Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 140 Cruel Reality

"I explored and found that there are four Broken Island. There is one in the middle, and the other three islands surround the island in the middle. The three outer Broken Island are all inhabited by sea monkey monsters with brown hair all over their bodies, while the island in the middle is all inhabited by red monsters." Guan Yu returned to the boat and spoke.

“Why is there a sea monkey monster?” Nanyu was puzzled.

“Sea monkey monsters are the most spineless race in the ocean. They can be seen in every powerful Siren tribe and clan. Their fighting power is average, but they are very good at finding food, stealing, and escaping, and they are extremely servile, so this race is common in the ocean.” At this time, Nan Rongni from the Marine College spoke.

Nan Rongni, like Lin Ran and the others, is from the south. She is the talkative type in the team and is a little closer to Mu Ningxue.

Mu Ningxue was also from the south, and it seemed like the two of them had known each other before. She was also pretty, with a quiet aura like water. Unlike Jiang Shaoxu who was always trying to make her presence felt, she was very quiet.

She knew quite a bit about the sea monkey monster, so she told him what she knew.

In addition, Nan Rongni felt that the reason why human children fell into the mouth of the Red Ling Demon was probably because of the sea monkey monster. These things were only slightly larger than ordinary monkeys. At night, they could easily break through the Anjie and enter the remote fishing village, and then steal the children when the adults were not paying attention.

"Are there many of these sea monkey monsters?" Ai Jiangtu asked.

"I took a look and found that there are about two to three thousand sea monkey monsters on the three islands. It's not a lot, but it's a bit troublesome to deal with them." Guan Yu said.

"So how many Red Ling monsters are there?" Ai Jiangtu asked.

"I won't make a thorough count of this. The Red Ling Monster's perception is stronger than the Sea Monkey Monster. I dare not get too close to their nest. I dare not estimate that there are about one hundred to two hundred of them." Guan Yu said.

“No wonder they said that the sirens have a tribe. The combat power of these more than one hundred red-ling monsters is probably no less than that of a small tribe.” Nan Jue said.

"The strength that the Red Ling Monster showed before was the same as the ones on the island just now. It should not be a problem for us to kill them, but this is the sea area. They have become much stronger, and we are restricted. As one side gains, the other loses, and the situation is very unfavorable..." Ai Jiangtu said.

Although Ai Jiangtu was angry, he was not irrational.

Lin Ran observed several islands. An enlarged Sky Flame Funeral was enough to cover all the islands. In other words, Lin Ran could kill the monsters on these islands with just one magic.

Compared to Sky Flame Funeral, Lin Ran still prefers to use Fiery Fist. After all, Fiery Fist is simple and violent.

Lin Ran clenched his fists, and flames burst out in an instant.

Immortal Fire, Flame of Evolution, and Fire of Disaster.

"Bang~!"

A blazing fire dragon appears.

Others also looked at Lin Ran in surprise, because they had no idea what Lin Ran was going to do or why he suddenly released magic. It was impossible to hit the island from this distance, right?
The muscular man said, "What's wrong with you?"

Ai Jiangtu also spoke up: "The Fiery Fist cannot reach the island."

Lin Ran looked at Ai Jiangtu. Lin Ran didn't say anything and didn't show any expression, but this expression made Ai Jiangtu feel contemptuous. He felt that Lin Ran was looking at them with contempt, as if he was saying that they were all frogs in the well.

Lin Ran looked towards the three islands.

"This is not the Fiery Fist. It is a modified version of the Fiery Fist. Everyone will modify magic to some extent. I just modified it to a greater extent. This is the Fiery Fist that suits me best."

As Lin Ran gathered strength, the Fire Dragon roared.

"Fist of the Fiery Dragon!!!" Lin Ran swung his fist violently.

The scorching fire dragon rushed out in an instant, and the sea water that came into contact with the fire dragon was evaporated in an instant.

Everyone watched as the fire dragon swallowed up the entire island like a world-destroying demonic dragon. They could see the island turning into nothingness under the terrifying impact force.

The four islands melted quickly like white oil in a hot pot, and the sea water churned.

There was silence for a moment.

Lin Ran tilted his head as he looked at the four islands that had disappeared and said, "I shouldn't go to jail for making four islands disappear, right?"

“Damn, you’re really becoming more and more perverted.” Zhao Manyan couldn’t help but say.

At this time, Guan Yu stared at the disappearing island in front of him in amazement. This attack might be more terrifying than high-level magic, right? No wonder the school leaders told him not to provoke Lin Ran before he came.

The expressions of the others also varied; some were surprised, some were thoughtful, and some were confused.

"Let's go check if there are any living demons..." Lin Ran said.

……

After dealing with some remaining sea monsters, everyone returned to Feiniao City. When Lin Junxian knew that they had really killed the Red Ling Monster, he came to greet them in ecstasy.

Lin Junxian thought it was good that someone dared to kill the monsters. Even if they could only kill one or two, they could vent their anger. However, he did not expect this group of young wizards to be able to truly wipe out the sea monsters! !
But now that the demons have been destroyed, the fighting power of these young people is too strong, and it only took a day to go back and forth...

Lin Junxian was not an ordinary person. He looked at these people carefully, and then suddenly thought of something, so he pointed at them and said, "Are you the members of the National Government who have just been selected?"

At this age, with such strength, and each of them has a student temperament. He heard a while ago that the members of the National Government have been completely confirmed, but the list has not been announced for the time being, and their whereabouts are also completely confidential. After understanding the amazing strength of this group of people, Lin Junxian immediately connected several people together with the National Government team!
It must be right, it must be right. Only the players from the National Government could have such extraordinary abilities. They could destroy the sea monster that even an army could not destroy in just one day! !

"Ahem... stop making random guesses." someone said.

There are rules for mentors that do not allow them to reveal their identities.

However, if other people guessed this, they would be helpless.

In fact, this is not difficult to guess. After all, the average age of these people is 22. If they are placed in society, they are considered a group of inexperienced magicians. But now, with combat power and efficiency at the same level as the Hunter Master, they should be the trump cards of each academy, right?
…Just when everyone was resting in the hotel, Jiang Yu and Mu Tingying, who had been investigating the situation in Feiniao City, came back and brought some bad news to everyone.

"Are you saying that someone in the government deliberately condoned the Siren?" Ai Jiangtu stood up suddenly, his whole body filled with terrible murderous aura!
"I'm just guessing now, but it's an ironclad fact that they deliberately concealed the baby's disappearance and death!" Jiang Yu said.

“Damn it! We worked so hard to help them kill the sea monster!!” Nan Jue said angrily, even though it didn’t take much effort.

"Have you found out how many babies are missing?" Ai Jiangtu asked in a calm voice.

"From three years ago to now... there have been more than a hundred cases, and there are more cases every spring. You see, this is what I just secretly obtained from the files of the relevant departments of Feiniao City. Then I spent some money to let some idle young people go to various villages, towns, and counties to inquire one by one, and then found that they were all true! The cases were all attributed to human traffickers... But it is obvious that if a city has babies missing every spring for five years and there is no trace, then it should have been classified as a demon case long ago!" Jiang Yu said.

Cases are generally divided into two types: man-made cases and demon-related cases.

Most man-made cases are solved by the police and special police, while demon cases need to be handled by the Magic Association and the military, such as the City Demon Hunting Team and the City Guard... The hunters in the Hunter Alliance kill demons for a fee. If you encounter a demon case but cannot provide strong evidence to the association or the government, or you think that they are too inefficient as they eat public food, you can hire a hunter to solve it!
In just three short years, there have been more than a hundred disappearances in a small city, and all of them were concentrated in a certain period of time. If there is no sign of human traffickers, then this should be classified as a demon case!
"By the way, we also conducted some investigations and found that someone deliberately tampered with some information to avoid the demon incidents..." Mu Tingying said.

“This Feiniao City is so disappointing. Regardless of whether these things were done by demons or not, such horrific things must be made public as soon as possible, and then more clues and evidence can be collected to prevent more innocent babies from being harmed!” Nan Jue said angrily.

"Hmph, this is such a damn rubbish city government. I'll call my dad right now..." Jiang Shaoxu was also furious.

However, as soon as she said this, everyone looked at her.

Jiang Shaoxu seemed to realize that he had let something slip, so he glared back and said, "What are you looking at? I know I'm beautiful, and is it not possible for me to complain to my dad about this?"

"Miss second-generation official, we are training in hiding, so it is best for us to use our own strength to solve this matter." Mu Tingying said.

"Well, let's not reveal our identities for now, but we have to get to the bottom of the baby's disappearance no matter what. Jiang Yu, have you checked Lin Junxian's background? Is he trustworthy?" Ai Jiangtu asked.

"I've checked. This person runs a family business. Apart from some disputes over real estate and land, he has no bad records. He built a port in Feiniao City and established many schools in nearby villages and towns. He also paid for the construction of the roads here. He is a very conscientious investor." Jiang Yu answered very affirmatively.

"Is there any muddy water in this baby incident?"

"No, in fact, among these missing babies, his cousin is also a victim." Jiang Yu said.

"Then we'd better discuss it with Lin Junxian. He knows Feiniao City better." Ai Jiangtu said.

……

In the Linmao Grand Sky Conference Room

Lin Jun sat leisurely at the main seat at the long conference table, with more than a dozen members of the national team sitting on both sides.

Everyone put the collected information into a USB drive and played it through the projector in the conference room.

Several people were already furious just by listening to Jiang Yu's description, but when the photos of the babies' families who were wailing, crying, and going crazy were displayed, everyone's faces became very ugly!
Most of these people are fishermen and farmers. You can feel the overwhelming sadness from these frozen photos. For the relevant departments, this is just a missing case, an ordinary statistic, but for these families it is everything, a fatal blow!
After such a long time, no one has given them an explanation. Judging from Jiang Yu's news, they are still waiting for the child to be rescued and sent back...

However, everyone knew very well what happened to these people's children. If they were told the truth, they would probably faint!

“Don’t let him go…” Nan Rongni couldn’t bear to watch it any longer, her eyes were red.

"Unforgivable, this is totally unforgivable!" Lin Junxian clenched his fists tightly.

He is just an investor. He came to this city with only one purpose, which is to invest, develop and make money.

But when he arrived at Feiniao City, although every business deal Lin Junxian did had disputes, he could be said to have a clear conscience. However, he did not expect that Feiniao City actually concealed such a shocking fact!!!

He was extremely disappointed. He was really disappointed with the municipal government of Asuka City!
"I'll call that guy Li Jingming right now..." Lin Jun said angrily.

"Chairman Lin, don't worry. The reason we came to discuss this with you is because we don't know who is deliberately covering up for this. Deputy Mayor Li Jingming may also know about this, but he may not be the mastermind. If many things are deliberately concealed by the lower levels, even the mayor will probably not be aware of it." Ai Jiangtu said rationally.

"Yes... yes, I didn't think it through enough." Lin Junxian said.

"Jiang Yu, since you have been able to investigate this far, you should be able to investigate further, right?" Ai Jiangtu asked.

"Of course you can...but the method is a little inhumane." Jiang Yu said.

"What do you think."

"The person behind the scenes has erased his own traces. It may be difficult for us to find him from these clues. However, if a baby goes missing and is reported to the relevant departments, and they do something, I will be able to follow the clues and find the person who concealed the truth!" Jiang Yu said.

“How can we do this? How can we use a child’s life as bait?” Nan Jue was the first to object.

"Then there is no other way." Jiang Yu said.

Everyone was silent.

The complexity of things here was far beyond their imagination, but when they thought of the two babies taken out from the belly of the Red Ling Demon, each of them felt their breathing heavy. If they didn't solve this matter thoroughly, they would feel guilty.

Suddenly, Lin Junxian's cell phone rang. Lin Junxian looked at the caller ID, adjusted his mood and then answered the call.

Originally he wanted to go outside to answer the call, but before he reached the door, Lin Jun was stunned and almost couldn't hold the phone.

At this time, everyone looked over and could vaguely hear a woman crying on the other end of the phone!
Lin Junxian turned around and looked at everyone with a pale face.

"What's wrong?" Mo Fan asked.

"My... my cousin's second child... is missing!!" Lin Junxian's face was extremely terrified at this time. What should I do? What should I do? Lin Junxian was very scared...
