Please be my partner.

Henry looked even more haggard at this time, but his eyes were bright and he looked extremely excited.

Mellen asked with concern: "You look terrible now, are you okay?"

Henry said in a hoarse voice: "No, I'm fine now, better than ever!"

Melen was helpless. He had no way to deal with this research maniac who was immersed in his own world.

But perhaps it is precisely this kind of selfless immersion that enables the top talents in various industries to create achievements time and time again that are enough to shock the world.

At Henry's urging, Mellen did not delay any further and directly let Spike drink the potion handed to him by the former.

Suddenly, Spike's aura began to boil.

However, perhaps because Spike's own strength has increased so much during this period, the effect of the rage potion has become much smaller.

And with the effect of [Unyielding Will], the potion had no effect on its mental state at all.

This allows Spike to more clearly control the effects of the potion and narrate it more precisely.

After Henry and Spike finished their conversation as relayed by Mellen, Henry paced back and forth continuously, as if he was thinking and calculating something quickly.

After a long time, he let out a long breath, quickly said "wait a moment", and without paying attention to Mellen's reaction, ran straight to his laboratory.

Melen and Salim looked at each other and waited patiently.

An hour later, Henry walked out of the laboratory. Although he looked more tired, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Henry shook the potion in his hand and said, "I just figured out the last key to the rage potion. It should be fine this time."

Mellen asked, "Should we let Spike drink it and see?"

Henry shook his head and said with emotion, "Spike is too special. Although he can help me experiment with the potion, his actual effects are not very valuable for reference."

Then, the three of them came to the backyard.

Here, Melen actually saw an 'old acquaintance'...

Tabby cat, big mouse, extraordinary toad.

Among them, the tabby cat was free and at ease. When it saw Henry, it immediately came over and meowed, as if it had been well-fed.

The latter two are still kept in cages.

Mellen's first task was to subdue them after they drank the rage potion.

Although Henry needs to conduct experiments on medicines here, it can be seen that the food conditions here are quite good. The original little cat has gained weight, the big rat is also shiny, and the extraordinary toad is lying there lazily, losing interest in the objects swaying in front of it, and it looks like it is full.

They seemed to still remember the experience of being "beaten" by Spike, and became obviously fearful and uneasy when they saw the dog.

Henry fed the berserk potion to the cat. Although the cat became agitated after taking it, it obviously still retained its rationality and did not show any aggression towards Henry, its owner.

Henry smiled and nodded, indicating that this represented the successful development of the berserk potion.

After all, the original purpose of this potion was to serve the beastmaster's pet, not to feed it to unfamiliar wild creatures.

Afterwards, the big rat and the extraordinary toad also drank the potion. Under Spike's power, they did not dare to act rashly and cooperated with Henry obediently to complete the final data collection.

At this point, the berserk potion was successfully developed.

As for further improving the effectiveness of the medicine and reducing side effects, that will be a matter for the future.

Henry said with emotion: "Thank you very much, my friend. Without your and Spike's help, I don't know how much longer it would have taken."

Mellen said seriously: "We just did some insignificant things. It was you who actually developed the potion!"

Henry chuckled and said modestly, "Of course!"

Then he added, "I will report the Rage Potion to the Beastmaster Alliance as soon as possible and apply for the formula for the Intermediate Pet Growth Potion. If nothing goes wrong, I can get everything done within a week."

"When the time comes, I will keep my promise and, without exceeding the limits of the Beast Tamer Alliance contract, I will prioritize selling you the intermediate-level pet growth potion I've prepared at cost."

"it is good!"

Melen nodded with a smile, but this time he didn't say thank you or anything like that.

After leaving Henry, Mellen stretched and felt very good.

It’s like the seeds that have been watered with great effort are finally about to bloom and bear fruit.

As dinner time was approaching, they went to the seafood restaurant where they had a good experience last time.

Except for Spike who was a little depressed and didn't like eating fish very much, Melen, Salim and Xiao Honglian all enjoyed the meal very much.

There was no words for the rest of the night.

The next morning, just as Mellen was about to start his daily exercise, the vibration of the contact metal plate interrupted his movements.

He looked at the words on the metal plate, then looked at the dim sky, and sighed helplessly.

When I arrived at the entrance of the college, I saw Salim wearing the uniform of the Special Affairs Bureau.

Melen said speechlessly: "You just said that the world is peaceful yesterday, and now you have a mission? You are a jinx!"

Salim looked solemn and did not respond.

Mellen was startled, and stopped joking. He asked seriously, "Is this mission very troublesome?"

Salim nodded and said, "Five people died last night. They died in the same way, and they were all young children!"

"More importantly, around the same time those five children died, the Special Affairs Bureau's [Fortune Teller] received a prophecy. This is just the beginning. If the person behind this isn't caught, people will die at the same time every night, and the number will be five times the previous day!"

Mellen's expression also became solemn.

If the prophecy is true, it means that 25 people will die today, 125 people tomorrow, and 625 people the day after tomorrow!

If the death toll continues to accumulate like this, it will exceed 10 million on the tenth day.

Although it is not known whether the person behind the scenes is really capable of doing such a thing, in this world of the extraordinary and mystery, nothing can be taken lightly.

What's more, let alone waiting until the tenth day, if hundreds or thousands of people really died, the entire Kro Kingdom would be in chaos.

Salim said, "Director Osama has issued a strict order. The person behind this must be found at all costs, preferably before tonight, and no later than tomorrow!"

Chapter 83 Mirror Puppet

On the way, Mellen asked about the details of the incident.

Unfortunately, because the incident happened suddenly, Salim's knowledge was limited, so he could only go to the scene first and then make a detailed analysis.

The five dead children were scattered throughout Roland City. Apart from their age of eleven or twelve, they had no other similarities.

Soon, the two arrived at Sixth Avenue, and after seeing the uniform on Salim, the police officers who were blocking the street immediately let them pass.

Soon, the two saw the parents of the child in the accident.

His father was an executive at Kingdom Bank, and even in Roland City, he had a good income. His mother was a retired dancer, quite beautiful, who had stopped working a long time ago and was a full-time housewife taking care of the household.

The two of them went to the scene first. The dead person was a little boy in the bathroom.

The boy was wearing pajamas covered in blood and holding a small wooden knife in his hand, which was probably the murder weapon.

His death was extremely tragic. The lower part of his cheek was cut by countless wounds with a wooden knife. It was completely rotten beyond recognition and even his tongue was crushed.

It is hard to imagine the pain and torture this child suffered before his death.

Mellen took a deep breath and observed the overall environment of the bathroom. After seeing the water cup on the sink, he said, "It looks like the child was washing up when something unexpected happened."

For some reason, he always felt that something was wrong in the bathroom, but he couldn't tell what it was.

Salim nodded and went into the bathroom to search carefully.

Mellen did not enter the bathroom, but touched the sensor brooch, which did not respond at all, which seemed to indicate that there was no trace of evil energy here.

But this is not absolute. In the extraordinary and mysterious world, anything can happen.

After a long time, Salim came out of the bathroom.

Mellen asked, "Did you find anything?"

Salim shook his head and said, "Let's go ask the child's parents."

At this time, the child's parents are in a very bad state...

My father was wearing formal clothes, but his clothes were extremely messy, and his hair was tied into a bird's nest shape by himself. He looked extremely remorseful and kept muttering things like "I should have come home earlier" and "I shouldn't have been socializing outside."

The mother's eyes were red, swollen and bloodshot, and her tears seemed to have dried up. She curled herself up in a corner, looking extremely sad.

Salim was silent for a moment, then he asked, "Sir, Madam, I deeply sympathize with your child's death, but please put aside your sorrow and tell me exactly what happened, word for word."

The parents seemed to be immersed in their own world and did not react much to Salim's words.

Salim added, "There's a mastermind behind this. You don't want the person who killed your child to still be at large, right?"

After hearing this, the child's father finally reacted. He glanced at his wife, then looked at Salim with bloodshot eyes. He spoke slowly and clearly, "I will tell you everything I know. Please make sure to catch the murderer who killed little Willen!"

Salim said solemnly: "That's why we are here!"

After the child's father explained the situation, Melen and Salim understood what had happened. Overall, it wasn't complicated...

Around 10 o'clock last night, his mother called little Weilun to wash up and go to bed, and little Weilun went obediently.

Normally, it is no problem for a child of eleven or twelve to wash and dress by himself, and little Willen usually does the same, so his mother goes about her own business.

But after waiting for half an hour, the mother found that little Weilun still had not returned to the room to sleep, and she felt a little strange.

When she found the bathroom, she discovered that her son had died in such a tragic way, and she fainted immediately.

After the social event, the father returned home at almost 12 o'clock. Seeing no one to greet him, he thought his wife and children were already asleep, so he tiptoed to the bedroom. However, when he passed the bathroom, he saw his son's tragic death and his wife fainted.

Then, the father suppressed his despair and sadness, immediately called the police, and also asked a private doctor to come.

Salim pondered for a moment, then looked at his mother and asked, "Madam, what were you doing while your child was washing?"

The mother said with a choked voice: "I'm... I'm in the bedroom... sorting out clothes..."

Salim recalled the layout of the room and continued, "The question I'm going to ask is crucial. Please think carefully before answering..."

"When you were sorting your clothes in the bedroom, was the door closed?"

Mother shook her head.

"So..." Salim asked seriously, "Did you notice any unusual movements, like struggling or screaming in pain, or any other unusual sounds?"

The mother's expression became painful, and she seemed unwilling to recall the past. However, after thinking carefully for a moment, she shook her head slightly and said, "No, I didn't hear any unusual sounds at the time."

Salim nodded and said, "Thank you for your answer."

The mother stopped talking and continued to shrink into the corner.

The two walked aside.

Mellen himself didn't have any detective skills, and even if he did, they wouldn't necessarily be useful in this extraordinary and mysterious world.

Anyway, he didn't find any useful information among the current chaotic and scattered intelligence.

So he asked Salim directly: "How is it? Any clues?"

Salim sighed, "What a mess."

After a pause, Salim asked, "Did you notice something is missing from the bathroom?"

'Something's missing?!'

The feeling of disharmony I had felt in the bathroom earlier flashed by quickly, and vaguely, the answer seemed to be about to emerge.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and Mellen's eyes lit up as he said, "Toothbrush? It's a toothbrush!!"

He suddenly remembered that the little boy named Willen was clearly washing up, and there was a cup of water on the sink, but no toothbrush.

Could it be that……

Mellen asked in surprise, "The wooden knife in the boy's hand was originally supposed to be a toothbrush? And then it changed for some reason?!"

Salim nodded gravely and said, "It's quite possible! Being able to change the form of matter without being noticed, whether it's the ability of a transcendent profession or a transcendent item, is quite troublesome."

Mellen asked, "What do we do now?"

Salim shook his head slightly and said, "Wait!"

"Wait?!" Mellen asked doubtfully, "Wait for what?"

Salim explained, "We'll wait for the other kids to gather information. If we only have our own intelligence, it will be too one-sided."

"Furthermore, it's not just the Special Affairs Bureau and the police station that are mobilized on a large scale. Influenced by the prophecy of the Fortune Teller, many mysterious departments have also taken action. We are just one of them."

"Although the predictions of the Diviners are often completely untrue, this incident is so shocking that no one dares to gamble. So, don't put too much pressure on yourself."
