as well as that terrifying speed. As soon as you touch the black mist around her, your blood and spiritual energy will drain away rapidly, and you will instantly become limp and powerless."

"Xiaoxue, Xiaojing, that's roughly the situation." Suijiu, dressed in a classic maid's outfit, took a sip from her celadon teacup and spoke in a calm tone.

"Upon receiving the report from Minsu, we immediately issued a notice to our officers in each jurisdiction, and within just a few hours, we discovered ten abnormal bodies."

Mu Jing looked up at the monitoring screen in the center of the command room—ten bodies were neatly stacked in a specially made refrigerated cabinet, their condition exactly the same as Min Su's, all shriveled and withered.

The only difference was that their faces were frozen with different expressions, each one filled with extreme pain.

"These people's experiences are very similar to Min Su's, but one point needs to be corrected:"

According to the latest report, they are not dead, but have fallen into a deep sleep, and their spiritual energy has been completely stripped away, leaving not a trace.

More importantly, they were all ordinary-level extraordinary beings. Sui Jiu paused, then added,

"Fortunately, Operator Rock Force arrived in time to save Min Su, which allowed us to grasp the core characteristics of this demon."

She lightly tapped the laser pen in her hand, and a sketch instantly appeared on the large screen, instantly capturing everyone's attention.

The woman in the painting is dressed in night clothes, with purple hair falling over her shoulders. The lines of the vengeful ghost mask on her face are twisted and ferocious, and every stroke conveys inhuman rage and ancient resentment.

"This is an image drawn based on Minsu's description and the sketches she made." Suijiu looked at everyone, "Does anyone have anything to add?"

Mu Jing remained silent for a moment, considering how to arrive at his conclusion.

Then he took a half step forward and said, "Director, perhaps it shouldn't be called a demon, but more likely a demonic contract holder."

I suspect that behind this series of cases lies a highly ritualistic breaking ceremony of the magical pact.

"Look, everyone has bite marks on their necks." He pointed to the large screen. "These bite marks are all precisely placed in the center of the neck, and combined with the physical examination report, the killer committed all the crimes at night."

Sui Jiu put down the celadon cup and nodded slowly: "Agent Mu Jing's analysis makes a lot of sense."

Therefore, a special investigation team has been established for this case, with Mu Jing as the captain, Xue Hua as the deputy captain, and Yan Li and Min Su as team members, specifically responsible for this demonic contract incident.

The moment the words were spoken, the air in the command room seemed to freeze.

Min Su, sitting on the sofa, frowned and looked at Sui Jiu with a puzzled expression.

Yan Li slammed his hand on the table, pointing at Mu Jing with wide, angry eyes:

"Chief! Why let a mere white-rank ordinary operator be the team leader? Xiaomin is so badly injured, we must catch the murderer as soon as possible, how can we let a rookie lead the team!"

Because it involves the twelve magical artifacts, which are classified information, the purple-level operators Rock Force and Agility are unaware that the two crises in the Mirror Domain Pact and the Tower of Echoes were both resolved by Mu Jing.

Sui Jiu was about to speak when he was about to explain.

Xuehua also frowned and looked at Yanli and Minsu, clearly preparing to defend Mujing.

But Mu Jing stepped forward first and stopped the two: "Agile Operator, Rock Force Operator, the key to this incident is not a contest of raw strength, but accurately identifying the extremely fast Pact user."

"Then how can you prove you can identify this incredibly fast Pact user??? You're just a White-Rank Operator who joined the Holy Spirit Bureau yesterday, what qualifications do you have to guarantee you can resolve this incident?"

"How about we make a bet?" Mu Jing said calmly.

He does not intend to rely on the guarantees provided by Sui Jiu and Xue Hua.

Because he knew that this incident would inevitably escalate and more people would encounter the same thing, he had to seize control of the Holy Spirit Bureau's project command in this incident.

If he cannot maintain command through his own abilities, those who join the task force later will not be convinced, and it will only waste more time and cause more casualties.

"Hmm?" Yanli looked over provocatively. "What kind of bet do you have that's worth us betting on? Why don't we just have a fight and whoever wins becomes the captain?"

At that moment, Minsu, sitting on the sofa, asked in confusion, "If we're talking about ability, shouldn't Miss Xue be the captain directly?"

"Yes, I'm going to defeat this arrogant brat and then elect Miss Xue as captain!!! The director and Miss Xue have both been bewitched by this pretty boy! How can someone with absolutely no ability be fit to lead us?"

Mu Jing shook his head and continued, "Let's bet on who can find the location of that demonic practitioner right now!"

"What???" Yan Li was stunned at first, then his anger intensified: "Kid, are you kidding me! Are you just going to make up a random position and try your luck?"

Even Xuehua held Mujing's hand tightly, still worried.

Xuehua also gripped Mujing's hand tightly, her eyes filled with worry.

Only Sui Jiu watched Mu Jing with great interest. She believed that Mu Jing would not make a bet without any certainty, and she was even more curious about what his basis was.

Ignoring Yan Li's angry rebuke, Mu Jing pointed to the ten bodies on the large screen again: "If it is a magic contract ritual, then it must have ritualistic and regular characteristics."

Everyone nodded in agreement, but Yan Li impatiently retorted, "Do you even need to tell me? Everyone knows that!"

"Have you noticed the jurisdictions to which these ten people belong?"

「咦？」牧镜身旁的雪华轻声念出屏幕上的标注，「1、2、3、4、6、7、8、9、10、11区？」

"That's right, only the fifth and twelfth districts haven't had any cases." Mu Jing nodded.

Yan Li, standing to the side, scoffed, "How could it be such a simple ceremony? Are you saying they'll actually show up in these two districts tonight? That's ridiculous!"

"No, to be more precise, this Demon Contract Master will definitely appear in District Twelf tonight!" Mu Jing said with certainty.
