Yi Nanping's men were filled with disbelief.
"Lieutenant Yi, these tentacle monsters are clearly the 'relic species' that can infect and parasitize humans! When will they be killed by bullets?!"
"Yes, Lieutenant Yi, doesn't it say that if you encounter special creatures related to the 'relic species', you must call for support from your superiors and have powerful psychics with high genetic evolution levels take action?"
Yi Nanping recalled his last painful experience battling these "survivors" with his mental strength. He rubbed his nose with his hand and said dissatisfiedly, "You are not analyzers, how can you conclude that it was killed by a bullet?"
"One team will go in and use instruments to search to determine if there are any surviving species left."
"Team Two will conduct an ordnance inspection to see if they can find the person who did this."
He gave orders in an orderly manner.
"Yes, Lieutenant Yi!"
These people are the regular troops that Ye Shijie mentioned.
Just looking at the large bomb-laden drones that surrounded the sky above the six-story building, it was clear that these people's instruments and equipment were obviously much better than those of hunters like Ye Shijie.
Under Yi Nanping's command, a group of people wearing black protective suits entered the room with instruments.
The second group, wearing camouflage uniforms, carried instruments to inspect the remnants of ordnance on the open space in front of the building.
Five minutes later, a team of officers emerged from the room, gesturing, "Lieutenant Yi, we've checked everything. There are only four traffickers left in the room, all killed by a single gunshot wound, with no trace of the remaining human ancestry. There are also 23 abducted victims, all deceased, with no trace of the remaining human ancestry."
Yi Nanping frowned, walked over to the human skin on the ground, and wondered, "Could this be the only one who was planted with the seed of relic? What a pity, he was beaten like this."
A group of members wearing black protective suits bent down and put away the sieved human skin as important evidence.
Another ordnance inspection technician said to Yi Nanping, "Captain, after inspection, the bullet casings on the ground are all 085 and 093 bullets produced by Zong's Military Industry this year. In addition to equipping the military, only a few organizations in the country can legally purchase these two types of bullets."
Yi Nanping sneered, "In the Beichen Empire, we control guns, but not bullets. Zong's military-made bullets are available to anyone with money, so how can they be legal?"
His men were used to being told off without a word.
Yi Nanping squatted down and stared at the thickest part of the tentacle remaining among the bullet shells on the ground.
The tentacle was charred black by the gunpowder of the bullet, like a burnt octopus leg, but much larger in size, a burnt geoduck octopus leg.
His eyes were sharp as he stared at the tentacle, as if he wanted to use his eyes as an analyzer to analyze the structure of the tentacle.
He did use mental detection, but found nothing.
This tentacle stump burned by ammunition is dead beyond dead. Its material structure is no different from the seafood that humans eat.
The only conclusion we can draw is that they are all carbon-based organisms and are equally rich in protein.
Yi Nanping slowly stood up, frowned, and said, "Are there no living tentacles?"
He still held a glimmer of hope, because according to their previous experience, the tentacles generated by these relic species are very tenacious and can regenerate even if only a small piece of cell tissue is left.
However, the results of this investigation do not support this conclusion.
"…Reporting to the captain, it has been confirmed that there are no survivors. They are all dead at the cellular level."
"What a pity." Yi Nanping sighed again.
His men placed the charred tentacles into translucent evidence bags and said, "In recent years, there have been three cases of tentacle monsters injuring people."
"No one has ever been able to defeat them with conventional weapons, because their mental attacks are incredibly powerful and bizarre. Even at a low level, for us humans, even peak C-level mentalists are unable to withstand them, and of course, we can't retaliate with conventional weapons."
"If the test results this time can prove that they were indeed killed by conventional weapons, that would be very exciting news."
"Yes, of the previous times, only once did Lieutenant Yi survive for about a week by grabbing a tentacle. So far, the only word I've learned from it is 'relic species'."
"This time, the tentacle monsters were stronger than the previous ones, but they were all killed. What a pity."
Yi Nanping stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the night sky and muttering, "If only we had come a minute earlier... If we had come a minute earlier, we could at least have gotten a living tentacle monster."
"Or maybe we can find out who was so cruel as to use conventional weapons to beat a relic species that requires high-level mental power to destroy into seafood..."
When his men heard the word "seafood", their expressions suddenly became strange, as if they were feeling aggrieved and wanted to vomit but couldn't.
I guess everyone won’t want to eat seafood for a long time...
Yi Nanping didn't think so much.
He frowned, walked into the room and carefully explored it, then came out and looked around, while also looking at the open space in front of the building and the surrounding environment within a radius of one thousand meters.
The special glasses attached to his helmet are like a high-powered computer that can record the surrounding environment and upload it to the mechanical intelligent system in the cloud for high-powered modeling, which enables better data analysis.
He then gave the order, "Take away everything here, including the bullet casings and tentacle remains on the ground. Have the local correctional department notify the parents who reported the case and ask them to come and claim these deceased abducted victims. This building must be completely sealed off, and all residents must evacuate."
He watched his subordinates clean up the mess while waiting for the analysis results from the technical department.
Suddenly, the nano-level quantum optical brain embedded in the back of Yi Nanping's head sent out information instructions, which were directly transmitted to his brain through the brain-computer interface.
【Lieutenant Yi Nanping of Group 12, District 3, Special Security Bureau, Mulan City Branch, please go to safe house No. 244, District 8, in the same city to receive inquiries from superiors】.
The electronic sound simulated by the quantum optical computer repeated the message three times before stopping.
Yi Nanping responded with a "yes" in his mind.
He calmly summoned a small combat aircraft and ordered, "I have to leave first. Once you're done, send me a message. Remember, this place must be sealed off."
"Yes, Lieutenant Yi."
…
In less than five minutes, Yi Nanping arrived at the safe house No. 244, District 8, Mulan City, as ordered by his superiors.
The person who opened the door was a short and stocky robot butler.
It is not a humanoid, but a cylindrical mechanical body with four robotic arms and a circular mechanical chassis as a moving tool.
Yi Nanping walked in and the door closed automatically with a bang.
It was originally an ordinary home, but after the door was closed, the light and shadow in the room changed and it soon became a small meeting room.
Yi Nanping knew that this was actually three-dimensional holographic projection technology, but it was too realistic and looked like the real thing.
A man wearing a dark gray military uniform with silver trim sat at the head of the conference table with a serious expression, staring at Yi Nanping who had visited the scene today.
Under the military cap that was the same color as his uniform, he looked so handsome that he even looked a little feminine, but his eyes were slightly intimidating, and it was obvious that he was not a good person.
The man introduced himself, "I'm Colonel Zong Ruoan from the Information Department of the Special Security Bureau Headquarters. I just received the data you uploaded and have some information I need to confirm with you."
Yi Nanping saluted: "Yes, Colonel Zong."
"Are you Lieutenant Yi Nanping of Group 12, District 3, of the Special Security Bureau stationed in Mulan City?"
"yes."
"Lieutenant Yi, first of all, where did you get the news today that the remnants appeared in Mulan City? Secondly, why didn't you capture the remnants alive this time, but instead killed them all?"
Yi Nanping smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Colonel Zong, I am also puzzled by this matter. I think it is very strange."
"explain."
"We received a message from the local correctional department in Mulan City at 1:15 AM, saying that a 'relic species' had appeared in their jurisdiction."
"Based on past experience, the local disciplinary department is unable to handle cases related to 'survivor species'. The Special Security Bureau's elite team must dispatch the most powerful psychics among the genetically evolved."
"I once handled a case involving 'relic species'. I was closest to the location where the 'relic species' appeared, so I was notified to arrive at the scene immediately."
"We arrived at the scene at 1:45 a.m. We could have arrived ten minutes earlier, but we were stopped by our superiors and had to wait there for ten minutes before we could go."
Zong Ruoan nodded when he heard this and said calmly, "Well, I know about the suspension. It's not your fault."
As he spoke, he waved his hand and the three-dimensional holographic projection in front of him changed, showing three different scenes.
Although the time and place are different, these three scenes are equally bloody and terrifying.
Zong Ruoan tapped his fingers lightly, pointing to the first scene and saying, "This is a rare species that has only appeared in recent years."
"This creature is extremely difficult to deal with. Once it appears, it will cause widespread casualties."
"It first appeared three years ago, infecting and engulfing over 300 people at a commercial company in central Mulan City."
"It reappeared two years ago, in the East End, when it infected an entire floor of a residential unit, totaling more than 500 people."
"It appeared for the third time a year ago. This time, everyone was prepared. It appeared while you were on a mission. After infecting and devouring eighteen people, you captured it alive. It survived for a week. During that time, we only learned the term 'relic species' from it."
“This is the fourth time this year.”
Yi Nanping stood straight and said seriously, "Yes, Colonel Zong. Based on our previous three experiences, although the spiritual power level of rare creatures like the 'Relic' is not high, they have a very strong infection ability. With just a small amount of microcellular tissue, they can survive and infect organisms, and absorb nutrients from the host, growing rapidly."
"Also, their mental power is very unique. While not of high level, it is extremely penetrating, capable of completely ignoring any defensive measures and directly targeting the brain's action control system."
"So if you encounter one, even a genetically evolved being wouldn't be able to subdue it with force, as they would be under their mind control and unable to operate weapons. This is why conventional weapons never work."
"And their reproduction method is fission. We believe conventional weapons are ineffective because conventional weapons simply cannot kill all the tentacles at once."
"So, a powerful psychic with a high genetic evolutionary level must counterattack in a crushing manner to completely eliminate all the infected species at once and prevent them from continuing to divide, reproduce, and grow."
Of course, after today, their judgment needs to be revised.
Conventional weapons may still be effective.
Yi Nanping thought silently in his heart.
Zong Ruoan crossed his arms, narrowed his deep black eyes, and said thoughtfully, "Lieutenant Yi is a gene evolver with peak B-level mental power. You happened to be there when it appeared for the third time and captured one of the relic species alive. Now answer my second question. Why didn't you capture it alive this time, and instead killed all of the relic species?"
Yi Nanping's mouth twitched, and he said with a wry smile: "Colonel Zong, this time, it actually has nothing to do with me."
"When we arrived, those tentacle remains had already completely died physically."
Zong Ruoan asked solemnly, "Really? Then who killed them? In Mulan City, is there anyone with stronger psychic powers than you, Lieutenant Yi?"
Yi Nanping was speechless for a moment.
To be honest, he couldn't figure it out either.
Although Mulan City is a big city, it is only a city on Guiyuan Star, the most remote star in the Beichen Empire's star field. Its population is not small, but it can only be ranked among the last few in the ranking of big cities in the entire Beichen Empire.
In such a place, he, a genetic evolver with a peak level of B mental power, is already a ceiling-level strongman.
He couldn't think of anyone here who was of a higher rank than him.
While he remained silent, Zong Ruoan continued to ask thoughtfully, "The highest level of the relic species that appeared a few times ago was only at the peak of D-level, so you can completely crush them. Based on past experience, humans need two levels of mental power higher to completely suppress the relic species and kill them."
"Based on the data uploaded so far, the spiritual power of this wave of relic species should have reached the peak of C-level. Relic species of this level require a strong person with spiritual power at the peak of A-level to crush and kill them."
"So, tell me, why would a peak-level A-level psychic expert appear on Guiyuan Star, the most remote planet in the empire? And why is it outside the jurisdiction of our Special Security Bureau?"
The peak of mental power level A, that is an existence more terrifying than Yi Nanping, the "ceiling level" strongman of Mulan City.
In the entire Beichen Empire, those at the peak of A-level mental power are also the first-tier strongmen, and 99% of them are stationed in Beichen Star, the capital star field of the empire.
As Zong Ruoan finished speaking, the conference room fell into deathly silence.
After a long while, Yi Nanping said with a hint of bitterness: "Colonel Zong, in fact, there may be powerful psychics from other organizations appearing in Mulan City. We just don't know about it."
"For example?"
"If nothing else, the Dark Night Hunters Association is full of powerful people." Yi Nanping was a little unwilling, but shook his head helplessly. "I actually strongly suspect that the person who took action before us was a member of the Dark Night Hunters Association stationed in Mulan City."
