Qin Yiguan suddenly thought of Luo Canlie.

His Fusion Rate was lower than Lu Zun's, and he clearly couldn't control Lu Zun with the ' Smiling Doll '.

But Luo Canlie himself was unaware of this.

This indicates that he had a thought in his mind similar to ' Lu Zun has been controlled by me'.

Qin Yiguan had already guessed this.

Could Lu Zun's ability be to project 'consciousness' or 'thoughts' into other people's minds?

Assumption.

This ' Football Enthusiast ' was also manipulated by Lu Zun, harboring murderous intentions... So why would Lu Zun do this?

It's still missing a motivation.

At that very moment, Qin Yiguan thought of the follow-up story of the ' Football Enthusiast,' a secret within the police station that Officer Wang had 'violated' and revealed to him for the nth time.

The girl's father is the deputy commander of B5 Sector, and rumors suggest he is likely to be promoted and succeed Lu Zun.

However, due to his daughter's murder scandal, he was 'frozen out' by the Metaverse Government!

"I see."

Qin Yiguan's eyes flashed, "Indirectly eliminate the competitor, and incidentally create a serial killer..."

"But why would Lu Zun create a serial killer?"

In that instant, Qin Yiguan had a flash of inspiration and remembered the question from before.

As he recalled his experiences with ' Poison Master,' he felt something was off, as if he had overlooked something.

Now he suddenly understood.

The Poison Master's crime was the poisoning of a private Central District, a small district that included 286 people, including the wealthy man's family, company members, servants, and others!

but why.

Inside the Poison Master showroom, there are only her 27 students?

Because those 286 people died instantly from the poisoning, they had no painful memories.

But these 27 students were different. They couldn't believe that their beloved teacher would use ricin to poison them in class!

Those 27 students died in utter despair!

now.

Qin Yiguan's eyes brightened slightly, "Lu Zun is collecting the most terrifying memories of death!"

"If..."

"The Leviathan Rift is real; it can destroy two major sectors..."

"Sixty million people will fall into the abyss..."

"So..."

"To ensure that the standard of 'torture and slaughter' is met, Lu Zun will project these horrific memories into the minds of everyone as the residents fall into the abyss!"

"In this way, everyone will experience the most terrifying scene of their life in the moments before they die..."

"Despair, bloodshed, cruelty... dying in utter terror!"

"This is absolute brutality!"

"If Lu Zun succeeds, it will be killing 60 million people in the most efficient and extreme way!"

"He will definitely be able to raise the Fusion Rate to 100%!"

now.

A chill ran down Qin Yiguan's spine. "People say I'm a freak, but compared to Commander Lu... I'm not even worthy to carry his shoes! I'm just a tiny, dying Mars, while he's a blazing sun!"

"Having come to this conclusion, no matter how you look at it... I have to stop Lu Zun!"

"But... where is that Leviathan Rift?"

Even if Lu Zun has helpers, no one will reveal this secret!

"After all, people can 'throw their thoughts around,' so there's no chance of a traitor appearing!"

"We still need to look for information from the clues at hand."

Qin Yiguan stared at the underground archive. "How did Lu Zun collect the memories of these murderers, as well as the memories of the victims?"

Observing the labels, Qin Yiguan suddenly became serious. "At least half of the cases I just saw were handled by him! All sorts of corpses also passed through his hands!"

"After all, you need the deceased's brain first to extract their memories!"

"No way..."

Qin Yiguan squinted, recalling the figure in the black trench coat.

But before Qin Yiguan could think it through...

A noise suddenly came from the entrance; the basement door seemed to have been opened from the outside!

Qin Yiguan's expression hardened!

The Clam was still vomiting in the distance when Qin Yiguan swiftly dodged, covering his headlamp with one hand and his mouth with the other!

The two then squatted down behind a display case.

The next second.

The hatch slowly opened.

In the darkness, a strange figure moved silently, its back hunched, much like a wild beast standing upright. It seemed very cautious as it slowly descended the stairs.

The Clam looked terrified and swallowed the vomit that was stuck in its mouth!

Qin Yiguan also tried his best to remain quiet.

This is, after all, the Core Earth; I have no power here!

But then they saw that the figure seemed to be holding a controller in its hand, and gently pressed it, illuminating the entire basement with a faint, yellowish light.

Qin Yiguan shrank back again, peering through the gap in the display case.

The true face of that figure was unexpected, yet also perfectly reasonable!

Jiu Zhengxuan!

To be precise, it was an older ' Jiu Zhengxuan ', over 30 years old, with a very strange body shape, resembling... a wolf?

They are very much like the babies in legends who were raised by wild wolves. Although they have human faces, their behavior, actions, and even habits are similar to those of wolves!

Therefore, it must be one of the numbers 'one, two, three, four, five, six'... Zheng Xuan!

I just don't know where it ranks!

"Lu Zun's pawn..."

What is it here for?

The boy observed quietly, pondering to himself.

But the 'werewolf' had strange hands; its bones seemed to be fixed in shape, always in a claw-like posture. In its palm, it held a small memory chip.

Qin Yiguan suddenly realized, "It's here to 'deliver goods'! I wonder where it got these terrifying memories from again!"

The werewolf approached a display case, skillfully opened the door, and carefully placed the chip in his hand inside.

Just then, the werewolf looked up, wrinkled its nose, and seemed to have smelled something strange.

The werewolf suddenly turned around and looked in the direction where Qin Yiguan was hiding!

over.

Gala vomit!

Qin Yiguan frowned. Just by looking at its appearance, that thing's combat power was off the charts. Now that it's located in the Core Earth, I'm afraid I can't defeat it!

The Clam's eyes widened even more!

Qin Yiguan turned around and saw the werewolf running towards him on all fours, just like a wild wolf. At this moment, it leaped up, its limbs off the ground, opened its mouth, which was full of sharp teeth, and bit at Qin Yiguan's neck!

In desperation, Qin Yiguan suddenly raised his foot. Now, all he had left was a body that wasn't particularly strong, and some fighting skills!

Thump!

He kicked the werewolf in the stomach, shoved the Clam aside, and rolled on the spot!

The werewolf let out a howl, rolled to the ground, and lay sprawled there, its face contorted, baring its fangs, and letting out a low growl like a wild beast!

Qin Yiguan slowly stood up.

Fine!

It is now located at the Core Earth, and only its own power remains!

The werewolf lunged forward again, grabbing Qin Yiguan's shoulders with both hands and scratching out bloody marks.

Then it opened its mouth and bit Qin Yiguan's neck!

Qin Yiguan grabbed the other person's chin with both hands and pushed him away forcefully.

It really feels like fighting a mad dog!

Bang!

Qin Yiguan executed an over-the-shoulder throw, slamming the werewolf hard onto the ground!

Although the werewolf was in pain, its wild nature remained strong. It charged forward again, put its hands on Qin Yiguan's shoulders, and bit at Qin Yiguan's head once more. This time, Qin Yiguan couldn't dodge in time, and the werewolf bit off the technological headband on his head!

Qin Yiguan seized the opportunity, aimed at the werewolf's vulnerable arm joints, and slammed down with both elbows, making a cracking sound!

The werewolf's two arms dislocated on the spot!

A loud howl!

The werewolf retreated in pain; its front paws had barely touched the ground when it recoiled as if electrocuted.

It circled around Qin Yiguan, its eyes filled with extreme anger and resentment.

But it dared not attack again, and tried its best to sniff in the direction where Qin Yiguan was, as if trying to remember Qin Yiguan's scent!

Finally, with an extremely sinister look in its eyes, the mad wolf roared, turned and ran towards the exit, its body disappearing into the darkness.

Qin Yiguan's shoulder was covered in blood, and he was panting heavily.

Fortunately, it's a weakling now!

Judging by its audacity, it would probably be useless even if it were put into the Experimental Zone —all show and no substance!

only...

Although I survived this time, haven't I already been exposed?

I just hope that thing can't speak human language and can't transmit information!

At that moment, Qin Yiguan slowly turned around.

He looked at the chip the werewolf had brought.

But then they saw that the chip also had an electronic tag attached to it, which read, "Fifth Strongest: Mu Qingkuang".

"Teacher Qing!"

Qin Yiguan's Pupil suddenly contracted.
