Chapter 87 [86] Impressive New Recruit

The Sixth Outpost has a total of thirty-two patrol officers and five domesticated feather beasts.

When the first batch of patrol officers rushed to Zhengqi Ward, they rode away on all the feather beasts.

Long Xingyun's team belonged to the second wave of reinforcements and could only travel by sleigh.

However.

It wasn't snow beasts pulling the sleigh.

It was—spirit mastiffs.

"Woof! Woof!"

The dogs barked incessantly as they ran wildly, pulling the sleigh at a great speed.

"Jingle!"

Two patrol officers vigorously rang the warning bells, reminding pedestrians to get out of the way.

Xiong Yuan, Kang Ziyan, and several other students, seeing how fast the sleigh was moving, looked nervous, fearing that it would crash into something and overturn.

Cheng Han, on the other hand, remained calm, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Long Xingyun watched all of this coldly, taking it all in, and shook his head almost imperceptibly.

They were all students, so why was there such a big difference?

Ten minutes later.

The dogs dragged the sleigh to the scene.

The person who encountered the strange phenomenon was a young prostitute.

Last night, this young lady worked diligently overtime, walking a long night road home. As a result, after getting up today, she found a dark shadow under her feet, which immediately scared her half to death.

Cheng Han deliberately went over to take a look.

The prostitute was isolated in her own bedroom, her slender body trembling, her unadorned face pale.

It was past three o'clock in the afternoon, the room was bright, without a trace of darkness, and even under the bed was clearly visible.

And under this woman's feet, there was indeed a faint black shadow, shaking as the prostitute trembled, much like a shadow at noon in another time and space.

It was—a strange shadow.

Two patrol officers stood guard as if facing a formidable enemy.

They raised their heads slightly, staring intently at the prostitute, trying their best to avoid looking at the strange shadow.

This was the simplest and most effective measure to avoid transmission.

Xiong Yuan, Kang Ziyan, and others, seeing their class monitor going over, also wanted to follow and see what was happening.

Long Xingyun reached out to stop them, and said bluntly: "You'll only cause trouble for everyone if you go over. Just stay here obediently."

The others exchanged glances, all looking embarrassed.

At this time.

The two patrol officers, discovering Cheng Han standing at the door, repeatedly shouted.

"Without permission, no one is allowed to enter the isolation zone. Who let you come over?"

"Get out of here!"

Long Xingyun, who had followed, helped explain: "It's okay! This kid is very strong. This strange shadow isn't powerful, it's unlikely to transmit to him."

With the patrol captain's guarantee, the two patrol officers said nothing more.

Cheng Han muttered in his heart: "It's not 'unlikely', it's completely impossible."

He had just done a quick deduction, and the results showed that the power of the True Flame Remnant Seal was exactly the nemesis of the strange shadow.

The former represents light, and the latter represents darkness, which is a perfect counter.

Cheng Han then looked at Long Xingyun: "Patrol Captain, can I try?"

These words were a bit strange, but Long Xingyun understood.

This guy readily replied: "Go ahead!"

Cheng Han stared at the strange shadow, his eyes becoming deep again, and shouted: "Sever!"

"Buzz~"

A strange buzzing sound instantly echoed in the room.

Along with this sound, mental power transformed into an invisible blade, slashing towards the strange shadow.

The next moment.

The shadow under the prostitute's feet moved strangely, then returned to its original state.

This was one of the applications of the Soul Shocking Style.

To some extent, the Nine Yuan Strengthening Style can be considered all-encompassing, including both physical attack techniques and a large number of mental power application techniques.

Cheng Han shook his head: "Too weak!"

The results of this experiment showed that the Soul Shocking Style could only slightly weaken the strange shadow and could not eliminate it at all.

Compared to the God-Dimming Spirit Extinguishing Spear, this move was pitifully weak, but the advantage was that it could be displayed openly, and no one would suspect it.

Long Xingyun, however, praised him repeatedly: "For your age, you're already very good! There aren't many people in the entire outpost with your level."

The two patrol officers also looked at him with admiration.

This simple move easily won the approval of the two.

The prostitute, as if grabbing at a life-saving straw, looked at Cheng Han expectantly: "Patrol Officer, please help me, I'm willing to provide you with free service."

How could Cheng Han withstand this kind of situation?

He smiled awkwardly and left the room decisively.

The two patrol officers immediately smiled strangely.

Long Xingyun couldn't help but laugh "haha", winking and saying: "Cheng Han, men will experience this sooner or later, you can discuss life with Miss 'Meilan'!"

He deliberately emphasized the word "life".

Cheng Han was too lazy to pay attention to this guy, just cursing "old lecher" in his heart.

Do you think this young master doesn't know that you have a beautiful daughter studying at the Eighth Middle School?

Believe it or not, when I have time, I'll go find your daughter to 'discuss life'?

*

A minute later.

Long Xingyun shed his "old lecher" face and became serious.

"Everyone, for the next day, we will be stationed here, carefully investigating every suspected transmitter to ensure nothing is missed."

This guy glanced at the ignorant students, and for Cheng Han's sake, he rarely said more: "If there are any fish that slip through the net, it's very likely to lead to a rapid increase in strange shadow cases, and may even lead to deaths. We must be careful and cautious."

Xiong Yuan and others listened with solemn expressions.

Cheng Han already knew, and his expression was calm.

Long Xingyun waved his hand and began to assign tasks: "Each of you take a student to inspect all the residents in the surrounding area."

This guy quickly read a list: "Zhou Jie, you take Xiong Yuan... Ma Guang, you..."

After the assignments were completed, everyone moved.

The patrol officer Cheng Han followed was a middle-aged man named "Sun Zhonghui".

This person seemed to be a man of few words, simply saying: "I'll ask later, you watch."

Cheng Han simply replied: "Okay."

Soon.

Sun Zhonghui knocked on the door of a house.

"Knock! Knock!"

There was no movement inside.

Sun Zhonghui listened for a moment, and shouted: "I am a patrol officer from the Sixth Outpost of the Patrol Department. I have heard breathing.

"I am now formally warning you that if you do not open the door within ten seconds, I will forcibly break in, and all losses caused will be borne by you personally."

The Patrol Department has considerable authority. Breaking a door is not a big deal if there is a legitimate reason.

After only two seconds.

Rapid footsteps sounded inside the door.

"Creak!"

The door was pulled open.

Two tense faces appeared in the doorway.

It was a young couple.

Sun Zhonghui asked expressionlessly: "You two, a civilian in the vicinity has encountered a strange shadow. I am formally inquiring in the name of a patrol officer, have you witnessed a strange shadow?"

He specifically emphasized: "If you lie, the Patrol Department has the right to detain you and sentence you to a certain period of labor."

Verbal intimidation is the most common questioning technique used by patrol officers. They don't have many extraordinary abilities, so they can only take this approach.

The young man shook his head repeatedly: "I haven't, I've only heard of it."

Sun Zhonghui then looked at the woman: "What about you?"

The woman's tone carried a strong sense of disgust: "That shameless bitch, I feel like I'm dirtying my eyes just by looking at her."

The implication was that she hadn't seen it.

Sun Zhonghui stared intently at the young couple with extremely oppressive eyes, searching for any suspicious expression on their faces.

The couple trembled, afraid to speak.

Two seconds later.

Sun Zhonghui nodded slightly: "If..."

Before he could finish speaking.

The veteran patrol officer heard a calm voice.

"Where were you at noon?"

It was Cheng Han.

He stared at the young man, his gaze as sharp as a knife.

The man was stunned for a moment, then replied calmly: "I'm on vacation today, I've been at home all the time."

Cheng Han snorted coldly: "I happen to be pretty good at the fourth style of the Nine Yuan Strengthening Style, 'Listening to the Wind Style'. I smell a faint fragrance on you..."

He paused deliberately and said: "The scent is exactly the same as Miss Meilan's."

Although the fourth style is called "Listening to the Wind", it doesn't just strengthen hearing, it can also strengthen other senses.

The young man's face changed drastically in an instant.

The woman was stunned for a moment, then punched her husband in the face with both fists, cursing loudly: "Bastard, I'm working my ass off, and you're taking advantage of your vacation to mess around with that shameless prostitute..."

The man tried to defend himself: "Miss Mei is having a hard time, I'm just giving her some financial assistance..."

Sun Zhonghui, witnessing this scene, had a hint of imperceptible embarrassment flash across his old face.

He had been trying his best to show off the insight of an old patrol officer in front of this rising star student, but he almost messed up.

What an impressive newcomer!

Sun Zhonghui suppressed his embarrassment without showing it and shouted: "Enough!"

The woman was still fighting her husband, cursing more and more harshly: "You're as filthy as a sewer, you're alive..."

Sun Zhonghui frowned, reached out and gently pushed the woman's shoulder, pushing her back several steps.

He took out a pair of metal handcuffs, handcuffed the man, and said coldly: "You maliciously deceived the Patrol Department and seriously obstructed official duties. Honestly spend half a year in the outpost."
