An Xiao also smelled blood when he was talking, but fortunately Ling was skeptical and did not expose it.

"You don't look well." Ling looked at her.

An Xiao thought, can this tell you how good your spirit is?

She said easily, "I just took a nap while reading and woke up. You know, when you are suddenly woken up after sleeping for a while, your head will feel dizzy."

"Did An Ran tell you this?" Ling asked.

An Xiao nodded, then he remembered that his elder brother had explained the same thing before. He was in a very bad mood during that period and seemed to have not slept much at night.

Now that I think about it, I can infer that he had just become Naya not long ago, and was wandering around as Naya every night.

"Oh, right." Ling seemed to remember something and stared at her.

"What did the lady say to you this morning?"

“You just said you were just passing by.”

"Ahem..." Ling was a little embarrassed after being exposed. She walked into the room, closed the door, looked around, and found a chair to sit down.

"It's just some insignificant little things. Mom is too nagging. She's always worried about whether something might happen to me as an executive. She wants me to quit my job and become the head of the human resources department of the group." An Xiao was dissatisfied. "I hate this, but she doesn't think so."

Ling looked at her sister in silence. Among the four daughters of the An family, no one except An Xiao had ever received such high care from Xu Yuqing. One can imagine how important she is to the family.

"Is there nothing else? I mean... something related to the second young lady or something like that." Ling asked vaguely.

This seemed to have hit the nail on the head. An Xiao lowered his head and remained silent for half a minute. When he looked up again, he looked at the sunset outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

"No," she replied.

Ling sighed. Sure enough, something was said. She just came to confirm whether the conversation between the lady and An Xiao mentioned the second young lady. Now she has the answer.

"Okay, I'll go prepare their dinner." Ling glanced at An Xiao before leaving. His eyes moved from her head to the desk and he found the novel fluttering in the wind.

"How strange, where does the wind come from indoors?" She muttered carelessly without thinking much about it.

An Xiao heard the mutter and looked at the novel that had been flipping through the pages on the table. He also felt very strange. It was as if the book had been blown by the wind when he woke up.

She walked to the table and looked at the pages of the book that were constantly turning over and over. She was stunned for a moment and found an envelope inside.

An Xiao opened the envelope and his pupils shrank. Inside was a photo of Gu Zhilan in coma, and on the back was a mysterious address.

Almost subconsciously, she took out her cell phone and dialed her brother's number, wanting to tell An Ran about this matter. Her finger hovered over the dial key.

She hesitated to press it.

...Wu

A port, a smuggling ship.

The port manager was filling out a form with his head down as the container landed on the platform and slowly opened. He didn't notice a strange figure slipping out.

"He" slipped into the small shop in the service area and hid in a small corner full of snacks. No one noticed such a strange person.

"We have to make a plan now on how to save the Lord of the Sewers." said the Black Thorn Ball that served as the head.

"I thought you had a plan." said a young girl who hid her arms in her sleeves.

"Now we are sure that it is in Naya's hands, so we have to find Naya first and then think about what happens next." As the leader of Youshang, the head is very far-sighted.

"The question is where is Naya?"

"I didn't think too much about it. Anyway, we have arrived at the first area and there is no obstruction throughout the journey. This is a good sign. We young warriors must work together as a team and not abandon any of our companions, so that we can fight against those adult warriors who are drooling over us."

"You talk like we're delicious," said one of the boots that acted as feet.

"Alright, stop stealing snacks. My clothes are about to be torn. As Shang, can you not be so embarrassing? Even if you are a young Shang, can you have a little ambition? Are we short of these snacks?" The head was angry, "I am ashamed to have sisters like you!"

While “he” was searching for snacks, he did not notice the camera in the corner above his head.

Chapter 137: Xinmin's Movement (I)

At night, enforcers patrol various areas of the city to prevent hunting incidents among the hiding new citizens. Compared with other alien species, these monsters that have experienced the carnival are more unstable.

In an empty corner, several bloody corpses were torn to pieces.

"These are all alien species." said Ronnie, who was following behind Anya.

She stared at the corpses. It was obvious that a hunt had taken place not long ago, but the prey was no longer limited to humans, and alien species gradually appeared.

The victims' heads had suffered varying degrees of severe injuries, and skull fragments could be seen on the ground. The hunters' methods were simple and crude, using absolute force to smash the prey's heads and then digging out the tissues and organs. Even she could not bear the bloody and cruel scene.

Even the vast majority of the Shang people swallow their food whole, with the sole purpose of absorbing nutrients, trying to increase efficiency as much as possible and erase all traces.

Anya just watched coldly and didn't feel any discomfort. She always thought she was very cold-blooded.

It's just a surprise that the new people would prey on other alien species.

No species can eat each other, otherwise they will fall into a state of madness and chaos, called phagocytosis. In this state, the phagocytes in the body will grow exponentially, creating an extremely high load that the body cannot support, and gradually collapses and breaks into pieces.

“Maybe hunting doesn’t have to be about eating.”

Loni looked at the corpse and thought of something, then turned to the girl and said:

"You've also noticed that their hearts and organs were dug out. If the hunters were going to eat, why didn't they choose the most delicious necks?"

"Keep talking."

"Someone wants to collect these organs, and it just so happens that no matter whether they are human or alien, hearts and the like are the most nutritious." Roni expressed her speculation.

"Even the new people cannot escape the rational limits of the phagocytic cells. They cannot feed on their own kind. No matter how hungry they are, they will instinctively resist their own kind. So, apart from monsters like you, Naya, what other beings can feed on other species and replenish their nutrients?"

Loni pointed at herself, the answer was clear.

"Shang." Anya knew the answer from the beginning.

Loni nodded, walked to the corpse and squatted down, poked the hideous wound with her fingers, put it in her mouth and licked it, with a look of satisfaction on her face.

This is also the only answer. Hunting humans can satisfy the hunger of alien species, and it can also satisfy the death. Therefore, hunting alien species can only be related to the death.

The Countermeasures Bureau's follow-up team would also peel open the alien's heart and use the Devouring Sorrow to make Devouring Weapons, but they were never interested in other places. The same went for those companies that smuggled Devouring Weapons and mastered the technology to manufacture low- and medium-level Devouring Weapons. At present, the other body organs of the alien have not been tapped for effective value.

At this time, Anya raised her head and stared in one direction. Another hunt was taking place.

Roni raised her head and realized that since she was taken hunting by Naya every night, some of her nutrient storage had been replenished.

Thanks to An Ran, as the chief director, who asked the Countermeasures Bureau to give Naya the green light, they were able to move freely at night, and the executive force in some areas where aliens were highly active was significantly reduced.

Naya hunted a lot, but some of it was eaten by Ronnie, and the whole process was a bit like feeding.

Loni didn't think it was a big deal. Shang always knew how to advance and retreat. He could put aside his status and dignity. He was not as pretentious as humans. He would use necessary means, no matter how insidious or shameless, as long as they were effective. Only by giving up some things could he get more.

The "nutrients" in her body have accumulated almost enough to allow her to penetrate deep into the human dream state to change the subconscious mind and induce certain behaviors, thereby developing the evil god's business as a believer.

It is said that now she can fly solo.

But Loni knew that she could gain more by following Naya, and could also be protected from the covetous eyes of other adult Shangs, so she tactfully gave up the idea of ​​running away. Anya seemed to know this too, and was not worried that the little Loli would run away.

In order to confirm whether the hunted were all alien species, Anya went to the next place where hunting had taken place.

This time it was in the middle of the road, where the areas illuminated by the street lamps on both sides intersected with each other, creating a narrow, barely noticeable shadow in the middle of the road.

There were no cars on the road, not even a single person could be seen, it was as quiet as an empty city. Citizens all obeyed the "Nighttime Attacks by Alien and Other Terrorists" order issued by FACA and stayed at home, locking their doors and turning off the lights. Only around 11pm could people be seen in the busy areas.

Anya stood in front of the corpse and stretched out her small tentacles to turn the victim over. This time it was a woman, also an alien species that had been dug out and devoured.

There were weapons formed by phagocytes attached to the body surface of the deceased, which tried to resist.

"It's Xinmin's breath, the smell left after drinking the 'Foolish Dream' serum." Ronnie squatted on the other side of the corpse and observed.

"We're not sure if it's a coincidence." She seemed very steady. "Perhaps the two new citizens were starving to death. They are already semi-crazy monsters, and it's possible that they would attack their own kind. We should look for more."

"No need, that guy didn't get far."

Anya looked at the end of the road. There were intermittent bloodstains on the ground. It was most likely the blood of hunters who encountered strong resistance when attacking prey. The aliens were not easy to deal with. They came out at this time obviously to hunt humans and were always in the alien state.

Roni also looked over and chased after him decisively. She cared more than Anya whether this matter was related to other sorrows.

If the new citizen did not eat the Devouring Sorrow he dug up, but deliberately preserved it, it would be enough to show that his hunting was not for eating, but for collecting.

Loni stopped and looked at the figure with a serious look.

Under the street light, perhaps that is the warmest place, the man hugged Devoured Sorrow tightly, with a part of his neck missing, like a thin bamboo pole that could break at any time.

A sharp spike pierced through his chest. It was the sharp claw of the female alien that was in the middle of the road just now.

He is dead.

"My guess is correct. These newcomers who were originally fleeing are collecting organs of alien species." Roni trembled a little. What she was most worried about was the existence of other dead nearby.

"It's unbelievable. The remaining new people should be leaderless, but now they have a unified goal." Anya looked in another direction again. There were several more hunts taking place.

"The carnival may not have ended at all. Xinmin's seemingly embarrassed escape from the Coster Theater was actually the beginning of a premeditated plan."

Several tentacles broke silently and twisted into clumsy worms. Without any hesitation, they flashed into the sewer and headed in all directions.

Anya was not as worried as Ronnie, and smiled as if she heard good news.

"Why are you so happy?" Ronnie was puzzled.

"I came to the first district just for Shang, the real Shang who is a threat to everyone. Now I finally got a clue, how can I not be happy?"

Chapter 138 Virgil (I)

A factory that has been shut down for several months, with the ground littered with concrete and industrial waste.

A few mice emerged from the dry dark corners, scattering around to look for food, completely unaware of the approaching danger. An arm grabbed the mouse by the tail, still letting it thrash and struggle, with a teasing look in his eyes, enjoying the prey's fear and weakness, and then crushed it alive.

The dirty blood spilled all over the ground, and the man stuffed the shriveled mouse body into his mouth and chewed it slowly.

Cage sat on the scrap heap smoking a cigarette, carefully observing the back of the man in front of him. The man behaved strangely and abnormally, and he felt nauseous at the sight of eating a raw rat.

He suppressed his discomfort and pretended not to care, shrugging boredly when the man turned around and looked at him.

There was a sound of approaching cars in the distance. They were three unknown brands of cars that stopped steadily in front of the factory.

Cage looked over and saw several dishevelled figures getting out of the car. They went around to the back of the car, opened the trunk, and lifted out a white box containing fish.

The foul smell emanated from the fish box without any cover. It was not the smell of fish, but pure fishy smell, with a very strong smell of blood.

The man who ate the mouse walked over nonchalantly, bent down to open the lid of the box, and glanced at it indifferently, showing no satisfaction or disappointment.

"That's not enough."

"Virgil, what's in there?" Cage asked.

As the original leader of the Storm Organization, he was forced to seek shelter in the flower shop to avoid the pursuit of the violence organization after the incident with Jiu Ye, but he was just a customer of this organization. At this time, Cage's situation was very delicate. He was not a member of the flower shop, but he followed the flower shop's various actions as a partner.

The man who ate raw rats was called Virgil. He was originally the executive officer of the first district, but he led a group of members of the Blizzard Brigade to rebel and join the New Citizen Cannibal Eternal Cult.

Now Cage is acting as a partner of the flower shop, helping the flower shop to contact Xinmin and reach cooperation.

As for what cooperation is, he is not clear and does not want to know.

"It's nothing, just some seafood. Just smell the aroma, isn't it wonderful?" Virgil showed an expression of enjoyment. It was hard to believe that he was just an artificial alien, whose mental state was even more perverted than that of the aliens.

"Well..." Cage didn't want to cause trouble. He knew that Xinmin was an outlier among the alien species, so he answered perfunctorily, "It's quite tempting."

Virgil closed the fish box and looked up to signal. Several people returned to the last car and escorted out a man who was tied up. The man's mouth was sealed and he could not speak. He could only shake his head and beg with a terrified look. He was hit on the back with a stick and forced to kneel on the ground.

Cage didn't know the tied man and wasn't very familiar with the people in District One.

"Let Mr. Cage introduce himself. This is the Minister of Transportation of our First District. The name is not important." Virgil smiled and stepped on the man's head with his leg, forcing him to lower his head. His forehead hit the ground covered with metal scraps, leaving blood marks.

The man kneeling on the ground was actually the Minister of Transportation and one of the councilors of the First District Administrative Palace. He was a high-ranking official of prominent status. Although he was not so powerful that he could call the wind and rain, he was at least an important figure connecting a huge network of relationships. But at this moment, he was like a prisoner.

Cage was shocked. He was also an SSS-level Half-Sang before he was chopped down by An Xin's sword in the Third District. He did not dare to touch a high-ranking official of this level easily, otherwise it would be equivalent to declaring war directly on the federal government.

But Virgil did it, so easily, without worrying about the consequences at all. At this moment, he was like a lunatic on drugs. Not only him, but also his subordinates in the Blizzard Team Group 1 were the same. This was a freak team composed of a group of crazy artificial aliens.

The head of the Minister of Transport was almost stepped into the ground, his cervical vertebrae were about to break at any time, and the compressed nerve tubes made his consciousness quickly blurred. His struggle looked very interesting, like the struggle of a miserable dog being beaten by its owner, wanting to resist but not daring to.

When he was brought here, he was indeed severely beaten. There was no part of his body that was unharmed, and it was covered with bruises. The Minister of Transportation wanted to say something to ease his situation, but the other party did not give him a chance at all and was determined to kill him. He regretted not listening to his friends' advice and should not have turned to the Queen so quickly. The defeat of the New Citizens' Sect was just a deception. If it was true, retribution came so quickly.

"What's your grudge against him?" Cage couldn't help but ask the reason, thinking that kidnapping the Minister of Transport was too risky.

"I have no grudge against him. He was originally a member of the New Citizen Church. He was an external member who did not undergo the blood cleansing ritual and has always been a human being." Virgil picked up the sharp fragments on the ground and left a series of cuts on the Minister of Transport.

Virgil shrugged and said, "But he is a fence-sitter, and he wants to side with the Queen's branch of Tananiya. This shows extreme distrust of the church and an offense to the new people. Haha, he doesn't know that what the new people show is just an act. The Tananiya family..."

Virgil didn't continue speaking. He thought of something and turned around and said, "I guess Mr. Cage doesn't know what he wants to do now."

"The flower shop asked me to come and discuss cooperation with you, but they didn't tell me what it is."

"That's not surprising. In fact, this cooperation has nothing to do with the flower shop, but in some aspects, such as the technical level, the flower shop will provide some help." Virgil then stretched out his hand to shake hands with Cage, "And you will be responsible for the supervision task on behalf of the flower shop."

"That's good. I'm not a technician. It sounds like you are going to conduct some kind of experiment, or ritual in terms of your beliefs?" Cage didn't know if he said something wrong. He felt that the New People Cannibal Eternal Cult was a very dangerous cult, far more terrifying than the usual alien organizations.
