Chapter 715 - The mystery of the statue (1/2)

In the evening, Vanilla briefed Yang Anjing after Li Shentan had gotten rid of the Pyro Company spies in their group. His main point was to inform the other groups that not everyone from the Pyro Company were tattooed with their serial numbers.

At the very least, the two Pyro Company members discovered in their group were not tattooed.

It might not necessarily be useful to let the other teams know about this. After all, without any identifiable symbols or Li Shentan’s method of puppeteering, it would be very difficult to weed out the Pyro Company’s spies.

They could only be careful to avoid falling into the Pyro Company’s trap.

After Cheng Yu received the news, he started thinking back on everyone on the team to see if he could identify who might be suspicious.

The first person that came to mind was actually Wang Yun.

That was because Wang Yun left the group the most times during their journey. Although he did not know what Wang Yun was doing, relaying intel was essentially a solo operation. Therefore, Wang Yun was the most suspicious. However, Cheng Yu immediately ruled out Wang Yun. That was because he knew Wang Yun’s true identity. As the Kong Consortium and the Pyro Company were neighbors, there would often be friction between them. If Wang Yun were a Pyro Company member, how could he possibly get into a place like the intelligence agency where political background checks were extremely strict?

Then Cheng Yu also ruled out Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin. However, it was not because of what Ren Xiaosu did but because of Luo Lan.

After all, the animosity between the Qing Consortium and the Pyro Company all these years could not have been faked. It was undeniable that the Qing Consortium had killed many members of the Pyro Company. If Ren Xiaosu were really Luo Lan’s backer, he would definitely not be related to the Pyro Company.

Cheng Yu locked onto 12 people as the prime suspects. They were the two teams with five and seven members respectively.

The reason he suspected them was because their people often disappeared somewhere as well.

Furthermore, Cheng Yu also took note that more than half of these people had been keeping watch on the night the middle-aged man carried out a sneak attack on White Mask. By picking this timing, who knew if it might be related to this as well?

Cheng Yu did not tell the others about this. Instead, he decided to observe them for a while more to avoid alerting the enemy.

When the night sky was completely covered in darkness and the night watchmen were about to switch shifts, a strange power suddenly enveloped the shattered statue at a spot far away from the campsite.

The statue had been completely smashed by Luo Lan, and the fragments alone probably numbered in the dozens.

But under the control of this mysterious power, the dozens of fragments actually started moving by themselves and strangely reassembled back together to form a complete statue.

Moreover, with the body and face of the statue fully covered in cracks, it made the smiling statue look exceptionally terrifying and ferocious.

Following this, the statue slowly lifted off the ground and flew towards the campsite at a constant speed.

As it passed through the forest, it did not touch a single leaf or a single weed. It was silent as it approached the campsite.

The statue was approaching the flickering flame of the campsite. When it was about five meters away, the statue suddenly came to a stop and seemed to be spying on the movements in the campsite.

At this moment, there was still another half an hour before the night watchmen switched shifts. Right now, it was the most tiring period for these people.

The statue started moving again and flew towards the entrance of a tent in the campsite.

But when it was about to enter the campsite, a figure leaped out of nowhere and attacked it with a kick. With a crash, the statue shattered to pieces.
