Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1064 556: Knife Labor Ghost of Yuezhou (3)

But she didn't want to drag Li Banfeng into danger. After much consideration, she decided to handle it alone.

She went to the campus supermarket, and the magical treasure that resonated with her was exactly the locker in the campus supermarket.

The dangerous person was He Jiaqing; he had stored something in the locker.

The campus locker was a highly advanced magical treasure; ordinary people couldn't obtain the items inside through violent means, not even the current Teacher Song.

But Teacher Song had other ways; she and the locker were friends, and friends had special ways of communicating.

Teacher Song felt her way through each locker door, engaging in a dialogue with the locker.

The locker door vibrated rhythmically, conveying information to Teacher Song: "Remind you that He Jiaqing has been here, and out of our friendship, protecting a guest's belongings is a responsibility I must bear."

The locker was reluctant to hand over He Jiaqing's belongings to Teacher Song.

Teacher Song lightly tapped the locker door with her fingertips, expressing her intent: "I am a teacher at the school, and protecting students' safety is my responsibility. I suspect that the items He Jiaqing stored may pose a huge threat."

The locker quickly provided feedback: "From my observations, the item itself will not bring harm or disaster."

Teacher Song tapped the locker door again: "Can you tell me what the item is?"

"It's an information storage device."

"What type of information does it store inside? Is the information itself harmful?"

The locker couldn't answer.

Teacher Song made a promise: "Give me half an hour; if the information is not harmful, I will immediately return the item."

After waiting a while, the third locker door on the second row automatically popped open; He Jiaqing's stored item was inside.

It was a USB flash drive.

Teacher Song carefully examined the USB drive. The drive itself indeed posed no other harm. She took the USB back to her office and plugged it into a computer.

The USB contained only one video file. Upon opening it, the footage displayed surveillance from an abandoned construction site.

Recently, there had been many abandoned construction sites in Yue State City. Teacher Song carefully observed for a while and determined, through the scenery outside the window, that this was a building site in Yunxiu District.

The video was about thirty minutes long, and for the first twenty minutes, nothing unusual appeared.

At twenty-one minutes and sixteen seconds, a shadow suddenly flashed by.

Teacher Song rewound the surveillance footage and observed the black shadow frame by frame.

After capturing key frames, Teacher Song could see the outline of the silhouette.

The limbs were short and thick, the body round and smooth, without discernible edges.

Looking carefully at the movement trajectory of the shadow, Teacher Song was taken aback.

This was a Knife Labor Ghost!

A Knife Labor Ghost had appeared in Yuezhou!

Teacher Song immediately drove to the construction site, knowing that dealing with one Knife Labor Ghost wasn't difficult for her.

But as she was nearing Yunxiu District, another critical question surfaced in her mind.

Did only one Knife Labor Ghost come, or was it a group?

If she rushed to the scene now, could the situation still be controlled?

Knife Ghost Ridge was mobile; was it just a Knife Labor Ghost that had come to Yuezhou, or the entire Knife Ghost Ridge?

This might trigger a disaster, a calamity for all of Yuezhou, or even the entire Huan Country.

The scene must be controlled, and besides that, more personnel must be mobilized for broader actions.

She took out her phone and dialed a number.

...

Li Banfeng returned home, sorted through some calculations, although he hadn't found the final answer, he had made some progress.

He was about to return to the Portable Residence to give the calculations to his wife when the projector spoke: "Seventh Guide, there's a message from the Dark Star Bureau."

Li Banfeng read the message. The message stated that something unusual had been detected at Hesheng Residential Area, Shifeng Road in Yunxiu District, and all combat personnel of the Dark Star Bureau were to assemble at the area.

All combat personnel?

This involved more than just the Public Security Team.

What sort of urgent situation was this serious?

Li Banfeng handed the calculations to his wife and immediately headed to Hesheng Residential Area, where Shen Jingye was already waiting at the entrance.

Cars arrived one after the other; Public Security Team, Explosives Team, Investigation Department, Biochemical Prevention and Control Group, Electromagnetic Prevention Group, Anti-Air Group, Aquatic Prevention Group, Poison Prevention Group, Special Emergency Response Team, all were present.

"Little Shen, what's going on?"

Shen Jingye said, "Someone in this residential area discovered a Knife Labor Ghost."

"Discovered what?" Li Banfeng doubted he had heard correctly.

Shen Jingye seriously repeated, "A Knife Labor Ghost! A mutant species resulting from cross-infection of dark energy and pathogens. You're familiar with this from Puluo State, surely I don't need to explain."

Li Banfeng asked, "Where did the information come from?"

"It came from the surveillance footage of building number nine."

"What's the timestamp of the footage?"

"From two hours ago. The Knife Labor Ghost might still be in the residential area, or it might have moved to another place. The situation is extremely urgent; the Knife Labor Ghost could potentially bring unimaginable disaster to the entire Yuezhou!

This is the most severe challenge we've faced since the Greenwater Beggar incident, where we cannot afford any mistakes."

A Knife Labor Ghost in Yuezhou?

If true, it would indeed spell disaster. Theoretically, one Knife Labor Ghost could spawn countless others, until a city is destroyed.

But how could a Knife Labor Ghost appear in Yuezhou?

Li Banfeng was very familiar with the habits of Knife Labor Ghosts. After Cui Tiq's modifications, although many changes had occurred, their range of activity was limited and they couldn't stray too far from Knife Ghost Ridge.

Did Cui Tiq conduct other experiments?

Has the plan to destroy all of humanity begun?

Or has Knife Ghost Ridge been moved to Yuezhou?
