”The problem is, we still haven't located the source of the plague?” Mo Fan said with a frown.
The defective blood serums still did not prove anything. At most, Councilman Luo Mian would only be accused of selling 'fake blood serums'. The plague that brought terror to Hangzhou City had still not resolved completely.
”Don't worry, I've already planted a bug on one of them,” said Little Loli Lingling professionally.
”You're surely the expert here,” Mo Fan could not help reaching his hand out to pinch Lingling's face again. Her adorable face immediately turned into a tigress glaring at Mo Fan. He had no choice but to lower it.
The sound coming from the microphone was crisp and clear. The one with a fairly rough voice was none other than the Vice Elder of the Magic Court, Wang Yi.
Wang Yi was bringing his men straight toward Hangzhou's quarantine zone. He was most likely heading back to meet Councilman Luo Mian.
Mo Fan was also suspicious of Councilman Luo Mian, but Tangyue, Tang Zhong, and Heiyu trusted him and believed he was on the side of the Totem Guardians. To everyone's surprise, he had switched sides almost instantly and colluded with Zhu Meng.
There's no fire without smoke. Luo Mian's decision had immediately intrigued the Elder of the Magic Court, Li Tian. It turned out that Li Tian and Leng Qing had acquired some evidence that suggested the Councilman was up to something...

Hangzhou's quarantine zone...
Under the white tents lay rows of beds with patients shrieking on them. It sounded like the cries of ghouls.
As time gradually passed, the wounds festered even more. The antibiotics obtained from the snake's blood were no longer efficient at stopping the virus from spreading...
”Someone has died. The number will continue to increase in the next twenty-four hours,” a Healer said to Mr. Lu in a soft tone.
”I got it,” Mr. Lu let out a sigh and said slowly, ”The virus is still in the patient's blood. It will eventually end up in their heart and brain. If these two vital organs are infected, we will have to be extremely cautious when treating them...”
”Yeah.”
”Councilman Luo Mian is here at the quarantine zone.”
”What's he doing?”
Mr. Lu went over to the quarantine zone and saw Councilman Luo Mian and his men walking pass the patients. His freckled face filled with a hint of worry.
Unlike everyone else, he was not wearing a mask...
”Councilman, please save us...” A middle-aged Magician half-sat on the bed while hugging his kid, who seemed to be around ten years old.
Both of their bodies were covered in blisters, especially their faces. They looked fairly hideous.
The Judges of the Magic Court rebuked him when they saw him trying to grab the Councilman's hand. They tried to push him away.
