On the other side, Shen Heng was deep in thought.
Although Wei Leyang's two points sounded a bit strange, upon closer examination, they didn't seem to have any problems, except...
"Why does it only kill one person each time? Wasn't that policewoman at the scene when the incident happened?" Shen Heng looked at Wei Leyang.
"If it's for revenge or hunting, killing one more person along the way wouldn't be a problem, right?"
Wei Leyang thought for a moment and said:
"In that case, it should still be the second possibility, but it's changed from hunting to playing around. So he kills people but doesn't eat them, and he only kills one person at a time, just for fun!"
Was it just for fun...? Shen Heng stared at the corpse in the cubicle, and for a moment he couldn't really find anything strange about it.
While Wei Leyang's two viewpoints may sound strange, they aren't actually that logically flawed, however...
Revenge and emperors—it really does seem to fit his style.
Wang Hai stood there pondering for a while, but couldn't seem to come up with any other problems.
He glanced at Shen Heng, and seeing that Shen Heng had no questions, he said:
"Let's temporarily relocate our work location from the Supervision Bureau to here, to prevent the Calamity Beast from killing people again."
Everyone nodded, and had no objections.
"So, during this period, we'll be coming over at night?" Han Ling asked.
Wang Hai's gaze swept across everyone's faces.
These incidents all occurred at night, so the main combat personnel must be deployed at night, but daytime operations cannot be completely ignored.
" Shen Heng and Wei Leyang during the day, the others at night!" Wang Hai said.
After saying that, he glanced at Le Gu Nan and said:
"Let's go during the day too, Le Gu Nan!"
Upon hearing that he had also been assigned to the daytime shift, Le Gu Nan subconsciously glanced at the team leader, then looked at Sister Ling.
Seeing Sister Ling pointing her little fist at him, her mouth opening and closing...
Although she couldn't hear the voice, she could still roughly guess that it meant "keep going."
She opened her mouth, but finally nodded.
Seeing this, Han Ling chuckled softly.
Shen Heng witnessed this scene from the side, then his eyes shifted slightly to look at Wang Hai.
"Captain, would it be better if I stayed until tonight?"
Wang Hai looked at Shen Heng and explained:
"With me, Han Ling, and Wu Cheng on the team tonight, combat strength won't be a problem. Adding you will only make us spot the Calamity Beast faster."
"But during the day there are only a few of you, and Wei Leyang is the only one with relatively high combat strength, so comparatively, you'll be more useful in the daytime shift."
Before Shen Heng could speak, Wang Hai continued:
"Unless you can listen to the Haiguang Sub-Bureau continuously for more than ten days without sleeping."
Upon hearing this, Shen Heng had no choice but to nod.
Even without using his abilities, he estimated that he could only go a few days without sleeping.
Moreover, this means constantly using the ability to monitor the surrounding environment.
The next day.
Haiguang District Public Security Sub-Bureau.
After handing over the duties to the team leader and others, Shen Heng sat down in an empty seat on the side of the reception hall on the first floor.
The police station was empty early in the morning, except for two officers who, as usual, sat behind the service desk. However, compared to usual, their faces showed more worry and fear.
Shen Heng glanced at them, but had no solution to the problem.
The only way to alleviate their concerns is to eliminate the Calamity Beast.
He leaned back in his chair, his eyes slightly closed, a thin Origin Power flowing into his body with each breath, and all sorts of sounds echoing in his ears.
A certain moment.
A series of approaching footsteps stood out from the multitude of sounds.
Shen Heng slightly opened his eyes and saw Le Gu Nan walking slowly towards him.
After she opened her eyes, she paused for a moment before continuing on her way.
"Um... may I sit down next to you?" Le Gu Nan asked softly.
Shen Heng did not reply immediately, but quietly looked at Le Gu Nan.
She was standing quietly beside the seat, seemingly unwilling to sit there without his permission.
Hmm, we need to guide her personality, otherwise how will she handle encountering Calamity Beast in the future?... Shen Heng pondered for a moment and said:
"We're friends, right?"
"Huh?"
The sudden words startled Le Gu Nan slightly. She stared blankly at Shen Heng for a couple of seconds before reacting and saying:
"Hmm, I guess you could say that!"
"Since we're friends, let's just sit down. There's no need to be so polite with friends," Shen Heng said. "If I saw you sitting here, I would have come and sat down right away too."
"But my family says that if doing something might affect others, we should ask them first," Le Gu Nan said after a moment's hesitation.
"That's not entirely wrong, but it's certainly not entirely correct either!"
Shen Heng looked up at Le Gu Nan.
"You need to consider the impact this event has on people—whether it's good or bad, big or small."
Le Gu Nan opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
Shen Heng asked, "Do you think it's a good thing, a bad thing, or has no impact on me if you don't ask me and just sit down next to me?"
"Hmm, it shouldn't have much of an impact, right?" Le Gu Nan for a moment and said.
"Since it doesn't have any impact, do you think you can sit down without asking?" Shen Heng asked.
"Then, that should be possible," Le Gu Nan said softly.
Seeing that Le Gu Nan agreed, Shen Heng closed his eyes again.
A moment later, he opened his eyes again and looked at Le Gu Nan, who was still standing to the side.
"If that's possible, then what are you doing standing there?"
"Ah? Oh, oh!" Le Gu Nan nodded as if suddenly realizing something, then gently sat down next to Shen Heng.
Seeing that Le Gu Nan had finally sat down, Shen Heng sighed inwardly. Recalling their conversation, he asked:
"Is that all the grand principles your family usually teaches you?"
"Big principles?" Le Gu Nan turned his head slightly, looking at Shen Heng.
"When what you just did might affect others, do you have to ask them for their opinions?" Shen Heng said calmly.
"Well, I feel like what you said makes sense, it's not some grand principle!" Le Gu Nan said softly.
Not bad, at least you know how to argue back... Shen Heng continued:
"I didn't say he was wrong, but that's not how you use reason."
"Isn't this how it's supposed to be used?"... Le Gu Nan turned her gaze with some confusion.
"So how do you use it?"
Shen Heng turned to look at Le Gu Nan and said:
"Everyone has their own way of using it, I can't teach you, and I never intended to. You just need to remember one sentence."
"One sentence?" Le Gu Nan repeated, somewhat puzzled.
Shen Heng nodded and leaned back in his chair.
"Take a look, use it to verify; the true truth lies in the path you've walked, not in those words."
Le Gu Nan gently turned his head and looked at the young man who was about the same age as him sitting next to him.
"To take a look, to use as proof...?"
