Chapter 241 Taking the Initiative

As the new day's sunlight shone on Hong Kong, the Royal Hong Kong Police Force was already in a state of chaos. The bizarre riot that occurred at the Sai Wan Pier the previous day had already shocked East Asia enough. But as the night passed, the leaders of the Royal Hong Kong Police Force and the Magic Execution Team discovered that the bodies of all the residents who died in the riot had been burned to ashes on three civilian trucks.

Amid a somewhat panicked atmosphere, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police launched a thorough search of all the docks before dawn, but of course, they found nothing. Countless cargo ships and passenger ships were stuck outside the port, clearly indicating that the situation had escalated significantly.

Due to the destruction of the maritime air route network, Yarlin and his group were trapped in Manila and were completely outmaneuvered by a nimble black wizard. After learning about the riots and casualties in Hong Kong, they were utterly shocked. However, they dared not take a plane back to Hong Kong, fearing that unseen enemies would tamper with the plane. Lou Rong, who was used to acting alone, once again broke away from the group and disappeared without a trace.

Hiroyuki Edogawa brought a huge pile of books, which filled the old church floor. Many of them were about viruses and things like "resurrection," "immortality," "the living dead," and "zombies." Although the zombies they encountered were completely different from the "ghouls" and "zombies" commonly seen in the magical world, Hiroyuki Edogawa felt that he could gain a lot of information from them.

Bai Lin and Yan Nishuang, however, were more interested in Zhong Shunwen. He had completely recovered. Apart from being in poor spirits and weak all over, the virus had not caused him any irreversible damage. This gave Yan Nishuang confidence in curing the transformed zombies. Zhong Shunwen became a treasure in this incident. After being "persuaded" (actually coerced) and bribed, Zhong Shunwen was now obedient to Bai Lin and said he would cooperate with their research.

"The Guangdong and Guangxi execution teams will arrive in Hong Kong at noon, and I have to go and meet them!" Yan Nishuang said. Her arm had been treated by Bai Lin (actually, it was Sifu Jiaer) and had basically recovered its spellcasting ability. She had a duty to fulfill and could not stay in the orphanage with Bai Lin forever.

"We can hand Li Kang over and interrogate him together; maybe we can figure out the Light Ship's plan. But I suggest we don't rush to report Zhong Shunwen's situation. If, besides Li Kang, there are other moles within the Eastern Execution Team, I'm afraid it could pose a life-threatening threat to Zhong Shunwen," Bai Lin said calmly.

Yan Nishuang hesitated for a moment, but still agreed. Although she didn't think the Ship of Light was powerful enough to infiltrate execution teams in various places, she still didn't want to put the poor boy Zhong Shunwen in danger before the situation was completely stable.

"The execution team will use mind control on Li Kang, and they should get something out of it. As for the other two, I'll leave their protection to you for now!" Yan Nishuang said, pointing to Edogawa Hiroyuki and Zhong Shunwen.

Bai Lin nodded, took off his baseball cap, and handed it to Yan Nishuang, saying, "Put this on, hopefully it will help." His baseball cap was made from a "magic resistance crown," which could increase magic resistance by 15. It was a life-saving artifact that could negate a lot of magic damage in magic duels, but for Bai Lin, who already had "water shield" and his personal angel, it was no longer necessary.

Yan Nishuang was taken aback, then gladly accepted. The last time Bai Lin had given her a "gift" was four years ago. Thinking about it, Bai Lin's eyes held a hint of resentment.

Bai Lin didn't think much of it. He helped Yan Nishuang put it on properly, saying, "Your portable library contains more than ten thousand volumes." Then he gave her a gentle hug, saying, "Be careful in everything!"

Yan Nishuang's cheeks flushed slightly. She nodded gently, took Li Kang, who was still unconscious, and teleported away.

"Alright, big sister's gone, can I talk now?" said Hiroyuki Edogawa.

Zhong Shunwen was taken aback and said, "Huh? What did you discover? Why are you being so secretive?"

Bai Lin nodded and said, "She has official status, and she has to follow procedures and authority in many things, so I don't need to worry about those things. This organization is far too dangerous. If we let them launch attacks and then escape unscathed, it could cause even greater destruction next time. Once the virus escalates again, it could spread from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, and it would be uncontrollable. It wouldn't be something a single city could withstand. I don't care about their motives, purposes, or the background. What I need now is to find them and take them down!"

Hearing the bloodthirsty undertone in Bai Lin's voice, Zhong Shunwen couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. He had been around the streets for a long time and had seen many gangsters who were always shouting about fighting and killing. But he could tell that Bai Lin had really taken a lot of lives on his hands, and his words carried a kind of murderous authority.

Hiroyuki Edogawa swallowed hard and said, "I found some information. Two years ago, a Japanese biologist published a paper about a plan to activate aging cells and revitalize them. The core of the plan is to introduce a mysterious RNA virus."

Bai Lin shrugged and said, "Don't tell me this scientist has a daughter who was born with a disability, and he's researching this virus just to cure her?"

Hiroyuki Edogawa's eyes widened. "Brother Shiro, how did you know? I only just noticed the clues myself. Weren't you two being all lovey-dovey with Big Sister? Was there another eye watching me?"

Bai Lin's lips twitched. This was clearly a scene from a Resident Evil movie, and it was actually happening in this world. But then he thought about it again. Even magic existed in this world, so the zombie virus wasn't so strange after all.

Bai Lin said, "So, the Ship of Light has now taken control of that biologist, used the mysterious virus he discovered to modify a magical potion, and created a biological weapon, right?"

Hiroyuki Edogawa said, "That's all right. Because this paper is from two years ago, and the academic community has been very controversial because they can't obtain the scientist's mysterious virus strain to verify the paper's authenticity. After all, there are many bizarre new discoveries every year, and the topic of immortality is a major area of ​​pseudoscience. If the Ship of Light comes knocking on our door soon, it will be difficult to rebuild a virus research institute for him within a year or two."

Bai Lin suddenly realized and said, "You mean, it's possible that the Ship of Light directly took control of that scientist's original research institute and turned it into a base for viral weapons?"

Hiroyuki Edogawa nodded and said, "That's right. So our target isn't a yacht in the Pacific Ocean, but Kagoshima Prefecture, located at the southern tip of Kyushu, Japan."

Bai Lin stroked his chin and said, "Give me the address. I want to give the Ship of Light a little surprise..."

Hiroyuki Edogawa, however, said, "Take me with you!"

Chung Shun-man: "Please don't forget that I still exist..."
