Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 152 Returning Birds

Wang Teng glanced around and found that no one else was looking at him. There were only these four people around him. The circles had changed. The dozen or so people had been divided into several circles.

"Phew~ You're a real genius!" Jiang Shaoxu had to admit that relying solely on those few words to conduct practical verification was simply taking his life for granted.

No wonder the opponent's magical skill is so high, and their spellcasting speed is ridiculously fast.

"Thank you so much for what you said today. What you said makes a lot of sense. How will you know if you can do it if you don't try?"

Ai Jiangtu was somewhat excited. He considered himself a genius, and with Wang Teng as a living example right in front of him, the fact that the other party had succeeded proved that it was feasible.

He didn't expect Wang Teng to say anything more specific; that was valuable experience that Wang Teng had verified through his own practice.

Being able to tell them that the path of control can be successfully navigated at a higher level is already considered extremely kind and considerate.

"I can also tell you something else: it's best to bring a cultivation artifact with you. Control training consumes a lot of magic energy, and without a cultivation artifact to quickly replenish it, it will be very difficult for you to continue."

"If possible, it would be best to wear a Star River Magic Artifact. If you have a matching magic energy recovery facility, that would be even better."

Seeing their unwavering expressions, Wang Teng smiled with satisfaction. If word got out, he would only be seen as a genius, not a victim.

Without a specific cultivation method, it would be extremely difficult to figure it out by trial and error, and even if he did manage to figure it out, it wouldn't matter to him.

At higher levels, one can compete on skill and expertise, but at higher levels, in addition to skill and expertise, one also needs hard power; otherwise, that hurdle is not easy to overcome.

Jiang Shaoxu smiled with satisfaction. She could still afford the Star River Magic Artifact, but she would only use it to restore her magic power. Wang Teng was really wasting it.

No wonder this guy has the Starry Sea Magic Artifact hanging around his neck; apparently, he no longer cares about the Star River Magic Artifact.

Ai Jiangtu also felt it was a luxury, even though he kept killing demons, the Star River Magic Artifact was still an expensive item.

Mo Fan's eyes burned with desire. He did have a little mudskipper, but what was this about control? Judging from Ai Jiangtu and Jiang Shaoxu's expressions, they seemed to understand.

"Xuexue, do you know what control is?"

Mu Ningxue frowned slightly, shook her head without saying a word, her meaning was already quite clear.

How could she possibly be involved in methods that involve high-level mages or even super-level mages at this stage?

However, this also became a blind spot in her knowledge. She was very talented, but her vision was not broad enough, and she did not learn about the higher levels of magic.

Even if she heard it now, she wouldn't be able to practice, let alone replenish her magic energy with the Star River Magic Artifact, which she didn't have the means to do so.

Mo Fan was scratching his head in frustration. If he had a cell phone, he could contact Lingling, and she would definitely know what was going on.

As the ship sailed, everyone soon returned to Asuka City.

Upon receiving the news, Lin Junxian was overjoyed and went out to greet them.

Ai Jiangtu gave a detailed account of the demon-hunting process.

"You killed all the Crimson Demons? And there were even commander-level leaders among them?"

Lin Junxian stared in shock at the slightly dark-skinned man in front of him, and the group of young men and women behind him, when a flash of inspiration struck him.

"Could it be that you are members of this year's National Team?"

"Ahem~ Alright, stop speculating. We've completed this monster hunt. Let's rest tonight!"

Ai Jiangtu quickly interrupted his wild thoughts, "Even though he guessed it, don't say it out loud."

There's another matter, the baby incident. He doesn't know if it's related to the guy in front of him, so he can't alert him for now.

We still need to wait for information from Jiang Yu and Mu Tingying.

"Don't worry, I'll arrange for you to rest right away!"

……

Jiang Yu and Mu Tingying, who had been busy until late at night, finally returned to their hotel suite.

"What did you say? Someone in the government is deliberately condoning the siren?" Ai Jiangtu stood up with a murderous look on his face.

"That's my guess. They've concealed the fact that the baby was attacked, went missing, and died," Jiang Yu said.

"Damn it, we risked our lives to help them kill demons and clean up the island," Nan Jue said angrily.

"Have you found out exactly how many missing infants there are?" Ai Jiangtu asked in a deep voice, his voice tinged with suppressed anger.

"From three years ago until now... there are probably more than a hundred people. This is what I found in the files. I also paid people to go to each village and town in the area to inquire. Every year, the missing persons are attributed to human traffickers... so I suspect that someone has tampered with the case classification. This should be classified as a demon case," Jiang Yu said with a sigh.

"Furthermore, we interviewed some people and found that some deliberately avoided talking about this matter and remained silent about demons," Mu Tingying added.

"This Asuka City..." Nan Jue angrily berated these people for their inaction.

Jiang Shaoxu was also extremely angry about this kind of unscrupulous local government.

A group of people sat around, listening to the detailed news about Jiang Yu and Mu Tingying. Their faces were not very pleasant. However, after hearing that Lin Junxian had not been involved and that his reputation was quite good, they decided to discuss the matter again tomorrow.

The next day, in the conference room on the roof of the building, Jiang Yu projected a series of pictures.

Everyone's eyes were filled with shock, and Lin Junxian angrily slammed his fist on the conference table.

"Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable!" He never expected that Asuka City had such a hidden story. No wonder so much investment had yielded no results.

After a brief discussion, Jiang Yu continued to investigate the matter.

"Mo Fan, weren't you a hunter? If demons are appearing, they'll leave traces."

"Since this matter has remained undiscovered, the siren's route must be relatively simple. Finding that route should be a clue for tracking them."

"We've analyzed the habits of the sirens in the area before; they like to use islands and reefs as resting places. This should narrow down the tracking area and make it easier to track them."

Wang Teng sat at the conference table, thought for a moment, looked at Mo Fan, and gave a suggestion: he couldn't expect anyone to disappear right now.

"There are only three areas with islands and reefs in the nearby waters." Nan Jue immediately took out the map and searched carefully, quickly pinpointing the general route.

"We can give it a try. The traces of demons are time-limited; they will disappear after a long time. If there are any traces, then there is a high chance that they will take action." Mo Fan nodded seriously. The three areas are easy to track.

"I will arrange for someone to accompany you and help you. Just let me know if you need anything," Lin Junxian said.

"The investigation into this matter cannot be too large-scale, lest it alert the enemy. The fewer people involved, the better," Ai Jiangtu shook his head.

"Here's what we'll do: Mo Fan and Nan Jue will be in one team, Guan Yu and Zu Jiming will be in another, and Jiang Shaoxu and Li Kaifeng will be in the third. These three teams will be responsible for the search."

"Jiang Yu and Mu Tingying, wait for the right moment and for my notification."

"You four teams, take pagers with you. If you spot anything, speak up immediately. Wang Teng and I will be there to assist you."

"Mo Fan, share your search experience with everyone." Ai Jiangtu quickly finalized the personnel assignment.
