"Catch one back?"
Everyone looked at Wang Hai with some surprise.
I didn't immediately understand what he wanted to do.
"Hmm," Wang Hai replied in a deep voice, then looked at Shen Heng, " Shen Heng, your abilities should be sufficient for interrogation, right?"
Shen Heng looked at the captain and nodded:
"Theoretically, it's possible, but I haven't used it before. You can give it a try."
"If all else fails, we can release the captured Sharp-Horned Rat."
"Then I'll stir up its fear, making it instinctively run home."
"We followed it from a distance, searching for it."
Hearing Shen Heng arrange the future of a Sharp-Horned Rat in just a few words, Wu Cheng's lips twitched involuntarily.
Why does Shen Heng's ability seem so sinister?
Because there haven't been many special Calamity Beast appearing in the past six months, people haven't had much opportunity to witness Shen Heng's abilities.
Aside from encountering Calamity Beast, whose emotions quickly become unstable, there's almost nothing else to see.
Now, hearing the conversation between the captain and Shen Heng, I realized that Shen Heng's ability could also hear thoughts.
Wang Hai nodded slightly. "In that case, let's prepare and begin the search."
Shen Heng looked at the captain who wanted to join the search and said:
"There's no need for us to go together. The Martial Arts Association's patrol team can go; it would be a waste of our energy if we all went together."
"Moreover, the search takes time, and during that time, more Calamity Beast will be overrun."
"So, Captain, you guys can just do your normal activities. I'll take two people with me."
Wang Hai looked at Shen Heng, "Who do you want to pull?"
"If we capture the Calamity Beast..."
Shen Heng's gaze swept briefly across the faces of everyone present.
" Wei Leyang and Dahuang, I guess."
" Dahuang, with its nose, might be able to help find it too."
" Wei Leyang will be responsible for binding the Calamity Beast to avoid wasting more time managing Calamity Beast."
Wang Hai a moment, then nodded.
"Okay, then that's settled."
The meeting has adjourned.
Shen Heng led the intrigued Wei Leyang and the ill-fated-looking Dahuang out of the Supervision Bureau.
"What do we do next? Find a spot to go down into the underground passage and then search?" Wei Leyang looked at Shen Heng with some anticipation.
"No, drive, and then wander around the city," Shen Heng said.
"Huh? Wasn't it said that all the Sharp-Horned Rat found were in the underground passages?" Wei Leyang's eyes widened slightly.
"It's in the underground passage, what's wrong?" Shen Heng looked at Wei Leyang.
"Then why not search in the underground passage?" Wei Leyang voiced his doubts.
"I can observe the underground passage from the ground, why do I want to go down?" Shen Heng looked at Wei Leyang with suspicion.
"Besides, you can't drive in the underpasses. If we really go down to search, will we have to spend the whole day running through the city's underpasses?"
"Ah, this..."
Wei Leyang was speechless for a moment.
What Shen Heng said seemed to make a lot of sense, but...
This is somewhat different from what he imagined the reconnaissance process would involve.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Han Ling arrived at the Supervision Bureau during the day, just as she had done in the previous days.
This week, she's on the day shift.
As soon as I entered, I saw Old Li and Dahuang sitting in the lobby on the first floor.
"Good morning, Old Li and Dahuang!" Han Ling greeted Old Li and Dahuang with a smile.
"Good morning!" Old Li nodded with a smile.
Dahuang yawned, "Good morning!"
Hearing the somewhat tired voice, Han Ling smiled, walked over to Dahuang, squatted down, and reached out to rub Dahuang's face.
" Dahuang, you look so tired!"
"I went out to help search, and then I had to deal with a Calamity Beast. Then I went to search again, and when I came back I was forced to train. How could there be such a miserable dog as me in the world!" Dahuang said sadly.
"Oh? Were there still Calamity Beast appearing yesterday?" Han Ling asked, slightly surprised.
Nowadays, unless it's extremely dangerous, people generally won't call for help from those on day shift if they encounter Calamity Beast at night.
Even if it weren't for security reasons...
In most cases, sending one person is enough.
"Yes, a Tier 2 Kuku Bird!" Dahuang replied.
Han Ling nodded slightly. "So they've all gone back now, right?"
"No, the captain is still upstairs writing the mission report," Old Li said with a smile.
"Then I'll go take a look!" Han Ling said with a smile.
As she spoke, she walked upstairs.
Halfway there, I paused.
After thinking for a moment, she turned and walked towards the restaurant.
She skillfully brewed a cup of coffee, stirred it, and after confirming it was well mixed, she picked up the coffee and took a light sniff.
Smelling the enticing aroma, Han Ling couldn't help but smile.
She eagerly took the coffee and walked towards Wang Hai's office.
The office door was open, and before I even went in, I could hear Wang Hai's voice coming from inside.
He began to recount the events of the previous night's mission, while Tianshu compiled his account into a report and submitted it.
"Captain!" Han Ling greeted from the doorway.
Wang Hai paused his work and turned to look at Han Ling standing at the door.
"What's wrong?"
"No, I heard from Old Li that you were still at the bureau. I was worried you were tired, so I made you a cup of coffee!" Han Ling walked in and raised the coffee in her hand to indicate.
Wang Hai paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Thank you!"
"It's nothing, we don't need to say thank you!" Han Ling smiled and handed the coffee to Wang Hai.
After she finished speaking, she stood to the side, looking at the files floating in the air above the office.
" Kuku Bird, Tier 2?"
"Yeah, I ran into him last night," Wang Hai said, taking a sip of his coffee.
"How was it? How was it?" Han Ling looked at Wang Hai with a hint of anticipation.
Wang Hai paused for a moment, then said, "Hmm, it tastes even better than before."
Upon hearing this, Han Ling's smile widened even further.
"Laugh--"
The longsword sliced across the Sharp-Horned Rat's body.
Before they had gone very far, the Sharp-Horned Rat let out a painful hiss.
Its head snapped back, and its sharp horn grazed Lin Xiaoyu's cheek, leaving a trail of blood.
Just as the Sharp-Horned Rat was about to continue its attack, several thorns suddenly sprang up from a distance and entangled its hind legs.
As the thorns tightened, Mei Duo's voice came from behind her.
" Xiaoyu, don't rush, take your time! Mid Tier 2 isn't easy to beat!"
"Okay, I understand!"
Lin Xiaoyu replied nervously as she backed away.
She still feels lingering fear from the unicorn that just brushed past her cheek.
She was so close, so close, she might have died just now!
The Sharp-Horned Rat stumbled, tripped by the thorns.
But it immediately raised its front paws, ready to tear the thorns apart.
Just then, a shadow flashed out from the darkness, and a poisoned spear pierced straight into the rat's eye.
The Sharp-Horned Rat quickly stopped moving its front paws and abruptly turned its head.
The spear tip cut a gash in its cheek.
It lashed out with its tail in a rage, and Shadow managed to leap back, but was still struck on the shoulder, groaning as it crashed into the pipe wall.
The Sharp-Horned Rat then seized the opportunity to swing its claws and tear the thorns wrapped around its legs.
