Rebirth in Another World: My Brother is an Intelligent Being

Lei Wuji couldn't help it and took a few steps forward to ask.

"Big Boss, how do you know it wasn't done by a monster?"

Zero pointed at the wall.

"Claw marks. Judging from the depth of the claw marks, even if the Wind Wolf King came, such a heavy physical attack would definitely leave its hair behind or even cause injury."

"But apart from the damaged wall, there's not a single animal fur or tissue on it."

"Could it be an elemental attack?" Lei Shuangshuang asked doubtfully. She remembered that the Wind Wolf King's wind blade would also leave similar claw marks on the wall.

Lei Wuji shook his head and explained to his sister, "The cut surface of an elemental attack won't be so rough."

"There's no trace of elemental power on it. It's not an elemental attack." Zero gave an affirmative answer.

Several people walked around the house and checked it carefully again.

Lei Feiyi was shocked then. Yes, if it was really done by Warcraft, there must have been a fierce fight in the room, it is impossible that not a single hair was lost.

After searching the room, Lei Wuji said, "There's no animal hair in the entire room. This is definitely not normal."

"But the monster footprints in this house..." Lei Feiyi was speechless. It was because of these claw marks and the clear monster footprints outside the house that they all believed that it was a monster attack. After all, monster attacks happen everywhere, and there are more than one example.

After confirming that it was not the work of Warcraft, Lei Wuji also fell into confusion.

Originally, he came here relying on Ouyang Siyu and Zhang Xuanyi. After all, they were seniors, and Zhang Xuanyi was also knowledgeable. They came to determine the level and type of the monsters so that they could conduct targeted searches.

Now, if we tell them directly that it is not Warcraft, they won’t even have a rough idea of ​​their goal.

So, where should they start looking?

Li Xingchen thought of the mechanical mouse that had been following them before, and a flash of inspiration seemed to flash through his mind, and he blurted out,

"Is it possible that it's a mechanical monster?"

This made the others stunned.

The college's research department sometimes creates mechanical squirrels, mechanical cats, and the like.

If you put it that way, it's not completely impossible. After all, there are scientific research talents outside. It's normal to make some mechanical or other beasts. They are sold on the black market in Mo City.

Before anyone could speak, Li Xingcheng suddenly remembered Hu Zhiyong, who had said he wanted to pass on a message to him.

Two days have passed, so any news should have come by now.

There is still no news. Is it because the process of recruiting the Hu family is too difficult, or is it because Hu Zhiyong is not capable enough?

The Hu family has a modified mechanical bird, which means there are scientific research talents or teams behind the Hu family. This may serve as a clue.

Li Xingchen felt that simply waiting for news from the Hu family wouldn't do the trick. He tried to recall what had happened that day in his mind.

Pilot? Mocheng? Ye family?

By the way, there is a black market in Mo City, and they sometimes sell mechanical pets there.

Thinking of this, Li Xingchen quickly asked No. 2 to open the private chat interface with Lin Yin.

Li Xingchen: Lin Yin, can you let your organization monitor the Hu family, and then investigate the Ye family in Mocheng?

Lin Yin: Wait a moment.

After a while, Lin Yin sent a chat screenshot, the content is as follows:

Yin: Brother, Xingchen asked if we can monitor the Hu family and investigate the Ye family.

Shang: Tell him that the assassin I killed was not the secret guard he hired!

Shang: Since he helped you, I can help him investigate the Ye family.

Li Xingchen couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. There was nothing wrong with what Yun Shang said. It was an equal exchange, one thing for one thing, it was fair.

Li Xingchen replied to Lin Yin: "Then thank your brother for me. Please help me find out if there are any mechanical pets for sale on the Ye family's black market recently. When will you arrive?"

Lin Yin: Tomorrow night.

In the evening, everyone dispersed.

Before sitting in meditation, Li Xingchen asked Zero.

"Brother couldn't detect the monster either?"

Zero shook his head slightly and said truthfully, "I can only detect energy bodies. What attacked the residents was not an energy body."

Li Xingchen stroked his chin, thoughtfully. "If it's not an energy body, then at least it's definitely not alive... Could it be that I was right and it's mechanical?"

Zero thought for a moment and said, "Machines are powered by elemental forces or energy bodies. The mechanical bird we saw before was infused with elemental forces and could self-destruct when necessary. I can't sense it in that room."

Li Xingchen nodded. "So, this time, they can only use physical attacks. But how did their footprints disappear? Can they really fly?"

Zero shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either, then he took a meditation posture and urged,

"Let's practice first. We can continue investigating the monster tomorrow."

"Okay, listen to brother."

The next day, the nine-member law enforcement team changed their strategy. Instead of searching in the mud caves in the mountains and forests where monsters often appeared, they sneaked into residential areas.

Last night, the more Lei Wuji thought about it, the more he felt that Li Xingchen's guess made sense, so he contacted the law enforcement team to check whether there had been any strange things happening at the foot of the mountain recently, or whether any new forces had entered.

The Lei family in the supernatural law enforcement team replied that no new forces have entered recently.

So Lei Wuji asked people to record and make a copy of all those who had settled in Leifeng Mountain in the past two years, whether they were forming new forces, doing business, or other small groups, and then assigned them to several people to check one by one.

However, they worked until the evening, and even when Lin Yin arrived, they still didn't find anything useful.

All the friends have arrived. In the evening, the head of the Lei family held a dinner in the banquet hall. Lei Batian finally met his son's friends.

Lei Wuji introduced them to his father one by one.

Several people also politely called him "Uncle Lei".

Lei Batian nodded politely to the others. When he introduced the two junior students, Li Xingchen and Li Linghao, Lei's father asked,

"May I ask if you two are from a hidden family?"

The question was quite direct.

The two had heard Yun Shang mention that the various families were still investigating them. Zero was not a talkative person. Li Xingchen thought about it and answered seriously.

"Uncle Lei, my brother and I have lived together since we were young, relying on each other for survival. We have never met anyone else. If you were to say we have been secluded from the world, we have indeed lived there for the past few years, but we can't really be considered part of the family."

Lei Batian chuckled after hearing this, "Oh, is that so? Uncle Lei was just asking casually, you two young friends don't have to take it to heart."

Several thoughts flashed through my mind instantly.

He felt that the two of them might really not know the existence of their family, or they might be hiding something. These two possibilities were the most likely.
