Hengxing Wuji, a target of the Kangyang District Lingjing Walker Squad's recent search and capture operation, is one of the Black Wuchang's confidants, a Level 3 Wugushi (sorcerer).
During the ride in a business car to the meeting location, Li Dongze warned in a solemn voice:
"Based on the information we obtained from the spirit of the Wugushi we previously eliminated, 'Hengxing Wuji' is a Level 3 Wugushi, with a high probability of having over 90% experience, making him a true peak existence in the Extraordinary stage."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded gravely.
The combat power of evil professions is stronger than that of ordinary orderly professions. If Hengxing Wuji's experience reaches 90%, it means that a Level 3 Ye You Shen (Night Walker) with low experience would likely be beaten if they encountered him.
Guan Ya smiled and said, "Don't worry, we have more people."
The number of walkers in the orderly camp is quite impressive. In comparison, although evil professions are powerful, their numbers are far fewer than those of the orderly camp.
After a short while, they arrived at their destination, a private club in a bustling area.
The club is called "Qingting Health Club," focusing on beauty, health, and relaxation. The interior environment is pleasant, with a large number of green plants, and cute pet cats and dogs strolling and playing in the lush green grass.
The decoration style is typically Chinese, with an ancient and elegant atmosphere, featuring rattan chairs, round tables, wooden carvings, and ink paintings.
Entering the club and walking on the stone-paved lawn, Zhang Yuanqing admired the pleasant scenery while hearing Guan Ya say beside him:
"This is one of the properties of the Baihua Association, usually used as a squad base, with Qingting as the captain."
Seeing Zhang Yuanqing's puzzled expression, she explained helplessly, "She's the one in the ink-painted qipao, with a large chest and a round bottom."
Zhang Yuanqing suddenly understood, "Oh, her."
Indeed, she is a Scorpio! Guan Ya silently cursed in her heart.
After a few minutes, a sunroom with an area of about thirty square meters appeared ahead.
In the center of the room was a rough round wooden table, around which sat over a dozen Lingjing Walkers.
Zhang Yuanqing followed the squad leader, pushed open the door of the sunroom, and scanned the room, seeing several familiar faces: the big sister in the racing suit, Bai Long; the beautiful woman in the qipao, Qingting; the muscular man in tight clothing, Da Juba; and the middle-aged man in a miner's hat, Tang Guoqiang.
As for the others, he did not recognize them.
Is this hat a prop? What function does it have, to make the head as hard as iron? Zhang Yuanqing glanced at Tang Guoqiang, the boss of a construction company, who had changed his clothes but stubbornly wore the hat.
He didn't find it strange before, but now, anything that a Lingjing Walker carries with them is likely a prop.
"Hey, our Ye You Shen is here," Bai Long raised an eyebrow, "How's it going, following Li Dongze? If you're not happy, you can come to my side. Every day, good wine, good meat, and beautiful girls."
Da Juba laughed, "I think following Li Dongze has no future, unless he gives you a girlfriend."
The official walkers around the long table all looked over, with curiosity, scrutiny, and kindness, making Zhang Yuanqing the center of attention.
The experience in She Ling Tunnel only made him slightly famous, but after passing through Jinshui Amusement Park, the ID "Yuanshi Tianzun" became a star in the Songhai branch.
Li Dongze opened his mouth to speak, instinctively wanting to shield his subordinate to avoid making him too awkward and nervous. But then he thought it wasn't necessary.
Zhang Yuanqing said solemnly, "Maybe in a few months, the squad leader will be following me."
Everyone was taken aback and couldn't help but laugh, starting to tease Li Dongze.
Li Dongze led his two subordinates to their seats and cleared his throat, "Let's get to business."
The walkers around the table put away their smiles, and Qingting, as the host, said:
"Our 'informant' saw Hengxing Wuji appear in a villa complex near Runmin Square early this morning, but we can't yet determine if it's a hiding place or a location of his accomplices."
"The Baihua Association's informants are stray animals, spread throughout Songhai," Guan Ya whispered to Zhang Yuanqing.
Stray animals? Oh, right, the Sage Realm's Wood Demon has another name, Beast King. Zhang Yuanqing nodded slightly.
Tang Guoqiang frowned and said:
"I know that complex; it's inhabited by rich people. To capture him, we need to clear the area."
Da Juba immediately opposed, "No, clearing the area would cause too much commotion. Hengxing Wuji would definitely escape. We need to act swiftly and catch him off guard."
He didn't like too much preparation; just do it.
Li Dongze pondered and said:
"Clearing the area is indeed inappropriate, as it could alert him. I have two plans: one is to ask Captain Fu to take action, aiming for a quick and decisive victory. The second is to use a prop to isolate the villa where Hengxing Wuji is, and then corner him."
A man with a gloomy demeanor frowned and said:
"Captain Fu is pursuing Black Wuchang and may not have the energy to focus here. We need to make our own plans and not rely solely on his help."
Zhang Yuanqing listened silently. There were 15 official walkers gathered here, five squad leaders, and ten elite members, forming the special task force in Kangyang District responsible for the Black Wuchang case.
This force should be more than enough to deal with a Level 3 Wugushi.
"I have a question," Zhang Yuanqing raised his hand.
Everyone looked over.
"If 'Hengxing Wuji' is an evil profession controlled by the Fallen Holy Grail, like Ou Xiangrong, what should we do?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.
Ou Xiangrong managed to escape the encirclement because of the power of the Fallen Holy Grail, which turned the originally deadly evil energy into a trump card.
Da Juba said, "Don't worry, we have props to counteract evil powers."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded in relief.
Qingting, wearing a moon-white qipao today, looked at Zhang Yuanqing and asked with a smile:
"Do you have any other ideas?"
First, I'll use the red dancing shoes, then the Elvis Presley speaker to shock him, then the Little Dopey to swap vision, and finally summon the ghost bride. After this series of actions, the Level 3 Wugushi will either die or be severely injured. As the master, I just need to orchestrate from behind the scenes. Zhang Yuanqing shook his head:
"I will follow the squad leaders' arrangements."
Although he didn't offer substantial suggestions, the squad leaders were satisfied with his attitude.
Qingting said:
"First, notify Captain Fu to confirm whether to follow Plan One or Plan Two. But regardless, it's best to act at night to minimize destruction and impact.
"Also, try to replace the property management of that villa complex with our people. No, not all of them, just some of them."
On the second floor of the villa, Fu Qingyang, wearing a neat white suit and a stylish short ponytail, knocked on Lingjun's door with a stern face.
"What's up?"
Lingjun, dressed completely differently from Fu Qingyang, yawned and complained:
"I played cards with a girl I like until dawn. Can I get some more sleep? Oh, don't worry, it's not one of the bunnies in your villa. I don't eat from my own garden."
"The executive of Fenghua District said they found traces of Black Wuchang and are making plans. They asked me to come and support," Fu Qingyang said:
"You're coming too."
"Found Black Wuchang?" Lingjun's eyes lit up, and he immediately got up, walking down the stairs. After a few steps, he suddenly stopped.
When Fu Qingyang thought Lingjun would say, "I'll change my clothes," Lingjun said:
"Wait, I have a date tonight. I need to notify her and reschedule."
Fu Qingyang's expression became even sterner.
At midnight, three black business cars drove into the villa and parked in a secluded spot.
The doors opened, and the official walkers of the special task force got out silently and orderly.
Zhang Yuanqing looked at the distant villa. Since Captain Fu was busy and couldn't come, this arrest operation was fully handled by the special task force.
A young man in a security uniform walked out of the shadows and came to Qingting, whispering:
"Captain, 'Hengxing Wuji' is inside. I saw him go in with my own eyes."
Qingting's beautiful face was grave as she gently stroked the orange cat in her arms and said softly, "He didn't notice us, right?"
The young man shook his head, "I wore a mask and only glanced at him. I didn't pay much attention. The subsequent surveillance was done by Xiao Q."
Xiao Q is his sparrow.
Qingting nodded, opened her item bar, and pulled out a piece of dry wood about two fingers thick and half a foot long from the void.
In her vision, the prop information appeared:
【Name: Mysterious Garden】
【Type: Auxiliary】
【Function: Barrier, Seal】
【Description: A piece of wood containing abundant vitality. It mostly remains dormant, but when it touches the ground, it revives, transforming a 100-meter radius into a garden. This garden is isolated from the outside world, allowing entry but not exit, with a duration of 30 minutes.】
【Note: The description already explains the cost clearly. What else can I say!】
Qingting looked around at her companions and warned, "We only have half an hour."
She briefly explained the cost of the prop, then took out a red rope, tied it to the orange cat, and stroked its head:
"Go!"
The orange cat nimbly darted out, heading straight for the villa standing in the darkness.
