Xu Qian frowned. The X Group sending such a troublesome entity to B City surely meant there was something unknown at play.
Why was the Ning Yun team trapped?
Why were the little blue men besieging them?
What secret lay within?
The girl closed her eyes, deploying her mental power.
Suddenly, a loud shout echoed.
"Scatter!"
Xu Qian was startled. The voice sounded very familiar.
A man strode forward, seemingly not noticing her. His tall, slender frame positioned him in front of the crowd.
The onlookers obediently parted.
With a casual sweep of his hand, a large cluster of flames, tinged with black, shot towards the big blue man.
Sensing danger, the big blue man turned to flee.
But Guan Weiyun's dark flames were no joke; they ignited upon contact with the blue skin.
The big blue man yelped in pain as he burned, the flames soon engulfing his entire body.
Guan Weiyun turned to face the crowd, his expression unchanged.
"Everyone, head back for now. I'll handle what comes next."
The flames behind him blazed, gradually turning to ash. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
An unparalleled sense of security spread through the crowd. As long as the person in charge was present, there was nothing to fear.
Xu Qian gave him a brief glance and turned to instruct, "You go ahead. I'll wait for you at the mission hall tomorrow morning at 7 AM."
Lu Yang paused, his gaze flicking between the two. Then, he obediently departed.
The crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only the dozen or so people brought by Guan Weiyun, and the two of them.
Without delay, he led his team into the residential complex.
Xu Qian followed behind the group. Everyone knew her relationship with Guan Weiyun and didn't stop her.
The party arrived at Unit 101.
The Ning Yun team had been trapped in the complex for several days. The news indicated they were surrounded by these little blue men after discovering a blue pearl.
Guan Weiyun raised his hand and knocked, his voice deep, "It's me, Guan Weiyun. Open the door."
A quick "click" came from inside.
The door swung open, and a woman rushed out, her clothes disheveled. She threw her arms around Guan Weiyun.
"Boss, boss, you're finally here!"
"Wuwuwu... I was so scared."
The onlookers were so disgusted they all had goosebumps.
Ning Xiaoyun, the captain of the Ning Yun team, had gone on missions with Guan Weiyun before he became the person in charge.
Their relationship was considered somewhat decent.
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes, her arms crossed, motionless.
Guan Weiyun furrowed his brow, roughly pulling the woman away by an arm's length.
The woman's blurry face came into view.
The man showed no pity, instead asking coldly,
"Ning Xiaoyun, how are the people inside? What exactly did you find?"
Ning Xiaoyun continued to sob incessantly, mumbling incoherently.
Guan Weiyun, annoyed, pushed her aside and walked in.
As soon as he entered, a pungent stench wafted out, making one feel nauseous.
Even the seasoned members covered their noses.
Before they could go further, Ning Xiaoyun reached out to stop him, saying urgently, "They're all dead!"
"Weiyun, don't go in. The item is with me."
Ning Xiaoyun reached into her pocket and produced a round, blue pearl, handing it to him.
Guan Weiyun furrowed his brow and took it, examining it closely. Blue liquid flowed within, and he couldn't tell what it was.
He handed the item to the man in black beside him and continued to walk in.
Ning Xiaoyun grew anxious. The item was in hand, so why did he still need to go inside?
"Weiyun, Weiyun..."
Guan Weiyun raised his hand slightly, and two people immediately lifted her off her feet, preventing her from interfering.
Moving further inside, he saw a mess of clothes piled on the sofa and a bowl of braised meat slices steaming on the coffee table.
There were many drag marks on the floor, and the kitchen was in disarray, with no meat remaining.
