Taming beasts is not as good as taming yourself

"This is……"

Wu Xiao was somewhat taken aback when he detected a familiar scent in the powder. Then, he suddenly realized that the familiar scent was the smell of the special medicine used by the Advent Society to test adaptees.

"Is this like winning the lottery?"

It was just a newbie mission, but it actually got involved with an evil organization like the Advent Society. It's like winning the grand prize in a lottery.

However, Wu Xiao was not fortunate enough to receive this top prize; such a thorny matter should naturally be handled by the experts from the Public Security Bureau.

However, Wu Xiao was somewhat troubled about how to report this matter. He couldn't just say that he had taken the potion from the Descent Society and was therefore familiar with its taste, which was why he noticed the trickery in the powder.

The police will definitely ask him why he was unharmed after taking the Advent Society's potion. They wonder if he has become an Adaptor. Although the police will not discriminate against Adaptors who are victims, and will even provide extra protection to prevent them from being captured by the Advent Society, Wu Xiao does not want to be restricted.

Moreover, Wu Xiao himself is not an Adaptor, and he is currently trying to distance himself from Adaptors as much as possible. If he were to reveal this to the Public Security Bureau, wouldn't that confirm his status as an Adaptor? If too many people find out, the news will inevitably leak out.

If the Advent Council finds out about this, it will be a real problem. No matter how good the protection of the Security Bureau is, it will absolutely not be able to withstand the Advent Council's strong desire for adaptors.

Therefore, this reason is not suitable for reporting, and without explaining that the powder is related to the Advent Society, it will be difficult to attract enough attention from the police department.

Currently, this energy powder is only classified as a regular case. Although this energy powder is very strange and there are many related missing persons cases, as long as there are no casualties, the case level will not be too high.

Otherwise, the investigation of this case would not have given newcomers like Wu Xiao the opportunity.

"It seems we can only look for other clues related to the Advent Society." Wu Xiao immediately decided to continue the investigation. Since the Advent Society's power was involved in this energy powder, there must be clues in other places. Once we find these clues and report them, the police can take action.

"how?"

Seeing that Wu Xiao remained silent for a long time, the young man with the rooster-like hair asked, his words already carrying a hint of wariness. For those in this kind of business, vigilance was essential, because those who were careless were all dead.

"Okay, but is that all? I need more." Wu Xiao nodded, preparing to use the excuse of buying in bulk to find out the other party's supplier. As long as he could get to the top of this line, the clues he wanted would naturally appear.

"One pack at a time, that's the rule." The young man with the rooster-like hair took a step back, his wariness turning into intense vigilance.

"What a hassle."

Seeing this, Wu Xiao muttered that there was actually a limit, so he had no choice but to use some tough measures.

"Let's do it!"

Before Wu Xiao could make a move, the young man with the rooster-like hair took the initiative to attack. Nobody in this place follows the rules. Once they sense something is wrong, they act decisively and strike first.

Following the words of the young man with the rooster-like hair, the thugs who had been surrounding Wu Xiao each took out a ball of white yarn and threw it at Wu Xiao.

The moment the ball of thread was thrown, it exploded in mid-air, turning into a net. It was clear that this white ball of thread was a tool for beast tamers.

This kind of beast tamer tool is very convenient for capturing low-level pets, and of course it is also very useful for capturing people. However, this obviously does not include Wu Xiao.

As the online group exploded and transformed into a large net, Wu Xiao rushed out in one stride, his target being the young man with the rooster-like hair.

"What?!"

Wu Xiao's burst of speed startled the young man with the rooster-like hair. Despite his surprise at Wu Xiao's rapid approach, the young man remained calm, for he still had a trump card up his sleeve.

"Intimidation!"

The young man with the rooster-comb haircut gave instructions to the green caterpillar hanging on his body.

Upon receiving the command, the green worm rapidly wriggled, causing the originally scattered patterns on its body to recombine and transform into a hideous and terrifying ghost face.

If an ordinary person saw this ghostly face, they would definitely be terrified and stand frozen on the spot, but Wu Xiao would not. In his practice of visualization, Wu Xiao would visualize that terrifying lava giant every day, so how could he be frightened by this tiny insect?

"That's impossible!"

Seeing Wu Xiao ignore his pet's threats and continue to approach, the young man with the rooster-like hair couldn't help but panic, because he knew he might have run into a brick wall.

"Impact!"

Not wanting to sit idly by and wait for death, the young man with the rooster-like hair once again commanded his pet to attack. The opponent was unaffected by the intimidation, probably because of its strong mental power. However, the impact was a physical attack. Even if the level 4 green worm had relatively average attributes, it would still be considered one of the best among ordinary people.

Upon receiving the command, the green worm contracted its body and then, like a spring, crashed into Wu Xiao.

Seeing this, Wu Xiao neither dodged nor evaded, but raised his hand and slapped it away. Wu Xiao, who had achieved minor success in skin refining, was stronger than this level 4 green worm, so how could he be afraid of such a simple collision?

"My lord, please spare my life!"

Seeing his pet beast being slapped away by the boy in front of him, the young man with the rooster-like hair looked as if he had seen a ghost. He had been thinking that the other party might use his pet beast to defend himself, so that he could at least have a close-quarters fight with him.

Now that he had no more thoughts, the young man with the rooster-like hair decisively knelt down and begged for mercy. Face and such were naturally out of the question. In this place, survival was the only truth; if you died, you would have nothing left.

"Spare you? What value do you have that makes me spare you?" Wu Xiao scoffed, looking at the mohawk-haired youth kneeling on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly. The other man knelt down so quickly that Wu Xiao couldn't continue. After all, Wu Xiao still had some pride.

However, since the other party is being so cooperative, I can ask them about the source of this powder.

"Sir, this energy powder..."

In order to survive, the young man with the rooster-like hair naturally revealed what he knew without hesitation. However, before he could finish speaking, he screamed in agony, and mushrooms began to grow on his body. The swelling mushrooms quickly tore the young man's body apart.

"Parasitic spores!"

Wu Xiao took a few steps back, staring solemnly at the corpse of the young man with the rooster-like hair covered in mushrooms. Wu Xiao had read quite a few books at the Public Security Bureau, including one about the unique skill of plant-type pets: parasitism.

These types of skills are difficult to detect when they are not triggered, but once triggered, they will directly drain the target's life force, or the rapidly growing parasites will burst and tear the target apart.

Considering that this powder is related to the Advent Society, it's not surprising that they would use this method to avoid being discovered and having their information leaked.

The Advent Society has long been a universally hated organization, and they would definitely strike hard if they were discovered. It's just a pity that a lead was lost.

As for the few thugs from before, they had long since disappeared. Wu Xiao didn't care about them; he figured they wouldn't get any information out of them anyway. As for tipping them off, Wu Xiao knew that the person behind the scenes must have known the moment the parasitic spores were activated.
