Under Jane Chen's command, the entire investigation team immediately sprang into action.<br><br>At this moment, Victor Qin was truly a bit stunned. He kept a wary eye on the three armed personnel, his gaze revealing deep apprehension. With his cunning and experience, he naturally discerned that these three fully armed soldiers were different from the desperados he encountered outside the city and also unlike the guards from the satellite city he usually dealt with.<br><br>He signaled his subordinates with his eyes to stay put and wait patiently.<br><br>When Luke Sin asked about the time when he killed Charlie Wong and the location where he disposed of the body, Victor Qin promptly answered.<br><br>"Proceed immediately with the investigation, and bring along the relevant individual, Victor Qin, in case he conceals the truth."<br><br>Han Bing's voice came through the earpiece.<br><br>Upon hearing her words, Luke Sin immediately told the armed personnel, "Get in the vehicle."<br><br>Then he nodded at Victor Qin, "You come along too."<br><br>The armed personnel swiftly moved into action. One went to start the vehicle, while the other two stood behind Victor Qin.<br><br>Victor Qin glanced at the cold submachine guns in the arms of these people, then turned to look at Luke Sin. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth, and for reasons unknown, the man from the wilderness uttered not a word, simply following them into the jeep.<br><br>As they drove to the front yard, the nominal manager hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, "Big brother…"<br><br>"Wait for us!"<br><br>Victor Qin shouted to them through the window.<br><br>The armed personnel in the vehicle ignored Victor Qin and the reaction from Quad Logistics, or rather, they didn't pay it any mind whatsoever.<br><br>Luke Sin also didn't express any opinions since there was no prompt from the earpiece.<br><br>He could sense that the atmosphere changed the moment these three investigation team members reported to him.<br><br>Although the investigation team members only numbered three, Victor Qin's subordinates were more than ten times their count. However, from the swift and decisive quality of these highly trained armed personnel and their live ammunition, if a conflict were to arise, Victor Qin's men might just be walking into their doom. The disparity between the two sides was starkly apparent.<br><br>Victor Qin surely noticed this disparity too, which is why he was behaving so obediently now.<br><br>Yet, subtly, Luke Sin felt that these three investigation team members seemed to be somewhat wary of him...<br><br>For instance, the soldier who appeared the youngest would often glance at him when Luke wasn't paying attention.<br><br>But whenever Luke made eye contact with him, he would...<br><br>Suddenly, Luke Sin turned his head toward the left window, and the young soldier by the window swiftly turned his head away.<br><br>Cradling his gun, he sat upright and still.<br><br>The vehicle drove toward the southern area of the city, where there lay a swath of abandoned factories and chaotic paths. Waist-deep weeds grew all around, alongside haphazard piles of cement, rubble, and even half-completed buildings visible in the distance. Some tall steel structures had rusted from years of neglect, rendering the entire region desolate and devoid of any human presence.<br><br>The road was rugged, but their modified jeep was adept at navigating such complex terrains.<br><br>"Just up ahead."<br><br>In the car, Victor Qin pointed to a more specific location. He seemed a bit anxious, and unconsciously, he began to speak more: "It was behind that dirt mound where the deal took place. I also shot Mr. Travis there. At the time, he seemed drunk, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary... The body was disposed of behind that patch of grass, where packs of wild dogs often roam."<br><br>"I suggest an immediate psychic energy scan of these two locations and the surrounding 300 meters."<br><br>Han Bing's voice came through the earpiece.<br><br>"Agreed," Jane Chen quickly followed with her own comment. "The appearance of a psychic pollution source, while different from ordinary pollution incidents, still has traces. Addressing a mental pollution incident requires identifying the origin of the psychic taint, which usually begins with a significant psychic disturbance. The moment a person is killed, the psychic disturbance is intense, and most post-mortem transformation incidents start at this time."<br><br>"Of course, there is data suggesting some transformations occur due to post-mortem stimulation of the corpse."<br><br>In truth, the three armed personnel in the vehicle also wore earpieces and had already heard the recommendations from the information analysis team.<br><br>Therefore, after disembarking, they merely exchanged glances with Luke Sin for his approval before proceeding.<br><br>Luke Sin knew this was a learning opportunity and keenly observed their actions.<br><br>He watched as they adeptly unloaded a black case from the vehicle. Using a passcode, they unlocked a complex lock to reveal a completely silver device that resembled a rectangular satellite phone. Atop it stood four metal rods supporting a circular ring, an alarm device, resembling a metal detector from old movies.<br><br>One person stayed on guard, while the other two donned specialized helmets—round, thick, and fitted with transparent visors. The most intriguing aspect to Luke Sin was that most of the helmet seemed to be made of a special type of glass.<br><br>"The instrument they're using now is a simplified psychic energy scanner, recently put into use," Jane Chen continued lecturing Luke Sin over the channel. "Psychic energy is inherently invisible, or rather, an ordinary person's psychic energy rarely reaches a level detectible by instruments. However, some psychic taint origins or mutants exceed certain thresholds. Combined with new materials developed at Eclipse Academy, detection becomes feasible."<br><br>"However, these instruments are still in the research and experimental phase. They can sense psychic disturbances but lack precision."<br><br>"The helmets they wear are protective measures to avoid contamination from abnormal psychic energy. Previously, the file I gave you should have explained that glass is currently the best material we have found to insulate against the spread of psychic epidemics."<br><br>Luke Sin merely murmured lowly, "Mm."<br><br>He dared not admit that within those files, he primarily focused on the sections about salary and benefits.<br><br>Regarding the locations Victor Qin mentioned for killing and disposing of Charlie Wong, as well as the surrounding environment, the investigation team quickly completed their scans. They even found some bone fragments suspected to belong to Charlie Wong, yet detected no abnormal psychic energy.<br><br>"Are you sure these are the places?" Luke Sin turned to Victor Qin, reconfirming.<br><br>Victor Qin's face was somber, hiding a tinge of fear: "Given my life is on the line, do you think I'd lie?"<br><br>Luke Sin also believed Victor Qin wasn't concealing anything, nor did he doubt the investigation team's findings. When he looked at these two areas, he didn't notice anything unusual. Unlike before in the café, or the first time meeting Victor Qin, there were no signs of abnormal entities akin to mutated flesh visible.<br><br>This highlighted the importance of the information analysis team.<br><br>Luke Sin directly inquired, "What should we do?"<br><br>"If there are no issues at the death and body disposal sites, we must consider other factors," Han Bing coolly analyzed over the channel. "Firstly, how did those individuals become influenced?"<br><br>"Every psychic taint origin has a certain contamination range. Only upon entering this range does contamination occur."<br><br>"According to current data, these individuals had no connections with each other, were strangers, yet all became members of the 'avenger.' This indicates that these unrelated individuals must have intersected at some point in their lifetimes..."<br><br>"The location where they intersected might very well be the origin of this contamination incident."<br><br>"I suggest organizing personnel to investigate the identities and life paths of those 'avengers' before they died!")
