BXBX NOVEL Chapter 236: Had No Clues At All
Chapter 236: Had No Clues At All
Logically speaking, as long as Nanyu City wanted to find the person from the Beast God Cult, it should be very easy.
The household registration in this world was also very strict, especially because of the impact of the inconvenient transportation, there was actually very little floating population.
If they wanted to find an outsider, as long as Nanyu city’s military put in a good effort, there was almost no one they could not find.
“Yes, we just didn’t catch anyone,” said Baker, “It was completely a coincidence that we found the people of the Beast God Cult. We brought that believer back for interrogation and did indeed get some clues. In the end, when we went to arrest them, we found nothing. From then on, almost every day, people would run to the streets and shout that stuff, as if they were provoking us.”
“Have you searched the entire southern Nanyu City?”
“We haven’t finished searching yet!” Baker said, “We found traces of hypnosis on those Beast God believers. Our initial judgment is that the other party must have a spirit-type pet beast. It’ll be a little difficult to find them. We can only send out Beast Masters with spirit-type pet beasts to conduct a search. The progress of the search is very slow.”
Most spirit-type pet beasts had a few illusions.
If ordinary soldiers were sent out to search, the other party would stand in front of the soldiers, and the soldiers might not even be able to see them.
“I understand.”
“Major Lugh, you’ve had a tiring journey. I’ve already prepared food for you. Why don’t you rest first?”
“Alright.”
After staying on the centipede train for more than half a month, they were indeed not in good spirits.
After eating a sumptuous dinner, the five of them quickly rested.
The matter of the Beast God Cult would be discussed tomorrow after they had fully recovered their spirits.
If they were looking for people, Lugh was actually quite good at it.
“They’ve all rested?”
Deputy Guardian Baker said, “Guardian Hall, they’ve all rested.”
Guardian Hall of Nanyu City rubbed his dry eyes and asked, “Have you found the people of the Beast God Cult?”
Baker said helplessly, “Not yet!”
“Do you think we can find them?”
“I think it’ll be very difficult,” Baker said in a low voice. “Based on the spiritual energy left behind after the believers were hypnotized, there must be a Gold-tier spirit-type pet among the members of the Beast God Cult. There are only seven Beast Masters in our Nanyu City who have Gold-tier spirit-type pets. It’ll be extremely difficult for seven people to search them out of the city... Besides, we don’t even know what they look like. We only know that they’re men.”
“Ptui! How could these bastards from the Beast God Cult come to my place?” Hall scolded unhappily. “Skylight City is taking this matter very seriously. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have sent the Emergency Response Team to keep an eye on them. If they still can’t find them, don’t tell me they want me to personally go door to door?”
“Then what about the Emergency Response Team?”
“Provide them with good food and drinks. If they have any requests, do your best to satisfy them. After all, they are sent by the higher-ups.”
Baker said, “Also, send back Gold-tier experts from the general Reclamation Troops. Let them help us look for them. Gold-tier Beast Masters, if their willpower is strong enough, might also be immune to spirit-type abilities. Let’s first flip through Nanyu City.”
“Indeed, we can’t let the Beast God Cult stay here for too long. Otherwise, it’ll be very troublesome!”
On the second day after arriving in Nanyu City, Lugh gathered his team to meet Baker.
Bruce said in a low voice, “It’s been almost a month. They haven’t even found anyone in Nanyu City. It’ll probably be very difficult.”
Colin nodded at the side as well. “Spirit-type hallucinating abilities are famous for being difficult to deal with. If the other party really wants to hide, it’ll be very difficult for ordinary people to find them. I heard that the Beast Masters of these cults are all good at hypnosis. That’ll be even more troublesome. They can hypnotize any local to stay in their room. It’s really like a god doesn’t know and a ghost doesn’t know.”
“Let’s go check out the situation first, and see how their search is progressing,” Lugh said with a smile. “Actually, I’m quite interested in the people from the Beast God Cult.”
When Lugh accepted this mission from Elisa, he also triggered the system mission.
Sometimes, Lugh even felt that Captain Elisa’s was very much like a system NPC.
When Lugh saw Baker, he asked him about the progress of the search for the members of the Beast God Cult in Nanyu City.
Baker’s answer was simple. They had already sent over fifty Gold-tier Beast Masters to lead the search. They couldn’t guarantee when they would be able to find them.
Lugh had a rough idea of the situation, he said to Baker, “Deputy Guardian Baker, actually, our squad is good at finding people too. Captain Bania sent us here to help with the search in Nanyu City. Can you find someone familiar with this matter to show us around?”
“Yes!”
Baker immediately found his adjutant.
“His name is Warren, my adjutant. He is very clear about this matter. Let him come and take a look.”
“Okay.”
After Lugh and the others left, Baker breathed a sigh of relief.
The secretary asked in a low voice while pouring water, “Deputy Guardian, can they find it?”
“We haven’t found them yet. How can they find them?”
Baker said nonchalantly, “We don’t even know what they look like. How are they going to find them?”
After leaving the military gate, Lugh looked at Warren. He was very young, about twenty years old.
However, Lugh did not seem to have the right to say that others were young.
“Adjutant Warren, I want to ask if you know what those people look like.”
Warren shook his head. “After interrogating those believers, they all said that they could not remember what the guide looked like.”
“How did you find out that the Beast God Cult had appeared in Nanyu City?”
“When a mercenary returned home, he found out that his entire family had worshiped the Beast God Cult. He immediately reported this matter to our city guards.”
“Didn’t Deputy Guardian Baker say that you had arranged for people to arrest the members of the Beast God Cult? Where was their original stronghold? Bring us to take a look!”
“Okay!” Warren hesitated. “But we’ve searched everywhere. There shouldn’t be any clues.”
“Just bring us to take a look.”
“Okay.”
Warren received Baker’s orders to satisfy Lugh and the others.
Warren called for a car and brought Lugh and the others to a small square. There was a small theater next to the small square.
Warren pointed at the small theater and said, “The followers of the Beast God Cult have been preaching here for a period of time.”
“Let’s go in and take a look.”
Lugh opened the curtain and went in. Bruce and the others followed.
After stepping into the small theater, Lugh smelled the smell of cleaning agents. The stage was clean and polished. The chairs were neatly arranged and had been cleaned.
Lugh sniffed and gave up helplessly.
The Berserk Bear’s exceptional sense of smell could not do anything about this situation.
Bruce asked, “Captain, did you find anything?”
“No!”
After leaving the small square, Lugh walked out with his men on the streets of Nanyu City.
At this moment, Lugh also had a headache.
He was indeed good at finding people.
However, he did not know what the other party looked like or what the other party’s scent was.
There were no clues, so how could he find them?
There were probably more than 100,000 people living in Nanyu City. In addition to the complicated environment in the city, if he wanted to find the followers of the Beast God Cult, he might have to rely on the tactics of a sea of people.
When it was almost noon, Lugh suddenly saw many people gathered in front of him, as if they were watching something interesting.
The few of them strode forward. When the civilians saw that Lugh and the others were wearing military uniforms, they immediately made way for them.
Lugh and the others walked in and saw a middle-aged woman lying in a pool of blood. She had already lost her breath.
Bruce asked, “What happened?”
“It’s none of our business! She committed suicide.”
“Yes, she committed suicide. We saw it with our own eyes.”
“Before she died, she said that she wanted to sacrifice herself to the Beast God.”
...
Lugh released the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly. The Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly did not feel any trace of spiritual power fluctuation on the body of the deceased.
She was not hypnotized.
However, this was normal. Even the people of the Beast God Cult could not hypnotize all the believers.
Lugh sniffed the body. There were too many kinds of smells, which made him a little confused.
The body was quickly disposed of. After questioning, Warren told Lugh and the others that the deceased was a widow who worked part-time. Her husband died, and her only son died of illness two years ago.
However, the deceased’s neighbor said that she had been mysterious some time ago, as if she was attending some kind of gathering. In recent days, she had been locked in her room until today. She did not expect to commit suicide.
Lugh scratched his head, feeling a bit of a headache.
She was already dead.
