He still felt a little uneasy, so he reread the mission information.
The mission temporarily issued by Old Tie looked no different from other missions, except for a number '1' added at the front, which was not very noticeable among the pile of tasks.
It's worth mentioning the missions in the hall.
Since the number of people started to increase, the receivable tasks displayed on the screen also increased by several pages. Li Zhonglou initially wondered where the General Bureau got so much enemy information, but after a careful look, he understood.
Although there were several pages of new missions, only about ten were actually for Shangjing. The rest were scattered across the country, and many explicitly stated that the information source was from decades ago.
This time, the General Bureau seemed to have dug out its entire old database.
The mission he accepted from Old Tie was to capture someone named Tiangou.
Tiangou: Male, forty-one years old, reached the third level ten years ago, member of the Divine Envoy organization.
There was also a mugshot. He looked relatively honest and reliable, but his criminal record was horrifying.
He was wanted for murder at the age of eleven. When he was discovered again at thirty, he was a teacher in a small town, and during that time, he committed eleven more murders!
The key was that all cases were proven with solid evidence, and he himself had confessed to them!
What was truly chilling was that he disappeared the day before his scheduled execution and was only rediscovered a year ago, active internationally. It was only then that the General Bureau publicly disclosed his murder cases.
A total of thirty-two cases were involved, including twenty-six instances of wiping out entire families, thirteen instances of forceful killings, with the death toll exceeding a hundred people! The youngest victim was only three months old. The case that most impacted society was that of an eleven-year-old girl.
Li Zhonglou still remembered seeing this news when he was a child!
After reviewing the information sent by the system, Li Zhonglou's eyes turned icy.
"More money, and I can eliminate a scourge for the people. It's a win-win."
Muttering, Li Zhonglou called his third brother to drive over.
The mission information did not provide a detailed address, only stating that the last place he appeared was a small town called Cha Bridge, which also belonged to Shangjing, but was located in a somewhat remote area.
In fact, when Li Zhonglou saw that this beast named Tiangou was part of the so-called Divine Envoy organization, he understood one thing: although the mission given by Old Tie this time lacked detailed information, it wasn't entirely without clues. At least, he was investigating step by step through this method.
Because Old Tie had said that the granddaughter of his brother had joined an anti-government organization called the Divine Envoy!
It was an international organization that opposed not only the Chinese government but also other governments. In their eyes, only their own organization was truly worth existing in this world.
In Li Zhonglou's opinion, they were no longer just an anti-government organization but a thoroughly anti-human organization, aiming to create their own society.
"It seems that to investigate this organization thoroughly within a month, I can only take a gamble."
Li Zhonglou murmured. After getting into his third brother's car, he focused his attention on the soul bottle he carried with him.
"Elder An, are there any other candidates you can recommend? This time, we might need to use reincarnation directly."
"Yes, Cai Hong."
Elder An seemed to have been waiting for him to speak. Cai Hong was not a woman, but an elder who had entered the Lost Land with him.
So, when he uttered these two words, discussions immediately arose within the soul bottle.
"Brother Cai Hong wants to reincarnate too?"
"It seems that staying too long makes people lose the will to live."
"Even Senior Cai Hong can't hold on anymore."
Strangely, although Li Zhonglou couldn't glean much information from their words, he could clearly hear the respect they held for him.
This senior named Cai Hong seemed to have a story?
"Okay, I have no problem with it."
Li Zhonglou didn't think much of it. Then Elder An asked Cai Hong to come out for familiarity and integration.
Soon, a soul aura entered his body through the soul bottle.
"Hello."
Cai Hong greeted him proactively. Li Zhonglou quickly replied, "Senior, please don't be so formal. Just call me Xiao Li."
They were all people from a hundred or even several hundred years ago. Li Zhonglou still showed them respect. After all, he had learned from Elder An at the beginning that these people inside knew nothing about the Chinese War.
This meant that there were no perpetrators from that era among them.
"Alright, Xiao Li." Cai Hong was not a reserved person, and his voice was quite deep and resonant.
"What should we do next?"
Li Zhonglou explained the process, and Cai Hong quickly succeeded in the soul integration.
"It's power amplification."
Elder An's voice sounded at the right time. This was considered a common characteristic, but Li Zhonglou wasn't very concerned, and power amplification was quite comprehensive and applicable.
After the integration, Cai Hong saw the outside world for the first time, especially the tall buildings through the car window, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"It turns out what Xiao Lin said was true. The current world is much more glorious and prosperous than our time."
Li Zhonglou smiled and said, "Senior Cai Hong, you'll soon find that there isn't much difference. People are still the same people as hundreds of years ago, with the same schemes and calculations."
"That's true. But you've gotten used to it. To me, this scenery is also a symbol of human civilization."
Li Zhonglou didn't say anything more. He wasn't too interested in the heights of human civilization. Sometimes, the higher people placed themselves, the more detached they became. He just wanted the people around him to be happy and safe.
Cai Hong watched the scenery for a full ten minutes before reluctantly withdrawing. Li Zhonglou didn't rush him. The souls were not his tools, but partners, so he had enough patience.
Three hours later, the third brother's car finally exited the highway and turned onto a small country road.
Li Zhonglou glanced at the mobile map. They were only a few kilometers away from the town. To avoid missing the target, he immediately merged with Wen Yi.
Activating the Heavenly Eye Perspective divine ability, Li Zhonglou carefully observed his surroundings.
Until the third brother parked the car in the center of the town.
"Boss, where do we go now?"
Li Zhonglou sighed. His continuous observation hadn't spotted the target person, and it was likely they had already left.
After getting out of the car, Li Zhonglou instructed his third brother, "You go back first. I have some things to do here."
"Okay."
The third brother didn't ask any further questions and drove away directly.
Although the Heavenly Eye Perspective divine ability hadn't spotted the person, he still needed to find clues. At worst, he would just spend more time.
It was at this moment that Li Zhonglou realized he might have fallen into the old man's trap.
