Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1066 557: That's My Big Brother!

Li Banfeng and Teacher Song searched the entire community but found no trace of the Knife Labor Ghost.

Teacher Song had some doubts about the authenticity of the news. Could that video have been faked?

Yuezhou University has many experts, and the Dark Star Bureau has many professionals. Teacher Song even knows high-level Peeping Cultivation masters. If the video was faked, it could not escape their eyes.

But why couldn't they find the Knife Labor Ghost on site? Could it be that the Knife Labor Ghost really fled? Is Yuezhou truly doomed? Is there no room for recovery...

The more Teacher Song thought about it, the more pessimistic she became, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Not good!

Something's wrong!

Teacher Song felt she was about to have an attack.

Calm down, calm the emotions down, the symptoms aren't too severe yet, should be able to endure, can't trouble Banfeng at this time.

"Banfeng, you first report the situation here to the Dark Star Bureau. I'll search once more, just in case of any oversight. Do not, under any circumstances, reveal my condition to them."

Li Banfeng nodded and left the community to inform Shen Jingye about the situation.

After listening to Li Banfeng's account, Shen Jingye believed that the Knife Labor Ghost had already escaped from the community. The immediate measure needed was to lock down Yue State City and conduct a thorough search.

Du Wenming agreed with Shen Jingye's point of view and prepared to report the relevant situation immediately.

Li Banfeng asked Shen Jingye, "How do you plan to lock down Yue State City?"

"Of course, by sealing off the major transportation routes..." Halfway through the sentence, Shen Jingye fell into thought.

If the Knife Labor Ghost wants to leave Yue State City, it doesn't need to take the transportation routes, as they are hardly restricted by roads.

As everyone was at a loss, a member of the investigation department suddenly shouted, "There's movement!"

"What kind of movement?"

"The drone captured something, something is at Building 6." The investigator rewound the drone footage by more than a minute, and everyone saw a black, smooth figure jumping from Building 6 to Building 5.

This time, the footage was rather clear, with several key frames showing some physical details.

Covered in pus, with black shiny skin, a clear mouth on the face while the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth had all blurred beyond form, the body's curves were smoothly edgeless, with short and stout limbs resembling chunks of meat.

From the video, Li Banfeng didn't notice any flaws. Could it really be the Knife Labor Ghost?

When passing Building 6 earlier, Li Banfeng didn't sense any danger. Although his cultivation level had indeed advanced, increasing his combat power, creatures like the Knife Labor Ghost still posed a threat to him. He shouldn't have been unable to sense any danger.

The situation allowed no time for further thought. Li Banfeng quickly entered the community and made a beeline for Building 5.

Shen Jingye urged the investigation department, "Deploy the drone into Building 5!"

The investigators tried several times but didn't succeed.

Building 5 was planned to be thirty-six stories high, but only ten stories had been built. The building was full of scaffolding and safety nets, unsuitable for drone navigation.

"Aren't there any cameras in the stairwell?"

The investigator replied, "Building 5 has only two cameras and neither is at the floor where the incident occurred."

In the midst of anxiety, Li Banfeng had already rushed into the stairwell. As he reached the eighth floor, he suddenly heard a muffled sound. A mass of whitish-yellow pus slowly trickled down the stairs.

Li Banfeng carefully avoided the pus and rushed to the ninth floor, where he found Teacher Song panting on the stairs, with a corpse with a ruptured torso lying by her feet.

Teacher Song took out a teaching pointer, swiped past Li Banfeng's earpiece, silencing it, and said, "I happened to be in Building 5 when this thing jumped over from Building 6, and I blocked it."

Li Banfeng said, "Are you hurt?"

Teacher Song shook her head. "I'm not sure if only one Knife Labor Ghost came to Yue State City; let's let the Dark Star Bureau handle the scene first. In the subsequent investigation, I'll fully cooperate with you."

"Whatever you do, don't touch the Knife Labor Ghost's corpse. Their blood and flesh are poisonous."

Teacher Song nodded and said, "Go find Shen Jingye, ask about his handling plans, buy me some time. I'll conduct some investigations here and leave immediately."

After speaking, Teacher Song used the teaching pointer again to tap Li Banfeng's earpiece, removing the silence.

Li Banfeng had just descended two floors when he paused again.

Something was off about Teacher Song's condition.

Faint sounds of rapid breathing were heard from upstairs.

This breathing sound was very familiar to him because he had heard it before.

He quickly returned to the ninth floor and saw Teacher Song sitting on the stairs, clutching her chest, trembling all over, on the verge of sliding down the stairs.

Li Banfeng stepped over the Knife Labor Ghost's corpse and rushed forward to support Teacher Song.

Teacher Song's face was pale, her features twisted, and every breath seemed like being strangled.

She's having an attack!

Once again, Shen Jingye's voice came from the earpiece: "How's the situation inside?"

"The Knife Labor Ghost has been dealt with. Bring people to handle the scene. I'll conduct investigations elsewhere. Remember, no Dark Energy Users below Sixth Layer should be brought in."

Li Banfeng removed the earpiece and handed it to the Projector.

The Projector responded, "Most of the similar ones around have become my friends."

This indicated that Li Banfeng could avoid most surveillance.

Li Banfeng carried Teacher Song on his back and quickly dashed out of the construction site.

The members of the Dark Star Bureau outside the site did not see Li Banfeng's figure, only feeling a chill wind brushing their cheeks.

Li Banfeng sprinted all the way to Teacher Song's home, used Gloves to open the door, first took Teacher Song to the bedroom, then found a medicine bottle in the fridge.

He took three capsules out of the bottle and was about to feed them to Teacher Song when she shook her head persistently.
