519 Fishing (1/2)

The picture on the disc was bloody.

As a strange monster, the mental attribute of the fog monster greatly differed from human being. The perception and understanding of the world were also very different. Wang Lu directly extracted its memory using the soul searching technique, so naturally, it was difficult to interpret it intuitively.

However, Wang Lu didn't further process the information and just presented it as it was. Most of the people present were ignorant of what they saw, but since they were all elites, they were able to interpret some of the content.

”From the perspective of the fog monster… It's bloody red, which seems to indicate that it has been at a highly stimulated condition. But there's no clear object in its field of vision, probably because its perception is blinded and nothing could be seen.”

Liu Xian speculated in a soft voice.

Wang Lu said, ”The illusion of the opponent can deceive you, these elites, so it could certainly also fool this monster's mind. Not to mention that the perception ability of this fog monster is average, so it's normal that it couldn't see anything… However, don't you think that this bloody red background is very strange? The fog monster is a bloodthirsty creature, but when it's in the tracking mode, the fog monster is only interested in the blood of the target creature.”

Liu Xian immediately responded, ”In other words, this highly stimulated state was because the fog monster found the blood of Junior Brother Donghua?”

”Yes, and it's a large amount of blood.” Wang Lu added, ”Let's combine this with the next question: as a tracker, Shen Yiwen had received very strict training in the sect, and is extremely vigilant… How could he suddenly be killed that he couldn't even have the time to raise the alarm?”

Ouyang Shang said, ”It's probably because he relaxed his vigilance. After all, the training at the sect is limited, and many on-the-spot reactions can't be done correctly without accumulating enough experience.”

”However, for a vigilant pursuer to relax his vigilance… I think it can be easily deduced that Junior Brother Shen Yiwen encountered a situation.”

Liu Xian said incredulously, ”Do you think he saw… Wang Donghua?”

”Accurately speaking, I'm afraid it's the corpse of Wang Donghua. The blood of a living person is far less attractive to the fog demon than that of the dead. To be able to make the fog monster produce such a high level of stimulation, I'm afraid only the whole body could do it.”

Ouyan Shang then said, ”The opponent is likely to be in control of the corpse using the puppet technique, or taking possession of it… In short, after Junior Brother Yiwen saw the living Wang Donghua, he was lulled into putting down his guard, and then was killed by a sneak attack. This is probably the truth of the matter.”

Wang Lu said, ”Of course, this is all just our speculation, and we can't rule out other possibilities. But all in all, I hope you all can learn from this, always remain alert and vigilant to every change around us. Learn from Junior Brother Shen Yiwen's mistake.”

The words were harsh and grim, so they didn't any response, but Wang Lu did not care. He came with Ouyang Shang, each with a different task. Ouyang Shang who had a good relationship with his Junior Brothers and Sisters was responsible for being a good cop, while he… was responsible for saying things that no one liked to listenw but had to be said.

It was necessary to sum up the experience and lessons, but no one wanted to continue listening to this bloody conclusion.

”Then, what are we going to do next?” Liu Xian tried to change the topic.

”Withdraw.” Wang Lu gave his answer right away. ”Everyone withdraw to the sect and hand over the matter to the Elders.”

”What solution is this?” Liu Xian could hardly accept it. ”You want us to let go of Junior Brother Wang and Junior Brother Shen and just run away?”

Wang Lu coldly said, ”I want you guys to at least save your own life. Previously, Wang Donghua's life or death was still unknown, so you insisted on the search and rescue operation, thinking that he was taken as a hostage. Because of this, Junior Brother Shen Yiwen paid with his life. Now, relying on the sacrifice of Junior Brother Shen, we basically have clarified the situation. Do you want Junior Brother Shen's sacrifice in vain?”

”We will make Junior Brother Shen's sacrifice in vain if we leave now!” Liu Xian heatedly argued, ”Not to mention how did you know for sure that Junior Brother Wang and Junior Brother Shen are dead? Perhaps...”

Wang Lu chuckled and said, ”Perhaps they're still alive? Perhaps they are just locked up, waiting for us to save them one day? Ha! You might as well assume that they might make a breakthrough in their potential in a critical moment and instantly become immortals. Be sensible, okay? You are, after all, one of the key subjects for the management trainee program, and the leader of one of the teams, but if you don't even have the ability to face reality…”

”Enough, I know what you want to say. You are just trying to find an excuse to escape, you coward of unknown origin!” Liu Xian angrily interrupted, ”I don't want to hear any more of your nonsense… Big Brother, what do you say?”

However, when Liu Xian looked at his Big Brother with a hopeful look, what he saw was a complicated look.

Liu Xian stared at him in astonishment. In a trance, he felt as if his Big Brother had turned into a strange person.

”Big Brother, you're… you're not supporting him aren't you?”

”…”

”Junior Brother Yiwen is still waiting for us to help him! Perhaps Junior Brother Donghua is not dead yet. He has the golden nucleus puppet, which is tantamount to having many lives. Even if a Daoist Master of Yuanying Stage wants to kill him, it would not be easy! Perhaps what the fog monster smelled was just the bloody taste of the golden nucleus puppet! It's too hasty to conclude that they are dead!”

Liu Xian argued hard but was only met with the long silence from Ouyang Shang.

”Big Brother, I…”

However, when he reached this point, Liu Xian finally could not go on. He turned his head toward the other people and saw that, although they seemed embarrassed about it, everyone was standing on Ouyang Shang's side.

Such was the prestige of the Big Brother of the golden generation. As long as he had made his decision, they would accept it, no matter how difficult it was for them.
