The spiritual bodies turned into a flood of memories, washing over Zhang Yuanqing's consciousness. He saw fragmented scenes, witnessing the brief lives of two psychics. Well, significant events in their lives.

When a person dies, the spiritual body becomes incomplete, and the memory fragments are also incomplete, retaining only the more profound events in life, and memories close to the time of death.

One of the psychics, the Mantis Man, was a fallen law enforcer. In his youth, he was full of enthusiasm, vowing to fight gambling and drugs to the death, and maintaining an attitude towards pornography.

Later, he discovered that his superiors were a protective umbrella, his colleagues were accomplices, and he was falsely accused and imprisoned for refusing to collude with them. He had a profound awakening in prison, abandoning morality and conscience, embracing the darkness, and becoming a voodoo master.

"So, we must harmonize with the world." Zhang Yuanqing suddenly recalled the words of Sun, the psychologist from the Songhai branch.

Extreme people are like this; once their faith collapses, they quickly turn to the dark side, becoming more depraved than anyone else.

But those who harmonize with the world are different. They have seen the darkness, their minds are clear, and they become more firm and stable.

"But harmonizing with the world doesn't suit my personality." Zhang Yuanqing muttered to himself, continuing to absorb the spiritual fragments.

A few seconds later, he completely absorbed the memory fragments, his face full of joy.

He found several very important pieces of intelligence. First, the locations of the Spiritual Alliance's strongholds, a total of six, excluding the major strongholds with Masters stationed there. The remaining five strongholds gathered many of the Spiritual Alliance's controlled underworld forces. Second, there were indeed traces of Pluto.

A Spiritual Alliance transcendent had reported to the Rat Man that strange phenomena had occurred in the Xishan area of a certain stronghold. Several criminals scouting the environment entered the mountains and went missing, and when found, they were almost asleep because of days of water and food deprivation.

This meant that Pluto had indeed appeared, and sleep was indeed his weakness.

Pluto, newly arrived, chose to dissolve his class traits (at a cost) in the deep mountains and old forests. Sleep was indeed his weakness.

Unfortunately, Pluto should have woken up and left.

This memory happened three days ago, and because it wasn't long ago, it didn't dissipate after death, and the remaining spirit still remembered it.

"Pluto's next sleep time is in seven days. If there are more instances of widespread living beings falling asleep, we should be able to use military satellites to locate him. I should ask Fu Qingyang for help." Zhang Yuanqing's eyes lit up.

No wonder the Spiritual Alliance was forced into a desperate situation, having to sneak into the mainland.

The Free Federation's spy satellites are the best in the world, able to see wherever they want. Pluto probably needs to move his base of operations a long distance after each sleep, otherwise he would definitely be observed by satellites.

"Uh, but if it's a deep mountain forest, even if there are sleeping animals, the trees can cover it up, and the satellite may not be able to locate him. But having a clue is better than having no clue. At least I know where he was three days ago. I'll go to Xishan tomorrow to see if this guy left any DNA." He took out his phone and dialed Kou Beiyue's number.

After two rings, the call connected, and Kou Beiyue's groggy voice came from the speaker: "What are you doing in the middle of the night?" He was obviously awakened by the phone call.

"I need to ask you something," Zhang Yuanqing said. "Are you familiar with that Wandering Vagabond?"

"Not familiar, he beat me."

"Says the guy who hasn't been beaten by him."

"You..." Kou Beiyue gnashed his teeth for a while, then obediently replied, "I only know that he's from Guangxi Province, from a poor place, an orphan. Well, I think he's an orphan. He's got a weird, selfish personality, very unlikeable."

"Don't keep calling it a poor place. You're just a native of a prefecture-level city. Where do you get the sense of superiority? I'm from Songhai, where everyone in the country is just a bumpkin, and I'm not saying anything." Zhang Yuanqing spoke in a tone of a father lecturing his son.

From Guangxi Province. So that's where that guy's hometown is. Zhang Yuanqing pondered for a moment, "Do you think he's reliable? Could he have secretly fallen? I remember at Master Wuhen's sutra lecture, his heart was extremely twisted and bloodthirsty."

An evil class is an evil class after all. Even if they are good-hearted, the probability of falling is greater than that of orderly practitioners. They are constantly stimulated by external factors, and they might fall.

A place like the border, full of criminals, is easy to fall into.

"Yuanshi Tianzun, don't you dare insult my friend!" Kou Beiyue said angrily.

"Say that again!"

"Yuanshi Tianzun, don't you dare... what you said might be reasonable, but I want to explain a few things."

"Okay, I'll give you a chance to explain."

Kou Beiyue said, "I'm not familiar with him, but Master Wuhen's teachings can resolve people's inner grievances and obsessions. Whether he secretly fell before or not, he definitely won't now."

"Understood!" Zhang Yuanqing hung up the phone.

"Oh, right, Xiao Yuan said you're building automatons. Can you, um, can I try them out for you?" Kou Beiyue still couldn't bring himself to ask him directly, so he used a more subtle approach.

...

After speaking, Yuanshi Tianzun didn't reply for a long time. He looked closely at the phone screen and was furious.

"Hung up? Damn it, what does this guy take me for, using me and then throwing me away?" Lying on the bed, Kou Beiyue kicked his legs in anger.

Zhang Yuanqing had just hung up the phone when footsteps came from the corridor. The green-painted iron door of the dormitory opened, and Little Green Tea skipped in, dragging a suitcase, looking around with great interest.

"Wow, are we all living here? Brother, are you living here too?" She didn't seem to have lived in such a simple dormitory before, and she was quite interested.

Behind her were Queen and Annie.

Xie Lingxi quickly grabbed the bunk next to Zhang Yuanqing, sniffed the pillow and bedding, and frowned, "It hasn't been used for a long time. It has a stuffy smell."

"Just deal with it, miss!" Zhang Yuanqing said unhappily.

"Okay, whatever brother says." Xie Lingxi smiled sweetly.

"Just don't crawl into brother's bed in the middle of the night," Queen scoffed from the side. She also wanted this bunk, but this girl snatched it first.

Annie opened her suitcase and took out disposable face towels, toiletries, a nightgown, and so on.

Women are particular about exquisiteness, and the more beautiful a woman is, the more exquisite she is.

Zhang Yuanqing lay on the bed, with his hands behind his head, and said, "Tell me, what have you found out?"

"A dilapidated little county town with a very poor economy, but a lot of drug addicts," Queen said first. "We went to bars, KTVs, and other nightclubs and found a lot of people using drugs, a lot of petty theft, and a law enforcement environment like in the 1980s and 1990s."

"It's normal for a border city to be a little chaotic," Zhang Yuanqing nodded.

"There should be a lot of Spirit Realm practitioners at the Transcendent stage. We went to six nightclubs, and three of them had Spirit Realm practitioners stationed there," Xie Lingxi continued.

"Did you cause trouble?" Zhang Yuanqing said. Spirit Realm practitioners at the Transcendent stage are not much different from ordinary people when they are not using their abilities, at least not to the naked eye.

"We don't need to cause trouble. With our beauty, as long as we walk around a nightclub, there will be a swarm of admirers, except for some blind guy who turns a blind eye to us." Queen gestured to her voluptuous and tall figure and hummed twice.

"Blind guys can pretend to be asleep and let you violate them, but you can't grasp the opportunity," Zhang Yuanqing said. "Anything else?"

"There are more folk practitioners in Nanming City than in the branch," Annie said seriously. "The people in this branch are in danger. They can easily be followed when they go to and from work, and then their addresses can be found."

Zhang Yuanqing sighed, "So most of them choose to live in the dormitory, afraid to go home for ten years."

There are many teammates in the dormitory, and there are also guns, plus there are many law enforcers who are ordinary people. Evil professions have to weigh whether their strength is enough, or whether their moral value is enough.

When they are weak, using the lives of ordinary people to make the enemy hesitant is wise and helpless.

Xie Lingxi frowned, "The more chaotic the place, the weaker the official forces. The more prosperous the place, the more strong people there are!"

"You're a strong person, and you don't want to stay in the backwoods either," Queen said.

"Do you think I don't know this?" Little Green Tea pouted and said, "Brother, when we catch the wanted criminals, can we clean up this place?"

Annie frowned, "No, we'll catch the wanted criminals first. That's the main purpose of our trip."

"That's your main purpose." Xie Lingxi was young, but her words were sharp. "Whether we catch the wanted criminals or not, we won't lose much, but cleaning up the criminals on the border is more meaningful to us. Of course, you don't care whether the border's law and order is good or not, since this isn't your country."

"Okay, we'll do both. We'll do both steadily," Zhang Yuanqing interrupted the two girls' argument with a slogan, "I've already found a clue to the wanted criminal."

Annie's face lit up. She didn't expect Mr. Yuanshi to be so efficient, and she had more confidence in catching Pluto.

Zhang Yuanqing told the three girls about the situation he learned from the spirit reading and asked, "If we attack him while he's asleep, can we do it without fail?"

Annie shook her head slightly, "Within his domain, all living things below his level will fall asleep, and those at the same level will experience strong drowsiness. Unless we can attack remotely, but he's not completely defenseless when he's asleep. His domain will automatically detect danger and wake him up. After forcibly waking up, he will enter a brief state of weakness. Let me think, at level six, the weakness state is ten minutes."

"Ten minutes should be enough for me to kill him, oh no, capture him alive." Zhang Yuanqing suddenly stopped talking because he had captured the signal transmitted by Ichikawa Mei.

Next to the Law Enforcement Department, in the underground parking garage of a residential area.

The Truth Seeker, who had just finished the memorial service, entered the underground parking garage along the gentle slope with a gloomy expression.

It was late at night, and the parking garage was quiet and empty. The snow-white lights illuminated the spacious space.

The Truth Seeker stopped in a secluded corner, looked around, and said in a deep voice, "You're too late. Many brothers died because of it. They shouldn't have died."

A voice came from behind a pillar, hoarse and low, "There was an accident on the road."

"How many families lost their backbone because of your accident?" The Truth Seeker said angrily, "Can you take responsibility?"

"Heh, I only care about your life and death. What do I care about other people's lives?" The voice behind the pillar sneered, "I'm here to tell you that the Fire Master who saved you is not simple."

"Of course he's not simple. A level six Saint. Not a Fire Master. Claims to be the Sanqing Daozu, but the Songhai branch has no record of him." The Truth Seeker had already investigated and said calmly, "He's here on a secret mission. I can't confirm whether it's related to you yet. Don't contact me for the next few days."

After a pause, he tentatively asked, "Did you cause any trouble during the days you were away?"

"What? Afraid I'll implicate you?" The voice behind the pillar sneered.

The Truth Seeker's expression was stern, "I'm afraid I can't save you."

The voice behind the pillar was silent for a moment, and his tone softened. "Don't worry, I didn't cause any trouble outside. I'm here today to remind you that there's a very powerful Wraith Spirit next to that Fire Master. Even I'm afraid of it."

The Truth Seeker was shocked, "A Wraith Spirit stronger than you?"

He wasn't surprised that the Fire Master could control Wraith Spirits. Wraith Spirits weren't only controlled by Night Wanderers. They could also be controlled with items.

He was surprised that the other party hadn't shown his full strength last night.

Next, the words of the person hiding in the dark surprised the Truth Seeker again.

"It found me."

"This..." The Truth Seeker's pupils shrank.

"Don't worry, it just found me. It will probably think of me as a member of the Spiritual Alliance. For no reason, it won't associate me with you," the man said. "Of course, you better pray that he's a Fire Master. If he's a Scout, your problem may have already been discovered by him."

"I see." The Truth Seeker thought for a while, "If he's not here for you, then what's his purpose in coming to Nanming City?"

"I don't know. If there's nothing else, I'll..."

The voice behind the pillar suddenly changed, "You're being followed." As soon as the words fell, a high-pitched whistle erupted from behind the pillar, so sharp that it seemed to pierce eardrums.

Mental attack.

But in the next second, a more powerful and sharper mental force raged, which was the mental attack issued by the Wraith Spirit, directly overwhelming the former's attack.

The Truth Seeker instantly had tinnitus and a splitting headache, and warm blood gushed out of his nostrils.

But the swordsman's iron will allowed him to suppress the pain of mental tearing and immediately summoned his long sword, making a fighting stance.

"That's it, the Wraith Spirit next to that Fire Master," the voice behind the pillar sounded again, mixed with pain.

The Truth Seeker's face changed drastically, even with some despair.

His collusion with the evil profession had been discovered, discovered by the high-level deacon from the Songhai branch.

He only had two paths: one was to join forces with his partner to kill and silence them. The second was to confess and leave his current position, accepting punishment from headquarters.
