Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 106 The Whereabouts of the Black Church
"Xu Zhaoting?"

Just as Xu Zhaoting was immersed in his memories, the name he heard from behind made his hair stand on end.

Xu Zhaoting turned around suddenly, with the lightning seal on his palm ready to go, and then he saw a familiar face staring at him in confusion, and he quickly reacted.
"Are you Li Yu?"

The two looked at each other first, and then fell into an awkward silence. Li Yu was just an unknown person in the class, while Xu Zhaoting attracted much attention because of his powerful thunder system. The two were not in the same circle, and their familiarity with each other was limited to calling each other's names.

At this critical moment, it was Xu Zhaoting's girlfriend who broke the deadlock.

"Zhao Ting, is this your friend?"

Xu Zhaoting came back to his senses and introduced:
"His name is Li Yu. Like Mo Fan, he was my classmate in high school."

Then he introduced the girl next to him to Li Yu.
"This is my girlfriend Zhang Lulu."

"Hello."

"Hello."

Li Yu simply greeted Xu Zhaoting's girlfriend Zhang Lulu, and Xu Zhaoting realized something and asked with a puzzled look,

“How come you suddenly appeared behind me?” Forget about acquaintances who have not seen each other for a long time and try to build relationships. Everyone is not very familiar with each other, so it is enough for them to be well. There is no need to force themselves to get together, just like he did not approach Mo Fan when he first saw him.

Li Yu also recalled his original intention and asked:

"You shouldn't be the one asking me this question, but you. Why are you sneaking around in broad daylight?"

"Sneaky? Any?"

Xu Zhaoting was puzzled at first, but then his expression suddenly changed.

"not good."

He rushed out. The streets near Mingzhu Academy were still bustling with people coming and going, but the figure he was chasing disappeared. Xu Zhaoting stomped his feet in anger.
"what!"

Seeing Xu Zhaoting's reaction, Li Yu's heart sank. He roughly guessed that he might have ruined Xu Zhaoting's business. As expected, the other party immediately rushed over aggressively and pressed the defenseless Li Yu against the wall. His eyes were red and his expression was ferocious.

"Why did you come out to interrupt me! Why!"

"I caught them right away, you know that!"

"..."

Emotions of anger and sadness blended together, as if Li Yu had just committed an unforgivable crime.

"Zhao Ting..." Zhang Lulu, who was standing next to him, seemed to be seeing Xu Zhaoting in such a disgraceful and horrible state for the first time, and she was watching worriedly from the side.

Li Yu noticed the content of the other party's words.
"Catch them? Catch who?"

But one thing is certain, Li Yu interrupted Xu Zhaoting's continued output.
"Are you looking for someone?"

"Forehead…"

Xu Zhaoting was startled. Without his answer, Li Yu confirmed his guess and continued:

"If you still remember what that person looks like, I can take you to find him."

"Really?" Xu Zhaoting's grip loosened.

Li Yu exerted a little force and broke Xu Zhaoting's hand that was holding his collar off.
"Follow me, while the time is not too long, you still have a chance to intercept that person."

Li Yu led the way in front. Xu Zhaoting gritted his teeth and followed, unwilling to give up his last chance. Behind him was Zhang Lulu, who had been worried about Xu Zhaoting's abnormal condition.

On the way, Li Yu casually asked:

"Can I ask who you are looking for?" Hearing this, Xu Zhaoting paused. Li Yu, who noticed something was wrong, turned around and saw Xu Zhaoting lowering his eyes.
"That person should be a member of the Black Church. I smell the scent of the black beast on him."

When Xu Zhaoting learned that the disaster in Bo City was caused by the Black Church, he tried his best to collect information about the Black Church. In addition to finding out the human tragedies caused by the Black Church, he also roughly understood certain characteristics of the members of the Black Church, including the black beasts that are standard among the lower-level personnel.

"The Black Church? The Black Beast?"

Li Yu's expression changed as soon as he heard these two key words. It was the same expression as Xu Zhaoting.

"Don't move."

Li Yu raised his hand and took one from each of them before Xu Zhaoting and Zhang Lulu could react.

Wind track afterimage!

Passersby on the street only felt a strong wind blowing past their ears and continued on their way. Two minutes later, Li Yu appeared outside the police station with the confused Xu Zhaoting and Zhang Lulu.

Zhang Lulu, who had just stopped and endured the whole journey, finally couldn't stand it anymore and vomited in front of the police station without caring about her image. Xu Zhaoting, who had awakened his wind element, felt much better, but his stomach was also churning.

Xu Zhaoting suppressed his discomfort and looked up at the sign in front of him.
"Police station? Why are you here?"

"Check the surveillance."

Li Yu simply left three words and walked inside first, while Xu Zhaoting followed, supporting his seriously unwell girlfriend.

Afterwards, Xu Zhaoting witnessed the negotiation process between Li Yu and the police officer. He took out his ID and said he needed to retrieve the surveillance footage. After looking at it, the latter said he was welcome to do so.

"What are you standing there for? Come here quickly. This opportunity cannot be missed."

Xu Zhaoting came back to his senses from his shock, nodded quickly, and went straight to the computer, instructing the police to call up the surveillance footage of the streets near Mingzhu Academy.

Perhaps it was God who paid off his efforts. It didn't take long for Xu Zhaoting to find the whereabouts of the member of the Black Church. Li Yu came forward to check and frowned slightly.

"A student from our school?"

"Yes."

Xu Zhaoting's nod made Li Yu realize the widespread influence of the Black Church. The students of Mingzhu Academy were so promising, but they were willing to act as minions of the Black Church. On the surface, they were no different from ordinary people. No wonder such an organization that was hated by everyone could become more and more powerful under the joint encirclement of many countries, and dared to jump out from time to time to commit bloody crimes that shocked the world.

However, the Black Church was only difficult to deal with when their identities were concealed. Once exposed to the sun, they would be exposed. With the help of surveillance, the two men eventually locked the location of the Black Church in a certain residential area.

"Is it here?"

Li Yu frowned when he saw where the other party disappeared. That community was not somewhere else, but exactly where he was renting in Tuya Community. Tuya Community was a community with a large population. Once a fight broke out there, innocent people would inevitably be hurt.

"Let's go to Tuya Community."

The two of them changed their target again. On the way, Li Yu told Xu Zhaoting about his considerations, and the latter was also in a dilemma.
"Should we notify the trial?"

Xu Zhaoting suggested that no organization would be more professional than the Inquisition in confronting the Black Vatican.

Li Yu shook his head. He wanted to, but...

"There is no evidence!"

The trial committee is not the Eastern Factory of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Evidence is needed to arrest someone. If no strong evidence can be found, Xu Zhaoting’s guess alone will never be accepted by the trial committee.

Fortunately, the trip to the police station was not in vain. At least the identity information of the Mingzhu student, Fu Tianming, was retrieved from the police station system.

When the three of them arrived at Tuya Community, the community security guard was about to greet Li Yu, a resident of the community, but saw the other party raise his hand to show his hunter certificate. Then a similar scene that had been played out at the police station was played out again. Xu Zhaoting and Zhang Lulu, who had seen Fu Tianming's face, were responsible for checking the surveillance, while Li Yu was looking for information about the residents of the community.

Contrary to Li Yu's expectations, this search actually yielded an unexpected surprise.
