Please be my partner.

At the same time, this also opened up a new idea for him.

Those professionals who deal with corpses might be able to get some potions that can keep corpses alive for a long time. He can try to buy some at the next trade fair.

In this way, once you come across a useful corpse, you can use multiple methods at the same time and avoid the trouble of frequent replacement.

Chapter 100 Follow-up

Richman and Gray were walking on the way back to the Special Affairs Bureau, both with solemn expressions.

"It seems that we need to re-examine our Special Affairs Bureau internally. We should report to the director after we return!"

"Ok!"

Isaiah appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually extremely anxious inside.

When he first received the emergency assembly notice, he didn't think much of it, after all, similar situations had happened before.

However, when he arrived at the Special Affairs Bureau and learned that the accident occurred at the Polluter stronghold where the Erosionist Jonah was in charge, he felt a pang in his heart.

Although we are anxious, as the backup force for this incident, we can only wait patiently.

It was not until late at night that the Special Affairs Bureau team that was out on a mission returned.

The members of the Special Affairs Bureau immediately surrounded them to inquire about the situation, and Isaiah took the opportunity to move closer and listen carefully.

Richman looked around, taking in everyone's expressions. Finally, he exchanged a glance with Gray and said, "It must be an internal conflict among the extraordinary. Several powerful individuals raided a polluter stronghold in the Devouring Swamp. The specific reason is unknown, but it can be considered a favor to us."

Upon hearing this, the members of the Special Affairs Bureau began to discuss...

"It's actually the Defiler stronghold of the Devouring Swamp? Aren't places like that usually garrisoned by a large number of First-Class Defilers and at least one Second-Class Corruptor?"

"Amazing! This must be a collaboration of several powerful warriors at least at the second level. I wonder who these polluter bugs offended, and what the final outcome of the battle will be."

"Didn't they say the battle didn't last long? They probably just tested each other and then stopped. Captain Richman doesn't look like he'd been in a fierce battle. I'm guessing both sides had already fled by the time we arrived."

"..."

At this moment, Richman suddenly said, "It wasn't a test, but a one-sided massacre! When we arrived, the battle was already over. The Devouring Swamp's side, including a Corruptor and numerous Polluters, were all killed!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent, and then an uproar broke out...

"What? How is this possible?!"

"Such a powerful supernatural force was destroyed so easily?!"

"The force of the Devouring Swamp is enough to capture several small towns. Could there be a third-level expert among the attackers?"

"Even if he's not at the third level, he's probably one of the strongest at the second level, and he's good at dealing with group battles."

At this moment, Richman and Gray once again took in the emotional changes of everyone present.

The next few days were calm.

Melen also paused and waited leisurely for subsequent changes.

At the same time, a simple test of the [Corrosion Ball] spell was also conducted.

Overall it's pretty good. When released, it will quickly condense into a fist-sized dark green liquid sphere.

The flying speed is only about a hundred meters per second. Fortunately, although it can only move in one direction after being released, it can be slightly guided by mental power and can be detonated independently.

Its corrosiveness and toxicity are quite high. If an ordinary first-level person does not have any countermeasures, he will quickly weaken and even lose the ability to move after being contaminated by just a little bit.

However, while he was happy about the harvest, Mellen was also a little distressed.

Originally, his method of alerting the enemy was to throw a stone into a pond to blast out all the lurking "fish".

As a result, it seems that he used too much force. The stone he threw down not only failed to blow out the hidden "fish", but also made the "fish" that were originally in the open dare not show up.

Even Isaiah, who was being led by Mellen, was well-behaved during this period, going to and from get off work on time. Except for occasional social events with colleagues, he almost stayed at home all the time.

Those polluters who were targeted by Mellen and had not yet completely lost their minds were like headless flies.

And Mellen could feel that these polluters had been targeted by the police and the Special Affairs Bureau.

This was understandable. After all, they were frequent visitors to the polluter base before it was exposed, so it was normal for them to be caught with any clues.

The reason why we didn't close the net immediately was just to see if we could get more useful clues.

Mellen would occasionally ask Liman for information from the police station. The latter looked at him with a strange look, which had changed from respect at the beginning to awe now, as if he already understood the truth.

Although Melen didn't know how he was exposed, it didn't matter. The other party also pointed out vaguely that many things were just his personal guesses and others didn't know.

This is also what Mellen admires most about Liman, knowing the limits and when to advance and retreat.

Because of Mellen's sudden attack, the power of the 'Swallowing Swamp' in the entire Vero City was reduced by at least a quarter.

At the same time, the information revealed attracted the attention of the police and the Special Affairs Bureau to them.

This forced other members of the 'Swallowing Swamp' who had not yet been exposed to the public to temporarily stop all actions and avoid the spotlight.

Factory area.

This is one of the famous places in Vero City. There are many factories here, which have caused serious pollution to the surrounding environment. The air is always filled with pungent smells. According to surveys, the average life expectancy of workers who work here all year round is five to ten years shorter than that of others.

Vero City has also thought about dealing with this issue, but unfortunately, too many interests of the upper echelons are involved, so it basically ends up in nothing every time.

In a textile factory, two invaders sat opposite each other, both with solemn expressions and silent.

After a long time, a light green liquid quickly flowed over, then extended and outlined, turning into a figure wearing a green cloak.

A deep voice rang out, "Stephen, Zarg, look at how miserable you are now, and that idiot Jonah, and in the end, I still have to clean up the mess!"

Stephen and Zarg looked at the newcomer coldly.

Stephen said, "Weren't you also driven away in disgrace a few months ago? What qualifications do you have to speak so arrogantly here now, Madeline?"

"Humph!"

Madeline snorted in disdain and pulled down her hooded cloak. If Melen were here, he would immediately recognize that the Madeline in front of him was the invader who attacked him a few months ago.

At this time, Madeline had changed drastically from before. His left face was covered with green, crack-like tattoos. There was no pupil in his left eye, completely replaced by a turbid gray. The aura he exuded also became more crazy.

Stephen and Zarg's eyes narrowed as they looked at Madeline in surprise.

Zarg trembled as he spoke, "You...you accepted the second infusion of power from the Devouring Swamp?! You lunatic!"

As we all know, the 'Swallowing Swamp' itself is a huge energy aggregate, and its power is highly polluting.

Once infected by its power, those with weak wills will be immediately bewitched and become its slaves, eventually becoming first-level polluters.

Those with strong minds can rely on their own will to forcibly resist the erosion of the "Devouring Swamp", while constantly absorbing its power for their own use. Eventually, they can withstand repeated transformations and become second-level corrosives.

Generally speaking, Eroders are the limit of what the Devouring Swamp can cultivate. Devourers above that are all originally strong third-level warriors. After reaching certain agreements with the Devouring Swamp, they can use part of the latter's power and are considered mutually beneficial allies and collaborators.

However, there is still a way for the Erosion Agent to reach a higher level, and that is... secondary infusion!

You know, although the Erosion Agent is an extension of the power of the 'Swallowing Swamp' in a nice way, to put it bluntly, it is just a more durable Polluter. As the power of the 'Swallowing Swamp' continues to erode, it will one day completely lose itself and become its nutrients.

After all, no matter how strong the human will is, there are limits.

The more power of the 'Swallowing Swamp' one possesses, the closer one is to destruction.

Therefore, the vast majority of invaders will avoid continuing to absorb the power of the 'Swallowing Swamp' and try their best to delay its erosion of themselves.

However, there is always a group of crazy people who are willing to pursue more power at all costs.

Hence the second infusion of the Devouring Swamp.

You should know that the power used in the second infusion of the 'Swallowing Swamp' is often more than ten times that of the first infusion. Nine out of ten people who receive the second infusion will collapse on the spot.

Even those who managed to get through it became half crazy.

Of course, although doing so is extremely dangerous and costly, the rewards once successful are unimaginable.

Not only can he reach the peak of the second level, but with the nearly infinite energy granted by the 'Swallowing Swamp', he can easily deal with some third-level strongmen.

Moreover, more importantly, according to the Devourers, the essence of the 'Swallowing Swamp' is actually a taboo. If one can accept the infusion of its power time and time again and always maintain oneself, one may eventually become the master of the 'Swallowing Swamp'!

This act of infusing strength again and again is itself a ritual.

Of course, no one has been able to confirm this so far.

One of Madeline's eyes was cloudy and deep, while the other was chaotic and crazy. Just by staring at Stephen and Zarg, she felt a huge sense of oppression.

Stephen and Zarg finally lowered their heads and dared not confront him anymore.

Madeline smiled with satisfaction and said, "From today on, I have the final say in Vero City. The plan continues!"

Stephen and Zarg exchanged a glance, and the former said with a stiff upper lip, "The demonic blood in Jonah's body has also been lost. Now we..."

Madeline's eyes turned cold as she said, "Useless! Immediately mobilize our forces and find those damned attackers as quickly as possible. I'm going to make them know the price of being my enemy."

Zarge sighed and said, "But now the entire Vero City police station and the Special Affairs Bureau are looking for us. Any disturbance will attract their attention. To avoid losses, we can only lie low for the time being."

The madness in Madeline's eyes gradually faded, and he looked thoughtful.

After a moment, he asked, "I remember we had spies in both the police station and the Special Affairs Bureau, right? How's it going now?"

Stephen said, "Only one of the police's leads is the most deeply hidden and hasn't been exposed yet. On the Special Affairs Bureau's side, there are only two left now. One of them was originally in contact with Jonah. The Special Affairs Bureau is currently conducting a thorough and secret investigation, and it seems that the other party is about to be able to hide. After all, once Jonah gets into trouble, many clues are completely undetectable."

Hearing this, Madeline's lips curled up into a smile.

Seeing this, Zarge asked, "Madeline... My Lord, have you thought of anything?"

Madeline said, "Since both the police and the Special Affairs Bureau want to take action against us, we will take advantage of their tactics and chop off all their outstretched claws."

He added meaningfully, "That hidden clue that's about to be exposed is a good bait."

…………

A quiet life is not bad.

Mellen initially viewed the search for missing persons as a clue to finding polluters and eroders.

Although he received news from Isaiah later, he did not stop this activity.

Because Spike and Xiao Honglian do have an innate advantage in finding people.

Looking at those people who seemed pitiful and helpless because their family members were lost, Mellen certainly knew that he could not save everyone, but if it was not too troublesome, he would help if he could.

Moreover, in this process, not only can you rob the rich and help the poor, but you can also occasionally get some connections with the extraordinary and gain some extra benefits.

Compared with Mellen's leisurely attitude, Isaiah seemed a little nervous.

Although nothing had changed from usual, Isaiah's keen perception told him that things were heading for the worst.

It wasn't until after get off work one day that he discovered that members of the Special Affairs Bureau were monitoring him!

Although according to his later observations, this observation should be universal and not strong.

But he still panicked.

Because, although he had acted as carefully as possible in the past, he inevitably left some clues.

Once a behemoth like the Special Affairs Bureau starts investigating him with all its might, he doesn't think he can hide it for long.

When he got home, he first checked the few inconspicuous simple mechanisms he had set up, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that they had not been touched.

The fact that they didn't break into his house to investigate showed that the suspicion and investigation of him were still in the initial stage, which meant that he still had time.

Taking a deep breath, Isaiah locked all the doors in the house, then went into the bathroom and locked the door as well.

He unscrewed the hot water pipe and began to fill the bathtub with water. He then took out a small bottle of medicine and poured it into the drain.

A moment later, a ball of green, sticky liquid crawled out of the drainpipe and landed on the mirror in front of Isaiah.

Arranged to look like a line of handwriting...

"It seems that you agree to our conditions?"

Isaiah said in a deep voice, "I can promise you this, but you must also agree to my conditions. The most important point is that you must promise to escort me out of the Kingdom of Crow. I know you have considerable influence in other countries!"

The book Slime Without Hesitation wrote...

'make a deal!'

Chapter 101: Pursuit and Bait

"Bang!~"

Dawei, director of the Vero City Special Affairs Bureau, slammed his fist on the desk.

He didn't expect that under his management, such a big mistake would occur in the Vero City Special Affairs Bureau.
