I discovered a world bug.

The next day.

.....

I still don't understand.

Qin Lang sat in the passenger seat of the Land Cruiser, while Lu Ran drove.

After a night's rest, he was in pretty good spirits, but he still seemed to be bothered by the divination results from the previous night.

"So according to your divination results, Lu Ran and you both died at the hands of that Kun Corpse."

"And when you died, there wasn't a single one of our own left by your side."

"This proves that we have most likely been completely wiped out."

"But how is that possible?"

"That was just a giant zombie, essentially a large version of a zombie."

"Even if those of us left over there can't catch it right away, surely it won't be able to rout it completely, will it?"

"This is simply illogical—how can a living organism withstand a 5.8mm bullet?"

"Even if he can withstand bullets, can he withstand grenades?"

"One grenade blasted it to pieces, what kind of trouble could it possibly cause?"

Qin Lang's tone carried a hint of disdain—Lin Shu had already learned from Lu Ran that Qin Lang was actually a soldier who had served in a special forces unit. He was only brought into the research team because of a certain special "ritual incident".

He is very smart, quick to learn, and impeccable in his work, which is why he was chosen as the team leader to lead this professional team.

But Lin Shu always felt that his personality was a bit too thuggish and too reckless.

Just like now, he said something that even he himself didn't know how to respond to.

How can you be so confident?!

Although the Kun Corpse does seem to rely on a carbon-based body to move around, who knows if it has any special ritual power to protect it.

If we were to actually clash with them one day, and with unclear intelligence and insufficient preparation, wouldn't it be hard to imagine what a terrible outcome it would be if our entire army were wiped out?

You're a professional soldier, don't act like a bandit or warlord...

Lin Shu silently complained in her heart, but didn't say it out loud.

He was unsure whether he should be more direct or more tactful.

Fortunately, this problem was taken over by others.

"Old Qin, do you know what mistake you've made?"

Sitting next to Lin Shu, Huo Qing, a team member with a burly appearance but an elegant name, looked at Qin Lang's profile with a serious expression and continued before he could answer:

"You've made a classic dogmatic mistake."

"Have you ever seen a Kun Corpse? Has anyone here seen one?"

"Let alone zombies, the last record of 'zombies' dates back to 1991."

"Moreover, the nature of that zombie incident has not been determined to this day, and no one knows whether the local armed forces department was dealing with a zombie or a patient with a special disease."

"Your current disregard for the Kun Corpse is entirely because you've seen the information and ancient books, and you think it's nothing to be afraid of."

"But you must understand that the rituals related to the Kun Corpse have also been in a state of long-term interruption of their lineage. It is not surprising that they will exhibit any special characteristics when they reappear at this time!"

"...Okay, okay."

Qin Lang was speechless after being confronted by Huo Qing, but he was not arrogant and readily admitted his mistake.

"It's my fault, I underestimated my opponent."

"but......"

"Judging from the divination results, since the death occurred in western Hunan and after we saw the Kun corpse, does that mean our trip to the tea town is actually quite safe?"

"Look at yourself!"

Huo Qing, frustrated and disappointed, criticized him again:

"What mistake are you making now? It's an error of empiricism!"

"You think we're safe just because the death Lin Shu predicted happened in western Hunan?"

"What if things change? What if he leaves us?"

"If you keep being so careless, I'm going to..."

"Master, Master!"

Qin Lang quickly called a halt.

"Master, please stop reading, I was really wrong..."

Seeing the pained expression on his face, Huo Qing snorted and said no more.

Lin Shu exchanged a glance with Jin Yue, who was sitting on the other side, silently fiddling with the 191 rifle in his hand, and a knowing smile appeared on their faces at the same time.

Luckily, I didn't say much.

Otherwise, this fire might end up burning my head...

Clearing her throat lightly, Lin Shu asked at just the right moment:

"So what's our plan for this trip to the tea city? Li Yu is dead, where are we supposed to look for clues?"

"First, arrange all the locations according to his movement trajectory."

Qin Lang replied:

"After he arrived in the tea town, he checked into a local hotel, and that's where we started our investigation."

"The local police will cooperate with our operation and retrieve and analyze all surveillance footage along his route."

"If they find anything unusual, they will notify us—and then we can go directly to the scene."

"Our current goal is to investigate why he went to the tea town and then left."

"If we can find other people whose paths intersect with his, then our investigation will have a new direction."

"so......"

Lin Shu was not familiar with this criminal investigation process—objectively speaking, he always felt that such investigations were somewhat like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But clearly, there is no better way right now.

When the client didn't take the bait, I tried to message him again to ask for a more detailed report about the "assassination target," which is myself, but he just remained silent and didn't reply at all.

At the same time, Jin Yue, as a technician, also confirmed that it was impossible to trace back the other party's true identity using existing equipment and network information—which was actually to be expected.

These masterminds, who were able to organize hackers to launch attacks on official databases and succeed, how could they possibly make mistakes in these matters?

The entire situation has descended into chaos, and the only advantage our side seems to have is... Li Yu's death.

The other side is most likely unaware that Li Yu is dead, and this information gap may be the key to breaking the deadlock.

But how do you use it?

The car drove smoothly forward, and apart from Lu Ran who was driving, the other team members closed their eyes to rest.

Lin Shu couldn't sleep anyway, so she picked up Li Yu's phone and started scrolling through the messages in the group chat out of boredom.

The group chat was still noisy, with all sorts of messages being sent.

However, compared to before, there seems to be more discussion about "spells".

Perhaps these people have already noticed the changes in the world.

Just as Qin Lang mentioned, they have probably discovered the resurgence of that "mysterious factor".

However, at this moment, no one would rashly voice this conjecture.

Because no one can predict what the consequences of such speculation will be.

Lin Shu scrolled through the messages one by one, skipping over the guys who were selling various items.

He wasn't interested in anything like Buddhist amulets or spirit money—things not recorded in ritual texts might just be pure superstition...

But just then, a guy suddenly popped up.

"Genuine lightning-struck wood, real photos taken on site, DM me if interested."

Along with the photo GG posted was one of a pine tree that had been struck by lightning and felled.

Lin Shu felt a strange sense of familiarity—he clicked on the picture, intending to examine it closely, but the next second…

The image has been withdrawn.

Immediately afterwards, the account of the person who sent the message disappeared directly from the public group.

The man was kicked out.

In an instant, Lin Shu felt a chill run down her spine.

has a problem!

He didn't have time to check the messages in the group chat, and shouted loudly at Qin Lang:

"Hurry up!"

"The second assassin we're looking for is very likely still in the tea town!"
