Skill extraction from Dragon Clan

Chapter 618 Transition Chapter

Although Femto's prank failed, the thirteen kings were still very happy and continued the banquet for a long time.

However, the theme of the subsequent banquet changed from appreciating Femto's pranks to appreciating Femto's angry face.

As the person involved, Feimto was of course very unhappy, but he couldn't stop the other animals from having fun.

So after repeated delays, the banquet lasted for a long time.

Without the main troublemaker group, Hersharemz once again returned to its "peaceful" daily life. Apart from a large number of vendettas, robberies, or the occasional terrorists who wanted to destroy the world, the days were peaceful and tranquil.

But for Stephen, the recent period has not been very good.

It’s not that Libra’s actions encountered any obstacles, but that his investigation reached a deadlock.

The previous cooperation with Inspector Daniel Lowe to destroy the underground criminal network that trafficked in humans was considered to be smooth. Although it was later disrupted by Femto's prank, overall, the results were still satisfactory.

All the underground criminal groups that the police were able to collect were eradicated. Even if there were one or two lucky cats and dogs that survived, they were frightened by the brutal actions of the mobile police and would not dare to act again in the short term.

The only regret is that although the leader of the underground criminal network, the acid warlock Gustavo, was captured, his current circumstances were too special and ordinary torture had no effect on him at all.

Even the effects of mind control techniques on him were greatly reduced, which resulted in the police being unable to obtain any useful intelligence even though they captured the leader.

To this end, Inspector Daniel Luo sent out mobile police to make up for his anger. They wiped out several underground gangs and finally felt relieved.

Both Stephen and Inspector Daniel Lowe knew very well that although Gustavo was the apparent initiator of this underground criminal network, there was definitely a darker shadow behind him.

Moreover, the underground criminal network that was eliminated this time, which mainly engaged in human trafficking, was itself just a "cover".

If such a conclusion is made public, people will only laugh at it as being fantastical. This statement feels like someone in China using (harmonious) drug trafficking as a cover to cover up other things.

Drug trafficking itself is the most serious crime in China. It is hard to imagine what other purpose would require such a heinous crime to be covered up.

The same is true for this human trafficking incident. Normally, the official department should have assumed that it had come to a successful conclusion.

Unfortunately, there is no normal person who can hold a high position in this abnormal city of Hersharemz!

Labels such as paranoia, stubbornness, eccentricity, inhumanity, and dictatorship have become the most inconspicuous characteristics of them.

It would be very uncomfortable to get along with such a person on a daily basis, but only such a person could maintain the balance between the two worlds at all times in the ever-changing Hersharemz.

Anyone who fails to understand this cannot even survive in the city of Hersharemz.

Unfortunately, the person behind this incident hid too deeply, and all conceivable evidence and clues were erased.

Moreover, Stephen and Inspector Daniel Lowe could feel during the investigation that there seemed to be a huge resistance secretly preventing them from continuing the investigation.

This made the two of them feel even more depressed. Through the secret exchange of information, they also knew the obstacles faced by the other party, so they understood the trouble of this situation even more.

After all, Stephen and Chief Inspector Daniel Lowe essentially belong to two completely different systems of Hersharemz. Both of them have been obstructed, which means that the power of the person behind the scenes spans the upper echelons of ordinary humans and the upper echelons of extraordinary forces.

"Alas... This matter is much more troublesome than I imagined..."

Putting down the documents in his hand, Stephen leaned helplessly on the sofa and pinched his nose bridge tiredly.

Although Stephen had anticipated that Gustavo might have great influence in the upper echelons when he saw him, after all, the person behind the scenes was at least a high-ranking figure in the Warlock Association, as he was able to "smuggle" this guy out of the Warlock Association's imprisonment without anyone else knowing.

But Stephen didn't expect that the person behind the scenes would be so powerful.

In fact, when he was destroying the underground network and saw a bunch of super weapons that normally could not be purchased by anyone, he had already thought that the resistance to this investigation might be high, but he did not expect it to be so high.

First of all, the fact that the super weapons that both Stephen and K.K. found difficult to deal with appeared in an underground criminal base was an abnormal situation in itself.

When Stephen first saw the reinforced protective door of the underground base, he was very angry, thinking that they had trafficked too many people to obtain so much funds.

But when many super weapons that even the police department of Hersharemz could not afford under normal circumstances appeared in the underground base, he began to feel a little strange.

Although the police station in Hersharemz is called a police station, it is essentially a military force with extremely high independence and autonomy.

Whether it is combat quality, number of people or funding, they are of course military-level.

Although humans are a very popular commodity in the other world, they are only classified as "relatively rare luxury goods" and cannot reach the level of rare treasures.

To earn so much money simply by trafficking in humans, Gustavo would have to have secretly transported all the humans in an entire small country to another world.

However, this is impossible. Inspector Daniel Lo said there is no record of a large number of outsiders entering Hersharemz.

Although a large number of people enter and leave Hersharemz every day, even if the entire country's human population is spread out over a period of half a year, there will be quite obvious changes statistically.

As for using various covert means to secretly hide people in the car and smuggle them in, that is impossible.

Although it is theoretically possible to do this using various space-related spells, this behavior cannot be hidden from the two gatekeepers of Hersharemz.

Based on the knowledge of the two door openers, let alone hiding people in cars and sneaking them into the city, even using mind control techniques to confuse them would not be able to fool them.

Of course, it is possible to sneak a person into the city through some extremely secret means, but the cost would be too high.

Similar methods are generally only used on smaller commodities with higher value, and this method certainly cannot be used on a large scale, so it is impossible to use it for human trafficking.

This makes Gustavo's source of funds seem very strange.

And for this reason, Stephen and Police Chief Daniel Lowe both felt that the other party's human trafficking was just a "cover-up" to hide a deeper secret.

"Now, this is the only clue left."

Looking at the information in his hand, Stephen also felt a headache.

The person behind the scenes handled it very cleanly, leaving no clues for Stephen to investigate. All he could find now was a small flaw left by the other party.

That was what Stephen and K.K. concluded about the fearless criminals when they captured the underground base.

"I have also contacted Police Chief Daniel Lowe, and the police department encountered the same situation when they removed other nodes.

In other words, the other party must have used a large amount of drugs that can make people violent."

Drugs are rampant in Hersharemz, with more than two thousand types of drugs circulating on the market.

Some are for humans, some are for people from other worlds, and there are even some that can be used by both. And as time goes by, the number of varieties is constantly increasing.

Trying to find the corresponding drug (or drugs) based on an inference is almost like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Fortunately, they are not completely clueless in this regard.

Stephen once found a human among the criminals, which means that after humans take this drug, they will not die immediately.

This is not alarmist, because too many aliens have innate physical fitness stronger than humans, so the potency of many drugs (harmony) in Hersharemz is also unimaginably strong.

There are also many cases of poisons that will cause the body to spontaneously combust violently after ingestion, or people's brains cannot bear the excessive pleasure after ingesting them and explode on the spot.

Moreover, the number of people involved in the Gustavo criminal group is not small, and such a large-scale shipment will definitely leave traces.

With this weak clue, Stephen and Inspector Daniel Lowe conducted a difficult investigation while trying their best not to disturb the higher-ups.

"We have checked almost all the existing types of drugs, but we haven't found anything similar. So... is it a new model?"

Stephen turned his attention to the document at hand, which recorded a new type of drug that had recently appeared in Hersharemz.

"From the effects after taking it, it is indeed very similar. During the previous battle, the feel of those humans did change significantly."

Stephen took the document in his hand and read it carefully twice, scratching his hair in distress:

"Most importantly, this method of handling clues is so similar! The problem now is... whether it is here or there, there are no clues. What should we do?"

……

……

While Stephen was in distress, Zheng Shu went to Feimto's laboratory after the banquet.

After all, he had obtained a lot of interesting information from Stephen, and by the way, he also got to know Gustavo, a strange guy. Zheng Shu was naturally eager to start research.

Unfortunately, a small accident happened this time.

"No, you can't use the lab right now."

Feimuto flatly refused, his tone was firmer than one could imagine. Zheng Shu had never seen such emotion in the cynical Feimuto.

"Uh...are you angry about what happened at the previous party?"

Zheng Shu thought back to what he had done at the banquet just now and confirmed that he should not have gone too far.

Although many things were indeed excessive for ordinary people, they were not too unpleasant for these animals. After all, even Zheng Shu smiled and said nothing about the fact that his cultivation was blocked and he was being hunted down.

However, Zheng Shu was not sure. After all, these guys had lived for so long, and maybe they had some unique little habits that he had offended unintentionally?

"If it was my fault, I am willing to apologize."

"That's not necessary. Although I was very angry at that brat from the God's Righteous Eye, I had a lot of fun these past few days."

As if recalling Leo's all-too-ordinary behavior, Fimto gritted his teeth in anger, but he quickly calmed down.

"The reason why I don't allow you to use the lab is because I'm currently conducting a very important experiment in my lab. In order to maintain the stability of the incubation environment, not only you, but even I cannot enter before the scheduled time is up."

Zheng Shu blinked his eyes. Although he didn’t quite understand what new tricks this guy had come up with, it was good to know that it wasn’t his fault.

"How long does that so-called incubation last?"

"Let me take a look..."

Feimuto stuck his butt out and rummaged around in his room, and soon found something that looked like an old-fashioned alarm clock.

"It will probably take another month." After squinting his eyes and looking carefully for a long time, Feimuto gave an uncertain time.

"So long? Never mind. I'll just go back to my own house and do my research."

Zheng Shu sighed with some regret. Fortunately, studying Gustavo did not require overly sophisticated instruments, and good experimental equipment would only shorten the research time.

Back in the house where I live now, I can do my research relying on the renovated rooms.

"What good stuff did you find?"

Fimto casually threw the timer to the android behind him and came to Zheng Shu with great interest.

After doing several researches with Zheng Shu, Feimto also knew that this guy in front of him could often come up with some unexpected good things.

For the bored Feimto, every interesting thing Zheng Shu took out could arouse his interest.

"huh huh huh huh!"

When Feimto asked this, Zheng Shu immediately smiled triumphantly, reached into his personal space and took out the ball of light that sealed Gustavo.

“Ding ding ding ding! That’s it!”

"childish!"

Having said this, Fimto snatched the ball of light from Zheng Shu's hand and carefully observed Gustavo inside.

As someone who sublimated life science into authority, Fimto naturally had extraordinary vision and quickly saw what was special about Gustavo.

"You...are so lucky!"
