“And then?” Xu Ning could not help but ask when he saw that Xu Tianjiao had stopped and looked unhappy.
“Don’t be anxious. Let me think about it first. I’ve received too many documents during this period of time. I can’t even remember them.”
Xu Tianjiao rubbed his temples in distress. Xu Ning did not rush him anymore when he saw this. Let him think about it slowly.
A moment later…Xu Tianjiao raised his head as if he had thought of something and continued, “Then, that gentleman called the police at the local police station. He suspected that someone was killing people in the back of the mountain. The police station took this matter very seriously. They immediately sent a few experienced police officers to investigate.
“After that, without exception, all those police officers went missing!”
Xu Tianjiao’s face was gloomy as he said with a serious tone.
Then, he took out his phone from his pocket and quickly unlocked the file to open a video. He then handed it to Xu Ning.
“This was taken by a camera placed by the school at the back of the mountain. Take a look for yourself.”
Xu Ning nodded slightly and reached out to open the play button.
Some snow-white images flashed through the phone and then began to play normally.
In the screen, two men and a woman in casual clothes were walking on a path in the forest behind the mountain. The three of them were whispering to each other. No one knew what they were talking about.
It looked like they were tourists. However, as the progress bar went on, a terrifying incident happened.
It was unknown when the female police officer among the three of them disappeared into thin air!
This made the other two male police officers start to be afraid, because this was too abnormal! The companion who had been following them a moment ago had suddenly disappeared!
The matter had not ended here. After the two police officers seemed to have discussed for a while, they began to return home. In their eyes, this matter was completely out of their ability range!
Because it was too strange, the people around them had inexplicably disappeared! This was simply a supernatural incident!
Just as the two of them were about to go back along the road they came from, a pitch-black, slender line directly wrapped around the right leg of a male police officer. Then, under the horrified gaze of the other male police officer, he let out a blood-curdling scream before he was dragged into the depths of the forest and disappeared.
This scene terrified the remaining policeman. He rushed down the mountain with all his might. However, just as he was about to reach the exit, the long black line appeared again. Under his terrified gaze…it wrapped around his right leg and took him away in the same way, ignoring his blood-curdling scream.
Looking at the silent forest with no one in sight, Xu Ning’s expression did not look too good. His eyes were filled with worry. If nothing unexpected happened, Yi Guang and Chen Zhong would also be taken away.
After the video ended, Xu Tianjiao said, “After the police disappeared, the police station pulled out this surveillance footage. After they saw it, they immediately reported it to the supernatural bureau.
“When we received this incident, we immediately sent people from the supernatural bureau to investigate with the equipment. However, considering the demons inside, the investigators did not enter the forest. They only used the equipment outside to do a rough investigation.”
At this point, Xu Tianjiao’s face turned livid as he sighed, “It was precisely because of this investigation that the demon level displayed by the equipment was only at level two. It was considered a lower-level demon.
“Immediately after that, we issued a request for the capable people in the group to solve it. The people who accepted this request were none other than your two friends, Yi Guang and Chen Zhong. As they were my team members, I had some understanding of their strength. Therefore, after seeing that the demon level of the request was at level two, I let the two of them solve it together.
“And then…”
Xu Tianjiao clenched his fists tightly, his face filled with regret.
“And then, the two of them disappeared just like those police officers.”
After hearing this, Xu Ning’s face was as dark as water. He said a little angrily, “So, you came here to let me accept this mission and then let me go find them, right?”
Xu Tianjiao did not deny it. He just nodded his head helplessly.
“To be able to fool the detection of the device and to kidnap Yi Guang and Chen Zhong, if nothing goes wrong, it’s at least a middle-ranked demon. Most of the people in the group are genius disciples of cultivation sects and new university students. Their strength isn’t that strong, so there’s no way to deal with a middle-ranked demon. As for those small group members who can deal with a middle-ranked demon, they are all busy with other more important things.
“I didn’t have any other choice. That’s why I wanted to give you a try.”
Xu Ning glared at him fiercely, he said angrily, “Then why didn’t you go? They’re your subordinates. As the team leader, shouldn’t you be the first to rescue them? Now that it’s been so long, you’ve come to me for help. Maybe the two of them are already gone!”
How could Xu Tianjiao not know that Xu Ning was blaming him for not going to save them? He could only smile bitterly. Was it because he did not want to save them? Of course not!
Anyone who knew him a little would know how protective he was.
However, he was so busy that he could not be in two places at once. Even the news of Yi Guang and Chen Zhong’s disappearance was known to him three days ago. However, at that time, he was on a mission to suppress a superior demon, there was no time for him to rescue them.
After that, he had to deal with a bunch of important confidential documents. Even now, he had to rely on one of the missions to come out and tell Xu Ning about this.
Xu Ning saw that Xu Tianjiao did not speak and only had a bitter smile on his face. Instantly, he was furious. If it was not for the fact that he still understood this bastard father of his, he would have already punched him.
“Alright, I understand. I will accept this mission. Leave the matters between the two of them to me. You go and do your own thing.”
Although he was angry with Xu Tianjiao, Xu Ning still had to accept this mission. He had to accept it, both emotionally and logically!
After all, he was his brother who had been with him for a few years! If he did not save them, would he, Xu Ning, still be human?!
Xu Tianjiao lifted his head when he heard this, and a look of gratitude appeared on his face. Xu Ning accepted it. Although it was within his expectations, Xu Tianjiao’s heart finally heaved a sigh of relief when he really agreed to it.
“Then I’ll leave it to you, son. Please try your best to bring these two back.”
Although Xu Tianjiao did not know if the two of them were still alive, he still had hope in his heart.
Hearing this, Xu Ning waved his hand impatiently.

“Got it. If you don’t have anything else to say, then get lost. I’ll leave after making some preparations.”
Xu Tianjiao knew very well that Xu Ning was chasing him away. This was exactly what he wanted because he still had important matters to attend to at the moment. It was already the limit for him to stay here and say so much.
Thus, he stood up and took his leave. However, just as he walked out of the room and was about to close the door…he suddenly opened the door and shouted into the room, “Silly son! Considering that you have no experience in this kind of search and rescue operation, I’ve arranged two helpers for you. When the time comes, remember to contact them. It’s the Little Daoist Priest and Heavenly Dao Sect’s Little Fairy in the group. Remember to bring them along!”
After saying that, Xu Tianjiao immediately closed the door and ran away in a hurry. He did not give Xu Ning a chance to refuse him at all.
This caused Xu Ning, who was in the hall, to be stunned. Then, his expression darkened. He gritted his teeth and said, “This f*cking father….”
