The sequence is too involutional, luckily I am too.

"Lu Yan, you're rushing too fast. Be careful... there might be a trap..."

Just as Lu Yan was about to see if there were any other gains, Cao Meng and his group finally arrived.

They were cautiously approaching, but Lu Yan seemed to have discovered something and actually flew out on the Dawnbreaker Spear.

Although Lu Yan is now Sequence 7, the methods of the Believers of the Mysterious God are unpredictable, so we must not be careless.

However, when Cao Meng and his group arrived, they were stunned by the scene before them.

One man had a hole pierced through his chest and was already lifeless.

The other person survived, but didn't seem to be in good condition either.

"His consciousness has collapsed."

Cao Meng ran up to Brother Wang and looked at him, her expression somewhat strange.

Judging from the other person's terrified expression and the fact that they lost control of their bladder, it was as if they had experienced endless torment.

But apart from the four bloody holes, the other person had no other wounds.

Is this the capacity of an arbitrator?

As far as he knew, the arbitrator could convict the target based on the crimes committed, and thus punish the target to varying degrees.

But no punishment could have had the same effect as Lu Yan's.

"This person must have committed a truly heinous crime."

Cao Meng came up with a relatively reasonable explanation, and then signaled her team members to look around.

"Goodness, two Sequence 8s are gone just like that?"

Yu Qi looked around and was speechless at the gruesome sight of the two dead.

"We've really hit the jackpot this time."

Han Xiaoxiao wholeheartedly agreed, and her gaze toward Lu Yan became even more admiring.

"Come and see this."

Yu Zheng found the tombstone used by the two for cultivation and dug out a corpse.

"This uniform...it's a prison uniform from the Public Security Department!"

The three exchanged a glance, their expressions turning serious as they looked at Cao Meng.

Cao Meng realized the problem and quickly took out her camera to take photos as evidence.

The corpses of superhumans contain the secrets of their sequences, so even the corpses of criminals are not easily leaked out.

Therefore, there must be an inside agent within the Ministry of Public Security who is providing the gravediggers with corpses!

Cao Meng grew angrier the more she thought about it. The minister had already arrested so many people, so why were there still so many traitors?

"I'll leave this place to you; I'll go to the next location first."

Seeing that the others had made some gains, Lu Yan didn't linger any longer and headed to the next place alone.

But just then, more subtitles appeared before my eyes.

The Gardener of Ghosts captured the ultimate fear and used it as nourishment for the Ghost Seed.

The supernatural species (high-level) has begun to grow...

It can actually absorb fear?

Lu Yan was somewhat surprised. This strange seed was originally obtained by capturing powerful remnant souls, but it had been left in the ghost realm for so long without any movement.

But unexpectedly, things changed today.

"Lu Yan, what's wrong? Leave this to us, you go ahead, we'll catch up soon."

Seeing Lu Yan standing there in a daze, Cao Meng assumed that he had some concerns and immediately spoke up.

"It's nothing, I just thought about some things."

Lu Yan shook his head, took out a map to confirm the location, and then rode away on his spear.

We can only grow by absorbing fear, so we can't miss this opportunity.

……

Three days later, in the courtroom.

Yao Xiangyang looked at the task report submitted by Cao Meng and found it hard to believe.

"You're saying Lu Yan wiped out all the Ghost God strongholds I gave him within three days?"

He did intend to give Lu Yan credit, but the efficiency with which he handled it really raised suspicions of cheating.

Cao Meng nodded vigorously and said, "And it seems he's also discovered some other suspicious locations and is investigating them... right?"

Cao Meng himself was somewhat unsure of what to say, because none of the cultists discovered by Lu Yan had survived.

No, it should be said that it was worse than death.

He felt that "purge" was a more appropriate term than "investigation."

"This kid has a rather bloodthirsty nature."

Yao Xiangyang also saw the records in the report, but he didn't find anything wrong with them; on the contrary, he appreciated them even more.

From the moment these traitors offered their faith to the evil god, they could no longer be considered human.

Thinking of this, Yao Xiangyang couldn't help but smile.

Cao Meng naturally captured this scene.

"These two, they truly are worthy of being master and disciple!"

Cao Meng felt a surge of emotion and was also quite delighted.

Yao Xiangyang did the same thing back then, which is why he was able to break through and achieve the current status of the Judgment Department in Shelter 056.

And now Yao Xiangyang is still at the height of his power, and Lu Yan has emerged who has surpassed him.

The future of the adjudication department is bright!

"Then, Minister, I'll head down now."

Cao Meng's phone vibrated in his pocket, and he immediately took his leave from Yao Xiangyang.

Lu Yan went on a killing spree for the past three days, and the Seventh Squad was also extremely busy, with various cleanup tasks simply not being finished.

Here comes another text message.

After Cao Meng left, Yao Xiangyang's smile gradually faded.

"Hmph! Originally, for the sake of the bigger picture, making an example of someone would have been enough, but some people just won't give up until they're completely cornered."

"That's right!"

Russell appeared out of the corner of the room at some point and said, "You weren't this long-winded back then. You would have just killed someone if they deserved it, instead of all this nonsense."

With that, Russell snatched the document from Yao Xiangyang's hand and said, "I've been quite free lately, so I'll take care of these people."

Yao Xiangyang did not reply, but his cold gaze said it all.

Shelter 056 really needs to be thoroughly cleaned up!

……

Meanwhile, inside a luxurious clubhouse.

The once vibrant and bustling place is now littered with corpses, and in the center of these bodies, Lu Yan stands holding a gun, like a god of war!

Unseen by others, a trace of fear was being drawn into the monster seed by the Ghost Gardener.

【Strange Species (87%)】

The panel accurately displayed the growth progress of the strange seed, and Lu Yan himself could also sense the faint consciousness within the strange seed.

Clearly, Gao Qiang's remnant soul has been preserved and is now climbing towards a higher realm.

All he needs is fear.

But... it seems he has nowhere to collect them for the time being.

Lu Yan looked around at the corpses scattered on the ground, his brows furrowing slightly.

These people were not killed by him; to be precise, they were already corpses before he took action.

These corpses had been specially treated to look no different from living people, and he only discovered the truth after killing them.

Corpses, of course, do not experience fear.

However, that's not what he cares about.

If the executioner hadn't discovered it, and given his ability to see into the psychic realm, he really wouldn't have noticed this place.

The reason why Yao Xiangyang's intelligence report was missing these points is probably because of this.

However, it seems very abnormal that such a well-hidden stronghold has been exposed one after another.

"Unless someone is trying to use this as a distraction to carry out other actions..."

A flash of inspiration struck Lu Yan, and he immediately understood everything.

"A feint... all the exposed strongholds are inside the city, so the real objective is outside the city?"
