Of course, there's a good chance that this is just Ye Qiu overthinking.
Buzz~ Buzz~
However, just as Ye Qiu was thinking this, the phone that he had placed on the table lit up and began to vibrate.
Someone was calling.
Ye Qiu picked up the phone and glanced at it. It was an unfamiliar number. He raised his eyebrows and answered the call.
"Uncle..."
From the phone came a sound mixed with sobs, seemingly filled with sadness and pain, "Uncle, can I come to see you?"
Lu Shiqing?
Could it be that the fire mentioned on the TV was really the little girl's house?
Moreover, judging from the pain and sorrow in the little girl's voice, something else must have happened just now.
"Where are you? I'll come find you right away."
Ye Qiu pondered for a moment before asking the little girl a question.
After learning the little girl's location, Ye Qiu did not hesitate and immediately got up to head to where she had mentioned.
...
Capital City.
Inside a dark alley.
A white-haired elder wearing a Taoist robe, who exuded an ethereal and divine aura, stood to the side with a young man whose face was fraught with panic. Opposite them was a man in tattered, blood-stained clothing.
Yet, this man's situation was quite peculiar. He seemed to have transformed into a beast, crouching on the ground, hands bracing against it, claws gripping the earth firmly. His blood-red eyes stared intensely at the two across from him, his throat emitting a beast-like low growl, and he exuded a strong murderous aura!!!
"Roar~!!!"
A sound akin to a beast's roar erupted from the man's mouth, and he lunged fiercely at the two in front of him!!!
His speed was such that he left an afterimage in place; even a high-speed camera might struggle to capture his movements!!!
In an instant, he locked onto the young man standing next to the white-haired elder, suddenly appearing right in front of the young man.
"Master, save me!!!"
Feeling the terrifying aura suddenly assaulting him, the young man next to the white-haired elder's face turned even more panic-stricken, shouting in horror.
In contrast, the white-haired elder remained rather calm in the face of the lunging man.
"Stop."
The white-haired elder gently uttered a word, pointing his whisk lightly in front of him. Instantly, the beast-like man lunging with madness was frozen in place before them, his body stiff and unable to move an inch.
Seeing the man who had been emitting such a strong murderous aura, just looking at him made one's heart tremble, now frozen in place, the young man next to the white-haired elder finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, it's taken care of. You guys come and take him away."
The young man then stepped forward and patted the frozen man, triumphantly calling out to a group of soldiers in military uniforms holding riot shields outside the alley.
Upon hearing the young man's voice, the soldiers hesitated for a moment before stepping in cautiously, binding the immobilized man with a pile of steel chains and then escorting him onto a truck outside.
If Ye Qiu were here, he would immediately recognize that these soldiers were all special forces from the Demon Corps.
Moreover, the white-haired elder was the top Divine Realm expert in Huaxia, Dao.
As for the somewhat timid young man, he was the elder's disciple, with a rather feminine name, Zhao Chunxue.
"Master, who was that man just now?"
Watching the special forces from the Demon Corps escort the man onto the truck, Zhao Chunxue finally couldn't hold back his fear and asked his master, "He clearly had no Inner Strength, yet the speed and aura just now were close to those Gang Realm experts."
"And those two people from before; one could lift a road roller as a weapon, the other could manipulate water. They're like characters with superpowers straight out of a movie."
This is already the third mutant resolved today. Zhao Chunxue had been holding his confusion in, and now he couldn't hold back any longer, spilling his doubts.
"To put it bluntly, they're all mutants."
The elder glanced at Zhao Chunxue, not withholding any information, and replied casually, "Mutants, while fewer than Martial Artists, have always existed. Each year, the higher-ups and major powers also recruit some mutants."
"However, generally speaking, mutants are very few in number, appearing only once in tens of thousands of people. Moreover, even when one does appear, their abilities are often very weak, even less than some Dark Force experts."
Saying this, the elder looked at the truck driving away with the man inside, and continued speaking with Zhao Chunxue, his tone heavier, "In comparison, these mutants are very abnormal. Not only are their abilities significantly stronger, but they're also emerging like bamboo shoots after the rain."
"If nothing unexpected happens, Huaxia is likely already seeing many mutants of this type."
The elder's voice was somewhat regretful.
"Then, won't Huaxia be plunged into chaos?!!"
Zhao Chunxue's eyes widened, his face full of shock.
It's crucial to know, the mutants they encountered today were already nearing Gang Realm standards in strength, even the weakest were able to crush average Dark Force experts.
Among Martial Artists, those who possess strength above Dark Force aren't many.
If a large number of mutants suddenly appear, with strength above Dark Force, even reaching Gang Realm or stronger, the impact and disruption to Huaxia's balance can be imagined.
Moreover, the key issue is that these mutants are suddenly emerging, making management difficult; no one knows when they might pop up, which adds to the level of danger greatly!!!
"But, how are these mutants produced, and why has this sudden situation occurred?"
Zhao Chunxue couldn't resist pressing the elder with another question, his eyes full of confusion.
"Because this world is experiencing issues."
The elder shook his head, then addressed Zhao Chunxue with a meaningful statement, "Actually, mutants are not the major issue. The real issue lies hidden in the shadows. Martial Artists, especially those who have reached the Divine Realm in strength, are the biggest concern."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Chunxue became even more bewildered.
